The number of shipyards participating in the bidding has increased from an estimated dozen to 32.

This number is also likely to increase with red-eye flights in the evening. China Shipbuilding Group and its subordinate Jiangnan Shipyard have not gone abroad to bid, but they have never encountered so many competitors. Bi Jing, it is only in recent years that China Shipbuilding is still adapting to the development of the world's shipbuilding industry.

Rong Shangguo took off his high-shoulder suit, threw it on the bed in the hotel, and quickly placed the bidding manual sent by the Singapore Shipping Group on the table in the next suite, staring at the traditional characters inside.

"Shipowners have also increased. Taiwan's Evergreen Group has joined the shipowner sequence, you know?" Rong Shangguo looked up at Sioux City. Evergreen Group and Dahua Group have a very close relationship, and most of the crude oil produced by Dahua's Setan oil field and the UAE gas underwritten by Dahua are shipped around the world through Evergreen Group. South Korea's Hyundai Group is willing to sign a contract to transfer LNG technology, which is also due to the fact that Evergreen Group has ordered ships from them.

Su Cheng just nodded slightly, and said, "The Evergreen Group buys several big ships every year, and it is not surprising that the joint bidding. ”

"Can Chairman Su pass the ...... of Evergreen Group?"

"I can't ask Evergreen to harm my own interests. Su Cheng didn't wait for Rong Shangguo to finish speaking, and then interrupted him.

Rong Shangguo sighed and said, "The bidding method is a secret bid, and it starts in the morning, so I don't think we should sleep." Let's negotiate a number. ”

"Hmm......" Su Cheng also opened the bidding book and looked at it for a while, and said: "Look at this, we divide the shipowners into two categories, one is more concerned about the price, and the other is more concerned about the completion time......

"Good idea. Rong Shangguo immediately started.

The subordinates of the two into the two were also busy starting to classify and search for information. The tendencies of some shipowners are very clear in the bidding prospectus, but the tendencies of others are judged according to the circumstances of their company.

Rong Shangguo brought 4 office staff, tidying up the room and understanding the meaning of the good hand is a good hand, and it is really blind when it comes to analyzing the data. Especially the information of the world's shipping companies, they are simply blind. Except for one of them, the remaining three can't even read the names of all the companies in the materials.

After copying the list on the bidding manual, the four members of the CSSC did not know what to do.

I only listened to the two people from the Information Bureau, who flipped through the books there and kept calling back to China to verify the situation...... As soon as 6 people entered, it could be seen that Rong Shangguo's face was red.

But to be honest, those shipowners who did not state their intentions in the bidding prospectus, Rong Shangguo did not know how to judge what they wanted.

When they are in China, they can also ask, now that they are abroad, do they call them?

Entering the house doesn't have to tell the truth. At the negotiating table, it's not just guessing, let alone bidding.

Of course, when in China, CSSC does not need to make compromises. Most companies want ships, they can only order them from CSSC, and the specifications of civil ships are determined, and the prices are also determined, so there is no room for negotiation.

As for bidding? That's a joke.

Unless state-owned enterprises are about to starve to death, they all have noble feelings of not bending their waists for five buckets of rice. The dignified and ministerial-level China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, even if it is not called the Sixth Machinery Department, will not participate in the bidding activities of domestic manufacturers.

Do you love it or not?

However, times are different. The orders obtained by CSSC this year are insufficient, and the profits from the orders accumulated in previous years are not high.

At this time, five buckets of rice can't be spared. Not to mention the five buckets of rice from foreign countries.

Rong Shangguo just didn't expect that as soon as he stepped out of the country, his subordinates would become so useless.

In the red and white face, the two entries of the Dahua Information Bureau quickly turned one list into two lists. This is the job they are most familiar with, getting information, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions...... The work of Dahua's strategy department is usually dozens or hundreds of times more complicated than this.

The demand for a total of 32 ships from 11 shipowners is too simple to divide into two parts.

Among the finished products seen by Su Cheng and Rong Shangguo, there are 25 ships with 8 shipowners who care about time, and the remaining 7 ships that care more about price belong to 6 shipowners.

Rong Shangguo found the problem and immediately said: "There are a total of 11 shipowners, there are duplicates?"

"This is what we judge based on the tonnage and model of the ship. Dong Feng of the Information Bureau has high eyebrows, is a strong and confident man, he said slowly: "After 92 years of depression, the world shipping industry is recovering strongly, especially in the bulk carrier market, because of the strong demand for grains, as well as the increase in imports of steel and forestry products, so that the rent of bulk carriers, especially handy-sized bulk carriers, has increased by 25% to 30%, so there will be a centralized order meeting today." No matter what kind of shipowner will not let go of the benefit of rent increase, so we have divided all orders for 20,000 to 50,000 dwt handysize bulk carriers into a time-dependent range, and it is expected that they can withstand a price increase of more than 10%...... Oil tankers and container ships do not have the impetus for the rise in rents for the time being, and the number of these shipowners is also relatively high. ”

Rong Shangguo was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You know the ship very well." ”

"Temporary research. Dong Feng was a little modest and said, "We are just analyzing the information. The price fluctuations in the shipping and shipbuilding industries are mainly determined by supply and demand, and from the current data, the global orders for handysize vessels have increased by 100%, and the increase in rents will only last for about one year. ”

"How can a year be enough to recover the cost?" Rong Shangguo's secretary seized the opportunity to speak, brushing his sense of existence.

Dong Feng said with a smile: "One year is indeed not enough time to recover the cost, but the shipowner originally planned to recover the cost in 8 years, and now it can be used in 7 and a half years. It's all about ordering anyway, and it doesn't matter at all in advance. No matter what, after a year, even if the rent falls, there will be a normal profit. Moreover, the 25% rent we are talking about is in the millions. ”

Rong Shangguo agreed: "Foreign countries are actually quite patient, and the trickle is long. ”

Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Then follow this list?"

"Let's go with this list. Rong Shangguo said and relaxed, and said with a smile: "In terms of time, let's determine 10 and a half months? We reserve half a month's time, which should be able to guarantee completion." ”

Just when Rong Shangguo felt that there was almost no controversy, Dong Feng's eyebrows twitched, and he said, "In 10 and a half months, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the order." ”

"Huh?"

"From what we've got, Hyundai Heavy Industries can easily push the time to less than 10 months, so I think they will choose a delivery time between 9 months and 10 months. ”

Rong Shangguo's face was uncertain, and he said: "South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries family, can they eat more than 30 ships?"

"Hyundai Heavy Industries has just expanded its factory, and there are not many orders in hand, so if you let them eat, 10 ships will definitely be fine. This time, there were also Japanese shipyards and European shipyards, and they had to take at least a few big ships. In addition, Samsung Heavy Industries and STX both have the ability to pick up orders, and they are in a state of technology sharing...... "Dong Feng's speech speed is a little fast, but he says it very clearly.

Lack of information is a bit lacking in confidence. Rong Shangguo was not happy or unhappy, but still asked: "Then with your thoughts, we are also going to set the time for 10 months?"

"Nine and a half months is preferably safe. ”

Hearing him say this, Rong Shangguo changed his expression and asked, "Can Dahua complete the manufacture of a 50,000-ton ship in nine and a half months?"

"Barely able to do it. This time, it was Sioux City who answered.

With the increase of skilled workers in Dahua Shipbuilding, the production capacity of Dahua Shipbuilding has increased by leaps and bounds. This is not only the productivity improvement brought about by the increase in the level of work, but more importantly, it can be exchanged with Dahua Shipbuilding's offshore drilling platform.

Dahua Shipbuilding has been doing offshore drilling platforms for 4 years, and the employment is very stable, almost most of the workers have more than 5 years of experience, according to international standards, these workers can be regarded as skilled workers.

The production task of the Dahua offshore drilling platform is also very tight, and the profit is quite high, and the direct transfer of workers will cause too much loss. However, if Dahua Shipbuilding has been trained for one or two years, and some senior technicians and skilled workers are replaced, it can improve the speed of the shipbuilding department without slowing down the offshore drilling platform department.

This practice was actually often used by state-owned enterprises in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At that time, Shanghai and Northeast China were the manufacturing centers of China, and the factories in Shanghai and Northeast China were almost not affected if the number of inflows did not exceed 30%, but the factories in other places were able to develop rapidly.

At that time, the Ministry of Petroleum, the Sixth Machinery Department, and the Ordnance Department set up factories all over the country, and they all used this method.

Rong Shangguo obviously did not expect Dahua to complete the construction of a ship in nine and a half months. He silently calculated and said, "If it is 9 and a half months, Jiangnan Shipyard can only contract one ship at most." Moreover, the profit is not high, in this case, it is not in line with the original intention of our white spoon. ”

"With the sectional shipbuilding method, it is still possible to complete it a month in advance. "Sioux City is already preparing to spread the sectional shipbuilding method to the Chinese shipbuilding. The purpose of his purchase of the sectional shipbuilding method from Japan was to integrate the jumbo section shipbuilding method on this basis, which was a more advanced shipbuilding method in comparison, and the peaceful shipbuilding method was a golden combination. Taking advantage of the time difference, using the segmented shipbuilding method to start with a little bit will have more benefits for Dahua.

Moreover, CSSC Bijing is a national enterprise, and improving its productivity will always allow the state to spend a little less subsidy.

Rong Shangguo said uncertainly: "We haven't started to learn the sectional shipbuilding method yet, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"After the equipment arrives, the process will not be too difficult, and Dahua will only master it. ”

Rong Shangguo looked at the dazzling default amount on the bidding manual, and it was still difficult to decide, and finally said: "Jiangnan Shipyard is ready to bid for 5 ships, 1 will take 9 and a half months to bid, and 4 ships will take 10 months to bid. The rest ...... Each according to his ability. ”

"It's fine. "The transaction amount of the five ships will exceed 700 million yuan, which is more than enough as a cooperation project in terms of the qualifications of both parties.

Dong Feng of the Information Bureau had already pinched his fingers and began to calculate the bottom line of Dahua's own bidding.
