Chapter 2788

Bai Letong has a background in liberal arts and has been engaged in cultural and educational work. He can be regarded as a layman in the field of shipping and logistics. Fortunately, during his previous visits to North Korea and Japan with the mission, he had a little contact with some work in this area, so he would not be ignorant of it.

After listening to Ning Qi's explanation, Bai Letong knew how to sort out these cargo lists, straighten out the loading and unloading arrangements for each dock along the way, and calculate the approximate time required for the port.

As long as you understand the logic, it is actually not difficult to operate.It's just that there are many invoices, and the process of sorting out the statistics is quite time-consuming, and there are also a lot of data that need to be calculated in the middle. After a long time, it is also quite a mental work.

The two started working when the fleet left Hangzhou. By the time the fleet joined the cargo fleet in Shengsi Islands, more than half of the work had been completed, and the efficiency was not much lower than that of the professional team of the Shipping Department.

However, how to formulate the voyage according to the route was unfamiliar to both of them, and the progress of the work slowed down immediately at this stage.Ning Zijing had no choice but to ask Bai Kesi for off-site assistance, and went to get an accompanying naval officer to assist them in their work.

When the fleet sailed into the waters near Huai'an Mansion, Bai Letong and Ning Zijing finally completed the task assigned by Bai Kesi, and hurriedly took the written plan to hand over the task.

"A qualified fleet commander must constantly revise the voyage arrangement according to the fleet's progress. If you are closed in the cabin like you and make a car behind closed doors, the plan formulated may be divorced from the actual situation." Bex has not read the written documents of the two. plan, they poured a basin of cold water on them first.

Seeing the dissatisfaction on the expressions of the two young men, Bex continued: "Apart from anything else, do you know where the fleet is now, what the sea conditions are like in the nearby waters, and the average speed during the period from Hangzhou Bay to our location?" how many?"

The two of them hadn't left the cabin for three days in order to catch up with work, and when they planned the voyage later, almost all the data needed came from the dictation of naval officers, without actual calculations, so how could they answer Bex's questions.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, knowing that the problem Bex pointed out was true, and immediately had no thought of refuting it.

Seeing this, Beks began to look through the plans they made.

In fact, the Department of Shipping has already prepared the voyage plan for the northbound fleet in advance according to the normal process. However, Bai Kesi took this opportunity to test Ning Zijing. Since Ning Zijing brought Bai Letong in again, he also Happy to let these two young men try it out.

As for whether the plan they made was feasible, Bex didn't have high hopes.His purpose was to let the two young men get exercise, and he didn't really intend to use their plans to direct the actions of the fleet.

But after looking through it, Beks felt the intentions of the two young people.Compared with the plan of the Maritime Department, the plan they made is not thorough, but it is also quite feasible. Considering the level of beginners, it is quite good.

The missing part is exactly the problem pointed out by Bai Kesi before. The plan made by the two only focuses on paper data, with too little consideration for the actual situation, leaving no room for adjustment.

Beks put down their plan, and said in a deep voice, "It's not easy for you to come up with a corresponding plan in such a short period of time, and some flaws are inevitable. Considering everything comprehensively, the performance can be regarded as passing."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. To get such an evaluation, at least the work of the past few days was not in vain.

Beks continued: "But don't get too complacent. You should keep records for the rest of the trip, and compare them to see if there are any problems with your plan. I will test you again when I return."

The two quickly agreed, but they had the same thought in their hearts—it seemed that this trip to the north was not as easy and pleasant as the one from Sanya to Hangzhou before.

All the way north from the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are no decent ports in Yangzhou Prefecture and Huai'an Prefecture along the coast, and the fleet has no docking arrangements. It sails straight north to Qingdao Port in Jiaozhou Bay.

Jiaozhou Bay has a superior geographical location, good hydrological conditions, and sea water that is not frozen all year round. However, before the construction of Qingdao Port started last year, there was actually no decent large-scale port here.

The northern region has high hopes for the development prospects of Qingdao Port, not only to make it another important seaport on the Jiaodong Peninsula, but also to make this port carry military functions and become one of the main stations of the Northern Fleet.

After the port is completed, the ships of the Northern Fleet do not need to go south to Zhoushan Port for the winter during the freezing season, but can directly station in Qingdao Port.The military expenditure that can be saved every year by this will of course not be a small amount.

Although it didn't take long to start construction, when the fleet arrived here, it was not difficult to find that the port planning here had begun to take shape.The port terminal located on the east coast of the harbor is several kilometers long. Although it is still under construction, it can be seen that dozens of various cargo ships have already docked here.

Standing on the side of the ship, you can see that there are already several hangers on the coast that are lifting goods. There are many warehouse buildings under construction in the distance, and there are freight tracks being laid on the ground. In time, here It will definitely be a large port with complete facilities.

"This bay is really big!" Bai Letong, who came here for the first time, couldn't help admiring the scene before him.

Bai Kesi said: "This harbor is about sixty miles wide from east to west, and eighty miles long from north to south. Its area is much larger than the entire urban area of ​​Sanya. In addition to building a port, shipyards, salt farms, and seafood processing plants can also be built here in the future. Such facilities can feed more than 20 to [-] people without any problem."

Bai Letong said: "The businesses my father mentioned must have already been started by businesses, right?"

Ning Zijing took the conversation and said: "As far as I know, Qiong Lianfa and Fu Ruifeng have already set up shops here. As long as it is confirmed that the government will continue to develop this place, it will definitely follow what Uncle Jian said. large industries."

The sense of smell of capital is always the keenest, especially the southern capital, which started from shipping, favors an environment like Qingdao Port even more.Merchants in the south know how to make profits by operating ports and shipping, and they will definitely not miss the stage of staking land in the early stage of port construction.

Merchants from the south are often well-capitalized, and the funds that can be mobilized are tens of millions of yuan. They will invest decisively after seeing the development prospects of a certain area. The first-mover advantage obtained from this will make it difficult for latecomers to catch up .
