While the third-level flying car factory and shipyard expansion project were in full swing, Jiang Cheng was not idle either.
He joined forces with Uncle Li and other Jade Island executives to step up the integration of Jiang’s Shipping.
At present, the business undertaken by Jiangshi Shipping is mainly container ship transportation, and its scope is concentrated in Southeast Asia. Due to factors of the Philippine government, Jiangshi Shipping's operations have fallen into a difficult situation in recent years.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng decided to move the headquarters of Jiang’s Shipping to Emerald Island. Of course, the relocation of Jiang’s Shipping does not mean giving up its business in Southeast Asia.
Over the years, the fundamental reason why Jiang's Shipping fell from the altar and was surpassed by other shipping companies was that it did not have the most advanced transport ships and could not provide customers with the fastest service.
However, this biggest obstacle was removed after Emerald Island developed a high-speed transport ship.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng believes that after being equipped with a batch of new high-speed transport ships, Jiang Shipping will surely usher in a rapid revival!
Jiang Cheng actually has deeper considerations as to why he attaches so much importance to the development of the shipping industry.
In Jiang Cheng's blueprint for the Emerald Island industry, Jiang's Shipping can be regarded as one of the pillar industries, and in the future it will be tasked with providing escort for the rapid development of Emerald Island.
In addition, Jiang's Shipping's business scope will not be limited to the transportation industry, but will also involve logistics, oil and natural gas exploration and exploitation and other related businesses.
It can be said that this is Jiang Cheng’s real goal.
In the future, as the area of islands and territorial waters expands, Jiang Cheng will inevitably extend his tentacles to the natural energy in the surrounding waters, and if he wants to do this, he must have corresponding supporting support.
And it is obvious that Jiang Shipping is the most advantageous tool!
…
Time slowly passes in this intense atmosphere.
During this period, good news continued to come from the commercial shipyard on Octopus Island.
Long before going to the Leicestershire Ship Expo, Jiang Cheng had already instructed his scientific researchers to work hard to develop a new type of high-speed container transport ship. After a period of hard work, this epoch-making special transport ship was finally successfully produced.
The first step is to equip Jiang’s Shipping and supplement its transportation capacity.
[Name]：4E class high-speed container ship
[Parameters]: Length 399 meters, draft 14.5 meters, beam 59 meters, height 73 meters, tonnage 100,000 tons
[Speed]: Cruising speed 41 knots (76 km/h), maximum speed 48 knots (89 km/h)
According to the international container ship classification standards, a 4E-class container ship needs to have an ultra-large cargo capacity, ultra-low fuel consumption, and ultra-high transportation efficiency.
It is obvious that the container ship manufactured by Jiang Cheng can fully meet the 4E class standards and even far exceed these standards, because its parameters require a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary 4E class container ship.
The speed of a container ship of this size of 100,000 tons is generally around 15 knots, but Jiang Cheng's ship can exceed 40 knots.
In terms of transportation efficiency alone, it is even close to three times the general international level!
Soon after the first 4E-class high-speed container ship was produced, the other two shipyards also went into production. As a result, Octopus Island’s production capacity was greatly improved, and it entered a stage of full-scale rush to complete the work!
During this period, with the efforts of Uncle Li and other senior executives of Emerald Island, the relocation of Jiang's Shipping has been completely completed. To this end, Jiang Cheng specially built an office building for Jiang's Shipping in a natural harbor in Laputa City, and gave full authority to the senior management of Jiang's Shipping to move in.
From this moment on, Jiang's Shipping has officially entered the recovery operation stage.
…
Just when Jiang's Shipping completed rectification and entered the operation stage, a statement issued by the official of Emerald Island inadvertently spread on the Internet around the world.
The main content of the statement is that Emerald Island’s official shipping company, Jiang’s Shipping, has officially entered the operation stage. All of its ships are transport ships equipped with high-speed thrusters. Jiang’s Shipping is willing to provide the most efficient and high-quality services to all customers in the world!
After this statement was issued, it was like pouring a basin of cold water into a frying pan, causing a huge ripple!
High-speed transport ships have finally entered the commercial stage!
At this moment, the whole world was boiling!
In fact, as early as the Leicestershire Fair, when Jiang Cheng demonstrated the epoch-making high-speed LNG ship in front of audiences all over the world, people have been looking forward to this kind of high-speed ship.
This is high technology that changes the times and can fundamentally change human life!
From a certain perspective, he was enough to change the world's transportation history. From then on, sailing on the sea was no longer synonymous with "slow"!
Everyone was eagerly looking forward to this day, but they did not expect that it would only take a few months from its shocking debut to entering the commercial stage. This refreshed the world's perception of Emerald Island's efficiency.
While the world was cheering, major newspapers around the world also gave in-depth analysis and coverage of Jiang's Shipping's official operations on their front pages.
"Big news! Jiang's Shipping makes its debut in the world, and the shipping industry has officially entered the high-speed era!" - Le Figaro
"High-speed rail at sea! Jiang's Shipping officially started operations today, marking the successful commercialization of underwater high-speed propulsion technology. The day that changes the world has finally arrived!" - Le Monde
"Maybach in the water! After changing the automotive industry, Emerald Island's high-tech ship that changed the shipbuilding industry was officially put into operation today!" - The Times
…
Of course, while major newspapers around the world were all cheering, some newspapers expressed pessimism about the matter.
For example, South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries was severely damaged by Jiang Cheng at the Leicestershire Expo.
Since the last incident, the status of Samsung Heavy Industries has plummeted. Not only has it become a laughing stock in the industry, but the supercavitation technology that was said to be the result of decades of hard work by Samsung Heavy Industries has fallen into dust before it had a chance to show its glory.
There is no way. Compared with the speed navigation technology of Emerald Island, it is really not enough.
Only a few months had passed, but Samsung Heavy Industries' operations had already fallen into a quagmire. Not only had it not signed any orders, but many shipping companies had also chosen to tear up their agreements and surrender to Emerald Island.
This has made the situation of Samsung Heavy Industries even worse. The once glorious world's number one shipyard is now on the decline.
The famous media in South Korea also expressed their sadness about this.
"A day of national humiliation! Samsung's pillars collapsed, and Emerald Island created another miracle!" - Seoul Times
"Shame! The myth of the Republic of Korea has become a joke to the world!" - Hankook Ilbo
Well, I’ll just update this one now as I’m working overtime today, and I’ll make up for it later.
