Chapter 436: Something Amazing

【――】,

If the delivery of Dahua Industrial's ship was still expected by CSSC, then Singapore's marine shipping company, as the shipowner, did not consider such a thing at all.

Not a single employee of Singapore Marine Transport ever wondered what would happen if it took less than 6 months for Party B to deliver the work.

Who would want such a thing?

Therefore, when the official letter from Dahua Industrial was delivered to the office of the owner of the first ship, Singapore Marine Company, the other party thought it was a joke.

9 months of delivery is enough, 6 months to produce a smart freighter?

Although it is a very tight contract, it is a normal contract after all, which shipyard would use a world record-breaking method to build such a ship? How many times the number of workers and equipment will it take? Dahua Shipyard can't do it?

When the project manager in charge of this project saw the official letter, he became angry, and called the "sea" in a menacing manner, shouting in a tone of inquiry: "What are you kidding, we want a 10,000-ton ship, not a children's toy ......"

The staff of the marketing and sales department of Dahua Group, who answered the phone, smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly: "That's right, the 10,000-ton cargo ship you need has been completed in advance in accordance with the requirements of the contract, please send someone to accept it." This is an official notice. ”

"What are you kidding...... same sentence, the ship manager's non-standard Cantonese has turned into skepticism: "It's only been 200 days, how did it get done?"

"Dahua Industry has adopted the latest technology and completed the manufacturing work ahead of schedule with quality and quantity......" Here are two sentences of homeopathic publicity.

Vessels with short contract periods have the advantage that they do not limit the technology that can be used by the shipyard, even if it is completely new, as long as it meets the quality and safety requirements, it is allowed to be used without having to report to the shipowner. Ships with a two-to-three-year schedule are not so easy to talk about, and some shipowners will be specific to the layout and materials in the cabin.

In the case of poor information, the ship manager ended the call suspiciously, and then arranged for people to prepare to pick up the ship.

Out of distrust of the new ship, the ship's manager dispatched 60 engineers to Shanghai for a comprehensive inspection. He himself brought a lawyer and prepared two sets of documents.

One set is a document that Dahua Industrial violated the contract and ordered to be amended. One set of documents is for Dahua Industrial to abide by the contract and receive the ship normally -- but Mr. Li Jiawen, the ship's manager, really didn't take it seriously.

If you make a boat in 200 days, there will definitely be problems.

With this in mind, Li Jiawen will bring ten times the normal situation of the engineer. And the instruments they carry, such as flaw detectors, also exceed the needs of normal inspection equipment, and there is obviously an element of distrust.

When Sioux City heard the report, he acquiesced to their actions.

If you want to win the trust of the giant ship that was completed in 6 months, you can only accept more harsh scrutiny. In this regard, Dahua Heavy Industry is psychologically prepared.

If the inspection passes, this is the best publicity, and it will also reduce the inspection of subsequent ships. In fact, in order to ensure that the inspection passes, Dahua Group has already done a round of self-inspection. On the main projects, all of them have good results.

Li Jiawen was also not polite, and with Su Cheng's consent, he immediately got on the boat to check, and then never came down.

Engineers from the Singapore Marine Transport Company, including Chinese, Europeans and Latin Americans, all worked around the clock to inspect the vessels.

Because there is a limit to the time for receiving the ship, Li Jiawen does not want to miss an inch of steel plate.

The 10,000-ton handysize freighter, 6 meters long and 25 meters wide, means that the area of the first floor is 50 square meters, and although the six decks are of different sizes, plus the internal area of each cabin, "not missing an inch of steel plate" is actually impossible to do.

Even in the way of random inspection, the 60 engineers who were tired couldn't stand upright.

However, what really makes Li Jiawen unacceptable is that the freighter is qualified for inspection, and the excellent rate exceeds that of ordinary ships.

"What are you kidding!" Li Jiawen said again, and the engineer in front of him had similar expressions.

They were ready to admit that it was indeed possible to build a Handysize freighter in 200 days.

However, the quality of the Handysize far exceeded their expectations.

One of the advantages of the giant section shipbuilding method over the segment shipbuilding method is that the construction of the section can be finer than the section and requires fewer welds. While the difficulty has increased, so has the strength and quality of the boats.

If it is just an ordinary examination, it may not be able to detect the similarities and differences. However, Li Jiawen took an unconventional inspection.

As a result, the various indicators of the ships produced by the giant general section shipbuilding method have become prominent.

Li Jiawen didn't want to believe it, so he went to Dahua's shipyard twice, and after he came back, he became silent. 、

This is the natural emotion of an engineer when he sees revolutionary change.

What he was familiar with, what he once learned, and what he was good at suddenly changed.

In the future, as a ship project manager, what kind of criteria will he use to judge a new ship?

Moreover, Dahua's ships are also a little too appalling.

When the boss arrives, will he fall directly in the face?

Li Jiawen's thoughts were chaotic, and his eyes looked at the data box on the desktop blankly.

"Otherwise, the report would have been written as usual. Li Jiawen's deputy said understandingly: "Just report it according to the format, and don't say anything else." ”

"Then how do you explain 60 engineers and 2 nights of overtime? We only carried out routine inspections, and we sent so many people on a business trip, is it because we are here for tourism?" asked Li Jiawen.

The deputy said cautiously: "It's scary enough to finish it in advance, and then write those indicators on it, how impossible to think about it." ”

"Our job is to report as it is. Li Jiawen seemed to understand, stretched his brows, and said: "Dahua has indeed completed the construction of the ship, and the quality of the built ship greatly exceeds our requirements. ”

"In that case, doesn't it mean that Dahua Industrial has built a ship in 200 days that others may not be able to build in a year? And the quality level in all aspects has reached the standard of warships?" The standard he said was not the thickness of the armor, but purely the industrial index value.

Because it is Dahua's first ship, and there is a general section of shipbuilding law to share the pressure, under the requirements of the factory, the indicators of this ship do exceed that of ordinary civilian ships.

Li Jiawen said helplessly: "That's the case, you have the shipyard in Dahua, with their progress, do you think you can complete a ship within 200 days." ”

The deputy blushed and hesitated: "Look...... Be...... Yes. ”

"So, we don't report it, the managers of other shipyards, they will always report. Li Jiawen's mood is a little strange. As a ship engineer, he expects to see the miracle of completing a ship in 200 days, but as a ship project manager, he intuitively feels that 200 days of shipbuilding is an illusion.

In the dreary air, Li Jiawen finished his report, then called his deputy, asked him to return to Singapore with the papers, and said: "I will stay to receive the ship and do the last field inspection." Tell the company's men to come over. ”

The deputy said strangely: "You personally receive the ship, is it not necessary?" ”

"I wonder if there will be a problem with the performance of Dahua's ship after it is launched. If I have the chance, I'd like to book a boat from another shipowner. Li Jiawen's tone was stunned.

At this time, he regretted that he hadn't sent someone to follow up and inspect Dahua's shipbuilding process earlier. At that time, I only felt that the cost of business trips was high, the willingness of engineers was poor, and it was a 10,000-ton freighter, so I didn't send anyone out.

Who would have thought that they would encounter such a company.

In any case, as long as there are no problems with the ships delivered by Dahua Industrial, it will be fine.

Delivering the ship a few months earlier also allows the company to earn two more months in transportation costs.

Li Jiawen comforted himself from the bottom of his heart.

Raising his head, the deputy twisted and did not leave.

"What's wrong?" said Li Jiawenqi

"Actually, I want to stay too. The deputy smiled, a little embarrassed. What he said before, but he wanted to say that Dahua was in violation.

Li Jiawen smiled, thought about it, this is also a moment to witness history, and said: "Then stay, ask others, whoever wants to stay will stay." ”

The deputy went out in a hurry, and Li Jiawen sat on the desk and began to write the newspaper slowly

The day after the engineers from Singapore Marine completed all the inspection items.

On the platform of Dahua Shipbuilding, colorful flags are displayed.

Su Zhenguo arrived in the port again and came to the scene in person. After all, he and Su Dongyuan have different goals, as the current head of the Su family, he hopes to ensure the growth of three generations. In terms of this, if Su Cheng can be pulled back to the Su family, then the Su family's benefits in the next 50 years can be expected. And if Su Dongyuan can't go further, he can only protect the Su family for 0 years at most. With such considerations, no matter what Su Dongyuan's family thought, Su Zhenguo implemented it according to his own plan.

The arrival of Su Zhenguo made all the officials in the port present, plus Ding Zhipeng, who has always supported Dahua, Ding Zhipeng, who has always supported Dahua, Liu Minghao, who is suspended in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and others, the lineup on the scene has been extremely luxurious.

Sun Daofu, the boss of CSSC, and Rong Shangguo, the deputy minister, and others were present, and they could only accompany the last seat.

Dahua's suppliers are rejoicing, whether they are outside the queue or those who are lucky enough to appear on the rostrum, they will focus on groups of high-ranking officials.

is also an official, and the value of senior central officials in super-powerful departments such as the National Development and Reform Commission and the Planning Commission is a bully in the eyes of businessmen.

In contrast, non-territorial magistrates and unrelated department heads were less likely to fall into their eyes.

Sioux City also arranged for a few Dahua suppliers to be on the rostrum as much as possible, so that they could have a chance to get acquainted.

Those who can come to the stage are naturally grateful.

Under Zhang Chao's supply chain integration strategy, Dahua's suppliers are increasingly dependent on Dahua, and the concept of prosperity is becoming more and more deep.

Especially after the crisis of trust some time ago, the remaining suppliers have a closer relationship with Dahua, which is not to say that they only have one customer, but that Dahua is increasing in the proportion of their business.

Even if a factory has annual sales of 100 million yuan, as long as Dahua's orders exceed Chengcheng and profits exceed Chengcheng, then the supplier will hardly be able to leave Dahua's industrial system. Because the input of plants, equipment, and workers' labor is fixed, some equipment and plants are even specially designed for Dahua Industrial. If you leave the system of Dahua Industrial, not only will you not be able to recover these costs, but you will also have to bear continuous cost pressure.

They can't tear down the building, sell the equipment, and lay off the redundant workers...... Even if you are ruthless in doing so, a short gap can bankrupt a fragile factory.

On the other hand, many suppliers do not supply Dahua directly. Their main orders, perhaps, come from suppliers of Dahua Industries. The intricate relationship makes them more like an external factory of Dahua Industrial.

In fact, some Chinese who start their own businesses often choose such roles to start their own hard work.

Compared with Dahua's own factory, such a supplier is slightly less stable, but in terms of production capacity and quality, it is not inferior. Some entrepreneurs who work for themselves can burst out with enthusiasm that can put ordinary workers to shame.

Sioux City's support for suppliers can come out from the position of the ceremony.

However, except for the leaders of some large state-owned enterprises who are dissatisfied with the same position as the bosses of private enterprises, no one really cares about this.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ordinary black bulk carrier in front of them.

To the tune of the rousing athletes' march, the boat slowly glides into the water.

More than a dozen workers stood at the stern of the boat, waving excitedly in the face of the cheers below.

Although they are the old-fashioned names of the outstanding workers' representatives, there is no difference between the present and the past in the acquisition of a sense of honor.

Li Jiawen and others from Singapore looked at the new ship lightly touching the water, either enthusiastically, excitedly, excitedly, feverishly or adoringly.

Beside them are Rong Shangguo and other CSSC leaders.

The eyes of foreign engineers with yellow, white and black fell in the eyes of Rong Shangguo, and the tastes were mixed.

Through the eyes of these people, CSSC people seem to have suddenly woken up to how incredible it is to build a new ship of 10,000 tons in 6 months.

Miracles fall around, and it is always easy to be overlooked, and it is always easy to be taken for granted.

But a miracle is a miracle after all.

Its uniqueness, its characteristics that transcend its time, will eventually shine brightly.

For people in the shipping industry, such a beautiful ship in such a short period of time cannot be overstated.

"You have to take the opportunity and get your hands on this technology. Rong Shangguo clenched his fists, as if he was making up his mind.

"Smack"

"Bang bang".

The sound of the camera shutter is crisp and fluent.

Rong Shangguo glanced back and saw that it was a young reporter dressed in a very fashionable way.

Before he came back to his senses, the other party trotted over first, bowed deeply, and shouted: "Hello, I'm Shigekichi Shige, a reporter from Japan's "Asahi Shimbun", can I interview you?"

Foreign correspondents!

It is in Chinese. Quite skilled.

Rong Shangguo knows the Asahi Shimbun, a well-known leftist media in Japan, which is politically close to China and South Korea, and some time ago, he also won an award from the Chinese government.

I didn't expect to see this.

The Chinese in the past 9 years have not yet rejected the awareness of the media, not to mention, foreigners who can speak Chinese themselves are full of good feelings for the Chinese people. Rong Shangguo straightened his suit and asked with a smile, "What do you want to interview?"

"How do you feel about Dahua Industrial building a 10,000-ton ship in six months and in a record-setting way?" Kikuchi asked again, after all, he is a foreign journalist and does not particularly care about China's administrative rank.

Rong Shangguo listened to the word "impression", and his head also wandered.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered another ship.

The ocean-going ship "Dongfeng"!

The Dongfeng is the first 10,000-ton ocean-going cargo ship designed and built by China. Launched on April 5, 960.

Rong Shangguo will always remember that day.

The joy of that day, the singing and dancing of that day, the intense sweetness of that day.

That day was the most glorious day of Jiangnan Shipyard.

On that day, Rong Shangguo was 20 years old, and he was still a young man in the design department.

Because he has a secondary school degree, Rong Shangguo, who has just entered the factory, is qualified to participate in the design and production of ships. From 5 to 60 years, Rong Shangguo hardly rested.

But the joy in my heart is incomparable.

At that time, in the face of high-precision ocean-going freighters, China lacked equipment and technology, and even did not have a place to build large ships.

More than 00 technological innovations, that is, more than 00 levels, one by one, I don't know how many gray hairs have been boiled, and how many eyes have been boiled.

Stress, pain, doubt, anger, fear......

All kinds of thoughts are intertwined, and everyone is restless.

Everything was released on April 5th.

Rong Shangguo still remembers the attachment that he wanted to fly on the Dongfeng and never come down.

It's like the workers in front of you.

Rong Shangguo suddenly realized what a great thing Dahua had done!

Two revolutionary technologies, no matter how simple, have a myriad of problems to put them into practice.

Even if it is a paper ship, there is a lot of exquisiteness, not to mention the construction of a 10,000-ton giant ship.

At that time, the Jiangnan Shipyard, with the national science and technology development of the first year of the national planning key projects, borrowed the strength of the whole country, mobilized the financial resources and manpower of the whole system, and it took two years to break the record of China's shipbuilding industry and complete the leap from 1,000-ton ships to 10,000-ton ships.

Dahua Industrial, a private enterprise, has completed the unimaginable technological innovation of Chinese shipbuilding companies by virtue of its years of accumulation......

"They did a great thing!" Rong Shangguo couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

Kikuchi Shigege wrote this sentence down in his notebook carefully, and then read it again, feeling very imposing, and said happily: "Can I publish it in the same words? What ......is your position and name?"

Rong Shangguo's secretary, seeing that he had no objection, replied on his behalf: "This is Mr. Rong Shangguo, the general manager of Jiangnan Shipyard. ”

"The general manager of the Jiangnan Shipyard, oh, that's great!" Kikuchi Shigeki was amused.
