"Student Gu, congratulations on your successful admission to Jiaotong University, this is your notice. You can just report in September, and it doesn't matter if you're busy. ”

Two days later, He Lan personally came to the Xijiao Hotel and officially handed over the admission notice issued by the Admissions Office of Jiaotong University to Gu Kun. (The house Gu Kun bought in Jing'an Square is still under renovation and will not be able to live in a few months)

"Classmate Gu?" Gu Kun took the notice, but he didn't react.

He Lan smiled lightly: "What? I can't call you a classmate." We COSCO are a decent company, a bunch of graduates from Jiaotong University and Hujiang Maritime University. ”

Gu Kun: "So, you are actually a graduate of Jiaotong University?"

He Lan: "Isn't it strange? It's just a management major. ”

Gu Kun nodded: "No, anyway, thank you - I've been in Hujiang for a long time, and it's a matter of heart, so I'll see you in three months." ”

Brother hundreds of thousands of people a week, actually took two weeks to negotiate and mediate with the people of the design institute, and by the way to participate in the selection and assessment of Jiaotong University, this thing is quite strange.

He Lan said out of politeness: "Is it because you are busy with business and want to go back to China to deal with it?" ”

Gu Kun laughed at himself: "Don't you know? Before I took the exam, I had already talked to Dean Xu, rented a survey ship from their design institute, and went to Lanfang to survey the hydrology and seabed landform of the waterway around Xingang.

Listen to him, if I measured a lot of data, he could still sell it. This money is not made in vain, maybe I will supervise the work, and everyone is very efficient. ”

He Lan nodded: "Of course I know about this, but you haven't seriously studied marine engineering, so you want to do it yourself? ”

It turned out that Gu Kun had already figured out the rhythm.

As early as the day he agreed to He Lan's persuasion and applied for Jiaotong University, he had already paid Dean Xu and rented a survey boat from the Design Institute of Jiaotong University.

After he had paid the rent, the ship set sail for Lanfang on the same day.

Generally speaking, a sea ship with a cruising speed of 15~20 knots takes seven or eight days from Lanfang to South China, and half a month to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

So counting the days, Gu Kun finished the assessment and went through the formalities to get the admission notice, and the rented survey ship was about to sail to Lanfang.

Gu Kun took a plane to Guangdong and Kuching today, just in time to catch up, and he didn't miss anything at all.

This is worthy of his precious time of hundreds of thousands of weeks.

In addition, the "survey of the hydrology/seabed topography of the waterway around Lanfang" and the design of the supporting dredging and maintenance plan reported by President Xu to Gu Kun at the beginning cost more than 4 million yuan for the design cost.

After Gu Kun decided to do it himself, he only needed to pay 1 million for renting a survey ship, as well as a pure design fee of hundreds of thousands in the future, which could save nearly 3 million.

There is no way, the design institute does this kind of business, and the hardware cost has always accounted for only a quarter.

The remaining half of the designer/surveyor's salary, one or two percent of the financial cost collection risk, and the last quarter of the expected profit.

In this case, Gu Kun himself can minimize the cost of technical personnel and other financial costs.

Moreover, in the process of communicating with Dean Xu in those days, Gu Kun also found out a good news:

China's maritime administrative departments have always been concerned about the seabed topography/hydrological data in the southern part of the South China Sea, and have thought about conducting a comprehensive and systematic survey.

Because these data are also useful in defense engineering. Knowing where the water is deep and where the water is shallow, we can prevent foreign submarines from diving through in a targeted manner, and in the future, we can also compare the terrain and find out when the enemy submarine sinks to the bottom and camouflages.

(When the submarine is floating in the water, it will have obvious echoes when it is irradiated by active sonar, but if it sinks to the bottom, it is not easy to find out when it is illuminated by active sonar, because the sonar does not know whether it is a submarine sinking to the bottom or a reef on the bottom of the sea.)

Only after knowing the submarine topography data in advance, entering it into the sonar computer, and using the principle of "it was originally measured, there was no reef in this coordinate, but now there are more", can the submarine sunk and hide can be found. ）

Therefore, in terms of these data, the relevant departments are still very willing to pay for the big money.

Unfortunately, in the 90s, the Chinese Navy was too weak, and its actual control of the South China Sea only reached the Weisha Islands.

Further south, in the waters of the Shaosha Islands, the fishery administrations of the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and India are actually patrolling. If the Huaxia survey ship goes to those sea areas to operate, it is relatively easy to be driven away.

At this time, friendly foreign ships are easier to handle.

According to the secret words of Dean Xu's friends, some departments are willing to pay two or three million yuan for shipping-grade precision seabed topographic survey data for every 50 times 50 nautical miles of sea area.

Whether it is two million or three million, there is no accurate trust, but Gu Kun should look at the same kind of text, and calculate it according to two million, as long as the other party is willing to wholesale at that time.

Gu Kun has the well-known Lanfang Port project, and he can draw some lines on the nautical chart at any time, such as drawing a straight line from Lanfang to Yalong City in Hailan, connecting to Yuezhou in eastern Guangdong, Xiamen in Hu Jian, and even Manila in the Philippines.

Then, along these "planned routes," a net was cast to survey a bunch of sea areas 50 nautical miles wide and perhaps as far as two or three hundred nautical miles north of Lanfang.

This money is not earned in vain. At that time, the accurate topography of the sea area north of Lanzhou and about two or three hundred nautical miles in diameter in the South China Sea will be measured, and the total price of the data is estimated to be tens of millions.

If he encounters an Indonesian or Vietnamese fishery administration ship patrolling and driving away, he can also confidently say that he is surveying the newly planned international route.

According to the Law of the Sea, it is completely reasonable to survey a new international route from the country, even if it is two or three hundred nautical miles away.

Most small countries don't do this, not because there is anything wrong with international law, but simply because they are too poor to measure such a large area of precise seabed topography.

For small countries, the port channel is a few nautical miles wide and sufficient.

They have no ambitions and no need for military coastal defense. Just counting on spending some money to buy some weapons and equipment from Oceania in normal times, it will be regarded as paying protection money. Once they are bullied, they will wait for the Oceanic countries to drive aircraft carriers to give them after-sales service.

Opportunity, can only be cheap Gu Kun, a prepared person.

……

On the day he got the admission letter, Gu Kun bought a plane ticket to fly from Hujiang to Guangdong. However, there was no flight to Kuching from Yuezhou that day, so he had to wait an extra day.

It's June 20th, and Gu Pan is still living in a small apartment in Kuching, and he is busy preparing for the final exam these days, and he will return to the villa in Lan Fang for the summer vacation after the exam.

Gu Kun happened to be idle, passing through the door without entering, not disturbing his sister's review, and doing his own things wholeheartedly.

Coming out of Kuching Airport, he took a taxi and went straight to the pier, then changed into his own small yacht, let Ko Chien-shiung drive the boat, and after an hour and a half, he returned to Lan Fang Port.

Lanfang Harbor is a big place, and it can't hide the big ship, so the survey ship sent by the Design Institute of Jiaotong University has not arrived, Gu Kun swept around the dock, and it was clear at a glance.

"Why haven't you arrived yet? Forget it, go to Sawuyang and ask first. ”

Gu Kun didn't find it, so he decided to go to see his business partner first and report it by the way.

He went to China this time, before and after more than half a month, although he did not get any real money investment, but those talkative and laughing intentional gains are really a lot, and the contacts he has made are also very rich. Even if Gu Kun didn't take the initiative to report, Sa Wuyang would send someone to find him.

So Gu Kun picked up his Mercedes-Benz in the dock garage, pointed at it from afar, and instructed his subordinates: "Old Gao, do you see the tallest building, send me there." ”

"Yes. Gao Jianxiong did not speak nonsense, and the execution was very simple, and he sent Gu Kun to the bottom of the "luxurious" office building that integrates the J Department of Lanfang, the Ministry of Commerce and the Lanfang Import and Export Company in two minutes.

The front desk and security personnel in the building all knew Gu Kun, so they sent him in without asking, and helped him press the elevator without saying a word.

When Gu Kun came here to talk to Sa Wuyang before, Gao Jianxiong hadn't followed Gu Kun yet, so it was the first time he had come to this kind of place.

"It's actually upstairs in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? These people who do foreign trade are really powerful. However, Gu can always come and go freely, as if he is in a no-man's land, and he is really not an ordinary person. Gao Jianxiong's heart became more and more solemn.

He had seen the majesty of those authorities in China, and he always felt that they were very sacred places. When I arrived in a place like Lanfang, a small country and a widow, and saw the contrast, I naturally had a short-term confusion that was almost a comedy, just like Xu Jinjiang on Blocking God 2.

When he saw Sa Wuyang, the other party was also full of kindness: "Xiao Gu, you are finally back." I really didn't expect you to invite the design institute and the ocean survey ship from Huaxia so quickly. The expansion project of Lanfang Port must be a certainty. ”

Gu Kun smiled casually: "If you don't need to spend a loan from Huaxia Guobank or COSCO to become a shareholder, then of course you can start work at any time, and they support me spiritually." ”

Sa Wuyang: "Don't play with these fictitious things, just tell me which big names you met this time, and what is the highest level of the person you talked to." Forget it, you show me the memo!"

Sa Wuyang didn't want to play Tai Chi anymore and played official articles, so he directly asked Gu Kun for a memo.

A small country is a small country, there is no hypocritical etiquette at all, so straightforward.

Gu Kun could only hand over the memo and explain it with a smile.

Before Sa Wuyang finished reading it, he felt that Gu Kun's ability to do things was too strong, and the progress had exceeded his expectations.

After all, there is a retreat statement by the division-level leader in the memorandum, as well as the speech minutes of the CEO of a company like COSCO, which is already a bombshell when it comes to Lan Fanglai.

"I got the statements of so many leading figures in China, even if the Grand Duke immediately approved the design fee and survey fee, and went out of Caizheng's budget, it is estimated that there will be no problem. ”

In Sa Wuyang's view, the design fee and the survey fee belong to the expenses incurred during the negotiation process, which are different from the construction cost. Therefore, as long as there is a sufficient level of people on the Huaxia side to talk to you, the Lan side should pay this money first to show sincerity.

I'm sure the Grand Duke will feel the same way.

When the time comes, Zhu Jingye will have to pay for this money if he doesn't want to

Gu Kun finally waited for Sa Wuyang to finish speaking, and then seized the opportunity to ask a question: "By the way, you said that the survey ship I invited has arrived, but what about the ship? ”

Sa Wuyang: "The boat, they were more diligent, they arrived the afternoon before yesterday, and then seeing that you didn't come, they went to sea to start work on their own. But it's not far off, and you'll be back in Hong Kong tonight, and they know you're coming. ”
