Chapter 913: People in Troubled Times Are Not as Good as Dogs
After being stunned for about half a minute, Makarov said carefully: "It is no problem for the Nikolaev Shipyard to build a floating dock with a lifting force of 60,000 tons, but to install a power system for such a large floating dock...... With all due respect, Mr. Chen, I personally don't think it's necessary at all......"
"I know," Chen Geng nodded, "but I insist." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"......" The expressions on the faces of Makarov and Voronenkov suddenly became extraordinarily exciting, and the words that were prepared were not rejected by Chen Geng's words - the owner of the ship wants such a ship, what can you do? If you have a temper, you don't take orders.
"Okay, no kidding," Chen Gengzheng said: "I know that it is completely unnecessary to install a power system on such a large ship, but I have a reason why I have to do it, and now my question is, can the Nikolaev shipyard meet my requirements?" β
Makarov and Voronenkov immediately reacted, that's right, no matter how strange the owner's request is, the only thing that the shipyard can do is to explain the situation to the shipowner, and if the owner still insists, then follow the owner's request, no matter how strange the owner's request is. After adjusting his mentality, Makarov confirmed to Chen Geng: "The modular power system structure that can be disassembled, the speed of 5 to 6 knots, and the range of 500 kilometers, Mr. Chen, this is your basic requirement for the power train, right?" β
Chen Geng nodded and gave Makarov an affirmative answer: "In addition, Mr. Makarov, you have to go to my shipyard for a certain period of time to do even guidance, if I ask you to do it, I can consider handing over the order for this floating dock to your Nikolaev shipyard to complete." β
When he said this, Chen Geng was a little regretful, if it weren't for the fact that his shipyard didn't have a large enough land dock, and there was nothing he could do about such a behemoth, how could such a good thing fall on the head of the Nikolaev shipyard?
Makarov and Voronenkov didn't know that the shipyard of Runhua Industry did not have such a large land dock to build this kind of floating dock, but after receiving Chen Geng's reply, Makarov and Voronenkov were frantic with excitement: "Mr. Chen, what you said is true? Do you really ...... Will you hand over this largest floating dock to us to build? β
Makarov is okay, Voronenkov is very excited!
A 60,000-ton super floating dock, even if the Nikolaev shipyard is good at the giant section shipbuilding method, the entire project cost will reach nearly 100 million US dollars, if this project can really be won, the Nikolaev shipyard will have a better life back then - the only regret is that this floating dock is the last to be built, and it is within 10 years, if it is built now, how good would it be?
Overly excited, Voronenkov forgot the fact that a super floating dock with a lifting capacity of more than 60,000 tons means that it is more than 70 meters wide, and it also means that at least a land dock or slipway with a width of more than 80 meters is needed to complete the construction of such a behemoth. Looking through the entire Nikolaev shipyard, the only slipway suitable for the construction of such a behemoth is slipway 0, but now the Ulyanovsk, which has not yet completed the hull closing, is parked on slipway 0.
But it's no wonder that Voronenkov, this super self-propelled floating dock with a lifting capacity of at least 60,000 tons will not be built until at least three or five years later, and after three or five years, who will dare to guarantee that the Ulyanovsk will still stay on slipway 0? - Not to mention Voronenkov and Makarov, even the Soviets and Ukrainians would never have imagined that in a few months they would personally dismantle the Ulyanovsk, which was still on slipway 0.
"Of course," Chen Geng affirmed, "this can be written into our cooperation agreement - as long as the offer of the Nikolaev shipyard is competitive enough." β
"Rest assured, the Nikolaev shipyard will definitely give the best price." Voronenkov pointed to the heavens and the earth, and almost wrote a blood letter to Chen Geng on the spot as a guarantee.
"Oh, by the way, below the specific specifications of this floating dock, our company is also discussing it now, and it is not ruled out that a larger tonnage floating dock will be built in the future, so ......" made a gesture, Chen Geng said: "Mr. Voronenkov, you and your colleagues had better be mentally prepared, maybe I will ask for a floating dock of 70,000 tons, 80,000 tons or even higher, are you sure you can do it?" β
A super floating dock with a lifting capacity of 780,000 tons or even higher?
Chen Geng's ambitious words made Makarov and Voronenkov gasp at the same time: to build such a large floating dock with a certain self-propelled ability, what are the Chinese planning to do with him?
But no matter what the Chinese plan to do with this floating dock, one thing is certain, as long as the order for this floating dock is in hand, the Nikolaev shipyard can earn at least tens of millions of dollars!
Voronenkov's whole person was so excited that he stammered: "Mr. Chen, I promise...... I swear to you that the Nikolaev shipyard will be able to meet all your requirements. β
"Very good, I will arrange someone to negotiate the specific price, and I also hope that you will organize the manpower as soon as possible."
What does the organization do? To China, of course.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chen Geng felt that this matter was almost settled here, and the asking price of the Nikolaev shipyard waiting for the rice to be put in the pot was not high, it could be said that it was full of sincerity, and Chen Geng was not worried about the fourth child staring here, but just when Chen Geng was about to leave Ukraine, the team negotiating with the Nikolaev shipyard gave Chen Geng a message that made him laugh and cry......
"Are you mistaken? The Nikolaev shipyard wants us to use food as a means of payment, and the share of food cannot be less than 60%? When he heard this, Chen Geng's whole person was confused.
"We're weird, too, but that's what they ask for." The one who came to report to Chen Geng was also crying and laughing.
"Is the food supply in Ukraine so tight now?" Chen Geng frowned, a little incomprehensible: "This is too exaggerated, right?" It's only been a few days since independence from the USSR? β
I heard that in the 10 years after independence from the Soviet Union, there will be people starving to death in Ukraine every year, Chen Geng is skeptical about this, no matter what, Ukraine is the granary of the Soviet Union, and it is just a matter of starving to death in the 30s, and in the 90s, people are still starving to death? In Chen Geng's view, I am afraid that this is more of a false rumor -- there may be cases of a few people dying of starvation, but such extreme cases should be rare.
But now, Ukraine has just become independent from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union has not yet collapsed, and Ukraine, as the "vanguard of democracy", has already had a situation where there is not enough food to eat?
"Is the food supply tight in Ukraine now?" Frowning, Chen Geng asked.
"It's quite tight, it is said that the price of flour has risen by more than 50% in the last week, and it is difficult to buy ...... Well, maybe it's just the situation here in the city of Nikolaev, and the rest of the city should not be ......"
"Then go check and find out what the current food supply situation in Ukraine is," Chen Geng said immediately: "This may be our opportunity...... That's right, it's our chance......"
No one can resist hunger, on the existing basis, a family will not have a problem with keeping warm if they don't buy new clothes for three years, it's great to wear old clothes for two years, but highly industrialized Ukrainians don't have the habit of storing grain at home, and an ordinary family's grain reserves will definitely not exceed a month!
Chen Geng suddenly realized that this could be an excellent opportunity for Runhua Industrial's Ukrainian business!
Thinking of this, Chen Geng couldn't sit still any longer, and touched the phone to call Gong Jianjun: "Fourth, you go and check how the food supply in Kiev is now, and the recent food price increase ......"
"Third brother, I was just about to tell you about this," without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Gong Jianjun said: "Third brother, you may not believe what I said, in the past few days since I arrived in Kiev, the price of meals in the hotel has risen twice, and the two times add up to more than 60%. β
"! So powerful? β
"Isn't it?" Gong Jianjun sighed with emotion: "Because of this, I deliberately paid attention to the situation of rice, noodles, meat, eggs and non-staple foods in the market, and basically the price increased by 50%...... For this matter, I also deliberately asked the people of Ukraine to find out, and everyone said that the current life is much more difficult than before...... Now in Kyiv, there are two things that are best used, one is the dollar, and the other is food, I see, if the Ukrainian government does not hurry up to find a way to solve the problem, I am afraid that after a while, the dollar may not be good to eat, I think, if we can get something to eat, together with the dollar, then our plan is simply invincible......"
"Then it's decided!" Chen Geng didn't say a word, and immediately slapped the board: "Fourth, I said, the Ukrainian side will be given full authority to you, as long as you feel necessary, you can take any method you think is right, and the group will fully cooperate with your actions in this matter." β
"Hehe...... Gong Jianjun laughed twice, didn't respond, but asked, "You're going back to Russia tomorrow, right?" β
Chen Gengying said: "Yes, stay in Russia for a maximum of three days, and then go to Africa, what?" Something? β
"I think it's better for you to go back to China first, the country is quite concerned about your affairs in Russia, so ......"
Gong Jianjun didn't say it too clearly, but Chen Geng reacted suddenly: he was in too much of a hurry!
Whether it is a small-thrust turbofan engine for cruise missiles and UAVs, or a turbofan engine that can be used for both military and civilian purposes, it is of course urgently needed by our country, but we can't help but say hello to the above, this matter is indeed a bad thing I did - this is someone who greeted Gong Jianjun and asked him to take a time to talk to himself, right?
