Chapter 298: Friendship Society

Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries still attaches great importance to the reception of the Chinese delegation, involving trillions of yen in business, and the Japanese do business to talk about the ability to serve people, which is really an eye-opener for the Chinese in this era.

I don't know where Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries, a heavy industry group, found such a beautiful OL in the water, wearing a sky blue suit and a step skirt, stepping on high heels and taking small steps, which can really dazzle a group of CSSC leaders who have never seen the world.

The exchange forum on the second day of the delegation was arranged at the headquarters of Ishikawa Island Harima Heavy Industries, and the chairman of Ishikawa Island Harima Heavy Industries, who was staying at home at that time, personally appeared, and there were two rows of senior cadres in suits and leather shoes on the left and right. Although some of these people have big bellies, some of them are vain, and some of them are old, but they all try their best to show a posture of waiting for battle in front of the chairman.

Until the arrival of the bus of the Chinese delegation, firecrackers rang out and gongs and drums were noisy for a while, and the whole country was a full set of "postures" to welcome the inspection and guidance of the higher-level leaders.

It can be seen that Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries specially found a "knowledgeable" person to plan this ceremony this time.

Chai Lao, who walked out of the car under the accompaniment of the majestic athlete's march, saw such a scene, and always felt that there was a sense of disobedience that could not be said to cry and laugh.

Fortunately, these were just innocuous small details, and soon the Chinese delegation was welcomed into the headquarters building by a group of senior cadres and beautiful OLs of Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries.

If it is only the inspection team of China Shipbuilding Corporation, Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industry naturally does not need to put on such a big battle. However, the person who led the team this time was nothing else, and the identity and importance of Chai Lao were enough to make it not only Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries. Rather, the entire Mitsui consortium has moved.

Chai Lao's influence on the domestic heavy industry industry. Iron and steel, transportation, chemical industry, shipbuilding, precision machinery manufacturing. Even the layout of China's heavy industry industry, where he used to work, is everywhere. If the trillion yen project goes smoothly this time, then it is likely that Chai Lao will eventually face the situation of being temporarily "reinstated" and postponing his retirement.

After all, even if he doesn't do anything, just "lead" in name, it is enough to deter many domestic "Xiaoxiao".

Of course, the Japanese side may not know much about the cats involved. But in any case, a high-ranking official at the provincial and ministerial level in China, a veteran figure of China's workers' mouth, came to Japan. This is enough for the Japanese side to come up with the most prudent reception specifications.

"The Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries Group is the fourth largest shipbuilding company in Japan, with an annual production capacity of more than 3.8 million tons in 1984. The main types of ships produced are bulk carriers, container ships, oil tankers, large offshore platforms and liquefied gas carriers, and the vast majority of our shipbuilding equipment is manufactured by the Mitsui Group and its affiliates. In this way, our production system and equipment standards can be the most effective systematization, with quite high technical advantages and cost advantages......"

As he walked, he listened to Chairman Kazukawa of Ishikawa Island Harima Heavy Industries personally make introductions, occasionally asking one or two questions, and most of the time he was just a qualified listener. But every time he asked a question, Mitsuhiro Kawa had to think carefully before he could answer, and it was obvious that the questions asked were quite level.

The meeting was divided into two parts, and Kawa Guangbo and Chai Lao specially found a luxuriously furnished reception room, and the large army went directly to the conference room for communication. That's normal. On the whole, the two sides will definitely have a good talk with each other, and the final meeting will definitely be a victorious and successful conference. There are some things that cannot be said in a crowded venue.

However, the decision on the talks that can really determine the depth of cooperation between the two sides is in the hands of a few people. If Kawa Guangbo and Chai Lao can negotiate in private, the face-to-face meeting, inspection and negotiation will naturally be smooth. If private communication cannot be achieved, there may be no future for cooperation.

"If we are considering introducing your shipbuilding technology in China, I am really a little worried about your after-sales service capabilities. ”

In the small reception room, as soon as Chai Lao sat down, he threw out a fatal question, which caught Chuan Guangbo off guard.

"Judging from past experience, the price of Japanese products is cheaper than that of European and American products, with high technical content and good quality. But here are some examples that show that the credibility of some Japanese companies in the past Sino-Japanese trade is really worrying. There are many problems with high spare parts and after-sales service costs, restrictions on the follow-up entry ability of non-Japanese companies through a special standard system, and discriminatory technical blockades. To be honest, this makes us very careful when it comes to choosing Japanese suppliers. ”

Chai Lao beckoned, followed by the Chinese staff on the side and handed over a document. Chai Lao took it, handed it over to Hechuan Guangbo, and then reprimanded almost unceremoniously.

"Here are some cases of problems encountered in the cooperation between Japan and Japanese companies. For example, our second fertilizer plant in Xinyi County uses two Japanese-made compressors. Last year, there was a quality problem with the compressor drive shaft, and we asked the Japanese side to replace it, and the result was that the maintenance costs, personnel travel expenses and spare parts replacement costs quoted by the Japanese side were even higher than the compressor we introduced at the beginning!"

Chai Lao was still quite excited when he talked about it, and shouted in a stern voice.

"Japanese spare parts are expensive, so we don't need them. Later, however, the spindles produced by our Chinese enterprise Hanhua Machinery Factory were able to meet the data requirements of the compressors in all aspects, but the Japanese side refused to provide other after-sales services because of the threat of not using their parts, and even affected the plant's subsequent expansion plans! I don't know if the Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries Group has the same statement, but this Japanese company that supplies compressors is also an affiliated enterprise of Mitsui, and we can only express great regret about this. ”

When he heard the words of Chai Lao, a layer of fine sweat broke out on his head, and he waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "There is no need for you to worry about this, our Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industry is a very reputable and ethical enterprise, and we will never make such a move." ”

......

In the large conference room at the headquarters of the Harima Heavy Industries Group on Ishikawa Island, Song Yunhui sat at the end of the conference table, flipping through his notebook in his hand. His eyes wandered around the conference room.

The big leaders are speaking from above. Probably the first time I arrived in your place. The bureaucrats have reined in their enthusiasm, and one person can speak for a maximum of ten minutes. But there are too many people who can't stand up to have the power to speak, and a stubble of leadership speeches is like a leek in spring, which seems to never be finished.

Fortunately, the Japanese are just as lengthy when they talk at meetings, and the two sides come together to complement each other. For a while, bald scoops and paper flew together in the conference room, and the tea was foaming at the same color, which could be regarded as a celebration of the guests and hosts. It's a lot of fun.

It's just that most of the Japanese speeches are fake and empty, emphasizing the friendship between Japan and China, hello everyone, hello everyone, hello everyone, today's weather hahaha-

Most of the members of the Chinese delegation praised Japan's development and advancement, and the good inspection and exchange meeting actually held a bit of the atmosphere of a New Year's party.

A group of Chinese people arrived at the headquarters of Harima Heavy Industries in Ishikawa Island at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the exchange meeting lasted for two and a half hours, and finally the microphone slowly traveled to the end of the conference table at half past eleven. Song Yunhui couldn't wait to pick up the microphone, his stomach was already holding a bunch of questions, and the notebook in his hand was unconsciously turned over. I was waiting for this opportunity to ask the Japanese about their shipbuilding skills.

"I have a few questions about the international shipbuilding market, and I would like to ask you from the Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries Group. ”

As soon as I got the microphone in my hand. Song Yunhui couldn't wait to open the notebook in his hand and put out the questions and dishes that had been prepared for a long time: "40% of the world's shipbuilding market is currently in the hands of Japan's shipbuilding heavy industry enterprises, and Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industry has at least more than 5% of the global share, and must have a deep knowledge of shipbuilding standards." At present, the world's mainstream ship standard is the Lloyd's Register of Shipping standard, and how to pass the classification evaluation of Lloyd's Register is a major problem faced by shipyards in China......"

Song Yunhui got the microphone and began to ask endless questions, taking the classification society classification as the starting point, and the questions covered all aspects of management, technology and trade. Although there are already cases of classification by Lloyd's Register in China, there is currently no systematic quality management system. That is to say, although it can build ships that meet the classification requirements, it does not have the ability to promote and replicate in batches for the time being, and it is more of a "high-quality product" under the high-pressure grasp of factory managers.

How to change from the Soviet-style shipbuilding system to the Western shipbuilding system is a key step for China's shipbuilding industry to enter the international market.

Song Yunhui's question can be said to really get to the point.

And this is also the last thing the Japanese want to see the Chinese side has the ability, without this system, China can only build a fixed number of ship types, and if you can't find a way to develop new technology, you can't find a direction. However, if there is such a system, the Chinese side can explore the ability to build ships with higher technology content on its own, which is nothing more than continuous investment of resources under this system.

The public relations manager of Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries quickly stood up with a smile and took over Song Yunhui's question.

"On the issue of classification society classification, I don't think the Chinese side needs to worry. Internationally, in addition to Lloyd's Register of Shipping, other countries also have their own classification societies. For example, the American Bureau of Shipping and the Japanese Bureau of Shipping are both credible large classification societies that can be compared with Lloyd's Register, and they do not have to be just focusing on Lloyd's Register of Shipping. If the Chinese side needs to classify the ship, we can provide more abundant services. For example, helping the Chinese side to design drawings, professionals to supervise the construction, and handling the application procedures for classification of classification societies. In this regard, we Japanese have more experience, and it is more economical for us to do it than for the Chinese side to do it ourselves, which is a good thing for everyone......

To put it simply, although China's current shipbuilding system is inherited from the Soviet Union, it is not necessarily impossible to build ships that meet the standards of Western classification societies. Take the drawings of the ship design, and do it according to the technical requirements of the drawing design, and you can always come up with qualified products. But behind the product, the deep reasons for each design, the design ideas, and the calculation formulas behind the quality system, without these things, it is like copying the answers from others in the exam, and changing the way the same question is expressed is blind.

But then again, the answer given by Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries was indeed the "itchy meat" of the leaders of CSSC. Technically, if these things were entrusted to the Japanese, the cost would be greatly reduced in the initial stage. The existing system does not need to be changed, and the resistance to reform and the danger of survival of the fittest caused by new technologies are naturally small.

Take the technology provided by the Japanese side and make it according to the script. Isn't it the same money?

I really want to say that it is like what Song Yunhui said. The whole system shifted from Soviet-style to Western standards. I am afraid that there will be a lot more basic investment needs, whether the senior engineers who are old can still accept the new knowledge system, and whether the current power system of the China Shipbuilding Corporation will be impacted, these things cannot be ignored.

Most of the people present are "vested interests" in the current system and certainly do not want such a change.

As soon as the public relations manager of Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries finished speaking, his microphone was snatched away before Song Yunhui could ask a new question. Baded waved his hand repeatedly. Let people hand the microphone to him, and he made a brilliant appearance with the courage to save the scene, and warmly praised the Japanese service for being considerate, which is the attitude of thinking about customers.

"Thanks to the arrangement of Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries, I deeply feel the spirit of thinking about what customers think and what customers are anxious about in your plan. This kind of customer-oriented approach is worth learning from our Chinese enterprises. It is inevitable that some of our comrades are too ambitious and even think about running before they have learned how to walk, and if it were not for the rich experience of our Japanese friends, I am afraid that they would have made the mistake of left-leaning adventurism again!"

Bad's position is not up or down. is not the leader of the CSSC headquarters, and it is also a bit of a status in the subordinate enterprise Zhonghaixi Shipyard. It is fitting to make such a statement.

Some things are inconvenient for the leaders above to say, so the people below can only figure out the thoughts of the above, and then say them on their behalf. Balid glanced at Song Yunhui, the director of this out-of-place little Haidong shipyard, who was a little ignorant. If the leader above has the intention of introducing the system, how can these problems come to him?

Since this was never mentioned above, then he did not do this too much, which pot was not opened.

At the critical moment, I still need my old bus to solve problems for the leaders! Bali thought with a sigh of thought that when his own Haixi Shipyard got the Japanese equipment and developed and expanded, he would take the Haidong Shipyard over and make a branch factory, and the provincial Haixi Shipyard should be on a par with the unknown Haidong Shipyard.

Song Yunhui's face turned red, and before he finished asking his question, the microphone was snatched away. Whether this is at home or abroad, it is almost a naked slap in the face.

In addition, Bad said that he was a "left-leaning adventurist", and this big hat was buttoned down, which was really unbearable.

"I can't agree with the words of the director of the Ba factory, the establishment of the management system of the classification society is more software than hardware, mainly the change of management methods and product specifications. Facts have long proved that advanced thinking is the foundation of continuous progress, and the management system of classification societies is a necessary condition for achieving the quality of classification societies.

"Okay, okay, don't talk so with guns and sticks when you comrades. Zhang Zhidong, who is that, and how can he be used to describe the director of the Ba factory. A leader of the headquarters finally stood up, seemingly to comfort Song Yunhui and Ballid, but in fact, the position bias was clear at a glance: "Director Song, your problem is still too radical, pay attention to the national situation." Is the classification society system good, but how can we have so many talents to invest in it? You ask all the senior engineers here, is there a basis for the implementation of the classification society system in China?"

The senior engineers present shook their heads one after another, these people are all fifty or sixty years old, how can they continue to learn new technologies, and instinctively oppose any technological change. But then again, it is really a dead knot that young technicians with the motivation for technological innovation cannot be promoted to the top of the state-owned enterprises, and that the situation of seniority is not high.

Song Yunhui was looked at by almost all the members of the delegation with the eyes of "Are you the first day to be a leader", and the silent pressure made him red-faced, but he couldn't open his mouth anymore.

If you want to do something under the system of state-owned enterprises, when did it start to become so difficult!

At this moment, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open. He Chuan Guangbo accompanied Chai Lao, with satisfied smiles on both sides, and Shi Shiran walked in.

Although Chai Lao is already very old, he looks a little bit like he is in the lead. Mitsuhiro Kagawa followed him, although he was wearing a high-end custom suit and was much younger, he was completely reduced to the background of his follower, and his momentum was completely suppressed.

Fortunately, after all, it was the Chinese who came to Japan as a guest, and Chai Laoqian gave in. Let Mitsuhiro Kagawa sit in the main seat. It won't embarrass him too much. The two chairmen appeared in the conference room together. Apparently the private communication was over, and there was silence in the conference room.

Chai Lao coughed and was about to speak, when a headquarters leader next to him, who had never been very conspicuous, suddenly came over and muttered two more words in his ear.

Chai Lao glanced in the direction of Song Yunhui calmly, and nodded lightly.

"Let's talk about it, how do you feel about this expedition?"

As soon as Chai Lao's voice fell, Balide, who was already holding the microphone in his hand, seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and he frequently glanced at the "backer" sitting in front. The leaders of the two headquarters spoke first. Immediately, someone in the front leader named him.

Baded hurriedly stood up, holding the microphone in his hand, first praised the leaders in front of him in a routine manner, and then began to say with great interest: "I really don't know if I don't know this, and I am shocked when I see it! The technology of Japan's shipbuilding industry is much more advanced than ours, and it can be said that we have a long way to go to catch up with such a technological level. However, through these two days of study, I believe that China and Japan can complement each other in the international division of labor. Japan has high technology, China has low cost. It's all possible to unite ......."

Chai Lao smiled when he heard this, and nodded from time to time. Apparently very satisfied with this statement of Balid.

With Baded taking the lead, the following speeches really went in the direction of cooperation. It seems that it is a win-win situation for China to provide labor and means of production, and Japan to provide technology and services.

It's just that in the end, the microphone finally fell into Song Yunhui's hand again, and under everyone's gaze, he gritted his teeth, stood up and said indomitable.

"The cooperation between China and Japan is, of course, a good thing for mutual benefit. However, I believe that if the Japanese side has the sincerity to cooperate, it should not lose its self-cherishment. We should not only introduce production equipment, but also introduce Japanese management and design technology systems, which is the most beneficial way for cooperation between the two sides......"

"Okay, don't bring your immature idea to the meeting!" Balid stood up and said forcefully: "Song Yunhui, as far as your Haidong Shipyard is concerned, do you have the ability to implement the management and production level of the Japanese side? Do you see that the Japanese side has no production environment? Can our Chinese workers reach that level?"

"Why not, I believe that as long as the leaders take the lead, there is nothing impossible for the workers!"

"What age is this, and you are still engaged in the spiritual atomic bomb?" Balid scoffed: "Song Yunhui, do you know how many college students you have in Haidong Shipyard, and what is the average educational background of the workers?

Song Yunhui also wanted to say more, but a leader of the CSSC headquarters in front of him stood up and started to make peace again: "They are all their own comrades, don't quarrel!

"I see—"

Chai Lao let out a sigh: "This Xiao Song is not suitable to continue to participate in the investigation, so let's do it, you will return to China tomorrow." Hurry up and explain the work of Haidong Shipyard, your position has another appointment. ”

Song Yunhui was like a basin of ice water poured from his head to the bottom, and the whole person sat there, looking at Chai Lao in disbelief. If I go back like this, and lose the position of factory director, I'm afraid I really say goodbye to my career.

The corners of Chai Lao's mouth secretly curled, and then his face returned to a serious look, looked at the others and asked: "Is there a consensus in the inspection group, is Sino-Japanese cooperation conducive to the development of China's shipbuilding industry?"

"Of course it's beneficial, it's really beneficial!" Seeing Song Yunhui's appearance, Baded jumped out without even caring about the order of his speeches: "Sino-Japanese cooperation is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people!"

"Good!"

Chai Lao nodded dryly and said with a smile: "In this case, I will ask you to set an example for Sino-Japanese cooperation." China Shipbuilding Corporation has decided to jointly establish the Sino-Japanese Shipbuilding Industry Friendship Association with the Japanese shipbuilding industry.

"Oh, the establishment of the association depends on your efforts. Since there are many issues to be dealt with, members of the committee should go on a business trip to Japan for a year. ”

"Huh?" (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm not too old to be born in my life......

I don't know if it's anemia and weakened immunity, I caught a cold again in the past two days, and I went downstairs to buy medicine and my foot broke again......

There's nothing cool about me now......

Single dogs are especially desolate when they get sick......

It feels like I need to be transferred......
