Chapter 256 The Wonder of Management: Using Wine to Manage Old Maozi Workers

6000 million, buy a Hyundai class?That is absolutely impossible!When we bought the Four King Kongs, we used 28 tons of gold. Now, this price is quite cheap.

Qin Tao is very interesting. The so-called rebate is just an excuse, an excuse to continue bargaining. It is to get real benefits for the navy. These guys in front of them don't appreciate it!

Wu Shengli looked at his colleagues a little speechlessly: "If you want to buy junk, there is still a business. Lao Maozi bought a 3000-ton comprehensive supply ship and an icebreaker together. A total of [-] million."

3000 million, just packaged and bought the icebreaker and comprehensive supply ship?This is absolutely worth it!

The eyes of everyone present were brightened.

"Selling that icebreaker to the Antarctic scientific expedition team is what they are most eager for. 2000 million, not much at all."

"That's right, that's right, so we only need to spend 1000 million to get that comprehensive supply ship..."

"Both are semi-finished products and need to be refitted." Wu Shengli said to his colleagues.

"Modification? I didn't say this, just put it in the Mingzhou Shipyard for refitting!"

"That's right, that's right, don't gossip about anyone, if you have the ability, go and spend 1000 million to get a supply ship back. Even if it costs 2000 million to refit, our navy can afford it!"

"However, I heard that they have a lot of orders now, and the construction period is very tight." A leader said: "Director Qin digs people everywhere, offends people everywhere, and the people he digs back are not enough for them!"

"Yes, they are developing too fast, and the infrastructure can be built with money, but there is a shortage of manpower, and shipbuilding is always a problem."

"Insufficient manpower?" Wu Shengli smiled: "There are a thousand veteran skilled workers, is it enough?"

"What?"

Mingzhou Shipyard.

"Running water, running water!"

The dock has entered the final stage of construction, and everyone is working intensely. While the concrete is being poured, a gust of water suddenly spews out from one place, as if it is finally venting unwillingly.

"Let me do it!" Kong Lao Er yelled, carrying a bucket of water glass on his shoulders, which is a special adhesive, used to plug leaks, he walked on the steel frame, trotted all the way, rushed To that spout, then twist the mouth of the barrel, pour the water glass down all at once, then press the barrel firmly with both hands, and press the water glass with the body of the barrel.

The water flow from the spray washed away part of the water glass, and it rushed everywhere, and the remaining water glass was pressed by Kong Laoer's hands, blocking the water spout, and the water finally stopped flowing.

However, Kong Laoer didn't dare to let go, he was still holding on, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes.

After 10 minutes, he finally let go of his hands. At this time, his hands had completely changed color, and a lot of solidified water glass was stained on them, but there was a hearty smile on his face: " Hmph, you monster, where can you escape!"

Everyone laughed. Recently, there was occasional TV on the construction site, mainly Journey to the West. Kong Er Er was addicted.

"Continue to pour the cement!" Kong Lao Er shouted loudly.

If the cement is covered again, there will be no problem at all here.

"After two or three days of work, the dock will almost be finished." Standing beside the dock, Qin Baoshan watched this scene with great emotion: "At most one week, these two bulk carriers will be moved to To build in the dock, when the time comes, there will be more manpower.”

"Yes." Zhang Yang, the welder, was also a little anxious: "Now, we don't have enough skilled craftsmen in our factory. The construction period is too fast, and I'm afraid it won't be completed. Director Qin, you can't do it for us anymore. Is the spot welder back?"

Qin Baoshan was also very anxious: "Do you think I don't want to? During this period of time, I have traveled all over the shipyards. Along the way, I encountered at least three robbers. Hmph, I said they were robbers. I think they were all shipbuilders. The factory is looking for someone to give my old man a blow!"

Qin Baoshan went to dig people, and the other shipyards were also in a hurry. If they couldn't do it clearly, they came secretly and robbed them on the way!
Even if Qin Baoshan gave up his old life, he would not be able to recruit more people.

Aircraft carrier, destroyer, missile boat, gas ship, bulk carrier... Which project does not need people?

"We still need at least a thousand skilled workers." Zhang Yang said, "If we can't get them, I'm afraid we will be overwhelmed by these orders."

I can't eat, I have to eat so much, the construction period can't be met, and the ship can't be delivered by the delivery deadline, so I have to compensate for the loss. Except for the two bulk carriers, other ship contracts have compensation clauses!
Qin Baoshan also became anxious: "Yes, of course we are in a hurry, but there is nothing we can do. If we find some beginners, the skills are not good, and we may have to rework."

"By the way, where did Cong Gong go? Didn't you see Cong Gong today?" Zhang Yang became curious.

After getting busy with work, Cong Ju's weak body is just like a man's all day long, scrambling around in the shipyard, and has never been absent. Anyway, the shipyard has also arranged for people to take care of the children so that they can work wholeheartedly .

But today, Cong Gong didn't seem to show up?
"Cong Gong went out today and said he was picking up someone."

"Pick up? Mr. Qin is back? No, Mr. Qin is back, there is no need for someone to pick him up."

While talking, Maz trucks drove in from a distance, and the back of the truck was full of people.

"Hey, Factory Manager Qin, here comes another person? How much does it have to be?"

Twenty or thirty people can sit in the cargo bed of a truck. One after another, at least thirty or forty vehicles will drive over. How many people must there be in it?
Qin Baoshan also opened his eyes wide. Looking at this scene, he was suddenly stunned: "These are all old men!"

Those people were originally sitting in the back of the car, but when the car drove into the shipyard, these people knew they had reached their destination, so they stood up and looked around. Many of them had beards all over their faces. Just by looking at their appearance, you can know their origins.

"Old man?"

The car stopped in the open space of the shipyard, and Cong Ju's voice sounded: "Get out of the car, let's find the dormitory first!"

Then, it was the voice of the interpreter brought by Cong Ju, who translated Cong Ju's words, and also took a loudspeaker, and the whole shipyard could hear it clearly, and the babbling Russian was incompatible with this place.

Thousands of old men!
Qin Baoshan felt his head explode, what's going on?
What are these old men doing here?

"Wine, where is the wine?"

"Vodka, we want vodka!"

The old man was not easy to talk to, he got off the plane, took a bumpy ride all the way to the destination, and thought of Qin Tao's promise, the glutton had already come up.

"Alcohol is available, but you have to wait until you officially go to work, and you can only drink after work for a day!" Cong Ju responded loudly, and the translator spread the news with a loudspeaker.

"Then let's work now, right now!" They couldn't help it anymore.

Now?

Cong Ju looked in the direction of the dock helplessly.

Qin Tao just came back with a message, and brought back a group of skilled workers from Lao Maozi, most of whom had welded aircraft carriers, and asked Cong Ju to pick them up and arrange work. Don't let them get started on the warship project, and work on civilian ships first. In addition to eating and drinking normally, just keep a bottle of wine every night.

Cong Ju didn't expect that Qin Tao actually got thousands of old men. How to arrange accommodation is a big problem. Now, these old men are calling for drinking again, thinking that there will be one thousand more in the shipyard in the future. Old Maozi, Cong Ju had an incomparable headache.

Now, under the stimulation of drinking, the other party asks to work immediately, what should I do?
Let them weld the bulk carrier. Anyway, the construction period of these two ships is not too late. Even if the welding is broken, there is no problem with rework. The welders on the bulk carrier are all transferred from other positions, so let them They return to their previous work station.

"Then go to the dock and weld the sections of the bulk carrier. Now, I will assign you tasks..."

"Ula, Ula!" These workers chanted slogans and rushed to the bulk carrier's work station, but they didn't listen to Cong Ju's order!

Cong Ju's face was ugly, and she didn't want workers who disobeyed management, no matter how good their skills were!
A welder was submerged in welding, and the sparks of the arc were constantly moving forward under his hands. He had just finished welding a welding rod and was going to clamp a new welding rod. Then, a pair of big hands came over and directly welded his welding rod. Grab it!
"Hey, what are you doing?"

The welder was in a hurry. The work was so stressful, why did you make such a mess?

He was very annoyed, turned his head to look at the person who snatched his welding handle, and was immediately taken aback, foreigner?
Kozlov, who was tall and thick, ignored the welder's complaints, and directly picked up a row of welding rods with a welding handle, poked out sparks, and continued to weld along the weld just now.

The beautiful fish scale pattern was continuously formed, and the welder was a little surprised, because this guy didn't get the mask, so he just welded with his head behind his back. This skill is comparable to Cong Gong's!

At other stations, the welding torches of the welders were all robbed. The big guy started to complain, and then looked at these skilled guys with some surprise, and was stunned.

The technology is not weak!Although I haven't seen these people show their welder certificates, experts can tell at a glance that the skills of these old men are a level higher than theirs.

Cow, cow!

The welders all rushed over, and the people of other types of work did not show any weakness. Some ran to the place where the steel plate was rolled, facing the design drawing, and began to grab the operation wrench to roll the steel plate, and some ran to the station where the steel plate was cut , began to cut the steel plate in a dignified manner.

Since the newly ordered plasma cutting machine in the factory is not yet in place, ordinary oxyacetylene flames are used to cut steel plates at this station. For Lao Maozi, these tasks are also very easy.

After 10 minutes, all the work stations are full of old men.

Qin Baoshan opened his eyes wide and watched this group of fresh troops join in. If they take over the construction task of the two bulk carriers, the skilled workers who are vacated can return to their original positions, and the production in the factory You can go step by step and return to normal!
"Where did you find these people?" Qin Baoshan asked Cong Ju.

"Boss Qin found it." Cong Ju said, "I heard that this group of people all came from the Black Sea Shipyard."

"Black Sea Shipyard, the only aircraft carrier shipyard in the Red Empire?" Zhang Yang looked at these workers with emotion: "No wonder their craftsmanship is so exquisite!"

Although Lao Maozi doesn't need to take the shipbuilding certificate of Lloyd's Shipping Society, those who can build aircraft carriers are definitely good people. What method did President Qin use to lure them over?
Zhang Yang's eyes were full of shock, and after the shock, Qin Baoshan showed a trace of worry on his face: "These people are a good group of new troops, but during the time Taozi came back, we want to It's not easy to manage them well!"

"That's right, if they form cliques, we really can't control them. These people are all barbaric." Zhang Yang said, and he could get a glimpse of them just now when they came up to grab jobs.

In the past, Mingzhou Shipyard was full of local people, and this situation was not serious, but later, with Qin Baoshan looking for people from all over the world, newcomers always like to get close to the fellow villagers.

Although there is no clique forming yet and everyone is busy with work, this danger is still lurking.

Now, when these old men come, they will explode at any time.

People in the shipyard used to speak different dialects, but at least they were all Chinese, and they could understand it. The old man was different. He babbled and said birds, and no one else knew what they were talking about. They could easily make it up. a whole.

"If it is convenient to manage them, it is best to let them work on a project, or even select some outstanding talents from among them to be the leaders of each group. As long as they are assigned production tasks every day, they work by themselves and divide the work among themselves. Cooperation makes the fastest progress." Qin Baoshan has already begun to consider: "However, if these people are only on one project, they will undoubtedly form gangs and isolate themselves from the rest of the shipyard, so if they are allowed to work with the shipyard If you want to integrate into one, you should break them up and mix them into other groups."

The two options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and how to choose is really a headache.

"Of course it is to let them work together. For us, the most important thing at present is the progress. The two bulk carriers should be handed over to them. Discuss with the shipowner's representative. As for the issue of gang formation , don’t worry too much.” Cong Ju said: “If anyone dares to create conflicts, then don’t give them alcohol!”

Although Boss Qin didn't give many orders, he emphasized one point. To manage these people, just use wine!
If you behave well, give them a bottle of wine every night, if you behave badly, hum, then bear with it!
These people work together, cooperate with each other, coordinate easily, and maybe speed up the progress.

"By the way, I have to say hello to the logistics people, and hurry up to buy a batch of wine. If they can't drink wine tonight, they can really blow up our shipyard."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements." Qin Baoshan said.

Although he is the director of the factory, Qin Baoshan understands that what he is best at is logistics. It is good to leave these front-line production to the people who Qin Tao values. Regardless of whether Qin Tao is there or not, he can manage the shipyard in an orderly manner.

Just as Qin Baoshan stood up, his expression changed again: "The shipowner's representative has passed by, they won't protest against our temporary change of workers, will they?"

These welders seem to be working without a license.

Azhar, the representative of the ship owner, came over with a livid face. He just went back to the office to take a drink of water. After he came out, why did all the workers change? Where did these people come from?

And, most importantly, he didn't know!The person in charge of Mingzhou Shipyard replaced everyone without notifying him. How could this work? This is simply ignoring his existence!

Hazard is still very young, but this does not mean that he is easy to bully.

The representatives of the shipowners have always been crazy, just like the representatives hired by Siam, which is currently supervising the construction of the aircraft carrier, came to Mingzhou and planned to give these people a blow.

Their words are orders, and if they disagree, they will be asked to rework.

However, being an overseer for these two ships is an exception.

Just look at the construction contract. Almost all the clauses are beneficial to the shipyard. Therefore, after receiving the invitation, many famous supervisors glanced at the contract and rejected it. Only the young Azar had the opportunity to get this contract. Work.

When he came here, he was very low-key. He established a good relationship with the people of Mingzhou Shipyard, and everything was discussed.

But today, this kind of thing is still unacceptable to him. Hmph, do you really think that you can do whatever you want because you are easy to talk about?

"Hey, where are you from?" Azar patted the shoulder of a worker squatting there welding.

The man turned his head, gave him a dissatisfied look, and then froze.

"Azar?"

"Solokin?"

The two actually knew each other!

"A few years ago, you disappeared in our 444 shipyard. Everyone thought they would never see you again. Unexpectedly, you came to the East?"

"No, I didn't come to the East. I just stayed in Western Europe. Western Europe, which is abundant in supplies, is simply a paradise. I don't want to live in the Soviet Union anymore. By the way, how are you?"

"We? We are like this. We thought that the Red Empire is gone, and our life will be better. Unexpectedly, there is no shortage of wine, but we can't afford it. By the way, aren't you in Western Europe? How did you come here? ?”

"Me? I'm the owner's representative of these two bulk carriers, and I'm here to supervise your shipbuilding."

"Supervision? This is very similar to your original job."

These people started making noises, which startled Qin Baoshan. After passing by with Cong Ju and the translator, he realized that these people actually knew each other!

It's easy to get to know each other!
"Mr. Azar, these people will be responsible for building two bulk carriers in the future. Do you have any objections?" Cong Ju began to negotiate with Azar.

"Of course, their skills are superb, and I completely trust them."

"Since you are so familiar with them, let's divide them into working groups. Please select some working group leaders from among these people. Every morning, we will assign tasks to each working group according to the drawings. Now, as long as the division of labor is reasonable, I believe that the ship will be delivered to your customers according to the contract time."

Hazard nodded: "Of course there is no problem on time. If the coordination is good, it can be one or two months earlier."

"Regarding the issue of work discipline, please take care of me. These people can only drink one bottle of wine after work every day, which will not affect the work of the next day. If they drink recklessly and become alcoholics, then we will dispatch labor according to The agreement has the power to send them back. If you send them away, you will lose a capable person."

These jobs are not represented by shipowners, but since they know each other well and there is no barrier to language communication, so of course, those who can do more work.

Azar nodded: "If anyone dares to drink too much and miss work the next day, I will whip them!"

More than 1000 workers settled down in this way. Since then, there have been more old-fashioned faces in the shipyard. At first, it attracted the attention of other people, and then gradually got used to it.

Moreover, these people work really fast!

The workers in the shipyard have put in all their strength, and we must not let the old man surpass us, so we have to work hard!

The problem of shortage of manpower in the shipyard was solved, and the production was in full swing.

Yang Dawei from the design department of the shipyard quietly came to Huating International Airport, beside him were Zhao Changshui, the person in charge of Huating, and the old leader, Mr. Pan.

At the airport reception, an old man with a complex expression looked at everything around him. In his impression, the east seemed to be very backward, just like the countryside in the Soviet Union. However, everything here surprised him incomparably.

Row upon row of high-rise buildings and busy construction everywhere, when the plane landed, he looked at the land below, full of vitality, which formed a sharp contrast with his homeland.

Coming here may really be the right choice!Such a feeling surged in Babbage's heart.

The relevant departments had already made arrangements. He walked through a separate passage, not with other passengers, so he looked a little lonely. Then, at the exit, someone waved to him.

"Mr. Babich, welcome to the East. I am Pan, and I am currently in charge of the design and construction of our most advanced 052 destroyer. This is Yang, who is in charge of the construction of the anti-aircraft destroyer. This is Zhao, who is in charge of the propeller production plant. On behalf of China, we welcome you." Elder Pan speaks fluent Russian.

"It's a great honor." Babich said, "I hope that I can complete my unfinished business here."

"Please rest assured that this wish will come true." Elder Pan said, "Please follow us first. When we arrive at your residence, there will be a simple welcome ceremony. Some leaders of our navy will have a cordial exchange with you. It's about the aircraft carrier."

Babbage's itinerary must be low-key. In the next few years, Babbage will not be able to appear publicly outside. Therefore, the naval leaders must not come to the airport to greet Babbage. Such a battle is too big.

However, when it comes to residences and hidden places, reception is inevitable.

The naval leaders still have a lot of ideas to ask Babbage.
