Three days later, everyone on the Endeavor disembarked. Most of the people stayed on board for three full days to complete the test and inspection of the all-diesel combined power plant before calling it a day and disembarking to rest ashore. This included the seventy-year-old
There are two old men, Yang Zhiqian and Nian Haihong, who are in their sixties, and of course the technical backbone they lead.
As the head of the manufacturing plant of Quanchai United Power Plant, Nian Haihong is in the best mood. She is always smiling and has her chin slightly raised.
Who is engaged in scientific research does not want to be an academician, but becoming an academician is too difficult. It is so difficult that Nian Haihong, a leading figure in the field of domestic internal combustion engine technology, has not been able to do so.
But now, Nian Haihong saw a glimmer of light.
After the Quanchai combined power plant is finalized, it is possible for him to become an academician.
Of course he is happy.
After arriving at Qindao, it’s not far to Jinan, just over 300 kilometers by car.
When you come to Shandong, of course you have to visit Jichai General Plant, the only power system manufacturing plant under the Dongfeng Group.
Zhu Yingjie and Yang Zhiqian both decided to return home directly from Jinan after visiting Jichai General Factory. Yao Yuan readily agreed to this and agreed to arrange the return trip.
The convoy sent by the Concierge Department's office in Qindao picked up these dozens of people and headed to Jinan. The last time Yao Yuan dealt with overseas labor dispatch matters, he also went to Jinan from Qindao, so he was already familiar with the journey.
In order to avoid those complicated formalities, Yao Yuan did not notify anyone in the local government, and the motorcade quietly drove into the Jichai Main Factory before dark.
After settling down for the night, Yao Yuan was preparing to have a good sleep when Lin Xiaohu came over to report and said with a strange expression, "A Yuan, Academician Yang wants to see you, and the elder is also here."
"Oh?" Yao Yuan was surprised.
Even if Yang Zhiqian did not support the trend of his disciples, he would not express opposition, otherwise he would not lead the team here in person.
Except for the electric propulsion system, they were shown everything that could be seen on the Endeavor. After visiting the Jichai Main Factory, Yang Zhiqian's team went back home. Yao Yuan would follow up on what the Chen family would do next, but Yao Yuan would not do it because
For this reason, shipbuilding industry is set to a certain standard - shipbuilding industry is an enterprise owned by the whole people. Simply put, it belongs to the people of the whole country, not to a certain person or a small group.
Yao Yuan carried it very clearly.
Putting on their thin coats, Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu came to the small reception room. Sure enough, Nian Haihong was talking to Yang Zhiqian. The tea on the coffee table showed that they had been talking for a while.
Lin Xiaohu closed the door and stood guard outside. At the door of the room not far away, he saw Wang Jianqi and Zheng Lin looking furtively this way. He walked towards it, and Wang Jianqi and Zheng Lin retreated into the room.
Lin Xiaohu then gave up.
In the small reception room, Yao Yuan continued to make tea for the two masters.
Nian Haihong said, "Xiao Yao and Academician Yang want to cooperate with Jichai General Plant on several heavy-duty power system projects."
Yao Yuan had already figured it out on the way here. Yang Zhiqian, who was helpless, most likely wanted to take this opportunity to change camps. Yao Yuan welcomed this. For a leader in the field like Yang Zhiqian, whichever side he leans towards will have greater technical advantages.
.
Yao Yuan said, "I welcome it with both hands, as long as there is no resistance from Academician Yang's side."
Yang Zhiqian heard what he meant.
Yang Zhiqian smiled and said, "Things are not as complicated as you think."
Nian Haihong explained, "Xiao Yao, Lao Yang is an academician. What can Shipbuilding Industry do to him? What can those people from Lao Chen's family do to him? You are thinking too much."
Yao Yuan was stunned and suddenly realized that this was indeed the truth.
Academician represents the highest academic status, and the status is so transcendent that it has transcended the limitations of factional ideas.
"My incompetent disciples are really worrying. I am seventy this year. I can only bring one more group of students, but I can only bring one more group. I can't control them." Yang Zhiqian sighed softly.
With.
As a teacher, in the final analysis, you cannot worry about your disciples.
Once a teacher, always a father. Teachers after undergraduate degree are really similar to their parents. How can a teacher not think about the students? Wang Jianqi and others are the last batch of students Yang Zhiqian brought. Of course he hopes to have
A successful end to one's educational career.
But now, he decided to accept another group of students as closed disciples.
It’s self-evident why this academician who was planning to take over the business came up with the idea of bringing in another group of students.
Yao Yuan felt very ashamed and said, "It is my villain's heart that judges the gentleman's belly."
"Our idea of doing scientific research is actually quite simple. Xiao Yao, you are a mechanical engineering expert with great achievements." Yang Zhiqian said.
Obviously, Nian Haihong has already introduced some of Yao Yuan's situation to Yang Zhiqian.
Yao Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking, I just brought forward the achievements of my forties in my previous life. He suddenly thought of Liu Mingwei and asked tentatively, "Mr. Yang, I don't know what requirements you have for the last batch of students."
."
"Do you have any recommendations?" Yang Zhiqian asked with a smile.
Yao Yuan said, "Actually, you have seen Liu Mingwei, a naval electrical expert in Mr. Zhu's team, who analyzed the reason why the Endeavor's acceleration performance is better than that of ordinary ships with all-diesel combined power units. He has a very high understanding."
Obviously, Yang Zhiqian already knew the secret of Endeavor's power system from Nian Haihong.
Yang Zhiqian shook his head and said, "I know Liu Mingwei. This young man can't be my student. It's not that I don't want to, but that he doesn't want to."
"Xiao Yao and Liu Mingwei are the only young experts in China who have chosen to specialize in naval electrical research, and they are now members of the army." Nian Haihong explained.
Yao Yuan was surprised, "Are you an active soldier?"
Yang Zhiqian nodded, "He applied voluntarily. The army lacks technical talents and is highly coveted. He is treated as a typical high-tech talent. In the final analysis, it is Liu Mingwei's personal choice. He now specializes in ship electrical. From the perspective of personal growth and technological development, let
It’s not appropriate for him to switch to studying power systems.”
"That's it." Yao Yuan understood.
Yang Zhiqian said with a smile, "If suitable candidates are recommended to me at any time, I can still take care of four or five students and still have the energy."
Yao Yuan came from Xihai University of Technology, and of course he had many classmates who were engaged in scientific research. Yang Zhiqian thought so, and treated Yao Yuan as a favor. Of course, in the final analysis, it still depends on whether the person recommended has the potential to study with the academician.
After talking for a few words on this topic, Nian Haihong said, "Xiao Yao, Academician Yang would like to know about Jichai General Plant and the situation in the group's business territory. Please introduce it."
Nian Haihong is still the director of the factory, but he has gradually separated from specific affairs and serves as a steadfast anchor. Of course, he is most familiar with Jichai General Factory. However, in the business map of Dongfeng Group, which direction Jichai General Factory will develop in the future
Yao Yuan knows the position and role best, so he simply introduces them all.
The academician team took the initiative to ask for cooperation. This was a pie-in-the-sky thing. Of course, Yao Yuan was positive and happy.
Yao Yuan sorted out his words a little and said, "Jichai General Plant plays the role of the only heavy-duty diesel power system manufacturer in the Dongfeng Group's industrial territory."
This sentence is his strategic positioning for the Diesel Machinery Factory.
"As of now, Jichai General Plant has basically covered diesel engines of all power levels. It plans to build four major engine production bases in Jinan, Wuhan, Shanghai, and Nangang. Currently, the one in Nangang has been put into production, and has been built in Shenyang, Chengdu, and Nangang.
Three major technology R&D centers have been established, and currently the Nangang Technology R&D Center has been completed.”
"The 190 diesel engine produced by Jichai has become a power generation system host favored by oil field customers. Three months ago, he led a team to participate in the Frankfurt Industrial Exhibition. In three days, he won orders of more than 50 million US dollars, most of which were
Purchase the 190 diesel engine. This product has now been formed into a series, and Jichai has decided to extend and improve this diesel engine as its main product."
After a pause, Yao Yuan talked about the part that Yang Zhiqian was most concerned about. He said, "The Quanchai combined power plant was jointly developed by the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences and Jichai General Factory. Jichai participated in the development work and is also the only manufacturer. Both parties have signed
The agreement is to jointly develop all-diesel combined power plants, and the scope of future cooperation will be expanded to diesel-gas combined power plants, etc."
"Chunfeng Academy of Science and Technology is not engaged in operating business, and its sources of income rely on technology licensing fees, patent royalties, etc. Therefore, new power systems, including Quanchai combined power units, are all operated by Jichai Diesel General Plant."
Yao Yuan recalled for a while, looked at Nian Haihong, and said, "Last year's sales of Jichai General Factory seemed to be 1.5 billion Huaxia coins? I didn't have time to look at the statistics for the first half of this year."
"Sales in the first half of this year have already reached 1 billion." Nian Haihong said with a smile.
It is certain that we will break the 2 billion mark this year, because there is a Frankfurt Industrial Show in the first half of the year, and most of the production capacity is used for export. In the second half of the year, as export orders are gradually completed, the accumulated domestic orders will explode.
Almost a year's worth of domestic orders were concentrated in the second half of the year.
In addition to the second Jichai engine manufacturing plant located in the Nangang Baojun Automobile production base being put into operation, the production bases in Wuhan and Shanghai are still under construction.
In order to solve the problem of production capacity, Jichai General Factory plans to build another production base like the second factory in Nangang that is attached to an industrial park and can be put into production quickly. The initial choice is to locate it in Changchun.
As a result, after the local government learned about this, they came to Jichai General Factory overnight to persuade them to build a new production base in Jinan. Nian Haihong had ignored the specific affairs and avoided it. The new generation of factory leaders said matter-of-factly that the local
The industrial supporting facilities are already saturated and can accommodate another production base.
Before being acquired by Nanfang Industrial, Jichai Power Plant was a useless piece of land in the hands of the local government. It would be a pity to throw it away. It would not be of much use if it were kept. The only land that used to be the main plant was the land where the main plant was located. It would be best to sell it for real estate development.
Nian Haihong had countless fights with the local government over this matter.
Nowadays, the situation has changed. Not only is Jichai not required to move to the suburbs, but more land has been allocated in the surrounding areas for Jichai General Factory to build new living quarters.
To be fair, the location where Jichai's main factory is located is no longer suitable for industrial production. This is the trend of urban development.
In order to allow Jichai General Plant to keep its new production base in Jinan, the local government set up a special work team and selected a large piece of land near the train station. The government stepped in to carry out the demolition and completed seven connections and one leveling.
At present, there are very few governments that can achieve three connections and one leveling, let alone seven connections and one leveling. This shows that the local government is very determined.
The seven connections include water supply, drainage, electricity, communications, access, gas, and heat. One level refers to the leveling of the site.
These infrastructure constructions are very expensive.
After comprehensive consideration and feeling the sincerity of the local government, Jichai General Plant finally decided to build a fifth production base in Jinan to mainly produce the 190-type diesel engine series. This solved the production capacity problem.
After listening to Yao Yuan's introduction, Yang Zhiqian was very emotional. He said, "Jichai General Plant is undoubtedly the largest and most technologically advanced power system manufacturing enterprise in China."
"There is a price." Yao Yuan said matter-of-factly, "The current main sales product of Jichai General Plant is the 190 diesel engine. In order to promote the product and compete with similar products from Germany and Japan in the domestic market, we have adopted a targeted phased approach.
Payment model.”
"Instalment payment?" Yang Zhiqian didn't know much about finance.
The installment payment model is popular in the West, but in China in the 1990s it was still a high-end and mysterious consumption and sales model.
Yao Yuan said, "We chose fishing boat power as a breakthrough. As the controlling shareholder, Southern Industrial acquired several medium-sized shipyards on the eastern coast. Then we cooperated with Shenzhen Development Bank to launch an offshore fishing boat that can be purchased in installments."
"This kind of fishing boat must use a 190 diesel engine as the power system. The fishing boat can get the fishing boat by paying 30% upfront, and the remaining payment can be repaid within a period of 12 months to 36 months, with an interest of only 2%."
Yang Zhiqian immediately thought of the horror of this model.
If the public has 10,000 yuan, one set of 190 diesel engines can be purchased. If this payment method is adopted, at least 3 sets can be purchased.
But he is not a financial expert, so he can only think of these.
Yao Yuan continued, "The other way is to only target the 190 diesel engine itself. For example, if you already have a fishing boat and want to replace the engine, we provide package installation and a free three-year warranty. You also only need to pay 30% of the price.
The balance must be paid within 12 months.”
Through these two methods, two years later, the 190 type became a diesel engine commonly used by offshore fishing boats along the eastern coast, initially suppressing similar products from Germany and Japan.
Yao Yuan said, "The profit model of Jichai General Plant is relatively single, and most of the profits are generated by the 190 diesel engine series, which is very unhealthy. After the Quanchai combined power unit is finalized, it will become the second main product of Jichai General Plant
To operate and form a series of products with international competitiveness, Mr. Yang, cooperation with you is very critical."
Yang Zhiqian admired Yao Yuan's plan. He said, "You have already planned the civilian route of the Quanchai combined power plant. My coming here is just the icing on the cake."
