Chapter 353 Which company is better at learning technology? Mingzhou, China is looking for Lanyang!

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the technicians' hands were frozen with big holes. When they were thirsty, they grabbed the snow on the side. When they were hungry, they took a bite of the frozen and hard steamed buns. They overcame countless difficulties and finally conquered of this natural gas ship technology.

What Qin Tao said moved people to tears, but the host hesitated.

“Mr. Qin, was your technology developed in the north?”

Huh? Did you get the wrong script? Qin Tao came to his senses in a hurry: "That's not true, but our natural gas ships have to withstand the test of low temperatures, and of course the technicians have to do experiments in the cold season."

Even if eight horses can't pull him back, Qin Tao can pull him back. This explanation immediately makes sense.

"Ahem, ahem, for specific technical difficulties, you can interview Cong Gong. She works at our shipyard and is mainly responsible for natural gas ships. After you finish the interview, you need to show me the edited version. There may be someone in it. Some of these things will involve our technical secrets and are inconvenient to be released."

The host nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin, let's interview you first. After the interview is completed, we will interview this mysterious Cong Gong."

Qin Tao still couldn't get rid of it and could only continue to accept the interview with the host.

A few days later.

“President Francois, it’s nice to meet you.” Qin Tao stretched out his hand, and the old friend’s hands were held together.

"Mr. Qin, I just heard that your company can build a new membrane-type natural gas ship with a larger capacity, higher operating efficiency, and low procurement cost. Therefore, I came here specifically to order five ships from here. You guys You should give us a preferential price, right?”

“Of course, you gave us timely help and ordered the first MOSS tank natural gas ship from us. We Orientals value friendship and will definitely give you the lowest price!” Qin Tao was very generous to Francois.

 What I just heard is obviously nonsense, because Mingzhou Group also took the initiative to call Francois to introduce a brand new natural gas tanker.

 The new membrane type natural gas carrier, who knows if there are any technical flaws? Francois doesn't want to take risks. After all, he has passed the initial period of taking risks. Now he has to seek stability.

However, there is no need to worry now, because GT Company has announced that it recognizes Eastern technology and has introduced relevant patents. In this way, doubts have been dispelled. What else can I say? Hurry up and order!

 It is not possible to pick up the phone and rush to buy. You must go to the door in person.

 Five ships at once, the other party is definitely a big deal!

"However, you have to know that our current production capacity is not high. Don't have high hopes for the delivery date of these five ships." Qin Tao said: "It is good to deliver within three years."

 “Three years?” Francois clicked his tongue.

In fact, according to the progress of Mingzhou Group, it will be almost two years. However, Qin Tao has to make some allowances, because this is a brand-new technology after all. They are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. By then, they will have enough Time modification.

“That’s right, three years. If you don’t agree, then we can only say it’s a pity.”

Francois gritted his teeth: "Of course not."

He has already seen that in Europe, the voice of environmental protection is getting stronger and stronger. If you want to be environmentally friendly, you must do practical things. They need to relocate their industries to the third world. They also need a large amount of clean fuel, so in the future, natural gas The demand for energy will become higher and higher. After all, there are not many major energy countries in Europe, and many of them rely on transportation.

 Those oil tankers that are still being built now are outdated. The future era will belong to natural gas, and he will be the winner in this area.

 Three years is three years, he can afford to wait.

So, the contract for five natural gas ships was signed. This was a large order worth several billion dollars. After word spread, all the shipyards were jealous.

For other ships, the competition is very fierce. Shipyards need to send special teams to bid for customers. More than a dozen shipyards compete for an order for a ship. Some shipyards even miscalculated and quoted a super low price. , finally built it, and found that it was still a loss!

 What about Mingzhou Group? There has never been such a team, because they are not needed, they are the customers who come to the door!

 If you want to build ships, you must build high value-added ships, natural gas ships, which have development prospects!

A few days later.

"Mr. Qin, why haven't you been to Huating recently? Everyone misses you so much!" As soon as Director Wang of Huating Shipyard saw Qin Tao, he immediately enthusiastically came to build relations with him.

 “I’m busy. I’m a reporter and a ship owner recently, so I’m very busy.”

“Hey, to my ears, how come these words sound like showing off?”

"You think so. By the way, you come to me. What's the matter?"

"We had a meeting years ago, didn't we say that? Our shipyard will send a group of people here to learn welding technology." Director Wang said: "Now, I have brought them here, and I hope you can make arrangements as soon as possible. "

Qin Tao looked out the window. Factory Manager Wang came in his Santana, but behind the Santana, there was also a Huanghai Bus. At this time, people kept coming down and queuing up to the side of the carriage to get their luggage. Look at that It looks like there are probably about forty people.

“It’s not a big event, just about forty people?” Qin Tao said: “If you want to weld a large natural gas ship, there are not enough welders.”

"Yes, it is indeed not enough. However, we have only raised more than 10 million so far, and we can only send so many people." Director Wang did not hide anything in front of Qin Tao. If you don't have money, you don't have money. .

Each person costs 300,000 yuan in training fees. These more than 40 people are worth more than 10 million yuan. Their shipyard carefully selected this group and sent them to study.

As for the subsequent training of more personnel, of course, we can wait until these people return and then transfer the training.

Qin Tao nodded: "Then you have to be mentally prepared. After these people go back and help train other welders, the price may be higher."

 “What, higher?” Director Wang was shocked.

Qin Tao smiled: "You think I'm lying? I, Qin Tao, have a lot of skills. I can earn money from foreigners. I don't like the money from our own people at all. In the future, you will train your own second batch of welders." knew."

This is really not a lie. Just saying that the price of the wasted Yinwa steel is more than 300,000, not to mention other costs.

Mingzhou Group only needs 300,000 yuan to help with training. It can first let these people practice with the scraps of its own Yinwa Steel. Moreover, Yinwa Steel is produced by itself, and the price is guaranteed.

“Mr. Qin, let’s train this group first. Can you ask Cong Gong to train them?”

"Of course not. We have just accepted the contract for five natural gas ships. Sister Cong Ju is very busy and has no time to do this kind of thing. I asked Sister Cong Ju's apprentice to come for training. Don't worry, in the final assessment, we will invite foreigners to assess. They will definitely meet the standards. .Zhengyang, call Sister Cong Ju’s apprentice over!”

 Soon, a young man came over.

"Come on, Xiao Zhao, let me introduce to you. This is the director of our Huating Shipyard." Qin Tao said: "Director Wang, this is Sister Cong Ju's apprentice, Zhao Qiu Shan."

Factory Director Wang frowned a little. The apprentice in front of him looked to be in his early twenties, and the beard on his lips had not yet grown.

OK?

Before Director Wang could question, Zhao Qiushan spoke: "Mr. Qin, our welding tasks are very tight. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. After you finish speaking, I will continue to work!"

How dare a young worker in this factory talk to the boss like this?

 Director Wang was shocked again.

Qin Tao was not angry either: "Qiu Shan, please don't take responsibility for the work over there for the time being. I will arrange new tasks for you."

“Mr. Qin, I just want to follow Cong Gong and not go anywhere.”

"No, this is an appointment from the group!" Qin Tao's face darkened, and he started to get tough. Only then did Zhao Qiu Shan compromise: "Okay, Mr. Qin, please arrange tasks for me."

“You have been working in our factory for two or three years, right?”

"Um."

“The factory is very satisfied with your performance, so our factory has decided to set up a technical school and you will be the person in charge of the technical school. This is a test for you from the group. You must not let down the group’s expectations.”

The front was still a factory, but later Qin Tao decided to talk bigger and directly talked about the group. Using these names to suppress him, Zhao Qiu Shan had to obey.

 “Well, I will definitely try my best.”

"The building of the technical school has been temporarily selected to be located in the warehouse No. 16 that we have vacated. The first batch of students in the technical school are from the sister units. There are more than 40 people in total. You must be responsible for their training."

“Well, Mr. Qin, the most I can do is train practical welding. This theory needs to be taught by others.”

"Others are not free. Let me tell you that in this technical school, whether it is theory or practice, principal or teacher, you are the only one at the moment." Qin Tao said: "You give them theoretical classes in the morning and welding training for them in the afternoon."

Zhao Qiushan had a mournful face, and it looked like he was extremely reluctant.

"What, are you having difficulties? Think about how Cong Gong educates you!" Qin Tao said: "We Mingzhou shipbuilders are never afraid of difficulties! Difficulties are like welding slag, we can use a hammer to remove them Knock it off!”

“Okay, Mr. Qin, let me try.”

"Tell you, if the passing rate cannot exceed 50%, I will ask Cong Gong to educate you."

“No, no, I’ll try my best.” Zhao Qiushan said, “How long is one semester for us?”

“No need to ask, isn’t a semester half a year? Those people are down there, now, go over and take over them!”

 “Oh.” Zhao Qiushan went down.

“Mr. Qin, you are really vigorous and resolute.” Director Wang said with emotion: “This is how your Mingzhou Group Technical School was established!”

“Of course.” Qin Tao said proudly.

Just now, he just wanted to get Zhao Qiu Shan to agree to teach apprentices. He would teach more than 40 people at once. Of course, he had to set up a technical school. But now, thinking about his arrangement, it is still very reasonable.

 They, Mingzhou Group, have always been in the process of development and have always been short of talents.

They started poaching people from other brother units, and later from Lao Maozi. However, this could only solve the temporary problem. In the future, if they want to continue to expand and develop, it is very important to cultivate talents themselves.

 A technical school affiliated to the group can cultivate the technical talents that the group urgently needs. Moreover, after recruiting students from the society, it is equivalent to direct distribution, which can also attract enough people.

Of course, there must be an elimination mechanism. Those who cannot pass the assessment will not be able to enter the Mingzhou Group. You cannot turn this place into a place where you eat from a big pot.

 Since it has been started, it cannot end in an anticlimax!

 That evening.

“President Qin, have you asked my apprentice Zhao Qiu Shan to open a technical school?” Cong Ju finished her day’s work and met Qin Tao when she was leaving work. She immediately started chatting with Qin Tao.

"Yes, our Mingzhou Group must have fresh blood, so we need to open a technical school. In the future, the scale of the technical school will continue to expand, and it will even be able to operate independently. It will not only be lathes, welders, etc., but also excavators will be able to operate in the future. .”

"That's not what I'm talking about. I've seen the list of welders. I know many of them. Their skills are first-rate and they can master welding skills in three months." Cong Ju said, "You set a half-year deadline for them. Isn’t the learning period a bit too long?”

"What is the growth?" Qin Tao said: "Even if they have completed their studies, can they take on the leading role? They have to practice. When their skills reach a certain level, then let them enter the welding workshop and you will personally supervise them. "

 Cong Ju finally understood.

 Mr. Qin has found a group of free labor force! If you don't have any technical ability, after half a year of studying in a technical school, you will be a junior welder at most. If you want to weld invar steel, you will have to go through several years of practice.

Disciples like Zhao Qiushan are definitely rare.

This batch of old welders from Huating Shipyard are different. Many of them have welding skills that are not inferior to Cong Ju's. They can weld Yinwa steel proficiently in two or three months. In the future, they will have learned almost everything and can Move them to the production line.

Externally, it is said that we are further training these welders, but in fact, we are using them as free labor force. No, they still have to pay for it!

 Mr. Qin’s move is so awesome!

"In the future, other shipyards will definitely send people here. In this way, our technical school will continue to receive master welders as apprentices, and the profits of our natural gas ships can increase by one percentage point." Qin Tao said: "However, these are small things. Let's talk about the future development of the technical school."

"Well, the technical school is indeed very important to the future development of our group." Cong Ju also recovered her thoughts and began to think about these things: "Our shipyard has always been in a state of shortage of manpower. The orders have been scheduled for a few years. We The infrastructure construction must also be further developed.”

"Sister Cong Ju, when technical schools develop in the future, our technical schools will also have to advertise." Qin Tao said: "I have already thought about the advertising slogan. Which company is better in learning technology? Look for Lanyang in Mingzhou, China! Our technical school is called Lanyang. Foreign technical school!”

 Cong Ju’s eyes are a little strange, Mr. Qin, are you serious?

Of course Qin Tao is serious. Although Lanxiang Technical School appeared in 1984 and continued to expand after cooperating with the army in 1988, it has not yet become nationally famous, and there will be no such opportunity in the future. .

 Qin Tao's Lanyang Technical School is not imitating Lanxiang Technical School. It is a shipyard itself, facing the blue ocean. Therefore, Lanyang Technical School places the hopes of the entire group.

By the way, we have to put up the sign of this technical school tomorrow!

 “Okay, whatever you want.”

 Many things Qin Tao did seemed absurd at first, but they were later proven to be correct. Therefore, Cong Ju would not question anything in this regard. Whatever Qin Tao wanted to do, he would just do it.

“Mr. Qin, the design office has completed the preliminary design. Please come and take a look.” At this moment, Xu Zhengyang came over.

 “Which design office?”

"third."

Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"

Although the Mingzhou Group does not yet have the ability to build submarines and has to wait to trick Lao Maozi, they must bring a model of the submarine to this defense exhibition. This is also an important way to demonstrate the capabilities of the Mingzhou Group. means.

 The design of the submarine was carried out by specialized personnel, and since it was only a general design, it came out quickly.

“Mr. Kvasa, thank you for your hard work.” After entering the design office and meeting Lao Maozi, Qin Tao was very polite.

“It’s not hard, we don’t have anything hard to do, life here is so good. I just don’t want to leave.” Kvasa said.

"You can stay here as long as you want." Qin Tao said: "We at Mingzhou Group are not exclusive. In our shipyard, there are many workers from abroad."

In the shipyard, the slipway where warships are manufactured is kept highly confidential and no one is allowed to approach it. However, this is not the case for other slipways. Kwasha and the others usually walked around the shipyard and had already seen people from the same country as them.

"Yes." Kvasa nodded: "We did see many compatriots. Your Mingzhou Group provided them with jobs so that they can work happily here. It is really good. By the way, let's look at the design first. Picture it."

 Qin Tao nodded, this kind of thing cannot be done in a hurry.

"Although it is an ordinary design drawing, we have looked at the various power systems currently available in your country and believe that your submarine, which limits the underwater displacement to 2,500 tons, should be the most suitable. ." Kvasa said: "Although you only need one design drawing, we also have to consider it realistically. It is the 396 diesel engine you use on the missile boat. Using three propulsion engines is a more suitable solution."

Qin Tao's eyes widened when he heard it. What is this called? Different paths leading to the same destination? The design indicators proposed by these old experts are very similar to the 039 submarines being built by domestic brother units!

 Two thousand five hundred tons of displacement, three MTU396 diesel engines, these data are almost the same.

"If the displacement is enlarged to 3,000 tons, four diesel engines will not be enough. Such a design will definitely be suspected." Krasnopolsky continued. Although he is engaged in nuclear submarine reactors, now, too I can put forward a lot of opinions on the power system.

Generally speaking, it is most suitable for a submarine to accommodate two diesel engines. Three is already a bit excessive, and no more will work.

Taking the famous Kilo-class as an example, the power system has two 4DL-42M diesel engines, one PG-141M electric motor for propulsion, one PG-142 low-speed cruise generator set, and up to two emergency diesel generator sets.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, this plan is feasible."

“As for speed, due to power limitations, the maximum underwater speed of this submarine should be around 20 knots, not too high.” Krasnopolski continued.

Qin Tao shook his head: "No, when we launch it to the outside world, we can mark it on section 23."

 “Isn’t this bad?”

“Our country already has an advanced twelve-phase power generation system. Although the power system has not been upgraded, after the application of this system, the power generation efficiency will be greatly increased.”

 The diesel engine does not directly drive the submarine, but generates electricity first. This eliminates the need for reduction gears and results in lower noise. However, at the same time, the efficiency of this power system has a lot to do with the generator and the electric motor.

 The old guys were surprised when they heard Qin Tao talking about the twelve-phase motor.

“When we launch product introductions, we will also mark this technology as it is the most advanced technology in our country.” Qin Tao said.

 In fact, the original purpose of going to Europe to purchase related technologies was for the manufacturing of domestic submarines. This kind of motor is specially used and is mainly used by submarines.

 A large number of outsourced technologies were used on the first-generation 039 submarines in China, but soon, these outsourced technologies could be digested and absorbed and transformed into their own technologies.

“If this kind of technology is available, data such as charging time can be reduced.” Krasnopolski continued: “It would be great if our submarines could also have this kind of system!”

This technology is also one that Batumi restricts from exporting to Lao Maozi. For Lao Maozi, it is not a big deal if the efficiency is lower. Just get a high-power diesel engine. They don't care, but that's just because they don't have it. If they had it, they would definitely be willing to use it!

Qin Tao had nothing to say about other designs, but after reading it, he thought of something: "Do you think it would be more attractive if our submarine could add an AIP section?"

“AIP section? Isn’t this easy?”

 “Yes, what technology are you planning to use?”

“For now, it will be based on four Stirling V4-275R engines, which can guarantee a month of underwater navigation.”

  Both the two old men expressed their dissatisfaction with Qin Tao's behavior of adding extra design work.

“In this case, the displacement will have to be increased to about three thousand tons!”

“Yes, the speed will be reduced to 20 knots again. If it uses that kind of Stirling engine, it would be good to be able to run at a speed of five knots underwater.”

“Yes, five knots is enough, everyone, please come on! Since we are going to take it out, it must be a product that can scare people to death.”

 This is the advantage of being a boss. You can increase the workload of your subordinates at any time. As long as he has a whim, his subordinates will be busy as dogs.
