Meng Fanze's words were purely an angry word. Meng Fanze knew the reason why Feng Xiaochen left the redesignation office. He even talked specifically with Director Zhang of the Economic Commission, saying that Feng Xiaochen should be asked to leave the redesignation office temporarily and find a place to study further. This can not only improve his theoretical level, but also suppress his temperament, and make too many enemies.

But when Luo Xiangfei asked Feng Xiaochen to leave the reinstallation work, Meng Fanze was a little embarrassed for Feng Xiaochen, feeling that Director Zhang and Luo Xiangfei lacked responsibility. A young man had done so much work for you, and in the end he had to help you with the thunder. This was simply sorry.

No wonder Meng Fanze has such a contradictory mentality. If he cares about it, he will be confused. In his heart, he regards Feng Xiaochen as more important than his own grandson. Therefore, even if it is a little bit cold and cold, Feng Xiaochen himself doesn't feel anything, but Meng Fanze is just feeling unhappy.

"Minister Meng, look at what you said. Director Luo is my Bole. It is also my love for me to study at the Academy of Social Sciences. How can I kick it out?" Feng Xiaochen knew Meng Fanze’s true thoughts, so he smiled and smoothed out.

Meng Fanze pointed at Feng Xiaochen with his fingers and said with a grudge: "You little Feng, everything is good, but you are so kind-hearted that you help them count the money when you are sold."

Feng Xiaochen said: "Minister Meng, you can rest assured that so far, there are enough people who have been sold by me. There are no one else who can sell me except Xiaodi."

"Haha, how could this girl Xiaodi sell you?" Meng Fanze laughed and no longer had his face tense like before. Meng Fanze had seen Du Xiaodi and liked her quite a lot. When Feng Xiaochen said Du Xiaodi, the old man became happy.

"Didn't the old comrades often teach us young people not to be blinded by love? It can be seen that love has a hypnotic effect. If Xiaodi wants to sell me, just turn my mind into a blindfold. If it is someone else, he will not have the ability." Feng Xiaochen joked.

After being interrupted by Feng Xiaochen, Meng Fanze forgot about his criticism of Luo Xiangfei just now. He picked up the teapot and added a little water to Feng Xiaochen's cup, and then asked: "What trouble did you encounter when you reinstall it? Did Luo Xiangfei ask you to help?"

"Director Luo didn't ask me to help, because I felt a little disgusted." Feng Xiaochen said, "This matter is actually the work I left behind in the past, so it is also right for me to do the aftermath."

"What's the matter?" Meng Fanze asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "The Northern Chemical Machinery Factory has quality problems with a fractionation tower subcontracted by Japan's Akima Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd., and now the other party has begun to file a claim."

The fact that domestic chemical equipment manufacturers subcontracted large fertilizer equipment from Japanese manufacturers originated from two years ago. That time, the country organized a fertilizer equipment inspection team to Japan to negotiate the introduction of complete sets of large fertilizer equipment. With Feng Xiaochen's strong promotion, China finally reached a cooperation model with Japan to introduce technology and subcontract construction. According to this model, as the general contractor of large fertilizer equipment, Japan is responsible for providing design drawings and organizing equipment production. Among all the equipment, a certain proportion will be handed over to the designated enterprises in China for manufacturing, and the required technology and technology are provided free of charge by the Japanese side.

This cooperation model is widely adopted in many major equipment fields. China lacks the technical strength to independently manufacture these major equipment, but it cannot rely entirely on foreign technology. By subcontracting some equipment from abroad and improving the technical level of domestic enterprises, it gradually masters the design and manufacturing capabilities of these major equipment from easy to difficult, from local to comprehensive.

The 1700mm rolling mill project in Nanjiang Province, the 600,000 kilowatt thermal power unit of Hezhou Power Plant, and the electric wheel dump truck of Honghedu Copper Mine have all adopted this cooperation model and achieved good results. Domestic companies have learned a lot from cooperation and have begun to have the ability to replace imports.

The same is true for the introduction of large fertilizer equipment. According to the introduction agreement signed by China and Japan, a group of Japanese chemical equipment companies, including Japan Akima Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd., Morishishi Teng Industrial Co., Ltd., Iketani Production Office, etc., formed a supply alliance and obtained orders for five sets of large fertilizer equipment in China. In the agreement, it stipulated that the Japanese side must transfer all manufacturing technology and subcontract the equipment manufacturing tasks to domestic Chinese companies in a certain proportion.

In order to avoid domestic companies that undertake subcontracting tasks falling apart at critical moments, Feng Xiaochen came up with a harsh idea to Luo Xiangfei, requiring these companies to sign a responsibility guarantee letter with the Reconstruction Office, stipulating that if there are problems in product quality, delivery time, etc., the company must bear the corresponding compensation liability. Such a guarantee letter system is normal in the future, but at that time it caused many corporate bosses to make a big fuss and almost formed an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly resist the Reconstruction Office's requirements.

After some struggle, the companies finally surrendered and signed a guarantee letter with the Reinstallation Office, clarifying the relationship between responsibilities and rights. From then on, two years have passed, and some equipment has reached the delivery time. As the general contractor, the Japanese side strictly inspected the products provided by the subcontractors, found many quality defects, and ordered the manufacturer to repair or rework.

Since many quality defects are not particularly serious in themselves, the difficulty of rework is not high. In addition, they are a little timid in front of Japanese manufacturers. Domestic manufacturing companies that are asked to rework basically have no objections and obediently compensate them according to the requirements. The Japanese side is generally quite satisfied with the performance of domestic companies. Domestic equipment can be verbally praised by the Japanese side from time to time.

But the disharmonious thing finally happened. A fractionation tower submitted by the Northern Chemical Machinery Factory was found to have serious quality problems when it was delivered to the general contractor, Akimaki, for inspection. Akimaki, made the decision to refuse to receive the goods. This fractionation tower is a relatively critical equipment in a set of large fertilizer equipment. If returned to work, it will seriously affect the construction period and cause significant economic losses. Akimaki, said that these losses should be borne by the Northern Chemical Machinery Factory.

"This fractionation tower is completely scrapped and cannot be repaired through rework. It can only be a new one. The cost loss in this regard is about 200,000 yuan, which is not too much pressure for the Northern Chemical Machinery Factory. However, the losses caused by the construction period are very large. After a set of large fertilizer equipment is put into production, the profit for a year is at least 80 million yuan. The average profit loss caused by the delay of one day's construction period is more than 200,000 yuan. In addition, the losses caused by the lack of fertilizers in agriculture and the foreign exchange losses caused by the state's imported fertilizers are immeasurable. If calculated based on the delay of two months of construction period, the Northern Chemical Machinery Factory will compensate the owner for more than 15 million yuan, which is enough to make Beihua Machinery bankrupt."

Feng Xiaochen explained the seriousness of this matter to Meng Fanze.

"How could such a big leak happen?" Meng Fanze asked with a serious face. The loss of more than 10 million yuan is not a trivial matter. There must be an explanation for Beihua Machine to expose such a big leak.

Feng Xiaochen sighed: "I have learned that this is a very low-level mistake. It is precisely because of the low-level that it makes people speechless. Qiujian Club provided a process document to Beihua Machinery, requiring No. 75 welding wire to be used for the peripheral welding of the fractionation tower, while Beihua Machinery used No. 43 welding wire. I specifically asked Xiaodi, and she said that the welding strengths of these two welding wires are similar. The main difference is that No. 43 welding wire has poor resistance to acid corrosion, and this fractionation tower will be used to load weak acid liquids in the future. Using No. 43 welding wire instead of No. 75 welding wire will lead to a decrease in the service life of the equipment."

"Does Beihuaji understand this situation?" Meng Fanze asked.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "It is not clear why Beihua Machinery made this mistake at this time. However, Xiaodi told me that experienced welders can distinguish these two types of welding wires, so it is not very likely to use the wrong welding wire inadvertently. In this way, there are only two possibilities left. First, Beihua Machinery itself does not pay attention to this matter, ignores or even knowingly makes the case, and asks the welders to use No. 43 welding wire to weld. Second, they do not emphasize the importance of the welding wire model to the welders, and the welders do not know that they need to use No. 75 welding wire."

Meng Fanze said: "No matter what the situation is, it shows that Beihua Machinery has serious loopholes in product quality management. The requirements in product process documents have not been implemented in production, resulting in such a serious quality accident."

Feng Xiaochen smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. Although we have emphasized quality management for many years, the quality awareness of many companies is still very vague. The Japanese taught us a lesson and told us that quality problems are not at all careless. From this point of view, we need to thank Qiujian Club."

"Indeed, they are our teachers." Meng Fanze said with emotion.

It may be difficult for people to accept this statement that they regard the Japanese as teachers. On the Internet in later generations, Japan's "craftsman spirit" gradually became a joke. The Chinese in later generations were able to ignore the Japanese technology and management because after decades of study, we have already started our studies, and our level is even far superior to those teachers of that year, and we have the capital to laugh at them. But in the 1980s, no matter how patriotic or self-esteem, the Chinese had to admit that the fineness and high quality of Japanese products were beyond the reach of Chinese products.

The Chinese in this era had a spirit of knowing shame and being brave. They could put down their figure and learn from all advanced countries, even endured the rolling eyes and contempt of others, and greedily learned all the knowledge they could learn.
