Chapter 49 Small Machine Tools
Gossip is like this, after the parties did not have anything to do, no one paid attention, and the three people in the incident were not Hollywood stars and international dignitaries, everyone was single and soon did not have so much attention, except for the occasional ridicule of the people in the dormitory, it was already quiet outside.
Thanks to the strong R&D team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the first small machine tool was finally produced. Looking at the CNC machine tool in front of me, which weighs only 1.5 tons but can complete the processing of 6 faces, it can process small machine tools with the cooperation of CAD industrial software written by Bao Zixuan himself, and the processing accuracy is within the controllable range of 1 micron. Bao Zixuan knew that they had developed a product that was at least 15 years ahead of its time. The only drawback is that productivity is now too low, and production can only be carried out in MIT laboratories at the moment.
In the future, these machine tools will be sufficient to produce computers, telephones and some other small electronic products, but the first thing to solve now is how to ensure mass production and safely transport the machine tools back to Xiangjiang.
At this time, Professor Bluman came over and said, "Well, package, your software is definitely a match made in heaven with my machine." It's more than what you see, and if we want to make it run at full capacity, it can process at least 100 uncomplicated products in an hour. If there are 100 such machines, it is enough to pay for a factory with 1,000 employees. ”
"It's really powerful, but let's not talk about 100 units, we don't have 10 units, and now we only have 1 unit. A lathe alone is not enough. We want to speed up the progress of the research and development of CNC drilling machines, CNC washing machines, CNC grinding machines, CNC boring machines and small CNC machining centers. Bao Zixuan looked at the machine tool and said.
Bluman: "You're right, everything else is already under development, we have a strong theoretical foundation, and I'll do it all within a month, but the machining center is a bit troublesome." After all, there are so many artifacts involved. We have to order on a large scale, and only then can we speed up the R&D process, and package, you have to make additional investment, and we are running out of raw materials that we are procuring now. However, we can now produce about 30 machines. There is also a fee to use MIT equipment. After all, this is not a research project of the university. ”
Bao Zixuan: "I will be adding $10 million, and all the people involved are rewarding an additional $20,000 today, and after all the work is completed, there will be more generous bonuses waiting for everyone." How much money you receive depends on your contribution to the work. ”
I heard that everyone was rewarded with $20,000, which was okay for the 4 employees of Heiyun, who received a lot of work every month. But not Professor Bluman's assistants, who receive a pitiful monthly stipend. $20,000 is more than the money received last year. Everyone cheered together.
Professor Bluman: "Bag, you're a generous boss, but when it comes to production, we can place orders from multiple companies, produce the core components ourselves, and then assemble them in your own factory. This is the only way to ensure that the data of the machine will not be leaked. ”
Hearing Professor Bluman's words, Bao Zixuan's eyes suddenly opened up, yes! We can place orders in all capable factories in the world, and then complete the assembly in the factory in Xiangjiang.
Bao Zixuan: "You said a lot, but I still have to trouble you, list the detailed technical parameters of not very important parts, and we have to place orders all over the world." ”
After contacting Larry Brown, the barrister personally went to MIT's Brumman Lab and patented the data of several machine tools and some important components and control systems, and could only register them in the name of Black Cloud. He was afraid that when the time came, he would see that the profits were too big, and many people would come out with some moths.
With a satisfactory answer, Bao Zixuan came to the company. Looking at the research and development of the Walkman, with Clay Freeman's powerful electronic level, he explained that his task has been completed, and the scaled-down version of the recording head and amplification circuit have reached the production requirements, and the cost can be controlled within 12 US dollars, which is indeed a big achievement.
However, the most important thing at hand is the production of machine tools, to be listed before Christmas, it must be put into production before December 5, but now the number of CNC machine tools simply does not meet the requirements.
Thinking of this, Bao Zixuan made a phone call to Bao Tingting, who was far away in Xiangjiang, to inquire about the construction of the Xiangjiang factory, and learned that the first phase of the plan had been completed. At one time, I was surprised by the speed of the construction workers of Xiangjiang in this era, after all, it only took about 2 months from the start of construction to the present. In fact, it is not surprising that Bao Zixuan was surprised, after all, the construction of the entire real estate does not have such a non-stop work as him, working 24 hours a day, and there is no arrears of a penny of project payment after passing the acceptance, so that several construction companies in Xiangjiang are working on the construction site of Heiyun. This is why Black Cloud Gaming is supported by the huge profits generated by these two games. Other companies are already doomed for doing this.
explained the matter of Zhao Tingting's black cloud machine tool, and told him that he must give the voice and the machine tool to reserve enough workshop. Bao Zixuan wants to create an automated audio production line to ensure that it can produce and assemble about 10,000 sets of sound listening a day, so it is really printing money.
In the next 2~3 years, small CNC machine tools are only planned to be digested internally, and there is no intention of exporting. After all, their overall competitive strength is not as good as those companies that have been famous for a long time. It is definitely not possible to rely on your own advanced vision in the development, and you must lay a solid foundation before you can break your wrists with these mechanical manufacturing overlords.
Called Jiro Guru to his office, Jiro Gururo has been very busy recently, as the director of the hardware development department in North America, he not only has to follow up the research and development of listening to the voice, but also cooperate with the assembly of small CNC machine tools at any time, basically not idle time, the whole person looks a lot of weight loss.
Bao Zixuan: "Gu Chengjun has worked hard recently, I want you to go on a business trip to your hometown this time." But you only have one day to go home and have a look, after all, after the RB work is completed, you have to go to Xiangjiang to supervise and cooperate with the construction of the factory there. At present, you are the only one in the whole company who fully understands the various situations of CNC machine tools and Walkman, you bring 4 technicians to cooperate with you, and then I will call the construction department of Xiangjiang factory to fully support your work. You will be the first director of the combined factory of CNC machines and walkmans. You can recruit RB engineers and workers in large quantities when you go back this time, and the RB branch of the company and lawyers will cooperate with you. Our production lines are all CNC products, and the current capacity of Heung Kong workers will only do the most basic work. I know your ambition is in the field of research, but there is no one in the company who can reassure me. I'll definitely transfer you to the lab in two years, if you want. ”
Jiro Castle: "Don't worry, Your Excellency the President, I will definitely do this job well, if someone like me works at RB, it will take 10 years to be promoted to my current position, and I will already surpass most of my peers." I'm already very satisfied. ”
The two of them talked about some precautions in production and the overall planning of the factory, mainly considering handing over the machine tool parts to several factories for production. In fact, he also thought about letting West Germany do some of the OEM, but the distance was too far. It's all in RB, and the secrecy of production is a little bit worse! The current status quo can only be like this.
Bao Zixuan arranged for Zhang Zhan to accompany Gujo Jiro to RB with the data drawings and the size of the machine tool parts to be ordered, which actually has a little supervision.
The United States produces all precision accessories and uniformly purchases the computer chips and other important equipment needed, as long as it is the latest model of the whole machine, chips and other supporting facilities that can be bought on the market, Heiyun Company will spend a lot of money to buy, resulting in a certain degree of shortage of accessories and price increases. The price for Blackcloud is that its cash reserves have been reduced at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
