"This is a gear workshop, with the most advanced gear hobbing machine and gear plugging machine in China..."

"This is a gantry processing workshop, with a large gantry milling and boring machine imported from West Germany and Japan benzene, which can bore 12o mm deep holes..."

"This is Master Wu Huimin, a national model of labor, and the chairman personally received it..."

Accompanied by Wu Sanlin and Xu Wenliang, Feng Xiaochen and his party walked into Qin Chong's production area and began to conduct investigations one by one. Wu Sanlin introduced Qin Chong's situation to Feng Xiaochen and the others with a clear look, and his tone was full of flaunt.

As a national key enterprise, Qin Chong's factory area is as big as a city, with dozens of workshops of all sizes. Even if he doesn't stop in the middle, it will take an hour. Wan Kejian arranged a minibus and pulled Feng Xiaochen and others down one workshop at a time. Feng Xiaochen seemed very serious. Every time he arrived at a workshop, he had to take everyone in and take a closer look. From time to time, he would pull the workers who were doing the operation to ask a few questions. After coming out of each workshop, he would discuss the production technology of the workshop with Wu Sanlin or Xu Wenliang. Some things he didn't understand were very well, so Xu Wenliang explained them patiently.

This investigation took three days, including Feng Xiaochen, and everyone in the working group felt the eyes wide open and had some new understanding of the domestic equipment manufacturing level.

"It seems that Qin Chong is still a little famous, otherwise he would not have the confidence to challenge his superiors."

In Feng Xiaochen's room, Wang Genji held a cigarette in his mouth and said to everyone with emotion.

This is a regular meeting of the working group every night. Everyone should communicate with their colleagues about what they see and think of during the inspection, and at the same time discuss the current problems that Qin Chong has.

"According to General Manager Xu, Qin Chong is indeed able to independently undertake the manufacturing of a hot-rolled production line. We decided to introduce it from West Germany in the past. Isn't it really a bit rash?" Fei Shuli agreed. He has been working in ministries and commissions in the past. Although he has visited enterprises, it is the first time he has visited a strong enterprise like Qin Chong. Those heavy processing machinery with great industrial beauty shocked him, making him feel that this is the case with heavy industry.

Zhou Mengshi curled her lips disdainfully and said, "These equipments of Qin Chong are all too old. I even saw machine tools imported from the UK in the 20s. If we don't update these equipment, we will not be able to create modern products at all."

"Don't they also have CNC machine tools imported from Japan and West Germany in recent years? You haven't heard from Mr. Xu that these equipment are the leading ones in domestic enterprises." Fei Shuli retorted.

Zhou Mengshi said: "What's the use of being the leading domestic market? If you go and see the factory of Riben, all of them are CNC machine tools and industrial robots."

"We can't compare with others every day." Fei Shuli said.

"Why can't we compare? If we can't compare, why do we need to do modernization?"

"Didn't modernization still get the end of this century? It's just 1981, what's the hurry?"

"Director Feng said that we just need to target the international advanced level..."

"Just aiming..."

The two of them raised their squads without realizing it. Wang Genji looked at Feng Xiaochen, then coughed and said, "Old Fei, Xiao Zhou, you two are off topic. What we are going to discuss now is Qin Chong's concerns about taking over Clinz's outsourcing business. Do you have any ideas after reading these days?"

Hearing Wang Genji's words, Zhou Mengshi and Fei Shuli didn't dare to argue anymore. Fei Shuli looked at Feng Xiaochen, then looked at Wang Genji, and said, "Director Feng, Director Wang, I have some opinions. Can you tell me?"

"Of course." Feng Xiaochen smiled, "Old Fei, there are no directors here who are not directors, and we are all colleagues. Among our people, you are the oldest and most experienced, so your opinion must be very reasonable."

"Director Feng is too modest." Fei Shuli said, clearing his throat and then saying, "According to Director Feng's arrangement, Xiao Zhou and I, in addition to following Director Wu and others to visit the workshop these days, have also used other time to contact some Qin Chong's workers and technicians, as well as some grassroots cadres with lower positions to understand their mentality. In my opinion, Qin Chong is not very interested in the problem of introducing technology this time, and there are two main reasons."

"Tell me what are the two reasons?" Feng Xiaochen said.

"First, I feel that I am underestimated." Fei Shuli raised a finger and said, "As we have seen these days, Qin Chong has strong technical strength. In the 60s, he used the domestic 1ooo millimeter hot rolling mill built by the Soviet Union. The response from the users is very good..."

"This is just what they said. I have seen the materials. The 1ooo mill made by Qin Chong has a roller service life of only 1/3 of that of foreign level. Some important spare parts still rely on imports. If domestic spare parts are used, the working time without faults will be at least half the shorter." Zhou Mengshi said that she is a mechanical graduate, knows more about technical matters, and speaks more to the point.

"Yes, yes, we all know this." Fei Shuli said, "but they think their skills are still very awesome. When they imitated the 1ooo millimeter rolling mill, it was the time of the Sino-Soviet debate, and the political significance was very great. Director Gong and General Manager Xu were both received by the central leaders because of this. The big photo on the wall of the Qin Chong Factory Department's conference room was taken at that time."

"Well, you keep talking." Feng Xiaochen nodded and said.

"Yes, I'll continue." Fei Shuli also realized that he was off topic. He continued: "Qin Chong has always felt that his technical level is very high and he can undertake the overall design and main machine manufacturing of hot-rolled lines. However, this cooperation was to arrange for them to make some auxiliary machines and individual main machine parts, and they felt that they were despised."

"I think it's not just a problem of feeling contempt, but also a worry that it will be further marginalized in the future." Wang Genji interrupted, "My father used to be the commander of the army. He said that the division commanders below him would compete for the main attack mission when they were fighting, because the main troops were the main troops, and they would be more valued when allocating resources in the future. If a regiment always plays assists or feints, the regiment commander will not have the shame to say hello to others when they go to the division headquarters and the military headquarters holds a meeting."

"It makes sense." Feng Xiaochen praised. He had already realized this relationship. It seemed that few people who have stayed in ministries and commissions were cowardly, and they still had the minimum vision.

"Qin Chong expressed his dissatisfaction with our Chongfa Office this time, but it was actually for the purpose of bargaining in the future. Because the introduction contract has been signed this time, Qin Chong and Pu Chong, as the main technical transferees, have also decided on things and cannot be changed. They make trouble like this to reflect their own value." Wang Genji commented.

Zhou Mengshi said: "I think they are simply unreasonable. Their technology is indeed ranked first in China, but can they compare with others Clinz? If you don't have any technology, you should be more modest and learn from others. Is it useful to be so arrogant all day long?"

"I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. That's what Qin Chong thinks." Feng Xiaochen commented, then signaled to Fei Shuli, and said, "Old Fei, you continue to say that there is a second reason?"

"The second reason is that the profit left to Qin Zhong in this subcontract agreement was too low, and they felt it was unpaid." Fei Shuli said. He used to be a budget and knew better about financial matters. He said: "Generally speaking, this large complete set of equipment has high profits for the mainframe and low profits for the auxiliary machines, and even more so in foreign countries. This time we adopted the general contractors as the general contractors, and all the subcontractors settled with Clinz. The profits left by Clinz to the subcontractors were very low. In the past, if we adopted the Sino-foreign cooperation method, domestic companies were used as the general contractors, and each company subcontracted from domestic companies, the profits would be relatively higher."

Feng Xiaochen said: "The situation is different this time. Our goal is not only to introduce a set of equipment, but also to learn foreign project management experience through this project. By handing over the contract to Clinz as a general contractor, we can learn how Clinz organizes such a large-scale project. In fact, the Ministry of Machinery has already obtained approval in this project."

"We all know this, and Qin Chong actually knows it, but this matter has nothing to do with them, so they don't care how much the country gets, but they are very concerned about how much they can get." Fei Shuli said.

"This is parochialism!" Wang Genji directly exaggerated, "People like Lao Gong, Lao Xu and others have to be sent to study hard what the national chess idea is. If enterprises across the country only care about themselves and ignore the overall situation like them, we should not do anything to reinstall."

"Actually, Qin Chong can't say he didn't get anything this time," said Zhou Mengshi. "Their profits seem to be very low, but the technical patents transferred to them by West Germany are worth more than this profit. If you spend money to introduce these patents, you may not be enough for three or five times of profit."

"This is the key to the problem." Feng Xiaochen sighed, "For this project, the country itself is introducing technology by losing money. If we do not take patent transfer as a condition, the price of the introduction can be reduced by at least tens of millions of dollars. Qin Chong did not see the value of these technologies, but instead focused on the profits of the subcontract contract, so he would be so resistant."

"Don't Lao Xu understand this, either?" Wang Genji asked.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu cannot say he doesn't understand, but he has too many ideas, which interferes with his rational judgment." (To be continued.)
