After arranging some matters at the Berlin Consumer Electronics Show and the Frankfurt Motor Show, Bao Zixuan returned to Xiangjiang. Huaxia has officially designated Shenhai City as a special economic zone, and Fok Yingdong organized a group of Xiangjiang businessmen to support the market in response to the needs of the state. Let's see if we can invest in building a factory in the deep sea, and consider the country at this moment. In many cases, he used his influence to bring Xiangjiang businessmen to invest in the mainland, and he also invested in the construction of many large-scale projects.

After Bao Zixuan returned to Xiangjiang, he just rested at home for a day, and came to Huo Mansion early in the morning. Where many Xiangjiang tycoons had already arrived in advance, and when they saw Bao Zixuan coming, everyone greeted him.

Dong Haoyun: "Xiaobao, I haven't seen you for a few months, but it's getting bigger and bigger, not long after the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, two car brands were acquired in the United States, and the sales at the exhibition reached more than 1 billion US dollars. You've made more money in the past two years than we have in 20 years. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Dong Lao laughed, it was just a fluke." I still have a long way to go compared to my predecessors, but Dong Lao has not seen you for a few months, and your complexion has improved a lot, is there any happy event. ”

Dong Haoyun: "I still know me, I just started the world's largest displacement oil tanker, and after completion, it will definitely make the Dong family's shipping business to a higher level." ”

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan knows that sometimes history is really difficult to change. Because of the foundation of cooperation with Heiyun, Dong Haoyun's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, "He strives for the first place in the world in everything." At that time, he wanted 80,000 tons for the largest oil tanker of 60,000 tons, and 120,000 tons for others. Since 1967, Dong Haoyun has successively ordered three batches of extremely large oil tankers (VLCCs) with a deadweight of more than 220,000 tons to RB Sasebo Shipyard and several other shipyards, with 6 ships in each batch, a total of 18 ships. The first two batches of 220,000 tons were already very large oil tankers (VLCCs), and the third batch has entered the stage of ultra-large oil tankers (ULCCs) of more than 300,000 tons each. In this way, 18 extremely large oil tankers are enough to form a giant fleet. Such a great spirit is really as majestic as a cloud, and it is dazzling to the world!

Dong Haoyun did not stop, and later bought 360,000 tons of "Brazilian Glory" and 380,000 tons of "Brazil Vision". But that's not the climax of the story.

In 1976, a Greek shipowner ordered a 420,000-dwt tanker at RB Sumitomo Heavy Industries' Oihama Shipyard in Yokosuka. But man is not as good as heaven, and before the tanker was finished, the Greek went bankrupt. In 1979, the oil tanker fell into the hands of Dong Haoyun.

But Dong Haoyun still thinks it's not big enough. He is determined to be the number one in the world, even if it is only a little bigger. So he handed over this topic to Chief Engineer Huang Cifa. After careful design and calculation, Huang Cifa came up with a grafting: cut the middle of the 420,000-ton ship and add a section. This addition added 140,000 tons, and became the "Sea Giant" with 564,76 3 dwt.

On December 19, 1980, the "Sea Giant" was successfully launched, causing a sensation in RB and the world. It deserves to be the largest ship in the world, and is more than 120 meters longer and eight times heavier than the world's largest aircraft carrier, the US Navy's Nimitz-class aircraft carrier! The development of oil tankers into "sea giants" can be described as reaching the pinnacle and unprecedented, and there is no other such thing so far! The "sea giants" are mankind's greatest masterpieces on the sea, and the galloping track behind it reminds people of mankind's greatest masterpiece on land -- the Great Wall of China!

"Sea Giant" also marks the peak of Dong Haoyun's shipping career. From a 16-year-old boy who entered the shipping industry in 1928, to decades of turbulent seas, he finally assembled a powerful fleet of 150 ships and more than 11 million gross tons - more than double the Greek ship king Onassis. He and another Ningbo native Bao Yugang, like twin peaks inserting clouds, ascended to the throne of "World Ship King"!

But now I don't know how to persuade Dong Haoyun, the Sea Giant is the peak of the Dong family's career, and it is also the source of almost bankruptcy. As the oil crisis intensified, it brought with it a shipping crisis. The Dong family almost went bankrupt because of this, but fortunately, the two sons are very capable, and Dong Haoyun had a lot of friends before his death, and everyone helped at the critical moment! It seems that the time can only give some money to help the Dong family tide over the difficulties, but it should still be reminded.

Bao Zixuan: "Old Dong, the current oil market is very unstable. There may not be a need for too many tankers in the future, and I think it would be better to buy more tankers. ”

Dong Haoyun is now bent on surpassing Bao Yugang to become the world's No. 1 ship king, but Bao Xuan's words are still a little listened to. Knowing that things must be reversed, and too many oil tankers is really not a good thing. It seems that some oil tanker procurement contracts will be reduced in the future, which is also to help the Dong family in disguise!

Huo Yingdong came over and said, "Xiao Baosheng, we are ready, just waiting for you." But this time, you have set an example for the merchants of Hong Kong, and even the American car brands have been bought by you. This has greatly increased the morale of our Xiangjiang businessmen. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Huo Lao has won awards, these are a little insignificant compared to your previous feats." ”

Huo Yingdong: "Okay, what other feats do I have now, those are all in the past." This time I called you back because I wanted to go to the deep sea together, and a new industrial zone was built in Shekou country. Hong Kong businessmen are very welcome to invest, and I will go over tomorrow to see how it goes. In addition, your car pass has been processed for you, and you can drive directly there. ”

Bao Zixuan knew that except for the roads of a few special cities on the mainland, it was not easy to walk anywhere else at all. So when he decided to go to the deep sea, he talked to Huo Yingdong about his concerns, and wanted to drive the Black Cloud Knight XV over. Otherwise, you may suffer many sins!

However, after Huo Yingdong finished talking to the leaders of Shenhai City about Bao Zixuan's request, they didn't dare to make decisions at all. After all, there is no precedent before. Not only did Shenhai City not dare to make a decision, but it also did not dare to make a claim when it was reported to Nanyue Province. In the end, it was only after the special approval at the highest level that there was a precedent for this direct drive.

After all, everything now has to cross the river by feeling the stones, and many things and policies have to be changed and tilted accordingly. This is Huo Yingdong's application, and it is Bao Zixuan's car, otherwise it would not be possible.

In the words of the highest level: "You don't even let people come to your family with a car, why would people invest a lot of money in you." Why should I believe in you, what can be done in a special way? ”

It's just that Bao Zixuan didn't know, and he didn't expect things to be so troublesome. After all, in the previous life, there were many license plates in Xiangjiang and Shenhai, and a large number of vehicles traveled back and forth between the two places every day.

Bao Zixuan: "Huo Lao, who will we go over tomorrow." ”

Huo Yingdong: "You, me, Dong Sheng and Bao Sheng. The four of us went over to explore the way first. Other people still have to look at the situation, and besides, there are too many people to go to Deep Sea City, and the infrastructure over there is not very good now, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”

But we can only go over, the bodyguards and entourage are waiting for us at the port, I hope you understand.

Bao Zixuan: "I don't have a problem, but now it seems that I can only drive the three of you, and I will wait for you at the port at what time." ”

Huo Yingdong: "We're old, and besides, you can't drive that car for ordinary people." Gather at Luohu Port at 10 o'clock in the morning tomorrow. When the time comes, we'll take your car and go straight there. ”

Bao Zixuan: "No problem, but my car costs a lot of fuel, and there is a diesel supply in Shenhai City! And how can we exchange Huaxia currency, after all, the mainland is not financially rich now, and no one can afford to pay for us, which is also a big expense." ”

Huo Yingdong didn't expect Bao Zixuan to think about it in such detail, it seems that this young man still makes sense to make a fortune. Intelligent, bold, and careful, he has all the ingredients to become a big entrepreneur.

Huo Yingdong: "There is still diesel, you don't need to bring Huaxia coins, I will treat you with all the costs." You can bring some dollars with you, and the deep sea can also be exchanged for use. ”

After Huo Fu confirmed the details of going to the deep sea, Bao Zixuan returned home. He also has to take a good rest, after all, he will be driving for the three tycoons tomorrow, and he can't afford to be sloppy.
