Compared to the surging crowd at the shipyard, the designers at Clover were in small groups, walking briskly into their own world. They all also received requests for the Whale Dream Project to build the Blue Whale.
Notice, everyone was talking along the way, thinking that this was an unprecedented challenge.
"All members of the design department will come to the conference room immediately and will not be absent!"
Everyone just entered the office, and some didn't even turn on their computers, when they received the notification.
Zhou Yan, who had only slept for a few hours, was woken up by the alarm clock. He washed his face several times with cold water to clear his somewhat chaotic brain. He thought about the topics to prepare, and then called for a plenary meeting of Fuhai Group's design department.
There are dozens of conference rooms in the Clover Building. Almost every design team has a small conference room. Speaking of large conference rooms, there is only one, which is usually used as a lecture hall.
Zhou Yan arrived early as always. He stood in the corner and waited quietly for the babies from the Fuhai Group to file in. The designers seemed to be familiar with Zhou Yan's habits, and after saying hello, they all took their seats.
The concept of time is the soul of the design department. After only five minutes, all the design department staff arrived.
"We are meeting now. I am announcing an appointment. It was proposed by the Design Department and approved by the General Engineering Office of the Group. Comrade Zhang Su will be appointed as the Director of the Second Design Department!" Zhou Yan opened his mouth with a decision that surprised many people but was also taken for granted.
Zhang Su himself is the chief designer and a top student from a prestigious university. After joining Fuhai Group, he participated in many projects, especially some major projects, and his achievements are obvious to all within the design department.
, this is a matter of course.
But now that the Whale Dream Project has begun, and he was promoted to be the director of the second department at this time, it is clear that the group company has other plans.
Following a burst of applause, Zhang Su, who seemed a little surprised, stood up and waved to everyone.
"Please cooperate with me and take care of me in the future!"
"The Whale Dream Plan, led by the Fuhai Group Party Committee and Board of Directors and participated by all departments of the group, has now begun to be implemented. This plan was formulated to build the world's most advanced seventh-generation semi-submersible drilling platform. From now on, the group's focus will be
It will tilt towards the Whale Dream Plan, so our design department will also make a series of adjustments, and some employees will be transferred from their current positions. Please be mentally prepared!"
Zhou Yan glanced at the noisy crowd below, and then continued: "Today and tomorrow, the personnel who received the notice need to hand over the work at hand carefully and quickly, and all of them will enter their new jobs within this week at the latest! Everyone still has
What’s unclear?”
The designers all looked at each other and spoke so clearly that they naturally did not put forward too many ideas.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting! Director Zhang stays!" Zhou Yan waved his hand, and the five-minute plenary meeting ended.
"Director Zhou, this appointment is a bit unexpected!" Zhang Su came to Zhou Yan.
"Is there any surprise? It's just a little bit ahead of schedule!" Zhou Yan naturally didn't say that he had chatted with Zhang Yujie for more than half an hour last night, all focusing on Zhang Su's growth and performance.
He can pave the way for taking over this job.
Zhou Yan also knows that front-line promotion is a very difficult matter for leaders. Rushing to promote an important middle-level leader without strict examination is still very risky for the group.
"You must have spoken in front of the group leaders, otherwise it would not have happened so quickly. At least I would have to work as chief designer for another three years!" Zhang Su knew the secret behind this.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!" Zhou Yan waved his hand and took out an A4 piece of paper from his pocket, "It's not free to let you be the director of the second department. I want to remove most of the current staff of the second department.
, these are what I left for you, you see who else you need, I can coordinate within three, but not more!"
Zhang Su also knew that the director of his second department was probably not a polished commander, and he didn't have many people under his command. He took the list and quickly glanced at it, and was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhou Yan had left a few key members for him, so that he wouldn't let him down.
Catch yourself blind.
"Don't thank me. I'm also afraid that all the backbones will be taken away and you won't be able to handle it. Four projects are not a small matter. I have guaranteed support from Chief Engineer Zhang!" Zhou Yan waved his hand.
"I understand!" Zhang Su has been with Zhou Yan for these years and understands what to do. This desperate attitude was passed down from Zhang Yujie.
"But, what should you do over there? The Whale Dream Project is more important!"
Zhou Yan sighed and said: "I'll support the big frame first, and I'll ask the chief engineer for the rest. In a factory as big as Fuhai Group, we shouldn't be the only ones with three melons and two jujubes, right?"
Zhang Su couldn't answer this. It's true that this thing doesn't work well. Designers are not just a few general workers on the street who can get started. Just professionalism and academic qualifications are enough to get stuck.
people.
The two quickly agreed on the personnel of the second department. Apart from the few backbones, there were only some college students who had just graduated one or two years ago. Although they could not join the Whale Dream Project, they could still obtain resources from these existing projects.
The experience also left Zhang Su with a few odd-job workers.
The design department, which has been expanded several times, has become the exclusive design team of Whale Dream Project, occupying two entire buildings of Clover. You can see the beaming smiles on everyone's faces. However, only a few core members know about this unprecedented project.
For them, it is a big mountain to overcome.
This requires more arduous efforts to complete. Once it fails, the consequences will be very tragic and may even shake the foundation of Fuhai Group.
With Zhou Yan's advance notice, the handover of the design department went smoothly, and both Zhou Yan and Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhang Su, you are now Fuhai Group's guarantee for the next period of time. The design work of the Blue Whale may not be that easy. These projects are the driving force supporting the development of Fuhai Group. You must not be careless!"
Zhou Yan’s numerous instructions made Zhang Su feel that the burden on his shoulders was particularly heavy. Although he could not participate in the design work of the Whale Dream Project, providing support and guarantees was a great contribution. After all, the Blue Whale was worth billions
projects without sufficient economic strength to support them, the consequences can be imagined.
After Zhou Yan sent Zhang Su away, he quietly looked at the drilling platform model on the table. It was the most advanced in the world. This could not be achieved just by talking.
More than ten years ago, there were no Chinese companies in the world's offshore engineering equipment field. It was not until the birth of Offshore Oil 981 that China's offshore engineering equipment came to prominence.
In such a short period of time, wanting to surpass the world's peers is simply a fantasy in the eyes of many people. Even Zhou Yan himself has no idea whether this matter can be successful.
