Chapter 378 Zhenhua No. 1 goes to sea
“After receiving the drawings, we started construction. The superstructure part was made by the construction team we stayed here. The chassis was welded by us.” Cong Ju introduced it to everyone.
According to Qin Tao's plan, a chassis needs to be placed on top of the reef. The top of this chassis is flat and used to place various buildings. The bottom of the reef has a complex shape and can be combined with the reef below.
This is a big project.
It would be really difficult for an ordinary engineering team to do it. After receiving the news, Cong Ju personally organized a group of the most capable welders to weld this special device.
At this time, the device is turned 180 degrees. Its flat part is in contact with the ground, and the part in contact with the reef is exposed on the ground. It looks like an artistic device.
The ones prepared for Shuangsha Island have all been welded. At this time, looking at these complex devices, Wu Shengli was also extremely emotional.
“There is nothing impossible, only unimaginable, but thinking and doing are very important. Only you, Mingzhou Group, can complete these tasks! Our navy has successfully completed the task this time, and you will be the first to contribute!”
"We just did what we should do. Since we are here, let's take a look at the situation of our warships." Qin Tao said.
The No. 116 ship was also outfitted last month. Currently, there are two 054 frigates and a light frigate specially prepared for the Oriental Pearl on the slipway. Among them, the first 054 frigate is The completion rate is the highest, and it is almost ready for launching. Looking at this beautiful frigate, Wu Shengli is full of expectations.
“After this kind of professional air defense frigate is launched, it will definitely become the backbone of our navy!”
There is no gas turbine or imported weapon system, so the cost of building the 054 frigate is very low. Because it is cheap, it can be built on a large scale. The navy's biggest shortcoming: air defense issues will become a thing of the past.
Especially, the air defense missile system above was developed by my own daughter!
Thinking of this, Wu Shengli felt a full sense of accomplishment.
Look at the light frigate again. Although it has just started construction, it is cheaper and will become the main offshore defense warship in the future. Once the navy completes the replacement, it will become a modern navy.
"It will also become the main force of our exports." Qin Tao said: "We have reached an agreement with Lao Ba. They will purchase four warships of the same type, equipped with Hedgehog anti-aircraft missile systems imported from Da Mao. Our navy Don’t have any objections.”
There was a wry smile on Wu Shengli's face: "What opinions can we have? The weapons system was introduced by you and has nothing to do with our own use. Moreover, it is together with the Gwadar Port project."
The Gwadar Port project is a strategic layout. Under this big move, the export of several warships is no longer so important.
“Let’s go and see the outfitting dock again.”
When he arrived at the outfitting dock, Qin Tao was a little surprised: "Where is No. 115?"
“Warship No. 115 has already started sea trials, Taozi, don’t you know?” Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao.
Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not delivered to the navy, it would be fine. After the outfitting was completed, sea trials would definitely take place. Qin Tao knew this, but he thought the sea trials were progressing very quickly. In the end, when he was not paying attention, the sea trials had already been delivered to the navy. It’s over.
“Well, after the sea trial, there should be an anti-aircraft missile target experiment, right?” Qin Tao asked.
Wu Shengli nodded.
"It seems that we have to arrange the time well. Once we complete the first phase of the operation there, we will immediately announce the news of the sea trial, and we will make it public with great fanfare. This kind of anti-aircraft destroyer of ours has a range of more than 100 kilometers. Area air defense capability.”
Wu Shengli continued to nod. It was too far away and the naval aviation could not reach it. The most they could do was to deploy a few modified Yak-38s there. This kind of professional air defense destroyer could provide a considerable deterrent capability.
“This oil and water supply ship seems to be almost finished outfitting.” Without the 115th destroyer, there is only this tall and powerful oil and water supply ship.
Qin Tao saw that the gantry above had been installed, and knew that the oil and water supply ship was almost completed.
This is the first time that the Navy has obtained a comprehensive supply ship with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, and it will also be the warship with the largest displacement among the naval equipment!
However, Wu Shengli obviously didn't think much of the ship. He couldn't wait to cross the ship and see the civilian ship outfitting dock, which was not strictly confidential. Over there, you could see the unique dug-out ship. The mud boat is also in the process of outfitting.
The current Shuangsha Island operation is just the beginning. The subsequent reclamation and island building will be more important. Therefore, Wu Shengli cannot wait.
However, Qin Tao's words stopped him in his tracks.
“Actually, this comprehensive supply ship is prepared for the Navy’s aircraft carrier formation.”
The Navy now has a comprehensive supply ship, but its displacement is not large and it does not carry much supplies. Now, this supply ship that can carry more than 20,000 tons of fuel and fresh water is actually for the convenience of accompanying future aircraft carrier formations. Action.
Wu Shengli's eyes suddenly became fiery.
"Taozi, you have been paving the way for our navy." Wu Shengli said: "Your various actions seem to be haphazard, with a hammer here and a hammer here and there, but when you put all of your actions together , you can see your true purpose, you have been preparing for our navy to build a powerful maritime formation!"
Qin Tao smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
Since you have come to this world, you must make your own contribution to the strength of the navy!
All the preparation work has been done naturally. Now, all we have to do is wait for the aircraft carrier.
"Taozi, do you think that if we don't purchase the Varyag now and start building it ourselves, do you have the ability?" Wu Shengli became interested.
All preparations have been made for air defense destroyers, frigates, and supply ships, but the only thing missing is the aircraft carrier. So, can you build it yourself?
Mingzhou Shipyard has already built an aircraft carrier for Siam and is also designing a 28,000-ton aircraft carrier for Turkey. Our own 8*91 project is also in progress. It can be said that everything is ready. Yes!
"Even if everything is ready, we still need Dongfeng." Qin Tao said: "Currently, what we lack most is deck steel for aircraft carriers. Our Mingzhou Steel Plant is still working on it, but if we want It is expected that it will take several years to be put into stable production. Moreover, with an aircraft carrier, there must be supporting carrier-based aircraft. Currently, our 112 Factory still produces Su-27 fighter jets by assembling imported parts, and we do not have large-scale production yet. Production, so the conditions are not yet there. It will be almost the same in five years.”
The Varyag can be obtained within one or two years, but it will take five years to build an aircraft carrier yourself. Therefore, from this perspective, the Varyag must be obtained.
“Well, you’re right.” Wu Shengli agreed with Qin Tao’s analysis.
Don't be in a hurry, you have to eat one bite at a time and do the work bit by bit.
Especially, the navy does not yet have that much funding. If it launches immediately, how will the huge funding requirements be met?
That evening, the family members of the Mingzhou Shipyard went to the hospital.
“Come, leader Wu, let me toast you.” Qin Baoshan raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Wu Shengli.
"Old Qin, there is no Leader Wu or Director Qin at this wine table. If you say that again, then we won't be able to drink this wine. You call me Lao Wu, and I call you Lao Qin. We are in-laws and we are in our own home, so why do you call us leader?" Wu Shengli said with a smile.
"Well, Lao Wu, Tao Zi is running back and forth. I have to look after the shipyard, and I can't take care of my daughter-in-law. Thanks to the help of my relatives, I thank you on behalf of the child in Xiaoling's belly."
"Old Qin, I don't like hearing what you are saying anymore. The child in Xiaoling's belly belongs to your Qin family and our Wu family. You take care of your own child. What else are you grateful for? Come on, drink. Don't say thank you again today. thing!"
"good."
Looking at his father's appearance, Qin Tao couldn't help but curse, old man, show me the state in which you scolded me back then. How come meeting Leader Wu is like a mouse meeting a cat? You didn't see, how come I Do you get along with your father-in-law? When it's time to joke, it will definitely happen.
“The stall of the clothing factory here is getting bigger and bigger, and I can’t take care of Xiaoling. Come on, Lao Wu, I’ll toast you too.” Cao Yuru raised her wine glass.
Today Wu Shengli is coming to visit, and Cao Yuru has rushed back from the clothing factory. Now she is busy with other things. She does not go home all year round and cannot take care of Zhao Ling. As a mother-in-law, she is also very uneasy.
“Oh, Mom, I regret it.” Qin Tao said suddenly.
His words stunned several people at the table. They looked at Qin Tao curiously: "What do you regret?"
"In the beginning, I shouldn't have given you so many ideas for your clothing factory. Although Eight Wolf men's clothing has become the number one selling men's clothing brand in the country, what's the use? I would rather your clothing factory close down. You can go to Huating and live a comfortable life. Even if you Eight Wolf men's clothing is excellent, how much money can you make in a year? I will make back 200 million US dollars by just talking. "
Both father and mother are busy with their careers. As a result, the daughter-in-law is pregnant and has to be taken care of by her parents. Qin Tao is also a little embarrassed and can't help but express his feelings.
After hearing what Qin Tao said, Cao Yuru couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, if the factory closes down, then I will be relieved. But, Taozi, the factory is not mine alone. There are still a large number of workers in the factory. The factory If it goes bankrupt, what will happen to those workers? They have to support their families!"
Since becoming the director of the factory, Cao Yuru's feeling has become stronger. There are so many workers in the factory, and they all depend on the factory for food. In the past few years, the factory has achieved good results, and wages and benefits have continued to increase. People in the factory think of the past few years. The days are full of emotion.
Cao Yuru feels very happy to be able to lead everyone to get rich together.
Qin Tao looked at his father and then at his mother. Sure enough, living together for a long time will influence each other. My mother's horizons have become higher, her horizons have broadened, and her awareness has also improved.
"Of course, the factory can run normally without anyone else." Cao Yuru continued: "If you feel that Mother should stay at home and take care of you, Mother can also step back. In fact, the city has already found Mother. Several times, I asked Mom about her future plans..."
When he heard this, Qin Tao felt his eyelids starting to jump.
No one dared to take advantage of the Mingzhou Group. This was a promise made by the city when Qin Tao contracted the contract. Coupled with the relationship between the father-in-law and his father-in-law, those people were all honest. But Mingzhou Garment Factory is different.
Some people have been working on the idea of opening a Mingzhou clothing factory for a long time. After all, the country’s No. 1 men’s clothing brand sounds attractive enough!
A sneer appeared on Qin Tao's face: "Mom, don't you think it's time to change the system of your factory?"
Cao Yuru was a little curious: "What changed?"
"Of course it's the system. Now, what the country emphasizes is the separation of government and enterprises. Enterprises like yours should have operated independently long ago and completely drawn a clear line with Mingzhou City. There are a lot of taxes to be paid, but the relevant leaders want to It’s not okay to interfere in your internal affairs.”
Qin Tao has always protected his shortcomings. At this time, after hearing his words, Qin Baoshan had already understood, but he was a little curious: "Then what are you going to do? Directly ask the city to let your mother contract the clothing factory? Wouldn’t this cause a rift with the city?”
"Of course not." Qin Tao said: "You probably don't know that in Huating, the joint-stock reform of enterprises has already begun, right?"
Huating is a window to the outside world and a vanguard of reform. As early as November 1984, Huating Feile Electroacoustic General Factory issued the first real stock in New China - Feile Audio. However, due to many problems, it did not expand. By the end of 1991, there were only 8 joint-stock companies in the city that issued stocks to the public, with a total share capital of 420 million yuan.
However, development began to pick up rapidly after that. In 1992, it was a spring. An old man not only drew a circle in the south, but also gave Huating instructions: expand the joint-stock system pilot!
In 1993, the "Decision of the Communist Party of China on Several Issues Concerning the Establishment of a Socialist Market Economic System" was officially adopted, setting out the task of establishing a modern enterprise system with "clear property rights, clear powers and responsibilities, separation of government and enterprises, and scientific management" .
From then on, Huating started to make great strides. By 1997, the basic framework of the modern enterprise system was basically established.
Now, Qin Tao also plans to jump on this trend.
“But, what words do we use?” Cao Yuru asked Qin Tao.
"Now, although Eight Wolf Men's Wear has become the number one selling men's wear brand in the country, it is not enough. We have to expand outwards. We have to become a world-class factory. Moreover, with the economic development of our country, we will provide more products to foreign countries. Exporting products will become the company's main source of profit. Therefore, we need to open up overseas markets. In this case, we will need a large amount of funds. Will the superiors provide it? If not, we will carry out joint-stock reform and raise funds through listing. "
“Have we not suffered losses in foreign trade exports before? Will our superiors agree?”
"You have to agree even if you don't agree. I had no experience before. But in the future, our company's development will inevitably go global. Hasn't our Mingzhou Shipyard been building ships for foreign shipowners? Our garment factory is the same. It will not take more than a few years." , we, Made in China, will occupy the whole world! Only then will we become an economic power! A factory director who does not know how to forge ahead is not a good factory director!"
“What if the superior leader just won’t let go?”
"It's easy. If you don't let go, you will resign." Qin Tao said: "After resigning, bring out the backbone of Eight Wolf Men's Wear and open your own factory! Tell them that when they enter the new factory, they will not only get wages. , there are also shares, which can be distributed as dividends. The salary in the future will be pocket money, and the dividend at the end of the year will be the bulk of it."
In short, never let others pick the fruit. What I just said was for the sake of the workers. Well, just take the workers away and empty out the Mingzhou Garment Factory!
Without Qin Tao and Cao Yuru, the Mingzhou Garment Factory would have closed down long ago. Now, if those people want to pick fruits, there is no way!
"As for the name, we can call it Nine Wolf Men's Clothing. The advertising slogan can be, Nine Wolf Men's Clothing, one more than Eight Wolves. By the way, I will go with you tomorrow." Qin Tao said to Cao Yuru.
I may still have concerns and feel embarrassed to break up with the city leaders, but Qin Tao doesn't care.
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Cao Yuru smiled: "No, you underestimate Mom too much. Mom can handle this kind of thing by herself."
Qin Tao is a person who does big things. There is no need to bother Qin Tao with a small matter like Mingzhou Garment Factory. As long as she persists, the superiors will make a wise choice.
If it really doesn’t work, then pull people out and make Nine Wolves men’s clothing. If Mingzhou is not suitable, you can still open a clothing factory in Huating!
Cao Yuru has made up his mind.
“Well, that’s good. Your joint-stock reform is the first step. When my contract period is up, I will also ask for the joint-stock reform of Mingzhou Group.”
In the past, it was just a contract operation. Next, we need to take a more important step.
Since they are paying taxes to Mingzhou City and have a relationship with their father-in-law, those guys will definitely not be able to say anything. If they dare to object, then they can open a purely private shipyard near the aircraft carrier park.
Mingzhou Shipyard has been able to develop to this point entirely due to Qin Tao's personal efforts. Although Qin Tao is not here often, he is definitely the soul. If he leaves, Mingzhou City will simply not be able to take over such a mess.
At this moment, a voice sounded from the TV that had been used as background music.
"Now play the news we just received. This year's No. 4 tropical storm has hit the southern waters of our country. A fishing boat has disappeared near Shuangsha Island. The life and death of the crew members on it are currently unknown. We remind those operating at sea to be careful. For this tropical storm, we need to wait until the tropical storm is completely over before we can start search and rescue operations."
Qin Baoshan and Cao Yuru did not attach much importance to the news. In their eyes, storms at sea were ordinary.
However, Wu Shengli and Qin Tao looked at each other.
The opportunity has finally come. Now everything is ready and the east wind has blown!
“Dad, Mom, I have to leave again tomorrow.”
"Well, let's go, go back, go back to Huating, and take more care of Xiaoling. By the way, when the due date comes, no matter how busy we are, we will definitely get there." Cao Yuru said.
Qin Tao smiled. There were many things that he didn’t need to explain clearly to his parents to save them from worrying.
Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao: "Take a helicopter?"
“No, take a boat. Tomorrow the Zhenhua No. 1 will undergo a sea trial. I’ll take that boat.”
Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with interest. He didn't know why Qin Tao changed his gender. In short, it was definitely not to save money.
Qin Tao smiled: "It's easy to attract people's attention by flying and going into battle."
They were playing riddles, and Qin Baoshan and Cao Yuru just listened.
The next day, it was still dark, and the shipyard was dimly lit.
“Mr. Qin, we are ready!” Captain Peng Weiyuan, the leader of two rows of people standing on the pier, said.
During the construction of Zhenhua No. 1, Zhenhua Heavy Industries had already recruited crew members. Peng Weiyuan, who was in his thirties, was fortunate enough to become the captain of this ship.
The first row are all crew members, and the second row are shipbuilders. They are led by Li Siqi.
The scale of the shipyard is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more staff and more and more positions. Li Siqi, who is in his thirties, was poached from other shipyards by Qin Baoshan despite his reputation because of his superb skills. , when the Zhenhua No. 1 extra-large cargo ship was being renovated, he was appointed as the person in charge of the construction of the ship.
For him, this is a new beginning, because orders for Zhenhua 2 and Zhenhua 3 have already come, and he will become an expert in manufacturing such ships in the future.
“Yes, please give instructions!”
"Today, Zhenhua No. 1 will go to sea and perform a special mission at the same time. I will also participate in it. Now, if you have any difficulties, you can come down, but when you get on the ship, I don't want to see anyone shouting Quit."
No one came out, and everyone’s eyes were full of excitement.
Mr. Qin went to sea with him and had to perform special tasks, which had never happened before!
●This mission must be very important. Being able to go out with Mr. Qin, no matter how big the risk is, it is worth it!
“Okay, since no one is backing down, let’s go together. Now, start the engine and lift the cargo!”
Everyone got on board.
Although it is the first sea trial, since it was originally modified from a tanker, there is no problem with navigation. Even if the belly is cut off, but it has been strengthened, the strength of the Mingzhou Group Design Office is still very strong.
The crane at the stern of the ship started to operate, and the long boom stretched out to lift up those weird platforms and houses made of reinforced concrete on the shore.
When they were about to set sail, another group of people wearing sea soul shirts quietly boarded the Zhenhua No. 1 and set off together.
