Without too much nonsense, Lin Wenqing introduced to Lin Mo the situation of the tug-barge fleet he saw. The background was relatively complicated, so he also explained the situation of the Lin family's investment in building a shipyard.
Because the main layout of the Lin family's industry is inland, and the domestic industrial base is weak, a large number of machines and even building materials need to be transported in the early stage, as well as raw materials, parts, etc. purchased from other regions in the country and even abroad for early production.
etc., it may also need to be transported after production, resulting in a huge transportation demand, and the most realistic and even feasible solution is water transportation.
Starting from the Yangtze River Estuary, it takes more than 2,000 kilometers to sail along the Yangtze River to reach Sichuan and Chongqing. Although there is no shortage of water transportation tools in the country, most of them are old and traditional wooden ships without mechanical power, which are not very satisfactory for them.
need.
What's more, this demand itself is a good business. In addition, among the scrap machinery and equipment and drawings and materials purchased, there are a lot of things related to ships. Therefore, the Lin family also lists shipbuilding as an important investment, and also in other industries.
Investment and construction were carried out early before.
After repairing the old machinery and equipment, sorting out relevant drawings and materials, we also hired high-paying employees from shipyards and other places in the vast coastal cities from the south to the north of Guangxi to the northeast, such as Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Shanghai, Tianjin and other places.
There are a large number of engineers and excellent technicians, many of whom have taken great pains to find shipbuilding talents who came from the Northeast and have no job or are unsatisfied.
In terms of machinery and equipment, in addition to the old machinery and equipment on hand, we also specially purchased a batch of new equipment, such as convenient and fast gas cutting equipment, welding equipment and related materials, and even rivets and heated rivets were purchased and configured.
Latest machines.
In order to put into production as soon as possible, a batch of high-quality steel materials such as marine steel plates and frames were purchased from outside. This was all squeezed out of speculative funds. The configuration in all aspects can be said to be heroic. Unfortunately, the results were not very satisfactory, and even became some
The laughing stock in people's eyes.
The first is shipyard construction. The Lin family chose Yibin, Chongqing, Yichang, and Wuhan to build shipyards. Unfortunately, in Yibin and Chongqing, even the cement and steel bars for the construction of the dock slipway had to be imported from outside.
As for the steel used in shipbuilding, not to mention these, there are not many domestic companies that can produce them, let alone Sichuan where the warlord war is not over yet. Due to limited transportation capacity, it has to be temporarily shelved. It is only repaired and excavated in two places.
the venue.
The second is the ships built. The Lin family only plans four categories of tonnage, large and small. One is the 100-ton ship repair factory, which mainly builds new ships within 100 tons, and repairs and renovates old wooden ships. In fact, it is to add power to the old wooden ships.
Convert it to a sail or motor boat.
One type is a 300-ton shipyard, which builds new ships with a tonnage of around 300 tons; a type 500-ton shipyard, which builds new ships with a tonnage of around 500 tons; and the remaining type is a 1,000-ton shipyard, which mainly builds
These are still new ships of 500 tons to 1,000 tons, but the construction capacity of ships with over 1,000 tons is reserved.
Many people looked at the commotion the Lin family made earlier and thought it was some big move, but in the end you did this? Many people mocked you, saying that looking at your commotion, those who didn't know thought you were going to build something.
No matter how big the ship is, you can only build a giant ship of 1,000 tons.
The Lin family doesn't care much about this, and is even happy about it. After all, the Lin family still needs time to settle down and develop and grow. Being looked down upon may not look good, but it can save a lot of trouble.
Besides, the Lin family builds ships for transportation in rivers, and the most important thing is to ensure that they can be navigable in the Three Gorges waterway. No matter how big the ship is, it is useless! Besides, the price paid by the Lin family cannot buy a larger shipyard.
With old equipment, old technical drawings, etc., a ship of this tonnage is the most useful and realistic.
Regarding the specific investment and construction situation, Yibin is only planning to invest in the construction of 100-ton and 300-ton shipyards, mainly to build ships for transportation on Sichuan routes, but in fact it is more about the idea of not putting all the eggs in one basket.
In Chongqing, it is the focus of the layout. What is being prepared is one thousand-ton medium-sized shipyard, one 500-ton medium-large shipyard, two 300-ton medium-sized shipyards, and one large or two or three small and medium-sized repair yards. Maybe
There will be five to eight shipyards.
Of course, they cannot all be concentrated in the urban area or surrounding areas, but are scattered in surrounding counties and cities. The various layouts of the Lin family are based on the outbreak of war, so naturally they cannot be gathered together to facilitate bombing.
As for the size of the shipyard, it is classified according to the standards set by the Lin family. After it is fully completed and put into operation, the small shipyard can build and launch at least one thousand tons a year, the medium plant can build and launch more than three thousand tons a year, and the large plant can build five thousand tons a year. Small and medium-sized,
CUHK is somewhere in between.
The size of the ships is mainly based on newly built 300-ton and 500-ton ships. It is assumed that the 500-ton ship should be the main ship on the Three Gorges and the Yangtze River waterway in Sichuan, and the 300-ton ship should be the main ship on other waterways in Sichuan.
The 100-ton-level repair and maintenance plant is to develop the transportation potential of existing ships.
Yichang also has four types of shipyards, but there is only one factory in each type. The Lin family does not think that the Japanese can attack here, and it is likely to become a shipping hub within and outside Sichuan, so the bet is not low.
Lin Mo did not object to this arrangement. He did not know whether the Japanese could attack this place in this life. Moreover, the Lin family also believed that this place might be damaged by a large-scale air raid by the Japanese, so they also made plans for the removal and relocation of the factory.
Yichang is a small and medium-sized 1,000-ton shipyard. The Lin family believes that it should be put into production as soon as possible to transport large equipment and machines, so as to speed up the construction progress in the rear. Three hundred and five hundred are also small and medium-sized shipyards, each with a hundred-ton class.
There are two medium-sized shipyards, both of which are still under construction, and even the equipment has just been negotiated for purchase.
The Lin family also wants to buy the main equipment of the shipyard. They only buy new small and medium-sized equipment such as cutting, welding, and riveting. It is mainly because it is affordable and cost-effective. In fact, the difference between the new and the old of this kind of large equipment is not that big. On the contrary, it is old.
Most of these devices are more mature and reliable in their design.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, most of this type of equipment is used for moving, pressing, bending and rolling, etc. The new equipment cannot actually improve the efficiency much. As for
It can only be said that the Lin family has not fully understood the new shipbuilding technologies and processes involved. Even the old ones have not been fully understood. It is even unclear how many years it will take to fully understand them. They do not want to run away before they can walk. Instead, it is those small new equipment and new technologies.
Craftsmanship has significantly improved construction efficiency, which is why the Lin family got it. After all, they really need time.
The person I was looking for was the same person as before. The remaining goods from the bankrupt factory and related waste materials had been delivered. The Lin family also paid the balance as promised. The first batch of money transferred after clearing the silver contract was transferred to Hong Kong after several exchanges in various places.
After that, the money was transferred to the other party after exchanging currency. The two parties are currently in contact and preparing for further cooperation.
The Lin family is sure that the shipyard in Wuhan will be dismantled and moved to the rear once the Sino-Japanese war breaks out. As for why it is still being built? Because the transportation capacity is insufficient! It needs to be solved urgently, otherwise whether it is machinery, materials or other things, it will be very difficult.
It is difficult to find enough transportation capacity to support the series of planned layouts behind the Lin family.
By choosing Wuhan, firstly, the distance for transporting shipbuilding materials is shorter and faster; secondly, once the war breaks out, space will be replaced by time, and it will also give the Lin family time to dismantle and relocate; thirdly, the industrial base of the three towns in Wuhan is considered very good in the country.
, we can borrow these ready-made factories and enterprises to provide some supporting facilities for the shipyard, so that the shipyard can start production as soon as possible.
At present, the old equipment that has been remanufactured and the new equipment that has been purchased have basically been invested in the shipyards in Wuhan. What is planned is to build one large shipyard of 300 tons, one of 500 tons, and two medium and large shipyards of 100 tons.
There are no large-scale shipyards in the first three places. Some of them do not have much demand, such as thousand-ton shipyards. Some of them control the scale of the shipyards to prevent losses caused by attacks, but it is different here. They will be relocated as soon as the war breaks out, so there is no need for them.
That's a waste of time.
However, the shipyard is also built in batches, and a part of it is completed and put into production directly. A small part of the 500-ton shipyard has just been completed and put into trial production, and the keel of the first ship has just been laid.
The 300-ton shipyard was the fastest to start production and had the most complete types of shipbuilding equipment. The Lin family directly took over an old local Jiangguang Shipyard. Although it was dilapidated, it had ready-made docks, canals, etc. and could be used after renovation and reconstruction.
The Lin family also spent a lot of effort to put it into use, so a part of it was completed and put into production a few months ago, and the part that was put into production has directly reached the scale of a medium-sized shipyard.
The reason why the 100-ton class is divided into two is because of the direct use of existing old shipyards, and the repair shop is mainly for refitting old ships. These ships are generally small, and medium and large-scale can build a lot of ships at the same time. No matter how large the scale is,
A large shipyard would be more messy and difficult to manage, so the scale was deliberately reduced. The two plants were basically put into use with the front and rear legs of the 300-ton shipyard, and the renovation and reconstruction of the entire plant was basically completed when it was put into operation.
It can only be said that the Lin family of the shipyard has taken every step steadily, and it is not a matter of speculative restlessness, but it can't stand having pig teammates! The situation of the final production was indeed a bit embarrassing for the Lin family.
Three shipyards were put into production, and the two shipyard directors who were elected to be responsible were the ones who made jokes that were hard to explain. Some people even composed a limerick to ridicule them.
One is a cow, one is charming, and the other is a fool; one is a factory and the other is a straw bag.
The cowhide flatters the melon child, but flatters the sky and destroys the fool.
It's about three shipyard directors. One is an awesome braggart, one is only flattering and flattering, and the other is a fool who makes Pi Beng stupid. He mocks the three directors for being idiots. As for why
Did I say before that there were only two Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks? I’ll talk about it in detail later.
The person bragging is the director of the 300-ton shipyard. The coffin ship, or the original version of the coffin ship, is this guy’s masterpiece, and he is the most awesome person that the Lin family has poached.
His resume is a bright one. He was born in Shanghai, grew up and went to school in Hong Kong, studied in the UK, and studied in a well-known British shipyard. He also held important positions in foreign shipyards in Singapore, Hong Kong and other places, and later chaired a local shipyard in Guangzhou.
He has been involved in the design and construction of many ships, serving as chief designer and chief engineer, and many of his projects include ocean-going ships of several thousand tons.
The Lin family spent a lot of money to poach him, but he turned out to be a parallel importer. To put it nicely, he is said to be good at organizing and coordinating management work. To put it harshly, his specialty is to share the credit and make others do things, while he serves his superiors, leaders, bosses and the like.
If you fool around well, the biggest effect is to bring resources, support, benefits, and dispel some of the above unrealistic requirements and ideas.
Of course, it doesn't mean that his role is unimportant. On the contrary, in the company he worked for before, the role he could play was almost an important part of the smooth development of the work. But it is a pity that this time he encountered the Lin family.
