The shipowner's representative stationed in the shipyard of Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Corporation has become extremely strict in the inspection standards, and the various requirements put forward have also become very demanding. Taking the liquefaction tank of a chemical carrier as an example, the same group of workers and the same operation could pass the standard in a week after a maximum of three inspections and a week when the two previous ships were built, but now it took more than 70 days and more than 10 inspections to be reluctantly recognized by the shipowner's representatives. In addition, in many inspection items, the shipowner's representatives often put forward some excessive reasons to postpone the inspection, and asked the Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group to go to the United States to buy things that could be purchased in China.

Since shipbuilding is divided into five links and a number of small projects, including sectional construction, slipway closing, launching, commissioning and sea trial, and ship delivery, any of these small projects cannot continue to the next manufacturing link if they are not inspected by the shipowner's representatives, which greatly delays the construction progress of the shipyard!

And now, things have developed to the point that the two chemical carriers built by Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd. have all completed the projects that need to be inspected according to the specifications, passed the sea trials, and the surveyors of the neutral and authoritative testing agency France Classification Society have also confirmed that the two chemical carriers have passed the acceptance and have met the delivery conditions, but the shipowner's representative has been reluctant to sign to receive the ship!

The Belgian shipping company did not accept the ship, and the shipyard could only let the two ships moored in the port, which not only occupied the limited berths of the shipyard, but also made it impossible for other ships to be repaired to be repaired, and the ships under construction could not be put on the stage to close the dragon. Every time a 10,000-dwt bulk carrier under construction is delayed in the slipway, it will increase the cost of thousands of yuan in customs fees, loan interest, exchange rate settlement, equipment use, etc., and the impact on the progress of other ships under construction has brought many unnecessary losses to Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company.

The behavior of the representative of the owner of the Belgian shipping company was later analyzed by the East China Sea Shipbuilding Industry Group Company that it was deliberately making things difficult for the shipyard, and its purpose was to make the shipyard unable to deliver the ship at the time agreed in the contract - now that the global shipping industry is at a low ebb, once the shipping company receives the ship and cannot find enough business, it will incur a lot of expenses such as berths, fuel, personnel salaries, insurance, etc., rather than let the ship stall in the waiting stage, so as to pass on these losses to the shipyard.

"Governor, look at it, the Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company has made the biggest concession and offered to bear twice the cost of postponing the delivery of ships in the past few days, totaling more than 436,000 Chinese dollars, and the Belgian foreign devils have actually put forward a request that the Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company reduce the price of each ship by $1.5 million on the basis of the 10 percent price that has already been reduced!" Wei Haohong said indignantly, "This is simply blackmail!" "With such a deduction, the last four chemical carriers built by Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company have basically lost profits, and there will even be a loss of almost more than three million US dollars! The loss of more than 3 million US dollars is not a small amount for the Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company, which is already in trouble! What's more, the Belgian shipping company's actions, if successful, are likely to trigger a chain reaction. If other shipping companies follow the gourd, then Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company may suffer huge losses this year!

"Didn't you say last time that Donghai Shipbuilding Corporation was considering handling this matter through arbitration?" Shangguan Yi also raised his eyebrows, and was very dissatisfied in his heart, Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company is a provincial state-owned enterprise in Donghai Province, and it is a star enterprise in the past few years, if there is a huge loss, the negative impact on Donghai Province is no less than the bankruptcy of Rongsheng Heavy Industry Group Company.

Wei Haohong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "International arbitration will not only cost a huge amount of money, but also the time will be very small, what Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company needs now is to ask them to receive the ship as soon as possible, otherwise, the subsequent ship construction will have to be postponed." Although the shipping industry is sluggish today, not all customers want their new ships to be delayed. Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group originally planned that after the two ships were taken over, they would be handed over to the two ships built by the German company, and the other party was very concerned about whether the Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company could deliver the ships on time. The temper of the Germans ...... Hey. ”

Shangguan Yi stroked his forehead with a little headache and smiled bitterly, Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company was caught in the middle, and the embarrassment of being in a dilemma could be imagined.

Wei Haohong said: "Governor, this matter is very tricky to deal with, if you want to go through normal channels, not only will it take a lot of time and time, but the final result, even if Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company wins the lawsuit, it is actually a defeat." ”

Shangguan Yi nodded, this conclusion was not unexpected to him. "What do you mean by that old danger......"

"Of course, it is necessary to solve the problem outside the market and let the Belgian shipping company take over the ship as soon as possible to ensure the normal operation of the Donghai Shipbuilding Industry Group Company." Wei Haohong said, "Can you ask Guo's Shipping Group Company to think of a way?" The position of Kwok's Shipping Group in the global shipping industry has a great influence on this kind of matter. And I've heard that Fang Shao also has a lot of influence in the European business community, and if they can help us, it will be faster and more effective than going through any arbitration. ”

Shangguan Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, then I'll give Fang Shao a call with this old face." Originally, he wanted to let Zhou Ning, chairman of Nanjing Iron and Steel Group Company, make this call, but after thinking about it, this was also an opportunity for him and Fang Mingyuan to further strengthen their contact.

Although it is said that Su Huandong has retired, after all, the time is still short, and the influence of the Su family in China is still there. Moreover, although it is said that once the son of heaven is a courtier, it does not mean that the Soviet system will decline rapidly. Although Su Aijun said that he is still only the leader of a province, the strong economic development of Qinxi Province over the years, as well as its position in the domestic economy have become more and more important, but everyone sees that although it may not be able to reach the height of Su Huandong in the future, it is very possible to become one of the nine.

Shangguan Yi himself doesn't care about what kind of height Su Aijun will go to in the future, but he also has to think about his descendants. Moreover, as the economic crisis continues to rage around the world, the importance of investment is self-evident if the economy of Tokai Province wants to maintain a certain growth rate. The investment projects of the Fang family are now the objects that all provinces in the country are actively chasing, not only because the projects invested by the Fang family are often billions or even tens of billions of yuan of large projects, which can play a strong role in stimulating the local economy and solve the employment of a large number of working people, nor because the large projects invested by the Fang family rarely fail, but the investment of the Fang family, often plays a role in guiding the direction, and the result is often that as soon as the investment project of the Fang family lands, it will be followed by several times the investment funds of the landing.

Shangguan Yi naturally has the idea of continuing to move upward, and there is a successful precedent of cooperation with Jiangning Automobile Group Company, if it is said that Fangjia Capital can be successfully introduced into Rongsheng Heavy Industry Group Company in the future, then the prospect of cooperation between the two sides is still worth looking forward to. Shangguan Yi didn't expect to be able to reach the level of Qinxi Province and Qingshan Province, but if he could reach the level of Liao Province and Yanxing Province, he didn't know how much worry he would have to save.

The sun was shining in Kobe on January 11. Fang Mingyuan received Park Chouhou, the president of Samsung Heavy Industries from South Korea, in the villa.

"Fang Shao, this is the general situation of Samsung Heavy Industries." Pu Humhou stood up, handed a briefcase to Fang Mingyuan with both hands, "This is a more detailed report. ”

Fang Mingyuan took it, put it aside casually and said, "President Park worked hard last year!" ”

"This is what I should do for the company." Pu Chuhou hurriedly replied, sitting on the sofa with a straight body. As a senior manager of Samsung Group Company, of course he knows that although the person in front of him is not responsible for the daily management and operation of the group company, he is the major shareholder of the company.

Samsung Heavy Industries' performance last year was still a significant decline compared to before 2008, but compared with its peers in South Korea and around the world, this performance is still very good. Moreover, the total profit of Samsung Heavy Industries Company has not declined significantly, which is why he was still able to straighten his waist in front of Fang Mingyuan. However, he still didn't understand why Fang Mingyuan, who had never interfered much in the daily affairs of Samsung Group Company, suddenly asked him to come to Japan to report to him?

"President Park, what do you think about the prospects for the development of the shipbuilding industry in the next few years?" Fang Mingyuan asked with a smile. He is not very familiar with this Pu Clumsy Hou, but Li Jianxi and Li Xintong have a very high evaluation of him. So he also wanted to hear what he had to say.

Pu Zhuohou pondered for a moment, and then said: "Fang Shao, I personally believe that the global shipbuilding industry in the next few years is likely to still be at the trough of the development cycle. Before 2008, the shipbuilding industry in China was developing too rapidly, and the pace of capacity expansion was too large. The economic crisis has slowed down the global economic development, and the demand for the growth of shipping industry capacity has become smaller, and even there has been a phenomenon of excess capacity. Excess capacity has not only caused a sharp decline in freight rates, but also greatly reduced the demand for global shipping companies to replace new ships and expand their fleets. So I think there will be a big reshuffle in the global shipbuilding industry in the next few years. ”
