"Mom, why didn't you see Shiyu?" Zhao Ling returned to the family home and saw Cao Yuru who was busy, but not Nie Shiyu, and was very curious.

"This child said he wanted to study hard, so even though he was on winter vacation, he still applied to stay in the nursing school. He can continue to study hard without being affected by the school." Cao Yuru said, "I went to see him a few times.

She lost a lot of weight. Alas, it was really hard for her to go to a good university."

Zhao Ling frowned: "Aren't you going to have this New Year's Eve dinner at home?"

"Well, let's wait until there is time for Taozi to send some New Year's Eve dinner to Shiyu."

"Brother Tao and I will go together." Zhao Ling said, "I have to go and see. Shiyu is at school. If she studies hard, it's okay. If she falls in love..."

Zhao Ling has already fulfilled her duties as a sister-in-law.

When night fell, Qin Tao came back, and then he and Zhao Ling went to deliver food. When they came back, it was already after eight o'clock in the evening.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV. Dad Qin Baoshan had gone to celebrate the New Year with the workers. There were only three people left in the house, which seemed a little deserted.

"Is Shiyu, the kid, okay?"

"Well, she is actually studying the second-year high school courses on her own, and she plans to apply for the exam a year early. Really, I don't know what she is thinking." Qin Tao was a little speechless: "This is all my fault. What did you say to her to get into a first-class university?

It’s a lot of pressure.”

"As long as we don't fall in love at school, we should be happy if she makes progress." Zhao Ling said, putting a piece of meat into Qin Tao's bowl: "Here, try this, I made it."

"good."

Qin Tao felt a little strange in his heart. When he went to see Nie Shiyu this time, he felt that she was not as close to him as before. Although she was still smiling, there seemed to be something behind her.

However, Qin Tao quickly forgot about this matter. After all, he still had many things to consider. Nie Shiyu was under great pressure, maybe that was the reason.

"Brother Tao, we only have three days off during the Chinese New Year, so let's spend it here. Over there in the capital, just give my dad a call." Zhao Ling said.

After getting married, it is different from when you were not married, especially in the first year, all etiquette must be fulfilled.

When Zhao Ling said this, she originally just told Qin Tao not to worry too much, but with Qin Tao, the meaning was different.

"Of course I have to go there." Qin Tao said: "In this first year of marriage, if I don't go back to my parents' house to see it, the old man will definitely be unhappy, although he won't say it. Let's set off in the evening on the first day of the new year, and we will go on the second day of the new year.

Now that we can reach the capital, let’s leave in the afternoon of the second day of junior high school without delaying your work in the third year of junior high school.”

"That won't work, you're too tired."

"I can find a driver. There are many drivers in the factory."

Four-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged toads, not just from their shipyards, but also from their transportation companies, and there are countless drivers.

Zhao Ling still wanted to object, but Qin Tao had already made up his mind: "I have the final say on this matter!"

Qin Tao showed the courage of a group boss, so Zhao Ling had no choice but to accept it.

"Taozi, you can't talk like this in the future. The couple will live together and discuss it. Xiaoling, if Taozi bullies you in the future, just tell her mother." Cao Yuru said.

"Um."

"Mom, please stop messing around. What's the use of telling you? It's better to tell Xiaoling her father, who is much more powerful than you."

Zhao Ling burst out laughing.

The atmosphere became lively again. Qin Tao looked at his mother: "Mom, do you have any problems in your factory? If you have any, please tell me and I will help you solve them."

"No need, your mother can still handle things in the factory. Now we just follow the route you mentioned. Our factory has started to develop the Eight Wolf men's clothing brand. It's pretty good so far."

Qin Tao nodded. My mother came on stage. She was quite courageous and started to build a brand. He rolled his eyes and then said: "We must enter the first-tier market. Huating can be placed in our Dingmai Supermarket."

, placed together with foreign goods."

Supermarkets not only sell snacks, but also sell many other things. Clothing is one of them. When placed together with foreign goods, the style becomes very high.

"The supermarket over at Huating?"

"That's right, we also own half of the shares, just let me say hello." Qin Tao started to take over everything.

Cao Yuru nodded, she had unconditional trust in her son, and whatever her son said would come true.

While he was talking, the big brother Qin Tao placed on the table rang loudly.

"What? A foreigner is here? Isn't this foreigner not celebrating the Chinese New Year?" Qin Tao was speechless: "Are they here to inspect our production of natural gas carriers? No? Then why are they here? Capesize bulk carriers?"

Putting down the phone, Qin Tao felt helpless.

"When the customer comes, go pick him up." Zhao Ling said.

"Huh, these foreigners don't respect our traditions at all. We are celebrating the New Year. Why are they coming to our place?" Qin Tao said: "We won't go today. We will take the time to see them tomorrow. We can't delay us.

New Year."

"Brother Tao, business is important."

"Humph, how can foreigners be so kind? They came to us because they had no other choice."

"No way?" Zhao Ling was a little curious.

"Yes, the 150,000-ton Capesize bulk carrier is a trap. Currently, the majority of such bulk carriers in the world are Cape Sails. In recent years, several accidents have occurred in succession.

Some have sunk and some have broken. Therefore, the world's major shipyards no longer accept this type of ship." Qin Tao said: "Foreigners are not here to order urgently needed natural gas ships. How can I be so kind as to deliver them to my door?

Order?”

There are many categories of ships sailing in the world, and bulk carriers are one of them. They specialize in transporting goods that do not need to be bundled, such as coal, iron ore, timber, livestock, cereals, etc.

At the same time, these bulk carriers are divided into many types.

Flexible bulk carriers have a load capacity between 20,000 tons and 50,000 tons. These smaller tonnage ships have strong adaptability to routes, canals and seaports, have moderate cargo weight, and can carry multiple loads.

Cargo loading and unloading machinery and equipment are convenient and flexible to operate, so they are called "flexible".

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The larger one is the Panamax bulk carrier. As the name suggests, this kind of ship can pass through the Panama Canal when fully loaded, that is, the total length of the ship does not exceed

274.32 meters, with a width of no more than 32.30 meters. This kind of ship is generally 60,000 to 70,000 tons.

Larger than it is the Cape-size bulk carrier. This type of ship is mainly used to transport iron ore. It does not need to pass through the Panama Canal and Suez Canal. If necessary, it needs to detour around the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn, so it can be made very large.

Fifty thousand tons is a common tonnage.

Although it takes a long way, the benefits are still considerable because of the large loading capacity. After all, this kind of ship does not transport high-value goods, and economy is very important. The bigger the better.

But at the same time, as the ship gets bigger, problems arise.

This is definitely not just a matter of enlarging the ship proportionally. When the ship gets bigger, the stiffness will be poor, and key parts must be strengthened. Even so, once encountering strong winds and waves at sea, the bottom of the hull will be unevenly stressed, and it may also be damaged.

Something went wrong.

If it is a small ship, it can pass through the waves. Although it will be bumpy, it will be safer. For a large ship, the bottom of the ship may be hit by a large number of waves at the same time. Those broken ships were all destroyed in this way.

It's like a heavy-duty truck. It was driving on a flat road without any problems, but when it encountered a pothole, it bumped a bit, and suddenly, the frame of the truck broke with a sudden click!

Although Qin Tao has been busy getting things from Lao Maozi, he still knows a lot about the maritime industry in various countries. Such bulk carriers have been involved in accidents one after another. Which shipyard dares to build them?

If the other party comes to our place and takes the initiative, it has a purpose.

"If this is the case, then we should reject it?" Zhao Ling asked.

Although Zhao Ling did not stay in the group as Qin Tao's secretary according to Qin Tao's wishes, Zhao Ling was still very concerned about the things here. If there were difficulties, she would just stop them.

Qin Tao smiled: "Turn it down? Why? Our shipyard has invested heavily in building a 400,000-ton dock. Now there is an order for a 150,000-ton bulk carrier. The two ships can be built together.

, the investment in the dock will be recovered."

Of course it must be built! Qin Tao is very determined about this.

Zhao Ling looked at him in surprise: "Didn't you say that all the large shipyards in the world would not dare to accept this kind of contract?"

"It is precisely because we dare not take it that it shows the strength of our shipyard." Qin Tao said: "We can build any difficult ship type, but we will never engage in low-price competition. Let us

You can build it, but you have to pay a high price!”

Of course I have to accept the business that comes to my door, but I have to make a lot of money through this business.

In the past, their shipyard could only build ships of a few thousand tons. Even if they received a contract for an aircraft carrier, they would only be of the 10,000-ton level. Next, they will build large ships of hundreds of thousands of tons.

, this is of great significance to Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group.

However, profits must be guaranteed, and Qin Tao does not do cheap business.

Mingzhou Shipyard Reception Office.

The reception office is also newly built. After all, with the continuous development of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, more and more guests are coming. Some come here to inspect, some come to place orders, and some come to supervise work. These people must have

address.

These reception rooms are all built to high standards. Although they are not large, they are equipped with hot water, TV and telephone. There is also a canteen on the first floor of the reception area, which can provide them with delicious meals.

At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, but a group of people who had just checked into the guest house could not sleep at all.

Cammy Siglon, chairman of the Belgian company Campbell-Follett, stood in front of the window. The location was good and he could clearly see the lights in the nearby shipyard.

Although today is New Year's Eve, the workers in the factory are still working overtime. Sparks are flying on the slipway. The huge aircraft carrier and 051C warship are being welded intensively. In the dock nearby, there are natural gas ships, yachts and

The missile boats are also under construction, and on the beach not far away, a 400,000-ton shipyard is also under construction, with gantry cranes moving back and forth, carrying tracking and domestic supplies.

"Today is the most important holiday here, right? At this time, they still don't rest and are still working?" Kami said.

"Yes, Mr. Chairman." Kami's assistant Carrasco said: "Although this shipyard has only started up recently, they are in a period of vigorous development. They have many orders, whether they are civilian ships or warships.
