Just as Guo Weitao was wondering whether his immediate boss really didn't know that he was an acrobat or was pretending not to know, Chen Gong from COSCO suddenly smiled and asked: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Wu, when the dock is completely built, will you rent it out to others?"

Boss Wang smiled and asked: "Mr. Chen, don't you have enough slipway?"

"There are not many orders this year. If there are more orders, there will definitely not be enough slips."

"With such a big investment, of course we want to see the money back as soon as possible. If the rent is suitable, there should be no problem renting it to you." Boss Wang smiled and looked back at Boss Wu: "Old Wu, don't you think so?"

He had to do the business that came to his door. Boss Wu couldn't help but smile and said: "No problem, I have no objection."

Han Yu knew very well that they had never thought about building ships in the dock, because they had the ability and could receive orders for ships that could be built on the river beach without using such a large dock. Boss Wu did not even plan to build them on the river beach.

The shipyard at Bailong Port was relocated.

As for the huge investment in the dock in front of them, they plan to use it as a deep-water dock.

It is difficult for them to go through the procedures for the terminal, but the Development Zone Management Committee and Linghai Port Co., Ltd. have promised that they can call Linghai Port, and then they only need to pay the management fee to Linghai Port.

But the Linghai Port project is much bigger than their transformation of a natural branch port into a shipyard and pier, and it will take another two years at the earliest to be completed and put into use.

As for repairing large ships, they first need orders. They have never repaired them before. Who dares to let them repair the ship easily? And they now have no money to invest in a dock crane. Rather than letting this huge investment shipyard idle for two years, it is better to rent a ship to them.

Build freighters for COSCO.

For such a large shipyard, renting it for a day costs at least 10,000 yuan.

Considering that the venue is large enough and the supporting equipment is not complete but completely absent, with a 50% discount, you can earn 5,000 yuan from renting it for a day, which is 1 million yuan a year.

Excluding maintenance costs, the income is at least 600,000 to 700,000 yuan a year.

Thinking of this, Han Yu felt much better.

Because when it comes to investing in building a shipyard, the city leaders have used different methods to mobilize people for the development of the port area, and have not really considered whether it can generate benefits after completion.

It can be said that the current investment promotion is too utilitarian, and it is believed that as long as people come to invest in the development zone, it is a victory. As for whether people can make money by investing their money, it is a matter for the future, or even their own business.

If the two shipyard owners have an income of 600,000 to 700,000 yuan a year, at least they don't have to worry about where the loan interest will come from.

Han Yu was about to congratulate them. Tang Wentao, who had just gone to the corner to answer the phone, hurried over and said: "Xianyu, there is a foreign ship launched from Jiangcheng. Because it avoided an inland river cargo ship, it ran aground in Dacang waters. The bow of the ship was seriously damaged. It is said that the nose of the ship was seriously damaged.

The capital was deformed, and Mr. Zhang asked us if we could fix it."

"Which Mr. Zhang?"

"Jack Zhang, the owner of that freighter is a shipping company in Singapore and has business dealings with a shipping agency in Donghai. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shen visited that agency. When they visited, the couple told people that we have a shipping company in Linghai.

People are calling now to ask about their ability to repair 10,000-ton cargo ships!"

The main project here has just been completed, and there is maintenance business there.

Boss Wang and Boss Wu's eyes lit up, and then they thought that they only had a bare dock and not a single heavy equipment needed to repair the big ship, and they lowered their heads sadly.

It is all too common for ships to collide or run aground.

Han Yu was silent for a moment and asked: "What kind of ship is this stranded?"

"A 70,000-ton bulk carrier."

"Is there any cargo on board?"

"No, they went to Jiangcheng to unload the goods and ran aground on the way to Donghai Port for loading."

"Repairing such a large shipyard is not a trivial matter. The shipowner has not asked his agent to consult a capable ship repair factory?"

"I asked and asked around. Many shipyards in the East China Sea have the ability to repair but there are no empty docks. They have to wait at least half a month before they can dock."

"Just repairing the damaged bow?"

"Mr. Zhang said that the ship should be put into dry dock for overhaul. The ship owner and the ship agent made it very clear that if it can be put into dry dock as soon as possible, a comprehensive overhaul will be carried out."

Many shipowners rent their ships for tens of thousands of dollars a day.

Coupled with crew wages and other expenses, we really can't afford to waste a single day.

Han Yu could understand the shipowner's mood, weighed it up, and looked back at the two shipyard bosses: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Wu, this opportunity must not be missed before it comes back. Do you dare to take on this dock repair project?"

"We...we haven't repaired it. Besides, there is only a bare dock and nothing else!"

"Are there any workers?"

"There are plenty of workers."

"Is there any technical problem?"

"Last time I went to the East China Sea, I found several old engineers and masters from large shipyards. They were willing to help, but... we just don't have the ability to build large ships for the time being, so we didn't dare to hire them. After all, if we do, we would have to pay them.

salary."

"You can invite me now. It's best to find a car to pick her up."

"Real cultivation!"

"You have invested so much. Why don't you make money when you finally have the opportunity? Besides, there is a first time for everything."

Han Yu patted Mr. Wang's arm, and then looked at COSCO's old engineer: "Mr. Chen, ship repair and shipbuilding are actually the same thing. Mr. Wang, Mr. Wu is encountering difficulties now, can you help me?"

Chen Gongxiao asked: "What can I help you with?"

"Borrow some equipment."

"When it comes to equipment, there is a lot of shortage here. Even if I could make the decision to lend the gantry crane to Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu, I wouldn't be able to move it here in less than two months and without spending more than ten or two hundred thousand."

"You don't need to borrow a gantry crane, just some small equipment, such as a high-pressure water sandblasting machine."

This is the maintenance of foreign ships, and foreigners’ money is the best to make!

Boss Wu saw that Han Yu was confident and felt that he could really repair it, so he said eagerly: "Mr. Chen, no matter what equipment you borrow, we can pay the rent."

"I'll go back and ask the leader. It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, we may have to cooperate in the future."

"Okay, please."

Both the development zone and the city now need to earn foreign exchange.

As a cadre of the development zone, Han Yu did not want to miss this opportunity, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "We still need to borrow a few people from you. After the ship is repaired, we need to organize the information, and a lot of information needs to be signed at the same time with the people on the ship. We have such talents in Linghai No."

At present, COSCO Shipyard only builds ships but does not repair ships. At least it does not repair foreign ships, but this does not mean that it will not carry out foreign ship maintenance business in the future.

Chen Gong felt that this was an opportunity for actual combat training and said with a smile: "I will call the leader to report. I think the problem should not be big."

"Thank you."

Time was urgent, and Han Yu did not dare to waste a moment. He turned around and said: "Director Tang, please report to Mayor Shen quickly. Overhauling the outer ship is not a trivial matter. Even with the support of Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu can't handle it."

To drag a foreign ship over, you first need to obtain the consent of the port supervisor. Health quarantine and customs must board the ship for inspection. After entering the dock, the border inspection must arrange for armed police officers and soldiers to come over to monitor... There are a lot of various procedures!

As the deputy director of the Development Zone Management Committee, Tang Wentao also did not want to miss this opportunity to earn foreign exchange and show off his face. He quickly said: "Okay, I will report to Mayor Shen right now."

Han Yu took a few deep breaths and took out his cell phone to dial Zhang Asheng's number.

If he could take over this dock repair project, Zhang Asheng would be the agent's agent, and he would also benefit from it. As soon as he got through, he asked eagerly: "Xianyu, whether Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu can do the repair, they are waiting for my reply." "

"Can be repaired."

"Can it really be repaired?"

"People have built 10,000-ton cargo ships on the beach. Why can't we repair the ships even though we have a dock?"

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words. I happen to be in the East China Sea to send the students to the ship. I'll go to the agency immediately to have a detailed discussion with them."

"Ask clearly about the items to be repaired and ask the other party to prepare drawings and related information, otherwise we will not be able to quote."

"I know. I also repaired ships when I was running a ship, and I participated in shipyard repairs."

"I feel relieved now and can boldly talk to the ship owner!"

…

Vice Mayor Shen received a call from Tang Wentao and was extremely excited.

Linghai has built the largest dry dock in Binjiang and even the entire province. Just after attending the completion ceremony of the main project, foreign ship maintenance business came to the door.

This is of great significance to Linghai. It not only can earn foreign exchange, but also means that the economic development of Linghai port has taken the first real step.

Vice Mayor Shen figured out the ins and outs and immediately called Secretary Ye to report.

Secretary Ye, who had just returned to the municipal party committee from the riverside, asked the driver to turn back and summoned the heads of relevant departments to return to the dock construction site by the river for an on-site meeting.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wu, this ship's dock repair project is of great significance. Even if it doesn't make money, we have to take it on. Besides, it's impossible not to make money. Even if there is no profit from the ship repair, there will be a tax refund."

Secretary Ye waved his hand, looked at the two of them and said: "The municipal party committee and government will do their best to help you, but we are separated by mountains and rivers. We don't know how to help. Just tell us what you need from the municipal party committee and government, whether it's financial or other aspects. "

"Secretary Ye, we don't understand much either. We have never repaired a foreign ship or even a large ship."

"Who knows?"

"Director Han understands, Director Tang understands, and Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shen from Changsheng Shipping Management Company understand."

"Secretary Ye, actually I don't understand it very well."

It seems that Xianyu is going to take the lead again!

Secretary Ye looked at Han Yu, turned around and said: "Mayor Shen, I suggest that the management committee set up a leading group for the ship docking repair project. You will serve as the group leader, and Comrade Han Yu will serve as the deputy group leader. Take action immediately. What needs to be done? The work must be done immediately. If you need any support from the municipal party committee and government, just ask.”

"yes!"
