The staff looked confused, looking at several math elders, arguing over eight blackboards, like a shrew scolding the street, which simply subverted his three views.

As for how the eight blackboards were distributed, Zhou Jimin had no way of knowing.

After returning to the farm, Zhou Jimin locked himself in the room again and told the clerks not to disturb him if there was no emergency.

"Director Zhou, what about your three meals a day?"

"No, I've prepared bread in my room, you can do it yourself, I'll take care of myself."

When Xiao Lin and the other clerks heard this, they looked at their leaders with embarrassed expressions.

Looking at the closed door, the leader was also speechless.

After Hua Lao and the others came back, when they heard that Zhou Jimin was so positive, they just smiled bitterly and did not stop it.

Because I can't stop it, I'll just let him go.

In the space, Zhou Jimin turned on the furious mode, and he was bound to write his thesis in the fastest time.

Although these days, he has not exposed the root number seventeenth rank vest, but everyone is not stupid.

Every time you can see Zhou Jimin asking questions, I naturally understand that he has deep research in many fields.

Previously, Zhou Jimin published papers through the root number seventeen vests, which involved many fields in mathematics.

In the eyes of the outside world, these vests should be several people, but I didn't expect them to be the same person.

Although Zhou Jimin did not admit it, everyone acquiesced.

It's just that the math is pure, and everyone didn't poke the matter.

At the same time, because the exchange meeting is still going on, everyone is busy with their own research, how can there be any leisure to gossip about those small things?

It didn't take much time for several papers to come out.

After rechecking it a few times, he put the paper aside.

After writing his thesis, he turned around and devoted himself to the study of soundproofing materials.

For the time being, the aviation development materials have been completed, and the engine materials with stronger thrust are in the next plan.

At this stage, it is the sound insulation that is the most important.

Who wouldn't want to have the same quiet experience on a plane as they do when flying with a Rolls-Royce?

He wasn't talking about the Rolls-Royce of the sixties, but the Rolls-Royce of later generations.

In his previous life, he had the privilege of riding a Rolls-Royce car, which was his boss's car.

At that time, he was sitting in the co-pilot, and in the back seat was his boss and his Xiaomi.

After the destination, he was ready to get out of the car, but the driver asked him to wait first.

Sure enough, it took almost five minutes before the boss opened the car door and got out of the car.

And the moment he opened the door, Zhou Jimin heard it clearly, and it turned out that there was music in the back seat.

Nest grass!

The back seat was separated from the front driver's seat, but he didn't hear anything at all.

The driver was quiet, and he didn't speak himself.

After Xiaomi got out of the car, Zhou Jimin noticed that the other party's black silk had turned into jeans.

So, this is music and car shock, but he is sitting in the co-pilot, and he doesn't hear any movement at all.

He didn't know if all Rolls-Royces had such excellent sound insulation, but the Rolls-Royce he rode in at that time was definitely a top existence.

But Zhou Jimin inquired about the silent design of Rolls-Royce and found that this thing actually added 130 kilograms of soundproofing materials, which directly made him speechless.

The weight of a Rolls-Royce is about 2.5 tons, and the soundproofing alone accounts for 130 kilograms of material.

Put on an airplane, which is naturally not allowed.

Therefore, Zhou Jimin started from many materials such as heat and sound insulation ultra-fine glass fiber wool, ultra-lightweight environmental protection flame retardant damping and sound insulation composite aviation materials, low-density graphene aerogel sound insulation materials, melamine resin foam sound-absorbing sponge and many other materials.

There is only one goal, and that is to make the soundproofing system as good as possible.

The noise reduction effect of the Mercedes-Benz sedan does not quite meet his requirements, or rather, it is his choice in desperation.

But after today's paper on topological space theory came out, he felt that as a mathematician, he should not stand still, but bravely challenge difficulties.

After he completed two sets of experiments, the alarm clock on his mobile phone suddenly rang at this time.

He had no choice but to stop what he was doing and go to the wind tunnel laboratory on the other side to check the engine.

The two engines have undergone preliminary laboratory testing, and from the test results, all materials are fully in line with the laboratory requirements.

Now it's time to take it outside for a final test.

In order to maximize the safety and power testing of aero engines, he built two wind tunnel laboratories directly in space.

It completely simulates the weather conditions of the aircraft flying in the sky, such as blizzards, heavy rains and other weather.

This is not a simple test, but must reach a certain value of flight simulation data before entering the next step of assembly.

In the experimental plan, Zhou Jimin planned to let the engine go through at least 500 hours of rigorous aircraft testing before leaving the test bench.

As we all know, the thrust of commercial engines is generally stronger than that of fighter jets.

However, the latter's engine is much smaller in size and weight than the former.

In the middle, it involves factors such as the duct ratio, boost ratio, and combustion efficiency of the engine.

Wanting more thrust and getting smaller and lighter engine size is indeed the pursuit of fighter jets and commercial aircraft.

But the two are not the same.

The engine designed and built by Zhou Jimin is naturally stronger than another aircraft engine in the space, but the volume and weight are much smaller, and the combustion efficiency will be higher.

However, the combustion efficiency has only increased by three percent.

After a thousand hours of continuous testing, he needed more jet fuel.

The aircraft equipped with this engine is not a commercial airliner, nor is it a fighter jet, transport aircraft, etc., but a small aircraft similar to a private jet.

According to the drawings, it will be a luxury private airliner that can carry eight people, and it will be equipped with a bedroom for resting.

But other than that, there is not much difference from the private luxury airliners of later generations.

After all, he doesn't need much indoor space, and he even needs a fighter jet.

Because most of the time he just needs its ability to fly, not to enjoy its luxuries or something.

But the fighter is still too pitiful, and once discovered, it is easy to be targeted.

Therefore, in fact, in the next stage, invisibility, noise reduction, etc. are the directions he should consider more.

After turning on the various instruments in the wind tunnel laboratory, setting up the simulated snow and ice conditions, and setting the alarm clock, he left the space.

Soundproofing materials, wait for him to come back, and then continue the experiment.

An oil processing plant on the outskirts of Wudu receives hundreds of tons of crude oil from different places every day.

Today, however, they were notified that in the short term, the supply of crude oil was stopped.

"Fack, how can you stop supplying? If you do that, you're going to hell, you know? ”

John, the factory manager, received a report from the employees below, and he hurriedly called his partner for consultation.

However, the latter regrettably informed him, and also informed him that he had said it yesterday, but you didn't listen.

Bitch, when did you notify labor and management?

John was so angry that he scolded as hard as he wanted.

Who knows, the other party suddenly hung up on him, and John was even more furious.

At this time, the crude oil supplier on the other side, a steamship shipping company, Douglas hung up helplessly, shrugged at Zhou Jimin on the opposite side and said:

"That's how hot-tempered John is."

"We don't talk about these unhappy things, Peter, the ship of crude oil you want will arrive in Hong Kong the day after tomorrow....."

"Should I pay the deposit?"

The deposit that Douglas said is not the first deposit, but the second deposit after the arrival of crude oil at the port, and the final payment is that the crude oil will be fully received after delivery.

This order is an order that Zhou Jimin negotiated with John the day before yesterday and confirmed it yesterday.

The reason why he will come to the other party again today is naturally to hope that the other party will deliver 2,000 tons of crude oil today.

After all, experiments had already begun in space, and he didn't want to stop the test because there was no aviation crude oil.

Just now, Douglas called John to inform the other party that the supply of crude oil for the next half month had stopped.

After all, Zhou Jimin is a big customer, and he ate a shipload of crude oil in one bite, and he bought it at a high price.

At this stage, the international crude oil price is two dollars a barrel, and Zhou Jimin directly took out two dollars and three dollars to buy all the crude oil.

And a total of 2 million pounds of crude oil, a total of 300,000 tons, just a 0.3 dollar markup, can make Douglas a crazy profit of 600,000 dollars.

Such a crazy profit, not to mention just letting Douglas inform John that these old friends would stop supplying for half a month, even if they no longer cooperated, he had no opinion at all.

You know, $600,000 is enough for him to live a better life as a rich man.

When Zhou Jimin heard this, the birds didn't have the words of the other party, so he took out thirty-one dollars and handed it to the other party, and said directly:

"For these two thousand tons of crude oil, I will also collect it at the price of two yuan and three, and one ship per month in the future, this can be contracted, but the price must be paid according to the price of international crude oil.....

2,000 tons of crude oil, a total of 140,000 barrels, after all, one barrel of crude oil is 300 catties, which is equal to 150 kilograms.

So, he only needs to pay thirty dollars and six cents.

For the remaining four cents, he still asked the other party for change.

"OK, no problem."

For the high-roller who was delivered to the door, Douglas had no reason to turn it away, and happily agreed.

drove a big truck and made several consecutive trips, and Zhou Jimin transported 2,000 tons of crude oil away.

No way, he had to put on a show.

And the day after tomorrow, he is going to take over a supertanker, pay the final payment, and then sail to the open sea.

Renting a factory in Wudu is the most annoying thing.

If he purchases oil tankers directly, it will be very simple, and he doesn't have to think about the affairs of the fog capital.

All you need to do is transfer the crude oil to his tanker, and then drive it to the open sea, and you can directly retract it into the space.

However, such a supertanker is not so easy to buy, after all, this kind of tanker is at least a 300,000-ton supertanker.

With a body length of at least 300 meters, it can be regarded as a giant tanker.

Although he forged himself the identity of a Peter Wudu person, it was not so easy to buy a large oil tanker of such tonnage.

Therefore, he is now only receiving a 50,000-ton tanker, and he still turns an unknown number of defective products.

But he couldn't help it, it was cheap, and it just so happened that he was in a hurry to use it, so he could only do it.

Therefore, in the next period of time, when the crude oil arrives the day after tomorrow, he must go back and forth several times a day before he can transfer the two million barrels of crude oil.

Because of this incident, Zhou Jimin's sweep of several major castles was almost delayed.

During the day off, in the eyes of everyone, he never went out.

However, no one left the farm.

After all, the air quality on the farm side is guaranteed, but not necessarily in other parts of the fog capital.

The day has passed, and today is the time for the lecture.

The same five-day lecture time is a bit different from the previous exchange meeting, because there will be more graduate students and doctoral students.

Most of these people are students at local universities in London, and most of them are also interested in mathematics, or are math geniuses.

Zhou Jimin was invited to give three lectures, and that's it, he still refused two games and was shoehorned by the other party.

The two leaders also hope that he can follow up all five lectures, because in this way, he can attract some Chinese graduate students.

There is a shortage of intellectuals in the mainland, so if you can, it is definitely a very good deal to attract more students back to the mainland.

However, before Zhou Jimin could start the lecture, he was called to the lounge next to him by Roger Penrose to chat.

The latter first exchanged a few simple greetings, then praised Zhou Jimin, and then began to talk about the thesis of the day.

"The paper has been written, and I have written and sent it."

"That's great, it's good to have you in the math world."

This compliment made Zhou Jimin a little embarrassed.

But the other party's next words made him stunned, because the other party was inviting him to stay in the fog capital.

The University of Oxford has also issued a job offer as a professor in the Department of Mathematics, and if he is willing to join, he can take up his post immediately.

"No, when did the work at Oxford become so easy? And a full professorship? ”

He couldn't help but be surprised, Roger Penrose smiled slightly, "We have always been like this for talents, in China, there is a saying called eclectic talent?" ”

"At Oxford, we have the same thirst for talent."

Hearing the other party's answer, Zhou Jimin was even more surprised, and asked rhetorically:

"I understand this very well, but I don't know one thing very clearly, you seem to be working at the University of Texas in the ugly country now, right?"

The other party is British, and Zhou Jimin knows this.

But the other party works at the University of Texas, and he only found out about it when he was introduced at the exchange meeting a few days ago.

At this stage, some mathematicians went to Moscow, and most of the remaining mathematicians went to Princeton.

In fact, you don't have to wait long, around the 80s, most mathematicians around the world will go to Princeton.

Especially after the 90s, Princeton was the center of mathematics in the world because there were so many top mathematicians here.

"Yes, I do teach at the University of Texas, but I'll be back next year."

Roger Penrose was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed.

"Actually, it doesn't have much to do with whether I teach at Oxford University, not to mention that I'll be back next year, I'm just going to study and exchange in the ugly country for three years."

After graduating from Cambridge University in 1957, he joined the faculty at Oxford University.

In recent years, I went to the University of Texas for an exchange, but I didn't lie.

"It's a bit sudden, I need to think about it."

Zhou Jimin nodded, but he didn't refuse or agree at the first time, because he didn't want to make the next thing more complicated because he refused directly.

All you need to do is hold off the other party and return to the mainland immediately after the lecture is over.

Afterwards, he wrote a letter informing him that he needed to return to the mainland urgently, and said that he would seriously consider the other party's invitation.

Seeing this, Roger Penrose still did not give up, but explained the situation with a smile.

"Actually, you've been here for a few days, and the other day you were at Oxford University for a whistleblowing exchange meeting....."

"I believe you also have a certain understanding of our school, not to mention the rest, our environment here is still very good....."

"Also, we have a great math atmosphere here, so you can continue your research to your heart's content......"

For Zhou Jimin, a rising star in mathematics, the University of Oxford is obviously very urgent.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Jimin didn't express his position, but just said that he still needed to think about it.

After leaving, Zhou Jimin gave a speech directly in the lecture hall.

Although he was very reluctant to give such a speech, he was still very surprised to see that the classroom was full.

Especially those Chinese, he is very warm in his heart.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Jimin from the capital of Huaguo, an ordinary mathematics student, today I want to talk about ....."

He didn't introduce much about himself, just a few words, and he began to get to the point.

The students in the audience could understand at first, but in less than five minutes, they were all confused.

You know, most of the people who come here to listen to the lectures are graduate students or above, but they don't understand any of them.

Only a few geniuses, or professors, can keep up with Zhou Jimin's thinking.

No way, although the topic of the latter is not very profound, but chatting and chatting, he did not list most of the simple formulas, let alone write down the calculation process clearly.

It's a result directly, and then it's the next knowledge point, and it's strange that they can understand it.

"Is he really a student from Beijing? Why does he speak English so natively? Why can't I understand the math he says? ”

"Looks like you're the same age, right? Why is he speaking above and I'm listening below? ”

"When did the mainland have excellent geniuses? I'm still staying in the mainland, alas, it's better to come out early. ”

In the lecture hall, a group of people unconsciously whispered to each other.

Anyway, I can't understand it, so if I don't chat, what else can I do?

Math class is like that, in the beginning, a lot of people think they are awesome, or for other reasons, and then choose math class.

It wasn't until he was hit that he gave up.

Mathematics is a language that is said to be able to have a conversation with God, and who can understand it if it is not a genius?

In later generations, many high school students, especially senior high school students, some of their classmates had almost 140 points or perfect scores in mathematics.

These are people who are relatively good at math, but only relatively.

Even more awesome are the small group of people who participate in math competitions or win prizes directly.

Soon, Zhou Jimin finished today's lecture and gave everyone the opportunity to ask questions.

But fortunately, the first few people asked academic questions, until the fifth white girl stood up and said excitedly:

"Hi Professor, do you know Root Number Seventeen? He should be one of your scholars in China, and I have read a lot of papers about him, and it is amazing, and I admire him very, very much....."

The girl chattered a lot, excited and nervous, which made everyone in the lecture hall laugh.

Obviously, the mood of this white girl is understandable to everyone.

At the same time, I am also very curious, after all, in this era, young people should chase stars, and there are also star-chasing students in the mathematics classroom of Oxford University, and they are chasing a Chinese mathematics professor, which is really incredible.

In fact, in Great Britain in the sixties, pop music was already very popular.

For example, the most popular Beatles band in recent years, the songs they sang became popular all over the world, and they occupied the top five singles on the Billboard chart.

This should be the pursuit of most young people.

Zhou Jimin was also very curious, after all, this white girl looked very young, with fair skin and delicate appearance.

Without waiting for him to answer, Michael Attia in the front row suddenly stood up and explained with a smile:

"Actually, Gen No. 17 is one of Professor Zhou Jimin's pen names, and in addition, Wang Dalong and Li Erhu are also Professor Zhou's pen names."

Airplanes!

Everyone in the lecture hall suddenly began to discuss.

Everyone looked at Zhou Jimin's gaze, full of shock and excitement, and even many people screamed.

The white girl was the most surprised, and she was even more agitated, and ran down with a red face.

came to Zhou Jimin, bouncing and jumping, behaving like a little fan girl, unable to speak for a long time with nervousness.

But she looked at Zhou Jimin with tears in her eyes, her lips trembled, she wanted to hug and talk, but she couldn't control herself at all.

The latter was very moved, he didn't expect that he would have such a little fan girl.

So he smiled softly and took the initiative to open his arms.

The other party immediately screamed excitedly, and then threw himself into his arms.

"I like you very much, the paper you wrote is so perfect, you are so genius...."

The white girl was talking incoherently, Zhou Jimin hugged the other party for a while, then took the initiative to let go, took a small step back, looked at the other party and smiled:

"Thank you, but I think you're also a genius, you look like my sister, you should only be sixteen or seventeen years old, right?"

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who can read his published papers is definitely a genius.

After all, whether in the mainland or elsewhere, students studying in universities are generally around the age of eighteen or nineteen.

And his dissertations can basically be understood only at the level of a doctor or above, and even many parts that are too in-depth may not be understood by a doctorate.

And the white girl in front of her looked about as young as Zhou Shuqing, and her face was too tender.

Westerners are generally precocious, especially girls, thirteen or fourteen years old, no different from seventeen or eighteen years old in China.

Of course, once Westerners get married, they age very quickly, and after the age of twenty-five, they are no different from their thirties and forties.

"Wow, how did you guess I'm seventeen? Could it be witchcraft from the East? Count melons? ”

It's a fortune telling, what is a melon?

However, looking at the surprised white girl, Zhou Jimin scolded him, but did not answer the other party's question.

The other party's question is not simple, but it is not complicated either.

After taking the blackboard, Zhou Jimin wrote the formula for half of the blackboard, and then said:

"There are three ideas for solving the problem, the formulas are all on this, you can refer to it, I won't write about the calculation process, the next classmate."

Everyone in the audience watched in amazement, and many people didn't understand where these formulas came from, let alone the calculation process.

O God!

The white girl nodded frantically with grateful, adoring eyes, and the smile on her face showed that she understood, so she did not ask any more questions.

Then there were a lot of people asking questions, and until the lecture time was over, and when it was lunch time, there were still many people who raised their hands to ask questions.

There are still a lot of geniuses in Oxford University, but there are so many people on the scene, and the number of geniuses is averaged, so it will appear that there are few geniuses.

"I don't like to drag the teacher, the class will be out at the point, I will have a lecture tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, everyone will ask questions then, thank you for your time, after class."

Zhou Jimin said a word, and then packed up his things and prepared to leave.

When he came out of the classroom, the white girl blocked him in the hallway, saying that she wanted to invite him to dinner.

Western culture is relatively open and generous, but it also depends on people.

Obviously, this white girl named Megan should not be from the conservative aristocracy.

"Thank you for the invitation, but no, I still have work to do, next time."

This next time, it's just a polite remark.

But in Meghan's opinion, it was to agree to her invitation, so she walked away.

"Jimin is still as popular as ever, even the little girl in London likes you so much."

Hua Lao, Duan Xuefu and others just happened to see this scene, and immediately joked with a smile.

"Of course, I'm so handsome, isn't it normal to be popular?"

Everyone laughed and came to the school road, and after getting in the car, they asked about Zhou Jimin being called by Roger Penrose to the lounge to chat.

In this regard, Zhou Jimin did not hide it, but confessed directly.

But Duan Xuefu heard that he didn't explicitly refuse, and his old face suddenly pulled down.

Chang Zhenji, who was straightforward, said bluntly, why not refuse? Do you really want to stay here?

Zhou Jimin rolled his eyes and said:

"Don't say that I can't bear my daughter-in-law and the motherland, let alone those righteous things, is the environment of Wudu suitable for living?"

"Then why don't you just refuse?"

Hua Lao glanced at Lao Chang, "Are you afraid of being targeted?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately came back to their senses.

Unlike other international students, Zhou Jimin at this time, to a certain extent, he is similar to Qian Lao, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a national warrior.

It's just that he's still too young, so he's often overlooked.

However, in the eyes of foreigners, many of Zhou Jimin's scientific research achievements cannot be concealed.

Even if foreign people don't know that Zhou Jimin is a computer developer, just his recent achievements in mathematics are enough to make those foreigners excited.

After all, a few days ago, many math people said that the next Fields Medal winner is none other than Zhou Jimin.

This kind of remarks is completely different from the calls of previous sessions, and it is more categorical.

The cries also overshadowed Grodendick, Smale and others.

You know, these people were strong contenders in the last edition.

In this way, if Zhou Jimin directly rejects Roger Penrose, it will inevitably make other universities such as Oxford University even more crazy.

Don't stop until you reach your goal!

When the time comes, it will be Zhou Jimin himself who will be annoyed, and even Hua Lao and they will be entangled and unable to get out.

Therefore, although the method of procrastination is old-fashioned, it is easy to use.

After thinking about this, everyone didn't mention it again.

Duan Xuefu himself was flushed, full of shame, he didn't trust his disciple just now, and suspected that Zhou Jimin wanted to stay in the fog capital of the flower world, and his old face was a little unbearable.

Fortunately, everyone is not mentioning this stubble, and it is even if the page is turned over.

He thought that after returning to the farm, he would apologize to Zhou Jimin and have a good chat about the thought class.

As a result, when the latter returned to the farm, he locked himself up again.

As soon as he asked, Zhou Jimin said that it was about Hangfa, and Lao Duan was speechless.

After all, he doesn't know much about machinery, and even Hua Lao can't reach it.

Although Hua Lao was the leader of the computer research institute before, computers and aero engines are two different things.

Besides, Hua Lao is in his fifties, can he compete with Zhou Jimin, who is in his early twenties?

Not to mention that there is no comparison, even when Hua Lao was young, he was not responsible for following up so many research projects at the same time.

And Zhou Jimin also takes care of his family very much, which no one can compare.

In the space, the two engines have stopped.

It lasted hundreds of hours of operation, during which it experienced many bad weather such as wind and rain, but the engine still ran well.

There is no change in even many splicing interfaces, just like the previous splicing.

The splicing of the engine is a technical work, and in the outside world, the splicing technology and equipment are several times more expensive than the value of the titanium aluminum alloy itself.

This is also one of the obstacles affecting the development of the mainland's civil aviation industry.

But in space, he is a god, so the stitching technology is much better than the outside world.

It's just a conjoined baby, the same as if it hasn't been spliced.

And Zhou Jimin is naturally very familiar with the splicing place, and he can also check it in depth, so he naturally understands it very thoroughly.

It took most of the day, inside and out, to carefully check the engine three times, and he confirmed that the engine was qualified.

After the engine is qualified, the next step is to assemble it with the aircraft, and after the assembly is completed, the next step is to conduct a complete test

After all this is done, the first flight test.

In the case of civil airliners, it is necessary to confirm the route, and it generally takes about a year of test flight before it is officially put into operation.

But Zhou Jimin doesn't need to be so troublesome, just make sure that the plane can fly normally, after all, the normal cruising altitude of this aircraft is more than 10,000 meters, surpassing the current civil airliner.

In addition, the global civil airliner market is still very small, and there are too few planes in the sky.

Therefore, Zhou Jimin doesn't need to test routes or anything like that, and besides, he doesn't have any fixed routes.

That night, many people came to the farm, all of whom were representatives of Lao Maozi, Chou Guo, Germania and other countries.

The purpose of these people coming here is also very simple, that is, to invite Zhou Jimin to give lectures at universities in their respective countries.

The speech was just a disguise, and after being politely rejected by Zhou Jimin, it became clear that they wanted Zhou Jimin to go to their university to do research.

The temptation to give is also very great, villas, half a million dollars, millions of dollars in scientific research project funds, and so on.

For these temptations, Zhou Jimin still smiled and said the procrastination trick, and then left with an excuse.

"Dealing with these people is a complete waste of time, so let's leave the room as little as possible in the future."

Originally, he came out of the room, preparing to leave the farm openly and receive crude oil, but who knew that he was stopped by these people.

Since this is the case, then he will try to avoid such a way of travel in the future.

Anyway, he is a research maniac, and in the eyes of the leader, Duan Xuefu and others, he has formed a fixed impression, and no one will bother him, he is happy to be idle.

As usual, he quietly left the room, not at all alarming anyone.

After driving to the vicinity of the pier and confirming that there was no one in the place, he drove the yacht directly to the open sea.

He didn't go to the deep sea area, he just needed a place near the sea where there was no one, so he released the 50,000-ton oil tanker, and then drove the oil tanker to the wharf.

"Alas, it's a waste of time to do it like this, when will there be a 300,000-ton tanker?"

This tanker is a little slow, used to the speed of the plane, he really can't get used to the turtle speed of the tanker, it's just torture.

Not to mention, if it is a 50,000-ton oil tanker, he still needs to go back and forth five or six times.

When we arrived at the pier, it was already more than an hour later.

Douglas was already waiting at the dock, and when he saw Zhou Jimin, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Peter, if you don't come again, I'll be scolded to death by my boss."

"Don't worry, your boss will only love you to death, not scold you."

After a few words, the next thing is the transshipment.

In the process, Zhou Jimin came to the supertanker and checked the oil tanks, and his inner thoughts suddenly couldn't be contained.

Among the world's crude oil transportation methods, the most economical and safe mode of transportation should be pipeline transportation, especially in ugly countries, where the pipeline network is very developed.

However, in intercontinental crude oil transportation, especially in today's context, oil tanker transportation is the mainstream.

Even, in later generations, in the transportation of crude oil, super tankers also occupy half of the country.

After all, the investment in pipeline transportation, especially in the intercontinental aspect, is too large.

The tanker transportation is not a barrel by barrel, but the use of oil tanks for loading, in this way, it is also convenient for transshipment.

In this way, there are a lot of oil tankers parked at the dock, as long as they are fully loaded, then there should be no problem for him to steal a little, right?

"The pattern is small, why don't you go directly to the oil field to get it?"

Suddenly, his divergent thinking came again.

But he thought about it, but shook his head, he didn't want to do these things.

Not to mention how troublesome it will be to get oil from the oil field, even if you go to the oil field, it is quite time-consuming and laborious.

If you encounter it by chance, it's naturally fine, but if it's too much of a waste of time, forget it.

Even though he is short of crude oil right now, he should be able to get enough crude oil by staying at the dock for a few days.

After getting off the tanker, he asked Douglas if there were any super tankers for sale?

"Isn't it enough that you have this 50,000-ton tanker?"

"Douglas, would you be disgusted that you have too many tankers?"

Being so scolded by Zhou Jimin, Douglaston was embarrassed for a moment, then thought about it, and then said that he would help ask in a few days.

In fact, Douglas himself works for a company that has a number of supertankers, but he is not sure if his boss will sell them.

The most important thing is that even if you want to sell, you should need to be approved by the board of directors.

In addition, price is also a big issue.

If it's too cheap, it is estimated that his boss will not submit it to the board of directors for review.

In this regard, Zhou Jimin also did not care.

Supertankers themselves are a rarity, rarely seen in many places, and most of them are even converted from warships.

Because building a supertanker is not an easy task, even if it is a strong company, there are not many supertankers.

Soon, the three major oil tanks in his tanker were full, and the full load was about 45,000 tons, and no more could be filled.

After signing the order, the next day's shipment time was agreed, and Zhou Jimin boarded his oil tanker and left.

As soon as he left, Douglas contacted his boss.

As a result, his boss Martin was instantly excited, and asked him to go to the office immediately.

For Martin, Zhou Jimin's proposal to buy a supertanker is undoubtedly a relief in the snow.

Crude oil prices have been very stable and hardly fluctuating, but the cost of supertanker consumption, employee salaries and so on is increasing.

The board of directors has long been very unhappy with this and is eager to sell off several of the old supertankers.

After all, the cost of returning to the factory for repair is very expensive, and it is difficult to determine its lifespan after repair, so it is better to sell it and invest elsewhere.

It didn't take long for Douglas to come to the office, and it didn't take long to chat, and he got the details of the three supertankers.

"You go and talk to the other party about the price first, the price is higher, talk slowly, don't rush."

Douglas was speechless, it was crazy that he dared to quote eighty percent of the price of a new oil tanker for these few things.

But people are bosses,

He could only do what he was told.
