The first shipyard of Fengshi Shipping Company, located in the north of the North Shore Development Zone, is also the first shipyard invested and built by their company, which has set off the integrated operation mode of shipbuilding, shipping and port of Fengshi Shipping Company.

However, although this Feng No. 1 shipyard is of great significance to their company, in fact, its scale is not large, there are only a few docks, and its largest dry dock can only build ships of 400 tons, compared to the other shipyards that their company has acquired before, they are much larger than this Fung No. 1 shipyard.

Today, however, the first shipyard is home to a group of high-level executives from their company headquarters!

The executives of these companies were looking at the steamer under construction in the dockyard, and in the middle of the crowd, a young man who was a little too old was surrounded by the crowd.

This young man surrounded by everyone has a very special surname for Feng's shipping company: Feng!

This person's surname is Feng, and his name is Jiwen!

After his father died of illness this year, according to the will, as the second son, he surpassed the eldest brother and the second brother of the eldest son, and inherited almost all the family business, including part of the shares of the Feng shipping company and a large number of fields, real estate, many negotiable notes, cash, and so on.

He is not the only son of the Feng family, nor is he the eldest son, but only the second son, according to secular concepts, it is impossible for him to take over the family business, but his father Feng Zhanlin gave him the family business, and according to the inheritance tradition of the Chinese gentry family in these years, he inherited all the family business.

Traditionally, in order to maintain the continued prosperity of the family, the family would concentrate the vast majority of the family's wealth on one person, and the other sons would generally receive only a small amount of wealth, rather than sharing it equally among all future generations.

Feng Jiwen is the beneficiary of this traditional inheritance system of the family, and his brothers can basically only get an inheritance worth thousands of taels or tens of thousands of yuan, but he has an inheritance worth millions of yuan.

Most of the millions of inheritance comes from the shares of the Fung Shipping Company and some of the shares of its affiliates, especially the 21 percent of the shares of the Fung Shipping Company, which is of great value.

Feng's shipping company used to be a pure family business, but in order to develop its own reform, it gradually introduced capital investment, and the shares held by the Feng family were also gradually reduced from wholly-owned to 21% now.

Although the Feng family gave up the shares, it doubled the value of these shares, and when the investment was introduced, the voting rights of many shares were fully entrusted to the Feng family, which is why the Feng family was able to continue to control this shipping company.

Of course, this is also the reason why investors believe that the Feng family can lead Feng's shipping to go further.

Feng Jiwen, who inherited the shares, began to take charge of the family business in accordance with his father's wishes, and for this reason, he also went through the procedures for suspension in Guozijian, he is still a sophomore at Guozijian University, but unfortunately, if nothing else, it is almost impossible for him to continue his studies.

Relying on the shares in his hands, coupled with the introduction of capital that year, part of the voting rights of the shares were in the hands of the Feng family, Feng Jiwen successfully took over his father's throne and became the chairman of Feng's shipping company, controlling the comprehensive shipping enterprise with a market value of millions and ranking second in the entire empire.

Feng Jiwen's figure was a little thin, he stood, looked at the steamship under construction in front of him, suddenly turned his head to look at the group of middle-aged and elderly men behind him, and said: "Maybe many of you will have questions, why did my father choose me to inherit the family business, to be honest, I also have doubts!" ”

"But it doesn't matter anymore, since my father handed over Feng's shipping to me, then as a son of man, as the helmsman of Feng's shipping, Jiwen has the responsibility and confidence to continue to lead Feng's shipping forward!"

"Now, the future is in front of us, steamships, this is the future, steamships will have greater advantages than traditional sailboats, with larger cargo capacity, lower costs, and more importantly, regardless of the season and wind direction, you can go anywhere you want!"

"Steamships are the future, and they will revolutionize shipping and lead the future!"

"And this Far Away in front of us is our future!"

"At the same time, I officially announce that we have officially reached a supply agreement with the Navy Shipborne Steam Engine Factory, and in the next three years, they will supply us with at least 60 sets of commercial shipborne steam engines, and this is the priority supply in addition to the Navy order!"

Feng's Shipping Company, the first pure steam-powered passenger ship Yuanfang, was greatly valued by Feng Jiwen, and as the first big move after taking charge of Feng's Shipping Company, he single-handedly promoted the construction of the Yuanfang passenger ship.

When he learned of the Royal Institute of Technology's development of a high-pressure steam engine in August, he realized the huge potential of the high-pressure steam engine, so he quickly began to develop a steamship.

However, when they learned that the production capacity of Zhaoqing Machinery Company and Tianjin Youbang Company's commercial shipborne steam engines was contracted by the Yangtze River Shipping Company, Feng Jiwen did not compromise, he directly found the Royal Institute of Technology, bought one of their prototypes at a high price, and then conducted various tests on his own.

At the same time, he found the navy and wanted to order shipborne steam engines from the factories under the navy shipyard, although the navy shipyard does not belong to the external enterprises, but to the shipyards within the navy, but in terms of nature, the ownership of the navy shipyard does not belong to the navy, but to the ministry of state-owned enterprises.

The navy just has the right to administer it!

Moreover, the empire has always been more sensitive to the military's business, and there are actually voices within the navy that oppose the direct management of shipyards, because it is good that this kind of thing does not go wrong, but when it goes wrong, it is a big problem.

In addition, the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises also wants to take back the management rights of the naval shipyards, so the issue of handling the management rights of the naval shipyards is already in progress.

Several sub-factories under the shipyard, including the newly established shipboard steam engine factory, were officially spun off from the naval shipyards, and the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises had the right to manage and own them, but the navy still had huge supervision over these factories and sent naval representatives to supervise them.

In the end, the Feng Shipping Company found an opportunity, and they came to the door and offered to provide a large interest-free loan to help the steam engine factory under the Navy Shipyard to build a production line, and all they asked for was a contract for the purchase of commercial ship-based steam engines.

In the end, the two sides hit it off, that is, Feng Shipping Company got the supply contract for the shipborne steam engine!

The Yangtze River Shipping Company made thousands of calculations, but it did not calculate that at this juncture, the Navy Shipyard would carry out management reforms, so that the Feng Shipping Company would take advantage of it.

This also means that the plan planned by the Yangtze River Shipping Company to monopolize the commercial shipborne steam engine in the next two years has actually come to naught before it has even begun.

Feng Jiwen said: "This also means that in the next three years, we will compete directly with Yangtze River Shipping in the emerging field of steamships, and this will also be the best opportunity for us to replace Yangtze River Shipping and become the first shipping company in the empire!" ”

Behind Feng Jiwen were all senior managers of Feng's Shipping, many of whom were high-level executives sent by investment institutions, and these people couldn't help but show excited expressions and applaud when they heard Feng Jiwen's description of using steamships to completely defeat Yangtze River Shipping and become the first shipping company in the empire.

They are privately owned, they don't have the same messy restrictions as Yangtze shipping, they can invest at any time as long as they are profitable, and then compete.

Just like the field of steamships, the Yangtze River Shipping Company can be said to have taken the lead, and even tested the first steamship Ladies, but unfortunately, as a test ship, the Ladies, is far from mature, so it cannot be put into commercial use, and it is still only carrying out various tests.

Nowadays, although the Yangtze River Aerospace Company has various plans, they are just plans.

How could a private company like the Fung Shipping Company have the audacity to put the only prototype purchased from the Royal Institute of Technology on the slipway for the commercial operation of steamships before the commercial steam engine is in place.

According to their plan, it is estimated that in February, the Yuanfang will be able to be put into commercial operation, and at that time, the steamship of the Yangtze River Shipping Company has not yet been seen, and the only lady is only a test ship, and the ownership is not completely owned by the Yangtze River Shipping Company, and the Royal Institute of Technology still has general ownership, because the steam engine above is the asset of the Royal Institute of Technology, so the two sides share the ship for various tests, but the Yangtze River Shipping is unable to put the ship directly into commercial operation.

What's more, as the first test ship, various technologies are not very mature, and they are barely put into commercial operation, and I am afraid that there will be various problems.

But Feng's shipping is different, people don't have too many scruples, and in order to seize the market, improve the reputation of the company and are willing to spend money, this time, the gap comes.

As a latecomer, Feng's Shipping Company, in order to catch up with and surpass the Yangtze River Shipping, they are more willing and more radical!

These two companies are chasing me, and it can be expected that next year's shipping market will definitely set off another bloody storm!
