Chapter 2491 Big cargo ship!

Fortunately, the domestic power system technology has been significantly improved through the previous cooperation with Wang Yue to produce speedboats and underwater sightseeing boats. However, that is the technology for small boats after all, and no one knows whether it can be used on large ships or not.

At this time, Wang Yue's blueprint of a cargo ship that could be used as a light aircraft carrier arrived, giving Li Changzi the opportunity to see the actual ship, so he stepped up to build the cargo ship.

Precisely because of the purpose of learning and research, Jiangnan Shipyard not only put in all its efforts, but also gathered a large number of experts and technicians, so the Future cargo ship was completed in just eight months.

After a simple launching test, it was found that the ship was operating normally, so it was handed over to Boss Xie. Boss Xie was very satisfied with the cargo ship, and Director Li was even more satisfied.

After all, with the experience of this production, Director Li and his team are very confident about the transformation of the Varyag, because the weight of the Future cargo ship is not much different from that of the Varyag.

If the future sea ship can meet the technical design expectations when sailing on the sea, then the power system of the future sea ship can be moved to the Varyag. Even the circuits and control systems can be transplanted, which greatly reduces the research and development cycle of the aircraft carrier.

At the same time, as long as the experts and professors upgrade the deck of the future sea vessel according to the drawings, they will have an additional mature aircraft carrier design system, which can be mass-produced in the future.

Therefore, Director Li was very satisfied with the delivery of the cargo ship this time. According to the old rules, he took the technology and wanted to pay Wang Yuechuan. However, because the price of seagoing ships was too expensive, Jiangnan Shipyard could not give more than a dozen ships directly like last time, which made Director Li a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Wang Yue would not make things difficult for Lao Li. He did not ask for money. Instead, he asked for a large cargo ship, which he considered as the patent fee. At the same time, Wang Yue customized four cargo ships of about 4 tons, and six cargo ships of 2 tons.

As for the money for these ships, Wang Yue only paid the cost price, and the rest of the money was considered the technology transfer fee paid by Director Li.

Of course, even if it is the cost, Wang Yue can only pay a deposit first, and then pay in installments slowly after the ship is ready.

After listening to Wang Yue's request, Director Li felt that Wang Yue was too generous, so he agreed without hesitation. Because with these technologies, they not only saved a lot of expenses, but most importantly, there were many design technologies on the Future cargo ship, which also had certain reference points and had a great impact on Jiangnan Shipyard.

In fact, in addition to transporting goods, Wang Yueding's small cargo ships are also capable of protecting themselves. Although they do not have warehouses to arrange a large number of drones, these small cargo ships are equipped with high-pressure water guns that can be used to drive away pirates.

Unlike ordinary water guns, which have a range of only about 100 meters, the high-pressure water gun on the small cargo ship has a range of up to 500 meters. Combined with the special frozen water gun head designed by Wang Yue, the lethality of the high-pressure water gun within 200 meters is not as good as that of a linear bullet gun, but it is not much inferior to a shotgun.

In particular, the 6,000-ton cargo ship has a very fast speed. It can not only transport goods into the Yangtze River, but also be used as a destroyer to protect large ships at critical moments.

It's just because Wang Yue placed too many orders at one time, so the delivery cycle is bound to be longer, and it is impossible to deliver all of them within one or two years. Fortunately, Wang Yue is not in a hurry about this, and Boss Xie is now anxious to teach people how to drive a new cargo ship, so he has not thought about getting a new cargo ship right away.

After all, even due to manpower constraints, even if Jiangnan Shipyard gave Old Man Xie a ship, there would be no one to drive it.

It is precisely because of this that Jiangnan Shipyard started building a new cargo ship immediately after handing over the Future cargo ship, but it was not built for Wang Yue, but a standard light aircraft carrier.

Wang Yue didn't care what Lao Li arranged. He and Boss Xie booked a boat and went back. He also explained the situation to several shareholders.

Originally, this was a happy thing, but after hearing it, everyone was not too happy, which made people a little confused. Wang Yue could still hold it in, but Boss Xie asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Do you think Xiao Yue ordered too many ships? I tell you that there are not many ships. If we didn't have enough manpower, I would have wanted more ships."

Aunt Xie saw that her husband was a little angry, and was afraid that Xie Laoda would do something wrong, so she quickly said, "What are you thinking? It was Lao Wu, our boatman. He lost money when he was selling goods on the boat, and he jumped into the river to commit suicide yesterday.

Fortunately, the place where he chose to jump into the river happened to have our boat parked below. Grandma Zhou couldn't sleep at the time and went toss and turn, so she was rescued.

Well, we have changed the way we make money, so we don’t have to worry about not making any money, but there are still many ship owners in the canal who are having trouble running their business.”

The others also seemed to have opened up their conversations, and started talking about the recent problems with canal transportation, which made the atmosphere at the scene become bad.

After hearing this, Boss Xie fell silent immediately. He knew that the fifth brother who jumped into the river to commit suicide was definitely not the last one. After all, this business was too difficult to do.

If the cargo owner doesn’t pay, there is no way to get the money back. This is the norm nowadays.

Wang Yue saw that everyone was unhappy. He thought for a while and said with a smile, "Uncle Xie, haven't we just ordered a lot of ships? I think you can set up a freight company and attract these people to invest. It just so happens that we need sailors on our ships. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

After hearing this, Shao Xingchi's father immediately asked in confusion, "That's just introducing a job to them, how can it be called joining the partnership? Do they have so much money to invest?"

Wang Yue saw that other people also had the same doubts and were obviously unwilling to suffer a big loss, so he smiled and explained, "In fact, it is impossible for cargo ships not to make money. The problem is that some bosses do not pay for transportation, which is to bully the ship owner as a human being, and he has no ability to toss with them.

We can let their ships join our future freight company, and their ships will also be regarded as our company's ships, and then we can monopolize the unified arrangement of canal transportation.

At that time, if the cargo owners want to use cheap water transportation, they must follow the formal procedures and pay the freight first before they can transport the goods. Otherwise, we will not transport their goods at all.

Moreover, if there is a need for sea transportation in various places, we can also use the canal or other waterways. We can send ships to pull it over, and then load it onto our own ships. This can also increase the business of the cargo ships and ensure that they are not always unprofitable. " Zhou Haikuo's father's mind is usually in his restaurant. After hearing what Wang Yue said, he thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Xiao Yue's idea is good. A ship boss can't beat those people, but the cargo ships on the canal have joined the freight company, which is equivalent to forming the previous ship gang, which can resist these factors. This is also the reason why there were so many tide gangs in the past, just for survival."

Shao Xingchi's father also nodded and said, "I heard from Haikuo's grandfather that when he was a child, there was still the Chao Gang. Many people who rely on the water rely on gangs for their livelihood."

Seeing that everyone had made preparations ahead of time, Mr. Zhou still had some say in this matter, so he smiled and said, "There is strength in numbers. One person's ability to resist risks is poor, but if we work together, we can get through the crisis."

Everyone was in a good mood and thought they could persuade the ship captains to join, so Boss Xie really tried it.

With the prestige of Boss Xie, he first went to find Lao Wu, comforted him, and then invited Lao Wu to join his company. When Lao Wu heard that the company would be engaged in ocean freight in the future, he immediately agreed.

With this good start, Boss Xie quickly convinced all the ship captains in Huajie and asked everyone to drive a speedboat to Yangzhou Freight Terminal to take a look at the huge sea-going ship of more than 50,000 tons.

There is no need to say much about the rest. After a few people got on the boat and took a look, they joined in directly.

Originally, a 50,000-ton cargo ship would require about thirty sailors. Now that the ship captains from Huajie have joined, the sailors are more than enough and there is no need to recruit any more.

Of course, they have to leave behind some people to control the original cargo ships for transportation, so they have to recruit sailors from other places. However, the canal cargo ships do not require sailors with too much experience, so the requirement is much lower.

Recruiting staff is very slow, and training to drive a sea vessel also takes time. Fortunately, whether it is setting up a future transportation company or going to the ship to let Director Li arrange training, it takes time, so there is still enough time.

Boss Xie and Boss Xia were busy all the time, and they were all very happy to sail the boat. Zhou Haikuo's father's restaurant was very popular, which made Shao Xingchi's father a little lonely.

After all, he was a man of letters. Although he was no longer short of money, he still felt that he had accomplished nothing. His position had not moved for several years, and no one read his articles anymore, which made him worried. He would drink to relieve his sorrow from time to time.

There was another person in the courtyard who was in the same situation, and that was Zhou Haikuo's mother Luo Zhimei.

Mother Zhou is not like the other mothers, where the husband pursues careers while the mother sets up a stall and takes care of the family. She feels that now everyone calls her Haikuo's mother and doesn't even know her name, so she feels a little unwilling.

Recently, I have had several quarrels with Zhou Haikuo's father over trivial matters.

She knew it wasn't Mr. Zhou's fault. She just wanted to go to Hengdian to be an actress, but she had no place to vent, so she quarreled with Mr. Zhou.

Grandma Ma also had some troubles because her remarried daughter-in-law had the audacity to come back to Ma Siyi's grandmother to borrow money because the man she later married, Lao Ge, went bankrupt. Seeing that Grandma Ma was unwilling to lend, she even said that she wanted to go to the South to do pyramid selling!

You know, once you are caught for pyramid schemes, not to mention the amount of compensation, you will have a criminal record. Wouldn't that ruin Ma Siyi as well?

So, except for Chen Rui's F6, three others were in a bad mood, and it was already halfway through, so it affected the overall atmosphere at once. Even the long fish noodles made by Shao Xingchi, whose cooking skills had greatly improved, failed to make everyone happy.

After making money and having fun together over the past few years, the few people have a very good relationship, so when they saw the three friends were worried, they couldn't help but ask what was going on.

At first, the three of them were reluctant to speak, but later it was Shao Xingchi who spoke out first. After he finished the noodles he made, he glanced at everyone and said very depressedly, "My father thinks that the other uncles are successful in their careers, but he has never made a name for himself. He always drinks to drown his sorrows, which makes the atmosphere in my family very bad. Tell me, what is the comparison? It's not the same type of work."

After hearing Shao Xingchi's frustration, Xia Fenghua complained, "There's nothing we can do about your father. Brother Wang said that many circles are too particular about seniority, and the same is true for intellectuals. It's not easy to get by. He is definitely unwilling to make changes. This is a dead end."

Xie Wanghe saw that Shao Xingchi was unhappy, so he quickly interrupted Xia Fenghua and said, "Hua Zi, if you don't have any ideas, just shut up. We are here to find solutions, not to complain!"

Xia Fenghua wanted to talk back, but seeing that Wang Yue didn't agree with her, she didn't continue. Instead, she said depressedly, "Don't you have any solution? I think that if Brother Wang can't do it, then no one else can do it either! So, it's useless for us to think about it. We might as well ask Brother Wang."

After hearing Xia Fenghua's reminder, Shao Xingchi finally understood Xia Fenghua's good intentions. He looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Brother Wang, do you have any solution?"

Wang Yue saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said helplessly, "In fact, we already have money. Your father has two ways to succeed. One is to let him quit his job and open a literary website and let him be the editor-in-chief. When online literature is hot, he can soar to the sky.

Another thing is to ask your dad to write something that young people like to read now. Whether it is hanging mothers or archaeology, they are all very popular now. Of course, if you don’t want to write these, you can write other types. For example, if you don’t want to write fantasy, you can write history, which is what your father is best at.

In fact, no matter which method is used, it requires change. Times are changing, and we must also make changes. Just like we used to use river transportation, but now we have to switch to sea transportation, it is actually the same principle.

So, Xingchi, you need to find someone to convince your dad to make changes."

Xia Fenghua felt that what Wang Yue said made a lot of sense. She looked at Wang Yue with admiration. After Wang Yue finished speaking, she immediately said, "Xingchi, I think you should go find Grandpa Zhou, or find Chen Rui's mother. Apart from these two people, no one can convince your father!"
