Four hundred and thirtieth chapters a great thing(1/2)
Remember [--Net] in one second, providing you with wonderful novel readings.
If Dahua Industrial's ship delivery was still expected by the ship crowd, then the Singapore Marine Transport Company, as the ship owner, had never considered this.
No employee of Singapore Marine Transportation Company once thought about what would happen if Party B had only taken less than 6 months to finish the work.
Who would have thought of such a thing?
Therefore, when Dahua Industrial's official letter was handed to the owner of the first ship, in the office of Singapore Ocean Company, the other party thought it was joking.
It’s a tough time to get a job done in 9 months. Is it a smart cargo ship produced in 6 months?
Although it is a very tense contract, it is a normal contract after all. Which shipyard will use a world record to break the world record to build such a ship? How many times the workers and equipment does it take? Isn’t Dahua Shipyard a no?
The project manager in charge of this project was furious when he saw the official letter and called Shanghai in a fierce manner, shouting in anger: "What are you kidding? What are you going to want? We want a 10,000-ton ship, not a children's toy..."
The employee of the Marketing and Sales Department of Dahua Group who answered the phone smiled unharshly and said, "That's right, the 30,000-ton cargo ship you need has been completed 88 days in advance according to the contract requirements. Please send someone to inspect it. This is a formal notice."
"What a joke..." With the same sentence, the ship manager's non-standard Cantonese language has become suspicious: "It's only 200 days, how did it be done?"
"Dahua Industrial has adopted the latest technology and completed the manufacturing work ahead of schedule with quality and quantity..." Here we followed the trend and promoted it.
There is one advantage for ships with very short contract periods. They do not restrict the technology used by shipyards. Even new technologies are allowed to be used as long as they can meet quality and safety requirements without reporting to the ship owner separately. Those ships with a ship duration of two or three years are not that easy to talk about, and some ship owners' requirements will be specific to the layout and materials in the cabin.
In the case of poor information, the ship manager suspiciously ended the call and then arranged personnel to prepare to pick up the ship.
Out of distrust of the new ship, the ship manager sent 60 engineers to Shanghai for a comprehensive inspection. He himself brought a lawyer and prepared two sets of documents.
One set is a document that Dahua Industrial violated the contract and ordered to amend it. The other set is a document that Dahua Industrial complies with the contract and collected ships normally - but Mr. Li Jiawen, the ship manager, really did not take it seriously.
There will definitely be problems with the ship made in 200 days.
With this idea, Li Jiawen brought engineers ten times as good as normal conditions. The instruments they carried, such as flaw detectors, exceeded the needs of normal inspection equipment and obviously had distrust.
When Su Cheng heard the report, Yun Danfeng Qing acquiesced their behavior.
The giant ship is ready in 6 months. If you want to win trust, you can only accept more rigorous review. Dahua Heavy Industry is mentally prepared for this.
If the inspection is passed, this is the best publicity and will reduce the inspection of the subsequent 8 ships. In fact, in order to ensure that the inspection is passed, Dahua Group has already conducted a round of self-inspection. There are good results on the main projects.
Li Jiawen was not polite either. With Su Cheng's consent, he immediately got on the boat for inspection, and then never came down again.
Engineers at Singapore Marine Transportation Company, including Chinese, European, and Latin American, all inspected ships day and night.
Because the time for collecting the ship is limited, Li Jiawen does not want to miss an inch of steel plate.
The 30,000-ton flexible cargo ship, 186 meters long and 285 meters wide, means that the area of one floor is 5,330 square meters. Although the six-layer decks vary in size, combined with the internal area of each cabin, it is actually impossible to "not miss one inch of steel plate" without missing it.
Even through random inspections, 60 engineers were tired and couldn't straighten their backs.
However, what really made Li Jiawen unacceptable was that the freighter passed the inspection and the excellent rate exceeded that of ordinary ships.
"What a joke!" When Li Jiawen said this, he had similar expressions to the engineers in front of him.
They are ready to admit that they can indeed build a flexible cargo ship in 200 days.
However, the quality of this flexible cargo ship far exceeded their expectations.
One advantage of the giant total section shipbuilding method over the section shipbuilding method is that the construction of the total section can be more refined than the section and requires fewer places to weld. Although the difficulty has increased, the strength and mass of the ship have also increased.
If it is just a normal inspection, it may not be possible to find the similarities and differences. However, Li Jiawen took an unconventional inspection.
As a result, the various indicators of ships produced by the giant general section shipbuilding method become prominent.
Li Jiawen didn't want to believe it, so he went to Dahua's shipyard twice. After returning, he became taciturn.
This is the natural mood of an engineer when he sees revolutionary changes.
What he was once familiar with, what he had learned, what he was once good at, changed unexpectedly.
In the future, as a ship project manager, what standards will he use to judge a new ship?
Moreover, Dahua's ships were a bit too horrible.
Will the boss directly fall on his face when he sees the report?
Li Jiawen was in a mess of thoughts and looked at the information box on the desktop with a blank eyes.
"Or the report will be written according to the routine." Li Jiawen's deputy said understandingly: "Just report according to the format, and don't say anything else."
"How do you explain the 60 engineers and two nights of overtime work? We only conducted regular inspections and sent so many people on business trips. Could it be that they were here to travel?" Li Jiawen asked.
The deputy said carefully: "It's scary enough to finish 88 days in advance. If you write those indicators on, how can you think of it?"
"Our job is to report it truthfully." Li Jiawen seemed to figure it out, stretched his eyebrows and said, "Dahua has indeed completed the construction of the ship, and the quality of the ships built far exceeded our requirements."
"In that case, wouldn't it mean that Dahua Industrial spent 200 days to build a ship that others might not be able to build in a year? And the quality level in all aspects has reached the standards of warships?" The standard he mentioned was not about armor thickness, but purely industrial indicators.
Since it was Dahua's first ship and the total section shipbuilding method shared the pressure, under the excessive requirements of the factory, the various indicators of this ship did exceed ordinary civil transport ships.
Li Jiawen said helplessly: "That's the truth. You have also seen Dahua's shipyard. With their progress, do you think you can complete a ship within 200 days?"
Those who can come on stage are naturally grateful.
Under Zhang Chao's supply chain integration strategy, Dahua suppliers' dependence on Dahua is increasing day by day, and the concept of prosperity is becoming more and more in-depth.
Especially after the trust crisis some time ago, the suppliers left behind have become closer to Dahua. This does not mean that they only have Dahua as a customer, but that Dahua is increasing in their operating proportion.
Even if a factory has sales of 100 million yuan per year, as long as Dahua's orders exceed 30% and the profits exceed 30%, the supplier will almost be unable to leave Dahua Industrial's system. Because the investment in factories, equipment, and workers' labor is fixed, some equipment and factories are even specially designed for Dahua Industrial. If you leave Dahua Industrial's system, not only will these costs not be able to be recycled, but you will also have to bear continuous cost pressure.
They can't demolish the factory, sell equipment, or quit the excess workers... Even if they make up their minds to do so, a short period of time may cause the fragile factory to go bankrupt.
On the other hand, many suppliers do not directly supply Dahua Industrial. Their main orders may come from Dahua Industrial's suppliers. The complex relationship makes them more like an external factory of Dahua Industrial.
In fact, some Chinese who start their own businesses often choose such roles to start their own hard work.
Compared with Dahua's own factory, such suppliers have a slightly worse stability, but they are not inferior in terms of production capacity and quality. The enthusiasm that some entrepreneurs who work for themselves can burst out is enough to shame ordinary workers.
Sucheng's support for suppliers can be seen from the position of the ceremony.
However, except for the leaders of some large state-owned enterprises who are dissatisfied with their positions as private enterprises and their bosses, no one really pays attention to these things.
Everyone's eyes were staring at the ordinary black bulk cargo ship in front of them.
In the tune of the passionate athlete march, the ship slowly slid into the water.
More than a dozen workers stood at the stern of the boat, waved excitedly in the face of the cheers below.
Although they are the selected representatives of outstanding workers, there is no difference between modern and past in terms of obtaining a sense of honor.
Li Jiawen and others from Singapore were looking at the new ship that touched the water with enthusiasm, excitement, fanatical or admiration.
Beside them are the leaders of the China Shipbuilding Corporation such as Rong Shangguo.
The eyes of foreign engineers, both yellow, white and black, fell into Rong Shangguo's eyes, and there were mixed feelings.
Through the eyes of these people, the people in the middle ship seemed to suddenly realize how incredible it was to create a new wheel of 30,000 tons in 6 months.
When a miracle falls by your side, it is always easy to be ignored and always easy to be regarded as a matter of course.
But miracles are miracles after all.
Its uniqueness, its transcendence of the times, will eventually emit a dazzling light.
For ship industry insiders, it is not an exaggeration to praise such a beautiful ship in such a short time.
"We must seize the opportunity and get this technology." Rong Shangguo clenched his fists, as if he was making up his mind.
"Bang"
"Pai Pa".
The sound of the camera shutter is crisp and fluent.
Rong Shangguo looked back and found that he was a young reporter dressed in a fashionable manner.
Before he could come back to his senses, the other party jogged over first, bowed deeply, and shouted: "Hello, I am Kikuchi Shige, a reporter from Japan's Asahi Shimbun. Can you interview you?"
Foreign journalist!
He is in Chinese. He is quite skilled.
Rong Shangguo knew about the Asahi Shimbun, a famous leftist media in Japan. He is relatively close to China and South Korea in politics. Some time ago, he also received a certain award from the Chinese government.
Unexpectedly, I saw it here.
Chinese people in 1993 have not yet rejected the media's awareness. What's more, foreigners who speak Chinese can make the Chinese people feel good. Rong Shangguo put on his suit and asked with a smile: "What are you going to interview?"
"What do you think about Dahua Industrial's 6 months of building a 30,000-ton ship in a record-breaking manner?" Kikuchi asked in a very reasonable manner. After all, he was a foreign journalist and did not care about China's administrative level.
Rong Shangguo also started to wander in his mind as he heard the word "feelings".
Somehow, he suddenly remembered another ship.
The ocean-going ship "Dongfeng"!
The Dongfeng was designed and built by China and was the first ten-ton ocean freighter. It was launched on April 5, 1960.
Rong Shangguo will always remember that day.
The joy of that day, the singing and dancing of that day, the intense sweetness of that day.
That day was the most glorious day for the Jiangnan Shipyard.
That day, Rong Shangguo was 20 years old and was still a young man in the design department.
