Chapter 251: Robotics Business
The Frankfurt Motor Show opened in mid-September of 80, and Lin Qiangsheng did not go this time. However, Lin Qiangsheng still asked the company to send two cars to the exhibition, showing his face in front of car enthusiasts to increase brand recognition.
Engineers at the LS Automotive Research Institute in Los Angeles remodeled two cars, a Jetta with a five-speed automatic transmission, a multi-point electronic fuel injection system, and a lot of electronic equipment; The other is a deep redesign of the Golf hatchback, with the goal of creating a performance-oriented race car that can compete with talent. So it gets a high-horsepower engine, a finely tuned electronic fuel injection system and chassis.
More than 5,000 units of this high-performance car will be produced in China in order to qualify for international touring car races.
The renovation plan of the Harbin Automobile plant is nearing completion, and Comau has provided a complete set of production lines, including three engine production lines, body welding, stamping, painting, and assembly lines. The whole production line can reach an annual output of 300,000 cars, this production line is more advanced than the production novel technology ordered by Lin Qiangsheng a few years ago, it uses a lot of new technologies and new systems, so the output has been greatly improved.
Lin Qiangsheng and Ernst & Young arrived at the Harbin Automobile factory, and Fu Yulong, the director of the factory, accompanied the two to visit the workshop.
The workshop staff here is fully equipped, and Hafei is a large central enterprise, which can easily organize thousands of employees. They don't have to recruit from the society, and the number of employees is directly solved among the families of the original factory. Of course, the location of this factory is also remote, this area is a suburb of the suburbs in Bincheng, and the 731 bacteriological troops are still to the west, and the provincial and municipal governments are also beyond the reach of this company, and the corporate culture is relatively closed like an independent kingdom.
"Ernst & Young, you've seen all the production lines in this factory. Now I ask you to renovate the old production line, will it work? Lin Qiangsheng asked Ernst & Young beside him.
Ernst & Young thought about it and said honestly: "The production line uses a new software system and many hardware innovations, from the first generation of motion axes can be freely programmed to the second generation combined with sensors, which has doubled the production rate and increased the accuracy by 30%. If you want to study and understand, it will take 1 year at the earliest, and you can purchase foreign sensor parts to transform the old production equipment! ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded lightly. The technical update of foreign software systems is very fast, basically there is a small upgrade in one or two years, and a big jump will come in five or six years. At the beginning, Lin Qiangsheng purchased the production line at the technical level in the mid-70s, and now the equipment manufacturers in Europe and the United States have launched new generation products. This production line of Harbin Automobile is a new product, and the production speed and accuracy have been greatly improved!
After taking a few steps forward, Lin Qiangsheng said to Ernst & Young: "It's better to be like this, our company has recently made department adjustments. Taking this opportunity, I plan to set up a robotics division, and set up a robotics company called Ernst & Young Robotics. How about you becoming a general manager? Give you 30% of the shares, and the company will try its best to support this company in the future to make it reach the international leading level! Do you have faith? ”
When Ernst & Young heard that Lin Qiangsheng was going to set up a robot company named after him, and his body trembled twice. He really didn't expect that one day he would be able to lead a company and he still has 30% of the shares!
"Can I do it?" Ernst & Young asked with a trembling voice, and at the same time asked himself.
Lin Qiangsheng smiled, but his expression quickly became very solemn and said: "The research progress of foreign robots is very rapid, and if we don't pay attention to the research of robots, we will be widened!" As I understand it. This year, the number of industrial robots owned by several developed countries has reached 14,250 in Japan, 4,700 in the United States, 1,255 in Germany, 353 in Italy, 580 in France, 371 in the United Kingdom, 990 in Sweden, and 58 in Belgium. In total, there are 22,805 industrial robots in these countries! ”
"What? Are there really so many robots? Oh, my God! Ernst & Young is a researcher in robotics, and at this moment, he couldn't believe his ears when he heard Lin Qiangsheng tell himself that there were so many industrial robots in operation in the world. The more EY understands how robots work and how efficient and fast-paced they are, the more EY understands the importance of industrial robots to the industrial aspect. He once imagined what it would be like to replace manual production of products with robots, which was really like a torrent, and how many humans would be needed to top the last robot. He couldn't imagine it!
"I didn't expect that the Japanese, who are close at hand, already have so many industrial robots! How did they do it? Ernst & Young said softly in a voice that only he could hear.
Lin Qiangsheng said: "Make full use of the world market, buy technology and use means to specialize in a business, the strength of the Japanese is still very scary!" To be honest, we don't even have a fraction of the Japanese now, although we are not as good as the Japanese. But we still have to use our strength to catch up with all means, not as good as the Japanese, but we also don't want the Koreans to overtake them! ”
"What is a Korean?" Ernst & Young asked curiously.
"Well, South Koreans are South Koreans!" Lin Qiangsheng explained.
Ernst & Young nodded and said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Johnson & Johnson, if we work hard in China, we will have to work hard, if" Ernst & Young looked at Koma's trainers, in the process of transforming the equipment, he fully realized the gap between himself and foreigners, and the knowledge level and broadening of his vision are incomparable to him.
Looking around, Lin Qiangsheng said: "Since we want to develop robot technology, I said to find a way to use means, then we can't stick to the country, otherwise our robot technology will be difficult to catch up with developed countries in a short period of time!" ”
He looked at Ernst & Young and asked, "Ernst & Young, how is your English?" ”
Hearing Lin Qiangsheng ask this, Ernst & Young seemed to know what he was going to say, and he said with some excitement: "My English is okay!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said seriously: "Remove the 'bar', you must do it!" Since we want to develop robot technology to catch up with Europe and the United States, we can't limit ourselves to China! I mean, if the Ernst & Young Robotics division is located abroad, in Seattle, USA! Since you want to use foreign technology, you have to take root abroad! According to my estimates, in the next 20 years, our country's robot industry will not have much development, because to solve the employment problem of the population, the robot industry and national policies run counter, and there will definitely be some restrictions on development. The industrial robot production line has a large upfront investment and high maintenance cost, which will limit the development of industrial robots in our country in the future! I think that the robot division will still be based on foreign countries in the future, and strive for more foreign orders, so don't focus on domestic first! ”
Looking at Ernst & Young's thoughtful expression, Lin Qiangsheng said: "The company will send you to live in Seattle, which is a technology city that is conducive to the development of robotics companies." Sister-in-law also go, the company will solve your life problems such as food, housing and transportation, and your sister-in-law's work is also arranged by the company. ”
When he worked with these foreign engineers, he couldn't help but think about what it was like to go abroad when he saw the advanced technology and leading ideology of these foreigners. The craze for going abroad has also given rise to many people's awareness of going abroad, and many alumni of the colleges and universities he graduated from have gone abroad to study or develop overseas. He also dreamed, but he didn't expect to hear with his own ears today that Lin Qiangsheng was going to send him abroad for development, and he also stayed abroad with his wife for a long time. Ernst & Young remembers the last time I had this kind of surprise was when I was notified of my college years, and it was a kind of freshman for me, and I was in tears at the time, and today is no less than that time!
"Comrade Johnson & Johnson, is our production line as advanced as Binqi?" Fu Yulong, the director of the factory, asked Lin Qiangsheng happily.
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Binqi uses 75 years of production line technology, and your production line has been updated, and the speed of your production line in a factory workshop of the same size is twice as fast as theirs!" Such a production line has not lost the foreign level, you must strictly grasp the production process standards, the pursuit of high quality strict requirements! ”
Fu Yulong said loudly: "Of course! We are a military industrial enterprise, and we must also act in accordance with the rules of military industrial enterprises in the production of cars! ”
Lin Qiangsheng also said loudly and encouragingly: "Okay! Director Fu, I hope that you Hafei will show the strength to produce airplanes to produce cars! Don't forget that you were born in an aircraft factory, but don't fall into disgrace! ”
Fu Yulong said loudly: "Of course! You don't have to worry that I will follow him personally, which one is not serious, I will personally kick him out of the factory! ”
Lin Qiangsheng laughed and said, "Okay, that's what you said!" If you really don't work hard, I don't think you can kick him out! ”
The surrounding workers all shrank their necks when they heard the loud voices of the two, and if they didn't work seriously, they would be kicked out of the factory!
"How can you still be expelled?" Someone said angrily.
"You forgot that we are a joint venture factory, and now it's not the state that has the final say!" Someone said to sow discord.
"I'm always doing you, love to do it or not!" Fu Yulong listened to the discussion below, walked over and slapped him and scolded at the same time.
He remembered it now, just now Lin Qiangsheng called himself as the director of the factory, and Fu Yulong was still strange how he sounded faintly awkward, and his feeling was that his surname was called like the deputy factory director, he was so angry. (To be continued......)
