Chapter 150: The First Five-Year Plan (1)


Guangzhou Shipbuilding Industry Company.

Guangzhou Shipyard is the first seaside shipyard of the Party of Science and Technology and is currently the largest shipyard in the country.

Its scale far exceeds the established Jiangnan and Mawei.

At present, two 20,000-ton dry docks, four 10,000-ton dry docks, eight 5,000-ton dry docks, eight 3,000-ton dry docks, and 12 2,000-ton slipways have been built.

There are also two 30,000-ton dry docks under construction.

At the same time, because it uses the most advanced shipbuilding equipment available in the world at this time, as well as many advanced equipment designed by later generations that are currently available, this plant can be said to be the most advanced shipyard on the planet.

At this time, the "National Shipbuilding Industry Development and Construction Work Conference" was being held in the company conference room of Guangzhou Shipyard.

Participants came from major shipyards across the country.

The content of the meeting was mainly about the ship part of the "First Five-Year Plan".

"Everyone knows that shipbuilding is inseparable from steel.

Last year, my country's crude steel production reached 650,000 tons, while Japan's was less than 130,000 tons.

In the second half of this year, my country's Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Handan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Jinan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and Maanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. will also be put into production one after another. , crude steel output breaks through this year There is no problem with one million tons.

By next year, Baosteel, Anshan Iron and Steel, Tangshan Iron and Steel, and Baotou Iron and Steel will also be put into production.

By then, my country will have ten steel bases, and the total production capacity is expected to exceed 300. 10,000 tons ranks sixth in the world” The host is Ban Chuanzhi, Vice Premier of the State Council and Minister of Heavy Industry.

He used to be a senior biochemist in charge of heavy industry at Xingke Group.

Mainly responsible for the work of Xingke Machinery Company and Weigang, and later also served as the director of Sichuan Shipyard.

After the establishment of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology regime, he became the number one person in charge of heavy industry.

After taking control of the central government, heavy industry was the top priority, and Ban Chuanzhi became the deputy prime minister of course.

"Oh" everyone in the audience couldn't help but exclaimed, and Premier Ben's speech was constantly interrupted by warm applause.

"In the year after next, Suzhou Iron and Steel Jiangsu Liguo, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Beijing Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Bengang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Taiyuan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and Luegang Lueyang will also be completed one after another.

By the end of the First Five-Year Plan, our country will have 26 large-scale steel plants.

The total steel output will exceed 10 million tons, ranking third in the world after the United States and Germany," Ban Chuanzhi said enthusiastically.

"That's great."

Everyone in the audience was so excited that their hands turned red.

Especially among the natives of this time and space, many people had tears in their eyes.

Even those who didn't shed tears, their eyes were red.

Can you not be excited?

In this era of "steel is national strength", steel output is one of the important criteria for measuring a country's strength.

When there was no Xingke, the steel output of Daqing was less than 50,000 tons, which reached 80,000 tons in 1911 in the original time and space.

In just a few years, it has increased more than ten times, leaving its old enemy Japan far behind to eat ashes.

Of course, most of the current steel capabilities were moved from the United States.

During the economic crisis of 1906, in the following years, a large number of steel plants in the United States went bankrupt and reduced production.

Many steel plant equipment were packaged as non-performing assets.

When it was sold, the price was really scrap metal.

At this time, other industrial countries did not need this equipment.

The Yankees could not sell it, and the bosses who were eager to cut their losses and cut their losses were extremely anxious.

Therefore, after Xingke, Zenith Star and many vest companies slightly revealed their intention to acquire, these guys cried and begged Mr.

Wen to buy them.

In the past few years, Mr.

Wen used scrap iron prices to transfer nearly 4 million tons of steel production capacity from the United States to China.

If it were not for the lack of enough steel workers and technicians, these steel plants would have been built long ago, and there would be no need to wait for this. several years.

Now with the full rollout of vocational training, the number of industrial workers has begun to rise sharply, and these steel plants have begun to launch one after another.

In fact, the Japanese are still very greedy for those American steel mills, but they have just finished the Russo-Japanese War and are in debt.

No matter how much they think about it, they can't afford to buy them.

So we can only watch as China frantically buys the bottom.

"Prime Minister, where are the Wei Steel and Hanyang Iron Works?

These two steel plants are not small."

At this time, a leader of Jiangnan Plant asked.

"Oh, the steel plants I mentioned earlier all mainly produce ordinary steel.

Starting from this year, the two steel plants of Weigang and Hanyang have gradually switched to the production of special steel, and ordinary steel is no longer the main product."

Chuanzhi explained.

He continued: "Now that we have enough steel, the shipbuilding industry must improve as soon as possible.

According to the First Five-Year Plan, the tasks of our shipbuilding industry this year are as follows: First, in terms of warships, we must design and build 2,000-ton fleet destroyers by ourselves. and 4000 The ton-class light cruiser can repair and maintain 10,000-ton class warships.

Secondly, in terms of cargo ships, we must design and build 10,000-ton class bulk carriers, container cargo ships, and oil tankers by ourselves.

Thirdly, in terms of passenger ships, we must design and build 5,000 ton-class light cruisers by ourselves.

Ton-class offshore passenger ships and ocean liners” Ban Chuanzhi then began to assign tasks to various units.

Those who received the tasks were all large state-owned or controlled shipyards such as Guangzhou Shipyard, Wuchang Shipbuilding, and Jiangnan.

As for those small and medium-sized shipyards and shipyards with state-owned shares, there were no specific indicators.

They were just asked to try their best.

Use new processes and new equipment to train more workers and technicians.

Vice Premier Ban finally said: "This is the first year of our country's First Five-Year Plan.

All units have very heavy tasks.

We must pay close attention to get a good start."

After the meeting, Xu Wei hurried out of the conference room.

He is now one of the chief engineers of Guangzhou Shipyard, and the project he is currently responsible for is a 4,000-ton light cruiser.

He now wished he could use one day as two days.

As soon as the meeting was over, he was eager to go back and perfect the design.

As soon as Xu Wei walked down the steps, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Hey, Huaixing, wait a minute."

When he looked back, he saw an acquaintance named Wu Xiaoyu, a classmate he met at Imperial College London, the predecessor of Kittigoti College.

Xu Wei graduated in 2007.

He accepted the ideas of scientific socialism while studying in the UK and became a fan of Wen Desi.

After graduating, he directly joined the Socialist Party of Science.

Although Wu Xiaoyu and he both majored in ship design, they were one year later than him.

Moreover, before joining the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, this guy teamed up with Li Ang and other "turtles" to make a big vote.

And unlike Xu Wei, although Wu Xiaoyang also joined the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, he did not join any state-owned shipyard.

Instead, he joined the "turtles" of the S pirates and used the bonuses they received to jointly open a joint-stock company. shipyard.

"Zhong Sheng, what's the matter?"

Xu Wei stopped.

Wu Xiaoyu caught up and said with some embarrassment: "Huaixing, this time the class leader said that your Guangzhou Shipyard will be busy building big ships in the past few years.

So can you give us those small orders of yours?

You know, we are It’s a new factory, and customers don’t trust it.”

It was probably his first time doing something like this, and he was very reserved.

The shipyard run by the "Turtles" is called "Lianyi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd."

The bonus they received for that investment was astonishing, up to 1,756.4 million silver dollars.

Because it was a bonus issued by the government, it was tax-free.

At Li Ang's suggestion, they spent 80% of the bonus, or 14.05 million yuan, to build a shipyard.

This is a large amount.

The planned investment of China's largest Mawei Shipyard at that time was only 3 million taels, 4.285 million yuan.

Of course, prices in 1908 were definitely higher than in 1866, but after accounting for inflation, they would not exceed 600 yuan.

Ten thousand yuan.

In other words, Lianyi Shipbuilding’s investment is at least double that of Mawei.

Moreover, the Socialist Party of Science and Technology has always encouraged private enterprises, especially heavy industries, so the government also supports this largest private shipyard.

In order to show its support, the government participated in the project with land and some technology and equipment, accounting for 30% of the shares.

Don't think it's too much, this is already taken care of.

The actual value of the things provided by the Socialist Party of Science and Technology is far more than this amount of money.

Lianyi Shipbuilding is located next to Guangzhou Shipyard.

In June this year, the factory construction was basically completed and production can begin.

But we encountered a problem, that is, there was not much business.

There is no doubt that Lianyi Shipbuilding's technology and equipment are supported by government groups and are definitely advanced.

They have also recruited a large number of technicians and workers in Europe through their own connections, and there is no shortage of manpower.

But what they lack most is the market.

They lack foundation and connections in this industry, and they lack enough reputation.

Therefore, although there are currently many domestic orders and ships are needed everywhere, Lianyi has only received a few sporadic orders.

The largest ones are two 500-ton ocean-going fishing boats.

This is something that other established shipyards cannot afford and have leaked out.

This made the ambitious Lianyi Shipbuilding very depressed.

They originally wanted to share orders from the Navy through Li Ang's relationship.

Comrade Li is now a popular figure in the Navy.

If he is willing to come forward, he will be more useful than these people.

But he was rejected by Li Ang.

Xiao Li's reason was that active duty soldiers were not allowed to do business.

He said that although he was also a shareholder, he would not be involved in the company's specific operations while serving.

Therefore, the senior management of Lianyi Shipbuilding had no choice but to ask him for a solution.

Wu Xiaoyu is now the deputy chief engineer at Lianyi Shipbuilding, so he is now looking for his old classmate.

However, this guy is also a technical geek, and it took him a long time to explain things clearly.

What he was thinking was that Guangzhou Shipyard's tasks this year were very tight, and the original large number of small orders would definitely not be fulfilled, so he wanted to use the face of his old classmates to share some with himself.

"Is that so?"

Xu Wei said in embarrassment: "Zhong Sheng, I can't help with this.

I'm from the design institute and I'm not responsible for this.

You have to contact our marketing department for this matter."

"Who said they didn't find it?"

Wu Xiaoting said angrily: "They said it hasn't been decided yet.

The list will be distributed and will need to be inspected.

It will take at least a few months.

But we are waiting for the rice to be cooked, you know. , Although our strength is not as good as Guangzhou Shipyard, it is worse than many factories. " "Of course I know this.

Your strength can be ranked among the top five in the country.

But it's useless even if I say it," Xu Wei said sympathetically
