Chapter 190: Starting Something Else
"Yes, you've thought it through. Tang Zifeng praised Xiao Wen.
Chauvin said dissatisfiedly, "Have you always thought I was a fool?"
"How is this possible!" Tang Zifeng made the appearance of being wronged, "I have always known that you are very smart, and with you, I have always had a sense of crisis. ”
"What sense of crisis?"
"I'm afraid I'll be sold by you. ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for you, no one would want ......"
"Actually, I'm pretty handsome, and I can sell it for a good price......"
I believed it. ”
"The only good thing about me is that I'm honest. Tang Zifeng blew to himself, and then returned to the topic, saying: "It's not impossible to let the technical department of Linyi Machine help with the design." But as soon as it comes, Linyi Machine now also has design tasks, and your Uncle Qin has arranged a lot of work for his subordinates, and then added tasks to them, which is inevitably a bit unsatisfactory. Second, I am not going to completely hand over this product to Linyiji, so it is inconvenient for Linyiji to intervene too much. ”
"You don't want to open a factory to do it, do you?" asked Xiao Wen tentatively.
Tang Zifeng shook his head: "A gentleman has something to do, and he doesn't do something." I'm not good at this kind of factory opening thing, so I won't join in the fun. ”
"And what are your plans?" asked Chauvin.
Tang Zifeng said: "Our country is about to join the WTO, and after joining the WTO, all industries will be hit by foreign competitors. The competitiveness of the machine tool industry is one of the worst in various industries, if all foreign machine tool giants enter China, the entire Chinese machine tool industry, including Linyi machine, will be eaten by people even slag. ”
"Is it that serious?" Chauvin exclaimed. She thought for a while, nodded again, and said, "I remember, the last time I accompanied my mentor to a technical seminar in the mechanical department, someone mentioned this matter during the meeting, and it didn't seem to be very optimistic. ”
"It's right not to be optimistic. Tang Zifeng said, "Now even a small South Korea dares to be scared in front of us." In recent years, how many Korean-funded machine tool companies have entered China, do you know?"
"How many?"
"Nearly 300. ”
"There are so many!" Xiao Wen said in surprise, "However, the level of the machine tool industry in South Korea is not very high, and they have not published many papers on machine tools in the International Journal of Mechanical and Engineering, and the level is much worse than that of Japan and European countries." ”
"Then how many papers have we published?" Tang Zifeng asked.
"We ...... Less. Xiao Wen said depressedly.
"What is the reason?" Tang Zifeng asked again.
"Experimental conditions. Xiao Wen said, "If you want to write a thesis, you must have experimental support." Even the experimental conditions of our Tsinghua Mechanical Department are not good, let alone other schools. There is also less funding for scientific research, although the level of machine tools in South Korea is worse than that of Japan and Europe, but the funds in their universities are much more than ours, and the equipment is better than ours, but the number of people is smaller than ours, and there are fewer scholars with real skills. ”
In fact, there is another reason why Xiao Wen did not say, that is, he needs to pay a page fee to publish papers internationally. Although some pages cost only a few tens of dollars, it is a big obstacle for domestic scholars. People would rather write in China than consider submitting articles to foreign publications.
"Are you a high-level scholar?" Tang Zifeng asked.
"Of course I don't count, but my mentor does. But my mentor has a fund of two or three hundred thousand yuan a year, and he can't afford to do a slightly more complicated experiment. Sometimes......"
Xiao Wen was stuck when he said this, and the rest of the words were really inconvenient to say.
Tang Zifeng was a little strange: "What's wrong sometimes?"
"Sometimes ......" Xiao Wen hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "I want to use my own money to do experiments." Some special steel specimens, one is one or two thousand yuan, an experiment to use up a dozen, my mentor's funds are not enough, as a result of a research stopped there alive, can not be done. I looked anxious, and several times I wanted to pay for the test piece myself. ”
"It's not impossible. Tang Zifeng said, "You can tell your mentor that you pay for the experiment, and after you finish it, the first author will sign your name, so that you will become a well-known scholar?"
Xiao Wen shook his head and said, "It's too dazzling to do this." Forget it, don't talk about this, where did you just go? By the way, you said that our country's machine tools are not competitive, what are you going to do?"
Tang Zifeng also felt that he was crooked, he said: "I came back to the capital this time, I came with our factory director Zhou, and the main task is to report to the leaders of the bureau about the problem of Korean machine tool companies entering the Chinese market in a big way." After South Korean machine tools entered the Chinese market, they occupied a large part of our market share, which posed a threat to machine tool companies across the country. ”
"There is such a thing...... Xiao Wen said to himself.
Tang Zifeng said: "In view of this, we put forward an idea to the leaders of the bureau, that is, to unite the country's large machine tool enterprises, hold together for warmth, jointly improve the technical level, and meet international competition." To do this, we must first make the major machine tool companies willing to join forces with us. These guys don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and if they don't give them any benefit, I'm afraid it's hard to convince them to join. ”
"So, you want to give this mini machine as a gift to everyone?" Xiao Wen heard some clues.
Tang Zifeng said: "Exactly. Before that, I need to make sure that this kind of machine tool has a large overseas market and can generate hundreds of millions of yuan in sales, so as to attract those machine tool companies and us to join forces. ”
"But shouldn't this kind of thing be done by the Ministry of Machinery?" asked Xiao Wen.
Tang Zifeng said: "Of course, the ministry can also do it, but I am worried that it will be too inefficient for them to come forward." Led by us Pro Yiji, we have to set a rule, at least every enterprise should contribute to the entire industry, in order to enjoy the benefits of the industry. If you only want to get benefits and don't want to contribute, I'm sorry, we don't wait. If this kind of thing is done by the ministry, this article will definitely not be implemented, everyone is a state-owned enterprise, and the benefits must be shared by everyone, and as for making contributions, it depends on the character. ”
Xiao Wen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I can understand this situation. In the past, my father also said this kind of thing, when competing for benefits, each unit does not give in to each other, and when it is necessary to contribute, everyone blames each other, and they all feel that they have done more and others have done less. ”
"It's the same for all industries. Tang Zifeng sighed.
Xiao Wen said: "Senior brother, I heard my father say that the atmosphere in the past was not as bad as it is now, and all units are about dedication. At the earliest, our 17 institutes were in Beijing, and many of our employees were from Beijing. But the state asked 17 institutes to move to Chutian, and everyone moved without saying a word, without complaint. How can this be now?"
Tang Zifeng said: "This question is also very simple. It's okay for everyone to talk about dedication, but after dedication, the state can't treat these people who talk about dedication, so that it can last. But the reality is that talking about dedication means suffering losses, and if you don't talk about dedication, you can make a profit, and over time, who still wants to talk about dedication? It's not me who said it, or Lao Xiao himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to talk about dedication for 17 casually, right?"
Xiao Wen frowned slightly, expressing dissatisfaction with the title used by Tang Zifeng, she said: "My father also said that when he went to the meeting of the Science and Technology Commission, he had to fight for the benefits he encountered. If he doesn't fight, the staff in the center will scold him when he comes back. ”
"Isn't this enough?" said Tang Zifeng, "It doesn't matter if you engage in this kind of thing of management, occasionally talk about dedication, talk about public affairs and forget selfishness." But if you hope that everyone will talk about dedication, you will definitely not be able to do it. ”
"So, what do you do?"
"It's very simple, that is, to tie up all enterprises with interests, tie them to our chariot of the first machine, form an industrial alliance, and fight the enemy together. ”
"After all, is it for everyone to help you do things?"
"It's a win-win situation. Tang Zifeng said, "This matter is beneficial to all enterprises, and of course Linyi can also get benefits." However, if it is just for the Pro Yi machine, we don't have to work so hard, at least, if this set of mini machine tools is completely left in the Pro Yi machine, we get greater benefits. ”
"So, you're contributing to the industry?"
"So to speak. ”
"Didn't you say that no one wants to talk about giving now?"
"But my brother is a good person!"
Xiao Wen had nothing to say, she diverted the topic and said: "But you still haven't helped me solve the problem, you said that it is inconvenient to let the technical department of Linyi Machine do these things, so who are you going to let do it?"
Tang Zifeng said: "I suddenly thought of a genius idea just now, fortunately it was not thought of when I was sleeping at night, otherwise I would have been able to wake myself up handsomely......
"What wake up?"
"Uh, admire wake up. ...... That's not the point, the point is, I think we can come forward to set up a new machine tool technology research institute, with the participation of various companies. The calculation problem you mentioned will be left to this research institute to do. There are many technical problems common to various factories, which can also be studied by the research institute and then provided to various enterprises for use, and the licensing fee is charged as an operating cost. Tang Zifeng said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"But isn't there a machine tool research institute in the mechanical department? Uncle Qin used to work there. Chauvin reminded.
"It was the machine tool research room under the Mechanical Design Institute. Tang Zifeng said, "I talked to Lao Qin, he said that the machine tool research room is now a little green, because of the poor treatment, young people are not willing to go, and the old ones have some meaning of eating the old book, so the results have been mediocre in recent years, and many projects are anticlimactic, and the completion is very unsatisfactory." ”
Xiao Wen said worriedly: "But, aren't you doing this from scratch? Will the Ministry of Machinery agree?"
"It's up to them. Tang Zifeng said with a smile, "I set up a joint stock research institute, and the company will join if it is willing to join, and even the mechanical department can participate in it if it wants to join." This is a non-governmental organization, and the Ministry of Machinery cannot interfere. By the way, is Xiao Tuhao interested in joining a share?"
