"Why?"

"Why?"

"Why?"

Hu Wenhai, Zhang Mingjie and driver Wang Ye were stunned when they heard the shouts outside.

What's the situation?

Hu Wenhai has experienced many things, and there are countless cases of acquisition of state-owned enterprises that he has heard before.

There are some who can fill their pockets, some who can open up joints, some who can settle workers, some who can directly file for bankruptcy after developing real estate, and some who can make huge losses before M waves...

But this is the first time that the employees of the enterprise have actively requested capital acquisition. The identity and arrogance of state-owned enterprise workers are the same even after thirty years. It has always been the workers of state-owned enterprises who oppose acquisitions and oppose the resettlement plans proposed by capitalists. How could they actively ask individuals to save state-owned enterprises?

"Mr. Hu, please save Bo Chuan!"

"Yes, Bo Ship can no longer wait!"

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu, Bo Ship will definitely not let your expectations down!"

Hu Wenhai looked out of the car, and the black outside was full of people's palms and the sea-blue work clothes of the Bochuan. If it weren't for the content shouted by the workers outside, he almost thought he had been wearing Japan in the 1950s.

These workers looked a little embarrassed, with blood vessels on their red faces on their foreheads, and their hair was not well-treated, making them look greasy and messy. Although the work clothes on their bodies were clean, the greasy and damaged still could not be covered.

Anyway, this is a group of heavy physical laborers who don't seem to have a good rest and are emotionally excited can be about the same as out of control.

Obviously, Wang Yichun did not expect that the workers who had performed relatively restrainedly before were suddenly on the verge of losing control.

"Comrades, calm down. Let's calm down!"

"Don't be too excited, give up the car, don't block the road!"

Under the command of Wang Yichun, the city government staff went up a few people, but they were just dropping and pulling.

The team of tens of thousands of people in the Bohai Shipyard has only gathered hundreds of people now. But just a few hundred people are excited, and that is a powerful force.

Wang Ye looked at the excited workers around him and turned his head and was startled: "Mr. Hu. You can't go out, it's too dangerous!"

However, at this time, Hu Wenhai's hands had already hit the door handle. He pushed the door open from the inside out with a light push.

The crowd seemed to have encountered a tide of reefs, spreading outward. The workers of the Bohai Boat automatically gave up a place for Hu Wenhai.

On the originally noisy street, the leaves suddenly turned into fallen leaves can be heard.

"Ah, I feel tired when I take a car. I can stretch my body. Yes, it's so comfortable!"

Just as hundreds of people were watching, Hu Wenhai raised his hands over his head and stretched his waist firmly.

"Why, everyone has something to do with me? But you guys are like this. I really don't know who to talk to." Hu Wenhai spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

However, it was obvious that the workers of Bo Ship would not be unprepared for such a move. A small path was divided into the crowd, and an ordinary worker squeezed out of the crowd.

"Hu Wenhai, what do you call this big brother?"

Hu Wenhai reached out and looked at the man in front of him carefully. He looked like a person who worked outdoors all year round, with a black and red face, a firm and square face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes.

To be honest, this person is a bit like the typical worker image in oil paintings and posters in China in the early years. Just by acting like this, he can indeed win people's favor and trust.

If there was an actor of this style more than 20 years later, he might be able to compete with Liu Ye, Zhang Hanyu and others for their strengths.

"Hello, Mr. Hu, I'm sorry, our Bobo Boat workers have caused you trouble."

"It's okay, I'm glad that the workers and masters of Bo Ship look down on me and think of me when they need help." Hu Wenhai and Zheng Lei shook hands. The man's palms were very wide and thick, but with a slight force, he felt like his hands were being squeezed.

"But this place is on the road after all. If you have any words to go in, let's not cause trouble for other pedestrians, right?"

"good."

Every factory has a storied person, and this person will attract the attention of many people, but he may not be the head of a factory.

It's like Charlotte's troubles, or Meng Xiaojun, a Chinese partner. In a certain movie, they are always the focus of people's attention and the well-deserved protagonist.

Zheng Lei is the "protagonist" of the movie Bohai Shipyard.

Zheng Lei was very capable. His father was a worker who once worked for the Japanese ship repair station in Dagang. After liberation, the first batch of people arrived in Xiuxi to build this factory called Bohai Shipyard.

Zheng Lei grew up on the boat platform as a child. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Dagang Maritime Transport College. When he was assigned to the university, he refused the Provincial Department of Transportation he wanted to go to. Instead, he turned around and returned to Xixi, which had nothing but boat platform.

Just for his choice, he, Zheng Yi, was angry many times.

With the halo of "college student", Zheng Lei was "demoted" to the front-line workers because of several arguments with the original factory director.

But these several debates finally proved that the truth was on Zheng Lei's side.

Now that the original factory director has been sentenced, the workers have no leader, so someone suggested pushing Zheng Lei out. He did not refuse and just walked to the front desk.

"What are the difficulties in Bo Ship? You can tell me."

Hu Wenhai did not wait until he entered the municipal government compound, but could not wait to ask questions on the way.

According to his memory, after the explosion of the Bohai Ship, it did not recover for a long time. It was only because of the successive blood transfusions of several major shipping companies under the Ministry of Transportation that it finally improved in the 1990s.

However, before he was reborn, he was far away from Bochuan and was not clear about the inside story of this matter. Otherwise, there would be no memory of the rumor of the biogas explosion.

"Bo Ship..." Zheng Lei gritted his teeth and sighed: "To be honest, there is not much time left for Bo Ship!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"There is a 30,000-ton bulk carrier in the dock of Bo Ship. If it cannot be completed on time, the shipyard will face huge compensation."

Hu Wenhai nodded to Mayor Wang Yichun, who was shocked and waved his hand repeatedly to help others defend Hu Wenhai.

Taking advantage of the gap between the city government staff separating him from the crowd, Hu Wenhai asked Wang Lei: "Who is this ship produced for? Domestic? Foreign?"

Zheng Lei took a deep breath and put a name in his mouth for a while: "Stanley Ho."

Hu Wenhai was a little surprised and laughed: "The King of Gambling in Lisboa!"

Although Hu Wenhai had a smile on his face, he shook his head secretly in his heart. If it was a domestic order, the country could coordinate and wipe out the compensation. However, Stanley Ho's identity was too complicated, and the Lisboa Gambling King also had a great influence on Asian shipping. Whether it was political or commercial influence, the country probably would not allow Bohai to pay back the debt.

The only thing that may be considered is that Bo Ship is a confidential unit after all, and this order is definitely not signed by it for the main body, and it is mostly a policy order taken care of by the state.

As long as it is completed on time, the foreign exchange paid by the gambling king will be of great help to a certain project of Bochuan.

But the problem lies here. If this order is not completed, the compensation will also be US dollars.

No wonder Hu Wenhai suddenly realized.

It was just an oil and gas explosion. Although the losses were a bit serious, the Bo Ship's asset level would not be overwhelmed for several years. To put it simply, Hu Wenhai seemed to be rich, but the money he had in his hands may not be as valuable as a Bo Ship.

Such a large Bohai ship, with tens of thousands of workers and assets of one billion, how could it be so cruel? The reason is very simple. It must be that this ship failed to deliver work on time in history, and in the end it had to pay huge compensation.

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Hu Wenhai calculated the US dollars in his hand, and the construction cost of a 30,000-ton bulk cargo ship was at least 18 million US dollars. Even if there is no compensation for breach of contract, it is only a return of 80% of the advance payment. This is basically the most unlikely event, and it will cost 14.4 million US dollars in cash.

Judging from the Bochuan’s appearance, it is obvious that this money cannot be obtained.

What's more, about a large part of this money has become raw materials or semi-finished products. It is either lying in a warehouse or lying on a boat platform. The money cannot be changed no matter what.

The shipyard breached the contract and went bankrupt, and Hu Wenhai knew about this kind of thing.

In heavy industry such as shipbuilding, there are intensive funds, technology, manpower, and the return on capital is super slow, and the basic investment is endless. It is really hard to play with the consortium that is not supported by the state.

"I heard that Mr. Hu has a technology that can shorten the shipbuilding cycle. I hope Mr. Hu can help our Bo Ship to overcome the difficulties! Or, if Mr. Hu can help Bo Ship to pay the compensation, Bo Ship can also repay it in installments..."

"Oh, do you know?" Hu Wenhai was a little surprised. The giant shipbuilding method is top secret in China. Although there are many people who know it, there are people in the Science and Technology Commission system, the Navy, the Ministry of Transportation, etc. who want to mix it up. Perhaps the people who know the details are of high level, and it is not easy to leak the information at any time.

"Can you guess a little, and you hear some wind from the navy. Then refer to what you have examined in the Bo Ship, I can probably guess which direction of technology it is."

"It's good, you can guess this." Hu Wenhai secretly wrote down the news without saying a word: "I have a technology in my hand that can shorten the shipbuilding cycle, but it is just a concept, requiring the development of new technologies and the addition of new equipment, which cannot be done overnight."

"Is it really not possible?" Zheng Lei asked unwillingly.

Hu Wenhai thought for a while and shook his head, "It's not impossible, but the semi-finished product plan has great risks and great pressure. Can Bochuan, which has just had a serious accident, be competent?"

Zheng Lei's eyes shone, and he nodded without hesitation: "Yes!" (To be continued...)
