Although it is said that it is Han Huaiyi who is driving today, it is actually a little strange for Ma Dangman to get down from the co-pilot and open the door for the driver.

However, in this year, the foreigner's move to open the door for the Chinese is indeed surprising.

When Wei Yungong, who was in his early thirties, saw Han Huaiyi, who was arrogant, his first reaction was that this young man's temperament was worthy of this posture.

Wei Litao stepped forward and asked in not very fluent English: "Sir, are you Mr. Madangman and Mr. Han from the New Rome Comptoir?" ”

"It's us." Han Huaiyi said in Chinese, and then said with a smile: "May I ask who is the head of Wei Yungong's office." ”

At this time, Wei Yungong is not the general office, and his official appointment will be next year, and there is some resistance.

But this information cannot be known to people who are not in the inner circle.

So Wei Yungong was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't deny it.

When he met Han Huaiyi, he continued to guess his intentions and pondered Han Huaiyi's origins.

But the former he can wait for the other party to say, but he can't ask the latter rashly.

For a while, Han Huaiyi gave him a feeling that the dragon in the clouds and fog could not see the end.

When the two sides went to the office where the dockyard was located and sat down, Wei Yungong found that Ma Dangman was headed by Han Huaiyi, and he was even more curious, so he broke the silence and asked, "Mr. Han, Mr. Ma Dangman, what are you two looking for me?" ”

"I heard that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has the idea of separating the shipbuilding industry." After Han Huaiyi said a word, he said what he meant, and he said: "And I am interested in participating in the marine transportation industry after returning to China." The cycle of purchasing and repairing ships abroad is long, so I will come here to see if you are willing to do so. ”

Wei Yungong was already shocked when he heard him say the inside story of "splitting the ship industry", and then listening to his "will", he couldn't help but look at his nephew.

There is a kind of meaning in your eyes that you and he don't leak secrets.

Wei Litao was also very surprised by this.

Mr. Han, are you going to buy a boat? This, this is really in line with the urgent need of our uncle and nephew.

At present, Wei Yungong is working hard to promote the private management of the dock.

Because of his broad vision, he understands that this is the only way for the shipping industry to survive after the General Administration kicked the shipping industry out.

But this road is not so easy to blaze off.

Because if foreigners buy ships, they will only buy them from their own country, and who in China will have these visions, even if there are, such as some figures in the concession, they will only buy foreign ships.

Ma Dangman said very regularly on the side: "Two gentlemen, my boss is very sincere. ”

"Your boss?" Wei Yungong asked uncertainly.

"Yes, he's the chairman, I'm just the manager." Madangman explained.

Han Huaiyi also gave an explanation: "I established the New Rome Foreign Bank single-handedly, of course, it didn't take long, because I just came back." But my business relationship is mature, and the shareholders on our board of directors are all foreigners except me, such as Jason from Meifeng, but you can rest assured that I am not a puppet. ”

Wei Yungong didn't know Jason, but he felt that Han Huaiyi was not bragging, so he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Han, how did you get acquainted with these relationships?" ”

"They're all friends." Han Huaiyi said it, which was even more mysterious.

Wei Yungong couldn't ask any more questions, he could only ask the business side: "So what tonnage ship does Mr. Han need, and when will he need it at the earliest." ”

Thinking about it, he said again: "Mr. Han, I don't mean anything else, the price of a sea vessel... ”

"If there is a suitable option, or if it meets my requirements, I can place a deposit today." Han Huaiyi directly said another sentence to block his doubts.

Ma Dangman immediately cooperated again: "My boss has strong connections and assets, please rest assured, there is no need for us to come to joke with you like this." ”

Han Huaiyi continued: "In view of the domestic situation and the actual environment, the current tonnage budget for the ships I purchase is about 3,000 tons. ”

Before Wei Yungong could say anything, Wei Litao stood up directly and exclaimed, "Three thousand tons? ”

Although the current maritime industry is developing rapidly, this is the end of the Qing Dynasty and not the future.

For example, the well-known Titanic, with a displacement of 46,000 tons, was officially put into operation six years later in 1909.

And it's a tourist liner.

If it were to be replaced by an ocean-going freighter of the same tonnage, it would not be possible to achieve such a scale and manufacturing requirements with the technology of an old-school ocean empire.

Of course, technology is evolving at a rapid pace.

Just half a century later, in the era of Mr. Dong Haoyun, in 1959, the 70,000-ton "East Asian Giant", known as one of the world's top ten oil tankers, appeared less than eight years ago, and the 220,000-ton and 300,000-ton giant ships began to be manufactured, followed by 1979, and even the 560,000-ton "Sea Giant" appeared.

The tonnage proposed by Han Huaiyi is placed in today's China, and in terms of the private shipping industry, it can be described as an earth-shattering shock!

So Wei Litao jumped when he heard it.

Han Huaiyi was very calm, and he said to Wei Yungong: "Your Excellency the General Office, this should be the current limit in China, can you do it?" ”

Wei Yungong seems to have a peaceful heart, but in fact, he is numb.

He didn't say a word for a long time, and Ma Dangman came and shouted, "What do you mean? Is there money not to be made? ”

"You get me out." Han Huaiyi said angrily, Ma Dangman shrank his head when he scolded him, yes, there was no such line as he said before! He had no choice but to roll out the door and stand.

The bored workers in the depressed Jiangnan Dockyard (which is not actually called that at the moment) are pointing at the Western scenery.

Ma Dangman immediately straightened his chest and belly, because he could be a grandson in front of Charlie, and he considered himself a master in front of other Chinese.

And indoors, Wei Yungong, who finally reacted, smiled bitterly: "Mr. Han, you are really a person who shocks your dreams, although I have also returned from abroad, I have not looked at the outside world for a long time." Who would have thought that foreign shipping would be so vigorous now. ”

"No, Your Excellency the General Office, you look down on those foreigners, you are not talented, and dare to be the first in world shipping." Han Huaiyi said.

Wei Yungong's uncle and nephew suddenly froze again.

It's not that they worship foreign flattery, if it weren't for Han Huaiyi's outfit, posture and foreign language, as well as Ma Dangman's grandson, they really thought this was a liar.

Because, the Chinese people have been weak for too long, and the more they look at the world, the more they feel the difference with the world.

So there is an indescribable lack of confidence.

How had they ever seen such a character as Han Huaiyi? Wei Yungong was stunned for a while, and then slapped the table: "Okay, Mr. Han is a world shipping first." To tell the truth, we can build it, but the cycle is long, I'm afraid Mr. Han can't afford to wait. ”

"We'll have to wait." Han Huaiyi said.

Wei Yungong was apprehensive when he heard this, and asked, "Mr. Han... Do you really believe me? ”
