After such a long trip, it was already May when Qin Tao returned to Mingzhou Shipyard. Since Qin Tao often went out in the past, Mingzhou Group could operate normally regardless of whether he was there or not, which shows that he

Earning a high salary every year is simply a waste, and the company will still run without him.

"The blocking ship has been built!" After returning, Qin Tao walked around the shipyard. The first thing he discovered was that the 100,000-ton luxury blocking ship had been driven out of the dock and towed to the outfitting dock nearby.

.

"Yes, your Mingzhou Group's actions are really slow. It has taken such a long time and we haven't finished building our blocking ship. Our green company can't wait any longer." A familiar voice came to my ears.

.

"Weina, when did you come?" Qin Tao turned his head and looked at the hairy woman with a bulging front and back, and a devilish figure.

Generally speaking, women with big hair will soon gain weight and become aunts after getting married, but before getting married, their figures are very beautiful.

"It has been here for a while. In recent years, the trend in the decoration industry has been changing, so we have made some changes. The decoration of the blocked boat must be done in accordance with the latest methods, so as not to fall behind if it is driven out."

Qin Tao nodded: "That's natural. Our Mingzhou Group will also listen to the opinions of customers and make changes at any time, but the construction period may be delayed."

"It doesn't matter if it's delayed, but I really haven't had much fun lately."

Hearing Vitalia's complaint, Qin Tao showed a mysterious expression on his face: "There is nothing to worry about recently, it must be very boring. I heard some things, if you are interested, you can participate, of course

It's your own identity. It's best to register a financial company specifically and don't have anything to do with our Mingzhou Group."

Vitalia suddenly became interested: "What's going on?"

Hearing the news whispered by Qin Tao, Vitalia was shocked: "International capital tycoons actually want to sweep away the wealth of a certain country? Isn't this incredible?"

"What Max said is that he has relationships with many capital tycoons, and this matter is expected to happen in a month or two. If you are interested, you can take advantage of the fire."

Vitalia's eyes were filled with excitement. That's right, the blockade in Ma'ang was no longer interesting. She had become the queen of blockbusters. This time she might as well block a big one!

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Leaving so soon? Let's talk more and have a meal before we leave."

"No, I have to start planning immediately. I will go and investigate first to see if there are any clues to what you said." Vitalia was very excited. Over the years, she has played more and more, and she has become more and more uncomfortable.

Enjoyable.

This time, sweeping the wealth of a country, or even multiple countries, is a rare thing in a lifetime. Once you encounter it, you must not miss it.

Looking at Vitalia's leaving figure, Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I sent her away."

After saying that, Qin Tao thought of something else and glanced at Xu Zhengyang beside him: "The secretary behind Vitalia just now, those eyes on you are still very hot."

Xu Zhengyang shook his head: "Mr. Qin, I know what you mean, but I'm not interested in her."

"I really don't know what type you like." Qin Tao sighed: "It's not good for you to reject people from thousands of miles away. When I meet the right one in the future, I will..."

"Mr. Qin, regarding the economic crisis in a few months, we have been planning for two or three years. Are we going to take this opportunity to completely defeat the Three Banks Group this time?" Xu Zhengyang changed the topic.

"It should be difficult to defeat Sanhang Group, but it is still possible for us to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Sanhang Heavy Industry. In this way, we will have one less competitor in the field of shipbuilding."

A few years ago, Qin Tao destroyed Dazhou Heavy Industries. This time, if Sanxing Heavy Industries is destroyed again, then Hyundai Heavy Industries will be the only shipbuilding company left in the South Kimchi Country, and the opponent's strength will be greatly reduced. Competitors in East Asia

Just one less.

"Mr. Qin, do you have any ideas about setting up a shipbuilding company in Wanwan?"

Hearing Xu Zhengyang's words, Qin Tao suddenly became interested: "Do you have any ideas?"

Qin Tao never thought about doing business there because it was not popular there. In Asia, the main domestic competitors are Japan and South Korea, so if you can defeat them, it counts. Wanwan does not have any advanced shipbuilding capabilities at all.

, they have been hovering in the middle and lower reaches for a long time.

Wanwan is strong in the electronics industry. One TSMC can make Wanwan extremely rich. They engage in SMIC and Loongson to compete with Wanwan. As long as they occupy the mainland market, they can make Wanwan very rich.

Let TSMC lose most of its profits.

Now, after hearing Xu Zhengyang's suggestion, he had realized that Xu Zhengyang had something in mind.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, although the shipbuilding industry in Wanwan is underdeveloped, it is still good after all. They can still build warships for themselves. If we destroy their shipbuilding industry, we will not be able to let them build warships."

Qin Tao nodded, he was worthy of being his bodyguard and secretary. Over the past few years, Xu Zhengyang has been getting closer and closer to Qin Tao in thinking.

"In recent years, the shipbuilding industry has become increasingly prosperous. In order to seize orders, various shipyards have begun to advance funds to build ships. Some shipyards with insufficient technical strength can even reduce the down payment to less than 10% in order to seize orders." Xu Zhengyang introduced.

: "The shipyards over at Wanwan used this method when they competed with us."

"Compete with us?"

"That's right, take the largest international shipyard in Wanwan as an example. Their main business is container ships, bulk carriers, frigates and other large ships, as well as oil tankers, semi-submersible heavy-load ships, refrigerated ships, and lift drilling platforms.

, self-unloading cement carriers and other types of ships. The last time they bid for bulk carriers from us, they grabbed our order with a 10% down payment."

There are many things that Qin Tao doesn't know about and are handled by his subordinates. Qin Tao's secretary Xu Zhengyang is very aware of these things.

The Mingzhou Group has developed. They never advance too much capital. Any order requires more than 50% down payment, and even more than 80% for special ship types. Although there are also a group of die-hard old customers.

, however, there are still some small customers who are unable to raise enough funds and, under the temptation of profits, choose Wanwan's shipyard.

"You dare to build it with a 10% down payment? This is a real poisonous order." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Even if we don't take action, they are still in crisis. If we do it even slightly, they will go bankrupt! Since it is

If it’s easy, just do it!”

"Yes!" Xu Zhengyang's eyes were filled with excitement.

In fact, Qin Tao did not attack Wanwan because he knew that this year's financial crisis did not affect Wanwan. Wanwan was very smart. Before the storm came, he immediately devalued the currency by 2%.

10. Coupled with the fact that Wanwan has the world’s third-largest foreign exchange reserves on hand, it allowed them to weather the crisis calmly.

However, the poisonous orders can still severely impact the shipbuilding industry in Wanwan. Since Xu Zhengyang wants to have fun, let him have fun.

The shipyard has been vacated, and the next step is to arrange the manufacture of aircraft carriers for the football country.

"Actually, if we had met the construction deadline, we would have been able to cut the steel plates and start building the aircraft carrier of Football Country a long time ago. We could have welded the sections on the side and directly hoisted them to the dock for final assembly. However, because Football Country's fund reimbursement is too small

It's slow, so we'll put it on hold for now." Babic introduced to Qin Tao.

The 001 aircraft carrier was about to be completed. Makarov went up every day to keep an eye on the outfitting progress, but Babbage had some free time and began to arrange for the start of the second aircraft carrier.

Compared with the previous one, this aircraft carrier is of greater significance because this aircraft carrier is a newly manufactured aircraft carrier in this shipyard.

Although Mingzhou Group has already built an aircraft carrier for Siam, the displacement of that aircraft carrier was only about 10,000 tons, and most of it was of civilian ship standard. Now the football country's ship has completely met the warship standard, with a displacement of

It also weighs 30,000 to 40,000 tons, making it a real medium-sized aircraft carrier!

They have long wanted to take action, but the football country has no money. The football country's funds depend entirely on iron ore. This thing is very slow and takes time to mine and transport, so there is no rush here.

"Yes, it is indeed very slow, but it is time for us to start building it. After the aircraft carrier is launched, orders from the Navy should come."

Babic nodded excitedly: "Okay, let's make arrangements immediately!"

"Zhengyang, contact the football country and invite them to come and participate in the aircraft carrier groundbreaking ceremony!"

"Yeah." Xu Zhengyang continued to nod.

"By the way, how is the production of the aircraft carrier's steel plates going?" Qin Tao thought of something.

The previous 001 aircraft carrier was a semi-finished product and did not require any major manipulation. Now this one is a brand-new production, and the demand for steel plates is huge.

"The production line over there has been almost adjusted." Babbage said: "Now, we have prepared the steel plates needed for the aircraft carrier to start construction."

Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant has developed into a large-scale steel plant that is well-known throughout the country. Although their output is not as good as that of large steel plants such as Shougang and Anshan Iron and Steel, their quality and profitability are definitely better than the latter.

Not available.

In addition to Yinwa Steel, they are also at the forefront of the world in terms of steel for aircraft carriers and submarines!

Qin Tao came to the material preparation area nearby. Pieces of steel plates were covered under raincloths. Because the steel plates were too large, they could only be stored in the open air. Its width was 5.5 meters and its length was 40 meters!

"This is a steel plate produced by the king of rolling mills at our Mingzhou Steel Plant. It is really great. When we use this steel plate to make aircraft carriers, it will reduce the welding workload by 90%!"

Even Lao Maozi cannot produce steel plates of this specification. The size is very large, equivalent to a dozen ordinary steel plates, and the workload of welding is greatly reduced.

"Originally, it was difficult to bend steel plates of this size. However, we introduced a large-scale bending machine that can directly insert this kind of steel plate into it and bend it, making it more efficient."

Another unique skill of Mingzhou Group is the three-dimensional CNC bending machine! Coupled with the cooperation of large steel plates, the shipbuilding speed has been greatly improved.

Not only for manufacturing aircraft carriers, but also for manufacturing ordinary cargo ships, steel plates of this area will of course also be used. After all, the king of rolling mills at the Mingzhou Steel Plant cannot only produce steel for aircraft carriers, otherwise it will have to be shut down for most of the year.

Various large cargo ships also use this kind of steel plate, which greatly reduces the workload of Mingzhou Group's master welders.

Qin Tao was very satisfied: "In the future, when we install automated welding equipment, we will need less welding work. By then, we can even build an aircraft carrier and make dumplings!"

Three days later, the leader of the Chinese navy came.

"Mr. Sagastres, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Construction of your aircraft carrier can finally start." Qin Tao warmly greeted this group of guests: "Although the construction time is a little late, we can guarantee that,

In a year's time, the aircraft carrier will be launched."

Going into the water in one year?

This promise immediately shocked everyone. Even in the United States, it would take two or three years to build an aircraft carrier before it can be launched! Even if the aircraft carrier built here has a smaller displacement, it won't be as short as one year, right?

"I know everyone is surprised, but after the ceremony, you will understand when you see our construction process."

The groundbreaking ceremony was very grand. On the front of the shipyard, a booth was set up, with a gantry crane as the background and banners hanging on it.

Warmly celebrate the start of construction of the St. Paul!

That's right, this aircraft carrier that is about to start construction has been officially named the USS Sao Paulo!
