Chapter 420 Ship Order
  "Almost forgot about the customer's needs?" When he got off work in the afternoon, Liu Hai remembered that he forgot to ask his junior sister what kind of car she liked.

Some girls like cute and cute cars, and some girls like big off-road vehicles.

So I couldn't make a choice for the bangs at the moment, so I decided to wait two days and ask my junior sister what style she liked.

In fact, the demand for cars in China is not very high now, which does not mean that no one in the country likes cars.

It's because the current production of steel, rubber, etc. must be exported first.

The popularity of dog cars has diverted all domestic steel resources towards car manufacturing.

Except for military construction machinery and weapons, the demand for civilian steel has been reduced to a very low level, and the use of some non-production steel has been reduced.

The number of domestic van tasks has been reduced again and again, and a series of tasks including motorcycles have also been reduced a lot.

The main reason is that automobile exports have grown too much, including Pioneer cars, vans, Zhongxing cars, dog cars, 125 two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles, and 250 two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles.

The huge export business not only drained many school students, but also sucked in domestic steel and other materials. Even international raw materials such as steel and rubber were also sucked in.

Of course, international steel and rubber prices have not increased because demand in the West has decreased.

Steel merchants or mining tycoons from the United States and Europe have no choice but to get involved in the trading circle of dealers.

This is why the mainland exports so many industrial products, and the response from the United States and Europe is not very strong.

Let me tell you this, mining in any country is a hugely profitable industry that ordinary people cannot enter at all, and those who mine have a lot of dangerous goods in their hands.

Generally speaking, people in technical industries such as factory opening have no background.

Whoever has the background will work hard to open a factory and start the mining machinery immediately.

No technology or management is required. There are many things to worry about when opening a factory, including technology, labor, management, and sales.

If one link is not done well, it will lead to a bad business.

Mining is so simple. If you need it, dig more. If you don't need it, just stay in the ground and you won't be afraid of it running away.

If we make some more connections and change the output and so on, a lot of tax evasion will occur again.

Hong Kong Island dealers are such smart people. If you want to join our trading circle, it is very simple. Just speak for us.

It is not that there are no voices of opposition within the United States and Europe, but if the democratic vote is not passed, it means nothing.

The parliaments in the United States and Europe do not serve ordinary people, but serve capitalists.

When capitalists do not reach a consensus, those citizens do not have the so-called right to know.

You have the right to know, but if the media doesn’t report it, where can you find out?

When Liu Hai traveled through time, someone was interviewing people on Old American Street and asked them the names of several places where conflicts occurred in Eastern Europe. No one knew where they were.

But it does not prevent these citizens from shouting for so-called freedom. Even in modern times, if you go to the streets of Europe and America and ask where Hong Kong Island is, it would be good if 30% of the people know.

Because people in Europe and the United States had already fallen into endless internal friction at that time, they were more concerned about some gender issues around them, toilet problems, and the problems of a new family of people of color moving into the community. As for things far away in Eastern countries, they did not care about them. Will care.

However, Liu Hai still prepared three cars, Renegade, Jimny, and BMW Mini.

These cars need to be good-looking and good-looking, so the BMW Mini is not very suitable for the current domestic road conditions, but it looks more advanced.

Of course, if the junior sister likes big off-road vehicles, that's no problem. To be honest, building a big off-road vehicle is more worry-free.

Liu Hai doesn't need to worry about military off-road vehicles. The spread of technical information from motorcycle factories has already produced various domestic military off-road vehicles and military trucks.

Of course, there will still be a big difference between military and civilian use in later generations, but at this time, the difference is not very big.

When Liu Hai traveled through the country, military trucks had strict technical parameter requirements for explosion-proof, off-road performance, and protective performance, but now there are simply not so many.

No one works overtime today on Sunday, so Liu Hai is the only one who gets off work.

When I returned to the courtyard, I heard the chirping sounds in the back yard, even though Liu Hai lived in the front yard.

This is the audience watching TV, debating various plots on TV.

"The second uncle is shooting himself in the foot." Liu Hai also shook his head.

People nowadays take money very seriously, mainly because they don’t have it.

It's better since everyone is at work. If it's Sunday, the TV is on from morning to night, so the second uncle can turn off the TV for two hours as an excuse.

You said that neighbors came to the door and directly asked the second uncle to turn on the TV, but the neighbors could not save their face.

But if you say you want to charge for electricity, it's enough to pierce someone's spine.

And the electricity bill during this period is not cheap.

Liu Hai first went to the basement, then entered the aircraft carrier space, and drew a sketch of the appearance of several cars. As for the specific design, there was no need to copy it.

There are many yacht magazines on the aircraft carrier, as well as car magazines, and even more beauty magazines.

There are also many DVDs, which can be said to include excellent literary works and film and television works from all over the world.

But these bangs are just for me to admire and pass the time.

Occasionally when I return to my hometown, I can watch TV dramas under the quilt with my tablet on the kang outside the aircraft carrier space.

Because there are no pinhole cameras in this era, there is no need to worry about being seen by people secretly protecting you.

After I finished copying, I came out to cook, and then went to the backyard with a bowl of noodles.

Liu Hai is not the only one like this. The adults and children in the yard all come out with bowls at home when eating. Even if the TV is not broadcast sometimes, the children will stay here and not leave.

"It will be summer vacation in a few days." Liu Hai could imagine that the second uncle would probably be even more angry when it was summer vacation in a few days.

Liu Hai didn't come to watch TV at all, but to watch the fun. When Liu Hai traveled through time, few people watched TV, mainly because no matter what the program was, it was quite nonsense.

Even TV dramas do not need to be logically populated by poor people. Houses of a few hundred square meters in first-tier cities can see landmark buildings right in front of them.

Living here with a salary of 3000 yuan a month is definitely considered poor.

These are just the poor people the director wants you to see, not the real poor people.

In other words, these directors treat you, the audience, as urinals.

However, the actors at this time were very dedicated and acted as they should, but Liu Hai had no interest in watching. Instead, it was more interesting to watch the statues of living beings in the courtyard.

Liu Hai doesn't have to have a meeting this Monday. He has already told the factory director that he will go to the shipyard to arrange work first, and then work as a supervisor at the teacher's side in the afternoon.

The marine low-speed diesel engine on the teacher's side was officially installed today. The technicians in the diesel engine department are very excited because this is the largest diesel engine in the motorcycle factory so far.

The technicians from Dalyan Shipyard were also very excited, because the technical parameters, compression ratio, combustion ratio, etc. of this diesel engine have reached the world's leading level.

Sometimes a small breakthrough can lead to an overall breakthrough.

Don’t underestimate it, this is just a 6000-kilowatt diesel engine, and many of its technologies can be applied to other diesel engines.

The teacher was already waiting here, and Liu Hai acted as the teacher's deputy and began to give instructions together.

In fact, there are no big problems at all so far in the project.

This kind of low-speed diesel engine is used in the field of freight, and now it can be said that China has a great say in the field of shipping.

There are many international shipping companies under a group of dealers, whether they invest in them or build their own ships.

Why are the prices of various materials that dealers bring to the mainland low? Because there is no back-and-forth. Global trade sends cars around the world and sends various materials from around the world back to China.

The freight required by dealers is very low, and the global pricing power of agricultural and sideline products in any era is relatively low. If you ship a shipload of cars or motorcycles to the world, you can ship at least ten shiploads of various materials and supplies to other places.

The lack of food in the world is a joke. The lack of food in some areas is actually intentional by some people.

What causes famine in many parts of the African continent? Is it true that no food is produced?
  It's because some people don't want food produced in certain places to cause conflict.

There is also a superpower that actually controls food very strictly.

The assembly went very smoothly, because there were educated technicians on site, and the motorcycle factory's diesel engine workshop has been around for nearly 10 years, so many technicians have accumulated enough experience and skills.

After this group of people grows up, and the next group of people grows up, there will be no problem with our country's industrialization.

When Liu Hai traveled through time, some private companies made better things than the old American military.

A certain express delivery company commissioned a drone company to manufacture the Twin-Tailed Scorpion UAV, and a certain fishing gear company has brought carbon fiber production technology to the most advanced level in the world, and has sold certain parts to a certain American company. On an advanced fighter jet.

Moreover, after investigating, Lao Mei silently allowed this to happen.

Because the huge profits ranging from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars involve not only businessmen, but also members of Congress, and even the military.

Anyone who touches this thing should prepare to go to heaven.

At the diesel engine assembly site, the most intuitive reflection is that Liu Hai has less time to move his mouth. There is no need for repeated requests and explanations on a single question.

After working overtime until around 9pm, the engine was finally assembled and inspected.

Everyone was very excited and excited, and didn't feel tired at all.

"We will get off work tonight and start test running at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!" Zhu Haiyang, as the project leader, directly announced that he would get off work because test running involves many problems.

So everyone started taking a shower and changing clothes after get off work, and then had an overtime snack.

Except for some production lines that cannot be stopped in the factory, other workshops work overtime until 10 o'clock and then get off work.

The main reason is that at this stage, workers are basically doing manual labor, so they need to reserve enough rest time. If the rest time is not enough, the efficiency will not be improved. If another accident occurs, more things will be delayed.

Liu Hai did not go back tonight, and went directly back to the maintenance department to spend one night.

I got up after six o'clock the next morning, washed up, had a meal and drove to the low-speed diesel engine project team.

It can be seen that everyone did not sleep well last night.

Because everyone's eyes were red, Zhu Haiyang shook his head when he saw Liu Hai's appearance: "You have seen the big world and experienced more. I have almost not slept all night since last night back to this morning!"

"Hey!" What can Liu Hai say? Can he say that this project was designed by me using a supercomputer and plagiarizing some reference materials from aircraft carrier space... Bah, I designed it.

Of course, Liu Hai could not directly show the design drawings to Zhu Haiyang, but watched Zhu Haiyang raise them if there were any problems with the design, and then the two of them discussed it.

Then he asked the teacher to calculate the two problems, and finally adopted Liu Hai's suggestion. Later, Zhu Haiyang became much smarter and would first calculate the feasibility of Liu Hai's suggestion.

The diesel engine test run is not completely assembled like the finished product. The circuit of the starter motor, the oil circuit and even the air inlet will have some measures. On the one hand, various data can be collected, and on the other hand, just in case.

It took more than an hour to check all the relevant issues again.

The maintenance card is densely packed with personnel records, time records, and supervision records.

Sun Aiguo has already arrived here, silently watching everyone busy.

"MTC6000 low-speed diesel engine test run has officially begun." The three words mt c in front of it are the abbreviation of motorcycle factory.

6000 refers to 6000 kilowatts. To be honest, this naming was not proposed by Liu Hai, but by Comrade Zhu Haiyang, and then the leaders of the motorcycle factory unanimously agreed.

Start the motor and start the low-speed diesel engine to run normally. The speed of the low-speed diesel engine is not very high, but the torque of this thing is very large, which can basically reach seven or eight thousand Nm.

Everyone has seen that the propeller of a boat does not spin very fast when the boat is empty, and that is true.

But its blades are very large, usually several meters in diameter, and the amount of water pushed out by one rotation is very large.

Liu Hai could clearly see that the people present breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it can start normally, even if there are problems later, it will just continue to be optimized.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhu!" Sun Aiguo stretched out his hands to shake hands with Zhu Haiyang.

"Thank you for your support, leader!" Zhu Haiyang was also very excited, and others shook hands with each other.

Amidst the noisy sound of the diesel engine, everyone's faces were filled with excitement. Even the middle-aged people in their thirties and forties were flushed with excitement.

After the test run, continue to check, start again after the check, and start successfully again.

Sun Aiguo reported the good news to his superior department in the afternoon. Of course, subsequent tests are still continuing.

As a marine engine, failure rate and life are extremely critical.

This thing is all in the power cabin. If it breaks down in the middle, it will be in big trouble.

Then the department leader came to inspect in person, but by this time Liu Hai had returned to his post, because Liu Hai did not need these credits and did not need to show his face in front of the leader and let other people in the project team and teachers show their faces.

Liu Hai drew the renderings of three cars while working. If the junior sister didn't like them, he would throw the renderings to the dealer in Hong Kong.

I believe they will be very satisfied.

The dealers are more than satisfied, they are simply high-spirited. This summer, the global car sales market will be looking at dog cars.

Low price, super good looks, relatively excellent handling performance, diversified colors, diversified combinations, not only trailer tow hooks, but also luggage racks.

There are also various configuration options.

Even though the total domestic production now reaches more than 4000 units per day, the order quantity of 30 is still overwhelming.

Since production started at the beginning of the year, a total of more than 50 units have been produced and more than 40 units have been delivered.

But it is obvious that the market has strong stamina. Many people in Europe and the United States are even willing to increase the price to purchase cars, but this is impossible.

Rover Motors is not sure whether there are other interest groups involved behind the scenes. After all, if the issue of increasing the price of cars is magnified, it will be very detrimental to the company.

The higher the sales volume, the lower the voice of doubt from the outside, because the higher the sales volume, the more interest groups will be attracted.

No car is a match for the Dog Car, not even the Beetle, which is in the same class as the Dog Car.

Because the production cost of the Beetle has soared, the first is the welfare of workers in the automobile industry, and the other is the cost of raw materials.

The circular trade controlled by dealers allows all bulk materials to flow domestically.

Shipping industrial products from the mainland and then shipping various raw materials back will reduce transportation costs by a large amount.

Not to mention dealers deploying in upstream industries, mining, rubber, smelting, plastics and other industries.

If one is your own company and the other is an outsider, then the prices offered by dealers will definitely be different.

Although it is only July, dealers have already set their sights on Christmas this year.

The Red Fox sports car will serve as another flagship model and will once again hit other car manufacturers hard.

"The upstart oil dealers in North America are willing to cooperate with us and let our cars enter their markets!" The dealers sat together in a meeting and talked about a major cooperation intention.

"I don't think it's necessary. Those rude and despicable guys might have other plans in mind."

"As long as we don't sell in their country, they won't be able to tell us what to do!"

"We have reached an intention to cooperate with the North American Trucking Association, and we don't need to look at the face of their energy group at all."

"I think that's the case. Now we sell more than 1000 vehicles in Canada every day, and 80% of them are transported to all parts of North America through the Trucking Association."

"In fact, we also recommend that buyers transport through trucking associations, because traveling by car is a very dangerous thing, and it is full of dangers in a sparsely populated environment."

"Then reject them!"

"I agree."

"We don't want to enter their market. We want to quarrel with the Canadians next door. If they ban Canadian cars from entering their country, isn't this what we want to see?"

"In that case, we could re-enter North America."

"The three major North American automakers have entered the South Asian subcontinent. The next step is for us to take control of their unions and then raise wages!"

"Don't the South Asian subcontinent need democracy? Let's be more democratic."

"North American car manufacturers are too naive. Raising wages is fatal to any factory owner."

"Let them build it first, and then we let the unions take action. Those bureaucrats in the subcontinent will definitely burn down 1-dollar factories for one dollar."

"It's very simple. The $1 belongs to the factory owner, but the one dollar in your pocket is truly yours."

"We are just waiting to see what happens. If they don't raise wages, then we will let politicians come out and criticize them for not being liberal and democratic enough."

"Those damn congressmen used these methods to put all the property of our nobles into their pockets. At the highest point, they even collected 97% of our taxes."

"Now it's our turn. The next step is to vigorously sponsor those scholars and let these scholars fight with those factory groups and even capitalists. As nobles, we just watch the show, which is nothing more than sponsoring some research and development expenses."

"I'm looking forward to Christmas. The only problem now is the lack of production capacity."

"Don't worry, everyone, it won't be long before we will be able to acquire equipment from other bankrupt auto manufacturers and sell them to the East."

"The current production capacity is sufficient. After the civilian sports car is launched at Christmas, the number of orders for dog cars will decrease."

"What's missing now are shipping vessels, especially ships for transporting cars and other vehicles."

"Let's first see if Dongfang has the ability to produce it?"

"The labor costs in the East are relatively cheap. If we can build cargo ships in the mainland, we can save at least [-] to [-]% of the cost."

"The shipbuilding capabilities of the East are too poor and the infrastructure is too weak."

"We will have a huge demand for ships in the future. If we save 20% on one ship, then the quantity we need will be huge, and the cost savings will be considerable."

"Convey our results to the person in charge on Hong Kong Island, and I suggest that we start promoting the Red Fox sports car."

“This can take some of the pressure off ordering dog cars.”

"It can be turned on."

"Just in time for the global summer vacation."

“What to do with the rubber base in Southeast Asia?”

"Find an agent in the South Asian subcontinent to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment from the Bear Country. First support some agents, and then conduct a referendum. Later, we and the other two federal countries can intervene. Our navy has a great advantage. "

"There is no country that has been beaten by cowboys. Based on the current situation, it seems that the cowboys must have failed. Let's take this opportunity to resettle some of the loser's soldiers in the name of rescue."

"Let them handle matters on land from now on."

"Of course, no problem. We can also recruit more Asian soldiers." A group of dealers decided that a certain country is destined to spend its time in the smoke of gunfire in the future.

For current dealers, they are not afraid of spending money. As long as they can control upstream resources, everything is easy.

Upstream resources are directly related to the entire industrial chain, even transportation, processing, etc.

And if you don't seize the upstream resources, others will probably make a fuss about it. As a noble, you have seen many dirty tricks.

It just so happens that other manufacturers have no spare time to develop these things, and dealers are taking the lead in laying out the layout.

On the first Sunday of July, the little junior sister’s eyes were shining as she looked at the renderings of the Liberty car.

"Senior brother, how much does it cost to manufacture this car?" The junior sister looked at the renderings of the red Liberty and asked with bright eyes.

"It's all about money. When you get your driver's license next year, you can see the car." Liu Hai treats this little junior sister like a younger sister, whom she has watched since childhood.

And it's not just a prototype car, you can also buy it with your own money, and there is indeed a need for a high-end car in the country.

After all, who is not a leader? It is impossible to export all good things abroad.

Although no one is criticizing or anything like that now, what needs to be done is still done.

"Really?" The junior sister still looked a little worried. After all, this car looked very high-end.

"A cousin of mine can still tell lies." Liu Hai also felt that Freeman is suitable for the current country, and Jimny is a bit too small.

But the Jimny is more suitable for foreign countries. Liu Hai remembers that Jackie Chan had an off-road vehicle in a certain movie. It seemed to be produced by a small book.

So the junior sister chose the remaining two car renderings and sent them to the dealers in Hong Kong Island.

The dealers in Hong Kong are speechless. This designer from the mainland is so perverted.

But I like it. Of course, in terms of parameters, the bangs of a small off-road vehicle will definitely not be as shabby as the Jimny, which is just industrial garbage.

After all, the reputation as the top designer of Kyoto Motorcycle Factory is always needed.

The main frame of the passenger ship on Liu Hai's side has been completed, including the installation of various systems.

The next step is to test the various systems and then proceed with the interior fit-out.

News that dealers on Hong Kong Island need ocean-going freighters has also been sent to the mainland.

This made the leaders in charge of the shipbuilding industry feel that it was such a coincidence.

Comrade Zhu Haiyang developed and designed the low-speed diesel engine manufactured by the motorcycle factory. Although it has not yet passed the acceptance test, as a leader, he is always paying attention to this engine. The overall performance is among the best in the same level and is very good.

A [-]-ton ocean freighter is actually not complicated. The key lies in its power system.

This is no bigger than a super-large cargo ship of hundreds of thousands of tons or tens of thousands of tons.

And what dealers need are freighters for transporting cars and industrial products. The internal structure is like a layer-by-layer parking lot.

Of course, if this is not possible, you can also ask a European ship designer team to design it. I believe the dealer will not refuse this proposal.

This kind of cargo ship with a capacity of [-] tons is not considered a big deal in Europe and the United States.

What's the key? The key is that dealers want a larger quantity, at least 1 ships in the first batch.

"Isn't this a big problem?" In the office of Liu Hai Shipyard, Sun Aiguo was asking Liu Hai this question.

"The superior department now has two ideas. One is to design it independently, and the other is to ask the dealer to design it?" Sun Aiguo said.

"As a veteran maritime power, Daiying has a great advantage. It can be designed by them, and it will be easy to talk to during the later acceptance." Liu Hai prefers to let foreign designers design, because this way he can learn a lot.

　I still can only update once. Sorry, it’s still [-] o’clock tomorrow. Maybe I’ll get back to you later. I just want to write more.
