Feng Xiaochen was a technical official in his previous life and had some knowledge of technical concepts in many fields, but in terms of specific details, he was not as good as Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng who had been in the front line for many years.

He told Xu Wenliang and others about new ideas on mill design. Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng spent several months digesting these ideas and under the guidance of these ideas, he proposed a batch of new plans for mill design. Xu Wenliang was not in a hurry to publish these plans, but Qin Chong came forward and asked the Ministry of Foreign Trade to apply for patents for these designs in Europe, America, Japan and other countries, and then published the review article in international academic journals.

From the beginning, Xu Wenliang knew that such an article would cause a sensation in the steel rolling industry, but when various letters asking for detailed information flew from all over the world like snowflakes, Xu Wenliang was still scared. After all, he was a little far from the forefront of international technology and could not understand what these innovations mean to the current industry. Steel rolling technology has not made any revolutionary breakthroughs for a long time. Many ideas proposed in this article written by Cui Yongfeng subverted many traditional concepts. Sanli, Clinz and other Western companies have smelled strong business opportunities from this article, so they rushed up like moths to a flame.

"My opinion is to accept everyone and cooperate comprehensively with these Western companies."

At the meeting convened by the Reconstruction Office, Feng Xiaochen said to the participants. In the front, everyone had already expressed various opinions. As the official of the Reconstruction Office who contacted Qin Chong and was the pioneer of Xu Wenliang and his design concepts, Feng Xiaochen naturally had the opportunity to speak.

"Xiao Feng, I don't think this is necessary, right?" Yang Yongnian, who originally served as deputy director of the Metallurgical and Electrical Department in the Metallurgical Bureau, questioned. When the Metallurgical Bureau was abolished last year, he was transferred to the Ministry of Metallurgical and was promoted to the Ministry of Metallurgical. Currently, he is a director of the Ministry of Metallurgical. Rolling mill manufacturing is one of his businesses.

"What does Director Yang mean?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Yang Yongnian said: "I have learned that the designs proposed by General Manager Xu and others are all leading internationally, which means that our country's rolling mill design level has suddenly reached the forefront of the world. Influenced by patent protection, Japanese and German companies cannot use these designs, which is an excellent opportunity for us. Our consideration is to restrict patent authorization and force foreign customers who need to build new rolling mills to order goods from China. A set of rolling mill production lines is hundreds of millions of dollars. If we can earn two or three pieces a year, it will be more than one billion foreign exchange income, which is an amazing achievement."

"Two or three pieces a year?" Cao Sujun, deputy director of Puhai Heavy Machinery Factory, who came to attend the meeting, muttered and shook his head.

"Director Cao, don't shake your head." Yang Yongnian noticed Cao Sujun's small move and said with a smile, "Qin Chong and Pu Chong are the main enterprises in our country's hot rolling mill manufacturing. If we can really achieve the goal of two or three rolling mill production lines a year, these are all your production tasks."

Cao Sujun said: "Director Yang, you said it easy. The key is, can we eat it? As for our factory's production capacity, we don't build anything else. We are determined to build a rolling mill and build a production line for at least two to three years. It depends on the supporting factory that can provide supporting kits in time. Qin Chong's situation is not much the same as us. Not to mention two or three production lines a year, even if we are one a year, we can exhaust our Pu Chong and Qin Chong."

Yang Yongnian smiled and said, "Director Cao, this is the problem. Since we have so many businesses, but your production capacity is insufficient, we need to expand our production capacity. You can send a report and hand it over to Director Luo... Uh, let's hand it over to Director Luo, and ask them to apply for technical transformation funds from the central government for you to double your production capacity. Isn't that good?"

Luo Xiangfei, who was sitting in the hosting position, smiled and said, "Yongnian is too overestimating our ability to reinstall. To allow enterprises like Pu Chong and Qin Chong to expand their production capacity by one or two times, it may require the State Planning Commission to establish a special project. I think the Ministry of Metallurgy's consideration is still relatively in-depth. We are still a country with a weak industrial foundation. Even if we have made some breakthroughs in mill design, it is still too difficult to monopolize the global mill production."

"What I said was not to monopolize it, but to say... It would be a pity to use such a good technology to cooperate with others." Yang Yongnian knew that he was too full of words, so he could only recycle it a little bit.

Luo Xiangfei didn't care, but pointed at Feng Xiaochen and said, "Xiao Feng, continue talking, why do you think you should refuse anyone?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "Just just now, Director Yang said that we would force foreign customers to order goods from China. I think this idea is still too optimistic. Mr. Xu and others can propose these new design concepts, but there is still a big gap between the concept and the final design. These concepts are left to Sanli and Clinz. They can be quickly applied to mill design, but in our own hands, it may take several years to truly integrate them, right?"

"Xiao Feng is right. We are not familiar with today's rolling mill design methods. It is too difficult for us to integrate these design concepts with existing designs." Xu Wenliang said sincerely.

The weight of a rolling mill is tens of thousands of tons, and the various parts are combined into hundreds of thousands. To combine these parts together to become a high-efficiency rolling mill, it is not enough to have a few ideas. Just like the piping issue that Cui Yongfeng mentioned to Feng Xiaochen, no one in China can truly master it. You can put forward the idea of ​​slabs to determine the width and side pressure, but how to achieve it, the technical and technical issues involved are as numerous as a cow's hair. The gap in these aspects cannot be made up for by Feng Xiaochen giving Xu Wenliang a few golden ideas.

"In addition to the lack of design capabilities, we also lack the ability to convert design into products. IMHO, Qin Chong and Pu Chong's craftsmanship level is at least 10 years away from Sanli and Clinz." Feng Xiaochen continued.

"It's not just 10 years." Cao Sujun said with a wry smile. "We are still exploring the problem of roll surface surfacing that Sanli had solved 20 years ago. The pass rate is not even half of Sanli. I think we are at least more than 20 years behind others."

"Director Cao, you can't be so ambitious and destroy your own prestige, right?" Yang Yongnian felt a little overwhelmed. He just said that he would eat two or three production lines a year. Now Feng Xiaochen, Xu Wenliang, Cao Sujun and others sang together, saying that his design and production capacity were worthless. How could he bear it?

Cao Sujun smiled and waved his hand and said, "That's right, not all our skills are worse than others. Some of our differences with Japan are relatively small, and we can reach their level even if we work hard."

Feng Xiaochen smiled at the two of them and continued: "As General Manager Xu and Director Cao said just now, we still have a big gap in technology from abroad. Just relying on several novel ideas proposed by General Manager Xu and others, we cannot conquer the world. My opinion is that since we have such a capital, we must take it out and exchange it with Sanli and the others when it is still worth a little money."

"What?" asked Wu Sanlin, deputy director of Qin Chong.

"Technology." Feng Xiaochen said, "We require Sanli, Clinz and others to design and divide the work with us. This time, in addition to auxiliary machines, we must also undertake part of the host manufacturing tasks. As for the technology required in the host manufacturing process, they are responsible for providing it, and we must provide it with teaching and meetings, otherwise we will not cooperate with them."

"Xiao Feng, aren't you trying to get a fucked with a tiger?" Yang Yongnian smiled, "How come I remember that when we went to Germany last time, you put forward this point."

Feng Xiaochen also smiled and said, "It's a consistent policy. We don't need fish to catch, we need to learn fishing techniques. When we master comprehensive technology, we can think about monopolizing the production of rolling mills around the world. Director Yang said that the ideal of getting two or three rolling mill lines a year is not unattainable."

"Haha, you Xiao Feng can dream, and it's even more beautiful than I think." Yang Yongnian said half-jokingly, which could be considered as concealing his embarrassment just now.

Luo Xiangfei asked, "Xiao Feng, do you think Sanli and Clinz can accept these conditions you put forward?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "I think they will accept it. The new design ideas proposed by General Manager Xu and others have been widely recognized by the industry. In this case, when customers purchase new rolling mill production lines, they will definitely ask the manufacturer to meet these technical requirements, so as not to be outdated before the new rolling mill production lines are put into production. In this way, if Sanli and Clinz want to maintain their market share, they must ask us to provide patent authorization. No matter what requests we make, they have to accept them with their noses."

"Haha, it's a great description of pinching your nose!" Xu Wenliang said, turning to Luo Xiangfei, and saying, "I also agree with Xiao Feng's opinion. In fact, we ask Sanli and Clinz to transfer the technology is not a particularly core technology, nor is it their proprietary technology. In other words, some technologies we can get from their competitors. If they are unwilling to cooperate with us, then we can cooperate with those competitors, which is completely unbearable for them."

"If this is the case, then we will determine such a strategy to maximize the technology we need from Sanli and Clinz. In this regard, Director Wu and Director Cao, you must exert more subjective initiative to ensure that these transfer technologies can be learned, remembered and used." Luo Xiangfei reminded.

"I understand!" Wu Sanlin and Cao Sujun responded in unison. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 17-01-27 08:03:44
