Wan Feng respectfully poured tea and handed cigarettes to Zhu Guoxiong.
Cha Zhu Guoxiong accepted it, but refused the cigarette: "I have already quit smoking."
"It's good that you quit smoking. It's time to quit long ago. Grandpa! What's the matter that brought you here in such a hurry?"
Zhu Guoxiong acted like a mischievous old boy: "Guess?"
The old man still has a childlike heart again.
"Let's take a look at Gu Hongzhong's so-called joint system?"
"That's just one aspect, not the main one."
Isn't the matter with Gu Hongzhong the main issue?
"Look at those big trucks? Two of them will be delivered by the end of the year, and all of them will be delivered by next summer."
These trucks cannot be produced on a production line and can only be built by hand, so the progress will naturally not be very fast.
It would be good if we could build two in a month.
“That’s not the main point.”
This is not the main thing? That's strange. If this is not the main thing, then what is the main thing?
"Oh right! Grandpa! Why are you putting it aside? Let me ask you why you're selling so many dump trucks? Are you planning to use them as rocket launchers?"
Zhu Guoxiong rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you that? You can even guess that?"
How can this guy guess everything?
"Ah! That can't be true? Our dump trucks are for civilian use. Using them to pull rocket launchers is not very suitable."
The manufacturing standards for civilian vehicles and military vehicles are not the same.
"Haha! You're quite thoughtful, kid. We did buy those dump trucks to use as construction vehicles, but at first we actually discussed using them as rocket launcher carriers."
"Didn't I tell you? We don't make anything below six axes. We'll leave that to others."
Wan Feng is not a person who refuses to make money, but he also has no idea of monopoly. Military vehicles have countless strange uses, and Nanwan Group cannot take on everything. What should be given to others must be given to others, and they just need to concentrate on making large vehicles.
"We've done some research and you're the only company in China that can produce large, specialized vehicles. Vehicles with more than five axles are yours to make, while vehicles with less than five axles will be made by Wanshan."
In the previous life, Wanshan launched the cart after 1999, and in this life, Nanwan was four years ahead of them.
As for Tai'an, there seems to be no news yet.
Zhu Guoxiong’s main reason for coming here is not Gu Hongzhong, nor is the big truck. So what on earth is he here for?
"Put aside what I'm here for now. I just said that vehicles with more than five axles are also yours to make. We need twenty five-axle trucks, so you need to speed up your research."
After the successful development of the six-axle truck, it is no problem to go from five-axle to seven-axle, except that the eight-axle truck cannot be produced for the time being.
Just slightly modify the drawings, the technology is already available.
It is an eight-axle vehicle. Even if it does not have an eight-axle linkage, it can be built. Six plus two or seven plus one can be made, but it is still a bit lacking to build an eight-axle linkage.
However, China will not need an eight-axle linkage for the time being. Wan Feng remembered that the eight-axle linkage truck appeared on the legendary Dongfeng 41, but he had never seen the actual use of the eight-axle linkage vehicle.
Wan Feng wrote down twenty five-axle trucks in a small notebook.
"Any specific requests?"
Zhu Guoxiong's guard handed a parameter design drawing to Wan Feng.
Wan Feng took a quick look and saw that it was a design with three axles at the back and two axles at the front. Wan Feng recalled that the Dongfeng 21D seemed to have this design.
Could it be that China already has the Dongfeng 21D? This is impossible!
He packed up carefully and then looked at Zhu Guoxiong without saying a word.
The old man is keeping me in suspense. I won’t ask you this time. I don’t believe you can hold it in. I’ll hold it in to death!
You won't be able to hold it in for a while.
Sure enough, Zhu Guoxiong was a little restless.
"Why don't you guess?"
"I can't guess. That's just how I am. If I can't guess, it's not a waste of effort. You can say it or not. If you don't say it, just keep it in your stomach."
"Little bastard! You've got a pretty good grasp of my temper. Let me give you a tip. It's something very important."
"Don't bluff me. There are so many important things to do. I think every one of them is important. You want me to filter them all? I'll have to wait until next year."
“It’s something to do with water.”
Something to do with water? That would be a submarine, but I have nothing to do with submarines. Could it be an aircraft carrier?
"Is it the big ship?"
"You guessed it right. Congratulations, plus ten points."
This old fox thinks this is a quiz.
"So the big ship has arrived home?" Wan Feng became excited.
It shouldn’t be that soon. If it arrives home now, it would be a month or two earlier.
"After passing Malacca, we are already near the Wan'an Beach."
Wan'an Beach? Wan Feng wondered where it was, and he remembered it was the stretch of water at the southwestern end of the Nansha Islands.
Have we reached Wan'an Beach? Wan Feng calculated that it was still about 2,000 to 2,500 kilometers from Wan'an Beach to Bohai Sea.
The tugboat towed the aircraft carrier at a speed of about five or six knots, which is about ten kilometers per hour.
Even if we run non-stop at this speed, it will take 20 days, which means we will arrive at the beginning of next month.
"We've already dispatched a tugboat, working day and night. We'll be home in about half a month. Xiao Wan! No matter what, you've done a great job this time."
"Give me money?"
Wan Feng said something that ruined the mood and made Zhu Guoxiong roll his eyes.
Zhu Guoxiong slammed the table and said, "Can you raise your ideological awareness a little bit? You think about money all day long."
"I'm a businessman. What else can I think about if not money?"
"Hmph! A rotten tree can't be carved. How much did you spend on this boat? Now tell me the total."
"What's the point of me telling you now? You're all by yourself, and there's not even a third person present. It's useless for me to say anything."
"At least I have an idea in my mind, right?"
"Yes, I spent a billion on this ship. Can you believe it? And it's all in US dollars."
In the previous life, when this ship arrived home, China spent more than 1 billion US dollars, including 1 billion for insurance, and the rocket artillery technology that was taken away by others. In addition to the various expenses for purchasing and renting the ship, it is estimated that 1.2 billion to 1.3 billion was spent.
"Are you ready to ask for too much?"
"Hey! No one would think it's too much money. Don't worry, we can talk about it after the boat arrives home. Don't worry! I won't ask for more."
"That's more like it."
After finishing these words, it was already noon.
After dinner, Zhu Guoxiong wanted to see Gu Hongzhong’s research results.
Wan Feng felt it was inconvenient for him to just stand by and watch, so he arranged for someone to send Zhu Guoxiong to Huaguang Technology, and he found an excuse to leave.
I went back to the office and thought about it while drinking tea.
This big ship will require thousands of supporting enterprises. What will Nanwan Group do?
After much thought, Wan Feng decided that he could only contribute to the supply of electronic semiconductor components. As for mechanical processing, he decided not to get involved.
Nanwan Group has no plans to build ships, so it’s better to let others do these shares.
