Chapter 0061 Inspecting the Shipyard
After leaving the Zhuyuan Seafood Hotel, the two did not return to the company, Di Lingjun proposed to let Zhao Weidong inspect Hong Kong Dayang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., Zhao Weidong is still looking forward to inspecting his newly acquired shipyard, what kind of situation is the shipbuilding enterprise in this era, he has not seen it at all, he is used to the advanced shipbuilding machinery and equipment of later generations, I don't know if he can get used to the current antique shipbuilding machinery and equipment, and the shipyard he acquired will meet his new boss with what kind of face, Zhao Weidong is looking forward to it.
Zhao Weidong finally stood at the gate of Hong Kong Dayang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., the first thing to greet him was the old-fashioned gate with a sense of history, but it was very tall and heavy, and it seemed that the founder was still ambitious and wanted to do a career, no wonder in Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, he could buy such a large piece of land in such a good place, and reserve a lot of development space for the development of the enterprise. It's just that the steel characters above the gate, "Hong Kong Dayang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.", have been dimmed by the erosion of time, and they are rusty, showing that this once glorious shipyard is in decline.
The two of them came to the office building of Hong Kong Dayang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., which is a nine-story office building, which was still very imposing in the early years, and it is already a very ordinary house in Hong Kong, where there are now high-rise buildings. They came to the general manager's office on the seventh floor, Zhao Weidong immediately scanned the entire office as soon as he arrived at the office, the whole office was clean and tidy, and the office items were placed in an orderly manner. As soon as Guo Guangxiang saw the new boss coming to inspect, he immediately greeted him warmly, and Di Lingjun introduced to Zhao Weidong:
"Chairman, this is Guo Guangxiang, the general manager of the original Hong Kong Dayang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Mr. Guo, this is Zhao Weidong, chairman of our Hong Kong Dayang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. ”
Zhao Weidong stretched out his hand, Guo Guangxiang hurriedly stepped forward and clasped Zhao Weidong's hand with both hands and said:
"Welcome the chairman to come to inspect and guide the work."
"You've worked hard." Zhao Weidong said with a smile.
"No, no, the chairman is hard."
Guo Guangxiang hurriedly said, it is true that he has been very idle in the past two or three years, so idle that people are about to get moldy, his business ability is very good, but unfortunately in the face of the economic depression, he is also powerless, now that the new boss is here, he must know that he has been idle for a few years, and he does not know how to treat himself, so he is very worried in his heart. He carefully said to Zhao Weidong:
"Chairman, we have cleaned up the original chairman's office and replaced the furniture, you go and see if you are not satisfied! We'll correct it again. ”
"Okay, let's take a look."
We came to the eight-story chairman's office, the best location, the best direction is, the eighth floor is all the office space of the board of directors, the chairman's office occupies one-third of the entire floor, go inside, although the studio is a little smaller, this is also the characteristics of the early office building design, the function is relatively complete, in addition to the office, there are attached conference rooms, reception rooms, secretary rooms, lounges, toilets and other facilities, see the chairman Zhao Weidong and Hongyuan Financial General Manager Di Lingjun into the chairman's office, Guo Guangxiang said:
"Chairman, I'll call all the company's senior executives, can you meet them?"
"Okay, you just notify the cadres above the middle level to come to the conference room, and we will get to know each other."
"Okay, chairman, you sit down, I'll arrange someone to notify you immediately."
"Mr. Guo, let's do it, you go and arrange a meeting, you ask your secretary to take us to each office to have a look, and the meeting will start in half an hour, what do you think?"
"Okay, I'll do it according to the chairman's arrangement." After saying that, he left the office to make arrangements.
Guo Guangxiang immediately called his female secretary over, and asked her to accompany the chairman to look around in the office building, Zhao Weidong and Di Lingjun under the leadership of the female secretary in the management office, the offices of various departments have been turned, to Zhao Weidong's overall feeling is that the company's various departments are still serious and rigorous, and the work attitude is correct, but everyone's mood is generally not high, and the company's prospects are bleak, of course, Zhao Weidong also found that the heads of some departments are not enthusiastic about their work, resulting in the work of the entire department is very negative. It took a total of twenty-six minutes to walk all the way, and the group began to return to the chairman's office. Soon Guo Guangxiang went to the chairman's office to invite the chairman to the conference room on the seventh floor, and when he arrived in the conference room, Guo Guangxiang said to everyone:
"Colleagues, please stand and let us welcome the arrival of the new chairman Zhao Weidong with warm applause."
Guo Guangxiang's words did not fall, everyone stood up together, warmly applauded to welcome the new chairman, everyone looked at the young chairman, in such a recession, there was such courage, bought the shipyard at a high price, everyone was full of expectations for the new boss, so the applause became more and more enthusiastic, Zhao Weidong walked to the seat in the middle of the standing, everyone saw that the chairman was ready to speak, the applause soon stopped, Zhao Weidong said:
"Thank you for your applause, please be seated."
After speaking, he took the lead and sat down, everyone also sat down, and after seeing that everyone was seated, Zhao Weidong continued:
"It's a pleasure to meet you today, we will be a family in the future, and there will be more opportunities to meet. Let's get to know each other first, then I'll take the lead to introduce myself, Mr. Guo won't introduce it, and the others will follow in the order of the company's ranking. Zhao Weidong stood up and said: "I am Zhao Weidong, the new chairman of the company, please take care of me in the future, thank you." ”
"Hello chairman, I am the company's executive vice president Shi Lecheng." "Hello chairman, I am Yao Guohai, vice president of production of the company. "Hello chairman, I am Gao Chengliang, the chief designer of the company. "Hello chairman, I am Zheng Mingfang, the company's chief financial officer. ”。
“……”
After listening to everyone's self-introduction, Zhao Weidong said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, and we will all be colleagues who will strive for a common cause in the future." I know that our shipyard is a shipyard with a glorious history, but at present it has encountered great difficulties, the company is unable to make ends meet, orders have been greatly reduced, the equipment is outdated, the financial difficulties are unable to update, and it is impossible to sustain it, it is estimated that if I do not acquire, the enterprise will go bankrupt in a few years, but I believe that you should see that the shipbuilding industry is a sunrise industry, as long as there is an ocean in the world, the shipbuilding industry will never decline.
There are countless shipyards all over the world, and every year some enterprises go bankrupt due to poor business management, and every year a new shipyard is opened, no matter how the economy is sluggish, the worst enterprises are always eliminated. Have you ever wondered why some companies are good and some are bad? Is it good or good, and what is bad about it? In my opinion, the root of the survival and development of an enterprise is people, a good enterprise is a good person, a poor enterprise is a poor person, and talent is the biggest determining factor.
Therefore, the fate of our company depends on all of you, I believe that due to the business recession, the company has been greatly harmed, but everyone here has also suffered from it, I think everyone's income has also been greatly reduced, the enterprise and employees are an organic whole, a prosperity, a loss, so the enterprise for the sake of employees is for the sake of the enterprise, employees for the sake of the enterprise is for the sake of the employees themselves.
I will analyze a problem with you, why our company can not get orders, while other companies can get orders, it is obvious that customers because the economic recession after the order decreased, they have a choice, the customer must have given the order to the shipyard with good shipbuilding quality, fast shipbuilding speed and cheap shipbuilding price, and the one who can't get the order must be an uncompetitive enterprise.
I understand that there is a group of excellent talents in our company with superb management, exquisite shipbuilding technology and proficient in various businesses, these talents will be the backbone of our enterprise development and growth, I look forward to your good performance, the company will provide a platform for each outstanding talent to realize the value of life, and will provide generous treatment for each outstanding talent. I decided to inject $1 billion in capital into our shipbuilding company to upgrade equipment, purchase new equipment, build supporting factories, repair factories and docks, and build a 200,000-ton and 300,000-ton dock. At the same time, I decided to raise the salary of all employees in the company by 5%. I am willing to work with all my colleagues here to build the world's largest shipyard, to build a shipyard with the best shipbuilding quality, the fastest shipbuilding speed and the cheapest price in the world, and to create a brilliant shipbuilding career that belongs to us and work together. ”
Zhao Weidong delivered his first impromptu speech with an infectious voice, and finally ended his passionate speech with a sonorous and powerful voice. Zhao Weidong's speech deeply infected everyone who participated in the meeting, aroused everyone's infinite hope for a better future, Zhao Weidong's voice just fell, the audience suddenly came to a burst of warm applause, everyone stood up and applauded at the same time, the chairman of the board of directors for the company put forward such a grand idea and has such courage to pay tribute, in the current economic downturn atmosphere, the courage to enter the shipbuilding industry, the courage to invest heavily in the development of enterprises, which is indeed not done by ordinary people. Zhao Weidong also stood up and applauded with everyone to express their encouragement, and everyone stopped applauding warmly at Zhao Weidong's signal. Zhao Weidong said:
"Today's meeting is here, Mr. Guo, Vice President Shi, Vice President Yao, Mr. Gao, and Mr. Zheng stayed to accompany me to each workshop to have a look. Others adjourned. ”
Zhao Weidong said that he stood up and went to the production workshop accompanied by Guo Guangxiang and other five people, they first came to the ship design center, Zhao Weidong did not expect that the current design center is so backward, there are oversized drawing tables everywhere, there are not many drawing machines, many places are piled up with drawings, unlike the design of later generations has been designed with computers. Chief designer Gao Chengliang introduced the basic situation of the ship design center, which has 62 designers, 2 deputy chief designers and 1 chief designer, with a maximum design tonnage of 100,000 tons.
Then everyone accompanied Zhao Weidong to the pretreatment process, in a large workshop, it looked very messy, the sanitary condition was also very poor, a lot of steel has been corroded, and some are more serious. Yao Guohai, vice president of production, said to Zhao Weidong:
"Chairman, the basic situation of this pretreatment process is that in the steel pretreatment process, there are relevant regulations on the plate, the degree of sand washing of the plate, and the paint thickness of the plate. The plate is required to be free of pittings and impurities; Steel shot, shot jetting treatment and roughness SA2 grade, roughness between 30-75mm. At the end of surface treatment, the cleanliness and roughness of the steel plate surface should be checked according to the coater's recommendations before applying the primer. Shop primer: Zinc silicate-based coatings or equivalent coatings without corrosion inhibitors. The compatibility of the shop primer with the main coating system should be confirmed by the paint manufacturer. The surface of the steel plate should be treated to remove burrs, grind the weld beads, remove welding spatter and any other surface contaminants so that the selected coating can be evenly applied, achieve the required NDFT and have sufficient adhesion. The pre-painting edges should be treated with a radius of at least 2mm, or sanded three times, or at least equivalent. ”
Yao Guohai's introduction is relatively professional, the following is to inspect the hull processing process, here is also relatively clean as a whole, most of the items are stacked in an orderly manner, some of them are scattered, and there are many materials that are not well kept. General Manager Guo Guangxiang took the initiative to introduce:
"Chairman, this process is the hull lofting, lofting is the first process of hull construction, must ensure high precision, usually lofting is carried out on the lofting table, the design line drawing according to 1:1 to draw a projection drawing, to smooth the hull line, make up for the defects of the drawing. Then there is the number of materials, the number of materials is after the lofting process, with the help of the model, sketch, etc., the unfolding drawing of the lofting part graphics is drawn on the steel plate, and marked with the symbol for processing and assembly angle. Then there is the hull component processing, according to the component processing method can be divided into edge supervision and forming processing, edge processing includes edge cutting and beveling, the shape can be divided into straight edge and curved edge, forming processing refers to the cooling or hot processing of the component in order to obtain the required shape. ”
In the hull assembly process, general manager Guo Guangxiang introduced the situation and said:
"Chairman, hull assembly refers to the process of combining hull components into the entire hull. The process flow mainly comprises: component assembly - after processing, various hull components are assembled into a component, segmented or general section assembly - different parts are assembled into sections or general sections, slipway assembly - a plurality of segments and general sections are assembled into a complete hull, in the assembly of the general section, two methods can be adopted: formal installation method - the bottom section is hoisted to the slipway, and then the gunwalby and bulkhead segments are assembled, and the deck segments are assembled again. Reverse installation method - the deck is assembled sequentially as the base post and tire frame, rib frame, bulkhead and side. ”
In the ship welding process, general manager Guo Guangxiang said:
"Chairman, please see that this process is the use of welding technology and the use of reasonable welding procedures, the assembled hull parts, segments, hull joints, according to the design requirements of the connection, so that the various components combined into a whole. Chairman, this is the pyrotechnic correction process, the hull will produce local or overall deformation when welding, pyrotechnic correction is the use of local heating deformation parts, so that the thermal expansion, cooling and contraction to correct the deformation. Some important components should be corrected after installation and before installation. ”
"Chairman, this is the situation of the tightness test process, after the completion of the entire hull structure, the tightness test should be carried out, and the hydrostatic test should also be carried out in special places to ensure the watertightness of the weld, especially the underwater part. It can be subdivided into kerosene test, watertight test and airtight test. ”
When it came to the outfitting process of the ship, Executive Vice President Shi Lecheng also took the initiative to introduce:
"Chairman, this process is ship outfitting including various equipment and piping installation, cabin equipment installation, room decoration, etc. It is a rather complex task, requiring a large investment of professional manpower, and the production needs to be properly organized and arranged in order to minimize the shipbuilding cycle. In the ship painting process, in order to prevent steel corrosion and prolong the service life, the steel and hull are rusted and painted, in addition to anti-corrosion, there are also exterior decoration and anti-fouling effects on the bottom of the ship. Chairman, please see, the front is the ship launching process, although the ship is a water structure, but it is built on land, must be moved from the slipway or dock to the water, launching in a variety of ways, mainly including gravity launching, floating launching and mechanical launching. ”
Executive Vice President Shi Lecheng continued:
"Chairman, what I am looking at is the ship test process, including mooring test, tilt test and navigation test. The main purpose of the mooring test is to check the integrity and reliability of the ship, and the mooring test is a preparatory stage before the navigation test. The tilt test is the determination of the position of the center of gravity of the finished ship and is required to be carried out in a still water area. A navigation test is a comprehensive and comprehensive assessment of the ship to determine whether the design requirements are met. The last process is the delivery and acceptance, because there is no ship to enter the delivery process, can not ask you to inspect, I will make a brief introduction, when the ship test is over, the shipyard should be in accordance with the drawings, instructions and technical documents of the project, to the ship-using unit for inspection, when the above work is over, you can sign the ship acceptance documents, and issued a certificate of conformity by the ship survey department, the ship-using unit can arrange the ship to participate in the operation. ”
After more than three hours of detailed inspection, Zhao Weidong is only watching, only listening and not speaking, from the introduction of each person to understand each person's character, if you put forward opinions, immediately let them know that the boss is a very expert boss, so that they can not let go in the introduction, talk less, like this they do not express their opinions, let them speak freely, in order to deepen the understanding of the business capabilities of the senior management of the enterprise, and the basic problems existing in the enterprise, they are also very clear, and the relevant plans will be more targeted in the future.
Due to the late hour, at the warm invitation of Guo Guangxiang and the company's senior management, Zhao Weidong and Di Lingjun had a meal together in the company's internal canteen, and the whole atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
