Yan Xuecan walked quickly to the double-storey attic of Dahua Headquarters on the island in the middle of the lake.

The living water from the Huangpu River spreads out an area of more than 200 acres here, backed by a green hill dozens of meters high, just like an urban landscape painting.

The antique arch bridge, starting from one side of the office area, spans two islands in the middle of the lake, one large and one small. The large one is a place for Dahua employees to relax and entertain, and the small one is mostly used to entertain guests, and it is also a place for Dahua senior executives to hold meetings.

Yesterday, Yan Xuecan heard that the chairman and COSCO Shipping had a very unsmooth discussion. At that time, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just some conditions that could not be negotiated, and for a project of hundreds of millions of dollars, it was not a big deal to talk about it for a few more days.

However, a document this morning made Yan Xuecan unable to sit still.

Dahua Industrial handed over the official document of labor cooperation to COSCO Shipping. Surprisingly, COSCO Shipping replied with an official letter and formally rejected Dahua Industrial's request.

With Yan Xuecan's understanding of state-owned enterprises, this means that COSCO Shipping has completely closed the door to labor cooperation with Dahua Industrial.

The relationship between COSCO Shipping and Dahua Industrial is so good, both of them rejected Dahua Industrial, and the attitude of other shipyards can be imagined.

Domestically, there are only a few large state-owned shipyards in China that have experience in building cargo ships of more than 10,000 tons. The small bosses of the shipyard who once cooperated with Dahua Transportation Company have made a three-to-five-thousand-ton steamer to the sky, and what an LNG ship is, I am afraid that they have never heard of it.

As the initiator of the LNG ship, Yan Xuecan had a complicated mood when he saw the official letter.

Faintly, he has such an expectation: he is the only executive in the Dahua Department who has been promoted from Dahua Shipbuilding, and it can be said that he is the most familiar with the ship. If Dahua Shipbuilding expands into a multi-billion-dollar LNG shipyard, its value and status will naturally become more prominent.

Therefore, when he heard that he was going to hold a meeting on the island in the middle of the lake, Yan Xuecan ran away.

Drilling into the second-story attic shaded by green trees, Yan Xuecan felt that it was still early, and snapped. He pushed the door downstairs open.

A cool breeze came through the hall.

Inside the room, two rows of people looked at him strangely.

Yan Xuecan squinted his eyes, only to find that Su Cheng, Huo Chang, Li Lianxiang and Qin Shiwei of Dahua Laboratory, Zhong Zhigen and Zhang Chao of the Strategic Business Department, and Gu Haijian of the Institute of Oceanography were inside, and he was immediately startled.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Zhigen's position within Dahua is transcendent. As soon as he spoke, it relieved Yan Xuecan's nervousness.

"I got the call for a meeting, but I didn't expect to be late. Yan Xuecan faced Su Cheng and didn't dare to gag.

"The formal meeting was upstairs and we were early. Qin Shiwei had a good impression of Yan Xuecan, and softly helped him out of the siege.

"Sit down. Su Cheng beckoned and said, "There are still 30 minutes left in the departure meeting, and we are discussing the issue of Dahua Shipbuilding, just so you are familiar with the situation." Listen to it first. ”

Huo Chang waited for Su Cheng to finish speaking, and then said with a black face: "Don't be so reckless next time." In particular, the conference hall on the island in the middle of the lake is strictly chaotic, I see. We're going to have some security measures here in the future. ”

Yan Xuecan was disgraced and didn't dare to talk nonsense. In the company, Huo Chang's qualifications are old and his status is high, and he positions himself as a pure assistant officer, usually not directly involved in the company's business decisions, but he has a very tight grasp of the company's internal discipline and other matters. Employees have a natural fear when they see him.

At Sioux City's signal, the meeting reopened.

Yan Xuecan listened for a while, and knew that he was discussing how to buy technology from South Korea. An LNG ship is ultimately a freighter. It is better than a battleship in that it can be copied in large quantities with previous blueprints, and it will not be like a battleship, which has to consider a lot of personalization needs...... Similarly, the technology of shipbuilding, although difficult, is not mysterious.

Su Cheng also knew something, so he dared to make a decision to make an LNG ship.

Historically, the French Atlantic shipyard once came to China around 95 years to promote LNG ships, hoping to sell the whole set of technology to China. There was a heated discussion within the CSF. At that time, China, which had not yet used natural gas on a large scale, had a difficult choice about whether it needed to build its own LNG ships, and the view that it was better to buy than to buy and rent was once prevalent, and as a result, the excellent opportunity of the 90s was missed.

Facts have proved that self-built LNG ships not only save money, but also can drive a whole industrial chain. From an afterthought's point of view, at least it is much more reliable than things like self-developed cars.

From the worst point of view, in a country that does not have LNG ships, the safety of natural gas is not guaranteed at all. If a foreign country wants to blockade, as long as the owner of every LNG ship is urged not to lease the ship to China, the domestic gas market will be in chaos. The most terrifying thing is not that this kind of thing actually happens, but that the other party threatens to happen......

Oil tankers and LNG ships are nuclear and hydrogen bombs in the energy sector. Owning them does not necessarily lead to great benefits, but without them, there is a risk of suffering huge losses and unfair treatment.

Countries that suffered nuclear blackmail during the Cold War, and China, which suffered from nuclear blackmail before the Cold War, have all experienced this feeling.

No matter how strong the conservatives within CSSC are, they can't go against the trend. Especially when the value of natural gas is revealed, it is only natural that LNG ships will be launched.

Unfortunately, due to the delay of two years, the three sets of LNG ship technology has formed a patent barrier, South Korea, which started six years ahead of schedule, got into the circle, and China lagged behind, and was dragged farther and farther away, until more than 10 years later, it returned to the strategic position in 1995.

Sioux City is not like the leader of CSSC, and his confidence in natural gas is undeniably strong. Therefore, once you decide to do LNG ships, you must rush to enter the professional barriers before the three major systems of LNG ships are formed, and according to the internationally accepted rules, as long as Dahua Shipbuilding can have some patents that the other party cannot bypass, you can obtain all the production authorizations through patent exchange.

At that time, the later shipyards will have to pay these patented shipyards, and if I increase or decrease, there will be a big difference in competitiveness.

South Korean companies have used this method to get rid of China for at least 15 years. On closer examination, the two sides used to stand on the same starting line.

Su Cheng listened carefully to Li Lianxiang's explanation of the technical node that Dahua was about to enter.

For such a huge system as LNG carriers, it is unrealistic and unnecessary to develop them independently. Because the relevant patents in many countries are only 10 to 20 years old, a company has just formed a monopoly, and the patent may expire. Therefore, it is much more useful to form a steady wave of patents than to strictly guard against patent embankments.

The patent barriers formed by several companies are also safer than the patent barriers of one company, and they are more able to avoid the various rules and regulations of the anti-monopoly law.

This kind of technical discussion is the Institute's favorite. Li Lianxiang talked endlessly, and he hardly had to read the book in his hand.

Yan Xuecan scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, thinking: If we don't have workers, what's the use of being skilled?

Dahua Petrochemical has a large number of foreign skilled workers. This is determined by the particularity of the large vinyl equipment. But shipyards also employ thousands of man-hours. It is normal to use 20,000 man-hours to build an LNG ship, but if you choose foreign workers, you will be swallowed up by 20% of the profits.

It was easy to wait for Li Lianxiang to finish speaking, and Yan Xuecan took the lead and said: "COSCO Shipping rejected our request for labor cooperation and returned the official letter of legal amount, have you seen it?"

Su Cheng looked at Zhong Zhigen and smiled, "We saw it." With an official letter, I asked He Han for it. ”

Yan Xuecan was stunned: "Why?"

"COSCO Shipping is subject to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Their appetite is too great, so not only COSCO Shipping, but also the subordinate units of COSCO Group and China Shipbuilding Group are almost out of play. I asked them to issue an official letter, so that no one would reverse black and white in the future. ”

Yan Xuecan's eyes widened, the subordinate units of Sino-Ocean Group and China Shipbuilding Group are not available, so where are there shipbuilders in China?

When he was desperately recalling, Yang Ming knocked on the door and came in. I only heard him whisper: "Dalian Ocean Shipping Group Company also refused." ”

"Official letter?"

"Official letter. ”

Sioux City nodded in satisfaction.

Yan Xuecan couldn't understand, so he couldn't help asking, "What should we do?"

"What to do?"

"Workers. Do you want to cultivate yourself?" Yan Xuecan said, calculated by himself, and said: "If you want to train a qualified worker, if you use the teaching method, you will be considered a teacher in about 6 months, and it is estimated that it is okay to cooperate with our old workers to make the hull." But...... I know that Japanese and French shipyards do this kind of business, and after 3 to 8 months of training, you can get a relatively advanced welder certificate, but the cost is a little higher......

Su Cheng listened to his ramblings, smiled and waved his hand, and said, "If you don't do labor cooperation, it's not that you can't find workers." There is no butcher, only pigs with hair?"

Yan Xuecan is a person who has done his homework, and when he heard it, he was anxious, and said, "Su Dong, you don't want to poach people, right? That's not good, just one or two." We need at least a few hundred workers, and if we dig it down with a shovel, the CSSC will definitely be annoyed. ”

"Huh?"

Yan Xuecan saw that Su Cheng was listening, and hurriedly said: "The workers of several major shipyards are all state workers, if you really want to dig people, if you don't put the files in the ship, we will be blind." In case, CSSC issues an administrative order, how can we fix it. ”

Su Cheng looked at Zhong Zhigen again, smiled, and said, "What you said, Lao Zhong has thought about it." ”

"Considered it?"

Zhong Zhigen nodded and smiled: "We have come up with a solution, and the official letter is part of this method. ”

Yan Xuecan is a smart person, and asked hesitantly: "Show the enemy to be weak?"

This is what it means, to be precise, to stand on the moral high ground. Zhong Zhigen paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Look at it, the reaction of CSSC will not be faster than that of PetroChina." ”
