Chapter 233

"Forget it, old man, you don't need to cause this trouble." Lin Zhenhua said calmly when he heard Qiao Hai said that he was going to sue ALK.

Lin Zhenhua didn't know what the laws in Germany were like, and he didn't know whether Qiao Hai said he could win the lawsuit.But no matter what the final result is, this lawsuit will bring troubles to Hanhua Heavy Industry. I am afraid that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade do not want Chinese companies to file such lawsuits overseas.

In addition to worrying about trouble, Lin Zhenhua had another thought in his heart, which was a strong sense of self-esteem.Since ALK treats Chinese companies in such a discriminatory way, why does Lin Zhenhua bother to buy ALK equipment?Butcher Zhang died, and he didn't eat mixed-haired pigs. Could it be that the world wouldn't turn around without ALK?

"Old man, thank you, we don't need this electric stove anymore." Lin Zhenhua said, "It's a big deal, we just build one ourselves."

"Yes, we just need to build one ourselves." Ma Jie also chimed in.

After working with Lin Zhenhua for the past few years, Ma Jie also learned Lin Zhenhua's fearless personality, and felt that there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved.In fact, it is not impossible to build an electric furnace by yourself. As long as some key components such as graphite electrodes and argon blowpipe can be solved, the remaining problems will be very simple.

Qiao Hai looked at Lin Zhenhua and Ma Jie with admiration, nodded and said, "Young people are awesome. In the past few years, I have met more than one or two procurement officials from mainland China at equipment exhibitions. Skeleton ones are really rare.”

Lin Zhenhua was sweating profusely. Although Qiao Hai's words were a compliment to him and Ma Jie, they knocked down all Gao Zuxing's men.Lin Zhenhua also knows the virtues of the officials responsible for purchasing equipment. Although not to say that everyone is not good, there are not a small number of them suffering from schizophrenia.

"Mr. Qiao, you can't say that. Some officials may not have a problem of integrity, mainly because they don't know much about technology. In order to improve the level of domestic equipment, they should endure humiliation and be forced to bow their heads to others. Lin Zhenhua explained, family ugliness should not be publicized, some embarrassing things can be thrown away in the country, but it would be too embarrassing to throw it here to overseas Chinese.

Qiao Hai understood what Lin Zhenhua meant, he nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Lin's explanation is reasonable. Anyway, since you don't want this electric stove from ALK, I won't bother with them anymore. By the way, Mr. Lin, you just said that you can build one yourself, how sure are you?"

Wei Jingwen interjected: "I don't think it's too difficult. ALK's electric furnace has a relatively high level of automation and can achieve precise temperature adjustment. I thought about it, and I can completely solve the problem of the circuit. But the temperature measurement Components, high-power tubes, etc. are a bit troublesome, and they still need to be imported. These are not sensitive components, and should be available for purchase.”

Qiao Hai chuckled, and asked Lin Zhenhua: "Mr. Lin, since that's the case, I'll give you an old electric stove. Isn't it easier for you to remodel it directly on the old electric stove?"

"You gave us an old electric stove?" Lin Zhenhua's eyes widened. "Old man, what do you do?"

Qiao Hai said with a smile: "You will understand this question when you come to my place. How about it, are you all willing to sit in the humble house this time?"

Lin Zhenhua secretly smiled, this old man is really interesting, after wandering around for a long time, he still didn't give up the idea of ​​inviting everyone to be a guest.However, since Qiao Hai said that he could give them an old electric stove, it was worthwhile for them to take a look.

During the exhibition period, Lin Zhenhua and his party were not allowed to leave.After the one-day exhibition, Lin Zhenhua asked Gao Zuxing for leave, took all his entourage, and followed Qiao Hai to his house in a mighty way.Qiao Hai drove a commercial vehicle, pulled Lin Zhenhua and others into the car, and drove to the outskirts of Frankfurt.

"This is my factory, and my family lives here."

The business car was parked outside a small courtyard, Qiao Hai jumped out of the car, pointed to the courtyard and said to Lin Zhenhua and others.

"Joe's Scrap Metal Recycling Company." Ma Jie read the German on the nameplate outside the yard and translated to everyone.

"Scrap metal recycling?" Schuman muttered, "Isn't that the scrap yard?"

"Girl, you're right, I'm a trash collector." Qiao Hai said cheerfully, stepped forward to open the door, and led everyone into the yard.

As soon as they entered the yard, everyone knew that what Qiao Hai said was true, he was indeed a trash collector.I saw that the size of the yard was not small, and all kinds of scrap copper and iron were piled up in different categories in the yard. Several Asian-looking workers were dismantling an old machine tool there, removing the parts on it one by one. Throw it into a nearby bin.

"Don't move!" Seeing the machine tool, Ma Jie rushed up and shouted loudly.

Several workers were startled and looked at Ma Jie in surprise.Ma Jie ignored them, but groped for the machine tool with his hands, and said repeatedly: "My God, this is a high-precision grinding machine, how can you disassemble it with a hammer?"

"Mr. Qiao, what's going on?" Lin Zhenhua asked Qiao Hai.

Qiao Hai explained: "This is just a scrap machine tool. I bought it as scrap iron. I asked the workers to disassemble the parts, and then smelted them into steel ingots, and then sold them to the machinery factory as blanks for parts. My There are several electric furnaces in the factory, which are specially used to melt these metals. If you want to modify the electric furnace yourself, I will send you one that has been eliminated."

While they were talking, Ma Jie had looked up and down the grinder. He raised his head and asked Qiao Hai, "Mr. Qiao, you said this grinder is useless? Why do I think it's still quite intact. "

Qiao Haidao: "Its motor has burned out, the guide rails have worn out, and the accuracy has dropped significantly, so the original factory sold it to me as scrap iron."

Ma Jie said: "What, this is considered scrap iron? The motor is burnt out, just replace it. If it doesn't work, it's not too difficult to rewind the wire by yourself. As for the guide rail, it's even simpler. Make a new one and replace it. If it’s a brand new grinder like this, it will cost 10,000+ dollars. But if it’s repaired, even if it’s an imported guide rail, it won’t cost thousands of dollars, so why not repair it?”

Qiao Haidao: "This is in Germany. Labor in Germany is extremely expensive. The labor cost to repair this machine tool is enough to buy a new one. Therefore, no one will repair this old machine tool that has been eliminated. , are sold directly as scrap iron.”

"We want it!" Ma Jie couldn't help shouting, "Manager Lin, let's buy this grinder. I'll use my spare time to repair it, and I promise to make it look like new."

Lin Zhenhua stepped forward, held the handwheels on the grinder and turned them around a few times, nodded and said, "It's indeed still usable. It's a pity to be scrap iron."

After all, he turned his head and said to Qiao Hai: "Mr. Qiao, can you transfer this grinder to us? It is worthless in Germany. Let's take it back and repair it, but it can be of great use. .”

Qiao Hai nodded again and again: "It's not easy. With your spirit, why don't China prosper. Mr. Lin, if you are interested in this kind of old machine tool, I have more than one machine here. You see, I have dozens of them piled up in my warehouse, all of which were eliminated by various factories, if you can transport them away, I will give them all to you.”

"Really!" Ma Jie's eyes sparkled, "Mr. Qiao, take me to see it quickly."

In this group, except for Schumann, everyone else is a technical fan.Walking among the rubbish of Qiao Hai's house, everyone seemed to have walked into a treasure house, and all they saw were good things.Compared with the new machines at the equipment exhibition, these old machines are of course dirty and messy, and some are rusty, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are surprisingly cheap.

A CNC milling machine with a market price of more than 3 U.S. dollars, but the oil circuit system was damaged, was thrown in Qiao Hai’s yard as scrap iron. Qiao Hai said that the price he bought for this scrap milling machine was 200 U.S. dollars .Ma Jie patted his chest and told Lin Zhenhua that he could repair the milling machine at a cost of no more than 1000 yuan.

There are also two high-frequency electric furnaces, which were damaged somewhere, and are now lying quietly in the scrap iron pile.Qiao Hai said that if Lin Zhenhua likes it, he can take it away without spending any money.Wei Dongqi and Wei Jingwen went up to study for a long time, and found that the graphite electrode, blowpipe and control circuit were all intact.Wei Jingwen secretly estimated that just removing some key components on the control circuit would cost several thousand dollars.

In addition to the complete equipment, the small parts in the scrap iron pile are also eye-catching. Those fine bearings, ball screws and the like can be used as spare parts for imported equipment when they are brought back to China, but here, they are It was thrown casually on the ground, waiting to be smelted into steel ingots.

"They are all good things!" Wei Dongqi was full of praise, "If we can get back this kind of equipment, find a few old masters to disassemble it, remove the rust, re-oil it, and replace the damaged parts. The imported new equipment is inferior. As for our original domestic equipment, it is more than one grade better.”

"There are also these circuit boards. The components on them are all usable, and some components are not available in China." Wei Jingwen also said.

Lin Zhenhua turned back to Qiao Hai and said, "Mr. Qiao, if I bought everything in your yard, how much would it cost?"

Qiao Haidao: "These are all scrap iron, not worth much. What do you fancy, just take it away, what's the point of talking about money?"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "No, I must count the money with you. Mr. Qiao, what I fancy is not one or two, but all the things you have here, and even the things you can receive in the future .I would like to ask you to be a broker, responsible for purchasing waste equipment from German factories for us, what do you think?"
