Chapter 35 You Can't Really Don't Without Yang Ling
Because neither Wang Bin nor Wu Jun knows much about technology.
In the entire factory, apart from Su Jiayong, the one who knows the most about technology is Chen Wei.
Now Su Jiayong said that there was something wrong with the steel refined by Wang Bin. Wang Bin definitely didn't believe it, so he asked Chen Wei.
Chen Wei picked up the steel block and took a look. The entire steel block was dark black instead of silvery black as it should be, and the gloss was also very poor.
This shows that the quality of the steel is not good and there are many impurities in it.
Chen Wei's heart skipped a beat. The steelmaking was fine yesterday, so why would this problem occur today?
Chen Wei quickly went to the returns yard to check.
Wang Bin also walked over.
All the steel refined today is piled here.
Not only has the steel been successfully refined, but it has also been rolled and turned into rebar.
Su Jiayong also walked over, looking at the steel materials in the goods yard, frowning.
Of course Su Jiayong knew that Wang Bin used scrap steel to refine second-grade steel for sale.
As long as these steel materials can meet the physical properties, even if they are lower than the national standard, there will be no safety accidents. Su Jiayong feels that it is not easy for him to interfere in this matter.
But today.
The steel all over the floor does not need to be subjected to mechanical testing at all. At first glance, it is the kind of crude steel that is completely unusable and is just better than scrap steel.
Even if this kind of steel is sold at a low price, construction bosses would not dare to buy it.
Because we know very well that after the steel is laid and the concrete is poured to bear the load, whether it is used as floor slabs, ring beams, or column heads, they will crack.
House collapse is a high probability event.
These bosses definitely want to make money, and they also want to save costs, but no one will risk their lives to pay for the cost of terminating the contract.
Su Jiayong sighed, not knowing what to say.
It's okay now. Scrap steel was not refined into fine steel. So much manpower and material resources were spent on refining it into such a pile of rotten iron.
Not to mention, the main reason is that all the steel-making furnaces were destroyed.
Although only one steel-making furnace exploded just now, based on Su Jiayong's professional judgment, all steel-making furnaces should be out of service.
Even having it repaired is very difficult.
Su Jiayong was a little lucky that he was not involved.
Otherwise, if the county holds him accountable, he will not be able to escape.
However, Su Jiayong has some worries and regrets.
Jiangcheng Steel Plant was not very profitable to begin with. As a result, most of the steel-making furnaces were broken and there was no way to make steel.
From now on, even if someone comes to Jiangcheng Steel Plant to place an order, Jiangcheng will not be able to complete the order just now.
Su Jiayong knew very well that Jiangcheng Steel Plant was doomed!
He must find a way to find a new home. Otherwise, what should he do if Jiangcheng Steel Plant goes bankrupt?
Su Jiayong suddenly thought of something Yang Ling said when he was in the factory.
Strictly control the proportion of steel furnaces used for refining scrap steel.
Moreover, Su Jiayong was very surprised. Why was there no problem refining scrap steel for a day when Yang Ling was at the factory, but then there were problems as soon as Yang Ling left?
Su Jiayong suspected that these people were probably too hasty and did not follow Yang Ling's method of refining steel.
Chen Wei was completely stunned.
Although his ability to identify steel is not as good as Yang Ling and Su Jiayong.
But the steel on the ground looks like completely substandard scrap steel at first glance.
It’s just that its impurities are less than those of scrap steel raw materials.
There are nearly 20 tons of steel in the stockyard, which means that these 20 tons of steel are basically wasted.
"This...how is this possible?"
Chen Wei couldn't believe his eyes.
Because a few days ago, after Chen Wei determined that he could refine inferior quality steel, he did not check the quality of the product, but handed the task to Shi Gang.
If Shi Gang had some sense of responsibility, he would not have made such a major mistake.
Liao Yuanshan's truck would come over at night to pick up the steel.
Now Jiangcheng Steel Plant has refined a pile of scrap steel that cannot be used at all.
How to deliver?
Chen Wei had no choice but to find Shi Gang quickly.
Shi Gang was still a little confused at this time.
Chen Wei asked sternly: "I asked you to pay attention to the quality of steel, how on earth did you pay attention to me?!"
Shi Gang was still a little confused when he looked at such a pile of steel.
He said: "Director Chen, is there any problem with this steel? Isn't it just piled here according to your requirements?"
Shi Gang thought Chen Wei was blaming himself for not letting the workers stack the steel.
Hearing Shi Gang say such words, Chen Wei was completely speechless.
He finally knew that Shi Gang had been fishing in the factory for so long.
I couldn't even tell whether the steel was good or bad, so I thought this pile of scrap steel was of high quality.
Chen Wei lost his temper completely and looked at He Wenhui and Wang Bin awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Chen Wei still felt that the steel had not been refined successfully and that it would be enough to re-refine it.
There is no need for the factory director to be so angry.
At this time, Wu Jun heard that something happened in the factory and hurriedly came from home.
When he heard that the dozens of tons of steel used for calligraphy practice had all become scrap steel, they could not be used at all.
My heart skipped a beat.
After Wang Bin learned about this situation, his blood pressure soared extremely.
I almost fainted.
What he cares about now is not whether this pile of steel can be used, but what went wrong with the refining of the steel.
Wang Bin quickly stopped He Wenhui and asked He Wenhui and Chen Wei to immediately organize workers to re-smelt steel according to the method they mastered last time.
Let’s confirm whether it was due to workers’ mistakes that led to the failure of this batch of steel refining, or whether it was because the method He Wenhui and the others mastered simply didn’t work.
If it is the former, then Wang Bin feels that he can still be saved.
He could tell Liao Yuanshan and try to deliver the goods two days late, even if he couldn't make any money on this batch of steel.
But if it's the latter, it's because the method of practicing just now that He Wenhui mastered simply doesn't work.
Then Wang Bin felt that he was finished.
On the one hand, it is because he has invested a lot of money in refining scrap steel, including the transformation of steel-making furnaces and signing contracts with some small steel mills to purchase large amounts of scrap steel. The most important thing is that he has signed contracts with many bosses such as Liao Yuanshan.
The supply contract also includes liquidated damages.
If the goods cannot be delivered on time, the compensation alone can make Wang Bin completely bankrupt or even go to jail.
Wang Bin immediately said: "Hurry up and re-refine a furnace of steel!"
Because there are so many impurities in scrap steel, it causes great damage to the steel-making furnace.
And in order to save the cost of steelmaking, technicians and workers do not follow standard procedures during the process of refining scrap steel.
Because if you follow the standard steps, you will lose money.
Therefore, the entire refining steps and methods are completely in accordance with Yang Ling's method.
Listening to what Wang Bin said, Su Jiayong quickly stopped and said: "Director Wang, the top priority now is to check whether the equipment is intact!"
"If these blast furnaces break down, it will be very dangerous to make steel now, and the entire steel making furnace may be destroyed!"
The reason why Su Jiayong dared to deny Wang Bin's behavior in front of Wang Bin was actually because of Jiangcheng Steel Plant.
If the remaining steel-making furnaces that did not explode were only slightly damaged, then timely inspection and timely repairs may be possible.
Now Wang Bin wants to continue refining scrap steel, which is quite dangerous!
Wang Bin is already furious about this!
He has invested 100,000 yuan in equipment, and there is a breach of contract clause in the cooperation agreement signed with Liao Yuanshan.
In addition, he spent almost all of his savings to purchase scrap steel from various small steel mills.
If scrap steel cannot be used as raw material to refine crude steel here, then Wang Bin will really be desperate.
Wang Bin was so furious that he ignored Su Jiayong and immediately ordered He Wenhui: "Hurry up and do it!"
He Wenhui was also shocked.
The technology for refining steel was stolen from Yang Ling.
The refining was successful when Yang Ling was around. Why did it suddenly stop working when Yang Ling left?
Moreover, the most important catalyst in the steelmaking process was produced by a chemical factory in the world that specialized in catalysts after Shi Gang stole it.
Now that the technology is available, so are the catalysts.
Why can't it be successfully refined?
He Wenhui was sweating profusely, and he immediately arranged for workers to re-refining it.
This time He Wenhui stayed in the production workshop, watching the factory workers' operations at every step.
In order to avoid operational errors, Peng Wenhui immediately returned to the office and took out the steelmaking operation steps that he had recorded in detail.
At 7:00 pm, Liao Yuanshan’s team came over to pull steel.
Wang Bin had no choice but to call Liao Yuanshan and ask Liao Yuanshan for a few days of grace.
Wang Bin said on the phone: "Mr. Liao is really sorry. There are some special circumstances in the factory today, so the delivery time will be later. Let's see if we can extend it for two days."
After hearing the call from Wang Bin, Liao Yuanshan was furious.
The most important reason why he was able to take over the resettlement housing project in urban villages was that his prices were very low in terms of steel costs.
Yu Laosan's price was the same as mine, but because the relationship was not as strong as mine, the project was not achieved.
According to the county's order, the urban village resettlement housing project involves people's livelihood and must be completed as soon as possible.
If the house is not built within the stipulated time and arouses the anger of the people, big trouble will occur.
So after receiving the call, Liao Yuanshan was furious.
"Director Wang, what do you mean by this? You made it very clear when we signed the agreement. Are you sure you can supply me with goods on time?!"
"You also know that I have to meet the construction deadline. If there is no steel, all my workers will be stopped there and there will be no way to carry out the next step of the work."
"The worker doesn't care whether your goods arrive or not. He pays based on the number of days. Aren't you a waste of money for me?!"
After all, Liao Yuanshan has been in the society for so many years, and his words are very serious, not intimidating but angry.
Wang Bin was sweating profusely after hearing this, and quickly explained: "Mr. Liao, I promise you, you will be lenient today, and you won't be the same next time!"
"I'll give you another 200 yuan discount for the first batch of steel you want. That's 1,300 yuan per ton. I really don't make any money!"
Hearing Wang Bin's assurance of patting his chest, Liao Yuanshan relaxed and said: "Okay, I'll give you two more days at most. If I can't get the goods after two days, don't blame me for being rude!"
Liao Yuanshan's words were threatening Wang Bin.
On the road, Liao Yuanshan's strength is definitely not as good as Yu Laosan.
But in this era, those who can do business and make money more or less still have their own group of people.
If Liao Yuanshan still cannot get the goods after two days, he will not rule out asking Wang Bin for compensation in the contract, and may also use violence.
Wang Bin breathed a sigh of relief and promised repeatedly: "The day after tomorrow, I guarantee that I will be able to provide steel as required the day after tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Bin didn't have time to have dinner and continued waiting in the production workshop.
Because the first furnace of steel will be refined soon.
The atmosphere in the entire production workshop was extremely depressing.
He Wenhui and Chen Wei were already sweating profusely.
Wu Jun also sat slumped in his chair, unable to imagine what would happen if the steel refined from this furnace of molten iron still failed to meet the requirements.
Then Wu Jun's investment is finished.
When purchasing equipment, Wu Jun invested 50,000 yuan. Later, when purchasing raw materials, Wu Jun invested another 50,000 yuan under Wang Bin's instigation.
Wu Jun usually loves gambling and is greedy.
So basically you use as much as you earn.
In addition to Wu Jun's entire savings, he also borrowed 30,000 yuan from outside for the 100,000 yuan.
Wu Jun kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling very anxious.
Thinking of Yang Ling, who was vicious and full of tricks that night.
Wu Jun suddenly thought about how someone as smart as Yang Ling could leave such a big loophole so that the workers in the steel plant could easily steal the relevant steelmaking technology.
Thinking of this, Wu Jun's whole body went limp and he couldn't even stand up.
Wu Jun now has no choice but to wait here like Wang Bin. He Wenhui asked the workers to be careful and strictly follow the refining steps to make steel that can meet the standards.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the molten steel came out of the furnace.
Su Jiayong did not go back to rest. He was very worried about the safety of the steel-making furnace.
This furnace of molten steel has indeed come out.
But according to He Wenhui's on-site observation of the situation of the steelmaking furnace.
It is very likely that there has been a major problem with the steelmaking furnace.
This also shows that the steelmaking method arranged by He Wenhui is completely wrong.
But Su Jiayong could only let out a long sigh. He knew that in this situation, he had no right to speak at all.
After cooling immediately, it enters the rolling mill process.
Soon the first batch of rebar was refined.
At 3:00 in the morning, Wang Bin's eyes were already red.
He looked at the rebar handed over by He Wenhui and felt that something was very wrong as soon as he saw the color.
The color of this rebar is exactly the same as the batch in the morning, showing a very dirty jet black color.
This may very well indicate a problem. The steel still has a lot of impurities and cannot meet the requirements for use at all.
But Wang Bin didn't dare to give up. He had many possibilities.
Maybe it's because the light in the production workshop is too dark, so the steel is this color.
Or maybe it’s because my eyes are deceived?
Wang Bin immediately ordered He Wenhui and Su Jiayong, "Hurry! Go and test the mechanical properties!"
