Chapter 195: A Thousand Golden Horses Buy Bones
At the end of the inspection, the inspection team returned first. Minister Yue unexpectedly stayed in Tianjin, presumably because he was unwell and needed to rest for a while.
Sioux knew that he wanted to avoid the political storm brewing in the capital.
This is not surprising, since almost all cadres at and above the level of department and department in China came from the era of the movement, and there is no doubt about their political sensitivity. Everyone can see the political crisis in the country. The only thing that people didn't guess was the change in Western society's policy toward China.
It can be said that around 1989, Western society underwent fundamental changes in its foreign policy toward China. Previously, China had already bought Black Hawk helicopters from the United States and was in the process of purchasing F16 fighter jets. After that, the fighter contract naturally went yellow, and other unfinished contracts also encountered problems.
But before it happens, there are very few people who can judge the international situation. Naturally, Su punishment is not among them.
He also stayed in Tianjin, in the name of "inspecting the market", but in fact he stayed by Minister Yue's side, worried that Su Cheng and others would make some crooked moves.
However, in Su Cheng's view, when the overall situation has been decided, why do you need to make crooked moves. He also stayed at the Marina Shipyard, but he only focused on technology, including himself, and learned from Haliburton's engineers.
The technical requirements of offshore oil equipment are high, but the requirements to understand are not high, and Sioux City has the foundation of a school, so I follow the engineers of foreigners every day. With the arrival of the first 100,000-ton old tanker, Haliburton's number of engineers has increased from 12 to more than 80, including full-time engineers who operate the machinery. There are also general-purpose workers who turn milling pliers, and these people are paid quite well, as well as a daily travel allowance.
Therefore, in order to minimize expenditure, the Marina Shipyard organizes workers to work in three shifts, with three or five workers followed by a foreign engineer, who is also a cigarette salute and a treat. I want to serve people well and learn a little more.
Sioux City walked around the workshop, and there were voices like "thank you" everywhere. This is COSCO Shipping. They have been working on foreign projects for ten years, and everyone knows more or less English, and young workers and managers can act as interpreters. Otherwise, the language problem of more than 80 engineers alone would not be solved.
"Su Dong. Master Du, who was burning the electric welding, closed the welding torch and put down the mask.
"Old Du, how is it. Su Cheng asked with a smile.
"Teach your son the basics. The workers from the United States are only in their 20s, and they are better at welding than me, and this kid can't understand them at all. Master Du pointed to the young man next to him, the two were very close in shape, and there were also roast wounds left by welding on their faces.
"The learning conditions for foreign workers are good, and there is a systematic way of education. Also, there's such a thing as technology. The more you use it, the more you learn. Americans have plenty of orders, so there are plenty of opportunities to learn. We will have the same opportunity in the future, as long as there are no major problems, it is no problem for FPSO orders to be completed for 20 years. "Su Cheng explained not only to Lao Du, but also to others. The words in the factory are no slower than the organs.
Lao Du laughed stupidly twice, paused, and whispered, "I'm going to retire from my illness." In the future, I will go to the following township enterprises to get a part-time job......"
"It's okay to retire from illness, let's go to Dahua. If we want to cooperate with COSCO Shipping to build a factory, and specialize in the engineering technology of offshore drilling platforms in the future, you can go to the experimental workshop of Dahua Shipping to help......"
"I ...... I'm embarrassed to go. ”
"Does anyone else know?" Sioux City raised an eyebrow.
Master Du nodded heavily. He said softly: "I'd better go to the small factory in the township, I've burned electric welding all my life, and I won't do anything else." ”
Su Cheng guessed: What hit him harder should be interpersonal relationships. State-owned enterprises have been in state-owned enterprises all their lives, relatives, classmates, and friends are all in state-owned enterprises, Lao Du sold the factory for money and houses, maybe some people will sympathize with him, but the scolding may be more, especially the workers of his generation, and it may be impossible to break off relations.
Su Cheng looked around, and Lao Du was not surrounded by anyone, which was not common for a job like them.
He thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't regret what I said." We Dahua Industry is a meritocracy. As long as Master Du works hard, there is no problem. In addition, isn't your second child unemployed? If you go to Dahua to work, if you do well, we can solve the work of an immediate family member, and when the house is built, it will also be assigned according to the quality of service......"
Lao Du's grateful lips trembled, and he said, "Su Dong, you mean it seriously." ”
"Of course. ”
"I ...... I did something like that, how can I go to Dahua again......" Lao Du's face was full of shame.
"We Dahua Industrial are meritocracy. Sioux City said something like that for the second time.
Lao Du's eldest son also whispered: "Dad, you just promise Su Dong." The safety measures of the township factory are not good, and they come and go every day. ”
Su Cheng persuaded him again, and Lao Du agreed with a twist.
The factory building is four stories high, and it is all built with steel frames. Including the stairs, handrails and floors, they are all metal, and walking inside is like walking in a metal kingdom.
He Yuwei held on to the iron railing on the second floor, looked down at the scene below, and when Su Cheng walked in, he greeted him and asked in a low voice: "Why do you want to accept Lao Du? He has done too much, if you hadn't turned it around, so much of the work we did before might have been defeated by him......"
"Lao Du's situation, everyone in the factory knows it, and he is the most difficult to deal with. Su Cheng said lightly: "Let him go, you think it's too light, but if you punish him, fire him, and let him lose his pension?"
He Yuwei smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, you recruited him for a purpose?"
"Of course, it's just a matter of buying bones. Su Cheng said lightly.
He Yuwei was taken aback and said, "You want to pull the people of COSCO Shipping?"
Su Cheng glanced at it and said, "Your father promised me that after COSCO Shipping wins, he will organize a nationwide conference battle to tackle the offshore drilling platform, and the horse bones I bought." I'm waiting for them. ”
"Then you have to wait, it will take two or three months at the earliest, and then you can determine the ...... of the merger entity."
"Not necessarily. ”
Unless Changning Infrastructure withdraws, Minister Yue will definitely wait until they sign a contract with Ito Trading Company before making a final decision. Your procrastination strategy is not just about time. ”
"It won't be long. Sioux City shook his head. He shook his hand and said, "I'll go see the dock again." ”
"I'll go with you. He Yuwei lifted the ends of her hair with her hands, revealing her rounded earlobes.
Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I went to mix with the workers." Dirty and messy ...... on board"
"Every day in the factory, it's not like you have to mix with the workers, I'm used to it. He Yuwei spoke at this time. It's a little sweet.
Sioux City thought to himself: When you were in the factory, you were sitting in the office.
The two still went to the dock together.
COSCO Shipping's factory building is next to an old shipyard. The large wharf is their most valuable property, which was repaired and protected by the Tianjin Municipal Government, and then transferred to the Central Plains Shipping for further expansion, and now can berth 100,000-ton ships, and there is a new wharf in the adjacent waters to continue to expand.
The 100,000-ton oil tanker, like a steel giant made of more than a dozen high-rise buildings, floats quietly on the sea. Already puts a lot of pressure on people.
At this moment, sparks are splashing on the deck of the tanker. The FPSO of the ship 5-11 in the number is a single-point mooring type, so the first thing to do is to set up an internal turret type STP compartment in the bow of the ship, so that the ship can rotate 360 degrees around the STP compartment to reduce the impact of wind and waves.
In order to allow a 250-meter-long ship to be moored at a single point. The STP warehouse is 8 meters high and 12 meters long, and half of the foreign engineers and an equal number of Chinese engineers were dispatched to install this single device.
This is also the first step in the transformation of oil tankers.
Su Cheng rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up to watch, He Yuwei gently tugged at his sleeve.
Turning his head, it was Minister Yue and his entourage who also came to visit. He Chengjun followed.
Compared with the last time they met, Minister Yue's complexion was much better, and he didn't want to be helped, and when he saw Su Cheng from a distance, he smiled and said, "Meet again." ”
"Hello Minister Yue. Su Cheng smiled and said, "You ......guys came to see the transformation?"
"Take a turn, just a few of us, stop bothering others. Minister Yue was a little old-fashioned, waved his wrinkled hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go up there and take a look, Xiao Su is preparing to be a supervisor, right?"
"That's pretty much it. "Sioux City is very open.
A few people went up to the deck and heard a string of English.
There are more than 80 foreigners, half of whom are doing machining in the workshop, and the remaining half are doing renovation on the ship. The space on the ship is smaller, the workers are more congregated, and when the language is used, it is actually more inclined to English. Even workers who don't know much English are willing to speak in English, just as practice. Compared with the foreign engineering company twenty or thirty years later, the English proficiency of COSCO Shipping workers is much worse, but they are more eager to learn than the workers of later generations, even if they are usually shy, they all open their mouths at this time.
Just looking at their way of communication, Minister Yue nodded lightly and said, "The quality of COSCO's workers is better than that of most factories in China, not bad, not bad." By the way, I've heard that this kind of ship requires a lot of precision, isn't that right?"
He Chengjun said: "Indeed, according to Haliburton's requirements, the levelness of the upper and lower rings is 1 mm, the height difference is at most 5 mm, and the eccentricity seems to be 1.5 mm, so the welding deformation must be controlled." ”
Minister Yue said with great interest: "Then can you control it?"
He Chengjun smiled a little embarrassedly: "Now it is mainly maintained by foreign engineers, as well as engineers from Dahua Laboratory. ”
"Dahua Laboratory?" Minister Yue looked at Su Cheng.
"We've done two sets of offshore rigs, and that one is more accurate than FPSO. Sioux City smiled.
"It seems that you are taking the technical route. Minister Yue smiled, and then said, "However, you'd better reflect this part of the technology......
There was something in his words, and He Chengjun knew after a little thought that COSCO Shipping's paper score might not be dominant.
He Yuwei's face was pale, and only Su Cheng's expression remained unchanged.
