Feng Xiaochen was a technical official in his previous life, and he was involved in technical concepts in many fields, but when it came to specific details, he was not as good as Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng, who had been immersed in the front line for many years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He told Xu Wenliang and them a bunch of new ideas on rolling mill design in Qinzhong, and Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng spent several months digesting these ideas, and under the guidance of these ideas, they put forward a number of new plans for rolling mill design. Xu Wenliang did not rush to publish these plans, but Qin Zhong stepped forward and asked the Ministry of Foreign Trade to apply for patents for these designs in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries, and then sent the review article to international academic journals.

From the very beginning, Xu Wenliang knew that such an article would cause a sensation in the rolling industry, but when all kinds of letters asking for detailed information flew from all over the world like snowflakes, Xu Wenliang was still frightened. After all, he is still a little far away from the international technological frontier, and he cannot appreciate what these innovations mean for the current industry. There has been no revolutionary breakthrough in steel rolling technology for a long time, and many of the ideas put forward in this article written by him and Cui Yongfeng have subverted many traditional concepts, and a number of Western companies such as Sanli and Klinz have sniffed out strong business opportunities from this article, so they rushed up like moths to a fire.

"My opinion is that we should not refuse to come and cooperate with these Western companies in an all-round way. ”

At the meeting convened by the Heavy Equipment Office, Feng Xiaochen said to a group of participants. In front, everyone had already expressed various opinions, and Feng Xiaochen, as an official of the Heavy Equipment Office who was in contact with Qin Chong, and Xu Wenliang, the initiator of their design concepts, naturally also got the opportunity to speak.

"Xiao Feng, I don't think there's a need for this, right?" questioned Yang Yongnian, who used to be the deputy director of the Mechanical and Electrical Division of the Metallurgical Bureau. When the Metallurgical Bureau was abolished last year, he was transferred to the Metallurgical Department, and was also promoted to half a level, and is currently a director of the Metallurgical Department, and rolling mill manufacturing is one of the businesses he is in charge of.

"What does Director Yang mean?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Yang Yongnian said: "I have learned that the designs proposed by Chief Engineer Xu are in the leading position in the world, which means that the design level of our country's rolling mill has reached the forefront of the world at once, and under the influence of patent protection, Japanese and German companies cannot use these designs, which is an excellent opportunity for us." Our consideration is to limit the licensing of patents and force foreign customers who need to build new rolling mills to order only from China. A set of rolling mill production line is hundreds of millions of dollars, and if we can eat two or three a year, it will be more than one billion foreign exchange earnings, which is a great achievement. ”

"Eat two or three a year?" Cao Sujun, deputy director of Puhai Heavy Machinery Factory, who came to the meeting, muttered and shook his head.

"Director Cao, don't shake your head. Yang Yongnian noticed Cao Sujun's small action, and said with a smile, "Qinzhong and Puzhong are the main enterprises in our country to manufacture hot rolling mills, if we can really achieve the goal of two or three rolling mill production lines a year, this is your production task." ”

Cao Sujun said: "Director Yang, you are easy to say, the key is, can we eat it? As far as the production capacity of our factory is concerned, we don't make anything else, and it takes at least two to three years to build a production line by focusing on a rolling mill, and it depends on the supporting factories to provide accessories in a timely manner." Qin Chong's situation is similar to ours. Not to mention two or three production lines a year, even one a year, it can also make our Puzhong and Qin Chong tired. ”

Yang Yongnian said with a smile: "Director Cao, this is the problem. Since we have so much business, but your production capacity is insufficient, we need to expand our production capacity. You can type a report and give it to ...... Well, leave it to Director Luo, and ask them to apply for technical transformation funds from the central government on your behalf and expand your production capacity by double or two, wouldn't it be good?"

Luo Xiangfei, who was sitting in the chair seat, smiled and said: "Yongnian has overestimated our ability to re-equip the office, and I am afraid that the State Development Planning Commission will need to set up a special project to allow enterprises like Puzhong and Qinzhong to expand their production capacity by one or two times." I think that this consideration of the Ministry of Metallurgy is still relatively inconsiderate, we are still a country with a weak industrial base, even if there are some breakthroughs in the design of rolling mills, it is still too difficult to monopolize the global production of rolling mills. ”

"I'm not talking about monopolies, I'm talking about ...... It's a shame to use such good technology to work with others. Yang Yongnian knew that he was too full of words, so he could only retract a little bit stupidly.

Luo Xiangfei didn't care, but pointed at Feng Xiaochen and said, "Xiao Feng, go on, why do you think that those who should come don't refuse?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "Just now Director Yang said that we want to force foreign customers to order only from China, I think this idea is still too optimistic. Chief Engineer Xu was able to put forward these new design concepts, but there is still a big gap between the concept and the final design, these concepts are handed over to Sanli and Klinz, and they can be quickly applied to the design of rolling mills, but in our own hands, I am afraid it will take a few years to really integrate them, right?"

"Xiao Feng is right, we are not familiar with today's rolling mill design methods, and it is too difficult for us to integrate these design concepts with the existing design. Xu Wenliang said sincerely.

The weight of a rolling mill alone is tens of thousands of tons, and the total number of various parts and components is hundreds of thousands. To combine these components into a high-efficiency rolling mill, it is not enough to have a few ideas. Just like Cui Yongfeng told Feng Xiaochen about the piping problem, no one in China can really grasp it. You can put forward the idea of a slab with a fixed width and side pressure, but how to achieve it involves many technical problems and technical problems, and the gap in these aspects is not something that Feng Xiaochen can make up for by giving Xu Wenliang a few golden ideas.

"In addition to the lack of design capabilities, we also lack the ability to turn designs into products. With all due respect, there is still a gap of at least 10 years between the craftsmanship level of Qin Zhong and Puzhong and Sanli and Klinz. Feng Xiaochen continued.

"It's not just 10 years. Cao Sujun said with a wry smile, "The surfacing problem of the roller surface that Sanli has solved 20 years ago, we are still groping, and the pass rate is not even half of Sanli." I think we're at least 20 years behind others. ”

"Director Cao, you can't grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige like this, right?" Yang Yongnian felt a little unbearable on his face, he just said that he would eat two or three production lines a year, and now Feng Xiaochen and Xu Wenliang, Cao Sujun and others are singing and harmonizing, saying that their design and production capacity are worthless, so how can he be embarrassed?

Cao Sujun smiled and waved his hand: "That's right, not all of our skills are worse than others, and some of the differences between us and Japan are relatively small, and we can reach their level by working hard." ”

Feng Xiaochen smiled at the two of them, and then said: "As Chief Engineer Xu and Director Cao said just now, there is still a big gap between us and foreign countries in terms of technology. My opinion is that since we have such a capital, we should take it out and exchange it with Sanli for what we need most while it is still worth some money. ”

"What is it?" asked Wu Sanlin, Qin Chong's deputy factory director.

"Technology. Feng Xiaochen said, "On the condition of patent authorization, we asked Sanli and Klinz to jointly design and manufacture with us. This time, in addition to the auxiliary equipment, we must also undertake a part of the host manufacturing tasks, as for the technology required in the host manufacturing process, they are responsible for providing, and we must do the package meeting, otherwise we will not cooperate with them. ”

"Xiao Feng, aren't you seeking skin with the tiger?" Yang Yongnian said with a smile, "How do I remember that the last time we went to Germany, you put forward this point of view." ”

Feng Xiaochen also smiled: "It was originally a consistent policy. We don't need the fish we caught, we need to learn the art of fishing. When we have mastered the comprehensive technology, then we can ponder the monopoly of global rolling mill production, and the ideal of taking two or three rolling mill lines a year said by Director Yang is not unattainable. ”

"Haha, you Xiao Feng can also dream, and it is more beautiful than I thought. Yang Yongnian said half-jokingly, which can be regarded as covering up the embarrassment he had just had.

Luo Xiangfei asked: "Xiao Feng, do you think that these conditions you put forward can be accepted by Sanli and Klinz?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "I think they will accept it." These new design ideas put forward by Chief Engineer Xu have been widely recognized by the industry. In this case, when the customer buys a new rolling mill line, the manufacturer must meet the technical requirements in these aspects, so that the new rolling mill line does not become obsolete before it is ready for production. In this way, if Sanli and Klinz want to maintain their market share, they must ask us for patent authorization, and no matter what we ask for at this time, they have to pinch their noses and accept it. ”

"Haha, it's so good to pinch your nose!" Xu Wenliang said, he turned his head to Luo Xiangfei and said, "I also agree with Xiao Feng's opinion." In fact, the technology we asked Sanli and Klinz to transfer is not a particularly core technology, nor is it their proprietary technology. In other words, there are technologies that we can get from their competitors, and if they don't want to work with us, then we can work with those competitors, which is completely intolerable to them. ”

"If that's the case, then we'll decide on a strategy to get the most out of Sanli and Klinz with the technology we need. In this regard, Director Wu and Director Cao, you should give full play to your subjective initiative to ensure that these transferred technologies can be learned, remembered, and used. Luo Xiangfei admonished.

"Understood!" Wu Sanlin and Cao Sujun replied in unison.
