Chapter 349: The Shipyard Fire (2)
Mitsubishi Group's every move in Jiangning will make Chen Yi sensitive. [Full text reading]
After Deputy Director Yan's phone call ended, Zhu Guangliang also called and explained the situation.
His message is more accurate, the ship most hit by the fire is a Panamax bulk carrier, 75,000 deadweight tons, this is a very cost-effective cargo ship, named because it can pass through the 32-meter-wide Panama Canal locks, Jiangnan Shipyard's offer is only 35 million US dollars, more than 1 million cheaper than the offers of South Korea and Japan.
The other three are all "small" ships of 1,100 containers, with a price of about $22 million, and the losses are not large, and they are also insured.
Chen Yi hung up the phone very incomprehensibly. He knew that the Mitsubishi Group had an attempt at Jiangnan Shipyard, but just a fire?
Even if all of them lose 100 million US dollars, for a shipyard with tens of billions of assets, it can't be called a bone-wrenching. It's even harder to get your hands on it.
Out of a sense of vigilance, Chen Yi tidied up his clothes a little, and drove the Raptor to the dock by himself, he wanted to see the situation in the shipyard for himself.
I didn't have to ask for directions, I looked at the place in the sky filled with black smoke, and it didn't take long to encounter the road control.
"You can't drive ahead." A police officer was standing on the side of the road. This time the matter is not small, mainly because the secretary of the municipal party committee wants to make it bigger, so everyone has to cooperate. The work that can be done by joint defense in normal times has to be replaced by the police.
"I'm looking for someone, well, who's in charge?" Chen Yi was wearing yesterday's suit, and he was quite bold when he waved his hand.
The junior police officer replied according to the standard procedure: "We are from the Long Island Police Station, if you have questions about traffic control, you can call ......"
Chen Yi waited patiently for him to finish before asking, "Is Kong Qian inside?" β
"Kong Qian?" The one who stood at the crossing and spoke was often a newcomer to the police station, but the old policeman inside had good ears, and when he only heard his name, he rushed out, looked Chen Yi up and down, and said with a smile: "It's looking for Captain Kong, you'd better call and ask." β
The fire is a matter of firefighting, and it is said that Kong Qian is a member of the Public Security Corps, and it is not directly related. But at this time, Deng Ge has become a mud bodhisattva, and who dares to slip away from the imps below.
"Can you give me a call and tell him that Chen Yi has arrived?" Since the last two mistakes, Chen Yi has changed his past mistakes and decided to be a little more humble than his humble posture to be perfect, so although he can call Deputy Director Yan or even Deng Ge directly, he doesn't want to find a high-ranking person......
Treat yourself as an aggrieved political worker. Chen Yi always comforted himself like this.
The political staff he has seen are all aggrieved - anyone who meets the deputy mayor's eldest nephew will feel aggrieved. As for labels such as the grandson of the country's leader, it is used to make officials at the level of deputy mayors feel aggrieved.
"Wait a minute." The old policeman's action answer can be on the news network, which is also bΔ« by countless reporters. He didn't have the heart to cling to Chen Yi, and he didn't want to offend, so he could really be called neither humble nor arrogant.
ZhengfΗ is really a great place to hone your faith.
Chen Yi smiled in his heart, waiting for the old policeman to report step by step.
The communication in the walkie-talkie stopped at the level of the head of the police station, and the other party said about a sentence of "no blocking", and the old policeman reluctantly let go of the obstacles, and the temperament of the right talent was suddenly lost.
Chen Yi nodded and returned to the car.
The fire started in the dry dock, and a large ship was almost burned through, still being sprayed by seawater, from which the thick black smoke came from. The remaining four damaged ships also staggered, delaying a lot of effort.
The Raptor's large-sized body was like a business card, attracting Deputy Director Yan on the dock. Compared to Dungo's worries, his expression and movements were as diligent as an ape.
"Mr. Xiao Chen." Deputy Director Yan held Chen Yi's hand tightly. Although there is a tendency to vacate the director, Deputy Director Yan is still quite a legitimate director. Among the people who can help, the one he is looking forward to the most is Chen Yi, Chen Zhongguo is too far away, Chen Congyu is too sparse, but he gets along well with this young man.
"What are the consequences?" Chen Yi didn't waste time and asked directly.
"The shipyard has to lose a lot of money. In addition, Mitsubishi Iwasaki Mazen came forward to urge the government to put pressure on the shipyard to speed up the progress and eliminate the hidden dangers......" Deputy Director Yan paused here and thought for a while before continuing: "I heard from the people at the Jiangnan Shipyard that if such a big fire was not man-made, then the insurance company would increase their insurance amount. β
"What will happen?"
"Tens of millions of dollars."
"Is the Jiangnan shipyard in danger of going out of business?"
"Nope."
Chen Yi was finally relieved. He also wants to borrow from such a large heavy industry enterprise. Everywhere you go, the establishment of heavy industry is a great deal of effort and requires very little compensation. If the Jiangnan Shipyard was bought by the Japanese, it would be difficult to rebuild it unless it was bought back.
"But ......"
"What?" Chen Yigang's heart hung up.
Deputy Director Yan couldn't say with certainty: "The fire has affected the docking of nearby ships, and Secretary Sun instructed that priority must be given to meeting the needs of cargo ships coming to Jiangning Port, that ...... In terms of ports, it seems that they want to add container lifting equipment to Jiangbei Port, which will be temporarily leased for half a year to a year. β
"Jiangbei Port seems to be going to be made into a bulk terminal, so they applied accordingly."
"That's right."
"Gangnam Wharf...... Running at full capacity? β
Deputy Director Yan lowered his voice and said, "At most 70%, I've been a little nervous lately, but as far as I know, it's normal for ships to wait at the port." β
Years of experience in criminal investigation have made Deputy Director Yan naturally sharper.
It seems that Mitsubishi has a complete plan.
Jiangnan Terminal was originally a large-scale comprehensive terminal with both bulk and containers, but with the expansion of Jiangning and its hinterland, the economic aggregate of the delta region has risen sharply, and the throughput of the port has also increased. It was in this context that the government wanted to separate the bulk terminal from the container terminal, so it invited bids for the construction of the Jiangbei terminal.
Chen Yi thought to himself, the Mingde Group, which was originally responsible for the construction, was not ready to complete the construction of the terminal, and now it seems that Mitsubishi, which was systematically deceived by Zhu Guangliang, really changed its strategy, but it was not a lonely wait, they were afraid that they not only wanted to take a share of the container market with the largest throughput in Jiangning, but also seemed to want to compete with the Jiangnan terminal.
If Jiangbei Port adds container handling equipment, and the most important thing is to pass the audit of the Municipal Party Committee, then it has the same qualifications as Jiangnan Terminal.
As a new terminal, this is already a very competitive proposition.
In Chen Yi's view, the Mitsubishi Group, which likes Jiangnan Shipyard so much, will obviously not be satisfied with the profits of the port business.
Chen Yi stared at the dry dock for a long time, and suddenly asked Deputy Director Yan, "Is there a way to stop it?" β
Deputy Director Yan was stunned for a moment, understood, and said, "Secretary Sun personally gave the order, hehe." β
"How did they convince Secretary Sun?" In Chen Yi's impression, Sun Maoxin is not a very capable official. He has strong bureaucratic habits and is a good gentleman in his bones, but he is given a desire for power by his status. If it weren't for such a complicated environment in Jiangning, he would have been a tough party secretary elsewhere.
Of course, this also shows Sun Maoxin's character from another side, he is not a consistent principled party cadre, and it is normal for this kind of person to degenerate.
After all, Deputy Director Yan is a person in the officialdom, and no matter how bold he is, he can't talk about the secretary of the municipal party committee on a spacious and unmanned wharf, especially such a convincing statement as "persuasion".
He was silent, and the officials who were waiting dozens of meters away rushed up.
The people present were all low-ranking officials, and it was rare to have the opportunity to come into contact with the direct members of the Chen family. Especially Chen Yi, those who know the inside story know that this is already Chen Zhong's designated heir.
Just looking at the distribution rights of the Chen Group, you can see the clues, such as Kong Qian and others, who still have a considerable understanding of Chen Yi's methods.
Deng Ge was also on the dock, the dignified secretary of the political and legal committee, nervous like a young man preparing to confess. In fact, his confession last night had failed.
"Mr. Xiao Chen! Come from afar, come from afar, let's have a light meal together at noon, and give us ...... by the way" Deng Ge swallowed the words "guiding work", and he was already incoherent.
Sun Maoxin's strength in the Standing Committee is not strong, so it is relatively difficult to expelle a secretary of the Political and Legal Committee alone. But his unusual performance had to make Dungo hesitate whether it meant that he was completely in league with a certain party.
Ho family? Or the Chen family?
Dungo is looking for a protector for himself.
"I don't have to eat, I'm going to come and see. Director Yan, I still have a few questions. Chen Yi smiled hypocritically, humble as a little white cat, carefully hiding the hind paws of the dead mouse.
Deputy Director Yan followed Chen Yi without hesitation, and anyone present would make this choice.
The two got into the pickup together, and Dungo watched them leave, looking several years older in an instant.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, if there is anything, you can tell it." Deputy Director Yan sat in the passenger seat and expressed his loyalty. 1,000 years ago, this kind of behavior would have been classified as shameless, but now officials who want to be promoted are so shameless that it does not explain the true moral standard of those who show loyalty.
"I think that allowing Jiangbei Terminal to conduct container business will cause the loss of state-owned assets."
Deputy Director Yan said without hesitation: "What about the bulk business?" β
"We still have to be quite wary of the Japanese." Chen Yi tried not to give direct instructions, which was to avoid the problem of vows and beliefs.
"Understood. Specific cΓ o as aspect ......"
"It's mostly up to you."
"Then ......" Deputy Director Yan was silent for a while, and then replied, "Let's use razing to defeat raze." β
Before Chen Yi asked, he said directly: "I know some gang leaders who beg for a living on the docks, and there are many ways to make money. If they were all sent to the Jiangbei wharf, the Japanese would have nothing to gain. β
"Oh?"
"If no one cares, they even pump the unloading of containers, and the price is higher than the regular income...... I am afraid that the Mingde Group will obstruct it. β
Foreign companies have a certain influence on domestic officialdom, but they can only indirectly influence the underworld through officialdom.
"Got it." Chen Yi has long been accustomed to not replying to accurate words, but it makes Deputy Director Yan feel familiar.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yi drove the car to the vicinity of the old house.
Deputy Director Yan looked at his posture and went home satisfied, for him, it was enough to have such an indirect backer.
