King of Industry

  Chapter 685 insists that Qingshan will not relax

  The rest of July flew by in the blink of an eye.

  On the night of August 1st, I had a meal with the family at Director Mu's house. After the "August 1st Festival", Zhao Guoyang went directly to Jinling the next morning.

  Because it is summer vacation time, the passenger flow to and from Jinling Railway Station is much higher than in previous months.

   Zhao Guoyang bought a sleeper berth. After finding his own bed and lying down, he remembered the call from Mr. Li that he received last night.

  During the phone call yesterday, Mr. Li mentioned a cooperation project between the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronic Industry and the State Oceanic Administration after chatting with himself with a smile.

  After I talked with the leaders of the State Oceanic Administration about the future prospects of Huaxia Shipbuilding, the State Oceanic Administration quickly put it into practice and decided to make great efforts to support a group of private shipping companies.

  The reason why Mr. Li called himself this time was to ask himself if he had any thoughts on entering the shipbuilding industry.

  Because of his relationship with Mr. Li, Zhao Guoyang did not hide his vision of his future industrial empire from him.

  After learning that he has two potential companies, "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" and "SMS Construction Machinery Group Company", Mr. Li has roughly guessed what he wants to do.

   Given such a good opportunity to enter the shipbuilding industry, of course Mr. Li thought of himself first.

   Not only because he has a good relationship with himself, but also because Mr. Li wants to see if he can create another miracle, a miracle about China's shipbuilding industry.

   For this opportunity of "a pie in the sky", Zhao Guoyang of course agreed immediately, and hurriedly bought a ticket early the next morning, and rushed to the capital.

  Originally, according to the established rendezvous time of the North American Economic and Industrial Investigation Team, he should have set off on the 5th.

   Lying on the hard cot, Zhao Guoyang grinned when he was threatened from time to time.

  Of course, he was in a happy mood and didn't pay much attention to these.

  At this moment, he really hopes to see Mr. Li and Director Qin of the State Oceanic Administration immediately.

  …

  When the train arrived at the Beijing Railway Station, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

   Zhao Guoyang came out of the station, waved his hand to stop a taxi, and went straight to the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry.

  Because of the agreement with Mr. Li, after Zhao Guoyang entered the ministry, Mr. Li's life secretary Xia Yunfei had been waiting downstairs.

  As soon as he saw Zhao Guoyang entering the lobby, this guy trotted over and politely led him to the elevator.

   While taking the elevator, Secretary Xia did not forget to mention Zhao Guoyang and said: "Researcher Zhao, Director Qin of the State Oceanic Administration is in Mr. Li's office. Mr. Li, I have something to bring to you..."

  Seeing the faint smile on Secretary Xia's face, Zhao Guoyang seemed to understand something.

  He quickly put on a taught look and said: "Brother Xia, what did Mr. Li ask you to tell me? Just say it, and I will definitely obey it!"

  Xia Yunfei was very satisfied with the attitude of this Researcher Zhao, he smiled slightly, and whispered in Zhao Guoyang's ear: "Mr. Li asked me to tell you something - insist that Qingshan will not relax!"

  Hearing this sentence, Zhao Guoyang understood as if he had been enlightened.

   When Secretary Xia arrived at Mr. Li's office, Zhao Guoyang saw from the floor-to-ceiling glass that this man was chatting with a vigorous middle-aged man in his forties.

   Seeing Zhao Guoyang coming through the window, Li Kejian laughed and stood up.

   After entering the house, Zhao Guoyang naturally greeted Mr. Li first.

  After the two chatted for a few words, Li Kejian introduced to him: "Guoyang, come here, let me introduce you, Director Qin Yang of the Industrial Equipment Department of the State Oceanic Administration!"

   "Director Qin, this is the industrial prodigy Zhao Guoyang I told you about!"

  After listening to Li Kejian's introduction, Qin Yang immediately extended his hand towards Zhao Guoyang and said, "Researcher Zhao, hello, I've heard you famous for a long time!"

   "I have been hearing from Director Hong, the leader of our Oceanic Bureau, that Researcher Zhao is young and promising, and he is a rare and outstanding talent in our country. Seeing him today is really extraordinary!"

  After listening to Director Qin's "flattering", Zhao Guoyang felt ashamed for a while.

   It should be said that Director Hong's evaluation of himself is a bit high.

  In fact, the development of the country's shipbuilding industry that I published in front of this big boss before was just a superficial talk and a slight mention in the general direction.

  If you really want to say that there are any constructive opinions, it is really impossible to talk about it.

  But Director Hong obviously had a very different sense of himself after that incident.

  Judging from the meaning of Director Qin's words, it seems that Director Hong has mentioned his name more than once in the State Oceanic Administration.

   After introducing Zhao Guoyang and Qin Yang, Li Kejian cheerfully invited them to sit down again.

  After Secretary Xia brought Zhao Guoyang a cup of hot tea, Mr. Li got straight to the point.

  Looking at Zhao Guoyang, who was lightly sipping tea, he said slowly, "Guoyang, Director Qin asked me to bring you here today, mainly to hear your thoughts on the development of private shipping companies."

   "I won't hide it from you, Director Qin and his State Oceanic Administration are planning to cooperate with our Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry to launch a cooperative pilot project."

   "Guoyang, as a 'special researcher' of our Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, you should speak freely in this regard, and point out the difficulties and difficulties to us as much as possible!"

After Li Kejian finished speaking, Qin Yang also nodded in agreement: "What Mr. Li said is true! Researcher Zhao, the idea of ​​vigorously supporting private shipping companies that you and Director Hong mentioned last time has been carefully investigated by the State Oceanic Administration. After the study, the consensus was that it was totally doable."

   "In order to speed up the development of our country's shipbuilding industry, our bureau decided after research to cooperate with the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry to support a group of 'small but sophisticated' private shipbuilding companies."

   "The purpose is to hope that these small shipbuilding companies can bring a different stream to the national shipbuilding industry!"

Speaking of this, Qin Yang sincerely said to Zhao Guoyang: "Researcher Zhao, Director Hong and Mr. Li agree with some of your views on shipbuilding technology. I hope you can appreciate the insights of our two departments. This cooperation pilot project, put forward some pertinent opinions and suggestions."

  After Qin Yang finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang nodded slowly and said, "Thank you Director Hong and Director Qin for trusting me, then I'll just say it straight..."

  “From the perspective of the current development trend of the international ship assembly manufacturing industry, it is in the midstream manufacturing link of the industrial chain.”

   "Its upstream industries include raw materials, ship design, ship supporting equipment, etc., and its downstream customers are shipping companies or leasing companies."

   "In this, raw materials mainly refer to steel, alloy materials, and special materials; ship design can be divided into basic design, detailed design, etc."

Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment and continued to speak: "The supporting facilities of ships are relatively complex, which can be divided into ship power system, marine power and electrical system, deck machinery, marine outfitting equipment, marine communication and navigation system, ship automation system, cabin equipment, ballast water, etc. systems, marine piping, special equipment, etc.”

   "In general, China's shipbuilding industry is involved in these upstream industries, and even has a certain degree of competitiveness."

   "Only in terms of ship finance, our country is still in a vacuum for the time being, only the future will slowly complete..."

  Hearing this, Qin Yang said with some doubts: "Researcher Zhao, what kind of industry is this ship finance industry you are talking about?"

  Zhao Guoyang let out a "huh" and explained seriously: "The ship finance industry is to provide shipbuilding companies and shipping companies with financial services such as buyer and seller credit and letters of guarantee."

   "Maybe Director Qin also knows that our country is still lagging behind developed countries in terms of credit and insurance services. However, I firmly believe that with the acceleration of our country's reform and development, these businesses will gradually become popular."

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang's comments on Huaxia Shipbuilding Industry, Qin Yang thought that "this trip is worthwhile".

He turned his head to look at Li Kejian, and said with emotion: "Mr. Li, you are right. Researcher Zhao is indeed too comprehensive in the theory of the shipbuilding industry. I think he can polish his comments a little bit. Go directly to our bureau's quarterly report!"

  After hearing Qin Yang's sigh, Li Kejian seemed to be happy and said, "So I said, it is definitely the right choice to ask Guoyang to answer our questions."

  Qin Yang nodded, and continued to ask: "Researcher Zhao, I just heard your description. It seems that our country is still lacking in the upstream industry of the shipbuilding industry. I wonder if this is the case?"

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, if you want to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry, you must pursue its upstream industry."

   "At present, in the upstream industry of our country's shipbuilding industry, the gap between raw materials, ship design and developed countries is too obvious. This is also the biggest shackle that restricts the progress of our country's shipbuilding industry..."

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Qin Yang said in a heartbroken voice: "Researcher Zhao, can you explain this in more detail?"

  Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly, nodded slightly and said: "Actually, Director Qin may have heard about this situation before."

   "Let me first talk about the current situation of our country in terms of raw materials for the shipbuilding industry!"

   "Generally speaking, the shipbuilding industry and the marine industry are the two major systems of marine steel structures. Both of these two major industries require a large amount of steel product support."

"Currently, the steel used in our country's shipbuilding industry and marine industry is far from meeting the needs of the domestic market. We need to rely on imports for most of the high-grade special steel. This also makes our country in the two major industries , naturally cost a lot more than others..."
