Born In England

In the box of an upscale restaurant.

Li Lin, Li Er, and Li Biao met here with Spike, the production supervisor of the Royal Liverpool Machinery Shipbuilding Branch.

"Mr. Spike, this is my boss Li Lin." Li Er introduced to Spike.

"Hello, Mr. Spike." Li Lin extended his hand to the other party with a smile.

Looking at such a young Li Lin, Spike also smiled and shook hands: "Li Lin? Are you the owner of the No. 5 perfume?"

"Huh? Mr. Spike has heard of me?" Li Lin was slightly surprised.

"My wife visited the Fifth Fragrance Contest that day. She is also a big fan of No. 5 perfume. No. 5 perfume is really good!" Spike laughed.

To be honest, he didn't even think that the boss in front of him who was looking for him to customize the machine was the boss of No. 5 Perfume!

"Thank you." Li Lin smiled slightly.

After the two sides were polite, they finally entered the topic.

"Mr. Spike, I want to customize a machine for me through you. You can first see if you can customize it? If you can, the price is easy to negotiate!" Li Lin put the overall design of the cylinder block in the engine design drawing. Take it out and hand it to the other party.

Spike didn't talk nonsense, he took a look.

"Is this a blueprint for an engine?" Spike was a mechanic when he was young, although he is now a production supervisor. But when he looked at the design, he could see that it was probably a design similar to an engine!

Or a new type of engine design!

"Probably, I wonder if your machinery factory has this technology that can be customized?" Li Lin asked with concern.

The cylinder block, referred to as the cylinder block, is also the most difficult part of the engine to manufacture.

The cylinder block is generally made of gray cast iron. The cylindrical cavity on the upper part of the cylinder block is called the cylinder, the lower half is the crankcase supporting the crankshaft, and the inner cavity is the space for the crankshaft to move. Many reinforcing ribs, cooling water jackets and lubricating oil passages are cast inside the cylinder block.

Why is this cylinder difficult to manufacture?

First of all, there is no doubt that the quality of steel is better.

The biggest difficulty is drilling and grinding.

Since the cylinder block is located in the heart of the engine, there is a lot of uncertainty because the castings are all blanks when they are just produced. Moreover, the deviation of each workpiece is different, and there may be overcuts in the processing process, or the residual amount of the riser and flash cannot be effectively removed, which will have a great impact on the grinding quality of the cylinder block.

Inside, there are very high requirements for punching equipment and precision.

"The design drawing is very detailed. As long as you follow the dimensions and requirements above, there should be a good chance that it can be customized!" Spike said slowly after making an estimate.

"That's good, that's good!" Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that the other party would say no!

"However, if I want to secretly customize it for you, it will be very difficult and troublesome for me to do it! Our machinery factory will definitely take our orders at the time of normal work, and our machinery factory will definitely not accept your order. It will be picked up separately. It's too time-consuming and laborious! If I give you this thing for custom production, I'll have to dispatch mechanics, drillers, grinders, etc., and I'll take a lot of risk when it runs... "Spike narrowed his eyes.

Li Lin knew that the other party was going to negotiate the price: "I don't know how much price can satisfy Spike?"

"Five thousand pounds!" Spike lion exclaimed.

In fact, he often takes private jobs. For example, some small workshops suddenly designed some new motorcycle engines, or car engines, or some other mechanical equipment.

After all, these days, many mechanics love to invent, and they all want to develop a mechanical product that will shock the world and become their boss.

Usually he charges a few hundred pounds for customisation.

Why did you charge 5,000 pounds in the face of Li Lin?

The first one, he felt that Li Lin's No. 5 perfume business was too profitable. A bottle of perfume sold for 20 pounds. His wife recently bought five bottles, which made him a lot of pain.

The second one, seeing that Li Lin is a Chinese, who wouldn't cheat on him?

He is very clear that the Chinese people have no power here, they are all stubborn, and if you don't extort the other party well, you will be sorry for yourself!

Li Lin and the others all frowned after hearing this.

"Mr. Spike, your asking price is too outrageous! Five thousand pounds is too expensive!" Li Er couldn't help but said angrily.

You know, a worker earns only 20 or 30 pounds a month, and you pay 5,000 pounds?

unacceptable!

"Mr. Spike, do you think I will pay 5,000 pounds to customize this cylinder?" Li Lin said coldly.

"Two, I believe that you designed this cylinder block, and you must want to develop some kind of engine. I can tell you this, in the whole of Liverpool, only our machinery factory can manufacture this cylinder block! And it is still of excellent quality~ www.readwn.com~ Even if some other small and medium-sized machinery factories can develop it, I am afraid that the quality is not good or even substandard. You will still have to come to me at that time. In addition, in the whole of England, apart from our head office, it is estimated that we are the only one The branch has this kind of technology! Even if you go to the head office, I estimate that the price will be higher, and there is no way to customize it privately, I advise you to think about it." The old God Spike said.

Li Lin heard it and knew that what the other party said was the truth.

After all, at present, the automobile engine has only been invented a few years ago, and the aircraft engine has not come out.

Manufacturing power equipment technology, the highest is indeed these machinery factories that manufacture power equipment for ships!

It's not that they can invent and manufacture an excellent engine, but they can make you the engine parts and parts you want based on your design drawings, using the equipment and techniques for drilling and grinding the cylinder block. Come!

"Five hundred pounds, how about that?" Li Lin asked with a sullen face.

"No, no, I don't think you understand me? It's five thousand pounds! Now you are begging me, not me." Spike said with a decided look at you.

"In this case, we'd rather go to another machinery factory." Li Lin was not stupid, he clearly saw that the other party was ripping off.

"Please!" Spike felt that unless Li Lin went to other countries to customize it, he would have to come back to find him! He is in no hurry.

After getting out of the box.

Li Er scolded: "This bastard, this is obviously trying to trick us!"

"Five thousand pounds, thanks to his opening!" Li Biao also said indignantly.

"Xiao Lin, then I'll go look for other machinery factories?" Li Er asked when Li Lin didn't speak.
