Chapter 55: A Dilapidated Factory
Gu Fei casually gave an example, Lin Chunhui, the three guys who had never been out of school, were bluffed on the spot, and they didn't dare to say anything again.
The next day was the weekend, and the four began to split up.
Although there is the support of the school, it adheres to the principle of saving what can be saved. Gu Fei and Lin Chunhui happily held the thick drawings, turned left and right in the school, and came to the school-run hardware processing factory on the South Campus.
Gu Fei's excuse was to save money for the school. This reason sounds good, but it is actually a helpless move.
Because of such complicated and cumbersome small orders like theirs, ordinary factories are not very happy to accept them.
In fact, in the meantime, Gu Fei had already contacted several manufacturing companies in advance. These companies are big and small, far and near, but as soon as he said it, it didn't take long for him to directly and unequivocally refuse.
Gu Fei himself is in charge of the metal manufacturing of the entire Fenghuo Laser Technology, and he says that he is more heart-to-heart, so he can understand the reasons for these companies' refusals.
There are more than 300 parts, and they are all different. This means that the machine has to be changed more than 300 times in a short period of time, which makes people feel chilling when they hear it.
After all, people are not machines, and manufacturing has always been a thing that cannot be sloppy. No matter who you are, it's a terrible thing to be concentrating on the machine all day.
This is nothing, Gu Fei and their list, each part only needs one or two, but there is no follow-up order, this is the most deadly.
Every time a new part is replaced on a CNC machine tool, if the product is required to be fine, most of the first pieces are bad or even scrapped.
In large-scale manufacturing, for example, 10,000 products, the first one or two products are defective, and the defective rate of 1 in 10,000 can be almost ignored. However, when the defective rate is as high as 30%~50%, if the price is not suitable, I am afraid that few factories are willing to take orders.
As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. Although Gu Fei and the others have the support of the school, the school is not a Kaizi, so the last thing they can get is still the unit price or money.
So their list is not even a chicken rib for many factories.
Therefore, they had to grit their teeth and try it out at the school-run factory first.
The area of this school-run hardware factory is not small, and Gu Fei and Lin Chunhui are very familiar with it. It is where these students of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering do their metalworking internships in their sophomore and junior years.
It's really a factory, and it has all the tools it needs to produce.
It's just that the school built it just to give metalworking internships to students from several engineering-related departments, and it didn't expect it to make money. Therefore, it is only during the time of the students' metalworking internship that this school-run factory can be regarded as popular. Other days, it's simply sparsely populated and dead.
Lin Chunhui respectfully handed the gray-haired doorman a letter of introduction and a student ID, and the two of them changed into a set of work clothes that looked neat and clean before walking in.
Although it was a weekend, and it was still summer, it was not the time for metalworking internships, and the two of them originally thought that there would be three or two kittens or even empty. As a result, when they went in, they were taken aback, and then they found that there were many people in each workshop.
As the president of the student union, Lin Chunhui has always been hospitable, long-sleeved and good at dancing. He casually found someone and asked, and then he understood what was going on.
It turned out that the people in front of me were all students from vocational colleges and adult education colleges doing internships.
Gu Fei didn't care about what others were doing in their internships, but they turned to the processing workshop and were speechless.
This school-run gold factory has only one counting car and one counting milling. Gu Fei and the others came for these two machines.
However, at this time, the two machines were being watched by a dense crowd of students. Gu Fei and the others stood outside, listening to the voice of the CNC teacher faintly coming from inside, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"What should I do?" asked Lin Chunhui with an ugly face.
Gu Fei thought for a moment and suggested, "Wait a minute." It should be a moment before they're gone. Let's go get some materials first. ”
Lin Chunhui nodded, and followed Gu Fei towards the factory's warehouse.
According to their metalworking internship, it won't take long for the students watching the CNC machine tool to lose their curiosity and quickly turn around and disperse.
The reason for this is probably because there is nothing surprising about these two machines. In addition, metalworking internship is also a kind of course, and students have to follow the teacher, and it is impossible to stop in one place all the time because of curiosity.
After a while, the two of them pulled some steel back contentedly, and sure enough, they found that the two CNC machines were empty around them, and only a few students were still circling around them.
"Lao Gu, it's up to you. Let's go!" Lin Chunhui couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
Gu Fei pretended to roll up his sleeves and laughed, "Okay, just watch it." ”
As a result, within a few minutes, Gu Fei was dumb.
He straightened his eyes and couldn't help but curse fiercely: "I'm X!"
For a long time, these two machines have been used to demonstrate CNC technology to students. Gu Fei still clearly remembers that when they came to the internship, the CNC teacher tried his best to show off, but what they showed was only processing wood.
Maybe the school didn't think that anyone would actually use them for production. Gu Fei walked over to check up and down, and immediately burst into tears. He found that there was no coolant, no fixtures, and no tools in the two machines.
In other words, these two machines, like Cai Tianming's 3D printer, are just an ornament.
Lin Chunhui saw something strange and hurriedly came over to ask what happened. Gu Fei burst into tears and said this, Lin Chunhui looked around in amazement, and when he saw the wood chips accumulated in the machine tool, he couldn't help but be speechless.
The two had no choice but to leave gloomily.
Lin Chunhui hurriedly called Cai Tianming anxiously.
Cai Tianming couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard it. He thought for a moment and suggested, "I have an old friend who has opened a small processing factory, and he has been living a miserable life, why don't you go to his place?"
The two were helpless, so they had to ask each other's phone numbers and addresses, and prepared to visit.
With the drawings in hand, the two of them went around and around for most of the day before they came to a small factory a little away from their school.
Lin Chunhui wiped the sweat on his face, happily pointed to the small factory in front of him, and said: "No. 51 Qingteng Road, Hongsheng Hardware Processing Factory! ”
Hongsheng Hardware!?
Gu Fei silently muttered this name in his heart, and raised his head to look around.
The environment around this small factory is good, and the traffic extends in all directions. It's just that the door in front of them is locked, and it's even quieter inside, they have been knocking on the door for a while, and they haven't even opened the door.
Lin Chunhui suddenly woke up and hurriedly said, "Old Gu, no one has opened the door for so long. Do you think it's because no one is at work on weekends?"
Gu Fei shook his head calmly and said with a smile: "It's possible." However, even if there are no workers on weekends in a normal factory, there must still be doormen. ”
Lin Chunhui was stunned for a moment, his face was puzzled, "Then why didn't anyone pay attention to us?" Mr. Cai obviously called the boss of this factory. ”
Gu Fei smiled and said unexpectedly, "Obviously." We've been knocking on the door for so long and no one answers, which can only mean one thing. This company may really be the same as Mr. Cai said, not only has a bleak life, but is even on the verge of bankruptcy. I can't even afford a doorman. ”
"Let's wait a little longer. Since Mr. Cai has already called, it is estimated that the owner of this small factory will be on his way. ”
Before Gu Fei's words fell, a dusty car had already "creaked" and stopped in front of them.
