Chapter 408 Two big ships
In the early morning of February NO.20, Gao Shuang walked briskly towards the East Cotton Alley.

It's not even fifteen, but the school start notice has already been sent out.

Today is back to school day.

It is rare to see a sunny day in Beijing in early spring.

Although there are already some signs of melting snow, northerners all understand that the more the snow melts, the colder it is.

While the sun was shining brightly, the ears were aching from the cold, and only a short period of noon could the scorching sun dispel the chill in the dry air.

Tightening the large fleece scarf that Aunt He knitted for him, Gao Shuang, who had finished eating the buns, shrunk his entire face under the scarf.

As soon as I walked into the hutong entrance of Dongmianhuan Hutong, I saw a crowd of people in front of me.

Some of the people with luggage were obviously students, but others were looking around, either holding phones or cameras, and they looked like paparazzi reporters.

Gao Shuang has never been very cold to these people, and his feet immediately stopped in place.

What is this for?

Did a major leader come to the school to inspect today?
No!
Who will choose to come to school when the semester reports?

Why can't you show your face at the opening ceremony?
Just at the stall where Gao Shuang was watching, a tall and thin man ran from him, holding fried dough sticks and shouting to the crowd, "Is Gao Shuang here to report?"

This voice attracted the attention of many people.

In the crowd near the school gate, there was a person holding a camera on his toes, turned around and shouted, "I haven't seen anyone yet."

The tall and thin man stood beside Gao Shuang, looked around after hearing the words, and bit into the fritters fiercely.

Afterwards, he held fritters in both hands to keep warm, and his eyes were still scanning around, like a hyena chasing its prey.

At this time, Gao Shuang already had [-] grass and mud horses racing in his heart.

For a long time, this group of people came to school to block themselves? !

This is because he is sure that he will come to the school to report and lay an ambush in advance?

Thinking of this, Gao Shuang pulled the scarf around his neck again and covered his nose.

He subconsciously took two steps back, trying to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, the tall and thin man who had just shouted sharply noticed Gao Shuang's actions, and asked casually, "Brother, which newspaper are you from?"

Gao Shuang's body jolted, shrank his neck and said calmly, "...I'll just watch the excitement."

He knew that he must not be recognized at this time, otherwise the scene at the entrance of the North Film Studio would probably be repeated again.

The tall and thin man saw Gao Shuang's "cowardly" grin and said, "Come on! Come here to watch the fun? Are you new to the industry?"

Gao Shuang really wanted to turn around and leave, but he was afraid that this action would cause the people in front of him to be alert, so he casually responded, "Forget it."

"I have to criticize you for this! You have to dare to fight when you first enter the industry!"

This man seemed to be in a bit of idle interest because he couldn't wait for the goal, put on the posture of a senior, and preached to Gao Shuang: "You have to squeeze in, and Mao can't be photographed if people come from outside. superior!"

Gao Shuang felt a little uncomfortable hearing this tone, raised his brows, and asked, "Can't I be a student here?"

"Hey? Student?"

Unexpectedly, the corner of the man's mouth twitched, and the big oiler rubbed randomly on his body twice, patted Gao Shuang on the shoulder and said, "The times have changed, it's not when we went to school, brother!"

Listening to the accent, you can tell that this person should also be an authentic Beijinger.

A cynical poor man at first!
Gao Shuang is also a person who loves poverty. He was entangled by this person and couldn't get out of it for a while, so he shrank his shoulders and asked, "How do you say it?"

The tall and thin man pointed at the scarf on Gao Shuang's neck with a see-through look, and said proudly, "How many of these college students are willing to bring their family members to make scarves for the hands of knitting? In others' eyes, it's a loss. understand?"

"..."

Gao Shuang rolled his eyes.

Why did the love scarf that my aunt He knitted by herself lost its share?
This kind of guy who looks like a single mother and child in front of him has the face to criticize other people's love?

"Your outfit, you're welcome, it can't keep up with the price of a pair of underpants for a high school student today."

The tall and thin man didn't notice Gao Shuang's increasingly hostile gaze, and commented on his all-out clothes, then raised his hand, pointed at a student who just walked past them and said, "Look at this Down jacket, brand! More than 8000!"

Then he pointed to a boy who was trying to squeeze the door of the school, and said, "The shoes on his feet! Did you see it? It's a limited edition, even if it is less than [-] yuan, you may not be able to buy it!"

After seeing five or six people, the tall and thin man turned around again, pointed at his feet and said to Gao Shuang, "Where is this? This is Dongmian Hutong! The boundary of Chinese opera! There are so many who can come here to go to school, I dare not say, [-]% It’s all rich or expensive.”

Good guy!
It's [-] percent, and you don't dare to say more?
Can you just wrap it up? ! !

In fact, Gao Shuang has always been very identified with Chinese operas.

Let alone Zhao Hai, the second generation of the "official", his own financial conditions when he first entered the school were really a downright poor family.

There are many students with the same conditions as him.

Of course, it is undeniable that many classmates do come from relatively wealthy families.

But this has to consider the actual situation!

It's another matter of bragging about breakfast stalls like Gao Shuang.

There are basically only two situations that can pass the Huaxi interview.

One is gifted, and the other is learned.

After all, there are only a few talented people, and most of them are technical flows that have been taught by teachers who have spent a lot of money.

The cost of art courses is undoubtedly a heavy burden for many Huaxia families.

Therefore, the gap between the rich and the poor among art students is particularly obvious.

Of course, the subjectivity of the interview is too strong, and it is not ruled out that some schools will be more corrupt in this regard.

There are many misunderstandings about this from the outside world.

"Is it so dark? I...cough...!"

Gao Shuang was about to follow the poor man for a few more words, when his eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure standing behind the tall and thin man.

The man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot at this time...

He sanitized his tone at a speed of a few blocks, and said in a righteous manner: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The tall and thin man was already a little excited. Seeing that Gao Shuang was so "stubborn", he spit out the fried dough sticks he had just eaten on the ground: "Bah! Still thinking of having a noble son from a poor family? What a raccoon dog!"

Gao Shuang's eyes swept across the tall and thin man again, and said sincerely, "Do you want to think about it again, I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language!"

The tall and thin man felt sorry for Gao Shuang's ignorance of current affairs, shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth, but it's brother, it's the right way to recognize the reality early."

"..."

Zhu Chuangjin couldn't listen anymore, he tapped the tall and thin back with his finger, and asked coldly, "Which newspaper are you from?"

The tall and thin man turned around and said impatiently, "Which of my newspapers is your fart...Fuck! Helper!?"

……

Just when Gao Shuang was waiting for Zhu Chuangjin to show his power, someone suddenly ran back by pulling his arm.

"Hey? Who is it!"

Gao Shuang was dragged and ran out for more than [-] meters, only to see that it was Zhao Hai who had disappeared for ten days since the Chinese New Year.

I haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and Zhao Hai has turned a lot darker.

The two ran in a hurry, Gao Shuang stopped and breathed a sigh of relief before panting: "I'm going, what are you doing?"

It took more effort for Zhao Hai to drag Gao Shuang away. At this time, he also supported his knees and said, "There are paparazzi coming to block you at the door! Do you still want to chat with people there?"

"Just say a few words, it's fine."

Gao Shuang straightened up, waved his hand and said curiously, "I'm so tight, how did you recognize it?"

Zhao Hai raised his chin towards the alley and said, "I'm coming here with Director Zhu. He heard your voice first, so let me take you away."

"Good guy, I said he stayed there for a long time without making a sound."

Gao Shuang stared at Zhao Hai, and asked with great interest, "Have you been sunbathing on Yuedong Beach, the New Year's Eve?"

Zhao Hai obviously suffered a lot this time, and said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it, go to a century-old shipyard with my uncle to shoot a documentary."

Documentary?
After all, Gao Shuang came from a professional background. He knows that making a documentary requires great patience and enthusiasm, and those who can persevere are worthy of respect.

However, a documentary should be based on the premise of expressing desire, and the method of expression as the means, and the expression skills can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.

The director's personal ability is extremely demanding, but there is actually not much demand for the camera.

Zhao Hai's uncle was overkill when it came to making documentaries.

Gao Shuang pondered for a while, and asked in doubt: "...I didn't hear that there is a new aircraft carrier under construction in Guangdong East?"

Zhao Hai also looked helpless when he heard the words: "What kind of aircraft carrier! Just the broken shipyard that is going to close down soon, and there are two broken ships."

"What's so good about this? Record history?"

"Forget it, this old shipyard is a little different."

Zhao Hai walked towards the back of the school with Gao Shuang, and told him about this trip to eastern Guangdong as he walked.

Speaking of which, this old shipyard is indeed a few years old.

It has a history of [-] years, and there has been a period of unparalleled scenery in the Chinese shipbuilding industry.

But his heyday was more than 60 years ago.

It was also from that time that the shipyard gradually declined due to a large international order.

At that time, a world-renowned shipping company placed an order for two giant oil tankers at their shipyard. The construction period is expected to be a little more than three years!
At that time, the technical level of Huaxia was very limited, and many technologies were relatively backward.

So it is the first time in the world to receive such an international order!
The shipyard was indeed in urgent need of a large order at that time, thus firing its first shot to the international market.

In order to successfully win the order, the shipyard made huge concessions and only charged 10% of the deposit from the other party.

Such an approach of quick success also laid the groundwork for the tragic situation of the shipyard in the future.

At the end of the second year of the project, the shipping company that placed the order collapsed overnight due to financial reasons and went bankrupt!
Such a drastic change made the shipyards who rely on [-]% down payment and their own funds to advance completely bewildered!
At this point, one of the smaller ones was almost finished, while the other was just an empty shell.

But even the smaller one had a displacement of [-] tons.

The larger one has a displacement of more than 4 tons.

In this way, the two cruise ships, which were absolutely huge at the time, became unowned...

Normally, continuing to build and sell to others is not a big problem.

To add insult to injury, the shipping and shipbuilding industry 60 years ago is catching up with the upheaval of technological innovation.

The sea ship we see now, when the bottom of the bow is exposed, we can see a huge bulge.

The raised design is called the bulbous bow.

Its size and shape match the hull to counteract the pressure of the water, resulting in smaller waves.

To put it bluntly, it is breaking waves!
Essential for large sea ships!

However, early sea ships did not have a bulbous bow.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a merchant ship hit a reef while sailing at sea. The ax-like bow was made a big pit, and the thin bow and sides were bulged out like a toad willing to help.

Strangely, the ship arrived at its destination several hours earlier than normal sailing, an unusual phenomenon that has aroused great interest among scientists and shipbuilding experts.

Later, shipbuilding experts from various countries finally solved the mystery of the bulbous bow after thousands of trials.

This design has been used on warships in the early days, and it was not until more than 60 years ago that the bulbous bow gradually became popular on merchant ships.

The two cruise ships manufactured by the shipyard, just in time for the popularity of bulbous bows, also used the straight-up and down-triangle bows of the previous generation of shipping ships.

No bulbous bow!
This difference alone made the two giant cruise ships become scrap metal overnight.

If you want to sell it without changing the bow, the amount of work and cost is really astronomical.

It's not as refreshing as the new one.

The old shipyard was brought down by the drag of these two giant ships.

Fortunately, the family is relatively rich, and it has been lingering for many years.

It's only now that it's slowly slowing down.

The number of orders is increasing year by year, and the dock is not enough.

Since the two semi-finished products occupy two huge docks, they now look particularly unsightly.

In the end, the shipyard gritted its teeth and stomped its feet and decided to demolish the two ships!

Someone looked at the historical background of this incident and was going to make a documentary to record the whole process of the ship breaking. That's how Zhao Hai and his uncle traveled to eastern Guangdong.

Gao Shuang asked curiously, "Where's the job?"

"Brick Terrace."

Zhao Hai replied casually.

Gao Shuang was stunned for a moment, a documentary from Zhuan'ertai?
The specification is not low!
But think about it, if it weren't for Zhuan'ertai, a camera of Zhao Daquan's level would not be able to make documentaries.

Gao Shuang pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Have the two ships been dismantled?"

"Break your ass!"

Zhao Hai seemed to have been mentioned by Gao Shuang to the pain point, and said angrily: "Shipbreaking and shipbuilding are not minor projects. We shot some messy interior and exterior scenes this time, and we didn't even unload a single screw! We will continue to shoot for a year or two.”

Gao Shuang is very unfamiliar with this industry, but he really did not expect that it would take a year or two to shoot a ship.

"How long does it take to dismantle a half-finished iron shell?"

"I don't know if it wasn't for this trip. To reduce pollution when dismantling a ship, it really takes no less effort than building a ship."

After all, Zhao Hai had been in the shipyard for a while, and he still felt some of the doorways. He explained to Gao Shuang: "Half of an old cruise ship is built like this, the biggest source of pollution is asbestos, and a single ship can dismantle thousands of tons. The waste asbestos. This thing is not handled well and has endless consequences, and the state does not allow it.”

"The ship is too old to sell, and the money for dismantling the ship and selling the iron can't match the cost of disposing of pollutants. To be honest, the shipyard is still riding a tiger."

Gao Shuang listened in silence, suddenly stopped and asked, "Then if someone buys these two ships... Can they continue to build the ships?"

"If it can be sold early, how can you wait until now!"

Zhao Hai glanced at Gao Shuang with contempt, and said with a firm tone, "If someone really buys these two pieces of shit now, it's pure! Stupid! Fuck!"
