Knight of the Light - Chapter 908
It is very difficult to build a large-scale heavy industry manufacturing plant. Hardware equipment is actually the best solution, but the personnel aspect is the biggest difficulty. The best way is to pull a team directly from elsewhere.
If this team has gone through many years of running-in and has sufficient organization and discipline, then the time for enterprise formation will be greatly shortened.
In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, this was often done in China. A group of people were directly drawn from a factory school in an industrially developed area to another factory school in another place. Fast speed and high efficiency.
Zhou Qingfeng used a similar method to accept the rotten burden of domestic state-owned enterprises. As long as we eliminate redundant staff and strengthen management, most companies will be able to come back to life within a few months. Otherwise, the “Holy Light” could not develop so rapidly.
The same goes for the group to pick up rags from Da Mao Ermao’s house. It is not enough to move the equipment back, and it is necessary to recruit new training personnel. In this way, it is better to rebuild the original team with high salaries, which can save a lot of investment and time.
According to Zhou Qingfeng’s experience, as long as one-third of the backbone is brought over, and the remaining two-thirds are filled with domestic personnel, this is enough to bring the old and the new into play, and it can also improve mobility and instill fresh blood.
The Nikolaev shipyard in the Black Sea has tens of thousands of employees and is a large heavy industry enterprise that can build aircraft carriers.
It will gradually wither and even go bankrupt in the next two decades. In the end, only a thousand people were left to guard the empty factory area covered with weeds, and the others were waiting for their own way out.
The current ‘Nikolaev’ is also facing the same problem. There is no order, no appropriation, and it is all maintained by the sale of assets in the factory. The dismantling of the Ulyanovsk is a helpless move, and the sale of the Varyag is even more so.
Ordinarily, with the ‘Holy Light’ paying for it, the fate of ‘Nikolaev’ should be better. But the facts are just the opposite. Without the intervention of the “Holy Light”, this shipyard could still survive for more than ten years.
With the ‘Holy Light’…I can’t hold it for three years!
In just two years now, ‘Nikolaev’ has lost a lot of employees. One is that the continuation of the’Varyag’ is so easy to use so many people, and the other is that a large number of technical backbones have been dug out.
The digger is the ‘Holy Light’.
The director of Makarov was helpless. He couldn’t support so many employees and could only let them leave. And Europe and the United States do not need ‘Nikolaev’ technical personnel, these people are easily hired by the ‘Holy Light’.
Shipyard personnel will not leave immediately after being hired. They just changed their status and stayed at ‘Nikolaev’ to guide the renewal. Simply pay enough wages, improve management, and immediately increase the shipyard’s work efficiency by more than ten times.
After the demonstration effect, more people have taken refuge in the “Holy Light”.
It is not only the ‘Nikolaev’ who built the aircraft carrier, but also the Leningrad Neva Design Bureau, which designed the aircraft carrier.
Its director Antonov has led the team to the country for activities in the past two years, and every time he comes, he can get a sum of money and leave a group of people by the way. Each time it is only 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars, and it does not cost much.
“‘Shengguang’ is organizing personnel and preparing to build a ship design and manufacturing enterprise. After two years of preparation, the personnel are basically there. Nearly half are ours, and there are also a group of Japanese engineers.”
Ma Keshi really didn’t know this.
Makarov continued: “It is said that the group will select a site to build a factory along the coast of Zhejiang. It will start with bulk carriers and container ships, and will later build LNG carriers and high-end cruise ships.”
Makarov sighed as he spoke: “The’Holy Light’ is not for blood transfusion at all, it is for blood sucking. When the’Varyag’ leaves, our shipyard will die suddenly.”
The old factory manager is old and seriously ill, dragging the disabled to work. Marco Shi once again suggested that he could leave, but the other party shook his head without hesitation.
“I refused. The people of’Shengguang’ advised me many times. They prepared a high salary for me and said they could treat me. But I refused. I am not resentful, I just can’t leave. Someone has to stay to support me. The last dignity.”
Makarov sits in the material storage area of the factory, a hundred meters away is the Nanbuge River, and another distance along the river is the mouth of the sea. The aircraft carrier went for a trial flight, and most of the employees were not alive, sitting by the riverbank for leisure.
At the moment, the mood of the employees in the factory is fairly stable, and all capable people have found new jobs. They are optimistic about the future, and they are quite confident in the’Holy Light’.
In the past two years, the ‘Holy Light’ group has brought tens of millions of dollars in revenue to ‘Nikolaev’, giving the shipyard the illusion of revival.
The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar can be quite high in the Ermao family. One dollar can make people happy and live a good 24 hours in Moscow comfortably.
The ‘Holy Light’ brought U.S. dollars to ‘Nikolaev’, as well as a large number of commodities. It also earned U.S. dollars from the employees, leaving behind a large number of fashionable products.
Most of these are home appliances under the “Holy Light”, including refrigerators, TVs, washing machines and the like. Its quality and appearance are worse than those of European and American products, but the price is much cheaper and it is very popular.
The old factory director Makarov can’t be happy when the employees are happy.
“‘Nikolaev’ is the only aircraft carrier assembly plant of the Red Navy.’Moscow’,’Leningrad’,’Kiev’,’Minsk’, and all the aircraft carriers of the Alliance are made by us.
This shipyard was built in the Tsarist Russia era in 1897, and it has been nearly a hundred years ago. But now it looks like a centenarian, dying. I…I’m afraid it will be its last director. “
After sighing, the old manager of Makarov staggered to his feet, and slowly left along the gravel-paved factory road. He wanted to work hard to revive the shipyard. But the “Holy Light” came to the bottom to draw a salary, cutting all possibilities.
Marcos looked around the factory and walked around at will. From time to time, Chinese personnel ran by and cheered each other with joy. They are about to have a real aircraft carrier, not the rotten goods bought in the past and demolished.
Occasionally, other people can be seen in the factory. For example, the old man from the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia, or the old man from the Newport News Shipyard.
This kind of old man often brings a team of more than a dozen people to explore the secrets of the enemy shipbuilding companies with great interest. They don’t talk much, but they can always point out the flaws and deficiencies in the design of Soviet aircraft carriers.
The ‘Varyag’ has undergone substantial revisions to the hull during the renewal process, and many opinions come from these specially-appointed experts from the United States.
After all, he built dozens of aircraft carriers and dropped thousands of carrier-based aircraft. The design and use experience is extremely rich. The technicians of “Holy Light” not only learn from Mao Xiong, but also from Yingjiang.
Before dark, a whistle sounded on the river surface of the shipyard, and a huge ship tens of meters high completed a power test and returned from the sea. The Chinese staff in the shipyard happily ran to the dock to welcome the aircraft carrier returning from the sea trial.
In previous history, it was the same group of people who spent more than ten years studying how to design and manufacture aircraft carriers. Now the same thing has gone a lot, and they have been involved in specific work.
“This is a leap from 0 to 1.” Marcos also stood on the shore of the shipyard, looking up at the 60,000-ton giant ship slowly approaching, gradually occupying his entire eye socket. He sighed: “Suddenly I was expecting what the next ship would look like?”
