Chapter 418: Change of Functions
"Technical exchanges?"
Luo Xiangfei looked at Feng Xiaochen who was sitting in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Feng Xiaochen returned to the capital from Luoqiu, and immediately came to Luo Xiangfei to report to work, and also called Wu Shican and Xue Ducang. After a brief introduction to the sale of dump trucks, he raised an important question, that is, how to promote technical exchanges between equipment enterprises.
"It has been nearly four years since the establishment of the Heavy Equipment Office, and we are actively promoting the 11 major equipment introduction tasks entrusted to us by the state, and some of them have made great progress. In addition to this, other departments have also introduced a large number of advanced technologies from abroad. However, we ignore a very important question, and that is what is the purpose of our technology. Feng Xiaochen said.
"The introduction of technology is to catch up with and surpass the world's advanced trend and comprehensively improve the industrial technology level of our country. Wu Shican replied subconsciously. Words like this often appear in the various reports of the Heavy Equipment Office, and they belong to a very routine routine.
Feng Xiaochen said: "That's right, have you thought about it, what is the core word in this sentence?"
"The most important word?" everyone was a little confused. If you are too accustomed to saying a sentence, sometimes you will ignore its true connotation.
"Catch up with the trend and the world?" Wu Shican recalled his wording just now, not knowing what Feng Xiaochen meant.
"It's comprehensive. Luo Xiangfei deserves to be a leader, and he quickly reacted, "It is the word comprehensive in comprehensive improvement." Xiao Feng, do you mean that we introduce technology not to form a breakthrough at a single point, but to form a comprehensive breakthrough? ”
"Exactly. Feng Xiaochen said, "The task entrusted to us by the state is to realize the localization of 11 sets of major equipment. But these 11 sets of equipment is not all of our country's equipment industry, even if we realize the localization of these 11 sets of equipment, we are still far from the world's advanced trend, because foreign countries have developed new equipment, if we only focus on the equipment itself, then we can only be in a passive state forever. ”
Xiao Feng is right. Wu Shican took it and said, "I have also thought about this question. In my opinion, the country put forward the task of localization of 11 sets of technical equipment, but only to use these 11 sets of equipment as a platform to rely on, and its fundamental purpose is to improve the industrial technology level of our country through the localization of these 11 sets of equipment. This technology is not just a technology for designing and manufacturing a set of equipment, but a general technology that can be spread throughout the industrial field. ”
Xue Ducang came out of the factory, and naturally had a deeper understanding of this problem, he said: "The concept of general technology mentioned by Lao Wu is very important. For example, welding technology, there are submerged arc welding, argon arc welding, carbon dioxide protection welding, cold welding, explosion welding, etc., these technologies are not limited to a specific product, chemical equipment can be used, shipbuilding can also be used, aircraft can also be used. We are now fighting separately, and the introduction of a set of technologies for fertilizer equipment is specially used for fertilizer equipment. When it comes to coal chemical industry and re-introduction, in fact, the technology is still these technologies, and there is no need to spend this unjust money. ”
Feng Xiaochen said: "It's just a waste of money, the key is that those enterprises that have no opportunity to introduce technology cannot enjoy the dividends brought by the country's introduction of technology, which is the biggest waste." This time in Luoye, the consulting company's general manager Bao gave me a great inspiration, he said that Luoye introduced the bearing ball surface quenching process, which is the dream of those small bearing enterprises in Jinnan. If these technologies can be transferred to them, the quality of their products will be greatly improved, thus comprehensively enhancing the competitiveness of China's industrial products. ”
"It's a good idea, we've been introducing technology for seven or eight years, and we've introduced a lot of advanced technologies, and it's time to spread these technologies to the entire industrial field. Luo Xiangfei nodded and said.
Wu Shican sighed: "This matter should have been done a long time ago, and it should have been mentioned by our planning department, and the result was ...... Alas, in short, it was my dereliction of duty. ”
Luo Xiangfei said with a smile: "Lao Wu, you are too self-blaming, I am the person in charge of the Heavy Equipment Office, I ignored this problem, and I should do a review." ”
Xue Ducang said: "You two are too strict with yourself. If you want me to say, when the state gave us the task, what it proposed was to realize the localization of 11 sets of major equipment. As for the diffusion of technology, it is the icing on the cake that we put forward. The fact that we are able to recognise this shows that we have a proactive working spirit. We didn't realize this before, and it's just because the time is not yet ripe, and we haven't mastered many technologies yet, so where can we talk about diffusion?"
Luo Xiangfei was happy and teased: "Haha, Lao Xue, do you count this as praise and self-praise?"
Xue Ducang said: "I'm just telling the truth." However, Xiao Feng's reminder is very timely, I think, we really want to comprehensively sort out the technologies introduced by various enterprises, see which areas these technologies can be promoted, and how to maximize their benefits. ”
"It's a big project. Wu Shican said, "I am from a chemical background, and I can barely say a thing or two about the technology of chemical equipment." But how these technologies can be transplanted to other industries, I am blindsided. To figure out these issues, we need a special agency to do it. ”
Hearing the word "institution", Luo Xiangfei couldn't help but feel excited, he waved his hand again and again: "This is impossible, we can't establish any more institutions." ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Feng Xiaochen and sighed: "I'm afraid of Xiao Feng, this guy has too many ideas, the senior technical school that Lao Xue is in charge of now, and Lao Wu, your national industrial laboratory, are all estimated by Xiao Feng." Now this guy is going to give birth to something new, and what will others say about us reloading?"
Wu Shican said: "Director Luo, I think these things that Xiao Feng has estimated are all good things." Lao Xue, on his side, has trained thousands of senior technicians so far, and now they have become the backbone of various enterprises, which has played an important role in improving the ability of enterprises. As for the National Industrial Laboratory on my side, it has also achieved remarkable results. The prospects for our pre-research on fourth-generation nuclear power, nuclear fusion, quantum communication, new energy, new materials, etc., are very good, and I can't wait to see the realization of these technologies. ”
The National Industrial Laboratory is an institution established a few years ago at the suggestion of Feng Xiaochen, which gathers a group of very forward-thinking talents and focuses on pre-research on some future technologies that are not yet available. Feng Xiaochen also gave these talents a very sci-fi name, called "Wall Facer". The results of these people may be regarded as unrealistic and cranky at the moment, but technical authorities such as Wu Shican know very well that these technologies are just not ripe for practice, and once there is a possibility of practice, these technologies will attract the attention of the world.
Since the Senior Technical School and the National Industrial Laboratory were both proposed and established by the Heavy Equipment Office, and both are related to the state's advanced equipment research and development plan, they are both under the name of the Heavy Equipment Office, and are respectively managed by Xue Ducang and Wu Shican. The rearmament office has also swelled a lot because of this, Luo Xiangfei is mixed about this, the happy aspect is naturally because he can make more contributions to the country, which is the goal pursued by his generation, and the worry is that the rearmament office has too many things, which will inevitably attract some gossip.
"No new institutions can be created. Luo Xiangfei said to everyone, he looked at everyone, and then lowered his voice and said: "Lao Wu, Lao Xue, you two are old comrades, although Xiao Feng is young, he also has work experience, there is one thing I don't want to hide from you, that is, there may be some changes in the functions of the Heavy Equipment Office, everyone must be psychologically prepared." ”
"What do you mean by the change of function?" Xue Ducang asked with wide eyes. Luo Xiangfei's serious expression shows that this matter is not simple, and it is not just a matter of functional changes.
Luo Xiangfei said: "In fact, this is also the trend of the times. The state proposes to develop a commodity economy, and all ministries and commissions are delegating powers, some functional ministries and commissions will be abolished, and the original functions will be assigned to the newly established industrial corporation. As an organization in charge of the research and development of major equipment, the functions of the Office of Heavy Equipment will be more concentrated on policy guidance in the future, and specific management functions will be weakened. ”
"In other words, we will be an empty shelf?" Xue Ducang asked.
Luo Xiangfei said: "It can't be said to be an empty shelf, but the function of directly managing the enterprise will be reduced, which is also in line with the spirit of national policy." ”
The words made everyone's emotions that had been aroused just now suddenly depressed. Wu Shican was silent for a moment and said, "If this is the case, then our future work will be even more difficult." In the past, we also emphasized that we were the coordinating body, but we still had a certain amount of management authority, and at the worst, we could still meddle in the management of enterprises through the Economic Commission. If we propose to weaken the management function now, we will not be listened to. Now all companies are emphasizing economic interests, and the sense of the overall situation is getting weaker and weaker. If we can no longer play our role, equipment construction will become an empty word. ”
Xue Ducang also echoed: "Yes, the equipment industry really can't be started by each enterprise alone, and it needs to concentrate the strength of the whole country." As the competent department of equipment construction, if we do not have management power, the development of this industry will be worrying. ”
Luo Xiangfei said: "I don't know this. However, it is the state's major policy to engage in commodity economy, and it is impossible to change this direction. Under the conditions of the commodity economy, we can no longer use the traditional thinking of the planned economy to do things. Where to go from here, now the leaders above also have different considerations, which is not something we can control. I say this to tell you that we should have new ideas and take precautions. ”
