Chapter 1148 The Unlucky Korean

After the meeting.

Chang Haonan said goodbye to all the leaders, then packed up his things and took Zhuang Bingchang downstairs.

Although no clear results were obtained today, this kind of ruthless work of indirectly transforming the landform and ecology of half a province and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers cannot be finalized casually.

Being able to leave a reliable and deep impression on the decision-makers is already a good start.

"Academician Chang, you really shocked me today..."

The posture just now was so great that Zhuang Bingchang still feels a little sweaty even now.

"Didn't I say it before? We can't continue to make small fights."

Chang Haonan smiled and replied:

"But it doesn't matter...you will get used to it gradually in the future."

In 2004, China's money bag was just getting richer, and various projects that had been planned in the last century were gradually implemented.

But it is far from the infrastructure maniac that everyone will be familiar with in the future.

There are some things that, unless you see them with your own eyes, you have no idea about.

"after……"

Zhuang Bingchang didn't seem to fully understand what Chang Haonan meant.

But he was not prepared to continue to be entangled. He just followed Chang Haonan's footsteps and at the same time lowered his head and began to plan his next work plan in his mind.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the two of them:

"Academician Chang!"

Chang Haonan turned around and found that it was Li Zhongyi who had left the conference room about ten minutes earlier.

"Director Li?"

He stopped and motioned to Zhuang Bingchang to go downstairs first.

The latter is not a member of the Science and Technology Commission system, so even some content that is defined as non-confidential is not easy to talk about in front of the other party.

"After the symposium, the superior leaders organized another small-scale discussion."

Li Zhongyi slowly came to Chang Haonan's side and explained the reason why he only appeared here now.

But then the conversation changed:

"The technology that turned sand into farmland just now was the inspiration you told us during the previous meeting?"

If Chang Haonan had reported directly to the Science and Technology Commission two years ago, it would have been completely disrespectful.

But now, the situation is different.

Regardless of the title of academician.

The position of advisor to the Shanggong Construction Committee was created to provide advice and suggestions to superiors.

Or rather, a national strategic project like this is not originally under the jurisdiction of the Industrial and Construction Commission.

Even so, Chang Haonan could still hear something in Li Zhongyi's tone...

Wronged.

"That's not..."

The former quickly shook his head:

"I was planning to talk to you alone about exporting technology to Middle Eastern countries."

After hearing the word "alone", Li Zhongyi's expression finally relaxed.

There is quite a sense of reassurance that "it seems that the relationship between us is still strong".

Then, he put on a posture of being ready to listen.

"The details of desert soilification technology have a lot to do with the composition and structural properties of the sand itself. The experience of Mongolia Province cannot even be directly transferred to Xinjiang Province, let alone the Gulf Area..."

Chang Haonan explained:

"So, what I was planning to bring out at that time was actually a sand solidification technology based on pure mechanics."

Li Zhongyi did not answer, but there was some confusion in his eyes.

As a layman, he didn't seem to hear any obvious difference.

"To put it simply, the recoverability of the universal binding constraints is not considered, but only the rheological properties are enhanced. By adjusting the composition and ratio of the curing agent, the sand body can be adjusted from a completely discrete state to a state similar to soft soil. to the extent that the foundation can be further strengthened by general hardeners such as cement.”

At this moment, Li Zhongyi reacted immediately:

"Can it be used as a foundation?"

"That's right."

Chang Haonan gave an affirmative answer:

"For our country, the cost of this technology is too high, and its significance is not very great. At most, it can improve the settlement of some roads and railways. But more than 90% of the UAE's land area is in the desert, so there is no choice at all... Besides, they are not short of money and can use it just right.”

In fact, his statement still has some reservations——

For China, this technology can only be said to be of little significance at the moment.

But it can be used as one of the prerequisite technologies for large-scale reclamation and island building.

In as short as a few years or as long as more than ten years, it will play an unimaginable role.

However, it is too early to say this now.

Not only is it unsupportable in terms of technology and cost.

It is not yet time for the external environment.

However, just the effect of solidifying the foundation has already made Li Zhongyi's eyes gleam.

"Then it seems it's time to convene relevant units to discuss..."

He calmed down a little and said.

You know, the open fields listed by the UAE for China are quite broad, but they just lack a starting point to enter the game.

This technology is almost equivalent to giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy.

On the other hand, in principle, apart from the original several major military industrial groups, the Industrial Construction Commission does not directly have jurisdiction over any other state-owned enterprises.

Business guidance can only be provided through the relevant policies of the four equipment industry departments.

It's guidance, not guidance.

Administrative coercion cannot be used.

Therefore, if you want to gain enough influence, you need to provide corresponding benefits.

And an early experience card for the GCC country market is obviously a very attractive bargaining chip...

…

How the Industrial Construction Commission specifically expands its influence is something Li Zhongyi and his leadership team need to consider.

As a technician, Chang Haonan has accomplished his mission if he can provide a first-hand bomb.

Therefore, after leaving the venue, he returned to the Torch Laboratory with Zhuang Bingchang.

Originally, the two were planning to discuss the follow-up test plan.

As a result, as soon as he sat down and before he could start chatting, he saw Song Jingming hurriedly appearing at the door of the office.

The other party is Chang Haonan's office director at Torch Group, and he doesn't often appear in the laboratory.

Therefore, there must be something important.

Sure enough, as soon as Song Jingming entered the door, he took out a piece of information from his briefcase.

"Mr. Chang..."

At this time, he discovered that there was another person sitting opposite Chang Haonan.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office was a little awkward.

Especially when Song Jingming and Zhuang Bingchang looked at each other, they were both stunned.

After a while, the latter suddenly realized that he seemed to be the redundant person...

"Then Academician Chang, shall I wait for you in the lounge below?"

Zhuang Bingchang was very discerning and found a reason to run away.

Before leaving, I didn’t forget to close the door behind me...

Until then, Song Jingming breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly stepped forward in three steps and put the folder on the desk:

"Mr. Chang, Team Leader Zhong Hongyu just contacted us, saying that the Norwegian company that ordered the LNG ship from Samsung Offshore Geoje Shipyard suddenly declared bankruptcy and was unable to pay more than 70% of the remaining balance..."

This news came somewhat suddenly.

But it is not a surprise in itself to Chang Haonan.

The Norwegian company originally belonged to the notorious Sezhuoer Petrochemicals, and it even initially targeted Chinese shipyards.

Fortunately, the Koreans took the initiative to grab orders for these ships, so Chang Haonan simply used the trick and handed this hot potato to Samsung Offshore Engineering.

He also used technical problems to trick the opponent.

"For Geoje Shipyard, this is not entirely a bad thing..."

He shook his head with a strange look on his face:

“The cargo tanks and re-liquefaction systems of those ships are not suitable to begin with, and there are serious safety hazards... If something happens after delivery, Geoje Shipyard is afraid that it will go bankrupt... "

Although he was the instigator of the Korean people's misfortune, he did not feel any guilt at all.

On the contrary, I want to laugh a little——

The order was taken by you on your own initiative.

The reliquefaction technology was also stolen by you on your own initiative.

We even had the kindness to give you a heads up.

It was your failure to listen that caused today's consequences.

All I can say is that it’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.

After listening to Chang Haonan's critical comments, Song Jingming also showed a smile on his face:

"Actually, Mr. Chang, Geoje Shipyard may really want to file for bankruptcy..."

The latter was stunned for a moment, but then he was relieved.

Shipbuilding is an asset-heavy industry, and it is completely normal for a company to have problems with capital turnover if the balance of more than one billion U.S. dollars cannot be recovered.

In the last generation, China's large ship and offshore engineering industry was also manipulated by Xizhuoer Company in this way. If the superiors did not decisively come to the rescue, they would basically end up in bankruptcy.

Although Samsung Offshore is a big company and a big business, no matter how big it is, it cannot be bigger than the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

It is completely understandable to choose bankruptcy and reorganization if you cannot bear the pressure.

But schadenfreude is schadenfreude.

Chang Haonan quickly thought of another question.

Mr. K, also known as Yoon Jong-hyun, is the manager of Geoje Shipyard.

Might be a former manager now.

After discovering the potential safety hazards of those ships, because they could not withstand the blame from their superiors, they were forced to choose to join the Communist Party, and the world changed in an instant.

The original intention of the other party was to exchange for a plan that could completely eliminate the safety hazards of several LNG ships.

But Chang Haonan was not prepared to give it to him from the beginning.

As for now...

Party A and Party B of the contract are finished together. Even if someone takes over and something goes wrong in the future, it will be impossible to find the relevant person responsible.

But Manager Yin has already handed in the certificate of surrender and boarded the pirate ship, and it is impossible to get off.

So, he quickly asked with concern:

"Our Mr. K...what's going on now?"

The demise of Geoje Shipyard, or even Samsung Offshore Engineering, has nothing to do with Chang Haonan.

But if such a useful mole as Yin Zhongxian loses value because of this, the loss is still a bit big.

"Team leader Zhong said that because of his outstanding work ability, he was poached by his counterpart Hyundai Heavy Industries as soon as the rumors of the bankruptcy and reorganization of Geoje Shipyard emerged, and he is currently serving as the deputy general manager of Ulsan Shipyard. ”

Song Jingming replied:

"In addition, considering that the current general manager of the latter is old, it is expected that he may take over as the top leader of Ulsan Shipyard within 1-2 years..."
