Chapter 356

Although our country is the largest steel producer in the world in later generations, with the total output accounting for more than half of the world, the production equipment is heavily dependent on imports.

Most of the plate rolling mills and hot strip rolling mills used come from SMS, the electric furnaces come from Danieli, the continuous casting machines come from VAI, the top equipment of large blast furnaces comes from Japan, and the electrical equipment is almost monopolized by Siemens...

These are not a one-off deal, and you have to find them for maintenance in the future.

If you don’t do anything, just ask you to ask for hundreds of thousands of travel expenses first, so that all their employees on business trips will live in a five-star hotel; for a job that can be done for 2 yuan, the asking price is 20... These are their routine operations.

If you find it expensive to find someone else to repair?Then there is a problem with this machine, and they will not be responsible; if they still refuse to accept it, they will directly threaten not to buy their equipment in the future.

Don't have too many overlord clauses like this.

When the price of steel is constant, the prices of production equipment, iron ore, and coke are in a contradictory relationship. That's why Yang Dongsheng attaches so much importance to the project of the Provincial Metallurgical Design Institute.

It's a pity that the technical level of that project is too low, and it's still a new product. Yang Dongsheng has been promoting it for so long, but he hasn't sold much.

In fact, for most of the [-]th century, the United States was the leader in the manufacture of various steel production equipment-after all, it was the world's largest steel producer for a long time.

The technologies of Japan's Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, Germany's SMS Siemag, and France's Cesim all come from the United States.

However, with the decline of its own steel industry, the manufacturing of steel production equipment in the United States has gradually declined since the 70s, either going bankrupt or reselling the factory to others.

Blau Knox Foundry and Rolling Mill Company was one of the three major heavy machinery companies in the United States at the time, and the other two were Wayne United Company and Mesta Company.

The reason why Wang Jianguo and the others sought Richard Williams was very simple. Yang Dongsheng got a lot of rolling mills this time, including products from Blau Knox.

The industrial industry is different from other industries. It is not something that can be figured out in a few days after buying a mobile phone.

Although our country has manufactured the world's largest die forging press with a pressure of up to 8 tons in later generations, in actual application, it is not as effective as the two old 5.5-ton die forging presses in the United States.

It's not that our equipment is not good, but that we lack experience in use.

These Yang Dongsheng also understand that the more talented technical workers and engineers, the better.

There was news from the country that although he offered a high salary, there were not many people who could drive CNC machines.

In this era, domestic CNC machine tools are not yet popular. Even if they offer high salaries, they have not recruited many people. Training from scratch will not quench their thirst. In 1986, my country only began to popularize nine-year compulsory education, and the education level of the people is too low.

"Mr. Williams, nice to meet you!"

During the conversation with Richard Williams, Yang Dongsheng learned that at this time, not only the three major heavy machinery factories in the United States were bankrupt, but also the steel manufacturing industry was in decline, and even the machine tool manufacturing industry was in decline. nearly half.

Yang Dongsheng was very interested in the news, and he promised Richard Williams to help him recruit staff with twice the salary, provided that he was willing to work in China.

"Thank you very much!" Richard Williams shook Yang Dongsheng's hand very excitedly.

The three major U.S. heavyweights can go bankrupt, but they still have to live.

Under the wave of large-scale de-industrialization in the United States, it is difficult for those in their line of work to find suitable jobs. Although they are going to China, the double salary level is enough to attract many people.

Looking at the back of Richard Williams going away, Yang Dongsheng said to Wang Jianguo beside him, "You said that like Wayne United, Mesta, Blau Knox, and those machine tool manufacturers, they have Didn't apply for a patent in China?"

"I don't think so!"

As far as Wang Jianguo knows, Wayne United and Mesta have no orders since the early 70s.

At that time, China was still engaged in sports, so how could they go to China to apply for a patent?

China only joined the "Paris Convention" for the protection of intellectual property rights in 1985. Among the three major heavy machinery companies, Blau Knox was the latest to withdraw from this industry. He completed the last set of rolling mills in 1983 and has not engaged in related work. How could it be Thinking of going to China to apply for a patent?
In particular, the US patent system implements the first-to-invent system, while the Chinese patent system adopts the first-to-file system. The patent systems of the two countries are quite different.

In the minds of Americans, Asia, namely Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, still looks good, while other places are deserts.

"Contacting domestically, we plan to set up research and development centers in Huajing, Shanghai, Jinmen, Guangdong, Hangzhou, and Nanjiang, as well as high-end manufacturing joint processing centers. The industries include machine tools, engines, bearings, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, carbon fibers... and We will hire a large number of foreign experts, and in order to facilitate the lives of the experts, we need to establish a separate community!" Yang Dongsheng glanced at Wang Jianguo, sold the blast furnace, rolling mill and other equipment, and Yang Dongsheng happened to have a lot of money, "We want to buy land!"

Foreigners can go to China to grab our patents, why can't we grab theirs?Anyway, Yang Dongsheng didn't expect to sell his products all over the world.

In the future, China will be the world's largest metallurgical industry center and the largest machine tool consumer, accounting for half of the world.

Such a big market is enough for Yang Dongsheng to flutter.

With American technology, Yang Dongsheng's previous small workshop products can reach the international advanced level in the 70s.

Yang Dongsheng's requirements are not high, as long as he occupies a quarter of the domestic market in the future, he will also be a giant with a share of more than ten percent of the world market.

And regardless of whether these projects can be completed, as long as this real estate project can be completed, Yang Dongsheng will make a lot of money.

"I understand!" Wang Jianguo walked away quickly.

After Wang Jianguo left, Yang Dongsheng said to George Wilson, "Help me find a suitable lawyer, I will sue the US government!"

Yang Dongsheng figured it out, even if he can't win the lawsuit, even if someone jumps out before the US government, Yang Dongsheng must at least express his attitude.

The next night, Yang Dongsheng received a call from Shen's Iron and Steel Works.

"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry to disturb you so late!"

"It's okay, I'm not asleep yet!"

"Mr. Yang, if you have something to say, I'll just say it straight. I heard that you have a batch of blast furnaces you want to sell?"

"That's right, it's a batch of old blast furnaces from the U.S. Steel Company and Bethlehem Steel Company. Although they are all second-hand equipment, they are in good condition! If Mr. Shen is worried, you can bring someone to take a look!"

"This... Mr. Yang, can you disclose some more specific information?"
