The hull of the liquefied natural gas ship in the dock has been completed, like a skyscraper lying down, with some engineering decorations on the outer edge to make it look a little more lively. .

Yan Xuecan led the way and introduced: "This is a new order from Singapore Shipping Group, temporarily named 'Ocean King', and it is expected to be launched within 3 months. Now it is working on the maintenance system of the liquid tank."

"Do it yourself?" Su Cheng asked deliberately.The power propulsion system, the transfer system of the ultra-low temperature cargo tank, and the maintenance system of the ultra-low temperature liquid cargo tank are the three core technologies of the LNG ship, which condenses the most cutting-edge technology of modern industry.An LNG ship can be regarded as a high-tech expo park, and whenever a new technology appears in the scientific community, there are always shipyards trying to apply it to their own ships at the fastest speed.

The low-pressure diesel engine jointly developed by Dahua Industry 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 contrast, the power propulsion system of Dahua Industry is more advanced, and the latter two are slightly inferior.

However, the complexity of the LNG ship is not only a technical problem, but also an engineering problem. The maintenance system of the liquid tank is very difficult to do. Among them, more than 500 types of insulation boxes are required, and more than 5 insulation boxes are installed. The flatness of the plane is controlled at 1.2 millimeters per square meter, even if special measuring tools are used, it is extremely difficult to achieve this.

Therefore, while Dahua Shipbuilding received many orders, it also had to subcontract part of the work. At the beginning, in order to catch up with the construction period, it would ask foreign shipyards to help when it lost money. In this way, a lot of experience has been accumulated.

Yan Xuecan naturally knew the cause of the Sioux City problem, so he immediately raised his chest and said, "We did it ourselves. Our self-sufficiency rate for core projects is already 80%."

A self-sufficiency rate of 80% is not high in the projects of state-owned enterprises. When state-owned enterprises want to publicize, they always use 95% or 100% for publicity.

A cadre accompanying CSSC 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 CSSC to help us a lot."

"We can't do much. The training fee is too expensive, so it's hard to do." Qian Teng shook his head repeatedly.It takes half a year to a year to train a welder with a G certificate, and it costs more than [-] yuan. When many branches and tertiary companies are losing money and are about to be laid off, spending [-] yuan on an employee is a politically incorrect business. Behavior.

Moreover, although welders are the type of work that consumes the most on LNG ships, they are not the only type of work. The training prices for other positions are only high or not low. Considering it with a less sunny mentality, it is not easy for an institution like a state-owned enterprise to allocate training places fairly and transparently.

The secretary who was accompanying Rong Shangguo had a better understanding of Dahua Shipbuilding's personnel allocation, so he did some silent calculations and said, "Dahua Shipbuilding has sent people to train since last year, right? Are there three or four batches coming back?"

"Four batches." Yan Xuecan smiled.

"Then there are at least 500 people. You still have to train yourself, isn't that enough?"

"The workload on the ship is very heavy. We all work in shifts. If there are two shifts a day, there will be not enough people."

"Two shifts a day, 12 hours per shift? It's really a full workload." The secretary was very disappointed that he didn't help to come up with an idea.

Yan Xuecan said with a chuckle: "There are two shifts a day, each shift is 8 hours, and work is still suspended in the middle of the night."

"why?"

"Some technical requirements are still relatively high. If you do it late at night, it's even less worthwhile to rework."

While speaking, several people had already entered the cabin of the lng ship.

There is a staff responsible for quality inspection at the door, supervising them to change their clothes, and then walking inside, you can see a special shed, like a biochemical protection, which tightly covers the work area.

The clothes of Su Cheng and others are also full body protection, not only the face is blocked, gloves are also essential.

While leading the way, Yan Xuecan explained with a smile: "The requirements in the cabin are relatively strict, and many materials cannot be wetted, so the temperature and humidity must be controlled, and the hands cannot directly touch the materials. You see, these gloves are made of sheepskin. It is very handy and does not affect the work."

Entering the working area, you can see that many welders are busy, even if they saw Yan Xuecan and his party, they did not stop.Their welding speed is not fast, but they are very careful. Someone in front does the welding, and someone in the back does the inspection.

"The liquid cargo tank of a ship is the place where liquefied natural gas is loaded. As long as one solder joint is not in place, it is equivalent to planting a time bomb. At that time, the LNG ship full of natural gas will leak slightly, and the result will be ship destruction. If it is in the port Loading and unloading is even more serious. In theory, the explosion of a liquefied natural gas ship may lose a city." Yan Xuecan said, shaking his fingers, and said softly: "Do you hear the music? This is for everyone to work To relax and maintain a good mood, according to regulations, when making invar steel parts for lng ships, music must be accompanied by workers."

"In this way, there will be no other sources of noise nearby." Qian Teng and others had worked as workers before, and instantly understood the difficulty.

Yan Xuecan nodded and said, "So the working hours must be properly arranged."

"In this case, wouldn't it be a pity to waste the time in the middle of the night? We should do some mobilization to encourage these workers who have completed the training to work longer hours and develop their style." Rong Shangguo's secretary thought naturally: " You can make requirements in the contract before training, and it is estimated that there are quite a few people who are willing."

The training fee of at least 1 yuan is equivalent to the annual salary of an employee of a state-owned enterprise. The salary increase brought about by this is of great significance. It can be said that any slightly normal requirements of the pre-training contract will be agreed by the trained workers Yes, even if the request is not so normal, it is estimated that many workers will be willing.

There are not many such opportunities to improve oneself, let alone direct benefits such as going abroad, promotion, and salary increase.

However, Dahua Industrial's style is not the case.In other words, what state-owned enterprises can do, formalized private enterprises cannot.

Yan Xuecan was amused by the so-called "promotion style" of the big secretary, coughed hard twice, and said: "The technical requirements of LNG ships are too high. According to the installation requirements, all workers have to check their health before embarking on the ship. , rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, or even a bad mood, you can’t work, let alone those who don’t have a good rest, so unless the number of people we train is more than twice the current number, we basically can’t work late at night.”

Extending work is one thing, and naturally it is even more undesirable.

The big secretary was a little embarrassed, and said with a chuckle: "It can reduce the work intensity of the workers, which is naturally excellent..."

"Mr. Rong." Su Cheng turned his head to uncover the topic, and said: "Dahua Shipbuilding has recently purchased some machines, and plans to expand a general factory and multiple supporting factories. If CSSC is interested, we will It will be much cheaper to make a purchase plan together.”

In one sentence, Rong Shangguo was trapped in it, and he asked softly, "How much is Dahua going to invest?"

"Around 3 million US dollars." When Dahua Shipbuilding first started LNG ships, the capital was 3 million US dollars.Of course, the U.S. dollar in 94 was still relatively cheap, as you can see from the price of crude oil. The same industrial equipment in 14 would cost hundreds of millions of dollars at least.

However, although Rong Shangguo is the general manager, he does not have such a large authority, he hesitated for a moment, and could only say: "Let's think about it."

In fact, CSIC cannot afford so much money.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it can't expand. Since the 80s, CSIC has not invested much.However, to provide support for Dahua Shipbuilding, it must catch up with the development speed of Dahua Shipbuilding, otherwise, the outsourcing will be less and less, and the profit will be lower and lower.

In other words, once Dahua Shipbuilding expands, CSIC will 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 no one else was paying attention, he whispered to his secret: "Look at the ports, docks, and warehouses that we have suspended, and estimate the price."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary knew what he meant as soon as he turned his head, and he was quite excited.Most of the out-of-service ports and warehouses were obtained by staking land in the early years. There are a lot of sunken assets. It would be great if they could be exchanged for cash and equipment.
