Chapter 13

Wang Yu and the experts he brought were full of praise for the two artworks carved by Lei Tiantang. However, he did not have so much money in the company to buy such masterpieces for a while, so he had to spend 160 million to pack and buy all the ten pieces of jewelry made by Lei Tiantang with surplus materials. These jewelry are also very popular in the market. High end companies will develop because of them.

So although Wang Yu is envious of Lei Tiantang's two artworks, he still helps Lei Tiantang figure out how to sell them more cost-effective. He directly recommended Sotheby's Beijing branch to Lei Tiantang, because as an international top auction house, Sotheby's has enough customers to bid for these two artworks, which is very effective in raising the auction price.

Lei Tiantang accepted Wang Yu's suggestion and sent Wang Yu away. He contacted Sotheby's Beijing Branch. Sotheby's is now calling for a summer auction in 2019. Sotheby is very enthusiastic about the top jadeite artworks produced by Lei Tiantang. The manager of the auction house personally brings experts to handle relevant business.

After experts' appraisal of the two works of art, the estimated value of the two statues is 600 million yuan. Of course, this is the starting price. If the auction is really on, the final transaction price will certainly be greatly improved. This is Sotheby's confidence.

When understanding that Lei Tiantang needed cash now, Sotheby's provided an interest free loan of RMB 400 million, which was a part of the payment in advance. Lei Tiantang is very satisfied with this. He plans to order his own salvage boat in two days. According to his plan, the price of this fishing boat will not be lower.

Lei Tiantang checked the information on the Internet. At present, the most advanced salvage boat in China is the Dajiang class ocean salvage lifeboat. It reaches 156 meters in length, 20 meters in width and 16 meters in draft. The speed can reach 20 knots and the endurance is 18000 nautical miles.

At present, each fleet of the navy has Dajiang class in service, and Dajiang class ocean salvage lifeboat is one of the auxiliary ships of Chinese army. It was started in 1973, and the first ship was started in Jiangnan Shipyard in 1975. It was completed and put into service in November 1979. It has a full displacement of 12000 tons, and a helicopter platform. It has two mank9z60-105e diesel engines with a total power of 18000 horsepower and two shafts and twin propellers. Two 630kw diesel generator sets. Its wind resistance has also reached 12.

Lei Tiantang felt that such a big ship could meet his requirements for going out to sea. Unfortunately, because it was a military ship, he could not buy it. Moreover, it was not a professional treasure hunting and salvage ship. However, he doesn't need the ship's grade to reach the military level, as long as the displacement and anti wind and wave level are enough. Moreover, the civilian level does not need to be equipped with weapons and other things. The design can be made with the most advanced technology, which can completely satisfy him.

After a detailed comparison of the domestic shipyards, he finally planned to order his first salvage ship in Jiangnan Shipyard. The reason is very simple, because Jiangnan Shipyard has experience in building this kind of ship, and it is of military grade. Choosing them to design and build a civilian fishing boat can reassure Lei Tiantang.

Now that a decision has been made, Lei Tiantang doesn't intend to drag on, so he bought a ticket to the magic capital. After getting off the plane at Pudong International Airport, he called a car directly to the headquarters of Jiangnan Shipyard in modu.

He was met by a business manager, because Lei Tiantang contacted their company by phone before he came to Mordor. Because he really has the intention and strength to order ships, so the business manager is very enthusiastic. As for how to confirm that he has the ability to order a ship, this is of course the information provided by Lei Tiantang. Jiangnan Shipyard confirmed it through its own investigation. Otherwise, you can call anyone and say you want to buy a ship. Who believes it.

"Hello, Mr. Lei. Welcome to Jiangnan Shipyard! My name is Liu Jianjun. I'm in charge of business reception. " He said and held out his hands to Lei Tiantang.

Lei Tiantang shook hands with him and said, "Hello, manager Liu, please."

"No trouble! It's too late for us to welcome customers like Mr. Lei to our shipyard. If it's all troublesome, I hope there will be more trouble like this! " Liu Jianjun said with a smile.

"Ha ha, that's true! Manager Liu, I can't tell you clearly on the phone. Now, can we communicate with the salvage boat I want to order and confirm the construction plan? " Lei Tiantang is still very interested in this ship.

"Ha ha, Mr. Lei, don't be so anxious! You see, now it's time for dinner. Let's have a meal together. When I come back, I'll show you around our shipyard, so that you can understand us, so that you can know something about us. " Manager Liu said warmly.

"That will do! I listen to manager Liu! To be honest, I'm curious. I've never seen how a ship was built before. I'll have a good visit this time. " As soon as Lei Tiantang heard Liu Jianjun say so, he was not dissatisfied, because as a inland man, he did not see many big ships, let alone how to build them.

After lunch with the enthusiastic Liu Jianjun, Lei Tiantang visited the shipbuilding base in Changxing Island under his leadership. To tell you the truth, Lei Tiantang was shocked, because his scale is too big! Under the introduction of Liu Jianjun, he had a new understanding of the shipyard.Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. is a military shipbuilding enterprise with the longest history in China. It was founded in 1865 (the fourth year of Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty) and went through Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, Jiangnan Shipyard, Navy Jiangnan Shipyard and Jiangnan Shipyard. In 1996, it was transformed into Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd.

On June 3, 2008, on the occasion of the 143rd anniversary of the founding of Jiangnan Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. officially announced that Jiangnan Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. had successfully completed the relocation task and officially settled in the Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base. The Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base of China Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. is located in Changxing Island of the Yangtze River Estuary, covering an area of about 5.8 million square meters and coastline length of about 3800 meters. The main construction contents include four large docks and 17 outfitting docks. The planning program is that the annual shipbuilding capacity of civil ships is 4.5 million tons. It is the largest modern shipbuilding base with the most advanced facilities and the most extensive production varieties in China.

Liu Jianjun and Lei Tiantang drive a car in the base along the docks where ships are being built. For everything in front of him, Lei Tiantang felt strange and shocked. Those giant ships with displacement of tens of thousands of tons under construction are really too huge. Fortunately, he also knows that those are transport ships, and the salvage ships he wants to order are two concepts. Although the tonnage of salvage vessels he intends to order cannot be compared with these Big Macs, in terms of value, the salvage boats will cost several times as much as such freighters, because there are so many advanced equipment to be loaded on them.

"How wonderful! Manager Liu, thank you for showing me around! " Lei Tiantang expressed his thanks to Liu Jianjun with a smile.

"It's very kind of you, Mr. Lei. If your order is confirmed, it will be produced and built here in the future." Liu Jianjun said with pride.

"Well, then, after we have visited, we can discuss the details when we go back." Lei Tiantang can't wait.

"Well, we'll go back now!" Liu Jianjun was very happy with Lei Tiantang's affirmative reply.

The two returned to the company by car, and Liu Jianjun began to discuss the specific details with him. Because Lei Tiantang said his general requirements on the phone, Liu Jianjun knew that this was a big order, so he was also listening to Lei Tiantang's specific requirements.
