Chapter 262: Ceramics are also crazy
After calming Li Linguang, who was dreaming of making a fortune, Qin Hai couldn't help but smile and drove back to Pingyuan. What he thinks is funny is that a character like Li Linguang, who is beyond the world, actually got into the eyes of money so quickly, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It seems that as the saying goes, there are no people in this world who cannot be tempted, and the key is whether the temptation is big enough.
There is still a month left before the International Farming Equipment Expo that Cui Hongchun said, and it is enough for Li Linguang and Yue Kun to improve the equipment. The equipment manufactured before can already be used for actual production, and Qin Hai plans to notify Ning Zhongying to send someone to pull the equipment back to the Qingfeng factory tomorrow and start mass production of the upgraded rotary tillage blade.
The jeep drove into the steel plant, Qin Hai saw that the factory was brightly lit everywhere, the roar of the rolling mill was faintly heard in the workshop, and the workers who came and went were all in a hurry, a scene of busy production.
Since Shen Changping was demoted to Luoshan Power Supply Station, a new director of Chengguan Power Supply Station came to visit the steel plant at the beginning of his tenure, and repeatedly emphasized that he would do everything possible to ensure the power supply of the steel plant. During this period of time, the power supply of the steel plant was really stable, and even when the power supply of the county was insufficient and some enterprises needed to be curtailed, the power of the steel plant was fully guaranteed, which was in line with Qin Hai's previous idea, that is, to take advantage of this crisis to win a special position for the steel plant.
Because it was late to the factory, Qin Hai did not go to the office, but drove the car directly to the door of the house, and then locked the car and walked home. As soon as he walked downstairs, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the house, which seemed to be mixed with some Linxi accents.
"Who's coming?" Qin Hai pushed open the door and asked with a smile.
"Director Qin, you're back! We're worried you won't be back today. A man got up from the couch. He walked towards Qin Hai with a smile, and stretched out his hands two or three steps away.
"Ouch, it turned out to be Brother Liu, why are you here!" Only then did Qin Hai recognize that the person in front of him was Liu Shuo from Quwu Jianxing Coal Mine, the eldest of those orphans in the mining disaster who was taken care of by the old mine Changsha Renyuan.
More than a year ago. Qin Hai went to Quwu to buy coal, and was moved by Sha Renyuan, and took out hundreds of thousands of yuan to co-establish a brother ceramic factory with Sha Renyuan, and Liu Shuo was appointed as the director of the ceramic factory. For more than a year, Qin Hai has been busy, and he and Liu Shuo have been communicating by phone and letters, and at first glance, they are really unrecognizable.
In the past, when talking on the phone. Qin Hai knew that Sha Renyuan had passed away due to illness, and Liu Shuo and others kept in mind Sha Renyuan's instructions and ran the ceramic factory conscientiously. Under the technical guidance of Qin Hai, the operation of the ceramic factory is good, and it has achieved self-financing last year, and it is expected to make hundreds of thousands of yuan of profits this year.
"Why didn't Brother Liu call first? I knew you were coming today, and I would have been waiting for you in Pingyuan. Qin Hai said apologetically while shaking hands with Liu Shuo.
"Director Qin is too polite. We also couldn't buy train tickets, so we couldn't set a time. A middle-aged woman who stood up after Liu Shuo also stepped forward to shake Qin Hai's hand. Said with a smile. Qin Hai recognized that she was also one of the orphans of those miners, named Huang Yanling, who was now the deputy director of the ceramics factory, mainly responsible for internal management affairs.
Lao Liu They were also too polite and got off at Pingyuan Railway Station. I didn't call our factory, I carried so many things on my back, and I came all the way. Actually, if they make a call, I'll send a car to pick them up. Qin Minghua said on the side.
Liu Shuo, Huang Yanling and two other workers came from Linxi by train, after arriving in Pingyuan. I inquired all the way to the steel mill. When I came to the factory to ask, I learned that Qin Hai happened to go to Hongze to see Li Linguang, and he was not in the factory. However, Qin Minghua heard his son talk about Quwu, and he enthusiastically brought Liu Shuo and others to live in the guest house in the factory, arranged for them to eat, and warmly invited them to his home to chat.
Before Qin Hai went home, Qin Minghua had always been accompanying Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling, in fact, the age gap between them was smaller, but they had more common language. Although Qin Hai called Liu Shuo "big brother", in fact, Liu Shuo was more than 20 years older than Qin Hai and only a few years younger than Qin Minghua. However, he cares a lot about his identity, and he has always called Qin Minghua uncle, and he doesn't dare to mess with his seniority.
After a few pleasantries, the guests and hosts sat down separately. As soon as Liu Shuo sat down, he said to Qin Hai anxiously: "Director Qin, you wrote to us last time and asked us to develop and produce ultrafine alumina and zirconia powder. We organized the engineers in the factory, according to the method suggested in your letter, to produce both kinds of powders. This time, Yan Ling and I specially sent you these powders. â
"Developed so quickly? What about the technical indicators? Qin Hai asked.
Liu Shuo said with a smile: "With such detailed technical guidance provided by Director Qin, if we can't figure it out, we will really have no face." We do it in strict accordance with your requirements, the particle size and purity have reached the standard, but the cost is relatively high, and the cost of each kilogram of zirconia powder is almost forty or fifty yuan. â
The spraying material used by Qin Hai for thermal spraying treatment of the rotary tillage blades of the Qingfeng factory is titanium nitride. In terms of wear resistance, this material is the most ideal. But the downside is that titanium is a very expensive metal, and titanium nitride is also expensive, so it can be used in agricultural machinery and implements in a bit of luxury. The performance is slightly inferior to titanium nitride, and the cost is also cheaper, and alumina and zirconia belong to this category of materials.
The brother ceramics factory co-founded by Qin Hai and Sha Renyuan in Quwu was positioned to produce industrial ceramics from the beginning, mainly alumina ceramics and zirconia ceramics. This time, Qin Hai plans to engage in thermal spraying technology, which is just right to use their ceramic materials. However, the ceramic products originally produced by Brother Ceramics Factory are mainly industrial crucibles, electric furnace wall materials, etc., and the particle size requirements for ceramic raw materials are not high. Ceramics used for thermal spraying, on the other hand, must be in powder form and have a particle size in the micron range, which involves a series of material preparation processes.
Qin Hai is well versed in the process of preparing micro- and even nano-scale ceramic materials, and he proposes several technical routes according to the existing technical conditions of his brother ceramic factory. Liu Shuo organized the engineers in the factory to conduct research according to Qin Hai's prompts, and quickly solved various process problems. Alumina and zirconia powders were prepared to meet the requirements of Qinhai.
Originally, they only needed to transport these powders by rail, but Liu Shuo thought that Qin Hai had helped them so much, and he had not come to visit, which was too rude, so he took the opportunity to send materials. took Huang Yanling all the way to come to the door in person.
"We are now producing on a small scale, and if the scale of production is expanded, the cost should be reduced a little, but we estimate that the price of at least 30 yuan per kilogram of zirconia will be higher." Huang Yanling said.
Qin Haidao: "Of course, it is better if the cost can be reduced, if it can't be reduced, 30 yuan per kilogram is not expensive." As long as you can produce it, I promise to sell it to you at a price of 300 yuan per kilogram. â
"It can be sold so expensive!" Liu Shuo said in surprise, he looked back at Huang Yanling. said: "Yan Ling, if there is really such a high profit, it is much higher than the profit of our production of ceramic products." â
"It is not surprising that this ultra-fine particle alumina and zirconia powder is used to coat the metal surface, and the amount used is not large, but the wear resistance and heat resistance of the material can be greatly improved, so the manufacturer is not particularly sensitive to the price." Qin Hai explained.
"So, the market is not in great demand?" Huang Yanling asked.
Qin Haidao: "The current demand should not be too large. It is estimated that when our newly developed ceramic coating process is promoted, the demand will be larger. However, a few tons a year is estimated to be at the top. â
"A few tons is not bad." Liu Shuo said. According to Qin Hai, a kilogram of zirconia can be sold for 300 yuan, a ton is 300,000, and a few tons is one or two million, and the cost is only one-tenth. The profits are very impressive. Unlike Qin Hai, Liu Shuo is still in a state of just getting out of poverty, and the profit of one or two million is simply astronomical for him.
After talking about the production matter, Qin Hai remembered to ask Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling's intentions. Liu Shuo smiled:
"We came to visit Director Qin's family on behalf of our brothers and sisters. Last year, our factory basically broke even. According to your explanation, Director Qin, we gave each family a bonus at the end of the year, and everyone was very happy when they received more than 1,000 yuan.
This year, the shape of the factory is even better than last year, and many markets have been opened, and there are some stable customers. Yan Ling and I estimated that if this momentum continues, the dividends that each family can receive at the end of this year will at least quadruple compared to last year.
Everyone said that we were able to have such a good life, with a stable and safe work, and a good income, all thanks to the help of Director Qin. Therefore, we have to let the two of us represent them, come to see Director Qin, and express our hearts. â
"Xiaohai, Director Liu, they sent millet, walnuts, peanuts, sesame oil, and a lot of things to our family, and I told your father that I don't know how to thank them." Zong Huiying walked out of the inner room and said to Qin Hai.
"Auntie, don't say that. Our things are not worth much, and Director Qin gave each of us a golden rice bowl. Liu Shuo said to Zong Huiying with a smile. (To be continued......)
PS: It's a bit of a cardin. When a plot is over, and when another plot is to begin, there needs to be some transition, or a suitable introduction method, sometimes the brain is not very clear, and you can't think of a good transition plot, which is called Kavin. After all, writing a book is not really a codeword, it requires the power to create a zĂ o. Some students complained in the book review area that oranges were updated slowly, and oranges were also in a hurry, but once the plot was stuck, the more anxious they were, the more bad they were, please understand.
In addition, some students criticized that they write about quenching, surfacing welding, and thermal spraying all day long, so why don't they write materials around the topic...... Orange was speechless. Materials technology is not limited to the manufacture of materials, but also includes the processing of materials, or processes. Thermal spraying technology is a very important material technology. So far, all the technical content written in this book is material technology. As for the plot of the struggle that has just ended, it is also necessary, and blindly climbing the science and technology tree will not become a chronicle?
The book is estimated to be a long time to write, and it is only the beginning, and the current time node is in July of '87......
