- Making money is a skill, spending money is an art.
The ones that spend the most money in the world and should learn this art the most are government agencies. They often spend 10,000 yuan to do something that costs 1,000 yuan. If someone has objections, they spend another 10,000 yuan to investigate.
Financial institutions are the ones who are the best at spending money. In order to make money for themselves, unscrupulous bankers can always find ways to use one thousand yuan to do ten thousand yuan. Sometimes, they even use one thousand yuan to Don¡¯t want to spend it.
For most people, it is difficult to use one thousand yuan to do something worth ten thousand yuan, but sometimes it becomes easier to use ten million yuan to do something that can only be done with one hundred million yuan.
Su Cheng had many options for spending money, and in the end, he decided to use it for investment companies and Dahua Labs.
The measures to expand production that Huo Chang and others strongly advocated were rejected by Su Cheng without hesitation.
It is true that expanding production now can indeed earn a lot of profits for the company. From the perspective of future generations, pure large-scale industrial production can still make money until 2008. Moreover, as long as we survive the cold winter of the financial crisis, we can survive The factory is no more miserable than in previous years.
With the rate of return of Dahua Industrial¡¯s factories, investment in production can earn at least 20% profit every year, and its capacity is very large, and investment of 10 billion yuan or 50 billion yuan will not encounter bottlenecks.
However, considering human factors, Su City still rejected the profits and influence brought by expansion.
Labor costs were very cheap in 1994, but 20 years later, when the demographic dividend gradually disappears and the labor costs of workers rise, what will Dahua Industrial, which has expanded to hundreds of thousands of people, do?
Young workers who were around 20 years old in 1994 are 40 years old in 2014. If there is a reduction in production, large-scale layoffs will not only bring uneasiness to companies, but also the breakdown of countless families.
Su Cheng also does not have the confidence to lead hundreds of thousands or millions of people to survive the layers of sniping in the future. Because as a human being, he will not be like a machine. With a stable logical demand curve, both workers and company employees will always demand better treatment and benefits. In the period of economic upswing, it is not difficult to achieve this, but in the period of economic decline, it is not difficult to do so. It is difficult to maintain the needs of many people.
? American General Motors is a good example. They were once the largest companies in the world, with a market capitalization of hundreds of billions of dollars, higher than the gross national product of some small countries. However, although the General Motors Group, which has been around for a century, is still the most competitive player in the international market, it has a huge number of retired workers, especially retired workers with high salaries. It still leaves the entire group unable to make ends meet.
Chinese state-owned enterprises in the 1990s also had the same problem. When workers who entered the factory in the 1950s and 1960s began to retire in large numbers, no matter how good the monopoly was, they could not sustain this pure consumption.
Similar problems also occurred in Japan. When they were rejoicing because their company always served all members, the lost ten years and the lost twenty years slowly began to unfold. In the end, the large companies that survived did not dare to continue the previous merit-based system, and instead began to hire dispatched workers on a large scale, which was tantamount to giving up the protection of workers.
¡°This kind of unpredictable and ever-expanding man-made risks is something that not even a country can bear, so Sioux City is naturally very cautious. He knows that his management level is average, so he always tries his best to use his risk aversion ability.
Hiring fewer employees, hiring better employees, and constantly training your own employees is also a way for companies to avoid risks.
Even when the economic environment is bad. A small number of excellent employees will not become a huge burden. At the worst, we can also learn from companies like China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation to do outsourcing. In contrast, state-owned enterprises such as mining groups and light industry groups that have many employees but weak technical levels have a difficult time. It is not easy to rise.
Because of this, it is only Dahua Shipbuilding that has been expanding under Dahua Industrial.
Although the shipbuilding industry will encounter a great depression after 2007, LNG ships are still the crown jewel of the civilian shipbuilding industry until 2014, with full orders. Judging from China's situation, it is said to be the crown jewel of China's shipbuilding industry. There is nothing wrong with Mingzhu.
Its gold content is no less than that of an aircraft carrier.
If necessary, shipyards that can build LNG ships can basically be transformed into shipyards that build aircraft carriers. For example, France's Atlantique Shipyard, which sells technology to South Korea's Hyundai, is not only the patent holder of membrane-type LNG ships, but also the "Charles de Gaulle" ¡± aircraft carrier production shipyard.
Of course, from an economic point of view, aircraft carriers have a long construction cycle, high construction costs, many restrictions, and a small total number of orders, so they are not a very cost-effective production ship type. If the French Atlantique shipyard wants to point to the aircraft carrierWhen it comes to eating alone, the French military's equipment update rate cannot last even five years. It is almost a common method used by modern countries to accumulate technology in civilian shipyards and then build on a large scale when needed.
¡° Otherwise, if there is a long period of peace, companies that specialize in arms will go bankrupt. In these days and months, even tanks are rarely used in regional conflicts. Products such as aircraft carriers or destroyers are really not as good as selling tea eggs.
LNG ships are much happier.
The 1990s can be said to be the development period of the LNG industry. Everyone was working hard to build related industries and accumulate related technologies. However, the world's energy demand is so huge that the demand for liquefied natural gas will not be fully released in another 20 years, let alone more than ten years.
Under the guidance of the so-called green economy, liquefied natural gas will at least replace fuel oil in the field of industrial energy.
This means that more than half of today¡¯s oil tankers will become LNG ships.
Dahua Shipbuilding¡¯s LNG orders are also piling up.
Especially after returning to China with a full load from Sioux City, shipowners from all over the country knew that Dahua Shipbuilding at least had the money to pay liquidated damages, so they all placed orders for LNG ships from the shipping industry group.
General: Yan Xuecan of Dahua Shipbuilding was also very motivated and immediately submitted a report to Suzhou City, requesting the purchase of a large number of machines.
¡°It¡¯s difficult to build a behemoth like an LNG ship. Just think of it as a horizontal Transformer, especially the welding with the largest workload, with a total length of more than 130 kilometers. Even if it is operated by migrant workers in small rural factories, the welding length of 130 kilometers can exhaust a factory. people. On LNG ships with strict requirements, welding robots are usually used to weld in places that are easy to weld. Hundreds of G-certified welders do the rest of the places where welding robots are not suitable. That's it, it's going to take another year or two to complete, it's such a long time to work. There are so many requests that I could write a cabinet full of instructions.
As for the more than 50,000 wooden insulating boxes of different specifications that are as fine as silk, it can make ordinary factories despair.
Without extremely high product control capabilities, just one wooden box can take an ordinary shipyard several years to make.
Unlike bulk carriers, which are big and rough things, LNG ships are filled with liquefied natural gas. It always maintains a low temperature of minus 160 degrees, and any accidental leakage will be fatal.
In order to improve the construction efficiency of LNG ships, a large number of professional machines are invented and manufactured every year. They are not necessary to use, but if you use them, the speed will be improved and the quality of the boat will be better protected. corresponding. The cost will be higher.
In the past, although Yan Xuecan had accumulated several LNG ship orders worth a total of US$2 billion, he still did not dare to spend huge sums of money to purchase a large number of machinery. Because order fulfillment and payment are staged, the cost of advance purchasing is not.
When Su Cheng came back from London with a large sum of money, Yan Xuecan couldn't bear it anymore and stayed at the group headquarters almost every day.
He has relatively junior qualifications and cannot directly go to Su Cheng to ask for funds like the executives of Jichai.
Yan Xuecan went around a circle and found Rong Shangguo, the general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.
Today¡¯s China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is a quarter-owned by Dahua Industrial. Therefore, it is one of the affiliated companies of Dahua Industrial. General Manager Rong Shangguo also often comes to Dahua Industrial headquarters.
And because of his status as a state-owned enterprise, Su Cheng has always been very polite to Rong Shangguo.
With Rong Shangguo¡¯s intervention, Yan Xuecan¡¯s report could be delivered to Su Cheng in a better manner. Within a few days, someone from the purchasing committee contacted Yan Xuecan.
At this moment. Su Cheng was still busy in the capital, but he left all such matters to his subordinates.
It wasn¡¯t until a month later that Su Cheng had time to inspect each factory one by one.
¡°And his first stop is Dahua Shipbuilding Industry.
As a shipping company that was once a joint venture, then privatized as a sole proprietor, and then acquired foreign companies, Dahua Shipbuilding still retains some of the culture of Western companies, which is quite special among the several branches of Dahua Industrial.
This is also related to the fact that many employees of Dahua Shipbuilding have received training from Western companies, especially ordinary workers. Due to strict operating requirements, they have to go abroad for six months to one year of training. Therefore, when they stand in the factory, they immediately You can feel an atmosphere completely different from that of Chinese state-owned enterprises.
Workers in a hurry, smiling and confident employees, and a large number of mechanized operations all overwhelmed the suppliers who had never seen this scene.
Even Rong Shangguo actually rarely has the opportunity to come to Dahua Shipbuilding Industry.
This time, taking advantage of the inspection work in Sioux City,?Rong Shangguo simply dragged a group of senior executives from China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation along, euphemistically speaking, he accompanied them, but in reality, they were just observing and comparing.
After all, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation will not be satisfied with being a sub-section factory or a main-section factory. They also want to do the final assembly, so as to eat the biggest cake.
Especially seeing that Yan Xuecan can also pick orders, this is even more exciting for them.
Yan Xuecan was waiting excitedly at the door of the shipyard, accompanied by Li Cang, a shipping industry expert who had recently decided to join Dahua Industrial full-time.
And behind him, the secretary was holding a thick piece of ship information.
Dahua Industrial's first batch of LNG ships have been delivered and are being carried by Dahua Maritime Transportation Company. The results are good. The LNG ships they are building now are orders obtained by Sioux City at the French Industrial Equipment Exhibition. In the middle, Dahua The shipbuilding industry also has orders for dozens of ordinary ships to be completed, including orders from Singapore Shipping Group, which is participating in the bidding together with China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.
However, Yan Xuecan did not introduce the construction of ordinary ships. Sioux City's time is limited, and Yan Xuecan does not want to use these boring projects to weaken the development focus of Dahua Shipbuilding Industry.
Because they had participated in related projects, the people at China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation were waiting to hear the introduction with their ears pricked up, feeling quite puzzled.
After all, in their opinion, cargo ships with a capacity of over 10,000 tons can already be discussed. How could these cargo ships with tens of thousands of tons or even hundreds of thousands of tons not be introduced?
