We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

In the governor's office, the lights in the conference room seemed brighter than day in the dark night outside.

It should have been time to get off work at this time, but because the matter was urgent, we had to urgently call the relevant personnel over for a meeting.

"Everyone is here, please take a seat." After asking everyone to take their seats quickly, Governor Li, who was sitting at the main seat, did not waste words or be polite.

"I called you here this time to inform you of something. The higher-ups have approved the restructuring plan of Dalian Shipyard. Dalian Shipyard will introduce foreign capital to establish a joint-stock enterprise."

With just these few words, the whole audience fell silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment's silence, the Binhai prefect spoke.

"Governor Li, the Dallion Shipyard is now developing well and is a major foreign exchange earner for our city and even our province. Do we need to reconsider this matter?

And isn't it inappropriate not to ask for our opinions on such a big matter?"

At this time, there are not many companies that can develop well, have potential, have a future and support finances, so the Binhai prefect must speak out, as this is related to his career.

Governor Li glanced at the other person and understood what he was thinking, but he didn't get angry either. He closed the notebook on the table in front of him and his tone became noticeably higher.

"Consider it? How to consider it? Do you go and talk to the higher-ups or do I do it? I told you that this is a notice, not a request for your opinions.

The purpose of today's meeting is to tell you to go back and do your work well and actively cooperate to better promote this joint venture reform.

And I support this matter. You all know how good our shipbuilding technology is, without me having to tell you.

Introducing foreign capital can bring in better technology and build larger ships. Isn't that better for earning foreign exchange?

We can't just be satisfied with the current 20,000-ton bulk carriers, right? With the technology, we can also build Panamax ships and more types of ships, not just limited to the current bulk carriers."

Governor Li's words did make sense, and everyone present understood this.

But things cannot be viewed from only one perspective. You have to know that the Dallion Shipyard has a national defense mission.

Introducing foreign capital means that national defense missions can no longer be retained. So what should be done with the current orders?

If the joint venture fails, Dalyan Shipyard will have little chance of making a comeback. With so many domestic shipyards, it is impossible for other shipyards to give up their defense orders, and the higher-ups will not give them any.

"This is a gamble. Is it too much of a leap? I think..."

Governor Li interrupted the other party before he could finish speaking and said, "I said, I am informing you, not discussing with you, and strictly speaking, you, Binhai, have no say in the Dallion Shipyard."

Seeing the other party's face full of resentment and hesitation, Governor Li continued, "This matter was proposed by the Luo family and the higher-ups. You should understand the content and significance of this matter without me saying it, otherwise the higher-ups would not agree to this matter.

The above means that if you take a gamble and lose, you will only lose a shipyard.

If we win, not only will our annual foreign exchange earnings increase significantly, but it will also be a huge accumulation of experience for our national defense.

Besides, the higher-ups believe that the chance of failure of this thing is less than 20%. As long as the Luo family is willing to cover the bottom line, the Dallion Shipyard will never go bankrupt."

Yes, it was Luo Nianzhong who drove all this.

Years later, Luo Nianzhong met Master Dong through the introduction of Huo Daheng.

The talks went well between the two parties. Luo Nianzhong agreed to raise US$10 billion in cash for Orient Overseas through capital injection and loans. This money was enough for Orient Overseas to completely get rid of the suffocating burden on its back and develop normally. The Luo family also officially entered the shipping industry through the Dong family's Orient Overseas.

As soon as the matter of Orient Overseas was settled, Welch, who had returned from Wall Street, brought Luo Nianzhong another piece of news.

That is, the shipbuilding industry in the United States has ushered in a wave of bankruptcies, and a large number of South Korean companies are poaching people from the United States.

The most important and valuable asset of the shipbuilding industry is shipbuilding talents. Now that there is such an opportunity to obtain a large number of shipbuilding talents at a low price, Luo Nianzhong does not want to miss it.

Moreover, the number of ships that the Luo family will need in the future is huge, so it would be better to build a few shipyards for fun.

On the one hand, Luo Nianzhong notified the South Korean Cui family to increase investment in the shipbuilding industry. On the other hand, Luo Nianzhong directly contacted Rabbit, intending to find a shipyard to cooperate with to make preparations for both situations.

The suggestion to find Rabbit was actually given to Luo Nianzhong by the charter king, otherwise Luo Nianzhong would not have had this idea.

Hong Kong Island is too small to build a large shipyard, so Luo Nianzhong approached the ship charter king to learn from him.

It was from him that Luo Nianzhong realized that the current shipbuilding technology of Rabbit was not as backward as he had imagined, and that there was a possibility and foundation for rapid development.

It turns out that as early as 1980, the charter king had made Global Shipping Group and Rabbit sign a shipbuilding contract with a total value of US$ million.

Global Shipping commissioned Rabbit to build six 20,000-ton bulk carriers for lake navigation, and Dalyan Shipyard undertook the project.

At that time, Rabbit's shipbuilding standards were set by Polar Bear or itself, but Global Shipping required the other party to comply with international standards.

From big things like the construction process adopting the guidance specifications of the British Lloyd's Register, the manufacturing is the island country's JSQS standard, the pipes and cables use the island country's JIS level, the painting is required to meet the Swedish SA2.5 level, etc., to small things like the size of the wall lights and shoe cabinets in the crew lounge, there are strict requirements.

Not to mention manufacturing, even the famous Shanghai 708 Institute, the designer, was worried because they had no experience.

However, since the client has made the request, we can only follow the standard, which caused great suffering to Dallion Shipyard during the construction process.

Take paint for example. In the past, the Dalyan Shipyard would just apply it casually, covering the entire steel plate.

But it’s different now. Party A’s inspectors use instruments to test every day. If the paint is too thin, it won’t work. If the paint is too thick, it won’t work either. Even if the weather is bad, work cannot start.

In the end, there was no choice but for Dallion Shipyard to organize technical personnel to sort out all the difficult problems, and everyone lived and ate in simple shacks built next to the slipway.

Finally, they divided the entire ship into 122 sections, which involved multiple processes such as lofting, material selection, cutting, assembly, and welding, all of which were assigned to each person.

In this way, the Great Wall, manufactured according to international modern standards, was finally completed on time, and it also made Rabbit's shipbuilding technology achieve a qualitative leap.

In the six years from 1980 to now, Rabbit has signed export orders for more than ships, bringing the shipbuilding industry to the world and earning a large amount of foreign exchange.

It was the information from the charter king that made Luo Nianzhong change his mind and take the initiative to contact the other party.

Since the technology of Dallion Shipyard is not as backward as Luo Nianzhong imagined, Luo Nianzhong doesn't mind speeding up the Rabbit's shipbuilding industry.

Among the large number of unemployed shipbuilding industry talents in the United States, there are many Asians and Eastern Europeans.

It is not a problem to recruit some of these talents to work in Binhai, which will enable the technical workers of Dalyan Shipyard to learn a lot of technical experience and achieve qualitative sublimation.

Another point is that Luo Nianzhong hopes to promote the development and progress of other industries through the shipbuilding industry, such as steel, heavy industry, and ship supporting industries.

Once we take over the Dalyan Shipyard, we can use it as a springboard to invest in these industries.
