Developing the shipping industry is currently the top priority for Emerald Island.
However, how to develop is a question worth pondering.
Jiang Cheng also has his own considerations on this.
At present, Emerald Island can be considered an alternative existence in the world.
To ordinary people, it is a dream paradise with pristine scenery and futuristic technology, but to some countries, it is a thorn in the eye.
If it weren't for the complex international situation around it, it would still be a question whether Emerald Island could exist safely.
Therefore, in such an international context, as the owner of the island, Jiang Cheng needs to think more deeply.
The success of the "Transformer" flying car that made a splash around the world was indeed within Jiang Cheng's expectations, but there were also some accidental factors.
That is, the highly developed Internet technology allows the spread of information to be much faster than imagined.
It is also because of the publicity from tourists that the epoch-making technological product, the flying car, has been able to spread throughout the world in just a few days, thus creating the now internationally renowned Emerald Paradise!
Therefore, if we want to develop the shipping industry and promote high-tech products such as supercavitation propulsion, we must also follow this approach.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.
Afterwards, Jiang Cheng called Tina and asked her to investigate whether there were any important international exhibitions related to the shipbuilding industry recently.
Soon, Tina, who was extremely efficient, sent Jiang Cheng a series of information about international ship exhibitions.
Jiang Cheng screened it carefully and set his sights on a world-class ship expo that would be held next month.
Leicestershire Boat Show, UK!
Jiang Cheng knew something about Leicestershire, which was the shipbuilding capital of the world.
As early as the last century, this was a famous shipbuilding base of the British Empire. Tens of thousands of ships of various types set sail from here and headed for all parts of the world, ushering in the Age of Exploration that was engraved in history.
The Leicestershire Boat Show is the largest and most influential boat show in the world's shipbuilding industry.
The expo, jointly organized by Chatham, a famous British shipyard, and Fincantieri, the world's largest cruise ship manufacturer, is the best place for ship exhibitors and shipping companies to negotiate business and create profits.
The exhibition was founded in 1974. The long-standing exhibition has attracted the attention of many ship buyers around the world. The main visitors of the exhibition include design engineers, R&D personnel, production engineers and other professionals in the shipbuilding industry, as well as editors-in-chief of ship magazines and other ship enthusiasts.
It can be said that the Leicestershire Boat Expo is a weather vane for the development of the contemporary shipbuilding industry. Every new type of ship and manufacturing technology exhibited will be an object of imitation for the industry in the future and is extremely authoritative.
As for the scope of the exhibits, it covers large ocean-going cruise ships, tourist ships, car ships, inland passenger ships and other high-speed passenger ships, dry cargo ships that transport bulk cargo such as coal carriers, ore carriers, timber carriers, and container ships with standard containers as freight units, and of course, LNG ships, which are currently the most difficult to manufacture in the world and are known as the "crown jewel" of the world's shipbuilding industry.
LNG carrier is a special ship used to transport liquefied gas at temperatures as low as minus 163 degrees Celsius, and is a "super refrigerated truck at sea".
This type of large transport ship is a "three-high" product of high technology, high difficulty and high added value. It is also a high ground of competition for all shipyards in the world. Only the top shipyards can manufacture it. Of course, the profits are also extremely lucrative.
The cost of building an LNG carrier is as high as 300 to 400 million US dollars, and its deck area is equivalent to the total area of 40 basketball courts. Its carrying capacity is as high as 150,000 cubic meters, which can provide a large city with a population of 30 million with daily gas consumption for one month.
Natural gas has become an indispensable energy source for modern human life. It is precisely because of its particularity that the market prospects for LNG ships are very broad.
Therefore, if Jiang Cheng wants to develop the shipping industry, LNG ships will be an inevitable competitive advantage.
Looking at the exhibition introduction sent by Tina, Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
It can be said that this exhibition is exactly the opportunity he has been waiting for, a chance to once again make the Emerald Island famous and shock the world!
Of course, the prerequisite is that he has to come up with his own product.
…
Jiang Cheng has become busy since receiving the introduction to the Leicestershire Boat Show.
He first instructed Tina and Monica to contact the organizer of the exhibition, get the invitation letter, and then discuss the layout of the exhibition.
As for himself, he drove Xiao Hei and patrolled the Emerald Island day and night.
In order to produce their own products, it is of course necessary to build a shipyard, and the site selection issue becomes the top priority.
So, these days, Jiang Cheng has been worrying about where to build the factory, and he even rejected Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian's invitation to go out for fun.
There was no way, although he also wanted to take this opportunity to take a bath with the two beauties, no, to swim with them.
But compared to this, the future of Emerald Island is more important. What's more, he has asked Monica to apply for Emerald Island green cards for both of them. They can meet anytime in the future and there will be plenty of opportunities to take a bath together, so there is no need to rush.
Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian were of course very angry about Jiang Cheng's rejection. In their opinion, Jiang Cheng, this playboy, must have been secretly fooling around with Monica.
So, while the two of them were touring Laputa City, they were constantly cursing Jiang Cheng in their hearts for being a playboy.
Jiang Cheng naturally knew nothing about these things. He was fully focused on selecting a site for the shipyard.
As the exhibition is getting closer, Jiang Cheng has very limited time. Moreover, Monica has successfully persuaded the organizer of the exhibition and obtained the invitation letter.
When he heard that Emerald Isle would soon appear at the exhibition, Mr. Sandro, the chairman of the organizer and director of Fincantieri Shipyard, was naturally very shocked.
Because, in his opinion, Emerald Island's flying car manufacturing technology is world-class, but he has never heard that there is a first-class shipyard on the island.
Therefore, he initially expressed doubts about Monica's request to attend the meeting. However, when he thought about the flying cars that appeared in the world almost overnight, an unbelievable thought flashed through his mind. It was based on this thinking that made him agree to Monica's request.
Now that he has received the invitation letter, it now depends on whether Jiang Cheng can produce his own product.
