Chapter 419 Cooperative Production

Looking at Dahua Industry returning with a full load, Rong Shangguo's eyes were also a little relaxed.

The time conditions for the signing of these bidding contracts were so harsh that although Rong Shangguo wanted to win several high-priced contracts, he finally gave up.

Thinking about the liquidated damages of tens of millions of yuan, the lofty ambition before Rong Shangguo's departure quietly disappeared, but he sighed. Sitting on the plane, he couldn't help asking Sucheng a similar question: "9 ships, can Dahua Shipping Industry be finished?"

"Of course, Dahua Shipping has been expanding since last year. Moreover, we use the flatland shipbuilding method without the restrictions of the dock, and we can start construction at the same time.

"In case it can't be completed, I'm afraid the shipping company will suffer a huge blow."

"If it is hundreds of millions of yuan, you can only admit the compensation." Su Cheng smiled and said, "If you don't sign the contract today, if the ship market becomes weak, I'm afraid the order will become a problem again."

"By the way, I always feel that it's too risky."

Su Cheng smiled and did not respond. Su Cheng has seen a lot of state-owned enterprises like Rong Shangguo in recent years. To put it in the good way, they are cautious, and in the bad way, they lack courage.

The 30-year planned economy is not training managers, but choosing managers, just like natural selection. The management officials who are cautious are left behind, and bold will eventually be excluded, just like an organism's rejection of non-self cells.

Rong Shangguo is already one of the many open officials in China. He knows English skills and has received many years of party spirit education. However, from Su Cheng's point of view, he is still conservative. In the face of the sudden reduction in bidding price and bidding time, there is no flexibility to reduce expectations... The opportunity for heavy industry has always been fleeting.

A ship design, it's good to be able to build 10 ships. It's lucky to build 2 ships. A set of equipment will look old after 10 years of use. If it can't run at full capacity in 10 years, the profit will be very meager.

The delivery time of 9 months may indeed be a little short, but without advanced technology such as flatland shipbuilding, it is not impossible to mobilize the workers of the whole factory.

It can only be said that decades of leisure work have erased the factor of their struggle.

I left in the morning and returned to the port at noon.

After getting off the plane, Rong Shangguo said a little reluctantly, "This bidding is really crazy, alas... Zhongchuan is going to live a hard life this year."

Su Cheng shrugged his shoulders. The burden of China Shipping itself is very heavy. Towards the end of the year, there are no high-profit orders. I'm afraid there will be problems with the repayment of the supplier.

Rong Shangguo took a look at him and chatted, "In recent years, prices have risen rapidly. Office cadres and industrial units are raising wages, and our employees also have requirements. The year before last, the finance department calculated an account, saying that there were only 300 million left, so we paid a little overtime pay for the front-line employees, thinking that when the situation is good in the coming year, we will raise everyone's salary. As a result, last year, I lost more than 100 million yuan. This year, the whole factory has built two more big ships. In the end, it can only be regarded as flat as it is now.

Su Cheng knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't want to follow his will. He just sighed: "In the past few years, the life of the enterprise has been difficult."

"That's right." Rong Shangguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "90 years ago, the salary of our front-line workers was 100 yuan, and the bonus was 100 yuan. At that time, government officials only got 1,000 yuan a year. When the cadres in the city mention the ship, who is not envious? The workers are also full of energy. I remember that in 1988, there was a newly transferred deputy director who liked our monthly salary of 107 yuan plus a bonus of 120 yuan, so he wanted to put his partner to work in our factory. The party committee studied it for a few days and didn't give it. He was so angry... Up to now, our front-line workers still get a salary of 200 yuan. Guan cadres also get 200 yuan. Their bonus is two or three hundred yuan, and our bonus is one or twenty yuan. Shame on you!"

"The country has difficulties, there is nothing we can do." Su Cheng said casually.

Rong Shangguo sighed: "Our work efficiency is indeed not as good as that of private enterprises, but over the years, we have done a lot of things. The foundation of the country is thin. We build large ships on our own, and the capital of the enterprise is small. We advance funds to support the construction of the country... Our workers have sweated and shed blood. Our products cover all the main warships and auxiliary ships of the navy. Our civil ships have passed the world's major class from nothing. The inspection of the society is really not easy.

He looked at Su Cheng and said, "Our workers deserve better treatment."

Su Cheng rubbed his fingers, lowered his head for a moment and said, "Mr. Rong, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"It's sad at the end of the year." Rong Shangguo looked at the exit in front of him, stopped, and then said, "As we said before, we bid separately, each bear our own responsibilities, and cooperate in production. The 9 ships were bid by Su Dong. Of course, they are the bid of Su Dong. The Chinese ship is also willing to cooperate with Dahua Shipping Industry in production, but... the ship

"Well, according to what we said earlier, if China Shipping is willing to cooperate in production, it can get up to 30% of the profit. If Mr. Rong is interested, let's see how much we can divide it when we go back."

"That's not what I mean..." Rong Shangguo touched his chin and said, "Dahua is willing to separate production for Zhongchuan. This is friendship. However, I have an unsponsible request. According to the regulations, the shipowner has to pay about 30% of the deposit to the shipyard..." The shipyard has to advance more than 50% before receiving the second money.

Rong Shangguo said shyly, "I want to ask if the work distributed to the ship can also be counted as a deposit for us?"

Su Cheng understood and couldn't help sighing.

The large state-owned shipyard can't be opened.

Although I have heard of this kind of thing before and expected it, it is still very touching to encounter it.

There are tens of thousands of employees, but the factory with hundreds of millions of assets can't pay next month's dues? It only happened in the special period of the 1990s.

His meditation made Rong Shangguo mistakenly think that it was a refusal. He said disappointedly, "There is no need to give a proportional amount of money. 30 million is enough, or 20 million is enough.

Su Cheng waved his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream and said, "Just press the 30% deposit, 30% of 30%, which is about 9%, okay?"

"Of course, of course." Rong Shangguo nodded quickly.

The deposit of 9% of the 9 ships must exceed 50 million. With such a large amount of money, it was originally not necessary to give it to the production factory first. The advance in the heavy industry is very common, and it is also an invisible threshold. No matter what the production is, the shipyard or the lathe is the same. Rong Shangguo hesitated because his requirements exceeded those of ordinary factories, especially when the production qualification had not been finalized.

Su Cheng took two steps forward, stopped again, and said, "Now that it's time for the deposit, I want to talk about outsourcing."

"Of course."

"We want the shipyard of the ship to help make the general section of the ship."

"General paragraph?"

"The segmented shipbuilding method is to divide a ship into more than 100 parts and make splicing separately. The general section is only divided into several parts, which can be manufactured by different shipyards and then transported to the main factory for splicing. Su Cheng explained briefly, and then said, "The best situation is that the shipyard uses the process of segmented shipbuilding to produce the total section, which is the fastest. It's okay not to do this, as long as the total segment can be produced.

There is nothing special about the process of making the general section. Assuming that a ship is divided into six parts, that total segment is equivalent to one-sixth of the hull. The shipyard of China Shipbuilding can produce the whole ship, and naturally it can produce the main section. The most difficult place to limit the popularization of the general section shipbuilding method lies in the precision of welding.

For a 10-story-high ship, when the two general sections are spliced, the upper and lower error cannot exceed 2 centimeters. Such requirements must be carried out by laser ranging and special computer measurement.

Of course, the accuracy requirements of the segmented shipbuilding method are also very high. The difference is that a 30,000-ton ship is divided into 100 parts and 5 parts. The weight and volume of each part are dozens of times different, and the difficulty of splicing will increase accordingly.

For the shipyard. The production difficulty of the workshop of the production section and the shipyard of the production section is actually lower than that of the production of the whole ship by the old method, and the difficulty is all concentrated in the final splicing of the main factory.

Naturally, the main technology is concentrated in the main factory.

Rong Shangguo's level in the shipbuilding industry is ten blocks higher than that of Sucheng, and he immediately understood the path inside.

In fact, he prefers to do the whole ship, even if it is a part of the whole ship, which is more profitable than doing segments and total segments.

However, Dahua decided to build ships in a new way, and Rong Shangguo could not change Sucheng's mind.

People sign contracts with a delivery period of 250 days or 260 days, and the old method is doomed to fail to complete such a feat.

Rong Shangguo can only nod silently. For the current ship, getting a deposit is more important than anything else.

Su Cheng didn't tell him how many general paragraphs he had done.

With the current progress, 9 ships must start work at the same time. With the experience of other shipyards, at least more than 3 shipyards need to be manufactured at the same time.

Dahua uses the giant general section shipbuilding method, which will not really reduce the workload. It just transfers the production of the general section to other shipyards.

9 ships require at least 40 total sections. In theory, it can be produced by 40 shipyards at the same time. In that case, it may not even take 250 days.

However, there is a cost for the shipyard to release materials, giving a quarter of the ship's share of a shipyard, and the larger shipyards are reluctant to accept it. However, if the total number of segments is increased to four, there will be more shipyards willing to accept.

In this way, it may take nine, at least five shipyards to catch up with the progress. There are still doubts about whether China Ship has five shipyards involved. If they are unwilling to take over, Su Cheng can only outsource to foreign shipyards.

The advantage of the general section shipbuilding method is that Dahua Shipping can send 4 bows, or 4 sterns, to the same shipyard.

Compared with building a complete ship, it is obviously easier to build a bow with the same tonnage of 4 knots. If these general sections adopt the segmented shipbuilding method, so that the segmented factory can reproduce the same segment, it will be more simplified.

This was also the time in 1993, when other shipyards in China had not yet begun to adopt the segmented shipbuilding method. Otherwise, Su Cheng dares to bid in 200 days.

Pei Zhongyong, who returned to modern heavy industry, could never imagine what kind of life-threatening results could be produced by the application of new technologies and new ideas.
