The large fertilizer equipment inspection team ended its inspection in Japan and returned home. Under the promotion of Feng Xiaochen www.biquge.info Japan Chemical Equipment Association and more than a dozen Japanese fertilizer equipment manufacturers reached a preliminary agreement with the Chinese side, agreeing to transfer all the manufacturing technology of 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia equipment to Chinese chemical equipment enterprises in exchange for five sets of large fertilizer equipment orders from the Chinese side.

The two sides agreed that several Japanese companies will be the general contractor of the five sets of large fertilizer equipment on the Chinese side, and the Chinese chemical equipment enterprises will be subcontractors to undertake the manufacturing tasks of some of the equipment, and in the process, the Japanese side will provide technical guidance and personnel training to the Chinese enterprises.

The specifics of cooperation need to be further negotiated, which is not the mandate of the mission. As for how Chinese companies can acquire Japanese technology, there are more issues to be discussed. In view of the fact that Deng Zongbai and other representatives of chemical equipment companies were a little afraid of this issue, Wang Shicheng decided to bring this issue back to China to study it slowly.

Qiangui Wuzhi sent the Chinese delegation to the airport and presented each member of the delegation with quite exquisite gifts, and the delegation returned to China with the "deep affection" of the Japanese people.

"Director Wang told me everything about you in Japan. He has a high opinion of your performance, and he specifically asked me to reward you well. ”

In the director's office of the Heavy Equipment Office, Luo Xiangfei said to Feng Xiaochen with a smile.

"I'm worried that I'm too flamboyant and I'll be criticized when I come back. Feng Xiaochen replied with a smile.

Luo Xiangfei said: "What's wrong with being public? If you want to do things, you have to be public." Of course, I'm not saying that you don't need to think about strategy, strategy is needed, but more importantly, you have enthusiasm for your work, and you can take the initiative to ask for help when you encounter difficulties, and you really didn't let me down at this point. ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "The duty lies. Since I'm going to do it on behalf of the reload, I naturally have to get things done, otherwise I won't have the face to come back to see you. ”

The two of them said a few polite words, Luo Xiangfei put away his laughing expression, and said seriously: "The matter of big fertilizer is really a bit tricky." Users are reluctant to accept domestic equipment and hope to introduce it all. On the side of the manufacturing enterprises, they lack the determination to overcome the difficulties, and only want to make some easy money by relying on the protection of the state. This time, although you have forced the Japanese side to agree to the transfer of relevant technology, if the measures of the enterprise receiving the technology cannot keep up, I am afraid that the result will be unsatisfactory. ”

"That's true. Feng Xiaochen said, "Judging from the situation of Xinyang No. 2 Chemical Machine, it is completely different from Qinzhou Heavy Machinery Factory. On the Qin Chong side, the technicians and workers represented by Chief Engineer Xu and Chief Engineer Cui have the determination and courage to catch up with and surpass the international advanced technology, and as long as they are given a chance, they will be able to do things well. As for Xinyang No. 2 Chemical Machine, as far as the contact between me and Director Deng is concerned, they just blindly emphasize the difficulties, and only promise to undertake some parts that have been relatively mature in domestic technology, and dare not touch the hard bones of the five major compressor units. ”

"The five compressor units themselves are indeed difficult, and they dare not touch them for their reasons. Luo Xiangfei said. He was originally a technical official, and after serving as the deputy director of the Heavy Equipment Office, he began to pay attention to the technical problems in various projects, so he had some understanding of the technical difficulties of large fertilizer complete sets of equipment.

Feng Xiaochen said: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to gnaw it down." We are a big agricultural country, and it is too passive to keep fertilizer equipment in our own hands. ”

"So, what do you think?" Luo Xiangfei asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "When I was in Japan, I pondered about this matter. I think that the technology introduction and digestion and absorption of hot rolling mills have progressed relatively smoothly so far, and the confidence of enterprises is also very strong, and this model is worth promoting. The introduction of large fertilizer equipment is different from that of hot rolling mills, one is that our foundation in chemical equipment is poor, and it is more difficult to introduce and digest and absorb; second, the enthusiasm of several backbone enterprises is insufficient, and we cannot fully rely on their consciousness to complete the localization task. In view of this, we should design another model, such as the big fertilizer model. ”

"It doesn't matter what the name is, it's okay to call it Feng Xiaochen mode. Luo Xiangfei said half-jokingly, "The important thing is what are the characteristics of this model, can you talk about it?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Don't name me after me, this will bring me hatred." My idea is that for large fertilizer equipment, we can take the way of tackling key problems nationwide, like the oil battle of the year, to engage in a fertilizer equipment conference battle. We must concentrate the enterprises in and outside the system, plus universities, scientific research institutes, etc., and make a military order to win the five major compressor units within a few years and break the monopoly of foreign countries. ”

"Wouldn't the term "General War" seem too outdated?" Luo Xiangfei asked. At a time when reform is being talked about from the central to the local level, such a term as "general war" with obvious political overtones is indeed somewhat out of place.

Feng Xiaochen said disapprerovingly: "If a model is effective, it can't be said to be outdated." We are a backward country, and if we want to compete with developed countries, we must give full play to our institutional advantages, that is, the advantage of being able to concentrate our efforts on doing great things. I could see the thinking of the Japanese, who believed that our company was not capable of digesting the core technology, including the five major compressor units, so they dared to agree to transfer this technology to us. We should do the opposite, take advantage of the opportunity of their technology transfer, and gather the strength of the whole country to digest these technologies and give them a powerful counterattack. ”

In the history that Feng Xiaochen has experienced, China has been brewing the introduction of foreign fertilizer manufacturing technology from the early 80s, and it was not until 2010 that the technology was finally digested and fully localized. In addition to the difficulty of these technologies themselves, the lack of national investment, the fragmentation of individual companies, and the dispersion of forces are also important factors.

Since the times have given Feng Xiaochen a chance to do it all over again, Feng Xiaochen naturally will not let such a situation happen again. He comprehensively considered the various obstacles to the research and development of large fertilizer equipment, and believed that only by concentrating forces and mobilizing the national system could we overcome the difficulties in one fell swoop.

"This is the big fertilizer model you envisioned?" Luo Xiang said.

Feng Xiaochen said: "I haven't thought about it very clearly, but the basic idea is like this. ”

Luo Xiangfei nodded and said, "I agree with this plan." We also need to have different models to tackle major equipment problems. Fertilizer equipment is our weak link, the technical difficulty is great, we use this national model to overcome this difficulty, is a good idea. In this case, you go and discuss it with Director Wu and Director Xue to see what to do. I submitted the idea to the leaders of the Economic Commission and asked them to make a decision. If the leaders of the Economic Commission agree to this plan, we should start organizing a general battle, and when the time comes, you will have to prepare to be the commander-in-chief of this former enemy, right?"

His last sentence was a bit ridiculous. Feng Xiaochen hurriedly said: "Director Luo is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and I am at best just a herald for Director Luo." ”

Leaving Luo Xiangfei's office, Feng Xiaochen came to Wu Shican's office. I haven't seen him for more than a month, Wu Shican seems to have lost a little weight, but his spirit is very full, as if he has been injected with chicken blood every day. On his desk and on the stool next to him, stacks of various materials were piled up, and the office almost had nowhere to stay. He now holds two positions, one is the director of the planning department of the Heavy Equipment Office, who is responsible for preparing the plan for the research and development of major equipment, and the other is the deputy head of the preparatory group of the National Industrial Laboratory, presiding over the work of the preparatory group.

"Xiao Feng is back?How about it, the trip to Japan has gained a lot, right?" Wu Shican was busy, but as soon as he saw Feng Xiaochen coming in, he put down the matter at hand, and got up to find a stool that was not occupied, and put it in front of Feng Xiaochen: "Come on, sit down and talk." ”

"I didn't disturb Director Wu's work, did I?" Feng Xiaochen asked politely.

"No, no, no. Wu Shican said, after that, he added, "For me, chatting with you Xiao Feng is a good learning process in itself, and this can be regarded as part of the work." ”

"Haha, I'm not that godlike. Feng Xiaochen said with a smile, "Actually, I made a special trip to ask Director Wu for advice, but I was afraid that it would delay Director Wu's work." ”

Wu Shican said: "If you don't ask for advice, don't be polite to me Xiao Feng." Why, is it a technical problem? Tell me about it. ”

This is the characteristic of scholars, who do not like to go around in circles. Wu Shican also knows Feng Xiaochen quite well, he knows that Feng Xiaochen will not say that he wants to ask him for advice out of thin air, and generally speaking, the questions that Feng Xiaochen needs to ask people are also questions of certain value, and he is very willing to listen to these questions.

Feng Xiaochen did not ask questions immediately, but first informed Wu Shican of his trip to Japan, of course, he mainly introduced the content of Japan's chemical equipment manufacturing, including their equipment level, technological frontier, product composition and so on. Wu Shican was originally engaged in chemical engineering, and he was also very interested in this aspect of the situation, he listened while making notes, and from time to time he also inserted a question or two to learn more about the situation from Feng Xiaochen.

"That's what we learned from our trip to Japan. As a result of our efforts, Japanese companies have agreed to transfer 300,000 tons of ammonia manufacturing technology to us. Feng Xiaochen finally said.

"300,000 tons of ammonia synthesis equipment, this is a very valuable technology. Wu Shican sighed, he changed his words, and said: "However, I am worried that our domestic enterprises do not have enough ability to eat these technologies." ”

"That's why I'm here to ask you for advice. Feng Xiaochen said.
