In Guo Tianyu's view, this news is more of a joke. China's shipbuilding industry does have a long history, which can be traced back to the Warring States period. It is recorded in the history book "Zuo Zhuan": "Xia, Chu

He became a naval commander to defeat Wu." This incident occurred more than 500 years ago and is the earliest water battle recorded in Chinese history books. Even sea-going ships can be traced back to at least the Han Dynasty, when there were already

During the Three Kingdoms period, the State of Wu even sent troops to Taiwan and completely incorporated it into its ruled area.

It can be said that for thousands of years, China's shipbuilding industry has been at the forefront of the times, creating a series of various ship types suitable for different waters, especially the ships used by Zheng He on his voyages to the West.

It was the best in the world at that time! However, in modern times, China's shipbuilding industry has lagged far behind the world's shipbuilding industry. In the early 1980s, China's shipbuilding industry was still mainly building ships for inland shipping, and ocean ships

That's a lot less. After entering the 1990s, China's shipbuilding industry has developed rapidly. However, compared with the world's shipbuilding industry, the total tonnage of ships built per year may have been greatly improved.

However, large-scale shipbuilding with high added value is currently the biggest shortcoming of China's shipbuilding industry!

Fang Mingyuan did not think like Guo Tianyu that the domestic shipyards were messing around and trying to please the public. Sisters Lin Rong and Lin Lian were responsible for collecting this information. He had just seen this piece of news today. However,

This piece of news brought back some memories of his previous life. With the information at hand, he restored the development history of the modern shipbuilding industry in the world in his previous life.

Because Americans believed that manufacturing commercial ships had no economic benefits, after World War II, the civilian shipbuilding industry in the United States began to shift to Europe. In the 1950s and 1960s, as labor costs rose in Europe, the shipbuilding industry base began to shift away from Western Europe.

Japan, after Japan became the world's largest shipbuilding country, the shipbuilding industry base began to shift to South Korea. Now South Korea has surpassed Japan to become the world's largest shipbuilding country. At the same time, China's shipbuilding industry is also rising at the same time. And if we talk about history

If there are no deviations, China's shipbuilding industry may reach the top in the first ten years of the next century. Therefore, Fang Mingyuan thinks that the domestic shipbuilding industry group company will build three 300,000-ton ships for the Iranian National Shipping Group Company.

The news about the supertanker is very likely to be true. And even if it is not true, then this news is very promising when Guo Tianyu is negotiating with Japanese and Korean shipbuilding companies!

"Uncle Guo, I am in contact with the country. Send someone to verify this matter!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "It is not necessarily without reason. Judging from the trend of the transfer of the world's shipbuilding industry, the transfer of the shipbuilding industry always starts from the industrialized countries first.

Transfer to industrialized countries; transfer from countries with high labor costs to countries with low labor costs. The country has comprehensive advantages such as a good industrial foundation and low labor costs. Since 1995, it has been the third largest country in the shipbuilding industry in the world... If this matter is

If it’s true, then it’s also a good thing for Guo’s Shipping Group Company. Having one more choice will give us more confidence. Don’t you think so?”

Guo Tianyu was a little dissatisfied, but he had to admit that what Fang Mingyuan said was indeed reasonable. If China's shipbuilding industry can indeed build super tankers, then at least in terms of cost, it will definitely be lower than that of Japan and South Korea.

Shipbuilding companies, for each supertanker costing more than 100 million US dollars, even if the cost is only reduced by 5%, it is a considerable expense! What's more, if China's shipyards really

If it can be built, the cost savings will be more than 5%!

Benji Sato, the president of Nippon Feldsake Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. is a short, fat middle-aged man in his fifties. He seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but he is the fourth largest shipbuilding company in the world in terms of annual shipbuilding tonnage.

The person in charge. Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. was founded in the 1930s, but it has achieved remarkable results in the past ten years. They have made breakthroughs in the technology of building supertankers. In just a dozen years,

Over time, it has become a world-renowned shipbuilding company. As of today, Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has built forty-one supertankers, and there are still three more under construction.

But Benji Sato has now realized the old saying of the Chinese people - if you don't think long-term, you will have immediate worries! If nothing unexpected happens to these three supertankers of Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., by the year 2000

It will be completed one after another before June! But the problem is that Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has no new supertanker orders! The sudden rise of the Korean shipbuilding industry has taken advantage of the low labor cost to steal from the Japanese shipbuilding industry.

With a large number of orders, especially after the production technology of super tankers was obtained by the Koreans, Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has been at a disadvantage in the competition for new orders. The world economy has stagnated since the outbreak of the Southeast Asian crisis, and even more so.

To make the situation of Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. even worse, the original orders for two supertankers were also canceled by the buyer.

Although the workers in today's shipyard are still working enthusiastically, Benji Sato's heart is as cold as the Antarctic continent covered with ice and snow all year round - after the completion of the three supertankers, if the company can't

Finding new customers means that the workers will have nothing to do, and the company has to bear huge expenses. In Japan, it is extremely troublesome for companies to lay off workers! But without orders, the company has to pay

These workers may be fine for a short period of time, but over time, they will go bankrupt!

"President, this is what you want!" The secretary walked in softly and put a document on his desk, "Also, Mr. Guo, the president of Guo Shipping Group Company, has arrived in Tokyo. Now

Staying in a high-end villa in Tokyo Bay. Our appointment with him is for 9:30 tomorrow morning."

"A high-end villa in Tokyo Bay? How did he go there?" Benji Sato frowned and said, "Didn't we send someone to pick him up? Didn't we ask you to arrange the best hotel in Tokyo for him?"

It was previously reported that Guo's Shipping Group Company intends to purchase a batch of super tankers to join their tanker fleet, and Guo Tianyu's arrival is to inspect the shipbuilding capabilities of Feldspar Co., Ltd.! This is very important for Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.

It is like providing help in times of need! Therefore, from the very beginning, Benji Sato paid the highest degree of attention!

And even if it were not the case, Guo's Shipping Group has now become one of the top shipping groups in the Asia-Pacific region. Almost seven or eight ships enter the fleet every year, and most of them are new ships.

.For such a large customer, Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. naturally does not dare to be negligent! Although they are the fourth largest shipbuilding company in the world, their comprehensive strength in Japan is far inferior to that of other companies.

shipbuilding company.

The reason is actually very simple. Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has no backing and backing in Japan! Like Mitsui Shipbuilding and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, behind them are Japanese chaebols! The world economy is in recession, and there are fewer overseas orders? It doesn’t matter, chaebols.

Internal orders are enough for these shipbuilding companies to survive this period. Waiting for the improvement of the world economy and the recovery of the shipping industry, the shipbuilding industry will naturally usher in a beautiful spring! They will definitely be able to survive it, Benji Sato

I don’t know if Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., which has developed too fast in recent years and has made its business too big, can survive this time. If it cannot survive, what it will face is the acquisition of other domestic shipbuilding companies in Japan! This is

A result that Benji Sato cannot accept!

"President, we have indeed arranged for President Guo to occupy the best hotel in Tokyo, and also sent people to pick him up at the airport. However, there was another group of people present at the time, and Mr. Guo asked his entourage to follow him.

Our pick-up person checked into the hotel, but he and his secretary got into each other's car. Our people couldn't disobey President Guo's opinion, so we had to follow them secretly and saw their car entering a stretch of Tokyo Bay.

A high-end villa." The secretary bowed his head and said.

Benji Sato rubbed his half-bald head. In the high-end villas near Tokyo Bay, the people living there are either rich or noble, and there are not only Japanese, but also many foreign wealthy people's mansions. The security measures there are very strict.

Perfect, if Guo Tianyu finds out that someone is following him, that would be bad!

"Who owns that high-end villa?" Benji Sato returned to his desk and sat down.

"Masou-kun is inquiring there! I believe there will be news back soon." The secretary secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These days, Benji Sato has a very violent temper. He often scolds people around him for trivial matters.

It’s so bloody!

Benji Sato casually picked up the information on the table and read only a few lines. A strange look suddenly appeared on his originally smiling face. Couldn't Hyundai Heavy Industry Shipbuilding understand that once it interacts with China's domestic

If shipbuilding companies cooperate to build supertankers, will the construction technology be learned by Chinese shipbuilding companies? Isn’t this how the Koreans learned it from Japanese shipbuilding companies back then! These Korean stickmen are not worried that the Chinese will copy what they have done in the future.

Do they have enough space to give themselves a try? Or do these stick guys have enough confidence to retain their core technologies during the cooperation process?

Isn’t that nonsense!...)
