Chapter 495: Production is not so easy

Just when Wang Weidong and Song Yu were about to return to Wulin City, Vice Minister Lu called Wang Weidong, hoping that he would go to the ministry to discuss something with him.

Wang Weidong, who did not know why, hurried to the gate of the ministry compound to meet with Vice Minister Lu's secretary who was waiting there, and the secretary took Wang Weidong into Vice Minister Lu's office.

As for the purpose of Vice Minister Lu to see him this time, Wang Weidong guessed that it was probably because he reacted with Shi Ke last time, the expedition machinery factory was in the big ravine of Guizhou Province, the conditions were too poor, and the workers were too hard, and he hoped that the ministry would give the thousands of retired old workers and their families a better place to support the elderly, and Xiangyang Electronics would pay for these old workers to build houses.

This time, Vice Minister Lu must have found a suitable place to inform Wang Weidong to prepare and relocate the old workers from the ravine.

After seeing Wang Weidong, Vice Minister Lu stood up and shook hands with Wang Weidong warmly, and then motioned for him to sit down.

"Weidong, I came to you this time because the country has a batch of production tasks to be handed over to you Xiangyang Electronics." Vice Minister Lu said.

"With our current technical capabilities, we can't do anything other than produce tubes for the country." Wang Weidong said.

"It is to let you produce electron tubes for the country, and we are ready to hand over part of the production of electron tubes to you again!" Vice Minister Lu replied.

Hearing Vice Minister Lu's request, Wang Weidong felt very surprised, because Xiangyang Electronics has handed over all the production technology of high-end electron tubes to the state, why are they now letting them produce high-end electron tubes?

State-owned factories can use their technical data to produce directly.

"We have handed over the production technology, or state-owned enterprises to produce tubes, now our tube factory in addition to the production of tubes for audio, but also overtime production of tubes for medical blood bags and urine bags for the packaging of heat sealing machines, is really busy." Wang Weidong said.

Hearing Wang Weidong's resignation, Vice Minister Lu showed a wry smile on his face. Xiangyang Electronics did transfer all the production technology of that batch of high-end electron tubes, and it has been a state-owned enterprise for trial production for several months.

However, due to production technology and the lack of skilled skilled workers, the yield rate of the tube is very low, and even if the batch of finished tubes is used in radar equipment, the life of the tube is very short.

It simply does not reach the required service life and will soon be scrapped. Due to the low yield rate of production, the price of the single product of the state-owned electron tube factory is very high, which is much higher than the price of the original Xiangyang electron tube factory.

But price is not the key to the problem, the state can subsidize in order to support state-owned enterprises, and it is completely affordable.

What's worse is that the service life of the tube is low, and it may quickly and inexplicably damage during use.

Radar equipment and military communications should be turned on 24 hours a day, so as to guard the entire airspace of the country without blind spots and no window time.

In the process of using the radar, the tube on the equipment is suddenly damaged, and it takes time to repair and replace the tube, which will artificially cause a window period in the area where the radar is responsible for monitoring, which is absolutely not allowed.

According to the existing technical conditions of this electron tube factory, it is impossible to quickly improve the production quality of electron tubes and ensure the service life of electron tubes.

There is no way, and now the ministry can only turn back and continue to let Xiangyang Electronics continue to produce these dozens of models of high-end tubes.

Of course, Vice Minister Lu couldn't tell Wang Weidong about this real reason, he just smiled and said: "We did hand over the batch of tube technical materials you sent to us to the subordinate tube factory, but because the current military task is very tight, the tube factory is really busy, so we can only let you continue to produce tubes for the ministry." Weidong, the country's air defense and military communications must not be sloppy at all, you Xiangyang Electronics must not postpone, you must pick up this burden! ”

"Since it is the need of the country, we are duty-bound to Sunningdale! However, we have adjusted the production line to stop the production of the tubes and produce new tubes, and now we have to relay the production line to accept the production of these tubes, which requires a lot of money. This fee can only be calculated on the unit price of the tube, which means that we will increase the price of the single product by a certain amount. Also, we hope that the production contract of this batch of electron tubes is long-term, can the ministry sign a three-year or five-year procurement guarantee contract with Xiangyang Electronics, so that we can produce with peace of mind? Wang Weidong asked.

When the ministry discussed and decided to re-purchase electron tubes from Sunning, it was already thought that Sunningdale would definitely increase the price.

As long as the increase is not excessive, the ministry is ready to agree to this request of Xiangyang Electronics, after all, the state-owned enterprise that originally produced electron tubes has a high quotation due to its low yield rate.

Even a little increase in the price of Sunningdale is acceptable. Price is not the key, the key is the quality of the production of the tube.

Radar and military communications must not have accidents in the process of use, and they must ensure normal operation 24 hours a day.

However, Vice Minister Lu did not expect Wang Weidong to directly propose to sign a long-term procurement contract with the ministry.

"I hope the ministry can understand our difficulties, it takes a lot of energy and money to build a new production line, and the ministry must ensure that the production line will not be converted in a few years!" Wang Weidong said.

"I'm going to report this to the minister, and then we will sit down together and discuss it, and you wait for my news." Vice Minister Lu said.

After leaving the ministry, Wang Weidong returned to the hotel. He called and told Song Yu about it.

"We've given them all the technical information, and they can't even produce it!" Song Yu said.

"The production is not so simple, otherwise so many foreign cars and even planes are imported into China, we will directly disassemble it and produce it according to the gourd painting scoop. Although Xiangyang Electronics has handed over all the technical information, we still have a group of skilled and experienced production workers, and the production of cathode materials and the vacuum degree of electron tubes can not be mastered in a while. In order to train this group of workers, at the beginning of production, our tube yield rate was also very low, so many tubes were scrapped, so much money was lost, and those skilled workers were piled up with our money! I think the wages of the current batch of skilled workers in key positions are at least three or four times the wages of workers in the same position in state-owned enterprises! Wang Weidong said.
