Technological Hegemony

Chapter 288: Party, all parties react

The party was held in the staff restaurant of Waigaoqiao Group.

The Waigaoqiao Group invited famous chefs to cook excellent Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisines. Except for a light animal like Luo Jia, the taste is impeccable.

There were hundreds of people at the scene, Jiangnan, Hudong, and even Zhoushan, Jinling, the leaders of several major shipyards nearby, as well as the owner of the swallowtail butterfly ship COSCO Shipping, and some local leaders and so on.

What surprised Luo Jia more was Lu Junlin, the personal secretary of the old general in Beijing. He was dressed in casual clothes and stood alone in the corner. No one seemed to know him.

Luo Jia found Lu Junlin and hurried over.

"General Luo, we meet again." Lu Junlin said with a smile.

Luo Jia looked around in surprise. "Yeah, it was really unexpected. I didn't expect you to come."

Lu Junlin shook his head gently. "No need to look for it. The general feels cold, and his health is not good. So he stayed in Jingcheng and sent me to Jiangnan Shipyard to understand the situation."

Luo Jia suddenly looked concerned, straightly saying that the general must take care of his body, and asked Lu Junlin that he had come to Jiangnan Shipyard to understand what happened.

"Of course, the progress of the shipbuilding is rampant." Lu Junlin said, "Waigaoqiao's bulk carrier has already been tested, but ours is still building a segment, but the general will be anxious, so he wants me anyway come and see."

Luo Jia skimmed his lips. Modern large ships were built in sections. The whole ship was divided into many parts and finally shipped to the dock for combined welding.

The aircraft carrier is the pinnacle of shipbuilding technology, and several countries in the world can build it, and it is also a segmented construction method.

"It's useless to be anxious." Luo Jia said. "Battleships and civilian ships have never been a kind of existence. The requirements are too high. How can the construction progress be the same as civilian ships."

Lu Junlin shrugged his shoulders. "Of course I know this, and the general also knows it, but I can't help but worry. After all, we want big ships. We have thought about it for too long."

Secretary Lu came here with people from Jiangnan Heavy Industry. Everyone didn't know him. He thought he was also from Jiangnan, and saw him lively with Luo Jia, so he couldn't help looking at him with curiosity.

Luo Jia simply left the staff restaurant with him and found a quiet corner outside.

Lu Junlin's visit to the capital of Shanghai this time is to see the progress of the shipbuilding and go back to report to the general. There is no such thing. When he comes to Luo Jia, he just chats casually.

After chatting for a while, Lu Junlin left.

Luo Jia didn't stay long, and after a brief explanation with a few responsible persons, she led everyone back to the company.

It was only nine o'clock in the evening. Luo Jia usually went to bed in the middle of the night and got up before dawn. This time was a waste of rest, so he returned to his office and continued to study and work.

As the company grows larger and the front line becomes longer, this forces Luo Jia to work harder to learn and absorb new knowledge.

After midnight, Luo Jia felt a bit hungry, but he didn't want to go to the cafeteria for supper, so he pulled out a box of instant noodles from the food cabinet.

Taking advantage of instant noodles, Luo Jia opened the news website and forum.

Sure enough, the news that the Swallowtail Butterfly sailed successfully took the front page headlines and became the topic that Chinese people are keen to discuss.

The heat is pretty good, second only to the scandal of traffic stars. After all, shipping is far away from everyone's life, and only a few really know it.

Luo Jia went to the Korean forum again, but found that in the Korean marine forum, there was a miserable scene like the end of the world.

According to the information provided by the translation software, the original Ms. Pu Qingzhu of KBS TV rented a fishing boat with a maximum speed of only 26 knots during the live test flight of the Swallowtail Butterfly.

Normally, tracking a bulk carrier at this speed is more than enough.

Who would have thought that the Swallowtail Butterfly had a cruising speed of up to 35 knots, and it turned the KBS TV far away.

This situation has brought a great shock to the Korean people. With the camera lens, they saw the swallowtail butterfly ride the wind and waves, but they could not even catch up, and they were about to commit an awkward cancer.

In contrast, the neon situation is better, after all, the family industry is big, and shipbuilding is the pillar industry of South Korea, but it is the neon sunset industry.

At that time, Neon had made 50% of the ships on the earth, and it was the world's largest powerhouse in shipbuilding.

Later, South Korea and Huaxia slowly snatched their share, and now only 17% are left, so the neon crowd is more experienced in frustration. This is like a gambler who always loses the hand , I'm used to losing.

The shipbuilding industry is the top three of China, Japan and South Korea, but shipping is the world of Europe. Of the world's five largest shipping groups, four are in Europe.

South Korea originally had a Hanjin Shipping Group, which was once a global giant, but unfortunately it has officially declared bankruptcy on February 17, 2017 due to poor management.

At present, there are only two shipping companies with global competitiveness in East Asia. COSCO Shipping and Wanwan High-ranking Shipping Co., Ltd. Although the crafty Europeans have handed over shipbuilding work to China, Japan and South Korea, they firmly hold the lifeblood of global ocean transportation.

"Damn Chinese, how can they do that?"

"All-electricity pushes ships not to sell? Do they want to eat the global shipping market alone?"

"This trick is too harsh. The Baltic Dry Bulk Index has plummeted today! European shipping stocks have begun to crash!"

"It was a car first, now it is shipping. What exactly does Star Technology do !?"

"Why doesn't the European Parliament fight back !?"

"Huaxia ships should be banned from entering Europe!"

In the European forum, the news that Xingchen Technology refused to sell electric propulsion technology to Maersk spread wildly, causing a stir.

The German picture newspaper published an article on the front page, stating that the test flight of the Swallowtail Butterfly was as significant as Columbus's discovery of the new continent, and would completely change the history of human shipping.

The picture newspaper believes that it is totally unrealistic to ban Huaxia ships from entering Europe. One-fifth of the freight ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ is two or three times the speed, which is the temptation that all companies cannot resist.

If Huaxia Shipping Co. is not used, logistics costs will increase. This is like a carriage and a car. The two cannot be called competition, but a complete generation difference.

British media such as the Times and the London Financial Times welcomed Star Technology's electric ships with both hands. Anyway, there is no shipbuilding or shipping in the UK, which can reduce the freight rate.

In fact, as long as you look at reports from European media, you will find that they are not monolithic.

The Danish, French, and Swiss media, which have large shipping companies, almost want to kill Star Technology alive.

And countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and Spain, which have little shipping business, think that electric ships are acceptable, as long as the freight is cheaper.

"The world is full of benefits, the world is full of benefits." Luo Jia muttered while eating instant noodles. "Or our ancestors are terrific. They have thoroughly seen the world. After all, things in the world It's nothing more than an interest. "Remember this site's website, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu, you can enter this site
