Chapter 18 Assistant Zhang's Confusion
Zhang Bing is 25 years old. He graduated from the Radio Department of Yanjing University of Science and Technology and is currently studying for a graduate degree in industrial automation. Ma Jianguo is a professor-level senior engineer at Beigang Design Institute and Zhang Bing’s mentor.
Everyone called Zhang Bing assistant before, which is actually a title for his position, rather than a job title such as assistant researcher. In fact, Zhang Bing is just Director Ma’s follower, studying beside him and helping Director Ma handle some miscellaneous matters.
, I learned a lot from Director Ma, and everyone has accumulated a certain amount of experience. I just want to get a project to design, produce results, and when it’s done, get an award or something.
On October 8, Zhang Bing followed Chen Lichun to Nanchen Village, Binhai County. Zhang Bing was a little dumbfounded. He knew that Chen Lichun had boasted yesterday. When he saw it on the spot, he was really bragging: the name on the business card was Binhai Machinery Processing Co., Ltd.
The company turned out to be a village-run enterprise, and I immediately felt like I was on a pirate ship.
The two brothers took a train from Yanjing to Lanshi, then transferred to a passenger bus and walked for more than an hour before arriving at Nanchen Village. Zhang Bing felt that this place was far away from the city, at least 20 kilometers away from the urban area of Lanshi.
; The industrial foundation is weak, and the companies I see along the way are all small and small; the villages and towns around Nanchen are all rural, and there is a lack of technology and human resources required for industrial development. In conclusion, there is no future for running a business here.
ah.
Now, Zhang Bing is sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the Chen family's new house. The knot under his buttocks is really uncomfortable. "Both Mr. Chen, to be honest, I really don't think much of this place. It is in a remote location and does not have the foundation for the development of large industry."
, how about we re-select a site in the urban area or suburbs of Lan City. Blue Steel in your city has been developing well in the past few years, and relying on Blue Steel, we should be able to start developing quickly."
"Gong Chen, I don't agree with your point of view. First of all, China now supports and strengthens township and village enterprises. Our townships have sufficient land resources and a blank sheet of paper to make big plans. If I guard Blue Steel in the urban area, let alone
150, even 15 acres of land cannot be obtained, and expropriation and demolition will kill you. Secondly, although there is a lack of industrial workers here, the surrounding villages are densely populated and the labor force is sufficient. I build a factory here not because I want to be a shady boss, but because I want to be a shady boss.
I want to lead the villagers to get rich and become well-off as soon as possible. Without farmers, there will be no stability, and without workers, there will be no prosperity. I also want to find a better way out for the rural economy. In the future, every family will have a labor force working here, and the workers will be stimulated by their wages.
The development potential of social consumption is no less than that of urban areas. Thirdly, 40 miles to the east is Binhai County, 50 miles to the north is Lanshi City, 140 miles to the west is Jishi, and Jishi Donggang is a major port in northern China.
Less than 120 miles away from my place, the Binlan Highway connecting to the national highway is being built in the north of our village. It is estimated that it will be opened to traffic this time next year. The Binlan Highway will connect to the coastal highway further west. In the future, a coastal expressway will be built, and the traffic will be quite large.
Convenience is not what you call a wilderness. This place is full of vitality and is a golden treasure land in the future."
Chen Lidong took a piece of chalk, talked and drew on the Eight Immortals Table, and painted a grand blueprint. Zhang Bing was astonished for a moment. Is this the younger brother Chen Lichun was talking about who is a primary school teacher? He actually made me, a master's student, speechless.
right!
"Okay, you are the boss, I am just making a suggestion. What are your plans for this machining project?"
"Gong Zhang, my factory is going to follow the idea of running in small steps and start with rolls, rollers and oil drill pipes. Why do we do these three? It is to match the needs of the industrial development around us. You see
, we have Blue Steel in the urban area, which mainly makes iron and steel. Here is the Nanyin Stainless Steel Factory, which mainly produces rolled pipes and wire rods. This road comes out of the urban area and passes through Fenglan County and our Binhai County.
Fenglan County has developed at least six steel rolling mills, mainly rolling rebars. These steel companies are the big markets for rolls. If you look at our Binhai County and Lanbai County in the east, the two counties have millions of acres.
Rice has an annual output of 500,000 tons of rice straw. In the past five years, two counties have used rice straw to process paper. Six or seven paper-making enterprises have been established. In the future, Samguo waste paper will be shipped from Donggang, Jishi City to further increase paper-making production capacity.
Taiwan's paper machine has at least more than 70 rollers of various types, each ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of yuan. This is the market. Let's talk about Binhai. This is the headquarters and oil production base of Binhai Oilfield. You know that with the rise of the automobile industry
and various industrial consumption, China's demand for oil is very large. The proven crude oil reserves in our area are 600 million tons, and the current annual crude oil production of Binhai Oilfield is 500,000 tons. It is said that the higher-ups have issued a mining plan, and the production capacity of Binhai Oilfield within 10 years
It will reach 2 million tons, and the tasks of exploration drilling and production drilling will be doubled, so drill pipes are also urgently needed." Chen Lidong talked eloquently again, this is the welfare of reborn people, Zhang Bing was confused again.
Zhang Bing mmmped for a while, I was speechless about the location of the factory, and the product positioning couldn't be said by you. "Well, your market research is pretty good, and it should be feasible to process these products. So how do you want to design the project?"
"Gong Zhang, it's your job to prepare the project design plan. I'm looking forward to hiring an expert like you to help. Come on, let's go to the production workshop and have a look."
"Has the workshop been built?" Zhang Bing was a little anxious. Director Ma was disgusted with the practice of designing and constructing at the same time, and so was Zhang Bing.
"It's not finished yet, but it's going to be built soon. You'll know if you go and take a look."
Several people came to the site of the workshop under construction and said that the construction was not completed, but the roof had been capped. When the poured pillars and ring beams were finished, they were ready to install the beams.
On the construction site, the county construction project manager was arranging for people to weld the roof beams. The roof beams were processed and manufactured outside. After being transported to the site, they were welded and rust-proofed. A little further away, Chen Limin directed the workers to build the walls of the dormitory.
, there is also a larger site that is being leveled.
Putting on his safety helmet, Chen Lidong led Zhang Bing into the workshop and said: "This workshop is 120 meters long and 40 meters wide. Each span is 10 meters. The height of the beam is 12 meters. The ring beams have been poured.
Bolts have been buried during pouring to prepare for the installation of the crane. In order to increase the load-bearing, a triangular load-bearing structure is adopted between the columns. It is no problem to install a 15t traveling crane. If the tonnage is large, load-bearing beams and load-bearing beams can be added.
Mr. Zhu and Mr. Zhang, this is a standardized workshop, which is enough to install all kinds of current machining equipment. Do you think it’s okay?”
Zhang Bing found that the design and construction of this kind of workshop are indeed good, that is, the large span and large space provide convenience for process design. The inverted triangular load-bearing beam takes up a certain amount of space, but the problem is not big. The current machining equipment can
Install it in. Compared with other projects I have come across in Blue City, this kind of building structure is really convenient for subsequent process design.
"Gong Zhang, I plan to arrange casting, forging, and heat treatment here to form some parts. Next, there will be a finishing workshop for turning, milling, grinding, and drilling. Finally, there will be a packaging workshop, and the rest will be used as a warehouse. The flat space outside will be used in the future.
What do you think of using the electric furnace as a production base for all kinds of special equipment we need?"
"It's not bad, do you have the drawings?" Zhang Bing has already approved this workshop in his heart. Looking at the entire site, here, more than a dozen of the standardized workshops that Chen Lidong said can be built. If lighting is not considered, more can be built.
Large size. Zhang Bing noticed the concept of "standardized workshop" mentioned by Chen Lidong. Standardized workshop generally refers to the standardization of workshop management and is rarely used in construction. Zhang Bing is also very interested in this concept.
Back in the office, sitting at the Banxian table, the project manager brought over drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and sections, but they were all drawn by hand, and the county construction had not yet used CAD.
Next, Zhang Bing discussed with Chen Lidong how to set up the casting workshop, forging workshop, turning workshop, heat treatment workshop, packaging workshop and warehouse, prepare to purchase and install the equipment, and how to arrange various hoisting and transmission equipment. At this time, Zhang Bing said,
Chen Lidong listened.
Basically, Zhang Bing said, Chen Lidong nodded in agreement, and then Zhang Bing wrote down some key things in his notebook.
However, the two brothers had a dispute over the equipment they were planning to purchase.
"Brother Zhang, are the equipment you listed okay? They are all produced by domestic manufacturers. Can't we buy imported ones? They are basically ordinary machine tools, and there are not many CNC ones. Brother, I will mention one thing about the purchased equipment.
, that means tall and high, high means high-end, if there is CNC, use CNC, it must be world-class equipment; big means grand, if there is a machining center, go to the machining center, if there are heavy machine tools, don't use those trivial things;
To go up means to go up the grade. On the premise of ensuring supporting facilities, try to purchase foreign equipment. I am not looking down on these domestic manufacturers. To be honest, our machine tool industry has only been developing for a short period of time. Compared with Sun Country and Sam Country, there are still many
Big gap.”
"Mr. Chen, I can check the equipment you mentioned, but it is not easy to purchase these equipment. First, we have import restrictions on foreign high-end equipment; second, the price of these equipment is too high. Although domestic tariffs have been reduced,
However, foreign manufacturers basically charge double the price to export to us; thirdly, the subsequent maintenance of these equipment, replacement of parts, system update, etc., the charges are ridiculously high, so you must be prepared."
"Brother Zhang, channels and costs are not big issues. Just make a list of equipment and I will find a relationship to order it. If you can't buy it, I will tell you and ask you to adjust the equipment list."
"Okay, I don't have information on world-class equipment. I have to go back to Yanjing to check the information and I'll give it to you in a few days."
At night, Zhang Bing was lying on the bed in the town guest house, unable to fall asleep. Tomorrow he needed to go back to Yanjing, go to Yanjing University of Science and Technology to collect and organize some information, and then report to Director Ma about the situation here.
Regarding this newly arrived place, he had both a sense of staleness from a backward era, a confusion that transcended reality, and a very contradictory feeling in his heart.
Intuitively, he really doesn't like this place. In his philosophy, industrial modernization must be based on big cities and rely on the technology, education, transportation and other conditions that big cities can provide to grow. However, listen to
After understanding Chen Lidong's idea, I felt that it was so reasonable. I felt inexplicably that it was standing in a new dimension and a new starting point on the path of promoting industrialization.
Chen Lidong's obsession with high-end equipment also made him curious. After more than ten years of hard work, he knew that international machine tool manufacturers blocked and discriminated against China. The imports into the country were basically high-end goods, and the truly leading lathes were not allowed at all.
