Inside the dock, there was already a hot scene.

The all-metal drilling platform, which is tens of meters high, has been dismantled at the moment, and the electric guns are starting everywhere, spilling sparks from the sky.

The riveters were also not idle, either hanging in the air or under the traction of a protective rope, acting in groups. These are the workers who have assembled the Hua 105 and Hua 106, and their movements are skillful and fast, and they have not seen much of the dizziness of the Saudis who have seen industrial production.

From their point of view, these workers are like juggling dozens of meters in the air.

Wang Zhou distributed the parts to different departments or warehouses, turned around, beckoned Nasr and the others, and said, "Su Dong is still in a meeting, it will take about half an hour, you can sit down and rest for a while." ”

"Can you show us around?" said Nasr curiously.

Saudi Arabia's industry is underdeveloped, there are both human factors and environmental factors, where there is no water, how to engage in large-scale industry, the basic industry that produces these things has a greater demand for water, but in Saudi Arabia, although residential water is very cheap, industrial water is not. Nasr and they, except when they were studying abroad, rarely saw industrial production.

Wang Zhou naturally wouldn't stop it, and hurriedly said: "Our main work now is two parts, the first is to repair the platform structure, and the second is to replace parts. The repair of the parts is carried out in a separate workshop......"

"Just look at the maintenance of the platform, can we get closer to see it?" Nasr actually wanted to go up and see, and then he saw that the platform was crooked, and many steel structures had been demolished. Changed his tune again.

Wang Zhou said that there was no problem, handed them a helmet for each of them, and looked at the leather shoes of a few people, then took them inside, and introduced as he walked: "What we are doing now is to replace the material." Unlike other companies, this platform manufacturing company is reluctant to tell us specific parameters such as external loads. In the end, it was all calculated by ourselves, and now you see, it is all based on the results of field measurements. Replace the build, safe and easy to use. ”

"Did you calculate the external load?" Nasr knew about this because he had been looking for a maintenance company before. That's what people have to do. However, the manufacturing company treats it as its own trade secret and is unwilling to give it, and there is no support for finding a contract, which is also one of the reasons why other companies are reluctant to take over.

Wang Zhou raised his head proudly and said with a smile: "Our team, all the engineers are very powerful. You see that the maintenance that is being done now is not simply a cat and a tiger, many structures from the early 80s, or materials. We replaced them with the latest materials and constructions. If you look at our purchase orders, you can see that we buy specialty steel from U.S. Steel, and we also use high-end products that are processed in our own country, and you will know when we inspect them. Take advantage of it. ”

In fact, replacing materials, in addition to newer and better, is also for cheaper. "Haizhuan No. 6" is also a big guy of 7,000 tons, and the amount of steel used is amazing, although it will not be completely replaced. But it is always necessary to replace hundreds of tons of metal, and if it were done according to the design of the 80s, 3 million dollars would not be able to protect the capital.

Nasr also knew this, and only advised: "I am the senior director of the maintenance department of Saudi Arabian Oil Company, and if the platform you make can pass the third-party inspection, I will send you an order." ”

"Then thank you in advance. Wang Zhou had a hippie smile on his face, and he couldn't see the appearance of sweating and moving goods just now.

Nasr circled around the slipway and went to the makeshift workshop inside. It was also a scene of enthusiastic production, with neither a coffee machine nor a pantry on the side, only a large bucket of pure water on a high table, which was poured by the workers themselves.

Wang Zhou ran to find Sioux City, Nasr and the others stared at each other for a long time, and they didn't see any Chinese workers, stopped what they were doing, and came over to pour a glass of water.

All the workers were there welding, welding, driving, and operating the tools in their hands, without the slightest intention of resting.

I don't know when, Wang Zhou came back and said, "I didn't find Su Dong". Nasr's subordinates grabbed him first and asked, "You don't have a rest room next to the workshop, and you don't have chairs and tables for resting, what should you do if you want to rest?"

"When you rest, go home and rest. Wang Zhou looked strange.

"With such a high-pressure policy, won't everyone go on strike?"

"Is this still high-pressure? There is no easier job than this, do you know what it is like when we catch up with the schedule?" Wang Zhou looked at a few Saudis with the eyes of a fool, and said with pity: "You don't do industry, don't understand, industrial production is a whole, you are resting here, and the workers on the assembly line are resting or not? If he doesn't want to rest, you will become a bottleneck here, and it will affect the overall efficiency, for one person to rest, affect everyone to rest, isn't this nonsense?"

"Other people always have a time to rest, you can stock a little bit of goods in each process, don't be so nervous, save a little bit in each position, so that the rest of the people will not affect the people behind. "The Saudis are talking about their way.

"This is tantamount to artificially increasing inventory, and when an assembly line comes up, isn't the inventory going to increase by twenty or thirty percent?" Wang Zhou smiled and said: "Toyota has been engaged in zero inventory for a long time, you should know this." In the industry, the less the inventory, the better, we Dahua Industry is also learning various ways to reduce inventory, how to increase inventory in turn......"

Secretly, Wang Zhou thought to himself: No wonder your industrial products are all from Europe, America and Japan, and they are fundamentally developed against the world's factories. Now, not to mention Japan, American workers and Australian workers can't just rest if they want like you.

In China in the 80s, students who could speak English were all elites. Speaking of reasoning, it is also a set of sets.

Nasr nodded in response, but objected as he spoke: "You are putting too much pressure on the workers. It's better to be free. But you Chinese workers can do such high-intensity work?"

"Of course, our company also has a corresponding labor security system. It won't damage everyone's body. Sometimes the work is intense, and it does work harder. ”

"Oh, then when your rig is repaired, you can send some workers to Saudi Arabia." Our salary will surely satisfy you. "Nasr started to pull people naked. The largest number of workers working in Saudi Arabia are Indians and Filipinos, who know more English. The living environment is even better than the latter.

However, whether it is an Indian or a Filipino, their industriousness is also relative to that of the Saudis. There is no comparison at all with Chinese workers. Saudi Arabia is accustomed to using foreign workers, and Nasr said this when he saw that the Chinese also spoke in English.

Wang Zhou smiled and said, "I don't have the right to decide." and commanded men to look everywhere for Sioux City.

The people who were sent out shouted and shouted, and at this time, someone in the center of the workshop raised his head, lifted his mask, and shouted: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Wang Zhou froze, pointed to the front and said, "Oh, Su Dong is there." ”

When a few people arrived, they found that not only Su Cheng was burning electric welding, but several engineers were burning electric welding, and they were recording while burning. There is also a senior worker in front of him, who burns in a different way.

When Wang Zhou saw Nasr's gold-trimmed cloak, he stood up with a smile, twisted his neck, and said with a smile: "We are doing experiments." Sea Diamond No. 6 is very rusty, some key parts need to be replaced, and the non-critical parts are ready to be re-welded, polished and re-painted. Rest assured, it will be the same as new. ”

"Seeing your work scene, I believe it. Nasr said sincerely, then crouched down to the side and asked, "Can I try it?"

"Electric welding?"

"Yes, I have also been in the factory for many years, and I have never tried it, looking at Su Dong's skillful operation, I think that anyone who is an executive must have such an experience. Nasr snorted and complimented Sioux City lightly.

"Then we'll burn one. Su Cheng pulled out two welding rods, taught him the use of the mask and the welding gun, and demonstrated while lighting the welding gun: "Welding this thing, in fact, there are not too many skills, if you burn more, it will be." In our parlance, a good welder is made of electrodes, just like a sharpshooter is fed with bullets. ”

Nasr nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "I have seen the level of Chinese workers, most of the workers in our country are in the maintenance field, and Dahua does not know if he is interested in doing the business of exporting laborers? ”

"We Dahua's own workers can't use it. Su Cheng politely refused, and then burned a straight weld with a welding torch, and said with a smile: "Workers, do more work, his level will go up, in our country, factories with sufficient orders and high technology content are easy to produce senior workers, if it is only pure repair, after a few years, the level of workers will also decline." ”

"If the electrode burns less, it won't work?" Nasr staggered out a third of the length of the weld, and the torch went out.

That's what it means. Su Cheng smiled softly and instructed Nasr to burn a solder wire.

He will not send the workers of Dahua Industrial to Saudi Arabia, which is like a bottomless pit, and how many industrial workers with unique skills are at best mechanics when they arrive here. It is suitable for collecting money for retirement, but it is not a place to do business.

Before leaving, Nasr said the price of recruiting a foreign worker and guaranteed a 30 percent agency fee. Sioux City still refused, and if he could recruit workers, he would use it for himself.

However, it was Sioux City's refusal that made Nasr nod secretly in regret, and couldn't help but have a new evaluation of Dahua Industrial.

The two sides were talking happily, but were interrupted by Huo Chang's running.

The deputy factory director, who was in his 50s, ran like a galloping ox, panting and handed Sioux City a telegram.

The Saudis also got serious, for fear that there was a problem with the maintenance of the platform.

Su Cheng waved his hand at them, stared at the line on the telegram, "Jinshi General Factory borrowed 100 million from the bank", and asked, "When is it?"

Huo Chang helped the person and gasped: "This morning, the damn Du Lijun acted secretly and lent out the money without a sound, I don't know how much it took to ......"

"Reasonable, unexpected. Su Cheng quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Help me book today's tickets." ”

Nasr, who was traveling with him, had already invited a Chinese interpreter, and when he listened to the synchronous commentary, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Sioux Cheng, air tickets from Jeddah to China are not immediately available, but our Saudi National Oil Company has its own airline, if you need it, I can help you arrange it." ”

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Then thank you very much." ”

"You're welcome. Nasr rolled his eyes, but smiled, "Can I go to China with you?"
