Half an hour later, two black Mercedes-Benz cars parked at the temporary reception desk of Yang Junsheng, the founder of Zhonghua Shipyard.
Yang Junsheng, who had changed into a suit and tidied up his appearance, was also waiting for Zhou Wenhua to get off the car with a bright smile.
"Huh? No way!"
"The person I want to receive is a student?"
"Are you here to play with me?"
But when Yang Junsheng got out of the car and came to him under the protection of bodyguards, he briefly introduced himself to Zhou Wenhua.
He immediately had an expression of disbelief on his face and shouted crazily in his heart.
"My butler Liu Xing, didn't he tell you my age?"
"General Manager Yang?"
Seeing Yang Junsheng's surprised and weird expression, Zhou Wenhua smiled and asked straight to the point.
"Yes! I thought it would be a wealthy businessman who is older than me coming to discuss business!"
Regarding Zhou Wenhua's frank inquiry, Yang Junsheng was also very honest and responded awkwardly.
"My father was seriously injured in a sneak attack by a traitor and is recuperating at home. So now our Zhou family's business is fully entrusted to me!"
"Because my other three eldest brothers have no intention of inheriting my father's business, and they are not at home, so I am now the talker of our Zhou family!"
"This time I came here to discuss several things, one of which is that I want to pay for the construction of a seaplane carrier converted from a merchant ship!"
"And on this aircraft carrier, a platform was built with wooden planks to carry seaplanes. After arriving at the combat sea area, the ship's crane was used to lift the seaplanes to the sea, and then these seaplanes were launched from the sea.
Take off on combat missions!”
"When returning, it will also stop on the sea, and then be hoisted to the ship with a crane, or fly directly to a land airport for landing!"
"What I need is such a simple floating aircraft carrier. In fact, I originally wanted your company to develop an aircraft carrier for me like the British HMS Arena of Valor!"
"But your company is currently relocating to a new dock address and re-establishing a factory, and a lot of equipment is not in place. So I don't think your company has the ability to build the 'Sports God' I want."
From an aircraft carrier!”
"But in the future, it won't be certain!"
"I'm still very optimistic about your company's potential and your general manager's ability!"
"Even a few years ago, your shipbuilding contract with Commander Chen of the Second Fleet was vetoed by Li Shijia, the Navy's new shipbuilding supervisor, and a large number of engineering and technical personnel including the joint Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute plan reviewer. As a result, you no longer have any cooperation with the Navy.
Fang’s shipbuilding business, but I’m still very optimistic about your potential!”
"So here I am!"
After looking at General Manager Yang Junsheng, who was also very candid,
Zhou Wenhua suddenly said something shocking.
Hearing the words,
Yang Junsheng's eyes suddenly focused, his face full of surprise.
The reason why he was surprised was that the young Zhou Wenhua actually wanted to come to him to pay for the construction of a floating aircraft carrier. Although he only wanted to carry out modifications on merchant ships, not cruisers, thereby reducing the technology
requirements and level of difficulty,
But it still requires a certain amount of technology and money to develop.
Of course, the thing that surprised him the most was that Zhou Wenhua actually knew that in 1928, he personally went to promote the shipbuilding design drawings to Commander Chen of the Second Fleet of the National Army Navy, and also obtained the other party's design drawings.
Drafting a manufacturing contract,
Unfortunately, the last step was because not only was the shipbuilding factory newly built, but the land for the factory was temporarily leased.
Moreover, no matter the scale of the factory, the software and hardware shipbuilding equipment, machinery, or even the technical capabilities of the technicians in the shipbuilding factory, they were not comparable to those of the largest domestic shipyards at the time, such as the prosperous Jiangnan Shipyard and Dagu Shipyard.
Shipbuilding companies with military backgrounds, strong capital accumulation, and huge personal connections can compete with each other.
For this reason, the draft shipbuilding contract that was originally obtained was terminated by Li Shijia, the navy's new shipbuilding supervisor, and the technical engineers of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute, who comprehensively ruled that the contract was not valid.
In the end, the shipbuilding contract of Commander Chen of the Second Fleet fell to Jiangnan Shipyard for manufacturing.
General Manager Yang Junsheng will never forget this incident.
Because this is also a microcosm of the difficult start of his business as a private shipbuilding factory without any military background.
At the same time, it was also one of the events that inspired him to work hard and forge ahead.
After losing the shipbuilding contract with the Navy,
His order goal has also been fully shifted to the construction of civilian ships in the Yangtze River Basin, and he is working on it quietly, waiting for the opportunity to rise.
"Hahaha! It seems that although Mr. Zhou is young, he knows a lot of things!"
"You actually found out about the failed business contract incident that I have never told anyone about!"
"Let's do this! Let's go inside to discuss other things!"
“It’s quite inconvenient to talk here!”
"And I have also prepared tea for Mr. Zhou!"
But after being surprised, General Manager Yang Junsheng relaxed and responded to Zhou Wenhua with a hearty laugh.
And at this moment, his curiosity about Zhou Wenhua also reached a very high level.
In particular, he wanted to know how Zhou Wenhua found out about his shipbuilding contract with Commander Chen of the Second Fleet.
"Actually, I only heard about you and Commander Chen from my father's friends!"
"He is one of the technical staff of Jiangnan Shipyard, so I know a little bit about this matter!"
However, the answer he wanted was quickly obtained from Zhou Wenhua.
Because just when his mood improved and he was ready to entertain Zhou Wenhua,
Zhou Wenhua was also very happy to solve the mystery and responded with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
"I see! No wonder you know about the failure of my first military order!"
"I'm afraid this scandal of mine has become a story that many people at Jiangnan Shipyard tell their stories after dinner!"
Once I heard the answer I wanted to know,
General Manager Yang Junsheng was also slightly startled, and then he laughed heartily again, feeling quite good and mocking himself.
After saying that, he politely guided Zhou Wenhua into his reception room and took a seat.
As for the bodyguards Zhou Wenhua brought, they were waiting outside.
"Thank you for your hospitality, General Manager Yang!"
"By the way, do we still need the approval of your Chairman Du before we can make a decision on what we are discussing today?"
But after Zhou Wenhua sat down,
As soon as he took the tea handed to him by General Manager Yang Junsheng, he asked again in shocking words.
After the words fell,
General Manager Yang Junsheng was once again surprised by Zhou Wenhua's words and was shocked for the second time.
Because he could not imagine that his private acquaintance with Boss Du, the leader of the Qing Gang and the chairman of the General Federation of French Concession Chambers of Commerce, would also be found out by Zhou Wenhua.
Moreover, Zhou Wenhua also knew clearly that Boss Lian Du had invested money in his own shipbuilding factory and served as the chairman behind the scenes.
So he was shocked again by Zhou Wenhua's sources and background.
