Chapter 150: The First Five-Year Plan (1)

Guangzhou Shipbuilding Industry Company.

Guangzhou Shipyard is the first seaside shipyard of the Science and Technology Socialist Party, and it is also the largest shipyard in the country, with a scale far from the old Jiangnan and Mawei. At present, 2 20,000-ton docks, 4 10,000-ton docks, B 66-ton docks, B 36-ton docks, and 2 26-ton slipways have been built. At the same time, there are 2 10,000-ton docks under construction.

At the same time, because of the use of the most advanced shipbuilding equipment available in the world at this time, and there are many advanced equipment designed by later generations that can be realized at present, this factory can be said to be the most advanced shipyard on the planet.

At this time, the "National Shipbuilding Industry Exhibition and Construction Work Conference" was being held in the conference room of Guangzhou Shipyard, and the participants came from major shipyards across the country, and the content of the meeting was mainly about the ship part of the "First Five-Year Plan".

“...... As you all know, shipbuilding is inseparable from steel. Last year, China's crude steel output reached 60,000 tons, while Japan's was less than 130,000 tons. In the second half of this year, China's Wuhan Iron and Steel, Handan Iron and Steel, Jinan Iron and Steel, and Mashan Iron and Steel will also continue to be put into operation, and there is no problem with crude steel output exceeding one million tons this year. By next year, Baosteel, Anshan Iron and Steel, Tangshan Iron and Steel, and Baotou Iron and Steel will also be put into operation. Coupled with the heavy steel and large steel (Daye) that have been built, China will have ten steel bases at that time, and the total production capacity is expected to exceed 3o tons, ranking sixth in the world"

The moderator is Ban Chuanzhi, Vice Premier of the State Council and Minister of Heavy Industry, who used to be a senior biochemical in charge of heavy industry at Xingke Group. He was mainly responsible for the work of Xingke Machinery Company and Weigang, and later served as the director of Sichuan Shipyard. After the establishment of the political power of the Science and Technology Socialist Party, he became the number one person in charge of heavy industry. After taking control of the central government, heavy industry was the top priority, and Ban Chuanzhi naturally became the vice premier.

"Oh" everyone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim, and the speech of the prime minister was constantly interrupted by warm applause.

“...... In the year after tomorrow, Sugang (Jiangsu Liguo), Pangang, Beigang Jing), Benxi Iron and Steel, TISCO (Taiyuan), and Luogang (Luoyang) will also be built in 6...... After the end of the First Five-Year Plan, China will have 2 large steel mills, and the total crude steel output will exceed 1.60 million tons, second only to the United States and Germany, ranking third in the world......" Ban Chuanzhi said with great interest.

"Great" Everyone in the audience was so excited that their hands were red. Especially the natives of this time and space, many of them were in tears, and even if they didn't shed tears, their eyes were red. In this era of "steel is national strength," steel output is one of the important criteria for judging a country's strength. In the absence of Xingke, the steel output of the Qing Dynasty was less than 60,000 tons (the original time and space reached B tons in 1911). It's only been a few years, and it's multiplied more than ten times, and all of a sudden, the old enemy Japan has been left far behind.

Of course, most of the current steel talents are moved from the United States, the economic crisis of 19uu, in the following years, a large number of steel mills in the United States went bankrupt, reduced production, and many steel mill equipment were packaged and sold as non-performing assets, and the price was really scrap iron price. At this time, other industrial countries do not need these equipment, the Yankees can't sell it, and the bosses who are eager to cut the meat and stop the loss are in a hurry.

Therefore, after Xingke and Zenith and many vest companies slightly revealed their intention to acquire, these guys cried and shouted and begged Mr. Wen to buy them. In the past few years, Mr. Wen used scrap iron prices to transfer nearly 4oo tons of steel production capacity from the United States to China, if it were not for the lack of enough steelworkers and technicians, these steel plants would have been built long ago, and there would be no need to wait for a few years.

Now, with the full rollout of vocational training, the number of industrial workers has begun to rise in a straight line, and these steel mills have begun to be launched.

In fact, the Japanese are still very greedy for those American steel mills, but they have just finished the Russo-Japanese War and owe a lot of debts, and they can't afford to buy them no matter how much they have ideas. So I can only watch China frantically buy the bottom.

"Premier Ban, what about Weigang and Hanyang Iron Works? These two steel mills are not small...... at this time, a leader of the Jiangnan Plant asked.

"Oh, the steel mills I mentioned earlier are all based on Pu Steel, and the two steel mills of Weigang and Hanyang have gradually switched to producing special steel since this year, and Pu Steel is no longer the main product...... "Ban Chuanzhi explained.

He continued: "Now that we have enough steel, the shipbuilding industry needs to be upgraded as much as possible. According to the First Five-Year Plan, the tasks of our shipbuilding industry this year are as follows: First, in terms of warships, we must design and build 26-ton fleet destroyers and 4o6-ton light cruisers on our own, which can repair and maintain 10,000-ton warships. Second, in terms of cargo ships, it is necessary to design and build 10,000-ton bulk carriers, container ships, and oil carriers, and third, in terms of passenger ships, it is necessary to design and build 66-ton offshore passenger ships and ocean-going passenger ships......"

Ban Chuanzhi then began to arrange the tasks of various units, and the ones who received the tasks were all large state-owned or holding shipyards such as Guangzhou Shipyard, Wuchuan Shipyard, and Jiangnan, and as for those small and medium-sized shipyards and shipyards in which the state held shares, there were no specific indicators, but they were just asked to use new technology and new equipment as much as possible to train more workers and technicians.

In conclusion, Vice Premier Ban said: "This year is the first year of China's First Five-Year Plan, and the tasks of all units are quite heavy.

After the meeting, Xu Wei hurriedly walked out of the conference room, he is now one of the chief engineers of Guangzhou Shipyard, and the project he is currently responsible for is the 4o6-ton light cruiser. He was now eager to use it for two days a day, and as soon as the meeting was over, he was in a hurry to go back and refine the design.

As soon as Xu Wei walked down the steps, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Hey, Huaixing...... Wait a minute."

When he looked back, it was an acquaintance named Wu Xiao, a classmate he had met at Kittygorti College (the predecessor of Imperial College London) in London, England. Xu Wei graduated in O7, accepted the idea of scientific socialism when he was studying in the UK, became a brain-dead fan of Wen Dehei, and went directly to the Science and Technology Party when he came back from graduation. And although Wu Xiao and he are both ship design majors, they are one term later than him, and this guy joined forces with Li Ang and other "turtles" to vote for the name before he defected to the Science and Technology Socialist Party.

And unlike Xu Wei, although this Wu Xiao also defected to the Science and Technology Socialist Party, he did not join any state-owned shipyard, but together with the "turtles" of the coB pirates, he used the bonuses to jointly open a joint-stock shipyard.

"Zhongsheng, is there something wrong......" Xu Wei stopped.

Wu Xiao caught up and said a little embarrassedly: "Huaixing, this time the Prime Minister said that you Guangzhou Ship has been busy building big ships in the past few years. You know, we are a new factory, and customers don't trust it" It is estimated that he is also the first time to do this kind of thing, and he is very restrained.

The shipyard run by the "turtles" is called "Lianyi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.", and the amount of bonuses they received for that vote is staggering, as high as 176.64 million silver dollars, because it is a government bonus, which is tax-free. Under Li Ang's construction, they took out eighty percent of the bonus, that is, 14o50,000 yuan to set up a shipyard.

That's a lot of money, and the planned investment of China's largest Mawei shipyard at the time was only 3o thousand taels2. 60,000 yuan), of course, the price in 196 is definitely higher than in 18uu, but it will not be more than 6o yuan when it is calculated into inflation. In other words, the investment of Lianyi Shipbuilding is at least more than double that of Mawei.

Moreover, the CSD has always encouraged private enterprises, especially heavy industry, so the government is also very supportive of the largest private shipyard. In order to show its support, the government has participated in the shares of #leather and some technologies and equipment, accounting for 3% of the shares. Don't be too much, this is already quite taken care of, and the actual value of those things that the CSD has taken out is far more than that.

Lianyi Shipbuilding is next to Guangship, and in June this year, the construction of the factory was basically completed, and production can begin. But there is a problem, that is, there is not much business. There is no doubt that the technology and equipment of Lianyi Shipbuilding are definitely advanced with the support of the government group, and they have recruited a large number of technicians and workers in Europe through their own connections, and there is no shortage of manpower.

But what they lack most is the market, lack of roots and connections in this industry, and lack enough prestige. So although there are a lot of domestic orders now, and ships are needed everywhere, Lianyi only got a little sporadic list, the largest being 2 6o tons of ocean-going fishing boats, which are still too old shipyards to eat, leaking.

This made the ambitious Lianyi Shipbuilding very depressed, they originally figured out the relationship of Guò Li Ang from the navy to divide the list, Comrade Xiao Li is now a celebrity in the navy, if he is willing to come forward, how can he be more useful than these people. But Li Ang refused, and Xiao Li's reason was that active duty soldiers were not allowed to do business. He said that although he himself is a shareholder, he will not be involved in the specific operation of the company during his service.

As a result, the senior management of Lianyi Shipbuilding had no choice but to ask him for a way. Wu Xiao is now working as the deputy chief engineer of Lianyi Shipbuilding, so he has now found his old classmate.

However, this guy is also a technical nerd, and it took him a long time to explain things clearly. What he thought was that the task of Guangzhou Ship this year was very tight, and the original large number of small orders would definitely not be able to do it, so he figured out the face of Guò's old classmates and gave some to himself.

"That's right," Xu Wei said embarrassedly: "Zhongsheng, I can't help with this favor." I'm from the design institute and I'm not in charge of that. You'll have to go to our marketing department for this......"

"Who said I didn't look for it" Wu Xiao said a little angrily: "They said that it has not been decided yet, and the list that has been assigned will be examined or something, at least a few months...... But we are waiting for the rice to be put into the pot now, you know, although the strength of our friendship is not as good as that of Guangchuan, but it is better than many factories. ”

"Of course I know this, your strength can be ranked in the top five in China. However, it's useless for me to say it......" Xu Wei said sympathetically.
