Chapter 35 What we want is the technology that changes the world
"Sir, I really don't understand why you are so wise to build a converter in a steel mill, have you been deceived? That's outdated technology, and all countries are replacing it with open-hearth furnaces! You're wasting! Schroeder Kohl was unceremonious to Wang Yi.
"Hmmm......"
Without waiting for Wang Yi to explain, Schroeder continued: "Before you built the steel plant, you had already sent people to do a geological survey of Anshan iron ore and Fushun coal mine, and the mineral sample inspection in the real room also gave a conclusion, so why did you buy a few useless steelmaking furnaces?" Wouldn't it be better if you had the money to buy a few more new steelmaking furnaces? β
Shen Yazhi stood behind Wang Yi, and now there was another person beside her, Tong Qianjia. However, unlike Shen Yazhi, Tong Qianjia is only an hourly worker, and she only helps Wang Yi work for two or three hours a day. Now that the two of them see Wang Yi deflated, Shen Yatou is gloating, while Tong Qianjia is more worried.
"Mr. Cole, you need to listen to my explanation."
Schroeder Cole nodded.
"First of all, my country is different from yours, we do not have a large number of civilian educational institutions here. The people's level of knowledge is low, and if they are not systematically trained by our company, they are simply not qualified for any technical labor in a modern factory, and even cause irreparable losses. To put it mildly, they are not workers at all, but a group of farmers who have put down their farming tools and are attracted by wages. β
Schroeder agrees with Wang Yi that this is not discrimination, but a fact.
"Chairman, I agree with you. But I really don't see how it has to do with buying a few different types of furnaces. β
Wang laughed and said, "Mr. Cole, because it's very simple. We are in different positions, so our positions are different. What you need to take care of is Anshan Iron and Steel, and what I'm going to create is a much larger steel group. Therefore, the technology suitable for Anshan Iron and Steel may not be suitable for all places, and Anshan Iron and Steel, as the first steelmaking plant under our Dashang and the steel fire of our group, will inevitably take on the important task of cultivating the first batch of steel talents of our group. β
"What do you mean ......"
"These unsuitable or outdated steelmaking furnaces are all for teaching!" Wang Yi gave the answer.
"Didactic?" Schroeder Cole was shocked.
"That's right! I want to establish the first steel research institute under our Dashang Group in Angang, which will be a branch of the industrial practice room, and at the same time, I will also shoulder the important task of cultivating steel talents under the group. β
"I see!" Schroeder Cole nodded.
After the two spoke again, the German got up to take his leave, and Wang Yi sent him outside the school building.
After returning to the company, Shen Yatou suddenly said, "Principal! β
Wang Yi glanced up, a little strange, and said, "What's the matter?" β
"You're not telling the Germans all the truth, are you?" Shen Yazhi said with a smile. Tong Qianjia on the side hurriedly pulled her sleeve, but after Shen Yatou became familiar with Wang Yi, this kind of problem was also common, and Wang Yi didn't think it was strange.
"What do you think?"
"I think ......?" Shen Yatou deliberately lengthened her voice, and then smiled: "You are not a good person, of course you won't tell the truth, and even if you do, you won't tell the whole story." β
Wang Yi smiled, scraped the girl's small chin very rogues, and then said extremely ambiguously: "Naughty!" β
The girl glared, and Qianjia covered her mouth and snickered beside her.
"Oh, I said Sister Shen, what should I do!? You're obviously the roundworm in my stomach right now! I think you know everything! β
"Roundworms? What kind of worm is that? The girl asked an irrelevant question.
Wang Yi also said that he was used to it, and when he thought about it, it was really difficult to make a medical explanation, because then Shen Yatou would definitely turn her face, and finally had to prevaricate: "It's just a little worm that he knows what I eat every day, and it is generally used to describe the meaning that you know me very well." β
"Is that so?" Sister Yazhi instinctively expressed skepticism.
Wang Yi changed the subject very cleverly.
"There are two main steelmaking methods used in the world now: one is open-hearth, which is used in most countries, and it is the mainstream! The other is the converter, the acid rotary blowing furnace. The biggest difference between the two is that open-hearth steelmaking takes a long time but has good quality, while converters are the opposite. β
"What do you mean...... Looking to retrofit your converter? It was Qianjia who spoke, and her voice was still gentle, but it startled Wang Yi on the outside and on the inside.
Wang Yi stood up from his seat, then walked straight to Sister Qianjia's side with his eyes, grabbed the girl's little hand, and said: "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear, Xiaoqian, I am Caichen!" β
At this time, Shen Yatou flew out and kicked Wang Yi's buttocks, and then pulled the startled Qianjia behind him, and said to Wang Yi viciously: "What kind of demon are you doing!" β
"Oops, it's been a play for a while!" Wang Yi rubbed his back and said, "Qianjia is right, I really want to transform the blowing furnace!" β
"Then why don't you sue Mr. SΓΉ Cole?"
"Is this ...... Although he was working for us big businessmen, and I believed in him as a person, he was German after all! β
"You mean Mr. Cole will leak?" Shen Yatou said in surprise.
"Leaks are not necessarily...... However, as long as he inadvertently mentions our idea of transforming the converter, his colleagues in Germany will develop the technology before us with far more advanced technology and production conditions than us, which will cause huge losses to the company! β
Shen Yatou and Qian Jia nodded at the same time.
"Sometimes, that's what you can't do!" Wang Yi was a little helpless.
Glancing at the time, Wang Yi said to the two: "Let's start working, Yazhi, you send someone to invite Mr. Tan Xiangju." β
Tan Xiangju was the tall man in his thirties who came with Shen Yatou and her brother under the leadership of Li Yuzhen. He is currently engaged in research in coal and petrochemical industry in the industrial laboratory, and is also one of the leaders of the discipline.
Tan Xiangju was very surprised by Wang Yi's summons, sat on the sofa, and said, "Mr. Wang, what are your instructions for coming down?" β
Wang Yiyi smiled, but he didn't get into the topic, and instead asked about other people's lives, and said, "Mr. Xiang Ju's life in the industrial room is still habitual?" β
"Habit...... No...... It should be said that it is very good! β
Wang Yi could see that this Tan Xiangju was the kind of person who was dedicated to learning and liked to engage in research.
"That's good, by the way, what do you think of the information I gave you?"
"Xiang Ju has benefited a lot, but unfortunately there are no conditions now, otherwise I really want to build Mr. Wang's ideas."
"That's it!"
Wang Yi filled Tan Xiangju with a cup of tea, and then said with a smile: "It's still Gao Mo!" β
"I'm used to drinking it now!"
The two laughed.
Wang Yi finally began to get to the point, saying: "That's right, our Dashang Group has won the mining rights of Fushun West open-pit coal mine and several nearby coal mines, in addition to supplying Shengjing's coal consumption, I plan to use the rest of the output to carry out coal chemical projects." β
"Is Mr. Wang going to send me over?"
Wang Yi shook his head and said, "There is already someone in charge over there!" β
"What does Mr. Wang mean ......"
"Now the scale of our big business is getting bigger and bigger, and the business in it has begun to develop in the direction of heavy industry. Whether it's steel, coal or future oil, our current equipment is completely dependent on imports! β
"That's a big problem indeed!"
"So I hope that you can take the lead and set up our own heavy industry equipment manufacturing company!"
Although there was already a faint premonition in his heart that made him throb, when Wang Yi said the news, Tan Xiangju still felt a moistness in his eyes! Because that's what he's dreamed of! A dream road to rejuvenate the country through heavy industry.
Tan Xiangju stood up suddenly, and in Wang Yi's surprised eyes, he couldn't help but fall to his knees, his eyes were full of tears, and said in a voice that was almost like a roar:
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
Wang Yixin said, how much grievance and bitterness does it have to take to make such a seven-foot man kneel down in front of him!
"Get up, get up, get up!" However, Wang Yi still hated that others knelt for him, so he pretended to be angry and said: "If you want to do this again, I will change people in the project!" β
After cleaning up his mood for a long time, Tan Xiangju finally returned to normal, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Mr. Wang, it's rude to you." β
"It should be me who said, Mr. has been wronged!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
After talking about the specific matters for a while, Wang Yi picked up two copies of the document from his desk. They were all packed in thick yellow paper bags with the word file bag written on the surface. In addition, there is only one vermilion "absolute" character stamped with a large seal.
Tan Xiangju had seen such a file bag in the industrial room, which was the top-secret file of the Dashang Group, and if the personnel who did not reach the authority read the information inside, there were basically only two ends: one was to be locked up in a place near the edge of the world, such as the depths of an abandoned mine. And then there's the inexplicable disappearance from the world.
Tan Xiangju has also heard of this, but he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, but he still understands the confidentiality regulations.
"These two kinds of equipment are the main tasks of Dashang Heavy Industry after the construction of the factory, the first is the development of alkaline rotary blowing furnace, and the second is the development of air compressor!"
The biggest difference between alkaline rotary blowing furnace and acid rotary blowing furnace is that it can dephosphorize! The air compressor is an essential machine for industrial oxygen production, and it can also produce nitrogen and rare gases. When the industrial oxygen production technology is successful, the efficiency of steelmaking will be greatly improved when the rotary blowing furnace is blown from air to oxygen, which is the so-called oxygen blowing converter.
"Mr. Xiang Ju, how long do you think it will take to develop two pieces of equipment?"
Because the technical parameters are very comprehensive, and even the industrial techniques are ready-made, fundamentally speaking, there is not too much difficulty. Tan Xiangju thought for a while and said, "After the new factory is established, it still needs to be debugged and run-in, a year and a half!" Among them, the development of alkaline rotary blowing furnace should be faster, and the air compressor is more difficult. β
"Good! I'll give you two years! β
This is an agreement between the two.
