Chapter 165: The Egyptians Demanding a Compression of the Construction Period
"I didn't expect that I could supervise the construction of such a big warship in my life, hehe, it's worth it!"
In the busy 2,000-ton floating dock, the refit work of the 532 ship was being carried out intensely, and military representative Guo Huaisheng was holding the supervision form that had just been tested, and while holding a pen and preparing to sign, he sighed at Jiao Dalin beside him.
Jiao Dalin smiled and teased: "It's worth it at this time, and I don't know who was still sad when he first came." ”
"I said Lao Jiao, are you a dog? Otherwise, you won't be able to spit out ivory with your broken mouth?" After Guo Huaisheng signed his name, he snapped the folder shut, but his mouth was unforgiving: "Which eye of yours saw my sad face?
"Okay, okay, your skin is almost as good as Xiao Meng, I think you are hopeless. ”
"Okay, okay, okay, you're Jiao Dalin's thinnest skin, okay? Let's stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business, those people from the Excellence Factory, do you really want to stay?"
Guo Huaisheng hurriedly waved his hand to say that he was not an opponent, and immediately changed the topic and got down to business.
At this moment, the two of them had walked side by side towards a quiet corner, and Jiao Dalin asked as he walked, "What do you think?"
"Naturally, I hope your factory will expand!"
Guo Huaisheng is not pretentious, in fact, it is true, others may not know the current heritage of Endeavor Factory, but Guo Huaisheng, as a representative of the army, knows very well.
What are the supporting units around Endeavor today?
After contracting the refit of the 532 ship, there is another ship-to-air missile research institute, not to mention adding them up, even if you talk about one alone, they can be regarded as one of the most numerous scientific research institutes in China.
With their support, it is difficult to think of Endeavor Factory.
Therefore, what Endeavor is worried about now is not a technical problem, but a problem of how to increase production capacity.
Guo Huaisheng is still happy to see this, after all, the increase in the production capacity of the Endeavor Factory means that he can build more warships, and he will have political achievements as a military representative to make, from this point of view, Guo Huaisheng is a firm supporter of the expansion faction of the Endeavor Factory.
But because of this, after he expressed his attitude, he frowned worriedly: "But are the workers of those excellent factories willing to do it themselves? I have heard a lot of complaints these days, saying that you Endeavor Factory does not treat the people seconded by their excellent factories as your own people, otherwise why would you assign them to the civil ship department and not let them participate in the construction of military ships!"
What Guo Huaisheng said, Jiao Dalin also heard a little, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Before the 532 ship entered the factory, although Jiao Dalin integrated the seconded employees of the excellent factory, the integration was incomplete in a hurry, so when the civil ship department and the military ship department were established later, Jiao Dalin simply and rudely put the seconded employees of the excellent factory in the civil ship department, mainly focusing on bulk carriers.
The original team of the Endeavor Factory, which was withdrawn, was all devoted to the military ship department to undertake the refit of the 532 ship.
Although the wages and benefits on both sides are the same, the nature of military ships and civilian ships is different, so many employees seconded from the excellent factory complained, feeling that they were underestimated by the Endeavor Factory, which also affected the construction process of bulk carriers.
For this reason, Jiao Dalin also thought about how to twist these two groups of workers with different backgrounds into a rope, but several attempts were not successful, so when Guo Huaisheng said this problem, Jiao Dalin also frowned, and finally could only sigh helplessly: "Alas~~ There is still a lack of a suitable time!"
This is Jiao Dalin's true thoughts, he always thinks that just a layer of window paper can make the seconded excellent factory employees have a sense of belonging to the Endeavor factory, but where is the window paper, and how to pierce it, he can't find the direction.
"If you don't let Xiaomeng move anymore, that kid has a lot of ideas, maybe he can find a good opportunity?" Guo Huaisheng helped Jiao Dalin come up with an idea.
Jiao Dalin pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, it was an accident that Meng Jianye got the order for the refit of the 532 ship, so it was a coincidence that the Endeavor Factory started construction at the same time and chatted about the 2,000-ton ship.
So this kind of opportunity is really hard to come by, and it is definitely not something that can be created by that person with many ideas.
So Jiao Dalin sighed here, feeling that this headache should be put later, so he was about to change the topic, so at this time, several people hurriedly walked over, led by the foreigner with black eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge, who was the Egyptian side stationed in the Endeavor factory, Lieutenant Commander Mohammed Serka.
At this moment, he was dancing and muttering a lot of things, looking very anxious, but Jiao Dalin and Guo Huaisheng looked confused when they heard it.
Fortunately, Serka followed the translator by his side, and the two of them understood, it turned out that Serka received domestic news and asked him to inform Endeavor Factory to do its best to advance the modification project of the 532 ship.
Jiao Dalin and Guo Huaisheng were very puzzled by this, knowing that the Egyptian side had compressed the construction period to one year and two months in the contract.
Compared with the construction period of one year and seven months for the 2,500-ton bulk carrier contracted by Endeavor Factory, it is five months less.
Some people may say that the bulk carrier is newly built, while the 532 ship is refitted, and it is normal for the construction period to be longer.
If it is a civilian ship, it is understandable, but the problem is that the 532 ship is a military ship, and the standard of implementation is much higher than that of ordinary civilian ships, so the complexity of the process will increase accordingly, so the time for modification will be uncontrollably longer.
Because of this, the amount of work that often seems to be a simple warship modification is not much less than the construction of a civilian ship, so the construction period of the 532 ship of one year and two months is already the limit that Endeavor Factory can reach, but I didn't expect the Egyptian side to compress the construction period, which makes the two very embarrassed.
In particular, Guo Huaisheng, who served as the Chinese supervisor, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Serka, why do you want to compress the construction period?"
"This is an order given to me by the Egyptian General Staff, and I am only acting on orders!"
Naturally, Selka will not say that the Israeli anti-aircraft missiles of the Barak I type have been successfully equipped on their Saar-4.5 missile boats.
Not long ago, he shone in the exercise with the US Navy's Sixth Fleet stationed in the Mediterranean, which directly caused the Egyptian chief of general staff, who went to observe the incident, to suffer from pink eye.
Immediately after returning to China, he sent an unquestionable order to Janed, who was in charge of China, asking him to immediately contact the Chinese side and ask them to complete the refit of the 532 ship as soon as possible.
These insiders, to be honest, even Serka himself felt blushing, isn't it just a face-to-face thing, if you don't have enough to eat, you have to be in a hurry like this?
But the orders of the superiors could not be violated, and Selka could only carry it out.
