Chapter 34 Independent Development
Cheng Nantong coughed lightly and said: "Comrades, if you have any views on the automation of concrete batching plants, you can talk about it!" ā
Ren Zhidong, chief of the infrastructure equipment section, thought for a while and said, "Secretary Liu, Director Cheng, let me talk about my own views. Regarding the automatic control concrete batching plant that the two leaders just talked about, I think we should still adhere to the path of independent development. After all, we will build more concrete batching plants on a large scale in the next few years, if all imported from abroad, it will cost a lot of foreign exchange, and let foreigners earn this money, which is not slippery. If we can seize the opportunity of the great development of ready-mixed concrete, I think Donghua Construction Machinery Factory can not only get rid of the current situation of continuous losses, but also promote the technological development of China's construction machinery, especially concrete machinery. ā
Ren Zhidong's words, let everyone suddenly feel a kind of heaviness, indeed, the current Donghua Machinery Factory, belongs to the Huhai Construction Engineering Administration, this machinery factory was established very early, since the end of the seventies began to engage in the development and production of construction machinery, but under the planned economic system, the construction machinery factory is a small number of orders, the second is due to a single product structure, the technical content is not high, so it has been in a state of loss. There are more than 100 people in the whole factory, and only some relatively simple construction machinery can be produced, such as small tower cranes, small mixers used on the construction site, and even simple construction machinery such as trolleys used on the construction site. However, now if they want to develop an automated concrete mixing building, I am afraid it is a bit difficult, after all, this factory has never engaged in a large construction machinery such as a concrete mixing plant, and it is an automatic control of the concrete mixing building, which is a large span!
So everyone thinks that this building yƬ is a bit risky? To develop an automated concrete mixing plant must require a lot of research and development funds, if it succeeds, it is good to say, what if it fails? Donghua Construction Machinery Factory was originally a loss-making enterprise, they have no money to do it, can only be allocated by the Shanghai Construction Engineering Administration, if it fails, the money is equivalent to a waste, who will bear the responsibility?
Cheng Nantong groaned: "I think Comrade Zhidong's construction is still good!" It's a bit risky, but we all know that no matter what kind of business it is, it's risky, and the greater the risk, the higher the reward. Indeed, our domestic construction machinery manufacturers have a relatively thin foundation and have not engaged in high-tech large-scale construction machinery. In particular, Donghua Construction Machinery Factory has only more than 100 people, and there are only three engineers with senior professional titles, and the design and manufacturing capabilities are not satisfactory. However, this is also an opportunity, we can't always import concrete batching plants from abroad forever, right? And in the future, we also need more concrete mixer trucks, concrete pumps and other concrete machinery, and now there are domestic manufacturers engaged in concrete pumps, although it is not too mature, it is also an important step. As an international metropolis, Huhai must not lag behind other brother provinces in the development and production of construction machinery, so I think we should strive for this project! Secretary Liu, what do you think? ā
Liu Dazhi rubbed his temples and said slowly: "Whether this automated mixing building is built in Donghua Construction Machinery Factory or imported from abroad is indeed a difficult choice to make. On the one hand, we first inspect the advanced concrete mixing building abroad, and we can introduce one or two as a reference for our independent development, after all, we have no experience in the development and production of concrete mixing plant, and it is still very difficult to take such a big step at once. In addition, we are engaged in our own automation control of the mixing building, can not only rely on Donghua Construction Machinery Factory this unit, we should find a few more units, we work together to develop, especially in terms of automation control software, Donghua Construction Machinery Factory no one understands, right? Only walking on two legs is the most reliable, and when we can independently develop an automated concrete mixing plant, we can abandon foreign products. ā
As soon as Liu Dazhi's voice fell, everyone talked about it, and the two leaders had different opinions, which was not easy to do. Of course, their opinions are not completely different, and Secretary Liu Dazhi is more conservative, because he is originally responsible for the cadre. But everyone thinks that the method mentioned by the secretary is safer.
Cheng Nantong also saw that everyone seemed to agree with Liu Dazhi's opinion, but he was a professional in technology, and he always listened to whoever said it right, he thought about it carefully, and he also felt that complete independent research and development was indeed too big, and there were too many uncertain factors, and it was not easy to achieve success. So he looked at everyone and said loudly: "Okay, I think Secretary Liu added it correctly, and I completely agree with the two-legged approach." Let's draw up a plan, first go abroad for inspection, and strive to introduce two automated concrete mixing plants manufactured according to our requirements, and then we will learn foreign advanced technology to develop our own automated concrete mixing plant. ā
The atmosphere of the meeting was very harmonious, and everyone did not have the idea of intrigue, and only wanted to let the construction industry and ready-mixed concrete industry in Shanghai develop as much as possible. The development of Pudong New Area has sounded the clarion call, and a large number of construction projects need more high-quality ready-mixed concrete, so these things have become urgent! At this meeting, it was decided to immediately organize relevant leaders and experts of the Shanghai Construction Engineering Administration to go to Germany for inspection, because Germany's concrete machinery technology is the most advanced.
The members of the delegation included Cheng Nantong, director of the Huhai Construction Engineering Administration, Si Guofeng, deputy director, Chen Dingbang, chief engineer, Ren Zhidong, chief of the infrastructure equipment section, Shu Ming, director of Donghua Construction Machinery Factory, Gou Ancai, chief engineer of Donghua Construction Machinery Factory, Liu Yulong, chief engineer of Huhai Yijian Mixing Plant, and Li Ruoyu, technician of Huhai Yijian Mixing Plant. As soon as this list came out, the cadres of the Huhai Construction Engineering Administration were shocked, because the last person on the list turned out to be a small concrete batching plant technician. How can this not make their jaws drop! What they don't know is that the idea of an automated concrete mixing plant was put forward by this small technician Li Ruoyu. Of course, Li Ruoyu didn't know that he had been noticed by the cadres of the Shanghai Construction Engineering Administration.
