Yao Yuan lives on the top floor, the entire first floor is rented, and Yao Yuan lives in one of the luxury business suites.
It's not a matter of enjoyment or not, it's mainly a matter of safety.
After a short rest, when it was dinner time, Yao Yuan, Lin Wei, and Lin Xiaohu set off to the hotel's Chinese restaurant for a banquet, accompanied by Karina and another female translator.
But when I walked to the elevator, I accidentally noticed a middle-aged man in a gray tunic suit wandering around. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was the man I met in the lobby in the afternoon who gave Yao Yuan a friendly smile. It looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Yao." A middle-aged man in a gray tunic suit hurriedly walked over.
Yao Yuan stopped and asked strangely, "Hello, who are you?"
The middle-aged man in a gray tunic suit quickly took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over with both hands. His attitude was very humble, but he did not mean to be condescending. Moreover, this man had the aura of a leader.
Yao Yuan took a look and saw that the ordinary business card was similar to the business card of a self-employed person in Shenzhen City.
Hu Bo, deputy general manager of Dalian Shipbuilding Industry and deputy director of Dalian Shipbuilding Industry, is one of the two groups of people in charge of specific affairs in the afternoon.
The main position is in charge of personnel and direction, and the deputy position is in charge of business. This is basically the case.
"Hello, Mr. Hu." Yao Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand.
Hu Bo held Yao Yuan's hand with both hands and shook it enthusiastically. "I am mainly responsible for the production of the shipyard. Just call me Deputy Director Sun. Mr. Yao, I wonder if I can spare you a few minutes?"
Being stuck in the elevator room is obviously no small matter.
Because the security was very strict, no one could enter the top floor without Yao Yuan's consent. Hu Bo could only wait in the elevator room on the top floor. There were security guards guarding the corridor, so he couldn't get in.
But Hu Bo was not mentioned at all. He was a man who did great things.
"Let's talk inside." Yao Yuan thought for a moment, decided to give Hu Bo a chance, and said to Lin Wei, "You go and chat with Kim Jae Hyun first, I'll go over later."
"Okay." Lin Wei was not afraid of facing the President of the United States. He was already able to handle any big scene with ease, so he took Karina and two of them there first, while Lin Xiaohu accompanied Yao Yuan.
Arriving at the special reception room on the top floor, Yao Yuan asked Hu Bo to sit down.
Hu Bo saw Lin Xiaohu also sitting down, but hesitated for a moment, and then said straight to the point, "This time our President Sun is personally leading the team. It is not easy to go alone. Mr. Yao, I will keep the story short."
After a pause, Hu Bo said, "Dalian Shipbuilding will cooperate with Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries to bid. The winning ship will be built jointly by both parties. Kawasaki Heavy Industries will provide core components and build the main sections, Dalian Shipbuilding will build other sections, and finally Dalian Shipbuilding will build the other sections."
Shipbuilding for assembly.”
Yao Yuan was a little surprised and said calmly, "Kawasaki Heavy Industries is a very famous heavy industry company in Japan. They can produce countless heavy industry products and are very powerful in the world. It is a good thing to cooperate with you in bidding."
"Mr. Yao, you don't know me, but I have been known to you for a long time. You can't fail to see the evil intentions hidden by the Japanese." Hu Bo said seriously, "To be honest, last year, the senior and middle-level officials of the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation
The cadres went to the Chunfeng Academy of Science for inspection, and I went there as well, and I was very shocked."
Hu Bo said in a deep voice, "The Shipbuilding Research Institute of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences already has technical strength comparable to that of research institutions in the United States, Japan and South Korea, especially in the field of LNG ship technology. On the other hand, the research institutes affiliated to our Shipbuilding Corporation have strong technical capabilities in LNG ship technology.
Contact research has just begun in this area.”
Realizing that the topic had strayed, Hu Bo said, "The intention of Kawasaki Heavy Industries is very obvious. They are interested in our Dalian Shipbuilding dock and cheap but efficient worker resources. All core components are manufactured and provided by them. Dalian Shipbuilding
Responsible for building sections with little technical content and doing assembly work."
"Mr. Yao, you can definitely see that this is a very unfavorable cooperation for us. If this batch takes a few years to build, we at Dalian Shipbuilding will have wasted several years of precious time and will eventually be reduced to Shanghai.
A field like an aircraft factory."
Yao Yuan looked at Hu Bo and remained silent.
He was thinking about Hu Bo's intentions.
A stranger said these sensitive words when they met for the first time. What is certain is that the conflict between Hu Bo and the top leader has almost become public. He is now showing signs of illness and seeking medical treatment urgently. Secondly, Hu Bo is looking for his own purpose.
What is it?
The cooperative bidding between Dalian Shipbuilding and Kawasaki Heavy Industries is a consortium with complementary advantages. On the surface, it seems fair, but in fact, Dalian Shipbuilding gets nothing except some foreign exchange, and loses precious time.
There are two major shipyards in China. The one in the north is Dalian Shipbuilding, so it is called the North Shipbuilding. Moreover, Dalian Shipbuilding is the largest shipyard in China and the shipyard with the strongest comprehensive technical strength. The most important thing is that Dalian Shipbuilding is the largest shipyard in China.
The only manufacturer of main ships of the Chinese Navy!
Dalian Shipbuilding has a dry dock capable of building ships of more than 10,000 tons. In other words, after this dry dock is used to build civilian ships, it will no longer be able to build warships.
This is one of the factors that Hu Bo said "the Japanese harbor evil intentions".
Thinking of this, Yao Yuan decided to ask directly, "Director Hu, even if what you said is true, what help can I provide?"
"Dalian Shipbuilding is the shipyard with the strongest comprehensive strength in my country, which is of extraordinary significance. Kawasaki Heavy Industries treats Dalian Shipbuilding as a foundry. Its real purpose is to destroy our independent research and development capabilities." Hu Bo said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yao , the situation is indeed very critical, otherwise I would not have taken this step."
After a pause, Hu Bo said, "If we can organize the entry of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Dalian Shipbuilding is willing to conduct all-round cooperation with Directional Shipbuilding."
This is the opening condition.
First of all, Hu Bo is only the vice president and deputy director of the factory. He does not have any say, but he has given such a promise, which means that if Kawasaki Heavy Industries can be prevented from entering and the cooperation between the two parties goes bankrupt, the current top leader may have to
If he moves away, Hu Bo will take his place.
If he hadn't worked in a grassroots government agency for a year, Yao Yuan would not have been able to hear Hu Bo's subtext right away.
Yao Yuan also heard another meaning. Hu Bo wanted to ask him to help intercept Hu...
Only in this way will the cooperation between Dalian Shipbuilding and Kawasaki Heavy Industries lose the basis for its existence.
But this meaning needs to be said by Hu Bo himself.
After thinking about it, Yao Yuan said, "Director Hu, this matter is not trivial. I am the owner of a private enterprise, and the relevant regulations cannot control me, but you are different. Have you considered it clearly?"
Hu Bo said without hesitation, "I am mentally prepared."
Nodding slowly, Yao Yuan said, "I'll think about it, and you should think about it too."
After saying that, he stood up.
Hu Bo was also very straightforward. He stood up and said, "Mr. Yao, tomorrow is the bidding meeting. No matter what, I hope you will take action to preserve the foundation of Dalian Shipbuilding."
Yao Yuan said nothing more and signaled Lin Xiaohu to send the person out.
He returned to the room and took out his satellite phone to call Zhong Weiguo.
"Old Zhong, I am Yao Yuan. I am in Singapore. I will participate in the shipowner's order bidding meeting tomorrow. I have something to ask you, how is the research on the Varyag? When will my scientists and technicians return to work?" Yao Yuan joked.
Generally speaking.
Zhong Weiguo should be eating. After waiting for a while, he should have walked to a quiet place before he spoke, "Gui Jian? Don't be kidding me, Boss Yao. You promised not to limit the time. Besides, I'm ready to find you."
You talk to them and keep them, we are short of talents, very, very short of population, these people you recruited to Chunfeng Academy of Science are all treasures."
"I also lack talents. It's impossible for them to stay." Yao Yuan refused without even thinking, "Even if I let them stay, you can't afford it."
Military and civilian ships are all ships, and the technical strength of any one will greatly promote the other. When state-owned research institutions are still very short of funds, putting these talents in the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences can play a greater role
function.
When Zhong Weiguo thought of the wealthy Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, he immediately became discouraged, "Yes, we can't afford it. To be honest, if you hadn't borne their expenses, we wouldn't even dare to transfer them."
"Tell us about the situation in Varyag." Yao Yuan changed the topic back.
Zhong Weiguo didn't know the situation on Yao Yuan's side, and he knew that Yao Yuan was very concerned about the construction of naval equipment. The Neptune incident had just happened, and it was absolutely normal for Yao Yuan to be stimulated.
He said, "The progress is very smooth. We expected to fully understand the technology of this ship in five years. Last year, we completed it two years ahead of schedule. Now we have entered the modification and design stage, but I can't tell you the launch time."
It is already very good to be able to reach this point. Moreover, Zhong Weiguo is an administrative staff. He neither knows the expected launch time nor can he personally estimate it.
Yao Yuan thought for a while and told him what happened when Hu Bo came to visit him. After he finished, he said, "Dalian Shipbuilding's 10,000-ton dry dock is the only dry dock in China that can build large ships. I don't know how you did it."
It has been arranged, but if the cooperation between Dalian Shipbuilding and Kawasaki Heavy Industries comes to fruition, you will not be able to use this dry dock within three to five years."
What determines a shipyard’s construction capacity?
Dockyard!
As many ships as there are shipyards can be built.
Especially large ships require large docks, especially dry docks. To put it bluntly, dry docks are the platforms for ship construction.
However, the emergence of shipbuilding methods such as segmented construction method, flat land shipbuilding method, and giant block shipbuilding method has broken the restrictions of shipyards on shipyard construction capabilities.
However, for some special ships, huge dry docks are still necessary, such as large ships, such as LNG ships.
When Zhong Weiguo heard this, he immediately became highly vigilant, "Is the news true?"
"It should be true." Yao Yuan said.
After pondering for a long time, Zhong Weiguo whispered, "The Navy has submitted an application to build two 5,000-ton guided missile destroyers, and it is very likely that it will be approved."
Yao Yuan suddenly understood and said, "Five thousand tons is meaningless. We need to create seven or eight thousand tons. Build two and use them first. After summing up experience and technology, we can then build improved models in batches. Little Japan and the Americans are both
If you do this, it is common for a destroyer of one type to serve for half a century."
"You put it lightly, where did so many shipyards come from?" Zhong Weiguo said with a wry smile. At least he didn't say "where did he come from so much money" now.
With billions of dollars in their pockets, this is a huge contribution made by the army to the country's economic construction. There is not so much resistance from the country to give more money to update weapons and equipment.
Yao Yuan said, "Fangfang Shipbuilding can build four at the same time. Don't forget, Fangfang Shipbuilding's No. 1 dock is one of the largest dry docks in the world, and it can build an aircraft carrier of 100,000 tons."
"Aren't you going to build a 100,000-ton LNG ship?" Zhong Weiguo was a little surprised.
Yao Yuan said, "Let's look at the harvest this time, but it doesn't affect it. There are still No. 2 and No. 3 docks. No. 5 and No. 6 docks can also be put into use next year. I have allocated an additional thirty years to Fangxiang Shipbuilding this year."
100 million, all this money will be used to practice internal strength. I will take out the No. 2 dock to build your ship. Is this okay for the head office?"
Zhong Weiguo was stunned for a long time and said, "According to you, there is no problem with the shipyard's construction capacity?"
"That is necessary. The key is that you must complete the finalization of the new ship as soon as possible. I will not talk about the Neptune incident. It is really frustrating. I am so frustrated that I want to start a private navy. If you have financial difficulties, you can get it on credit.
, all warships contracted by Direction Shipbuilding can be paid for ten years later." Yao Yuan spoke quickly and in a strong tone, clicking like a machine gun.
Zhong Weiguo gasped. Even though he was used to Yao Yuan's generosity, he was still very surprised. He said, "Really or not, are you kidding me? In ten years, inflation alone will be enough for you."
Yao Yuan said coldly, "As long as the Neptune incident never happens again, what if I give it to you for free? I don't care if it's billions of dollars, let alone billions of Chinese coins."
"You kid... It seems that you are really stimulated this time. In fact, there is no need for that. After all, that ship is Norwegian..." Zhong Weiguo stopped suddenly when he said this. He thought of the Galaxy, which was
A thorn in the hearts of the Chinese people.
Zhong Weiguo stabilized his mind and said, "The finalization work is progressing steadily. The scientists and technicians of your Chunfeng Academy of Sciences have contributed a lot. In fact, whether the finalization can be completed in advance has a lot to do with them."
Yao Yuan said, "The ideas of those Soviet shipping experts are not necessarily right. Listen more to the opinions of local experts. In summary, it is integrated data. We should learn from the United States and Europe in this regard. Don't create a conflict with the Soviet Union."
A destroyer is a stupid and thick destroyer. This type of ship will not last long, and there is not much potential for modernization and modification."
"But the Soviet Union's warship technology is pretty good and can be learned, used and improved. However, the only thing is that we cannot follow their old path in thinking. The electronic tubes are not as good as the transistors in playing tricks. Don't be misled by them.
"
He pointed out the most critical points in one breath and emphasized them.
After knowing each other for so many years, Zhong Weiguo knew that Yao Yuan would not emphasize certain aspects without reason, so he made a deep note of it so that he could review the relevant situation when he attended the project progress seminar later.
"However, it has been designed according to the 5,000-ton level. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in research and development, and tens of millions of dollars have been spent to buy relevant technical equipment. It is child's play to change the tonnage just by your words." Zhong Weiguo said in embarrassment.
explain.
Yao Yuan knew that Zhong Weiguo was only the person in charge of specific affairs that connected the past and the next. He had the right to make suggestions but not to make decisions.
So he said, "I have an idea."
"Tell me."
Yao Yuan said, "The 5,000-ton class being designed can be changed into a frigate. In fact, the technical plan does not need to be changed. Just change the project name. On this basis, we can enlarge and design an 8,000-ton class air defense destroyer. First, build such a
As for the test platform, other work can be done slowly after it is put into service. It is no problem to make changes while it is in service. The key now is to solve any problems. You have an 8,000-ton destroyer here, even if it only has one gun on it.
If we can start, others will not dare to act rashly. A century-old navy, the development of the navy itself is a long process. It is built, served, modified, and built again. This is most in line with our actual situation."
"In general, it's just four words, small steps, run fast. I guess what you are thinking about now is how to perfectly design a five-thousand-ton ship. There is no need to do it to such an extreme now. Many technologies are not mature now, so you can start with
Build some in small batches, and then build and improve them when the technology matures, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops. Otherwise, when you have thoroughly understood the technology and build them again, as time has passed, the new ships will fall behind in service, and the troops will have a gap in combat effectiveness..."
As he spoke, Yao Yuan couldn't help but point out. These are the experiences summed up by the Navy after twenty years of development from the early 1990s to 2015. Every sentence embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people.
"Every time I talk to you, I learn something. When I asked you to serve as a project consultant, you refused to do so. Now it seems that we should insist on it." Zhong Weiguo said with emotion.
Yao Yuan said, "How can I have the time to run such a big business? As you can see this year, I will not be at home for more than a month. We are about to enter the 21st century. Many things will not wait for us, so we must seize the day."
"Okay, let's not talk about it like this. Since you have nothing else to say about Dalian Shipbuilding, I will do it in my own way." Yao Yuan said.
Zhong Weiguo said in a deep voice, "I'm just a little person. You can do what you want. In a word, things that are beneficial to the people of the motherland are good things, and vice versa are bad things that need to be fought against."
"I already know what's going on here. After everything is over here, I'll go over to check on the progress of the project. Can you arrange that?" Yao Yuan asked.
Zhong Weiguo said, "You are the person in charge of the project partner, of course there is no problem. Moreover, Directional Shipbuilding is most likely our Party B. You have to come and take a look even if you don't want to come."
Smiling, Yao Yuan said, "Okay, see you in Jiangcheng."
