Chapter 204 (1/2)

After arranging some matters of Berlin consumer electronics exhibition and Frankfurt auto show, baozixuan returned to Xiangjiang. Huaxia has officially identified deep-sea city as a special economic zone. Huo Yingdong organized a group of Xiangjiang businessmen to support it according to the needs of the country. See if you can invest and build factories in the deep sea and consider it for the country at this old time. Many times, they use their influence to bring Xiangjiang businessmen to invest in the mainland, and they have also invested in many large-scale projects.

After baozixuan returned to Xiangjiang, he just rested at home for a day and came to Huo's house early in the morning. Where many Xiangjiang tycoons have arrived in advance. When they saw baozixuan coming, everyone greeted him.

Dong Haoyun: ”Xiao Bao, I haven't seen you for months, but your handwriting is getting bigger and bigger. Just after acquiring Hutchison Whampoa, I bought two auto brands in the United States, and the sales reached more than $1 billion at the exhibition. Your boy has made more money in the past two years than we have in the past 20 years. ”

Bao Zixuan: ”Dong is joking. It's just a fluke. Compared with your predecessors, I still have a long way to go, but Mr. Dong hasn't seen you for a few months. I see you look much better. Is there any happy event? ”

Dong Haoyun: ”it's Xiao Bao who knows me. I've just started the oil tanker with the largest displacement in the world. After completion, it will certainly make the shipping business of the Dong family a higher level.”

Hearing this, baozixuan knows that sometimes history is really difficult to change. Due to the foundation of cooperation with black cloud, Dong Haoyun has a growing appetite. ”He strives for the first place in the world. At that time, the largest oil tanker was 60000 tons, and he wanted to order 80000 tons; When others develop to 100000 tons, he wants 120000 tons. ” Since 1967, Dong Haoyun has successively ordered 3 batches of VLCC with a load of more than 220000 tons from RB Sasebo shipyard and several other shipyards, 6 in each batch, a total of 18. The first two batches of 220000 ton VLCC have entered the stage of more than 300000 ton ULCC. In this way, 18 very large oil tankers have formed a huge fleet. Such a great spirit is so vast that the world is stunned!

Dong Haoyun did not stop. Later, he bought 360000 tons of ”Brazil glory” and 380000 tons of ”Brazil ambition”. But this is not the climax of the story.

In 1976, a Greek shipowner ordered a 420000 ton oil tanker at the zhuiban shipyard of Rb Sumitomo heavy industries in Yokosuka. However, the Greek went bankrupt before the oil tanker was completed. In 1979, the tanker fell into Dong Haoyun's hands.

But Dong Haoyun doesn't think it's big enough. He is determined to be the first in the world, even if it is only a little bigger. So he handed the subject to chief engineer Huang CIFA. After careful design and calculation, the Huang CI method came up with a new idea: cut the middle of a 420000 ton ship and add a section. This added 140000 tons and became the ”sea giant” with 564763 deadweight tons.

On December 19, 1980, the ”sea giant” was successfully launched, which caused a sensation in Rb and the world. It deserves to be the largest ship in the world. It is more than 120 meters longer and eight times heavier than the world's largest aircraft carrier - the US Navy Nimitz class aircraft carrier! The development of oil tankers to the ”giant at sea” can be described as the highest and unprecedented. So far, they are unparalleled“ The ”sea giant” is the greatest masterpiece of mankind on the sea. The surging and winding track behind it reminds people of the greatest masterpiece of mankind on land - the great wall of China!

”Maritime giant” also marks the peak of Dong Haoyun's shipping career. In 1928, a 16-year-old boy entered the shipping industry. After decades of rough waves, he finally established a powerful fleet with 150 ships and more than 11 million gross tons - twice that of the Greek ship king Onassis. He and Bao Yugang, another Ningbo native, ascended the throne of ”world ship king” like two peaks in the clouds!

But now I don't know how to persuade Dong Haoyun that the sea giant is the peak of the Dong family's career and the source of almost bankruptcy. With the intensification of the oil crisis, it has brought about the shipping crisis. The Dong family almost went bankrupt because of this. Fortunately, both sons are very capable. In addition, Dong Haoyun had many friends before his death. Everyone helped at the critical moment! It seems that we can only give some money to help the Dong family tide over the difficulties, but we should remind them.

Bao Zixuan: ”Mr. Dong, the current oil market is very unstable. There may not be too many tankers in the future. I think it's better to buy more freighters. ”

Dong Haoyun is now bent on surpassing Bao Yugang to become the world's first ship king, but Bao Xuan still listens to some of his words. It's not a good thing to know that things will turn around when they reach the extreme. It seems that some tanker purchase contracts will be reduced in the future. This is also a disguised way to help the Dong family!

Huo Yingdong came over and said, ”little Bao, we are ready for you. But this time you set an example for Xiangjiang businessmen. Even American auto brands have been bought by you. This has greatly boosted the ambition of our Xiangjiang businessmen. ”

Bao Zixuan: ”Huo Lao flatters me. These are insignificant compared with your previous feats.”
