Chapter 86
Qin Tao was speechless. His plan to install multiple external engines was actually based on the design of criminals' smuggling speedboats. If he was to say that he plagiarized it, he copied it from the criminals.
Now, when the customs has such speedboats, if criminals want to continue smuggling, they must find ways to increase their speed, attach multiple external engines, and form a large flight on the sea, which is normal. .
It is true that I have a promoting effect, but it is impossible to blame it on myself.
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Qin Baoshan quickly smoothed things over: "This criminal is really cunning. We didn't expect it to be like this. It was self-defeating. Captain Liu, are you in a difficult situation now?"
"Yes, we can't catch up or bump into each other now, and we have already sacrificed several comrades." Liu Jie said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and these people are even crazier, so we plan to go there this time We asked Huating Shipyard for help and asked them to help solve the problem, but when we saw this ship, we knew that we don’t need to go to Huating Shipyard, we have what we want here.”
Qin Tao was a little annoyed at first, but when he heard Liu Jie say that several comrades had been sacrificed, Qin Tao's heart sank slightly. It is not easy to protect the motherland. These criminals have long been Just ignore the law. They will resist arrest and even deliberately ram anti-smuggling boats. The comrades at the customs are protecting the motherland with their lives!
"So, we ask the shipyard to give us this ship so that we can build another one for the customer. This kind of ship is not big and can be built very quickly. It should be able to meet the delivery date agreed by the user." Liu Jie said .
Qin Tao nodded: "We don't care about this, but I can give you a phone number. You can call this number and contact the customer. If the customer agrees, we can modify the ship and give it to the sea. Close use."
Anyway, that water bus company was originally a shell company. The number given by Qin Tao was actually the number at Huilou. This boat was used for testing, whether it was transporting passengers for testing or anti-smuggling at sea. *Test, all the same.
Even, the latter is better because it can be driven more violently. Moreover, customs is rich! If this ship is transferred to the customs, then in terms of price, tsk tsk.
Liu Jie was stunned when he got the phone number, and then went to the shipyard office to make a call. Zhu Xiangjun stayed here, still communicating with Qin Tao.
“Can the speed of this boat be faster?”
After all, those big planes equipped with multiple high-horsepower engines are really too fast. For them, the faster the better.
Qin Tao shook his head: "If you don't need the top cover and remove the cabin, you can save weight and increase the speed slightly. If it is faster, it can only be a hovercraft or hydrofoil, which leaves the water. , can achieve a higher speed, but for you, the speed of this ship is enough, what you want to chase is the Dafei filled with cargo."
A large speed boat with no load can reach 80 knots, but at the same time, this kind of crazy speed also comes at a price. Those speedboats are too light, and their stability at high speeds will be very poor. Even if they encounter strong winds and waves, they may It will capsize. After loading the cargo, it is considered stable, but the speed will also decrease, which is just a little higher than fifty knots.
This kind of high-speed wave-piercing catamaran has been fixed, and it is impossible to install more engines and waterjet propellers. It is impossible to increase its speed.
Fifty-five knots is already outrageous. You must know that in this era, normal cargo ships have more than ten knots, and even those super tankers will only have a speed of a few knots, swaying slowly.
Discussing the modification of the boat, Liu Jie has returned. He excitedly said to Qin Tao: "The navy...the water bus company has agreed to transfer this boat to us. We will take it away today."
"Okay, then...old man, could you please call and verify?" Qin Tao looked at his father beside him.
Qin Baoshan was a little surprised. Are you still verifying it now? Doesn’t it mean that you don’t trust others?
“Old man, this is just a routine procedure. If there is an accident, the consequences will be serious.”
Although he has built a company shell, after all, it belongs to the Navy. If there is any mistake and it is not verified, Qin Baoshan may even be at risk of going to jail.
So, Qin Baoshan could only laugh along with him: "Captain Liu, I'm sorry, I have to make a phone call."
Qin Baoshan left, muttering: If I had known that verification was needed, Captain Liu and I would have gone to the office to make a phone call. Couldn't we have verified it on the spot?
When Qin Baoshan left, Qin Tao looked at Liu Jie and Zhu Xiangjun and said: "Both, the cost of this ship is 10 million, and we won't charge more. Supporting the customs is supporting the motherland. It's symbolic." Just give us one million in labor fees, so how about the total price is eleven million? For other matters, we will negotiate with the client separately, so you don’t need to worry too much."
(Don’t scold the Holy Mother now, let’s send the old man away. This price should be good. There are different opinions on the cost of the 022 missile boat. Some say 100 million, some say 38 million, but that’s all It’s the price of the new century, and it’s still equipped with weapons. A passenger ship like ours is just a shell. It costs 11 million, which is a lot, right?)
Liu Jie took a breath: "So expensive?"
"There is no way." Qin Tao said: "Look, the steel plates used in shipbuilding are high-strength, special steel plates for aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. The power system here uses two MTU diesel engines, and This waterjet propulsion was imported from the UK, otherwise how could it have such a high speed? We spent three million to purchase just the design drawings of this catamaran from outside."
At the beginning, the ten-ton high-speed boat was purchased from the island country and cost hundreds of thousands. It is no problem to spend 3 million on the design drawings of this kind of catamaran.
What Qin Tao said was a matter of conscience!
Nie Shiyu opened her eyes wide, looked at Qin Tao, and thought of the scene when she and Qin Tao went to Lao Maozi's place. The expression on Qin Tao's face now is exactly the same as before, humans and animals are harmless.
It was his father's decision to build dredgers for the water affairs department and contribute the technology of the dredgers. Qin Tao had no way to object, and after all, the country really needed it. At the most critical moment, the water affairs department did not Money, but this customs is definitely rich.
For a shipyard to survive, it must make a profit. It is not enough to always promote style.
Liu Jie and Zhu Xiangjun looked at each other, and then Liu Jie nodded: "Okay, then eleven million, Lao Zhu, you go back immediately, follow the procedures, and ask the finance department to send the money as soon as possible tomorrow."
"That's just right. This ship also needs to be modified. Our shipyard workers are not here for the Chinese New Year. They work overtime here all night long. We must complete all the modification work tomorrow and hand it over to you." Qin Tao said.
