Chapter 219 Let's go to China together
There was a long time in the dock.
The all-metal drilling platform that was dozens of meters high has been dismantled at this moment, and the electric gun started construction everywhere, sprinkling clusters of sparks from the sky.
The riveting workers were not idle either, either hanging in the air or taking collective action under the guidance of protective ropes. These were workers who had assembled Hua 105 and Hua 106, and they were skillful and fast, and they could not see the Saudis in industrial production who had never seen them dizzy.
From their perspective, these workers were like juggling dozens of meters above the altitude.
Wang Zhou distributed the parts to different departments or warehouses. He turned around and greeted Naser and others, saying, "Dr. Su is still in a meeting, and it will take about half an hour. You can sit down and rest for a while."
"Can you take us to visit?" Nasr took the initiative to propose because he was curious.
Saudi Arabia's industry is underdeveloped, with both human factors and environmental factors. Where there is no water, how can we build large-scale industries? The basic industries that produce these things have a higher demand for water. However, in Saudi Arabia, although residents use water very cheaply, industrial water is not the case. Nasr and others rarely see industrial production except when they study abroad.
Wang Zhou naturally would not stop him and quickly said: "Our main work now is two parts. The first is to repair the platform structure, and the second is to replace parts. The repair of parts is carried out in another workshop..."
"It depends on the platform maintenance. Can we get closer to see it?" Nasr actually wanted to say that he went up to see it. Later, when he saw that the platform was crooked, many steel bar structures were demolished, and they changed their words.
Wang Zhou said it was fine, so he gave them one safety helmet, looked at the leather shoes of a few people, and then took them in, and introduced as he walked: "What we are doing now is to replace the materials. Our replacement materials are different from other companies. This platform manufacturing company is unwilling to tell us specific parameters such as external loads, and in the end we calculated them all by ourselves. Now you can see that all of them are replaced and constructed according to the results of on-site measurement, which is safe and easy to use."
"Did you calculate the external load?" Nasr knew this because when he was looking for a repair company, he had to pass it. However, the manufacturing company regarded it as its own commercial secret and was unwilling to give it. There was no support for finding a contract. It was also one of the reasons why other companies were unwilling to take over.
Wang Zhou looked up proudly and smiled: "Our team and all engineers on the line are very powerful. Look at the maintenance we are doing now. It is not just a simple photo of the structures or materials from the early 1980s. We have replaced them with the latest materials and structures. If you see our purchase order, you can find that we have purchased special steel from the American Steel Company and also used high-end products processed by our country. When the inspection is done, you will know that you will take a big advantage."
In fact, in addition to being better, changing materials is also for cheaper. "Sea Diamond No. 6" is also a big guy with 7,000 tons. The amount of steel is amazing. Although it is not all replaced, it is always necessary to replace hundreds of tons of metal. If it is made according to the design of the 1980s, 3 million US dollars will not be guaranteed.
Nasr also knew this truth and only reminded him: "I am the senior director of the maintenance department of the Saudi Arabian Petroleum Corporation. If the platform you build can pass third-party testing, I will also send an order to you."
"Then thank you in advance." Wang Zhou smiled and could not tell at all the time he was sweating and just now.
Nasr circled around the boat and went to the temporary workshop inside. It was also a scene of enthusiastic production, with neither coffee maker nor tea room beside it. Only a large bucket of pure water was placed on the high table and the workers poured it themselves.
Wang Zhou ran to find Sucheng. Nasr and others stared for a long time, but they didn't see any Chinese worker stopping their work and pouring a glass of water.
All the workers were there to weld and weld, and they were operating the tools in their hands, without the slightest intention of resting.
At some point, Wang Zhou came back and said, "Dr. Su was not found." Nasr's men first pulled him and asked, "You don't set up a rest room next to the workshop, and there are no chairs or tables for rest. What should you do if you want to rest?"
"If you rest, go home and go to bed." Wang Zhou looked strange instead.
"Will everyone go on strike with such a high-pressure policy?"
"This is still high pressure? There is no easier job than this. Do you know what it is like when we are rushing to progress?" Wang Zhou looked at the Saudis with a fool's eyes and said pity: "You don't understand if you don't do industry. Industrial production is a whole. You have rested here, and the workers on the assembly line will rest? If he doesn't want to rest, you will become a bottleneck here. It will affect the overall efficiency. For the sake of resting alone, it will affect everyone's rest. What is this nonsense?"
"Others always have time to rest. They can store some goods in each process. Don't be so nervous. Store some in each position so that the resting person will not affect the people behind them." The Saudis are talking about their methods.
"This is like artificially increasing inventory. After a production line, the inventory needs to be increased by 20% or 30%?" Wang Zhou laughed and said, "Toyota Motor has been making zero inventory for a long time. You should know this. For industrial enterprises, the less inventory, the better. Our Dahua Industrial is also learning various ways to reduce inventory. How can we use the other way to increase inventory..."
Secretly, Wang Zhou thought to himself: No wonder your industrial products are all from Europe, America and Japan, and they are developed against the world's factories. Now let alone Japan, American workers and Australian workers cannot be like you. Just take a break if you want.
In China in the 1980s, professional students who could speak English were all elites. When it comes to reason, they also have one set of things.
Nasr nodded when he heard this, but when he spoke, he opposed: "You are too stressful to the workers like this. It's better to be more free. However, can you Chinese workers do such high-intensity work?"
"Of course, our company also has a corresponding labor security system that will not damage everyone's health. Sometimes the work intensity is high, and it will be harder."
"Oh, then when your drilling platform is repaired, you can send some workers to Saudi Arabia. Our salary will definitely satisfy you." Nasr began to pull people naked. Among the workers working in Saudi Arabia, the most are Indians and Filipinos, because the former knows much English and has a better living environment than the latter.
However, whether it is Indians or Filipinos, their hard work is also relatively to the Saudis, and it is completely incomparable to Chinese workers. Saudi Arabia is used to using foreign workers, and Nasr said this when he saw that the Chinese people spoke in English.
Wang Zhou smiled and said, "I have no right to decide", and then ordered people to look for Sucheng everywhere.
The people sent out shouted. At this time, someone in the center of the workshop looked up and lifted up his mask. He shouted: "What's the matter with me?"
Wang Zhou stopped and pointed to the front and said, "Well, where is Mr. Su?"
When several people arrived, they found out that not only Su Cheng was burning the electric welding, but several engineers were burning the electric welding, and they were recording while burning. There was also a senior worker in front of them, who changed the method to burn.
When Wang Zhou saw Nasr's gold-edged cloak, he stood up with a smile, twisted his neck, and said with a smile: "We are doing an experiment. The rust of the Sea Diamond No. 6 is very powerful. Some key parts need to be replaced with new ones, but non-critical parts, we are going to re-weld them. We will polish them clean and re-paint them. Don't worry, it will definitely be the same as new ones at that time."
"I believe it when you see your work scene." Nasr said sincerely, then squatted beside him and asked, "Can I give it a try?"
“Electric welding?”
"Yes. I have been in the factory for many years and have never tried it. Seeing that Director Su is proficient in operating, I think all senior executives must have such experiences." Nasr said a haha. He complimented Su Cheng in a very important way.
"Then let's burn one." Su Cheng pulled out two welding rods and taught him how to use the mask and the welding gun. While igniting the welding gun, he demonstrated: "There is actually not much skill in welding. If you burn more, you will be able to. In our opinion, good welders are piled up by welding rods, just like sharpshooters are fed by bullets."
Nasr nodded like a rice pecking at the chicken, saying, "I have seen the level of Chinese workers. Most of the workers in our country are in maintenance. Dahua doesn't know if he is interested in exporting labor business? There are some preferential policies and the profits are also good."
"We Dahua's own workers can't use them." Su Cheng politely refused, then burned a straight weld with a welding gun and smiled: "Workers, if they do more work, their level will improve. In our country, factories with sufficient orders and high technical content are prone to producing senior workers. If it is just pure repairs, the level of workers will decline in a few years."
"If we burn less welding rods, it won't work?" Nasr crookedly burned out one-third of the length of weld, and the welding gun turned off.
"That's what it means." Su Cheng smiled softly and guided Nasr to burn a welding line.
He would not send Dahua Industrial workers to Saudi Arabia. This place is like a bottomless pit. There are many industrial workers with unique skills. At best, they are mechanics. They are suitable for collecting money for retirement, but they are not a place to do careers.
Before Nasr left, he told the recruitment price of a foreign worker and guaranteed a 30% agency fee. Sucheng still refused. If he could recruit workers, he would use it for himself.
However, Su Cheng's refusal made Nasr nod secretly and could not help but have a new evaluation of Dahua Industrial.
Both sides were talking happily, but were interrupted by Huo Chang's running sound.
The deputy factory director, who was in his 50s, ran like a running cow, and panted and handed Su Cheng a telegram.
The Saudis also became serious, for fear that there was something wrong with the platform repair.
Su Cheng waved his hand at them, staring at the line of words on the telegram "Jinshi General Factory borrowed 100 million yuan from the bank", and asked, "When did it happen?"
Huo Chang held the man and gasped, "This morning, the damn Du Lijun acted secretly and borrowed the money without a word. I don't know how many relationships I used..."
"It's reasonable, unexpected." Su Cheng quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Please book my ticket today."
Nasr, who was traveling with him, had already invited a Chinese translator. At this time, listening to the synchronous explanation, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Sucheng, you can't buy the air ticket from Jilin to China immediately. However, our Saudi National Petroleum Company has its own airline. If you need it, I can arrange it for you."
Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and smiled and said, "thank you, thank you."
"You're welcome." Nasr rolled his eyes, but smiled, "Can I go to China with you?"
