Chapter 278: Visiting the Material Factory
Of course, it also depends on the energy of other enterprises, if they can talk to their superiors, let the rolling mill increase the price, and leave enough profit for their production, Li Zhao doesn't care, so it can be regarded as a great favor to the rolling mill.
Quite simply, the price increase will be higher for rolling mills, and the output of rolling mills will increase quickly. When others are officially put into production, they will find a problem, that is, the gap between the production capacity and the rolling mill is too large. Of course, they can also build production lines, but who will pay for the investment? A few hundred thousand is not a small number.
When someone else orders your product, it only takes a week for the rolling mill to deliver the product at the same price and the same quality of the product, but it takes a month for you to choose the rolling mill.
The reason why the cost is high is not because of the problem of labor costs, in the case of military factories, although they can only produce a few vehicles with the same manpower, but the labor cost has only increased by dozens of yuan. The main reason is that the consumption caused by pure labor has increased more, for example, some steel plate forming, which needs to be heated, and the rolling mill adds a heat, and then there is a mold, which is directly forged and formed, while others do not, it needs to be heated and beaten repeatedly.
The fuel consumed and so on all require money, right? In this way, each process increases by a few hundred yuan, and the final result is a few hundred yuan, and the labor cost on the contrary is really not a few dollars. However, Gao Yong and Liu Ming didn't care much about this, they were not interested in the tricycle and bicycle that Li Zhao said, of course, the reason was very simple, they produced much more advanced things than these.
After chatting for a while, looking at the time, it was not early, it was almost noon, Li Zhao also took the two of them to say goodbye and went straight to the material factory. As for staying in the military factory to eat, forget it, Li Zhao tries not to eat in other factories, it is very simple, in fact, people who really do things are very tired of socializing, and Li Zhao doesn't want to cause trouble to others, after all, being able to accompany Li Zhao to visit for so long has already delayed other people's time.
When he came to the material factory, he first registered the two of them and kept their letters of introduction on file, so Li Zhao took the two of them to eat first, and there was no special preparation, it was the daily meal of the army, and the two of them didn't care. After all, they are not interested in these, soon Li Zhao took them to the production workshop, Li Zhao said: "Don't be disappointed after a while, you can't see anything directly when you look at it, you really want to produce, just report to your superiors." ”
"I have a full set of information from the superior, as long as the superior approves, you can copy it directly. The equipment drawings were also produced by me, and the military factory we went to today had them, and the equipment here was also produced by them. And the manufacturing speed is not slow, but the superiors should not let go of production now. ”
Li Zhao didn't plan to tell the two of them the specific situation, it was really unnecessary, even if Li Zhao said more, they would report if they wanted to produce, and only if the superiors clearly refused and told them the seriousness of the matter, they would really give up. Sure enough, after listening to Li Zhao's words, both of them said that they would go back to report and see what the leader said.
Soon arrived at the workshop, now the production of the workshop has been on the right track, and now the workshop is running in a very orderly manner, although it is still a person to operate and a person to check, but there is no need to take the operating procedures, all staff are proficient.
At this time, Gao Yong said: "This doesn't look complicated, why not let it be promoted, if it is promoted, there should be no problem at all to increase the output several times, right?" In addition, it can greatly save on shipping costs. ”
Hearing this question, Li Zhao was also quite helpless, and replied: "Where is it as simple as you think, do you know the value of these formulas now?" If all the formula products here are sold to the outside world, it is estimated that it can bring us hundreds of billions of yuan in revenue every year, of which the profit can definitely exceed more than fifty percent. But have you ever thought about it, it's a sin, it's at least thirty years ahead of the world. ”
"Now all our transshipment and use are strictly controlled, and others have not paid attention to us, so we can develop more steadily. Once the scope is expanded, the difficulty of secrecy will inevitably increase, and how will these formulas be kept at that time? Can you guarantee that all those who come into contact with these formulas will be kept confidential? In the current situation, we can only control the scope of knowing secrets, and the reason why secrets are secrets is because few people know them. ”
At this time, Liu Ming asked with some puzzlement: "Do we really have such advanced metal materials?" It's too unreliable, you're the chief engineer, so these are all provided by you, when have you studied these? ”
When Li Zhao heard this question, he explained: "I read at least one or twenty times as many books as yours, do you think that I read so many books in vain, let me reveal a little to you, metals are polycrystals, right?" ”
Seeing the two nodding, Li Zhao also continued: "The different metal structures of metals have different properties, and even lattice defects will bring different properties, which are mainly the results of studying crystal structures. We have a metal materials research institute here, and their future research direction is these. ”
Hearing Li Zhao's explanation, the two of them believed eighty percent, and there were still twenty percent of the doubts that had not been solved, without him, Li Zhao had too many achievements, and at this time others could not achieve achievements in a lifetime.
Saying that, a few people came to the aluminum alloy production workshop, and Li Zhao also explained to the two: "The products here have a lot to do with Liu Ming's side, Liu Ming, you mainly come to see this, right?" Actually, you should be able to roughly guess what's in the formula, and I don't think you know how many times you've tested the formula, right? I won't say much about that. In fact, I was reluctant to establish this workshop, but my superiors did not agree. ”
Liu Ming said at this time: "Such excellent metal materials, why are you still unwilling to produce, our factory is eager to be able to control the production of these materials in their own hands, so that we can further reduce the cost, which is very beneficial to the development of the factory, how can you push it out." ”
Seeing Liu Ming say this, Li Zhao said: "I didn't expect you to be such a Liu Ming, don't you know that these metals are dangerous?" You use argon protection welding when welding, right? When you cast, the melting of the alloy is also carried out under the protection of gas, right? Even if the cutting is carried out, it is carried out in time to cool down, right? Processing is so dangerous, don't you think it's dangerous when you produce? ”
This is Liu Ming also said with an embarrassed smile; "Of course I know, but we can greatly reduce the cost by processing it ourselves, after all, it costs a lot to transport it back from here."
Li Zhao didn't know what to say to this guy, so he had to say angrily: "If your factory really wants to produce, you just need to report to your superiors, as long as your superiors approve it, I can't wait to separate this project from Factory 998 as soon as possible." You don't know the situation here, the workers here are actually new workers, basically only a month or two of workers, this kind of dangerous production, who really loves who wants. ”
At this time, Liu Ming saw Li Zhao say this, and he was also a little weak-hearted, and asked, "Is it really so dangerous?" ”
Li Zhao saw Liu Ming asking, and also replied: "If you don't use protective gas for welding, it is estimated that it will be ignited directly, and when cutting, if powder is generated, there is more than 600 degrees on it, and when casting, if you don't add protective gas, the temperature will be slightly higher, do you say it's dangerous?" ”
"And after these metals are fired, they are very troublesome, and they can't be extinguished with water or carbon dioxide, so they can only be buried with dry powder fire extinguishers or dry sand to extinguish the fire. Especially with water, basically a pouring level of frying, and the follow-up cleaning is also very troublesome, a little careless, there is a possibility of re-ignition, I really don't want to produce these, not only dangerous, storage is also troublesome, you are like those steel, whatever you put it, the big deal is a little rust. ”
"And the storage of these things needs to be dry, ventilated, no open flame, no water leakage, no strong heat source, etc., now our magnesium aluminum alloy raw and auxiliary materials, finished product storage warehouse has not dared to be electrified, I am afraid that when not to come to a short circuit or something, directly to the warehouse to order." Li Zhao's words made Liu Ming a little dumbfounded, and Li Zhao was too strict with this protection without him.
At this time, Liu Ming couldn't help asking: "Is it necessary to be so strict with this protection?" ”
Li Zhao saw that Liu Ming was still making stupid mistakes, and said: "No matter how strict it is, I haven't said about inspection and management, if you add these, you will feel really strict." After all, these things are very valuable, and if there is an accident, it may be a loss of tens or millions, and it will delay the production of factories like yours. And it's likely to take a toll on people, and that's not what we want to see, and it's not something we can afford. ”
After a visit, as Li Zhao said, the two of them looked lonely, and Li Zhao asked: "How is it, our secrecy work is okay, right?" "The two most important points, one is the formula, the other is the production process, just look at it casually, they can see what is strange, but the equipment can have a general understanding.
