After returning from the steel factory to the agricultural machinery factory, Qin Hai went back to the single building by himself, while Ning Mo and the others went directly to the workshop and began to collect scrap steel and scrap iron everywhere, even the iron shavings and iron filings processed by the machine tool.

"Fatty, what do you want this thing for?"

The workers on the night shift in the metalworking workshop were very surprised to see Ning Mo sweeping the iron filings on the side of the machine like picking a treasure, and carefully packed them in several different boxes. It's not uncommon for factories to pick up scrap steel to do all sorts of things, which can be regarded as a backing. But these iron filings are always removed as garbage, and I have never seen anyone even pick such things.

Ning Mo smiled and didn't answer, but asked the questioner: "What kind of steel did you use for the parts you just processed?" ”

"What steel?" The other party was inexplicable, "No. 20 chrome steel, the picking list says it." ”

"Well, No. 20 chrome steel ......" Ning Meng genuinely wrote the corresponding steel number on the cardboard box containing iron filings, and as for what the chrome word was written, no one knew what was written.

In the past 20 years, it has also developed to a certain scale, with a variety of product types and complex steel grades involved. For example, the pinion used in the manufacture of tractors is made of 20-gauge chromium alloy steel; For the processing of cold work molds, chromium 12 molybdenum vanadium steel is used. Ordinary workers don't care about the difference in the performance of these steels, they just go to the warehouse to pick up the specified grade of steel according to the process requirements, and then process it.

Qin Hai planned to make a military dagger with outstanding performance for that nephew of the barbarian, and he first had to find the right steel. To be excellent in toughness, strength, wear resistance, etc., this steel must be some kind of alloy steel. Qin Hai has a lot of formula information on various alloy steels in his mind, and taking out any one of them is much better than the common steels on the market now. To smelt this alloy steel, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, nickel and other metal materials need to be used, and with Qin Hai's current identity, it is very difficult to get these raw materials.

Fortunately, Qin Hai is an eclectic person, he thought that the various alloy steels used in the factory now contain these metal elements, if a variety of alloy steels can be skillfully combined and smelted in one place, what he gets is the kind of ultra-high-strength steel he needs.

With this in mind, he arranged for Ning Mo and others to go to the workshop to collect scrap steel and iron filings, and asked them to record the steel grades and models of these scrap steel clearly for preparation. Ning Mo and Miao Lei went to the metalworking workshop and the foundry workshop respectively to find scrap steel, and Yu Haitao was a warehouse statistician, so he used his position to collect scrap turning tools, gears and other materials recovered in the warehouse, which also contained rare metals needed by Qin Hai.

Qin Hai didn't go with Ning Mo and them to collect scrap metal, which was not what he was good at, and he didn't need to waste his time on it. He went back to the bachelor's building alone, went into his room, took out the blank paper, and began to turn the several ordnance he had in his mind into processing drawings.

"Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk." Someone knocked on the door outside, followed by Wang Xiaochen's voice: "Xiao Qin, are you back?" ”

Qin Hai got up and opened the door for Wang Xiaochen, let her into the house, and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong, Xiaochen?" ”

Wang Xiaochen carried a hot water bottle in his hand and said, "I made an extra bottle of boiling water and brought it to you to use." You left with Ning Mo as soon as you got off work, you must not have turned on the water, right? ”

"Thank you Xiaochen." Qin Hai hurriedly took the hot water bottle and thanked Wang Xiaochen.

Wang Xiaochen said: "By the way, there is one more thing to inform you, after getting off work today, Section Chief Xiang, Section Chief Xiao and Section Chief Leng came to look for you together, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao." Section Chief Xiang said, tell you to go to work in the foundry workshop on time tomorrow. ”

Qin Haidao: "I originally had to go to work in the foundry, didn't he do it too much?" However, I know what they are doing when they come to me, and it must be the matter of high-frequency induction surfacing that I told Section Chief Leng today. ”

"They didn't say it." Wang Xiaochen said, after that, she lowered her voice a few degrees and asked, "Xiao Qin, have you heard, our factory is going to change production again." ”

The content of the middle-level cadre meeting in the afternoon had already spread in the Qingfeng factory without waiting for the night. There are only 200 cadres and workers in the Qingfeng factory, of which more than 30 are middle-level cadres. Every middle-level cadre has three or five well-connected workers, and when they come out of the meeting, they naturally want to reveal one or two of the contents of the meeting to their friends. The result of more than 30 people being revealed at the same time naturally spread the news to every household.

"Change? What to turn around? What does this have to do with me? Qin Hai asked in confusion. He was dragged away by Ning Mo and them as soon as he got off work today, and he had just come back, so naturally he didn't know what happened at the meeting of the middle-level cadres of Lu Dao.

In addition, he only came to the Qingfeng factory yesterday to report, and the grievances and grievances of the Qingfeng factory in the past are also quite distant things for him. In his opinion, what Qingfeng Factory is willing to produce, that is something that the factory director has to ponder, what does it have to do with him? He does have a lot of knowledge in materials and technology, but it depends on whether the factory needs it or not. If the factory didn't need his knowledge, then he would simply let them go to private work to earn money.

Wang Xiaochen obviously planned to have a good chat with Qin Hai about the change of production, because from her point of view, she believed that the rise and fall of Qingfeng Factory was directly related to her own interests, so she had been worried about this matter. She felt that Qin Hai was a literate person and had no arrogance, and was willing to communicate with her, an ordinary flaw detector, so she wanted to hear Qin Hai's opinion on this matter.

"Xiao Qin, you don't know what to do." Wang Xiaochen sat down on Qin Hai's bed and said, "Our factory has changed production this time, and it has turned a lot. Director Wei means to completely abandon the production of agricultural machinery and switch to the production of washing machines. ”

"Switching to washing machines?" Qin Hai saw Wang Xiaochen sit down, and knew that she was planning to have a long talk with him, so he also sat down on the chair and listened patiently to Wang Xiaochen's story. Hearing Wang Xiaochen say that Qingfeng Factory plans to switch to the production of washing machines, Qin Hai couldn't help laughing: "Wei Baolin's head was kicked by a donkey? When has this been, and is it not self-defeating to switch to the production of washing machines? ”

"Really?" Wang Xiaochen looked at Qin Hai with wide eyes, and asked puzzledly, "Is it not good to switch to washing machines?" ”

Qin Haidao: "If it is three years earlier, it is a good choice to switch to washing machines, of course, the premise is whether our factory can solve the supply problem of motors, plastics and other raw materials." Today, washing machines have become so popular, and it would be a dead end to switch to washing machines at this time. Do you know how many cities in the country are building their own washing machine factories? ”

"Ahh Wang Xiaochen was stunned by Qin Hai's words, "You mean, if our factory switches to washing machines, it will definitely fail, right?" ”

Qin Haidao: "Whether it will fail or not, no one can say for sure, but this is indeed not a good decision." According to my impression, in the past two years, a large number of various household appliance enterprises have been launched all over the country, including televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, etc., and there will soon be a surplus. Our factory has no advantage in this regard, if the market is excessive, the first to collapse, naturally is a factory like ours. ”

"Is that so?" Wang Xiaochen thought thoughtfully, "Today we heard that the middle-level cadres came back after a meeting to talk about the switch to washing machines, and everyone said everything. Some people think that making washing machines is more profitable than making agricultural machinery, and some people think that our factory may not be able to make washing machines, but no one thinks like you. ”

Qin Hai smiled slightly, and did not explain. At that time, China was still a country with a shortage of materials, and people only thought about whether they could make things, and never considered whether they could sell them. In later generations, when materials were highly abundant, selling things became a more important thing than making things.

Qin Hai was able to take precautions and think of the crisis of excess in the washing machine market, entirely because he was a time-traveler from later generations. If he didn't have such foresight, I am afraid that he would be like the cadres and workers of the Qingfeng factory, and his thinking would be limited to the issue of production capacity.

"Qin Hai, tell Director Wei about your thoughts, and ask him to stop working on washing machines." Wang Xiaochen pleaded, she was really worried about the future of the factory. She felt that if Qin Hai told Wei Baolin these reasons, Wei Baolin would definitely realize the risk of switching to washing machines, so as to change this wrong decision.

Qin Hai secretly said in his heart: Wang Xiaochen is only a 20-year-old girl after all, and it is too simple to think about the problem. Wei Baolin did not pay attention to the risks of producing washing machines, and they insisted on launching this idea, I am afraid that it is more profitable, which is not something that others can change by casually talking.

Thinking of this, Qin Hai shook his head and said, "I'm soft-spoken, it doesn't seem appropriate to go to the factory director to talk about this kind of thing, right?" Section Chief Xiang and Section Chief Xiao are all experienced people, can't they think of this? ”

Wang Xiaochen said: "I don't know if they thought of this, but I talked to several masters about this today, and they didn't mention it, only you, Xiao Qin, thought of it." Oh, if things are really like what you Xiao Qin said, then our factory will be terrible. ”

Qin Haidao: "Meat eaters, this kind of thing is not something that we small workers can worry about." ”

Wang Xiaochen was also a little depressed, she stood up and walked out, and said, "Well, okay...... Xiao Qin, rest early. ”

"Okay, Xiaochen walks slowly." Qin Hai said.

I had a day meeting yesterday and came home late. A friend who has always been very reliable recommended a new book called "The Birth of an Entertainment Empire" on Q, saying that it is very similar to my book.

I looked at it and thought it was really well written. Many entertainment-themed novels are slaughtering all directions as soon as they come up, the supporting characters have zero IQs, and the protagonists are full of the spirit of the king. This book is written about the world of normal people, and the world is all in the normal world, which is suitable for the taste of oranges.

Actually, what I want to say is that I am fascinated by reading books...... Forgot to post this morning's update. Students who are short of books can click the link below
