Chapter 442 Union

"Actually, the other party came to the door." Su Cheng explained briefly: "In the past two years, the international shipbuilding market was in a downturn, and the order price fell all the way. Some Southeast Asian shipping companies were afraid that they could not support it and received a lot of orders. Since the beginning of this year, the ship market has recovered, but the price of raw materials has risen. Some shipping companies have made one ship to compensate one ship. They found that we are not willing to transfer the giant general section shipbuilding law and the peaceful shipbuilding law, so we simply transferred the shipyard and the order to us..."

"They made a loss, so Dahua won't?" The young members of the research group are very curious.

Su Cheng looked at the boatman next to him and said, "Our cost is at least 30% lower than theirs. Therefore, even the previous order is still profitable. Of course, it's better to have a new order.

He didn't actually say everything. For a shipyard, it is not terrible to have low-priced orders. What is terrible is that there are only low-priced orders.

No matter how low the price of the order is, it is definitely more expensive than the raw materials. The part that shipping companies may lose is only the investment of labor costs and depreciation of equipment. Even if low-priced orders are not profitable, they can at least make up for the labor cost and depreciation of equipment, which is equivalent to the guaranteed salary of the shipyard. As long as some high-priced orders are mixed with bonuses, shipping companies will not only not lose money, but also live a good life.

However, Dahua Industry's intervention in the market has made high-priced orders almost non-existent.

The flood of Chinese people have swept away the orders in the market. As long as they want, Sucheng can make the price to their cost price and make a profit of 20% to 30%. For shipping companies that do not lack low-cost orders, the emergence of Dahua Industry is more terrible than the economic crisis.

Even if many shipyards can continue to operate, the shareholders of the factory may not be happy. The three enterprises acquired by Sucheng are the more active three. Their bosses would rather cash out and withdraw than fall into it endlessly.

"So, there are already three foreign shipping companies under the name of Dahua Industry? How is Dahua going to operate these overseas companies? This problem seems to be more interesting than the ship itself. Chinese enterprises in 1993 have not yet expanded overseas, but the signs have emerged. As policy researchers, it is natural to take a step forward in understanding and language.

Sun Daofu also turned his head curiously. In the past few years, he actually had the opportunity to acquire foreign enterprises, but he failed to do so for various reasons, and the difficulty of management is one of them.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said, "There are indeed three shipping companies, but because they are all small and medium-sized shipping companies, we are not ready to carry out actual operations, but are ready to deal with them further."

"Further processing?" Someone asked doubtfully.

Everyone looked over and seemed to want to hear some business opinions from Su Cheng. Especially the people in shipping enterprises, although they are unwilling to admit it, the development of Dahua Shipping Industry and even the development of Dahua Industry are obvious to all.

Su Cheng nod, stopped for a moment, and then said in everyone's expectation, "We are going to merge two Indonesian shipyards and one Malaysian shipyard into one shipyard to see if we can establish two general-stage factories. But whether it can be successful or not, the main strategy is still layoffs.

"Roffs?" More than one person showed a stunned expression.

Su Cheng spread out his hand and said, "The labor expenditure of the three shipyards is comparable to that of Dahua, and the productivity is only one-third that of Dahua. Even if the general section factory is built, it is difficult to reach two-thirds of the productivity of Dahua's employees. Therefore, layoffs are an inevitable choice. We keep a shipyard to make use of local technicians. Therefore, about 600 people in the two general section of factories is the final scale.

"How many people will be laid off?" Director Zhang of the Employment and Income Distribution Department asked, half curious and half strange. He is still not used to the word layoffs.

In fact, the word laid-off was not popular in 1993. Although the policy level is under discussion, it is still very taboo about things such as laid-off.

Before the national finances are about to go bankrupt, people don't want the country's credit to go bankrupt. On the other hand, as the most advanced class in China, it takes not only courage, but also skill and luck to fire the big brother of workers.

At the last moment, no one can tell the issue of laid-off.

As for dismissals and layoffs, officials are even more taboo. With the rise of private enterprises in the 1990s, layoffs also occurred from time to time. Unlike foreign private enterprises with social security and trade union organizations, the domestic security system has not been extended at all, and officials can't say when it can be extended, so they all made ostriches and stuffed their heads into the ground.

In high-level occasions, it is indeed rare to say "layoffs", which is even more rare for central enterprises such as China Shipbuilding. Even in the era of the fiercest wave of laid-offs, they were not really affected, but some of the benefits and bonuses were affected. The business difficulties encountered in 1993 are still very early for layoffs or layoffs.

Facing everyone's eyes, Su Cheng said with no feeling: "The total number of layoffs is about 5,500. The technical union will keep a little more, and most of the management and general workers will be dismissed.

"Can't you... not lay off staff?" Director Zhang opened his mouth and knew that he had asked a stupid question, but he still said it. This probably belongs to his professional habit. Even if he is a department-level official of the National Development and Reform Commission, sometimes he will still feel a sense of weakness in the face of state-owned enterprises at the vice-ministerial or ministerial level.

Su Cheng suppressed the desire to roll his eyes and said calmly, "If you don't lay off staff, Dahua will raise these 5,500 people."

Rong Shangguo coughed and said, "You can always find another way out. What about these workers if they are laid off?"

"If it is a domestic worker, I may find a way to maintain the factory and take some measures, but at present, it is a foreign worker. I can only say that it's better to find a job again."

This sentence almost choked to death. He said angrily, "Foreign workers are also the working class, hasty dismissal..."

Su Cheng didn't say anything, just looked at him.

When Zhang Chao came back from studying abroad, he said naturally, "I can't do my work anymore. Will I wait for the factory to close down before pushing the workers to the market?"

Rong Shangguo really wants to say that he should not go bankrupt, but the situation of Jiangnan Shipyard is not good, and he can't say it.

Suddenly, Rong Shangguo misses the old days very much.

Once upon a time, state-owned enterprises never considered bankruptcy. If it is difficult to operate, some countries will pay the bill... The most common situation is that state-owned enterprises can sell as much as they produce...

"It's unexpected to fire 5,500 people." Rong Shangguo sighed and had no choice.

"Therefore, when we do business, we must do a good job in the enterprise. The domestic economy is good. Even if some workers are fired, they can still find jobs. Otherwise, expectations can only be expected. Su Cheng also thought of something.

Rong Shangguo has nothing to say. The small factories under China Shipyard have been shut down and waiting for work. If the enterprise is not good and can't make money, how to pay wages and bonuses and benefits?

Ding Zhipeng doesn't want to continue this topic. He is more concerned about the job issues in his country. So, Ding Zhipeng took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and said, "In this way, Dahua Industry has solved the problem of insufficient orders. Do you have any ideas on the cooperation between Dahua Shipping Industry and China Shipping?

"In terms of production capacity, we haven't contacted the main factory yet. Can we reduce the requirements?" The general manager of Pingjiang Shipyard is worried that his factory will not be selected, hoping to reduce the overall requirements.

Su Cheng glanced at the opposite side and said, "If Dahua obtains 20 shares, the two sides will naturally become affiliated enterprises. At that time, we will guide the steps, including the whole process of factory construction, production, quality inspection and so on."

The Chinese ship looked at each other, or Rong Shangguo said, "We have cleared the third-class company. I think it is possible to enter the formal negotiation stage? Discuss the transfer and compensation of shares, as well as technology diffusion, etc.?

"Su Dong?" Ding Zhipeng looked over.

Su Cheng said without hesitation: "Dahua Industry requires a minimum of 20 shares, and we plan to exchange a large number of total factories and instruments and equipment. Of course, technology and training also need to be calculated.

"No cash?"

"There is no cash." Su Cheng gave an affirmative answer.

Rong Shangguo looked at him deeply. This actually reduces the conditions again.

However, can China Ship still afford to consume energy?

Sun Daofu and others are also considering the same issue.

This meeting was still done by Sun Daofu pulling his old face, bypassing several layers of relationship, and asking Ding Zhipeng to come forward to promote it. If Su Cheng is released this time, what kind of request will he make next time?

Several people looked at it and tried to make eye contact.

Ding Zhipeng smiled and wanted to adjourn the meeting.

Before he spoke, Su Cheng said, "The proposal to acquire stocks is only valid at this meeting. After the meeting, the method of stock acquisition will no longer be guaranteed."

The energy of the ship is still very strong, and he doesn't want to fall into the disturbing political struggle.

Ding Zhipeng laughed and simply sat down and waited for the play.

A transaction of hundreds of millions of yuan, such a hasty decision is a challenge for both sides. Of course, the requirements for state-owned enterprises are even higher.

Soon, Sun Daofu said, "We must confirm with the superior department."

"We have negotiated the price. If the superior department doesn't agree, that's the only way."

"That's all you can do. Do you mean to stop the union?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "If the higher authorities do not agree, Dahua can only choose private enterprises to cooperate."

Compared with before, Su Cheng's attitude is more resolute.

This is also caused by strength.

Sun Daofu and others had no choice but to get together and discuss in a low voice.

They have done it before, but now they don't dare to do it.
