"I said, Lao Bao, it's not a shame for you to engage in this half-ocean and half-earth game

Zhen Zifei, chief engineer of Hunbei Forging Machinery Factory, accompanied by Lin Zhenhua, Liu Zhaohua and others, accompanied by Bao Guangming, director of Suzhou Forging Machine Tool Factory, is inspecting the production workshop of Suzhou Forging. Donnie Yen looked at the delicate handle on a shearing machine that was about to be assembled, and couldn't help but feel disdain.

"You mean this handle?" Bao Guangming walked to the shearing machine, stretched out his hand and grabbed the handle and turned it around a few times, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhen, you said that this handle is embarrassing, but my favorite is this handle." ”

"Quality, pay attention to your quality." Donnie Yen said that he was originally a person who coaxed him, and he had a lot of dealings with Bao Guangming this time, and he was quite familiar with it, and he spoke with a big grin: "Old Bao, why do I think you are a little shameless and proud?" The feeding and shearing in your shearing machine are controlled by the industrial control chip of K11|, but the last fine-tuning part uses a small handwheel of a township enterprise in southern Jiangsu, which reduces the grade of your product at once. ”

Liu Zhaohua also said: "Director Bao, I remember that I helped you solve the problem of steel plate positioning last time?" The prototype has also been tested, why haven't you changed the product yet? ”

Bao Guangming said: "The two of you don't know, the positioning system designed by Liu Gong for us is indeed very good, but there is a problem, it is too expensive." A set of laser probes, plus a set of fine-tuned stepper motors, our domestic ones are not suitable, and the imported one will cost more than US dollars, which is more than 0 yuan, and the cost will go up all of a sudden. You said that I will change to a handwheel now, the effect is the same, the machine is cheaper by more than 20,000 yuan, why not? ”

"Uh・・・・・・" Donnie Yen was speechless, he was engaged in technology, and he was very clear about what Bao Guangming said. The cost of CNC machine tools is mainly on some CNC accessories, measuring devices, stepper motors, etc. And if you use imported parts, the price is indeed amazingly expensive, the sales price of a shearing machine is more than 200,000 yuan, and the material cost is only 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, and if this set of accessories costs more than 20,000 yuan, the cost will go up all of a sudden.

Lin Zhenhua also stepped forward, turned the handle, pondered the mechanical structure, and then said with a smile: "My opinion is the same as Lao Bao's, and I also think that this handle is the most creative." ”

Bao Guangming saw that his views were supported by Lin Zhenhua, and couldn't help but feel proud, he patted Donnie Yen on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Zhen, in this regard, you still have to learn more from Mr. Lin, don't look at the books you studied in the United States, Mr. Lin...... cough, I don't read too much, but Mr. Lin has a better understanding of our national conditions, and you can't accept it. ”

Donnie Yen said to Lin Zhenhua: "Mr. Lin, do you really think this handle is okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Lin Zhenhua said, "Lao Bao is right, since a handle can solve the problem, why do we have to spend more than 20,000 yuan to engage in automatic control?" In fact, when the shearing operation is carried out, there is a worker next to it, and letting this worker piggyback on the work of fine-tuning will not increase the workload much, and it will save more than 20,000 yuan in costs for the enterprise, which can be calculated by the enterprise. ”

"But ・・・・・・" Donnie Yen dragged his tongue, trying to find some reason to refute Lin Zhenhua, but he really couldn't find it. Lin Zhenhua's point of view is a bit subversive of his knowledge. In his mind, what can be done by a machine should not be done by a man, and this is the philosophy taught to him by an American professor. But Lin Zhenhua's statement is also correct, and the workers who forge and press often tell him this. ..., Lin Zhenhua said: "Hehe, Xiao Zhen, you have to understand the national situation." We are a developing country, no matter what we do, practicality is the most important thing, and other fancy things, if they can't meet the practicality, don't need to think about it. When our economy develops, it will be too late to think about other things. ”

"Minister Hu has often talked to us about this idea." Liu Zhaohua took Lin Zhenhua's words and said, the Minister Hu he said meant Hu Fei. Hu Fei is an industrial engineer who specializes in cost-benefit accounting, and often instills some industrial engineering ideas into the company's executives and engineers.

Minister Hu often said that the so-called quality refers to the degree to which the product meets the needs of customers.

All the quality that exceeds the customer's needs is a waste of the customer's money, and such quality is invalid. Liu Zhaohua introduced.

"Actually, I've learned this idea too." Donnie Yen muttered that he remembered that he had learned this knowledge, but when it came to doing things, it was still an engineering student's thinking that prevailed, always thinking about striving for perfection and not tolerating defects. After Lin Zhenhua, Liu Zhaohua and others said this, Donnie Yen has a deeper understanding of the statements in the books.

"Our products are all simple because of the ugliness, and we try to save as much as possible, and the result is that the price is lower than the cost of Sihu, and it is very competitive in the market. Now in terms of low-end products, we have completely recovered the market, the mid-end market has its own winners and losers, and the high-end ones have completely given up. Bao Guangming reported to Lin Zhenhua. He is much older than Lin Zhenhua, but he has always had a humble attitude in front of Lin Zhenhua. Since Lin Zhenhua promised to help Su Forging develop CNC technology, Bao Guangming put himself in the position of Lin Zhenhua's subordinates. In his own words, he is willing to play for Mr. Lin.

"The high-end part depends on Xiao Zhen." Lin Zhenhua pointed at Donnie Yen and said.

Seeing that the topic turned to himself, Donnie Yen put away his smiling face, and turned to Bao Guangming seriously: "Director Bao, I didn't come here to find fault with your products this time, I have something to ask Director Bao for help." ”

"It's the car stamping production line that Mr. Lin told me about last time, right?" Bao Guangming asked.

"That's it." Donnie Yen said, "Director Bao, you Su Forging is also an old enterprise in the forging industry, with rich experience, and there are many complementary places between us and our forging pressing. This time, we are engaged in the automobile shell stamping production line, the overall design has basically been completed, but in some details, there are still some difficulties, so I would like to ask the contractor to open the door to arrange a few capable and experienced engineers to our forging press to assist in the work. ”

"No problem!" Bao Guangming agreed without saying a word, "As long as it is our Su Forging person, who do you fancy, take me away directly, and I will definitely not say a word." ”

"Great, then I'll thank the director of the factory in advance." Donnie Yen flew to Bao Guangming and arched his hand to show his gratitude.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Lao Bao, you won't suffer a loss if you participate in this project." The automobile stamping line is a big project, and the output value of one or two hundred million US dollars is almost one or two hundred million US dollars. ”

"That's great! In this way, I should thank Mr. Zhen. Bao Guangming hurriedly returned the salute to Donnie Yen, and the two of them exchanged words, and then laughed together.

After laughing, Donnie Yen returned to a serious expression, and he said to Lin Zhenhua: "Mr. Lin, according to what we have learned, Xihu Company is also peddling their automobile stamping production line internationally. Both Ford and GM in the United States have already received the materials from Sihu, and the two companies are currently comparing prices, and there is not much time left for us. Lin Zhenhua asked, "When will our design be finalized?" ”

Donnie Yen shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." ”

"Can't say?" Lin Zhenhua was surprised, "Didn't you already have an idea more than a year ago?" Some time ago, you told me that the design is almost over, why can't you say it now? ”

Donnie Yen said: "If you just want to submit a set of designs similar to Xihu's, I can say that it has already been completed. But I'm not happy with the design I've done, and I'm hoping for some new ideas, you know? ”

"What love brother?" Bao Guangming didn't understand, and interjected on the side.

"What Mr. Zhen means is that he wants to have some new ideas, or new ideas, and he doesn't want to repeat the work that others already have." Liu Zhaohua explained to Bao Guangming.

Lin Zhenhua frowned and said to Donnie Yen: "I understand your thoughts, your thoughts are right." Compared with Xihu Company, our technical strength is still a lot worse. If our product designs are aligned, then we will inevitably lose in the final bidding stage. The only way to win against Sihu is to create new ideas in design. But it's very difficult, after all, where innovation can be made, others may have already tried. ”

Donnie Yen said: "This matter is not so pessimistic, although my design is similar to that of Xihu Company, which belongs to the technology commonly used by various manufacturers, but our cost is still much lower than that of Xihu Company." Purely fighting for the cost, we also have a 30% chance of winning. ”

"This kind of spelling belongs to killing a thousand people and harming eight hundred." Lin Zhenhua said, "Low cost is definitely our advantage, but if it is only low cost, at least in the stamping production line this product is not obvious." Unless we optimize the design to achieve low costs, so that we can really impress customers. ”

The stamping production line is a high value-added product, if you want to fight the price, the result can only be to reduce the income of the enterprise. To build a stamping line, you need to purchase some special equipment, tooling, etc., and these costs also need to be calculated in the total cost. If the income is reduced, it will be difficult to recover the investment in these special equipment, and the project will be equivalent to a loss. The current financial resources are not abundant, and it cannot support the practice of losing money and making money.

Donnie Yen smiled and pointed to the small handle on Su Forging's plate rolling machine, and said, "Mr. Lin, just now I heard you and Lao Bao talk about the wonders of this handle, and I suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun." I think that in my past design, I cared too much about automation, and if I could simplify some of the automation parts and replace them with manual control, the cost could be reduced by more than that. Coupled with our original cost advantage, the two combined, the price of our products can be at least 50% lower than Xihu's products, such a large price discount, I think Ford, GM, are unable to refuse.

"That's why you want to borrow someone from the contractor?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Donnie Yen said: "Yes and no. In fact, before I came, I thought about cooperating with the director of the contract factory, because Su Forging has a higher technical level than our forging pressure in some aspects, and I hope to learn from each other's strengths. Just now, I thought of a new idea to modify the design, and I think there should be some people on the side of the director who can help me. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Xiao Zhen, it's very rare that you can think of this.

This shows that you have truly changed from a returnee to a local engineer. I would like to give you a suggestion, not only should you borrow people from the director of the factory, but you should also mobilize all the workers who are forging and pressing, work together, and everyone will come up with ideas together. As a decades-old factory, Hun Forging has precipitated a lot of very valuable experience among workers, and you have to develop and make use of this experience. ”

"I see." Donnie Yen said, "I will change from a returnee to a turtle as soon as possible, I am dirty, I am proud." "Min
