King of Industry

  Chapter 387 Ask a question

  In the office, Zhao Guoyang and Chen Guolin chatted very speculatively.

   Minister Chen's material research on mining equipment really caught Zhao Guoyang's eyes.

  In addition to excavation machinery, Chen Guolin has a certain understanding of the mechanical equipment required for mining, including cranes, conveyors, ventilators, and drainage machinery.

  Because Suzanne’s side will not only make money from this niobium-tantalum mine in the future, so Zhao Guoyang has to consider the equipment for open-pit mining and underground mining in advance.

   This exchange with Chen Guolin was really beneficial to him.

   While the two were talking happily, the phone on Chen Guolin's desk suddenly rang.

   When this guy picked it up, it turned out that Chairman Shen Zhirong had already returned, and had already gone to the box on the top floor of the hotel with Director Hu and Director Ma, and asked him to bring Zhao Guoyang over quickly.

   Listening to Mr. Shen's words submissively, and after putting down the phone, Chen Guolin noticed that the time on the wall clock was long past the off-duty time.

   "Hehe, I'm sorry, Researcher Zhao, I'm off work, I haven't noticed yet."

  Zhao Guoyang laughed dumbfounded when he heard the words: "It's not only you, Minister Chen, I didn't even check the time."

Chen Guolin made a haha, stood up and stretched his right hand, made a "please" gesture and said: "Researcher Zhao, Mr. Shen is already waiting in the box with Director Hu and Director Ma, let's go now, don't let The big guys are waiting anxiously."

  Zhao Guoyang nodded and stood up, followed Chen Guolin out the door.

  When passing the large office of the technical department, Zhao Guoyang happened to see Xiao Ruoyu and the glasses girl, each holding a lunch box, talking and laughing while eating.

   Seeing Zhao Guoyang coming, Xiao Ruoyu hurriedly got up to greet him.

   Now that he was in a hurry, Zhao Guoyang didn't say much to him, but just told him not to rush off after get off work at night, wait for his call, and have a meal together.

  Of course Xiao Ruoyu nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice.

   Seeing the hopeful appearance of the glasses girl peeking over there, Zhao Guoyang smiled and added: "Call your friends, too, it will be more lively with more people!"

   "Ah... good good!" Xiao Ruoyu was overjoyed to see Zhao Guoyang pouted at the glasses girl, and secretly gave Zhao Guoyang a thumbs up.

Chen Guolin beside him kept smiling and watching Zhao Guoyang and Xiao Ruoyu talking. It wasn't until Zhao Guoyang turned around that Minister Chen said: "Researcher Zhao, your classmate's performance is quite eye-catching recently. fully recognized by…”

  Zhao Guoyang said again and again: "Yes, Minister Chen, Xiao Ruoyu is still very capable, and he is also smart. When he was in school, his grades were relatively outstanding. He should be very suitable for technical work."

   Chen Guolin pointed to the latter and said, "Well, Researcher Zhao and our Xiao Xiao are college classmates, so I must know him much better than I do."

   "This kid is indeed a talent. In the second half of the year, our technical department has a promotion quota, and I'm planning to give it to him."

  When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he knew that Minister Chen had disclosed this news to himself on purpose, and then revealed it to Xiao Ruoyu through his own mouth, which could be regarded as selling himself.

   Regarding this, Zhao Guoyang naturally tacitly said a few polite words to Minister Chen, thanking him for his help and cultivation of his old classmate.

  …

   It is not the first time that Zhao Guoyang has come to the box on the top floor of the Shagang Group Hotel.

  This box has always been used exclusively by chairman Shen Zhirong to receive distinguished guests.

  Zhao Guoyang still remembers how excited Xiao Ruoyu was when he ate here last time.

  Let’s not talk about him, even the middle-level cadres of the Shagang Group rarely have the opportunity to sit here.

   Originally, in a small factory like Hongda Machinery Factory, there was no need for Shen Zhirong to receive a mere deputy factory manager.

  But because of Zhao Guoyang, Chairman Shen specially asked someone to prepare a table in this box to entertain the two guests who came from afar.

  When Zhao Guoyang and Chen Guolin arrived, Shen Zhirong was chatting with Ma Jian and Hu Jun.

  Several beautiful waiters served tea and water to the three leaders, as well as snacks and fruits before meals. They were extremely attentive.

  Although Ma Jian has traveled far and wide, he has never enjoyed this kind of treatment anywhere before. At this time, he felt a little sigh in his heart.

  Indeed, when it comes to Shagang Group, its history is not much longer than its own Hongda Machinery Factory, and even its scale in the earliest days may not be much larger than Hongda Machinery Factory.

  But after so many years of hard work, they insisted on starting a small factory with self-raised funds and developed it into the current scale.

  Such achievements really made Ma Jian envious.

   "I don't know when our Hongda Machinery Factory will be able to develop by leaps and bounds like the Shagang Group..." Ma Jian thought to himself.

  At this time, seeing Zhao Guoyang and Chen Guolin coming in, Ma Jian got out of his thoughts, and stood up with Shen Zhirong and Hu Jun to greet them.

   After some courtesy, the two sat down quickly.

   Seeing Chen Guolin sitting beside Director Hu, Zhao Guoyang naturally sat on the other side, leaning against Director Ma.

  Chairman Shen didn’t call too many people today, and there were only five people dining.

  Seeing that everyone was here, Shen Zhirong clapped his hands and signaled the waiter to leave the food.

   At the beginning, everyone naturally had a drink under Mr. Shen's suggestion.

   Ma Jian's glass of wine drank the fastest, and Shen Zhirong couldn't help but look at him more.

   Ma Jian smiled politely at Mr. Shen to show respect.

  Put down the wine glass, Shen Zhirong looked at Chen Guolin, laughed and joked: "Guolin, did you chat with Comrade Xiao Zhao too speculatively, did you forget the time?"

  Chen Guolin responded with shame: "Yes, Mr. Shen, although Researcher Zhao's major is not in steel smelting, some of his insights are very unique and have inspired me a lot."

   "No, every time I communicate with him, I can get a lot of inspiration, and there is a feeling of enlightenment."

  After hearing this, Shen Zhirong nodded in agreement and said, "Guolin, what you said is absolutely correct."

   "A few days ago, I had a phone call with Ji Chongxuan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Peking University. During the phone call, when I mentioned Comrade Xiao Zhao, Professor Ji praised him for a while!"

   "Ah, Professor Ji?" Hearing this name, Zhao Guoyang's mind was filled with the image of an old pedantic and honest elder.

  At the Songjiang International Automobile Expo, Zhao Guoyang, Professor Ji, and Mr. Li, two domestic industry experts, had a lot of exchanges, which left a deep impression on them.

   It's just that what Zhao Guoyang didn't expect was that Mr. Shen also mentioned his name when talking with Professor Ji.

  Shen Zhirong may have seen Zhao Guoyang's doubts, so he explained with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't get me wrong. Professor Ji and I mentioned your name mainly because of the niobium-tantalum mine you mentioned last time."

   "As you know, niobium and tantalum metals are widely used in electromechanical fields. If I really want to smelt these two metals, of course I need to know more about this."

   "Speaking of which, Professor Ji is definitely the only authority in the field of electromechanical in China, and no one can match him. Is it understandable for me to ask him about this situation?"

   After Shen Zhirong explained it like this, Zhao Guoyang certainly understood what was going on.

  Feelings After I mentioned to Mr. Shen last time that he could get niobium and tantalum ore, he really cared. He wanted to ask Professor Ji to learn about the prospects of these two metals in the domestic market.

  This president Shen's long-term vision and quick response made Zhao Guoyang a little admired.

   Apart from Shen Zhirong and Zhao Guoyang, Hu Jun and Chen Guolin all knew the name Ji Chongxuan at the dinner table, and only Ma Jian heard the name in a fog.

  However, Ma Jian has rich experience in dealing with people and things, and knows when to speak and when to remain silent.

  Hearing Shen Zhirong and Zhao Guoyang talk at this moment, he just smiled and listened, not intending to interrupt.

Noticing how Ma Jian was listening attentively, Shen Zhirong paused temporarily, raised his glass to him and said, "Come on, Factory Manager Ma, I'll toast you. I hope that Shagang Group and Hongda Machinery Factory can have a long-term cooperation. Let's achieve a win-win situation!"

   "Yes yes yes! With Chairman Shen's care, I believe it will be done!" Hearing this, Ma Jian quickly raised his glass and said.

   While a few people were chatting and persuading them to drink, the food came out quickly.

  After having a few drinks with everyone, Shen Zhirong turned his attention to Chen Guolin.

"Guolin, a few days ago, didn't you and I mention some bottlenecks we encountered in the converter steelmaking technology and continuous steel casting technology in the factory? Just now Xiao Zhao is here, you can communicate with him Let’s communicate, let’s listen and learn as well!”

  After Shen Zhirong finished speaking, Chen Guolin nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Mr. Shen, I'm going to ask Researcher Zhao about this."

Looking at Zhao Guoyang's slightly confused expression, Chen Guolin then explained: "Researcher Zhao, this is the situation. Our Shagang Group is not the ultra-high-power electric furnace steelmaking, continuous casting, and continuous rolling that we bought from Yingjili. The production line?"

  Seeing that Zhao Guoyang nodded, Chen Guolin went on to say: "Indeed, the completion of this assembly line has doubled our Shagang's production capacity, and the level of process equipment has also improved a lot."

"However, you should have seen it last time, Researcher Zhao, when you came here. The continuous casting blanks produced by our assembly line are relatively heavy steel plates, and the output slabs are relatively thick. This makes the hot rolling stand The quantity has remained high, and it is difficult to control the cost."

Chen Guolin frowned deeply and sighed: "Although the current production line of our Shagang Group is considered to be the leading one in the whole country, just judging from the quality of the cast embryos produced, our production line still has a lot of room for improvement. "

   "During this time, my colleagues in the technical department and I have been thinking about this issue, to see if we can keep improving and improve product quality and work efficiency to another level..."
