Chapter 398 --Sewing Welder

The recruitment of Dahua Shipping Industry is going very smoothly.

A shipyard does need a lot of people, but the number of professional skilled workers is not too large. Dahua Shipping has temporarily set a target of 1,000 people. Some of these positions can be satisfied by the transfer of workers from Dahua Industrial Group itself.

Jichai has always played the role of Dahua training base. As a large diesel engine factory with thousands of people, they have provided hundreds of workers to Dahua Petrochemical, and hundreds of people to Dahua Shipping Industry, which is also easy.

The number of people poaching to Zhongchuan is limited to 200 by Sucheng, plus more than 20 people from social recruitment, as well as technicians from other departments of Jichai and Dahua Shipping Industry, the technicians of the LNG project department are complete.

Inside Dahua Industry, there is a lot of laughter.

Taking this opportunity, Su Cheng also took Shu Lan to inspect the Oceanographic Research Institute of Dahua Laboratory.

The pre-research stage of the LNG project is placed in the Institute of Oceanography.

Gu Haijian put on his white shirt early and stood at the door with several office leaders to greet Su Cheng.

Shu Lan changed into a popular step skirt, which was the front version of the later OL dress. She followed Su Cheng step by step and whispered, " Fortunately, there is no more queue to welcome. It's too uncomfortable."

"The employees of Dahua Shipping Industry are my people. He can't use my people to welcome me, can he?" Su Cheng joked and came forward to shake hands with Gu Haijian and others.

Compared with previous years, Gu Haijian obviously showed his old state, and his temples also had silky white hair. Being a business manager is much harder than a pure technician.

However, Gu Haijian's spirit was very good. He held Su Cheng in his hand and shook it vigorously and said, "Su Dong, I'm about to report the good news to the group headquarters. The Yingang row plate seam welding machine we are working on has applied for two invention patents and has been approved. They are the invention patents of the conductive shaft of the electric welding machine and the welding drive synchronization mechanism of the resistance seam welding machine. Through these two technologies, we can ensure that the sealing of the welding fully meets the requirements.

Su Cheng understood the technology being done by Dahua Laboratory and asked in surprise, "Oh? So fast?"

"Half sale and half free." Gu Haijian smiled twice and said, "It is my younger brother who made these two invention patents. One is studying in France and the other is working in Brazil like me. I made a special trip to pull them back, with a high salary of $100,000 a year, so that they could bring back the unfinished technology, which finally lived up to expectations.

Gu Haijian's speed of speech is very fast. The salary of 100,000 US dollars is very rare even abroad, not to mention the current situation at home.

Although Dahua Industry is a private enterprise, Gu Haijian also takes certain risks to pay such a salary. Now that he has achieved results, he can speak out freely.

Su Cheng himself supported him, and he also asked specifically at this time: "Are there any legal problems with patents? If so, please ask the legal department of the group to come forward and eliminate the impact as soon as possible.

Gu Haijian affirmed: "When they were in their respective companies, they were only in the conceptual stage and did not implement them. The patents all belong to Dahua Laboratory."

"That's good."

As the administrative director of Dahua Laboratory, Li Huanxiang said in due course: "The Yin steel plate seam welding machine being made by Dahua Laboratory is expected to be put into use within this year, which will be the first domestic equipment used in our country for the manufacture of NG ships. We have arranged this in today's itinerary.

In the process of shipbuilding, welding is the most used place, and the automatic welding machine is the inevitable development direction.

Sucheng nodded and chose to cooperate with Korean companies to save money. The contract they signed with the French Atlantic Shipyard itself has loopholes, so South Korea's first proliferation in China has enabled Samsung Heavy Industries and other companies to get the technology of LNG ships.

Through them, Dahua Industry will definitely have less money than the Atlantic Shipyard.

However, this kind of transaction also has a certain risk. The Atlantic Shipyard in France must pass the two knives of South Korea, regardless of the after-sales service of Dahua Industry, whether it is warranty maintenance, or design and production. The current South Korean shipbuilding industry is not like 20 years later, and the level is quite limited.

If Sucheng had not had a deep trust in Dahua's level of self-reliance, he would not dare to use indirect purchase. Continuing to contact the French Atlantic Shipyard is also ready to put pressure on South Korea. If they don't want to sell money, Dahua Industry will find their first Frenchman.

As the group spoke, they arrived at the laboratory.

Dahua purchased two Yin steel plate seam welding machines for research. One of them was used as a prototype, which was only dismantled and not changed, and the other was repaired completely different, and installed several of Dahua's own new technologies.

Like this kind of industrial machine, after understanding the basics, whatever functions you want to add are like playing. However, if you want to buy a machine with additional functions, you will pay more. During the construction of a ship, a mode of seam welding machine will definitely not work.

Dahua has thoroughly studied a kind of equipment, which can reduce its own costs even if it cannot be used for production profit.

A $200 million LNG ship costs $20 million even if it is reduced by 10%.

With the tradition of manufacturing in China, the cost of manufacturing the first batch of products can exceed the average cost of the country, but then the cost will decline to less than 50% of the average cost. Finally, manufacturing in China has completely completed the dream of capitalism and provided cheaper products for the whole society. By the way Get excess profits.

Since Sucheng has started to make LNG ships, he focuses on reducing the cost of LNG ships significantly. The improvement of production tools is naturally the first.

Gu Haijian's junior Bai Muyun personally operated the seam welding machine and gave a demonstration to everyone.

This is a device that looks like a large vacuum cleaner, and the sliding rail installed below ensures that it is welded in the correct direction. When Bai Muyun successfully introduced the arc, he saw the seam welding machine moving forward slowly. While welding, he sprinkled a large amount of fish-like materials on the weld, and there was no trace of firelight.

In about 10 minutes, a steel plate was welded. Bai Muyun [Xing] said excitedly, "If we don't consider the patent, we can already produce our own seam welding machine, but it will take an estimated one or two years to bypass the patent."

Su Cheng is not forbidden to touch it with his hands. The welding is really tightly stitched.

Bai Muyun coughed heavily and said, "Su Dong, Yin Gang can't touch it with his hands."

"What do you say?"

"Yingang is easy to rust. The sweat on people's hands sticks to Yingang. In less than a quarter of an hour, Yingang will rust, and various indicators have dropped sharply. If it is on the ship, this steel plate will be remade. Bai Muyun raised his hand and said, "When we work, we all wear sheepskin gloves to absorb sweat."

"Sheepskin gloves..." Su Cheng suddenly remembered that there was a ticket of sheepskin gloves in the document he signed. At that time, it was still strange, but he didn't expect it to be used for welders.

The workers in charge of welding Yinwa Steel need at least a few hundred people, so it is not enough to prepare thousands of pairs of gloves.

Su Cheng shook his head. LNG ships really need money everywhere.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said, "So, let's build a ship by the sea, and Yin Gang is also easy to get damp?"

"Yes, it is necessary to establish a completely closed humidity control environment, and it is also necessary to cooperate with strict management. If we damage a piece of Yin steel, we will lose tens of thousands of yuan, which is a very easy cost to lose. Bai Muyun studied mechanical manufacturing, but because of his work, he participated in the construction of the LNG ship, which was one of the reasons why he was poached by the senior Gu Haijian.

Gu Haijian smiled and said, "We have made a plan. The links involving Yingang welding have been specially marked, and we are also trying our best to reduce the risk of humidity."

Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction. After looking around, he let the accompanying people disperse. Then he stopped Zhong Zhigen, Li Wanxiang and Gu Haijian and said, "Everything is ready. We only need the east wind. Let's discuss it again. If there is no problem, we are ready to order steel plates from the steel mill."

"What about technology acquisition? We have to wait until China and South Korea officially establish diplomatic relations before we can find them.

"I already have a clue, and I will be responsible for this matter for the time being." Su Cheng said so, but he didn't have enough confidence.

The South Korean delegation and the [China] delegation, in the process of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, talked about very secrets, or very well kept secrets.

Not to mention notifying the media, even the charter flights of both sides came quietly and left quietly. The Chinese personnel do not pick up the airport, and so do the Korean personnel.

Until the third round, there was no sound from the people.

If it hadn't been for the deep relationship between Dahua Industry, they wouldn't even know whether China and South Korea were talking.

This is because there are too many points and aspects involved in the relationship between China and South Korea. The first thing that is difficult to solve is the North Korea and Taiwan issue. The relationship between South Korea and Taiwan is very good, and the relationship between China and North Korea is also very good. Neither side wants to steal chickens, so it is low-key.

The business negotiations that Dahua Industry can participate in normally can only be carried out after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides.

But for Sucheng, such a driving force is obviously insufficient.

Therefore, he simply booked a small building at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, secretly waiting for the South Korean delegation. During this period, Su Cheng also stayed at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Every morning, he got up and pretended to do morning exercises and went around the field to see if any small building had entered a new state of alert.

Although the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is open to the public, it still requires letters of introduction and other things. Sucheng can flow in it, which is under the light of Mr. Zhou.

After staying like this for a few days, the No. 8 building really quietly moved in.

What he didn't expect was that this team of the South Korean delegation did not mean to come out after living in the small building.

If it hadn't been for the people who sent food in every day, and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came and went repeatedly, I didn't know that there were still people living in it.

Su Cheng waited for two days and found that there was no way to contact him in private. He simply found Ding Zhipeng and asked him to coordinate the meeting with the representative of the South Korean side.
