Most of the equipment related to the dockyard, slipway and outfitting dock is still buried in the mud. If the rust is not cleaned up in time, then as the old engineer Wu Huabin said, the only bit of possessions that the shipyard has will disappear.

The idle meal is almost gone, and the steel structure company is about to be established, Tian Wenjian does not dare to continue to delay time. Starting from the morning of the sixth day, all cadres and workers of the whole plant were called on to participate in labor, and it was planned to restore the work area to the state before the flood within half a month.

Docks, slipways and outfitting docks are the foundation of the shipyard, and his call has received a warm response from the workers, not only did the workers who did not leave all come, but also the old cadres and workers such as the old secretary of Lianle and the chief engineer Wu, as well as some temporary workers whose homes are not far from here, are all sweating and working in full swing.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

The scale of the shipyard is not very large, and the efficiency is also very bad, but the machinery and equipment that the shipyard should have, Longjiang Shipyard has a lot. There are four tower cranes of 10-20 tons, lined up along the four slipways, which looks so spectacular.

Although the 8,000-ton dock is full of silt and the gantry crane across it has also collapsed, the upper part of the clean-up is still in good condition. As long as the dock door and pump room are repaired, and then the gantry crane is erected, it can be put into use immediately.

"The Jianglong was built in this dock, and a total of eight ships were built before and after, and the efficiency of our factory was good at that time."

When the old secretary saw Tian Wenjian standing by the dock in a daze, he raised his crutches and pointed to the two passenger ships moored at the dock of Changhang Company on the right, and introduced them with embarrassment.

Tian Wenjian hurriedly turned around, and while helping him to walk in the direction of the outfitting dock, he said with emotion: "I am a child from the mountains, and I only saw the mountains before the age of eighteen, but I didn't see the big rivers. When I see a big ship on TV, my heart is tickled, and I always want to have a chance to sit in it one day.

This wish has not been fulfilled until a few years ago, when I first came to Longjiang to cross the river by ferry, and finally fulfilled my dream of a steamer. ”

Secretary Le reacted, and immediately smiled: "The ferry of the ferry company is also built by us, not only several ferries in the province, but also the ferries of several upstream provinces also use our ferries." ”

The old factory is the old factory, at least it was once brilliant.

Tian Wenjian sighed secretly, looked at a 10,000-ton ro-ro ship passing by in the middle of the river, and said meaningfully: "Old secretary, don't worry, no matter how hard it is, I have to support the shipyard, and I will never give up our foundation because of the steel structure company." ”

"I'm relieved." The old secretary nodded, pointed to the people in the work area, and asked with a smile: "Today is an opportunity, don't you want to say something to everyone?" ”

During the day, he was busy leading party members and cadres in labor reform, and at night he had to deal with routine affairs and receive creditors. Tian Wenjian was shocked to find that except for the negotiation when he first came, he really didn't say a few words to the employees.

It's easy to speak, what could you possibly say?

Faced with the workers who had been owed wages for nearly a year, Tian Wenjian really had no face to speak. The old secretary seemed to realize what he was worried about, so he patted him on the arm and encouraged him with a smile on his face: "Go ahead, the big guy will believe you." ”

Everyone was on the river beach, and there was no need to deliberately assemble, Tian Wenjian jumped onto the shell of a large winch and shouted at everyone: "Comrades, comrades, please put aside the work at hand, I have a few words to say!" ”

Everyone hurriedly put down their work and gathered around. Luo Qiusheng, Han Yongming, Tan Shidan and other factory leaders even crowded to his side and made a deferential look.

Tian Wenjian's face was heavy, and he knew at a glance that there would be nothing good. The crowd that was still chattering just now suddenly fell silent, and only the gusts of river wind were heard whirring in their ears.

"Seniors, colleagues, I don't know how to build ships, but that doesn't mean I can't compare!"

Tian Wenjian coughed dryly twice, and finally opened the conversation, "The history of our factory, I don't need to say more, you all know better than me." I'm going to talk about the comparison today, so please rest assured...... I will not compare large shipyards such as Hudong and Shanchuan, but some small shipyards along the Yangtze River in neighboring provinces and along the coast of East Zhejiang. ”

"Secretary Tian, what's the comparison?"

"yes, can comparing and comparing can solve the problem? If you want me to say, just set up the steel structure company wholeheartedly. A young man shouted, looking at his elated appearance, he knew that he was very confident in the steel structure company.

Compared with others, in addition to being backward, it is backward. Neither cadres nor employees want to compare themselves with others. What's more, it has already lost money like this, and there is no comparable surname between the two at all. In Tian Wenjian's view, this is a very serious ideological problem. Not only the cadres have it, but also the workers, if they don't wake them up, the shipyard is really hopeless.

"Why can't it be compared?"

Tian Wenjian's face was straight, and he said very seriously: "Don't talk about it, let's talk about the West Orange Group in the neighboring province." In the early 70s, when we were able to build 6,000-ton freighters, they were still building small wooden ships. In the 80s, steel barges began to be built, and it was not until the 90s that small motor boats began to be built.

Comrades, to put it mildly, the level of their cultivation two years ago is equivalent to the level we were in the 60s. But in just two years, people have created a precedent for local shipyards to build 10,000-ton giant ships, which suddenly pulled our big brothers far away and quickly rose in the shipbuilding industry.

And what about us? The tonnage is getting smaller and smaller, from 6,000 tons to 1,000 tons, and then from 1,000 tons to 200 hundred tons, no different from those family workshops! ”

Seeing everyone looking at each other and staring at each other, Tian Wenjian jumped off the winch, walked to the middle of the crowd, pointed to the half-cleared dock, and continued: "I always thought that to build a big ship, there must be a slipway, a dock, a tower crane, and a gantry. But as far as I know, before the financial crisis, when large ship orders were flying all over the sky, the Koreans came up with a new trick, starting from the ground without a slipway, saving time and money quickly, but the technical requirements were also very high.

When it comes to technology, we can't compare it to people, but it's not just in South Korea. The private shipyards that have sprung up along the coast of eastern Zhejiang have long begun to use the flat ground starting method. For them, having a concrete slipway is nice, and most of them lift boats of more than 1,000 tons directly on the beach. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and they couldn't believe that this was true. After all, for those of them who are accustomed to having everything, it is inconceivable to build an aircraft carrier to start a ship on the ground.

"Tian ...... Field...... Tian, Secretary Tian, you're not kidding, are you? ”

Looking at Liu Gong's unbelievable look, Tian Wenjian said with a sneer: "Do you think that people can only build small machinery and export some shoes and toys?" I'm very responsible to tell you that these are all old calendars! To put it bluntly, the owners of those beach shipyards are embarrassed to go out and say hello without building a 10,000-ton ship.

The Koreans also have to engage in segmentation and then launch docking, they directly go out of the ship as a whole, do not need to dock without slipway, even gantry cranes and tower cranes are saved, and directly rent a truck crane when needed, which can still build 10,000 tons of ships. Low-tech bulk carriers are not a problem, and even high-value-added liquefied gas carriers are built. ”

Chief Engineer Wu was stunned for a while before asking, "What ......is this?" This...... Is this safe and quality guaranteed? ”

"I don't know if it's safe, I know that the cost of one of their boats is nearly 100 million, and they are exported. There is also no ABS, BV, CCS, DNV and other classification society certifications that you need. ”

After a pause, Tian Wenjian continued sarcastically: "They don't even have a design department, and all the designs are handled by design companies or related shipyards. In addition, flaw detection and testing are the same, and they all hire people to rent equipment from outside. Except for a few welders and cutters, they can be said to have nothing. ”

There is nothing, people can build a 10,000-ton giant ship. I have everything, but I have never built a 10,000-ton sea ship! Even high-tonnage ro-ro ships have never been built, let alone special ships and high value-added ships such as rake suction engineering dredgers, self-propelled semi-submersible ships, and oceanographic research ships.

"As long as there is an order, we can make it!" A worker in his thirties shouted, and looking at his thick glasses, he knew that he was a technician.

The potter was stunned for a moment, then reacted, pointed to the No. 4 slipway, and gritted his teeth and said: "Module construction, sectional inspection, flat docking, site closing, slipway outfitting, airbag launching, we can do it too!" ”

As soon as this head opened, everyone's minds suddenly came alive. Some said that the slipway was refitted, and some said that the dock was expanded, and they rushed to express their opinions.

Wu Huabin pondered for a moment, then suddenly walked to Tian Wenjian's side, grabbed his arm, and swore solemnly: "Our dock can be modified slightly, and we can build 15,000-ton and 12,000-ton container ships." Secretary Tian, as long as you can receive the order, then we can build the ship for you! ”

How can it be so easy to take orders?

The current shipbuilding industry is starving to death, holding on to death! It is more difficult for Longjiang Shipyard to receive orders than to ascend to the sky, and those shipyards with good benefits hold orders that are almost scheduled for 3 years.

Tian Wenjian sighed secretly, looked around at everyone, and said meaningfully: "The reason why I say this is to tell you that as long as we have confidence and determination, there is hope for Longjiang Shipyard." We have docks, slipways, outfitting docks, 50 meters of water depth of 18-20 meters outside the shore, and the natural conditions for building cargo ships of less than 200,000 tons.

As long as we can work together to overcome this difficult situation, then we can take a break and study the direction in which the shipyard should develop. All in all, a living person will never be suffocated by urine, with such good conditions and such good workers, I don't believe that I will never receive an order! ”

Tian Wenjian couldn't go on, and the thunderous applause and cheers drowned him out. The tsunami-like noise of the mountains echoed in Jiangbei for nearly ten minutes.

At this time, two black luxury sedans slowly stopped on the embankment, and several people got out of the sedan and walked along the passage that had just been cleared, tiptoeing towards Okita Wenjian. The crowd regained its calm in an instant, because the arrival of several creditors pulled them back to reality at once.

Tian Wenjian didn't want them to affect the mood of the employees, so he immediately asked Luo Qiusheng to beckon everyone to continue working, and he greeted him casually.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Qiu, why do you want to appear together, and even form a group to collect debts?"

Lu Guoping was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Secretary Tian, you guessed wrong, we want to talk to you about business today, not to collect debts as you imagined." ”

Tian Wenjian was happy, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "I'm so poor, what business is there to talk about?" ”

Manager Qiu of Tongda Hardware Commercial Bank looked back at the workers, then leaned into his ear and said with a smile: "Secretary Tian, Mr. Lu is really not joking with you, we are here with sincerity." ”

"In that case, let's find a quiet place to talk."

Yang Fengru, general manager of Xinhua Electromechanical Equipment Company, said with a smile while courteously saluting a cigarette: "Secretary Tian, you are about to treat Jiangtan as a labor camp. If you don't pay for your work, you can't do it, and if you go on like this, the comrades will have opinions. ”

"Really? Why didn't I see it? Tian Wenjian glanced back and said lightly.

"Old Yang, you're laughing again." Lu Guoping saw that Tian Wenjian was a little unhappy, and hurriedly haha: "Secretary Tian, there are not many leading cadres like you who lead by example!" After dealing with shipyards for so many years, even when the benefits are good, I have never seen the morale of the employees so high. ”

Nothing to be courteous, either annihilation or theft! What's more, they are all creditors. Tian Wenjian walked towards the office building with them, and said with a smile: "Several CEOs, I'm busy, don't sell it, what do you have to say." ”

"Let's talk about it in your office." Lu Guoping looked around, looking mysterious.

The factory director, deputy factory director, section chief, and deputy section chief are all working in the work area, and the huge office building is empty, and there is no figure in sight. Even the phones were moved out of the offices and all pulled to the finance department, where they were answered by several female comrades.

Seeing Tian Wenjian come back so early, Li Tianbao and other retired employees on duty were a little surprised. When he saw the big creditors behind him, he realized that he had to come back.

"Can you say it now?" As soon as the four of them landed on the sofa, Tian Wenjian raised Erlang's legs and asked casually.

"That's right."

Lu Guoping sat up straight, pointed to the office of the preparatory group of the steel structure company next door, and said with a smile: "Secretary Tian, I heard that you are going to build a steel structure company, and we want to invest in the shares with debts and work together under your leadership." ”

It's a shortcut to debt collection! Tian Wenjian nodded slightly, and asked noncommittently: "Then do you have any specific plans?" ”

Yang Fengru, general manager of Xinhua Electromechanical Equipment Company, immediately took out a plan from his briefcase, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Secretary Tian, first of all, we have to solemnly state that the reason why we are interested in the steel structure company is not that we are worried that you will not repay your debts, but that we do not want to miss this opportunity for common development."

Think about it, the shipyard has only 1,000 people, including temporary workers, even if they don't eat or drink, they are staring at the construction site 24 hours a day, and how many steel structure workshops can they undertake? If we let a few of us buy shares, in addition to creditor's rights, we can also invest a few hundred more cash to make the steel structure a serious thing. ”

Seeing Tian Wenjian's indifferent look, Manager Qiu was anxious, so he said eagerly: "Secretary Tian, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the project of the Blue Sky Industrial Park is so big, you don't want the shipyard to share a little bit of the soup, right?" ”

Lu Guoping coughed dryly, took over the conversation, and said with a sincere expression: "The blue sky project is one thing, and we also want to take this opportunity to take down the construction qualification." Expand the steel structure business to other cities, and even the whole of China. ”

Looking at their impatient looks, Tian Wenjian asked with a smile: "What?" How many are ready to change careers? ”

"It's not a career change, it's an investment."

Lu Guoping snuffed out the cigarette and said eloquently: "Secretary Tian, Ming people don't say dark words, the reason why we have this idea is that in addition to wanting to solve the debt problem once and for all, it also means to enjoy the shade under the big tree of Blue Sky Group." After all, the first phase of the Blue Sky Industrial Park project is completed, and there is the second phase of the project. The light infrastructure will cost hundreds of millions to say the least, do you think we can sit still? ”

"Secretary Tian, we won't hang ourselves on a tree. If you allow us to invest in the shares with creditor's rights, and then there is such a large sample project as the Blue Sky Industrial Park, then we can completely base ourselves on Longjiang and develop outward. ”

Tian Wenjian looked at the plan in his hand, then raised his head, and said with a wry smile: "It can not only solve nearly 10 million debts, but also allow the shipyard to get the maximum benefits." From an economic point of view, this is a great idea to kill two birds with one stone.

But there are still three problems: first, even if you are allowed to invest in shares with creditor's rights, the steel structure company will not be able to eat all the first phase of the Blue Sky Industrial Park. After all, the time is too tight, even if the construction team is organized, it is too late; Second, if you are allowed to invest in the shares with your debts, then I will not be able to explain to the cadres and employees of the shipyard. You must know that the fund-raising funds are their last savings, and allowing you to invest in shares is, to put it bluntly, to let them personally repay the debts of the shipyard; Third, after the shareholding, it is a joint-stock enterprise, and all machining equipment will become the property of the steel structure company. The equipment is given to you, so what about the shipyard? Will you not be able to build a shipbuilding in the future? ”

I have to admit that Tian Wenjian's words still have some truth. Lu Guoping pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Secretary Tian, in fact, we have also thought about this. The first problem is easy to solve, and it is definitely too late to form a large-scale construction team, but we can immediately expand the plant, specializing in the production of steel structures and color steel plates, and let others do the construction.

That is, Blue Sky Group is invited to bid in the form of net contractors. Of course, you need your help, and in fact only you can help with it.

The second question is more tricky, but we can make some concessions on equity and explain the prospects of the steel structure company to the employees, so that they can rest assured that they can boldly turn the raised funds into investment funds.

The third problem is best solved, except for the color steel plate forming equipment and plasma cutting equipment, the other equipment is still owned by the shipyard, and the rental cost of the equipment can be settled internally. ”

After Tian Wenjian weighed it, he still shook his head and said: "The creditor's rights of the four of you are nearly 10 million, the fund-raising funds of the employees are less than 3 million, and the equipment such as color steel plate forming equipment and plasma cutting machines are worthless, even if the idle land of the shipyard is counted, the fund-raising funds and the investment in the shipyard add up to less than 50% of the shares."

In this way, is the steel structure company still the company of the Blue Sky Group? If not, then why does Blue Sky Group engage in net contractor bidding? Why do you give money to earn? ”

"Secretary Tian, you are secretly changing your concept."

How could Lu Guoping not know what he was thinking, so he laughed and said: "50% of the shares are not mine, but the four of us, according to the share of creditor's rights, the steel structure company is still a shipyard holding, or a company of the Blue Sky Group." ”

Tian Wenjian smiled, pointed at the four of them, and said meaningfully: "Although I said that, it won't be like this when the time comes." However, this plan is not useless, and if the employees' pension insurance and medical insurance can be included in the social pool, then I may consider it. ”

For the four of them, Blue Sky Group is not as simple as steel structure workshops and real estate. If you can take this opportunity to bundle together, then the entire Blue Sky Group, and even the 315 factory's steel, mechanical and electrical equipment, hardware tools, oxygen acetylene, etc., will undoubtedly give priority to them.

After Lu Guoping glanced at the other three, he slapped the table and said categorically: "Secretary Tian, the social co-ordination of this part, the company will contribute a part, the employees will contribute a part, and then a part of the income from our shares and the shipyard, what do you think?" ”

Let them be experts in steel structure companies, which must be better than those brainless in shipyards. What's more, only in this way can we take a step back to study the problems of the shipyard itself.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Wenjian said with a smile: "Since you are so confident, then go and talk to the preparatory team of the steel structure company." As long as they have no opinions, then I will not have any opinions, and I will immediately report to the leaders of the working committee, the management committee and the group company, and strive to turn the plan into reality. ”
