Chapter 70 Race against time(1/2)
Mu Yang made a list of annual goals and found that time and energy were limited. It was pretty good to achieve more than six goals in one year.
He suddenly realized that every day's time is so precious.
I originally planned to slowly gain experience, but in the next year or two, it seems that I have to make use of every minute. The time I spend with my girlfriend and the time I spend cooking at home will be reduced.
Maybe it's because he hasn't seen the scenery from a high place and is not willing to be a lying fish. Now that he is stronger and more capable, he wants to stand at a higher place and take a look at the scenery.
After sorting out his plans for the next year, Mu Yang got up, rinsed his mouth, brushed his teeth and had breakfast.
He plans to go to school again tomorrow, and will go to the company as usual today. He will deal with anything if anything happens, and read books to gain experience if nothing happens. It is more important to upgrade quickly.
I drove to the company and walked around the workshop first. The production went smoothly. Then I returned to the office and sat down on the sofa. I heated myself a pot of tea and read a book to gain experience while drinking tea.
Once he got busy, he couldn't care about anything. When Song Xuelu finished class, he called her.
"Xuelu, I want to discuss something with you."
When Song Xuelu heard the solemn tone, she became nervous and asked softly: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"In the next one or two years, I need to overcome some technical difficulties. I may be very busy. I usually don't have much time to go shopping and watch movies with you or cook at home. As long as I survive two years, it will be much easier."
Song Xuelu patted the murder weapon: "Oh, I was shocked. I thought it was something.
I understand. When I saw you come back from a business trip yesterday, you were very tired.
I will also work harder to help you share some of the burden.
In the past few days at home, I have practiced more by following the videos on the self-study website, and I have basically learned the basics of three-dimensional drawing and rendering. As for design, I have no experience and it feels very difficult."
The school only teaches students CAD, but does not teach students three-dimensional drawing. It relies entirely on students' self-study. Song Xuelu has learned to create two-dimensional drawings from three-dimensional drawings.
For students with a certain level of mechanical drawing, learning SOLIWORKS is not difficult. After a few days and some guidance, you can learn to draw three-dimensional drawings of simple structures, make explosion drawings, and produce two-dimensional drawings.
It is easy to take pictures, but difficult to design and create.
"Haha, that's pretty awesome." Mu Yang praised, it's not difficult to learn drawing software, the hard part is whether you can calm down and study.
The self-study website was established in 2007 and already has CAD and 3D drawing tutorials. A few years ago, Mu Yang told her to watch the video first and then use the software to operate it again, so she could learn quickly.
Mu Yang was on the phone when suddenly the welding engineer Wu Gong knocked on his office door, his face a little anxious: "Mr. Mu, the people from Kawei Company are having a quarrel with our people."
"what happened?"
"Their people wanted to open the outer packaging of our equipment, but we wouldn't let them. They felt that our cooperation was not sincere enough."
"Well, you're doing well. You can go down first. I'll be there later."
Wu Gong nodded, turned and left the general manager's office.
Song Xuelu also heard the conversation between Mu Yang and the employee, and asked with concern: "Yang Yang, please go deal with the matter first."
"Okay, it's not a big deal. There are many manufacturers who want to buy our equipment during this period. The patent application has been submitted and I don't know when it will be approved. I'll hang up first." After Mu Yang hung up the phone, he hurried to the workshop.
At this time, Zhang Kai, the workshop supervisor of Xinghai Company, was arguing with people from Kawei Company.
There were two middle-aged men who came to visit this time, claiming to be the quality engineer and welding engineer of Kawei Company.
"Sorry, the equipment jacket cannot be disassembled!"
Zhang Kai insisted on what his boss told him. The boss said that no one, including valve manufacturers and even company employees, could dismantle the equipment. He emphasized many times that equipment and technology are the foundation of the company.
If he can't do it, he might be fired by his boss immediately.
Therefore, I would rather take off his clothes than take off his equipment!
"Then let your boss come over and tell us, Mr. Li, that you can visit at will. If the cooperation fails, can you afford the consequences?" The middle-aged man who calls himself a quality engineer solemnly replied.
Li Chuangfa explained to him that if the equipment is good, it is best to get the drawings of the equipment structure.
Zhang Kai frowned when he heard this. Why did this bald man shift the responsibility to him?
He's so stupid, he can't even be reasonable!
But since the two of them were clients, he had to force a smile and shake his head.
"Yeah, I don't know your equipment. How can we evaluate your company's equipment processing capabilities? I hope to get your company's equipment drawings. Isn't it just plasma surfacing? Our company also has it, which is better than yours. Let's take a look.
It’s nothing.”
Kawei's welding engineer saw Zhang Kai shaking his head and said, He didn't expect that Xinghai Company kept the equipment secret, wrapped the welding gun with fireproof asbestos, and the operation display screen did not show the specific process, so he could not see the equipment structure and specific process.
Parameters, it is also known that plasma welding can also clad STL6.
They tested the samples left by Xinghai Company in their company and found that the quality of the surfacing welding was very good and they couldn't make it at all. That's why they came to visit today and wanted to learn from it. It would be better if they could imitate the equipment.
After hearing what the two said, Zhang Kai felt that the reason was so strong.
"If your company has one, then there is no need to look at our company's. After all, he just wants to peek at our equipment." Zhang Kai is relatively young and speaks very straightforwardly. Wu Fang, who had just arrived, had a headache when he heard this and pulled him aside.
.
As soon as he finished speaking, the quality engineer of Kawei Company was very unhappy: "Director Zhang, what kind of cooperative attitude do you have!"
"Boss, I'm sorry, our manager Zhang is more straightforward.
But the equipment is indeed confidential and cannot be taken apart for inspection.
Equipment clothes are just like our clothes, they are like a fig leaf for beautiful women. Everyone wants to take them off to take a look.
However, beauties are definitely not happy to take it off.
If you don't believe it, just wait for our boss to come. He is on his way to the company and will be here in a moment." Wu Fang apologized politely, not wanting to offend his customers.
But the boss's request is also very clear. No one, including them, can open it and read it.
I found a joke, hoping to lighten the mood.
He didn't understand why his boss emphasized the confidentiality of the equipment many times before, but now he understands that even these valves and faucets want to peek, and then he understands the value of the company's equipment.
Perhaps Wu Fang's joke worked and the atmosphere at the scene relaxed a bit.
"Okay, let's wait for a while, I trust your boss."
After a while, Mu Yang came to the workshop and met the two people from Kawei Company. They shook hands politely and learned about the issue they had just argued about.
After Mu Yang figured out the situation, he refused with a gentle smile: "Both leaders, I'm really sorry. We keep the equipment confidential and we really can't take it apart to look at it."
"Mr. Mu, how can I evaluate your company without looking at the equipment, and how can I entrust the product to you for OEM with confidence?"
Mu Yang: "OEM only cares about quality. If there is no problem with the quality, the process is not important."
"Quality control must look at the manufacturing process. If the manufacturing process cannot be controlled, how to control the quality? Therefore, we need to understand the equipment situation."
Mu Yang smiled. This person was arguing about quality control, but he really didn't want to refute. He clearly wanted to imitate the equipment and said directly: "I have had an interview with Mr. Li, and the OEM price offered by your company is too low.
, I don’t want to do OEM work.
If Mr. Li is willing to do the OEM work at the price I mentioned, you can talk about quality control and equipment later.
For example, if I buy a valve from your company, would you give me the design drawings and process? This is impossible. The principle is the same.
Core technology is a company's means of making a living, and it will not be disclosed to the outside world."
Mu Yang's words instantly embarrassed the two of them.
They didn't know that it was Xinghai Company that refused to cooperate. They only knew that it was Li Kaifang who asked them to inspect the equipment. They thought they had secured Xinghai Company, but it turned out that it was not the case. The OEM price offered by Kawei was too low and they were unwilling to do it.
Damn, this is so embarrassing!
Li Chuangli, a bad guy, doesn’t make his words clear in advance.
The two secretly scolded Li Chuangkai.
"Okay then, let's go back first and report the situation to Mr. Li."
Mu Yang treated the guests politely: "You are guests. We have not treated you well. Why don't you eat first and then go back."
"Thanks, Mr. Mu, let's go back next time." The Kawei welding engineer refused. He was not in the mood to eat.
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Mu Yang, Zhang Kai and Wu Fang sent the two people from Kawei Company out of the company gate.
After the people from Kawei Company drove away, Wu Fang said to Mu Yang: "Boss, their actions are too obvious. They just want to steal equipment technology."
Zhang Kai said: "That's right, I saw that they wanted to take apart the equipment's outer cover, and I stopped them at that time."
"Well, you've done a good job. Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering the workshop to take pictures.
If you are a partner, you can enter the workshop, but try not to let them take pictures, and it is strictly forbidden to remove the equipment's outer coverings. We have patent protection, but if we can keep it secret, we will try to keep it secret."
Mu Yang felt good about the performance of the two people. He originally planned to postpone the submission of the invention patent, but now it seems that it is better to submit it as soon as possible.
-----------
The two people who had just visited Xinghai Company were driving back to Sioux City.
The bald man asked: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect this equipment to be so good. No wonder the quality of cladding STL6 is so good."
Zhang Gong, who was driving, parked the car on the side of the road, handed the boss a cigarette, and then lit a cigarette for himself: "Boss, I secretly took some photos and went back to copy them. If I copy them, I can get more information from Kawei Company."
Orders, it's hard not to make a fortune.
People from Xinghai Company thought we were from Kawei Company, haha."
