Sun Daofu, the general manager of CSSC, listened to Su Cheng's words, became interested, and asked: "You said that the production speed of Hyundai Heavy Industry is faster than ours, how much faster can it be?"

Sun Daofu's administrative level is at the provincial and ministerial level, exactly the same as the chief executive of PetroChina and the Ministry of Railways. If he were a little younger, it would be possible for him to change his head to a certain province and become a governor.

Su Cheng recalled the information he had read when he was reading, and muttered, "If it is one ship and two ships, there will probably not be too obvious differences. However, if it is ten or twenty ships, the average construction time of each ship is compressed to 90 days, which is not a problem at all. ”

By around 03, when China began to develop the shipbuilding industry, the average construction speed of ships in South Korea was approaching 60 days, that is, within 2 months. The application of the Giant General Section Shipbuilding Law and the Flat Land Shipbuilding Law made their fastest speed close to 1 month, which was unimaginable in China in the early 90s.

In fact, 90 days is also a problem that the leaders of China Shipbuilding Industry have not considered.

"Is it so fast?" repeated Mai Wengui, the chief engineer of the China Shipbuilding with a long face and a nose.

In terms of academic status, Mai Wengui is two heads higher than Li Cang. He was a cutting-edge shipbuilding talent trained in China, and went east to Japan in the early days of reform and opening up, studied for 5 years, and quickly became the chief engineer of China Shipbuilding after returning. Mai Wengui's history of struggle is almost the smoothest history of struggle in Chinese academics, which also benefits from his full fighting spirit.

Domestic industrial enterprises, if they want to achieve something, must have a fighting spirit, otherwise they will be defeated in countless problems. Now, Mai Wengui obviously doesn't like the statement that Su Cheng was defeated before the battle, and although his tone is not questioning, it also contains strong suspicion.

It is also that he is not familiar with South Korea. Before the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the ROK, the impression of the Chinese people on South Korea was almost stuck in the stage of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. What is there in South Korea and what stage of technological and economic development is a matter of concern only to senior officials and diplomats.

Mak Wengui is also unclear about the situation. Only use interrogative sentences.

Su Cheng took a sip of wine lightly and said in a narrative tone: "Everyone knows that the segmented manufacturing process can divide a ship into dozens or even hundreds of parts of different sizes. In this way, when producing the same or similar ship type, the shipyard can produce the same sections in large quantities by setting up a large number of workshops. So. The more ships are produced. The faster the natural production speed. In this regard, the Koreans have been 5 years ahead of us, and they may have accumulated a large number of segments that can be used directly. ”

Some commonly used segments can be manufactured in advance, just like a factory produces an ordinary industrial product. The segmented manufacturing process is to turn the shipbuilding into an industrialization factory.

At present, only Dahua Shipbuilding is using the giant section manufacturing process, which is to globalize shipbuilding.

As soon as Su Cheng said this, Mai Wengui fell into thought. After a while, he asked, "Will it take a long time to connect segments?" It is not easy to weld seamlessly. ”

It seems that he has learned about the sectional shipbuilding method, but he is not very clear about the specific production process.

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Computer assistance is essential. If the technology of laser ranging can be applied, the accuracy can be greatly improved, and some remote sensing institutes in China have relevant technical reserves. South Korea probably bought it directly. So it's faster than before, not slow. ”

"What about Dahua?" Sun Daofu asked.

Su Cheng glanced at him unexpectedly and said slowly: "Dahua has always paid great attention to computer technology, especially engineering software, so we already have a complete set of computer-aided software and hardware equipment. ”

In this regard, Dahua is far ahead of domestic enterprises. This has to do with Sioux City's personal experience.

As early as two years ago, when domestic enterprises were still discussing what computers were for. Dahua has established an electronic procurement platform for the procurement and manufacturing of high-end products such as offshore drilling platforms. The long-term needs of supply chain and other projects have also led to the rapid growth of Dahua's internal IT department, which is not only responsible for maintaining the company's internal network. and research and development of new industrial software and technologies.

Because Su Cheng showed Zhou Lao very early, he gained the support of some departments, and he had an advantage in fighting for resources. By New Year's Day in '93, Dahua Industry, which had been recruited 4 times, had hired a large number of high-tech talents. This is also due to the two-way selection system of talents.

Sun Daofu was a little surprised, nodded slowly, and laughed in an instant: "In this way, we have chosen the right choice for cooperation with Dahua Shipbuilding." ”

"Cooperation is always beneficial. If CSIC is interested in the sectional shipbuilding method, we can cooperate in research. "Sioux City didn't mention the flat-ground shipbuilding method, but used the sectional shipbuilding method to block their other demands.

As a mature technology, the diffusion rate of sectional shipbuilding is very fast. In the 70s, it was still the core technology of some shipyards, and in the 80s, when South Korea began to develop the shipbuilding industry, the sectional shipbuilding method was already a relatively common high technology, and as South Korea acquired more and more technology, the shipyards of Japan, Europe and the United States became less and less secretive about this technology. In 1992, China may only discuss this technology in professional journals, and conduct some experiments and verifications along the way, but in another two years, at most, it is estimated that CSSC will be able to obtain a full set of technology.

Dahua Shipbuilding was able to get the technology of the sectional shipbuilding method a few years in advance, just to give money. Any company in any country, as long as it has money in its hand, can get this level of technology. Because China Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. is a national enterprise, it is troublesome in terms of technology introduction.

It is relatively difficult to obtain approval from the SASAC, the NDRC or the State Council for pure technology purchases. Because of this, state-owned enterprises often adopt the scheme of purchasing equipment and accompanying technology.

For CSSC, it would be good to be able to obtain the sectional shipbuilding method now, and even Rong Shangguo was embarrassed to talk about the flat-ground shipbuilding method, and said: "It just so happens that our shipbuilding workshop does not have many working hours, so I will send 200 people to study it." ”

Learning the method of sectional shipbuilding, where can you use 200 people, these mechanics are a reward to Sioux City.

Rong Shangguo said it in front of everyone, and everyone took it for granted.

Chief Engineer Mai Wengui became extremely happy, and he asked questions from east to west, but he did not let the banquet be cold.

From beginning to end, Zhan Zhifang did not speak, presumably being warned by Sun Daofu or more.

A deputy ministerial-level official, do this part. It's aggrieved enough.

Sioux City only pretended that he didn't exist, and didn't glance at him until he left.

From Zhan Zhifang's eyes, he could see a strong dissatisfaction, and Su Cheng just smiled. The current Dahua shipbuilding industry is fledgling, and when the LNG ship is built, Su Cheng is sure that he will not dare to look at himself.

It doesn't matter if it's a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise. Industrial products should be spoken by sales volume and market share. The competition is about technology and profit.

After New Year's Day, 1993 officially arrived.

On January 20 of that year, US President Clinton was sworn in, ushering in the last Belle Époque of the United States. In the same year, China's bid to host the 2000 Olympics failed, forcing it to postpone its dream for eight years.

In China in the 90s, the booming private economy gave many people a taste of affluence, but it did not bring direct benefits to the country's strength. The wave of military-to-civilian conversion and layoffs from state-owned enterprises. With a ferocity beyond most people's imagination, it rushed to the face. At some point, the throes of reform become an eternal pain for a family.

With the Lunar New Year approaching. Pre-holiday bonuses and New Year's goods, as well as the debt collection of suppliers, have become a heavy burden for many state-owned enterprises, and CSSC is no exception.

There are a lot of factories under CSSC. There are not only shipbuilding-related enterprises, but also unrelated enterprises with a variety of operations, plus affiliated units such as schools, hospitals, and research institutes. In the era of the planned economy, the larger the scale of expansion, the stronger the power of the enterprise. However, under the tide of market economy, these enterprises that cannot make money or fall into losses have become a kind of responsibility that they have to bear.

Sun Daofu was caught off guard and was buried in the sea of Wenshan at once. It wasn't until January was over, as if I had just woken up from a dream, and I deployed manpower and went to Singapore to bid.

It is said that it is like waking up from a dream, but in fact, it is also forced by the deficit.

When Su Cheng and Rong Shangguo met at the airport, they found him with a sad face.

Dahua has its own information bureau, and Su Cheng knows that Jiangnan Shipyard has counted last year's profits. The financial list that didn't make money and lost money, any business leader would have a sad face when he saw it.

Jiangnan Shipyard is such a big enterprise, once the loss is tens of millions of yuan, if you get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, this money can be exchanged for Moutai, drown all the leaders of the Chinese shipbuilding, and help clean the clothes by the way.

The trouble of the Chinese ship is not something that can be solved by the little Dahua, and in the next few years, the situation will get worse and worse, and Su Cheng can only sigh secretly.

After getting on the plane and seeing it in the air, Rong Shangguo had the nature to speak, but he faced Su Cheng and said: "Su Dong, we must not return empty-handed." ”

Compared with the casualness of the previous days, Rong Shangguo was obviously holding back.

Su Cheng nodded first, and then asked, "What is the target of Jiangnan Shipyard?"

"At least four large ships of more than 20,000 tons. If you can bid for a ship under 20,000 tons, you can take it to another company or make it yourself. When Rong Shangguo said this, he naturally asked for Su Cheng's consent.

Su Cheng has no shortage of orders in his hands, and the scale of Dahua Shipbuilding is far from the scale of China Shipbuilding, he smiled slightly and said, "According to what you said, the boat will be handed over to them." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Su. "Rong Shangguo is really grateful. Don't look at the orders held by China Shipbuilding, it is enough to do it for more than 1 year, but there are not many profitable ships there. The chaotic business environment in China has made it difficult for state-owned enterprises to make both public and private money. The profits of many ships are close to the control line of the shipyard, Rong Shangguo can only find high-priced orders, with those low-priced orders, in order to make the production of the whole factory lively, if it is all low-price orders, in the shipbuilding industry with serious advances, it is on the verge of bankruptcy rhythm.

There was no word all the way, and the connecting flight arrived in Singapore, which was already in the evening.

The Singapore Shipping Group, which presided over the bidding, sent someone to take them to the hotel where they stayed, and Rong Shangguo immediately sent someone to investigate how many companies had finally arrived.

The results that came together made his face pale and pale.
