Chapter 181: New Ideas

"So, how does Cui Gong think our work should be carried out?"

Feng Xiaochen began to ask questions sincerely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info chatted with Cui Yongfeng for a few words, he felt that Cui Yongfeng had goods in his stomach, at least in the case that others did not pay attention to the problem of piping, he was able to use piping as an example to prove the defects of domestic design concepts, which showed that he had some unique insights. Feng Xiaochen wanted to know what solution to the problem he was facing in Cui Yongfeng's opinion.

Cui Yongfeng thought for a while, and said: "I hope the country can give Chief Engineer Xu a chance so that he can realize his long-cherished wish." ”

"What!" Feng Xiaochen and Zhou Mengshi blurted out at the same time, Nima, what's the matter, you talked for a long time, why did you come back again?

"Cui Gong, you're not wrong, right?" Zhou Mengshi couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you just say that Chief Engineer Xu's design is not good, why do you now say that you want us to help him realize his long-cherished wish?"

"Chief Engineer Xu is an outstanding metallurgical mechanical engineer, he has worked for the country for more than 30 years, and the biggest dream in his life is to be able to design a steel rolling production line by himself and see this production line put into operation. He is 56 years old this year, and he has not much time left before retirement, and if he misses the opportunity, he will regret it for the rest of his life. And I'm ,...... As a student, he will also regret it for the rest of his life. Cui Yongfeng looked at Feng Xiaochen and said sincerely.

Feng Xiaochen thought about it in his heart, nodded, and said, "You can continue." ”

He understood that since Cui Yongfeng had clearly stated the flaws in the drawings designed by Xu Wenliang before, he would definitely not ask Feng Xiaochen to help Xu Wenliang realize his dream according to this set of drawings, which meant that Cui Yongfeng had other ideas, and Feng Xiaochen needed to let him finish his words.

Sure enough, Cui Yongfeng said: "Of course, I didn't mean to build a production line according to the drawings originally designed by Chief Engineer Xu, because I said that the drawings were outdated and uncompetitive." I hope that the state can give him a chance to redesign a production line with international advanced level. If Chief Engineer Xu has the opportunity to redesign a production line, I am willing to continue to be his assistant. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Feng Xiaochen squarely, with a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"You're a good student. Feng Xiaochen said slowly, "Chief Engineer Xu is happy to have a student like you." However, the state did not have time to wait for him. The production line of Nanjing Iron and Steel must start construction immediately, and we can only learn the design ideas in the construction process of this production line, and Chief Engineer Xu may not be able to wait. ”

"No, it's just that the state has this idea, then it must be able to do it. Cui Yongfeng said.

"How?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"I know that our country does not have the capacity to start construction of two production lines at the same time, but we can look to other countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, which also need to build rolling mills, and they have contacted us in the past. If we use Klintz's technology to build a rolling line at the Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant, and at the same time use the imported technology to design a new production line for other developing countries, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Cui Yongfeng threw out the plan he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Asian, African and Latin American countries?" Feng Xiaochen was stunned by Cui Yongfeng's idea. This was indeed an answer that he didn't expect, but it was a good choice that could break Qin Chong's affairs. Feng Xiaochen even felt that drawing on this idea, a lot of the work of the Heavy Equipment Office could open up new ideas, and many of the problems currently plaguing the Heavy Equipment Office had new ways to solve them.

Cui Yongfeng continued: "Many countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America have the need to develop their industries, because their industrial level is much lower than ours, and their economic strength is much weaker than ours. The equipment of large Western enterprises is both too expensive for them and somewhat more than they need. If we have access to this market, then we can both get valuable forex and be able to validate our technology with their market, and that's what I mean by the best of both worlds. ”

"Cui Gong, I think what you said is the best of both worlds, you should have another explanation, right?" Zhou Mengshi interjected beside her, "If we can really find a market in these countries, then it will not only satisfy Chief Engineer Xu's dream of designing a production line in his lifetime, but also allow you Qin Chong to obtain enough profits, so that Gong Factory Director and they have the enthusiasm to accept the imported technology, isn't that so?"

Cui Yongfeng's mind was broken by Zhou Mengshi's words, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He said hesitantly: "What I just said is about the benefit of the country, and what Comrade Zhou said is about the benefit of our factory as a collective, but in fact, there is no contradiction. Haven't we always said that the interests of the state, the collective, and the individual should be coordinated with each other?"

Feng Xiaochen didn't care about the dispute between the two of them, he thought for a while and asked, "Cui Gong, do you think it is possible for us to get an order in the Asian, African and Latin American markets?"

"Yes!" Cui Yongfeng replied categorically, "I have read the information, Nigeria, Venezuela, Argentina, Palestine, Indonesia and other countries have plans to build or update metallurgical equipment, and are also seeking suppliers in the international market, if our equipment performance can reach more than 80% of Western equipment, the cost is more than 30% lower than theirs, then these countries have a great possibility to choose to obtain these equipment from China." ”

"Can the two percentages you mentioned be reached?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Cui Yongfeng said: "In terms of cost, the problem is not big, our material cost has no advantage, but the labor cost is much lower than that of Germany and Japan." The cost of man-hours in the manufacturing of rolling mills accounts for a large proportion, especially in the final installation stage, which consumes a lot of labor, and we can reduce the cost in these links. As for the performance of the equipment, according to the original design, it will definitely not work, which requires us to digest and absorb the technology transferred by Klinz as quickly as possible, and redesign it according to the world-class level. ”

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "In this way, Chief Engineer Xu will shift from resisting the absorption of Klinz technology to fully supporting the absorption of Klinz technology, and the work of our heavy equipment office will also be greatly promoted." ”

Cui Yongfeng also smiled: "Of course, if this plan can't satisfy the superiors, I think it can't be implemented." ”

Speaking of this, Feng Xiaochen can figure out the rest of the things himself, and whether he can find a market in Asia, Africa and Latin America is not something that can be negotiated now, and he needs to understand it again. However, with Feng Xiaochen's experience in his previous life, he knew that Cui Yongfeng's idea was very reliable, and China's equipment technology was indeed much worse than that of Western countries, but it was enough to fool the black uncles in Africa. In recent years, the national consciousness of some African countries is being enlightened, and the leaders of many countries have also put forward the slogan of carrying out the industrial revolution, although these slogans may not all be realized, but since there are slogans, there are opportunities.

If we can promote the export of Chinese equipment to other developing countries, then first, we can obtain foreign exchange earnings to make up for the cost of importing equipment from the West, and second, we can cultivate China's own team, as Cui Yongfeng said, is to use other people's markets to verify our own technology. At this point, Feng Xiaochen still admires Cui Yongfeng, in such an era, it is indeed not easy to say such deviant words as verifying his own technology in other people's markets, and the mainstream idea at that time was to take the best things to the brothers in Asia, Africa and Latin America, rather than to practice with others.

Cui Yongfeng still has one thing that he hasn't said, that is, he is limited by his historical limitations. Feng Xiaochen understands that after the 21st century, the most important thing is neither talent nor technology, but the market, and whoever can occupy the market will be able to occupy the future. In the previous life, China did not begin to enter the African market on a large scale until the late 90s, and in this life, if it can be laid out in advance, the effect should be better.

At this level, Feng Xiaochen didn't need to make it clear to Cui Yongfeng, as long as this matter was good for Qin Chong and could be accepted by Qin Chong's cadres and workers, it would be enough. As for what significance this matter has for the country, this is a question that Luo Xiangfei needs to consider.

"Didn't you mention this idea to Chief Engineer Xu and Director Gong?" Feng Xiaochen finally asked.

Cui Yongfeng shook his head and said: "I didn't have time to talk to them about this issue, and besides, to open up foreign markets, it is not something that we Qin Chong have the power to do, and the country needs to make up its mind." If I tell them about this idea, they will only think that I am too ambitious. In fact, they're already thinking I'm too ambitious. ”

When he said the last sentence, he smiled wryly, obviously it was this incident that caused him a lot of trouble. Feng Xiaochen raised his head and looked at Wu Dandan, who was coaxing Niuniu to sleep, and was seeing Wu Dandan casting a beam of expectant glances at him. Feng Xiaochen smiled and said to Cui Yongfeng: "Actually, you are a good student of Chief Engineer Xu, and Xiao Wu is also a good student of yours." By the way, Xiao Wu said just now that there was some interference in the transfer of your lover, is it because you put forward your opinions to the factory?"

"No, Xiao Wu misunderstood. Cui Yongfeng hurriedly explained, "The factory took care of the separation between me and my lover, and coordinated with Lin Bei Heavy Machinery several times, but Lin Bei Heavy Machinery also had some difficulties, so I didn't agree with my lover's transfer for the time being, and this matter was delayed." In this regard, a lot of work has been done in the factory. ”

"I see. Feng Xiaochen nodded, "Okay, Cui Gong, thank you for inspiring us today, I will try to talk to Chief Engineer Xu about your idea." As for your lover's transfer, I'll help you figure it out. ”

"Really, thank you so much to Director Feng!" Cui Yongfeng said overjoyed. (To be continued.) )
