Chapter 418 Can it be done?
ww.x.om Return to Sucheng in the conference hall, walking on the dragon and tiger steps.
The 8-month limit means that Dahua can build a smart bulk cargo ship in 240 days from beginning to end. Although it is not the world's top level, it is definitely more than enough in the production field.
At this speed, Dahua can build 6 ships by itself, but if the orders are spread globally, this number can be doubled or tripled, but it is just a matter of profit.
Li Cang's guarantee has solved the bidding problem just right. Sucheng believes that with Dahua's cost advantage, as long as the orders can be grabbed, it will definitely be able to create profits.
Shipbuilding is a capital-intensive industry and the most price-sensitive industry. Every 1% reduction in cost can bring tens of millions of benefits, and every 10% reduction in cost is a revolution.
Because of this, the United States and Europe had countless shipyards with advanced equipment and skilled workers, and eventually went bankrupt. Japan took over the ship manufacturing industry and did not persist for too long. When their labor costs rose, South Korea tried to inherit the world's ship manufacturing industry from them.
China was 15 years later than South Korea before it began to build ships in full swing.
In Sucheng's view, it is not as well as the preparations of China's manufacturing industry 15 years ago, but not as well as the preparations of South Korea as the private manufacturing industry 15 years ago.
Even in 2003, China made a big move into the world's shipbuilding industry, the pioneers and main players were private enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Those bosses who made shirts and leather shoes used the funds accumulated over 30 years to purchase old equipment from Chinese or foreign shipyards. From one or two thousand tons or even hundreds of tons of ships, they suddenly achieved a scale of tens of millions of tons per year. In terms of displacement, it was equivalent to hundreds of aircraft carriers.
State-owned enterprises such as China Shipbuilding Corporation wait until the Chinese private enterprises have created the market before they can insert them. It is like two wild dogs made an appointment to go out to find the bitch, and the relatively thin one found the bitch. In the moment of happiness, the strong wild dog penetrated the thin wild dog from behind, and then he felt happy.
If the strong wild dog went out alone to find the bitch, he would not dare to do it again.
China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation in 1993 may have one or two generations worse than Korean shipyards in terms of hardware conditions, but in capital and labor-intensive ship manufacturing, advanced technology is only a way to increase profits and orders, and it is impossible to achieve monopoly.
The real bad thing about China Shipbuilding is self-consuming. They don’t focus on finding bitches to pass on their family line. They focus all their attention on male dogs, just wanting to take advantage of them.
The accumulated problems over the years are not something that Sucheng or Rongshangguo can change, or even something that anyone can change.
Sucheng confirmed that the outsourcing strategy could be realized, and decided not to pay attention to Rong Shangguo and his shipyard. When he returned to his position, he whispered: "Mr. Rong, I am going to order a few more ships, and our agreement will still be valid. Is it right?"
Rong Shangguo knew what was in his phone call just now and said silently: "The agreement is valid."
He didn't bid for a single ship, and he didn't dare to forcefully shorten the contract time. Therefore, even though he knew that "cooperative production" was equivalent to making supporting OEM factories, he had to agree.
In any case, the profits of supporting such short-term ships are also higher than those of long-term contract ships.
Su Cheng nodded and signaled to the host that he could start.
The host saw that no one objected below. He waited and announced that the bid would continue.
During the intermission, many people contacted their companies and passed the latest news. Most people received feedback from the company.
Therefore, the second half fell into a white heat from the beginning.
The first batch of three ships in the warm-up field instantly collapsed apart a dry bulk carrier of 15,000 tons, and bid for 33 million; the 11,000 tons of offshore product oil tankers, and bid for 72 million; the 8,000 tons of inland offshore ships, and the asking price for 13 million...
Not to mention Su Cheng and Rong Shangguo, Koreans were stunned.
This transaction is basically standard ships. The companies participated in the bidding, and they are also traditional models of their own companies. They only make fine adjustments and not big changes.
In this case, the cost of ships can be reduced relatively low, and it can also give shipyards some high-profit subsidies. After all, such a tight time is equivalent to letting these shipowners go to the line.
However, the three ships after halftime not only brought the price back to average, but also fell.
The same is true for the 22nd to the 25th.
I saw the New Zealand shipowner on the stage, and the eyebrows were not eyebrows, and the eyes were not eyes.
The time is short and the price is low, which is simply the dream of the ship owner.
Rong Shangguo looked at the price tags on the stage and then looked at the numbers he wrote. He couldn't help but say in English: "What are these things? Is it necessary to snatch the money-loss business?"
The representative of the Indonesian shipyard who had taken the most ruthless attack just now immediately put away his smile and said, "We must be profitable."
"That's the best, otherwise it depends on how you explain it." Rong Shangguo glared at him. If this price is a three-year delivery contract, of course it will be profitable. But if it is a 9-month or 10-month delivery contract, overtime pay can take away the profit.
The representative of the Indonesian shipyard laughed twice, and he actually regretted it a little.
The 26th and the 27th are a 32,000-ton dry bulk carrier and a 70,000-ton container ship.
Sucheng has no interest in the latter. The difficulty of building ships with more than 5,000 tons has been increased accordingly. The giant general section shipbuilding method and the plain-ground shipbuilding method used by Dahua Shipping have not been actually verified on this class of ships. Even if the order is to be made, it can only be transferred to others.
In the face of tight time, Sucheng set its target on a 32,000-ton dry bulk carrier. This ship not only meets the needs of Dahua's ship industry, but also meets the needs of Hyundai Heavy Industry. The ships they are manufacturing are concentrated in the range of 30,000 to 40,000 tons, while the ships bidding for Dahua are mostly 20,000 to 40,000 tons.
In this bidding meeting, all ships ordered with standard sizes and standard equipment can greatly reduce the pressure on the shipyard. When the same ship type is mass-made, the one-time costs such as scientific research and design, material discharge, tire racks, and training can be distributed to several ships. Buying the same materials and equipment in batches can also reduce the price. As the production batch increases and the production technology increases, the errors will gradually decrease, and all of these can reduce the cost of the shipyard.
Therefore, if bidding for the same ship type, the shipyard can give a lower bid price, which can be said to be beneficial to both parties.
This approach can make the most profits possible during this period of strong recovery in the ship transport industry.
Su Cheng looked up at South Korea, and then began to look down at the bidding documents.
There are 32 ships in total, and there are 7 left. Two of them are less than 20,000 tons, one is less than 50,000 tons, and four are in line with the expected tonnage of Dahua Shipbuilding and Hyundai Heavy Industry.
Su Cheng thought about it and wrote down a 250-day contract time on the 32,000-ton ship bid, and raised the price to 85 million.
According to the results of the previous two rounds of bidding, he should actually lower the price.
But as Rong Shangguo said, if it was a waste of work, what's the point of bidding for these ships?
Dahua has a lot of orders in hand, and it has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to ensure capital preservation.
After filling out the bid, Su Cheng slowly stuffed it into a kraft paper bag, sealed the number and signed it.
The staff immediately came over to pick it up and sent it to the review department of the ship owner behind. There are many options in the bidding, and different options are different for the ship owner, but the most important thing is the price, time and configuration.
The representatives of the shipyard wrote the bids one after another, and soon after, the results were sent out and handed over to the shipowner representative on the stage for confirmation.
In a blink of an eye, the host began to announce the results: "The 26th ship, 32,000 tons dry bulk carrier, the winner of the bidder, Dahua Industrial, the contract time was 250 days, the price was 85 million... The 27th ship, 70,000 tons container ship, the winner of the bidder, the Japanese Hachiman Shipyard..."
Compared with the previous two rounds, Dahua Shipping Industry's winning bid price suddenly increased by more than 5 million. The representatives of Indonesian shipyards all turned green.
Pei Zhongyong couldn't help but turn his head and smiled in English: "Does Director Su don't want to win the bid, so he deliberately wrote a high price, but he accidentally won the bid?"
After he said this, several people burst into laughter.
"If Hyundai Heavy Industry wants to lower the price, just lower it." Su Cheng was unmoved. Any decision here is worth hundreds of millions. It is better to smash a car with people outside, as if he was a mistake here. He would not change his bidding strategy because of Pei Zhongyong's words.
Pei Zhongyong touched his head and smiled and said, "Dahua has already obtained 6 ships. You seem to have only one shipyard for building ships, and the other is for offshore drilling platforms? Can a shipyard make 6 ships?"
"If you don't use a dock, what does it matter if there are several shipyards?"
Pei Zhongyong's face changed: "Dong Su is really confident. Don't be lying to us."
Su Cheng spread his hands out and didn't speak.
The host quickly rang the wooden hammer: "The last group, the owner of the 28th to 32nd ships is the Denmark's Dia Ship Transport Company..."
Sucheng still bids for three of the ships at high prices and short-term prices.
On the contrary, Pei Zhongyong chose low prices and a longer time.
With the lessons learned from Indonesian shipyards, each shipyard is much more careful when bidding.
Hyundai Heavy Industry has obtained 7 ships and 3 or 4 more ships, which has met the minimum requirements. Pei Zhongyong doesn't want to sign a few ships to pay back.
Compared with the real interests before the bidding, the arrogant words are nothing.
The time for filling out the bid this time lasted for a long time, but it was released very quickly.
Three ships returned to Dahua and one ship returned to the French shipyard.
When the results were announced, Pei Zhongyong just gritted his teeth and said to Su Cheng: "I hope you can complete 9 ships. Haha, more than 200,000 tons is not as simple as it sounds."
"You will know the answer in 9 months." Su Cheng smiled, and was close to him, and whispered: "Maybe, you should care about Dahua's goal after completing this order."
