After the inspection team was over, they returned first. Minister Yue unexpectedly stayed in Tianjin, saying that he was unwell and he had to rest for a while.

Su Cheng knew that he wanted to avoid the political storm brewing in the capital.

This is not surprising. Almost all domestic cadres at the department level and above have come from the movement era, and their political sensitivity is beyond doubt. Everyone can see the domestic political crisis. The only thing you have not guessed is the policy changes in Western society towards China.

It can be said that Western society around 1989 had undergone fundamental changes to China's foreign policy. Before, China had bought Black Hawk helicopters from the United States and was purchasing F16 fighter jets. After that, the fighter jet contracts naturally turned yellow, and other unfinished contracts also encountered problems.

But before the incident happened, there were very few people who could judge the international situation. Su Xing was naturally not listed.

He also stayed in Tianjin, calling it "inspection of the market", but in fact he was staying with Minister Yue, worried about Su Cheng and others' mistakes for any wrong moves.

However, in Sucheng's view, if the overall situation is determined, why do we need to make mistakes? He also stayed at the Binhai Shipyard, but he was only focused on doing technology, including himself, and learned from Halliburton's engineers.

The technical requirements for offshore oil equipment are high, but the requirements for understanding are not high. Sucheng has a school foundation, so he follows foreign engineers every day. With the arrival of the first 100,000-ton old tanker, the number of engineers in Halliburton has increased from 12 to more than 80, including full-time engineers operating machines and general workers for turning, milling and planing pliers. These people have very high salaries and daily business trip subsidies.

Therefore, in order to minimize expenditure, the Binhai Shipyard organized workers to work in three shifts. Three or five workers followed a foreign engineer, and they both offered cigarettes and treated them to the guests. They were all determined to serve them well and could learn more.

When Sucheng was walking in the workshop, there were voices like "thank you" everywhere. This is COSCO Shipping. They have been doing external engineering for ten years. Everyone can speak more or less English, and young workers and managers can be the translator. If this were not the case, the language problems of more than 80 engineers alone would be difficult to solve.

"Dong Su." Master Du, who was burning electric welding, closed the welding gun and put down his mask.

"Old Du, how about it?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

"Teach my son a basic foundation. The workers from the United States are only in their 20s and are better at welding than me. This kid doesn't understand at all." Master Du pointed to the young man around him. The two were very close in shape. There were also grilled injuries left by welding on his face.

"Foreign workers have good learning conditions and they have systematic education methods. In addition, the more they use technology, the more they learn. Americans have sufficient orders, so there are more opportunities to learn. We will have the same opportunity in the future, as long as there is no big problem. It will be fine to make FPSO orders for 20 years." Su Cheng was explaining to Lao Du and to others, and the words in the factory are not slower than those in the agency.

Old Du laughed foolishly, paused, and whispered: "I'm going to get sick and retire. From now on, I'll go to the township enterprises below to work..."

"It's good to get an illness and go to Dahua. Our Dahua and COSCO Shipping need to cooperate to build a factory. In the future, we specialize in the engineering technology of offshore drilling platforms. You can go to Dahua Shipping's experimental workshop to help..."

"I...I'm embarrassed to go."

"Does anyone else know?" Su Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Master Du nodded heavily and said softly: "I'd better go to a small township factory. I'll burn electric welding for a lifetime and I won't do anything else."

Su Cheng guessed that the biggest blow to him should be interpersonal relationships. People in state-owned enterprises have been in state-owned enterprises all their lives, and relatives, classmates, friends and relationships are in state-owned enterprises. Lao Du sold the factory for money and a house. Some people may sympathize with him, but they may have more curses, especially workers of his generation, who may break off diplomatic relations.

Looking around Sucheng, there was no one around Lao Du, which was not common for a job like them.

He thought for a while and said, "I will not regret what I said. Our Dahua Industrial is only talented. As long as Master Du works hard, there will be no problem. In addition, isn't your second child not having a job? If you go to Dahua to work, if you do it well, we can solve the work of a direct relative. When the house is built, it will be allocated according to the service quality..."

Lao Du's lips were trembling with gratitude and said, "Dong Su, are you telling the truth."

"certainly."

"I...I did something like that, how can I go to Dahua again..." Lao Du was full of shame.

"Our Dahua Industry is the only one that can be achieved." Su Cheng said this for the second time.

Lao Du's eldest son also whispered: "Dad, just promise Su Dong. The safety measures in township factories are not good, and they are running around every day."

Su Cheng persuaded him a few more words again, and Lao Du agreed in a hesitant manner.

The factory building is four-story high and is built with steel frames. The stairs, handrails and the ground are all metal. Walking inside is like walking in a metal kingdom.

He Yuwei held the iron railing on the second floor and looked down at the scene below. When Su Cheng walked in, she went up and asked in a low voice: "Why are you going to accept Lao Du? He has done too much. If you hadn't turned it around, he might have lost so much of the work we had done before..."

"Everyone in the factory knows about Lao Du's situation. This is the most difficult thing to deal with." Su Cheng said lightly: "With him alone, you think it's too light, but if you punish him, fire him and let him lose his pension? You probably feel it's too heavy?"

He Yuwei smiled and said, "I heard you say that, do you call him a purpose?"

"Of course, a thousand gold horses just buy bones." Su Cheng said lightly.

He Yuwei was shocked and said, "You want to recruit people from COSCO Shipping?"

Su Cheng glanced at it and said, "Your father promised me that after COSCO Shipping won, he organized a national battle to tackle offshore drilling platforms. I bought horse bones, and I was waiting for them."

"Then some of you wait, it will take two or three months at the earliest to determine the merger entity..."

“That’s not necessarily.”

"Why isn't it certain? Unless Changning Infrastructure withdrew, Minister Yue will definitely wait until they sign a contract with Ito Trading Company and then make the final decision. Your procrastination strategy, isn't it time to delay."

"It won't be too long." Su Cheng shook his head and shook his hands, "I'll go and see the dock again."

"I'll go with you." He Yuwei lifted the ends of her hair with her hands, revealing her round earlobes.

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I went there and was also mingling with the workers. The boat was dirty and messy..."

"I'm in the factory every day. I'm getting used to it." He Yuwei's speech was a little sweet at this time.

Su Cheng thought to himself: When you were in the factory, you always sat in the office.

The two went to the dock together.

The factory of COSCO Shipping is already next to an old shipyard. The large wharf is their most valuable property. After repairing and protecting by the Tianjin Municipal Government, it was handed over to Zhongyuan Shipping for expansion. Now it can be parked with a 100,000-ton ship, and the waters next to it. There is also a new wharf that is continuing to be expanded.

The 100,000-ton tanker, like a steel giant beast made of more than a dozen tall buildings, floating quietly on the sea. It has put a lot of pressure on people.

At this moment, Mars splashed everywhere on the deck of the tanker. The FPSO of the No. 5-11 in Ship 5 is single-point mooring, so firstly, an internal turret-type STP bin must be set up at the bow, so that the ship can rotate around the STP bin 360 degrees to reduce the impact of wind and waves.

In order to allow a 250-meter-long ship to be moored at a single point, the STP warehouse is 8 meters high and 12 meters long. In order to install this device, half of the foreign engineers and the equivalent number of Chinese engineers were dispatched.

This is also the first step in tanker transformation.

Su Cheng hugged his sleeves and was about to go up to watch. He Yuwei gently pulled his sleeves.

Turning around, Minister Yue and his party also came to visit, and He Chengjun followed behind.

Compared to the last time we met, Minister Yue looked much better and he didn't need anyone to help him. When he saw Su Cheng from a distance, he smiled and said, "I've met again."

"Hello Minister Yue." Su Cheng smiled and said, "You are here to make a comeback? Why haven't you heard of it..."

"Let's go around and we're the only ones. Don't bother others anymore." Minister Yue had a little bit of an old child's intention. He waved his big hand full of wrinkles and smiled, "Let's go up and see, Xiao Su is going to be the supervisor, right?"

"It's almost the same." Su Cheng was very relaxed.

Several people went to the deck and heard a string of English.

More than 80 foreigners, half of whom were machining in the workshop, and the remaining half were renovated on the ship. The space on the ship was smaller, and workers were more gathered. When using language, they actually tended to speak in English. Even workers who didn’t know much about English were willing to speak in English, just as practice. Compared with the foreign engineering companies twenty or thirty years later, the workers of COSCO Shipping had much worse English skills, but they were more eager to learn than later workers. Even if they were shy, they all opened their mouths at this time.

Just looking at their communication methods, Minister Yue nodded slightly and said, "The quality of workers in COSCO is better than most domestic factories, good, good. By the way, I heard that the accuracy requirements of this kind of ship is very high, isn't it?"

He Chengjun said: "Indeed, according to Halliburton's requirements, the horizontality of the upper and lower rings is 1 mm, the height difference is up to 5 mm, and the eccentricity seems to be 1.5 mm, so welding deformation must be controlled."

Minister Yue said enthusiastically: "Then can you control it?"

He Chengjun smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Now it is mainly supported by foreign engineers and engineers from Dahua Laboratory."

"From Dahua Laboratory?" Minister Yue looked at Su Cheng.

"We have made two sets of offshore drilling platforms, and the accuracy is even better than FPSO." Su Cheng smiled.

"It seems that you are following the technical route." Minister Yue smiled, but changed his tone and said, "However, you'd better reflect this part of the technology..."

There was something in his words, and He Chengjun knew after a moment of thinking that COSCO Shipping's paper score might not be advantageous.

He Yuwei's face was pale, but only Su Cheng's expression remained unchanged.
