Chapter 415 Participate in the bidding
ff37;ww.ff35;ff18;xff33;.ff23;om u85c0f;8bf4;66f4;65b0;6700;5feb;5c0f;8bf4;9605;8bfb;7f51; The shipyards participating in the bidding have increased from an estimated dozens to 32.
This number may also increase with the red-eye flights at night. China Shipbuilding Group and its subordinate Jiangnan Shipyard have not been bidding abroad, but have never encountered so many competitors. After all, it has been in recent years that China Shipbuilding has been around to get out, and China Shipbuilding is still adapting to the development of the world's shipbuilding industry.
Rong Shangguo took off his high-shoulder-pad suit and threw it on the hotel bed. He quickly placed the bid instructions sent by Singapore Shipping Group on the table in the next room, staring at the traditional Chinese characters inside.
"The ship owners have also increased. Taiwan Evergreen Group has joined the ship owner sequence. Do you know?" Rong Shangguo looked up at Sucheng. Evergreen Group and Dahua Group have a close relationship. The crude oil produced in Dahua's Setan Oilfield and the UAE natural gas underwritten by Dahua are mostly transported and sold to all parts of the world through Evergreen Group. South Korea Hyundai Group is willing to sign a contract to transfer LNG technology, and there are also reasons why Evergreen Group orders ships from them.
Su Cheng just nodded slightly and said, "Evergreen Group buys several large ships every year, so it's not surprising that it jointly releases bids."
"Can Director Su pass Evergreen Group..."
"I can't ask Evergreen to harm his own interests." Su Cheng interrupted Rong Shangguo before he could finish his words.
Rong Shangguo sighed and said, "The bidding method is a secret bid. The morning after tomorrow, I think we should stop sleeping. Let's discuss a number."
"Well..." Su Cheng also opened the bidding book for a while and said, "Look at this, we divided the shipowner into two categories, one is more concerned about the price, and the other is more concerned about the completion time..."
"Good idea." Rong Shangguo started immediately.
The two subordinates were also busy starting to sort out and search for information. Some ship owners’ tendencies are very clear in the bidding instructions, but other ship owners’ tendencies must be judged based on the situation of their company.
Rong Shangguo brought four office staff to organize the rooms and understand the meaning of the people. They were really good at analyzing the information, and they caught them blindly. Especially the information of the World Shipping Company. They were completely blind. Except for one of them, the remaining three people could not even read the names of all the companies in the information.
After copying the list on the bidding instructions, the four people in China Shipbuilding did not know what to do.
I only heard two people from the Information Bureau, flirting with books there, and kept calling back to China to verify the situation...
At a glance from the six people, Rong Shangguo's face turned red.
But to be honest, Rong Shangguo didn't know how to judge what they wanted for shipowners who did not explain their intentions in the bidding instructions.
When they were at home, they could also ask, now that they are abroad, would they call them?
People may not necessarily tell the truth. At the negotiating table, it’s just guessing, let alone bidding.
Of course, in China, China Shipbuilding does not need to compromise. Most companies want ships, so they can only order them from China Shipbuilding. The specifications of civilian ships are determined and the prices are also determined. There is no room for negotiation.
As for bidding? That's just a joke.
Unless state-owned enterprises are about to starve to death, they all have the noble sentiment of not bending for five dollars of rice. China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, which is a ministerial-level official, will not participate in the bidding activities of domestic manufacturers.
Do you want it or not?
However, times have changed. China Shipbuilding has insufficient orders this year, and the order profits accumulated in previous years are not high. If you don’t insert a few high-priced orders, you will be unable to get the blame.
At this time, you can't let go of five dou of rice, let alone five dou of rice from foreign countries.
Rong Shangguo just didn't expect that as soon as he stepped out of the country, his subordinates became so useless.
With a red and white face, the two people from the Dahua Information Bureau quickly turned one list into two lists. This is their most familiar job, obtaining information, analyzing information, and giving conclusions... The work of the Dahua Strategy Department is usually dozens or hundreds of times more complicated than this.
The demand for 11 ship owners has a total of 32 ships, and it is too simple to divide it into two parts.
Among the finished products that Sucheng and Rong Shangguo saw, there were 25 ships of 8 ship owners who cared about time, while the remaining 7 ships that cared more about price belonged to 6 ship owners.
Rong Shangguo discovered the problem and immediately said: "There are 11 ship owners in total, are there any duplications?"
"This is what we judge based on the tonnage and model of the ship." Dong Feng of the Information Bureau is a strong man with a strong personality and a confident personality. He said without hesitation: "The world's shipping industry has experienced a strong recovery after 92 years of depression, especially the bulk carrier market. Due to the high demand for grains and the increase in imports of steel and forestry products, the rental of bulk carriers, especially flexible bulk carriers, has increased by 25% to 30%.
That's why there is today's centralized ordering meeting. No matter which ship owners are, they will not miss the favorable benefits of rent increases. Therefore, we have divided all orders of 20,000 to 50,000 tons into a range of time-consciousness. It is expected that they can withstand the increase of ship prices by more than 10%... Oil tankers and container ships do not have the power to increase the rental. These ship owners have a relatively high ownership. If they refer to the rental contracts they hold, they should care more about the price."
Rong Shangguo was stunned and said, "You understand ships very well."
"Temporary research." Dong Feng said modestly: "We are just analyzing the information. The price fluctuations in the shipping and shipbuilding industries are mainly determined by supply and demand. Judging from the current data, the orders for global flexible ships have increased by 100%, and the rent increase will only last about one year."
"How can I recover the cost in one year?" Rong Shangguo's secretary seized the opportunity to speak and showed off his presence.
Dong Feng smiled and said, "One year is indeed not enough to recover the cost, but the ship owner originally planned to recover the cost in 8 years, but now it is great to spend 7 and a half years. Anyway, you have to order it, so it doesn't matter at all. No matter what, even if the rent falls in a year, it will have normal profits. Moreover, the 25% rent we mentioned is millions."
Rong Shangguo agreed: "Foreigners are actually quite patient and lively."
Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Then follow this list?"
"Just follow this list." Rong Shangguo said as he relaxed and smiled, "In terms of time, we will determine 10 and a half months? We will reserve half a month to ensure completion."
Just when Rong Shangguo felt that there was almost no controversy, Dong Feng shook his eyebrows and said, "In 10 and a half months, we may not be able to get the order."
"Um?"
"According to the news we have received, Hyundai Heavy Industry can easily press the time to within 10 months, so I think they will choose a delivery period between 9 and 10 months."
Rong Shangguo looked unhappy and said, "Can the Hyundai Heavy Industry Company of South Korea take more than 30 ships?"
"Hyundai Heavy Industry has just expanded its factory. There are not many orders on hand. If you give it to them, there will definitely be no problem with 10 ships. This time, there are Japanese shipyards and European shipyards. They will have to take at least a few large ships. In addition, Samsung Heavy Industry and STX are both capable of picking orders, and they are in a state of sharing technology..." Dong Feng's speech was a bit fast, but he said it very clearly.
People who lack information are a little bit unconfidence when they speak. Rong Shangguo was unhappy and asked, "With your idea, we have to set the time for 10 months?"
"It's better to be safer after 9 and a half months."
Hearing him say this, Rong Shangguo changed his expression and asked: "Can Dahua complete the manufacturing of a 50,000-ton ship in 9 and a half months?"
"It can barely be able to do it." This time, it was Su Cheng who answered.
With the increase in skilled workers in Dahua Shipping Industry, Dahua Shipping Industry's production capacity has increased leaps and bounds. This is not only the increase in productivity brought about by the improvement of workers' level, but more importantly, it is able to exchange workers with Dahua Shipping's offshore drilling platforms.
Dahua Shipbuilding has been working on offshore drilling platforms for 4 years, and its personnel are very stable. Almost most workers have more than 5 years of experience. According to international standards, these workers can be considered skilled workers.
The production task of Dahua offshore drilling platform is also very tight. Moreover, the profit is quite high. Directly recruiting workers will cause too much loss. However, if Dahua Shipping has trained workers for one or two years and replaced some senior technicians and skilled workers, the offshore drilling platform department can increase the speed of the shipbuilding department without slowing down.
This practice was actually often used by state-owned enterprises in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
At that time, Shanghai and Northeast were China's manufacturing centers, and foreign workers were exchanged with workers from Northeast China or Shanghai. With no more than 30%, factories in Shanghai and Northeast China would hardly be affected, but factories in other places could develop rapidly.
At that time, the Ministry of Petroleum, Sixth Machinery and Ordnance Department set up factories all over the country, and this method was actually used.
Rong Shangguo obviously did not expect that Dahua could complete the construction of a ship in 9 and a half months. He calculated silently and said, "If it was 9 and a half months, the Jiangnan Shipyard could only undertake one ship at most. Moreover, the profit was not high, so it would be inconsistent with our original intention."
"It is okay to use the segmented shipbuilding method to complete it one month in advance." Su Cheng is already preparing to spread the segmented shipbuilding method to China Shipbuilding. The purpose of his purchase of the segmented shipbuilding method from Japan was to integrate the giant total segmented shipbuilding method on this basis. In contrast, the latter is a more advanced shipbuilding method, and the peaceful land shipbuilding method can be regarded as a golden combination. Taking advantage of the time difference, using the segmented shipbuilding method to exchange for a little manpower will be more beneficial to Dahua.
Moreover, China Shipbuilding Corporation is a national enterprise after all, and improving its productivity can always allow the country to spend less subsidies.
Rong Shangguo said unsure: "We have not started to learn the staged shipbuilding method, so it is too late."
"After the equipment arrives, the process will not be too difficult, and Dahua will only master it."
Rong Shangguo looked at the dazzling amount of breach of contract on the bidding instructions, but it was still difficult to decide. Finally, he said: "The Jiangnan Shipyard is preparing to bid for 5 ships, one for 9 and a half months, and four for 10 months. The rest... are all based on their skills."
"Okay." The transaction amount of the five ships will exceed 700 million yuan. With the qualifications of both parties, it is more than enough as a cooperative project.
Dong Feng of the Information Bureau has already pinched his fingers and started to calculate the bottom line of Dahua's own bidding.
