Chapter 42: Fruitful
After Tian Guangming and others in the whole country of the customized procurement, by the Huaxia factory completely mastered the independent intellectual property rights of the electric start technology finally made a breakthrough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Han Hao came to the R&D building of the new factory, and Yu Hang was working with his assistants to conduct a non-stop ignition test of an engine connected to an electric start test device.
"Click-"
When the button was pressed, the engine immediately ignited and started, making a pleasant sound of "sudden-" sound.
With repeated movements, the poor engine kept ignition-stop-ignition again, and the recorder on the side showed that it had repeated the experiment 8,562 times.
"Basically, we can conclude that there are no problems with the stability of our electric start technology, in other words, our development work has been successful. ā
Yu Hang still had a rigorous posture and understated the success of the electric start technology.
Great, this means that Huaxia Factory has finally run to the forefront of its domestic counterparts and taken the lead in overcoming the technical problems of electric starting.
Han Hao didn't know how happy he should be, with this technology, Huaxia Factory might be able to squeeze into the list of designated engine manufacturers announced by the state at the end of the year, and become a key national support enterprise.
The term "designated enterprise" is the result of the implementation of industry support policies after the national organization conducted a thorough investigation of the motorcycle industry in 1985.
At that time, it was found that there were 53 vehicle manufacturers in the country, which were roughly divided into two types.
First, subordinate enterprises are directly under the management of various departments of the central government, and most of them are transformed from military enterprises. For example, Jialing and Jianshe were originally military enterprises, but they entered the motorcycle industry after 1980, with strong technical force, just like the Central Army directly under the central government. The second is local enterprises and workers in the post and telecommunications machinery industry, most of them are specialized motorcycle factories built before the 80s, and most of the products are products of the fifties and sixties, with weak technology and poor efficiency. The Xibei factory that Han Hao just merged belongs to this kind of factory, which has no hematopoietic ability and belongs to the local miscellaneous army.
In order to encourage the rapid growth of motorcycle enterprises to participate in international competition, the leaders of relevant state departments decided to focus on supporting some vehicle enterprises and choosing them as designated production enterprises.
The state of designated enterprises allows the establishment of technological transformation projects and the introduction of foreign capital and technology, while non-designated enterprises do not enjoy this kind of treatment. Although it has not been blocked, it can only be allowed to survive in the market competition, and the only encouragement is to support the merger and reorganization of non-designated enterprises by designated enterprises.
In 1987, after a series of power games, there were finally 19 designated enterprises in the country, and in fact, 25 production enterprises entered the designated production catalog. Because the interests of all parties are entangled at the time of the designation, two or three enterprises in some areas have joined forces to demand a fixed point.
Although it was originally stated that the designated enterprises were not lifelong and should be adjusted in the course of development, the directory of designated enterprises had not been changed before 1994. In the past two years, it has been further subdivided, and the manufacturers and enterprises are divided into three categories, one is supported by the state, the second is taken care of by local governments, and the third is left to fend for themselves.
Since the vehicle has achieved fixed-point production, of course, parts and components companies must also move with it. Therefore, in 1991 and 1992, the state announced the first and second batches of designated manufacturers of motorcycle parts, a total of 50, covering engines, carburetors, magnetos, piston rings and other fields with high technical content.
There are 8 engines in the designated manufacturers of parts, which do not include the enterprises that can produce their own engines from the vehicle factory, such as the Jialing plant is not counted, it is counted in the designated vehicle factory. These eight companies only produce engines, and the catalog is changed every three years, and it is time to change the catalog in 1994.
Han Hao put the idea on this directory of designated enterprises, with the qualification of designated enterprises, it is equivalent to the state behind the credibility of the enterprise to support, no longer a small brand.
But at a glance, the enterprises in the directory are all state-owned enterprises or joint ventures, and Huaxia Factory wants to become the first private enterprise to be listed in the directory.
In addition, the horizontal engine that matches the scooter has also been successfully prototyped, after all, the engine technology of the Gwangyang motorcycle is also derived from Honda. In the early 80s, Taiwan took advantage of the technology transfer of the Japanese A-based vehicle and started a joint venture with Honda and other manufacturers. By the 90s, Taiwan's local enterprises represented by Guangyang had mastered independent research and development capabilities, leaving behind the Japanese side and starting independent production.
The engine technology developed by Guangyang from Honda was quickly mastered by the smart R&D team of Huaxia Factory, and the 90CC horizontal engine was imitated. Compared with the 125CC of Gwangyang, the power is a little weaker and the sound is a little louder, but it is not much different to use. On Chinese roads, a 60-kilometer motorcycle ride is already considered fast, and the 90CC is a good scooter for women.
However, the CVT transmission encountered a problem, and the transmission belt used to connect the two pulley discs was not wear-resistant. The belt is a rubber inner steel wire, and the rubber part is easy to age and crack in high-speed rotation, resulting in the transmission belt losing its efficacy after not being used for a long time. There is also a thing that is not up to par because the process is actually the spring, because the recovery elasticity of the spring is not good, so that the opening and closing disc can not tighten the belt, which further aggravates the wear and tear of the transmission belt.
Unexpectedly, the engine did not encounter too many problems, but instead stuck on the CVT transmission. The thing looks exactly the same, but it doesn't compare to the original. Others may start to wear out after 10,000 kilometers, and the goods used in the Huaxia factory will begin to damage after 200 kilometers, the reason is that the material and technology are not up to standard. A small spring can be done in any handicraft workshop, but it is difficult to achieve high-end, because it involves advanced material craftsmanship. Like belts, the service life and performance of imitation goods are far inferior to those of the original.
So what to do?
You can only take the measured data and look for the best domestic manufacturers to continue to order.
Volkswagen's biggest gift to China is not the best-selling Santana model, but to help China establish a real auto parts industry system, and a large number of auto parts companies can improve their technology and develop under the policy goal of localization. From 1986 to 1994, the government approved an additional 28,000 yuan of localization special fund for each Santana car, and collected 10 billion yuan in eight years to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises supporting Santana's localization. The introduction of a model and the development of an industry have become a reality.
Therefore, Han Hao can also take advantage of Volkswagen's shareholder style to find the conveyor belts and small springs needed for the production of Santana's supporting enterprises. After all, under the strict technical standards of the Germans, those who can pass the certification and enter the Volkswagen supporting system are the top manufacturers in China.
In the end, in Hujiang City, Tian Guangming found a transmission belt factory for Santana and placed an order for 50,000 transmission belts at a high price. Because the quantity is too small, manufacturers are unwilling to open the mold for production, and 50,000 is their minimum acceptance standard. There is no way, there are almost no domestic enterprises specializing in the production of motorcycle CVT engine belts, and Huaxia Factory had to accept this condition. When the other manufacturer asked about the specific parameters of the product, Tian Guangming couldn't say it, so he could only take out the original product of Guangyang Motorcycle and say that it would follow this standard. Therefore, the sample is tested according to the standard of automobile engine, and then taken back to the Huaxia factory for testing, and the approximate parameters are corrected step by step.
The spring also went through the same experience, and found a factory for Santana to produce it, and it also cost a high price for the other party to reluctantly help with the production.
Blind imitation is prone to such a situation, you don't know what the index parameters of the product are, and you won't know why you want to do it, you can only honestly make it as it is. Otherwise, you'll have to pay a lot of money for technical information, and it's clear that Gwangyang Motorcycle won't agree to sell it to you. You can only solve the problem from 0 to 1, first get things out, and then gradually improve your own database with receipt data in actual use, and figure out the specific principle.
There is no shame in imitation, it is shameful that he has been imitating all the time, and he is not determined to evolve from imitation to the stage of research and development, Han Hao understands this in his heart. Therefore, among the more than 650 employees in the Huaxia plant, the number of people in the R&D team has reached about 150, accounting for about a quarter. Otherwise, the electric-start, horizontal engine would not have achieved results so quickly.
Three undergraduates from Zhejiang Institute of Technology have joined Yu Hang's research team, and at the same time, some basic researchers have been recruited from other factories, together with newly graduated college and secondary school students, to form a research and development team of three generations: old, middle and young.
The engine expansion production line has also been purchased, and the ordered machines have been sent to Hushan from home and abroad, and with the previous experience in assembling the engine production line, it is expected that all the installations will be completed in September. At that time, the engine production capacity of Huaxia Plant will reach 500,000 units, and it will become a first-line engine manufacturer in China.
Along with the engines, the construction of the second and third workshops was carried out, and with the advance payments received for the production of engines and bank loans, the Huaxia plant began to expand significantly. Now the Huaxia factory has its own fixed assets, and the supply of engines exceeds demand, so the bank takes the initiative to provide loans. The money delivered to the door did not have to be used in vain, Han Hao smiled at the bank's icing on the cake. Establish a vehicle production line for the production of scooters, including stamping, welding, painting, shell covers, parts and assembly lines, with a total investment of 50 million yuan, forming a production capacity of 100,000 motorcycles.
Han Hao still advocates the principle of independent production of key components and outsourcing of general parts, and encourages supporting manufacturers to grow together. The introduction of a model and the drive of a number of enterprises is one of his goals. Because of the trend of specialization and division of labor in society, you can't do everything in one fell swoop, and you have to make full use of the synergistic effect of social resources. To this end, Huaxia Factory also provided them with loan guarantee services, and continued to invest in their enterprises to form a community of interests.
It often takes more than a year for large state-owned enterprises to introduce production lines to trial production, but Huaxia factory in line with the parallel development model, and supporting factories at the same time to start the construction of the production line, a complete production line from design to use only 4 months. 24-hour shift construction, time is money, efficiency is life, one day earlier, one day earlier, one day earlier to earn money. Under the premise of flexible mechanism, Huaxia Factory is far faster and more efficient than state-owned enterprises. As long as the scooter powertrain is successful, the trial production of the whole vehicle will be carried out in October.
Sure enough, the electric start engine technology of Huaxia Plant has aroused heated discussions in the industry, and the Ministry of Machinery Industry organized industry experts to come to Hushan for technical certification. Electric start technology has always been in the hands of foreign manufacturers, and now Huaxia factory has broken through the technical blockade, which is a great thing for China's independent motorcycle industry.
The expert team together with the central ministries and commissions led a team of more than 30 officials came to Hushan, which alarmed the Zhejiang Provincial Government, and also sent a provincial, municipal, and county government composed of 16 people to accompany the team, and everyone came to the Huaxia factory together.
Seeing that the Huaxia factory is building a large number of buildings, and the modern factory is rising from the ground, many experts and scholars are deeply surprised, originally thought that the Huaxia factory is just a small research institute, but it has developed into such a behemoth silently.
In the domestic motorcycle sector, there is only one Qianjiang factory in Zhehai that is slightly famous and squeezed into the top ten ranks of sales, but I didn't expect that there was another beast hidden in the couch of the Qianjiang factory.
It is not a designated enterprise, nor a joint venture, nor a state-owned enterprise, but only a township enterprise, and its development has more potential than many old factories.
Seeing Yu Hang and his R&D team, experts and scholars from all over the world understood why electric start could be made. Such a large number of R&D teams, even many first-line manufacturers can not be compared, everyone is accustomed to the introduction of foreign technology for direct use, the research and development of slogans every year but just no investment.
Looking at Yu Hang's explanation of the electric start technology, some people who knew him couldn't believe that after coming to the Huaxia Factory after messing around in the Happy Factory before, he changed to a second spring.
The finished product is in front of you, and the experts who came to accept the electric start engine have carried out various demonstrations, and finally unanimously determined that the electric start technology produced by Huaxia Factory has independent property rights, and has passed the national appraisal and approved mass production in the market.
"Congratulations, Lao Yu, this year's Technological Progress Award will definitely be indispensable to you. ā
An acquaintance expert took the initiative to step forward, shook Yu Hang's hand and said.
As a breakthrough achievement to break foreign monopolies, electric start is certainly eligible to be on the list in this year's Technological Progress Award.
"Do you have any plans to transfer electric start technology to your peers?"
A director of the Ministry of Machinery Industry who led the team asked a key question, considering that the electric start project should be popularized in China as soon as possible from the national point of view, which is a great benefit to the country and the people.
"Our electric start technology is patented, and if our peers need it, we can consider sharing our technology if the conditions are right. ā
Han Hao had long expected that he would face such a question, so he said the prepared answer. Their own electric start technology is also to imitate foreign products, and it should not be long before domestic counterparts will imitate their own products. But I want to use such a time difference to occupy the market with a large number of goods before the electric start technology is not popularized.
The conditions he said are suitable includes both time and price factors, and anyway, when and how to transfer is the decision of Huaxia Factory. Han Hao will definitely not be stupid to transfer technology for free, of course, he must be worthy of his hard-earned R&D costs. In front of many officials and experts, Huaxia Factory must certainly make a certain gesture to show that it is willing to cooperate with the overall situation such as national policies.
Although the answer was slightly vague, Han Hao's statement was applauded by officials and experts.
Since they came, the experts and officials visited the Huaxia factory together to see how this township enterprise, which is known as a modern township, is doing.
Seeing that the engine is coming down from the production line, it is said that the township enterprises are actually more formal than the domestic high-level joint venture factories, which is all thanks to the factory 5S management advocated by Miao Zhenhua. 5S is the five aspects of sorting, rectification, cleaning, cleaning and literacy. 5S originated from Japan, which refers to the effective management of production factors such as personnel, machines, materials, and methods in the production site, and is a modern factory management method.
Now that the Xibei factory has been merged and entered the motorcycle management catalog, Han Hao has also generously shown the vehicle production line under construction to everyone. Although there is a suspicion of playing a side game in the catalog, the merger and acquisition of Huaxia Factory is the result of the cooperation of the two governments, which is not a violation in a sense. The director who led the team turned a blind eye to this, and the state could not even crack down on the trading catalog, let alone take action against the Huaxia factory.
Seeing that the Huaxia factory has completed a gorgeous turn in just over a year, using the technical advantages to enter the motorcycle industry at once, the experts on the scene are also interested in using the state to advocate the development of township enterprises to study the successful model of the Huaxia factory. To this end, a symposium was held to talk about the development of township enterprises based on the Huaxia factory.
In the end, the experts discussed privately and came to a conclusion, that is, the development of Huaxia factory combined the three factors of time, place and people. The time is just when the motorcycle industry has entered the golden stage of development, the engine technology is in a green and yellow era, the market demand is huge, and the Huaxia factory is just finding the entry point. The geographical advantage is that the Huaxia factory is located in Zhehai Province, where a large number of motorcycle industry supporting factories have been formed, which can be integrated and utilized without investing too many resources. Renhe is the Huaxia factory has dug up technical talents like Yu Hang and Miao Zhenhua, and has also won the strong support of the main leaders of the local government.
No matter what you leave, the success of Huaxia Factory is difficult to achieve, in other words, the success of Huaxia Factory is difficult to replicate.
Knowing that the Huaxia factory was preparing to put itself on the vehicle production line, the Qianjiang factory sent Zheng Nan to find the door again.
