Chapter 156: Big Problem with the Mold Center?
Cao Yang was very busy during this time.
Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. has now entered a critical period of development.
The equipment center has a batch of press orders to be delivered, and the gearbox division has to rush to build a new plant and increase the production capacity of supporting parts.
As a result, the Nanshan Industrial Park, which originally thought that 1,000 acres of land, was a bit insufficient.
"Mr. Cao, has your gearbox received an order from Ford Motor?"
After thinking about it, Cao Yang felt that it was better to hurry up and report to Liu Tianwu, and take advantage of the fact that there was still a large amount of vacant land around Nanshan Industrial Park to ask for more land.
As a star enterprise in the district, Cao Yang naturally met Liu Tianwu very easily.
"Leader, because this matter involves some cooperation with Ford Motor on the 6AT automatic transmission, neither side has publicized it."
"However, we have already received a part of Ford's orders for 6ATs, and all Changan Ford's 6AT transmissions will be equipped with our products and will be mass-produced in January 2003."
"Deliveries of the 6ATs for Ford's plant in the United States will begin after all the tests have been confirmed."
"This schedule is basically determined to be the first half of next year."
At this time, Cao Yang naturally would not be so radical.
As long as this order is confirmed, let Liu Tianwu understand that Nanshan is not a white wolf with empty gloves, and he is not playing a land game, it will be enough.
"Your turnover this year can go to 100000000000000000000000000000000000000
Investment in this era naturally depends on the size of the enterprise.
The larger the volume and the more famous the enterprise, the easier it is to obtain various preferential conditions.
"10 billion is definitely no problem, if it is ideal, it can reach about 12 billion."
"Our equipment center has also begun to make efforts now, and the mold center has also received a lot of orders."
"After all the plants in Nanshan Industrial Park are put into operation in the first half of next year, the turnover will usher in a blowout period."
"We expect a turnover of more than 5 billion next year."
As soon as Cao Yang said this, Liu Tianwu was immediately moved.
There are 5000000000000 industrial enterprises in the district.
This is still the kind of technical enterprise that has mastered the core component technology, which is more worthy of attention.
"This industrial park covering an area of 1,000 acres has not yet been fully put into operation, and 1,000 acres of land will be acquired immediately, and I am afraid that some special conditions need to be signed."
Liu Tianwu is naturally inclined to support Nanshan.
But he also wanted to avoid his own risks.
In case the land is given to Nanshan at that time, and the other party delays the development, then his pressure will be very huge.
"Leader, if there are any conditions, please don't hesitate to mention them."
"If I can do it, I will try to do it."
"If I can't do it, I'll try to create the conditions to do it."
When it's time to pat your chest, you naturally have to pat your chest.
What's more, Cao Yang is very confident in the company's prospects.
"Okay, in that case, I'll start with some precautions."
Liu Tianwu saw that Cao Yang was bound to win, and he felt a little more confident in his heart.
"First, the second phase of the Nanshan Industrial Park project, if the land acquisition and three links and one level are completed in the district in the past few months, then the construction of the plant and the installation of some equipment must be started within next year, and all the land will be used within the next year."
"And next year's output value of Nanshan in the industrial park must exceed 3 billion, and the year after next must exceed 6 billion."
Although Cao Yang said that he hoped that the turnover would exceed 5 billion next year, Liu Tianwu did not dare to be so aggressive.
At that time, Nanshan's cowhide will blow up, and if he can't do it, the main promoter of his project will also face a lot of pressure.
"The most important thing is that this land is industrial land, and except for a small number of dormitories, a large number of factory buildings are not allowed."
What Liu Tianwu is most worried about is that Cao Yang is taking this opportunity to engage in real estate.
Since the commoditization of real estate in '98, the housing market has been hot in recent years.
Many of your businessmen are starting to target this industry.
Even the owners of some industrial enterprises have begun to transform.
The land is used to build a house and a factory, and the price difference is very large.
Liu Tianwu felt that this mine should be discharged in advance.
"No problem, this new plot is mainly for the gearbox factory and its components."
"Nanshan has no plans to enter the real estate field, not now, and not in the future."
Cao Yang really didn't fool Liu Tianwu.
You can build a headquarters building or one or two staff dormitories or something.
It is certainly not necessary to simply engage in real estate.
Some industries are heavy on capital, some are heavy on technology, and real estate is heavy on relationships.
This is not for Cao Yang.
"Is there so much demand for this gearbox? Need a factory with a thousand acres of land? ”
Although Liu Tianwu is not a professional, he has come into contact with many investors, and he still has basic concepts.
"A simple gearbox assembly plant naturally doesn't need so much land."
"But in the future, we plan to set up a factory there to produce control parts such as TCUs."
"At that time, we can fully meet the production of our control parts, including the CNC system of machine tools."
Nanshan wants to be the world's No. 1 parts company, with only a thousand acres of land, will there be no way to deal with it?
"Speaking of the CNC system of machine tools, I heard that some time ago Nanshan made a big fuss, and taught Siemens and Fanuc a lesson?"
Obviously, Liu Tianwu has also been paying attention to Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.
"In a short period of time, it can only be said that they should not be so arrogant, and the CNC system of machine tools is not irreplaceable."
"But due to the production capacity and model, in fact, we are now not even a percent share of machine tool CNC systems in China."
"When our production capacity is released, that's when Siemens and Fanuc really cry and faint on the ground."
Cao Yang's expectations for CNC systems and control parts are still very high.
In the future, I hope that the factory will not only be able to do SMT process, not only PCB boards, but also various diodes, memory and chips on it.
Although this goal is not so easy to achieve, as long as the control parts of the house are famous, there is still hope.
The chips used in auto parts are actually not chips with the most advanced technology, but the requirements for vehicle specifications are higher.
Only in the era of intelligent networking has high requirements for the computing power of chips.
"Nanshan has this ambition, and the district will give full support."
"At the beginning, SKF wanted to come to the district to build a factory, but I refused to ask us to help deal with Nanshan."
"As long as Nanshan develops the industry in a down-to-earth manner and makes the parts business and equipment business bigger and stronger, whether it is land or policy, I will fully support it."
Liu Tianwu watched Nanshan develop rapidly in the past two years.
He is still very confident in Nanshan's future.
Up to now, he has not seen any domestic auto parts enterprises, which of them have the technical strength and development speed as fierce as Nanshan.
……
After completing the land of the second phase of Nanshan Industrial Park, Cao Yang immediately followed a group of technicians to soak in the laboratory again, guiding the research of various technologies such as numerical control system, surface treatment, and gearbox structure.
However, this busy and fulfilling life did not last for a few days, and He Qingquan brought him bad news.
"Master, a set of molds used on the 2,000-ton TRF of the Huaqiang factory has cracked."
"Although after a few days of mold repair, it can still be used normally, and it will not affect the production of parts."
"But it's a bit worrying."
He Qingquan is now the deputy director of the equipment research center and the director of the mold center.
After Pan Jinxing came, the director of the equipment center was his.
In addition to being responsible for stamping equipment closely related to molds, He Qingquan is completely indifferent to other machine tool businesses.
Even so, the daily workload is actually quite large.
Now the mold is cracking, which is definitely not a small problem.
Normally, there is no problem with a set of die stamping 500,000 times, as long as daily maintenance is carried out in the middle.
But mold cracking is definitely not part of routine maintenance.
"Normally, with the output of Yangcheng Honda, our mold production will not crack until the Accord is replaced, right?"
Faced with the first serious quality problem of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. for so many years, Cao Yang immediately put down the work at hand.
Many of the designs of these molds have been passed by him, and there are no major problems.
Now that something has happened, we must definitely find out why.
"The preliminary analysis is that the quality of the die steel is not good."
"Most of the current die steel is KD11 from Dongying Wellhead, but the price is relatively expensive, and a kilogram costs dozens of yuan."
"So we use Jiang/Yin Xingcheng's 4Cr5MoSiV1 and 6CrW2Si, and some of them are 3Cr2W8V purchased from Baosteel."
"When it comes to machining ordinary parts, it's not a big problem."
"However, the mold used on the 2000 tons of TRF is larger, and the processing advantage is JAC590R 45/45 material, and the requirements for the mold are relatively high."
"That's why there was this cracking."
Before He Qingquan came over to report to Cao Yang, he obviously made some confirmations.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to simply report and then ask three questions without knowing.
"Now the highest-strength material on the body is basically 590."
"But in the future, parts such as A-pillars, B-pillars, and sill reinforcements will gradually use more and more 780, 980, and even 1180 materials."
"This has to be solved."
The importance of steel, Cao Yang knows better than anyone else.
Special steel is a relatively weak place in China.
For example, bearing steel, gear steel, die steel, these special steels, to talk about production, domestic steel mills can produce.
However, the quality of the special steel produced by them on a large scale is definitely not world-class.
It can only barely meet part of the domestic demand.
"Master, at present, whether it is Baosteel, Anshan Iron and Steel, or Wuhan Iron and Steel, or Guangzhou Iron and Steel, they cannot produce KD11 and KM8 comparable to Toying Kobe Iron and Steel and Nippon Steel."
"Why don't we use mold steel imported from Dongying for large-scale molds and inserts in the future?"
"In some unimportant places, you can continue to use domestic die steel."
As a mold expert, He Qingquan naturally has a better understanding of the situation of domestic mold steel.
Now that the material was wrong, he couldn't find a better solution.
Can't Nanshan produce die steel by itself, right?
This is clearly unrealistic.
"No, we want to make the mold center bigger and stronger, then 100% localization is a very important task."
"If the die steel is imported, and the various standard parts inside are purchased from Misimi, and we are only responsible for some processing, the competitiveness will not be higher than that of the outside mold manufacturers."
"But the domestic iron and steel companies, they are not angry."
"If they can provide qualified die steel, then naturally they will buy all of them from China."
"Now it's just the mold used on the 2,000-ton TRF that has a problem, and what about the 3,000-ton and 2,500-ton TRF of Apex and Well-Fook Technology?"
"If that mold is produced and cracks after tens of thousands of stampings, our reputation will be gone."
He Qingquan felt that Cao Yang was too idealistic.
In the era of globalization, isn't it normal to import some materials or components?
Anyway, some of the better molds in China are made of imported materials.
If you're not useful, maybe the customer still has an opinion.
"You're right, but as a short-term countermeasure, you can add carburizing and nitriding treatment to the mold to improve the wear resistance and toughness of the performance."
"At the same time, a part of the margin is fully reserved at the time of design, so that it is not easy to crack."
Cao Yang was quickly thinking about how to solve the problem of die steel.
Whether it is die steel, bearing steel, or gear steel, he has the formula.
He can even handle some of the processes.
But it is obviously unrealistic for Nanshan, who has never been in contact with the steel industry, to build a steel plant on his own.
Not to mention that the above will not easily approve the new project of the steel plant, even if it agrees to build, Nanshan will not find anyone to be responsible.
There are many equipment involved in the steel plant, and the professionalism of various processes is also very strong.
Without a systematic team to stop the construction of the factory, it is impossible to do it at all.
"Master, this can only be a temporary countermeasure, and at most it is just to extend the life of the mold appropriately."
"But in the face of higher and higher strength requirements, it is estimated that when there are less than 200,000 strokes, it will still crack."
He Qingquan obviously felt that Cao Yang's plan was not so perfect.
"Anyway, the wool is out of the sheep, we use imported molds, and the price is higher."
"Master, if you have any objections to Dongying's die steel, we can import it from Europe."
"Or it's not impossible to buy from POSCO in Goryeo."
He Qingquan still hopes to use imported die steel.
Otherwise, there would be a lot of pressure on him, the director of the mold center.
No one knows if the mold will crack again one day.
"Didn't the people from Shaogang and Guanggang come to visit some time ago?"
"They want to sell their special steel, and I just have some ideas that I can talk to them about."
"You make arrangements, and we'll visit them separately in a few days."
