456 Product Planning
It is difficult for people today to understand the grievances of China's industry in those years. ะจะจะจใ rรกั รญฤใ At that time, not only the old industrial countries such as Europe and the United States, but also the rising countries such as South Korea were enough to pose a serious threat to China in certain industries.
Lin Zhenhua is engaged in machinery, he knows that in the real history, as far as the machine tool industry is concerned, China until the end of the 90s of the 20th century, is still in a very backward state, especially CNC machine tools, heavily dependent on imports. Some Korean machine tool companies are thriving in China, frantically devouring China's machine tool market.
Since the beginning of the new century, the state has launched a series of measures to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry, which has reversed the situation of China's equipment industry being passively beaten. By the time Lin Zhenhua crossed over, China had already entered the forefront of many equipment technologies in the world and was able to compete for a place in the international market.
The things that happened to those rabbits in those years are really unbearable.
In this fictional world, although Lin Zhenhua's crossing has brought some changes, the scope of his influence is still limited after all. Luzhong Machine Tool Factory, which was originally supposed to be acquired by Japanese capital, did not disappear at this time, but became a leader in the domestic machine tool industry, with a certain technical strength, and no longer looked like it had no power to fight back under the encirclement and suppression of imported machine tools.
However, it is far from enough to have only one Luzhong Machine Tool Factory in a country. In order to break out of the encirclement, domestic equipment must gather the strength of the whole country and go to sea together. Lin Zhenhua looked at the door number of the Korean machine tool company on the side of the road, and secretly thought about a new plan in his heart.
Back at his home in Xunyang, Lin Zhenhua briefly reunited with his family, and then went to the group's headquarters to meet the group's executives. In fact, the family he saw was his father-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter Lin Fei. Mrs. Yang Xin has become busier than Lin Zhenhua since she concurrently served as the secretary general of the Chemical Equipment Alliance. At this time, she was preparing for the completion celebration of Jiangbei Petrochemical's 450,000-ton ethylene transformation project in Nanjing, and Lin Zhenhua could only wait until she went to participate in the celebration before she had the opportunity to meet her.
"Mr. Lin is back."
"Kobayashi has worked hard."
"Zhenhua. What's the takeaway from this trip? โ
In the small conference room of the group headquarters, the group's executives happily greeted Lin Zhenhua, who was in the dust. Lin Zhenhua shook hands with everyone one by one. [Burning Scorpion.]
High-quality updates
The meeting room was a joyful scene.
"This time, Zhang Gong and I went to Weihai to meet with President Liu of the Navy and talked about some things, some of which will have a greater impact on the development of our group, and I would like to report to you here." After the greetings, everyone sat down separately, and Lin Zhenhua said to everyone straight to the point.
"The first problem is that the Navy has asked us to develop gas turbines. According to the preliminary agreement between the two sides, the Navy will provide us with information on gas turbines in their possession. At the same time, a Russian specialist named Bryce was assigned to guide our work. In addition, several enterprises under the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will also transfer some of their manufacturing technologies to us. Generally speaking, we Hanhua Heavy Industries will take the lead in forming a gas turbine project team, and it will take about 10 years to build our first-generation gas turbine for key projects to equip the navy. โ
"Gas turbines are the crown jewel of industry. If you can take this opportunity to take down the technology of gas turbines. In the future, we will only rely on eating this item, and the output value of 1 billion yuan a year will not be a problem. Fang Yanwu, general manager of the chemical equipment company, said with emotion.
"This is indeed a significant opportunity." Xiang Zhe, general manager of the group, also nodded and praised, "With such an opportunity, we can get the relevant technology accumulated in the military industry system for many years at no cost, and this value is incredible." I am in favour of us taking on this task. โ
Dai Yubin, general manager of the refrigeration equipment company, raised his hand and said: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Xiang, we have a reluctant request. If we are engaged in gas turbines, can we also take into account the needs of our refrigeration equipment company? We are currently developing large-scale central air conditioning, according to the information we retrieved. The Japanese are already working on central air conditioning technology that uses gas turbines to drive compressors directly. We've been hesitant to keep up with this trend. Now that the group has decided to engage in the research and development of gas turbines, can the gas turbines for central air conditioning be included as a sub-project? โโฆ,
Hanhua Refrigeration Equipment Company was Jiangnan Shihua Electric Appliance Factory, and its predecessor was Jiangnan Petrochemical Machinery Factory. From petrochemical machines, to Jiangshi Electric, and then to today's Hanhua refrigeration, this company has never been separated from refrigeration technology. Although in the years of refrigerators, the factory abandoned the production technology of large-scale equipment. But since Lin Zhenhua acquired it in the name of H&H in the United States. Continuously promoting technological innovation, in addition to the traditional business of household refrigerators, the factory also has two new business directions: refrigerator compressors and large-scale commercial refrigeration equipment.
In terms of refrigerator compressors, Lin Zhenhua laid out very early, and later received technical support from Tagger in the United States. Today, Hanhua refrigerator compressor is already a well-known brand in China, accounting for nearly one-third of the domestic refrigerator compressor market share. That's it. The annual output value is more than 300 million.
Large-scale commercial refrigeration equipment is another system of products, it includes the use of large buildings of central air conditioning, large-scale cold storage used in refrigeration machinery, etc., the sales volume of this equipment is not large, but the price of each set is very high, less than a few million, more than tens of millions, if coupled with the cost of design, installation, commissioning and post-maintenance, its value is not to be underestimated. The most important thing is that the threshold for household appliances and refrigerators is very low, and the profit margin is not large. Commercial refrigeration equipment is a high value-added product, and the profit is very lucrative.
Dai Yubin was not engaged in refrigeration equipment, but since he became the general manager of the refrigeration equipment company, he has constantly recharged himself, and several times took a group of managers and technicians to foreign countries to investigate, and after he came back, he began to plan the long-term plan of the refrigeration equipment company. According to Dai Yubin's assumption, in the future refrigeration equipment company's business composition, household refrigerators will only account for a small part, and the company's main business will focus on large-scale refrigeration equipment. The group headquarters also very much agrees with this idea.
Fang Yanwu said: "The technical difficulty of gas turbines for central air conditioning is much smaller than that of marine gas turbines, and I think it is very feasible to develop them as a transitional product." In this way, on the one hand, it is possible to accumulate experience, and on the other hand, it is possible to quickly form a profitable product and recoup the R&D investment. โ
"That's a good idea." Lin Zhenhua said, "That's it, Lao Dai, you find time to talk to Zhang Gong and listen to his opinion." If possible, the Group can support you. โ
"Okay!" Dai Yubin smiled. He has always trusted Zhang Yihua's level, and Lin Zhenhua has also said before that this is a military project, and with the guidance of Russian experts, it should be no suspense to get a gas turbine on an air conditioner.
"Zhenhua, you see, the design of our steam turbine has been finalized, and the first batch of steam turbines have been put into trial operation in the transformation project of Jiangbei Petrochemical, and the response of the user is very good. Now that there are more gas turbine projects, I think, should we directly upgrade the original steam turbine division to a formal steam turbine company? Xiang Zhe said that as the general manager, he always thinks about the business aspect.
Lin Zhenhua said: "I have already thought about this matter on the road, and I have also communicated with Zhang Gong. I think it is feasible to set up a steam turbine company, but Lao Zhang is a technical person, and he can only be the chief engineer, not the general manager, so we have to select a general manager. Do you have any suitable candidates? โ
There are seven or eight suitable candidates, all of whom are young and middle-aged cadres who have worked in Hanhua for many years and have gradually come to the fore. Everyone discussed with each other for a while, and after comprehensively weighing factors such as ability, personality, and character, a young cadre named Yang Chao was selected. This person is originally from Hainan Province, and after graduating from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Huaqing University, he went to the United States to get a doctorate degree in business management. He worked in the group headquarters of Hanhua Heavy Industries for five or six years, and performed very well, and this time he was honored to assume the important task of establishing a steam turbine company.
After chatting about the gas turbine, Lin Zhenhua began to talk about the machine tool again, he said: "Regarding the machine tool, the navy has also put forward some requirements, and I have already transferred these requirements to Lao Cen and Lao Ma. โ
When Lin Zhenhua was a soldier, Cen Youjun was his platoon commander, so Lin Zhenhua called Cen Youjun "Cen Platoon Leader" for a long time. Time has passed, and now the scale of the group is getting bigger and bigger, both of them are senior executives of the group, and it seems a little inappropriate to be called the platoon commander at the meeting, so Lin Zhenhua slowly changed his name and changed his name to Cen Youjun as Lao Cen, however, Cen Youjun's name for Lin Zhenhua has not changed, and he is still called Xiaolin.
Cen Youjun held a list in his hand and said: "I have seen these materials, and the requirements for our machine tool company are not low. You see, 1600mm CNC vertical shaft composite grinder; For marine crankshaft drilling CNC machine tools with a length of 7000 mm and a maximum rotation diameter of 600 mm, the number of live tools is required to be no less than 16; 850 by 2500 mm four-head fixed beam gantry milling machine...... It's not easy. โ
Xiang Zhedao: "Lao Cen, you are right, the more demanding the product, the more we can hone our ability." Now we are facing a very large competitive pressure in the machine tool, if we can take advantage of this batch of orders from the navy, our technical level will be raised to a higher level, our initiative will be much greater. โ
Cen Youjun nodded and said: "Lao Xiang, I know this, I have discussed it with Lao Ma, no matter what, I have to concentrate on getting this batch of products out." Even if it is not for the sake of the company's profits, even if it is to support national defense construction, we have an unshirkable responsibility. (To be continued)
