"Don't worry," Chen Geng hurriedly stopped him: "The current Ukraine is quite chaotic, pay more attention to safety." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I know, I'll be careful." Gong Jianjun nodded.

"I mean, I heard that there are a lot of elite soldiers in Ukraine who have retired from various elite units of the Soviet Union, and there are even some elite soldiers who have come out of units like the KGB, and I want to find a way to build a security team with these people as the team...... Don't talk yet, listen to me," stopped Gong Jianjun, who wanted to speak, Chen Gengzheng said: "Our company in Ukraine is not a two-person person, but a huge team of dozens of people, since everyone has followed us out regardless of safety, as the boss of the group, we must consider everyone's personal safety more - no matter what, we must put everyone's safety first." ”

"I know," Gong Jianjun's face was a little ashamed, if it weren't for Chen Geng to say, he really didn't expect this: "I'm going to be safe-I won't tell you, there are really a lot of people who plan to introduce me to this in the past few days." ”

"Also, don't do everything yourself, all the people of the three religions and the nine streams deal with each other, it's just to spend some money, but with the help of these local snakes, it will be much easier for us to do things." Chen Geng admonished again.

"I understand," Gong Jianjun said with a smile: "I won't tell you, we really have a lot of dealings with these three sects and nine streams these days......" Seeing that Chen Geng was about to speak, Gong Jianjun smiled and waved his hand: "I know what you have to say, don't worry, we will definitely not suffer, if there is really anyone who wants to be blind and is ready to fight any crooked ideas, we are not vegetarians." ”

"Cheng, I'm relieved to have your words," Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In a word, don't be afraid to spend money, the money you spend now is all for the purpose of making more money in the future!" ”

The brothers looked at each other and laughed in unison.

………………………………………………

After a few days, Makarov was in a hurry.

As a high value-added special engineering ship, the cost of floating dock is very high, a medium-sized floating dock with a lifting force of 4,500 tons to 5,000 tons, capable of lifting a civil ship of 10,000 tons to 15,000 tons, the market price is also more than 13 million US dollars, with a profit rate of more than 18%...... This profitability is already quite impressive in the shipbuilding industry...... It is precisely because of this that Makarov is so eager to win Chen Geng's order: the market price of a 10,000-ton floating dock is more than 28 million US dollars!

For the Nikolaev shipyard, which is eagerly waiting for the rice to be cooked, there is no doubt about the preciousness of this order, although for the current Nikolaev shipyard, they cannot offer such a high price, but even $25 million, or even $2,300, is completely worth it.

If there is an order, there will be bread, but Chen Geng's resolute attitude made Makarov have nothing to do.

Returning to the Nikolaev shipyard again disappointed, seeing Makarov's helpless expression, the leadership of the Nikolaev shipyard, who had been waiting in the conference room for a long time, sighed silently.

Voronenkov, deputy chief engineer of the Nikolaev shipyard, looked desperate: "Director, can't you really convince the Chinese to give us this order?" ”

Makarov shook his head slightly: "Now it seems that there is not much hope. ”

Voronenkov slapped the table in annoyance, and said angrily: "If they don't agree to our conditions, it's a big deal that we won't cooperate with them......"

"Voronenkov, don't say such angry words," Makarov said with a wry smile: "You know, how important this order is to us, no matter how much it costs, we must try to get this order down." ”

"I ...... I'm ......"

Voronenkov lowered his head in a gloomy manner, of course he knew very well how important this order was to the Nikolaev Shipyard, no matter what the cost, the Nikolaev Shipyard must find a way to get this order, otherwise everyone would have to starve, and with a fist on the table, Voronenkov said angrily: "Those damn bastards, why be independent?" ”

yes, those damn bastards, why be independent? Wasn't life good enough before? This question is also a question that all the people at the Nikolaev shipyard want to ask: how well did we live when we were still part of the USSR? Don't worry about food, don't worry about clothing, the country has arranged everything for itself properly, but now? Everyone was worried about where the next meal of bread would be, and they were groveling for this small order that they would never look down on before......

The huge difference in life before and after independence made the entire Nikolaev shipyard extremely nostalgic for the beauty of the Soviet era.

Makarov also misses the beauty of the Soviet era very much, but he knows better that since Ukraine has become independent from the Soviet Union, it is useless to say that, and the beauty of the Soviet era has nothing to do with himself: "Since there is no chance to return to the Soviet era, then don't talk about it anymore, let's talk about it first...... What are we going to do?

Oh, by the way, this time Chen Geng clearly told me that if we can't give an answer within three days, they will go to find other partners. ”

"This bastard! He's ...... Rob! Voronenkov gritted his teeth.

Makarov was calm: "That's right, he's robbing, but do we still have a choice?" ”

Voronenkov opened his mouth, but he was speechless, the director of the Makarov plant was right, for the current Nikolaev shipyard, it is already a very happy thing to be robbed. But Voronenkov was still not reconciled, he hesitated for a moment and proposed: "That...... Can you change the way you work together? It's a great loss to exchange all our floating dock technology for a 10,000-ton floating dock, for example, to persuade him to give us an order for a few more ships, and we will provide them with all the floating dock manufacturing technology and processes? ”

Makarov also felt that it was too much of a loss, and after thinking about it, he finally nodded: "Then I'll try again." ”

………………………………

Looking at Makarov and Voronenkov in front of him, Chen Geng was a little amused: "What do you mean, unless Runhua Industrial places more orders, it won't cooperate with us?" ”

Afraid that Voronenkov would say the wrong thing, Makarov hurriedly grabbed Voronenkov and said: "No, no, no, Mr. Chen, you misunderstood, we very much hope to cooperate with you, we mean that we are willing to transfer to you the manufacturing process and related technology of the floating dock, but it is impossible to master the manufacturing industry and technology of this special engineering ship by building a floating dock, since your company intends to make a difference in the field of special ship manufacturing, don't you want to master these processes and technologies faster?" ”

“…… Okay, you convinced me," after a moment of silence, Chen Geng finally nodded: "I can sign a contract with me to cooperate in the manufacture of three floating docks in the next 10 years......"

"10 years?" Makarov was immediately anxious: "Mr. Chen......"

"You listen to me first," Chen Geng waved his hand, signaling Makarov not to worry: "The first floating dock will be built in my shipyard, this is not negotiable, but this is a floating dock with a lifting capacity of 4,500 to 5,000 tons; The second is a floating dock with a lifting force of 10,000 tons to 130 million, and as for the third ......" Looking at Makarov, Chen Geng said in a deep voice: "What I want is a super large floating dock that can lift at least 250,000 tons of ocean-going tankers, ore ships or ro-ro ships, and must have a self-propelled capacity of at least 500 kilometers and a speed of not less than 5 knots." ”

Makarov froze.

Voronenkov also froze.

Neither of them expected Chen Geng to make such a request.

Nowadays, more than 95% of the floating docks in the world are not powered, do not have the ability to navigate the floating docks, want to move, must be dragged or carried by tugboats, as for why we do not build self-propelled floating docks, a big reason is that there is no need, although the floating dock is a special engineering ship floating on the sea, but in fact it rarely moves, generally stopped broadcasting near the port, more than 1000 meters from the shore when there are very few, basically docked where will not move, even if it wants to move, On average, it may not move once in two or three years, in this case, there is naturally no need to install a power system - the purchase price of a single power system is not cheap, since the frequency of use of the power system is so low, there is no need to waste this money, right? The cost of purchasing this power system and installing it is enough to hire dozens or hundreds of tugboats.

If, according to Chen Geng's request, a floating dock carrying a 250,000-ton ocean-going oil tanker -- even if it is an empty ship -- can be maintained and repaired with a certain self-propelled capacity, even if it can only sail 500 kilometers at a speed of five knots, this power system will cost several million dollars.

However, this is completely unnecessary, and it is very strange, why verse 5? Why only 500 km? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

"Mr. Chen," Voronenkov said cautiously, "a floating dock capable of lifting 250,000 tons of ocean-going tankers will have a lifting force of almost 60,000 tons, the length of the dock should be at least 320 meters, the width should be at least 70 meters, and you will need to install a power system on it...... This, there really isn't a need. ”

"It's necessary, I say it's necessary," Chen Geng's smile was a little mysterious: "And this power system must be modular, that is, if necessary, I can quickly remove it, and after dismantling, if necessary, I can also install it back in a short time." ”

Voronenkov and Makarov's eyes were about to pop out: Nima, what the hell is this request?
