When Sucheng returned to Dahua Shipping Industry, the first batch of five low-tonnage ships had been launched and delivered for use. Most of the second batch of five experimental ships were completed.

Plate processing workshop, plane segmented production line, standard segmented assembly area, hull segmented assembly table, trailer, elevated crane, downstream shipbuilding station and other shipyard institutions are lined up along the Huangpu River...

New or old equipment is constantly transported from the wharf, and then installed forward along the factory layout of Dahua.

Dahua Gas Company and Jichai Power Machinery Factory both sent hundreds of people to help. The 200 senior technicians agreed to by Jiangnan Shipyard were also busy running around the front line of production. Their skills were fine. At least skilled workers with ten years of experience, they were also good at putting them abroad. At this time, it made it easier for each workshop to throw them to Dahua Shipyard.

Despite this, the atmosphere inside Dahua's ship industry is quite solemn.

It is common to be a boat in as fast as 250 days, or 8 months, in foreign countries, but for Chinese ship companies, they have never thought about it.

Put it in the journals of the college, and it immediately became "multiple items to fill the national gap", and it was less than enough for two professors and five associate professors.

Through Licang, Su Cheng invited ship experts from more than a dozen colleges and universities, and actually had this idea. Su Cheng agreed that they could write their work in their articles. Those experts who usually acted like big names immediately became well-behaved like thin oxes.

Dahua Shipping's own engineers do not need to publish articles to evaluate professional titles. These benefits will not affect Dahua even if they are given to colleges. Instead, they can attract more people to help.

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

A ship is a system engineering. To be honest, the design of a table can be found in theoretical basis. In reality, there is nothing wrong with more theoretical basis guidance. Later media always like to use the lack of humanization to describe products made in China. In fact, the lack of humanization means the lack of professional designers and professional theoretical engineers. Apple and Sony are indeed beautiful, and they are piled up by countless designers, and they are also a button. Foreign designers spend 200 hours on designing, which means that the company pays more than 100,000 US dollars in half a year, and the only thing they get is a button. The budget for domestic companies to make a product may be more than one million yuan, but the result is naturally different.

Put it on a boat, the things made by 10 designers and engineers are naturally rougher than the things made by 100 designers and engineers.

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

Laying steel plates first and then welding them sounds simple. But the result may be different.

Especially in places where the hull is narrow, the welding robot cannot be used, and the welder cannot even reach out. In this case, considering welding in advance can reduce a lot of trouble.

Sucheng ran day and night in the shipyard, Dahua Laboratory and Dahua Group headquarters. Fortunately, other companies have entered the formal state. Setan Oilfield, Dahua Gas Company, and Dahua Transportation Company have all had a complete organizational system and management team. Although Dahua Petrochemical is in the process of further expansion of production, the steps and processes are determined, and there is no part that Sucheng must participate in. Not to mention the joint venture Debang water heater. Shu Hao has long developed it into a cash cow, and they are more involved in dealing with Shenzhen Development Bank.

The time saved by Sucheng has contributed all the 9 ships.

Their total price may be only US$500 million and their profits may be less than RMB 100 million, but they represent a door. Once completed, Dahua Shipping will not only be a supplier of offshore oil equipment, but also a major supplier of civilian ships.

After all, it is enough to be proud of a ship manufacturing company that can complete 300,000 tons in nine months, and this will be the best qualification in Dahua Shipping.

But not everyone is optimistic about the future of Dahua Shipping Industry.

In China in 1993, there was no such thing as the Internet. The only way people can get foreign consultation is mass media. Everyone knows what they say on TV or newspapers. Better colleges and universities can occasionally get journals and TV editing from abroad, but they are popular within.

Even senior national cadres would be difficult to determine the degree of industrial development abroad without deliberately searching for it. They only know that they are better than the Chinese themselves.

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

If Dahua Shipyard cannot deliver the goods on time, the compensation can make it go bankrupt directly. At that time, what should we do if Dahua Group refuses to save it and let it go bankrupt? There is no need to be owed to the debt. Just arrears of payments are something that many suppliers are unwilling to bear.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the year approaching, many suppliers came to the door and demanded to settle the previous funds.

Among them, there are small suppliers who owe hundreds of thousands of dollars and large enterprises that owe tens of millions of dollars. In the first two days, the supply chain department did not take it seriously. Dahua had abundant cash flow and it was always very easy to pay. If there were suppliers asking for it, they would pay as soon as they were about the time.

However, when the payment application for unexpired payments reached 20% in just a few days, Zhang Chao finally woke up.

While he arranged for his subordinates to understand the situation, he drove to the shipyard to report the situation to Sucheng.

Recently, Sucheng has worked on site at Dahua Laboratory or Dahua Group headquarters in the morning and in the afternoon at the shipyard.

The shipbuilding process is full of twists and turns, and the preparations in the early stage alone are a headache, especially for procurement and other content. If Su Cheng is present, directly reviewing and signing will obviously make the progress much faster.

Zhang Chao drove by himself, then walked forward along the road by the river. When he met a crowded place, he shouted: "Is Mr. Su here?"

Not long after, I met Sucheng.

Several engineers were surrounding Sucheng to determine the machinery and equipment. Each of them wrote a report and were arguing.

Li Cang sat on the stool with several members of the procurement committee and surrounded the city and listened to them explain the reasons.

Although Zhang Chao is an international student, he still feels stuffy when listening to nouns such as "emergency fire pump", "weld size", and "worm-shaped air holes".

He stood for two minutes, then he winked at Yang Ming desperately, pulled him behind, and told him about the payment application.

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

"We are not a bank. We are not afraid of bank runs." Zhang Chao said in a vague voice: "I am worried about something else."

"What?"

Zhang Chao didn't want to say it, and had to say: "If there are so many suppliers, it would be fine if they do it. I'm afraid they will unite. There are more than 300 suppliers who have applied for payment recently. Once they stop supplying, Dahua Industrial's supply chain will be halfway."

"Where is the shipyard? Will the shipyard be affected?" As the office director, Yang Ming was able to participate in the confidentiality and knew that the most important thing for Dahua Industrial Group at present is the shipyard. Other projects can withstand short-term labor pains. If the shipyard is working overtime and overtime to catch up with the progress, it will be painful to death.

Zhang Chao nodded slowly and said, "The supply chain of the shipyard is the most vulnerable."

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

Su Cheng, who has been the chairman for 4 years, remained unchanged. He had just finished the work at hand, and then stood up and smiled and said, "Let's take a break."

The engineer and the finance department were left to argue, and Su Cheng simply took Zhang Chao to the riverside and asked in a breeze: "How much is the total amount?"

"Dahua Shipping Industry has 120 million yuan. It's only a few days since I was afraid that other companies will be affected." Yang Ming said as he expressed his guess.

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

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

“How long is the contract payment period?”

"Eight months, four months left. They were very anxious, and the other party's sales director was sitting in my office." Zhang Chao said with a serious expression: "I am afraid of being a scoundrel. If I don't give it, I'm afraid that people will say that our Dahua has no money, and it may turn into a run. Moreover, the money is our suppliers. What they want is their own money, but the time is ahead of time... If I give it, I'm also afraid that the wait-and-see suppliers will come up to ask for money. No matter whether it's useless or not, I'm afraid that no one will refuse to hold the money in my hands early."

The payment period from half a year to one year is the industry rule. Because the payment period for heavy industry is long, it takes about a year for steel and other materials to be produced into a ship. The shipowner often only pays a deposit and will pay when he sees the ship. The shipyard naturally has to wait until the other party pays before paying the upstream factory.

This system will not change slightly until the Internet era, but it will not become a drug trading model that can pay one hand and deliver the other.

If Dahua pays to the upstream company in advance and the downstream company does not pay, it will be a situation where people will be beaten to death if they are not careful.

Therefore, after a moment of contemplation, Su Cheng decided to say: "The due payment cannot be paid until the expiration date. We must follow the contract. Dahua Industrial not only has Dahua Shipping Industry but also Dahua Petrochemical. If we pay, BASF also requires the prepayment of the equipment fee of billions of dollars in advance. Wouldn't we have to sit on wax?"

"I understand." Yang Ming was instructed and calmed down, saying, "I'm afraid of bad rumors coming out."

Su Cheng thought about it and said, "The New Year will be in one month. Let's do this. You can reply to the supplier first. We will pay dividends in advance until next week. Yang Ming, let the finance department prepare cash."

"Cash? That's..." Yang Ming was startled, said halfway, lowered his voice, and said, "That's over 100 million yuan."

"It's only if you need too much, it will be effective." Su Cheng nodded and 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. The amount is calculated based on the group's profit in the previous year. As long as the company's profit exceeds 7%, the dividend will be distributed, and the amount is about 30% of the excess. Based on the income of Dahua Industrial Group in 1992, the money is not only hundreds of millions of yuan, but hundreds of millions of yuan, far exceeding the payment applied by 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 attend our Spring Festival Gala."
