Chapter 21 Preparing to Go Abroad

Sunday, 9 June 1996.

Two days ago, the teachers of the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering of Jiaotong University organized an early final exam for Gu Kun alone, so as to send him to finish the exam early and go to Oceania to prepare for the Atlanta Olympics in more than a month.

The paper for the final exam was actually not released separately, and the one Gu Kun took was what his classmates were going to take in half a month. Anyway, the final exams in college don't have to be particularly rigorous, which is no better than the college entrance examination, and no one bothers to cheat.

After the exam, Gu Kun flew back to Lanfang overnight, and he needed to inspect his career one last time before going to Oceania.

On the dock of the maintenance dock of Lanfang Harbor, a huge unfinished mothership has been moored there. The welding arc is splashing, the forging hammer is roaring, and the modification work is in full swing.

Although the "Isakov" and the "Kharkiv" are in the pre-Lucian era, the class code name is not much different - the latter is called the Project 1143 mothership, and the former is called the Type 1143.5, it seems that the former is just an improved version of the latter.

However, after seeing the real thing, everyone will fully realize that the actual value of these two things is still far from the same.

The standard displacement of the Kharkiv is only 32,000 tons, and it can reach 41,000 tons when fully loaded. The "Isakov" has a standard displacement of 45,000 tons, and the full load displacement can reach 60,000 tons.

This is directly a full 50% larger tonnage. Moreover, the capacity of carrier-based aircraft has also increased from 30 to more than 50, and one can almost withstand two old cargo ships.

The quality of the models is also completely different, the old can only use the Yak-38 class light single-engine fighters, but the new goods can use the new twin-engine heavy fighters developed in the seventies and eighties.

The huge difference in performance made Gu Kun feel that it was completely worth it to take the "Kharkiv" as a cover first and lose an additional $5 million to sell scrap iron. Because of the new chips, he can get more long-term benefits.

In order to refit the "Isakov" as a betting ship, a large number of new constructions were also carried out in the port of Lanfang:

Previously, there was only a 40,000-ton wet dock for maintenance in Lanfang Port, which was built when the "Kharkiv" was repaired before, with a cumulative investment of more than 100 million yuan.

This year, another 60,000-ton new maintenance wet dock was built, with a total investment of 240 million yuan.

The layman may think that this is a bit expensive, but the market is like this - conventionally, a wet dock that can only be repaired is at least five times more expensive than a pure berth. If you can build a dry dock from scratch, it will be five to ten times more expensive than a wet dock.

There are 20 or 30 million wharves to stop ships, 100 million or 200 million yuan to build a ship of the same size, and 1 billion yuan to build a shipyard of the same size.

Because when the port construction investment was made with COSCO before, COSCO held 51% of the shares, so these two docks were also invested by COSCO and Gu Kun as part of the assets of the port authority.

COSCO spent a total of 180 million yuan.

The royal family and Sa Wuyang on Lan Fang's side should have contributed 120 million and Gu Kun 50 million.

However, the royal family is not very interested in these projects with too much money, because the royal family did not contribute any money at all in terms of port shares, and they used state-owned land to contribute, and they did not have the consciousness to come up with a large amount of cash at all.

So in the end, the royal family only paid 80 million this time, and the remaining 90 million was invested by Gu Kun.

Of course, Gu Kun's money is definitely not in vain, and after he invests more, he will bless the proportion of shares in Lanfang Port. Therefore, the final shareholding ratio of the three parties has been fine-tuned as follows:

The original "51%:39%:10%" of "Zhong: Lan: Gu" has been adjusted to "51%:31%:18%".

(Previously, the total share capital of Lanfang Port was 300 million 500 yuan, and the fixed assets doubled after the construction of two new docks.) Therefore, Gu Kun is a total of 3,5+9,000, and 1025 accounts for 18% of the total share capital of 700 million. You don't have to do the math again, I can't be wrong)

......

"It is expected that the ship will not be able to complete the conversion of the cabins until the end of the year, and with the smell of decoration, it will basically not open until this time next year. ”

After Gu Kun inspected the maintenance dock, a chief engineer sent by Huaxia in charge of the maintenance project came to report the progress to the boss.

"Luo Gong has worked hard, and if there are any difficulties in life in terms of treatment, you can find me at any time, or find Xiao Tang. "Gu Kun was very polite and polite.

The chief engineer's name is Luo Zhengang, an old man in his 50s, because the engineers in the shipyard often have to be exposed to high-density electric welding environments, which is harmful to health, so he retired early before the age of 60.

The other party just came here last month, Gu Kun chatted with him a few times, and learned that the other party worked in Jiangnan Shipyard before retirement, and he was right under the nose of COSCO East China Branch, so this time he was introduced by COSCO people to Lanfang to exert his residual heat.

Gu Kun also learned that this old man is also his alumnus, he is an older generation of college students who entered Hujiang Jiaotong University in the 60s before ten years can not be described, that is, he studied ship and ocean engineering, and after graduating from Jiaotong University in 66, he entered the Jiangnan Shipyard and worked there for 30 years.

Therefore, when Luo Zhengang chatted with Gu Kun, he also felt a kind of alumni kindness: "Boss Gu is welcome, I have built a ship all my life and learned to build a ship, and today is the first time I have been able to renovate this kind ......of ship, and it is not in vain that I will retire early for it."

"Ahem...... I didn't hear anything, you seem to have a physical cause, the welding environment is harmful to your health, and you retired early. Actually, I should have found enough ship repair engineers locally in Lanfang or Malaysia.

I only hate Lan Fangguo's weak strength, not to mention that not a single ship engineer can't be found, and he can't even get enough ship welders, so he can only hire you all the way to work hard. Gu Kun pretended not to hear those inappropriate words.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, I retired early for health reasons. Luo Zhengang secretly regretted that his quality of confidential work was still not good enough, and he still didn't adapt to it after changing roles. Sure enough, a lifelong science and engineering man still has to add the learning of dealing with people.

It's really old to live and learn.

Gu Kun was afraid that something would happen here after he left, so he finally confirmed: "In terms of drawings, these are enough, right? We are operating according to the rules, and we only asked the people of Hekeland for the drawings needed for structural modification, and the others are exempt from respect." ”

The so-called "Gu Kun didn't ask the Heklan people for drawings" before, of course, only meant that he didn't ask for all the drawings.

Because of those detailed drawings for military use, it's useless for him to come, and he definitely won't cause this trouble himself.

However, the structural design drawings of the ship at the mechanical level should still be required. If not, it is not convenient to transform into a gambling boat, and it is time-consuming and laborious to re-map each size, which is not a superfluous move.

Gu Kun obviously saw a trace of resentment in Luo Zhengang's eyes, but the other party could only answer him: "The drawings are enough, they are enough, and the size and details are all known, which is to save time in surveying and mapping." ”

"That's good, I'll go to Oceania in a few days, I'm going to be closed for a while, and I'll talk about it when I come back if I have any problems, I can only find Xiao Tang during this period." Gu Kun completely blocked his words.
