Chapter 471: Project 401

Lin Qiangsheng stood up and said to Professor Li: "Please inform Professor Wu, just say that the large petrochemical project welcomes him to join, and we have hired him as the company's technical consultant." If Professor Li is interested in participating, we will also hire you, who is also a technical consultant, and the salary is good! ”

Li Minhua smiled and said, "This is good, I have a share with Lao Wu!" I will definitely tell him, in fact, even if I don't tell him, Lao Wu will come to the door by himself when the petrochemical project starts! ”

Lin Qiangsheng and Zhu Rong said goodbye to Li Minhua together and left her contact information, and they stayed at the Friendship Hotel.

Next, the two went to the first machine department, Lin Qiangsheng proposed to Zhu Rong, the leader of the large petrochemical project, the lack of a soul-level person in the field of mechanical engineering, he intends to hire the famous domestic mechanical engineer Shen Hong out of the mountain, as the chief engineer of the entire project construction!

Shen Hong, born in 1906, is one of the outstanding leaders of China's machinery industry, and organized the compilation of China's first large-scale reference books of "Mechanical Engineering Manual" and "Electrical Engineering Manual", which has made important contributions to the development of China's machinery industry.

Shen Hong is a self-taught role model and an example of self-reliance and hard work. He dropped out of school due to illness as a teenager and taught himself all the textbooks of the higher primary school. He started as an apprentice, founded a small hardware factory in SH Hai in 1931, and saw that the country and the nation were in danger for 38 years, he went to Yan'an to preside over the production of ordnance. After the liberation, Shen Hong led many of the country's heavy industry construction work and presided over the famous "Nine Equipment" of the Republic.

"Nine major equipment" does not refer to nine large equipment, but nine sets of large-scale complete sets of equipment, including more than 1,400 sets of 840 kinds of complex and precise large-scale machinery and equipment with a total weight of 45,000 tons.

This major campaign involved hundreds of factories in 10 ministries and commissions of the central government, more than 1,000 engineers and technicians and more than 10,000 workers, and conducted more than 100 important experimental studies!

And the rarest thing is. It was originally planned that the development of nine major equipment from 1961 would be completed in 1966~1967, but the equipment was being delivered. Ten years of turmoil in the tide came.

Shen Hong led the research team with the greatest perseverance, organized the participating ministries and commissions and many factories to overcome many difficulties, insisted on completing the development tasks of all the "nine major equipment" in 69 years, and contributed great strength to the industrial construction of the motherland!

Of course, there are many major projects presided over by Shen Hong, many of which are key projects related to the lifeblood of the country, and he is full of enthusiasm and innovative spirit. Solidarity of all parties and a satisfactory solution was given.

This is the soul of industrial construction, and Lin Qiangsheng's large petrochemical project needs such an engineering master to preside over the overall situation!

And now Shen Hong is in a state of idleness, because in recent years, China has been engaged in large-scale introduction of projects, even if this veteran comrade who has made great contributions to China's industrial cause has tried his best to save some projects, he can't stop the will of the top and the decision-making of local leaders!

Lin Qiangsheng feels that there is no more suitable general worker than Shen Hong, this old-timer can not only preside over the overall situation, he also has a good connection with many domestic enterprises and research units, and he himself has more experience in the management of large projects and large projects!

Although now the old academician is 78 years old. It is true that he is a little old, but Lin Qiangsheng insists on Shen Hong to preside over the large petrochemical project, and he is not at ease with anyone coming.

Although the old comrade was old, he was still full of enthusiasm for the industrial construction of the motherland, and when he heard that a foreign businessman wanted to invite him to preside over the construction of a large industry, he immediately happily went down to the first machine department accompanied by his disciples.

In the 60s, China was able to manufacture 30,000 tons of die forging hydraulic presses, 12,500 tons of horizontal extrusion hydraulic presses, but it was not until 2007 that it was able to manufacture more than 40,000 tons of large die forging presses, which is a national weapon to help large aircraft manufacturing, and many super machines that manufacture high-end equipment are capable of manufacturing after 2000.

It is conceivable that in the more than 20 years since the beginning of '79, China has not given up a lot of its ability to develop large-scale industrial equipment on its own, but has persevered. Then some of China's key equipment and high-tech products will not be put on the research agenda again until after 2010!

At the beginning of '79, the former departments that could manufacture large-scale equipment were abandoned, researchers were lost, and the workers and technicians involved in the construction were old! We ourselves discarded some important things, some housekeeping skills. Let some areas have been monopolized by foreign products! And those related to the lifeblood of the country, let people look forward to and lose the country's heavy weapons, ups and downs, ups and downs, fate has also been affecting people's nerves, why the research projects in developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan are so smooth, but we go so hard, what is this for!

Lin Qiangsheng has some answers but they are not comprehensive, he doesn't want these sad pasts, he can only do a good job in the present!

He gave the old expert a high-standard salary and treatment. At work, he has specially arranged people to be responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the elderly, giving them meticulous care, and the nannies have hired two full-time staff for them. These people are all excellent graduates of Bencheng Flying Technical School, and they are specially transferred from Bencheng.

The old man wanted to refuse at first, feeling that the treatment given to him was too high. But Lin Qiangsheng explained that this is the company's standard for older comrades, and he is not the only one, and several resignations were blocked by Lin Qiangsheng, and Shen Hong had no choice.

Not only that, according to Lin Qiangsheng's intentions, he also conducted a comprehensive examination of the physical health of this Shen Hong's senior, and imported supplements from abroad to restore his health as much as possible.

The company has a strict physical examination system and medical security for every scientist and scientific research personnel, including all employees, and tries to keep employees healthy as much as possible to ensure that the company reduces unnecessary losses and the greatest respect for employees, and the actual effect is very good.

Many employees with hidden diseases have been treated in time, including scientific research workers and front-line technical experts in some important positions, which not only reduces economic and technical losses for the company, but also improves the loyalty of employees to Dongxing Group!

Shen Hong's predecessors also introduced many mechanical experts, scholars and disciples to Lin Qiangsheng, and the old professor insisted with enthusiasm and petrochemical energy experts from the United States to inspect some important petrochemical bases and refineries in China. When American experts gave a comprehensive evaluation of the domestic petrochemical industry capacity, Shen Hong's predecessors also put forward some more feasible equipment solutions, which saved procurement costs and preparation for Dongxing Company.

This shows how great an expert who understands China's industrial capacity is to promote the entire petrochemical project!

Lin Qiangsheng thanked Shen Hong's predecessors at the same time, but he didn't know that Professor Shen Hong's heart was also thanking him, this project has been regarded by the old people as a new hope for the development of the domestic machinery industry!

In recent years, many important projects in China have made way for economic development, and the research and development of some key equipment has been interrupted by the introduction of projects. Although Shen Hong wrote letters to national leaders to clarify the importance and sustainability of some of these key equipment. However, due to the huge investment in these projects, the long research and development time, and the uncertainty of whether the technology is advanced or successful, the leaders and some experts also believe that the country lacks the necessary technology and means, and it is better to introduce them simply, quickly and effectively, and many important projects have been discontinued.

Shen Hong is very sad about this situation, in his opinion, giving up self-reliance and blindly introducing the practice is tantamount to destroying the research and development soil of China's major equipment and key technologies, and it is an act of self-destruction of the Great Wall!

For this reason, in the past few years of leisure, he presided over the establishment of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, more or less want to let China's machinery industry continue, the older generation is old but the experience is still there, or can bring a belt of young people, adhere to let China's machinery industry research not be broken!

Therefore, to be able to participate in the construction of this large petrochemical project, the old man is very happy, he was also encouraged, as long as the use of this opportunity then China's machinery industry will not be washed away by foreign products, this project can make China's mechanical engineering research to a higher level!

This large petrochemical project was also approved by the central government and named "401 Project". Because Lin Qiangsheng announced on April 1 that he would invest $10 billion in China to build a large-scale petrochemical base project, this date also has special significance! (To be continued.) )
