I have a little black hole

Chapter 13 Ordering Salvage Ships

Wang Yu and the experts he brought were full of praise for the two artworks carved by Lei Tiantang, but he didn’t have so much money in the company to buy such a superb item at one and a half times, and had to spend 160 million yuan to use Lei Tiantang. More than a dozen pieces of jewelry made from the remaining materials are packaged and bought. These jewelry are also very popular in the market.Their company will also develop some high-end customers because of the top jadeite.

Therefore, although Wang Yu was jealous of Lei Tiantang's two works of art, he still helped Lei Tiantang figure out how to sell it more cost-effectively.He directly recommended Sotheby's Beijing Branch to Lei Tiantang, because as an international top auction house, Sotheby's has enough customers to bid for these two works of art, which is very effective for increasing the auction price.

Lei Tiantang accepted Wang Yu's suggestion and sent Wang Yu away, and he contacted the Sotheby's Beijing branch.It happened that Sotheby's is now calling for the summer auction in 2019. Sotheby's is very enthusiastic about the top jadeite artworks brought out by Lei Tiantang. The manager of the auction house personally brings experts to handle related business.

After the expert appraisal of the two works of art, the estimated value of the two statues is 600 million yuan.Of course, this is the starting price of the auction. If it is really auctioned, the final transaction price will definitely increase a lot. This is Sotheby's confidence.

Knowing that Lei Tiantang needed cash now, Sotheby’s provided a 400 million yuan interest-free loan, which was considered to be part of the advance payment.Lei Tiantang was very satisfied with this. He planned to order his own salvage boat within two days. According to his plan, the price of this salvage boat would not be so low.

Lei Tiantang checked the information on the Internet. At present, the most advanced salvage vessel in China is the Dajiang class ocean-going salvage rescue vessel.It reaches 156 meters in length, 20 meters in width, and 16 meters in draft.The speed is up to 20 knots, and the endurance is 18,000 nautical miles.

At present, all fleets of the Navy have Dajiang class in service, and the Dajiang class ocean salvage rescue ship is one of the Chinese military auxiliary ships.Development began in 1973. The first ship was started at the Jiangnan Shipyard in 1975, and was completed and served in November 1979.It has a displacement of up to 12,000 tons at full load, and a helicopter platform. There are 2 MANK9Z60-105E diesel engines with a total power of 18000 hp and twin shafts and two propellers.2 sets of 630 kilowatt diesel generating sets.Its wind resistance has also reached level 12.

Lei Tiantang feels that such a big ship meets his requirements for going out to the waves, but unfortunately, because this is a military vessel, it is impossible for him to buy it, and this is not a professional treasure hunting boat.However, he does not have to reach the military level with the ship's level, as long as the displacement and wind and wave resistance levels are sufficient.Moreover, civilian grades do not need to be equipped with weapons or the like, and the design can be built with the most advanced technology at present, which can completely satisfy him.

After comparing the details of the domestic shipyards, he finally planned to order his first salvage ship at the Jiangnan Shipyard.The reason is simple, because Jiangnan Shipyard has experience in building such ships, and it is military grade.Choosing them to design and build civil-grade salvage ships can reassure Lei Tiantang.

Now that he has a decision, Lei Tiantang did not plan to drag on, and bought a ticket to Modu.After getting off the plane at Pudong International Airport, he called directly to the headquarters of Jiangnan Shipyard in Modu.

He was greeted by a business manager, because Lei Tiantang telephoned their company before coming to Modu.Because he did have the intention and strength to order ships, this business manager was very enthusiastic.As for how to confirm that he is capable of ordering ships, this is of course the information provided by Lei Tiantang. Jiangnan Shipyard confirmed it through his own investigation. Otherwise, you just make a phone call and say you want to buy a ship. Who believes?

"Hello, Mr. Lei, welcome to our Jiangnan Shipyard! My name is Liu Jianjun, responsible for business reception." He said while extending his hands to Lei Tiantang.

Lei Tiantang shook hands with him and said: "Hello, Manager Liu, please trouble you!"

"No trouble! Customers such as Mr. Lei come to our shipyard, we are too late to welcome, if this is troublesome, then I hope that such trouble is a little more!" Liu Jianjun laughed.

"Oh, that's what it is! Manager Liu, it's unclear on the phone, can we now communicate about the salvage ship I want to order and confirm the construction plan?" Lei Tiantang is still very concerned about the ship .

"Haha, Mr. Lei, don't be so anxious! You see, it's time to go to dinner now. Let's have a meal together. When I come back, I will take you to visit our shipyard so that you can understand us. This way you You can do it well!" Manager Liu said enthusiastically.

"That's fine! I listen to Manager Liu! To be honest, I'm also curious. I've never seen how a ship was built when I was so big, so I'll take a good tour this time." Lei Tiantang heard it Liu Jianjun said this, and he was not dissatisfied, because as an inland man, he did not see many big ships, let alone how to build big ships.

After lunch with the passionate Liu Jianjun, Lei Tiantang visited the shipbuilding base on Changxing Island under his leadership.To be honest, Lei Tiantang was shocked because his size is really too big!Under the introduction of Liu Jianjun, he had a new understanding of this shipyard.

Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. is China's oldest military shipbuilding company affiliated to my country Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.It was founded in 1865 (four years of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty) and passed Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, Jiangnan Dock, Navy Jiangnan Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipyard.In 1996, it was restructured into "Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd."

On June 3, 2008, on the 143th anniversary of Jiangnan Shipbuilding, it officially announced that Jiangnan Shipbuilding had successfully completed the relocation task and officially entered the shipbuilding base of China Shipbuilding Jiangnan Changxing.CSSC Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base is located on Changxing Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It covers an area of ​​about 5.8 million square meters and has a shoreline length of about 3800 meters. The main construction content includes four large docks and 17 outfitted docks. The planning program is the civil ship year With a shipbuilding capacity of 4.5 million tons, it is currently a modern shipbuilding base with the largest scale, the most advanced facilities and the most extensive production varieties in China.

Liu Jianjun led Lei Tiantang in his car and toured along the docks where ships were being built at the base.For everything in front of him, Lei Tiantang felt novel and shocked. The huge ships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons under construction are really too big. Fortunately, he also knows that those are transport ships and the salvage he wants to order. Ships are two concepts.Although the tonnage of the salvage boat he plans to order is incomparable with these Big Macs, in terms of value, the salvage boat costs several times more than such a cargo ship, because there are too many advanced equipment to be loaded on the salvage boat Too.

"It's awesome! Manager Liu, thank you for taking me to visit!" Lei Tiantang smiled and thanked Liu Jianjun.

"You are too polite, Mr. Lei, if your order is confirmed, it will be built here in the future!" Liu Jianjun said proudly.

"That's good, this way, we have finished the tour, go back and discuss the details!" Lei Tiantang was a bit impatient.

"Okay, let's go back!" Liu Jianjun was very happy with Lei Tiantang's affirmative answer.

The two returned to the company by car, and Liu Jianjun began to discuss specific details with him.Because Lei Tiantang said his general request on the phone, Liu Jianjun knew that it was a big order, so he is now listening to Lei Tiantang seriously about his specific requirements.
