Chapter 390 The moral high point

Yan Xuecan quickly came to the double-decker attic of Huxin Island, Dahua headquarters.

The living water from the Huangpu River is filled with an area of more than 200 mu, backed by dozens of meters of green hills, just like an urban landscape painting.

The antique arch bridge, starting from one side of the office area, crosses one large and two small lakes. The big one is a place for Dahua employees to relax and entertain, and the small one is mostly used to entertain guests, and it is also a place for Dahua high-level meetings.

Yesterday, Yan Xuecan heard that the chairman and COSCO's shipping talks were not going well. At that time, he didn't take it seriously. He thought it was just some conditions that could not be negotiated. For a multi-billion-dollar project, it was not a big deal to talk about it for a few more days.

However, a document this morning made Yan Xuecan unable to sit still.

Dahua Industry handed out the official document of labor cooperation to COSCO Shipping. Surprisingly, COSCO Shipping officially rejected Dahua Industry's request in an official letter.

With Yan Xuecan's understanding of state-owned enterprises, this means that COSCO Shipping has completely closed the door to labor cooperation with Dahua Industry.

The relationship between COSCO Shipping and Dahua Industry is so good that they have rejected Dahua Industry. The attitude of other shipyards can be imagined.

In China, there are technicians with experience in building cargo ships of more than 10,000 tons. [China] Only a few large shipyards of state-owned enterprises are available in China. The small owners of the shipyard who once cooperated with Dahua Transportation Company have made a ship of 3,000 to 5,000 tons. What is a liquefied natural gas ship? I'm afraid I haven't heard of it.

As the initiator of the LNG ship, Yan Xuecan was quite complicated when he saw the official letter.

Hiddenly, he has such an expectation: he is the only executive promoted from the Dahua shipping industry in the Dahua series, and it can be said that he is the most familiar with the ship. If Dahua Shipping expands its LNG shipyard into hundreds of millions of dollars, its value and status will naturally become more and more prominent.

Therefore, I heard that there was a meeting on the island in the middle of the lake, and Yan Xuecan ran away.

In the second-floor attic covered by green trees, Yan Xuecan felt that it was still early and pushed the door downstairs open with a snap.

A cool breeze came through the hall.

In the room, two rows of people looked at him strangely.

Yan Xuecan narrowed his eyes and found that Su Cheng, Huo Chang, Li Huanxiang and Qin Shiwei of Dahua Laboratory, Zhong Zhigen and Zhang Chao of the Strategic Division, and Gu Haijian of the Ocean Institute were shocked.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Zhigen's position in Dahua was detached. As soon as he spoke, he eased Yan Xuecan's tension.

"I was notified of the meeting, but I didn't expect to be late." Yan Xuecan didn't dare to make a gag when facing Su Cheng.

"The official meeting is upstairs. We are early." Qin Shiwei had a good impression of Yan Xuecan and gently helped him relieve the siege.

"Sit down." Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "There are still 30 minutes to leave. We are discussing the issue of Dahua Shipping Industry, and it happens that you are familiar with the situation. Listen to it first."

After waiting for Su Cheng to finish speaking, Huo Chang pretended to be black-faced and said, "Don't be so reckless next time, especially the conference hall of Huxin Island. I think we should take some security measures here in the future."

Yan Xuecan was disgraced and didn't dare to talk nonsense. In the company, Huo Chang is qualified and has a high status. He positions himself as a pure assistant. He usually does not directly participate in the company's business decisions, but he is very close to the company's internal discipline and other matters, and employees have a natural fear when they see him.

Under the signal of Su City, the meeting reopened.

After listening for a while, Yan Xuecan knew that he was discussing how to buy technology from South Korea. In the final analysis, the LNG ship is a cargo ship. What is better than a warship is that it can be copied in large quantities with the previous design drawings. It will not be like a warship. It has to consider many personalized needs... Similarly, although the technology of shipbuilding is difficult, it is not mysterious.

Su Cheng also knew something about it, so he dared to make a LNG ship.

Historically, France's Atlantic Shipyard once came to [China] countries around 95 to promote LNG ships, hoping to sell the whole set of technology to China. There was a heated discussion inside the ship. At that time, the [China] country, which had not used natural gas on a large scale, had no choice about whether to build its own LNG ships. The idea that it was better to buy was better than to buy, and the idea that buying was better to rent was once popular. As a result, the excellent opportunity in the 1990s was missed.

It turns out that self-built LNG ships can not only save money, but also drive a whole industrial chain. From the point of view, it is at least much more reliable than self-developed cars.

From the worst perspective, in a country without LNG ships, the safety of natural gas is not guaranteed at all. If foreign countries want to blockade, as long as the owners of every LNG ship are urged not to lease ships to [China] countries, the domestic natural gas market will be in chaos. The most terrible thing is not that such a thing really happens, but that the other party's threat will happen...

Oil tankers and LNG ships are nuclear and hydrogen bombs in the energy field. Owning them does not necessarily bring huge benefits, but without them, it is possible to suffer huge losses and unfair treatment.

Countries that suffered nuclear blackmail during the Cold War and [China] countries that suffered nuclear blackmail before the Cold War have experienced this feeling.

No matter how strong the conservatives in the ship are, they can't go against the trend. Especially when the value of natural gas is revealed, it is natural for LNG ships to get on board.

Unfortunately, due to two years' delay, the three sets of technologies of LNG ships have formed patent barriers. South Korea, which started six years earlier, got into the circle. [Zhongzhong] The country fell behind and was actually dragged further and further. It was not until more than 10 years later that it returned to the strategic position in 1995 again

Su Cheng is not like the leader of China Shipping. His confidence in natural gas is undoubtedly strong. Therefore, once you decide to be an LNG ship, you have to enter the professional barriers before the three major systems of LNG ships are formed. According to the international law, as long as Dahua Shipping Industry can have some patents that the other party cannot bypass, it can obtain all production authorizations through patent exchange.

At that time, the later shipyards will have to pay these patented shipyards. If I increase or decrease you, there will be a big difference in competitiveness.

South Korean enterprises have used this method to get rid of [China] China for at least 15 years. In detail, the two sides used to stand on the same starting line.

Su Cheng listened carefully to Li Huanxiang's explanation of the technical nodes that Dahua was about to enter.

It is unrealistic and unnecessary to develop all the huge system of liquefied natural gas ships. Because the relevant patents in many countries only have 10 to 20 years, as soon as a company has formed a monopoly, the patent may expire. Therefore, forming a continuous wave of patents is much more useful than strictly guarding patent dams.

The patent barriers formed by several companies are also safer than the patent barriers of one company, and can avoid various rules and regulations of anti-monopoly law.

This kind of technical discussion is the research institute's favorite. Li Yanxiang talked endlessly, and he hardly had to read the notebook in his hand.

Yan Xuecan scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, thinking: If we don't have workers, what's the use of being skilled? Do you hire all Germans?

There are many foreign skilled workers in Dahua Petrochemical. This is determined by the particularity of the ethylene equipment. But the working hours used by the shipyard are also thousands. It is normal to use 20,000 working hours to make an LNG ship. If you choose foreign workers, you will be swallowed up at least 20% of the profit.

When Li Huanxiang finished speaking, Yan Xuecan took the lead and said, "COSCO Shipping rejected our request for labor cooperation and returned the official letter of the legal amount. Have you seen it?"

Su Cheng looked at Zhong Zhigen and said with a smile, "We saw it. With the official letter, I asked He Han.

Yan Xuecan was stunned: "Why?"

"COSCO Shipping is subject to SASAC. Their appetite is too big, so not only COSCO Shipping, but also the subordinate units of Ocean Group and China Shipping Group are almost useless. I asked them to publish an official letter, so that no one would turn black and white upside down in the future.

Yan Xuecan's eyes were wide open, and the subordinate units of Ocean Group and China Shipbuilding Group could not be used. Where can there be shipbuilders in China?

When he tried his best to recall, Yang Ming knocked on the door and came in. He whispered, "Dalian Ocean Shipping Group Company also refused."

"Official letter?"

"Official letter."

Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

Yan Xuecan couldn't understand and couldn't help asking, "What should we do?"

"What should I do?"

"Workers. Do you cultivate it yourself? Yan Xuecan said, calculated himself and said, "If you want to train a qualified worker, if you use the teaching method, you will be a teacher in about 6 months. If you cooperate with our old workers, it is estimated that it will be okay to make a hull. But... Alas, why don't you send it abroad for training? I know that both Ben and the French shipyard are doing this kind of business. With 3 to 8 months of training, you can get a relatively advanced welder certificate, but the cost is a little higher..."

Listening to his wordy words, Su Cheng waved his hand with a smile and said, "If you don't do labor cooperation, it's not that you can't find workers. Without Zhang Butcher, there are only hairy pigs?"

Yan Xuecan is a person who has done his homework. As soon as he heard it, he was anxious and said, "Dong Su, don't you want to dig people? That won't work. Forget one or two. We need at least a few hundred workers. If we dig it down with a shovel, the ship will definitely be annoyed.

"Huh?"

Yan Xuecan saw Su Cheng listening and quickly said, "The workers in several major shipyards are all state workers. You really want to dig people. As long as you don't put the files on the ship, we will be blind. In case of an administrative order from the ship, what should we do?

Su Cheng looked at Zhong Zhigen again, smiled and said, "You said, Lao Zhong has thought about it."

"Have you thought about it?"

Zhong Zhigen nodded and smiled, "We have thought of a way, and the official letter is part of this method."

Yan Xuecan was a smart man and asked hesitantly, "Do you show weakness to the enemy?"

"That's what it means. To be precise, it's standing at the commanding heights of morality." Zhong Zhigen paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Look, the response of the Chinese ship will not be faster than that of PetroChina."
