Chapter 414 New Year's Day
Sun Daofu, the general manager of Zhongchuan, listened to Su Cheng's words and asked, "Do you think the production speed of modern heavy industry is faster than ours. How fast can it be?"
Sun Daofu's administrative level is provincial and ministerial, exactly the same as the boss of PetroChina and the Ministry of Railways. If he were younger, it would be possible to turn to a province to be a governor.
Su Cheng recalled the information he had read while reading and muttered, "If it was one ship or two ships, there would probably be no obvious difference. However, if it is ten or twenty ships, the average construction time of each ship is compressed within 90 days, so there is no problem at all.
Around 2003, when China began to develop the shipbuilding industry, the average construction speed of South Korea's ships had approached 60 days, that is, within 2 months. The application of the giant general section shipbuilding law and the peaceful land shipbuilding method makes their fastest speed close to one month, which can be said to be unimaginable in China in the early 1990s.
In fact, 90 days is also a problem that the leaders of China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry have not considered.
"Is it so fast?" Mai Wengui, the chief engineer of the ship with a long face and nose, repeated it.
In terms of academic status, Mai Wengui is two heads higher than Li Cang. He was originally a cutting-edge ship talent trained in China. He also traveled to Japan in the early stage of reform and opening up. After studying for 5 years, he quickly achieved the position of chief engineer of China Shipbuilding after returning. Mai Wengui's history of struggle is almost the smoothest history of struggle in Chinese academia, which also benefits from his full fighting spirit.
If domestic industrial enterprises want to achieve something, they must have the fighting spirit, otherwise they will be defeated in countless problems. Now, Mai Wengui obviously doesn't like the statement that Su Cheng was defeated before the war. Although his tone is not a doubt, it also contains strong suspicion.
This is also why he is not familiar with South Korea. Before the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, the Chinese people's impression of South Korea was almost in the stage of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. What is there in South Korea and what stage the technological and economic development is in are only matters of concern to high-level and diplomatic officials.
Mai Wengui also didn't know the situation, so he used interrogative sentences.
Su Cheng took a sip of wine and said in a narrative tone, "Everyone knows that the segmented manufacturing process can divide a ship into dozens or even hundreds of parts of different sizes. In this way, when producing the same or similar ship types, as long as the shipyard sets up a large number of workshops, it can produce the same segments in large quantities. Therefore, the more ships are produced, the faster the natural production speed. In this regard, Koreans have been five years ahead of us, and may have accumulated a large number of segments that can be used directly.
Some commonly used segments can be made in advance, just like factories producing ordinary industrial products. The segmented manufacturing process is to factory shipbuilding.
At present, only the giant general section manufacturing process used by Dahua Shipping Industry is to globalize shipbuilding.
When Su Cheng said this, Mai Wengui fell into thinking. After a while, he asked, "Will it take a long time to connect the segment?" Hundreds of segments need to be welded tightly. It's not easy, isn't it?
He seems to have an understanding of the segmented shipbuilding method, but he is not very clear about the specific production process.
Su Cheng nodded and said, "Computer assistance is essential. If laser ranging technology can be applied, the accuracy can be greatly improved. Some remote sensing institutes in China have relevant technical reserves. South Korea probably bought it directly, so it's only faster than before.
"What about Dahua?" Sun Daofu asked.
Su Cheng looked at him unexpectedly and said slowly, "Dahua has always paid great attention to computer technology, especially engineering software, so we already have a complete set of computer-aided software and hardware equipment."
In this regard, Dahua is far ahead of domestic enterprises. This is related to the personal experience of Su Cheng.
As early as two years ago, when domestic enterprises were still discussing the use of computers, Dahua Industry had established an electronic procurement platform for the procurement and manufacturing of high-end products such as offshore drilling platforms. The long-term demand of supply chain and other projects has also led to the rapid growth of the IT department within Dahua, not only responsible for maintaining the network within the enterprise, but also developing new industrial software and technologies.
Because Su Cheng showed it to Mr. Zhou very early, he has won the support of some departments and has an advantage in fighting for resources. By New Year's Day in 1993, after four recruitments, Dahua Industry had hired a large number of high-tech talents. This also benefits from the two-way selection system for talents.
Sun Daofu was a little surprised. He nodded slowly and smiled in an instant: "So, we chose the right cooperation with Dahua Shipping Industry."
"Cooperation is always beneficial. If China Shipbuilding Industry is interested in the segmented shipbuilding method, we can fully cooperate in the research. Su Cheng did not mention the flatland shipbuilding method, but used the segmented shipbuilding method to block their other requirements.
As a mature technology, the diffusion speed of the segmented shipbuilding method is very fast. In the 1970s, it was still the core technology of some shipyards. In the 1980s, when South Korea began to develop the shipbuilding industry, the sectional shipbuilding method was already a relatively common high technology. As South Korea gained more and more technology, shipyards in Japan and Europe and the United States had a weaker secrecy of this technology. . In China in 1992, this technology may only be discussed in professional journals, and some experiments and verifications will be carried out by the way, but in another two years, up to three years, it is estimated that China Ship will be able to simply obtain a full set of technology.
Dahua Shipping Industry can get the technology of segmented shipbuilding method a few years in advance, just to pay for it. Any company in any country can get this level of technology as long as it holds money. Because China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry is a national enterprise, it is troublesome in the introduction of technology.
Pure purchase technology is relatively difficult to obtain approval from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Development and Reform Commission or the State Council. Because of this, state-owned enterprises often adopt the plan of purchasing equipment attached technology.
For China Ship, it's good to get the segmented shipbuilding method now. Even Rong Shangguo is embarrassed to talk about the flatland shipbuilding method. Instead, he said, "It just so happens that our shipyard doesn't have much time. I'll send 200 people to study."
To learn the staged shipbuilding method, there is no need for 200 people. These technicians are giving back to Sucheng.
Rong Shangguo said it in front of everyone, and everyone also took it for granted.
The chief engineer Mai Wengui became extremely happy. He asked questions, but he didn't let the banquet cool down.
From beginning to end, Zhan Zhifang did not say anything. He thought he was warned by Sun Daofu or more.
A deputy ministerial official is aggrieved enough to do this.
Su Cheng only thought he didn't exist, and didn't glance at him until he left.
From Zhan Zhifang's eyes, you can see a strong dissatisfaction, and Su Cheng just smiled. Now Dahua's shipping industry is not full of wings. When the LNG ship is built, Su Cheng is sure that he will not dare to look at himself.
Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, industrial products should be compared with sales volume and share, and the competition is technology and profit.
After New Year's Day, 1993 was officially announced.
On January 20 of this year, U.S. President Clinton was sworn in, opening the last beautiful era of the United States. In the same year, China failed to apply for the 2000 Olympic Games and had to postpone its dream for eight years.
In China in the 1990s, the booming private economy made many people taste rich, but it did not bring direct benefits to the strength of the country. The wave of military conversion and the laid-off of state-owned enterprises came to the face with the ferocity beyond the imagination of most people. At some point, the pain of reform has become the eternal pain of a family.
With the approaching of the Lunar New Year. Pre-holiday bonuses and New Year's goods, and suppliers' debt collection have become a heavy burden for many state-owned enterprises, and China Shipping is no exception.
There are many factories under China Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. There are not only enterprises related to the shipping industry, but also unrelated enterprises with a variety of operations. In addition, schools, hospitals, research institutes and other affiliated units, Sun Daofu is worried about the salary alone. In the era of planned economy, the larger the scale of expansion, the stronger the power of enterprises. However, under the wave of market economy, these enterprises that cannot make money or fall into losses have become a responsibility to bear.
Sun Daofu was caught off guard and was suddenly buried in the sea of Wenshan. It was not until the end of January that he woke up like a dream and went to Singapore to bid.
It is said to be like waking up from a dream, but in fact it is also forced by the deficit.
When Su Cheng met Rong Shangguo at the airport, he found that he was sad.
Dahua has its own information bureau. Sucheng knows that Jiangnan Shipyard has counted last year's profits. The financial list of people who don't make money and lose money, the leader of any enterprise will be sad when they read it.
For such a large enterprise as Jiangnan Shipyard, once it loses tens of millions of yuan. If you get drunk and relieve thousands of worries, this money can be exchanged for Maotai, drown all the leaders of the Chinese ship, and help wash the clothes by the way.
The trouble of the ship cannot be solved by a small Dahua. In the next few years, the situation will become more and more difficult, and Su Cheng can only sigh secretly.
Get on the plane and see that it has taken off. Rong Shangguo has the nature to speak, but he said to Su Cheng, "Su Dong, we must not return empty-handed on this order."
Compared with the randomness of the previous days, Rong Shangguo is obviously suffocated.
Su Cheng nodded first, and then asked, "What is the goal of Jiangnan Shipyard?"
"At least 4 large ships of more than 20,000 tons are required. If you can bid for a ship of less than 20,000 tons, you can exchange it with other companies, or do it yourself. It's up to you. When Rong Shangguo said so, he naturally asked for the consent of Su Cheng.
Su Cheng is not short of orders, and the scale of Dahua Shipping Industry is far from that of the medium ship. He smiled and said, "As you said, just give them the boat."
"Thank you, Mr. Su." Rong Shangguo is really grateful. Although you don't look at the orders held by the ship, it is enough to be done in more than a year, but there are not many profitable ships there. The chaotic business environment in China makes it difficult for state-owned enterprises to earn both public and private money. The profits of many ships are close to the control line of the shipyard. Only by finding high-priced orders and cooperating with those low-priced orders can the production of the whole factory come alive. If it is all low-priced orders, in the shipbuilding industry with serious advances, it is on the verge of bankruptcy.
There was nothing to say all the way. It was already evening when the connecting flight arrived in Singapore.
The Singapore Shipping Group, which presided over the bidding, sent someone to take them to the hotel where they were staying, and Rong Shangguo immediately sent someone to investigate how many companies finally arrived.
The results summarized made his face pale.
