Pan Xueming showed a smile on his face, with a confident light in his eyes, and said, "Mr. Shen, you can rest assured that the rental cost can completely cover the maintenance cost, and there will also be a certain profit."
He paused and then added, "In addition, we 704 Shipyard manufacture large-scale Cutter suction dredger not only to make money, but more importantly, to show our strength and technical level to the outside world. This is like a gorgeous performance to let everyone see our capabilities!"
Lin Chenran nodded slightly after hearing this, agreeing with Pan Xueming's statement.
In areas that other shipyards cannot venture into, 704 Shipyard can successfully produce the large-scale Cutter suction dredger, which is undoubtedly a shocking breakthrough.
This uniqueness not only attracts more customers but also enhances the company's reputation.
Pan Xueming continued to explain, "From the customer's perspective, if a shipyard can manufacture even large Cutter suction dredger, then small and medium-sized Cutter suction dredger is simply a piece of cake. In this way, we can win the trust and favor of customers."
Lin Chenran thought seriously for a while, and then responded, "No problem, Mr. Pan, I agree with you to design three different models of Cutter suction dredger."
"However, only one large Cutter suction dredger is currently allowed to be manufactured, which is mainly used for leasing business and external display."
Pan Xueming nodded, secretly relieved.
Lin Chenran still agreed with his idea.
"Mr. Pan, the market prospect of small and medium-sized Cutter suction dredger is very broad. Now that it is determined, let's start mobilizing it for design and research and development!"
Lin Chenran said categorically without any hesitation. He knew that time is money and opportunities are fleeting.
So Pan Xueming was directly arranged to prepare for the research and development of the Cutter suction dredger project.
After hearing this, Pan Xueming patted his chest with confidence and replied affirmatively, "Director Lin Don't worry, after the meeting is over, I will immediately organize relevant personnel to start various preparations. It is estimated that the design can be completed within one and a half months."
He was full of confidence in his team and directly issued a "military order" to ensure that the design would be completed within one and a half months.
Cutter suction dredger is simply a piece of cake for 704 Shipyard who has strong technical strength and experience.
They have successfully designed, developed and manufactured the more complex Aegis missile destroyer, so this time Cutter suction dredger is no exception.
When all the senior executives of 704 Shipyard present heard that Lin Chenran agreed to let their own shipyard design, develop and manufacture Cutter suction dredger, they all had bright smiles on their faces.
This means that 704 Shipyard has another profit point, which can further improve the factory's order performance.
Then, Lin Chenran smiled slightly and made a suggestion, "I would like to ask you to help design, develop and build an icebreaker."
Upon hearing this proposal, everyone was stunned, and then they all questioned, "What? Director Lin, you want us 704 Shipyard to design, develop and build an icebreaker? And a large icebreaker?"
Everyone is full of doubts and confusion. If the large-scale Cutter suction dredger can still maintain its capital, then Large Icebreaker is simply a money-loser.
Because the scope of use of icebreakers is very narrow, they are usually only used for scientific expeditions or rescue missions in polar regions.
In addition, the maintenance cost of Large Icebreaker is also quite high.
Everyone present began to discuss and speculate among themselves.
Is this an instruction from the national level to Director Lin?
Let them build a massive icebreaker?
At this moment, all the senior executives of 704 Shipyard turned their attention to Pan Xueming in front of them, with expectations in their eyes, hoping that he would stand up and resolutely oppose the construction of such a large icebreaker.
Facing everyone's gaze, Pan Xueming shook his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.
As the factory director of 704 Shipyard, he could only intervene to persuade him at this time.
Pan Xueming took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and spoke with an uneasy feeling:
"Director Lin, I don't quite understand why you suddenly decided to design a Large Icebreaker?"
His voice trembled slightly.
"You also know that the purpose of the icebreaker is narrower than that of the large Cutter suction dredger. Its role is only limited to breaking ice in the Arctic and Antarctic, and under some extreme conditions, the ocean freezes."
"Does the country have any plans to develop Antarctica?"
"Does this require us to build a Large Icebreaker?"
Pan Xueming couldn't help but raise the question deep in his heart.
"No, this icebreaker was not built at the request of the country." Lin Chenran shook his head and denied.
"Although the purpose of icebreakers is relatively narrow, there is a certain market. Of course, I want you 704 Shipyard to build icebreakers not just for sales." He added.
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel confused and curious, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on.
Lin Chenran then continued to explain, "This icebreaker is used to smooth the flow of Arctic Shipping Lane."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present showed puzzled expressions. They looked at each other as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Everyone was confused.
For Arctic Shipping Lane?
The Arctic region is covered with ice and snow all year round, has a cold climate and harsh environment. Is it really possible to open a waterway?
Are there any ships willing to risk going to Arctic Shipping Lane?
After all, it's full of unknowns and dangers.
And almost the entire Arctic Circle is in the hands of wooly bears.
Most ships still choose to take traditional routes.
Such as Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope, etc.
"This..."
"Then..."
Everyone at the scene was shocked by Lin Chenran's idea.
Lin Chenran said very confidently, "Suez Canal is prone to problems. From the beginning of the year to now, it has been blocked many times."
"It is very necessary to open a new channel Arctic Shipping Lane, and the profit will be huge."
Of course, this needs to be discussed with Mao Xiong.
Then Lin Chenran continued, "Mr. Pan, after the three types of Cutter suction dredger are designed, developed and manufactured, you can send someone to the country where Suez Canal belongs to promote them. I believe there will be good results."
This is eating both sides at the same time!
Lin Chenran's words made Pan Xueming and 704 Shipyard's senior executives shine.
Yes, you can promote your own Cutter suction dredger to the countries that own major canals and waterways.
Large Cutter suction dredger may be sold.
"I don't mind the Large Icebreaker you designed, developed and manufactured sitting in the warehouse gathering dust. If my plan succeeds, it will play an important role in the development of the entire 704 Shipyard."
Mainly opening a new channel will allow 704 Shipyard, 077 Machinery Military Factory, and Flame Nation to make a lot of money.
It's worth a try!
