Chapter 136 Leaders are very concerned
After returning from the visit to Donghai Shipyard, Xu Haibao began to refer to other shipyards in the province according to the itinerary agreed earlier. These shipyards are all very enthusiastic about Xu Haibao, a big customer, without exception.
It's just that for Xu Haibao, who customizes salvage boats, after some shipyards have referred to it, he dispelled the idea of continuing to cooperate with him. The reason is very simple, these shipyards do not even have tungsten for 10,000-ton ships, and it is unlikely that they want to build salvage ships.
As for subcontracting, how could Xu Haibao agree. After a turn, the shipyards that are qualified to take orders also begin to calculate the price. Through comparison, Xu Haibao can basically judge how much money needs to be prepared for a custom salvage ship.
Those shipyards that obviously slaughtered him as a fat sheep, Xu Haibao also directly kicked him out of the shipyard practice to be selected. Finally, according to the shortlisted shipyards, the shipyards that are truly strong and can ensure delivery within the limited construction period will be selected.
After some comparison and screening, Xu Haibao and Tang Xingyou and others carefully compared and analyzed, and finally succeeded in winning the order of the shipyard, or the Donghai shipyard that carried out a careful design of the salvage ship.
According to the latest design drawings of the salvage ship provided by Donghai Shipyard, on the basis of Xu Haibao's original design, Donghai Shipyard has also made some small changes. In addition to improving the living space of the salvage ship, it also increases the speed of the salvage ship.
Although the cost given by Donghai Shipyard is not the lowest among the shortlisted shipyards, in Xu Haibao's view, Donghai Shipyard spends the most effort on salvaging ships. It can be seen that Donghai Shipyard has really done its best to receive orders.
Spending a little more money can ensure that the salvage ship is manufactured in quality and quantity within a limited time, and Xu Haibao is still willing to pay more. As long as the salvage ship can be delivered early, Xu Haibao believes that the extra money can be earned back as soon as possible.
In order to let Liu Chenglin gain more benefits in this matter, Xu Haibao, who made the decision, planned to let Liu Chenglin notify Donghai Shipyard in advance. In this way, the senior management of Donghai Shipyard will naturally feel that they owe Liu Chenglin a favor.
What's more, as the deputy chief of the first shipping section of the East China Sea Branch, the leaders of the East China Sea Branch are actually very concerned about this matter. If they learn of Xu Haibao's decision, I believe they will also be sure that Liu Chenglin played some role in it.
After all, many people know that Xu Haibao has a lot of respect for this old company commander. Even if in fact, Liu Chenglin did not interfere with Xu Haibao in this matter. But other people don't know about this situation!
After receiving a call from Xu Haibao, Liu Chenglin was also speechless and said, "Do you need me to notify you of this kind of thing?"
"Company commander, don't bother the second master! When you were asked to be this middleman, you should start and finish well. There is just one situation, this signing process, I want to be as low-key as possible, and it is best not to have any signing ceremony. ”
Liu Chenglin, who heard this, was also surprised and said, "Why?"
"Company commander, the gun shoots the first bird. Although the salvage ship is customized in the name of the Xiangjiang Company, you should know that my situation is only afraid that I can't hide it from someone who cares. Just for the matter of booking a ship, many leaders have called me recently!"
In order to win Xu Haibao's order, some shipyards have not put much effort into it. In the past, the so-called 'leaders' who had nothing to do with Xu Haibao wanted to make friends with him, and even invited Xu Haibao to make so-called investments.
In short, taking the opportunity of this ship-ordering, Xu Haibao also truly understands that the enthusiasm of leaders to pull investment is really everywhere!
Faced with the helplessness revealed in Xu Haibao's words, Liu Chenglin, who had been working for a while, said with a smile: "It's a good thing for you to have so many leaders who care." At least your investment, many leaders are now very concerned!"
"Thank you! I think it's better to have less of this kind of concern. When the Tokai shipyard was notified, the company commander also bothered to tell them. I will pay the funds for the order according to the contract, and the salvage ship must be built at the time specified in the contract.
As with the previous island investment, I will still hire a lawyer to participate in the contract signing process. If they fail to fulfill the contract at a later stage, I will also unceremoniously file a corresponding lawsuit. Correspondingly, if I have violated the rules, they can also sue me!"
"Is this necessary?"
"Company commander, you should know my character, when it comes to business, I want to do business. I'm sure they should be able to understand. This situation is also common in foreign shipyards. The spirit of contract must be there after all!"
The two negotiated on the phone, and Liu Chenglin also conveyed his willingness to sign a contract with Donghai Shipyard on behalf of Xu Haibao. Hearing the news, Du Yuexin, the boss of the shipyard, was also very excited: "Section Chief Liu, Mr. Xu really decided to cooperate with our ship?"
"Yes, I communicated with him on the phone before. Although the cost given by your factory is a bit expensive, he thinks that your factory has good technology and has put a lot of thought into this salvage ship, so he finally decided to hand over the order to you.
It's just that in terms of the construction period, you must complete it according to the time agreed in the contract. If you fail to meet the deadline, you may face the consequences of default. The soldier I brought with me is still unambiguous in business!"
"In business, it is natural to do things according to the contract. As long as the funds are in place, we will be able to start work immediately!"
"Okay, I'll pass on your words! Then I wish you a smooth cooperation in advance!"
After conveying some of Xu Haibao's requests, Du Yuexin originally wanted to make the signing ceremony more grand. As a result, now that he listened to Liu Chenglin's suggestion, Du Yuexin could only save this process and find a way to build the ship first.
As Liu Chenglin said, if the Donghai Shipyard can complete the project on time, it will build the salvage ship they have improved for Xu Haibao. When the salvage ship starts sea trials and holds a ceremony to go to sea, there is no problem in thinking about it.
The most important thing is that with this cooperation, if Xu Haibao is willing to add more salvage ships in the future, I believe that he will also give priority to cooperating with Donghai Shipyard. For Tokai Shipyard, with this experience, we will be able to take on similar orders next time.
Although the private shipwreck salvage industry is not yet prosperous in China. But Du Yuexin knows how much that with the first person to eat crabs, there will be more and more investors who will invest in this industry in the future.
As a shipyard that has built such ships, I believe that those investors who later want to customize salvage ships will also give priority to Donghai Shipyard. Invisibly, this is equivalent to adding a new batch order of ship type to Donghai Shipyard.
Still hired Jinyan Law Firm, in the presence of the lawyer and the leaders of Donghai Company, Xu Haibao and Du Yuexin signed the two contracts and exchanged photos. Seeing this scene, the senior management of Donghai Shipyard was also very excited.
This large order with a total price of 120 million yuan is undoubtedly the most expensive business that Donghai Shipyard has received since its establishment. According to the contract, after the signing ceremony, Xu Haibao also paid a 30% advance deposit.
Later, when the shell of the salvage ship is successfully finalized, a deposit of 20% will be paid. The remaining 40% deposit will be paid after all facilities are installed and the inspection is confirmed. The last 10% will be paid when there is no problem with the launch of the ship.
In general, in the process of shipbuilding in Donghai Shipyard, Xu Haibao will also hire corresponding quality inspection personnel to conduct detailed inspections of the ships. In the event of a discrepancy with the contract, we will also communicate with the shipyard.
If the shipyard does not add and improve, the follow-up funds will naturally not be paid. Even according to the terms of the contract, Xu Haibao will file a lawsuit to get back the deposit he paid in advance. If this happens, it will also be very unfavorable for Tokai Shipyard.
In a word, 'no gold and steel diamonds, no porcelain work', no matter how much Donghai Shipyard promised before. In such a matter as shipbuilding, Xu Haibao will not allow bragging and indiscriminate filling.
Looking at Xu Haibao, who paid so quickly, Du Yuexin, as the boss, was also very happy and said: "Mr. Xu, happy cooperation! Please rest assured with your team, I will personally serve as the technical director of this ship and supervise every construction process."
In addition, I have contacted in advance about military steel. Tomorrow the shipyard will come to work and your ship will start being built. Please believe in the sincerity and strength of our cooperation, I believe that this cooperation will be very pleasant!"
Mr. Du is also from a military industry and knows the importance of quality. My ship is going to be on a mission to go to sea in the future, and if there is a problem with the quality, you know that it will lead to fatal consequences.
I also believe that as long as your factory builds my ship well, it will become a well-known classic ship type in the industry. Then in the future, we will sail around the world's oceans with this ship, and other countries will also recognize our shipbuilding strength.
Correspondingly, in the future, those foreign buyers may also consider choosing salvage ships made in Huaxia. As long as you build this ship with quality and quantity, my team and I will definitely live up to your hard work!"
In the future, when Xu Haibao's salvage team becomes famous in the world, the salvage ship driven by his team will inevitably enter the sight of various countries. As far as Xu Haibao's understanding is concerned, the scientific and technological content of his salvage ship is no longer inferior to that of well-known foreign shipyards.
With such technology, the cost is cheaper than that of foreign countries. It is believed that such salvage ships will also be very popular in the overseas salvage industry. As for his salvage team, Xu Haibao feels that it is a matter of time before he becomes famous in the world.
Even Xu Haibao has considered that in the future, at the appropriate time, the salvage team will be equipped with a ship for supply and protection. Having a support vessel on standby will also increase the safety factor of the salvage team.
On the other hand, Tang Xingyou and others, who accompanied Xu Haibao to visit the shipyard, saw that the salvage ship was finally customized. All they had to do was wait for the ship to be delivered. Once the salvage ship is in place, they will be able to sail the world's oceans.
In fact, having been with Xu Haibao for so long, they are also looking forward to going to sea to explore the treasures under the sea. This expectation is not only because there is money to be made, but also to satisfy their adventure plot.
It is rare for a group of old comrades-in-arms to reunite after retiring, and if they can make a name for themselves by exploring the treasures of shipwrecks under the sea, they may also feel extremely honored. At that time, it will also let foreign salvage companies know that there are also a group of professional marine treasure hunters in Huaxia!
