Chapter 212: Eight-claw excavator
At the same time that XCMG received the task of WK-75 and the building machine, on the other hand, China State Construction Group also began to sort out the project plan.
Compared with XCMG, CSCEC's task is heavier, they are not only responsible for the shield machine, but also responsible for the bridge erecting machine, and even the gantry crane for which Sany is the main responsibility, CSCEC is also involved.
Of course, this decision was made after considering the size and resources of the three major companies, and while it may not seem reasonable, it is the most efficient choice.
At the same time, numerous subsidiaries and suppliers attached to Sany, XCMG and CSCEC also began to operate in preparation for this mega project.
Materials and resources are prioritized, and the man-hour plan is also measured in hours.
Most edge companies don't know what they're going to do, they just know that something big is going to happen.
If you can seize this opportunity, then your company will be able to follow those giants and ascend to heaven.
Guizhou.
In Sanyang Machinery Factory, Changshun County, Wang Qing followed Wang Limin, a staff member of the county party committee office, into the factory director's office.
The purpose of their visit this time is very simple, that is, to see if the Sanyang Plant has the ability to provide machinery and equipment that can support the road construction project in Luojiao Village.
In fact, this is not the first time Wang Qing has come.
The first two times, he didn't see the factory director, but this time, he was smart and directly pulled the receptionist of the county party committee office together.
Sure enough, the effect was immediate.
The factory director, who was either in a meeting or patrolling the factory before, walked directly to the door of the factory to greet him.
And after seeing Wang Qing, his attitude was also extremely enthusiastic.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome two again, take a sip of tea first, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Wang Qing politely took the tea handed over by the factory director, and then put it on the coffee table on the side.
"Director Liu, I really didn't come to embarrass you this time, but we really have no choice."
"In our county, you are the only manufacturer that has the ability to engage in machinery production, and you can only find your head."
Hearing Wang Qing's words, factory director Liu Maocai sighed helplessly.
He first glanced at Wang Limin, who was sitting on the side, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said:
"Village Chief Wang, in fact, you came to me for this matter, and my secretary also reported it to me."
"I haven't seen each other twice before, and it's really because I'm busy with work."
"But I didn't take the initiative to contact you after that, that was my subjective will."
"Your purpose and thoughts, the secretary made it clear to me."
"You just want to see if we can make improvements on the existing excavator equipment and provide one or two small excavators for the village to use for road construction, right?"
Wang Qing nodded and replied:
"That's right. I've looked at various products before, but after looking around, I couldn't find the right one that can be used in mountainous terrain. ”
"Either it's too expensive for us to even afford the rent, or it's too big to go up the mountain."
"Come to think of it, it is the kind of eight-claw small excavator that Sanyang Factory engaged in a few years ago, but it is the most suitable."
"So, I've got you."
Hearing Wang Qing's words, Liu Maocai couldn't help frowning, he turned to Wang Limin on the side, and said:
"Wang Ke, look, this matter is also very clear."
"It's not that I don't cooperate with the county's work, it's that I know that we are now fighting the battle to get rid of poverty and become rich, and I also know that as long as the road in the village can be built, it will be a major achievement."
"But the question is, do you tell me yourself, is this request reasonable?"
"Our Sanyang factory is just a small factory, and the small excavators produced are basically old technology and old technology."
"To put it bluntly, it's all leftover from other people's games more than ten years ago, we picked it up and mixed it with a little bit of bone residue from big companies to eat."
"It's not easy to maintain breakeven."
"Now, come up and ask us to make new products, what kind of octa-claw excavator, do you think it's reasonable?"
"Don't talk about us, our largest factory in China, Sany, XCMG, you go to them to do it, can they do it for you?"
Wang Limin nodded silently.
In fact, from the moment he promised Wang Qing to come with him, he didn't really have any hope for this matter.
Because he knows that this matter cannot be pushed by his own words, or even by a word from the county.
If you want to develop new products, you must have R&D funds, new production lines, and scientific researchers.
But do Sanyang Machinery Factory have these things?
Obviously, no.
Since there is none, there is no way to force it.
So, he's just here to try his luck.
In other words, he wanted to take this opportunity to make Wang Qing die.
However, Wang Qing on the other side doesn't seem to think so.
He pondered for a moment, then asked:
"Director Liu, I want to ask, that is, why didn't you suddenly do the octarong excavator before?"
Liu Maocai couldn't help but roll his eyes, and he replied:
"That thing is not a mature product in the first place, it is just something that is temporarily assembled in our factory according to our own needs."
"You can also see that we built two at the beginning, but now they have all been dismantled, and they are thrown there, and no one wants to sell scrap iron."
"There's no way, there are too few scenarios for this thing, and the market is pitiful, so it can't be sold at all."
"In addition, the technical level of our own factory is poor, and the things we make are not easy to use, even if someone wants it, they still have to return it in the end."
"Then tell me, what else did we make him for?"
"So, if the technology can keep up, you can actually build it?"
Wang Qing keenly grasped the key point and interjected to ask.
Of course, if you have the technology, you can build it, not only us, but anyone can make it."
"But the question is, do we have the technology?"
"Now there is the Internet, you go to the Internet to see, this kind of octa-claw excavator, it is a patented product."
"Foreigners can make it, Hitachi can make it, Caterpillar can make it, but will they give it to us?"
"We can only watch, Village Chief Wang, I advise you, really don't think about it."
"Instead of engaging in this kind of excavator, you might as well spend money to hire more people, as long as there are enough people, the high and low can open the way."
Wang Qing shook his head gloomily and replied:
"It's not about people, it's about not being able to hire people."
"The section at the head of the tile kiln is too dangerous, if there is no machinery and equipment, it is easy to have an accident if you rely on people to fill it."
"Just two days ago, two people in our village broke their legs by stones, and they are still lying in the county hospital."
"Then it can't be helped."
Liu Maocai spread his hands and continued:
"If you can get the technology right, I'll help you figure it out and see if you can make it."
"Otherwise, really, don't embarrass us."
"What you want is not the same concept as the things we made before, it's really not that simple"
"What the hell is the technical problem?"
"Hydraulics, bearings, electric controls. I told you that you don't understand. ”
Liu Maocai waved his hand impatiently, and then drank tea by himself.
This gesture is undoubtedly about to send off guests.
Wang Qing stood up playfully and showed an apologetic smile to Wang Limin on the side.
Subsequently, the two said goodbye to Liu Maocai and walked out of Sanyang Machinery Factory.
On the side of the road outside the factory, the two were chatting while waiting for the car.
"A-Qing, this time I really did my best."
"It's not just me, but the county has really figured out a way."
"However, there is no way, there is no way, the problem that our whole country has not solved, how can it be so easy if you want to solve it?"
Wang Qing lowered his eyes, and his heart repeatedly thought about the three words that Liu Maocai mentioned just now.
Hydraulic, bearing, electric control.
Is it possible to solve these problems and build the kind of excavator you want?
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
It wasn't until Wang Limin called his noun again that he reacted.
"What do you want? So obsessed? ”
Wang Qing let out a long sigh of relief and replied:
"I'm wondering, is there any way to solve this technical problem for Sanyang Factory."
Hearing his answer, Wang Limin said with a smile:
"If only you had that much power!"
"If you really solve the technical problems and help Sanyang Factory make a new product, not to mention the county, I will give you publicity in the city!"
"But the question is, how do you solve this kind of problem?"
"You are a scholar of literature, not a scholar of science, is it possible that you still draw pictures and do research on your own?"
Wang Qing shook his head and replied:
"I'm sure I can't do it myself"
"But, didn't Jiancheng go to school at Xi'an University of Technology?"
"I heard that he studied very well over there and participated in the scientific research projects in the school."
"What if you ask him? He might have a way."
"You're going to stop making trouble."
Wang Limin interrupted him, and then poured cold water on him.
"I know that I learned aviation."
"The one who built the plane, you asked him to build the excavator? What are you kidding?"
"Then you have to try."
Wang Qing raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance with fascination.
At this moment, his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
He also knew that what Wang Limin said was right.
No matter how good Wang Jiancheng is, the major he studied is completely incompatible with the problem he wants to solve.
I'm also a college student, and I actually know this by heart.
But, in the dark, I just have some kind of premonition.
Or rather, some kind of expectation.
What if?
What if, he really has a way?
Gotta try. After all, this is arguably the only hope for the village.
It's too hard to rely on manpower to open the way.
This time someone was hurt, what about the next time?
If there is a fatality, then the task of building roads will not be able to continue
An hour later, Wang Jiancheng, who was far away at the Western University of Technology, received a call from Wang Qing.
On the phone, Wang Qing told him about the difficulties of building roads in the village, and at the same time expressed his thoughts.
This idea surprised Wang Jiancheng.
"Why not rent a full-fledged product? Can't you tune it in? ”
Wang Qing on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and replied:
"You can't find such a product in China."
"If you want to buy it, you have to import it from abroad, and we really can't afford it."
"However, if the Sanyang factory can be built, it will be improvised, and our village will raise its own funds, plus a little support from the county, it will barely be able to."
"Understood."
Wang Jiancheng nodded subconsciously.
In fact, he knows nothing more about the village where he was born.
Although he moved to live in the county town after elementary school, when he went home every year to worship his ancestors, the steep mountain road and the poor and backward small village at the end of the mountain road still deepened his memories of that place again and again.
He also wanted to change everything there, but he always felt that he was not capable enough.
Now, Wang Qing has done what he has not done, and perhaps, he should indeed do his part
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said:
"Then I'll help you figure it out."
"I can't guarantee it, so don't get your hopes up"
"Okay, just ask for me!"
Wang Qing on the other side of the phone obviously ignored the latter sentence, and his tone changed.
Wang Jiancheng was stunned, and finally didn't say anything more dejected.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jiancheng fell into deep thought.
Who is this thing looking for?
None of my classmates and teachers around me seem to be doing research in this area.
Except for Jo Mai.
She seems to have barely made a connection.
Can she understand, though?
Why don't you ask Li Xiang to help.
Although he is not very good professionally, he is scary with a wide range of connections, and even if he can't help himself, he should be able to find someone who can help
Thinking of this, Wang Jiancheng immediately called Li Xiang.
And Li Xiang gave the answer almost without thinking after hearing his question.
"It's right for you to look for Qiao Mai for this matter."
"She just recently participated in a construction machinery project and has some resources in this area."
"If the project is going well, we might be able to help you solve the problem."
"However, my personal suggestion is that when you look for Qiao Mai, call Chen Nian."
"Senior? What are you looking for him? ”
Wang Jiancheng asked suspiciously.
In his opinion, the field that Chen Nian is studying really has nothing to do with the excavator, so he asked him for help. The profession is not right.
However, Li Xiang did not answer his question directly, but said ambiguously:
"If you want to solve the problem, you need to find smart people."
"Among the few of us, Chen Nian is obviously the smartest one."
"If you believe me, go to him."
"If you really can't solve it, then think of other solutions"
"Understood."
Wang Jiancheng nodded solemnly.
After thanking Li Xiang, he called Qiao Mai and Chen Nian respectively.
And Chen Nian's first reaction when he received the call was not surprise, but surprise.
, township enterprises have begun to generate endogenous power for technological innovation?
It's not just an octopus – or a new all-terrain excavator.
This means that the impact of rapid iteration of technology has gradually sunk to the bottom layer.
Once the scale is formed, the development of domestic technology will be healthier in the future.
Therefore, this "demonstration project", he really has to help make it
