Chapter 708: More profitable than fishing boats?
Tian Caihua asked in shock: "How big is this ship?"
Two shipwrights were making preparations. One of them said, "The ship is 175 meters long, 162 meters between the two columns, 22.3 meters wide, 13.2 meters deep, and has a designed draft of 9.5 meters."
175 meters! Tian Caihua was stunned: "Is this a 175-meter ship?"
It was one hundred meters longer than the fishing boat they had jointly ordered!
The boatman proudly said: "You can measure it, the error is less than two millimeters!!!"
In terms of size, their shipyard has been able to achieve an error of within two millimeters! Almost no error!
This accuracy shocked foreigners.
Not to mention innovations and breakthroughs in other technologies.
This is why their shipyards’ export orders are increasing year by year.
The technology of their shipyards is advancing with each passing day.
Of course Tian Caihua would not measure it, it was not her family's boat, so she would measure it and say: "This big boat must be very big, right?"
The boatman understood what she meant and proudly replied, "The fuel consumption is about 32 tons per day."
Tian Caihua looked at Jiang Xia: "How many kilograms are 32 tons?"
My son carries one ton, equivalent to one thousand kilograms, every day.
One kilogram equals one kilogram!
One kilogram is equal to two catties!
so……
Jiang Xia: “64,000 kilograms.”
Tian Caihua: "...What did your husband order such a big ship for? Gold?"
Consuming 64,000 kilograms of oil a day, can we earn back the money by shipping gold ore? Everyone was amused by her words.
Father Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, it is filled with gold!"
Transport a shipload of goods for others, and then transport a shipload of gold back home!
Zhou Chengxin explained: "This is a cargo ship that can carry 20,000 tons of cargo. How much difference is there between 20,000 tons and 32 tons? Or if you compare 20,000 yuan and 32 yuan, do you think its fuel consumption is not high?"
Tian Caihua didn’t even graduate from elementary school, so she couldn’t calculate such a large number.
But she still understood the difference between 20,000 yuan and 32 yuan! So when Zhou Chengxin described it like this, Tian Caihua understood it immediately! She even thought of other things...
So!!! If this ship is transporting goods for others, and the freight is calculated at 1 yuan per kilogram, then it can make nearly 20,000 yuan for each shipment!!!
If you calculate the freight at 50 cents per kilogram, you can still make 10,000 yuan at a time!
Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!!! Isn't that more profitable than a fishing boat? How can Zhou Chenglei buy a boat so well? Why did the three brothers buy a fishing boat together? They should have bought this kind of boat together!
Tian Caihua immediately ran to Jiang Xia and said, "Xiao Xia, will you order this kind of cargo ship in the future? Let's continue to partner up to order a ship like this? What do you think of Ruan Tang? Let's continue to partner up to order a cargo ship like this. This ship makes a lot of money!"
Ruan Tang: “…”
Jiang Xia: “…”
Zhou Chengxin was really convinced: "Do you know how much this cargo ship costs?"
Order together? What can we order together?
Tian Caihua: "How much? One million? We can collect the boat later."
That way she can save money slowly over a few years, and save up 300,000 yuan. Is that enough?
The shipyard employee was so shocked that he blurted out: "Big sister, are you kidding? One million? Even one million US dollars is not enough! The cost is not enough! The equipment and technology used in this ship are the most advanced in our shipyard!"
The shipyard employees did not know that Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia bought the ship at cost price.
Because Zhou Chenglei provided free technical guidance to the shipyard more than once, which saved them a lot of time and test costs, not to mention saving a lot of money, but also making a lot of money! Take the Kent Ring as an example, now the Kent Ring is internationally renowned! What's more, Zhou Chenglei gave some advice on the structure and stability of the ship and its wind and wave resistance a while ago.
All the experts have been studying and calculating for a month and they all think it is feasible, but they have not yet done it to verify it.
If successful, their ship will reach a new height! The price will definitely increase significantly.
Just now, Zhou Chenglei signed another agreement with the shipyard to give the ship to the shipyard as a new technology test ship for sea trials for a period of time.
That is to say, the sea trial will take a longer time, because the shipyard needs to test it repeatedly and record various data, and if there are any problems, it will have to be re-debugged.
Taking all the above reasons into consideration, Director Xu applied to his superiors to sell the ship to Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei at cost price.
After the water test is completed, pay the money and sign for it formally.
Zhou Chenglei earned enough to pay the balance for the ship by working as a translator for the shipyard and the machine tool factory at the Guangzhou Trade Fair. Originally, Director Zhou said that he should use the money to pay the balance directly, but Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia disagreed. They invested the money in stocks instead, hoping to make as much money as possible.
The money Jiangxia earned was invested in two factories to buy new equipment and build factory buildings.
So now they don’t have much cash.
Tian Caihua said nothing. She didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Jiang Xia: "Come on board and see what the boat looks like."
Jiang Xia has never seen it.
So the family climbed onto the boat carefully.
The boat was very big and the family went around the boat.
When Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei came to the cargo hold with the child in their arms, he said to Jiang Xia, "I'll put my sister on top and slide down, and you catch her?"
This is a bulk carrier, so the cross-section of the cargo hold is prismatic.
This design facilitates unloading and prevents cargo from moving and endangering the stability of the ship.
So one side of the cargo hold is tilted so that children can be put on it and slide down.
"Okay." So Jiang Xia squatted down and prepared to pick up the child.
Zhou Chenglei placed his daughter on the inclined surface.
My daughter's body immediately slid down.
Although sliding down like this is not as long as a slide, a six-month-old baby has never played on a slide.
The little sister was stunned for a moment, but after her mother picked up the conversation, she started laughing.
After being caught by her mother, my sister reached out to her father and then pointed at the boat.
Obviously still want to play.
Zhou Chenglei was also patient. He took his daughter from Jiang Xia's arms and put her on the bed.
Over and over again.
“Chuckle, chuckle…”
The baby's bell-like laughter attracted everyone to come over.
Both Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jiang were holding their children in their arms.
The younger brother was in Jiang's father's arms. When he heard his sister's laughter, he turned his head to look over, then rushed forward, shouting excitedly that he wanted to come over.
Father Jiang almost couldn't hold him firmly and quickly took him over.
The brother in Zhou's father's arms was much calmer and just looked in the direction of his sister.
Anyway, you will be able to play it, just like eating, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, it's just a matter of sooner or later.
This kid already has experience.
Father Zhou likes these happy scenes the most. Children are magical. They will cry when they go to a place with a bad atmosphere.
Now the little granddaughter is laughing so happily, and the whole cargo hold is echoing with her laughter, which proves that this ship has a good aura and good luck!
"Grandpa will carry you to play too!"
Let more laughter resound throughout the cargo hold, and let the laughter bring a life of smooth sailing, prosperity, and peace!
Thank you for voting and rewarding friends~
There is one more chapter, tomorrow morning~ Note: The ship data comes from the Internet, but I can't find the price of the ship
