This time Wang Hai did not follow the ship to West Asia. They had already met last time and the necessary agreements had been signed. All that was needed was one person in charge.
This time the person in charge is concurrently held by Xiong Dahai, who is responsible for selecting capable crew members and formally promoting them to the person in charge of tanker trading. The candidates are selected from ordinary employees on the tanker, which can increase the enthusiasm of the workers. Now, all
The crew members are full of fighting spirit and ready to fight for this position. In Haidong Industrial, everyone knows that 90% of the leaders are promoted from the lowest level, such as the current He Muhui; the remaining 10% are the boss’s friends, classmates, etc.
, there is no need to count on this.
The ship did not enter the Strait of Malacca directly, but first arrived at Songkhla in the Kra Isthmus, now the territory of China. It dropped Wang Hai, Liu Haiming and related personnel, and then turned around and headed for the Strait of Malacca. This time, Wang Hai would take the entire journey
Track the surveying and mapping work, and combine your thoughts with the actual surveying, mapping, and terrain at any time.
Compared with other original plans, Wang Hai planned to choose another location to dig the canal. In 2000, China and Japan had the best plan. One was to dig at the narrowest point, costing 6 billion US dollars, but that was Thailand's
Territory. Japan’s plan is at the southernmost point, which is starting from what is now Songkhla, which happens to be the dividing line between China’s territory and Thailand’s territory. When the territory was ceded, international countries were accurate. So now
What was in front of Wang Hai was another route - re-surveying the map and re-planning the excavation route.
"Boss Wang is finally here. If you don't come again, I will send someone to invite you." As soon as Wang Hai docked, a sturdy young man rushed towards him.
"Xie Yun! Why are you here?" Wang Hai looked at Xie Yun in military uniform in surprise. The badge on his shoulder showed that this was another young and unattractive major general.
"What else can I do? You're not causing trouble. I can only stay here now. Let's go, get in the car first, and let you take care of yourself. The accommodation for your employees has been arranged."
"Haha, thank you so much. By the way, why are you here?" Sitting on the jeep, Wang Hai looked at Xie Yun, who was the driver himself.
"Fuck! You don't know what kind of chaos this place is! As soon as these demons heard that their area had been ceded, they held rallies and demonstrations every day, and some even attacked local officials."
"Official? Ours?"
"No, it was originally from Thailand, but now it is still under their control. There is currently no manpower available in the country."
"What is the system here now?"
"The original system is maintained, but now military control is implemented. Now some people want to join the Chinese nationality, and some people want to leave. It's very chaotic."
"It's normal." Wang Hai shrugged, "By the way, don't let everyone run away. If you live for a while, you will need to dig a canal, and you need migrant workers, and they happen to be from Thailand. Give them the lowest wage, and they will work the hardest and hardest."
Tiring work."
"Hehe, he is indeed a black-hearted businessman."
"I am over-flattered."
After dinner, Xie Yun pulled Wang Hai and wanted to compete, but Wang Hai punched him to the ground. He screamed for a long time before he got up.
"Bah! You are so cruel. It's over. I won't be able to see anyone tomorrow. Another black eye." Xie Yun covered his left eye hard.
"Hehe, you asked for this. Tell me, what's the matter? I won't believe you are so bored and come here to beat you up."
"That's right. I'll reconfirm your authority today. After the canal is successfully excavated, you will have all commercial and administrative powers over the canal and the ten kilometers along the coast, but you will have no military jurisdiction."
"Fuck! I've known it for a long time. To be honest, I have spent so much effort to achieve this. I am really not willing to accept it. The most important thing is that the cost of digging the canal is estimated to be no less than 50 billion US dollars!"
"Haha, just be content. You should be smiling secretly if you can get such full strength. No country can allow private individuals to own permanent land and powerful armed forces. You now have a team of 300 people, and
The land you are about to acquire is enough to make you proud of the whole world."
"I know, I just feel a little unwilling."
"Haha, look at it. Life can't always go smoothly. This is my phone number. If you have any questions, please contact me directly."
"Thank you very much. If you want to do something else that day, please feel free to contact me."
"Fuck! I'm not so mean as to call you just to get beaten up."
"Hahaha……"
After seeing Xie Yun off, Wang Hai personally led the team to start surveying and surveying. The Kra Isthmus has a complex terrain with continuous mountains and hills, making it very difficult to dig a canal.
There are three major shipping rivers in the world: the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, and the Kiel Canal. Among them, the Suez Canal is surrounded by endless desert, which is very convenient for excavation. The Kiel Canal is located in a plain. Only the Panama Canal has undulating terrain and dense tropical rainforests, and construction
It is extremely difficult, as some of the rivers are higher than sea level, and multi-level ship locks have to be installed to ensure navigation.
Now, the environment of the Isthmus of Kra is worse than that of Panama. It is also densely covered with tropical rain forests, in which a large number of poisonous insects and beasts grow. The terrain is undulating, with the Phuket Mountains traversing the north and south of the isthmus, with the lowest altitude in the middle being 75 meters. If according to the normal plan: the river width is 400 meters
meters, the water depth is 25 meters, and it is calculated that more than two-thirds of the river will be above sea level, requiring the construction of a large number of ship locks, with an estimated construction period of 10 years.
The surveying and mapping work progressed very slowly, and the locals were blocking it. It was obvious that it was organized and disciplined, and it must have been instigated by some countries. Also, it was almost impossible to move forward in the rainforest, and all the surveying and mapping was done by helicopters. In one month, the surveying and mapping work was completed
Less than 20% has been completed.
"Ah Hai, it's too difficult. We must adopt other methods. If we continue at this rate, it will be amazing if we can start construction next summer. What we are currently surveying and mapping are only ordinary areas. There is almost no data in the rainforest, mountains and canyons." One month.
, Liu Haiming, who was originally fair and tender, is now completely dark. And now, Liu Haiming's attainments in geological exploration are catching up with ordinary experts.
"What do you think we think differently? Excavate the entire river at a depth of 25 meters below sea level without setting up ship locks. This will make surveying and mapping much easier, but the investment may be high."
"Ah Hai, you are just talking like a layman. If you really want to do this, at least one-third of the river section needs to be dug to a depth of 100 meters, one-third needs to be dug to a depth of 70 meters, and the rest
All of them need to be dug 50 meters deep, so the entire project is estimated to take 20 years, and the investment will be far more than 100 billion US dollars."
"No, Haiming, this investment will be reduced a lot, and the speed will be faster. You forgot, we have space equipment. In fact, the transportation of materials, earth and stone accounts for more than 60% of the cost of the entire project. We can completely avoid these
.”
"Yes! Haha, I'll go back and redesign it, haha..."
