Chapter 1312 The world’s largest ship-breaking center!

The Imperial Aerospace Group successfully launched the first artificial satellite, shocking the world.

Yang Ming has already put his time into other aspects.

at this time.

The place where Yang Ming, Alina, Ying La, He Chaoluo, Lin Xiuzhi and others came was the port of Huangpu Shipyard.

Historically, Huangpu Dockyard and Xiangjiang grew up together and have the same long and prominent history. The company had a shipyard and repair shop in Huangpu, Pearl River, and a newly built dry dock in Heung Kong Tsai, Hong Kong Island in the 18th century.

18 The newly enacted company laws at that time obtained the No. 1 Xiangjiang Business Registration Certificate.

For more than a century, Whampoa Dockyard has been one of the largest drydock, ship repair and shipbuilding companies in the Far East, during which it has experienced two world wars.

At its peak, the dock handles an average of twenty-five ships per week. Providing services to 13 countries and 9 or more navies fleets.

Huangpu Shipyard is in the 1st exhibition market. To 1, acquire a majority stake in Kwan Yick Limited (Kwan Yick), which owns major docks and warehouses on Hong Kong Island.

One of Kwan Yick's three warehouses in the Western District was redeveloped into a large-scale commercial and residential project, while the docks and warehouses in North Point were also developed into North Point Wofoo Centre.

1. Merged with Hutchison Enterprises Limited to form Hutchison Whampoa Limited, also known as Hutchison Whampoa. The business of Whampoa Dockyard shifted to focus on real estate, and the management structure was also expanded. Marketing and housing estate management departments were added respectively, and freight business was transferred to Heung Kong International Container Terminals Limited.

Historically, after Hutchison Whampoa was swallowed up by Lijiacheng, Lijiacheng only focused on the real estate industry and turned all the ports of Huangpu Dockyard into commercial real estate.

However, now that Yang Ming has swallowed Hutchison Whampoa, he is not like Li Jiacheng.

Yang Ming still attaches great importance to Huangpu Shipyard.

One of them is about building big ships.

Now Xiangjiang No. 1 Shipping Group, a subsidiary of the Imperial Group, has purchased some of its ships and built some of them itself.

At this point, Yang Ming has been learning from modern groups in history.

After all, Hyundai Group's heavy industry and shipbuilding development did not last long, but it later became the world's number one shipbuilding company.

Under this situation, Li Jiacheng did not attach great importance to the shipbuilding industry, but Yang Ming still attached great importance to it.

Now that Yang Ming and others came here, in addition to seeing ships being built at Huangpu Shipyard.

In fact, he is currently focusing on another very important business of Huangpu Shipyard, which is the ship-breaking business.

Historically, the ship-breaking business in Xiangjiang has always been very large, including World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, etc., and a large number of scrapped ships were towed to Xiangjiang for re-dismantling and processing.

This also became a very important part of the sources of Xiangjiang Steel at that time.

However, later on, Xiangjiang developed towards the real estate industry, and the business of Xiangjiang, the largest ship-breaking center in Asia and even the world, gradually disappeared.

Now, it is rising again.

This is precisely because of Yang Ming.

Since two years ago, the Imperial Group has started to do second-hand flipping business in Sulian, and it is getting bigger and bigger. Sulian and Eastern Europe really have no money.

However, Sulian still has many old ships.

During this period, in addition to the internal chaos and division of the family, Su Lian could only sell many ships as second-hand in order to obtain more finances.

The Imperial Group bought these second-hand old ships.

Except for some of them, Yang Ming sold them to domestic and even big dogs in the Middle East, and some of them were really too old and of little use. Yang Ming directly had people tow them back to the port near the Huangpu dock in Xiangjiang.

Then these scrapped ships from Soviet Union and even Yugoslavia were dismantled here, and the large amount of steel inside became the source of steel materials for Xiangjiang Iron and Steel Company and Haojiang Iron and Steel Company.

These steels are bought back at a very cheap price after being dismantled, and then smelted into new steel and exported to all parts of the world.

And now here, Huangpu Shipyard Ship Recycling Group, there are nearly 30,000 regular employees. According to the current situation, the number of employees may grow to 50,000 or even 60,000.

Historically, this area has been completely demolished by Lijiacheng and then built into commercial buildings and commercial housing communities.

However, now it has become a ship-breaking center.

This can be regarded as turning waste into treasure.

"Boss, there are too many old ships here."

Lin Xiuzhi and others looked out from a high place, but it was still too scary to see the densely packed old ships.

As for Sulian, a big country, historically, its naval strength has not been inferior to that of Europe and the United States, so naturally it has a large number of old ships left.

"Soon, there will be big guys coming in."

Big deal?

"Boss, what big guy?"

"Sulian's aircraft carrier."

Soviet aircraft carrier?

Lin Xiuzhi and others looked at all this in disbelief.

The Soviet Union Navy built a total of "ships" in its history, 7 of which were officially put into service and 2 were abandoned before they were completed.

This is a Project 1123 "Mosko" class helicopter anti-submarine cruiser, three Project 1143 "Kiev" class aircraft carrier cruisers, one Project 1143.4 "Kiev modified" aircraft carrier cruiser, and two Project 1143.5 "Kuznet" Zov" class aircraft carrier, and one is a Project 1143.7 "Ulyanovsk" class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"Moscow" 1 water, 1 decommissioned, dismantled in 1997.

"Leningrad" 1 water, 11995 dismantled.

The "Kiev" was launched on the 1st and carried out the 11th battle.

"Minsk" was launched 1st, put into service 1st, and fought 1st time.

. . .

In Yang Ming's view, these so-called Sulian aircraft carriers are not actually real aircraft carriers.

Moreover, not only is it very old, its performance in all aspects is still much worse than that of real aircraft carriers in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, many of these aircraft carriers were sold quickly after the Soviet Union disintegrated. In addition to being sold to various countries, some were directly dismantled.

And there is another ship in it which is of great significance.

That is, the 'Varyag' was sold to China by Ukraine under very tortuous history and became the first domestically modified aircraft carrier.

Of course, this aircraft carrier is now also bought by Yang Ming.

He has even notified the country in advance to see if it likes it. If it likes it, it will be given to the country. If it does not like it, then it will be demolished just like the others.

At this time, all the big guys in Sulian were sold cheaply by Goose Kingdom, Wu Kelan, and Sulian, and they left Sulian one after another, and then prepared to come to Xiangjiang.

As for why Europe and the United States agree?

For Europe and the United States, this is actually weakening the strength of Soviet Union and even Goose Country. How could Europe and the United States disagree?
