Two days ago, teachers from the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at Jiaotong University organized an early final exam for Gu Kun alone so that he could finish the exam in advance and go to Oceania to prepare for the Atlanta Olympics in more than a month.
In fact, there is no separate paper for the final exam. The one that Gu Kun took is the one that his classmates will take in half a month. Anyway, the final exam in the university does not need to be particularly rigorous. It is no better than the college entrance examination, and it is not
People go to great lengths to cheat.
After the exam, Gu Kun flew back to Lanfang overnight. He needed to make a final inspection of his business before going to Oceania.
At the maintenance dock of Lanfang Port, a huge unfinished mothership has been moored there. The welding arc is splashing, the forging hammer is roaring, and the modification work is in full swing.
Although the class codes of "Isakov" and "Kharkov" were not much different in the pre-Lucia era - the latter was called Type 1143 mothership, and the former was called Type 1143.5. It seems that the former is just an improvement and upgrade of the latter.
version.
However, after seeing the real thing, everyone will fully realize that the actual value of these two things is still very different.
The standard displacement of the "Kharkov" is only 32,000 tons, and it can reach 41,000 tons when fully loaded. The standard displacement of the "Isakov" is 45,000 tons, and its displacement when fully loaded can reach 6
Thousands of tons.
This is a direct increase in tonnage by a full 50%. Moreover, the carrier-based aircraft capability has also been increased from 30 to more than 50. One aircraft can almost equal the use of two old ships.
The quality of the models is also completely different. Old models can only use Yak-38 class light single-engine fighters, but new models can use twin-engine heavy fighters newly developed in the 1970s and 1980s.
The huge difference in performance made Gu Kun feel that it was completely worth it to use the "Kharkov" as a cover first and throw away an extra 5 million US dollars in the cost of selling scrap metal. Because the new chips could get him more
long-term benefits.
In order to refit the gaming ship "Isakov", Lanfang Port also carried out a lot of new construction:
Previously, there was only one 40,000-ton maintenance wet dock in Lanfang Port, which was built during the previous repairs of the "Kharkov", with a total investment of more than 100 million yuan.
This year, a new 60,000-ton maintenance wet dock was built with a total investment of 240 million yuan.
Maybe laymen will think that the cost is a bit expensive, but this is the market situation - generally speaking, a wet dock that can only be repaired is at least five times more expensive than a pure berth. If a dry dock can build a ship from scratch, then
It is five to ten times more expensive than a wet dock.
A dock for parking ships costs RMB 20-30 million each, repairing a ship of the same size costs RMB 100-200 million, and building a shipyard of the same size costs RMB 1 billion.
Because when investing in port construction with COSCO before, COSCO held 51% of the shares, so these two docks were also part of the assets of the port authority, and were invested by COSCO and Gu Kun respectively.
COSCO spent a total of 180 million yuan.
The Lanfang royal family and Sa Wuyang were supposed to contribute 120 million, and Gu Kun should contribute 50 million.
However, the royal family is not very interested in these projects that require too much capital, because the royal family did not contribute much money at all in the port shareholding before. They used state-owned land to invest, and they have no intention of spending large sums of cash.
So in the end this time, the royal family only contributed 80 million, and the remaining 90 million was invested by Gu Kun.
Of course, Gu Kun's money was definitely not for nothing. After he invested more, he would increase his shareholding ratio in Lanfang Port. Therefore, the final shareholding ratio of the three parties was slightly adjusted as follows:
From the original "51%:39%:10%" of "Zhong:Lan:Gu", it was adjusted to "51%:31%:18%".
(The total share capital of Lanfang Port was 350 million yuan before. After building two new docks, the fixed assets doubled. So Gu Kun’s total share capital is 359 million yuan, and 125 million yuan accounts for 18% of the total share capital of 700 million yuan. You guys
There’s no need to do the calculation again, I’m not wrong)
…
"It is expected that the cabins of this ship will not be renovated until the end of the year. In addition, the decoration will reduce the smell. Basically, it will not be able to open until this time next year."
After Gu Kun inspected the maintenance dock, a chief engineer sent by China to be responsible for the maintenance project came over to report the progress to his boss.
"Thank you for your hard work, Luo Gong. If you have any difficulties in terms of salary or life, please come to me at any time, or to Xiao Tang for the same." Gu Kun was very polite and corporal.
The chief engineer's name is Luo Zhengang, an old man in his fifties. Because engineers in the shipyard are often exposed to high-density welding environments, which is harmful to health, he retired early before reaching the age of 60.
The other party just arrived last month. Gu Kun had chatted with him several times and learned that the other party worked at Jiangnan Shipyard before retiring, right under the nose of COSCO East China Branch, so he was introduced by someone from COSCO this time.
Lan Fang used his remaining energy.
Gu Kun also learned that this old man could be considered an alumnus of his. He was an older generation college student who entered Hujiang Jiaotong University in the 1960s before it was even ten years old. He studied shipbuilding and ocean engineering. He graduated from Jiaotong University in 1966.
I worked there for 30 years at the backward Jiangnan Shipyard.
Therefore, when Luo Zhengang chatted with Gu Kun, he also felt a kind of friendliness from his classmates: "Boss Gu, you're welcome, I've been building ships and learning shipbuilding all my life, and today is the first time I've had the job of rebuilding this kind of ship.
, it’s not in vain that I retired early for it…”
"Ahem...I didn't hear anything. It seems that you retired early due to physical reasons. The electric welding environment was harmful to your health. In fact, I should find enough ship repair engineers in Lanfang or Malaysia.
I just hate that Lanfang Elementary School is so weak that it can’t even find a single marine engineer, it can’t even get enough marine welders, so it can only hire you all the way to do the hard work.” Gu Kun pretended not to hear the inappropriate remarks.
word.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, I retired early due to health reasons." Luo Zhengang secretly regretted that his ability to keep secrets was not good enough, and he had just changed roles and still couldn't adapt. Sure enough, he has been a man in science and engineering all his life, and he still has to add
Learning how to treat people.
It’s true that you live and learn until you grow old.
Gu Kun was afraid that there would be some trouble here after he left, so he finally confirmed: "As for the drawings, are these enough? We are operating according to the rules. We only ask the Heiklan people for the drawings required for structural modifications, and the rest are free.
Open your mouth."
The so-called "Gu Kun did not ask the Heklan people for the drawings" before, of course, only means that he did not ask for all the drawings.
Because of those detailed drawings for military purposes, it would be useless for him to come. He would definitely not go and cause this trouble in person.
However, mechanical ship structure design drawings are still needed. If not, it will not be convenient to transform into a gaming ship, and it will take time and effort to re-measure and re-map the dimensions. Isn’t that unnecessary?
Gu Kun clearly saw a trace of resentment in Luo Zhengang's eyes, but the other party could only answer him: "The drawings are enough, they are all enough. I know the dimensions and details. It just saves a lot of surveying and mapping time."
"That's good. I'm going to Oceania in a few days. I have to be closed for a while. If you have any questions, wait until I come back. During this period, I can only talk to Xiao Tang." Gu Kun completely blocked the conversation.
