The hull of the LNG ship in the dock has been completed, like a skyscraper lying down. There are some engineering decorations on the outer edge to make it look lively.
Yan Xuecan led the way and introduced: "This is a new order from Singapore Shipping Group. It is temporarily named 'Ocean King'. It is expected to be launched within 3 months. We are currently working on the maintenance system of the liquid warehouse."
"Do you want to do it yourself?" Su Cheng asked specifically. The power propulsion system, the ultra-low temperature cargo tank transfer system, and the ultra-low temperature cargo tank maintenance system are the three core technologies of the LNG ship, embodying the most cutting-edge technology in modern industry. An LNG ship can be regarded as a high-tech expo park, and whenever a new technology emerges in the scientific community, there are always shipyards trying to apply it on their own ships as quickly as possible.
The low-pressure diesel engine jointly developed by Dahua Industrial and Atlantic Shipyard solved the problem of the power propulsion system, and the technology purchased from South Korea solved the remaining two core technologies. In comparison, Dahua Industrial's power propulsion system is more advanced, while the latter two are slightly inferior.
However, the complexity of LNG ships is not only technical problems, but also engineering problems. The maintenance system of the liquid tank is very difficult. Among them, the discharge of insulating boxes alone requires more than 500 types. After the installation of more than 50,000 insulating boxes, The flatness of the surface is controlled to 1.2 mm per square meter. Even using special measuring tools, it is extremely difficult to achieve this.
Therefore, while Dahua Shipbuilding received many orders, it also had to subcontract some of its work, initially. In order to catch up with the construction deadline, even if they lose money, they will also ask foreign shipyards to help. Workers in the shipping industry also use this method. I have accumulated a lot of experience.
Yan Xuecan naturally knew the cause of Su City's problems, and immediately raised his chest and said: "We did it ourselves. Our current self-sufficiency rate for core projects is already 80%."
The self-sufficiency rate of 80% is not high among state-owned enterprise projects. When state-owned enterprises want to publicize, they always use 95% or 100% for publicity.
A cadre accompanying China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation asked: "What are the main obstacles to the continued improvement of the self-sufficiency rate?"
"The number of skilled workers is still not enough." Yan Xuecan smiled and said: "We still need help from China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation in this regard."
¡°There¡¯s not much we can do, and the training fees are too expensive. It¡¯s difficult to do.¡± Qian Teng shook his head repeatedly. It takes half a year to a year to train a G-certified welder and costs more than 200,000 yuan. This is at a time when many branches and tertiary industry companies are losing money and are about to be laid off. Spending $200,000 on an employee is politically incorrect business practice.
Moreover, although welders are the most frequently used type of work on LNG ships, they are not the only type of work. The price of training for other positions is only high but not low. If it is not a private enterprise, state-owned enterprises will only provide training in this area if the economic conditions are good. Considering it from a less sunny perspective, it is not easy for institutions like state-owned enterprises to allocate training quotas fairly and transparently. of.
The chief secretary who accompanied Rong Shangguo had a better understanding of Dahua Shipbuilding¡¯s personnel allocation and made a silent calculation. Said: "Dahua Shipbuilding has sent people for training since last year, right? Are there three or four batches of people coming back now?"
"Four batches." Yan Xuecan smiled.
"That's at least 500 people. You still need to train yourself. Isn't it enough?"
"The workload on the ship is very heavy. We all work shifts. If we do two shifts a day, there won't be enough people."
"Two shifts a day, one shift for 12 hours? It's really a full workload." The secretary was disappointed that he didn't help come up with ideas.
Yan Xuecan chuckled and said: "There are two shifts a day, each shift lasts 8 hours. Work still stops late at night."
"Why?"
"Some technical requirements are relatively high. If you do it late at night, rework is not worth it."
While talking, several people had already entered the cabin of the LNG ship.
There are staff responsible for quality inspection at the door, supervising them to change clothes, and walking inside, you can see a special shed, which is like a biochemical protection, covering the work area tightly.
The clothes of Su Cheng and others are also full-body protective. Not only are their faces covered, but their gloves are also indispensable.
Yan Xuecan led the way and explained with a smile: "The requirements in the cabin are relatively strict. Many materials cannot touch water, so the temperature and humidity must be controlled, and hands cannot directly touch the materials. You see, these gloves are all sheepskin The workmanship is very considerate and does not affect work.¡±
When you enter the work area, you can see many welders busy. Even when they saw Yan Xuecan and his party, they did not stop. Their welding speed is not very fast, but they are very careful. There are people in the front doing welding, and there are people behind doing inspections.
¡°The cargo tank of the ship is where liquefied natural gas is loaded. As long as one solder joint is not in place, it is equivalent to burying a time bomb.At that time, the LNG ship loaded with natural gas had a slight leak, and the result was a shipwreck and loss of life. It would be even more serious if it was being loaded and unloaded at the port. In theory, an explosion of a LNG ship could cost a city. " Yan Xuecan shook his finger and said softly: "Did you hear the music? This is to allow everyone to relax and maintain a good mood while working. According to regulations, music must accompany the operators when making LNG ship invar steel parts. "
"In this case, there can be no other noise sources nearby." Qian Teng and others had all worked as workers before, and they instantly understood the difficulty.
Yan Xuecan nodded and said: "So working hours must be properly arranged."
"In this case, wouldn't it be a pity to waste late night time? Or we should do some mobilization to encourage these workers who have completed the training to extend their working hours and promote their style." Rong Shangguo's chief secretary naturally thought: " You can make the requirement in the contract before training, and I guess there are many people who are willing.¡±
The training fee of at least 200,000 yuan is equivalent to the current salary of a state-owned enterprise employee for more than 20 years. The resulting salary increase is of great significance. It can be said that any slightly normal requirements of the pre-training contract will not be met by the trained workers. Everyone will agree to it. Even if the request is not so normal, it is estimated that many workers will be willing.
There are not many opportunities to improve yourself, not to mention the direct benefits of going abroad, getting promoted, raising salary, etc.
However, Dahua Industrial¡¯s style is different. In other words, what state-owned enterprises can do, formalized private enterprises cannot do.
Yan Xuecan was amused by the secretary's so-called "promoting style". He coughed twice and said: "The technical requirements of the LNG ship are too high. According to the installation requirements, all workers must have their bodies checked before boarding the ship for construction." , the heartbeat is too fast, the blood pressure is too high, or even if you are in a bad mood, you cannot work, let alone if you are not well rested. Therefore, unless we train more than twice the number of people now, we basically cannot work late at night."
Extending the work is one thing, and naturally it is even more undesirable.
The big secretary was a little embarrassed, and he laughed and said: "It can reduce the work intensity of workers, which is naturally excellent"
"Mr. Rong." Su Cheng turned around and dismissed the topic, saying: "Dahua Shipbuilding has recently purchased some machinery and is preparing to expand a main factory and multiple supporting factories. If CSSC is interested, we will It can be much cheaper if we make purchasing plans together.¡±
With one sentence, Rong Shangguo was trapped and asked softly: "How much is Dahua prepared to invest?"
"About 300 million. U.S. dollars." When Dahua Shipbuilding first started making LNG ships, its capital was only 300 million U.S. dollars. Of course, the U.S. dollar was still quite strong in 1994. Just look at the price of crude oil. The same industrial equipment would have cost at least 2 billion U.S. dollars in 2014.
However, although Rong Shangguo is the general manager, he does not have such great authority. He hesitated for a moment and could only say: "Let's think about it."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Chinese Shipbuilding Industry Corporation cannot actually afford it.
Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter if it can¡¯t expand. China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation has not invested much since the 1980s. However, to provide supporting services to Dahua Shipbuilding, we must keep up with the development speed of Dahua Shipbuilding. Otherwise, less and less outsourcing will be done, and profits will become lower and lower.
In other words, once Dahua Shipbuilding expands, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation must also cooperate with the expansion.
But where does the money come from? Rong Shangguo thought about the current poverty of the National Development and Reform Commission and began to consider whether there were other solutions.
For example, transfer more shares?
Or, sell some fixed assets? Rong Shangguo thought for a long time, and when others were not paying attention, he whispered to his secret: "Look at how many ports, docks, warehouses, etc. we have suspended, and estimate the price."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary understood what he meant as soon as he thought about it, and he was quite excited. Most of the decommissioned port terminals or warehouses were acquired through land staking in the early years. Many of them are sunk assets. It would be great if they could be exchanged for cash and equipment.
