King of Industry

  Chapter 795 Immodest Zhao Guoyang

  In the huge conference room, after listening to the ridicule of the leader Chen Xianshang, Hong Wenbin laughed out of face and said, "Well, I'll just say a few words!"

  Leader Hong first talked about the importance of metallurgical work, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Guoyang below and said, "When we talk about our China's steel manufacturing technology, I have an expert here who recommends it to everyone."

"This expert has a very in-depth understanding of the advanced technology of international steel. His technical ability should be second to none in China! Today is just right, and he also came to the scene. I will ask him to replace me. Talk to everyone, talk to everyone!"

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that what was supposed to come had finally come.

  These participants in the audience are all heavyweights in the metallurgical system.

   Several of the heavyweight state-owned iron and steel enterprises are the top leaders, and there are even big bosses at the deputy ministerial level.

  At this time, after hearing what Director Hong said, everyone didn't believe it again.

  Anshan Iron and Steel Group boss Tu Zhixing asked a person beside him puzzledly, "Old Meng, is Director Hong exaggerating a little bit?"

   "There are such powerful experts in this country, can they surpass Lin Yuan, the chief engineer of our metallurgical department, in steel smelting?"

Originally, I thought that the old friend beside me would deny it outright, but who knew that after hearing his question, the other party smiled meaningfully and said: "Old Tu, this matter is not good. According to my understanding I know, I'm afraid there really is such an expert at the scene, who deserves the introduction of Director Hong..."

   "Uh...is there such a person?" Hearing this, Tu Zhixing was surprised.

   Just when he was about to continue asking questions, Director Hong had already spoken on the rostrum.

   "The expert I recommend is Zhao Guoyang, the 'special researcher' of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry and the director of the National Institute of 'Ship Industry-Special Materials'..."

  After Director Hong finished speaking, he still pointed in the direction where Zhao Guoyang was sitting.

  Looking at the direction the boss pointed, Zhao Guoyang was speechless for a while.

  But there is no way, Director Hong has already called the roll, so he can only stand up quickly.

   Coughing lightly, Zhao Guoyang stood up and bowed lightly to all the participants to show respect.

  Seeing him standing up, Hong Wenbin smiled and said, "Okay, Researcher Zhao, I will leave the rest of the time to you. Give us a brief introduction to the situation of international ships and marine steel."

   After saying this, Hong Wenbin retired and sat down.

  Leader Chen and Leader Zhu from the Ministry of Metallurgy are not very familiar with Zhao Guoyang.

  Although both of them knew that Director Hong would definitely not joke around, the so-called "special researcher" in front of him was too young, right? Can he say anything of value?

  Sitting at the end of the rostrum, Lin Yuan, the chief engineer of the metallurgical department, looked at the young man below with a blank expression. He didn't know what the origin of the other party was, but he actually dispatched Director Hong to stand for him?

   Not only the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy on the rostrum were puzzled, but the participants below were all dumbfounded.

  The two participants who questioned Zhao Guoyang before couldn't help muttering: "What's the matter, let a young junior come to give lectures to us old guys? Does he have this ability?"

   "That's it! It looks like a 'relationship household'! Maybe it came out of nowhere!"

  Tu Zhixing, the boss of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., did not speak as intensely as the others.

  He looked at Zhao Guoyang thoughtfully, then turned his head and asked the calm old friend beside him, "Old Meng, what do you mean, is this the person you just mentioned?"

  The man named Lao Meng nodded with a smile and said, "To tell you the truth, old buddy, what I guessed just now is this 'Researcher Zhao'!"

  Seeing Tu Zhixing's puzzled expression, "Lao Meng" happily explained: "Before, I had contact with this researcher Zhao once, through my old classmate Li Zhaohe."

   "This young man is indeed super capable and has a deep understanding of steel smelting technology. At least no one in Baosteel can catch up with him!"

  It turned out that the person who spoke was Li Zhaohe's old classmate, Meng Guoliang, the vice president of Baosteel Group.

  At first, "Baosteel Group" originally wanted to compete with "Shagang Group" for the market, but with Zhao Guoyang's ingenious mediation, the business competition between the two companies in Jiangnan Province, SJ City and other places has formed a balance.

  During the communication with Zhao Guoyang, Mr. Meng also had a deep understanding of Zhao Guoyang's ability and level, and praised him all the time.

  Seeing that Director Hong Wenbin also called his name at this time, Meng Guoliang secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, he didn't offend this "Researcher Zhao" rashly because of the strength of his own "Baosteel Group".

  Amidst the doubts, Zhao Guoyang seemed extraordinarily calm.

   After waiting for a short while, he found that the voices of the surrounding discussion gradually decreased, and he said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to thank Director Hong for his affirmation of me."

   "Since Director Hong has named me, let me talk about the development and application of corrosion-resistant steel for ships related to their Marine Bureau."

After a short pause, Zhao Guoyang slowly spoke: "In order to prevent major accidents caused by crude oil leakage caused by corrosion at the bottom of the tanker's cargo hold, since last year, several major shipbuilding associations in the world have established establishments including research institutes, classification societies, Technical research groups including shipowners, shipbuilders and steel producers.”

  "These research groups, through detailed research on the corrosion behavior of crude oil tankers, revealed the corrosion mechanism and corrosion process of the upper deck of the crude oil tank and the bottom plate of the cargo oil tank, and established a simulation test method for crude oil tanks."

   "Based on this research result, the world's major steel manufacturers have begun to develop new types of corrosion-resistant steel for crude oil tankers, and have obtained engineering applications. Among them, the smoothest progress is the island country's New Island Steel..."

   Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment, and his eyes fell on the big bosses of the participating steel companies and said: "All of you here are leaders of domestic steel companies, and you should have some understanding of the situation in this regard."

   "In fact, although there are several domestic companies that can provide corrosion-resistant steel for crude oil tankers, most of them should be imported from two neighboring countries, right?"

"Compared to South Korea's Pohang Iron and Steel, the island country's New Island Steel has a higher level of manufacturing steel for ships. In the past few years, everyone has imported a lot of steel from it. ..."

   Zhao Guoyang's words made the iron and steel business leaders below feel a little embarrassed.

   Indeed, although domestic steel companies can supply similar steel products in name, most of these steel products are directly imported from foreign companies under the banner of joint ventures.

  Most of the profits were taken away by this foreign joint venture.

   This matter was originally tacitly understood by everyone, but Zhao Guoyang said it clearly at the moment, and the heads of some heavyweight steel companies are naturally shameless.

  In contrast, Tu Zhixing, the boss of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., is quite calm.

  Although their Angang Steel Group also cooperates with foreign steel companies, he has never done such a thing as direct import and resale to domestic companies.

  Hearing Zhao Guoyang's sharp words at this time, he actually developed a good impression of this young man who dared to speak and act.

   After a moment of silence in the meeting room, Zhao Guoyang continued his speech.

  Looking at the unkind eyes from time to time, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'm not accusing you of anything wrong by saying this."

   "In fact, domestic iron and steel companies, through this method, can obtain the steel needed by the domestic shipbuilding industry, which is also an act of 'curve to save the country' and should not be blamed."

   "The improvement of the manufacturing and production level of the iron and steel industry cannot be accomplished in a day. Only when we have a deep understanding of our competitors can we compete with them!"

  When Zhao Guoyang said this, the audience said in a low voice: "Then Researcher Zhao, you must be very familiar with this aspect, so please tell us about it!"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang replied calmly: "Yes, I still know a lot about the development and application of corrosion-resistant steel for ships in the world. Next, I will get the technical progress in this area and share it with you. Make a general explanation!"

   Zhao Guoyang's "immodestness" made other business leaders in the conference room a little upset.

  But the other party was called by Director Hong of the State Oceanic Administration in person and asked to speak. Even if someone dislikes him, it is not easy to refute it directly at this moment.

Therefore, after Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, a voice from below said: "Hmph, let's listen to what this kid said first. If he really only knows how to play tricks, even if we don't coax him down, the leaders on the rostrum must not see it." down!"

   "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Xia's words are too reasonable. Let's bear with him for a while and see if this kid is a 'superhuman'!"

   Zhao Guoyang knew nothing about the following discussion.

  He cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Let me take the NSGP-1 of New Island Steel as an example."

   "Many leaders present may know that Niijima Steel was the first to develop a new type of high-efficiency corrosion-resistant steel plate NSGP-1 (Environmental Protection No. 1) five years ago in the world, with a quality grade of AH32."

   "This steel plate is mainly used in crude oil carriers and giant oil tankers."

Zhao Guoyang explained with gestures: "Compared with traditional steel plates, the corrosion resistance of this steel plate is about 5 times that of the original steel plate, which can save the coating process to prevent corrosion, which not only improves the safety of ships but also protects the environment. The application methods of welding and processing are exactly the same as those of traditional steel, and no special construction management is required during construction.”

"In order to verify the corrosion resistance of the new steel plate, the original Nippon Steel and Nippon Yusen cooperated to use the corrosion-resistant steel plate on the bottom plate of the large oil tanker (MLCC) "Takamine" built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1991. After more than two years The actual ship test results show that the new steel plate can effectively prevent corrosion.”
