"Mingyuan, are you interested in this Mawei Shipyard?" Guo Tianyu said in surprise.

"What? What's wrong with the Mawei Shipyard?" Fang Mingyuan asked strangely. Since Guo Tianyu has collected information about the Mawei Shipyard, it shows that he is also quite interested in it. Why does it seem that there is something wrong with the Mawei Shipyard now?

"Alas!" Guo Tianyu sighed before saying anything, "Mawei Shipyard, its current geographical conditions determine that it is not suitable as our acquisition target."

"Why?" Fang Mingyuan was even more surprised. Those who were involved in the Westernization Movement chose Mawei Port instead of other domestic ports. This shows that Mawei Port must have advantages that other ports cannot match. How come it has become so popular now?

The shortcomings mentioned by Guo Tianyu have been eliminated!

"Mingyuan, do you know how long, tall and heavy a supertanker is?" Guo Tianyu said.

"The specific data is unclear." Fang Mingyuan said honestly. He knew that this kind of ship is very large, with a total capacity of carrying two million barrels of crude oil, and can be called a "sea giant." Just like eating eggs, you don't have to know how to lay them.

Like a chicken, he doesn’t think that just because Kuok Shipping Group wants to buy a supertanker, he has to be familiar with its data!

"Generally, the length of this kind of ship is more than 300 meters, the width is more than 60 meters, the height is nearly 30 meters, and the highest point can reach 70 meters, which is equivalent to a high-rise building with more than 20 floors.

"The dead weight of its hull can reach 40,000 tons!" Guo Tianyu explained, "Mawei Shipyard is currently undergoing a new round of transformation, and the maximum shipbuilding capacity after the transformation is only a 50,000-ton ship! This is certainly a Mawei shipyard.

Another important reason for the shipyard’s own lack of funds is that the section of the Minjiang River from Mawei to the sea can only pass ships with a load of 20,000 tons!”

After Guo Tianyu's explanation, Fang Mingyuan understood that the reason why Mawei Shipyard declined may be, as some people said, because of the tense atmosphere on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the country's reluctance to invest in major projects here. But on the other hand,

An important reason is that since the Republic of China, the Minjiang River has not been rectified for a long time, and sedimentation has reached a very serious level. Also due to years of neglect, Mawei Port has also been silted up for a long time, so that

As a result, Mawei Shipyard was unable to build larger ships, which resulted in a situation where the shipbuilding industry was lost to other companies!

Although in recent years, with the development of economy, the local government has also given certain support to Mawei Shipyard, but renovating Mawei Port and dredging the Minjiang River are projects with huge investment, and are likely to be completed in a short period of time.

We cannot see the economic benefits brought by it. Of course, this area also has a long coastline. Instead of laboriously reorganizing Mawei Port and the Minjiang River, it is better to start from scratch and build a new terminal within the territory.

"Uncle Guo, how much will it cost to renovate Mawei Port and dredge the Minjiang River?" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time and said, "After dredging, can the Minjiang River be able to pass unloaded ships of 300,000 tons?"

"It's... hard to say. Without on-the-spot investigation and careful estimation, I can't give you an accurate figure!" Guo Tianyu shook his head. The reason why Mawei Shipyard is in his information is because Guo Tianyu himself doesn't have one.

I have thought that the first shipyard I acquired would be able to build a 300,000-ton supertanker!

Fang Mingyuan thought over and over in his mind. To be honest, he had not had much contact with shipbuilding either in his previous life or in this life. Except for sometimes reading some news on the Internet, or reading some data while reading novels.

Verification. Therefore, in this life, he has never had any involvement in the operation of Guo's Shipping Group Company.

If it weren't for Guo Tianyu's purchase of these seven supertankers, his "dispute" with the Japanese government, and his knowledge that Samsung Group actually owns Samsung Heavy Industries, one of South Korea's three major shipbuilding companies, he might have been

No one would pay attention to this area. But now he has to understand this area, and as he understands this industry, more and more business opportunities will be discovered! Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has sufficient experience in his hands.

There is an inseparable relationship between the surplus money that can be invested. It is precisely because he does not worry about running out of funds to invest that these business opportunities can be called business opportunities!

"Uncle Guo, if it's possible, I think we can send someone to the local area for on-the-spot exploration and investigation and give a conclusive result." Fang Mingyuan said while thinking, "I think if the cost is not very shocking,

, I think Mawei Shipyard is a good choice!”

"Ah?" Guo Tianyu looked at Fang Mingyuan in surprise. He didn't understand why Fang Mingyuan valued Mawei Shipyard so much! He even considered paying for the costs of renovating Mawei Port and dredging the Minjiang waterway himself!

"Uncle Guo! That's what I thought about!" Fang Mingyuan saw Guo Tianyu's confusion and smiled, "Although the cost of renovating ports and waterways is very high, the intangible assets of Mawei Shipyard cannot be replaced with money.

Easily measurable! This can be said to be the starting point of China’s modern shipbuilding industry! It is also the cradle of China’s modern navy! It has a special meaning in the hearts of practitioners in the navigation industry! As far as I know, except for those of the Beiyang Navy known to the world

Generals; Zhan Tianyou, the first railway man in China; Yan Fu, an influential bourgeois enlightenment thinker, translator and educator in the late Qing Dynasty, the former president of Fudan University, and others, as well as famous naval generals in the late Qing Dynasty and the Navy of the Republic of China

Generals and military and political officials, including Sa Zhenbing who once held important positions in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference after the founding of the People's Republic of China; Liu Heqian, the former chief of staff of the Ministry of National Defense on the other side of the strait and others! I don't know how many graduates there are from Mawei Shipbuilding School, but I think

There are always three to five hundred people! In the future, during the Republic of China and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many of these people will be social elites and have great social influence. But now, although these people may have passed away

, but their descendants and successors to their cause should not forget this period of history. Moreover, Mawei Shipyard should also have a place in the history of countries around the world! I believe that many foreigners in the maritime industry do not know about our country’s large state-owned

Shipbuilding companies, but they know Mawei Shipyard!”

Guo Tianyu was stunned for a long time, and showed a look of realization! It turned out that this was what Fang Mingyuan valued! Mawei Shipyard was the largest shipyard in the Far East at that time, and its scale is still a first-class shipbuilding enterprise even today, and of course it will leave its name in history.

! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most famous shipyard in modern Chinese history! It can be said that if Mawei Shipyard can regain its glory, there will be no need to advertise at all. As long as the news gets out, no matter whether at home or abroad,

The shipping company and those in charge, as long as they know something about the history of Chinese shipbuilding, must be extremely impressed. And for many shipbuilding companies, this level of awareness may not be achieved in ten or twenty years.

come out!

And he also heard another layer of meaning that Fang Mingyuan had not said. Although almost all the people in the shipbuilding school had passed away, their descendants would not forget that their ancestors came from Mawei Shipyard.

It can be said that this is their other root!

Although Guo Tianyu does not know what the descendants of those people are like today, but these hundreds of people who were considered social elites at the time, I am afraid that many of their descendants are now in high positions in all walks of life.

, and these people are likely to be a huge boost to the future development of Mawei Shipyard!

If it were not for the fact that there is no precedent for private shipyards building warships in China, given the importance of Mawei Shipyard in the history of the Chinese Navy, I am afraid that the Navy will take care of this cradle of the Chinese Navy as much as possible!

After thinking through this, Guo Tianyu couldn't help but get excited. From this point of view, although the price of acquiring Mawei Shipyard is high, the intangible benefits obtained are also extremely generous! When the two are balanced, it is not clear at a glance which one is more important.

!

“Furthermore, I think that if we really intend to invest in Mawei Shipyard and expand it into a large shipbuilding enterprise capable of building 300,000-ton supertankers, the local government will be very important in renovating Mawei Port and dredging the Minjiang River Channel.

, it will definitely give us a lot of convenience! After all, this is equivalent to building another deep-water port for the local area, which is also an important achievement of the local government. Hey, after all, this cost is probably

It’s not even that high!” Fang Mingyuan said.

Guo Tianyu nodded solemnly. Fang Mingyuan's words were not nonsense. If Mawei Shipyard could regain its glory and become the top shipbuilding company in the country, the local government would probably beg grandpa and grandma to buy the shipyard themselves. As for

They may not be able to come up with the money to renovate Mawei Port and dredge the Minjiang waterway, but they will definitely give themselves preferential treatment in all aspects. Calculating this way, they can indeed save a lot of money!

The more Guo Tianyu thinks about it, the more excited he becomes. If he can really bring Mawei Shipyard back to its former glory by his own hands, this will be a glorious achievement that will definitely go down in history!

"Mingyuan, but aren't you worried about another war in the Strait?" Guo Tianyu hesitated and said. The Mawei Shipyard is too close to the other side of the Strait! If a war breaks out, it can be said that it will bear the brunt!

"If we really want to fight, unless the shipyard is moved abroad, unless it is a shipyard with a capacity of less than 10,000 tons, modern weapons will be impossible to guard against!" Fang Mingyuan certainly couldn't tell him, at least in the first ten years of the next century,

Except for some frictions in border areas, China is still calm!
