Chapter 207: IQ Tax (18)

In the 80s, Hong Kong's shipbuilding industry was quite developed, let alone the future republic, and even South Korea and Singapore at this moment did not dare to say that they were firmly superior to Hong Kong in the shipbuilding industry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, there were more than 300 shipbuilding repair and shipbuilding enterprises in Hong Kong, and the manufacturing standards of tugboats and barges were also first-class in the world, with a large number of outstanding talents in shipbuilding, electromechanical, steel structure, shipping and other fields.

However, compared with the land, policies, funds and other preferential treatment provided by the Singapore and South Korean governments for shipbuilding enterprises, due to the intention of the British government in Hong Kong to de-industrialize and Hong Kong's financial real estate industry occupies most of the resources, Hong Kong's shipbuilding industry at this time can be said to be shivering in the cold wind.

In fact, without Liang Yuan's intervention, in the tide of corporate relocation set off by Jardine Matheson in the 90s, Hong Kong's shipbuilding industry had the most thorough transfer of personnel and funds, some of which went north to the mainland, and the rest either went to Singapore and South Korea, or changed careers or went bankrupt.

In the future, Singapore's highly developed offshore engineering equipment manufacturing capacity can be said to rise to a considerable extent from the bones of Hong Kong's shipbuilding industry.

After Liang Yuan's acquisition of Jardine Matheson, although Jardine Matheson Matheson Hong Kong business does not have a large shipyard, Jardine Marine, a subsidiary of Jardine Pacific, is a well-known shipping service company in Hong Kong, and the relationship with Hong Kong's shipbuilding industry is quite close.

Because of the collision into the turbine industry, Liang Yuan has been pondering the marine problem for a long time, if it were not for the unexpected episode of the F14 fighter entering China, someone would have mobilized resources to enter the shipbuilding and marine equipment industry.

Around the industrial chain of ocean drilling platform - oil, gas and electric power, whether it is gas turbines, electronic technology, steel chemical industry, there are simply too many things that can be done, it can be said that this industrial chain is the foundation of Yuanjia in the future, and several core laboratories currently owned by Yuanjia are fundamentally for the service of this industrial chain.

If science and technology are the cornerstone of the continuous development and progress of human society, then science and technology itself can be summarized as an epic of continuous discovery of energy and better use of energy.

Around the center of energy, mankind has invented countless schools of thought and fought countless wars since ancient times, and finally condensed into a shining light of civilization in the long river of time.

This time, Liang Yuan spent energy to risk becoming a traitor and Ning Lei to promote his IQ tax plan, in addition to reducing the threat level that Wutongwan County will face in the future, it is also important to lay the foundation for Yuanjia to enter the shipbuilding and offshore industry.

For example, the Type 056 frigate that someone has been planning for a long time, and then this opportunity to hook up with the French government, referring to the design of the Lafayette-class, is a high probability of happening.

In front of Tang Wan and Ning Lei, Liang Yuan didn't hide anything, and understood his intention to enter the shipbuilding industry on the table.

"According to the resolution made at the Yuanjia Conference, entering the Hong Kong energy market is a necessary step for the Group after the acquisition of Jardine Matheson, which has a crucial impact on the completion of the Group's industrial chain. ”

"Although Jardine Matheson abandoned the traditional shipbuilding industry in Hong Kong in the 60s and turned its attention to Hong Kong's air cargo business, Jardine Matheson has had a deep connection with Hong Kong's shipbuilding industry since the opening of Hong Kong. ”

"Military aside, Hong Kong's strength in civilian ship construction, marine machinery and other aspects is also a first-class level in Asia, but the British government in Hong Kong has a lot of restrictions on Hong Kong's shipbuilding industry, and many Hong Kong shipbuilding companies are planning to move to Singapore or switch to South Korea. ”

"What does Xiaoyuan mean, the new multi-purpose aircraft carrier can't be built by the new shipyard you haven't established yet?"

Ning Lei looked at Liang Yuan with some surprise.

If Liang Yuan hadn't mentioned this, a room full of people would have scoffed, the aircraft carrier is not a tin ship docked in the South Lake, that thing is definitely the top pearl of the shipbuilding industry.

"Uncle Ning, even if I solve the financial and technical problems overseas, this thing can only be built in China, otherwise the ship will be detained locally by a decree of others, then it will be called wronged, and there will be no place to reason. ”

Liang Yuan didn't want to put his fate on the French festival, in terms of the construction cycle of the aircraft carrier, the polar bear was likely to die at that time, in case the French at that time could not withstand the pressure of the Americans, and did something similar to the resale of the Mistral amphibious assault ship in later generations, Liang Yuan could not afford to waste time.

"Now the country's status in the international community, Uncle Ning should also know that many international technology procurement or exchange work is still in a state of recovery or uncertainty, even if it is built in China, it is impossible to build under the banner of aircraft carriers. ”

"If Xiaoyuan gets the French, what method do you plan to use to introduce relevant technology?"

Xiong Weixin asked curiously.

"An all-deck large maritime search and rescue vessel that can take off and land multiple helicopters, mainly used for large-scale island disaster relief, large-scale shipwreck rescue, and some anti-piracy and anti-smuggling functions. ”

"For example, carrying the Chinese People's Liberation Army to a certain island for disaster relief, by the way, cracking down on some stubborn elements who took advantage of fire to rob and resist disaster relief is the main task of the new ship. ”

Liang Yuan said righteously.

Of course, sinking others first, and then carrying out large-scale shipwreck rescue work is also one of the main tasks of this ship.

"Xiaoyuan, you are so shameless. ”

Looking at someone's upright face, Ning Wanfei couldn't help it.

"Uncle Wilson, think about it, it doesn't need to be built in the name of an aircraft carrier, and Uncle Wilson also has a reason to fight with the above, isn't it, it's hard to fool the navy over, and the new ship is really likely to be included in the establishment of national security. ”

In the 80s and 90s, the smuggling work of the Republic was also within the scope of Guoan's business, and the aircraft carrier was used to intercept smuggling, and there was no one on this planet.

"What I said to you today is the truth from the bottom of my heart, as for how you two convey it to the top, how much to convey is not up to the two of you to say, if you two don't mention it, let alone the international community, even if there are a few people in China who can really know the true face of this large shipwrecked rescue ship. ”

During World War II, the Allies changed countless merchant ships to serve as aircraft carriers, and the Republic was not allowed to follow suit, Liang Yuan fooled the two Communist Party members with his mouth full of trains.

After more than half a year of engaging in intelligence, Xiong Weixin's brain has been much more active, and the unfinished meaning of Liang Yuan's words is understood in a blink of an eye, and there are very few people who are destined to know the truth about the IQ tax, after all, it is the direction of the Republic's diplomatic efforts to try to dispel the idea of the French selling arms to Taiwan.

Liang Yuan's plan is only a remedy after the failure of diplomatic efforts and the completion of the plan, and the state will not give Liang Yuan any resources or the slightest promise to help run the matter except with prior knowledge.

This also means that Liang Yuan's seemingly ridiculous suggestion is actually very operational, if the French government does not insist on going its own way, but chooses to carefully consider Sino-French relations, then everything Liang Yuan said at the moment is likely not to happen, if things really reach the worst point, when the ship is built and put into service, raw rice has become cooked rice, and what to use is not a matter of high-level words.

"Xiaoyuan, how big is your anti-smuggling ship, and what kind of armament do you plan to carry?"

After listening to Liang Yuan's suggestion, Xiong Weixin's heart itched, seeing that he had no hope of restoring his military status, Xiong Weixin devoted all his energy to the construction of national security, and planned to spend ten years in Xiong Weixin's plan to build Guoan into a top intelligence organization that can wrestle with the CIA in Southeast Asia.

Ning Lei listened to Xiong Weixin's words and distorted the central idea, and even came up with the title of anti-smuggling ship, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to correct Xiong Weixin's erroneous cognition.

"Wilson, Xiaoyuan is unreliable, how can you join in the fun, how can you use an aircraft carrier as an anti-smuggling ship. ”

Xiaoyuan also said, whether this thing can be done or not is not nailed, the most important thing is to be prepared, even if you don't notify the navy for the time being, it's not a big deal, and the commander of the F14 fighter is not nothing. ”

"Xiaoyuan wants to start shipbuilding in China, how can you hide it from the navy, Weixin, I think you are purely motivated by interests. ”

"Jardine Matheson found a joint venture with a shipyard with a good foundation near the Special Economic Zone, and then Uncle Wilson and Uncle Ning joined forces to manage the military on the spot, and it is really possible to fool the navy over.

Liang Yuan knew that it was impossible to leave the navy aside, and a ship of tens of thousands of tons was not something that could be driven by just a few people, and he didn't mind following Xiong Weixin's words.

Ning Lei glared at Liang Yuan, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said, "Tell Uncle Ning about the quality of the multi-purpose aircraft carrier in Xiaoyuan's eyes." ”

Liang Yuan stretched out three fingers and shook them and said with a smile: "The whole ship is fully loaded with more than 30,000 tons, with a sliding take-off deck similar to the British Invincible class, which can dispatch six medium-sized helicopters or four F14 fighters to carry out shipwreck search and rescue work, and at the same time carry two large hovercraft or four standard landing craft, and can carry a battalion of personnel carrying full professional disaster relief equipment for island disaster relief work. The short-range point-to-point air defense capability is expected to be equipped with eight ED125 gas turbine units produced by Brilliance Power, 130,000 horsepower twin-shaft propellers, driven by a combined combustion and combustion mode, with a maximum speed of more than 25 knots. ”

In Liang Yuan's plan, it is a victory to be able to get the design ideas, special steel, formation operation, and transmission mechanism of aircraft carriers from France, and the radar technology can be done at hand, and if the cost is too great, it will wait to eat the polar bear's self-research, as for the ship's air defense and ship power, these two major pieces must be the work of the 1000 institutes established with several major laboratories of Yuanjia as the core.
