Hearing Qin Hai's words, Zhu Shouhe was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Yes, Oso showed us the production records, this is indeed the 1978 model." ”

"A stock model from 1978, right?" Qin Hai said mercilessly.

"Xiao Qin, what do you mean?" Jiang Huanwen interjected. This trip is aimed at introducing a set of electric furnaces and their subsequent continuous casting equipment that have reached the technical level of the late 70s in Europe.

When they went to Oso, they saw with their own eyes the electric stove, which is said to have been made in 1978, and according to Oso, it has been in the warehouse since it was built, and it is still brand new. The baked blue on the electric stove is dazzling, and every button is full of the beauty of European industry, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye. Compared with this electric furnace, Honggang's existing electric furnaces are almost all garbage.

However, such an electric stove that Jiang Huanwen and his family liked so much was said by Qin Hai to be a stock model in 1978. Speaking of which, Qin Hai's statement is not wrong, it is indeed inventory goods, but the meaning of Qin Hai's words is clearly not like this.

"It's an RP furnace, and it's been out of use in Europe since at least 1975." Qin Hai said simply.

The so-called RP is the Regular_Power in English, which means ordinary power. On the other hand, there is Ultra_High_Power, that is, ultra-high power. The concept of ultra-high power electric furnace was proposed by the Americans in 1964, and has been practiced on 135-ton electric furnace in the United States, and has achieved good results. Since then, major steel-producing countries in Europe have launched ultra-high power electric furnaces, and by the mid-70s, Europe has no longer built new ordinary power electric furnaces. All new electric furnaces are ultra-high power electric furnaces.

Compared with ordinary power electric furnaces, ultra-high power electric furnaces have the advantages of shortening melting time, increasing productivity, improving thermal efficiency, and are easy to connect with refining and continuous casting techniques outside the furnace. In terms of smelting cycle, the average power electric furnace is about 160 minutes, while the ultra-high power electric furnace can be shortened to 60 to 70 minutes. The smelting time is greatly reduced.

Qin Hai's words woke up Zhu Shou and the man in his dream. He also participated in the negotiation and data translation work, how could he not know that what they negotiated was only an ordinary power electric furnace, but before Qin Hai reminded him, he did not realize the technical age of ordinary power electric furnaces, and he thought that the level of Europe in the late 70s was like this.

In fact, this cannot be blamed for Zhu Shouhe's ignorance, the concept of ultra-high power electric furnace is indeed too "lofty" for China's domestic steel mills. Zhu Shouhe once saw this concept in some academic journals. It is also known that this kind of electric furnace is currently more popular abroad, but I didn't expect that the foreign technology would be updated so quickly.

"You mean, this electric stove can't have been made in 1978?" Zhu Shouhe asked hesitantly.

Qin Haidao: "Its manufacturing date may be 1978, or it may be earlier, since they have shown the production records, they must be ready to say it according to this caliber, we have no way to verify." However, its technical design must have been completed before 1975, because it was impossible to make ordinary power electric furnaces in Europe after 1975. I guess. This may be an electric furnace made by Oso for other companies, but it was rejected by others because of its backward technology. That's why I tried to sell it to us. ”

"Lao Zhu, is what Xiao Qin said true?" Jiang Huanwen's face became very ugly, he stared at Zhu Shouhe, and asked seriously.

Zhu Shouhe was a little stunned, and he said: "What Xiao Qin said has some truth. But. Did Europe stop producing ordinary power electric furnaces after 1975...... I don't know very well. Judging from the information I have seen, the ultra-high power electric furnace does represent the future development trend, if we introduce an ordinary power electric furnace, it is very likely to fall behind just put into production. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Jiang Huanwen was annoyed, what is this. The head of the dignified technical section, who is negotiating and translating materials, can't even see such a big flaw, and in the end it was a young man playing soy sauce next to him who reminded him, and everyone realized this problem. In case Xiaoqing didn't have more of this mouth, could it be that Honggang spent so much energy that he could only buy back a device that was about to be eliminated?

Yao Guojie, the chief of the financial section, made a round next to him, and he said: "Director Jiang, you can't blame Section Chief Zhu for this matter. In fact, Oso also has more advanced equipment, can't we afford it? This electric furnace, as Comrade Xiao Qin said, is a bit backward, but if it is taken back to our China, it can be regarded as an advanced technology, at least it is much stronger than those old goods in our workshop, right? We are a developing country, how can we compare with developed countries? ”

"But...... If we want to modernize, we can't always follow others! Xiao Mengqin muttered with annoyance on her face, she has been tired for so many days, not to mention sweat, even tears have flowed half a cylinder, if the final introduction is still a knockout equipment, it is really unwilling.

Qin Hai looked at the depressed appearance of the others, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He said: "What Section Chief Yao said is also reasonable, if this equipment is relatively cheap, it is not impossible to buy it back and use it for a few years, after all, its automatic control system, oxygen blowing technology, etc., are more advanced than our existing domestic equipment." Can I ask, what is the price of this equipment? ”

In the past, Qin Hai would definitely not get an answer to this question, not because of how strong Honggang's sense of secrecy was, but because everyone felt that there was no need for an outsider to understand such a thing. But after this discussion just now, everyone has some trust in Qin Hai, Yao Guojie looked at Jiang Huanwen, and after getting Jiang Huanwen's affirmative look, he said to Qin Hai: "The full set of equipment, including electric furnaces, transformers and continuous casting equipment, is a total of 22 million US dollars. ”

"Oso said they now have two sets in stock, and if we can get them together, the two sets will only cost $40 million." Zhu Shouhe added.

"You mean, there are two sets?" Qin Hai's heart moved.

"What, Xiao Qin, can you find another buyer?" Yao Guojie keenly noticed the fluctuation in Qin Hai's expression.

Since hearing the conditions offered by Oso, several people from Red Steel have been pondering whether they can find another buyer. The two partners bought back two sets of equipment, and each set of equipment could save $2 million, which is a lot of money. However, they were in Spain and couldn't get in touch with their counterparts in China, so they bought two sets at the same time. It can only be put on hold.

Qin Hai quickly thought about it in his heart, and then asked Jiang Huanwen: "Director Jiang, if there is no other choice, are you going to spend 22 million to buy this set of equipment?" ”

Jiang Huanwen nodded and said: "Yes, the funds we applied for, that is, so much, it is impossible to buy better equipment." ”

Qin Hai smiled and threw out a new question that everyone didn't expect: "Then, if you spend 22 million to buy their two sets of equipment." Would you like to? ”

"What!" Yao Guojie's eyes widened, "Xiao Qin, what are you kidding?" ”

Qin Hai said: "I can give it a try, maybe I can help you negotiate the price." However, if the price can be talked about below 11 million, are you willing to eat both sets of equipment? ”

"But...... What do we need two sets of equipment for? Zhu Shouhe scratched his scalp, he really couldn't turn this corner. As the head of the technical section, of course, he knew that only one set of such equipment was needed in the factory. Two sets of equipment were bought, and there was no place to put them. There isn't that much business to do either.

"One set for you, one set for me." Qin Hai finally bared his fangs, "Let me introduce myself, I am from the Nord Stream Iron and Steel Plant in Anhe Province, so I don't need to go into detail about my specific position." We are also currently facing the problem of outdated steelmaking equipment, if Honggang can buy two sets of such equipment. Can you give us a set? ”

"Are you saying that your Nord Stream Iron and Steel Plant and our Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant cooperated to buy these two sets of equipment, and by the way, the price was lowered?" Jiang Huanwen asked with a calm face. In the face of such a big change, as the factory director, he must stabilize his mind and not let Qin Hai catch any flaws. Pitted them.

Qin Hai shook his head and said: "We Beigang can't apply for foreign exchange indicators, 11 million US dollars is not a small amount, and we can't take it out at present." What I mean is that if Honggang buys both sets of equipment, and then transfers one of the equipment to Beigang for use, we can be regarded as leasing and operation, and pay for the equipment to Honggang in the next three years...... Well, it's okay to add some bank interest, what does Director Jiang think? ”

"It's impossible." Jiang Huanwen said decisively that he had never heard of such a thing as spending money to buy equipment and leasing it to other factories, let alone doing it himself.

Qin Hai smiled, handed the information in his hand to Xiao Mengqin, and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you." Xiao Gong, if you are busy with translation work, I can help you translate some in the evening. ”

With that, he stood up, took the empty food plate, and walked out.

"Hey......" Zhu Shouhe subconsciously shouted, and as soon as the words came out, he saw Jiang Huanwen's dark face again, and quickly swallowed the words back. The group watched Qin Hai put the plate away, and then took Chen Hongcheng away.

"Director Jiang, I think this guy's plan is feasible." Yao Guojie lowered his voice and said, "Anyway, we also plan to spend 22 million, buying one set is buying, and buying two sets is also buying." Didn't he say that the lease is equivalent to 11 million US dollars for nothing? ”

Jiang Huanwen looked at the door of the restaurant that no longer had Qin Hai's back, and said, "Do you think what this kid said is reliable?" ”

"I think it's kind of reliable." Yao Guojie said, "Even if it's unreliable, let him try, what's the matter?" Nothing to lose to us? ”

Zhu Shouhe said: "I'm going to check the information today to see if what he said is true." If these two sets of equipment are really expired techniques, then Oso must be in a hurry to make a move, let's negotiate a lower price, it should also be possible. ”

Jiang Huanwen said: "That's exactly what I mean, since he can talk about it, we can also talk about it, why should we be subject to him?" (To be continued......)
