Chapter 214: Friendship from Bengal
In this way, the Xiangxi plant and the Chuandong plant became the military industry department under Endeavor Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
In order to get these two enterprises out of the predicament as soon as possible and turn losses into profits, Meng Jianye, who is familiar with the ship business and has experience in military ship sales, was appointed by the board of directors of Endeavor Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. as the person in charge of the Ministry of Military Industry to handle the affairs of the two factories.
So Meng Changzhu, who likes to eat seafood, ran to the mountains between Xiangxi and eastern Sichuan with his luggage and ate spicy fragrant pot.
Of course, in addition to eating, there is no ambiguity about the two companies Meng Jianye, first of all, let the two factories stop being hungry, Xiangxi factory is okay, after all, there is a great potential for civilian use in terms of instruments and instruments, and the whole step meter in South Korea is really not on the table, Meng Jianye simply handed over the whole step instrument to the Xiangxi factory.
At the same time, the Xiangxi plant was renovated and upgraded by using the technical quality standard model obtained from the Japanese partner, and after a lot of operation, the Xiangxi plant has already taken on a new look.
The difficulty lies in the Chuandong plant, which produces submarines, which is also a shipyard, but because of the inland, many large parts cannot be transported, not to mention, the limitations of the river beach are also quite large, because of this, even if the Endeavor factory has a ship order, the Chuandong plant cannot accept it.
So these days, the Chuandong factory is only renovated, and there is no output, so the 80 million allocated by CITIC Company is quickly used up, and there is no way, Endeavor Factory can only squeeze out 30 million from the old book and put it in, but there is still no splash.
Meng Jianye saw that it would not work if it continued like this, the Chuandong factory did not boast, and the Endeavor factory was about to be dragged down, you must know that the CITIC company invested more than 300 million yuan, and now there is no money left, and this is still the case that the crankshaft production plant of the Endeavor factory has not been built.
So no matter what, it can't be consumed like this, so I have to get some shipping orders for the Chuandong factory to do.
However, this thought together, Meng Jianye has a headache, the equipment, personnel, and even technical strength of the East Sichuan Plant are good, but its architecture is the production of submarines, although submarines and ordinary ships have great versatility, but there are also great differences, plus the East Sichuan Plant is a teacher of the Soviet Union, many of the equipment are professional submarine parts processing equipment, the versatility is very poor, which limits the ability of the East Sichuan Plant to undertake other ship orders.
In other words, except for submarines, other ships in the East Sichuan Plant can't figure it out at all.
This made Meng Jianye's trigeminal nerve very twitching, just kidding, this thing is like a big baby, the order is so small that the giant panda will cry when he sees it, and he Meng Jianye can't do it no matter how big his ability is.
In desperation, Meng Jianye could only take another 20 million yuan from the Endeavor Factory to replace the equipment of the East Sichuan Plant, upgrade the process, and improve the generalization capacity of the East Sichuan Plant.
At the same time, he began to spare no effort to pull the ship list for the East Sichuan Plant, but the limitations of the East Sichuan Plant were too great, and the suitable ship list was too few and too few.
This thing is quite useful for the Endeavor Factory, which has just risen back then, but for today's East Sichuan Factory, it is not enough to even fill in the gaps, there is no way, Meng Jianye can only be cheeky to go to the army to see if he can let the East Sichuan Factory share something in the military products.
Not to mention, this time it really made Meng Jianye hit shit luck, and it happened that the Bangladesh Navy was increasingly worried about the frequent activities of the Indian Navy in the Bay of Bengal.
Therefore, on the occasion of the visit of the Chinese Navy ship formation to Bangladesh, it expressed the hope that China would provide assistance to the Type 1 ship to strengthen Bangladesh's naval strength.
Since the reform and opening up, China's weapons and equipment export policy has completely changed, so it is impossible to provide free aid to Bangladesh, but it is still no problem to provide low-interest loans and implement trade compensation-style payments.
Bangladesh is not rich in the first place, and if it can be asked for nothing, it is naturally necessary to ask for nothing, but if it does not come, low-interest loans are not unacceptable, not to mention that the price of Chinese ships is already very cheap, so China's conditions are completely affordable for Bangladesh.
As a result, the two sides signed an order agreement for two Type 037 hunting submarines.
Although the two countries signed an arms trade agreement on the basis of normal trade, China did not open its mouth and slaughter Bangladesh because of this, but offered a price 40 percent lower than that of similar ships in the international market.
That is, the two Type 037 hunting submarines are comparable to a little more than the cost price, and they do not make much money on Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh Navy is not stupid, knowing that this is China's disguised aid, it is naturally in acknowledgment of China's feelings, and it is not ambiguous, and it directly opens Chittagong to China's ocean-going trade fleet for free docking and provides necessary supplies.
This is great good news for China's ocean-going fleet that is now traveling to and from Western Europe, because China's ocean-going trade fleet in the past 80 years is far less powerful than that of later generations, and it is a large number of hundreds of thousands of tons at every turn, and most of them are still small and medium-sized bulk carriers of 2,000 to 5,000 tons.
Starting from the coast of China, after passing through Malacca, the supplies on the ships were exhausted, so most of the ships were resupplied in Singapore, but the asking price in Singapore was too high, not to mention, and the supplies had to be queued.
There is no way for Singapore to be born to hold the golden waterway of Malacca, and even have to pay for the crossing, let alone supplies.
The tonnage of China's ocean-going cargo ships was originally small, but when Singapore came to get it like this, the cost went up all of a sudden, making China suffer a lot in foreign trade.
After Bangladesh opened Chittagong, it was different, Malacca was not far from Bangladesh, and it could be passed by gritting its teeth, and more importantly, the berthing was free, there was no need to queue, and the cost of supply was not high, which greatly reduced the cost of the trade fleet.
In this way, for China, the two Type 037 submarine hunters not only did not lose money, but made money.
However, it is profitable as a whole, but only in part it is principal-saving, and because of this, many shipyards are not interested in this project.
At this juncture, Meng Jianye took the 053k frigate order that was canceled to the navy, and the naval leaders looked at it, okay, another trouble is coming, so the two troubles are simply added to the five-one spoonful, so they directly threw the construction task of the two 037 submarine hunting ships to Meng Jianye very generously.
Meng Jianye is naturally not stupid, knowing that these two ships are not helpful to the shipowner factory that does not have hematopoietic function at the moment, but Meng Jianye didn't say a word, and still brought back the tasks of these two ships.
In this regard, many people are a little incredible, what kind of person is Meng Jianye, many people have seen it when selling 053K frigates, that is a guy who can't afford to make a profit, he doesn't do anything and has to think of trying to tear off a piece of meat from others, how can he be willing to do it for nothing?
