Chapter 660 Shipbuilding Expansion

Making money is a technology, and spending money is an art.

It is the government agencies that spend the most money in the world and should learn this art at the same time. They often spend 10,000 yuan to do 1,000 yuan. If anyone disagrees, they will spend another 10,000 yuan to investigate.

The financial institutions are the best at spending money. In order to make money for themselves, unconscionable bankers can always come up with a way to use 1,000 yuan to do 10,000 yuan. Sometimes, they don't even want to spend this 1,000 yuan.

For most people, it is very difficult to do 10,000 yuan with 1,000 yuan, but it is sometimes easier to do what can only be done with 100 million yuan with 10 million yuan.

Sucheng had many options to spend money. In the end, he decided to use it for investment companies and Dahua Laboratory.

The measures to expand production highly promoted by Huo Chang and others were rejected by Sucheng without hesitation.

It is true that expanding production can indeed make a lot of profits for the company. From the perspective of future generations, pure large-scale industrial production can still make money until 2008. Moreover, as long as it survives the winter of the financial crisis, the surviving factories will not be more sad than in previous years.

With the yield of Dahua Industrial's factories, investment in production can make at least 20% of the profit every year, and its capacity is very large, and it will not encounter a bottleneck if it invests 10 billion yuan or 50 billion yuan.

However, considering the human factor, Sucheng still rejected the profits and influence brought by the expansion.

The labor cost in 1994 was very cheap, but after 20 years, when the demographic dividend gradually disappeared and the labor cost of workers rose, what should Dahua Industry do to expand to hundreds of thousands of people?

Young workers around the age of 20 in 1994 were 40 years old in 2014. If there is a reduction in production, large-scale layoffs will bring not only the uneasiness of enterprises, but also the breakdown of countless families.

Su Cheng did not have the confidence to lead hundreds of thousands of people to break through the layers of sniping. Because as a human being, he won't be like a machine. With a stable logical demand curve, both workers and company employees will always require better treatment and welfare. In the economic upturn, it is not difficult to do this, but in the economic downturn. It is difficult to maintain the needs of many people.

American General Motors is a good example. They used to be the largest company in the world, with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, which is higher than the gross national product of some small countries. However, although General Group, which has been experienced for a hundred years, is still the most competitive player in the international market, it has a large number of retired workers, especially high-paid retired workers. It's better to make the whole group's income.

Chinese state-owned enterprises in the 1990s had the same problem. When workers who entered the factory in the 1950s and 1960s began to retire in large numbers, no matter how good the monopoly enterprises could not support this pure consumption.

Similar problems also happened in Japan. When they rejoiced because their company always served all the members, the lost decade and the lost twenty years slowly unveiled. In the end, large enterprises that have not failed will no longer dare to continue the previous annual work system, and instead begin to hire labor dispatch workers, which is equivalent to giving up the protection of workers.

This unpredictable and expanding artificial risk is unbearable even by a country, and Su City is naturally very cautious. He knows that his management level is average, so he always does his best to give full play to his risk-averse ability.

Hire fewer employees, hire better employees, and constantly train your own employees, which is also a means for the company to avoid risks.

Even when the economic environment is bad. Fewer and excellent employees will not become a huge burden. If they are not enough, they can also learn from enterprises such as China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry to do outsourcing. In contrast, there are many state-owned enterprises with weak technical level, such as mining groups and light industry groups, when they are having a hard time. It's not easy to get up.

Because of this, it is only Dahua Shipping Industry that has always maintained its expansion.

Although the shipbuilding industry will suffer a great depression after 2007, until 2014, lng ships are still the crown pearl of the civil shipbuilding industry, and the orders are full. Judging from the situation in China, there is no problem to say that it is the pearl in the crown of China's shipbuilding industry.

Its gold content is no less than that of an aircraft carrier.

If necessary, the shipyard that can build lng ships can basically be transformed into a shipyard to build aircraft carriers, such as selling technology to South Korea's modern French Atlantic shipyard, which is not only the patent holder of the film-type lng ship, but also the production shipyard of the "de Gaulle" aircraft carrier.

Of course, from an economic point of view, the construction cycle of aircraft carriers is long, the construction cost is high, there are many restrictions, and the total number of orders is small, which is not a very cost-effective production ship. If the French Atlantic Shipyard wants to point to the aircraft carrier order to eat, the French ** side's equipment update speed can't last for even five years. It is almost a common means of modern countries to accumulate technology with civil shipyards and build them when needed.

Otherwise, in the face of a long peace period, companies specializing in arms will go bankrupt. In this year, there are few tanks used in regional conflicts. Products such as aircraft carriers or destroyers are really better than selling tea eggs.

lng The boat is much happier.

The 1990s can be said to be the development period of the liquefied natural gas industry. Everyone is desperately building related industries and accumulating relevant technologies. However, the world's energy demand is too huge. Not to mention more than ten years of effort, in another 20 years, the demand for liquefied natural gas has not been fully released.

Under the guidance of the so-called green economy, liquefied natural gas will at least replace fuel in the field of industrial energy.

This means that more than half of the tankers today will become liquefied natural gas ships.

The lng orders of Dahua Shipping Industry are also accumulating more and more.

Especially after Sucheng returned to China with a full load, shipowners all over the country knew that Dahua Shipping Industry had at least money to pay liquidated damages, so they placed orders to the shipping group lng ship.

In general, Yan Xuecan of Dahua Shipping Industry was also full of energy and immediately submitted a report to Su City, asking for the purchase of a large number of machines.

Such a huge thing as a lng boat is difficult to make. Just think of it as a horizontal transformer, especially the welding with the largest workload, with a total length of more than 130 kilometers. Even with the migrant worker operation method of a small township factory, the welding length of 130 kilometers can also exhaust people in a factory. On the strict lng ship, welding robots are usually used to weld good welding places, and the remaining places where welding robots are not easy to play are only done by hundreds of g-certified welders. That's it. It will take a year or two to complete, and the working hours are long. There are so many requirements that you can write an instruction manual for a cabinet.

As for the more than 50,000 wooden insulated boxes with different specifications that are fine to silk, it can make ordinary factories despair.

Without extremely high product control ability, a wooden box alone costs an ordinary shipyard for several years.

It's not like a big and rough thing like a bulk cargo ship. The lng ship is loaded with liquefied natural gas. Always maintaining a low temperature of 160 degrees below zero, and causing a leak inadvertently is a terrible thing.

In order to improve the construction efficiency of lng ships, a large number of professional machines are invented and manufactured every year. They are not necessary to be used, but if you use them, the speed can be improved, and the quality of the ship can be guaranteed. Correspondingly. The higher the cost.

In the past, although Yan Xuecan had accumulated several lng ship orders worth 2 billion US dollars, he still dared not spend a lot of money to purchase a large number of machinery. Because the fulfillment and payment of orders are phased, but the cost of advance purchase is not.

When Su Cheng brought back a large amount of money from London, Yan Xuecan couldn't help squatting at the group headquarters almost every day.

His qualifications are relatively shallow, and he can't directly find Sucheng's gag like Ji Chai's executives.

Yan Xuecan took a circle and found Rong Shangguo, the general manager of China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry.

Today's China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry is a quarter of the shares held by Dahua Industry. Therefore, it belongs to one of the affiliated companies of Dahua Industry. Rong Shangguo, the general manager, also often comes to Dahua Industrial Headquarters.

Because of his status as a state-owned enterprise, Su Cheng has always been polite to Rong Shangguo.

With Rong Shangguo's appearance, Yan Xuecan's report can be sent to Su Cheng in a better posture. Within a few days, someone from the procurement committee contacted Yan Xuecan.

At this time. Su Cheng was still busy flying in the capital, but he left this kind of thing to do.

It was not until a month later that Su Cheng had time to visit the factories one by one.

And the goal of his first stop is Dahua Shipping.

As a joint venture, and then privatized, and then acquired the shipping company of foreign enterprises, Dahua Shipping also retains the culture of some Western enterprises, which is quite special in several branches of Dahua Industrial.

This is also related to the training of many employees of Dahua Shipping Industry in Western enterprises, especially ordinary workers, who have to go abroad for training for half a year to one year because of strict operating requirements. Therefore, standing in the factory, you can immediately feel a completely different atmosphere from that of Chinese state-owned enterprises.

The hurried workers, smiling and confident employees, and a large number of mechanized operations have overwhelmed suppliers who have never seen this scene.

is Rong Shangguo. In fact, there are few opportunities to come to Dahua Shipping Industry.

This time, taking advantage of the inspection work in Sucheng, Rong Shangguo simply pulled a high-level ticket of China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, which was beautifully called escort. In fact, it was also observation and comparison.

After all, China Shipbuilding Heavy Industries will not be satisfied with doing segmented factories or general factories. They also want to do the final assembly so that they can eat the biggest cake.

Especially seeing that Yan Xuecan can still pick orders, which is even more exciting for them.

Yan Xuecan waited excitedly at the gate of the shipyard, pulling Li Cang, a new shipping expert who had decided to join Dahua Industry full-time.

And behind him, the secretary held the thick ship information.

The first batch of lng ships of Dahua Industry have been handed over and carried by Dahua Maritime Transportation Company. The effect is good. The lng ships they are building now are orders obtained by Sucheng at the French Industrial Equipment Exhibition. In the middle, Dahua Shipping has also completed orders for dozens of ordinary ships, including with China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry. Singapore Shipping Group's orders participated in the bidding together.

However, Yan Xuecan did not introduce the construction of ordinary ships. The time in Sucheng is limited, and Yan Xuecan does not want to use these boring projects, which has weakened the development focus of Dahua Shipping Industry.

Because of his participation in related projects, the people of China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry pricked up their ears and waited for the introduction, which was quite puzzled.

After all, in their opinion, cargo ships of more than 10,000 tons can be used to talk about it. How can these cargo ships of tens of thousands of tons or even hundreds of thousands of tons not be introduced?
