At present, there are only two manufacturers in the world that can manufacture Invar steel, one is France and the other is Mingzhou in the East. Now, since the Mingzhou Steel Plant cannot provide Invar steel in time, you can also ask France for help!

"The output in France is less than one-tenth of Mingzhou Group's. It can only supply European shipyards, and we can't order them at all," Zheng Zhenze said.

If possible, they would of course go to France to purchase. The problem is that there is no stock there.

"In other words, we have tried our best." Qin Tao said: "Our output is ten times that of the French, and our prices are also lower than the French, which is enough to show our sincerity, so please persist.

Wait, when we continue to expand our production capacity, we will definitely be able to meet your needs."

Of course Zheng Zhenze would not be fooled back by such a few words. He looked at Qin Tao and continued: "Well, please give me an accurate time point as to when we can get the goods. We have already received a large number of goods.

Order, if we don’t get the goods, we will face high compensation!”

They are very anxious!

"I can't promise this. I just say as soon as possible. After all, we are friends. We also jointly built a shipyard together. Therefore, as long as we have excess production capacity, we will definitely provide it to you. I can use my

Guarantee of character.”

Ordinarily, Mr. Qin had a high position and was very powerful in vouching for his personality. However, Zheng Zhenze did not take it seriously. After all, he was not a three-year-old child anymore. How could such a thing be fooled by just a few words.

However, if he continues to demand, it will seem like he is going too far. His mind is spinning rapidly, and something suddenly comes to his mind: "Mr. Qin, if we continue to order the liquid cargo fence system from you, it will be like the one currently being built.

Are they the same as those ice-breaking natural gas ships?”

Everyone in the industry can see that natural gas ships are the most profitable projects in the future. Therefore, their three-line heavy industry must also get involved in the construction of natural gas ships as soon as possible. Due to various factors, they did not choose the MOSS tanks used by island country shipbuilding companies, but chose

The leading film type of the generation.

Just after they finished negotiating with the Mingzhou Group, Damao placed an order for eight ice-breaking natural gas ships. Although they had not finished the relevant work at that time, they took over the order. They only built the hull and put the above

The liquid cargo fence system was handed over to Mingzhou Group for production.

Now, the first relevant system produced by Mingzhou Group has been delivered to them, and their order for eight ships will not be delayed.

Therefore, if they cannot obtain Yinwa Steel directly, they can continue to order the entire liquid cargo fence system. As long as they can use it first, they can avoid order breaches.

"Of course, but it also depends on the order situation of the shipyard over there. If the orders there are urgent, your orders will also have to be queued later." Qin Tao nodded.

Although the shipyard also has shares in Sanhang Heavy Industry, they only pay dividends, and all production and operation decisions are made by Mingzhou people. Even if they ask for help in production, they may not be able to be ranked.

Xu Zhengyang chuckled secretly on the side. This Zheng Zhenze looks so pitiful. However, this is just the beginning. Mr. Qin has long made a huge plan. Waiting for the right opportunity, Sanxing Heavy Industry will also have to leave Zeng Dazhou Heavy Industry.

The old path even brought the entire Three Bank Group to its knees.

"However, since Mr. Zheng is already here, we can't let him go back empty-handed. Zhengyang, please say hello to the steel factory and ask them to send ten tons of goods to Sanhang Heavy Industry first." Qin Tao said.

"Yes." Xu Zhengyang nodded.

At this time, Zheng Zhenze really had nothing else to say. Although ten tons of Yinwa steel was pitifully less than a natural gas ship, it was still a gain after all.

After sending Zheng Zhenze away, Xu Zhengyang said: "Mr. Qin, the Sanhang Group also has a steel plant. They have been made such a difficult situation. After they return, will they develop advanced Yinwa Steel themselves?"

Qin Tao smiled: "The technology of Yinwa Steel is not so easy for them to figure out. It requires repeated exploration. Moreover, they want to produce Yinwa Steel

Steel requires a large amount of nickel ore. Without this kind of thing, they cannot produce it even if they have the technology. Moreover, there is another crucial problem that they cannot solve."

"what is the problem?"

"Certification." Qin Tao said: "Even if they produce Yinwa steel, as long as we say that their production is unqualified, it cannot be used on our patented membrane ship. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it has nothing to do with us.

!」

In this industry, those who enter first will be spoiled for choice, while those who enter later will have no chance at all.

Although Mingzhou Group entered the market late, they came up with a more advanced liquid cargo fence system. In exchange, the French recognized that the Invar steel produced by Mingzhou Group reached the level of their local production and could fully meet the requirements of natural gas ships.

use.

In later generations, there are still only two countries in the world that can produce Yinwa steel, and other manufacturers can only purchase goods from these two manufacturers.

Even if a third country develops it, it cannot be used without certification. They want to use it, but shipowners are worried!

Relying on this, the three lines of heavy industry can be stuck.

Xu Zhengyang nodded.

"Next, if you have time, you have to go to Lao Maozi and buy more nickel ore." Qin Tao said.

"We have bought a lot of iron ore, and the steel plant seems to be complaining that there is no place to store it." Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tao.

"Complain? How dare they complain? Don't they know how many people in the country are jealous of our iron ore?" Qin Tao was speechless: "Let's find an open space from our shipyard."

Anyway, the land circled initially is enough, and it can be used as a temporary cargo yard.

Zheng Zhenze went back with disappointment. After meeting Mr. Li, he complained for a while.

"They first supply their own production, and then the production of other eastern shipyards. We are ranked third, and it is not our turn to obtain a large amount of Yinwa steel!" Zheng Zhenze said: "They must have done this on purpose.

!」

"What I want to hear is not complaints, but specific steps to be taken!" Mr. Li glanced at Zheng Zhenze: "If the construction period is delayed, it will not do us any good! You need to bear the losses of the shipyard yourself, don't expect the group to pay.

You invest!"

How to do it?

Zheng Zhenze gritted his teeth: "There are only two factories in the world that can produce Yinwa steel. Their production capacity is not high, and they give priority to supplying their old customers. If we want to vigorously develop natural gas ships in the future, then we need to do it ourselves."

Produce Yinwa steel!"

He has no other choice.

If you don’t produce it yourself, you will have to be controlled by others.

"Then start this project as soon as possible to completely solve our problems." Mr. Li also made a decision. After all, they had no other choice.

"yes."

"If you want to build a natural gas ship, do you have to use Invar steel? Don't the islanders don't have it?" Mr. Li continued to ask.

"They use a MOSS tank structure, which is made of aluminum alloy. We use a membrane type, which requires Invar steel. Moreover, the membrane type has gradually become the mainstream."

Zheng Zhenze was experienced in this area and immediately started analyzing it.

Mr. Li listened very carefully.

The development of Sanhang Heavy Industry cannot be separated from natural gas ships. No matter how difficult this road is, they have no other choice and must go on bravely!

They didn't know what was waiting for them ahead.

In Mingzhou, Qin Tao didn't feel relaxed either. There were so many people coming to visit him.

"Mr. Qin, you held the Capital International Defense Exhibition very successfully in the first half of the year, so we sincerely invite you to be the planner of our Zhuhai Air Show. With your planning, we will definitely be able to hold the Zhuhai Air Show."

It will become a major international air show." In the office, a middle-aged man was sincerely extending an invitation to Qin Tao.

"I'm sorry, I'm very busy at work and don't have time to go there." Qin Tao refused directly.

Just kidding, I look like

Are you such a free person? Are you going to be a planner for others? If you have this time, wouldn’t it be nice to rest more by yourself?

"Mr. Qin, this is our first domestic air show!" The visitor was obviously looking forward to it.

"Well, if I have time, I will go there to visit, but I'd better forget about being a planner. I am a shipbuilder and I am not very familiar with aviation. However, our J-31A will definitely pass by."

Qin Tao said: "This time it is likely that there will not only be a static display, but also several actions."

"Also, you can invite Da Mao's aerobatics team. With their performances, the air show will be even more exciting."

Since Qin Tao didn't have time to plan for them, they could only leave with regret, but some of the plans Qin Tao proposed gave them some inspiration.

"It's a pity that we haven't built a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet yet. If the vertical take-off and landing aircraft can fly at the next air show, then we must go to the scene and put on a wonderful show," Qin Tao said.

Conventional take-off and landing aircraft can no longer impress the audience. After all, this aircraft has been constantly exposed. Military fans are already familiar with this aircraft. There is nothing new about it, but a vertical take-off and landing fighter aircraft will be more interesting.

Eye-catching.

"Mr. Qin, they are already assembling vertical take-off and landing fighter planes over there. If it is just a cover for vertical take-off and landing, maybe we can actually try it." Xu Zhengyang said.

"What did you say?" Now it was Qin Tao's turn to be surprised: "So fast?"

"Yes, the main reason is that our vertical take-off and landing power system has been tested many times on the ground and needs to be installed on the aircraft for further experiments. Of course, it is still far from success. At present, it can only take off and land vertically.

Can't fly levelly."

For a vertical takeoff and landing fighter, the most difficult thing is not vertical takeoff and landing, nor normal flight, but the transition between these two states. Most crashes occur during this process.

"As long as we can ensure the safety of vertical takeoff and landing, we can show it and tell the world our strength!" Qin Tao was very excited.

Qin Tao is really not very interested in participating in the Zhuhai Air Show. After all, he is a shipbuilder. However, since the J-31A has made such great progress, of course it needs to be shown to the outside world to let the whole world know.

See the powerful strength of this fighter plane!

If there were no Qin Tao, then this Zhuhai Air Show would be dominated by many backward second-generation aircraft. After all, the only aircraft that are available in China are the J-7 and J-8, but because of Qin Tao’s

If it exists, the quality of the entire air show will be raised to the highest level!

Within two days, another department under the Mingzhou Group came to make a request.

"President Qin, our starship company also requests to participate in the air show." Wan Zhenfu came over and said to Qin Tao.

An air show is an aerospace exhibition. In addition to aviation equipment, there must also be aerospace equipment. Starship Company will never miss this opportunity.
