Huang Ligong got into the taxi and began to check the air ticket, but he was able to leave relatively late, and there was still a lot of time. Normally, he would go to the airport to find a quiet place and wait for a series of phone calls to get on the plane. This time, the excitement is still in my heart, and I really want to find a living person to talk to face-to-face. He groaned and took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Ziqiang's number. There are few people to find in Shanghai, and he doesn't dare to go to Xu Qianqian at this moment.

Wang Ziqiang was in the company, and he was very happy to let him go over and talk to the office.

"You're one step ahead!"

"Ah, how do you say?"

"You're going to push the reducer too?" The smile on Wang Ziqiang's face was meaningful.

It turned out that it was about receiving Li Yi's team. "To be an industrial robot, the reducer can't be avoided." Huang Ligong thought to himself, this circle is actually not big, there is a wind and grass, and everyone will soon know it. He felt more and more that he had taken the initiative to meet Xu Shaoyang.

"It's our Chinese companies that can't hide." Wang Ziqiang motioned for him to sit down and drink tea, "I'm very pleased, you are willing to work the thankless task of the reducer, this way is not alone, Huapu finally has a fellow practitioner." ”

"Mr. Wang is also making a reducer?" Huang Ligong listened to the meaning of his words, and it seemed that Huapu was playing some big battle.

"We are planning to do something for the country and the industry...... Wang Ziqiang saw Huang Ligong's curious look and smiled lightly, "This is the most important thing for Huapu in recent years, and it can also be said to be my crazy dream. If it happens, I'll be the first to tell you. ”

"Good! Looking forward to Mr. Wang's good news. ”

"I'm not mistaken, it's the material for industry. We have too many companies, we like to make easy money, and we are in a hurry to play finance and make a lot of money, and we can't settle down to do R&D. Two days ago, I just went to a company to talk about special steel research and development, and they gave up for one reason, the research and development period is too long, and it will take 5 or 6 years to see results. ”

"I can't blame everyone......" Huang Ligong said, "To be honest, I am often impetuous. Look at our surroundings, especially Internet entrepreneurs, who can finance tens of millions of dollars at every turn, and the company doesn't know how to make a profit, so it goes public in a blink of an eye and gets rich overnight. Truth be told, it's fake not to be impressed. Sometimes I really wonder, is this cause really worth it for? ”

"Aren't you still sitting here? Don't you still want to start the reducer project? ”

"A group of people around you follow you, and the best times are tied together, I'm sorry for them if you don't stick to it."

"People do things by inner firmness. If you are not firm in your heart, no amount of external responsibility will be in vain. Wang Ziqiang raised the teaglass, "Don't be polite, I won't mistake you." He touched the cup with Huang Ligong and said, "Don't be blinded by those bubbles, China has never lacked backbones, and there have always been colleagues who have the courage to undertake missions and dare to move forward." ”

"Hmm!" Huang Ligong nodded seriously.

"A Japanese company has a monopoly on carbon fiber technology, more than 70%, and the price is extremely high, and it still doesn't sell it to us." Wang Ziqiang stood up and raised his voice, "Japan, the United States and Europe have a long-term monopoly on carbon fiber technology. But are we going to give in like that? No, our will never 'admit defeat'! We finally got it, and the price of carbon fiber dropped by two-thirds. Including overcoming ultra-high-strength and high-modulus carbon fiber, especially the T-1000 carbon fiber production line, the deformation resistance of the finished product is twice as strong as that of Japan, and the international carbon fiber price immediately plummeted, from 20,000 yuan per kilogram to less than 10,000 yuan per kilogram. ”

Huang Ligong interjected, "I heard that Huawei has conquered the 96-line automotive lidar and directly hit the vehicle lidar with a base price of more than 3,000 US dollars to 200 US dollars. ”

"We once imported a set of equipment from Japan, and there were some problems in the middle, and the Japanese side sent engineers over for more than 200,000 yuan, and our engineers were not allowed to watch the maintenance process - they repaired it in half an hour. At that time, we were very depressed, and we had to tackle the problems ourselves, but we conquered them later, and we were no longer held back by the Japanese. ”

They come and go, listing the exciting things that have always inspired the people......

"Don't be presumptuous, China can build satellites and enter space, which shows that as long as you make up your mind, there is nothing that the Chinese cannot do." Wang Ziqiang seemed to return to the battlefield and spoke to a group of recruits, "We can do more and bigger things now, thanks to the silent dedication and solid contributions of our predecessors." In the same way, our current efforts will also enable Chinese companies in the future to do greater things and do things that Europe, the United States and Japan cannot do! ”

Huang Ligong also stood up and listened solemnly.

"There are still too many things to overcome, and there are still too many things that we are still being exploited by developed countries. Not to mention the materials, let's just say that the chemical instruments and valves are basically imported, once there is a failure, the loss is hundreds or even thousands of valves. We can only rely on imports for many high-precision instruments, and the maintenance fee and overtime pay of other engineers are thousands of dollars an hour at every turn. Wang Ziqiang's voice turned low, but Huang Ligong could hear the disbelief inside, and he was about to move when he heard it. Let me tell you the story of the railway. ”

On April 1, 1997, China's first railway speed was accelerated, and the average speed of passenger car travel in the country increased from 48 kilometers per hour to 55 kilometers per hour; In 1998, the second major speed increase, the third time in 2000, the fourth big speed increase in 2001, after four major railway speed increases, it was only increased to 62 kilometers per hour. What level is this? In the 19th century, railways in Britain reached speeds of 58 kilometers per hour. As a defeated country in World War II, the Shinkansen reached a speed of 271 kilometers per hour in 1964, with a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour. What a hundred years of difference!

In 2003, China decided to build a large-scale high-speed railway. At that time, the advanced high-speed rail technology was in the hands of foreign companies, such as Siemens, Bombardier, Alstom and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Negotiate cooperation with these giants, China has only one bargaining chip, a vast territory, a huge market space, and trillions of potential investments. At that time, China's strategy was to throw out whoever cooperates with China may get the key to the future of the high-speed rail industry. The whole negotiation was like walking a tightrope. The end result of the negotiations is to force these large companies to make compromises and sell key core technologies.

Huang Ligong is no stranger to this story, and has found various materials and read it many times. "This has become a classic case, and it has been included in the textbooks of Stanford University in the United States."

"The eye of the story is in the back. Later, the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity high-speed railway, bidding, and negotiation with Siemens. Siemens is powerful and has a lot of core technologies. One of them, a 27.5 thousand volt vacuum circuit breaker, can do 100,000 times without failure - this is amazing. We really want to win this core technology, no matter how high the price is, the negotiators have thought of various methods, which can be said to be coercion and inducement, and Siemens refuses to sell it. It's urgent, and it really can't be sold, this is a technology that the Germans spent more than 40 years to master, and applied for 220 patents around the world. This is Germany's national interest, which can only be transferred with Chancellor Merkel's signature. In the end, we still didn't win the technology. ”

Wang Ziqiang walked to the window and stared at the traffic outside. "This kind of technology, for Siemens, is not to press the bottom of the box, but to pack a box. Germany, Japan, the United States, many companies have their own unique skills. ”

Huang Ligong followed to the window and stood beside him.

"We still have a long way to go." Wang Ziqiang said, "The current situation of industrial robots is the same as that of high-speed rail. The core technology and core components are in the hands of others, but China is the world's largest demand market for industrial robots. ”

"Yes. Thanks to our efforts, the market share of the four major families has continued to decline in the past two years, but I looked at the statistics a while ago, and the import volume has been rising. It shows that the market demand is expanding dramatically. ”

"This is a great historical opportunity. We are rapidly leapfrogging and catching up with the window period, and this window period will not be too long. ”

Huang Ligong felt that his blood was flowing, but when he thought of the actual situation, he couldn't help but show a wry smile. "However, high-speed rail is a national project after all, and the whole country has coordinated and negotiated to lay the foundation for development in one fell swoop. You see our industry, although the share of the four major families has been reduced somewhat, but there are only a few with stable quality and a reputation and brand, and the remaining more than 1,000 robot companies are either assembled or second-hand. ”

"Therefore, it is all the more necessary for someone to take the initiative to undertake the historical mission and unite the scattered forces." Wang Ziqiang said, his tone was flat, but Huang Ligong heard a resolute sense of responsibility in Wang Ziqiang's tone, and a word suddenly appeared in his mind, standing up to the sky. Wang Ziqiang chose a path that he had never thought of, and it may be difficult for him to set foot in the future, after all, he is in a different position and has different temperaments, but it does not prevent him from respecting this man.

"You've been doing a good job lately, and I can tell you're excited, even ...... Proud. The poor boy finally made a name for himself, but he raised his eyebrows in his hometown. Wang Ziqiang's words sounded sarcastic, but his tone was not sarcastic, "I am very familiar with this excitement, and this is what I looked like when I made a meritorious service as a recruit for the first time." I watched the recruits who came after, killing two enemies under artillery fire, and coming back alive as they did the same. But you know, the higher you go, the wider the world becomes, and the greater the challenge. has achieved the results of the previous level, and is still complacent with his eyes on the original small world, then he will always be in that small world. Huang Ligong's face was hot, like a recruit playing tricks in the training camp, he turned around proudly, waiting for the instructor's approval, and suddenly found that he was not wearing clothes. was cramped, and heard Wang Zi say, "I hope you can join, and you are welcome to join the ranks of veterans." In the hot flush of his face, an eager impulse surged - the naked recruits saw the instructor silently demonstrating a solid hand, and then turned to leave, and his heart was filled with shame and excitement.

"We are all at a sharp turning point in the industrial history of a great power. There has never been such a severe and complex competitive situation, and there have never been so many opportunities and blanks. Wang Ziqiang turned to Huang Ligong, reached out and pressed his shoulder, staring into his eyes, "Be ruthless, be fast!" Don't just run, you have to jump off a cliff as fast as you can. Without the heart of transcendence, without the determination to go through others for five years and thirty years, it can only be a rout in this era. ”
