Great warships

Chapter 221 051C Officially Starts Construction

Early the next morning.

Otto was radiant, carrying his handbag, pushed open the door, and was about to go out to continue working. At the same time, the door next to him opened, and a young man in the same suit and tie appeared with a big brother.

"Good morning." The other party said.

Therefore, Otto could only answer: "Good morning."

Just like that, the two of them got together and went downstairs together.

"I just bought this house and moved here last night. We will be neighbors from now on, please take care of me." Qin Tao said to the other party with a smile.

"I've only been here for three days." Otto said, "I'm renting here temporarily."

For Germans, there is no shame in renting a house, and you have to pay taxes every year to buy a house. Where can renting a house be chic and comfortable?Moreover, being able to live here is quite capable.

"I am the boss of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group. This is my business card." Qin Tao said, and handed over his business card.

Seeing that the neighbor was so active, Otto certainly couldn’t be polite. After receiving the business card, Otto handed over his own business card: “This is my business card. I am the marketing manager of Metro. market."

"Metro? When I was in Europe, I saw a lot of Metro warehouse supermarkets." Qin Tao said, "You are world-class powerhouses in the supermarket retail industry."

Otto didn't know what Qin Tao, the Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, was like. After all, he didn't work in this field, but Qin Tao knew about Metro, and what he said made people like to listen, so Otto also smiled: " Yes, we are very strong in this area. We came here to open a dedicated supermarket chain."

Qin Tao shook his head: "Mr. Otto, with all due respect, you may hit a wall."

"Why?" Otto asked curiously.

"Because this is China, and here is our own national conditions. You still don't seem to know anything about these."

At this time, the two had already walked downstairs, and a Santana car was waiting downstairs. Qin Tao got into the car and waved to Otto: "Mr. Otto, goodbye!"

In the car, the driver of Mingzhou Shipyard who drove over overnight asked Qin Tao, "President Qin, where are you going? Do you want to go back to Mingzhou?"

"No, we're going to the water-jet plant, and you'll find a place to rest when you get there."

"it is good."

The car drove away, Otto looked confused, he didn't know what was going on, he had clearly inspected it, the potential here was great, and, since this was the window to the outside world, the people here were very sensitive to imported things. I have a good impression!
What does it mean that you are not familiar with the national conditions here?Obviously, it has been investigated clearly!

Out of curiosity, Otto walked out, took a taxi, and planned to talk to relevant government personnel.

That night.

When Qin Tao came back with his wife Zhao Ling, he saw Otto standing in the corridor, smoking a cigarette. The butt of the cigarette flickered, which shocked Zhao Ling.Otto looked at Qin Tao with a sad face.

"Boss Qin, you are back. I have something to ask you for advice."

"Okay, but I have to send my wife back first, and then talk to you."

Otto nodded and followed without saying a word.

After sending Zhao Ling in, Qin Tao followed to Otto's residence. The houses on both sides had a completely symmetrical structure. After entering, Qin Tao sat on the sofa slowly, watching Otto hand him coffee.

"Mr. Qin, I don't understand." Otto said, "Aren't you trying to attract investment? Our company, Metro, is a well-known retail leader in Europe. How could your leader disagree?"

In spite of his identity as a foreign businessman, Otto did not become a cold shoulder. He heard that he asked for a meeting, and the city leaders took time to meet him in the midst of their busy schedules. However, for some reason, the other party refused to agree.

"You have introduced Audi, Santana, and diesel engines from MTU. Why do you have prejudice against us Metro?"

Qin Tao secretly laughed in his heart, it was exactly the same as his guess!

"Manager Otto, think about it, what are we importing from China?"

Otto rolled his eyes: "Heavy industry?"

He finally understood.

"That's right, heavy industry. Our domestic heavy industry is lacking, but our light industry is not short. Our daily necessities and agricultural products can still be exported. At this time, how could our leaders approve you to come in? Are you The giants in the retail industry will impact our market if they come in. Besides, don’t we have to spend foreign exchange to buy your products? You can refer to our country’s foreign exchange reserves and you should be able to understand the reason.”

"However, the market is inherently international, and people here like our German products very much." At this time, Otto had already learned the tricks, but he was still not reconciled.

"That's ordinary people, and the superiors have their considerations." Qin Tao said: "If you want to directly open a chain supermarket here, there is almost no chance of success. If you want to come in, you can only Take a roundabout path."

Detour?
Ao Tuo looked at Qin Tao: "President Qin, please advise!"

"At present, there is only one way for your products to come in. Our company that can earn foreign exchange puts forward the demand for imports, imports your products in small batches, and then sells them on our containers. Everything is difficult at the beginning. , you first use this method to enter our domestic market, and then slowly grow bigger. After a few years, when you have a firm foothold here and our foreign exchange reserves are also rich, you may be allowed to open chain stores. "

Otto became silent, and after more than ten minutes, he finally nodded: "President Qin, thank you for your guidance, but the large supermarkets here on your side are all for domestic supply, and they have no possibility of earning foreign exchange."

"Yes, this is a problem." Qin Tao said: "Since we are neighbors and you have difficulties, then I have to help you. Our group has export projects and can earn foreign exchange. Our group also has enterprises in Huating. At present, there are a group of employees who want to open a supermarket by themselves. If you really want to bring your own products into our country, I can take you there tomorrow to have a look. Of course, if you have concerns, then forget it, as if I didn’t Say."

"Yes, I am willing, please take me to see it tomorrow." Otto said.

This matter was negotiated so easily, and Qin Tao felt happy for a while. Now that the supermarket is open, there are some foreign products, which will definitely be popular!

When she returned to her own home next door, Zhao Ling had already prepared dinner. It was simple, one tomato scrambled eggs, one cabbage fried meat, put them on the dining table, and put them in a bowl, waiting for Qin Tao to come back to eat together.

"Well, if we light two more candles and open a bottle of red wine, it will be more romantic." Qin Tao said.

Zhao Ling gave him a blank look: "What, are you not satisfied?"

"Of course not, I'm very happy." Qin Tao said, sat down, and began to eat vegetables.

Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao with a smile on her face: "How is the matter going?"

"Of course it was very successful. Now that our supermarket is open, it will be very prosperous. Other people will also use their brains when they see the popularity of the supermarket." Qin Tao said.

This is what Qin Tao is looking forward to seeing. In the 90s, there was an upsurge in going to the sea. Many leaders gave up their iron rice bowls and went to the sea to seek gold. As long as they guide themselves, those idlers in the factory should explore new paths. I can kill two birds with one stone.

If half of the people are cut by strong means, there will definitely be troubles. He has to sing good faces and good faces, and make the best use of the situation so that this transfer can be carried out smoothly.

Half a month later, Dingmai Supermarket opened in this way.

The whole idea was created by Ding Min, so the name of the supermarket has a T, which makes it more meaningful. On the one hand, it hopes to sell well, and on the other hand, it also means Metro. On the big sign of the supermarket, there is also Painted with the METRO logo.

On the first day of the supermarket’s opening, there was a lot of people. When people walked into the supermarket and found that there were several rows of shelves filled with foreign goods, their eyes widened.

At this moment, the waiter at the side introduced enthusiastically.

"Our supermarket has a cooperation with the German company Metro."

"Why, you don't know about Metro? Let me introduce it to you. This is the largest supermarket chain in Europe. Now it has a cooperative relationship with our Dingmai supermarket. If you want to buy foreign products, you have to come to our supermarket. What? Don't believe it? You Look, the one standing over there is our partner."

Otto smiled and waved to the customers.

Foreigners, foreign goods!
That afternoon, the news spread quickly, and that night, the foreign goods on the shelves were sold out, and most of the other goods were also sold.

Ding Min flicked the beads of the abacus. As an old warehouse manager, she was still not used to using a calculator, so she quickly calculated the sales of the day.

"Boss Qin, we sold [-] goods today, with a gross profit of [-]!"

Dingmai Supermarket earns 20 yuan in one day. In this way, it can earn more than [-] yuan a month, and the funds invested by the group can be recovered within the same month!
The news spread throughout the factory on the second day, and those who were destined to be transferred were all salivating with envy.

"Chief Hu, I request to work in a supermarket!"

"I don't care about this. Go directly to Store Manager Ding. You have decided to transfer jobs? Then can I write down your name?"

"Chief Hu, the cars in our factory have been idle all the time, and we can't transport much goods. I request to contract the cars in our factory. I want to do the transportation!"

"Of course there is no problem. As long as the transportation of the goods in the factory is not delayed, you can contract for the remaining time. However, this is also a job transfer."

"Chief Hu, I want to sell tea eggs at the gate of our factory. Now the society is saying that the one who makes the atomic bomb is not as good as the one who sells tea eggs!"

"Okay, I'll say hello to the security department, and I won't drive you away."

"Chief Hu, I have a big project that will definitely make money. The factory has to invest 20 yuan for me!"

"I don't care if I say this, Mr. Qin is next door, talk to Mr. Qin directly."

On this day, the workers who were stimulated by the eight thousand and eight profits, seeing that it was impossible to continue dawdling in the factory, finally decided to give it a go.

At this time, in the office next door, Qin Tao was talking with Zhao Min.

Although Qin Tao was very serious at the time and asked to abolish the entire propaganda department, Qin Tao still needed to help these people find their way out.

"All of you in the Propaganda Department can sing and dance, and you're all good-looking. If you stay in our unit, that's a shame."

"President Qin, are you saying that we can join the army's art troupe? I heard that you are related to the navy, can you tell us something?"

Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "The art troupe of the army is long gone. The country will definitely allow folks to shoot film and television programs in the future. You can go out for a while while you are still young. By the way, have you watched "Desire"?"

"Of course I've seen it." Zhao Min was excited for a while: "Mr. Qin, you mean, I can be on TV and become a star?"

"The road always comes out on its own. Only when you go out and wander, will you have a chance, don't you think?"

"En." Zhao Min nodded: "Boss Qin, please show me a way. I heard that Dingmai Supermarket was planned by you behind and brought foreign products."

Qin Tao thought for a while: "I've heard of a few people, you can look for them, but whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself."

"Ah."

next!
Qin Tao was very busy, and he was enthusiastic and considerate to help the personnel who were transferred to other posts to come up with ideas. In this way, the transfer and diversion of the Huating Waterjet Propeller Factory was carried out in a stable and orderly manner. He personally instructed the trial production of the variable pitch propeller. In a blink of an eye, It's already November.

Although Qin Tao doesn't want to leave yet, it's very comfortable to go back to his comfort zone every day, but he still can't live here forever, after all, Mingzhou is his foundation.

On this day, a familiar person appeared in Qin Tao's office.

"President Qin, you called me from Mingzhou, what's the matter?" Zhao Changshui stood there and asked Qin Tao.

"Uncle Zhao, that Jianghai ship is almost ready to be delivered, right?"

"Well, it's coming soon, and it will definitely be handed in by the end of the year."

"Well, you won't be responsible for this ship in the future. When I return to Mingzhou, I will take charge of it personally and deliver this ship to the customer."

"What about me?" Zhao Changshui was a little puzzled.

"You stay here and become the director of the factory."

"What?" Zhao Changshui was a little anxious: "Although I am also a shipbuilder, I started as a welder. As a factory director of water jets, I am an amateur leading an expert!"

"Uncle Zhao, no matter what you do, you will learn with your heart. I believe that you can be a good factory manager here. There are plenty of people who understand technology. Your task here is to make the hard-working and hard-working workers of our Mingzhou Shipyard work hard. The virtues of the people, carry them out."

Qin Tao approached Zhao Changshui, and put his mouth next to his ear: "Uncle Zhao, I will feel relieved when you are here."

Zhao Changshui understood something, and nodded his head hard: "President Qin, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

Qin Tao finally chose cronyism and transferred Zhao Changshui. The modern company personnel system has not yet been established. Now, Qin Tao can only use people he trusts.

Although Zhang Guangrong had no bad intentions, he was too weak. He did a good job as the workshop director, but he was not very competent as the factory director.Only by airborne one can we manage the factory better.

After arranging the affairs here, Qin Tao finally returned to Mingzhou, and he had to come back because there was an important ceremony that he had to attend.

"Dad, you might as well live here, so you don't have to run back and forth all the time." When Qin Tao saw Wu Shengli, he immediately suggested to him.

Wu Shengli smiled: "Live here? Are you going to demote me?"

"Of course not, the whole gray building and yellow building can be moved here." Qin Tao said irresponsibly.

"Okay, I'll take your words back and see if those people will drown you with foam." Wu Shengli said with a smile, and then they walked to the slipway together.

Today is an important day, because, after a long wait, the navy's appropriation has finally entered the account of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, and the first 051C is finally about to start construction!

The shed on the river beach in the distance is still there, but the contents inside are gone. The Steadfast has been dismantled with all its equipment, and the remaining parts have entered the steelmaking furnace.

"Our No. 115 destroyer is finally about to start construction. I don't know, will there be steel plates from the firm?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao.

The first 051C destroyer, the hull number was named 115, so a strange thing happened, what about 114?
According to the distribution principle of destroyer hull numbers in the domestic navy, the destroyer hull numbers of the three major fleets are separated by a certain number and are not continuous. Specifically, the northern fleet occupies the 101 number ranges from 12 to 30X, while the eastern fleet The fleet has 131 numbers from 15 to 30X, and the southern fleet starts from 160 and goes backwards.

The Type 052 destroyer currently under construction has hull numbers 112 and 113 respectively, and it is said that 114 will be next.But the 051C being built now skips this number and goes directly to 115.

Is it because 114 is unlucky?

Of course not.

If it is said to be unlucky, then the hull number 514 is even more unlucky. In the navy's equipment sequence, there are still warships, and no accidents have been seen while galloping on the ocean.

The lack of 114 is because this warship was not built.

At the end of the 80s, the 112 ship started construction. At the same time, the 113 warship began to plan. This warship planned to use a batch of domestic products instead of imported ones. into localization.

As for the 114 ship, according to the plan at the time, it was a model that further increased the localization rate, even including the localization of the LM2500 gas turbine.

As a result, the West closed the door later, and this warship died without a problem. Anyway, construction was not started, so it was not built at all, and this number was skipped. There were several similar situations, which caused the hull number missing.

At the same time, according to this naming rule, it can also be seen that the two 051Cs currently under construction belong to the northern fleet, and their main duty is to cruise in the waters east of the capital and hold up an air defense umbrella.

Now the air defense of the motherland is under great pressure, especially in the capital. Therefore, these two professional air defense destroyers are also highly valued by the superiors. Although the country's finances are tight, they still decide to allocate funds for construction.

At this time, Wu Shengli proposed that the steel plate returned to the furnace of the firm has a unique meaning, which seems to represent the end of an era and the beginning of a new era.The steel plate has no emotion, but it can be reborn in this way. Lao Maozi's sea soul continues to be inherited on the domestic destroyer.

Qin Tao shook his head.

"Of course not. Now our Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant has been able to smelt very high-quality marine steel plates with iron ore from Australia, which can fully meet the needs of naval warships. At present, we are developing steel with higher strength. In the future, when our navy builds aircraft carriers, there should be enough qualified steel to use." Qin Tao said.

In the past, we used remelted steel from warships because we had no better ones, and we were building missile boats. Now we want to build domestically produced destroyers, of course we have to use our own newly smelted steel.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Wu Shengli nodded: "You Mingzhou is really a place where miracles are created!"

"That's because of me." Qin Tao is very good at selling melons to Wang Po.

Wu Shengli smiled, and several other people also laughed together. In a low voice, everyone walked onto the slipway.

At this time, there are already many people below.

The aircraft carrier made for Siam is still being welded in sections. The front has already taken shape, but there is still nothing behind. It looks very interesting. At the same time, the 051-ton berth is very spacious, so , it is completely possible to build [-]C on the unused part of the berth, and the two sides can be completely separated without affecting each other.

"Comrades, I am very happy to represent the navy and come here to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the first 051C ship No. 115. For our navy, this is the beginning of a new era!" Wu Shengli stood in front of the microphone and began his speech , he was extremely emotional at this time.

"Hundred years of humiliation and the history of being invaded by foreign powers are still vivid in our minds. These facts tell us that we will be beaten if we fall behind. We must have a strong navy and powerful warships! 051C will support an air defense network for our navy , we look forward to the early launch of No. 115, and we also look forward to more warships entering our navy's order!"

The following thunderous applause.

"Now, on behalf of the navy, I will issue the qualification certificate of equipment manufacturing unit to Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group!" Wu Shengli picked up a certificate with a red skin, and then read it out: "After review, Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group complies with GBJ9001C to In the coming year, there is a management system requirement, and it has the qualifications of an equipment manufacturing unit, which has been registered and included in the "**** Naval Equipment Manufacturing Unit Directory", and the scope of the manufacturing is a copy..."

For this certificate, Mingzhou Shipyard has been looking forward to it for a long time. Only with this certificate can it be qualified to build warships for the navy. The missile boats built in the past are all new, and others cannot imitate them. Therefore, no one will hold them accountable This, but, if you want to build destroyers, frigates, etc., you must have this book.

"On behalf of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, I would like to thank the navy for its approval." Qin Tao took the notebook, and there was another round of applause.

"Now, I announce that the first ship of 051C, No. 115, has officially started construction!"
