Chapter 191 The Idea of the Arctic Passage
Especially when used in conjunction with the oil tankers previously manufactured by the 704 Shipyard, huge profits can be obtained.
If the Suez Canal is blocked, the oil tankers of the 704 Shipyard can transport oil to the country or other Asian countries through the Arctic waterway. In this way, the 704 Shipyard will gain huge profits.
Opening the Arctic sea route will give the furry bear a share of the pie, so don’t let it collapse so quickly.
Because once Mao Xiong falls, the global situation will change dramatically, especially the relationship between Yan Guo and Yingjiang.
Originally, the two countries were in a honeymoon period, but with the fall of the bear, they may become hostile.
The political systems of the two countries are different.
A half-dead big brother can help distract the attention of countries around the world and allow Yan Country to develop even more rapidly.
As for whether the furry bear will get up?
Please, with your last breath, can you still come back to life?
It turns out that Lin Chenran has a very long-term view.
Of course, he did not explain it in detail to the 704 Shipyard.
Just tell them that the 704 shipyard can benefit from the opening of the Arctic sea lanes.
After hearing this, the senior management of 704 Shipyard immediately became interested.
If a new waterway can really be opened, even if this waterway is not as busy as the Suez Canal, but one-third as busy as the other side, it will be profitable for the 704 Shipyard.
“Do it!”
The senior management of 704 Shipyard looked at each other.
They all feel that it is profitable to build large icebreakers.
As the director of 704 Shipyard, Pan Xueming immediately stated: "Mr. Lin, large icebreakers will be developed simultaneously, which will take about two to three months."
" You also know that our 704 shipyard has no experience in designing, developing and manufacturing large icebreakers, and we need to start from scratch.”
When Lin Chenran heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said calmly: "No problem, there's no rush."
"I still need to discuss with domestic high-level officials and the military, as well as with Mao Xiong. Especially Mao Xiong.”
“If cooperation is reached, large icebreakers will be needed to maintain the smooth flow of Arctic shipping lanes.”
This may be a long negotiation.
......
Pan Xueming stood in front of the 704 Shipyard building, watching for a long time the vehicle Lin Chenran was riding in gradually moved away until it disappeared from sight.
After Lin Chenran and the 077 Machinery Arsenal's convoy disappeared completely, Pan Xueming turned around, faced the senior leaders of the 704 Shipyard behind him and said: "Go back and continue the meeting."
Discuss in detail matters regarding cutter suction dredgers and large icebreakers.
Determine the project leader, as well as the required personnel and resources.
……
When Lin Chenran returned to the 077 Machinery Arsenal after leaving the 704 Shipyard, night had fallen, but the entire factory area was brightly lit.
Lin Chenran dragged his tired body to the canteen in the factory area, ate something in a hurry to fill his stomach, and then returned to his dormitory.
He simply finished washing and then fell on the bed. After a while, a slight snoring sound echoed in the room.
Lin Chenran is really too tired!
During this period, I was busy with the development of the 077 Machinery Arsenal and the 704 Shipyard, and barely had a good rest.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window and illuminated Lin Chenran's dormitory, he was still immersed in a sweet dream.
After a while, Lin Chenran woke up from his sleep. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched deeply, and felt the fresh air and warm sunshine in the morning.
"Ah! I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time." Lin Chenran murmured to himself, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He realized that he had been busy with work during this period and had neglected his body.
Lin Chenran raised his hand gently, looked at his watch and muttered in a low voice: "Ah! It's already half past nine?" "Late!!!"
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chenran quickly got up, packed the quilt, washed briefly, and then went to work.
At the same time, the top management of 077 Machinery Military Factory discovered for the first time that their factory director was late!
The high-level meeting of 077 Machinery Military Factory is held briefly every day.
Sometimes when Lin Chenran is not around, Song Xiyun or other senior officials will hold the meeting.
Lin Chenran came to the conference room in a hurry,
he apologized to the senior management of 077 Machinery Military Factory present: "Sorry, everyone, I'm late!"
Song Xiyun on the side asked with concern: "Mr. Lin, it's okay, you are also tired during this period!"
The other senior executives of the 077 Machinery Military Factory echoed incessantly.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chenran asked the executives of the 077 Machinery Military Factory present to briefly talk about the current status of each department and each project.
After an hour, the meeting ended.
Lin Chenran asked Song Xiyun to follow him to the office. After entering the office, Lin Chenran asked Song Xiyun to sit down and poured him a glass of water himself.
Then he smiled and said to Song Xiyun: "Mr. Song, I have a plan here, and I need you to help me refer to it."
After hearing this, Song Xiyun felt very curious.
Lin Chenran then said: "The plan is like this..."
Song Xiyun listened carefully, with a surprised expression on his face.
The plan proposed by Lin Chenran turned out to be about opening the Arctic waterway in spring and winter.
"Chen Ran, do you really plan to open this channel?" Song Xiyun asked.
After listening to this, Song Xiyun was very surprised.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chenran would target this Arctic waterway.
In fact, ships now pass through the Arctic waterways.
Especially in summer when the temperature is high.
Lin Chenran, on the other hand, wanted to have the 704 Shipyard build large icebreakers, and then open the way for cargo ships and oil tankers to ensure the smooth flow of waterways in winter.
Song Xiyun had to admire his factory director’s “unconstrained” ideas.
"Mr. Song, do you think there is a plan?"
Lin Chenran wanted to hear the thoughts of his "think tank".
Song Xiyun smiled slightly: "There is a plan!"
"But..."
Opening the spring and winter Arctic shipping lanes is not an easy task. It requires a lot of effort. Icebreakers to ensure the safety of waterways.
If you want to successfully open this channel, you must cooperate with the furry bear.
Almost the entire Arctic Circle is within the furry bear's sphere of influence.
If they are unwilling to cooperate and even deliberately block the waterway, then the opening of the winter Arctic waterway can only become an empty talk.
Lin Chenran said confidently: "It is not difficult to deal with the furry bears. As long as we can let them see the benefits without requiring them to pay, they will naturally be willing to open the Arctic shipping lanes for us in spring and winter."
Lin Chenran figured out the context of Mao Xiong’s senior management.
The furry bears are very weak now, and they also want to open a "money path" to increase their chips.
Since the factory director Lin Chenran can talk to the bear, the plan to open the Arctic waterway this spring and winter can go ahead.
