Chapter 103 Kobe Steel

   "Xiao Ling, we are so lucky. This Santana was delivered to us in the middle of the night last night." Qin Tao touched the steering wheel and said to Zhao Ling excitedly.

   Zhao Ling on the co-pilot glanced at Qin Tao: "I heard that your shipyard almost went bankrupt last summer, and the current results are all thanks to you, a college student."

   "Of course." Qin Tao said: "Without me, the factory would have gone bankrupt, so I bought this Santana first, and the old man has no temper."

   "Yes, you have always been the most courageous, so you are not afraid of being reported?"

   "Cut, people who are incompetent will be jealous. If you want to report it, you can report it. We are not afraid." Qin Tao said.

  He is still really not afraid, because he knows the future development direction of the country, and this kind of operation is normal. If someone finds him unhappy, then he doesn't mind contracting out the shipyard, and he has the final say.

   As he spoke, Qin Tao changed gears and the car continued to accelerate. He touched the steering wheel and was in a very good mood.

  Owning Santana, he is not afraid to travel all over the world. In the future, this car will accompany him to travel all over the world, and go out to discuss business. He can’t continue to drive that Kamaz, right?

   "Brother Tao, you are a fashionista of this era." Zhao Ling said with emotion.

   "Well, I like to hear this sentence, Xiaoling. From now on, when other people are present, you still call me Qin Gong. When no one is around, you call me Brother Tao. Qin Gong always seems to be a bit out of place."

   "Hmph, are you also afraid of being separated? So why haven't you contacted me for so long?" Zhao Ling's face drooped.

   "Oh, I am a toad, how dare I eat swan meat." Qin Tao sighed from the bottom of his heart.

  Pfft, Zhao Ling laughed, she was not angry a long time ago, she just wanted an answer from Qin Tao, now, the answer was the same as she guessed, how could she be really angry.

  At noon, Santana drove into the Huating Shipyard. Qin Tao pressed the horn a few times, stretched out his head, and said to the old man at the gate: "Uncle Zhao, it's me!"

   "Doesn't this need to be registered?" Zhao Ling became curious.

   "This is the role of Santana. It is not only a car, but also a symbol of identity and status." Qin Tao said.

Although Santana is less than 200,000 yuan, you must know that the current average monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan. According to this ratio, Santana is the first-class existence of Maybach and Rolls-Royce in later generations. Therefore, driving Santana, He is respected all over the world. In addition, he brushed his face again and called out the name of the gatekeeper.

   "Hey, why did you drive towards the berth without asking?" Zhao Ling continued to be curious.

What Qin Tao was looking for was Cong Ju. After all, the relationship with Cong Ju was already very good. Zhao Ling already knew Cong Ju's identity and would not be jealous. However, Qin Tao drove directly to the berth without asking. Zhao Ling was surprised.

"Sister Cong Ju hasn't heard from her all this time, which means that the shipyard must have received a key project and is fighting day and night on the berth. Let's look for it directly from the berth." Qin Tao said, looking at the berth under construction over there: "Look at this, the displacement exceeds 100,000 tons!"

  Santana stopped next to the giant wheel under construction, and immediately showed how small Santana was. Qin Tao got off the car, stood there, and looked up at the tall ship. When he came last time, there was no ship here. Now, the hull has been basically welded out. The speed of the shipyard is really fast enough!

   "Director Wang!" Qin Tao saw several people coming from the shipyard office, and immediately greeted them.

   "Huh, Qin Gong? Why are you here?"

"Director Wang, our shipyard has received an order from the navy. The navy wants to try to use aluminum alloy to build the superstructure, which involves the welding of steel and aluminum. Therefore, we want to come here to hire a master welder Come and help." Qin Tao explained his purpose.

  Factory Manager Wang showed a troubled look on his face: "Gong Qin, since it is a request from the navy, we should fully support it, but now, we also..."

   "What's wrong?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

"Originally, although the construction period of this ship was tight, there was no problem. However, on the hull we had welded, some steel plates had pits, which caused us to have to rework. Alas, this ship has been built for half a lifetime. This is the first time for us to cut out flesh and mend sores!" Speaking of this matter, Director Wang was very distressed.

  The steel plate has been welded, but pitting has appeared, which exceeds the requirements of Lloyd's Register.

   Therefore, the foreigner in charge of the supervision asked to cut off the two steel plates and re-weld them after discovering them.

   It was the first time for them to do this kind of thing, and they felt annoyed in their hearts. At the same time, they were also worried, what if pitting appeared on other steel plates?

  Qin Tao thought of something, and asked: "Director Wang, are the two steel plates with pitting spots 2306 medium-thick plates purchased from Kobe Steel?"

   "How do you know?" Director Wang was taken aback for a moment.

  How do you know? Of course, Qin Tao in his previous life came into contact with it after entering the Huating Shipyard to work. At that time, the shipyard was very annoyed by this matter, and finally found out that the steel was unqualified!

At that time, no one believed that the problem was steel. This is the famous Kobe Steel, which is used all over the world. Although Huating Shipyard is very powerful, it does not have the power to claim compensation. It has been more than ten years since the truth was discovered. , also missed the claims period.

  Now, since Qin Tao is here, of course this kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen.

   "There are quality problems with this batch of steel. We need to contact Kobe Steel's general agent in Huating immediately and negotiate with them." Qin Tao said.

   "How do you know?" Director Wang had countless questions in his mind.

"When I was in college, I saw a newspaper issue saying that Kobe Steel once produced a batch of inferior steel, which caused heavy losses to a certain shipyard. I only remember the type of steel, which is this 2306 medium-thick plate. I don’t remember which issue of the newspaper, but the problem with this batch of steel plates is that there will be spots. These islanders probably sold this batch of low-quality steel plates to us!”

   "What? It really happened?" The people behind Director Wang were stunned: "Fortunately, we only used a few pieces of Kobe steel. If we use all of them..."

  Look at the tall cargo ship beside you. If it is used, it must be rebuilt!

"Director Wang, we can confront the islanders. If they admit to selling us low-quality steel, then we can get a sum of compensation. Even if they don't admit it, we have to try our best to fight for it, right?" Qin Tao continued Said.

   "Are you sure it is this kind of 2306 plate?"

"Yes."

  Director Wang nodded. If they were really cheated by the islanders, then of course they couldn't swallow it! The precious foreign exchange spent cannot be wasted! They have also seen Qin Tao's ability, so they won't just talk about it.

Originally they used the steel from Huating Iron and Steel Works, but the construction schedule for this ship was very tight, so they had to buy a batch of Kobe Steel from the island country at a high price. The output was greatly increased to meet their needs, so they only used a few pieces of Kobe Steel.

   This is already a blessing in misfortune. If it is used in a large area, the consequences will be disastrous!

   Zhao Ling frowned, she wanted to tell Qin Tao, we are here to hire welders, why are you doing other things? However, her lips moved, but she still didn't say anything.

   This is the confrontation between Qin Tao and foreigners, she really wants to see it.

   PS: This model is made up. After searching for a long time, I only found that the aluminum plate is a four-digit number starting with 5, so this steel plate is assumed to start with 2.
