Chapter 279 Are We Afraid of Competition? [Request for Full Order]
Bill Yellen was completely dumbfounded.
He looked at the big screen and saw the huge tanker slowly rising in the dry dock.
The tanker was so huge that the people on the shore looked like ants.
This ship is so beautiful and so huge.
Bill Yellen felt like he didn't have enough brains.
How could the Dragon Kingdom quietly create a technologically complex supertanker?
How did they do it?
Who gave them the technology?
Is it a stick or a foot basin?
Before this, Yusak had sternly warned the two dogs not to help the dragon!
Damn it, are dogs not listening anymore?
Bill Yellen felt his face burning, as if he had just been slapped several times.
On the big screen, the giant ship was launched, the dry dock gate was fully opened, and the tugboat was already hauling the giant ship out of the dock with a humming sound.
The voice-over narration continued.
The voice-over introduces the entire process of this giant ship from research and development to construction.
This large ship has nearly a hundred technological breakthroughs, from the power plant to electronic control to safety facilities, all of which are world-class!
The most important thing is: it costs much less than sticks and foot basins.
This ship is of epoch-making significance.
Its birth indicates that Long has fully mastered the technology to independently build ultra-large commercial ships.
This will inevitably break the current balance of the world's shipbuilding industry...
Bill Yellen sighed.
In his heart, he already knew: the technology of this ship definitely did not come from Yusa's camp.
And Big Bear definitely doesn't have this technology.
Perhaps, this is really possible that this is a technology they developed themselves.
Bill Yellen is sad and deeply lost.
At this time, Petrov said to him sarcastically: "Bill, I see you seem very disappointed."
"Now, you should know how correct my advice to you was, right?"
"Stop trying to strangle it."
"I can tell you clearly that all your efforts are in vain."
Bill Yellen shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.
“Man, maybe, this news is fake.”
"Don't take it seriously."
Bill Yellen could only say this with a thick face.
Petrov laughed and said, "Bill, you are really hilarious."
"Your condition can be described with an idiom from Dragon Country: deceiving yourself and others!"
"You simply cannot accept the fact that the Dragon Nation is so powerful."
"So, you can only deceive yourself and numb yourself."
"Of course, this is actually not bad. It can greatly alleviate the pain you are feeling right now!"
A burst of laughter rang out in the small area around.
On the stage, the video on the big screen has finished playing.
There was thunderous cheers and applause at the Spring Festival Gala.
In recent years, there has actually been a constant flow of good news for Dragon Country.
The world's leading chip industry chain, the world's leading Great Wall Computer, 8-ton die-forging hydraulic presses, advanced third-generation fighters, advanced series of radars, advanced series of missiles, and the Starship large aircraft...
The people of Long Country are actually a bit aesthetically fatigued.
Because now the country has become more and more outstanding in the proactive field!
But even so, the news of the first 20-ton supertanker still excited the people of the whole country.
Because, as everyone knows! Shipbuilding can be said to be one of the most obvious shortcomings of our Dragon Country!
Now, even the shipbuilding industry is making breakthroughs!
How can this not be inspiring?
At the Spring Festival Gala, Wang Haoran and Feng Xiang walked out from backstage together amid the cheers of the audience.
Seeing Wang Haoran walk out, the scene became lively again.
People were shouting Wang Haoran's name.
“Wang Haoran!”
“Wang Haoran!”
Everyone knows that the huge and rapid breakthrough of Longguo's super-large oil tankers is inseparable from the efforts of Wang Haoran.
It was under the leadership of Wang Haoran that this giant oil tanker carrying the hopes of the people of the whole country was built so quickly.
Wang Haoran was also very excited.
By the way, it was his first time to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
He waved and walked to the host's side.
The scene fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for Wang Haoran to speak.
Bill Yellen muttered at this time: "The technology of oil tankers is not actually the most advanced. In fact, the most difficult ships to build are large LNG ships and aircraft carriers!"
"I really don't know what they have to be happy about. We could have built such tankers decades ago."
Petrov, who was sitting not far from Bill Yellen, laughed and said, "Bill, I think you'd better be quiet. Maybe they are also making breakthroughs as you said."
"Besides, you were able to build giant oil tankers before, can you still do it now?"
Just this one sentence choked Bill Yellen to the point where he was speechless.
Yes, you could build giant oil tankers before, can you still do it now?
China's shipbuilding industry is actually declining rapidly now.
They once had the most powerful shipbuilding industry in the world, but now, they have castrated this capability on their own initiative.
Because, squid is rapidly financializing.
The financial oligarchs consider industry a liability.
They can make a lot of money quickly by playing with finance, so why do you want them to go into industry?
They would think it was something a fool would do.
On the stage, the host was already talking to Wang Haoran and Feng Xiang according to the script.
Wang Haoran behaved very steadily. He answered questions appropriately with a smile.
He said: "The technological breakthrough of the super-large tanker is just the beginning."
"We will continue our research and development and strive to build other advanced commercial ships. For example, we have made a major breakthrough in the technology of LNG ships!"
"Of course, we already have enough technological accumulation to build our own large ships!"
"If one day we build large aircraft carriers and large destroyers, don't be too surprised!"
"If the Lizard can build a ship, we can also build one!"
"We will definitely have our own aircraft carriers and advanced destroyers in the near future, and eventually form a powerful fleet to cruise the oceans of the world!"
"Of course, I want to emphasize here that we are the guardians of world peace! Our ultimate goal is to enable people from all over the world to live and work in peace and contentment, so that there will be no more war and suffering in this world..."
Before Wang Haoran finished speaking, warm applause broke out at the scene.
Petrov was also clapping hard.
While clapping, he glanced at Bill Yellen and said, "Bill, look at Wang Haoran's pattern and compare it with yourself!"
"You are just a bunch of rubbish. You are making trouble everywhere just to protect the interests of your small group of super rich people! You should feel ashamed!"
Bill Yellen's face flushed, he stiffened his neck and said with wide eyes: "You guys are not much better!"
"Don't you guys bully the weak everywhere?"
"Also, don't listen to their lies. Their ultimate goal is to overwhelm us and become the overlord of this world!"
Petrov laughed and said, "Look, you're getting impatient."
"We have indeed taken some detours in the past, but now we are planning to make changes." "Also, don't think that others are as bad as you are!"
“You have no idea what a truly great dream looks like.”
Although Wang Haoran's speech at the Spring Festival Gala was not long, its impact was still huge.
Because the dragon is already a powerful being now!
We are now also constantly promoting our culture and expanding its publicity to the outside world.
Like tonight's Spring Festival Gala, it has gone abroad and was broadcast in many countries under the banner of promoting the cultural customs of the Spring Festival.
Many envoys were invited to participate in tonight's evening party, and they naturally saw the Dragon Kingdom's strength in the design and construction of giant oil tankers for the first time.
Among them, there are many oil exporting countries.
For example, camels, dates, etc.
For oil exporting countries, transporting their own oil is a big problem.
They often also want to build their own large transport fleet.
But now, almost all of the major world shipping fleets are in the hands of the Lizards.
For these oil-producing countries in the desert areas, it is very important to change the current situation.
Camel is indeed getting closer to Squid now.
But in this kind of relationship, the camel found that he was always bullied.
Moreover, even if it earns a lot of dollars, the price is decided by Yusa and it has no control over it.
This situation is definitely not good.
After entering the 80s, as the dragon and the bear reconciled, the bear began to gradually change its previous strategies, mainly because it absorbed some good suggestions from the dragon. It began to become more flexible and no longer so domineering.
No longer seek to change others.
This way, the camel feels less threatened by the bear.
The camel and the bear began to reconcile.
At the same time, Camel had established diplomatic relations with Dragon in the early 80s, and it had even begun purchasing Dragon's Starship passenger aircraft.
Driven by camels, countries in the desert areas began to establish diplomatic relations with dragons.
The dragon is quite good at winning people's hearts.
In short, today's camels are also adept at diplomacy and have begun to embark on the path of diversification of foreign exchanges.
It is said that when Camel's Consul Abdullah saw Dragon's oil tanker, he was deeply moved.
I didn’t expect that dragons could build such a huge oil tanker?
Moreover, is the cost so much cheaper than sticks?
So if we order an oil tanker from Long, wouldn’t it be much cheaper than ordering it from Bangbang or Jiaoben?
The most crucial point: this can be regarded as a continuous deepening of the relationship with Long.
Camel now really dislikes Jusa.
Because this thing is full of meddling and interference, and it always sells useless stuff, and the fees are very expensive.
Camels don't mind paying protection money.
But the key is that the other party is greedy!
Not only did he take the money, he also thought he was the other person's father.
Who can bear this?
So, the camel has had a bit of enough now.
It has made a major shift: instead of just befriending the Squid gang, it is looking east.
Abdullah decided that after the party, he would talk to Wang Haoran about ordering a few oil tankers to provide support.
Before, Camel must have had some doubts about Dragon’s products.
However, after using the Starship aircraft, they found that Dragon's product quality and technical strength were no worse than those of Yusa.
This Starship aircraft is really easy to use.
Not only does it have low fuel consumption, but the aircraft is also comfortable and its various advanced facilities are much higher than those of the Boeing in Jusa.
Camel and other desert countries have successively ordered nearly one hundred Starship aircraft from Dragon.
They later ordered Starship's large aircraft, the Starship 230, as their country's special aircraft.
Of course, with the rapid economic development of the Dragon, they have now become the largest importer of oil from countries such as Camel.
Long has now rapidly replaced Jusa as the world's largest oil importer.
He imports as much as 200 to 300 million tons every year.
He divided the list into many parts.
Among them, nearly 100 million tons are imported from bears every year.
Camels are also a major export to dragons.
After Wang Haoran and Feng Xiang appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, both of them planned to leave as soon as possible.
After all, it’s the New Year, no matter how busy you are, you still have to go home and spend time with your family, right?
The two returned to the backstage and planned to leave and go home.
Just at this moment, a staff member hurried over.
"Comrade Haoran, Comrade Feng Xiang, Camel's ambassador wants to talk to you about purchasing a tanker."
"How about asking him to come over later and have a brief chat here first?"
Feng Xiang was overjoyed.
This... The country's first 20-ton giant oil tanker has just been announced to be launched, and orders have come in?
Isn't this great?
Feng Xiang naturally hopes to talk to the big customers and open the channel for export tankers as soon as possible.
You know, at this time, buying a 20-ton giant oil tanker would cost hundreds of millions of dollars!
Moreover, there are only two countries that can build such large oil tankers nowadays, one is Bangbang and the other is Jiaoben.
The price of the stick is slightly cheaper than the foot basin, but it still costs nearly $100 million.
The foot basin is priced at at least $1.3 million.
Because, Jiaoben believes that the reputation of Jiaoben Manufacturing has been established!
They always think that since foot basin manufacturing is synonymous with advanced technology, then it’s okay for me to charge you a little more, right? Because my boat is advanced and high-end!
However, they never expected that the ship owners would not buy it.
"Comrade Haoran, what do you think is a reasonable price for the camels?"
Feng Xiang was so excited that his breathing became rapid.
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Bangbang, the current price for a 20-ton tanker is about $1 million."
"We can offer a lower price than them, but it can't be too much lower."
"I think they'll have to pay $9 million."
"This way, we can still make about 4 million dollars."
Feng Xiang was still a little unconfident when he heard it. He scratched his head and said, "Is this offer really not high?"
"We are newcomers after all. If we ask for too high a price, will they be scared away because they doubt our ability?"
Wang Haoran shook his head and said, "You don't understand the camel's mind."
"He is eager to make friends with us now. If you give him a lower offer, he may still be uneasy."
"Also, although we are newbies, we have already created our high-tech image!"
"Hasn't our Starship aircraft been sold all over the world? As long as a company uses our aircraft, which one wouldn't give it a thumbs up?"
"In addition, we are world leaders in the fields of communications and electronic technology!"
"Comrade Feng Xiang, you must build up strong self-confidence!"
Feng Xiang nodded and said, "Comrade Haoran, you are right in your criticism. I am indeed a little bit unconfident."
"I feel that we will definitely have fierce conflicts and competition with Bangbang and Jiaoben in the field of shipbuilding."
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Are we afraid of competition?"
