However, it is easy to talk about keeping the line of supply ships, but it is not easy to do at all.

Supply ships are not civilian ships, and they can survive without the army, on the contrary, this type of ship type completely needs to be promoted by the army, and it is not only easy to retain the demand, but also the relevant supporting technologies can be deepened.

However, today's Chinese Navy does not have the ability to fight in the ocean, and the demand for supply ships is not so strong.

As a result, the navy set its sights on the vast international arms market, hoping to survive this type of ship through foreign arms trade orders.

But the problem is that the position of a big guy like a supply ship, which can reach tens of thousands of tons at every turn, is really embarrassing in the international arms market.

The navies of ordinary countries do not have the demand for ocean-going operations, so they do not care whether they have supply ships or not, and those countries that have ocean-going combat capabilities are all naval powers, and they have the ability to build supply ships, so they cannot talk about outsourcing.

In this way, there are only a handful of countries that have the ability to fight in the ocean and cannot produce their own, and these countries are divided up by the Soviet Union and the United States and other arms powers, not to mention China, a country that has just started in the field of supply ships, even if it is a shipbuilding power that has made great achievements in this way, it will not be able to enter it.

Because of this, the navy and other units have done a lot of work, but it has no effect at all, otherwise when Gong Shuangqin and Qin Wentong went to the East Sichuan Factory some time ago to investigate, they would not have said that to Meng Jianye.

Its purpose is nothing more than to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, anyway, Meng Jianye can toss it abroad, in case he can toss the supply ship out.

Which Cheng thought that it had only been a few days, and the supply ship was really stuffed to Pakistan by this kid, so that Gong Shuangqin, who suddenly heard the news, was stunned for a few minutes, and then asked in disbelief: "Xiaomeng, will Pakistan really buy our supply ship?"

"Anyway, Ali and I have already given the general framework, and we will talk about it when the high-level Pakistani military delegation visits China next week, but the construction factory can be placed in our Endeavor factory, which you promised. ”

Meng Jianye nodded hurriedly, but he didn't say more than two sentences to talk about the construction of Endeavor Factory, Gong Shuangqin knew Meng Jianye very well about this unprofitable guy, if it was usual, Gong Shuangqin would not have to automatically filter out Meng Jianye's words, but now the supply ship type can be retained and continue to develop, which can be regarded as solving Gong Shuangqin's heart disease.

So the old leader became very generous for the first time: "Okay, just do as you say, but there is one thing that you Endeavor Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. can't break, that is, the quality can't be bad." ”

"You can rest assured that our civilian ships will be safe and sound in the hurricane, and the quality of our military ships will only be higher than this. As soon as Gong Shuangqin's voice fell, Meng Jianye began to reassure himself.

In fact, it is true that the 3,000-ton bulk carrier ordered by the New Zealand Trade Wind Shipping Company was suddenly hit by a 12-level hurricane when it was carrying out a North American route transportation, and many ships in the same sea area were damaged to varying degrees.

The closing weld on the port side of one of the 16,000-ton tankers was torn open by a strong wind whirlwind, and the four crew members on board went missing, not to mention the leakage of more than 1,000 tons of crude oil.

However, the 3,000-ton bulk carrier "Brave Maori", as its name suggests, tossed and fell in a violent storm, but it has always remained in good condition, and when the storm leaves, the personnel on board can not help but be safe and sound, the cargo has not been lost, and the state of the ship itself has not been affected in the slightest.

Not only was it able to continue sailing, but it was also actively rescuing other damaged vessels until the arrival of the U.S. Coast Guard that the Brave Maori left the waters to continue its own transport mission.

At this time, after US media reports, for a time in the international shipping community caused a storm no less than 12 hurricanes, you must know that most of the damaged ships at that time were produced by old European shipyards, a hurricane passed, almost collectively hit the street.

But fortunately, the tonnage of most of the ships is not large, and those old shipyards can still find an excuse to reluctantly prevaricate, but the Portuguese shipyard in Lisbon, which is responsible for building the 10,000-ton cruise ship, is completely cold.

The closing weld was torn apart by the storm and the waves, which was tantamount to saying that the segmented and segmented closing process of the Lisbon shipyard was not up to par, and the Lisbon shipyard was pushed into the abyss at once.

Not only did they lose all their ship orders, but the owners of the 10,000-ton cruise ship and the families of the missing crew members launched endless legal proceedings against the Lisbon shipyard, plus other shipowners' compensation conditions.

In less than two months, the century-old shipyard went bankrupt.

Just like Pai Gow on the gambling table, some people lose and go bankrupt, and some people make a lot of money, and Endeavor Factory is the winner who makes a lot of money.

Through the performance of the Brave Maori in the hurricane and the praise of the American media, the Endeavour factory, which was responsible for the construction of the Brave Maori, instantly made a name for itself around the world.

Along with the conscience of the enterprise, the reputation of superb skills comes a high shipping order.

Among them, the largest is the New Zealand Trade Wind Shipping Company, they have also made a lot of money from the hurricane incident, between the Trade Wind Shipping Company's super fleet execution ability, many large American enterprises signed shipping contracts with it, so that the Trade Wind Shipping Company's business volume surged, and it was urgent to expand the size of the fleet.

The Trade Wind Shipping Company, which has benefited from Chinese shipyards, naturally handed over all the ship's single shares to Endeavor Factory.

This is a super large order for two 15,000-ton container ships and six 5,000-ton bulk carriers, with a total value of more than $200 million.

Jiao Dalin, the general manager of Endeavor Factory at that time, still had a headache about what to do after the expiration of the Japanese cooperation agreement, and the super large order of the Trade Wind Shipping Company was directly smashed.

After Jiao Dalin's short excitement, he began to have a headache again, so many shipping orders, with today's Endeavor factory production capacity, it is simply not enough.

In this way, Jiao Dalin, who was worried about how to grab the ship order in the past, was worried about too many ship orders for the first time.

Gong Shuangqin and Qin Wentong naturally knew about such a big matter, not only that, but the two also participated in coordinating the secondary outsourcing of Endeavor Factory's shipping orders in China.

This made many shipyards on the verge of distress breathe a sigh of pride, so Gong Shuangqin nodded: "That's good, oh, by the way, if you have nothing to do, go to the capital with me, and report the specific situation to the head of the navy in person." ”

"Uh...... Can you wait a day?"

"Why?"

"Pakistan has agreed to let our factory inspect their Agosta-70 submarines, so I can confirm the candidate. Meng Jianye replied with a blank look, but Gong Shuangqin's eyes were worth it when he heard this: "What did you say?
