Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 136 Machining Center! ! !

On the third day, Philips took the initiative to contact Lu Maoshi and others, saying that Wujiang Group could pay Philips CD patent fees in one go, but the price of patent fees needs to be increased.

Lu Maoshi and others went to the appointment and started the second round of negotiations. Philips proposed a price of 3000 million US dollars.

Hank Wells, president of Philips, said, "The one-time patent sublicense worth 3000 million US dollars is equivalent to buying CD technology and patents, which is very cost-effective for Wujiang Group!"

"Mr. Wells, the US$3000 million is only for buying patent licenses, not CD patents. If Philips is willing to sell CD patents, then Wujiang Group is willing to pay a high price to buy them! Hehe, Philips thinks that Wujiang Group's sales of CD games The quantity may be astonishing, so you sell us such a high price so that you can make up for the loss?" Lu Maoshi sarcastically said.

Hank Wells and others really think so. If Wujiang Group can only sell tens of millions of CD games, then Philips may not sell such a high patent licensing fee. The price is several dollars, and Philips is too embarrassed to call such a high price...

Lu Maoshi will not get used to these Dutchmen. Although CD is important, it is not necessary to use it.

Right now, only Wujiang Group is willing to try to use CDs as game storage media, unless Philips does not plan to promote CDs now, then it will definitely make compromises and concessions again.

Lu Maoshi grasped the other party's mentality tightly.

Besides, in 1987, was it not enough sincerity to buy a CD patent license with 2000 million US dollars?

CD does have great development potential, but no company is willing to spend so much money to buy CD patents.

However, after the Wujiang Group bought the CD patent, it can develop CD game consoles, VCD players, PC optical drives, CD players, etc... The profits are still quite large.

"Mr. Hank Wells, since there is a big difference in the price of CD patent authorization, let's skip it first. Let's talk about other things first. Wujiang Group intends to purchase a set of advanced CNC machine tool technology from Philips. I hope your company will give you a quotation as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, Lu Maoshi added, "Oh, by the way, I will go to DMG, Siemens, Julang, and Rhodes next. There is a Chinese saying It’s called ‘shop around’, which means that when buying something, you should compare the products of several companies, and then choose the best one!”

Hank Wells was overjoyed at first, but when he heard the back, a black line appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help cursing, "These Chinese are really cunning, it seems that they want to make a lot of money in CNC machine tool technology The idea of ​​a sum fell through!"

With a technology that is one or two generations behind, Philips can be sold to other companies as long as the starting price is given.

If you don’t earn this money, others will.

Especially Japan has caught up with Germany in the field of CNC machine tools.At this time, the Chinese government imported a large amount of CNC machine tool technology, and most of them cooperated with Japanese companies.

It would be foolish to hold back technologies that are a generation or two behind, and which may become worthless in a few years.

At present, Wujiang Group not only needs CD patent authorization, but also buys CNC machine tool technology. If the two are combined, Philips will always have an advantage over other companies.

Thinking of this, Hank Wells felt a little relieved.

Wujiang Group did send people to DMG, Siemens, CHIRON, and Rhodes to investigate, and at the same time, it is planning to recruit people from these companies.Precision technology talents from East and West Germany will be poached by Wujiang Group.

……

"Mr. Lu, Philips is willing to sell a five-axis linkage CNC machine tool machining center and gift Philips' CNC lathe technology from the 70s. The price is only 1850 million US dollars!"

On the phone, Hank Wells' voice came.

When Lu Maoshi heard the words, he couldn't help being a little excited.

"Mr. Wells, are you sure Philips is going to sell a five-axis CNC machining center?" He asked in disbelief.

"Of course it is!"

"Okay, Mr. Wells, I can already feel the sincerity of Philips, and I think we should return to the negotiating table immediately." Lu Maoshi said slightly excitedly.

It should be known that CNC machine tools are classified according to processing methods and technological uses, and are generally divided into ordinary machine tools and machining centers.

Ordinary machine tools usually refer to automatic machine tools that realize digital control in a process in the processing process, such as CNC milling machines, CNC lathes, CNC drilling machines, CNC grinding machines, and CNC gear processing machine tools.

The machining center is a CNC machine tool with a tool magazine and an automatic tool changer. It concentrates the functions of milling, boring, drilling, tapping and thread cutting on one device, so that it has a variety of processing procedures. means.Since the machining center can effectively avoid positioning errors caused by multiple installations, it is suitable for products with frequent product changes, complex parts shapes, high precision requirements, small production batches and short production cycles.

It is not difficult to see that the machining center is most suitable for the production of spare parts for lithography machines.

If there is this Philips five-axis CNC machining center, it will be of great significance to the research and development of Wujiang Microelectronics' lithography machine!

There are not many five-axis CNC machine tools in China, let alone a five-axis CNC machining center.

If it weren't for the present, China and the United States are still in the honeymoon period, and Philips would never dare to sell the processing center to Wujiang Group.

After Lu Maoshi finished the conversation, he immediately called Zhao Ye and told him that Philips planned to sell a five-axis CNC machining center.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he was a little shocked. Can a Chinese company buy a five-axis CNC machining center from abroad at this time?

Zhao Ye thought about it for a while, and thought that maybe it is really possible to buy a five-axis linkage CNC machining center.

In the previous life, China had the fastest development of machine tools during the ten-year honeymoon period between China and the United States.During this period, China not only obtained various advanced machine tools in the world, but also introduced more than 100 technologies of precision machine tools.Even when Japan exports high-end machine tools to my country, it will also send technical personnel to help my country realize production.

Some people may not believe it. Before China broke through this high-precision machine tool technology, there were only seven or eight five-axis linkage CNC machine tools in the country, all of which were imported in the 80s. Later, new machine tools could not be purchased. Therefore, the country cherishes these few machines extremely. Machine tools are all sealed with inert gas. To put it bluntly, if it is accidentally damaged, even a single screw cannot be repaired in China.

"No matter what, I have to buy this five-axis CNC machining center!!!" Zhao Ye said in a serious tone.

Lu Maoshi nodded heavily and said, "Okay, boss, I understand!"

The next day, Lu Maoshi came to Philips again. Before the official negotiation started, Lu Maoshi asked Philips to hand over the data of the five-axis CNC machining center to the expert group for review. After confirming that there was no problem, the negotiation was resumed.

"Mr. Lu, this five-axis linkage CNC machining center was produced in 1977. The production data and technologies are relatively advanced. It will help us study CNC machine tools and can be bought!" Zhou Huicheng, a member of the expert group, excitedly Said to Lu Maoshi.

Lu Maoshi nodded: "Okay, Zhou Gong, I got it!"

In the afternoon, Wujiang Group and Philips resumed negotiations.

In order to buy the processing center, Lu Maoshi and others did not entangle too much in terms of price.

In the end, it bought the CD patent license and Philips five-axis linkage CNC machining center for US$4200 million.

As for the ASML lithography machine company, Lu Maoshiti didn't mention it at all, so as not to cause complications, Rex Aiden, who is far away in Japan, will handle it himself.

Hank Wells expressed kindly that he could cooperate with Wujiang Group to develop CD game player equipment, but Lu Maoshi refused.

If jointly developed, Philips will naturally obtain some related patents.

Wujiang Group is fully capable of independent research and development, and may ask Philips for patent fees in the future.

……

America, Black House.

"Philips of the Netherlands sold a five-axis linkage CNC machining center to China Wujiang Group. What should we do about this matter? Do you want to restrict Philips from exporting this machining center?"

"Is that five-axis CNC machining center advanced?"

"Well, it's just a product of the mid-70s..."

"Now that China and the United States are in the honeymoon period, it is not appropriate to destroy the relationship between each other! The North seems to have moved recently and began to show favor to China. At this critical moment, we still try to win over China. Since this five-axis The linkage CNC machining center is a product of the mid-70s, and there is a 10-year gap from now, so there are no restrictions."

The dialogue in Heigong allowed Wujiang Group to buy back a five-axis linkage CNC machining center by chance. Although this machining center is a bit backward, it is extremely advanced in China.

The deal between Philips and Wujiang was quickly struck.

One month later, the machining center, the technical data of Philips CNC machine tools in the 70s, and the CD patent authorization documents were all brought back to China.

At this time, Tiangong Technology has become the top machine tool company in China by virtue of a five-axis linkage CNC machining center and a large amount of advanced CNC machine tool technical data, causing a sensation in the industry.

"Wujiang Group is indeed rich. It directly bought a five-axis linkage CNC machining center from abroad. With this machine, Wujiang Group can process many difficult and high-precision parts! Tiangong Technology, as a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, specializes in the development of CNC machining centers. The machine tool company seems to be on the rise!"

"The aviation and navigation departments have also paid attention to this matter, and will definitely reach a cooperation with Wujiang Group to entrust processing parts."

"I heard that Wujiang Group also obtained the technology of Philips' CNC machine tools in the 70s, which is awesome!"

"..."

After hearing the news, many domestic machine tool manufacturing companies were envious.

At this time, Tiangong Technology took the opportunity to recruit people. There are many machine tool manufacturing companies in China, but they are relatively scattered and the strength is not strong.

After a period of time, the Philips five-axis linkage CNC machining center was assembled in the factory of Tiangong Technology Company.

Academician Huang Kun, who came over after hearing the news, was very excited. Looking at this machine, he said with great joy: "With this guy, we can process the parts we need!"

At this time, Zhao Ye was standing beside a middle-aged man in military uniform. He said with a slight smile, "Boss Zhao, this Philips five-axis CNC machining center is more expensive than the few five-axis CNC lathes our country bought before." Advanced, we hope to cooperate with Tiangong Technology to process a batch of special parts!"

Zhao Ye smiled and nodded, "No problem at all."

Orders from the military are actually very lucrative, just look at those military industrial companies in the United States.

In the future, as the scale of Wujiang Group grows larger and more industries are involved, from a chip to a large aircraft, it is possible to cooperate with the military. This is an inevitable development of the enterprise.Could it be that, if someone asks you to cooperate, you dare to refuse?I'm too brave, I don't want to hang out in China...

At this time, the man in military uniform asked: "Tiangong Technology acquired Philips CNC lathe technology, when will it be able to manufacture CNC machine tools?"

Tiangong Technology only has this machine now, and it is difficult to process parts on a large scale. It may be able to meet the requirements of Wujiang Microelectronics Company to process lithography machine parts, but the requirements of the military boss are naturally not enough.

Zhao Ye thought for a while, but did not dare to give an exact time limit, and replied: "I don't know, it should be possible to manufacture some low-end CNC machine tools within two years. Philips is not a big benevolent company, it only gave us The advanced CNC lathe technology is very low-end. However, it is better than nothing. As long as we work hard to catch up on this basis, one day we can catch up."

In the 80s, many domestic machine tool companies introduced foreign CNC machine tool technology and were able to produce some low-end CNC machine tools, but high-end CNC machine tools were out of the question.

The difference between Tiangong Technology and domestic machine tool manufacturing companies is that the parent company is super, super, rich, and rich! ! !

Therefore, even the military is counting on Tiangong Technology to produce high-end CNC machine tools.

As the saying goes, money can make a ghost run the mill.

As long as you have money, you can climb the technology!

This is the power of banknotes!
