Chapter 173: Xu Wenliang's resentment

Qin Zhong has a deep grudge against the introduction of a 1780 mm rolling mill this time, which he already knew when Feng Xiaochen was still moving drawings in the Metallurgical Department of Nanjiang Province. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant is preparing to launch a 1780 mm rolling mill production line, which is a decision made by the state. After the news broke, both Pu Zhong and Qin Zhong submitted a request to the State Economic Commission, hoping that they could undertake the manufacturing of this production line, or at least undertake the work as the lead enterprise.

Before Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant, two hot-rolled production lines of the same scale had been built in China, and the two enterprises that undertook the construction of these two production lines were Qinzhong and Puzhong. Going back further, in the 50s, China imported hot rolling mill and cold rolling mill manufacturing technology from the Soviet Union, and Qin Zhong and Pu Zhong were the recipients of the technology. Later, the hot rolling and cold rolling production lines built in China were basically led by the two of them.

In the 50s, the Soviet Union assisted China in the construction of a 1100 mm steel rolling production line, on the basis of which Chinese enterprises carried out innovation and creation, and successively built a 700 mm extremely thin strip mill, a 4200 mm thick plate mill and 1580, 1760 and other specifications of ordinary plate rolling mills, all of these innovations, there are Qin Zhong and Pu Zhong two enterprises contribution, which is also something they have always been proud of.

In the mid-70s, China imported a set of 1700 mm hot rolling mill and 1700 mm cold rolling mill from Japan and Germany, opening a precedent for importing metallurgical equipment from Western countries. When Nanjing Iron and Steel was preparing to build a 1780 mm hot rolling mill, the Metallurgical Bureau of the State Economic Commission rejected the request of Qin Zhong and Pu Zhong and turned to Japanese benzene for introduction. Later, because it was found that Japanese benzene companies were playing tricks and kneading some unnecessary things into the equipment for bundled sales, the country decided to choose West Germany as the equipment importer, and Luo Xiangfei made their trip to Germany, and finally finalized the German Klinz company to provide this technology.

The investment in a hot rolling production line is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, which is more than a billion yuan in RMB, and any company is salivating for this big cake. According to Qin Chong's original idea, even if he can't swallow this cake alone, but has to share it with other companies such as Puzhong, there will be hundreds of millions of yuan on his plate. Who would have thought that the country chose to introduce technology and only let them undertake some corner manufacturing work in the name of the international general contractor, how could this not make Qin Chong's leaders resentful.

Feng Xiaochen and the others already knew Qin Chong's dissatisfaction with this introduction before they set off, and this dissatisfaction also directly affected the enthusiasm for undertaking technology transfer. Luo Xiangfei sent them to Qinzhong to do coordination work, hoping that they could resolve this dissatisfaction and let Qinzhong's cadres and workers devote themselves to the work of digesting and absorbing the imported technology with full spirit.

According to Feng Xiaochen's original prediction, Qin Chong should not put forward his opinions so directly, but will show some indifference in specific work. Who would have thought that at this welcome banquet, Xu Wenliang actually started to attack directly.

Since he knew Qin Chong's attitude in advance, it was certainly impossible for Feng Xiaochen not to make any preparations. But he planned to reason with Qin Chong's leaders and engineers in combination with design and production, and he didn't plan to break this matter at the dinner table. The dinner table is not a place where you can talk about technology, and if you want to talk about it, you can only talk to each other, and this is very unfavorable for Feng Xiaochen.

Wang Jiji stepped forward at this time, but attracted firepower for Feng Xiaochen. Feng Xiaochen didn't know what Wang Genji was going to say, but it was good to have him stir up the situation, it really didn't work, so let's come out and play a round again. Thinking of this, he smiled and didn't say anything, just picked up the wine glass and signaled to Song Hongsheng and Gong Zhenxing, and then slowly sipped the wine in the glass, waiting for Xu Wenliang to speak.

Xu Wenliang is over 50 years old this year, a university graduate before the liberation, when Qin Chong was established, he was an engineer in the factory, and he was a veteran of Qin Chong. He has presided over the design of several domestic hot rolling production lines, after the introduction of the 1700 mm hot rolling mill in Jiangcheng in the mid-70s, he went to Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant to inspect, and also submitted a report to the Ministry of Machinery on the "Surveying and Mapping Imitation of Imported 1700 mm Hot Rolling Mill", but unfortunately it was not approved.

After returning to Qinzhong, he organized the technical force of the whole plant to carry out technical research on the domestic 1700 mm hot rolling mill, and also achieved a lot of results, which is also the reason why Qin Chong had the confidence to propose to the State Economic Commission to undertake the hot rolling mill project of Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant by himself. Nangang's hot rolling mill finally settled in West Germany, and the most depressed was Xu Wenliang.

Some time ago, after receiving a notice from the state asking Qin Zhong to undertake the subcontracting task of the Klinz Company, Xu Wenliang had been thinking about writing a "10,000-word letter" to his superiors, preparing to put forward his own opinions on this matter with reasonable evidence, or more directly, he intended to denounce the foreign and foreign ideas of the relevant departments at the higher level. Before he finished his 10,000-word book, he heard that the newly established Heavy Equipment Office was going to send people down to inspect the work. He condensed the relevant ideas in the Book of Ten Thousand Words and intended to use them to open fire on the Heavy Armament Office.

According to his opinion, it would be best if his denunciation could make the leaders of the Heavy Equipment Office wake up and change their wrong decision-making thinking and return to the right path of self-reliance. Even if it doesn't achieve this effect, at least it can make them have more scruples when doing things in the future.

What frustrated Xu Wenliang was that the working team sent by the Heavy Equipment Office was all young people, and the oldest one looked to be in his early 30s, and he was just an ordinary staff member. The leader of the working group is a ridiculously young kid, the kind of person who grew up in a honey pot, and it is impossible to understand the feelings of the older generation who have experienced the breaking of mountains and rivers and experienced self-made people. Can they understand what kind of self-reliance is talked about with such young people?

But the arrow is on the string, I have to send it, Xu Wenliang has been holding back his strength for so long, if he doesn't leak it here, I'm afraid that the old man will hold himself out. He didn't care that he was old enough to be the other party's father, so he started to attack with a thorn in his words.

"We have always been in favor of the introduction and digestion of foreign advanced technology. In the 50s, we introduced advanced technology from the Soviet Union and carried out 156 key projects. Thirty years have passed, and these 156 key projects are still an important pillar of our country, how can we, like us, oppose the policy of technology introduction?"

As soon as Xu Wenliang came up, he put on the old qualification, and he did have this old qualification. After all, when they were digging on the construction site, Feng Xiaochen didn't even exist in a liquid state, and Wang Genji was a little older, so he barely dug at that time, of course, only digging in the sand pit of the kindergarten.

"Since that's the case, then what does Chief Engineer Xu not understand?" asked Wang Jiji.

Xu Wenliang said: "In the 50s, our country was poor and white, and at that time, the introduction of technology was to establish a complete industrial system, and there was no problem at all. However, after 30 years of construction, we now have a complete system, and we have been able to produce all industrial products, well, I also admit that our technology is still somewhat backward compared to Western countries, but this is not impossible to catch up. In this case, we have to import equipment from abroad again and again.

The 1700 mm rolling mill in Jiangcheng was introduced by us. Then there was the full set of equipment of the Pujiang Iron and Steel Plant, from the blast furnace to the rolling mill, and even the small cart for transporting coal, which I don't understand, we have been engaged in socialist construction for more than 30 years, and we can't even build a small cart?"

Feng Xiaochen sat next to him and was really speechless, the so-called small cart that Xu Wenliang said was not the kind of cart used to transport bricks on the construction site, but the hopper used for blast furnace feeding, and it was not wrong for you to say that it was a small cart. Strictly speaking, the technical content of this hopper is not very high, and it is not impossible to build it yourself, the problem is that the introduction of complete sets of equipment, it is difficult to distinguish so clearly, you have to take a screw and say that you can also produce, so you should not introduce this aircraft, how does this reason sound like a crooked reason, right?

"The Pujiang Iron and Steel Plant has been introduced, and the Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant has been introduced again, so what is the reason? If the state thinks that it is better to buy and buy than to rent, then it will simply dissolve our Qinzhong, and everyone will wear a traitor hat on their heads and go to Shili Yangchang to be compradors. Xu Wenliang directly went online to Shanggang.

"Chief Engineer Xu, what you said is not right. Wang Genji's face sank. As an official working in a ministry, he is very politically sensitive. Xu Wenliang's saying that "it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy" had a distinct political color back then, and when he heard such words, it was impossible for Wang Jiji to continue to remain calm.

In fact, the phrase "it is better to buy than to build" first appeared in a specific context. Whether it is an enterprise or a country, it is impossible to manufacture all the equipment by itself in a specific historical period, and it is the correct decision-making idea to do something and not to do something. In the absence of technical strength to manufacture for a while, or in the absence of time to manufacture, it is understandable to improve the level of one's equipment by purchasing some equipment.

However, in the era of frequent political movements, any sentence can be grasped by someone, and then raised to a political level, ignoring all contexts, and eventually becoming evidence of someone's crime. This has happened a lot in the past, and it still happens a lot today.

In the mid-70s, the country carried out a large-scale technology introduction, known as the "43 Project". In the late 70s, there was a new round of large-scale introduction known as the "foreign leap forward". After entering the 80s, the introduction of technology has become the norm. With the implementation of these economic decisions, the phrase "it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy" often appears in the mouths of the older generation like Xu Wenliang.
