Chapter 409: Big Advantage
"Su Dong, the meaning of the flat land shipbuilding method is that you can build a ship without a dock," everyone is a shipbuilding person, and it is not that they really don't understand the meaning of flat land shipbuilding. It's just that this matter is too important, and it is unbelievable that it appears in front of everyone so suddenly.
Shouldn't such a major invention be celebrated in the Great Hall of the People or something?
Everyone obviously came to visit the new factory of Dahua Shipbuilding, and suddenly saw such a thing as flat shipbuilding, and the strange mood was difficult to describe. It is natural to say that you are sure again.
Su Cheng replied in the affirmative: "The flat land shipbuilding method is to build ships on flat land without using docks. In this way, we can expand production at any time without the constraints of the dock, and if we encounter an economic crisis or something like that, we don't have to worry about the waste caused by the empty dock......"
In the carriage, there was a buzzing voice. No one had the heart to hear Sioux City talk about the benefits of the flat land shipbuilding method, and the people here, who didn't know the troubles of the dockyard? Who didn't know the benefits of not using the dock.
A 300-meter-long dock cannot build a 310-meter-long ship. The cost of an 8,000-ton dock is 30 million yuan, a 50,000-ton dock is 100 million yuan, and a 80,000-ton, 100,000-ton or even 300,000-ton dock does not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
From the day such a shipyard is built, it is necessary to repay the loan, maintain the operation, and enjoy the pressure of equipment depreciation and replacement of new equipment at any time. If the order is not enough, the pressure on the shipyard can be imagined.
In view of this, shipyards are very cautious about building new docks. It is better to hold the order and complete it next year or the year after tomorrow than to build a dock so rashly that it is empty and wasted. A flexible manufacturing strategy alone can save manufacturers a lot of money, not to mention the cost advantage it brings.
People in the shipping industry have not thought about such things as the flat land shipbuilding law, but the problem of ship launching has always bothered everyone. Tens of thousands of tons and hundreds of thousands of tons of big guys, falling into the water with a pop, can smash themselves themselves.
In addition, the application of new technology is also very important, the emergence of the sectional shipbuilding method or the general section shipbuilding method, the improvement of the welding process, laser ranging and computer simulation software, etc., with the advent of the 90s, have appeared on the drawings of ship designers.
It should be said that since the early 90s, all the technologies required for the flat land shipbuilding method have matured one after another.
It was also in this situation that Sioux City was able to take a step forward and pierce the window paper of the ship's launch and register a series of patents.
Going back 10 or 20 years, the "house" has not been built, so how to talk about the concept of "window paper".
Originally, it was the Japanese who had the greatest hope of inventing the flat land shipbuilding method, but they preferred to take all the elements into their own hands. From cranes and steel plates to painting and rivets, they all produce them by themselves, and they have accumulated enough docks in their history, so they have no desire to urgently develop flat land shipbuilding methods.
Sioux City learned from the experience of Koreans in history, and adopted the method of mass procurement outsourcing and technology transfer to integrate and develop the flat land shipbuilding method as quickly as possible. Laser ranging is outsourced, computer software is outsourced, and although the general section shipbuilding method is invented by itself, the various technologies required in it are still outsourced.
As a result, although a large amount of money was spent in the early stage, it was quickly recouped. In the future, if you have leisure, you can buy upstream manufacturers one by one, in the 90s, this kind of acquisition of upstream manufacturers is not rare, and in another 20 years, it will be much more common.
Without the explanation of Su Cheng, people in the shipping industry can understand the huge benefits of the flat land shipbuilding method, and they all have a light on their faces.
"Su Dong, how to launch the ship built by the flat land shipbuilding method?" The flesh on the cheeks of the vice president of Jiangnan Shipyard pouted, and he trembled slightly because he spoke too fast.
Su Cheng smiled back and said, "We have developed a set of patented technologies, and it is no longer a problem to get into the water." ”
What technology, he naturally won't say.
The excitement of everyone calmed down, and they couldn't say anything, just looked at the ship under construction not far away, and wanted to find a trace of experience with their eyes.
Su Cheng laughed and didn't say much.
Technology is what it is. It has uniform standards, and it has its own value. Factories with good technology and skilled workers don't need to be touted, and the ordinary is sharp.
Dahua Shipbuilding has the technology of flat land shipbuilding, and there is no need to talk about hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, and there is no need to say any excellent management, it is this technology that can kill most shipyards in seconds.
Before the patent authorization was obtained, or before Dahua's patent expired, the slight advantages accumulated by enterprises such as CSSC in the past all ceased to exist.
This can be seen from Zhan Zhifang's expression.
After the commuter car stopped, everyone couldn't wait to visit the flat shipbuilding. Only Zhan Zhifang looked at it from a distance a few times, and he was reluctant to move.
Looking at it, Dahua started construction of at least five ships at the same time, all using the technology of flat ground shipbuilding. No company will use five boats to play tricks.
After determining that Dahua had the technology of flat shipbuilding, Zhan Zhifang first thought about himself and CSSC, rather than watching the excitement.
Today's launching ceremony was unexpectedly long.
During this period, someone kept ringing the BP machine, or a secretary hurried to whisper.
But there is no one who leaves on his own initiative.
Everyone understands that such opportunities do not come into existence. Moreover, many people still have thoughts and want to cooperate with Dahua Shipbuilding.
However, shipping companies have to look at the face of ships and oceans. Companies such as heavy machinery and steel mills have to discern the changes that this has brought about, and the site is in a strange state of silence.
Only the shouts of the workers and the splashing of sparks interfered with everyone's sight and hearing.
When the sun was about to set, the vice president of Jiangnan Shipyard came over with his hands rubbed his hands, and said, "Su Dong, your shipbuilding method is very advanced, why don't you start a few more ships?"
"It's just experimental now, and honing the technique is a priority. Su Cheng had already seen Zhan Zhifang talking to him in a misplaced position. The two are under the same flag of CSSC, so it is not surprising that they have a relationship.
The vice president laughed twice and said: "Su Dong may know that our Jiangnan Shipyard is the shipbuilding company with the most orders in the country, and now there are orders of 4 million tons. If Dahua Shipbuilding is willing to cooperate, we can put out some orders. ”
The number of orders held, to some extent, is indeed indicative of strength. Normally, shipping companies have to hold orders that can start work for at least two years, and large companies often hold orders that can be completed for three or even five years.
In the style of Chinese state-owned enterprises, it is not uncommon for the delivery date to be extended to 8 years, anyway, it is a business-to-business contract, and it is signed first and favored.
With orders in place for the next few years, shipyards will be able to arrange production and deliveries with ease, so that the dockyard and other equipment will always be running at full capacity. And for the shipowner, it is not unacceptable to wait two or three years to see the ship.
Dahua Shipbuilding used a low-price strategy, not even letting go of small fishing boats of one or two thousand tons, and accumulated orders of 500,000 tons in a short period of time. This is already a leader in domestic shipyards, but compared with the accumulation of Jiangnan Shipyard over the years, it is still quite inferior.
Of course, in terms of the orders obtained in the past six months, Dahua Shipbuilding has obtained more than China Shipbuilding Group, and half of Thailand comes from Southeast Asia and other regions, this is because of the cosmopolitan nature of shipyards.
If a shipyard can keep prices below 70% of the average, it will not be a problem to get orders. The shipowner doesn't care if you're famous or not, as long as you can do it according to the contract. The great difference between the means of production and the means of subsistence lies in the fact that the means of production attach importance to economy, and the shipowner first calculates the economic account.
For Dahua Shipbuilding, there is a giant general section shipbuilding method, a flat land shipbuilding method, plus a series of newly purchased equipment...... If it weren't for the lack of proficiency of the personnel and the number of people, it would be no problem to lower it to 60% of the average, where do you care about the little tonnage that Jiangnan Shipyard evens out.
Su Cheng didn't want to add insults to this vice president who didn't know the truth, so he said with a smile: "Dahua Shipbuilding's current orders are enough, thank you Mr. Lu for your concern." ”
Mr. Lu touched his fleshy chin, his eyes flickered, and asked, "What, is there anything wrong with the flat land shipbuilding method?"
This time it was Sioux City's turn to wonder: "Why do you say that?"
"If our Jiangnan Shipyard has this flat land shipbuilding method, at least eight 50,000-ton ships will be started at one time, according to the 80-day cycle, 400,000 tons in three months, and 1.6 million tons a year. Hehe, all the orders were done in 2 and a half years. Dahua has only started construction of 5 small boats now...... I thought, you know. ”
Su Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "After this batch of ships is completed, we will start construction of 10,000-ton ships." In addition, when it comes to shipbuilding cycles, 80 days is actually a bit longer, and my request is 65 days. ”
"A 10,000-ton ship in 65 days?"
"Less than 50,000 tons. For ships over 50,000 tons, we will have to start construction for a while. "Sioux City didn't have the slightest intention of hiding it. This information is also difficult to disguise the past. The start and delivery of ships are all big moves, and those who are interested will know it when they check it.
On the contrary, the current Dahua shipbuilding industry still needs the help of domestic shipbuilding companies. Zhan Zhifang represents just a faction in the CSF. With the size of the central enterprises, two or three factions are the least. For example, Chubby's father Huang Hengfeng and Zhan Zhifang are not on the right path.
In the past, Zhan Zhifang came forward to fight Dahua Shipbuilding on behalf of China Shipbuilding, and others did not care. However, when Dahua Shipbuilding has a certain strength and can at least protect itself, Zhan Zhifang will not be able to represent CSIC, he will become the spokesperson of a certain faction in CSSC again, and Su Cheng will just wait for people from other factions of CSSC to come forward to cooperate.
The environmental changes brought about by this strength have been twisted by Sioux City. The so-called unity of all forces that can be united is precisely the inevitable choice of the weak new forces.
