Dahua Shipbuilding's recruitment process is going very well.

A shipyard does need a lot of people, but the number of professional technicians is not too much, Dahua Shipbuilding temporarily set the target at 1,000 people. Some of these positions can be satisfied by transferring workers from Dahua Industrial Group itself.

As a large diesel engine factory with thousands of people, Jichai has provided hundreds of workers to Dahua Petrochemical and hundreds of people to Dahua Shipbuilding, which is also easy.

The number of people poaching from CSSC was limited to 200 by Sioux City, plus more than 20 people recruited from the society, as well as technicians from other departments of Jichai and Dahua Shipbuilding, the technicians of the LNG project department are complete.

Inside Dahua Industrial, there was laughter.

Taking this opportunity, Sioux City also took Shulan to inspect the Oceanographic Research Institute of Dahua Laboratory.

The pre-research stage of the LNG project was placed in the Institute of Oceanography.

Gu Haijian put on a white shirt early, and stood at the door with several office leaders to greet Su Cheng.

Shu Lan changed into a set of popular one-step skirts, which was the front version of the later OL outfit. She followed Su Cheng's side step by step and whispered, "Fortunately, there is no more queue to welcome, it's too uncomfortable." ”

"The employees of Dahua Shipbuilding are my people, he can't use my people to line up to welcome me, right?" Su Cheng teased and stepped forward to shake hands with Gu Haijian and the others.

Compared with previous years, Gu Haijian is obviously old, and there are traces of gray hair on his temples. Being a business manager is much harder than being a pure technician.

However, Gu Haijian's spirit was very good, he held Su Cheng in his hand, shook it vigorously, and said: "Su Dong, I am about to report the good news to the group headquarters, the Yingang column plate seam welding machine we are making has applied for two invention patents, which have been approved. They are the invention patent of the conductive shaft of the electric welding machine, and the welding drive synchronous mechanism of the resistance seam welding machine, through these two technologies, we can ensure that the sealing of the electric welding fully meets the requirements. ”

The technology that Dahua Lab is doing, Su Cheng has an understanding, and asked in surprise: "Oh, so fast?"

"Half sell and half give. Gu Haizai laughed twice and said, "It is my junior brother who made these two invention patents, one is studying in France, and the other is working in Brazil like me." I made a special trip to bring them back, and with a high salary of $100,000 a year, they brought back the unfinished technology, and it finally lived up to expectations. ”

Gu Haijian's speech was fast. A salary of $100,000 is very rare even abroad, not to mention the current situation at home.

Although Dahua Industrial is a private company, Gu Haijian is also taking a certain risk by offering such a salary. Now that the results have been achieved, he can speak out hesitantly.

Su Cheng himself supported him, and at this time he also specifically asked: "Is there any legal problem with the patent?" If there is, please ask the legal department of the group to come forward and eliminate the impact as soon as possible. ”

Gu Haijian affirmed: "When they were in their respective companies, they were only in the conception stage and did not implement them, and all the patents belonged to Dahua Laboratory. ”

"That's good. ”

As the administrative director of Dahua Laboratory, Li Lianxiang said in a timely manner: "The Yingang Column Seam Welding Machine that Dahua Laboratory is making is expected to be put into use within the year, and when the time comes, this will be the first domestic equipment used in our country for LNG ship manufacturing." That's what we're doing today. ”

In the process of shipbuilding, welding is the place where the most labor is employed, and automatic welding machine is the inevitable development direction.

Su Cheng nodded, choosing to cooperate with a Korean company just to save money. The contract they signed with the French Atlantic shipyard itself had loopholes, so South Korea itself first spread it domestically, so that companies such as Samsung Heavy Industries also got the technology for LNG ships.

Dahua Industrial, through them, will definitely spend less money than Atlantic Shipyard.

However, there is also a certain amount of risk associated with this kind of trading. France's Atlantic shipyard must be through the two knives of South Korea regardless of the after-sales service of Dahua Industrial, whether it is warranty and maintenance, or design and production. The current Korean shipbuilding industry is not like it will be 20 years from now, and the level is quite limited.

If Sioux City didn't have a deep trust in Dahua's level of self-reliance, he wouldn't have dared to use indirect purchases. Continuing to contact the French Atlantic shipyard is also intended to be used to put pressure on South Korea, if they are not willing to sell for money, Dahua Industrial will find their predecessor, the French.

As the group spoke, they arrived in the laboratory.

Dahua purchased two Yingang column plate seam welding machines for research. One of them was used as a prototype and was only dismantled and not modified, while the other was repaired beyond recognition and installed with several new technologies of Dahua's own.

For example, this kind of industrial machine, after understanding the basics, it is like playing with any functions you want to add. However, if you want to buy a machine with additional features, you will pay a lot more. And in the construction process of a ship, a seam welding machine of one mode is definitely not good.

Dahua has thoroughly researched a piece of equipment on its own, which can reduce its own costs even if it cannot be used for production profit.

A $200 million LNG ship would cost $20 million even to reduce the cost by 10.

In the tradition of Made in China, the cost of manufacturing the first batch of products can exceed the national average cost, but then, the cost will fall all the way to below the average cost of 50, and finally, Made in China will completely complete the dream of capitalism, providing cheaper products for the whole society, and obtaining excess profits by the way.

Since Sioux City began to make LNG ships, it aims to greatly reduce the cost of LNG ships. Improvements in production tools are naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Gu Haijian's younger brother Bai Muyun personally operated the seam welding machine and demonstrated it to everyone.

It's a unit that looks like a large vacuum cleaner, and the rails installed underneath ensure that it's welded in the right direction. When Bai Muyun succeeded in arcing, he saw that the seam welding machine moved forward slowly, and at the same time welding, a large amount of fish-eaten materials were sprinkled on the weld, and there was no trace of fire.

In about 10 minutes or so, a steel plate is welded. Bai Muyun said excitedly: "If we don't consider the patent, we can already produce our own seam welding machine, but it is estimated that it will take another year or two to bypass the patent." ”

Su Cheng couldn't help but stroke it with his hands, and the welding was really tight.

Bai Muyun coughed heavily beside him and said, "Su Dong, Yin Gang can't be touched with his hands. ”

"How?"

"Insteel is easy to rust, the sweat on people's hands sticks to Insteel, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour, Insteel will rust, and the indicators drop sharply, if it is on a ship, this steel plate will have to be redone. Bai Muyun raised his hand as he spoke, and said, "When we work, we all wear sheepskin gloves, just to absorb sweat. ”

"Sheepskin gloves ......" Su Cheng suddenly remembered that in the document he signed, there was a ticket for sheepskin gloves, and he was still strange at the time, but he didn't expect it to be for welders.

The workers responsible for the welding of Yinwa steel are not enough to say that there are hundreds of people, and thousands of pairs of gloves are not enough. Su Cheng shook his head, LNG ships do need money everywhere.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said, "So, let's build a ship by the sea, and Yin Gang is also very susceptible to moisture?"

"Yes, it is necessary to establish a fully enclosed humidity control environment, and also cooperate with strict management. If we damage a piece of Yin Steel, we will lose tens of thousands of yuan, which is a very easy cost. Bai Muyun studied mechanical manufacturing, but because of his work, he participated in the construction of LNG ships, which is one of the reasons why he was poached by his senior Gu Haijian.

Gu Haijian smiled and said: "We have made a plan, and the links involving Yin Gang welding have been specially marked, and we are also trying our best to reduce the risk of moisture." ”

Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and after looking around, he let the accompanying people disperse, and then stopped Zhong Zhigen, Li Lianxiang and Gu Haijian, and said: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, let's discuss it again, if there is no problem, we are ready to order steel plates from the steel mill." ”

"What about the technology? We have to wait until China and South Korea formally establish diplomatic relations before we can go to them. ”

"I already have eyebrows, and I'll be in charge of this matter for the time being. Su Cheng said so, and he didn't have a lot of confidence.

In the process of establishing diplomatic relations between China and the ROK, the ROK delegation and the Chinese delegation talked very secretly, or in other words, they kept the secret very well.

Not to mention notifying the media, even the charter flights of both sides came quietly and left quietly. The Chinese personnel did not go to pick up the plane, and the same did the South Korean personnel.

Until the third round, no voices have been heard.

If it weren't for the deep relationship between Dahua Industrial, they wouldn't even know if China and South Korea were talking.

This is because there are too many points and areas involved in Sino-ROK relations, and the first issue that is difficult to resolve is the DPRK and Taiwan issue, and the ROK and Taiwan relations are very good, and the relations between China and the DPRK are also very good.

The business negotiations that Dahua Industrial can participate in can normally be carried out after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides.

But for Sioux City, such a push was clearly insufficient.

Therefore, he simply booked a small building at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and secretly waited for the South Korean delegation. During this time, Su Cheng also lived in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and every morning when he got up, he pretended to be doing morning exercises, and went around the field to see if any small buildings had entered a new state of alert.

Although the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is open to the public, it still requires a letter of introduction and other things, and Su Cheng can flow in it, which is stained with the light of Zhou Lao.

After living like this for a few days, the No. 8 small building was indeed quietly inhabited.

What he didn't expect was that this team, who didn't know if it was the South Korean delegation, had no intention of coming out after living in the small building.

If it weren't for the fact that people brought food in every day, and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came and went back and forth, they would not have known that there were still people living inside.

Su Cheng waited for two days, and found that there was no way to contact privately, so he simply found Ding Zhipeng and asked him to coordinate a meeting with the South Korean representative. (To be continued)
