Watching Dahua Industry return with a full load, Rong Shangguo's eyes were hot, but also a little relaxed.

The timing of these bidding contracts was so harsh that Rong Shangguo finally gave up, although he wanted to win a few high-priced contracts.

Thinking about the liquidated damages of tens of millions of yuan, Rong Shangguo's ambition before departure quietly disappeared, and then he sighed with emotion, sitting on the plane, and couldn't help but ask Su Cheng a similar question: "9 ships, can Dahua Shipbuilding finish it?"

"Of course, Dahua Shipbuilding has been expanding since last year. In addition, we use the flat land shipbuilding method without the restrictions of the dock, and it is enough to start construction at the same time. ”

"If it can't be done, the shipping company is afraid that it will suffer a huge blow. ”

"If you have a few hundred million yuan, you can only admit compensation. Su Cheng smiled and said, "If you don't sign the contract today, if the ship market weakens, I'm afraid that the order will become a problem again." ”

"Having said that, I always felt that the risk was too high. ”

Su Cheng smiled and did not respond. For state-owned enterprises like Rong Shangguo, Sucheng has seen a lot in recent years. At best, they are cautious, and at worst, they lack courage.

The three-year planned economy is not to hone the management personnel, but to select the management personnel, just like natural selection, the cautious management officials are retained, and the bold will eventually be excluded, just like the rejection of non-own cells by an organism.

Rong Shangguo is already one of the few open officials in China, who understands English and technology, and has received many years of party spirit education. But from Sioux City's point of view, he is still on the conservative side. In the face of the sudden reduction in bidding prices and bidding time, there is no flexibility to lower expectations...... The opportunities for heavy industry have always been fleeting. A ship design, can build 1 ship is good, build 2 is the luck of inviting the sky, a set of equipment will be obsolete after 1 year, if it can not run at full capacity within 1 year, the profit will be very meager.

The delivery time of 9 months may indeed be a little short, but there is no advanced technology such as the flat land shipbuilding method. It is not impossible to mobilize the workers of the whole factory.

It can only be said that decades of leisure work have erased the factor of their struggle.

We departed in the morning and returned to the port at noon.

After getting off the plane, Rong Shangguo said a little unwillingly: "This bidding is really crazy, alas...... CSSC is going to have a hard time this year. ”

Sioux City shrugged. The burden of CSSC itself is very heavy, and near the end of the year, there are no high-profit orders, and I am afraid that there will be problems with the payment to suppliers.

Rong Shangguo glanced at him. "In recent years, prices have risen rapidly, and government officials and industrial units are raising wages. Our employees also have requirements. The year before last, the finance calculated an account, saying that there was only 300 million left, so we added a little overtime pay to the front-line workers, thinking that when the situation is good in the coming year, we will give everyone a salary increase. As a result, last year, it was a loss of more than 100 million. This year, the whole factory is holding back its strength and building two more big ships. In the end, it is like this, it can only be regarded as flat. ”

Su Cheng knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't want to follow his wishes, so he just sighed: "In the past few years, the life of the company has not been easy. ”

"Not really. Rong Shangguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nine years ago." The salary of our front-line workers is 1 yuan, and the bonus is 1 yuan, and at that time, the cadres of the organs only received 1 yuan a year. The cadres of the city mentioned the ship. Who is not envious? The workers are also full of energy. I remember that when I was a year, there was a newly transferred deputy director, who took a fancy to our monthly salary of 17 yuan and a bonus of 12 yuan, so he wanted to put the object to work in our factory...... Up to now, our front-line workers still get 2 yuan in wages, and government cadres also get 2 yuan, and the bonus for others is two or three hundred, and our bonus is one or twenty. Shame on you!"

"The country is in trouble, and there is nothing to be done. Su Cheng said casually.

Rong Shangguo sighed: "The work efficiency of our CSSC is indeed not as good as that of private companies, but we have indeed done a lot of things over the years. The foundation of the country is weak, we build a big ship by self-reliance, and the capital of the enterprise is small, so we advance funds to support national construction...... Our workers have sweated and blooded, our products cover all the main combat ships and auxiliary ships of the Chinese Navy, and our civilian ships have passed the inspection of the world's major classification societies from scratch, which is really not easy. ”

He looked at Sioux City and said, "Our workers deserve better." ”

Su Cheng rubbed his fingers, bowed his head for a while, and said, "If Mr. Rong has anything to say, just say it directly." ”

"It's a sad year. Rong Shangguo looked at the exit in front of him, stopped, and said: "We said before, each bidding, each taking responsibility, cooperative production, 9 ships are Su Dong's bidding, of course Su Dong's target, China Shipbuilding is also willing to cooperate with Dahua Shipbuilding to produce, but ...... The shipyard is really difficult. ”

"Well, according to what we said before, if CSSC is willing to cooperate in production, it can get up to 3% of the profit, if Rong is interested, we will see how much we can share after we go back. ”

"That's not what I meant...... Rong Shangguo touched his chin and said: "Dahua is willing to share the production for CSSC, this is friendship." However, I have a reluctant request, according to the regulations, the shipowner has to pay a deposit of about 3% to the shipyard......"

"The shipyard has to advance more than 5% to receive the second payment. ”

Rong Shangguo said embarrassedly: "I want to ask, can the work assigned to CSSC also be counted as a deposit for us?"

Su Cheng understood now, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The large state-owned shipyard can't even open the pot.

Although I have heard of this kind of thing before and expected it, it is still very emotional to encounter it.

Factories with tens of thousands of employees and assets of hundreds of millions of dollars will not be able to pay their dues for the next month? It will only happen in this special period in the 9s of the 2nd century.

His contemplation made Rong Shangguo mistakenly think that he was refusing, and said in disappointment: "You don't need to give a proportional deposit, 30,000 is enough." Or 20,000 will do. ”

Su Cheng waved his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said, "Just press the 3% deposit, 3% of the 3%, about 9%, is it okay?"

"Of course, of course. Rong Shangguo nodded hurriedly.

The 9% deposit for 9 ships is definitely more than 50,000. Such a large sum of money did not have to be given to the production plant first, and the advance in the heavy industry industry was very common, and it was also an invisible threshold. It doesn't matter what is produced, whether it's a shipyard or a lathe. Rong Shangguo hesitated because his requirements exceeded those of ordinary factories, especially when the production qualifications were not finalized.

Su Cheng took two steps forward, stopped again, and said, "Since we talked about the deposit, I want to talk about the outsourcing situation by the way." ”

"Of course. ”

"We want CSSC's shipyard to help make the ship's general section. ”

"Total?"

"The sectional shipbuilding method is to divide a ship into multiple parts and make splices separately. Total paragraphs. Just divided into several parts, which can be manufactured by different shipyards. Then it is transported to the main factory for splicing. Su Cheng explained simply, and continued: "The best case is that the shipyard uses the process of sectional shipbuilding to produce the total section, which is the fastest. It's okay not to do that, as long as you can produce the general section. ”

There is nothing special about the process of making the general section. Assuming that a ship is divided into six parts, that one section is equivalent to one-sixth of the hull. CSSC's shipyard can produce the whole ship, and naturally it can produce the total section. The most difficult part of limiting the popularization of the general section shipbuilding method is the precision of welding.

A 1-storey ship, when the two main sections are spliced together. The up and down error cannot exceed 2 cm. Such a requirement must be measured by laser ranging and computer special calculation.

Of course, the accuracy requirements of the sectional shipbuilding method are also very high, the difference is that a 30,000-ton ship is divided into 1 part and 5 parts, and the weight and volume of each part are dozens of times different. The difficulty of splicing will also increase accordingly.

For shipyards. The production difficulty of the workshop and the shipyard of the production section is actually lower than that of the old method of producing the whole ship, and the difficulty is concentrated in the main factory that does the final splicing.

Naturally, the main technologies are concentrated in the main factory.

Rong Shangguo's level in the shipbuilding industry. Ten blocks higher than Sioux City, I immediately understood the Tao inside.

He actually prefers to do the whole ship, even if it is a part of the whole ship, and he earns more than he does sections and sections.

However, Dahua decided to adopt a new way of building ships, and Rong Shangguo could not change Sioux City's mind.

Contracts are signed with 25 or 26 days of delivery, and the old method is not destined to accomplish such a feat.

Rong Shangguo could only nod silently. For the current CSSC, getting the deposit is more important than anything else.

Sioux City didn't tell him exactly how many general sections he was doing.

At the current pace, 9 ships must be started at the same time, and if the experience of other shipyards is used, it is necessary to manufacture more than 3 shipyards at the same time.

Dahua uses the giant section shipbuilding method, which will not really reduce the workload, it just transfers the production of the section to other shipyards.

Nine ships require less than four sections, but theoretically four shipyards can produce at the same time, so maybe it won't even take 25 days.

However, there is a cost for shipyards to release materials, and a slightly larger shipyard is reluctant to accept a quarter-of-the-ship share. However, if the number of sections is increased to four, there will be more shipyards willing to accept it.

In this way, it may take 9, or at least 5 shipyards to catch up. There are doubts about whether CSSC has five shipyards involved, and if they are unwilling to take over, Sioux City will have to outsource to foreign shipyards.

The advantage of the general section shipbuilding method is that Dahua Shipbuilding can send 4 bows, or 4 sterns, to the same shipyard.

It is obviously easier to build a bow of the same tonnage of 4 knots than to build a complete ship. It would be even more simplified if these sections were to be built in sections and let the section factories reproduce the same sections.

This was also in 1993, when other shipyards in China had not yet begun to adopt the sectional shipbuilding method. Otherwise, Sioux City dared to bid in 2 days.

Pei Zhongyong, who returned to Hyundai Heavy Industry, could never imagine what revolutionary results the application of new technologies and new ideas could produce.
