Chapter 2490: Sell the ship and invest!

Wang Yue said this, then looked at Boss Xie, and then said seriously, "Uncle Xie, after the repairs by Master Liu and I, our cargo ship is not much worse than a new one, so we can still sell it for some money.

If we add the money we children earn, and if you spend more time saving, I think in a few years we will be able to buy a large ship that can transport cargo on the sea.

By that time, Uncle Xie and Uncle Xia will be able to drive ships to transport goods, and they can also carry forward our canal culture and create a great canal on the sea."

After listening to Wang Yue's words of encouragement to Boss Xie, Mr. Zhou's mind suddenly opened up. He felt that he had always focused on the canal culture. But after Wang Yue's reminder, Mr. Zhou felt that his vision was a bit narrow, even worse than Wang Yue, a child.

You know, wasn't the original intention of Emperor Yang of Sui to build the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south?

With the construction of this canal, the trading volume of materials between the north and the south increased. Not only could the high-yield rice in the south be transported to the north to ensure that people in the north did not starve to death, but some goods from the north could also be transported to the south for mutual exchange, greatly improving the living environment of the north and the south.

Therefore, the essence of the canal is actually transportation, and the culture of the canal is also transportation culture.

In this case, whether it is river transportation, land transportation, or even sea transportation, they are all forms of transportation culture and the purpose is the same. Why do we have to focus on the canal?

Therefore, without waiting for others to speak, Mr. Zhou immediately spoke up and said solemnly, "Thank you, Boss. I think Xiaoyue's idea is also feasible. If we switch to sea transportation, not only can our business get back on track, but we can also use domestic and foreign trade to stimulate the further development of the canal. Other people who rely on the canal for their livelihood will also be able to earn more."

After hearing what Grandpa Zhou said, Father Zhou couldn't help but agree and said, "My father is right. However, even if we don't consider it from the perspective of cultural heritage, but only consider the benefits, I still support it. Now that we have joined the WTO, there will be more and more international trade in the future, and maritime trade will definitely be booming. I think it's a good idea to switch to sea transportation."

Father Shao nodded and said, "International trade is getting better and better now. Shipping is a good idea. Boss Xie, I think this is a good idea. Why don't we sell the boat while the price is good as Xiaoyue said, and then run the water park well. When we have enough money, we can buy a sea ship and go out to sea with it when we have time."

When the others heard about going out to sea, they all became excited and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Boss Xie originally didn't plan to sell the boat, but Mr. Zhou, who had always supported him the most, said so. Others also thought that sea transportation would work, and he himself thought so, so he was tempted. He said helplessly, "After our boat has been improved, it is faster than a new one. It's a pity to sell it like this."

Seeing that Boss Xie was convinced, Wang Yue smiled and said, "Uncle, you are now engaged in the building materials business, which is a seller's market. They usually have triangular debts, and your transportation fees will definitely be in arrears. So, let's simply not play with them and go directly to sea transportation. They dare not default on the transportation fee."

After hearing this, Boss Xie no longer had any hesitations and agreed, and he really sold the boat.

Fortunately, although the boat was relatively old, its engine was new, it was quite fast, and it was in stock. Some people who wanted to buy a boat bought the boat directly, and Boss Xie got back 240 million.

With the 240 million plus the 7 million from F160 headed by Wang Yue, the total funds in hand suddenly reached million.

Boss Xie was a man of great ambition. He invested four million yuan directly into the Hongze Lake Water Park, which expanded the various recreational projects several times at once, making it the largest large-scale water entertainment project in the country.

Under the operation of adults, some projects no longer had to wait until the children got out of school as before, so each project was very busy and the capital was earned back in less than half a year.

Of course, this is not the most profitable. The most profitable business is that after the underwater sightseeing boat project became popular in Huai'an area, other regions also began to compete to buy this underwater sightseeing submarine and various water project equipment, wanting to build an amusement park.

Because Jiangnan Shipyard only introduced a few ship technologies, it doesn't matter if they use other ships, but they need to pay patent fees to Wang Yue for using the ships needed for these water projects.

In this year alone, Wang Yue earned up to 1000 million in patent fees.

At the same time, the Qinghe Repair Factory, in which Wang Yue invested a large sum of money and became the major shareholder, was converted into a future shipyard. It also began to produce and sell small boats needed for the water park, and earned more than three million a year.

Moreover, after the establishment of the Future Shipyard, it had project cooperation with the Jiangnan Shipyard. Many parts can be ordered from the Jiangnan Shipyard, which also makes the shipbuilding technology of the Future Shipyard better and better.

Wang Yue, Xie Wang and a few others, who were freed from their money-making jobs, finally lived a normal childhood for a while.

……

Time flies, and it is 2007 in a blink of an eye. Wang Yue has finally turned years old and is now in the first half of his senior year of high school.

In recent years, Wang Yueke has developed many water projects and invented various types of boats, making Hongze Lake one of the most fun lakes in China.

After accumulating sufficient experience in the construction of these small ships, the shipyards of the future will become stronger and stronger, and now they can produce all kinds of ships under 2,000 tons by themselves.

Among the ships invented by Wang Yue, the most popular one is the automatic bridge ship.

This kind of bridge boat is actually a boat that forms a bridge when there is no boat passing by, allowing people and vehicles on both sides to pass.

When a ship comes, these boats will automatically make way according to the situation of the incoming ship, and then form a bridge again after the ship passes, making it convenient for people on both sides of the river to pass.

These boats come in different sizes and are all customized according to the rivers. Most of them are purchased by counties and towns in the Jianghuai region to facilitate their local transportation.

After all, not all places are suitable for building bridges, or the cost of building bridges is too high, so they buy these boats to form a convenient bridge, and then collect tolls to recover the cost. Not to mention that with these boats, transportation in the countryside of the Jianghuai region has become much more convenient. It is no longer necessary to go around for more than ten kilometers when the destination is on the other side.

Because the water park was getting bigger and bigger, it almost covered the entire Hongze Lake, and the surface of Hongze Lake was too large, making many rescue operations or material transportation inconvenient. So, it was no surprise that Wang Yue founded Future Technology and brought out the drone technology.

So, Wang Yue moved his drone factory here without any surprise, and has produced various types of drones over the years.

Among these drones, the most famous one is the one that can move goods.

These cargo drones help transport goods at the docks, which is faster than manual work and also reduces costs a lot.

Therefore, after Future Technology launches this drone, many ship owners will buy one or two and put them on their ships, so that they can hire one or two fewer workers.

On Hongze Lake, because of the presence of drones, a special food ordering service is provided. Some cruise ships cruising on the lake can help deliver food after placing an order, which is also making the amusement park's business better and better.

After several years of saving, Wang Yue and his friends finally had enough money to buy a large ocean liner. Boss Xie had been patient for several years, but finally he couldn't hold it in any longer. He felt that if he waited any longer he would get old, so at a new group dinner, he proposed the idea of ​​purchasing a 50,000-ton ocean liner.

After hearing this, no one tried to stop it. They just felt a little regretful that the Future Shipyard did not have the ability to build such a large ship, otherwise they could save some money.

The reason why they agreed so readily was because they had the amusement park there to support them. Even if all the money from the cargo ship worth nearly 100 million yuan was lost, there would still be a steady stream of money coming in.

After everyone discussed and agreed, Boss Xie prepared to buy a boat. Grandpa Zhou thought that since he knew Director Li, it would be better to let Wang Yue go with him. Not only would the price be cheaper, but at least the materials would not be bad.

Wang Yue certainly wanted it, but he wanted to take the opportunity to take out the largest cargo ship built by the Nava Shipyard. Because that cargo ship can not only transport goods, but also has a fleet of escort drones, which is relatively safe for ocean-going cargo transportation.

The only problem was how to transport it over, so we had to take out the drawings and ask Jiangnan Shipyard to help make it.

So, after Wang Yue followed Boss Xie to the Jiangnan Shipyard, while Boss Xie was looking at the design drawings of various ships, he found Deputy Director Li and took out his own design drawings.

Of course, Wang Yue couldn't just say that this thing was useful. Instead, he asked very modestly, "Director Li, can you help me see if my design is useful? If possible, please help us build a cargo ship like this."

Director Li was originally a technician. He had worked with Wang Yue for so many years and had some understanding of Wang Yue's technology. It was not surprising to him that Wang Yue designed a ship.

So, after listening to Wang Yue's request, he immediately took the drawings and started looking at them.

After looking at it for a while, Director Li asked in confusion, "Xiao Yue, why does this not look like an ordinary ferry? Also, there seems to be a huge warehouse here. What is going to be stored in it?"

Wang Yue knew that he couldn't hide it from Lao Li, so he smiled and said, "You also know that I have a drone factory. I am thinking of installing a large number of drones on the cargo ship. In this way, if we encounter pirates or something while sailing in the ocean in the future, we can take precautions in advance and directly use drones to fight back to ensure the safety of the cargo ship."

After hearing this, Director Li thought this was a good idea, so he continued to look at it. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. This was because Director Li discovered that the platform of this cargo ship could not only hold cargo, but also some light fighter planes.

When Director Li saw this, he asked uncertainly, "Xiao Yue, are you sure this thing is just a cargo ship? Why does it feel so much like a light aircraft carrier?"

Wang Yue didn't expect Director Li to have such a sharp vision, so he smiled and said, "The old man has a good vision. If the deck is made of a different material or reinforced, some fighter jets can indeed be launched. But right now our country doesn't have any suitable fighter jets, so don't even think about it for now."

After seeing Wang Yue admit it, Director Li's heart immediately became hot. He didn't care whether the fighter jets could take off or not. He only cared whether it could be made into an aircraft carrier. So, he said excitedly, "We at Jiangnan Shipyard can make this ship for you, but the materials of the plywood will probably be much lower, and there is no way to launch a fighter jet."

Wang Yue saw that Director Li was still testing him, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Li, stop teasing me. This is a cargo ship. It's enough to have the quality assurance capability of a drone. Why would I need a fighter jet? If you want to make a real aircraft carrier, you can find experts to improve it yourself, but we can't do that."

Director Li felt a little disappointed when he saw that Wang Yue did not provide any improved drawings, but he still agreed.

After looking around, Boss Xie had already set his eyes on a cargo ship of more than 4 tons. When he came back and saw the drawings of the cargo ship in Director Li's hand, he immediately fell in love with it.

Since Boss Xie liked it, the boat was ordered and Director Li began to speed up production.

You know, after the previous cooperation with Wang Yue, the engine technology of Jiangnan Shipyard has made great progress, and even the power system on the ship has been improved many times compared to the original one.

The ship that Wang Yue is designing now perfectly integrates the entire power system, so the ship is expected to run very fast. Even ordinary warships can catch up with you, not to mention the speedboats that pirates often ride.

Because this ship is rather special, it is a cargo ship version of a light aircraft carrier, but it has a complete power design. Jiangnan Shipyard felt that this was an opportunity, so it postponed all other orders and, while making cargo ships, it was also fully committed to researching this cargo ship.

In fact, it is also the fault of Director Li and his team that they attach so much importance to it. Because at the beginning of the year, the Varyag aircraft carrier was just shipped to Dalian, and its power system was directly destroyed. Engineers are studying the hull, and the power system is also being studied intensively.
