Commander Chen Jiliang of the First Fleet suddenly interrupted.
"No need! We are just taking a look today, and they are also busy maintaining and repairing the ships now!"
"We've finished reading, so let's get out of here first! The fleet still has many new training projects, and we need you to go back and train those navy recruits and veterans!"
"And the general marshal wants to see me too!"
"Probably you want to discuss with me our navy's purchase of heavy firepower weapons from the Japanese army to equip the ships, as well as the subsequent development of the fleet!"
The commander of Yangshuzhuang waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say anything.
So he was the first to turn around and leave the maintenance office of Jiangnan Shipyard and walked towards the gate.
Seeing this, Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Second Fleet and Commander Chen Jiliang of the First Fleet, as well as Commander Li Jingxi of the National Army Training Fleet who had been following them silently, also left together.
And the moment they left,
Chief engineer Ye Zaifu and engineer Chen Ziting also looked up.
"They left! It seems they didn't come to talk to us today? Director Ye!"
Engineer Chen Ziting said.
"The Navy Department has too many things to do recently. Not only does it need to train, it also needs to expand, it also needs to find ways to raise money to buy new heavy-fire naval guns for the ships, and it also needs to find ways to raise money to build more cruisers, destroyers, and other
It’s a different type of ship, so Commander and others are busy with a lot of things!”
"Yes! When the sea is strong, the country is strong. Now is the golden age for our navy to develop rapidly, so we must not miss this opportunity, otherwise the time will never come again!"
Engineer Chen Ziting nodded in agreement.
"Yeah! That's right!"
"By the way, didn't the young master of the Zhou family you introduced say he would come to visit us today?"
"Why haven't you seen him yet?"
"Is he coming or not?"
"Otherwise we won't have time to meet and talk to him after we finish lunch!"
However, Chief Engineer Ye Zaifu suddenly changed the topic and asked.
"Ah! This..."
Hearing this, engineer Chen Ziting was also slightly stunned and speechless for a moment.
At this time, he also remembered that Zhou Wenhua had made an appointment to come here.
He was too busy just now, so he really forgot about this matter.
But now the time is almost up, but not even Zhou Wenhua's shadow is seen.
"This boy, he probably won't break the promise!"
"He is usually very punctual!"
"Because his father was extremely disappointed with his three brothers, he was very strict in his training from childhood to adulthood. He even often stayed with him to learn how to do business!"
"So in this kind of environment, he is much better than the average peers!"
"Let's do this! I'm going to call his housekeeper Liu Xing right away to see if he's already on his way here!"
However, after coming back to his senses, engineer Chen Ziting felt quite embarrassed and explained.
"Okay! Just call his housekeeper and ask about the situation!"
"Because after we finish lunch, there are still a lot of things to deal with!"
"Especially we also have shooting drawings for new warships, and we need to hold a meeting to discuss how to design them better!"
Chief engineer Ye Zaifu nodded in agreement.
"Yes! Director! Thank you!"
Engineer Chen Ziting quickly thanked him.
Then, he was going to make a call in the communication room and ask the housekeeper Liu Xing where Zhou Wenhua was now and whether he was coming or not.
At this moment,
Guard captain Li Ziming hurriedly walked in and faced him.
"Mr. Chen, there is someone outside who claims to be the Zhou family and wants to see you and Chen Ziren. I am here to report and confirm!"
"He said he has already made an appointment with you!"
Guard captain Li Ziming said hello to engineer Chen Ziting and then said to him.
"Hey! This guy is finally here, and he almost made me lose face!"
"Just bring him here. Director Chen and I have indeed made an appointment with him to meet!"
Hearing this, engineer Chen Ziting relaxed and responded with a smile.
"Yes! Mr. Chen!"
Guard captain Li Ziming nodded in agreement and immediately followed the order.
As the guard captain of Jiangnan Shipyard, Li Ziming still needs to obey the orders of Chief Engineer Ye Zaifu, Director Ma Deji, and the senior officials of the Navy Department.
Engineer Chen Ziting also had a complex background, and he didn't dare to rely on him.
So he would still listen to Chen Ziting's orders.
Not long after, guard captain Li Ziming brought Zhou Wenhua in from outside.
It was brought to Chen Ziting and chief engineer Ye Zaifu.
"Director Ye, Uncle Chen!"
As soon as he saw them, Zhou Wenhua also greeted them politely.
Since Zhou Wenhua's memory in this life was to call Chen Ziting Uncle Chen, he also called him Uncle Chen to show his familiarity.
"You're finally here, kid! I thought you were going to break the promise!"
"By the way, yesterday you asked the housekeeper Liu Xing to call me and said that you wanted to meet with me and Director Ye. Do you want to become a disciple?"
"When did you fall in love with shipbuilding technology? Haven't you been learning business from your father since you were a child?"
"Furthermore, your father is still ill in bed and unable to move on his own. It seems that you don't have time to come to learn shipbuilding skills from your apprentice at this time, right?"
After Zhou Wenhua finished saying hello,
Engineer Chen Ziting waved his hand, indicating that Zhou Wenhua didn't need to be so polite, and immediately asked straight to the point.
Chief engineer Ye Zaifu, who was about to nod in return, was also aroused by Chen Ziting's inquiry and listened quietly to what they were saying.
"I will have time to study. I often take care of my father at night, but most of the time, I leave it to my mother and his concubines to take care of him!"
"And I also need to handle his business during the day!"
"So after I finish handling the business, I will take some time to learn from you!"
Zhou Wenhua responded without thinking.
"Shipbuilding technology is not a simple subject, it is a relatively complex subject!"
"So if you want to learn shipbuilding technology well, you have to spend a lot of time learning, and you have to concentrate on learning to achieve something!"
"So you only have a little time to learn shipbuilding technology, and I'm afraid you won't be able to learn anything at all!"
"This is a waste of both our time and energy!"
"So I think you should give up this idea and concentrate on helping your father manage the family business!"
"Otherwise, if your family's business is in crisis, what will your family eat?"
"And I believe your father doesn't want to see you ruin the family business he started!"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have placed all his hopes on you and brought you with him to learn how to read, write, and do business!"
"It's because your brothers are disobedient! No one wants to inherit his business!"
Hearing Zhou Wenhua say that he just took time out to learn shipbuilding technology, engineer Chen Ziting immediately shook his head and refused.
"I am here to learn shipbuilding technology from you this time, but I am very sincere. The reason why I want to learn shipbuilding technology is that I hope that I can contribute to our domestic shipbuilding technology in the future!"
"And I am not wasting your time in vain this time. If you are willing to accept me as your apprentice so that I can take time to learn shipbuilding technology every day, then I am willing to donate the money to build a minesweeper for you Jiangnan Shipyard."
Money, and the money of a floating carrier!”
"This is the additional expenditure that I can use now, and it is donated to your Jiangnan Shipyard without affecting the capital turnover of our family's business!"
Regarding engineer Chen Ziting's rejection, Zhou Wenhua immediately made a shocking statement and threw out a big gift.
"What did you say!"
As soon as the words fell,
Both engineer Chen Ziting and chief engineer Ye Zaifu, who had been watching quietly, suddenly lost their voices with emotion.
Because Zhou Wenhua gave too much, completely beyond their imagination.
