Chapter 177 Power Positioning

When I closed the door of the office, the noise in the workshop suddenly decreased a lot.

Su Cheng pulled a piece of cloth, wiped the oil on his hand, washed his hands and asked, "Mr. Simon, Mr. Jensen. How do you feel when you come to visit?

Despite the stains on his hands, Jason still shook hands and smiled, "We have come all the way from the factory. Your factory is more beautiful than those high-tech companies."

Turning around, Jason asked strangely, "Why did Su Dong do machining in person?"

"I'm learning, too." Su Cheng smiled and said, "In today's factories, there are accountants and cashier, and the technology has laboratory support. What I can do is to go to the factory and work with everyone."

He said that he pointed to the banner hanging on the top of the workshop: work hard for 100 days and take the big platform!

The translation is in long English, and the difficult explanation is given to two foreigners.

Simon shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Su Cheng, even if you have reached the single-piece prefabrication stage, there are still fragment prefabrication, vertical piece assembly, structural assembly, accessory assembly and structural painting. I'm afraid 100 days is not enough."

"That's why I went to the battle myself." Su Cheng looked at Simon and said softly, "Our workers work 12 hours a day. 8 hours of normal work, 4 hours of inspection and study time. It's different from you."

Europeans in the 1970s were still very struggling. In fact, the post-war generation of European workers worked much harder than Chinese workers. It took them more than 20 years to restore the industry, improve the finance, and create a brand-new welfare system. By the end of the 1980s, workers who used to work 16 hours a day were still on the assembly line, just because of the salary and the union. Don't work hard anymore.

Simon's Fenor company doesn't like workers to work overtime. For them. The cost of overtime for workers is not only expensive overtime pay, but also increased insurance costs. If the union pays attention to it, it will inevitably increase the lawyer's fees.

Simon turned his head and said, "If Chinese workers can have the efficiency of Hamburg workers, they can work 12 hours a day, and maybe they can complete the drilling platform in 100 days."

Su Cheng did not explain this and said with a smile, "If there is a chance, I will take you to see our production line."

"Is it okay now?" Simon asked.

"I thought you had something else to do?" Su Cheng looked at Jensen.

Americans have no choice but to be incompassionate with Germanic people. We had to help explain: "We are also curious about Dahua's offshore oil platform. Call earlier. It's also about platform technology.

"Okay. Then go to the production line and talk about it while watching. Su Cheng put on labor insurance clothes again, drank two sips of water, and asked, "Which technology are you interested in?"

Simon didn't hide it and said, "Your anti-leakage system."

"Good vision. That's really a few complete improvements we have made in the simplified version. Su Cheng opened the door while talking, and the noise outside came in again.

After the translation instructions, Simon immediately asked, "Complete improvement in the simplified version? Do you have any other improvements?

After he was in a hurry, he spoke German. After a lot of tossing, everyone ran to the front.

Simon and Jason quickly followed, looking at the workers and equipment along the way, they were also secretly amazed.

The production line of the four workshops stretches for two kilometers and consists of three coherent workshops. Equipment manufacturing of offshore drilling platforms. It is not like a large-scale automobile production line, using a fully automatic assembly line. On the contrary, because many parts are unique, and parts are purchased in large quantities by supporting factories, the workshop work here is more like an engine production line with a lower level of assembly line. Achieve high accuracy.

The transportation between production lines is basically track and unpowered vehicles, as well as a large number of pulleys. These are the familiar methods of petrochemical and chemical factories. Large cans with a diameter of tens of meters and hundreds of meters, professional servo machines and large motors, etc. are all one order for one or two, which is naturally different from small machinery such as automobiles.

The large diesel engine made by Jinan Power Engine Factory is almost the same way. The basic work in the workshop also uses the original team of Jinan Power Engine Factory.

I only see the sky and the earth, all the materials are moving. Large-scale equipment such as automatic plate rolling machine, dozens of tons of iron plate, and the materials abused by the die forging machine are often more than ten meters long. They are transported in one by one. After processing, they continue to be transported to the front workshop.

Workers who work 12 hours a day are all like tight clocks, accurately and powerfully and step by step to complete their work.

Jensen and Simon, who are familiar with industry, know that it is very tiring to work accurately in the established order, and it is almost difficult to maintain **.

There is only one situation that can produce the current effect.

Big industry**!

The revival of Germany with the desire for war in the 1930s, the dangerous Soviet Union burning the flames of hatred in the 1940s, the victory of the United States that longed to dominate the world in the 1950s, and the recovery of Britain in the 1960s...

Only those who are full of hope can burst out their burning enthusiasm on the cold machinery.

Simon couldn't help recalling the hamburger workers he had come into contact with. Proud German workers are also known for their clock-like punctuality. They go to work on time every day, get off work on time, rest on time, drink coffee on time, receive overtime pay on time, participate in union activities on time, strike on time, and receive strike compensation on time...

The two quickly caught up with Su Cheng and heard him shout, "What do you think?" Simon told the truth and said in English, "Compared with these Chinese workers, Hamburg workers are more like machinery, like a supplement to machines. I admit that the efficiency of Chinese workers is no less than that of Hamburg workers. However, this way of working is not sustainable.

"This is where national enterprises are powerful." Su Cheng pointed to the direction of the office building and smiled, "As long as there is a right reason, our management can continue to stimulate enthusiasm. In history, this enthusiastic way of working has lasted for 20 years, but it has stopped because of interruption."

Su Cheng raised a finger. He said, "The correct method is to clarify the continuous business ideas. China's state-owned enterprises can do much better than bureaucratic enterprises like IBM and General Motors.

Simon and Jason both smiled.

Jason said with a smile, "Bureaucratic enterprises like IBM are rare in the world."

Simon smiled twice, looked at the fitter in front of him, and his face slanted.

Su Cheng looked back and smiled secretly. What the Germans see is the only second level 8 fitter in Jinan Power Factory. Although this kind of national treasure workers listen to a lot, in fact, there were only a few thousands of people in China in the late 1980s. One point in various departmental, deputy departmental and departmental factories. They are all rare varieties.

Simon nodded slightly and asked, "How many such workers do you have?"

"7."

"7!" Simon's face was full of surprise.

"That's right." Su Cheng's performance was very casual. In fact, even if Shengli Oilfield is strong, Sucheng has borrowed a total of five eighth-level workers. Two of them were still as large as PetroChina's heavy industry, which was delivered in a learning attitude and for the sake of payment in US dollars.

Due to the level of machining, seven platinum rare Grade 8 workers, plus hundreds of silver rare Grade 5 and Grade 6 workers, are almost the minimum requirements for making large shallow sea oil platforms.

How did Simon know the secret inside? He was surprised and jealous and said, "How can you use seven such workers to process the bottom sea drilling platform?"

"What should I do?"

"At least it's a self-lift offshore drilling platform. You know such a worker. How much can I get the annual salary? 200,000 marks, 200,000!"

The German mark in 1989 has appreciated, and Sioux City does not remember the specific exchange rate, but after 2000, workers can reach the level six or seven. There are a lot of people who get an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, and it is not uncommon for a level 8 fitter to get 500,000 yuan. However, at that time, Chinese enterprises had lost such an effective worker incentive system, and the unified use of "migrant workers" or "workers" is called...

Su Cheng spread out his hand and said, "In China now, the status of these workers is higher than that of your general manager and chairman. It's useless to just give money."

"Really?" Jason didn't believe it, and he was eager to try.

Simon moved forward and observed the newly built production line.

For Fenor's shipping industry, it is not too much to call the Chinese production line simple, but after a little observation of their finished products, Simon can't say the word simple anyway.

A pipe, after being installed by four workers, quickly left the machine.

Simon said secretly: With such a speed and a 24-hour shift, it may take less than 100 days to complete.

After a while, Jason also came over and asked, "How's it going?"

Simon looked around and said in his heart, "Although the platform has become bigger, it is also the standard of the second-generation platform."

Jason nodded, which is normal.

Seeing that Su Cheng did not keep up, Simon said, "But it's a little strange..."

"Huh?"

"I saw a turbine device, like a power device, but it was used on a drilling platform? It's a little weird." Simon said, "I want to take a closer look. I'm blocked by others."

Jason didn't do specific technology, but he knew the market very well and asked doubtfully, "What kind of turbine?"

"It's very big, and a large number of electronic devices are installed, which seems to be very sensitive." Simon frowned.

While listening to his explanation, Jason was on tiptoe to see the situation of the front production line. At the same time, he described the shape of the turbine in his mind. Listening and listening, he suddenly felt it and asked, "There should be several turbines."

"That's right."

"Isn't that something like a propeller?"

With just a word, Simon woke up and said, "Are they doing power positioning?"

"I guess so."

"Power positioning is to hover the ship with power. A huge ocean current turbine should be generated under the drilling platform, and the flow of seawater will have a reaction force, so that the platform can be fixed. Simon shook his head and said, "Power positioning is much more expensive than anchor positioning. Is it necessary to use it on shallow water platforms? They pay so much attention to the price.

"Maybe it's a technical reserve for the future. Power positioning combined with anchor positioning can greatly improve the safety and drilling efficiency of the drilling platform. In this way, it will make up for the shortcomings of their platform..." Jason looked at Simon and said, "If it can really be done, I guess it can withstand the waves of 5 meters high."

The price of the marine drilling platform provided by Fenor is 6 million US dollars, and the standard is only normal oil production under a 3-meter wave, wind-moving standby under a 4-meter wave, and the innate disadvantage of anchor positioning, which cannot be compensated by the small technology of the platform.

Simon said with a grotesque expression, "That also requires them to really do it."
