industrial overlord

Chapter 448 Product Planning
It is difficult for people today to understand the aggrievedness of China's industry back then.At that time, needless to say, established industrial countries such as Europe and the United States, even a rising country such as South Korea was enough to pose a serious threat to China in certain industries.

Lin Zhenhua is engaged in machinery. He knows that in real history, as far as the machine tool industry is concerned, China was still in a very backward state until the end of the 20s, especially in terms of CNC machine tools, which relied heavily on imports.However, some Korean machine tool companies are flourishing in China, crazily devouring China's machine tool market.

Since the beginning of the new century, the state has launched a series of measures to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry, which has reversed the passive situation of China's equipment industry.Before Lin Zhenhua crossed over, China had already entered the forefront of the world in many items of equipment technology, and was able to win a place in the international market.

Those things about those rabbits in those years are really unbearable to look back on.

In this fictional world, although Lin Zhenhua's time travel has brought about some changes, the scope he can influence is still limited after all.The Luzhong Machine Tool Factory, which was originally supposed to be acquired by Japanese capital, not only did not disappear at this time, but became a leader in the domestic machine tool industry. The look of strength.

However, it is far from enough to have only one Luzhong machine tool factory in a large country.If domestic equipment wants to break out of the encirclement, it must gather the strength of the whole country and go to sea together.Lin Zhenhua looked at the house number of a Korean machine tool company on the side of the road, and secretly planned a new plan in his heart.

Back at Xunyang's home, Lin Zhenhua had a short reunion with his family, and then went to the group headquarters to meet the group's executives.In fact, the family he met were father-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter Lin Fei.His wife, Yang Xin, has been busier than Lin Zhenhua since she concurrently served as the secretary-general of the Chemical Equipment Alliance.At this time, she was preparing for the completion ceremony of Jiangbei Petrochemical's 45-ton ethylene transformation project in Nanjing. Lin Zhenhua had to wait until she went to the ceremony to have the opportunity to meet her.

"Boss Lin is back."

"Little Lin has worked hard."

"Zhenhua, what have you gained from this trip?"

In the small conference room of the group headquarters, the senior executives of the group cheerfully greeted the dusty Lin Zhenhua.Lin Zhenhua shook hands with everyone one by one, and the meeting room was full of joy and harmony.

"This time, Zhang Gong and I went to Weihai to meet with Director Liu of the Navy and talked about some things. Some of them will have a relatively large impact on the development of our group. Here I will report to everyone." After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats, and Lin Zhenhua spoke to everyone straight to the point.

"The first question is that the navy has asked us to develop a gas turbine. According to the preliminary agreement between the two parties, the navy will provide us with the gas turbine information they have, and at the same time assign a Russian expert named Bules to come. Guide our work. In addition, several companies under the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee will also transfer some of their manufacturing technologies to us. Generally speaking, Hanhua Heavy Industry will take the lead to form a gas turbine project team. It will take 10 years In about time, we will come up with our first-generation gas turbine, which will be used to equip the Navy's key projects."

"The gas turbine is the jewel in the crown of the industry. If we can take this opportunity to win the technology of the gas turbine, in the future we can rely on this alone, and the annual output value of [-] billion will be no problem." The president of the chemical equipment company Manager Fang Yanwu said with emotion.

"This is indeed an important opportunity." Xiang Zhe, general manager of the group, also nodded in praise, "With this opportunity, we can get the relevant technologies accumulated in the military industry system for many years at no cost, which is of great value. I Agree with us to undertake this task.”

Dai Yubin, the general manager of the refrigeration equipment company, raised his hand and said: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Xiang, we have an unfeeling request. If we are engaged in gas turbines, can we also take into account the needs of our refrigeration equipment company. We are currently To develop large-scale central air-conditioning, according to the information we retrieved, the Japanese are already engaged in central air-conditioning technology that uses gas turbines to directly drive compressors. We have been hesitant to keep up with this trend. Now that the group has decided to engage in research and development of gas turbines, is it right? Can gas turbines for central air conditioning be included as a sub-item?"

Hanhua Refrigeration Equipment Company was the former Jiangnan Shihua Electric Appliance Factory, and its predecessor was Jiangnan Petrochemical Machinery Factory.From petrochemical machinery, to Jiangshi Electric, and now to Hanhua Refrigeration, this company has never been separated from refrigeration technology.Although in those years of making refrigerators, the factory abandoned large-scale equipment production technology.However, since Lin Zhenhua acquired it in the name of H&H in the United States, he has continuously promoted technological innovation. At present, in addition to the traditional business of household refrigerators, the factory also has two new businesses, refrigerator compressors and large-scale commercial refrigeration equipment. business direction.

In terms of refrigerator compressors, Lin Zhenhua had a very early layout, and later received technical support from Tiger Corporation of the United States. Today, Hanhua brand refrigerator compressors have become a well-known domestic brand, accounting for nearly one-third of the domestic refrigerator compressor market share. .For this item alone, the annual output value is more than 3 million.

Large-scale commercial refrigeration equipment is a product of another system, which includes central air-conditioning used in large buildings, refrigeration machinery used in large-scale cold storage, etc. The sales volume of such equipment is not large, but the price of each set is very high. It can be several million, or even tens of millions. If the cost of design, installation, commissioning and post-maintenance is added, its value cannot be underestimated.The most critical thing is that the threshold for household appliances and refrigerators is very low, and the profit margin is not large.Commercial refrigeration equipment is a high value-added product with huge profits.

Dai Yubin was not originally engaged in refrigeration equipment, but since he became the general manager of a refrigeration equipment company, he has been constantly recharging himself. He has also taken a group of managers and technicians to visit abroad several times. After returning, he began to plan a refrigeration equipment company. long-term plans.According to Dai Yubin's vision, household refrigerators will only account for a small part of the business structure of the refrigeration equipment company in the future, and the company's main business will focus on large-scale refrigeration equipment.For this idea, the group headquarters also very much agree.

Fang Yanwu said: "The technical difficulty of gas turbines for central air-conditioning is far less than that of marine gas turbines. I think it is very feasible to develop them as a transitional product. In this way, on the one hand, we can accumulate experience, and on the other hand, we can quickly form profitable products. Capable products, return R & D investment."

"That's a good idea." Lin Zhenhua said, "How about this, Lao Dai, you can find time to chat with Zhang Gong and listen to his opinions. If feasible, the group can support you."

"Okay!" Dai Yubin smiled.He has always trusted Zhang Yihua's level. In addition, Lin Zhenhua also said before that this is a military project, and with the guidance of Russian experts, there should be no suspense to produce a gas turbine for air conditioners. .

"Zhenhua, look, we have finalized the design of the steam turbine now, and the first batch of steam turbines have been put into trial operation in the renovation project of Jiangbei Petrochemical, and the response from the users is very good. Now there are more gas turbine projects, I think, Should we upgrade the original steam turbine business department directly to a formal steam turbine company?" Xiang Zhe said, as the general manager, he always thinks about business issues.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I have already thought about this matter on the road, and I have also communicated with Mr. Zhang. I think it is feasible to establish a steam turbine company. However, Mr. Zhang is a technician and can only be the chief engineer. We can't be the general manager, so we have to select a general manager. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

There are seven or eight suitable candidates, all young and middle-aged cadres who have worked in Hanhua for many years and gradually stand out.Everyone discussed with each other for a while, and after comprehensively weighing factors such as ability, character, and character, they selected a young cadre named Yang Chao.This person is originally from Hainan Province. After graduating from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Huaqing University, he went to the United States to get a doctorate in business management and came back.He worked in the group headquarters of Hanhua Heavy Industries for five or six years, and performed very well. This time, he took on the important task of establishing a steam turbine company with honor.

After talking about the gas turbine, Lin Zhenhua began to talk about the machine tool again. He said: "The navy has also put forward some requirements on the machine tool. I have passed these requirements to Lao Cen and Lao Ma."

When Lin Zhenhua was in the army, Cen Youjun was his platoon leader, so Lin Zhenhua called Cen Youjun "Platoon Leader Cen" for a long time.Time has passed, and now the group is getting bigger and bigger. Both of them are senior executives of the group. It seems inappropriate to call each other the platoon leader at the meeting, so Lin Zhenhua gradually changed his name, and called Cen Youjun the old man. Cen, but Cen Youjun's name for Lin Zhenhua has not changed, he still calls him Xiaolin.

Cen Youjun held a list in his hand and said: "I have seen these materials, and the requirements for our machine tool company are not low. You see, 1600 mm CNC vertical shaft compound grinding machine; Crankshaft drilling and processing CNC machine tools require no less than 7000 powered tools; 600 by 16mm four-head fixed beam gantry milling machine... none of them are easy things."

Xiang Zhe said: "Old Cen, you are right. The more demanding the product, the more we can hone our capabilities. Now we are facing a lot of competition in the field of machine tools. If we can use This batch of orders from the Navy has raised our technical level to a higher level, and our initiative will be much greater."

Cen Youjun nodded and said: "Old Xiang, I know this. I have discussed it with Lao Ma. No matter what, we must concentrate our efforts to produce this batch of products. Even if it is not for the company's profit, it is considered to support national defense. Construction, we are also duty-bound.”
