The party was held at the staff restaurant of Waitaoqiao Group.

Waitaoqiao Group invited famous chefs to cook the excellent Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. In addition to being slightly light for carnivores like Luo Jia, the taste is impeccable.

There were hundreds of people at the scene, including Jiangnan, Hudong, and even Zhoushan, Jinling, and the bosses of several nearby shipyards. In addition, the owner of the Swallowtail Butterfly, COSCO Shipping, and some local leaders.

What surprised Luo Jia was Lu Junlin, the personal secretary of the old general in the capital. He was actually wearing casual clothes and standing alone in the corner. No one seemed to know him.

Luo Jia found Lu Junlin and hurried over.

"Mr. Luo, we're meeting again." Lu Junlin said with a smile.

Luo Jia looked around in surprise, "Yes, it was indeed a surprise. I didn't expect you to come too."

Lu Junlin shook his head gently, "No need to look for it. The general occasionally felt cold and was in poor health, so he stayed in the capital and sent me to the Jiangnan Shipyard to find out the situation."

Luo Jia suddenly looked concerned and said that the general must take care of his health. He also asked Lu Junlin what he went to Jiangnan Shipyard to understand.

"Of course it's the progress of the shipbuilding." Lu Junlin said, "The bulk cargo ship in Waigaoqiao has already tried sailing, but ours is still building segments, which makes the general very anxious, so no matter what, he must ask me to take a look."

Luo Jia curled his lips. Modern large ships were built in sections, and the entire ship was divided into many parts and finally transported to the dock for combined welding.

Aircraft carriers are the pinnacle of shipbuilding technology. Only a few countries around the world can build them, and they also use segmented construction methods.

"It's useless to be anxious," said Luo Jia. "Warships and civilian ships have never been the same as those of civilian ships. The requirements are much higher. How can the construction progress be the same as that of civilian ships."

Lu Junlin shrugged, "Of course I know this, and the general knows it, but he just can't help but worry. After all, we have been thinking about it for too long."

Secretary Lu came here with people from Jiangnan Heavy Industry. Everyone didn't know him. He thought he was also from Jiangnan. Seeing that he and Luo Jia were having fun chatting, he couldn't help looking here curiously.

Luo Jia simply left the staff restaurant with him and went outside to find a secluded corner.

Lu Junlin came to Shanghai this time to see the progress of the shipbuilding and report to the general when he went back. There was nothing wrong, so he just chatted with Luo Jia.

After the two chatted for a while, Lu Junlin said goodbye.

Luo Jia didn't stop for a long time. After briefly explaining to several persons in charge, he led everyone back to the company.

It was only nine o'clock in the evening, and Luo Jia usually went to bed in the middle of the night and got up before dawn. It was a waste to rest at this time, so he returned to his office to continue studying and working.

As the company grows bigger and bigger, the front line is also spreading longer and longer, which forces Luo Jia to study and absorb new knowledge harder.

Midnight passed in a blink of an eye, and Luo Jia felt a little hungry, but he didn't want to go to the cafeteria for midnight snacks, so he took out a box of instant noodles from the food cabinet.

Taking advantage of the instant noodles, Luo Jia opened the news website and lùn tán.

As expected, the news of the successful trial of the Swallowtail Butterfly occupied the front page headlines and became the most keen topic of discussion among the Chinese people.

The popularity is pretty good, second only to the scandals of traffic stars. After all, shipping is far from everyone's life, and only a few people really understand it.

Luo Jia turned to South Korea again, but found that there was a miserable scene like a doomsday sailing in South Korea.

According to the information provided by the translation software, it turned out that Ms. Park Qingzhu from KBS TV rented a fishing boat with a maximum speed of only 26 knots while live broadcasting the trial voyage of Swallowtail Butterfly.

Normally, tracking a bulk cargo ship at this speed is more than enough.

Who would have thought that the Swallowtail Butterfly had a cruise speed of up to 35 knots, and actually threw KBS TV away from it.

This situation brought great shock to the Korean people. They watched the Swallowtail Butterfly ride the wind and waves with the camera, but they couldn't even catch up with it. The embarrassing cancer was almost incurred.

In contrast, the situation on Neon is better. After all, the family is big and the business is big. Shipbuilding is the pillar industry of South Korea, but it is the sunset industry of Neon.

Back then, Neon once made 50% of the ships on the earth, and was the world's largest shipbuilding country, with no popularity.

Later, South Korea and China slowly snatched away the share, and now only 17% are left. Therefore, the Neon people are more experienced in frustration, which is like a gambler who always loses the game. He gets used to it while losing.

The shipbuilding industry is the three strongest forces in China, Japan and South Korea, but shipping is the world of Europe. Four of the world's five major shipping groups are in Europe.

There was originally a Hanjin Shipping Group in South Korea, which was once a global giant, but unfortunately it was officially declared bankrupt on February 17, 2017 due to poor management.

At present, there are only two shipping companies with global competitiveness in East Asia, including COSCO Shipping and Wanwan Senior Official Rong Shipping. Although the cunning Europeans handed over the shipbuilding work to China, Japan and South Korea, they firmly controlled the lifeline of global marine transportation.

"Damn Chinese, how could they do this?"

"All electricity pushes ships not to sell? Do they want to eat the global shipping market alone?"

"This trick is really too ruthless. The Baltic dry bulk index fell sharply today! European shipping stocks have begun to collapse!"

"First it was the car, now it was the shipping. What exactly did Xingchen Technology do??"

"Why is the European Parliament not fighting back yet!?"

"Chinese ships should be banned from entering Europe!"

In Europe, the news that Xingchen Technology refused to sell electric propulsion technology to Maersk spread wildly and caused an uproar.

The German Photo Bird published an article on the front page, believing that the trial voyage of the Swallowtail Butterfly is of significance comparable to that of Columbus' discovery of the New World and will completely change the history of human shipping.

Photo News believes that it is completely unrealistic to ban Chinese ships from entering Europe. One-fifth of freight and two-three times the speed are temptations that all companies cannot resist.

If China Shipping Company is not used, the logistics cost will increase. This is like a carriage and a car. They cannot be called competition, but a complete generation difference.

tài wù shì bào, British media such as the London Financial Times welcomed electric ships from Star Technology. Anyway, the UK has no shipbuilding and shipping, so why don’t they do it if they can reduce freight?

In fact, just look at the reports of European media and you will find that they are not a monolithic part at all.

Denmark, France and Switzerland media, which own large shipping companies, almost want to strangle Star Technology to death.

Countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, and Spain that do not have much shipping business think electric ships are acceptable, as long as the freight is cheaper.
