Chapter 647 Container ship with eighteen thousand boxes

 After arriving in the capital, I picked up my son, and the family of three headed to Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort with Xu Zhengyang.

"In the past few years, the domestic tourism industry has gradually become more and more popular. Especially in winter, many people travel to Qiongzhou. Our Shuangsha Island Fishery Resort can also receive many tourists. Mr. Qin, as you asked, we will not disturb you. The other tourists just checked all the tourists on the island." Xu Zhengyang introduced to Qin Tao on the way.

Qin Tao is going to travel, and he doesn’t know how many people are busy. Qin Tao also feels a little embarrassed about the burden he places on these people. However, as a normal person, Qin Tao still hopes to have his own travel life.

“Ahead is Qiongzhou Port. Your private yacht is parked there. Let’s take the yacht to Shuangsha Island.”

The helicopter landed at the port. Qin Haiyang looked at the yacht parked there and said very excitedly: "Dad, is that our yacht?"

 “That’s right, it’s from our family.”

“Our family has a yacht, which is great! The little girl in class has a car, and she talks about her car all day long. When I get back, I have to tell him that having a car is nothing, and our family also has a yacht.”

Qin Tao stopped and was stunned. Is this little brat going to become an uneducated second generation?

Snapped!

Qin Tao slapped Qin Haiyang on the butt: "You kid, you have to be a good student in school and compare your grades with other classmates. Apart from grades, other things are not important. If you let me know , you compare family and pocket money with other classmates at school, I..."

“Mom, dad hit me!” Qin Haiyang began to feel aggrieved.

Zhao Ling was also rare and did not take his side: "Hai Yang, your father is right, he should be beaten!"

This child cannot become talented without fighting. How many children have been pampered and pampered since childhood, only to become useless when they grow up.

Although Zhao Ling is a mother, she definitely does not spoil her children.

“Godmother, Godmother, help!” At this moment, Qin Haiyang shouted again, running forward while shouting.

Vitalia’s figure appeared in front.

"Neptune, what's wrong? Did your parents beat you?" Vitalia took Qin Haiyang's little hand.

 Qin Haiyang didn't cry at first, but when Vitalia asked him this question, he felt aggrieved and started sobbing instead.

Okay, now I have Vitalia as my backer.

Qin Tao was a little helpless, and Zhao Ling greeted him with a wry smile: "Weina, you can't be used to children."

"Children cannot be beaten either." Vitalia said: "I have been idle and bored recently, walking around, and found that there are still many places in your country that are very poor, especially the villages in the mountains. If you have time, , I will take Neptune to the mountains in the future to see how the children there attend classes."

“Vina, it’s the ocean, not the king of the sea.” Qin Tao finally couldn’t bear it anymore and corrected Vitalia’s pronunciation.

"I'm talking about the ocean." Vitalia rolled her eyes at him: "Let's go, let's get on the yacht. This yacht was driven back by my godmother back then. Neptune, do you want to hear the story of that year?"

"think!"

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly and followed behind. When he went up, he saw a familiar figure.

 “Boris, how are you doing in the East?”

"It's very good here. I also met a beautiful oriental girl..." Originally, Boris focused all his attention on his career and making his energy empire bigger and stronger. However, after accepting Qin Tao's suggestion , Boris also quickly adapted to the new life. As a man, since he no longer has a career, he might as well have a woman.

"Boris, you have to think carefully. Playing with women is immoral in the East. If you plan to marry her, you have to consider whether she likes you as your person or your money." Qin Tao smiled and said to her. Boris said: "You must not end up losing your health due to a moment of negligence."

Boris nodded: "When I have nothing to do, I go to the casino to relax and gamble a little. However, that girl is a staff member of the casino and kindly reminded me several times to stop it, for fear that I would invest all my life savings in it. When she got off work, we met by chance in the alley outside the parking lot, and then I got on her scooter."

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "Boris, don't you think this is too coincidental?"

“Qin, is all this important? As long as I am happy, that’s fine.”

 Qin Tao suddenly understood that Boris should know that there was definitely a problem, but he didn't care. Why?

 Because this woman was deliberately kept by his side. If he guessed correctly, she should also be Yanzi. In this way, he could make Moscow feel more at ease.

 “Let’s go, let’s travel, and in the rest of the time, we have to have fun.” Boris said.

 Qin Tao’s life is very relaxed, but some people’s life is very tense.

  In the Three Gorges reservoir area, a large number of foreigners stood in front of the steel warehouse.

"There will never be any data falsification in our island country's products. This batch of steel is fully qualified! We believe this is due to the unqualified laboratory and experimental standards in the East! Therefore, we require the products to be sent back to our country Let’s go to a professional institution for inspection!” said Taro Koizumi, a representative sent by the supplier of this batch of steel products.

"Our Chinese technology is world-class. We have been able to manufacture various steel materials including aircraft carrier steel plates. How could there be problems with our testing? Now in front of so many people, you are still making excuses!" Procurement The person in charge was annoyed.

“In short, there will be no problems with our steel, and your data indicates that it is unqualified, so what else could be the problem besides your testing?”

“How can you ensure that there will be no problems with your steel? We have videotaped the entire inspection process!”

“We don’t believe it unless it’s sent to our island country!”

“When the unqualified steel reaches your place, the data will become qualified, right?”

 “Asshole!” Taro Koizumi was already scolding him. He looked towards the direction where the words came from. He turned out to be a reporter. This reporter was too outrageous. How could he say that?

"Then can you explain why the largest container ship broke in two? Could it be that substandard steel was used? In your construction data, the data must be correct, but we all have our own eyes. Don't Shift the blame to the weather, the sea was not very rough that day, and we have all seen the video.”

Who knew that a ship would pass by and take a video that was broken into two parts? The wind and waves on the sea were not that big at that time.

“If we want to test, it cannot be done by institutions in island countries, otherwise there will be problems with the data. We in Germany have a special laboratory in the East, how about testing it there?” Another reporter asked.

“Okay, we agree.” said the person in charge of Three Gorges Procurement.

 Koizumi Taro’s eyes rolled, knowing that he could not refuse.

“Okay, when the testing data is qualified and the whole world knows how backward the testing institutions in the East are, we will pursue you for defamation and demand compensation!”

“Of course you can, but what do you do if the data is not up to standard?”

“It’s impossible, our steel can’t be unqualified!”

 Wuhan, a laboratory affiliated with Rheinmetall.

“How is it? Is the data out?” Taro Koizumi asked the technician in a white coat anxiously.

  “The data has come out and is being printed.”

 “Can you give it to us first?”

 “Everyone has a share. Okay, come out.”

Taro Koizumi picked up the report, took a look at it, and shouted: "No, no, there is something wrong with your test! This data is wrong!"

"This is the real data, Mr. Koizumi, if you still don't accept it, we will divide your sample of this batch into hundreds of parts in front of our journalist friends and mail them to metal testing institutions around the world. When you do Would you say that all the testing data in the world are wrong and only yours is right?"

 “No, no, that’s not the case, our quality is fine!”

“Island countries are really good at counterfeiting!”

 “That’s right, I still haven’t admitted my mistake yet!”

Journalists began to talk about it. The data from the German laboratory was the same as the test data from the Orientals. Therefore, the data was correct and the quality of this batch of steel plates was not up to standard!

 The islanders exported substandard steel plates, forged qualified data, and still refused to admit it!

It's useless not to admit it. Reporters have sharp eyes. Soon, this matter will spread all over the world!

The attitude of the islanders is completely different from what they have shown before. Everything about rigor and high quality is just bragging!

 The news of data fraud quickly spread throughout the world. The cargo ship manufactured by 300 was broken into two parts. There was no other reason. It must be that the quality of the steel was not up to standard!

 Amidst the disgust around the world, another shocking news came out.

"I used to work as a quality inspector at San0 Wire Industry and San0 Copper Copper Co., Ltd. During the decades of work, we have been tampering with product data, mainly because over the years, the orders we received have exceeded our production capacity. , we have a lot of delivery pressure, so even if we find substandard products in the final inspection before leaving the factory, as long as our quality management section chief believes that it will not affect customer use, he will change the relevant data and continue to issue Goods. In our eyes, although the data has been changed, these are caused by customers' high requirements. Our quality is still no problem. Moreover, the top management of the company also knows about this matter, because there are Several internal investigations within the company have revealed that the data has been tampered with, but the president at the time also ordered that the relevant information be concealed, and the shipment of substandard products continued. This kind of fraud exists in the entire 30, except where I am. This industry involves aviation, automobiles, mechanical and electrical products, etc.”

　　A quality inspector from 300 Company betrayed him! He disclosed this matter to the European media, which further confirmed the fact that 30 Group had committed fraud!

Now, the whole world is even more shocked. The quality of the island country is all fake. Can the quality obtained by forgery be qualified?

Various inside stories are constantly being unearthed by the media. Sanzero Aluminum Fuji Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Japanese non-ferrous metal giant Sanzero Comprehensive Materials Company, has been hit hard. The materials they produce are also unqualified. They are not only used in automobile manufacturing, but also Used in aircraft manufacturing, that is to say, aircraft using their materials are unqualified.

At this time, many people couldn't sit still at all.

 Blue sky, clear water, tall coconut trees, the entire Shuangsha Island is a tropical scene.

Qin Tao got out of the water and said to the two women beside him, "How about it? It's beautiful underwater, isn't it?"

“Yes, I saw a lot of beautiful fish underwater.” Zhao Ling said, “The underwater world is so beautiful!”

“Qin, do we want to eat grilled fish tonight? By the way, can Neptune eat fish?”

"Of course, godmother, I love fish the most!" Qin Haiyang was playing with the sand castle on the beach. After hearing Vitalia's words, he immediately shouted.

Shuangsha Island is a ring-shaped island with a seawater inside. As long as an anti-shark net is set up at the exit, swimming inside is very safe.

Therefore, Xu Zhengyang did not follow him into the water, but just kept watch on the shore. At this time, when he saw Qin Tao and others coming back from diving, he immediately said: "Mr. Qin, I'm afraid you will have to work again."

"What job?"

"Gong Yang is coming by ground effect aircraft. When he arrives, I will report to you personally."

Yang Dawei? Could it be that there was a problem with the modern-class destroyer during its renovation? Qin Tao shook his head helplessly. He couldn't live in peace even if he took his wife and children on vacation.

That night, while grilling fish on the beach, Yang Dawei finally arrived.

“Mr. Qin, a large number of customers have asked us about container ships and whether we can build large container ships. We have never built this type of ship, so we want to ask for your opinion.”

Originally, 30 Heavy Industry was the leader in building containers, but because the largest container ship they built became two pieces at sea, customers gave up ordering from 30 Heavy Industry. In East Asia, Mingzhou Group is in the shipbuilding industry. It has strong strength, so customers come to Mingzhou Group.

 The only problem is that Mingzhou Group has never built a container ship.

"Container ships are the same as our bulk carriers. What's the problem?" Qin Tao said: "Our bulk carriers have a loading capacity of 100,000 tons. If we transport containers, we can transport about 10,000. If we change it, Just change it and it will work.”

30 Heavy Industry even took out their container ships to brag about how good they were. In fact, Mingzhou Group simply didn’t bother to compete with them. Otherwise, Mingzhou Group would have beaten them down long ago. Since this time When customers come to visit, of course they have to officially enter the container industry.

“Mr. Qin, the customer’s requirement is that the bigger the better.” Yang Dawei said.

“Big? Okay, then we will put up a satellite and develop a cargo ship with 18,000 containers for customers.” Qin Tao said: “Have you brought a computer?”

 “Well, I brought my notebook.”

So, on the beach, Qin Tao was eating grilled fish and drawing pictures for Yang Dawei.

Length, 399 meters, width, 54 meters, engine installed at the rear, double island layout, with the cockpit in the front and the living cabin in the back. The biggest advantage of this is that it gives the driver a better view, like a general cargo ship The cockpit is arranged at the very back, making it inconvenient to observe the front. Moreover, the counterweight at the front end can be adjusted, which is suitable for ships in shallow water areas. It can also sail at high speeds and uses a low-speed large-diameter propeller at the rear.

This thing looks very spectacular. Yang Dawei lamented that the products built by Mingzhou Group are getting bigger and bigger. This thing is almost as big as a super aircraft carrier.

etc!

 There seems to be something wrong!

“Mr. Qin, when we stack the containers on top, do we need to tie them up to prevent them from falling during the sea voyage?”

Qin Tao had just talked about the issue of using high-strength steel. Hearing Yang Dawei's question, he glanced at him: "Bundling? Why bundle? Even a container transport truck on land cannot be bundled. Not to mention the sea.”

 No bundling is a common practice in container transportation.

There are many container trailers on the land. These containers are hoisted by cranes to the trailer racks in the port and then transported to various places. There are fixing devices on the vehicles to fix the containers and the frames. However, no driver can do this step. .

This is not only to save trouble, but also has a more important purpose: to sacrifice the container and protect yourself.

Normally it doesn't matter, but once there is a special situation, such as a sudden sharp turn and turning the steering wheel too fast, if it is fixed, the car and the container will have to turn over. If it is not fixed, the container will fly out, but the car will still be safe. Anyway, the container is insured, and the container has to be turned out anyway. Therefore, a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.

The same is true for container cargo ships. If there are strong winds and waves at sea and the hull tilts, the most you can do is throw some neatly stacked containers into the sea. If they are tied tightly, wouldn't it mean that the container ship will also be thrown into the sea?

This is of course unacceptable, so the common practice for container ships is to not tie them up and throw them into the sea with an insurance company. If the insurance company refuses to compensate due to some force majeure factor, then the cargo owner will be unlucky.

Containers floating on the sea have also become a good helper for some people to make a fortune. If you pick up a box and open it, you will see that they are all kidney 4, and you will reach the peak of your life.

Yang Dawei felt chills for a while, then nodded quickly and stopped asking this idiot's questions. Although Yang Dawei has been engaged in ship design for half his life, he has never built a container cargo ship and is not familiar with this industry.

“Our ship design should just be able to pass through the Suez Canal.” Yang Dawei said: “However, the navigation must be smooth. If it goes sideways, the waterway will be completely blocked.”

Qin Tao smiled: "That's force majeure."

In fact, this plan has been conceived in Qin Tao's mind. The Arctic route must be developed, which is related to our own strategic security. So, how to get the world to support this route? Of course, the Suez Canal was blocked at the critical moment.

With Qin Tao here, many weird emergencies are possible. For example, was the container ship that broke into two parts really a material problem?

Yang Dawei stayed on the island for three days, discussing all the details of various container ships, and only went back after confirming that there were no problems. Qin Tao continued to stay on Shuangsha Island for vacation, and around the world, San0's reputation was growing. It gets stinky at an alarming rate.

 In the East, large shopping malls that specialize in selling island products have also become deserted.

“Don’t miss it if you pass by. The Toshiba TVs we sell here are of first-class quality and the price has dropped to an all-time low. Come and buy it!”

“Hmph, anyone who buys products from the island is committing fraud.”

“The counterfeiter is San0, and it has nothing to do with Toshiba, which is world-class.”

 “Huh, all the products from the island are the same.”

“That’s right, you have the spirit of craftsmanship. When something goes wrong, you know how to bow and apologize. Afterwards, you should do the same thing. Who are you fooling?”

  Recently, the word craftsmanship has also been spread, because many presidents of 30 Group companies have held press conferences to apologize. But, is the apology useful? Can an apology make up for the loss? If apologizing works, then why do we need the police?

However, there are still a few public intellectuals bragging about it.

“Don’t believe the recent rumors. The quality of products made in the island country has always been very good. Did you know? The cars produced in the island country are all assembled at low temperatures and are world-class!”

This is something that Ribuki often talks about. The workers in the island country are really dedicated. They have to wear down jackets and assemble in the ice cellar when working. Isn’t this nonsense?

Low-temperature assembly is not unique to the island country's industry. It exists in industries all over the world. It is just that for the convenience of installation, a few parts either allow the inner parts to freeze and shrink, or the outer parts to expand when heated. In this way, the gap is expanded to facilitate installation. It has long been common. It's technical, only Hibuki uses it to show off.

  The financial crisis of 1997 did not affect the island countries. However, the crisis of confidence at the end of the year caused the export of island products to stagnate, while Eastern manufacturing began to export in large quantities.

On New Year's Eve, the single-family villa on Shuangsha Island was even more lively. After the sound of chopping vegetables and meat, Vitalia and Zhao Ling made dumplings together. In the past few years, Vitalia has been I learned the art of celebrating the New Year in the East.

 Qin Haiyang also helped, with white face smeared on his face, looking extremely funny.

 Boris’s new girlfriend is also there to help.

Although dumplings are also made in the village, making dumplings at home is more exciting.

 Qin Tao and Boris were sitting on the sofa in the villa, chatting.

 Suddenly, Boris spoke.

 “Abramovich is dead.”

 After Boris left, the power vacuum needed to be filled. Abramovich was originally Boris's subordinate and learned a lot of skills from Boris, so he wanted to replace Boris's position.

It has only been less than half a year and he is already dead.

Qin Tao nodded: "Times have changed. It's good to be a rich man. No one can dominate the world for a lifetime. Retreating from the rapids might not be the best choice."

 “Yes.” Boris nodded and sighed.

"Mr. Qin, I just received the news." At this moment, Xu Zhengyang walked in: "I'm afraid you need to end your trip."

 “Why? There’s still half the winter vacation left.”

 “The sea trial comparison will start soon.”
