Monster Factory

Spain and the African continent look across the sea.

Speaking of Spain, what is your first impression?

Ye Qing will think of Spanish ham first, but Ye Qing knows that Spain's economy is not weak. The country is a middle-developed, capital-industrialized country, with its economy largely underpinned by the automotive shipbuilding industry, agricultural exports and services.

Since the large-scale expansion of the base in Nicaragua, the giant animal industry has used Spain as the main place for importing construction materials.

This country is the closest industrial country to Nicaragua.

Just a few days ago, Ye Qing also signed several recent payment documents for construction materials.

Of these, the share of concrete imports alone is 110,000 tons, shipped in two giant shipments.

These concrete are semi-finished products in the factory that compare crushed stones, fly ash, water-reducing powders, fine aggregates, etc., are delivered to Nicaragua in bulk and mixed with water by the construction team itself.

Ye Qing called to enquire about the location of the huge ship that arrived at the concrete and learned that the 70,000 ton bulk [Ski] ship had just been loaded from the port of Lisbon yesterday, less than half a day away.

Ship Ski belongs to a Spanish shipping group called Ferris.

The cargo ship was semi-new and since the transfer of the building materials order from Giant Beast Industry to Spain, the Ski has transported four shipments for Giant Beast Industry.

Less than twenty minutes after Ye Qing called for questioning, this Felix Shipping Group received a strange cross-ocean call.

Call Ferris Marine Group's president's office, this big, black and red bearded middle-aged man, smoking cigars and shouting in unfamiliar English.

“What?”

“You want to buy one of our cargo ships? ”

“Not interested, we at Ferris Shipping are a knightly company, how can we sell knights' beloved ‘horses’? ”

On the other end of the phone, is the gentle voice of the deputy manager of Big Beast Industry Procurement, "we will give a good price, or even a slight premium. ”

“Oh?”

Somewhat surprised at this end of the phone, "then we can talk about it. ”

“Was it the sport that was about to be scrapped, or the Knox that was currently in the shipyard? Except for these two cargo ships, you're not buying any of the rest from our company. ”

The Deputy Purchasing Manager smiled slightly, "None of them, it was the [Ski]. ”

“It's impossible.” The president of the Spanish Beard rejected it completely, "the Ski was our Gong, and this cargo ship witnessed the rise of our group. Dude, you know, when I was younger, I was the captain of the Ski, and it made me see the charm of the ocean. ”

“Forty million dollars. ”

“Not for sale.” The Big Beard president, biting his teeth, stressed: “Whatever the price, I will not sell it, and our group is moving towards the right side. ”

A 70,000-ton bulk cargo ship, with new prices ranging between 38 million and 40 million dollars. Cheaper in Huaxia, slightly more expensive in Japan and Korea.

But the new boat, the old boat, is the same in the hands of the group that needs it. Selling old boats, they also spend time on the international market looking for a freighter with similar functions, wasting time, not to mention delaying a full cargo transport order.

“50 million! ”

“Dude... dude, are you crazy?” President Big Beard is full of questions, "50 million is enough to buy a state-of-the-art freighter, why do you buy the Ski? ”

“The reason is simple: we need a giant wheel, which is just a short distance from our overseas base. ”

“I… can sell you a 90% new cargo ship with a 7: 50,000 ton load, better than the Ski. As you know, although the development of our Group's maritime transport is important, we value the friendship of our partners more. ”

The Deputy Purchasing Manager's voice became firm, "We just need the Ski. ”

“But… after four months, the Ski will have to go south to Madagascar to ship other customer manifests. It's been busy for the next four months. We must not cause trouble for our customers because of a little benefit. ”

“Sixty million dollars. ”

“Are you... serious?” After the silence of President Big Beard, his breathing grew heavier.

“So you agreed. The full 60 million will be transferred to your Group account in one minute. ”

“Today… is Fool's Day?” The tone of President Big Beard began to be cautious again, just like the first order he received when his career was just starting.

“We advance, the ship transfer formalities can wait for our company personnel to arrive before signing. Once you acknowledge receipt of $60 million, please notify Ski to change course. ”

“Navigation will be sent to you. ”

“In addition, we will arrange for the crew to fly by helicopter to take over the ship's management. ”

“This is inconsistent with the ship transfer process, and we are not even signing a single document right now.” The president of Big Beard mumbled.

“That's why it's worth 60 million, right? ”

“Please be kind to my Ski, I will miss it. ”

The Deputy Purchasing Manager's voice became gentle again, "Okay, we'll definitely be nice to the Ski. ”

……

That's right, Giant Beast Industries bought the dollar, bought a giant wheel to carry its own cargo.

This bulk ship, capable of carrying 70,000 tons of cargo, contained only one cargo in its large cabin.

—— Concrete semi-finished products.

Half an hour later, the Ski ship slowly turned its bow towards the north of the Atlantic, in the direction of Polo.

The next day.

A giant animal industrialist arrived at the Ferris Marine Group office building in Spain aboard the Hayabusa, which can fly at supersonic speeds, signed the change of nationality document of the Ski and proceeded with the change.

The bearded president is very cooperative and very happy.

That evening, two helicopters flew to the deck of the Ski, the original Ski sailors, and the apathetic Huaxia crew briefly handed over, and could not wait to take the helicopter away.

They're going to look for the Bearded President to collect the prize money.

The next day, the Ski radioed 2,000 kilometres away, the only industrial port in the State of Rigavia, to request supplies of oil and fresh water.

In addition to taking on the task of cargo transfer, the port also plays a role similar to that of a highway service area.

Giant supply is a steady and unpaid job, and the final destination declared by the Ski is Finland. With this ship still active on the European route, what makes this port of Rigavia refuse?

No one knows, in the dead of the night, in the dead of the sea.

An aircraft with radar invisibility and visual invisibility landed vertically on the giant deck of the Ski.

This aircraft carries a large number of special ocean operations to use as a condensed leakage containment agent.

This water-hard powder can be mixed with concrete, which quickly expands and solidifies when encountered, and reduces the effect of seawater on concrete corrosion.

Monsters, with the processing metal arms of the Lord's warship, mix a whole ship of semi-finished concrete, dry thoroughly, and incorporate powder leakage agent to mix evenly.

In addition to these, two monsters went down the rope to the side of the hull, painting the original name of the Ski and changing it.

Immovable.

This is Ye Qing's new name for this giant wheel.
