Chapter 2413

Of course, Liang Liping's original plan did not include the Miaoli area proposed by Lu Zhanpeng as a fixed route destination in the early stage. However, after listening to Lu Zhanpeng's introduction, she also agreed that the area may have certain development prospects in the future, and if it is immediately

If you invest resources to start operations, you may have a chance to monopolize the local shipping industry.

But the problem is that the funds and personnel she can invest in her business plan are relatively limited in the early stage. In order to gain a firm foothold in the industry and make a profit as soon as possible, she must give priority to those companies with sufficient business volume and controllable transportation costs.

The port is the destination. The special cargo produced in Miaoli not only has certain requirements for the conditions of the ships to be transported, but even the crew responsible for loading and unloading the cargo must first receive training in transporting chemical products. These links will virtually increase the transportation cost.

Quite a few.

If Liang Liping's shipping company can meet these special transportation requirements, it will indeed have the opportunity to take over these transportation services. However, Lu Zhanpeng lacks detailed data on local transportation needs, and Liang Liping will naturally not risk his own career. This cooperation plan only costs

When it reached its end, it had to stop abruptly.

However, Lu Zhanpeng was not frustrated by this. He hoped that Yu Feng and Liang Liping would give him some more time. On the one hand, he could understand the local situation in Miaoli through his own channels. On the other hand, he also wanted to talk to his wife and see.

Is it possible to use your own money to invest in Yu Feng and his wife's shipping company?

"Don't be too reluctant. Family harmony comes first." Yu Feng suppressed a smile and joked, "If your wife doesn't agree, forget it. We can consider other cooperation projects in the future."

Lu Zhanpeng was not willing to show weakness and immediately retorted: "Lao Yu, don't underestimate me. I have always made the final decision on all major matters in our family!"

"So there shouldn't be anything big going on in your family." Yu Feng mercilessly exposed Lu Zhanpeng's words: "I have been here for more than ten years. When has it ever been your decision to make the decision in your family's affairs?"

The two of them knew each other well, and Lu Zhanpeng knew that he couldn't justify himself, so he had to skip the topic for now and sighed: "Yes, we have been here for twelve years, and you and I are almost forty.

, I don’t know if there will be time to realize the ambitions I made when I first participated in the time travel!”

Both of them had engineering backgrounds, and their majors were in mechanics and petrochemicals. Like most of their companions, they could only engage in the professions they were most familiar with after coming to this time and space. However, with the professional knowledge and skills they had mastered, they were able to

It is possible that they will all become masters in their respective fields and be respected by future generations.

But time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Although they have made great achievements in their respective fields, they seem to be far from achieving the goals they had envisioned when they participated in the operation. Yu Feng still failed to create a reliable

Mass-produced internal combustion engines, and the oil refining project that Lu Zhanpeng is responsible for has never reached the ideal production state. Even though they all know that as long as they can overcome the technical difficulties at hand, Haihan's national power can be greatly improved, allowing them to become

A national hero who has left his name in history, but he still has to be controlled by the objective environment and can only slowly move towards the goal bit by bit.

Hearing what his old friend said, Yu Feng also responded with emotion: "Sometimes I also wonder if our generation will not be able to make a real breakthrough in the process of industrialization. We have to wait until the next generation.

Or the next generation will barely be able to accomplish the goals we set."

They have tasted the feeling of being unable to realize their abilities despite their abilities. They have tasted it many times over the years, and their youthful spirit has been gradually blunted by reality little by little. Although in the hearts of the people of this time and space, they are incompetent.

They are almost god-like existences, but only they themselves know that there are still countless difficulties blocking the way forward, and they may not be able to clear all these obstacles in their lifetime.

But Liang Liping, who was also a time traveler, had a more thorough view of this situation, so she said: "It's not even time to retire, you two old men have begun to look back on your life with sadness. With this time,

Let’s think about what to do next!”

"Let's just say a few words of emotion. It's not like we're not doing anything anymore." Yu Feng quickly defended himself and Lu Zhanpeng: "Next, I'll go visit Ning Qi, and you go find Schneider. Let's each do our own thing and try to get things done as soon as possible.

Straighten it out.”

"Wait a minute." Lu Zhanpeng was a little confused: "How come there is something about Ning Qi and Schneider here?"

"Everyone has his own business." Yu Feng had to explain to him: "I plan to ask Ning Qi to recruit some more recently graduated students to learn engine repair and maintenance from me. As for Schneider, I want her to negotiate for a loan.

It’s about the shipping company.”

At this time, Yu Feng's little daughter was calling next to her, so Liang Liping had no intention of continuing to chat with them and got up to take care of the child.

Lu Zhanpeng continued: "If you ask for people from Ning Qi, they will only give you a few junior high school graduates at most. With that level of knowledge, you need to learn engine-related things, and the training period will probably be very long. This is not a steam engine.

The mechanical principles and structures are much more complicated. If you are stupider, you may not be able to get started after studying for three to five months."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I can't get people who can go to high school, or who are selected by the Ministry of Industry right after graduating from junior high school!" Yu Feng sighed: "Although junior high school students have poor basic skills, if

It is not impossible to just learn repair and maintenance. Look at the car repair shops in the city in the past, many car repair technicians have not finished middle school. They can also learn it slowly. It is nothing more than the accumulation of experience.

I just have to be more patient and teach slowly."

Lu Zhanpeng said: "Actually, I have an idea, maybe I can mention it to Ning Qi."

"Come and listen."

"We went to Ning Qi and asked local junior high schools in Sanya to set up a second class. Students can choose courses that they are interested in, such as mechanical majors or petrochemical majors. We can teach some simple professional knowledge to attract people interested in this subject.

Interested students will then be trained in a targeted manner." Lu Zhanpeng explained his thoughts concisely and concisely.

Yu Feng frowned and said: "Then you and I will be lecturers ourselves? Besides, you can't just go and give lectures. As a teacher, you don't have to prepare lessons in advance? Maybe you have to write your own textbooks. We don't have that much time. What do you think?

Can you do this job?"

"This..." Lu Zhanpeng also felt that what Yu Feng said was reasonable, and his own thinking did not seem to be thoughtful enough.

Although the two of them have been tutoring apprentices over the years, they have never taught in schools as teachers. They basically lead apprentices to practice while imparting professional knowledge. Currently, the professional teaching materials required for teaching are

There was nothing on the market, and Lu Zhanpeng’s idea was dead as soon as he proposed it.

The two had to abandon the topic and began to discuss the technical details of the diesel engine that Yu Feng was currently preparing to manufacture.

Yu Feng has drawings of many types of engines. He plans to start with a single-cylinder diesel engine with a relatively simple structure and trial-produce a small-horsepower prototype. This thing has a wide range of uses, such as transportation, loading and unloading, mining, industrial production, etc.

In other aspects, efficiency and production capacity can be greatly improved.

Although Yu Feng has a ready-made manufacturing plan at hand, there are still many technical details that need to be sorted out slowly from processing and assembly to later test operations. Yu Feng is not in a position to concentrate all the existing technical forces of the Ministry of Industry in his own hands.

, so he can only rely on himself to explore and solve various problems he will encounter in the process.

This day's sea fishing activity only lasted until the afternoon and ended hastily. However, the fish caught by the two of them had far exceeded their family's recent demand for fish ingredients, so Yu Feng took the initiative and distributed part of it to his subordinates.

Several crew members, and some arranged to be transported to their own machinery factory as meals for the employees tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to Lu Zhanpeng and his family on the pier, Yu Feng and Liang Liping did not go home directly. Instead, they asked the nanny and bodyguard to take their children back first, while they went to attend a meeting that had been arranged in advance.

Yu Feng and his wife took a carriage to a restaurant in the city, where Liang Liping had reserved a private room in advance and was preparing to entertain an important guest.

Not long after they entered the private room and sat down, the guests arrived. The couple stood up to greet them, but the visitor quickly bowed and said: "You two don't have to be so polite, I can't bear it!"

"Respect the elderly and the virtuous. This is what you should do. Mr. Zhang, please sit down!" Yu Feng politely stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture.

The person who came was none other than Zhang Tiangui, the person in charge of Sanya Shipyard. With his age and seniority in Haihan Kingdom, he indeed deserved this respect. However, in front of the crowd, he had always been very respectful and never exceeded.

Zhang Tiangui's words and deeds were correct. After Zhang Tiangui said a few polite words, he also sat down.

This was not the first time that the two parties had interacted with each other, but it was the first time they had sat together for dinner. Zhang Tiangui also understood the reason why the couple entertained him. After drinking for three rounds, he took the initiative to bring up the subject: "Last time Director Liang asked

I have carefully calculated what I said."

When Yu Feng and his wife heard this, they both stopped using their chopsticks and looked at Zhang Tiangui, waiting for what he would say next.

Then Zhang Tiangui continued: "If Director Liang's request is to order eight Yugong-class sailing ships at one time at Sanya Shipyard, then they may need to be delivered in four batches, with two ships in each batch, and the entire delivery period will take at least two years.

."

"In other words, the order for these eight ships will not be completed until this time the year after tomorrow?" Liang Liping frowned slightly after hearing this, but still confirmed this important time with Zhang Tiangui.

Zhang Tiangui nodded and said: "You two will definitely feel that this delivery period is too long, but there is really no way. The current tasks of Sanya Shipyard have already been scheduled for the year after next, and most of them are official tasks.

The contract was signed in black and white, and I dare not break the contract easily. You two can come to the shipyard to check the construction arrangements of the civilian ships at any time, and I promise that there is no lie. If Director Liang hadn't said that he could pay the shipbuilding cost in one lump sum, the delivery time would have been longer.

Wait for another year and a half."

In fact, there was no need to go to the shipyard to check the construction arrangements of civilian ships. The two of them knew that what Zhang Tiangui said was basically true. Liang Liping's current job has to deal with various shipyards almost every day, so naturally he knows that many big shipyards order new ships almost every year. Not to mention Sanya

The shipyard also has to accept shipbuilding orders from official departments such as the Ministry of Shipping, so the shipyard's production capacity is naturally difficult to meet demand.

If it weren't for their special status, and if Liang Liping said he could pay off the ship in one lump sum, then the delivery time would probably be more than two or three years.

Liang Liping said: "Mr. Zhang, is there any way that can help us get these ships as quickly as possible?"

Zhang Tiangui hesitated for a moment, then responded: "There is a way, but I think it may not be suitable for you two."

Yu Feng said hurriedly: "No problem, Mr. Zhang will tell you first."

Zhang Tiangui said: "The easiest way is to directly add money to buy a ship that is being built by another company, but this is probably not a deal that can be concluded by just adding 1,800 yuan."

Liang Liping remained silent, but judging from her expression, it was obvious that she did not agree with this method. She originally planned to order these cargo ships through loans. The longer the delivery period, the more interest she would have to pay, but

If you need to add money to buy other people's orders, I'm afraid the extra money you have to pay will be more than the loan interest.

Zhang Tiangui observed the situation and continued: "There is another way, which is for Sanya Shipyard to come forward and entrust the orders to shipyards in various places for separate construction. This may shorten the delivery period to about one year at the earliest."

Yu Feng asked in confusion: "What does commissioned construction mean? Subcontracting shipbuilding orders?"

Zhang Tiangui nodded and acknowledged his statement: "That's roughly what it means. The order is placed by Sanya Shipyard, but the specific construction work will be completed by multiple shipyards."

Liang Liping asked: "Has the shipbuilding cost changed?"

Zhang Tiangui said: "Of course we will follow the price we negotiated before."

Liang Liping did not respond immediately, but considered the pros and cons of this matter in his mind. Haihan currently has at least twenty or thirty shipyards, large and small, but those with the technical ability to build Yugong-class sailboats are definitely state-owned shipyards.

In this calculation, there are only about seven or eight ships. And the shipyards in other places are indeed not as busy as the Sanya Shipyard. If several shipyards can start construction at the same time, then the order for these eight ships may not be enough.

It can be delivered in a year.

Although from a time point of view, such an operation can shorten the delivery time, there are also some other problems. For example, the technical strength of other shipyards is definitely not as good as that of the Sanya Shipyard where Zhang Tiangui is located, and the finished products that come out by then may be slightly different.

Quality difference. In addition, the quotations of other shipyards are definitely lower than those of the most famous shipyard in Sanya. Zhang Tiangui subcontracted the order, but still collected money according to the previous quotation. This is a bit of a loss for the ship owner.
