Chapter 5 Bright Stars in Shipbuilding Industry

Before going to bed, Zhou Wenhua decided to go and see the Chinese Shipyard in this era the next day, and its founder Yang Junsheng.

This is an expert who is dedicated to studying ships and innovating technology. He is also an industrial talent who is not good at operating, generous and lacks the heart of prevention.

It was a brilliant star in the shipbuilding industry in the Republic of China era, and the China-China Shipyard was founded by him.

Of course, in addition to looking at this industrialist, he also plans to see if there is any opportunity to cooperate with the other party to build ships and ships.

Because Zhou Wenhua knew very well how powerful this founder of the industry was.

The shipbuilding factory he built one by one, but from the time he built the factory in 1926 to the 1980s, more than a thousand ships of various types had been built.

It can not only manufacture various large and medium-sized surface ships, running-in ships, even 20,000 tons, as well as far-sea and offshore freighters below them; it can also manufacture various engineering ships, strengthened horsepower tugboats, dredgers, oil exploration platforms, etc.

In addition to planning to visit the boss of this Chinese shipbuilding factory,

Zhou Wenhua also plans to visit Ye Zaifu, a very famous ship designer in the Republic of China era.

This person is also called Ye Zaifu's era in the ship design industry during the Republic of China.

He served as chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute from 1917 to 1937.

And his resume is also very good.

In 1912, he was admitted to the Shipbuilding Department of the University of Glasgow, England.

In 1914, it was sent to the United States to supervise the ships built by China in the United States.

In 1915, he studied warship design and manufacturing at the MIT Institute of America and received his master's degree in naval engineering in 1917.

After returning to China, he worked at Jiangnan Shipyard. Since 1927, he served as chief engineer and director of shipbuilding department, creating a new situation where the power of production is controlled by the Chinese.

In 1943, he served as a professor at Chongqing Jiaotong University and the director of the shipbuilding department.

He designed more than 500 ships, especially the design of Chuanjiang Ship is the best at designing it.

He devoted his life to the cultivation of ship design and shipbuilding technical talents, and cultivated batches of elite talents for the domestic shipbuilding industry.

It is also because he has such a good character that Zhou Wenhua also wants to meet him and learn about shipbuilding techniques.

After deciding to visit these two celebrities in the shipbuilding industry,

Zhou Wenhua didn't mind either, so he also visited his father's friend Chen Ziting in the shipbuilding factory.

Anyway, he and Ye Zaifu, the chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute, are also in the same shipbuilding station, so it is very convenient to visit.

In addition to these visits,

Zhou Wenhua also planned to ask the butler Liu Xing to recruit a group of strong and obedient young people for him to train his security team after dawn, and to find out where there are weapons and equipment for sale.

After getting these things done,

Zhou Wenhua also stopped studying and went to bed.

Soon, he fell asleep.

This is the third day he traveled to the Republic of China era.

During this period of the Republic of China, due to internal turmoil and external troubles, the shipbuilding industry in Songhu, except for the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Station jointly operated by the military and capital, other shipbuilding factories such as the British Union, Mole, Donghua, Qiuxin, etc., were all in the hands of merchants such as Britain, France, the United States, and Japan.

As for the other domestic shipbuilding factories, they can only set up some small shipyards, mainly for demolition and repair, and cannot compete with foreign and foreign merchants.

Even the more famous ship companies in Songhu, such as Datong, Dada, Minsheng, Sanbei, and Chongming, cannot be compared with the shipbuilding technology of foreigners.

Even the Japanese army's shipbuilding technology must be ahead of them.

It is also because of this that before Zhou Wenhua fell asleep, he also hoped that he could make a contribution to the domestic shipbuilding industry in the Republic of China.

Especially after the outbreak of the First Battle of Songhu in 1932,

Greater China Shipbuilding Machinery Factory was once occupied by the Japanese army.

However, before the war, it was about to receive an order from the Navy Department of the National Army and needed to build the "Yangtze River" gunboat.

However, at this time, Yang Junsheng had just rented a wasteland on Fuxing Island through the relationship between Song Ziliang, the director of Songhubinpu Bureau. He also recruited more than 100 people to reclaim the factory.

The shipyard is also under construction, and the project is just in the first few days.

Because before, his three-year contract for renting a factory in the foreign concession had expired,

He wanted to renew his lease, but he was explicitly prohibited by Japan, Britain and France from installing ship docks within the jurisdiction of their foreign concessions.

Therefore, Yang Junsheng could only relocate his shipyard to Fuxing Island in Songhu for rebuilding.

The next day, after dawn,

Zhou Wenhua first went to see his father and after giving him some condolences,

Just start having breakfast,

He cooked the breakfast himself because he felt that his cooking skills were even better than those cooked by the chefs and workers he hired, so he cooked in person.

In this regard, his chefs and workers were able to cook breakfast for his father's wives and the housekeepers.

After breakfast,

Zhou Wenhua also asked someone to take some current affairs newspapers published this morning to read them.

After learning about what has happened in the last few days,

It was only then that the butler Liu Xing had arranged the matter between Yang Junsheng, the founder of China Shipyard, whom he wanted to visit, Ye Zaifu, the chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipyard, and Chen Ziting, his father's friend.

Before visiting, you must first obtain the other party’s consent.

Fortunately, the relationship between Chen Ziting and Ye Zaifu, chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute, is quite good, and is familiar with it, so soon the housekeeper Liu Xing made an appointment with Ye Zaifu, chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute, through Chen Ziting.

As for Yang Junsheng, the founder of Zhonghua Shipyard, since Zhou Wenhua asked the butler Liu Xing to make an appointment in the name of cooperating shipbuilding, Yang Junsheng, who lacked new orders, quickly made an appointment for the meeting on that day.

Then, the butler Liu Xing continued to recruit soldiers and build a security team as Zhou Wenhua's instructions.

After the arrangement is made,

Under the protection of two bodyguards, Zhou Wenhua took his father's black Mercedes-Benz and headed towards Fuxing Island in Songhu to visit Yang Junsheng, the founder of China Shipyard.

At this time, Yang Junsheng was also busy commanding his workers and building a shipyard.

It's a mess of busyness,

But after a while of busyness,

He also looked at the watch on his hand.

Because he was also curious about what Zhou Wenhua came from and whether he was really willing to place an order to build a ship when he made an appointment with him.

In fact, when he received a call from the butler Liu Xing,

He was also very shocked.

He clearly remembered that no one knew the number of the temporary phone number of his new shipbuilding factory except Song Ziliang, the director of Songhubinpu Bureau, and a few close friends and relatives, as well as his own workers.

So for Zhou Wenhua to find his new phone number so easily and ask the housekeeper to call him to meet him, he could also feel that the family background of Zhou Wenhua’s family, where Zhou Wenhua is located, is not simple.

So he still attaches great importance to his first meeting with Zhou Wenhua.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou should be about to arrive here!"

"We have to treat him well, maybe there will be a big order for me!"

After Yang Junsheng finished reading the time, he muttered a few words.

Then, he also put down his work and allowed the workers under him to continue to be busy.

And he began to prepare for the reception of Zhou Wenhua, as well as the meals and places to be received.
