Volume VII Section 46 Encouragement
Xu Zhigang fell into deep thought.
The central and provincial policies come out, which is of course a good thing, but the problem is that these policies can not be directly transformed into actual capital investment, for Handu Machinery Industry Group, what is lacking now is precisely the problem of capital investment.
If you don't have money, it's useful to talk about anything, the R&D team needs R&D funds, the technicians have to eat to feed the family, and even you have to go out to investigate, study and exchange, which requires money, and even at a critical time, you really have to acquire some patented technologies to break through the technical barriers, which are essential.
But there is still a lot of room for life in Sha Zhengyang's words, Xu Zhigang is not the kind of leader who only drills technology, he can hear the support in Sha Zhengyang's words, which is good.
"Director Sha, our group is really hoping to completely break the technical blockade of foreign countries on our country in the future roadheader series products, you probably also know that the imported TBM for the construction of the Qinling Tunnel in Qin Province is 370 million, but if you don't buy it, you can't do it, if you don't buy it, you don't have to use it, if we can produce, how much foreign exchange can we save for the country? As long as we can give us funds and time, I have the confidence to break through this bottleneck and catch up with the pioneers of Japan and Germany, but now our company has also encountered difficulties, if the government can help us alleviate some of the difficulties, I think we can free up more time, energy and funds to invest in this,......"
Sha Zhengyang laughed, this is in line with the impression of Xu Zhigang in his previous life, since he can't find a gap in this aspect, then consider it from another angle, as long as it can help alleviate the pressure of the enterprise in other aspects, it is also equivalent to supporting the development of the enterprise in disguise, and the provincial and municipal levels can make a difference.
"Lao Xu, I have written down these opinions of yours, and I will report to the provincial leaders when the time comes, and I will also put them forward when exchanging views with the Handu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, my views remain unchanged, insist on technology first, and the core technology must be in your own hands This is the principle, in addition, I personally have a suggestion. Sha Zhengyang pondered, "Cooperation with construction companies can actually be a path, one is the actual user, the product comes out, the effect feedback is the most intuitive, in addition to the development of our national construction enterprises, the demand for advanced equipment in all aspects will also grow, at this point I think the goal of both sides is the same, as long as you go to talk, one does not do two, two does not work three, you can always find a suitable partner." โ
Seeing that Sha Zhengyang said so earnestly and frankly, Xu Zhigang was also a little touched.
He can hear that the other party is really hoping that the group can make a breakthrough in the roadheader series products, for the future because of the huge demand in the field of high-speed rail, highways and subways, the judgment is also accurate, the roadheader (shield machine and TBM) products in this field are still blank in China, and only a few Western developed countries can produce abroad, so as long as there is a breakthrough in this product, then not only the market is vast, but also it is also a door for China's construction machinery products to go abroad.
"In addition, Lao Xu, my personal opinion, your project should not stop, but also should increase efforts, from technology to personnel to funds, should be given priority to guarantee, I know the difficulties faced by enterprises now, but you should also see that the difficulties faced by enterprises are temporary, and the reason is largely because the competitiveness and richness of the enterprise in the product is not enough, cutting off a research and development project seems to save some money, but this is to cut off their own roots, there is no advanced technology products, how to be competitive? If the product is not competitive, the company will only fall into a vicious circle, which will be more difficult, so we should do everything possible to get through the temporary difficulties, instead of digging our own graves,......"
Sha Zhengyang's words are very pertinent, Xu Zhigang also knows that the problem is that the difficulties faced by the enterprise are also in front of them, and it is obviously difficult for the Handu Machinery Industry Group to bear the difficulties faced by the enterprise now.
"Director Sha, I won't tell you, what you said is reasonable, the problem is that the company is really difficult now, I'm afraid it ......" Xu Zhigang said with some difficulty.
"Lao Xu, I know that you are in difficulty now, in this way, I hope that you will persist for three months, within three months, I will find a way for you to find a way to solve the follow-up research and development funding problem, how about it?" Sha Zhengyang thought for a while.
"Three months?!" Xu Zhigang was a little puzzled, he was not underestimating the other party's ability, this was to invest money in a real way, in Xu Zhigang's view, in the case of no hope at all, no one would be willing to invest money in this bottomless pit.
"Yes, three months, how?" Sha Zhengyang nodded.
Xu Zhigang thought for a while, and weighed it for a while, "That's okay, Director Sha, that's three months, not one more day, I will continue to support this project to promote research and development according to the original plan within three months, but you didn't give me a satisfactory answer within three months, cutting this research and development project is an irrevocable decision." โ
"Okay, that's a deal. Sha Zhengyang didn't say much.
In the Handu Machinery Industry Group for half a day, at noon in the factory canteen had a light meal, the whole process Sha Zhengyang is constantly communicating with the management and technical executives of the Handu Machinery Industry Group, focusing on the future product direction and positioning of the Handu Machinery Industry Group.
In Sha Zhengyang's view, Xu Zhigang's idea is still relatively accurate, that is, to ensure the technological leadership of his own products.
Although Xu Zhigang intends to give up on the roadheader series products, it is because the roadheader is a product in Xu Zhigang's view, and the technical reserves of Handu Machinery Industry Group are insufficient, and the risk is difficult to control.
Although there is cooperation with Handa and Tsinghua University, this R&D investment is long-term continuous and huge, and the investment of Handu Machinery Industry Group is very risky, and it may end up being empty.
The rock drilling trolley is different, this series has always been the company's superior products, in the national market is also occupying the first place, in this area of R & D investment can ensure that the technical advantages of their products have been in the lead, so in this piece of R & D investment Xu Zhigang has never been left behind, is to ensure the absolute leadership in this piece, and even to keep up with the international advanced level, which is also the foundation of Handu Machinery Industry Group's survival.
Handu Machinery Industry Group is not unable to see the huge market prospect of the roadheader, nor is it without the desire to make a breakthrough in this area, the key is the lack of confidence, lack of all aspects, and catch up with this time node, so it is a little unbearable.
But Sha Zhengyang knows that as long as he survives this hurdle, in the next ten or twenty years, the huge market demand will make the TBM and shield machines of Japan and Germany and other countries eat a lot of money in the Chinese market.
In the previous life, the research and development of roadheader series products in China began seven or eight years later, and enterprises such as China Railway Heavy Industry, China Railway Construction and North Heavy Industry began to work, and the real results were more than ten years later.
But in the past ten years, it is precisely China's high-speed rail, Highway and subway construction of the period of rapid development, highway needless to say, 20 years later almost become the basic configuration of every county in all provinces of the country, and then think about China's high-speed rail from scratch to the world's first, think about the central government in order to limit the construction of the subway in major cities and continue to improve the construction of subway economic indicators and financial indicators threshold, even so still can not curb the construction of the subway impulse, the huge demand for urbanization forces local governments to solve the problem of traffic bottlenecks to make a fuss, which brings a huge marketใ
The demand for both shield machines and TBM is quite large, and if we can make a breakthrough in this area, this is definitely a strategic core industry worthy of support for Handu.
At the end of Sha Zhengyang's investigation and left, Xu Zhigang provided the basic situation and technical advantages of Handu Machinery Industry Group and the future development plan according to Sha Zhengyang's requirements.
In the past ten years, this company has continued to invest heavily in technology research and development, which has also made this original Handu is just a fairly ordinary machinery manufacturing enterprise grow step by step into the top ten construction machinery enterprises in China, especially in the rock drilling trolley This kind of product is unique in the country
If such a company that is a bit like Huawei in some aspects cannot develop and grow, it would be a pity in Sha Zhengyang's view, as long as it is properly supported, this enterprise has every chance to become an internationally renowned large-scale construction machinery enterprise such as Caterpillar and Komatsu in the future.
Liang Jinbai has been paying attention to this boss who is only one year older than him.
In the past few days of research, he has been very careful and careful to ponder every detail of the other party's actions in the past few days, and he feels that he can find the success of the other party from these details.
He noticed that Sha Zhengyang attached great importance to Handu Machinery Industry Group, especially when he mentioned the research and development of the roadheader, and spent at least two hours discussing with the general manager of the other party on this topic, and promised to solve the problem for the other party to promote the research and development of the project that the other party could not give up.
In Leung's view, his boss's behavior has gone beyond ordinary practice, which surprised him.
As the leader of the Development and Planning Commission, generally speaking, you can manage the macro, and even if it is offline in a specific industry, of course, it is reasonable to say that a specific project or enterprise, but Sha Zhengyang's specific refinement is too delicate.
Liang Jinbai is also thinking about the deep meaning of this.
