super energy power

When Sioux City returned to Dahua Shipbuilding, the first batch of five low-tonnage ships had been launched and delivered.

Most of the second batch of five experimental ships has been completed.

The plate processing workshop, plane section production line, standard section assembly area, hull section assembly platform, trailers, overhead cranes, downstream shipbuilding stations and other shipyard institutions are arranged along the Huangpu River...

New or old equipment is continuously transported from the dock, and then installed along Dahua's factory layout.

Both Dahua Gas Company and Jichai Engine Factory sent hundreds of people to help.The 0 senior technicians promised by Jiangnan Shipyard are also busy on the front line of production.There is no problem with their technology, let alone skilled workers with ten years of experience, they are also good in foreign countries. At this time, throwing them to Dahua Shipbuilding makes it easier for the workshops.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere inside Dahua Shipbuilding is quite dignified.

The fastest 250 days, that is, 8 months to build a ship, is a common occurrence in foreign countries, but for Chinese shipping companies, it is never even thought about.

Put it in the journal of the college, and when the ship is made, it will immediately "fill the gaps in the country", at least enough for two professors and five associate professors.

Through Li Cang, Sioux City invited more than a dozen shipping experts from colleges and universities, and they actually had the same idea.Su Cheng acquiesced that they could write their own work in their own articles, and those experts who usually play big names immediately looked like thin scalpers.

Dahua Shipbuilding's own engineers don't need to publish articles to evaluate their titles, and the distribution of these benefits to colleges and universities will not affect Dahua, but it can attract more people to help.

In heavy industrial production such as the shipbuilding industry, there are many technical experts who are not idle.

A ship is a set of economical engineering. Speaking of it, the design of a table can find a theoretical basis.In reality, there is nothing wrong with a little more theoretical guidance.The media of later generations always like to describe the products made in China as lack of humanization. In fact, the lack of humanization means the lack of professional designers and professional theoretical engineers.The things made by Apple and Sony are really beautiful. They are piled up by countless designers. It is also a button. Foreign designers spend 0 hours on the design, which means that the company pays a salary of more than [-] US dollars for half a year. , in exchange for just a button.The budget of a domestic enterprise to make a product may be more than one million yuan, and the result is naturally different.

Putting it on a ship, the things made by 10 designers and engineers are naturally rougher than those made by 100 designers and engineers.

On the other hand, the design of the process method of the production process is quite helpful for the increase of productivity.

Laying steel plates first and then welding sounds simple, but which board to lay first and which place to weld first may have different results.

Especially in places where the hull is narrow, welding robots cannot be used, and welders cannot even reach in.In this case, thinking about welding beforehand can reduce a lot of trouble.

Sioux City is running around the shipyard, Dahua laboratory and Dahua Group headquarters day and night.Fortunately, other companies have stepped into the formalities. Seitan Oilfield, Dahua Gas Company, and Dahua Transportation Company all have a complete organizational system and management team. Although Dahua Petrochemical is in the process of further expansion, the steps and procedures Everything is certain, there is no part that Sioux City must participate in.Not to mention the joint venture Debon water heater, Shu Hao has already developed it into a cash cow, and they deal more with the Shenzhen Development Bank.

Sioux City contributed all the time saved to these 9 ships.

Their total price may be only 5 million US dollars, and the profit may be less than 1 million yuan, but they represent a door. Once completed, Dahua Shipbuilding will not only be a supplier of offshore oil equipment, but also a major supplier of civil ships .

After all, a shipbuilding company that can complete 9 tons in nine months is enough to be proud of itself, and this will also be the best qualification of Dahua Shipbuilding.

But not everyone is optimistic about the future of Dahua Shipbuilding.

In China in 1993, there was no such thing as the Internet.The only way for people to obtain foreign advice is the mass media, what is said on TV, what is said in the newspaper, and everyone knows what they say.Better colleges and universities can occasionally get some periodicals and TV clips from abroad, but they are only popular internally.

Even the senior cadres of the country, if they are not looking for it deliberately, it is difficult to determine the level of industrial development in foreign countries. They only know that they are better than the Chinese themselves.

Against this background, Dahua bid for ships that foreigners dare not bid for, which not only brought cheers from the shipyard workers, but also concerns from the suppliers.

If Dahua Shipyard fails to deliver on schedule, the compensation can make it go bankrupt directly.At that time, if the Dahua Group refuses to save it and allows it to go bankrupt, what should we do?There is no need to renege on the debt, and many suppliers are unwilling to accept the payment in arrears.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of approaching the end of the year, many suppliers came to the door one after another, demanding to settle the previous payments.

Among them, there are not only small suppliers who owe hundreds of thousands of dollars, but also large enterprises who owe tens of millions of dollars.In the first two days, the supply chain department didn’t take it seriously. Dahua’s cash flow is abundant, and it has always been very happy to give money. If there is a request from a supplier, it is almost time to pay.

However, Zhang Chao finally woke up when the payment application for the undue payable reached [-]% in just a few days.

While arranging for his subordinates to understand the situation, he drove to the shipyard to report the situation to Sioux City.

Recently, Sioux City works in Dahua Laboratory or Dahua Group headquarters in the morning, and works on-site at the shipyard in the afternoon.

The shipbuilding process is complicated, and the preparations in the early stage alone are a headache, especially the procurement and other content. If Sioux Cheng is present, he can directly review and sign, which can obviously speed up the progress a lot.

Zhang Chao drove by himself, and then went straight along the road by the river, and when he encountered a crowded place, he shouted: "Is Chairman Su here?"

Not long after, I saw Su Cheng.

Several engineers are surrounding Sioux City to determine the mechanical equipment.Each of them has written a report, which is being debated.

Li Cang and several members of the procurement committee sat on the horses, surrounded the city, and listened to their explanations.

Although Zhang Chao is an overseas student, he still feels stuffy when he hears terms such as "emergency fire pump", "weld size", and "typical air hole".

He stood there for 2 minutes, then winked at Yang Ming desperately, pulled him back, and talked about the payment application.

Yang Ming was startled first, and asked, "Is it a run on?"

"We are not a bank, so we are not afraid of a run." Zhang Chao said in an erratic voice, "I am worried about other things."

"what?"

Zhang Chao didn't want to talk about it, but he had to say: "There are so many suppliers, it's okay if they are independent, I'm afraid they are united. Recently, more than 300 suppliers have applied for payment. Once they stop selling, Dahua Industrial’s supply chain is half paralyzed.”

"What about the shipyard? Will the shipyard be affected?" Yang Ming, as the director of the office, was able to participate in confidential matters, and knew that the most important thing for Dahua Industrial Group at present was the shipping company.Other projects can withstand short-term labor pains. If the shipyards that are working overtime to catch up with the progress are in labor pains, they must die of pain.

Zhang Chao nodded slowly, and said, "The supply chain of the shipyard is the most fragile and weak when it is first established."

"Wait a minute, I'll inform Director Su." Yang Ming turned around and whispered to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng, who has been the chairman of the board for 4 years, looked unchanged. After dealing with the matter at hand, he got up and said with a smile: "Let's take a break."

Leaving the engineer arguing with the finance department, Su Cheng simply took Zhang Chao to the riverside and asked with the wind blowing, "How much is the total amount?"

"Dahua Shipbuilding has 1.2 million. It's only been a few days. I'm afraid that other companies will also be affected." Yang Ming said his guess.

Su Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Which company has the largest amount?"

"Shougang's steel structure, 4 months ago."

"How long is the contract payment period?"

Flying months, and four more months.They were in a hurry, and the sales director of the other party was sitting in my office. Zhang Chao said with a serious face: "I'm afraid of hitting a wolf with a stick."If I don't give it, I'm afraid that people will say that Dahua has no money, and it might turn into a run on us.What’s more, those who ask for money are our suppliers, and what others want is their own money, but it’s just too late.” If I give it, I’m also afraid, and I’m afraid that the wait-and-see merchants will flock to ask for money, no matter whether it’s useful or not. , if you can hold the money in your hand, I'm afraid no one will refuse it."

Payment terms of six months to one year are the norm in the industry.Due to the long payment period in heavy industry, it takes about a year to produce ships from steel and other materials. Shipowners often only pay a deposit and pay when they see the ship.The shipyard will naturally have to wait for the other party to pay before paying the upstream factory.

This system will not undergo slight changes until the Internet age, but it will not become a drug trading model where one hand pays and one hand delivers goods.

If Dahua pays the upstream company in advance, and the downstream company does not refuse to pay, it will be a situation of sitting and eating, and if you are not careful, you will be grinded to death.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Su Cheng decided: "Payments that are due, and those that are not due cannot be paid. You must follow the contract. Dahua Industrial not only has Dahua Shipbuilding, but also Dahua Petrochemical. Well. If we pay, and BASF also asks to pay the multi-billion-dollar equipment fee, wouldn’t we have to sit on wax.”

"I understand." Yang Ming got the instruction, calmed down, and said, "I'm afraid that bad rumors will spread."

Su Cheng thought about it, and said: "The Chinese New Year is still one month away, how about this, you should reply to the supplier first, and we will pay dividends next week. Yang Ming, let the finance department prepare cash."

"Cash? That's..." Yang Ming was startled, halfway through speaking, and lowered his voice, "That's hundreds of millions of dollars."

"It takes more to be effective." Su Cheng's leader said: "In terms of safety, there is always a way to solve it."

Dahua's dividend system gives generous rewards to employees with "special contributions". Its nature is similar to equity incentives, but it is mainly aimed at non-management managers. The amount is calculated based on the group's profit in the previous year.As long as the company's profit exceeds the hospital, it will pay dividends, and the amount is about Wei Wei's excess.Based on the income of Dahua Industrial Group in 1992, the amount of money was not only hundreds of millions of dollars, but hundreds of millions of dollars, far exceeding the payment applied by the suppliers.

Zhang Chao was the first to understand, and said happily, "Let them see if we have money. I will reply to them immediately and invite them to our Spring Festival Gala."
