He Xiao told Li Hucheng a piece of news.

It is the news about the main bearing of the shield machine.

The team of Professor E of Northeast Metallurgical University has made progress in the research of main bearing materials.

"Professor E just called and said that the original money was only 300,000 yuan. If we continue to study and experiment, we will need 20 million. The experiments of the steel companies, plus the production equipment, also need 22 million. If we process it ourselves in the future, we still need to import equipment, at least about 35 million. ”

"It adds up to an investment of 70 or 80 million, plus 20 million of the money previously given to metallurgical universities and steel companies, nearly 100 million. ”

"At present, it is only Professor E's own statement, and it is difficult to say whether it can reach the level of foreign countries after the materials come out. ”

"So much money, look at ....... ”

You have to invest 70 or 80 million, but the result is not certain.

For Li Hucheng, this is indeed a difficult choice.

Although he is not short of this money, he can also decide to spend this money himself.

However, at present, the group is bigger, and the decision-making mechanism is becoming more and more sound. All parties have their own interests, and if they insist on making their own decisions and do not listen to the opinions of others, it will also affect their relationships with others in the leadership.

The entrepreneurship center is their own single-minded decision, for the sake of their own face as an entrepreneur and the largest shareholder, although others oppose it, but they insist on it, and finally stick to it.

If there are too many such things, it will affect your own image and destroy the company's decision-making process and system.

However, if the matter of the main bearing is not solved for a day, the mass production of the shield machine cannot be realized.

The scale is limited, and if someone else solves this problem in the future, they will be at a disadvantage.

"The matter of the main bearing needs to be solved sooner or later, and we must take autonomy into our own hands. No matter how big the price is, it will not be hesitated. ”

"You tell Professor E that the money can be given to them, but as before, the technology is ours. ”

"This ...... Professor E doesn't seem to agree, he means that the technology is sold to us. ”

"It doesn't make sense, we spent tens of millions, and they personally got a lot of money from it. If the technology is still his, what are we going to do? This must not be compromised. ”

"It's the same with the steel company, they can use the technology, but the ownership is ours. This is non-negotiable. ”

"If the technology is not ours, it's okay to cooperate well, once there is any change in the other party, we are still controlled by others, and it is no different from being stuck by a foreign country. ”

"Okay, that's what I'll tell him. The matter of money, Professor E means to call as soon as possible. My sister-in-law ....... ”

"Your sister-in-law's place, I'll go home and tell her. ”

"By the way, today I went to the group and met my aunt, she asked you to go home and said that she had something to tell you. I'm going home too, will you go back? Let's go together?"

"Okay, let's go. ”

The two brothers went out and drove home.

It's not going back to my own little home, it's going to my parents' house.

Although most of the old households in Guanshan Village have moved to the upper floors, there are still a small number of old houses that have been preserved.

Because He Yunlu and He Qiaoyun were used to living in the bungalow of their hometown, the old house was not demolished, but was retained. Even though the villa left them a house, they didn't move there.

The same is true for the second uncle and second aunt, who still live in the old house. They also currently operate long-distance passenger transport, but they already have three coaches.

He Xiao and Xu Lili, like Li Hucheng and Yu Danning, live in the villa area by themselves.

He Yunlu is still alive and well, although he is almost ninety years old, his body and spirit are still good. But after all, he is old and his energy is low, and when Li Hucheng went home, the old man was already sleeping.

When Li Hucheng went home, only his mother, He Qiaoyun, was watching TV at home.

"Where's Dad?"

"Take Li Ping out to play. ”

Li Ping is the son of Li Hucheng and Yu Danning, he is six years old, he went to the first grade of primary school last fall, and he is usually picked up by Li Yonghe when he goes to and from school.

The name "Li Ping" was given by Zeng Laodao.

The name is exquisite, which means that Li Hucheng and Yu Danning are high-powered, rich and powerful, and are already outstanding. But the tree is a big wind, and the generation of children may not have such achievements as them, and it is best to be an ordinary person in order to be safe.

Therefore, I gave this name, one meaning is a life of peace, and the other meaning is to be an ordinary person, an ordinary person.

Anyway, parents have money, so don't ask their children to work hard, and leave some space and life for other people's children.

"Mom, what's the matter with calling me back?"

"The matter of the factions in the group. Don't you think that these people are now forming gangs and factions? They gather together with their own people at every turn, and they can't stand in line at every turn on the major affairs of the group. ”

"Although there is nothing major at present, it is a hidden danger after all, and in the long run, it is inevitable that there will be problems. ”

Li Hucheng has long been aware of the faction problem of the group, which is also a headache for him.

In the first few years of entrepreneurship, everyone was able to work together, think together, work together, and there was no factional problem.

With the continuous development and growth of the group, these main figures are in charge of each other, and they have all become princes, and they all have their own small interests.

Under the head, there are their own descendants, and because of the geographical relationship, some people have united.

At present, it is more obvious that there are two major factions.

One is the Green River faction, which is mainly composed of people from the Green River.

The figures of this faction include Lin Weiguo and his five members, plus Liu Bing of the special car factory, Ren Minglu of Xiaochuan Machinery, Gao Dewang of the sewage treatment plant, Su Hui, the personnel director, Xu Lili of Yingshanhong clothing and others.

The other faction is the Ancient City School, which is mainly composed of people from the ancient city. The head figure is Yu Danning, and there are also Lu Tizhi of the real estate development company, Lu Fengxian of Hucheng Clothing, Huang Bin of the water plant, Ma Shaoyun, administrative director, Tong Dazhu, deputy general manager of Sanjian, Tong Erzhu of the transportation company, etc.

There are also some people who do not clearly take sides, which can be classified as the wall-riding faction.

These people include Liu Ning of the industrial park, Ye Hui, director of public relations, He Xiao of precision machining, Gao Erlin of the shield machine, Zhou Rou of the art troupe, Sun Yafei of Maeda water supply, Huang Yu of Hekou Dianzi, Luo Nong of the commercial concrete mixing plant, Lin Xiaoxiao of the scenic spot and others.

Strictly speaking, He Can and He Jun of Hong Kong Island Tiger City Trade can also be regarded as a faction.

However, they only have business dealings with Guan Shan, and they are basically not with these people in normal times, and they are not involved in factional competition.

The Hedong people led by Meng Guangzhi are barely a faction, but there are no high-level figures in this faction, and they are basically middle and low-level.

From the worker's point of view, there is an alien Hedong system, and a native system in the Guanshan area.

The workers of the Lujiang system represented by the special car factory, the ancient city system represented by the original first and second construction workers, as well as the stream system dominated by Caohe County, and the surrounding systems of Sainiu, Huwa, Xinhe, Tongyang, Jiguan and other places in the surrounding areas outside Guanshan, etc.
