"This Kong Hua, I really don't know what to say about him!"

When Meng Jianye and Professor Qin came to the Austrian crankshaft production plant that Kong Hua had led a team to inspect, after a visit, Professor Qin's face was a little bright and dark, and a long sigh was full of indescribable complex feelings.

If Kong Hua was wrong at the working group meeting, it is true, after all, the situation of this large marine diesel engine crankshaft production plant called MOTOL is indeed very bad.

Today, the crankshaft production plant has been out of production for almost three years, and the aging of the equipment inside is also a fact, with an average life of more than 20 years, and even the smelting furnace dedicated to smelting crankshaft blanks is still a product before World War II, almost 40 years ago.

The key is that more than half of these equipment have different degrees of failure, and even some of the damage is still very bad, for example, the hydraulic press responsible for blank forging, the core components inside are very damaged, although it is not scrapped, but if you want it to be put back into use, the necessary secondary investment is inevitable.

There are many more such devices, after all, it has been out of production for almost three years, and many of them are in very poor condition due to the lack of necessary maintenance.

But despite this, MOTOL's quotation is still sixty percent of the original equipment, what is this concept, that is, this price is equivalent to the quotation of general second-hand equipment, it is obvious that the lion has opened his mouth.

However, it is not necessarily true to say that all of MOTOL's crankshaft production equipment is useless, and despite the old equipment, the service life of such oversized parts is usually thirty or forty years, even if it is more than half a century.

Take China's first 10,000-ton hydraulic press as an example, from completion to decommissioning, it took nearly half a century, so MOTOL's crankshaft production equipment has a service life of one or two decades, even if the oldest smelting furnace, if properly maintained, it will be no problem to use it for another ten years.

What's more, as a large-scale marine crankshaft production plant, MOTOL company has a fairly complete industrial chain, whether it is crankshaft smelting, forging, processing can be integrated to complete, can be called a "one-stop" service, from this point of view, the value of the introduction is still very huge.

Such a critical question comes, Kong Hua, as the person in charge of a large shipyard in the north, doesn't he know the advantages and disadvantages of these crankshaft production equipment?

Of course he knew, but because of this, he had to make the most conservative choice, let alone him, even if Fu Guangqi was in person, he could only shake his head and give up.

Without him, the key is money.

The country is not rich, and foreign exchange is even more tight, so every penny is eager to break into a few petals, so in this case, it is natural to buy those new equipment in good condition as much as possible, so as to be worthy of the precious foreign exchange.

If, on the other hand, we spend tens of millions of dollars to buy some second-hand goods, not to mention that we have to invest a huge amount of money to restore them when we get them back, what will those leaders who have approved the appropriations think? At that time, the infamy of a loser will definitely not be able to escape.

Therefore, at the summary meeting of the working group at that time, when Kong Hua gave a detailed introduction to the situation, even though Fu Guangqi's face was a little moved, he finally agreed to Kong Hua's suggestion.

And everyone present is also an old driver who understands the rules, and he knows the door and door very well, so no one objected, even if he knew that the crankshaft was a key component that would affect the development of the shipbuilding industry in the future, Meng Jianye just sighed helplessly and didn't say anything.

Because he knows that it is useless to say it himself, not only because of the problem of his position, but because this is the overall situation under the influence of the current national conditions.

However, if you don't say it at the meeting, it doesn't mean that Meng Jianye won't do it after the meeting, because of the scene of a large marine crankshaft being stuck in the neck of a foreign country in the future, Meng Jianye has really seen too much, and now he is reliving a life, and there is no chance, since he has this opportunity, if he doesn't try, how can he be worthy of his conscience?

So Meng Jianye stayed, for good reason, to act as a temporary assistant to Professor Qin, who was going to European countries for exchange and study.

After all, going abroad this year is not the era when the passport is said to be done, so the justifiable reason is still required, not to mention that this kind of publicly-funded going abroad is still very cost-effective, since we are ready to use a little conscience for the overall situation of the country, it doesn't hurt to have a little conscience in the subsection.

So Meng Jianye followed Professor Qin to visit European countries for nearly half a month, and finally one day the two came to the MOTOL company in Austria.

"But then again, if it were me, there would be no way, so ...... Alas...... Let's make the country rich and strong as soon as possible!"

After Professor Qin's emotion, he was deeply helpless, looking at the complete set of large-scale marine crankshaft production line in front of him, Professor Qin was like losing some treasure, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

But he can't help it, he only comes here to see but to watch, one has no power, and the other has no money, so he can only watch.

If he knew that large marine crankshafts had plagued China's shipbuilding industry for more than 30 years, and had been slapped and beaten by Japan and South Korea, it was estimated that this handsome old man would be able to vomit three liters of blood immediately.

"This Austrian is really dark, the machines are broken like that, and they dare to buy second-hand equipment for the price, if it could be cheaper, maybe I will take them all off the belt of my trousers. ”

Just when Professor Qin was reproaching himself for his inability, there was a big and unashamed word in his ears, Professor Qin immediately looked up, and saw Meng Jianye rubbing his chin, just like a weasel seeing a chicken, looking at the big signboard of MOTOL company, his expression was more and more squirming.

However, the next moment, Professor Qin's stunned atmosphere turned into an atmosphere, and he came to the back of Meng Jianye's head: "You kid is dizzy, you still want to buy these crankshaft processing equipment?"

As he was scolding, Professor Qin suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up slightly, but then they dimmed again: "I forgot that you still have a mother on Hong Kong Island, and you can mobilize funds without going through the state."

But that's tens of millions of dollars, no matter how powerful your mother is, I'm afraid it will hurt her bones to pull out so much money at once, not to mention that even if these devices are shipped back to China, if you want them to operate normally, you will have to invest a lot of money, without the support of the state, how can you afford it!"

Caught off guard, it really hurts to be treated like this by Professor Qin, but Meng Jianye also knows that Professor Qin is also good for him, these things are long-term investments, and there is no effect in the short term, and people with long-term vision are a minority after all, once he gets these things down regardless of it, it is likely that before the effect has arrived, he will have to be drowned by endless saliva.
