My girlfriend is from 1949

The black SUV slowly came to a stop and pulled over to the roadside parking area.

Although this place is just a transit point, it won't actually be developed into a dock.

Various loading and unloading machines, and a dispatch and command center.

It's simply a place for ships to dock and gather.

However, some necessary planning is still essential.

This area has been designated and has a gate, preventing any outside vehicles from entering.

Only company personnel are allowed to drive in.

It's not that I'm worried about the secret being leaked, because this area is patrolled by designated personnel every day.

Drones patrol the skies continuously.

If someone is found to have entered the area by mistake, they will be asked to leave immediately.

Moreover, the crew members who sail here will also disembark here.

Therefore, it was impossible to conceal the arrival of the ships.

We can't just kill all the crew members every time we get on the ship, can we?

Actually, if the boat is moored here, as long as no one sees how it was taken away in an instant, basically no one will be able to figure out what happened.

Even if they were discovered, all the ships would be gone.

It's quite normal for a ship to sail out to sea every hour late at night, and it usually doesn't attract attention.

So as long as no one can see God's moment, it's still safe.

Occasionally, twenty or thirty ships would come in one after another, but no one would pay any attention.

"Boss!"

Zhao Zhiyuan quickly came forward, followed by seven or eight other people.

Some people were dressed in suits and glasses, looking like social elites.

Several others were wearing work clothes, and you could still see oil stains on them.

These people are the company's finance staff and engineers involved in cargo ship operations.

As for the boat owner and crew, they went ashore yesterday.

The boat owner was put to rest at a hotel, and would only receive the remaining payment after the inspection was completed.

:

The crew members all took the train back.

After that, no crew was needed.

Because all these ships will be sent to the Republic of China era.

Even if there is a real problem, at most the price will be reduced, not the price will be reversed.

For the new China today, even a dilapidated old ship is extremely precious.

Even if the engine is so old that it can no longer sail.

But that shell itself is also a huge asset.

Given the current steel production and technology of the new China, it would be very difficult to build even a few 3-ton ocean-going cargo ships.

Although with the current steel production capacity, it is indeed possible to build large ocean-going cargo ships.

However, such a large country has far too many places where steel is needed.

We can't use all the steel for shipbuilding; how can other places develop?

So even if it's just an empty shell, as long as it can be transported back, our ancestors can find a way to bring it back to life.

Even if it has a steam engine installed, it's still a ship that can sail and transport goods, isn't it?

Although steam engines are old and have been largely phased out in modern times except for a very few applications, they are still used today.

However, steam-powered cars are still in use in North Korea.

The freight cars equipped with steam engines in their cargo beds, a feature from the Korean War era, are still in use in many parts of modern North Korea.

In 1949, it became even more useful!

Chen Huai'an's procurement was aimed at meeting the needs of the new China.

Buy anything useful, even if it's scrap metal!

Starting last night, Zhao Zhiyuan led the engineers to inspect these cargo ships.

After all, it's something from thirty or forty years ago, so we can't expect too much.

However, some basic requirements still need to be strictly reviewed.

The engines, in particular, were thoroughly inspected.

It can be a bit old, but it can't have too many problems, and it definitely can't break down all the time.

Otherwise, the price will have to be significantly reduced.

:

Fortunately, these boats had already been refurbished by the seller and were in good condition.

Moreover, the products produced in those years, although technologically outdated, were truly durable and sturdy.

Some families are still using sheet metal electric fans that were manufactured thirty years ago!

"Boss, the ship's condition has been checked. Here is the engineer's inspection report."

The prices have already been calculated.

This is the price list, which lists every single ship.

The CFO is on site and can make payments at any time.

Zhao Zhiyuan respectfully handed over a folder containing detailed report documents.

Each ship has a detailed description.

Which areas have problems and require further maintenance?

Go to Bing Search for "Novel" to view the latest chapter!

The list also included information on which ships had aging engines and the necessary solutions.

Once the ship is transported there, the engineers there can carry out targeted repairs based on the report.

The technology from decades ago was easily repaired by engineers in the new China.

With these ships, transport capacity can be greatly increased.

Cargo ships of 5000 tons or more sail overseas, while those of 3000 tons are transported domestically.

The arrangements were made perfectly clear.

Chen Huai'an only glanced at the quantity and the amount.

As for the other technical terms, I didn't even look at them closely.

He turned and asked, "Is there a problem?"

As a big boss, you can't do everything yourself.

Otherwise, what's the point of hiring employees?

Zhao Zhiyuan nodded and said, "The data is accurate, the ship is in good condition, and our quotation is based on the actual situation, so please rest assured."

The company now has professionals from all walks of life.

They handle these things very professionally.

:

"Then let's pay."

Chen Huai'an closed the folder and issued the payment instruction.

There were no doubts about Zhao Zhiyuan's report.

It's not that we don't trust the people we employ, but rather that there are other people supervising us.

The state also exercises oversight.

If someone dares to embezzle funds, it is an illegal act, and the disciplinary committee will immediately intervene.

After all, his other identity is that of a state employee.

They know what this represents, and they also know what the consequences will be if they dare to interfere.

In a typical workplace, if someone is found guilty of embezzlement or bribery, they might only end up in jail for a few years.

However, if something happens in a place that concerns the fate of the nation, then in order to maintain secrecy, the person will be specially detained.

Especially the higher the position, the more they know.

People like him have already become a focus of national attention.

Let alone the fact that he was investigated and detained because of personal issues.

Even now, he is prohibited from leaving the country.

Even after he leaves office or retires decades later, he will not be allowed to go abroad.

Moreover, Chen Huai'an is truly generous to his employees.

The salary and bonuses are extremely generous.

Zhao Zhiyuan's annual income is also over five million.

As a public servant, this legal income is already at its maximum.

Although it is far inferior to those big companies, not even a fraction of them.

This is what those who thrive in the system strive for!

Therefore, Zhao Zhiyuan worked diligently and conscientiously, and did not engage in any illegal or irregular behavior.

Of course, even if Chen Huai'an didn't look at the details, he still needed to grasp the general direction.

It's not so easy to fool or deceive him.

:

Upon receiving the instruction, Zhao Zhiyuan immediately worked with the accompanying financial staff to arrange payment.

Now that these ships have arrived at the dock, a deal is inevitable.

Chen Huai'an carefully examined the young man, who was dressed in an expensive suit and tie, and whose appearance was impeccable.

A warm smile spread across his face: "Handsome, you did a great job this time, very efficient!"

The drawn-out tone indicated that he was very happy.

I am very satisfied with this transaction.

Once an agreement is reached on one location, there's no need to wait in the dock for maintenance; you can immediately move on to the next location.

When things are going well, I can negotiate with three bosses a day.

Moreover, the price offered was higher than that of others, so it was naturally easy to reach an agreement.

After all, these ships are really too old.

Selling at a high price gets you disliked, selling at a low price hurts you.

Finding a suitable buyer is not easy.

Therefore, after some bargaining, a deal can usually be reached in one negotiation.

Moreover, those three large ocean-going freighters, each 3 tons, were actually the easiest to sell.

Because of outdated technology and old hulls, it is incomparable to the giant ships of today that weigh hundreds of thousands of tons.

Indeed, it's somewhat of a double-edged sword.

Now that someone is willing to offer a suitable price, I naturally won't miss this opportunity.

Even the all-inclusive dinner, drinks, and karaoke service at night were paid for by the boat owner.

These business deals were indeed very easy to discuss.

The only thing that Cai Yinjun regrets is that he doesn't have that much capital.

Otherwise, you could follow Yang Yongli's example, buy them all, and then resell them for even higher profits.

However, it also has advantages, namely that old ships are easy to find and there are plenty to go around!

The profit margin is lower, but it can be made up for by increasing the volume.

When Cai Yinjun heard the praise, his mouth stretched from the corners of his mouth to his ears with joy.

He hurriedly said, "I've also contacted several 10,000-ton ships, but they're still undergoing maintenance and will take a few more days to arrive."

:

These are all performance-based rewards, and there are bonuses for them!

Chen Huai'an nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face.

He then said, "Handsome!"

Cai Yinjun hurriedly took out his notebook, bent over, and pretended to listen attentively: "Brother Chen, what are your instructions?"

His attitude was upright, as if he were listening to a leader giving a speech at a meeting.

With this attitude, it's a real shame he doesn't work within the system.

Chen Huai'an's gaze swept over the ships, and he said, "We need to find more cargo ships of two or three hundred thousand tons in the future!"

These large ocean-going cargo ships can carry more cargo.

Otherwise, relying solely on 3 tons would still be too small.

To increase shipping capacity, you need to upgrade to larger ships.

Given the current situation in the new China, it would be very difficult to build one.

The time required is also a very long period.

We can't wait!

Moreover, he can ask his older brother for help with other things.

However, when it comes to shipbuilding, the Big Brother will definitely find an excuse to shirk responsibility.

In the eldest brother's plan, the younger brother next to him is a blood bank, dependent on the eldest brother.

As long as they need to rely on others militarily, no matter how wealthy they become, they are still just appendages to be taken from at will.

Because it lost the military protection of its elder brother, wealth became a source of trouble.

At that time, those Western robbers will definitely pounce on us immediately and launch another multinational coalition to force us to sign a humiliating and unequal treaty!

Of course, the Big Brother will allow the pressure to continue, but it won't actually watch it happen.

After all, the wealthy but powerless henchman next to him was a prime target.

The thicker the growth, the larger the blood bag becomes, and the more it can give back!

Why would we let other hungry wolves share such a good thing?

When the new China can no longer hold out, it will agree to all kinds of demands.

This is why they desperately tried to mislead and prevent the new China from developing heavy industry.

:

As long as heavy industry is not developed, everything else can be strongly supported.

However, shipbuilding is subject to various restrictions.

Although shipbuilding and related supporting industries accounted for 7 of the 156 key projects of the Soviet Union at that time.

Several of these large shipyards were also built with the help of the Big Brother.

Regardless of how the relationship between the two sides developed later, their assistance to the new China during this period is undeniable.

However, precisely because the cooperation is so deep, the restrictions are also very significant.

The planning and construction of ships cannot be done entirely independently.

However, at that time, the country was extremely poor and had virtually no shipbuilding capabilities.

Whatever it is, it's a good thing.

But they wanted to use the ships they built to do business with the United States, which was in a hostile Cold War.

The older brother's attitude is self-evident.

No one would be happy if a cargo ship built with their help turned around and went off to do business with someone else.

Moreover, the ships built with the help of the Big Brother are fine for domestic use.

If it's really going to be used for long-distance sea voyages, the tonnage is too small.

Starting in 1953, the Soviet Union sent about 15 experts to China to assist the Dalian Shipyard in completing the "Yuejin" ship.

The design and some of the equipment were completed with the assistance of experts.

Launched in 1958, the vessel has a deadweight tonnage of 1.34 tons and was built entirely by Chinese workers, with blueprints and technology originating from the Soviet Union.

Launched in 1960, the "Dongfeng" was the first 10,000-ton ocean-going freighter designed and built entirely with domestically produced materials and equipment in the People's Republic of China, marking the end of dependence on foreign countries.

my country's ability to independently build 10,000-ton cargo ships owes much to its elder brother.

Even though the relationship later broke down, this help was genuine.

But it's only 1949 now, and even the first jointly built Yuejin (Leap Forward) won't be launched for another 8 years.

Moreover, its tonnage is only a little over 1 tons.

The "Yu" in this context is completely different from the "Yu" in the later aircraft carrier.

At that time, Yu was already reporting the maximum tonnage, pushing it to the limit.

Unlike the more than 8 tons of the "Fujian" ship in later generations, that was far too much!

:

It's not impossible for 20 tons to be surplus!

So even if Big Brother turns a blind eye and allows us to do business with the US using the ships we build.

That was eight years later.

And how much of a role can one or two 1-ton cargo ships play?

Therefore, they want to start shipping as soon as possible to sell the daily chemical products they purchase from Hyundai to the United States and other Western countries.

A strong maritime transport capacity is essential.

The modern world also attaches great importance to this cooperation.

They sent a large number of domestically produced light industrial products to another world in exchange for oil and minerals.

It can also stimulate the domestic economic cycle and increase national tax revenue.

This is such a good thing, I'd be smiling in my sleep!

Therefore, when Chen Huai'an wanted a dock, the central government made the decision directly.

Without consulting with the local authorities, the order was issued directly.

That's why this simple dock was able to be taken over so quickly.

Of course, what the Big Brother didn't know was that by not exporting heavy industrial machinery, it controlled the development of the new China.

Little did they know that the more advanced equipment purchased from Modern Times had already been sent to build a factory in the heart of Sichuan.

However, the old rule still applies: they are named with numbers so that outsiders don't know what these factories actually do.

Just as Chen Huai'an was assigning tasks to Cai Yinjun, the phone rang.

The moment the call connected, a voice came through: "I've got the warship for you. Arrange for personnel to arrive immediately!"
