Heron City.

A Sukhoi Super 100 plane was getting lower and lower in the sky, getting bigger and bigger, and the shadows and huge roars of the fuselage made some people subconsciously glance at the sky. However, for those who live in the vicinity of Takasaki, they are already accustomed to planes flying overhead, and apart from some surprises, the size of the planes does not feel much of a reaction.

It's more common and less strange.

Soon, the plane slowly landed on the runway of Takasaki International Airport. An Hui Haoji, who had been waiting at the airport for a long time, looked at the time in his hand and hurriedly greeted him.

The plane gradually came to a standstill.

When the cabin door opened, Shen Jiannan walked out of the cabin and stood on the suspension ladder and stretched out.

"Akiyama-kun has worked hard all the way!"

Isn't it, this back and forth journey is bumpy and crackling, and it is really tiring.

But there is no need to tell An Huihao Er about these things, Shen Jiannan called someone to stay and take care of Lu Xinyue and Shen Yimei, who were still resting, and greeted An Huihao Er.

"An Huisang has been working hard a lot recently, so you have to pay more attention to your body!"

Ahn Hye Koji's eyes are bloodshot, his sideburns seem to have a lot of gray hair compared to before, his face is a little haggard, and he looks like he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.

But this guy, when he heard Shen Jiannan's words, he suddenly felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and his spirit suddenly rose.

"Thank you Akiyama-kun for your concern, it's not hard. I already had a thorough understanding of the organizational framework of the Egret Island shipyard, whether it was the location, the staffing or the site planning, which was very suitable for our requirements......"

Southeast Province is located in the coastal area, with the topography of "eight mountains, one water and one field", the rivers are short, the plains are scarce, the mountainous area accounts for about 90 percent of the total land area, and the remaining arable land is red soil and red soil that are not suitable for planting crops.

Since ancient times, the agricultural development of the area here has been unfavorable, the economy has been backward, and for a long period of time, the local area is very poor and dilapidated, and many people live a life of starvation.

But as the saying goes, God closes a door, will open another window, the long and narrow coastline makes the sea traffic here convenient, extending in all directions, so there are many people in the case of unfavorable local development, choose to pack their bags and go to the South Seas to find a way out.

However, in ancient times, there was no developed navigation technology, and it was a very risky thing to want to cross the sea to make a living elsewhere.

Culture is always inherited and brilliant in life.

By the middle of the Song Dynasty, generation after generation of people worked hard at sea to develop large ships that could resist the huge waves of the sea.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, as the eunuchs of the Three Treasures built ships in the southeast and went to the South Seas to show off their might, the Chinese shipbuilding industry also rose and developed rapidly in the developed maritime trade.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong built ironclad ships with cannons here, and with the help of his younger brother Shichizaemon Tagawa, he crossed east to Taiwan to fight against the Dutch colonists.

By the Qing Dynasty, especially after the opening of the Five Ports of Commerce, the shipbuilding industry flourished with the active fishing industry and the needs of economic development.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the Qing government's inability to resist foreign invasion, it had to open the two sides of the coast for trade, and the British took a fancy to the geographical location of Lucheng, and established a new Ludao shipyard here in 1858, creating the first steel freighter in modern times.

It has the first 1,000-ton granite dry dock in China, and it is one of the birthplaces of modern industry in China.

The British writer Martin once called it "the first seedling of the Chinese machinery industry".

In 1983, Ludao Shipyard took the lead in moving from the military market to the international ship market, and produced the first batch of various ships and freighters exported to Hong Kong and Peru.

It can be said that due to its special geographical location, Ludao Shipyard has witnessed many firsts in Huaguo's shipbuilding industry.

Ludao Shipyard, in the precipitation of history, after several mergers and gradually abandon the technology of the eliminated military vessels to focus on maritime trade bulk carriers, relying on overseas export orders and maritime trade ship orders, once Ludao heavy industry tax first.

But no matter how glorious the history is, it can't stand the wash of time.

With the withdrawal of coalition forces from Iraq at the end of the Gulf War, various oil-producing countries in the Middle East increased the supply of crude oil, and the frenzied production and supply sharply hit the price of crude oil in just one year, and crude oil began to soar out of the plummeting mode, falling from a maximum of $22 a barrel to $11 a barrel.

Coupled with the economic turmoil in Asia caused by the bursting of the economic bubble and the expansion of oil companies' production capacity due to the breakup of the Soviet Union, crude oil is like a waterfall, and no one can guess how far it will fall.

Prices are falling, and no one can make money.

Under the economic transmission mechanism, the freight rates of bulk carriers and large freighters plummeted in tandem, and the Baltic Index also fell by 60%.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

The European currency crisis has led to economic turmoil in Europe, with a sharp decline in car sales and industrial equipment sales, and a huge industrial crisis in all walks of life.

Bulk resources such as copper ore and iron ore have also fallen by almost half.

This fall is a problem.

Two years ago, the Ludao Shipyard undertook 13 5,000-ton bulk carriers of the Anglo-American United Mining Group.

Value, $180 million.

But when it was completed and delivered half a year ago, the owner of the British and American joint ship chose to abandon the ship and breach the contract.

Because, in accordance with industry rules, the construction of ships generally collects a 20% deposit in advance, but due to the collapse of commodity prices in the international market and the rapid reduction of freight costs, the price of finished ships has also fallen simultaneously.

So low that if you follow the market price, you only need 50% of the original to order another ship.

In the original capacity expansion, in the price crash, the British and American United can only choose to stop work to reduce input costs, and there is no need to add new ships for transportation.

In other words, if the shipowner buys a pre-customized ship at the original price, it will directly incur a loss of 30%, and the ship obtained will not be used for any purpose

Therefore, Anglo-American United Mining Company chose to abandon the ship.

This abandonment of the ship is a huge nightmare for the Egret Island shipyard.

Like most companies, the Egret Island shipyard built the thirteen bulk carriers, with most of the money being borrowed from banks.

As soon as the shipowner abandons the ship, it is equivalent to all these freights falling into the hands of the shipyard itself.

Coupled with the continued downturn in the shipping market, even after another half a year, the Egret Island Shipyard has not sold these ships.

If you can't sell the ship, you can't exchange it for bank money.

Insolvent, the Egret Island shipyard had only one way to go.

Waiting for bankruptcy.

But for Daiichi Kogyo Co., Ltd., the meaning is completely different.

Dai-ichi Kogyo Co., Ltd. has cooperated with Kawasaki for many years, and has been much ahead of the Sagishima Shipyard in the manufacture of shipbuilding facilities, and has acquired the Baltic Shipyard, so that with the technology that Daiichi Kogyo Co., Ltd. has mastered, it is completely possible to build a new shipbuilding industry.

In order to choose an excellent site, An Hui Koji ran around the coast of China for I don't know how many times, and when he heard about the preparations of the Ludao Shipyard, he didn't sleep well for several nights in excitement.

It's like someone giving you a pillow when you're sleepy.

There is a perfect site, complete dock supporting facilities, and even materials and workers, everything is not lacking.

As long as you invest a certain amount of money, you can get back to life.

"I have been to the factory before, there are three docks in the factory, which can fully meet our needs, and most of the workers are young adults under the age of 40, willing to endure hardships and work hard, although the level of education is generally not high, but it can fully meet our needs for ordinary workers. ”

"Also, the labor cost here is so low. I really can't imagine that a five-year-old welder has a salary of only 600 yuan. ”

“......”

"I've seen their leaders, and I've found out that they've taken this shipyard as a burden and can't wait to throw it away. ”

“......”

"The general budget engineer has calculated that we will only need to invest a maximum of 15 million dollars to revitalize this shipyard. ”

“......”

Shen Jiannan didn't know whether he should snicker or be helpless.

The price of crude oil cannot fall so much, and it is obvious that An Hui Koji also knows this.

Non-renewable resources, after all, there is a limit to the decline, and when the market price recovers, the dozen or so ships of the Ludao shipyard may be able to make a tenfold profit.

It's a super big bargain.

The current Egret Island Shipyard is only lacking money.

can stump a hero for a penny...... The dozen or so ships alone are worth more than $100 million, but now they can only be sold as scrap.

These guys are really losers.

"What does Heron Island say. ”

"Of course, they want us to accept it as soon as possible, and now it's up to the adults to see what they mean. ”

"This is not in a hurry, you can continue to hang them, but don't agree, don't agree. ”

"My lord, the Egret Island shipyard was really perfect for our requirements......"

"I'll take you to meet someone tomorrow, and you'll understand. ”
