[99] Warship Tourism

After the demand was satisfied, Yao Fan signed the contract, and happily completed the transfer of 100 million deposits and left Northwestern Industrial Company.

"Next, I should complete Li Hongzhang's entrustment. At this stage, Lao Li thinks that the more useful I am, the safer I am. Yao Fan thought on the train back to Qingdao.

According to the steam turbine motor ordered for Shandong Machinery Bureau last time, Yao Fanyi gourd painting scoop also gave Li Hongzhang a whole set, plus a batch of simple and cheap manpower processing machine tools, and many fitter tables, forging steel vises, etc., 1875 is really a good place for sales, even the 2o11 fitter's entry forged steel vise is a high-quality hot seller, and then bought enough electric lights, wires and other accessories.

"It's just that the mosquito ship that Lao Li wants is not very easy to do, let me try it and see if I can order it in the name of building a retro warship." Yao Fan's plan has always been to use commercial packaging to complete the cover-up.

Yao Fan found Qingdao Shipyard again.

Liu Decan, the director of the factory, warmly received Yao Fan.

"Mr. Yao, you're here! Have a seat! Have a seat! ”

Once born and twice cooked, Liu Decan was much more enthusiastic this time.

"Two weeks ago, Yuhua Diesel Engine Company has shipped the final assembly of the steam main engine, and our factory has unloaded the tourist antique tugboat you want at that time, and is now rushing to work on the slipway. The three 15o horsepower tugboats are currently the fastest to complete, not only the keel has been laid, but the hull shell steel plate is almost welded. ”

Knowing that the progress was smooth, Yao Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Director Liu, I have a list, you can help me see if I can take it." ”

Liu Decan# opened the drawings that Yao Fan handed over to him and flipped through them. This is the drawing that Yao Fan downloaded online from the British Library for a fee of £49.99, and it is the original drawings of the four "Alpha" warships previously manufactured by Armstrong Shipyard.

"Ho! It's not easy to get this information, isn't it? Liu Decan said in surprise while looking at the English number jù on the drawing.

"The British Library, paid download, is a scan of the original drawings of the Armstrong shipyard."

"What does this mean? Mr. Yao wouldn't be planning to engage in warship tourism, right? Liu Decan said while converting the imperial units on the drawings into metric systems in his mind, and studied occupational diseases carefully.

"Isn't it, it's still the oceanographic museum of the Brazilian client before, and I have to do a few 19th-century warships as the main tourist project, I estimate that it shouldn't be illegal to build a warship more than 150 years ago, right?" Yao Fan asked.

Liu Decan took out a cigarette and lit it for Yao Fan, took a puff himself, spit out a smoke ring, and said with a smile: "It's definitely no problem!" Hehe, I didn't expect that with a displacement of three or four hundred tons, the cannon is big and the ship is small, and it is still a warship. ”

"This is the mosquito ship imported by the Beiyang Navy Division before, it is a cannon that can only be driven forward, it must be very rare in the tourist port, my customer said, it must be an original imitation, the cannon must be able to open loudly, o.5 inches that is, 13 mm armor must also have, people are Brazilian billionaires, the pursuit is not only the form, but also the substance!" Yao Fan took a puff of his cigarette and boasted.

"No problem, isn't this 32omm cannon cast? Only 15 times the diameter...... Hehe, just find a factory and a few riflings. Mr. Yao, is this going to be handed over to our factory to imitate? I'm still the same sentence, as long as the host is in place, aren't the drawings ready-made? I'll get you up and running right now. Liu Decan said briskly.

"What if I give you this ship all?" Yao Fan asked.

"Look, Mr. Liu, your factory is an old military unit, and you should be more familiar with the order than me. Where is the best place to customize these hosts, you must know better than me, you help me order, it is better than me staring at the diesel engine factory to run back and forth. Yao Fan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, but if the steam host has not been verified by a professional power engineer, what if there is a problem after the parts are customized and the final assembly is completed? We can't afford it. Liu Decan hesitated.

"Otherwise, you can help me find a ship design unit, review the drawings, see if there are any design problems, and I will pay for labor."

"That's okay, with your words, even if you give me a spaceship, I dare to build it." Liu Decan smiled heartily.

"Mr. Liu, I'm asking one more question, is this ship with artillery really okay?" Yao Fan was not very relieved.

"Well, I'll ask you about the Navy now, and they'll just say it's okay." Liu Decan thought about it.

"Then when you ask, ask about the five-barreled machine gun of Nahaqikais, and try to imitate it, the Brazilian tyrants are rich, so they want to be original." Yao Fandao.

"Okay, I'll help you ask today. As long as imitation is allowed, any hardware factory can get rid of that thing in one day. ”

Yao Fan smiled and left, he didn't care about the ammunition, after all, Li Hongzhang had already paid the British for the first two ships, and the ammunition was universal, so he didn't have to bother.

Next, Yao Fan, in the name of Global Trade Aluminum Company, contacted a cargo ship registered in Costa Rica, which had a load of 15,000 tons and was a container ship with a small tonnage.

Yao Fan negotiated the price with the shipowner, the total weight of 935 tons of goods, about 7o 2o foot containers, was transported to Busan, South Korea for re-export and ship change, a container of 15o yuan, which is more than 10,000 yuan in freight.

But how did the shipowner know that the freighter in Busan, which Yao Fan contacted, was just a stepping stone to deceive people! This situation is generally a breach of contract in the sea transportation, and generally when this happens, the ship will unload the goods at the port of Busan and leave it alone, and the port will deal with it as it is. However, without communication from the Paraguayan side, it is absolutely impossible for the South Korean side to allow you to unload the ship, and the shipowner will cause big trouble.

Not only was the shipowner in the dark, but the Northwest Company also thought that Yao Fan had really communicated with South Korea and would change ships in South Korea to South America.

Of course, Yao Fan will not really transport the goods to South Korea to die, this special unannounced dare to unload the arms at the port, even if you just change ships and transship, the South Korean side will not allow you to put down a cabinet at all, and you will be heavily fined! Yao Fan's idea was to directly cross the designated blood sacrifice after loading the ship and bring the goods back to Yaojiazhuang.

In order not to cause disputes, Yao Fan did not dare to take advantage of the shipping company, so he found a container company in Qingdao and purchased a batch of second-hand 2O-foot containers refurbished from old goods, each for 1ooo yuan, and spent 70,000 yuan. Yao Fan was a little nervous, not knowing if these old cabinets would be judged to be unqualified by Northwest Industry......

After that, Yao Fan ordered ten Hongjiang brand crawler agricultural drilling machines online, spending 15o yuan.

1oo tons of diesel fuel packed in 5oo more than 2oo liter oil drums.

Yao Fan also purchased some foods such as sugar, soybeans, and canned pork, which were all high-calorie foods, which were more effective than eating food for improving the physical quality of soldiers.

In 1875, the price of white sugar in the world fluctuated around 5oo dollars per ton, and the sugar mills basically monopolized in the colonies of the great powers, Yao Fan temporarily chose to avoid entering this industry, this is because the fanaticism and worship of white sugar by the European and American powers is simply overwhelming...... In order to obtain sugar, the United States can allow it to import it duty-free, and it can also instigate various coups d'état in South American countries.

"Buy a hundred tons first, just enough to eat yourself." Yao Fan thought.
