Chapter 437 Ito Ship Industry
A black Honda, with pride, bypassed the column and stopped directly in front of Ito's building.
The seven senior executives of Ito Corporation, who had been guarding in front of the glass door for a long time, hurried forward.
A 50-year-old minister opened the car door first.
Ito Takanobu nodded slightly and walked out of the car door.
Everyone bowed together and shouted, "Vice-in-Chief."
"Hon, everyone." Takanobu Ito said casually, and his smile flashed and turned into a serious look.
The senior management of Ito Commercial Co., Ltd., followed by dog legs, full of enthusiasm.
The minister couldn't wait to lick Ito Takanobu's heel and said with a humble smile, "Did the vice president sleep well at night? I brought tea from my hometown, as well as tea sets, which are very refreshing. Before the board of directors, have a drink to refresh yourself.
Takanobu Ito's party last night came to his mind. He couldn't help smiling and said, "Then have a cup of thick tea."
"No problem." I have a feeling of brilliance.
Several people next to him who wanted to lick Ito Takanobu's thumb were very sorry and thought to himself: Tamura is really a flattering guy.
Takanobu Ito was unobstructed all the way. When he arrived at the elevator, the office workers in the elevator had to run out and bow.
And Takanobu Ito, just nod seriously.
Several commercial executives sent Takanobu Ito to the office before returning to their respective sites.
The minister seized the opportunity and brought the tea in to make tea.
Takanobu Ito read the newspaper with his feet up.
Although Takanobu Ito failed to compete for the Thurstan oil field in the United Arab Emirates, in the following years, he also obtained an Iranian oil field for Ito Trading Company and stabilized his position.
As a member of the Ito family, Takanobu Ito is a smooth sailing business in Ito. The Japanese chaebol family began to use the professional manager system very early, but it still spares no effort to cultivate the children of the family. Moreover, unlike the Chinese family, the Japanese often regard their son-in-law and other relatives as standard family children. This expansion can effectively absorb social elites while continuing the family's bloodline. Takanobu Ito can be the vice president, which has a lot to do with his surname. However, although the vice president is a comfortable and good position, he is not without pressure.
Takanobu Ito quickly left the newspaper and prepared to start the day's work.
The minister put up a plate of tea with a shy face and naturally removed the newspaper on the table.
Takanobu Ito's eyes fell on the corner of the newspaper that moved away.
The two Chinese characters of "Dahua", like neon lights, evoked his memories.
"Wait a minute." Takanobu Ito picked up the newspaper again and looked at the corner that he usually didn't care about.
"They did a great thing!" Takanobu Ito muttered to himself the headline of the newspaper, and then began to read the following content quickly.
Asahi Shimbun is one of the top three newspapers in Japan. It sells very well. Kikuchi republished articles, but got a tofu block in the corner. Although the layout is good, the number of words is not much.
However, Takashi Ito read it for 5 minutes and still didn't finish it.
He read it over and over again, as if rejecting the essence of the article.
Seeing the "home tea" he worked so hard to make, he couldn't help raising his head melancholy.
Takanobu Ito's face is darker than the color of tea.
The minister quickly lowered his head, picked up the tea tray, and decided to make tea again.
"Tamura." Takanobu Ito suddenly opened his mouth.
The minister was shocked and quickly put down the tea tray and agreed.
"Go and ask the head of the shipping company to come." Takanobu Ito left the newspaper. Like several other Japanese consortia, Ito's subsidiaries have a lot of companies and institutions, from grain to minerals, from transportation to steel, from machinery manufacturing to biopharmaceuticals. The shipbuilding industry was the profit core of the Japanese consortium in the 1970s. Over the years, it has not been good enough, but it is still dead. The technical development of the segmented shipbuilding method mainly came from Japanese shipyards. It was not until the invention of the giant general section shipbuilding method that many of their patent financial resources ended.
The superficial treatment of the president of the shipping company under Ito Corporation is similar to that of Takanobu Ito, the vice president, but if the vice president is sent to the subordinate company as the president, it is a kind of derogatory.
Unlike state-owned enterprises, Japanese consortia believes in the value of the "central government". Low-level employees can work in the branch office, but if they want to reach the high position of the president, they must not be transferred to their subordinate branches, otherwise the chances of winning the Grand Slam are very slim.
Further, Takanobu Ito can guide the work of subordinate branches, and it is very difficult for subordinate shipping companies to resist such guidance.
Within the scope of authority, Takanobu Ito is already one of the best roles of Ito's business.
Therefore, when bidding for the Sertan oil field with Sucheng, Takanobu Ito's self-confidence was extremely strong. This also made him continue to pay more attention to Su City after his failure.
"A great thing!" Some stung Takanobu Ito's eyes.
But there is no Japanese newspaper, or no newspaper, that evaluates itself in such a tone.
What made him most dissatisfied was that what Su Cheng did was indeed remarkable.
Breaking the world record for shipbuilding speed, as long as you are in the industrial field, you will know how difficult it is.
No shipyard is willing to slow down. Even enterprises like Europe and the United States have to work overtime in the face of ship orders.
The steel mill community, which gets up at dawn and drinks when it gets dark, is very common in Europe and the United States in the era of the prosperous shipbuilding industry, and it is not uncommon in Japan.
That's it, and it broke the world record.
Takanobu Ito couldn't imagine how to do it.
The more so, the more he cares about it.
Minister Tamura had to leave the teacup and teapot, rushed out of the office, went outside to call and make an appointment for the meeting.
Takanobu Ito took out a piece of paper with a cold face and thought about it and wrote: Reorganize the main business of commercial ships and further develop new profit growth points,... The development of NG ships and tankers will bring the overall profit increase of the consortium...
He also started as an energy source such as oil and natural gas, so his thinking is very similar to Sucheng.
Making LNG ships is the future of the shipbuilding industry, and it is indeed the only life of established shipping companies such as Japan and France.
Takanobu Ito did not care about this matter before, because the company has other special affairs and executive affairs to care about. As a vice president, he should consider things that are more macro or can bring more profits.
Now, in the face of the success of Sucheng, he feels that the shipping market seems to have a future.
If it can be used to make a ship in six months, today's shipping industry's profit will increase by 20% to 30%, which is not only profitable, but also a high-profit business.
As for whether the company can build a ship in six months, Takanobu Ito did not consider it at all. He believes that Japanese companies must be able to do what Chinese people can do.
At that time, everyone will still compete for technology accumulation and talent advantages.
In my heart, after direct contact with Sucheng in the United Arab Emirates and indirect contact in Russia, Takanobu Ito still has some reluctant trust in Sucheng's judgment.
"Since he thinks the shipping industry has something to do, we should not give up." Takanobu Ito's subconscious has the idea of tracking management.
Whether there is an element of anger or not, Takanobu Ito makes a plan, and it is still rigid and eye-sighted.
Considering that the board of directors is not long, Takanobu Ito first finds out the enterprises related to the shipbuilding industry in the consortium, and then analyzes their business volume and profit margins...
If Sucheng does the shipbuilding industry and benefits from the national shipbuilding industry chain, Ito Commercial Co., Ltd. does the shipbuilding industry, and the main beneficiaries will be concentrated within the consortium. Their level in various industrial foundations is only higher than that of China's industrial system in the 1990s.
If it can drive the group to increase by one or two percentage points, I will be further away from the position of president.
Ito Takanobu thought proudly, and the speed of writing was faster.
Then, several of his assistants were called in to analyze data or do calculations.
In Japan in 1993, there are not many computers available. The data are all in the data room. When you want to use it, ask those who have been put into the cold palace to find it.
The magnificently decorated vice president's office quickly turned into dust.
Afternoon.
Minister Tamura brought the president of the shipping company and his chief engineer into the vice president's office.
Takanobu Ito received them warmly.
After the tedious welcome ceremony, Takanobu Ito took out the Asahi Shimbun and asked expectantly, "I saw the information that the average speed of us to build a ship now is 11 months, and the fastest speed is day. Now, the Chinese seem to have adopted some kind of technology and increased the speed to about six months. Can we achieve it?
"Maeda." The head of the palace headquarters is almost 70 years old, and he has been waiting to die for a long time.
Maeda, the chief engineer called by his name, is about 40 years old. He belongs to an ambitious technical school. He picked up the newspaper curiously and read it for a while. He laughed hoarsely and said, "It's impossible."
"Why?"
"20 days of shipbuilding, there must be a problem in it. I guess either they made part of the segment of the ship in advance and then assembled it, so they only calculated the welding time. Or, the reporter who reported did not investigate clearly. Maeda pulled his finger and said, "The process of building a ship is very complicated. I'll start with the steel plate.
The shipyard gets the steel plate. Through the reclaimer, it needs to go through the process of shot blasting, washing, drying, primer spraying and then drying in turn before it can be transported to the gas cutting table by electromagnetic hoisting. After cutting and forming, it also needs to go through the plane segmented production line The hull packaging platform finally uses a 200-ton trailer to transport it to the final assembly line in stages. This process has been simplified several times, and it is impossible to save another month and a half..."
If the company reported by Asahi Shimbun is not Dahua Industry, Takanobu Ito may trust what he said the day before yesterday and put it on hold.
Now, he said strongly, "Since you can't save a month and a half, then investigate why Chinese companies can."
"It's just an exaggerated report."
"Then give me exaggerated evidence." Takanobu Ito stared at him, and he was still a little majestic.
In front of the vice president, the chief engineer can only give in.
Although Maeda fantasizes that he will cross the position of vice president one day, he still has to obey the orders of the vice president before that day comes.
Back to Ito Shipping Company, Maeda wanted to send someone to China to investigate. After thinking about it, he entrusted the matter to a professional investigation company outside the group.
In his opinion, investigating a Chinese company will make himself ridiculous.
However, such a move turned Ito's secret investigation into a semi-public investigation.
Professional investigation companies will not only provide it to Maeda after getting the information that can sell money.
In a short time, all Japanese shipping companies received a summary about Dahua Shipping. Some companies immediately decided to buy it.
