At the end of the field trip to the Shanghai New Area, Xu Zhengdao, who arrived in Lushang, did not leave. In addition to inspecting its shopping malls and hotels in Shanghai, he also proposed to Shanghai that he hoped to visit the largest shipyard in Shanghai.

Although the Shanghai side was a little curious about such an application, it soon sent relevant leaders to accompany the visit. The reason is very simple, the above learned through its own channels that the Mythical Group intends to buy a batch of freighters.

In addition to container ships, Shinhwa Group also wants to purchase other types of cargo ships. For example, iron ore is used to transport crude oil. But no matter what kind of freighter, the significance to the Shanghai shipyard is naturally different.

At present, when it comes to shipbuilding technology, domestic shipyards are undoubtedly far behind other developed countries. Whether the shipbuilding technology is advanced or not also determines whether the country can produce high-end naval combat ships.

Nowadays, the domestic army is also implementing reforms, and compared with the army, which is already carrying out the policy of reducing the number of elite soldiers, the country also attaches great importance to the construction of the navy and air force. But these two military paths, if they want to rise, they will naturally not be able to complete it in a short time.

At present, in order to cope with the increasingly serious coastal defense situation in China, high-performance combat ships are also needed. Compared with purchasing abroad, the military naturally hopes that its own combat ships can be built by domestic shipyards.

For the Shanghai shipyard, they are now also one of the customers of Shinhwa Group's steel mill in the mainland. Some of the special steel that the shipyard used to purchase from overseas is now purchased from Shinhwa Steel.

Not to mention the cost savings, the quality of key special steels is in no way inferior to that of steel purchased with precious foreign exchange. If it can receive orders to build large cargo ships, it will also be a good thing for the shipyard, and it can also earn foreign exchange for the country.

In the past, they were all large consumers of foreign exchange, and if they can become large foreign exchange earners, they will naturally give more support. This is also the reason why when they learned that Xu Zhengdao was coming to visit, they were all extremely concerned.

Originally, the shipyard was preparing a grand welcome ceremony, but Xu Zhengdao had explained before he went, hoping that this visit would be more low-key. Knowing that he really didn't like this so-called polite pomp, the shipyard had no choice but to cancel these welcome ceremonies.

Under the introduction of the accompanying leaders, Xu Zhengdao also shook hands with the leaders of the shipyard. For the young man of the 'richest man in Asia', the shipyard leaders also found it incredible. But I know that this is a really 'big money' who is not bad for money!

Although the current domestic foreign exchange reserves are much higher than before. Correspondingly, the amount of foreign exchange that the country needs to spend each year is also increasing. Earning foreign exchange is still one of the achievements that many leaders of state-owned enterprises attach great importance to.

Even in the 90s, China's foreign exchange reserves are still worth 10 billion yuan. The outside world estimates the output value of the mythical group, and I am afraid that its capital ownership is far less than 10 billion.

The mythical banks that are currently all over Xiangjiang alone may have as much as 10 billion in reserves and capital scale. If you add the valuation of other industries of Mythical Group, the name of Asia's richest man is indeed worthy of the name in the eyes of many people.

When the shipyard leaders invited him to sit in the reception room, Xu Zhengdao said with a smile: "Director Lin, drinking tea is better excused!" I also want to visit your shipbuilding capacity and see if we can deepen cooperation.

If I'm not mistaken, when I visited the steel plant before, you were also one of our steel plant customers, and you need to purchase a lot of special steel every year. If there are more opportunities for cooperation, we will inevitably have more opportunities to drink tea together in the future. ”

Hearing Xu Zhengdao say this, the leaders of the shipyard saw that the leaders who accompanied the visit had no opinion, and did not say anything more, and directly led Xu Zhengdao, who came in a low-key manner, into the shipyard that was in production, and introduced the situation of the shipyard to Xu Zhengdao.

When he learned that the shipyard was currently building 50,000-ton cargo ships, and there were no problems, Xu Zhengdao also asked: "Director Lin, the construction strength of your factory is one of the best in China.

However, as far as the current strength of Asian shipyards is concerned, many well-known shipyards in Asia have been able to build 100,000-ton or even larger tonnage cargo ships. The reasons that limit the strength of your shipyard, can Director Lin briefly introduce them? ”

Regarding Xu Zhengdao's outspokenness, the leader who accompanied the visit also said directly: "Lao Lin, if you have anything to say, you don't have to hide anything in front of Xu Dong." Xu Dong is a friend, we don't have to hide anything from him. ”

With the words of the leader, Director Lin no longer hid anything, and said that the big reason for limiting their tonnage is more about the construction of the new dock and the large-scale lifting equipment that the world-renowned shipyards are equipped with.

This kind of large-scale lifting equipment cannot be built independently in China. Although it can be purchased abroad, the price is extremely expensive. When foreign exchange belongs to the situation of 'more monks and less meat', the shipyard cannot apply for such foreign exchange procurement at all.

After listening to Director Lin's story, Xu Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "Director Lin, you should know that there is a heavy industry enterprise under my group, right?" The equipment you lack, maybe my company can manufacture and produce. ”

"Dong Xu, this, is this true?"

"Although I don't know much about Tiens Heavy Industries, it should not be difficult to manufacture the equipment you mentioned, with the technical strength of our Tiens Heavy Industries. At that time, if you have time, you may wish to visit my Tiens Heavy Industries.

If it can really be produced, then I can call the shots, you don't need to pay foreign exchange, and the price is definitely cheaper than foreign purchases. In fact, the sales of heavy equipment currently produced by Tiens Heavy Industry are also very good. ”

The importance of heavy industry is self-evident, and at present, the excavator series products mainly produced by Tiens Heavy Industries continue to increase in Asia. Many heavy industry machinery that are popular in the international market are also being developed and learned.

In terms of technical team, Xu Zhengdao also recruited many experts in this field from all over the world. At present, Tiens Heavy Industry also has a lot of equipment experts from polar bears, including shipbuilding equipment experts.

With these words, Director Lin naturally would not refuse. If you don't need to spend precious foreign exchange, you can buy the equipment that the shipyard needs to upgrade, and I believe that the funds will also be approved. The shipyard's R&D and manufacturing capabilities will also be further improved.

During the visit, Xu Zhengdao also took the initiative to say that he planned to order at least 50,000-ton cargo ships and oil tankers, and the leaders of the shipyard were also clear. This ability, they seem to have but have not made successful samples.

For many shipowners who want to buy a ship, they are naturally more willing to order from an experienced shipyard. If you can't find such an ordering customer, you can spend money to build a sample and come out, and no one can afford the consequences of not being able to sell it.

But the shipyard also quickly said that if Xu Zhengdao is willing to give them a chance, they are willing to do their best to try to build a cargo ship or oil tanker that Xu Zhengdao needs, so that the outside world knows their shipbuilding strength.

If they can't make it, they can only be said to be incompetent, and then the Mythical Group will not lose too much money. Although such a request seems somewhat humble. But to the surprise of the shipyard leaders, Xu Zhengdao happily agreed.

It's just that when it comes to such a business cooperation, he hopes that the shipyard will come up with design drawings and quotations first. After these materials are ready, the group will conduct a corresponding review. If he thinks the plan is reliable, he is still willing to give two trial production orders!
