Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about Nie Yuntai's concerns, an engine is the most important thing for a ship, a ship without an engine is just an empty shelf, from his words and expressions, he knows that for this engine, most people do not trust.

For his opinion, Yang Yuanzhao is angry and funny, is it possible that he is such a person, casually stretching out his hand, you know, the current Jiangnan Shipyard, with his large investment, basically the vast majority of the shares are him, whether it is working capital, or his own fixed assets, he took it out, invested 200 million, for a steam engine of tens of thousands of silver dollars to reach out, regardless of the reputation of Jiangnan Shipyard, is he so short-sighted?

But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame him, Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that this is the status quo, China in the past few decades, even matches, cigarettes, flour can not be produced by itself, and the time for the production of the northwest is only a long time, because many things are hidden, only some light industrial products or machines will flow out, unless it is a fairly deep understanding of the northwest, otherwise it will not know that the northwest can already produce most of the industrial categories, and the engine and steam engine are among the best, Taking the steam engine for the train as an example, it has reached and surpassed the world's top products, and the Baotou locomotive has been able to run at a speed of about 200 kilometers per hour on a special line, although it is a single achievement of a high-power locomotive, which is much higher than the speed of kilometers per hour in the world......

Do you have to explain it carefully, Nie Yuntai has already misunderstood, I'm afraid that some things will get darker and darker. There are some things that he can't understand, and Yang Yuanzhao doesn't have the patience to explain to Nie Yuntai. Directly shook off a sentence and asked the northwest to ship in advance. It takes 20 days to test on the spot, and place an order after passing the customs, but if it does not pass, return it and choose British and American products.

Yang Yuanzhao said this kind of Cheng dù s In short, this is the largest tonnage of sea ships manufactured by Jiangnan Shipyard, which not only represents word of mouth, but also represents the breakthrough of Jiangnan Shipyard.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't care what Nie Yuntai thought, and went straight to the office area. Sitting in Nie Yuntai's office, Nie Yuntai's secretary brought a series of documents, and the report was not very systematic, which was a grade worse than the northwest specifications. However, it can be seen that the changes in Jiangnan Shipyard have made a large amount of investment to make the entire Jiangnan Shipyard. It has become a new look, the old shipyard. It has been renovated and transformed to become even stronger. This is evidenced by the 4,500-tonne order from Swire, which is also on the order for seven ships of various sizes and 12 in the remaining seven dockyards.

Although, when all the orders are completed, the gross income is only about 1.7 million, but this is a good start, isn't it, from this point of view, the 60 million valuation of Jiangnan Shipyard is not expensive at all, because this is a 6-month order, the run-in period has passed, after the completion of the new shipbuilding dock, the efficiency and gross income will continue to increase.

The shipbuilding industry is indeed very profitable, as long as the dock is used reasonably, the annual income is quite large, a dock is used for decades, more than a hundred years, Britain, France and Germany more than a hundred years of docks abound, but in recent decades, with the rise of the navy and technology, these docks have to fall behind.

According to the report, the engineers currently invited are only about 20% in place, and there are still fifty or sixty masters invited from the United States and the United Kingdom, who are experts in the field of civil shipbuilding, which has raised Jiangnan Shipyard to a higher level. On the other hand, this is the important role of the foundation, Jiangnan Shipyard has spent decades to form this kind of heritage, if it is replaced by the northwest, even if there is such a fund, there is such a very dock, a certain amount of dù above, it is impossible to do this, even with the support of Germany, the entry of this kind of thing, it seems to be ethereal, but it is actually existing, when the engineer said the indicators, the orders said, the workers below did not understand at all, the chicken and the duck spoke, in this case, And how can you work smoothly and achieve excellent quality and high standards and speed?

After seeing half of the information, Yang Yuanzhao thought of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Yuntai, a batch of equipment will arrive the day after tomorrow, you ask the personnel of the engineering department to pick it up, by the way, who is the chief engineer of our shipyard at present?" ”

"Frenchman, Pierre?"

Yang Yuanzhao has never heard of this name, it should not be the engineer who left his name in history, after thinking about it for a while, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, the engineer who left his name, the name left in history, there are really not many engineers who remember him, that is not a master-level character, for example, Kunibetti, who proposed the concept of a dreadnought, and William White, a legendary British designer, these are not national treasure-level figures, with the small stove of Jiangnan Shipyard, how could it attract such a golden phoenix.

Looking carefully at the following information, in the information, there is an introduction about him, the assistant chief engineer of the Marseille shipyard, who has been working in the shipyard for 20 years, has personally led the construction of 10,000-ton cargo ships, and has a rich resume, especially in the civilian field. It seems that it took a lot of effort to find this person, and in the civilian field, he can be regarded as a leader among engineers, if Yang Yuanzhao did not have Germany as his backing, maybe he would have been dug up to Qingdao.

"Let him go too, there is a batch of equipment dedicated to shipbuilding, let him see how to use it!" After Yang Yuanzhao finished speaking casually, he didn't say anything more, and in the room, only the sound of rustling through the text was left.

The whistle sounded, about 2 days later than Yang Yuanzhao and them, and the large equipment was transported over by 12 ocean-going freighters of different sizes, with the largest displacement of about 15,000 tons, and the smallest ocean-going cargo ship of 4,000 tons.

With the help of the drawings obtained in Qingdao, Yang Yuanzhao shared 7 sets of shipbuilding equipment with an integrated mechanism, including various types of equipment, including two behemoths, a 1,200-ton hydraulic press and a 600-ton free forging press.

Nie Yuntai looked at the 12 thousand-ton and 10,000-ton cargo ships slightly straightened, knowing that he was receiving the goods, he thought it was just a batch of small pieces, one or two hundred tons, but he didn't expect that it was a fleet, almost more than 70,000 tons, even if it was just ordinary materials, this was amazing enough.

A foreigner suddenly came over, he was the chief engineer Pierre, and asked with some confusion: "Chairman Yang, General Manager Nie, I don't know what this batch of goods is, is it a marine steel plate?" ”

Yang Yuanzhao shook his head and said, "No, it's a batch of shipbuilding machinery, and there is a list with the ship!" ”

The fleet stopped, and the person in charge of transportation saw Yang Yuanzhao in the port, and hurriedly ran forward, Yang Yuanzhao didn't say a few words to him, and after speaking, he directly handed the list he got to Pierre, Pierre himself looked at it casually, before coming today, when Nie Yuntai informed him, he had already told him that the marine steam unit should be replaced and replaced with one produced in the northwest, and he rebounded at that time, China may be able to produce incomparable silk, or it may be able to produce exquisite porcelain, but the machine qì, Representing the most high-end machine of the industrial age, this is not something that China can produce.

Fortunately, there is still a glimmer of leeway, as long as the equipment that comes can not pass the standard, it can be given up, but this batch of machines is shoehorned over, and the money spent is the money of the major shareholders, but Pierre came to China, came to Jiangnan Shipyard, in order to do a career, from the assistant to the chief engineer, he needs to step over this hurdle, only after stepping over, his one qiē will be smooth, and now there is this variable, giving him the feeling that something may be going wrong, and his mood can not be good.

"It's!" Pierre saw the list, full of disbelief, 1200 tons of hydraulic presses, 600 tons of free forging presses, ultra-large format boring machines and broaching machines, all kinds of machine tools for processing large machinery, these seem simple, just a few words of name, in the heart of an engineer like Pierre, but it seems to set off a monstrous wave, the most important thing is that this is not a set, but a whole 5 sets.

Pierre is not unseen in the world, France, as one of the maritime powers, has its own production of battleships, and also has a huge ocean-going fleet in the world, but that is the power of the country, 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, most of them are just processing military warships and some cannons, civilian, the limit is 2000 tons of hydraulic presses, about 1000 tons of free forging presses, that is already the top civilian shipyard in France, general shipyards, I am afraid that even 1200 tons and 600 tons can not be used, At the Marseille shipyard where Pierre was previously located, he didn't even have a hydraulic press or a free forging press.

France, a maritime power, is still like this, not to mention in China, Pierre came to Jiangnan Shipyard, at most he hoped that there would be a hydraulic press of three or four hundred tons in response to emergencies, and some materials that must be processed at a higher level can be purchased from outside, but I didn't expect that the major shareholders were so generous, and it was 5 sets at once, which was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

"What's wrong, Pierre, isn't something right?" Noticing Pierre's expression, he asked casually.

"Nothing, let's see!" Pierre replied a little absent-mindedly, although he didn't quite believe that for a civilian shipyard, the investment was so large, but such a system written on it also seemed to be a serious matter, so he couldn't believe it, anyway, if there was anything on the list, just look at it, he believed that with his eyes, he would not be deceived.
