Chapter 177
In the autumn, Lin Wei went to Japan with Yuan Guodong.
With the money Fu Wenfan lost, he went to Japan to buy goods.
Fu Wenfan couldn't come up with 200 million at once, so he spent all his funds to buy land and mortgage some of his assets before he could collect more than 100 million to give Lin Wei.
But more than 100 million is enough for Lin Wei to spend like crazy in Japan.
Thin plate production lines, new cranes, ship generators, welding equipment, cutting machines, machining equipment, cables...
a set of various equipment, various basic parts wholesale, she bought dozens of cranes for a single production line , a total of seven ships were loaded and brought back.
It can only be said that the money is too much to spend now. She has not spent all the money after buying so much, leaving only half of it.
She also negotiated with several suppliers. As a shipyard that has never built a single new ship, she couldn't negotiate a good price, but fortunately she had channels.
When she comes to Japan again in the future, she will know where to find someone.
However, there are still some parts and equipment that need to be imported from Europe, mostly Australian steel.
Sun Muyin knew that she bought shipbuilding equipment and sneaked back from the United States overnight. She was already on vacation. The professor held her down and refused to let her come back, and even took away her ID once.
After she came back, she and other shipwrights assembled the production line with the Japanese experts who came over for guidance.
In the evening, I pestered Lin Wei to get the hull design drawings. I wanted to build a boat soon, but Lin Wei's focus now was to get a work manual.
Lin Wei's biggest inconvenience is that she doesn't have a computer now.
It's like going back to the primitive era. Without the precise control of computers, the efficiency of drawings and work manuals is really low.
It’s hard not to mention the functions of today’s computers.
Hezi's design drafts had already made her feel inconvenienced before, and then the real estate industry even more so. Now that it was shipbuilding's turn, this feeling was magnified hundreds of times.
If something went wrong in a small link, everyone would be sweating profusely to investigate one by one.
In order to improve efficiency, they must first create a work manual and standardize all processes.
Sun Muyin also holds meetings and studies together every day.
She now has high prestige in the shipyard.
Japanese experts heard that they were going to produce a work manual. They were very surprised. After all, the ship hadn't even been built yet?
Shouldn’t experience be learned through practice?
Do they know the steps of building a ship?
"The most important thing for safe operation is fire prevention. If someone smokes or uses an open flame in the production area, shipyard or any place where it is prohibited, he will be dismissed without a chance to defend himself."
"Cables need to be color-coded. Different cables need to be color-coded. The cables represent different functions, so as to facilitate technicians' troubleshooting..."
They have never actually built a ship, but their experience in renovating old ships is enough for them to accumulate a certain amount of experience.
Lin Wei relied on the experience of her previous life and tried her best to recall some details.
From troubleshooting sequences, to work safety operating standards and specifications, to the inspections and preparations that need to be done before launching into the water.
"There are also toxins released when steel plates are cut, so for everyone's safety, the use of protective gear must be regulated. The inorganic zinc silicate primer can reduce the release of toxins. After sandblasting, it is necessary to..."
Japanese expert After listening to the beginning, I found a place for myself and sat down in the back to listen.
Originally, he just wanted to watch the fun and didn't think these people could start up the shipyard and assemble the production line. He deliberately slowed down the progress. When he was in a good mood, he gave some guidance, and then let them figure it out on their own, planning to make up for the contract stipulations. It's time to go back.
But after contacting them, I found that although they had not built the ship, some of their concepts were even more advanced and standardized than theirs.
They even have wind speed measurement methods for offshore operations in strong winds.
Originally, in his opinion, the shipyard was too crude, with too many areas that needed improvement, and the staffing could not keep up. Many types of work were rushed to the shelves.
But I saw their training plan for welders and crane operators, spending heavily on foreign experts to provide guidance, and there is also a master-apprentice reward system.
He discovered that maybe those problems he thought before were not problems.
Only halfway through the meeting, he was attacked mentally and felt dizzy.
"There are many difficulties, but we must overcome them as soon as possible. Don't forget, our first five-year goal is to acquire Harland & Wolff Shipbuilding. We must not get stuck at this first step..."
Takahashi Takuto He felt that he might have heard wrongly. His Chinese was actually pretty good. He seemed to have just heard a name - Harland Wolf.
What did she just say?
Acquisition?
He must have heard wrong.
How is that possible?
But the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. Finally he couldn't hold it back and asked the person sitting next to him.
"Excuse me, did your boss just talk about Harland & Wolff Shipbuilding?"
The man glanced at Takahashi, thinking of the difficulties he had received in recent days, and said "hmm" in a nonchalant manner, feeling very impatient. .
Takahashi thought he might not have made it clear, so he continued to confirm with him: "She was talking about the shipyard that built the Titanic?"
That Harland who built six aircraft carriers and could also build aircraft and tanks?
The other party said angrily: "Otherwise, there is another shipyard with this name?"
Takahashi Takuto opened his mouth, extremely shocked. Why didn't this ship even be built?
Just thinking about acquiring such a big shipyard.
Isn't this a joke?
Harland is a century-old shipyard that has experienced the baptism of World War I and World War II. Even though it is not as good as before, it still built Britain's first supertanker Myrina a few years ago.
What does it mean that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse? Even if the military is converted into business, that person also has a military background, and the British government will definitely not agree.
What a child's play.
What do you think?
Takahashi Takuto suddenly felt that he had joined a brainwashing organization, otherwise why would no one here show surprise?
Why doesn't anyone object?
"Mr. Takahashi, I don't know if you have any suggestions. Why don't you give us some suggestions?" Lin Wei looked behind her and specifically used Japanese.
It’s been a long time since she read Japanese comics, and she’s almost getting rusty.
When she came to Hong Kong City, she never had the opportunity to use this talent of hers. This trip to Japan gave her the opportunity to use it. Yuan Guodong was very surprised at the time, and he even sighed when he later learned that she could speak Korean.
If Lin Wei is interested, she will learn faster. French is the slowest thing for her to learn. Because there is no entertainment appeal, she can only communicate to the extent so far. There is a wall between her and the geniuses at home, so she can only rely on Diligence makes up for it.
Takahashi Takuto stood up when he heard this, bowed quickly and said that he didn't dare to take it seriously.
Xi Jiayuan on the side gave him a cold look. This little Japanese looked very polite, nodding and bowing, talking happily. But if you asked him more, he would just pretend to be a professional worker in this link. Responsible, their technical staff are only responsible for verification and debugging.
It would be better if Sun Muyin came back and could cure his bad habits.
Sun Muyin looked like a muscle, but she could poke at the door of people with precision, leaving the Japanese expert speechless.
Lin Wei did not let go of the Japanese expert: "Mr. Takahashi took the initiative to attend our internal high-level meeting. Naturally, I cannot treat you as a spy. I can only classify you as a member of our Xinbai, so Mr. Takahashi , you should provide us with some useful suggestions, right?"
Takahashi wiped his sweat, don't the doors of your high-density meetings be closed?
Faced with the scrutinizing eyes of the people around him, he was unable to get off the horse, so he had to make a mental draft, pick up some problems he had noticed recently, and put forward some constructive suggestions.
Lin Wei sighed: "Sure enough, Mr. Gaoqiao, he can get to the point as soon as he opens his mouth. Mr. Ito is so lucky to have a master with such profound knowledge and solid skills like you as the helmsman."
These words made Gao Qiao feel very happy . It's not about the taste. His boss has sold the production line, so why does he want to talk about happiness? Originally, their shipyard was very profitable, but because of a mistake that delayed orders and cost the shipowner a lot of money, the boss became discouraged and felt that the risk was too great, so he decided to sell the shipyard despite his dissuasion.
If Ito could be like the woman in front of him...
Harland & Wolff Shipyard, although it is not that reliable, at least this woman dares to think.
After starting this, Lin Wei and the others brought Takahashi over as soon as they had a meeting. Once a person has certain skills and experience, he wants to be able to hold back his words when others are ignorant or "talk nonsense". It is also very difficult not to show off.
No one can figure out when Mr. Gaucho started to speak the loudest and find the most faults in meetings.
So in the end, everyone was not too surprised that Takahashi stayed and never returned to Japan.
...
"Mr. Zeng, with all due respect, your boat is too old and has no value for renovation. Why don't you just buy a new boat and use it for thirty or fifty years? Isn't it better than going to a repair shop all the time? Besides, we have a good location." The advantage is that you don’t have to go abroad for repairs in the future. I will extend the warranty of the new ship to two years and give you a 20% discount on the first order."
Zeng Zhifeng stood at the mouth of the river and looked at Lin Wei blankly, his mind full. It's all about the 20% discount she said...
Is she used to selling clothes? Why does she look so unreliable?
He heard that Lin Wei's old boats were well refurbished, so the boat was brought over. Unexpectedly, the other party actually directly sold him a new boat.
After saying that, Lin Wei handed him a leaflet-like information, which contained the prices of cargo ships of different tonnages, and it was also bolded and enlarged.
She really sells ships as clothes.
"The construction period of the bulk carrier is only one and a half years. We all abide by international standards to serve our customers..."
When Chen Hengxi came to find him, he saw this scene. The woman was holding information and enthusiastically working with Zeng Zhifeng, who was over fifty years old. Explain that from time to time, you will tuck the stray hair behind your ears.
When she was working, she didn't pay much attention to her image. She was eloquent and danced.
But the effect is not that good.
Zeng □□ said with complicated emotions: "Have you ever thought about Miss Lin that if shipbuilding was profitable, everyone would have already swarmed into it, and there is no way they can wait until now. There has never been a shortage of discerning businessmen in Xiangjiang."
Lin Wei stopped . , the expression on her face became a little more solemn, she said: "There must be the first person to eat the crab. You are right. The business I discussed with you is to make money at a loss. In order to create a good future for myself, Fame, but how can you know if you haven’t tried it? Xiangjiang has always been lacking in industry, which makes it unable to protect itself in the international situation. Whether it is an oil crisis or a financial crisis, we are far behind Taiwan’s steady approach. ."
The woman's clear voice was steady and neat: "I hope I have made a good start and can lead Xiangjiang to a brighter future, but if it fails, I will be responsible for it myself. If you think about it this way, doesn't it feel like this? Is it worth fighting for?"
The calm tone of the question contained a hint of fullness and hope. The emotions were delicate and the eyes were sincere, making people unable to help but feel a little moved.
Zeng was stunned for a while. He took Lin Wei's information, smiled, and said, "Miss Lin's courage is worth supporting."
Lin Wei breathed a long sigh of relief. , hurriedly said: "Don't worry, if it doesn't meet the standards or fails to be delivered on time, we will compensate for the losses according to the contract."
This is not the first time she has promoted sales to the ship owner, but she has not been able to open the business.
Japanese boats are cheap and good, and are well recognized internationally. Why should people buy yours?
So her sales pitch is extremely difficult, but as long as she takes the first step, slowly, she will succeed.
No matter whether she is engaged in real estate or stock trading, she will not have much sense of accomplishment. As a prophet, buy low and sell high. With primitive accumulation, anyone can get started.
When you are reborn, you must do something different based on this.
Whether it's Hezi or shipbuilding, challenging fields she has never ventured into and industries she has failed in will allow her to realize her own value to the maximum extent.
Lin Wei was very enthusiastic and kept sending Zeng Zhifeng out of the factory gate.
"I sometimes wonder if I have met too few people. I have never seen a woman like you."
Lin Wei withdrew her gaze from a distance, took the documents that needed to be signed from the secretary, and said: " So you have to pray that you live longer, and then you will get used to it."
Chen Hengxi walked back with her: "You are right, now we are monogamous. Compared with before, Women’s status is much higher than before, and now they have to catch up with men.”
He had thought that Lin Wei would attack him because of the matter at the old post office, but she didn't even ask about it, as if she didn't take it seriously at all.
Lin Wei stopped and looked at him, confused at all. The status of women in later generations has not caught up with men. They have always been discriminated against at work. Why does he now feel that the status of women has surpassed that of men?
Is it because Xiangjiang abolished the concubine system not long ago and implemented monogamy?
Sure enough, there is no such thing as empathy.
"What's the matter with you?" Lin Wei asked.
Chen Hengxi put one hand in his pocket. He was wearing a white suit and a printed shirt today. He looked like a rich and elegant man: "It's not business, I'm looking for a meal, and I found a new restaurant. "
He learned the term "rice plate" from Lin Wei. She is very good at eating. You can know the approximate ingredients after one taste. Although she is picky sometimes, it can be seen that she enjoys food and is willing to try it. It was fun to eat together. Chen Hengxi asked people to find good restaurants for him just because he wanted to eat with Lin Wei.
"Not today." Lin Wei signed the document and handed it back to the secretary.
"Don't you even have time to eat?" Chen Hengxi stopped.
He knew that Lin Wei was very busy, so he always made appointments for meals. Lin Wei never messed around with meals, and she hired chefs in her company's canteen.
In her words, the work is already very hard, and she needs delicious food as a reward to be more motivated. She must not wrong herself in this regard.
Perhaps it was because he was so satisfied every time he ate, and he thought of Lin Wei's feeling very similar to delicious food, and he had an indescribable sense of wonderful anticipation.
He didn't feel this way when eating with others, his stomach was grabbed in disguise.
"Today..."
Several dogs barked suddenly from behind.
Hearing the sound and looking, a strange-looking big yellow dog appeared at the gate of the factory.
Then Chen Hengxi saw a man he least wanted to see at this time.
The young man was holding a dog, wearing a simple white shirt and trousers, with a slim waist and slender legs. He also wore a pair of silver thin-rimmed glasses today. He looked even more handsome and elegant, with a pure temperament like water. , and the glasses gave him a bit more of a fascinating sense of mystery.
Chen Hengxi swore that if Song Ye didn't have some tricks in his outfit, he would just jump off the river mouth.
Not long after, a man and a dog walked up to them.
Lin Wei lowered her body and greeted the dog first: "Whose dog looks so powerful?"
The big dog swung its tail in excitement and stamped its two front paws anxiously twice. It was not affected by the power of its owner. Dare to pounce forward.
"So good," Lin Wei asked, "Can I touch it?"
After a few seconds of silence, she heard Song Ye's answer from above her head: "Where do you want to touch?"
Huh?
Chen Hengxi looked at Song Ye, is there something wrong with this man?
Lin Wei had already stretched out her hand: "Shake hands, do you know how to shake hands?"
As a result, the dog whined twice, turned around twice in a hurry, and rubbed Song Ye's trouser legs.
Lin Wei was a little disappointed. It couldn't be possible. He was quite smart when he was a child, but Song Ye was made stupid.
As a result, a beautiful and slender hand stretched out in front of her.
The white fingertips, slender and boney, are as beautiful as works of art.
ha?
Chen Hengxi sneered heavily, feeling angry in his heart. He had never seen such a shameless person.
