"Oh? Is it? Did Mr. Li still participate in that project back then? ”

Following behind this old man and walking inside, Li Yifan couldn't help but ask.

"But no, how many experts and factories across the country were gearing up for that project? At that time, I was still the director of this factory, all year round but did not go to the capital, and Puhai to attend the meeting, in order to solve the smelting problem of some special metal materials, the state also approved several enterprises across the country a fund, from abroad to buy a number of special metal smelting equipment. In order to prepare for this project, I also went to Germany several times and bought a lot of machinery and equipment, but unfortunately these machinery and equipment were not used later, and the project was yellow. Later, I retired, these equipment, because of the particularity, did not use, after all, the use of such equipment to smelt the product, many domestic enterprises can not use, export we have no advantage, and later, ...... Ay...... Don't talk about it......"

When the old man Li Benchu first talked about the deeds of those previous years, he still had such a spirit, but when he later said that the factory was gradually declining, he could only breathe a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually changed from the initial excitement to loneliness.

Li Yifan could still understand his mood, and the group didn't say much after that, and directly went to a workshop behind the smelting workshop, and then saw several large machines placed in the center of the workshop.

These machines are all preserved in an earthen way, and the outside is covered with thick straw to prevent moisture, and the smell of engine oil can be smelled from far away in the machinery inside.

"This is when I wasted my strength. A second-hand intermediate frequency vacuum furnace imported from Krupp, Germany. Don't look at him as second-hand. But it's very well maintained, and it's ...... to use This is the low-frequency vacuum furnace I imported from Nippon Steel in Japan, and it is also a second-hand ......"

There are three or four very well-maintained vacuum furnaces in front, all of which are specially prepared for the production of various special metals, and when the old man Li Benchu introduced these vacuum furnace equipment, he also came to the spirit, and no longer had the same attitude as before, when explaining the production capacity and use of these equipment. is even more energetic, as if talking about his own child.

"These equipment, as far as the current domestic situation is concerned, even now it is not lagging behind, and the current domestic special metal smelting situation can be said to be a mess. At present, China's special metals are basically imported, and China's own special metal smelting capacity is almost zero, and the state does not attach importance to this aspect. After all, if you are engaged in research and development. This requires a lot of investment and is too costly. At present, most domestic enterprises are not willing to increase investment in this area, after all, the price of imported special steel is not expensive, and China's special metal profiles, now the domestic market needs to be two or three million tons per year, if the year is haode, that is, about four million tons, the number is really not large, so everyone is not willing to do this. Especially those companies in Anshan Iron and Steel and Baosteel, but in my opinion, these companies are really short-sighted, they just see that the share of this market is too small, but they don't pay attention to the high profits in this market. The Japanese are able to earn several times the output value of the crude steel they produce every year just by selling you those special steels......"

The old man's tone was very calm when he first introduced it, but after he said it, he became a little excited, and even had a bit of hatred for iron and steel.

And Li Yifan was also shocked by the knowledge of this old man, the old man retired in the mid-nineties, and now it seems that his body is still very tough, but how can he be in his sixties at this age, but people still speak clearly, and the most important thing is that people have reached this age, but they have been paying attention to the domestic special metal market.

And also understand quite detailed, it is true that the domestic shipbuilding industry, and the real estate industry, as well as the tide of the automobile industry have not exploded in recent years, the domestic demand for special metal steel is indeed not very large.

But when a few years later, China's economic development has entered the fast lane, the real estate tide, the shipbuilding frenzy, and the frenzy of the automobile industry arrive, people will suddenly find that China's special metal smelting industry is so bad?

Needless to say, just a moisture-proof and rust-proof galvanized steel plate for automobiles, we are more than 108,000 miles away from others, not to mention compared with Japan's jishu, that is, compared with South Korea's steel plate, we can't compare.

Other transmission bearings for automobiles, as well as special steel used in special cage body structures, not to mention, we almost none of them can produce by ourselves.

So much so that later, when others played with the aircraft carrier for decades, and we secretly got a tattered one in China, I don't know how many hands of goods came back to refit ourselves, only to find out that we couldn't even get the special steel of the aviation deck, and Zuihou had to spend a lot of money to get the jishu from Russia......

When I think of all those things, it really makes people feel speechless and worried.

"Master Li, you are so old, and you are still concerned about the domestic special metal smelting market?"

Li Yifan's heart moved, and he had some ideas.

"Hey! I've been doing it all my life, and I have feelings for this thing, and I can't just say that I can let it go. ”

When the old man mentioned this, he sighed for a long time.

"Hehe, old man, I took over this factory, in fact, it is to revitalize our special metal smelting industry in Huaguo, I plan to introduce a batch of equipment from abroad, as well as update our production jishu, specializing in special metal profiles for construction, as well as special metals for shipbuilding and automobiles, if you are interested, how about coming to our factory as a senior consultant?"

Li Yifan smiled and said to Li Benchu, this Li Benchu can see that he still has some ability, but let him be the director of this factory directly, Li Yifan is still a little uneasy, and he has to investigate for a while.

However, such a person who has experienced such an era, when he does his work, he will definitely be quite serious, and the most lacking thing in modern Chinese industrial enterprises is the word serious, so Li Yifan wants to let this older generation of engineers come to his own enterprise to exert his residual heat.

And when Li Benchu heard Li Yifan's invitation, he was a little confused at first, he didn't expect that the owner of the new factory would value himself so much, and invite himself, an old man, to come back to the factory as a senior consultant, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.

"Mr. Xiao Li, do you really plan to come to the company that is engaged in this special metal smelting? You know, the investment of such a company is quite large. ”

"Haha, you can rest assured, Mr. Li, we have been prepared for this, we have introduced a lot of jishu patents from abroad, such as those girder steel used in the construction of high-rise buildings, angle steel, etc., these building profiles of jishu, we now have. There are also special steels for bearings used in automobiles and ships, mainly using special metal smelting jishu, intermediate frequency calcination, and high-frequency calcination, as well as Zuihou's static heat treatment method jishu, or something we have now, otherwise do you think we really don't care about anything and come to this enterprise? ”

"Really? That's great, but it's probably not small to invest in such a business, right? ”

Lao Li was really happy when he heard Li Yifan say this, and indeed if Li Yifan really had these jishu, then this company would definitely have a head.

It doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, the happiest thing for Lao Li is that he can finally return to his favorite special metal smelting industry, although he has retired over the years, but the original old business has not been thrown away, has been paying attention to the development of the domestic and international special metal smelting industry, every time he sees the gap between the domestic and international countries, he himself is also a long sigh, full of emotion.

But no one in China is willing to engage in this industry, which also makes him feel worried, and now there are people who are willing to do it, and there are jishu reserves, and he has to be invited to be a consultant, how can this old man be unhappy?

didn't think much about it at all, so he agreed, and then pulled Li Yifan and began to walk around the factory, quietly playing with caution, wanting to see what Li Yifan planned to do.

"Mr. Li ......"

"Huh! You're older than me, don't call me Mr. Li, call me Xiao Li......"

"Okay, Xiao Li, don't look at our factory, now it's full of wild grass, but the foundation is still there, at the beginning, it was all those old Soviet experts, who came to help lay the foundation, as long as these wild weeds are removed, you can see our incoming workshop, as well as the production workshop, and the basic orientation of the storage workshop, it is very reasonable, as long as you make some changes slightly, you see here, you can place our medium frequency vacuum induction furnace, you can put low frequency vacuum induction furnace over there, Like the girders and angles you mentioned before, you can use these equipment to produce them, but if you want to produce bearings for cars or ships, I'm afraid these equipment is not enough......"

Lao Li's temptation, Li Yifan didn't demolish him, just smiled slightly, and then said.

"Well, I have asked people to introduce the most popular vacuum induction furnace equipment from abroad, and after that, I will invite someone to come over, and I will design a few factories in Helping Dreams, and I also plan to carry out powder metallurgy products, and in the plant over there, I plan to enter a few powder metallurgy equipment......"

Lao Li stopped talking, because he was speechless at this time, and his face had become a chrysanthemum...... (To be continued......)
