Chapter 102 Preliminary Work

(Thank you for the world's jerking, shepherd 818, Changchun sea, love to fight to win the rewards of several brothers, as well as your recommendation, thank you for your support.) )

Monday, March 22, 8:30 a.m.

Zhou You came to the shipyard again and was warmly welcomed by the shipyard leaders. Since they decided to accept this order worth tens of millions, they sent a vice president to make a special trip to entertain them.

The leader was accompanied by not only staff from the business department, design department, and finance department, but also an official from the security department.

Although Zhou You is young, he has the strength to take out millions of dollars at once, and he can be an uncle wherever he goes.

After a brief introduction, everyone came to the conference room, where an engineer from the design department made a technical analysis of the design of the entire ship based on the first draft of the design of the tour.

"Mr. Zhou, according to your requirements, as well as the layout of the cabin, we have done technical integration and design feasibility studies. I have to say that although you don't know about ship design, you have a revolutionary innovation in the design of this salvage ship. However, there are still some questions in this, and I hope to get your explanation, because we can't understand the meaning and function of your designs. ”

Hearing his praise, Zhou You was not complacent. He had worked on a salvage ship for six years, and he had a wealth of experience in later generations, so the salvage ship he designed was naturally more practical than the current salvage ship.

Of course, he doesn't have the ability to design a salvage ship, what he can do is to put together as many functions as possible to make the ship more versatile and practical.

"The design of a ship, for you, is the accumulation of technology, so that all the facilities on the ship can be effectively used, you need to calculate little by little. But for me, I don't care about the details, I only care about the results. So there's going to be some technical tweaks going to be made here. But as long as I can meet my needs, no matter how big the adjustments are, we can discuss them. ”

He nodded and asked: "First of all, in order to facilitate rescue, the salvage ship should have as much gunside height as possible, and it is common for the third deck and fourth deck to be common, but why do you have to ask for the main shape of the American Guard-class salvage ship?" We all know that the practicality of the American Guard-class salvage ship is not high. ”

"But you can't deny that the American Guardsman class is a salvage vessel with the best comprehensive capabilities. It doesn't stand out in terms of comfort, seakeeping, speed, or lifting, but almost no other salvage vessel has so many features. ”

"In other words, you need a salvage ship that has almost all the features stacked, not that it has a particular advantage?"

"So to speak."

"Then why would you sacrifice the diversity of the deck and ask for only two decks?"

Zhou You had already thought about these questions in his heart, so he replied directly: "Guard against pirates." The general salvage ship has too low a side, especially the flat design at the tail, which is good in the offshore waters, but on the high seas, it will become a target for all pirates. ”

Hearing Zhou You's explanation, he turned the picture to a ** split design drawing of the salvage cabin and asked, "Then what is the purpose of your design here?" Designing a separate compartment in the salvage chamber that can be separated from the hull at any time will make us doubt your purpose. If you use this chamber for drug trafficking and smuggling, no one will ever be able to get your hands on you. Because when it comes to inspection, you can just throw this chamber into the sea and salvage it later. ”

"I'm here to protect against pirates, and I'm going to use it as a weapons bay. Using this place for smuggling, it's really a shame that you think about it, how many drugs do I have to transport to be worth the price of my ship? ”

Everyone here laughed, using a ship worth tens of millions to smuggle, which is indeed a joke. Even the world's largest drug lord would not allow such a conspicuous salvage ship to smuggle. Because it is not a merchant ship, it is very difficult for you to enter the waters of another country.

However, hearing Zhou Lobby to prepare for this as a weapons bay, a middle-aged official asked, "Are there really so many pirates on the high seas?" Two water cannons have already been designed on board, and weapons bays still need to be prepared? ”

Zhou You patiently explained: "Our salvage ships are different from merchant ships in that they operate on fixed routes. In general, they will be in areas that are not easily populated and stay for a long time. The coast of Africa, the Caribbean, the Atlantic, and Southeast Asia are all areas where piracy is active, and if we are not well prepared, our ship will be a target for others. ”

"You mean you won't be moving along the coast where I'm crossing?"

"Unless there is a cooperation project with China, this ship will not enter the coast of our country."

He nodded and said, "I don't have a problem anymore." ”

The engineer then continued to ask: "In the design of the salvage bin, what is the purpose of this separate winch room?" We thought about it for a long time before it occurred to us that this was prepared for deep-sea salvage, wasn't it? ”

Zhou You nodded and said: "I will order a deep-sea machine from IHC and SND respectively in the future, so I have to specially prepare two winches to recover the deep-sea machine." ”

He asked with great interest: "The price of a deep-sea machine can almost buy a ship, and you still buy two at once?" ”

Zhou You glanced at him and said, "We can talk about personal issues later, and now we should find out some technical problems that need to be solved around the design of this ship." ”

After listening to Zhou You's words, he was ashamed, couldn't help but glance at the leaders present, and continued to discuss other issues.

For a whole morning, the two sides discussed the design of the salvage ship in the conference room, and whenever Zhou You answered a question, there were always a few technicians who worked hard to copy his design concept.

Zhou You is not afraid that they will steal these designs, anyway, he can help them, and his heart is also happy.

After a morning passed, only a small part of the work was carried out, and after a working meal at the shipyard hotel, there was no rest at noon, and everyone started the afternoon work again.

"Since it's a salvage vessel, why is it required to install a trawl at the stern?"

"Why is the freshwater tank so big?"

"Diesel tanks are too large to occupy more warehouse space......"

"It's not like a tool ship, it's more like a palace on the sea......"

From the power of the ship to the electricity, to the equipment specifications, from the design of the crew cabin to the electronic instruments, the two sides conducted serious analysis and discussion.

Finally, before getting off work in the afternoon, I communicated all the links.

At this time, the two sides studied the payment method.

Circumnavigation is not about buying a boat in the name of an individual, but in the name of a company in Singapore. Therefore, to pay the funds, it is necessary to wait for the Singapore company to be registered, and then remit money through the guò company account.

Although the total price of the ship has not yet been calculated, according to international practice, the minimum cost of the trip is 30% in advance, so that the shipyard will arrange the procurement and specific design, as well as production.

Zhou You didn't bother with this issue, but readily agreed to pay two million first. When the hull is completed, 50 percent of the funds must be paid, 90 percent when the ship is handed over, and the remaining 10 percent after one year.

At the same time, Zhou You also contacted Lin Wei, and as soon as she got the registration document, she would come to Yangcheng from Singapore to complete the official procedures.

Lin Wei is the first and only employee of Zhou You. She is currently working in Wieman's office in Singapore, and even travels around without wanting to sue for a separate office anytime soon, as their company will not have any business until the ship is built.

At present, the only job is to liaise with the Singapore Maritime Authority (MSA) and strive to become a company supported by the MSA in the future.

In order to get the shipyard to start construction as soon as possible, Zhou You first issued a short-term acceptance bill of $500,000 from the account of the Bank of China, so that the shipyard could start construction immediately.

After completing the preliminary procedures for the procurement work, Zhou You returned his attention to the arrangement of going to Zhanjiang to participate in the Nanyue Seafarers Competition.

Under the arrangement of President Zhu, he will participate in the theory test and the triathlon individual competition, and the team he formed has also selected four people to participate in the triathlon team competition with him.

Of course, the school arranged a lot of actual competitions, including almost all nine competitions, sent a team of more than 50 people, and sent a large tourist bus to carry all the participants to Zhanjiang.

Zhou You did not follow to squeeze the bus, more than 50 students, plus the teacher who led the team, there were more than 60 people. The tour bus can only seat 52 people, and the rest can only take the dilapidated minibus of the school.

After learning of the school's arrangement, Zhou You drove his own BMW, which made Principal Zhu improve his financial ability again, and used his power for personal gain, and drove Feng Haijun and several of his team members into the bus and took a few teachers to his BMW.

He actually has a Jetta, but on such an occasion, driving a Jetta is really a bit faceless in the past, so it is better to hide it.

The other four members who followed Zhou You to participate in the triathlon were Chu Yannan, Feng Haijun, Han Zhonghua and Jin Qiang, and a classmate named Mao Xiaohua was a substitute.

In addition to traveling, they are all trainees, they have been working on the ship for several years, and now they want to get a diploma before coming to the school for further study.

Because they have worked at sea, they are better than those regular trainees in practice. In fact, in addition to the pervert of traveling around, most of the students who participated in the competition in other schools were also such talents.

Only some theoretical exams, those regular students have a certain advantage, but since it is a crew skills competition, the proportion of results occupied by the theoretical exam is not worth mentioning.

Of the nine major competitions, there is only one theory test, and the other eight are practical ability competitions.

(There is a bug in the previous article, Singapore is to get a permanent residence permit first, become a permanent resident for two years, or after living in Singapore for half a year, you can change your citizenship card and Singapore passport, so everyone ignores this.) )
