I Have a Little Black Hole

Wang Yu and the experts he brought were full of praise for the two works of art carved by Lei Tiantang, but for a while, he did not have so much money in the company to buy such superb products, so he had to spend 160 million yuan on Lei Tiantang. More than a dozen pieces of jewelry made from the remaining materials were all packaged and bought. These jewelry are also very popular in the market. Their company will also develop some high-end customers because of the top jade.

So although Wang Yu was jealous of Lei Tiantang's two works of art, he still helped Lei Tiantang figure out how to sell them more cost-effectively. He directly recommended the Beijing branch of Sotheby's Auction House to Lei Tiantang, because as a top international auction house, Sotheby's has enough customers to bid for these two works of art, which is very effective in increasing the auction price.

Lei Tiantang accepted Wang Yu's suggestion and sent Wang Yu away, and he contacted the Beijing branch of Sotheby's auction house. It happens that Sotheby's is now calling for the 2019 spring auction. Sotheby's is very enthusiastic about the top jadeite artworks from Lei Tiantang. The manager of the auction house personally brought experts to Hefei to handle related business.

After experts' appraisal of the two works of art, the estimated value of the two statues is a total of 600 million yuan. Of course, this is the starting price of the auction. If the auction goes up, the final transaction price will definitely increase a lot. This is Sotheby's confidence.

Knowing that Lei Tiantang needed cash now, Sotheby's provided an interest-free loan of 400 million yuan, which was considered a part of the payment in advance. Lei Tiantang was very satisfied with this. He planned to order his own salvage boat in two days. According to his plan, the price of this salvage boat would not be much lower.

Lei Tiantang checked the information on the Internet. At present, the most advanced salvage ship in China is the Dajiang-class ocean-going salvage lifeboat. It has a length of 156 meters, a width of 20 meters and a draft of 16 meters. The speed can reach 20 knots and the endurance is 18,000 nautical miles.

At present, each fleet of the Navy has Dajiang-class in service, and the Dajiang-class ocean-going salvage lifeboat is one of the auxiliary ships of the Chinese military. The development began in 1973, the first ship started construction at Jiangnan Shipyard in 1975, and was completed and commissioned in November 1979. It has a displacement of up to 12,000 tons at full load, as well as a helicopter platform with two MAN K9Z60-105E diesel engines with a total power of 18,000 horsepower and dual shafts and double propellers. 2 sets of 630kW diesel generator sets. Its wind resistance has also reached level 12.

Lei Tiantang felt that such a big ship would meet his requirements for going out into the waves, but unfortunately, because it was a military ship, he couldn't buy it. However, he does not need the ship's grade to reach the military grade, as long as the displacement and wind and wave resistance level are sufficient. Moreover, the civilian grade does not need to install weapons or the like, and the design can be built with the most advanced technology at present, which can completely satisfy him.

After a detailed comparison of domestic shipyards, he finally planned to order his first salvage ship at Jiangnan Shipyard. The reason is simple, because Jiangnan Shipyard has experience in building such ships, and it is military grade. Selecting them to design and build civilian-level salvage vessels can reassure Lei Tiantang.

Now that he had made a decision, Lei Tiantang didn't plan to drag it on, and bought a plane ticket to the magic capital. After getting off the plane at Pudong International Airport, he called a car directly to the headquarters of Jiangnan Shipyard in Modu.

He was greeted by a business manager, because Lei Tiantang had contacted their company by phone before he came to Modu. Since he really has the intention and strength to order ships, the business manager is very enthusiastic. As for how to confirm that he has the ability to order ships, this is of course the information provided by Lei Tiantang. Jiangnan Shipyard confirmed it through its own investigation. Otherwise, if you just make a phone call and say you want to buy a ship, who would believe it.

Hello, Mr. Lei, welcome to our Jiangnan Shipyard! My name is Liu Jianjun, I'm in charge of business reception. He extended his hands to Lei Tiantang as he spoke.

Lei Tiantang shook hands with him and said, Hello, Manager Liu, trouble you!

No trouble! Customers like Mr. Lei come to our shipyard,

It's too late to welcome us, and if that's all trouble, I wish it was a little more troublesome! Liu Jianjun laughed.

Hehe, that's true! Manager Liu, it's not clear on the phone, can we communicate about the salvage boat I want to order now and confirm the construction plan? Lei Tiantang is still very interested in this boat. .

Haha, Mr. Lei, don't be in such a hurry! Look, it's almost dinner time now, let's go have a meal together, come back and I'll show you a good tour of our shipyard, so that you can get to know us, so you can You can also know what you know! Manager Liu said enthusiastically.

That's fine! I'll listen to Manager Liu! To be honest, I'm also very curious. I've never seen how a ship is built when I'm so old, so I'll take a good look at it this time. Lei Tiantang heard this. Liu Jianjun said that, he is not dissatisfied, because as an inlander, he rarely sees big ships, let alone how to build them.

After having lunch with the enthusiastic Liu Jianjun, Lei Tiantang visited the shipbuilding base on Changxing Island under his leadership. To be honest, Lei Tiantang was shocked because his scale was so huge! Under the introduction of Liu Jianjun, he had a new understanding of the shipyard.

Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. is China's oldest military shipbuilding enterprise affiliated to my country State Shipbuilding Corporation. It was founded in 1865 (the fourth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), and has gone through Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, Jiangnan Dockyard, Navy Jiangnan Shipyard, and Jiangnan Shipyard. In 1996, it was restructured into Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd..

On June 3, 2008, on the occasion of the 143rd anniversary of Jiangnan Shipbuilding, it was officially announced that Jiangnan Shipbuilding had successfully completed the relocation task and officially settled in CSSC Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base. CSSC Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base is located on Changxing Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It covers an area of ​​about 5.8 million square meters and has a coastline of about 3,800 meters. The main construction contents include four large docks and 17 outfitting docks. With a shipbuilding capacity of 4.5 million tons, it is currently the largest modern shipbuilding base with the most advanced facilities and the widest variety of production in China.

Liu Jianjun took Lei Tiantang to drive a car along the docks where ships were being built in the base. For everything in front of him, Lei Tiantang felt the novelty and shock. Those giant ships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons that were under construction were too huge. Fortunately, he also knew that those were transport ships and the salvage he wanted to order. Ships are two concepts. Although the tonnage of the salvage ship he intends to order cannot be compared with these giants, in terms of value, the price of the salvage ship is several times that of such a cargo ship, because the advanced equipment to be loaded on the salvage ship is too much. .

It's amazing! Manager Liu, thank you for taking me to visit! Lei Tiantang thanked Liu Jianjun with a smile.

You are too kind, Mr. Lei. If your order is confirmed, it will also be produced and built here in the future! said Liu Jianjun proudly.

That's good, then, we've finished visiting, let's discuss the details when we go back! Lei Tiantang couldn't wait.

Okay, let's go back now! Liu Jianjun was very happy with Lei Tiantang's affirmative answer.

The two returned to the company by car, and Liu Jianjun began to discuss specific details with him. Because Lei Tiantang said his general request on the phone, Liu Jianjun knew that this was a big order, so he is now listening very seriously to Lei Tiantang's specific requirements.
