Chapter 120 This time I went to Lao Maozi on a business trip
The two MTU engines roared, and the sound spread along the bulkhead to the cockpit. Wu Shengli, standing inside, looked excited: "Let's go!"
The ship cannot be operated by one person and requires the cooperation of different crew members. At this time, several workers from the shipyard temporarily acted as engineers. In the cockpit, Qin Tao loudly issued the order: "Forward Five!"
The four water jet thrusters were working at full power, and four water waves were formed, spreading on the sea surface and forming ripples. For the first time, the naval officers felt the thrill of racing on the sea. When the missile boat sprinted to a speed of fifty knots, At this time, they felt that their adrenaline was secreted rapidly, stimulating every cell in them.
“Attention everyone, prepare to use the left rudder!”
The missile boat suddenly made a beautiful turn on the sea. The hull barely tilted, and an arc-shaped wave appeared on the sea surface, which was extremely spectacular.
Qin Tao was demonstrating the performance of the catamaran to everyone, especially when he made a circle at the end, there was a roar of applause in the cabin.
The first sea trial ended successfully. The launch and sea trial were held together, which has never happened before in a naval ship. When the ship docked, many people did not want to leave and still stayed on the missile boat. Come on, take a look here, take a look there.
“Everyone, lunch has been prepared in our cafeteria. Can the military representatives also have a glass of celebratory wine?”
Meng Fansheng nodded: "Yes, yes, we are going to have a few drinks today!"
Shipyard canteen.
"Everyone, first of all, on behalf of the navy, I would like to congratulate the launch of this missile boat. We are very satisfied with its performance. It will become a weapon to protect the maritime borders of our motherland." Wu Shengli raised his glass: "Let us do this for The trial production of a brand new missile boat was successful, cheers!”
Qin Baoshan was very excited.
This is a new beginning!
"On behalf of the shipyard, I would like to thank the leaders of the Navy for their support, the military representatives, and the Marine Corps for their protection. Whatever the Navy needs, our shipyard can build it, whether it is missile boats, frigates, or destroyers!"
“Director Qin, you have a big appetite!”
Everyone laughed.
“On behalf of several of our military representatives, I would like to thank the shipyard for its support and Qin Gong’s excellent design and outstanding guidance for completing the construction of this brand-new missile boat.” Meng Fansheng opened his mouth and said to Qin Tao.
The three military representatives all raised their glasses.
"I'm also grateful to several military representatives for their strict requirements." Qin Tao's wine glass had touched several people. When it touched Zhao Ling's wine glass, he deliberately used some force to make the wine in Zhao Ling's glass spill. A lot came out.
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Tao became more courageous: "Leader Wu, you are busy with everything, and you still come here to participate in the launching ceremony of our missile boat. This is a sign of your importance to us. I have to have a drink with you. Thank you for being so generous." . The catamaran passenger ship project has just been written off."
Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao and realized that this was going to be a bad deal. The navy gave up the first catamaran to the customs. Ordinarily, the Mingzhou Shipyard would have to build another one for them. However, the customs has already tested the performance of the catamaran, and they have also begun building catamaran missile boats. Therefore, there is no need to continue building catamaran passenger ships.
The Navy paid a part of the deposit in advance for the catamaran, which could just offset the money spent on exchanging the cans for the passenger plane last time. It was supposed to balance the accounts, but Qin Tao and the customs asked for more than 10 million! Should we give them navy points?
Forget it, the navy should be more generous.
However, Wu Shengli cannot agree directly now, he has to go back and report! So the topic was changed.
Hearing what Wu Shengli said, Qin Tao reacted instantly: "Go to Lao Maozi's place to inspect?"
Wu Shengli nodded: "Qin Tao, Zhao Ling, you two get ready after dinner, and then come back to the capital with me."
At this time, Qin Tao seemed to understand why Zhao Ling didn't believe in martial arts. If her name was Wu Ling, then she couldn't take her daughter back so openly. Few people present knew Zhao Ling's true identity, which was convenient for Wu Shengli to mobilize. .
For Qin Tao, this incident had been expected for a long time and was nothing. However, Zhao Ling was really shocked.
Back to the capital?
Instinctively, Zhao Ling wanted to say no. She didn't want her father to constantly control her life and work. However, when she looked at Qin Tao opposite her and found that Qin Tao had no reaction, her inner disgust disappeared. It was good to be with Qin Tao.
Perhaps, do you really need yourself?
In the afternoon, a Navy Cherokee off-road vehicle was speeding on the road.
Zhao Ling was sitting in the co-pilot, and Qin Tao and Wu Shengli were sitting in the back seat together. The two had already started chatting about this issue.
"More than ten days ago, superior leaders went to Moscow for a friendly visit. This trip went very smoothly. We and Lao Maozi will resume and expand cooperation in the fields of aviation and aerospace technology, and we will provide Lao Maozi with government loans. Maozi provides food and daily consumer goods in exchange for Lao Maozi agreeing to sell aviation technical equipment to us. Therefore, our army will also send a strong lineup to Moscow. There are eight places in the navy, led by me."
"There are eight places, and we only occupy two of them. Isn't it a bit too extravagant?" Qin Tao asked Wu Shengli.
"Taozi, you have been to Lao Maozi several times and have done transactions with them. You know Lao Maozi's current situation very well, so you joined as a consultant." Wu Shengli said: "As for Xiaoling, she Responsible for translation, typing and other tasks, after all, Xiaoling can read the manuscript I write best."
Wu Shengli didn't think there was anything wrong. They in the navy needed translators. Xiaoling could definitely take on this task. Moreover, Wu Shengli also had to write the report himself and print it out with a typewriter. Those scribbles Only Xiaoling could type the handwriting without asking, so Xiaoling was working as a secretary.
This is not about using military force to achieve public benefit for private gain.
“Although this time we are inspecting the aerospace technology field, since we are going there, we can also stay a few more days and visit their Southern Steam Turbine Factory and other places.” Qin Tao began to play his role.
“Southern Turbine Factory?”
“Yes, Lao Maozi specializes in marine gas turbines.”
For the Navy, one of the biggest problems now is the lack of heart. Therefore, when I go to Lao Maozi this time, I can also inspect the Navy's projects. Even if I can't afford it, I will gain something by taking a look. .
Wu Shengli's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "This is a good proposal. After we finish talking about the plane, it's okay for us to ask for separate activities, but will Lao Maozi agree?"
“Well, as long as we work hard, we still have a chance. Lao Maozi is still very friendly. It would be better if we could meet an old acquaintance of mine and let him take us to visit.”
Wu Shengli nodded: "It seems that bringing you to our inspection team can play a huge role. What good things we can see depends on you. By the way, do you have any other suggestions?"
Qin Tao thought for a while: "Let's go to the capital. How about visiting the Erguotou Factory?"
Qin Tao's span is too big. From weapons and equipment, it is directly related to drinking? Zhao Ling, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Qin Tao.
"This time, I'm afraid my stomach can meet the needs of the motherland. We need to find someone who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk." Qin Tao said: "In Lao Maozi's place, as long as the wine is drunk enough, everything else is easy. Xiaoling , what do you think?"
