Chapter 161
The incense in the temple is very good, and there are people burning incense coming and going. They hold the incense high above their heads, and their pious eyes seem to condense all their hopes in the prostrations one after another.
Wu Ming and Lin Wei stood under a peach tree, looking at the endless stream of pilgrims in the temple.
A gust of breeze blew by, the peach branches swayed, and the peach blossoms were flying like rain. It was like a spring scene of the prosperous peach blossoms in the mountain temple.
Lin Wei understood why the incense was so popular here. This temple was on a mountain with good air and beautiful scenery. Even as a tourist attraction, it was a very good choice.
But such a beautiful place buries so many sins that cannot be seen in the light.
"Would the great monk say that to all pilgrims?" Wu Ming said thoughtfully.
Lin Wei stared at the incense burner in the yard and shook her head: "No, he will only choose those who seem to be from a wealthy background." Ordinary people are of no use to them. They can earn some incense money, but the wealth of the rich is different. .
This kind of thing is not uncommon in later generations. She once had a business partner who got cancer. She went to the temple to offer incense. The monks there said that she had accumulated karma from previous lives. No matter how much money she spent on medical treatment, it would not be useful. She could only treat her with cancer. Only by donating all your wealth can you atone for your sins.
Sometimes you can’t imagine how blind people can be when they are desperate. Hundreds of millions of dollars were donated immediately. They all knew about it in the news.
Her friend had no chance of surviving, but in the end he passed away because of delayed treatment.
Lin Wei has thought about this problem. Perhaps this is the reason why many "gods" preach among the poor. Poverty and disease are the most desperate things. When people cannot fight against reality, they place their hope on God.
But the more this happens, the easier it is to be taken advantage of.
Wu Ming saw that her brows had not relaxed, so he comforted her: "In that case, don't take that person's words to heart."
Lin Wei smiled, but her eyes were a little unfocused: "If what I just gave you was my own horoscope , maybe I will believe it."
She didn't know what her horoscope was at all. She had forgotten it a long time ago. She only knew her birthday, so she made it up randomly, and the result was -
Tiansha Lone Star, Xing. Kill the six relatives!
How vicious!
If it were true, thinking about her previous life, she would have been plagued by nightmares every day. Regardless of whether she was superstitious or not, she would never dare to get together with her family again.
"Wu Ming, find someone to investigate this temple and Fu Wenfan's mother. It's best to find the witnesses at the time."
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment and looked at her: "What are you suspecting?"
"Fu Wenfan's mother If you abandon him and donate your family property to become a monk, do you think he will hate his mother?"
"How did you think of this?" Wu Ming looked at her in surprise.
Lin Wei asked people to check Fu Wenfan and found that his mother died of self-immolation. She knew that Fu Wenfan's wife and children died in a fire in the previous life. Such a big thing was widely reported by newspapers at the time, but Lin Wei I didn’t know that Fu Wenfan’s mother was like this too, so this was too coincidental.
It was the same fire, but one was an accident and the other was suicide.
But no matter which one it is, it is easy to hide the intention. Once the fire burns out, no evidence will be left.
"I just suddenly thought of it. I'm afraid this is not the first time Fu Wenfan has done this kind of thing, so I want to check."
One of the fastest ways to solve problems in the world is to kill people, whether it is revenge or seeking money, as long as it is not discovered It’s something that costs nothing and is easily addictive. And Fu Wenfan was so experienced that it seemed like it was his first time.
If evidence can really be found, Fu Wenfan will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
A matricide cannot be tolerated in this society.
This time we have to find a way to convict him of the crime, and we can't end up ruining it on witness like last time.
They had contacted Xu Zhong several times before, but the other party had always denied it, saying that He Xin died suddenly and unexpectedly in the middle of the night. However, it was just once, and the man refused to see them again.
Lin Wei patted the peach petals that fell on her clothes and said, "Let's go back."
...
"This is nonsense."
Lin Wei separated the shipyard without encountering any resistance in the board of directors, but in fact some people were dissatisfied. .
These British executives at the shipyard do not want to do this kind of divestiture, which is called having a big tree behind them to enjoy the shade. Separation from the Kowloon shipping industry may cause some inconvenience to them, but they have no say.
They didn't know what Lin Wei wanted to do, especially since she changed her name. She couldn't really want to build a ship, right?
What a joke.
Lin Wei was used to the bad faces of these British people. She threw the documents on the table: "You don't have the ability to build a ship, and you can't change it? What are you opposed to?"
There are six old ships in this factory, the largest That ship is 8,700 tons, and there are two 3,600-ton ships and three 400-ton ships.
It is usually rented out or used for freight transportation.
After Lin Wei looked at it, she found that the ship was too old. New ships often cost millions of dollars, but the value of these broken ships was only 300,000 to 1 million Hong Kong dollars each.
Renovation of old ships and reverse research and development is a step that most R&D companies have to take.
"These ships will be decommissioned in a few years. They will be dismantled and sold directly. Why waste manpower and material resources on this?"
Lin Wei looked at the speaker: "So your reason is that it won't make money?"
" The company has never regarded this as its main source of income. "
That was in the past. In the future, the main component of our income will be the renovation of old ships. Since we are already a shipbuilding company, we cannot manufacture them, so we must at least be able to renovate them."
"What?"
"Are you kidding?"
As soon as Lin Wei finished speaking, everyone immediately started talking. They could not accept this change and thought that Lin Wei was acting randomly.
"You want us to give up the old ship dismantling business?"
"There is no need to give up. Only when you can dismantle can you change. They complement each other, but the disassembly process needs to be standardized."
Not to mention the impact of cutting off the dismantling business, most workers will lose their jobs. , the company's income will decrease, and they will also lose their main source of parts. They will keep the parts they need and sell the ones they no longer need.
However, operations need to be standardized in the future. Masks and dust-proof clothing need to be provided to employees to avoid toxic substances harming workers' bodies, and they cannot work for long periods of time. She can only do this now. When conditions permit to build ships, she will The ship-breaking business will be completely cut off.
"How can you guarantee that someone will buy the ship we renovated?"
Lin Wei was drinking water. When he heard what he said, she put down the cup and her eyes became cold: "Have you read the plan I gave you this morning? No?"
The conference room fell silent.
They instinctively objected when they heard the news. How could they bother to read the plan?
Lin Wei was a little angry: "It doesn't matter if you object. At least you should use the feasibility of the plan to refute me, instead of shouting that it won't work! Apart from singing the opposite tune, don't you have any way to find a sense of presence?" She spoke very harshly. , completely different from what he looked like just now.
She knew that these people were dissatisfied, but now these people were opposed purely for the sake of opposition.
"Show them all to me now, and then refute me after reading them!"
She really hated these British people so much that when she got angry, she wanted to kill them all.
"Container ship?" Someone glanced at the keyword in the information.
Container ships refer to containers. Compared with ordinary general cargo ships, they are easier to load and unload and more efficient.
The sea shipping time of an ordinary cargo ship may only be one month, but the loading and unloading time may be longer than the shipping time, often causing congestion at coastal terminals and low port loading and unloading efficiency.
Containers can reduce the time a ship spends in port, which is a necessity of the times. Ship kings have already begun to renovate old ships.
If they can take on this business and really get jobs, they can use the ship in their hands to practice. With successful examples, there are so many old ships in need of renovation in Hong Kong, so there is no need to worry about not getting jobs.
They have a natural advantage in doing this. They had never thought that they could make money in this way.
Lin Wei's plan has already completed the container standards and some surveying and mapping.
From some annotations and data in this picture, it can be seen that Lin Wei is very professional and not ignorant.
"So what do you think?" Lin Wei asked.
"But our manpower..."
"There is no one to recruit. Is this difficult?"
It is difficult to recruit professional people. Everyone is rushing to do jobs like dismantling.
Allocating professional people to do ship modification is called a reasonable allocation of manpower.
Everyone looked at Lin Wei's face and remained silent for a moment.
After a while, someone said: "Then let's screen and see how many suitable candidates there are."
"Send the shortlisted list to me, and I will interview them." Lin Wei said.
"Interview in person?"
"Otherwise?" Lin Wei asked.
The other party stopped talking.
Lin Wei's anger continued, and these people realized that this woman looked young, but had a very bad temper.
Ordinary workers at the shipyard have experienced a lot these days. The ship-breaking yard has inexplicably turned into a shipbuilding yard.
Each of them received a new contract, including some temporary workers, with redefined work content and hours. It's a good thing to sign a contract because I heard people say that the contract will pay for their insurance.
It’s just that the company suddenly requires them to standardize their operations and equip them with gloves, masks and protective clothing. This makes them very uncomfortable to work and less efficient, so they often take off their equipment secretly, and the supervisor will turn a blind eye. Close one eye.
Later, the company held a meeting and shared some common sense with them, saying that places involving asbestos and lead substances would produce toxic gases, and asked them to pay attention to protection in this area.
The new boss is a little girl who speaks very nicely.
She said that everyone is the backbone of the company and the backbone of the family. If the body collapses, it will be a huge loss to the company, the family, and the entire society.
They have never been taken so seriously. They are very weak, cannot read a few Chinese characters, and have to give the foreman a commission on their wages, otherwise they will lose their jobs. But in the blink of an eye, they have become regular employees, and their work has become easier. Save a lot.
Later, a group of people were transferred to a new department called the Shipbuilding Department. The big boss interviewed them in person, and they could get at least double their salary there.
Everyone envies those who transferred there.
Xijiayuan is one of them.
I don’t know what he did, but he was unexpectedly promoted by the big boss and became the team leader. You must know that none of Xijiayuan’s masters became team leaders, and there were only five team leaders in the entire shipbuilding department.
Xijiayuan is so young, and her skills are not as experienced as those of a veteran. Could it be that the big boss likes young and good-looking people?
I don’t know how this brainwashing package spread, causing some young people in the shipyard to start paying attention to appearance. There are actually some people who come to work wearing white shirts, which is very outrageous.
After a while, they realized that it was because Xi Jiayuan could understand the drawings drawn by Lin Wei.
As a celebrity, Lin Wei's every move is watched by many people. Everyone wants to know what her next plan is and what field she wants to enter.
They felt that what Lin Wei was going to do must be very profitable.
So she got into the newspapers about a shipyard.
However, this shipyard did not make people really think about shipbuilding, and they all speculated on what its real purpose was until the first refitted container ship.
Everyone said "Ah" clearly, it turned out to be this.
This answer was unexpected to them, but there was nothing surprising about it. They thought Lin Wei was going to make another big move. Compared with the acquisition of Kowloon Aviation and the listing of the previous milk tea shop, this one was not "amazing" enough.
But Lin Wei's free advertisement was placed through newspapers.
The first person to find Lin Wei was Yuan Guodong.
He can carry out container modification by himself, but firstly, there are too many ships that need to be modified, and secondly, certain ship types are a bit troublesome.
So he came to see how the boat Lin Wei modified was doing.
After Lin Wei took him on board to look around, the two of them walked to the deck to chat.
"300 TEUs?" Yuan Guodong asked.
"438." Lin Wei said.
Lin Wei converted the largest tonnage into a container, and she plans to renovate the remaining ones.
At this time, no one is speaking out against her, and her focus will be on cultivating talents.
Yuan Guodong was really surprised. He smiled and said, "You actually know how to do it." When they were talking about ships before, he knew that Lin Wei was experienced in this area. He didn't expect that he could even modify ships. Can do it all.
"It's all fur." Lin Wei shook his head.
These are the most simple and easy-to-understand things. The real test of technology requires the support of professional talents, and a large number of professional talents.
The liquefied natural gas ship (LNG) she is targeting is the most difficult, requires the most sophisticated technology supported by numerous patents, and is the LNG shipbuilding technology with the highest added value.
The current situation is much more difficult than that of later generations. Wu Ming is right. There is no soil for shipbuilding here because the talents cannot keep up.
Without relevant colleges and majors, you can only cultivate yourself and start everything from scratch.
"Why do you think of doing this?" Yuan Guodong asked.
Yuan Guodong suspected that she wanted to get into shipping, which made him a little afraid. After all, Lin Wei looked like she was doing something, and she was likely to become his opponent. He already had many opponents.
"No money." Lin Wei told the truth.
Um?
Yuan Guodong looked at her, not understanding what she meant.
Lin Wei said: "There is no money to build ships, so we can only renovate old ships, train some talents first, and save some money at the same time."
Yuan Guodong reacted and then understood what she meant.
Then he looked at her in surprise: "Aren't you joking?"
Lin Wei looked at the blue sky connected to the sea in the distance: "I am born without a sense of humor, and my jokes don't seem to be very good. Does Mr. Yuan want to hear a joke? A joke?"
Yuan Guodong smiled and shook his head helplessly: "I would like to advise you to give up this idea."
He explained: "Japan has made the cost of shipbuilding very low, and European and American shipyards have been affected. How can you win against them?"
Lin Wei knew, and Lin Wei also knew that it would not be long before the United States began to support South Korea, and Japanese shipbuilding would slowly begin to be overtaken by South Korea.
The shameless guy in South Korea also teamed up with France to create a technology monopoly, threatening France with contracts and orders and not allowed to cooperate with China.
"Every industry is difficult to work in. You have to be at the top of the industry to be able to make a living. You can't stop doing it just because it's difficult."
Yuan Guodong felt that Lin Wei was too confident, even arrogant, and he thought about it. , said: "Shipbuilding is different. The threshold is too high. Technology, talent, and money. As you said, without money, this problem has already stumped most people."
Lin Wei started working on shipbuilding a long time ago The factory saved a small treasury. Before the milk tea shop changed hands, Lin Wei got a sum of money through dividends. Then Wen Jiayue helped hold the stocks on her behalf, and several million more were credited. In the end, the bulk was Hezi's dividends. Sheng Meijun's original share was small. Lin Wei received more than 30 million US dollars. In three years, Lin Lin had saved a total of 10 million US dollars, and now put it in the gold market. Lin Wei hoped to make a big fortune and let her buy a production line.
"Money can be saved slowly, and people must be cultivated slowly. Fortunately, I am not in a hurry." Lin Wei took the cloak handed over by the accompanying assistant. It was windy at the seaside, so she was a little thinly dressed today, "I just don't want to worry about it in the future." Mr. Yuan, please introduce a Japanese friend to me to buy a cheaper production line. "
A shipyard has to put together a production line first.
This money can only be saved slowly by relying on the initial capital of her small treasury plus the output of the shipyard.
Lin Wei calculated that the modification cost of a ship (excluding parts) is 200,000-500,000 yuan, and the construction period is 20 days to 2 months. It depends on the requirements of the other party and the complexity of the hull, whether it is a simple modification or a major modification. , as long as we don’t bring oil tankers over, it’ll be easy.
The five teams work together, plus the original disassembly business, and the monthly profit is more than 2 million.
How do you say this money?
Needless to say, compared with Hezi, this is a figure that even a milk tea shop cannot compare with.
It's only more than 20 million a year, which is less than Hezi's monthly income.
But in the eyes of senior executives, this is already considered a very good performance.
In a certain aspect, it is indeed a very impressive profit. After inflation is calculated, it is equivalent to hundreds of millions of yuan in future generations. How many companies can do it?
But it was still far from her goal.
Conventional methods will still have to wait a few years. Lin Wei's treasure is still in the gold market, hoping for a good result.
Seeing that Yuan Guodong could not be persuaded, he stopped continuing this topic.
"Song Ye worked for you before?"
Huh?
Lin Wei didn't expect Yuan Guodong to ask this.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Nothing." Yuan Guodong smiled and said, "I just think this young man is good. Why did he leave your place?"
Lin Wei didn't understand why Yuan Guodong asked this, and she thought about it in her heart. Then he said: "It is difficult for a capable person to work under others all the time. He is indeed good, but I have not been able to retain people here."
I am afraid that this is the only way to stand up, and it sounds more reasonable.
She still regarded Song Ye as a villain.
Hearing what Lin Wei said, Yuan Guodong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Ms. Lin is right. Geniuses, especially such powerful people, are indeed difficult to retain."
"Mr. Yuan, what do you think? Get up and ask him?" Lin Wei asked.
Yuan Guodong laughed twice and said: "It's nothing, I just had some cooperation recently. I will ask you when I think of it. I thought you were unhappy because of something."
Unpleasant?
For some reason, Lin Wei always felt that he had other intentions.
But I couldn’t guess what it was for a moment.
"There is nothing unpleasant. He is indeed very capable. However, after he left me, he rarely contacted me because he was too busy. How is he lately?" Lin Wei asked tentatively.
"He's pretty good. I've rarely seen a young man as calm and calm as him. He's very dignified and has the demeanor of a general. Among the young people I know, he's the only one besides you." Speaking of Song Ye , Yuan Guodong smiled and looked very satisfied.
Lin Wei became more and more confused.
Don't know what he means.
Wait for someone to leave.
She took off her cloak and gave it to the assistant.
The female assistant took it over and said to Lin Wei: "Although Mr. Yuan looks a bit fierce, he is a really nice person. When we were in the reception room just now, I almost spilled water on him, which scared me to death. As a result, Mr. Yuan Seeing that I was frightened, he comforted me and said that he didn’t have to be afraid even if he spilled it.
Lin Wei sat down and said with a smile, “Really? I feel like I’m pretty good too. "Why don't you praise me?"
"Of course Mr. Lin is fine," the assistant said sweetly, "Mr. Lin is the best, otherwise Mr. Yuan wouldn't like you so much. I think if he wants to have a son, he must want you to Mr. Lin, you will be his daughter-in-law."
Lin Wei smiled, then stopped her hands and looked at the assistant, with a frozen expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" The assistant thought he had said the wrong thing.
Lin Wei withdrew her gaze.
Could it be that Yuan Guodong fell in love with Song Ye?
No way.
But once this idea came to mind, it would never go away. Speaking of which, Song Ye was about the same age as Yuan Guodong's second daughter, Yuan Ruxin, and was a more suitable son-in-law candidate than Fu Wenfan.
Who is Yuan Guodong? That is the father-in-law that all men yearn for. When he has no son, he will not ask his son-in-law to marry him. He will treat his son-in-law as his own son, teach him by his side, and divide his property, which is comparable to that of the richest man, equally between his two sons-in-law.
This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing is what many men dream of. Plus Yuan Ruxin is still a little beauty, she is simply a winner in life.
Lin Wei was moved.
When Wu Ming came back, he saw Lin Wei in a daze, with a little bit of incomprehensible melancholy in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Wu Ming..."
"Huh?"
"What if I want you to be the son-in-law of the Ship King?"
Wu Ming: "..."
Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that he was in trouble.
