Chapter two hundred and thirty first visit
He Yuwei arrived in Ji*nan as fast as possible, and there were 8 COSCO Shipping staff accompanying him.
It wasn't her striking, but her father He Chengjun was worried that she would not handle the matter well, so she sent out all the people she could send out.
The offshore drilling platform is like a hen laying golden eggs. The price of a single offshore drilling platform can make a large enterprise full. Although the Dahua Industrial’s project has benefited a lot of central enterprises such as China Shipbuilding Corporation, the main projects are all reserved for China Shipbuilding Corporation.
In just one year, Dahua Industrial built an experimental platform and placed orders for three large drilling platforms. With this alone, the merged COSCO Shipping can survive better than before, with an annual income of more than 10 million yuan.
In addition to unimaginable profits, through the construction of offshore drilling platforms, COSCO Shipping's engineering construction capabilities have also been rapidly improved. In 1989, except for oil fields, few factories could afford tens of millions of dollars. Therefore, COSCO Shipping, which is dedicated to integrating internally and expanding its strength, could not escape Dahua Industry at this time.
In the foreseeable future, they cannot escape Dahua Industry.
Therefore, Su Cheng was just a phone call, and He Chengjun immediately became anxious. Although he could explain the situation on the phone, he still sent He Yuwei over because he was worried about something wrong.
He Yuwei arrived in Jichai. While waiting for Sucheng to meet, she met with Chen Zunian, Huo Chang and other management teams respectively. She sent people to the dock to contact him. The financial staff she brought her stayed in the hotel and worked hard to organize the information.
The accusation of Wanyang Steel Structure Factory is not a secret. He Yuwei received the news immediately, but how to deal with it made the entire COSCO Shipping difficult.
In essence, their financial policies are reasonable and are in line with the domestic market conditions at this time. Everyone delayed payments within 90 days, and even defaulted on one year's payment. COSCO Shipping, with a 30-day to 90 days, was a good act in China in 1989. However, Wanyang Steel Structure Factory was not aimless. Their construction speed was more than twice as fast. The supply of Wanyang Steel Structure Factory increased by nearly three times, and the amount pressed on the account naturally increased by more than three times. Since it was adopted for special steel, central enterprises such as Baosteel or foreign steel companies, as suppliers, cannot allow small enterprises such as Wanyang Steel Structure Factory to default on the payment. Therefore, Wanyang Steel Structure Factory is really possible to dump it.
These small suppliers involve all aspects of COSCO Shipping. Given the current situation in China, it is very difficult to cultivate. If they collapse in large quantities, it will definitely affect the construction speed and quality of offshore drilling platforms.
He Yuwei knew that Sucheng would never tolerate the speed and quality of the drilling platform. Even from an economic perspective, the same is true. The daily rent of a drilling platform is as high as tens of thousands of dollars. One day it is built, tens of thousands of dollars can be saved. One day it starts to drill out oil can generate profits of hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Therefore, COSCO Shipping does its best to improve the speed to please Sucheng.
It would be too stupid to make things pleasing.
What worried He Yuwei was that although paying Wanyang Steel Structure Factory immediately was the easiest way, this method might not necessarily relieve Su Cheng. Moreover, this admitted to some extent the mistake of COSCO Shipping.
What she feared most was that Sucheng would divide the orders.
Not to mention the world, Asia alone, Japan and Singapore have strong offshore drilling platforms construction capabilities. South Korea's level is worse, but the price is not expensive than COSCO Shipping. For Dahua Industrial, which is not short of foreign exchange, there are too many choices.
However, this kind of problem cannot be solved even if He Yuwei wants to break her head.
Three days later, when he saw Su Cheng, He Yuwei looked quite guilty when she wine.
Sucheng has a chairman's office in Jichai, and it is decorated according to the modern standards he remembers. Wooden floors, large office desks, large view windows, and modern fax machines, printers, and computers are all available.
Standing on the bright and reflective floor on the window, He Yuwei couldn't say anything he was ready.
"Sit." Su Cheng did not express his anger. His attitude was the same as before, just a polite smile and a sharp look.
He Yuwei sat on the sofa with a small heart and then let out a sigh of relief.
"A lot of pressure?" Su Cheng suddenly laughed and sat in front of her.
The two of them were separated by the coffee table. The distance was much closer than they were just now. He Yuwei wiped her skirt with her hands, and she felt a little relaxed, and said, "Yes, we are very worried that it will affect Mr. Su's layout. If that happens, we will never be able to redeem it."
Su Cheng chuckled twice and said, "It's not that serious."
"That's good." Seeing that Su Cheng had not come up, He Yuwei's tone became much more relaxed, and she said: "Our COSCO Shipping has just completed the group reorganization as the main body of the merger. There are many shortcomings and imperfections. Please give me advice."
"You guys are doing well," Su Cheng said understandably: "If I were a leader of a state-owned enterprise and had just formed a group, I would not have paid back the money first and then paid benefits to employees. This is understandable."
"Long live understanding. Thank you, Dong Su." He Yuwei smiled like a flower and said a pretty fashionable word.
Su Cheng smiled and saw that she was not so nervous, so he asked: "What is the current form and time of payment for COSCO Shipping?"
"Unless foreign companies require payment first, they usually supply the goods first and then pay. In the world... the shortest 30 days are 90 days long. In addition, there are some industry regulations, such as cable companies supplying goods, we have to leave 10% of the payment. When the online test is normal, we will send 10% back. This is because we are afraid that there will be problems with their things."
The system of foreign enterprises was strict, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s, which had not yet begun to be localized. All systems were carried out in accordance with foreign countries, which was even less humane than foreign enterprises in later generations.
However, although they may lose some orders as a result, the strict system prevents system risks. Things like triangular debt will not affect them regardless of whether they break out. In this way, not only will they not lose profits, but they will actually reduce the chance of bad things like bankruptcy.
Su Cheng did not make any comments and said with a smile: "Then what do you think."
He Yuwei's legs were straight, and she felt like she was reporting to her father. She said seriously: "We COSCO Shipping is indeed not considering the issue of payment collection. In recent days, the Party Committee of the Group has also been considering adopting a better and more updated approach."
"oh."
"We... are preparing to learn the method of Dahua Industrial. We distinguish suppliers from non-key points, and then provide different support policies. For example, Wanyang Steel Structure Factory, which is difficult to replace in a short period of time, we will provide key support so that it will not be dumped." She said and explained: "Dahua Industrial pays COSCO Shipping according to the construction period, but our preparation and materials are not in a 30-day cycle, such as in the recent period, we are assembling the armor plate platform. Therefore, the amount of steel used has increased greatly, and Wanyang Steel Structure Factory will feel that it cannot hold on, and we will treat it differently in the future."
Seeing Su Cheng nodding, He Yuwei relaxed a little and said, "Our bulk procurement has contracts, such as pipeline contracts. It was negotiated with Sinopec Corporation, with a 180-day payment period, so he paid 2% more. If the payment period is advanced, the loss will be considerable. In fact, except for small and medium-sized enterprises, large state-owned enterprises will not collapse."
Sucheng couldn't help but smile. In the late 1980s, the laid-off wave was no longer new. However, this period was when companies that could not survive went bankrupt and laid off. The poor employees were always in charge of the government, and everyone thought that large state-owned enterprises could not fail.
Seeing Su Cheng's smile, He Yuwei's heart skipped and asked, "Dr. Su, what do you think?"
"I have an idea, let me explain it and review it. By the way, I will introduce you to me." Su Cheng stood up and opened the door adjacent to the office.
The one who came in was a slim and weak boy, who seemed to have graduated from school not long ago. He was wearing bulky vinyl glasses and white tape wrapped in the middle, probably because his glasses had broken.
He raised his head and only used the posture of supporting his eyes to cover up the white tape on his glasses when he saw He Yuwei.
"Zhang Chao is a graduate of MIT in the United States. He has a master's degree in supply chain management and logistics. He has worked in Shougang for several years. Director Zhong Zhigen introduced me." After Su Cheng introduced him to He Yuwei, he turned to introduce He Yuwei to Zhang Chao.
Since the reform and opening up, more and more international students have been sent by China. Every year, tens of thousands of people leave their hometowns and study abroad. Some people come back, some people come back and leave, and some people stay and don’t return. However, in terms of total number, more and more returnees are coming.
Zhang Chao is a man who comes and goes back. MIT's supply chain major is the best in the world, but it has no market in China and is actually not widely available in the United States. Therefore, except for studying in the ivory tower, Zhang Chao can hardly find any suitable job.
When Su Cheng asked to find someone in the supply chain in Dahua Laboratory, Zhong Zhigen immediately thought of Zhang Chao.
This weak young man, who was very decisive and headed straight to the motherland, as if he was worried that Su Cheng would change his mind. He came to Dahua Industrial without even discussing treatment, and then he was in time to see He Yuwei.
Zhang Chao's appearance is much younger than his actual age, so that He Yuwei became suspicious and said curiously: "You are a teenager who graduated from college."
The natural negative answer obtained.
He Yuwei looked at him with a surprised expression, and she had some thoughts in her mind.
Su Cheng thought to himself that Tang Monk probably looked like Zhang Chao, which would arouse the appetite of the fairies. Just as cylindrical animals and plants would arouse men's aphrodisiacs.
After waiting for a while, Su Cheng smiled and said, "Let Zhang Chao talk about the supply chain first. Our Dahua Industrial will make strategic adjustments based on this."
With just one sentence, He Yuwei woke up.
Zhang Chao also got rid of the dilemma of the meat stall, smiled and said, "Supply chain is the company's control over information, logistics and capital flow. It is a series of processes from the initial procurement of raw materials to suppliers producing spare parts, assembling products, and selling them to customers. This is called the supply chain. Therefore, the supply chain is born, and what we need to do is to optimize the supply chain."
He Yuwei once again entered a state of loss of mind when she heard "control of logistics and capital flow", and her fear in her heart became even more serious.
