Chapter 562 Asking for God’s Protection
Chapter 562 Asking for God’s Protection
A month later, at the Shenchengwan Wharf, two gantry cranes were busy at work. In the noisy environment, workers checked the list, inspected the goods, and stared at the containers one by one, lifting them into the cargo ship.
Several customs comrades were keeping watch on the scene, fearing for any mistakes.
Huang Zhe wore a yellow helmet, a white shirt, and put his hands on his hips. He said proudly, "Mr. Yin, this batch of goods is now in your hands."
Yin Zhaotang took the document handed over by his subordinate, confirmed that it was correct, signed and ordered the freighter to depart.
"Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I will deliver it safely."
OOCL employees took the documents and called out on the intercom, “Set sail!”
"set sail!"
The large cargo ship, loaded with ten Hongqi-4 air defense systems and one hundred missiles, sounded its horn, left the port and sailed into the ocean.
"We have finished our work, goodbye, leaders." A customs section chief stepped forward and saluted.
Yin Zhaotang nodded slowly and replied, "Thank you for your hard work, comrade."
"It's my duty." The customs chief smiled, waved his hand and led everyone into the car.
Huang Zhe withdrew his gaze, secretly hoping that the goods could be delivered successfully.
So far, the embargo is still in effect, especially arms trade, which has always been strictly opposed by Europe and the United States. Every time Chinese weapons are equipped in other countries, European and American countries come out to protest.
But it still cannot stop the development of China, and more and more Chinese products will be presented to the world, not only in the textile industry and handicraft industry.
Military industry, aerospace industry, electronics industry, Internet
All walks of life are moving towards the world step by step!
The country has long proved with its strength that any ban that is not recognized by China is nonsense, and any regulations that are not recognized by the Chinese are just a piece of waste paper.
When the whistle of the departure ship disappeared over the emerging port, Huang Zhe took out a box of Camel brand cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to the person beside him, and said with a smile: "I got a reply to your request last time."
Yin Zhaotang turned on his lighter and was about to cover his cigarette when he heard this: "What about the tanker?"
Huang Zhe nodded: "Yes, Dalian Shipyard has decided to convert the two 'Great Wall' into tankers and lease them to OOCL for use. The annual rent is HK$100,000 for a period of five years, with one additional condition. If OOCL needs to purchase an international cruise ship of less than 100,000 tons next time, it must give priority to Dalian Shipyard's proposal."
Yin Zhaotang blew out white mist and waved his hand to agree: "No problem!"
In fact, it is a good thing for China to take the opportunity to develop the domestic shipbuilding industry after investing in OOCL. Transferring foreign purchase orders back to China is just a small step.
However, the domestic shipbuilding industry was weak, and Huang Zhe lacked confidence. Fearing that the major shareholders would object, he took out an oil tanker with an annual rent of 100,000 as a gesture of goodwill.
This price is no different from giving it away for free. Dalian Shipyard is really willing to spend money like this. It deserves to be a large factory that can build aircraft carriers in the future!
Huang Zhe was once again surprised by Shen Xian Tang's generosity, but he seemed to have expected the result. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The technology of Dalian Shipyard may not be as good as that of foreign countries, but we are focusing on being cheap and will never let Yin Sheng suffer any loss."
Yin Zhaotang's eyes were mysterious and kind: "I have seen some information about Dalian Shipyard. In terms of engineering capabilities, they can already build medium-sized ships of 50,000 tons."
"It's just that the technology is weak and research and development is difficult. By using small boats to cultivate technology, over time, there will definitely be a chance to build large ships."
Huang Zhe sighed, "Alas, I'm sorry to hear Yin Shengji's words."
A 50,000-ton ship is not bad, and there are only a few countries in the world that can build one. But the diesel and steam engine technology of Dalian Shipyard is two generations behind, and the pollution is seriously exceeded, violating the marine protection standards, and it is prohibited from entering international waters.
A ship that is banned from going to sea has no export market.
The two test ships used for demonstration can only linger along the coastal lines and be responsible for domestic transportation.
The Great Wall was a new model ship in 1982, with a load capacity of 2.7 tons, and finally met the marine protection standards and could sail to the high seas. The first version was a bulk carrier, but with the right technology, ships of the same level, whether cargo ships, tankers, or warships, can basically be rebuilt.
If the two Great Walls were converted into oil tankers, even if their carrying capacity was only 2.7 tons, the total would be 5.4 tons. Crude oil worth million US dollars could be transported back to China in two trips.
It can't compare with Japan, South Korea, the Soviet Union and the United States, which are in the limelight, but it is enough to lend to Lao Zhong. If a "Hong Kong and Guangdong oil king" is really cultivated, orders for oil tankers and cargo ships will be placed at the Dalian Shipyard.
The domestic shipbuilding industry may speed up!
The shipbuilding industry and the aircraft industry are not only scientific research directions, but also large-scale projects.
It requires systematic and long-term training of technicians to calibrate each screw and weld each steel plate.
You can't build a big ship with just a bunch of drawings and a few experts. It requires millions of workers and generations of talent.
Under the impact of reform and opening up, the Dalian Shipyard could no longer support enough workers.
The slogan "It is better to buy than to make, and Chinese products are not as good as foreign ones" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the military and scientific research institutions.
If it weren't for the capture of the Great Wall, which had a demonstration effect and brought hope of profitability to the Dalian Shipyard, there wouldn't even be enough people to repair aircraft carriers in the future.
Build an aircraft carrier?
Let's wait another ten or twenty years.
Yin Zhaotang had witnessed with his own eyes how the domestic shipbuilding industry grew from weak to strong, replacing Japan and South Korea, and he had also witnessed the grand occasion of the "Chinese three-carrier formation".
From Huang Zhe's words, I can understand the difficulties faced by everyone in the domestic industrial system in the 1980s.
Sometimes you don't even need to think about the interests of your country and your family. A shipyard represents thousands of employees, including experts, workers, and apprentices. Behind every oil-stained face and helmet is a family.
Patting Huang Zhe on the shoulder, Yin Zhaotang smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, I will accept the oil. After the Great Wall is modified, I will go to Iran to transport the oil."
"One year, one year is enough to get it done!"
Huang Zhe patted his chest and promised.
In one year, the Shekou refinery and the aircraft exported to Iran will be delivered and completed, and the oil will be brought back in just the right time.
After seeing Huang Zhe off to the Toyota, Yin Zhaotang took his brothers back to the Nanhai Hotel. As it was too late, the customs clearance port was closed.
But after entering the Nanhai Hotel, he did not go upstairs directly, but went straight to the Guan Gong shrine in the lobby on the first floor.
Due to the mainland's "anti-superstition and anti-feudalism" policy, even in Guangdong Province, where clans are predominant, no one dares to set up shrines or altars in public business premises.
However, Nanhai Hotel is a high-end hotel jointly built by Shenzhen China Merchants Group, Shanghai HSBC, Miramar Group and Shenzhen Bank.
They invested HK$2.2 million and each holds % of the shares. The management company, Miramar Group, is a subsidiary of Henderson Land Development specializing in hotel investment.
It is said that Hong Kong businessmen have privileges, but compatriots are exempt.
In the hotel lobby, in a corner of the left screen, there stands a shrine of Guan Gong.
The fire flickered and the smoke became like silk.
At first glance, you can tell that the statue was made by a master and was very expensive. The incense table is spotless and is cleaned every day.
This transaction is of great importance, and we need God’s protection!
In the era without the three-carrier formation and the 052 destroyer, he had traditional solutions.
