Warship of Great Power

Tianchuan Heavy Industry.

Knock, knock!

Xia Yu knocked on the door of this familiar office. For some reason, every time she came in, she always felt terrified. She was already an old hand in the business world, so she wouldn't be afraid of a young boy, but for some reason, she always felt uneasy.

"Mr. Qin, you're looking for me?"

"Do you have a plan for the next development of the group?"

"At present, the direction we are discussing is to continue our group's original projects, and at the same time develop new products, focusing on the mining of combustible ice."

Qin Haiyang's eyes lit up: "Yes, this plan is feasible!"

Their Tianchuan Heavy Industry originally built offshore drilling platforms, so there was no need to abandon these expertise to do other things. However, if they only built these ordinary platforms, they would not be able to show the strength of Tianchuan Heavy Industry.

Therefore, Xia Yu's brain cells were dying, and they came up with the direction of combustible ice with the joint efforts of all parties.

The mining of combustible ice also requires drilling platforms at sea, which is their strength, but the mining of this thing is very difficult and requires a lot of investment. Since the eight drilling platforms were sold at a high price, they have sufficient funds and can fully engage in these technical research and development.

However, Xia Yu does not think that Qin Haiyang can agree. After all, the mining of combustible ice is too difficult!

Combustible ice is ice that can burn. This is not nonsense. It can burn because its main body is methane, which is the same substance as natural gas. At the same time, at a depth of less than two thousand meters, it is wrapped in water and becomes a substance that looks very similar to ice.

The East lacks oil and natural gas, or the demand is too large, and its own production is not enough, and it has to be imported from the outside world. Under the waters of the motherland, there is a large amount of combustible ice. If this thing can be mined, then natural gas self-sufficiency can be achieved in the future, and it can even be exported.

But... mining is not easy! Many people in Tianchuan Heavy Industry do not think they have this ability, but the cowhide must be blown out first. After all, those ordinary ones are not recognized by Director Qin.

Xia Yu originally thought that Qin Haiyang didn't like her and was targeting her on purpose, but unexpectedly, Qin Haiyang actually nodded in agreement!

"Next, we will set up a special R\u0026D institution to develop the technology for mining combustible ice, and we can also invite some experts and professors to come." Qin Haiyang spoke according to his own ideas.

Xia Yu hurriedly took notes, feeling excited. As long as the project was confirmed, Director Qin should go back. As long as Director Qin left, she would have the final say in Tianchuan Heavy Industry!

Qin Haiyang finished speaking and drank a sip of water.

Xia Yu was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to say something, but Qin Haiyang had already put down the water cup and continued: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Seadrill has closed down."

Closed down?

Xia Yu suddenly felt a little uneasy. She forced a smile: "This company maliciously breached the contract and almost bankrupted our group. Such a company should be closed down!"

"Yes, such a company should have been closed down long ago. Unfortunately, the so-called asking God to punish them is just empty talk. To punish them, we have to do it ourselves. This time, the two of us cooperated tacitly. With our joint efforts, we finally let this company go bankrupt."

Joint efforts?

Xia Yu suddenly panicked: "Mr. Qin, I don't know what you are talking about."

"As the insider of the group, you have been in contact with Seadrill. Later, their company came to purchase, and with your help, they chose the Arctic route. If they didn't take the Arctic route, the company would not have gone bankrupt, so thanks to you."

Pah!

The folder in Xia Yu's hand fell to the ground. She was very panicked.

Mr. Qin knew everything! From the beginning, Mr. Qin was using me!

At the beginning, Mr. Qin told me that the Arctic route was the shortest and could shorten the time. Don't let the Norwegians take the Arctic route! These words were actually meant for the Norwegians!

What should I do?

Xia Yu was in a state of confusion. Should he tell the Norwegians that he was longing for Norway and that he was just being used by Mr. Qin?

No, of course not. Even if he said that, the Norwegians would not believe him. They had been deceived and their company had gone bankrupt. Would they still listen to his explanation?

Plop!

Xia Yu knelt down: "Mr. Qin, I..."

"What are you doing? Get up quickly. We had close cooperation before and will continue to cooperate closely in the future. I'm leaving soon. From now on, the group will be left to you to manage."

What does Mr. Qin mean? Forgive the past?

Xia Yu gritted his teeth: "Mr. Qin, don't worry. I will definitely follow you in the future!"

"Go!"

"Yes."

Looking at Xia Yu's back as he left, Qin Haiyang had a complicated look.

A betrayer can never be forgiven. Once this happens, there will be countless times! Just like a gambler, once he gambles once, there will be countless times. No matter how many times he cries, he cannot be trusted.

However, wouldn't it be better to let her die at the hands of the person she is loyal to without having to do it herself?

After returning to the general manager's office, Xia Yu was still a little absent-minded. Suddenly, her cell phone rang with a text message.

Tonight at 8 o'clock, Muse Bar.

Just a few simple words, but Xia Yu's hands trembled slightly. Are you going?

Of course she couldn't go. The seadrill company had closed down and she was still under suspicion. If she went, would she still be able to come out alive?

However, there is another line below.

If you don't come, tomorrow, all your evidence will be released.

If she doesn't go, then she will be betrayed by the Norwegians, and everything she has done before will be exposed. Even if Qin Haiyang does not pursue the case, she will not be able to continue to gain a foothold in the company.

These Norwegians were actually threatening her! If she had known earlier, she would not have cooperated with the Norwegians. These Westerners would not keep their promises and would only take advantage of her.

At this time, Xia Yu has already begun to regret, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine!

She had a very hard day. She was afraid of the coming night, but it was still dark outside. She lingered in the office until half past seven, and finally walked downstairs helplessly and drove her own Cadillac. Come to the Muse Bar.

She remembered that it was in this bar that she met the Norwegians and agreed to their request. After that, Tianshi Heavy Industry signed the contract, and then...

When she reached the door, she hesitated, not knowing whether to go in. A cold voice came from behind her.

"Now that you're here, why don't you go in?"

"me……"

Suddenly, a towel covered her mouth. She struggled only a few times before her body went limp.

Two big men dragged her into the MPV nearby.

"Huh, this bitch! It's all her fault! Doesn't she like us Western men? Let her have enough fun tonight, and then..."

Mingzhou Group.

"It's true that you are killing people with a borrowed knife. Haiyang really has your style." Xu Zhengyang said: "Mr. Qin... I'm sorry, I made a mistake. It's the talent that outstrips the talent."

Seeing Qin Tao rolling his eyes, Xu Zhengyang immediately changed his tune.

"Well, those people actually dared to bully us Orientals. It's so abominable. Fortunately, Skynet did not miss any details. At the last moment, relevant personnel arrived and brought these evildoers to justice." Qin Tao nodded: "This matter is finally over."

"It's not over yet. The fleet in the Arctic is still moving forward slowly. The plan to mine flammable ice in the ocean has just begun."

"Lao Maozi is so awesome. He led those guys deep into the Arctic, and those guys didn't even know."

Why is the ice getting thicker? Of course, we are gradually getting deeper into the Arctic. Although every ship has a satellite navigation system, once the jammer on the Fifty Years Victory is turned on, all satellite navigation systems have to stop.

In fact, starlight positioning can also be used, which is also a required course for almost all crew members. However, after getting used to using electronic devices, no one is willing to bother with this effort.

Naturally, the maritime satellite phone was also interfered with and could not work properly. They all thought it was a magnetic storm.

When Seadrill Company completes all bankruptcy procedures, the fleet will be able to move forward and reach Norwegian waters. Unfortunately, it is destined to be useless.

These drilling rigs will be auctioned off to offset Seadrill's debt, but with energy prices falling again, who will use them? Their home country's Equinox company is no longer willing to use it. In the end, it might be auctioned off at a scrap price, and then the old man can go get a bargain.

Anyone who wants to harm us in the East must not let them end well!

"By the way, where is Haiyang?" Qin Tao asked: "After the crisis of Tianchuan Heavy Industry is resolved, should he go back to school?"

"Yeah." Xu Zhengyang said: "I thought he was reluctant to let go, but I didn't expect that after arranging all this, he actually went back to school."

Qin Haiyang changed out of his suit, tie and leather shoes, put on his school uniform again, rode a mountain bike, and went to school like everyone else. On the uniform, the words Capital No. 4 Middle School were very conspicuous.

When I rode to the school gate, I happened to meet several classmates.

"Ocean, are you back again?"

"Yes, Ocean, where have you been for such a long time?"

"Everyone thought you weren't coming. I heard your dad is very rich."

"My dad? My dad is just an ordinary officer. He just works in the Huanglou." Qin Haiyang said: "With his little salary, he can't even afford a house in the capital. I still have to work hard on my own. Let's go. Where did the review go? Tell me."

Qin Haiyang rode his bicycle and entered the campus again. He seemed exactly like everyone else. However, in hidden places, there were always people quietly paying attention to him and protecting his safety.

Hearing Xu Zhengyang's answer, Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it seems that he also knows that if you want to manage a company and a group well, it is impossible without culture. The future era belongs to the era of knowledge explosion. If he only has a high school If you have a degree, you won’t be able to clean the streets in the future.”

Xu Zhengyang was a little curious: "Mr. Qin, do cleaners need a higher education?"

Qin Tao smiled. You have never seen so many college students and even doctoral students in later generations vying for a job with a staff, a street worker, a cleaner, and a director of public toilets. Those are all high-level students. Educational qualifications.

At this moment, Qin Tao's cell phone rang. Looking at the familiar number on it, he pressed the answer button, and a person's profile picture appeared on his cell phone.

"Nicola, are you in the office?"

"That's right, I'm still busy working. I've been working since last night. Is it already bright over there?"

"Yes, Nicholas, what are you up to?"

"Busy with the nuclear submarine repair project." Nikolai said: "It has been decided from above to hand over a sealed 949 nuclear submarine to your Mingzhou Group for maintenance and upgrade. Currently, it is believed that the Irkutsk nuclear submarine is the most suitable."

Qin Tao was immediately stunned: "What are you talking about, do you really want to leave it to us for maintenance and upgrade? Isn't there anyone in your country who objects?"

Lao Maozi has always attached great importance to nuclear submarines, and even believes that nuclear submarines have a higher priority than surface ships. Among Lao Maozi's surface ships, there are only four Kiev-class warships with a displacement of 40,000 tons, but there are six underwater Typhoon-class ships!

Even the Type 949 has an underwater displacement of more than 20,000 tons!

As for the Irkutsk nuclear submarine, it was the second one of type 949A. Construction started in 1985 and was launched into service in 1987. Within a few years, the Red Empire collapsed. This nuclear submarine had good luck. Within a few years, it was Sealed.

To say that it is lucky is, of course, compared with its previous ship. The Orenburg was retired in 1998, and this one can at least be retained.

As of now, all the technologies above have fallen behind, and there is nothing to reveal. After all, even the granite anti-ship missiles above have no deterrent effect now.

Therefore, Lao Maozi plans to hand over this kind of submarine to the Easterners for maintenance, because they have discovered that if it is handed over to their own company for maintenance, it is estimated that the submarine will never be able to return to service.

A lot of money was spent, but in the end I didn't even hear a sound. How could I accept it?

"Yes, there are people who object, but what's the use of it." Nikolai said: "Everyone now knows the inside story of the Smolensk's maintenance. Our own domestic ship repair companies are already rotten. Only It’s up to you to be realistic.”

"But..." Qin Tao still feels that it is unrealistic. Lao Maozi regards nuclear submarines as treasures, especially Oscar-class nuclear submarines, which are specialized anti-aircraft carrier weapons! Lao Maozi actually wants to hand over this kind of submarine to his own side for maintenance?

"However, considering the possible leakage problem, many people now hope to repair it in our country."

Qin Tao is even more curious. It will be repaired by our Mingzhou Group, and it will be repaired in your country, unless...

"The safest way at the moment is for your Mingzhou Group to come forward and buy a ship repair yard from us, and then this ship repair yard will be responsible for the repairs." Nicholas said: "It is best to use workers from us here. "

Qin Tao reacted instantly: "That's impossible."

Are you kidding me, asking Mingzhou Group to go to Damao and open another ship repair yard? If you invest a large amount of money and hire a large number of old people, what will you get?

"Why?"

"You just said that your place is already in ruins. If I go to your place and acquire a ship repair yard, what about the water and electricity? If I don't feed the people in charge of water and electricity, then my ship repair yard, We are constantly facing the risk of water and power outages.”

Of course Qin Tao couldn't say he didn't want to go, he had to find objective reasons.

"As for the hired workers, do you still have skilled workers in Da Mao? The skilled workers have left long ago, and the remaining group are all novices. Can they repair the submarine? If they disassemble the submarine and reinstall it, there will be more Parts come out.”

"Moreover, your workers are used to being lazy, can they stand strict discipline? Our workers are guaranteed to work eight hours a day, and often work overtime, but what about your workers? During the eight-hour working period, the workers are In Moyanggong, as long as you get off work, you will definitely not see anyone, and everyone will go to the bar. "

"Finally, let me talk about the supply chain. This issue is the most important." Qin Tao said: "The products produced by us in the East are low-cost, not only because our labor is cheap, but also because of our complete supply chain. To put it simply, an example.”

Qin Tao looked at the person in the video opposite: "For example, after we disassembled it, we found that one of the parts was damaged and needed to be replaced with a new one. We can order it directly from the manufacturer on the Internet, and the manufacturer will arrange production quickly. , it can be shipped to us in one day. Thanks to our convenient domestic express transportation conditions, the goods can arrive in one day, which means that the damaged parts can be replaced with new ones in two days. "

"What about you? If there are bad parts over there, you have to call the relevant production unit. And what about the production unit? I don't know how many people are left. It may take a month, or even half a year, to produce the parts. There is no guarantee that this part is qualified. If it is repaired by you, the efficiency will still be very low. "

"Nicholas, my friend, you should understand, right? Over the years, your shipbuilding industry has been ruined. It will be very slow for you to build new ships, and it will be even more slow for you to repair old ships. This is definitely not the responsibility of the past few People can solve it." Qin Tao continued: "So, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

"Okay." Nicholas nodded: "Then I'll hang up and we'll talk later."

Nicholas put down the phone and looked at the person in front of him: "Dear leader, do you understand everything? We no longer have a foundation here. Everything here is rotten. It is not that simple to revive it. Obviously The State Group will not do this either, so it makes no sense to use the shipyard’s procurement costs in exchange for repair costs.”

The person sitting in the seat had a simple idea. He asked the Orientals to help with the repairs, but they had to do it in their own country. In this way, they had to purchase a shipyard from their own country, and the purchase cost could just replace the repair cost. It was equivalent to asking the Minnesota Group to help repair the submarine without spending any money, and it would also create jobs.

They are not stupid. Why should they help us like this?

Over the years, they have been subsidizing the domestic shipbuilding industry. How much money has been subsidized? What is the result? All of it went into the pockets of certain people. There was no movement on the tasks that should be completed. In the end, they could not deliver the task, so they set a fire!

"It seems that we have no choice but to hand over the submarine to them." The leader nodded: "Let them find the Ruby Design Bureau first to discuss how to modify it."
