Chapter 553 Die Forging Press, Start!

Under the vigorous care of Lan Xinzhi and even the entire system of science, technology and industry for national defense, the die forging press quickly transferred from the design stage to formal manufacturing.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the entire project team is all right.

When the preset state is transferred to the actual operating environment during the design process, there will inevitably be some parts that need to be further optimized.

However, for a good and well-finished design, these parts will have less impact and will require little rework.

Most of them can be handed over to Yan Yongnian, the on-site commander-in-chief.

On the second day after the completion of the 750MN giant die forging hydraulic press project, the first C-plate raw material used in the equipment began to be cut at the Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant in northern Shanghai.

Almost at the same time, Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory, as the main engine factory of this project, also began to build a new workshop under the leadership of the new factory director.

The weight of the 75,000-ton die forging press is very exaggerated, and considering the shock and vibration after entering the working state, the requirements for the ground conditions are very harsh.

Therefore, a specially strengthened position of the foundation is required to ensure stable work for a long time.

As for the components such as hydraulic cylinders, pipelines, and transmission systems, they are also distributed to different suppliers according to their respective design standards and requirements.

"Mr. Chang, the production of die forging presses is now basically on the right track, this is the list of first-class suppliers that I and Director Lan have determined, and the projects they are responsible for."

Yan Yongnian, who had two dark circles under his eyes, walked into Chang Haonan's office and handed over a file bag to the latter while reporting.

In the past half month, he has been so busy that he doesn't even have a stable time to sleep.

Since after entering the production stage, Yan Yongnian took a part of the engineering staff to stay in Jiangcheng, so the entire die forging press project team entered the mode of working in two places.

It's a bit like the situation on the Turbofan 10 side.

But in this era, there is no online video conference, and Chang Haonan can't travel between two places every day as he wears many hats.

So he could only let Yan Yongnian run back.

In addition, the situation of some subsystem suppliers also needs to be investigated and negotiated by him.

In short, he has flown more planes during this time than he has taken for most of his life combined.

However, although the exhaustion on his face could not be hidden at all, Yan Yongnian's spirit was still good.

After all, he is personally fulfilling the dream that he has been thinking about for more than ten years, and building a die forging press from scratch little by little.

Chang Haonan opened the file bag, and there were dozens of documents that had been classified and summarized with paper clips.

Just like the previous follow-up investigation of suppliers, Yan Yongnian's carefulness is reflected everywhere.

Chang Haonan checked them one by one, and at the same time, his mind was not idle:

"The localization rate seems to be higher than we expected......

A considerable number of these items were originally classified as "imported" in Yan Yongnian's records, but eventually found suppliers from China.

"After all, this is only a first-tier supplier, in the past two years, our country's machining capacity has improved rapidly, after all, I also have my own job, so a lot of information is too late to update."

Referring to this matter, Yan Yongnian was also very interested, and explained happily:

"Again, after the deepening of cooperation with the European Union, a lot of new equipment that was restricted in the past has gradually been imported through various legal or semi-legal ways, machinery manufacturing, equipment problems have been solved, many problems do not exist, and the localization rate can naturally be raised."

"The other thing is ......"

Speaking of which, he paused slightly:

"Alas...... The Ministry of Machinery Industry is going to dissolve this matter, in fact, there were rumors two years ago, so the morale and work efficiency of the ministry have been affected to some extent, and many businesses related to industry coordination are also dealing with errands. ”

"Two days ago, I went on a business trip with Director Lan to provide piston pumps and control valves to the Lianhai Hydraulic Plant, and their director said that this was the first time in the past three years that a superior unit had given feedback on the report submitted by the factory."

"A few years ago, I took out a loan to introduce a new production line, and I wanted to improve the popularity of the product, but the brand of my own factory could not be sold at all, and I had no choice but to do OEM for foreign brands......

"Fortunately, the level of things needed for our equipment is not the highest, and their old equipment can still be made, that's it, if it weren't for the Equipment Industry Department to re-review the past reports, we would still think that we could only import ......"

What Yan Yongnian said is the most direct impact of the loss of overall management of disadvantaged industries.

Even if you catch up with the advanced level at some time through a chance, because you have no brand recognition, no market, no user feedback, or you still can't keep up with the subsequent technology iterations, you will soon fall behind again.

"Is this...... There is no way, on the one hand, the internal and external pressure is very great, on the other hand, the original Ministry of Machinery Industry is indeed involved in too many things that do not need to be held in the hands, and now the reorganization of the Equipment Industry Division, on the contrary, can grasp the big and let go of the small, it may not be completely bad......"

Chang Haonan waved his hand and replied a little helplessly.

He wasn't exactly comforting him.

The management model of the Ministry of Machinery Industry has indeed brought a lot of problems, and it is not strong enough, and it is normal to be regarded as a target, and it is normal to not be able to withstand it.

Even the State Machinery Industry Bureau, which was proposed by the Economic and Trade Commission later, is in a similar situation.

After some emotion, Yan Yongnian changed the topic to a slightly more relaxed topic:

"By the way, I have heard a lot of colleagues in the industry talk about your new joint venture company during this time, and some people have asked me to inquire about the specific performance and price of this equipment, and when will the updated five-axis equipment be released."

This made Chang Haonan show an unprecedentedly distressed look:

"Because the company was established in a hurry, the official website and promotional materials are still being produced, and now the people who buy the equipment basically contact me directly, or contact Director Lan......"

"I'll make it a little faster over there, and before the end of the month, the normal purchase channel should be online."

In order to avoid the suspicion of forced buying and selling, Chang Haonan and Lan Xinzhi did not overemphasize the matter of Torch-C.B. Ferrari.

Despite this, the MS45T has increased its order book by almost triple digits in less than a week.

Mainly, the Torch Group is no longer what it used to be.

It is not obvious in the public perception, but in the industry, it is already famous.

Although not too many people know Chang Haonan's special status in the Commission of Science and Technology, there are still many people who know that he won three national science and technology awards by himself in February.

In addition, the newly established Equipment Industry Department a few days ago, the first document is to build momentum for the precision manufacturing industry, and even the first public appearance speech of the new director was at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of this joint venture.

With a little bit of eyesight, they have all shown their magic and began to place orders in relation to each other.

Before the company was founded, C.B. Ferrari, especially Chiravadi, who was in charge of finance, was still a little skeptical about Chang Haonan's proposal to expand production.

Mainly in the past half century, they have been operating in the form of fine workshops, at the peak of the staff of only 300 people, although the products are indeed high-end, but the capital chain is actually very fragile.

If the scale expands, but the business volume does not increase, then the company is directly an existential crisis.

Besides, he still has to worry about whether Chang Haonan is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to annex C.B. Ferrari in one fell swoop?

As a result, the expansion has been relatively slow.

As a result, in less than a month, there were 200 small orders.

It turned out that the sparks that people were eager to screw and beat straight up, but the production speed was not as fast as the number of new orders increased.

It is said that even the Italians have started working overtime in three shifts......
