Chapter 559 Dongfanghong Agricultural Machinery Factory
"Hahaha...... Brother He, we will be a partner in a pot in the future, I am a big man who is not very literate, and nothing else can help you, the technical aspect is completely dependent on you, I just have to pay for it! Zhao Qishan warmly held He Zuguang's hand and smiled very happily.
For a local tyrant like him, what can be solved with money is not a problem.
He Zuguang is also in high spirits, and with sufficient R&D financial support, he is very confident to show his strength; "Please rest assured that Chairman Zhao has been immersed in the field of agricultural science and technology for many years, and knows a lot about the scientific and technological progress in the world, and the development prospects of crawler tractors in European and American farms are broad, and there are no insurmountable technical difficulties, as long as there is sufficient investment in research and development, I believe that it will soon bear fruit."
"Okay, I'm not confident in this project, I'm confident in you as a person." Zhao Qishan smiled very cheerfully and said to the people around him; "Brother He is a truly knowledgeable expert, and he is first-class serious about people and things, and I still can't be wrong when I look at people for so many years, I think this matter is reliable."
"He is ashamed, thank you Chairman Zhao for your reputation."
"Where...... I believe in my own vision. "Zhao Qishan has the vigor of a farmer entrepreneur, and he is bold enough.
This makes the room feel warm and harmonious, and enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.
"Brother He, if I say something you don't like to hear, aren't you painting us a big pie?" Ma Weimin stepped forward at this time, with an expression on his face that I didn't understand, which was equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on his head.
To be honest, he knows nine out of ten about Rausch crawler tractors ~ none of them.
Ma Weimin Investment is completely looking at Zhao Qishan's face, believing in Zhao Qishan's vision, in this group of squires in Qingdao Town, the three words "Zhao Qishan" are synonymous with reliability.
Old Mike, Mai Guangtian, Hudson, these private ranch owners did not come, and they still invested a piece of money, which is wordless trust.
"Rest assured, Director Ma, I will not joke with my career prospects and reputation." The smile on He Zuguang's face flattened, and he explained with a serious expression;
"In the scientific and technological world, the prestige of every technical expert is accumulated bit by bit of scientific and technological achievements, and there is no room for falsification.
For the "crawler tractor project", I have carefully calculated that the probability of successful research and development is more than ninety percent.
Why is there such a big deal of certainty?
Because the 2.0-litre diesel engine we used throughout the project is a proven powertrain, the two-speed transmission, which is widely used in heavy-duty tractors and automobiles, is also a proven piece of equipment, which together form a reliable power and speed control system.
On this basis
The water tank, reversing mirror, shock absorption and mechanical lubrication technology, which are widely used in heavy-duty four-wheel tractors, can be transplanted to new projects without gaps, which greatly reduces the difficulty of our research and development.
This is like a horse, it already has the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and all it needs is to install strong four hooves to run on the vast land.
Our main research and development direction is based on the crawler mechanical walking system, on this aspect of the technical ideas, there are hundreds of in the world, what we have to do is to screen out a feasible few solutions and in practice to verify, improve and perfect, and make the best possible mechanical design, so that it has enough economy, durability and popularization.
I firmly believe that a good product must also be the most cost-effective product. ”
"Well, when you explain that, I almost understand. Brother He, don't blame me for being too impulsive, I just can't hide things in my heart, so I can say what I have. Ma Weimin enthusiastically grabbed He Zuguang's hand and shook it, and continued; If you don't have enough money, just ask, anyway, how much you are affected, let's wait for your good news. That's right...... I know that the Tieniu heavy-duty four-wheel tractor is 3.5 liters, so why don't we make a big one and get a 2.0-liter crawler tractor? Isn't it a little stingy? ”
I don't understand this, right? It's a complete personal essence!
He Zuguang was full of slander in his heart, but as an important investor, he had to maneuver, so he could only explain patiently;
"For Dongfanghong Agricultural Machinery Company, the crawler tractor project is a life-critical major project that cannot be missed.
Chengze took the lead in seizing the world's blank market, the winner takes all, and the loser loses the bottoms.
Out of prudence, I chose the 2.0-liter diesel engine as the main driving force to take the lead in the development of the market for small track-type tractors, which is less technically difficult and has a higher certainty of success.
This is because the crawler tractor is in hard contact with the ground and lacks sufficient cushioning, which puts forward high requirements for mechanical strength and running mechanism, which is not as simple as imagined.
There is a professional term called "mechanical fatigue", which is related to the service life, reliability and application market of the whole machinery, which requires us to leave enough "redundancy" when designing the mechanical traveling mechanism of the crawler tractor.
"Overabundance" is also an academic name, to explain it simply, it is a middle-aged man who can pick up a burden of 100 pounds to sell vegetables in the city, but such heavy physical work, it will be unbearable to do it for five or six years.
In order to make him not so tired, then only 20 catties of burden are picked up in the design, this middle-aged man can pick a lifetime, and his body will not collapse early, which is "redundancy".
Considering the risk of project development, I think it is appropriate to take the lead in taking the 2.0-liter crawler tractor as the target of tackling key problems.
No matter how small the power is, the power is too weak, it is not as good as a horse-drawn lawn mower, it is not much cheaper from the price factor, the cost performance is not high, and the application range is very limited.
No matter how big it is, the difficulty of research and development will rise sharply, and due to mechanical fatigue and material reasons, some problems that are not problems may become insurmountable obstacles, which I deeply understand. ”
Speaking of which
He Zuguang sighed deeply, and said with regret on his face; "I have participated in the research and development project of Professor Karls, a senior expert at New York University in the United States, and I know that the level of steel alloy technology in the world today is far behind the design indicators of engineers.
A lot of very good ideas can only stay on the drawings.
This is an insurmountable flaw that can only wait for the further development of the material industry.
This time may be two or three years, or ten or eight years or even longer, and no one knows when there will be a technological breakthrough in steel alloy materials, so we can't take such a risk.
For example, the power take-off shaft bears the huge torque of the entire crawler tractor load, not only to have enough strength, but also to have enough toughness, must use the forging artillery grade cutting-edge steel alloy forging technology, in order to ensure long-term use without breaking.
More diesel power means more dead weight, and the torque and load required to be doubled, as a start-up project, there is no need to take such a big technical risk, because we can't afford to gamble. ”
Let's be honest
He Zuguang said so much, Ma Weimin basically didn't understand, he understood the last sentence "can't afford to gamble", and it makes sense to think about it seriously.
He also invested more than 10,000 pounds in this project, and no one's money came from the wind, so much money is enough for his own quarry to work hard for more than half a year, isn't it good to go a little steady?
We don't want to be rich and expensive in this project, at least we can get the capital back.
"I almost understand, thank you Brother He for explaining to me, I'll be the east at night, no matter what, I want to give you two more glasses of wine." Ma Weimin opened his mouth and smiled, turned his head to Zhao Qishan and said; "Brother Qishan, you ask this expert to be reliable, brother admires. The only thing I wonder about is that this man who sells vegetables is stupid? If you give it to me, go to the city to sell vegetables or pick up 100 catties of burden, make money to buy a flatbed truck, that thing drags 1000 catties like play, wouldn't it make more money? ”
"Don't be foolish to me, is that what Expert He meant?" Zhao Qishan was angry and funny, stepped forward and pushed it and said; "Since you are rushing to do the east, let's arrange it, don't ask all the questions here, we don't understand the technical matters, let the experts take the idea, just let go of your hands and feet to do it, what is that...... Risks are shared, and benefits are equalized. ”
He Zuguang replied with a smile; "yes, that's what it means."
"Hahaha...... I'm hungry, so find a hotel to celebrate, don't get drunk and go home. Zhao Qishan made a decision with a wave of his hand.
He Zuguang glanced at him deeply, nodded and said with a smile; "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
He has a very good impression of Zhao Qishan, this is an investor who knows how to let go, atmospheric, courageous, and righteous, which is really commendable.
I am very fortunate to have such a partner, and he has also contacted a lot of investors before this, and even some who are willing to pay more R&D funds, but they can't talk about it for one reason or another.
The most important ...... It is the autonomy of scientific research.
He Zuguang regards the crawler tractor project as his own child, and he does not want a layman to point fingers at scientific research projects, which is the biggest contradiction in cooperation.
The group of people left the hotel and took a horse-drawn carriage to the famous "Spring River Never Sleeps" restaurant in Dachuan Town, which is a green house where you can eat, drink and have fun, and Cantonese cuisine is very authentic.
Sit in the carriage
He Zuguang instructed Bian Chunsong, the young assistant beside him; "Chunsong, since the matter is decided, we will do it quickly, there are still thousands of things to do, I will submit my resignation in the next two days, and I will go all out to tackle scientific and technological research on this side in the future."
"Oh...... Got it, teacher. Bian Chunsong hesitated, but agreed.
It is not easy to enter a large company like General Machinery Company, and it is somewhat reluctant to resign.
But since the teacher has spoken, Bian Chunsong can only respond.
He Zuguang didn't notice these details and continued to command; "After completing the resignation procedures, we have to rent a space here for research and development, and the legal documents for the registration of relevant companies should be completed as soon as possible, there are too many things in hand, backed by the strong Hongshan Shipyard, there are too many conveniences in research and development, and at night for dinner, you have to have a relationship with the people in the shipyard, and a few more glasses of wine, and it will be convenient to do anything in the future."
"Oh, don't worry, teacher, I'll take care of it."
"For a scientific researcher, the opportunity for major scientific research projects is hard to come by, and you must cherish it, I know that you are a loyal and honest young man, and you have just settled down to learn more things in recent years, by the way, what about your classmates?"
"I told them, but they still want to stay in a big company and don't want to come down and work with this project."
"You...... Stupid and stupid, this little thing can't be done. He Zuguang criticized with an unhappy face, and sat there reluctant to speak.
Bian Chunsong turned his head awkwardly and looked out through the narrow window of the carriage, feeling mixed feelings.
He didn't know if this step was right or wrong?
