Chapter 981: The Shiji has changed its name

Spain and the African continent are separated by the sea.

When you think of Spain, what are your first impressions?

Ye Qing would first think of Spanish ham, but Ye Qing knew that Spain's economy was not weak. The country is a moderately developed capital industrial country, and its economy is mainly supported by the automobile and shipbuilding industry, the export of agricultural products, and the service industry.

Since the massive expansion of the Behemoth Industries base in Nigaya, Behemoth Industries has made Spain a major importer of building materials.

This country is the closest industrial country to Nigaya.

Just a few days ago, Ye Qing also signed several latest payment documents for building materials.

Among them, the share of concrete imports alone is 110,000 tons, which are shipped in two giant ships.

These concrete are semi-finished products such as crushed stone, fly ash, water reducing powder, fine aggregates, etc., which are transported to Nicasia in bulk ships, and then mixed with water by the construction team themselves.

Ye Qing called to inquire about the location of the giant ship that arrived at concrete, and then learned that the 70,000-ton [Shiji] bulk giant ship had just been loaded from the port of Lisbon yesterday and had been sailing for less than half a day.

The Shiji freighter belongs to a Spanish shipping group called Felis.

The freighter was half-new, and the Skiff had made a total of four trips for Behemoth since it transferred its construction materials orders to Spain.

In less than twenty minutes after Ye Qing called to inquire, this Philis Shipping Group received a strange transoceanic phone call.

The call reached the office of the president of the Philippis Shipping Group, and the middle-aged man with a black and red beard smoked a cigar and shouted in unfamiliar English.

"What?"

"You want to buy one of our freighters?"

"I'm not interested, our Phillis Shipping Group is a chivalrous company, how can we sell the knight's beloved 'war horse'?"

On the other end of the phone, it was the gentle voice of the deputy manager of the purchasing department of Behemoth Industries, "We will give a suitable price, even a slight premium." ”

"Oh?"

There was some surprise on the other end of the phone, "Then we can talk about it." ”

"Is it the Sport that is about to be scrapped, or the Nock that is currently in the shipyard. Aside from these two freighters, you don't want to buy any of the remaining ones from our company. ”

The deputy manager of the purchasing department smiled slightly, "No, it's the [Shiji]." ”

"No way. The bearded president of Spain refused very thoroughly, "The Skiff is our hero, and this freighter has witnessed the rise of our group. You know, man, when I was younger, I was the captain of the Skee, and it was it that gave me a taste of the ocean. ”

"Forty million dollars. ”

"No... Sell. The bearded president, gritting his teeth, emphasized: "No matter what the price, I will not sell, our group is developing in a good way." ”

A 70,000-ton bulk carrier can be sold at a brand new price of between $38 million and $40 million. Made in China is cheaper, and made in Japan and South Korea is slightly more expensive.

But the new ship and the old ship are all the same in the hands of the group that needs it. After selling the old ship, they also have to spend time in the international market to find a cargo ship with similar functions, not to mention wasting time, and delaying the full cargo transportation orders.

"Fifty million!"

"Guy... Man, are you crazy?" the bearded president's tone was full of doubts, "50 million is enough to buy a state-of-the-art freighter, why would you buy the Szeki?"

"The reason is simple, we need a giant ship that happens to be very close to our overseas bases. ”

"I ...... I can sell you, a ninety percent new cargo ship with a cargo capacity of 75,000 tons, which is better than the Shikee. As you know, while the development of our group's maritime transport is important, we value the friendship of our partners even more. ”

The voice of the deputy manager of the purchasing department became firm, "We only need the Shikee." ”

"But... You can wait for four months, after the Shiji finishes transporting this batch of goods, it will have to go south to Madagascar to deliver other customers' manifests. For the next four months, it was busy. We can't cause trouble to customers because of a little profit. ”

"Sixty million dollars. ”

"You...... Is it serious?" The bearded president was silent for a while, and his breathing gradually became heavy.

So you agreed. The full amount of 60 million will be transferred to your group account in one minute. ”

"Today...... Is it April Fool's Day?" the bearded president's tone began to become cautious again, just like the first order he received when his career was just starting.

"We pay in advance, and the ship transfer procedures can be signed after our company personnel arrive. Once you have confirmed receipt of the $60 million, please notify the ship to change course. ”

"We'll send you the course. ”

"In addition, we will arrange for the crew to fly to the Shiji by helicopter to take over the ship's ship management. ”

"This is not in line with the ship transfer process, and we don't even sign a single document now. The bearded president muttered.

"That's why it's worth sixty million, isn't it?"

"Please be kind to my Szeki, I will miss it. ”

The assistant purchasing manager's voice became gentle again, "Okay, we will definitely treat the Shiji well." ”

……

That's right, Behemoth Industries used US dollars to buy a giant ship that helped it transport goods.

This huge bulk ship, which can carry 70,000 tons of cargo, has only one type of cargo in its huge hold.

- Semi-finished concrete products.

Half an hour later, the ship slowly turned its bow and headed for the north of the Atlantic, the Baltic direction.

Following.

Some Behemoth Industry personnel arrived at the office building of the Philippis Shipping Group in Spain on the Peregrine Falcon, which can fly at supersonic speeds, signed the registration change document of the Shiji, and went through the change procedures.

The bearded president was very cooperative and very happy.

That night, two helicopters flew to the deck of the Shiji, and the sailors on the original ship of the Shiji couldn't wait to leave by helicopter after a simple handover with this group of indifferent-looking Huaxia crews.

They were going to the bearded president to claim the bonus.

The next day, the Shiji radioed the only industrial port in Rigavia, 2,000 kilometers away, and applied to go to the port to replenish oil and fresh water.

In addition to the work of transiting goods, the port also plays a role similar to that of a highway service area.

The supply of the giant ship is a sure-fire job, and the final destination declared by the giant ship is Finland. Coupled with the fact that this giant ship has been active on European routes, how can the port of Rigavia refuse it?

No one knows, in the dead of night on the vast sea.

A aircraft with radar stealth and visual stealth functions landed vertically on the deck of the giant ship Shiji.

This aircraft carries a large number of fast-setting plugging agents that are used in special marine operations.

This hydraulic powder can be mixed with concrete, which will expand and solidify rapidly when exposed to water, and reduce the effect of seawater on concrete corrosion.

The monsters, with the help of the processing metal arm of the lord warship, thoroughly dry mixed the entire shipload of semi-finished concrete, mixed it with powder leakage, and mixed it evenly.

In addition to these, two other monsters descended to the side of the hull through ropes, covering the original name of the Shike with paint and replacing it with a new name.

- Immovable as a mountain.

This is the new name that Ye Qing gave to this giant ship.
