Great Power Ship

Chapter 193 No Dock (Subscribe)

The speaker was the executive vice president of Hong Kong Island Shipping Company who had just been hired from Singapore. His name was Gao Song. He graduated from the Naval Engineering Department of the University of Paris in his early years, and then entered the French National Shipyard as a construction technician, assistant engineer and structural engineer.

At the end of the 70s, he resigned from the French national shipyard and joined the British Lloyds Register as the technical director of the shipbuilding standard department.

Afterwards, he was stationed in Singapore as the head of the business department of Lloyd's Register Singapore Office.

In the first half of this year, he was invited by Lin Shang, chairman of the board of directors of Hong Kong Island Shipping Company, to join Hong Kong Island Shipping Company as the chief technical expert of ship technology, with an annual salary of 240 million Hong Kong dollars, and he has stock options of 6 shares of Hong Kong Island Shipping Company.

Proper gold-collar executives.

But because of this, Gao Song's control of ship technology and quality has reached a harsh level. Not only has many old ferries and cargo ships under the Hong Kong Island Shipping Company been eliminated, but the newly built ships have also been inspected. A technical survey was conducted.

Orders will be canceled immediately for shipyards that fail to meet the requirements.

For a while, the operating costs of Hong Kong Island shipping companies rose sharply, but at the same time, Hong Kong Island shipping companies, which had frequent safety accidents, showed a clear downward trend.

The core demands of passengers and cargo owners for the operating ships are safety and efficiency. In the past, the high accident rate of the Hong Kong Island Shipping Company either caused passengers to be trapped at sea, or the cargo entrusted by the cargo owner was lost in the sea and could not be found.

Although the Hong Kong Island shipping company at that time lowered the fares and freight rates again and again, the cost was still high and some could not make ends meet.

Today, after the whole company's rectification in Gaosong, although the operating costs have gone up, the safer experience has reassured passengers and cargo owners, so the occupancy rate and cargo volume of ships have soared immediately.

It also created considerable economic benefits for Hong Kong Island Shipping Company.

Because of this, Lin Shang, the chairman of the board of directors, has more reliance and trust on Gao Song. Half a month ago, he formally nominated Gao Song as the executive vice president at the board meeting of the Hong Kong Island Shipping Company, who is responsible for the technical control and safe operation of the company's ships. Work.

And Gao Song's first cut in his tenure was on the six ferries and one 6-ton bulk carrier constructed by Zhujiang Plant.

In fact, Gao Song had long wanted to do something about this order, but he didn't move because of Lin Shang's face.

After all, it was Qin Gangsheng who led the thread, and Qin Gangsheng and Lin Shang were good friends in the early years. If Qin Gangsheng was the owner of that small shipyard before, it would be fine.

Now in the entire Hong Kong Island, no one knows that the Fengmao Cao family, which used to be in full swing, was directly crushed by Qin Gangsheng.

Not only was Feng Mao mortgaged to HSBC to repay the debt due to insolvency, but even the mid-level villa built by three generations of the Cao family had to be sold at a discount to repay the huge debts of other consortiums.

After this battle, Qin Gangsheng has become a rising star of Hong Kong Island's business, following the traces of the decline of the Cao family, he entered the core circle of Hong Kong Island's business community.

Lin Shang could not offend such a person, or he didn't want to offend him, so Gao Song, who was still the chief technical expert, wanted to move the Zhujiang factory's order, but Lin Shang suppressed it.

But now the facts prove that Gao Song's strategy is correct. Without strict system requirements, there will be no continuous good benefits, so Lin Shang doesn't care about any face. If his own strength is not good enough, no matter how big the face The other party may not buy it, if he is strong enough, Qin Gangsheng will have to bear it no matter how small the face is.

The key is strength, and Gao Song is his strength multiplier on the forest.

That being the case, Lin Shang simply let go and let Gao Song do whatever he wanted.

Gao Song, who had long wanted to attack the Zhujiang factory, would not be polite.

This is not because Gao Song is targeting Zhujiang factory specifically, but because this technical elite who was born in Singapore and received a complete Western-style education since childhood has a natural distrust of domestic shipbuilding technology.

No way, the information that Gao Song received since he was a child is that the country is ignorant and backward, and this is even more so after studying in France, so that Gao Song always feels that the overall level of the country is similar to that of southern Africa, and even worse in some aspects underdeveloped southern Africa.

How can such a level complete the ship technical standards of Hong Kong Island Shipping Company formulated by him?
Because of this, the orders placed by Hong Kong Island Shipping Company in several shipyards in the mainland were ruthlessly rejected by Gao Song, all because the technical indicators of these shipyards did not meet the latest standards without exception.

Gao Song is picky about his nose and eyes, and he insists on picking bones. On the other hand, these mainland shipyards that undertake Hong Kong Island shipping companies are not very up to date.

Not to mention the chaotic internal management, the use of various technical equipment and processes is also sloppy.

If people don't take it seriously, they can still fool them. Once they are serious, they will see all loopholes. Coupled with Gao Song's prejudice and deliberate targeting, he will naturally cancel all the orders.

And these canceled orders were packaged and handed over to South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding Company by Gao Song. Compared with European shipbuilding technology, the overall strength is still very strong.

All in all, it is a very good choice for the price.

This is true of other shipyards in the mainland, and the 6 ferries and 1 2500-ton bulk carrier in Zhujiang are no exception. Gao Song is also planning to pack them up and hand them over to Daewoo Shipbuilding Company for construction. Because of this, Gao Song fell to Hong Kong Island Shipping Company The delegation's visit to the Zhujiang factory was not a progress inspection on the surface.

Obviously, they came here to find fault, so they canceled the orders for the construction of several ships in Zhujiang Plant with a reason that seemed more legitimate to the outside world.

The Zhujiang factory is naturally aware of this. After all, what Gao Song did before has already spread to the ears of the Zhujiang factory through domestic friends, so the Zhujiang factory is naturally prepared.

Wen Dawei, in particular, was particularly concerned about this matter.

There is no way, the success or failure of the shipbuilding of Zhujiang Factory is very critical. If it is successful, not to mention that it can make a fortune, at least the road ahead will be easier; if it loses, I'm sorry, the shipbuilding road of Zhujiang Factory is estimated It will take another three or four years to get a clue.

Wen Dawei couldn't afford to wait for three or four years.

Therefore, Wen Dawei asked the shipyard to speed up the construction of No. 6 of the 6 ferries, and strive to reach the ready-to-launch state before Gao Song came, hoping to make the above [-] orders a fait accompli.

On the other hand, it is to strengthen internal management and change the appearance of the entire shipyard so that Gao Song who came over can't find any fundamental faults.

Unexpectedly, Gao Song came up and poked at the flaws of Zhujiang Factory—there was no dock, not only no dock, but also no simple slipping and falling of ships, so don’t say that Zhang Dingjun always emphasized that the times have changed, it is Zhang Dingjun who said that the old God, Gao Song couldn't even listen to a word, so he just killed him in one move!
Zhang Dingjun was naturally unconvinced, and wanted to explain, but Wen Dawei stopped him with his hand, and then saw Wen Dawei looking at Gao Song who was opposite: "Mr. It was built in the dock, so I think your statement is a bit biased!"
