The night is gradually deepening, and the factories in the Jincheng Development Zone are still roaring with machines, and the production is non-stop, showing strong vitality.

The newly built steel plant is full of vitality and vitality, and the smoke coming out of the blast furnace almost never stops.

In the middle of the night, a Jincheng Daihatsu van drove into the factory and stopped in front of the sales department.

"I heard that you have made a furnace of ballpoint pen ball steel, and our Jincheng ballpoint pen factory wants a roll!" Fan Qiujie, the factory director, walked into the sales department and shouted to the people inside: "I am Fan Qiujie, the factory director, everyone can call me Lao Fan." ”

The people inside were stunned for a moment, this had just been smelted, and someone came to the door to ask for it?

The eyes of the big guys all looked at Qin Feng.

After dinner, the time was not early, Qin Feng didn't plan to fight overnight, just held a meeting here in the sales department to discuss the next development of the factory, but I didn't expect someone to come to the door.

"Director Fan, we have indeed made a furnace, and the test has been qualified, but after all, we haven't used it yet, I don't know how this furnace steel is, don't you buy it back like this, aren't you afraid that it won't be used?"

"What's not to use here, as long as you can produce it, we can use it." Fan Qiujie said: "The foreign exchange approved by us this year has not come down, and the factory has been suspended for half a month. By the way, how much does this steel we produce ourselves? ”

In the past, all ballpoint pen ball steel was to be purchased from abroad, which required the cost of precious foreign exchange, and this year's foreign exchange was particularly tight, many enterprises could not pass the procurement plan, some enterprises can be replaced by domestic products, and some enterprises have to wait.

Now, when they heard that there was a furnace here, they immediately ran over.

If it is smelted by others, they may still have doubts, but Pacific Group is different from other companies! Look at the motorcycles they produce, the quality is better than that of the island country! The three wheels they produce are even more popular all over the country and even the world!

Since they have smelted this kind of steel, the quality must not be bad!

"How much will it cost us to import?" Qin Feng asked.

"According to the official exchange rate, it will be converted into 120,000 yuan a ton, and if it is according to the exchange rate of the black market, it will have to be doubled.

In this era, it is still a dual-track system, everything is two sets of standards, the exchange rate is the same, the official exchange rate is very low, but it is not something that ordinary people can get.

"Then let's sell 60,000 tons, a roll of five tons, we have a total of four rolls on hand now, you can buy a roll back to try, if you can use it, then continue to buy, if you can't use it, send it back to us, and we will give you a full refund." By the way, because this is stainless steel, after you make the steel into steel balls, you also have to go through a quenching and annealing process, which can further increase the hardness and wear resistance by 10 percent......"

For the first customer who took the initiative to come to the door, Qin Feng was very polite, after all, the products he smelted were not TISCO's products, and he didn't know if it could be used.

Others were shocked.

High-performance steel, so profitable?

Now, the planned price of ordinary steel is only seven or eight hundred and one tons, and the unplanned market track is more than 1,000 yuan a ton, even if it is stainless steel, five or six thousand and one tons is already outrageous, and now, the price of Qin is actually 61,000 tons.

What about the cost? Even if even the rare elements are relatively expensive, plus the various smelting costs, it is less than 11,000 tons, and Mr. Qin will sell it for 60,000 yuan, which is five times the profit.

Can the customer say yes?

"Okay, we remember, Mr. Qin, we want two volumes! This can meet our half-year production. Fan Qiujie said: "Mr. Qin, in order to buy steel in our factory, we have already saved enough money, tomorrow we will transfer the money to your factory, tonight, can we pull the wire away first?" In this way, we can organize production overnight, and we have to get back the lost half a month. ”

"Of course, no problem, the factory will send a car to the servants."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

The matter was thus negotiated, and the head of the sales section ran to help coordinate the transportation of the cars, sign the contract, etc., while the others watched the scene with wide eyes and incredulity.

"Mr. Qin, isn't the price we are selling a little ......?"

"Lao Yang, where is your vision? What about the pattern? Qin Feng glanced at Yang Xin: "The kind of steel we produce is currently only produced by Switzerland and island countries!" We are the third and we sell for half the price! This is already very face-saving for the brother units, which means that their production costs can be reduced by half! The ballpoint pens they produce can not only meet the needs of the domestic market, but even go to the world! What are you thinking? Do you want the same price as domestic takeaways? We've got to give the profits to our brothers! ”

Yang Xin was a little embarrassed, Mr. Qin, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say, isn't our price a little high! However, just now when the other party heard the price, he resolutely decided to buy two rolls at a time, and it seems that the other party did not feel that the price was high, but very affordable.

"The production of our steel is confidential, and it will be handed over to Zhou Gong in the future." Qin Feng said: "Some domestic iron and steel companies want to take advantage of us. Zhou Gong, I will work hard for you in the future. ”

Zhou Minghui was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Qin, I am responsible for building an 80,000-ton die forging press!" ”

Mr. Qin said that he wanted to let himself help, so he came over, where did he think that he would be forced to change careers?

"Of course, you are responsible for 80,000 tons of die forging presses, the steel of this ballpoint refill does not use much, the country is hundreds of tons of demand, we produce dozens of furnaces, a month of time, enough for the whole country to use for a year."

"Oh."

"Next, let's talk about the production process of wire rope, which is closely related to our die forging press."

"Hmm."

As he spoke, the phone rang on the table next to him.

Wang Fang picked it up with his hand: "Hey, which one?" Of the magic capital? Would you like to buy my ballpoint pen ball steel? At the moment, there are only two rolls left, ten tons, what, you all want it? ”

High-precision steel is urgently needed in the East, as long as there are enterprises that can produce, even if the quality is slightly poor, the relevant units will come to buy! Besides, the products produced by the Pacific Group must be high-quality!

The next day, the Jincheng ballpoint pen factory sent the first batch of ballpoint pens produced to the steel factory.

"Mr. Qin, this is a ballpoint pen produced from our own steel!" Fan Qiujie took out a beautifully packaged box: "This box of ballpoint pens is for you as a souvenir." ”

"Only one box?"

"Well, this kind of packaging is only one box, the rest are sent in large boxes, if you need it......"

"Forget it, this box is enough, you don't mind if I pass it on to the islanders, do you?"

"Of course not."

Zhao Jiao on the side was like a mirror in her heart, Brother Feng was going to take a ballpoint pen to slap her face, so that the people of the island country could see if we could produce it ourselves!

"By the way, Director Fan, I have seen your efforts, I also have a new process, I want to give it to you to try, if you can master it, the quality of the ballpoint pen produced by this process will reach the strongest."

The other party is very powerful, after hearing about it yesterday, he immediately came to buy, organized production overnight, and sent the product this morning, for such a person, Qin Feng is also willing to help, after all, the ballpoint pen industry is too small, and he doesn't want to dabble in it, so he will help the brother factory and make it bigger and stronger together.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Fan Qiujie was so moved, tears were about to fall, Mr. Qin was so good to us!

"After you produce the pen beads, you need to clean and polish them, and after these processes, you can also do ion implantation, using a metal vapor vacuum arc injection device, to inject rare metal elements such as TI, CR, C, CO or HF, you can compare and see which is best, the beam intensity at the time of injection is 20 milliamps, the dose is 16 cubic centimeters of ten, the injection energy is 100k electron volts, and the depth of injection is ten nanometers......"

Qin Feng finished saying all the parameters in one breath, Fan Qiujie recorded them carefully, and he had a hunch that after this kind of processing, the quality of the ballpoint pen would definitely go to a new level!

In later generations, the East is a big producer of ballpoint pens, with an annual output of five per person in the world, and at the same time, the East is constantly improving the quality of ballpoint pens, and this ion implantation method is one of the best solutions! Although Qin Feng has never done it himself, but he has seen these processes, he has many advantages, his brain is very good, and he can remember what he has seen.

Fan Qiujie recorded all the data and took a deep breath: "Mr. Qin, let's go to the test and strive to produce the first ballpoint pen in the country or even the world!" ”

"Well, you used to worry about the foreign exchange of imported steel, and in the future, you can export to earn foreign exchange and win glory for our motherland!"

"Yes! Then I'll go back and test it! ”

Fan Qiujie is a fiery person, he does what he says, and he has a very good appetite for Qin Feng.

"Mr. Qin, let's go find the islanders next?" Zhao Jiao looked at Qin Feng.

"Of course." Qin Feng said: "Let's go, find the island people to show off." ”

The islanders are still very dedicated, providing equipment, providing technical services, early in the morning, and began to wander around the various workshops, when Qin Feng found the islanders, it happened to be next to the blast furnace.

"Mr. Ishino, morning." Qin Feng greeted warmly: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Since the opening of the country, you have begun to look for old steelmaking equipment everywhere in the international market, I think, this way is not good, especially these steelmaking equipment, pollution, high energy consumption, you should introduce advanced ironmaking technology."

This sentence is not wrong, Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, we should introduce advanced steelmaking technology, but we must also be able to introduce it." For example, the technology of smelting ballpoint pen ball steel, are you willing to sell it to us? ”

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned! Ishino Yutsu's face changed slightly, and he tried to control his emotions: "Mr. Qin, we in Kobe Steel are researching a new direct reduction method of steelmaking, which can greatly reduce pollution, for example, the concentrate does not need to be sintered, it can be thrown directly into the steelmaking furnace, and we do not use coke, but ordinary coal, and the waste heat generated in the ironmaking process can also be used to generate electricity......"

"Really? Can you write us about it? Qin Feng said, handing over the pen and paper.

Ishino didn't think much about it, he took it and wrote the chemical equation, and even drew a picture.

"Ordinary ironmaking requires coke, and coke needs to go through sintering and coking processes, which produce a lot of pollution."

"Ordinary ironmaking involves processing concentrates, which can also cause pollution."

"The chemical equation for our direct reduction ironmaking method is ......"

Whew! Ishino Yutong kept writing, the ballpoint pen left clear handwriting on the paper, and when he finished writing, he handed the pen and paper to Qin Feng: "Mr. Qin, I hope you will think about it, you are a private enterprise, and you are still very rich...... There are ideal private enterprises that can introduce the most advanced ironmaking technology from us. ”

"Mr. Ishino, how are you spending this?"

"We're talking about the big things about ironmaking technology, and the pen is just a small thing." Ishino continued: "Our technology is suitable for the construction of steel mills with an annual output of 500,000 to 2 million tons, using ordinary coal and using unsintered concentrates. You have your own special conditions in the East, and I think this method is most suitable for you. ”

Qin Feng smiled: "Thank you for your suggestion, I have a small gift for you, Gillian!" ”

Zhao Jiao sent the box of beautifully packaged ballpoint pens to the front of Ishino Yutong.

Only then did Ishino Yutong react: "This ballpoint pen is made by you from your own steel?" ”

"Yes, our own steel, our own process, you've just used it, it's very smooth, isn't it?" Qin Feng said: "I hope you will bring this box of ballpoint pens back as a testimony to our friendship." ”

Where is this to listen to his own nagging about the upgrading of iron-making technology, this is clearly a slap in the face!

The faces of several island people around Ishino Yumichi were gloomy.

Ishino Yutong took it: "Yes, I will take it back, and then, hand it over to our domestic related enterprises, we are still using tungsten carbide, you can already use stainless steel, I thank you for your gift, it won't be long before we can smelt stainless steel ballpoint pen balls in China." ”

The islanders smiled at this time, this is what you gave us, it won't be long before we will have similar technology, after all, we islanders are the most creative!

"The price of our steel is only half of the price of your island country." Qin Feng said with a smile: "I still have something to do, go first, you guys are busy!" ”

What about imitations? Our price is cheap, we have a cost advantage, and you can't sell it if you copy it!

Zhao Jiao on the side sighed, it is said that these islanders are technical consultants, and they should be treated with great respect, but who let the other party say yesterday that we can't produce ballpoint pen ball steel? Brother Feng can't see the contempt of others the most, so he has to use his strength to tell them!

Last night, Qin Feng had told Zhou Minghui about the process of refining steel rope raw materials, Zhou Minghui couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and came to smelt early in the morning.

If you want to make a wire rope, wire drawing is just the first step, and next, you need to twist the drawn wire, which requires a stranding machine.

Fortunately, this kind of machine is not complicated, just a common industrial machine, and the relevant production units have ready-made ones, and after contact, they can be sent over for installation in a few days.

In the past few days, I can also prepare the raw materials first.

In the afternoon, the second furnace of molten steel came out of the furnace and continued to draw the wire, this time the wire was slightly thicker.

"Mr. Qin, the test results are out, the tensile performance of our steel wire can really reach 1,500 megapascals!" Du Longqing took a piece of steel wire to test, and said very excitedly: "In the whole country, I can't find this level of steel wire!" The wire rope made from it must also be very strong! ”

"Not only is it strong, but it also has to be thin enough not to be too thick." Qin Feng said.

The diameter of the wire rope of the aircraft arresting cable is only 35 mm, and only this thick rope can be carried by the green vests on the deck, if it is too thick, it cannot be operated at all.

"Mr. Qin, *Hemp fiber is here!" Outside, Zhao Yuanshan ran in, and heard that Mr. Qin needed this kind of material, so he happened to have a relationship, so he ran to contact him and picked it up in person.

"This thing, I can guarantee that it is the best in China!"

"Well, that's good." Qin Feng took the sample and pulled it with his hand, knowing its toughness and strength.

"Mr. Qin, let's make wire ropes, and we still need this thing?" Zhou Minghui was a little curious.

"That's right, the things of the ancestors are still very useful. Soak it in flaxseed oil and wait for it to be set aside! ”

In the past, there was no wire rope, and the ancestors used this thing to make rope, and after rubbing it, it was also very strong and durable.

In order to enhance the performance of this material, linseed oil is generally used, which is rich in linolenic acid and linoleic acid, has good moisture-proof properties, and can greatly increase the service life of this material.

"Okay."

Another day passed, and Da Liu also came.

"Mr. Qin, I got your news, let's produce overnight, and you can see if the polyester core we produce can meet your requirements." Da Liu pointed to a roll of wire on the truck and said.

It is not so easy to make a high-strength steel wire rope, to have a steel wire with strong tensile resistance, to have the best * hemp rope, in the center of the steel wire, you also need to have polyester fiber to make the core! This core is the most critical!

There is no diamond, no porcelain work, Qin Feng dares to take this task next, because he has a special polyester fiber production line under his hands!

Everything!
