Chapter 178: Aiming at Toshiba
Early the next morning, Wang Ye set off by car, and the destination was Yuntai Shipyard.
To be honest, when he sat in the car, Wang Ye was still very much looking forward to it, after all, it was said that the three airlines would not be separated and won the shipyard, which would be a huge progress for the consortium and an important beginning, and the products of the consortium would no longer be limited to land in the future.
Leaving aside the military sphere, the next three decades will see a huge boom in the global shipping industry.
And standing in the time and space after a few decades, from the perspective of history, the center of the modern shipbuilding industry has actually shifted four times, the initial center was the United States, and then after World War II, in order to support the European economy, it was transferred to Europe, and with the development of Japan, as well as cheap labor, it turned to Japan in the sixties, and in the mid-seventies, because of the take-off of the Japanese economy, the price of labor increased, and the center of the shipbuilding industry shifted to South Korea, and finally after the new century, it was transferred to China.
In fact, the development of the shipbuilding industry and the transfer of the center of the shipbuilding industry are affected by no more than three factors.
First, official policy support, or the need for economic development, after all, the basic basis of global commercial trade is ships, otherwise can we expect to transport goods by air? Isn't this funny?
For example, Japan in the 60s and South Korea in the 70s, the economic development rate was very high, and the demand for shipping was very high, which was the market, which in turn drove the shipbuilding industry.
Second, cheap labor.
There is nothing to say about this, shipbuilding is not an easy job, such as Saudi Arabia and Dubai, it is definitely not possible to engage in shipbuilding, because their labor costs are too high, obviously you can blow the air conditioner and eat ice cream, who wants to work in the shipyard?
Third, the industrial base.
At least in a few decades, the global shipyard industry is still dominated by China, followed by Japan and South Korea, and has not gone to Southeast Asia or India, because their overall industrial level is not good, and even the energy level is not good, and they simply cannot support this stall.
But in any case, there is no doubt that shipbuilding is a profitable industry.
And although they are all industries that need cheap labor, there is a completely different difference between shipbuilding and light industry such as the production of plush toys, that is, shipbuilding is an industry that integrates industrial achievements, and belongs to the crown of heavy industry, and before spaceships and mecha were made, shipyards were the crown jewels of heavy industry.
Therefore, shipbuilding and heavy industry are complementary to each other, only heavy industry is strong enough, in order to develop shipbuilding, and the development of shipbuilding industry, will also drive the progress of heavy industry, in fact, not only heavy industry, but also includes precision manufacturing, such as various precision bearings, propellers; and the energy industry, such as heavy oil engines and even small nuclear reactors.
It is for these reasons.
For the sake of money, for the development of industry, for the manufacture of large ships and cannons, in order to go to the deep blue, in order to move towards the sea of stars, so Wang Ye took this step and merged the shipyard.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the platform of a hundred zhang starts from the soil!
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Wang Ye's car arrived at the gate of Yuntai Shipbuilding, and as soon as this silver-gray pickup appeared, it instantly became a hot topic of discussion among countless onlookers!
"OMG! What kind of car is this? It looks so strange! ”
"Hehe, don't you understand? I heard that this is called a pickup, and it is the latest product of the Red Star Consortium! ”
"What do you mean by people? It's us! Got it? Let's Red Star Consortium! ”
"Yes, yes, the latest product of our Red Star Consortium, doesn't it look particularly cool? Particularly sci-fi? ”
"Our factory director is really awesome! After all, we're the second to join the consortium, right? ”
"Yes, there is still Laiyang Iron and Steel Plant in front, no way, people are close!"
"I don't know how many factories will be under our consortium in the future? Ten? A hundred? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”
"God knows! But we're the second, hahaha! ”
At that moment, when the pickup truck drove into the gate, Wang Ye understood what it meant to be welcomed, after all, the current shipyard has no production tasks at all, with more than 3,000 workers and 17,800 family members, which is more than three times the scale of the original Red Star Machinery Factory!
At this moment, it feels like everyone is rushing to the gate and standing on both sides of the road, which is truly a sea of people!
"Welcome, welcome! Put out the welcome mat! ”
"Welcome to Yuntai Red Star Shipyard! Welcome! Welcome! ”
With the advance of the pickup truck, the sound of mountains and tsunamis sounded all around, at that moment Wang Ye looked out of the window, there were children with red cheeks because of the cold and excitement, teenagers and girls who were seventeen, eighteen or twenty years old, young middle-aged people who were thirty or forty years old, and middle-aged and elderly people who were about fifty, sixty or even seventy years old, there was light, brilliance and expectation in their eyes!
They are looking forward to the young man in this car who will bring them a new life, the life they have always dreamed of!
For children, it may be a meal of meat or a piece of sugar; For those teenagers and girls, it may be a book, a long-awaited good clothes, a bicycle of their own; For those in their thirties and forties, it is firewood, rice, oil and salt, the clothes on the body, the confidence of the children to get married, or a glass of dry white wine that has not been tasted for a long time; And for those old people, just a thing called "food and clothing decent" everything everything!
"Hello everyone! I am your factory director, I am Wang Ye! ”
"Remember my face! From today onwards, I am your factory director! My name is Wang Ye! ”
"Don't crowd, stay safe!"
Looking at the bustling crowd, looking at their excited and fanatical expressions, Wang Ye rolled down the window, waved his hand outside and shouted, even Wang Ye was ready, what if someone used rotten eggs to sneak attack, but in the end, Wang Ye was both disappointed and happy, because this scene did not appear.
What appeared was even more frenzied applause, loud cheers, and deafening welcomes!
In Wang Ye's opinion, maybe they are not welcoming Wang Ye, but welcoming their new life!
"Welcome! Welcome! Put out the welcome mat! ”
"Welcome to the factory director! Welcome to the factory manager! Hello Director! ”
In a sea of jubilation, the pickup truck finally slowly came to the front of the office building of the shipyard, where there is also an open space, which can be used for various simple assembly activities, and at this moment the surrounding crowd has been surrounded, Director Li and others are already waiting here.
"How? Is the welcome hot? ”
"I'm telling you! We didn't say a word, it was all spontaneous! ”
As soon as Wang Ye got out of the car, Director Li said with a smile, and Wang Ye was not polite at all, waved his hand around, and instantly there was a jubilant voice, and at the same time said to Director Li:
"If it was you, I'm not so happy!"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Director Li couldn't help laughing, then breathed a sigh of relief, looked around and said with emotion:
"Hearts are available! The human heart is available! ”
"Actually, before I came, I was also nervous, if the shipyard is rotten, how can I explain to you?"
"Now it seems that I think it's wrong, it's me who misunderstood everyone, everyone's hearts are still hot!"
Speaking of this, Director Li couldn't help but lower his voice and shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"Sometimes I feel that you kid is a demon mirror!"
"It's just for us mediocre people!"
"We are in this position, whether it is true or fake, we have been working hard for several years, but there is no fart, work, it is not workable, people, people are not aligned, and in the end it is a bubble of, disgusting to watch!
"And as soon as you came, the situation was reversed in an instant, the work was done, and the hearts of the people were united, look at it! Look! What a shame on us! ”
"To be honest, sometimes I'm very jealous! What a scene this is! ”
Regarding Director Li's statement, Wang Ye smiled without thinking:
"I don't agree with what you said, any development must abide by objective laws, in the era of planning, there is no plan is nothing, and it is useless to think that there are 10,000 ways to break the sky, so it is different from the past!"
"Besides, it is the responsibility of the leader to select the best and the best, and to know the people well, and now that it has been merged, I am here, isn't this a thing?"
"To be honest, I have to thank the leaders of our Yuntai City for giving us such great support, if it weren't for the support of the leaders, we wouldn't have been able to go so far, if it wasn't for the care of the leaders, how could we merge so quickly? You're right? ”
As soon as these words came out, the other staff members and leaders in the relevant cities all looked happy and smiling, with a proud expression, and Wang Ye also pulled Director Li's hand hard, as if shaking hands, everything was silent.
After all, the shipyard is not the same as the former steel plant, the steel mill has hundreds of workers, and the shipyard has about 3,500 people, so naturally there are more departments involved, and there are more problems in all aspects, so it is also troublesome to merge naturally, and it requires the cooperation of many departments.
And the reason why Director Li suddenly said two sentences just now was to let Wang Ye say two words of sincere feelings, after all, when the merger working group came, it was generally lively, and now that Wang Ye is here, the entire shipyard is about to explode, and many people still have a gap in their hearts, although they also understand this situation, but Wang Ye, who is the director of the factory, is better to say two good words, and it is easy to talk after forming a good fate, isn't it?
Sure enough, after Wang Ye finished speaking, he expressed a high degree of affirmation of the work of the superior department, as well as sincere gratitude, coupled with Wang Ye's current identity and attention, the hearts of everyone present couldn't help but float, and Wang Ye's senses became better and better, more and more pleasing to the eye!
"Director, say a few words!"
"That's right, Director! A few words to the big guys! ”
"We want to listen to the factory director!"
Subsequently, more and more people came around, directly blocking the water of this vacant land, perhaps seeing Wang Ye and Director Li and others, about to walk into the office building, I don't know who took the lead and suddenly shouted such a voice, and instantly the scene sounded in unison!
"Director! Say a few words! ”
Under such circumstances, Director Li smiled and said:
"Come on! You kid speak, I approve! ”
"A few words for the big guys, shall you?"
Hearing Director Li say this, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Ye nodded, and then climbed directly to the top of the pickup truck, and suddenly a noisy sound sounded on the scene, after all, in everyone's opinion, the car is still a precious thing, how can it be so tossed, and in the past, it was a 212 jeep, and the roof was all soft cloth, which was not strong at all, and it was completely unable to bear the weight!
But the next moment.
Wang Ye stood condescendingly on the roof of the car, the roof of the car did not look deformed at all, and before everyone had time to be surprised, Wang Ye coughed lightly, and then shouted:
"Everyone suddenly asked me to speak, and I didn't know what to say for a while."
"Yes, I guess everyone has heard a lot of the scene, so I'll say something from my heart."
"Do you think it's okay?"
Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, a cheering voice sounded in an instant, and then Wang Ye smiled:
"I came to the shipyard to do only three things."
"First, find products, second, engage in production, third, grasp sales!"
"And everyone only needs to do one thing, and that is to listen to my voice, and everyone will do what I ask everyone to do!"
"As long as everyone works hard and does their own work well, I guarantee that everyone will follow me, and the future will definitely be fragrant and spicy and well-dressed, fragrant but fat pork slices, spicy but our old white dry, as for wearing, at least it must be a really good start!"
"As long as everyone is willing to endure hardships and be able to work, I guarantee that in less than five years, every household is upstairs and downstairs electric lights and telephones, electric fans, washing machines, radios and televisions, and motorcycles downstairs. Good no good! ”
If other leaders speak, it may be that they are drawing a big pie, but Wang Ye, the director of the Red Star Consortium, speaks, and no one will doubt it, because the current consortium has proven everything!
"Good!"
At that moment, there was a sound of response and applause.
Then Wang Ye smiled and said:
"In this case, everyone will go back to their respective homes and wait for news, and our production activities will start soon."
"If there is something to do, then you have to hurry up, and when the time comes, you will get busy, but you won't have this effort, don't blame me for not asking you for leave at that time!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was full of laughter, after all, although what Wang Ye said sounded strange, after all, the shipyard is idle every day now, do you still need to ask for it? Isn't every day a holiday?
However, they also knew that Wang Ye was by no means joking, because the consortium was like this!
"Bang!"
Then Wang Ye jumped directly from the roof of the car, and everyone walked into the small building.
Next, is the handover work, after the original director was dealt with, the former director of the technical department Lao Miao temporarily acting as the factory director, he is a talent from the Jiangnan Shanghai Shipyard, the overall level is still very high.
However, shipbuilding is not a matter of urgency, and it will definitely not be able to be launched in a short time, so TVs, compressors, picture tubes, electric fans, and washing machines will be produced here, and the compressor is not afraid of the backlog of goods at all, because as long as it is simply publicized, this thing is not enough to sell, after all, the state-owned factories that want to engage in refrigerators in China will have three hundred if there are no five hundred next year, but they cannot produce compressors at all, and they all want to import, where does so much foreign exchange come from?
In addition, the working capital of the consortium is sufficient, and wasting a little money to press goods here does not affect the normal production activities at all.
The next ten days.
Wang Ye traveled to the headquarters of the consortium, the shipyard department, and the base dismantling plant, solving various problems, coordinating various resources, participating in various technical meetings, determining various scientific research goals, and so on.
The time has finally come to December.
On December 5th, whether it was the shipyard department or the dismantling plant department, the work finally settled down, and several scientific research project teams of the headquarters, under the participation and guidance of Wang Ye, made very good progress, so Wang Ye, who was empty, decided to go to Yanjing to find a way to contact the Japanese first and solve the problem of machine tools.
There are many places where you can get in touch with Japan in Yanjing, such as Mitsubishi has an office, Panasonic also has an office, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, not to mention several motorcycle manufacturers.
Of course, Wang Ye's goal this time is indispensable, Toshiba!
