King of Industry

  Chapter 938 The problem of the dock

  When Zhao Guoyang and Mu Yiyi came back after lunch, the news that they confirmed the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend had already spread throughout the company.

  Actually speaking, these employees of "Xingtai International" have always speculated about the relationship between Mr. Zhao and Mu Yiyi, but they have not confirmed it.

   Now that the two of them have shown their generosity to others, they haven't caused much commotion.

  The only change is that when everyone speaks to Mu Yiyi, the assistant to the president, they are a little more polite.

   Of course, Zhao Guoyang would not pay attention to these situations. He has too many things to be busy now.

  Backing to his office, Zhao Guoyang immediately devoted himself to the various calculations of the "high-speed railway project".

  If you want to build a "high-speed railway project", the first thing to bear the brunt is the power issue.

  Like conventional speed railways, the power of high-speed railways will still be electric locomotives as power output.

This power output method is very different from the way of using internal combustion and steam locomotives as power. It does not need to install a prime mover on the locomotive. The electric energy it needs is provided by an electrified railway, and then makes The locomotive works.

   Therefore, the premise of using this power output method is to build an electrified railway.

   Speaking of "electrified railway", it is actually not a new term.

  Since China’s first electrified railway was completed in 1958, almost all subsequent domestic railways were electrified.

  However, the cost of electrified railways adapted to different speeds must be different, and the construction techniques are even more varied.

   To carry out this project smoothly, the design of the electrified railway has become the top priority.

   In this regard, Zhao Guoyang certainly cannot fight alone.

  In fact, he had already asked Mr. Li for instructions, hoping to invite Ji Chongxuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor of mechanical and electrical engineering at Peking University, to be responsible for the design of electrified railways.

   Zhao Guoyang himself is responsible for providing Ji Lao with ideas and suggestions on the general direction.

   For Zhao Guoyang's request, Li Kejian of course readily agreed.

  In fact, Li Kejian knew very well in his heart that the whole of China was full of plans, and besides Zhao Guoyang, the only person who was qualified to preside over the design of this "electrified railway" was Ji Chongxuan.

  The reason why he didn't mention Elder Ji's name before was because he thought that Zhao Guoyang was going to fight in person.

  But after thinking about it later, Mr. Li was relieved.

  After all, Zhao Guoyang is in charge of the general design of the entire "high-speed railway project", and it is impossible to focus on one place.

   Therefore, the design of the "electrified railway" still has to be done by Ji Chongxuan.

   Now what Zhao Guoyang is calculating in the office is the maximum speed allowed for this first "electrified railway" and the amount of electricity that needs to be provided.

   After fiddling with the computer for a while, Zhao Guoyang had roughly listed a number.

  Ji Chongxuan, because he had already communicated with him, after his data is listed, he only needs to ask the people below to fax it, and the other party will receive it.

  After one matter was settled, Zhao Guoyang finally had time to take a break.

  Just as he got up to make a cup of tea, there was a knock on the office door.

  Zhao Guoyang looked up and saw that Zhang Yufang was coming, so he quickly beckoned her to come in and sit down.

After entering the room, Zhang Yufang teased Zhao Guoyang first: "Mr. Zhao, I haven't had time to congratulate you and Yiyi...By the way, I asked Yiyi just now. Are you a surprise attack today? How about it, prepare When are you going to meet your parents?"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang rubbed the back of his head and said, "Hey, it's not urgent. I also told Yiyi when I was having dinner just now. I've been too busy recently, so I can only put aside the matter of seeing my parents for a while. let go!"

  Zhang Yufang smiled and stopped dwelling on this issue.

She handed over a piece of material in her hand to Zhao Guoyang, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Zhao, this material was just sent from the 'Sunmoonstar Company'. After Miss Susanna collected it, she faxed it as soon as possible. Come here, it should be very important..."

  When Zhao Guoyang heard the words, he said "huh" and said: "That's right, Susanna sent a fax in such a hurry, the importance of this must be obvious."

   "Mr. Zhang, sit down for a while, let me take a look!"

  Zhang Yufang naturally has no objection to Zhao Guoyang's decision.

  She nodded with a smile, then quietly sat aside and stared at Zhao Guoyang, waiting for him to finish reading the materials in his hand.

  After opening this material, Zhao Guoyang discovered that it was a report and analysis on the surge in demand for 10,000-ton ocean-going ships by foreign trade companies and transportation companies in Latin America.

  The material clearly shows that there is a huge shortage of 10,000-ton ocean transport ships in Latin America.

   Its annual demand even exceeds 150 ships.

  Because Susanna knew that Zhao Guoyang's "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" had shipbuilding business, she naturally shared the news with him immediately.

   Looking at some of Suzanne's own judgments attached to the materials, Zhao Guoyang gradually fell into deep thought.

  The cost of a 10,000-ton ocean transport ship is about 10 million US dollars.

  The profit of this ship is at least two million U.S. dollars.

  If there is really such a large demand for 10,000-ton marine transport ships in Latin America, this project will definitely be profitable.

  Of course, things like shipbuilding are not that simple.

  In fact, the construction of 10,000-ton ocean transport ships requires a dock of more than 30,000 tons in order to produce them.

   Now, although SJ City has a 30,000-ton shipyard, it already has an owner.

   Its ownership belongs to Huadong Shipyard, a state-owned shipyard in SJ City.

  If "Xingtai International" can't reach an agreement with "East China Shipyard", if they want to engage in this project, they have to re-apply for the construction of a shipyard of the same size.

  The construction of this dock is not so easy, and it will take at least two or three years.

   If it is really delayed like this, the day lily must be cold.

  After thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang touched his chin and put the materials down again.

  Now, he already knows where he is going to work, so naturally he doesn't need to look at the materials.

  He raised his head, glanced at Zhang Yufang, and Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have read all these materials just now. Susanna is right. This 10,000-ton marine ship project is really worth trying."

   "However, we have to solve a problem first, and that is the problem of the dock!"

  Zhao Guoyang opened his fingers and said in detail: "Now in all the coastal provinces of China, there are only three or four ports that build 10,000-ton ocean-going ships."

   "Among them, the two port cities in the Bohai Sea area, because we have more than one shipbuilding company, we definitely have no way to borrow them."

   "In this case, the only option is our local 30,000-ton shipyard in SJ City."

Hearing this, Zhang Yufang couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhao, the 30,000-ton shipyard you mentioned is owned by the Huadong Shipyard in SJ, right? Are you planning to borrow this shipyard from them? "

  Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm", nodded slightly and said, "Borrowing is a must! If possible, I even hope to transfer their dock to us."

  Zhang Yufang was taken aback when she heard the words, but she quickly realized and said, "Mr. Zhao, the possibility you mentioned really exists."

   "As early as last year, I heard that the benefits of the 'East China Shipyard' were not very good. It was hard to get two orders in China, but they were both cancelled."

   "What's even more embarrassing is that an order they received internationally was judged as a breach of contract and fined more than one million dollars because they failed to deliver the ship on time..."

Zhang Yufang sighed with emotion, and continued: "Under such internal and external troubles, the 'East China Shipyard' has long been unable to sustain itself. After March this year, it seems that even the wages of employees have been released. "

   "I think, if we buy their shipyard sincerely, they should seriously consider it!"

After hearing Zhang Yufang's narration, Zhao Guoyang nodded appreciatively to her and said, "Mr. Zhang, your information is much better than mine. I haven't heard anything about the 'East China Shipyard'. pass."

  Hearing this, Zhang Yufang said with a sweet smile, "That's no way, Mr. Zhao, you have too many things to do every day. Of course, you can't take care of all the things like collecting information and materials."

   "Speaking of which, this kind of thing should have been collected and prepared by us, and finally, when you need to refer to it, we should report the information."

   "So, I just did my job well, so I dare not take it as your compliment."

  After Zhang Yufang finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be too modest."

   "In the past two years, our "Xingtai International" has achieved such a rapid development, and you, the CEO, are absolutely indispensable."

  After Zhao Guoyang said that, Zhang Yufang didn’t say anything more, and sat aside with a smile on his face to listen to his speech.

After sighing for a while, Zhao Guoyang seemed to think of something, raised his head and said to Zhang Yufang: "Mr. Zhang, I will ask Director Liang of the SJ Machinery and Electronics Industry Bureau to find out about the situation. If everything goes well, we will talk about the acquisition of the dock later. It's up to you to take care of yourself."

  Zhang Yufang did not refuse at all, and agreed directly.

  The two chatted for a while about work matters, and then Zhang Yufang got up to leave.

  Seeing off this teacher Zhang, Zhao Guoyang raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost four o'clock.

  At this time, Director Liang Xiaofeng should still be in the office and not off work. It is a good time to find him...
