One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Fill the Sky

And it is impossible for Qin Xiaotian to not know such news, so he naturally attaches great importance to the cooperation concept proposed by Xiao Feng.

What Qin Xiaotian thinks, Xiao Feng is naturally very clear, and he is also happy to see Qin Xiaotian think so.

After all, what he has to do now is to make up the sky. Where we fall behind, then he intends to catch up.

In the shipbuilding industry, his first choice is naturally the most profitable LNG ship.

Therefore, when Xiao Feng proposed to cooperate in the construction of LNG ships this time, Qin Xiaotian was confused at first.

But soon it was a burst of ecstasy, if Xiao Feng's Spark Technology could really solve a series of technical problems that currently plague domestic shipbuilding enterprises.

Then once the results come out, isn't it a great achievement for him?

Don't look at the fact that we have already built a joint venture shipyard with Japan's Mitsui, but that yard has not produced any results so far.

The most important thing is that even if the results are achieved, the Japanese will take away half of them for nothing...

In fact, when it comes to this factory, Qin Xiaotian, an industry insider, has always been not very optimistic.

Even in his opinion, this joint venture is really unnecessary.

Instead of building a joint venture with the Japanese, it is actually better to give all the money and resources to our big ships, and let them integrate resources and develop technologies to compete with the Southern Dynasties.

It's a pity that, for some reason, this company has not been given much attention in recent years.

And their business is also limited to the field of military ships. In fact, if their roots in the field of military ships are not too deep, I am afraid it would have been long ago...

To know this shipyard, in fact, the technology in the field of civilian ships has been very strong in the early years.

Even our earliest technological breakthroughs in fast container ships were led by this company.

You must know that in the past, there was a gap between us and the Japanese in this field of transport ships for a full twenty years.

But... that's just President Qin's idea, after all, some things are beyond his control.

However, if they build a shipyard in their own name in the petrochemical field, the above must not disapprove.

After all, HD Shipbuilding and Yangzi Shipbuilding's LNG ships also serve their petrochemical enterprises.

In the past five years, the use of domestic LNG has entered a period of explosive growth.

As early as 2006, our annual LNG consumption was less than 700,000 tons, but by 2018, our annual consumption will be close to 40 million tons.

The usage has doubled dozens of times!

This is mainly related to the increase in domestic environmental protection requirements.

According to the current trend, in the next ten years, our LNG consumption will continue to soar.

Especially in winter heating in many northern cities, the boilers have been required to be transformed into LNG boilers, which is another main reason why the heating quality has dropped significantly in many northern cities in recent years.

Because the cost of using LNG is very high...

However, because of the rapidly expanding supply and demand relationship, the domestic demand for LNG ships is also soaring.

Especially the year before last, we also signed a long-term natural gas supply contract with Qatar, and we have to import a large amount of natural gas from Qatar every year.

This has increased our demand for LNG ships even more...

In fact, a few years ago, when our HD shipyard started to enter the field of LNG ship manufacturing, why did it choose the French GTT to introduce technology instead of Japan?

To know the Japanese,

In fact, in the field of LNG ship manufacturing, it has always been its own set of technologies.

Although not ahead of GTT's technology, but certainly not behind.

In fact, the area where HD Shipbuilding is located has always had a very good relationship with Japan. Many companies and technologies have been introduced from Japan.

But why, this time, didn't talk to the Japanese to discuss cooperation?

In fact, it's not that they didn't look for it, but after looking for it, the Japanese did not agree.

You must know that the Japanese are very sensitive to the prevention of technology diffusion.

Just because they knew our copycat capabilities, the Japanese did not agree to cooperate with us.

That's why we went farther and farther and had to find the French.

And now why did the Japanese agree to cooperate again?

In fact, it is not only because of the decline of their domestic shipbuilding industry, but also because of the decline in profits, which has affected their investment in research and development of new technologies.

On the other hand, it is because they saw the long-term LNG supply contract we signed with Qatar.

So they know that in the future our domestic demand for LNG ships will definitely be in short supply.

That's why they are willing to cooperate with us and provide us with technology to manufacture LNG ships.

But the question is, do you think the Japanese will teach you technology so easily?

dream!

It can be said that after so many years, many Japanese companies have invested and built factories in our country.

Olympus, Kyocera, etc. have built factories, but what kind of key technologies have we learned?

In fact, the fart didn't learn.

Many Japanese companies have established factories in Changsan and Zhusan for no less than 20 years, but what they have been doing has always been processing with supplied materials.

That is, when it comes to production, send the drawings and materials, and then send supervisors to let us produce the products they want according to the drawings.

As for how to design and what principles, it will not tell you at all.

Therefore, Qin Xiaotian is not optimistic about the LNG ship that Yangzi Shipbuilding will build in the future.

It's not that they can't build LNG ships. In fact, they will certainly be able to build them in the future.

But if you talk about the key core technology, huh, then it must be impossible to learn at all, and it must still be in the hands of the Japanese in the end.

The key is that the ships you build are all sold for three barrels of oil in the end.

And the profits you make from three barrels of oil will eventually be distributed to the Japanese in half, or even more.

And what will the Japanese do when they take this money back, they will continue to increase their investment in technology research and development.

In the end, they have produced results and will maintain their technological advantages over us...

So in fact, when the shipbuilding company and the Japanese jointly established the LNG shipyard before, as Qin Xiaotian, he was very opposed.

After all, he is a person who has worked overseas for many years, and he is also a technologist, so he also has a clear understanding of the virtues of these foreign giants.

But helplessly, he is only the leader of the petrochemical system, and his influence on the shipbuilding field is really limited.

But he has made preparations. Even if this shipping company can build LNG ships in the future, he will try his best to ask his company to give less orders to this company.

But after all, he is now in the petrochemical field, and he is not the boss who speaks all the words, and he can only affect one-third of his own land.

As for other petrochemical units, it would be difficult for him to ask them to keep pace with them.

After all, there are many interests involved in this field...

But what he can do now is to work with Xiao Feng to develop our own LNG carrier.

If in a few years, we can have our own LNG ship construction technology, it will be a ball.

The Japanese want to lie down on us to suck blood? Oh, go dream!

In fact, the Japanese so-called technology, they have also investigated, the Japanese in the field of LNG, in fact, as early as 2000, they are indeed the only one.

They mainly use the MOSS ship type, which is a spherical crown-type transport ship to put it bluntly.

However, after 2000, their spherical crown carrier was defeated by the French-led film tanker maintenance carrier.

If nothing else, the LNG carrier of the same tonnage and the LNG carrier maintained by the membrane liquid cargo can transport 40% more than the MOSS type carrier.

That alone is enough to keep the Japanese out of the market.

After that, the Japanese also developed their own membrane liquid cargo maintenance system because they did not want to pay high patent fees for GTT.

However, their system is called IHS system LNG ship, but for many reasons such as price.

It has not been widely promoted and used, that is, Mitsubishi and Mitsui have built a few ships for their own companies such as Nippon Oil, so there is no mass production.

Even from about five years ago, the Japanese have begun to import LNG ships from the southern country.

There is no other reason, the price is cheap...

And now, they actually want to build a factory together with us in China. On the surface, they lied to us that they wanted to compete with companies from the Southern Dynasties.

But actually?

It is nothing more than hoping to find an excuse to enter our domestic market.

As for their so-called leading technology, in Qin Xiaotian's view, that's what happened.

On the contrary, it is the technology of the Southern Dynasty, but because of twenty years of hard work, it should not be underestimated.

But helplessly, in the area of ​​LNG ships, the Southern Dynasty has basically regarded this field as its own prohibition, and it has always strictly controlled the outflow of technology.

So in this regard, it is really difficult for us to catch up.

But in Qin Xiaotian's view, the more this is the case, the more we should make great efforts to support our local enterprises.

How can we cooperate with foreign companies and cheapen foreigners for nothing?

"Mr. Xiao, although I am very interested in projects such as our cooperation in building LNG ships, I would like to know, in terms of technical reserves..."

Although I heard Xiao Feng's words, I felt very excited.

But Qin Xiaotian is an old fried dough stick that has experienced ups and downs many times. After the initial excitement period, he quickly calmed down.

He is not the kind of leader who doesn't know anything about technology. He is well aware of the gap between us and the Southern Dynasties in terms of technology.

So even though Xiao Feng and his Spark Factory were amazing, he still had a little lack of confidence.

"Ha! On this point, Mr. Qin, don't worry, in Yinwa Steel, we do not have enough technology accumulation."

"But in the field of automated welding, we have a very strong foundation. We must have seen our industrial robot, Mr. Qin, right?"
