Chapter 442 Breaking through the resistance of high-end
Although he said that he should focus on materials, it is obviously impossible for Chang Haonan to contact materials research and development personnel across the country again.
The research direction of high-speed bearings is an unpopular one. There are not many research groups working on it in the country, and there are only a few at the forefront, and they happen to be concentrated in a few scientific and industrial committee systems. It's easy to get together and hold a meeting at a high school.
But materials, even relatively less popular metal materials, definitely belong to prominent science (easy to write articles). There are so many researchers that even some scholars who are not originally in the field of materials science will publish more papers in order to publish more papers. As for joining in the fun, if we hold meetings for them in batches, Chang Haonan probably won't have to do anything else in the next few years.
Even if we focus on the industrial end of metallurgy, the number of domestic steel mills...
You have no idea which steel mill has come up with something weird in which segment.
We can’t conduct a large-scale industrial survey in 1997.
To do this kind of hard work before the information age, the manpower and material resources mobilized, and the various twists and turns that may be involved are enough to cause chaos or even shutdown of the entire industry.
At this time, we must learn to grasp the key contradictions.
In the entire bearing industry chain, the most concentrated part in China is actually the bearing manufacturer itself.
There are only three companies that can produce relatively high-end bearing products: Ha, Luo and Wa.
That is, Bingcheng Bearing Group, Luoyi Bearing Group and Fuzhou Bearing Group.
They are all established companies in the industry and have close ties with the upstream machine tool, metallurgy, and precision instrument industries, as well as many downstream manufacturing industries, especially the civilian manufacturing industry.
This is important.
As mentioned earlier, in order to further improve his theory and benefit end users from it, a large amount of data from the industry is required.
But this kind of thing is easy to say, but there is a big problem in doing it.
Right now, China’s high-end bearing localization rate is almost 0. How can we get users to trust and start using domestically produced bearings?
The Science and Technology Commission system can indeed provide some assistance, but the models and production capacity of aerospace rockets are ultimately limited, and the usage conditions they are intended for are too monotonous.
For example, the core bearings of a turbofan engine are actually 5-6 sets, and they are highly similar between aircraft engines of the same type, so not much data can be provided.
Compared with the civilian field, which has a wide variety of products and a huge market, the military industry has inherent shortcomings in this aspect.
But the environment in the civilian field is much more complicated.
High-end bearings of foreign brands such as NTN, SKF and FAG have formed complete and solid market barriers. Whether from the perspective of stability or profit distribution, users will not choose easily. Change supplier.
This is actually a problem faced by China in many fields -
High-end users don’t care about cost performance at all. As long as they have performance and stability, once they form a habit of using it, they will not change it unless they have to. , means such as price reduction are completely useless.
Even in the previous life, many industries in China, especially the basic industries, would not have been so easy to develop if it had not been for King Dong’s push.
So for now, we can only start slowly with state-owned enterprises.
......
Considering that none of the three bearing groups are affiliated to the Science and Technology Commission system, and there was no business contact with Chang Haonan in the past, the latter finally decided to serve as the general manager of Torch Company. Send a letter of inquiry in each name.
To his own surprise, all three inquiry letters were responded to on the same day.
The content of the reply is basically the same——
Send someone to the capital immediately.
Chang Haonan has never seen such an attitude and efficiency in his entire life.
“It went smoothly beyond expectation...”
Chang Haonan held three faxed reply letters in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Of course. Although our company has not had direct business contact with them and does not belong to the same system, you are a member of the expert advisory group in important scientific frontier fields of the 973 Project, and anyone in the country has some R&D capabilities. Enterprises and institutions should be given some face.”
Song Jingming, the office director who sent the reply letter, paid the right compliment:
“Besides, this matter itself is of no harm to them. If I were the person in charge, I would definitely grab it too. Come on, I'm afraid that the other two companies will take advantage of it."
"That's right." Chang Haonan put the things in his hands aside and turned to look at Song Jingming:
" Then Lao Song, please go arrange the reception and the meeting. The specifications can be a little higher, but it must be done as soon as possible.”
As the development of Torch Company gradually gets on the right track, other departments besides technology are gradually enriched.
Fortunately, the de-administrative reform of state-owned enterprises has not been completed at this time, and even grassroots units can harvest wool from other places.
Song Jingming was transferred from the General Office of the Science and Industry Commission by him.
For this reason, I even upgraded him by half a level.
Of course, because Chang Haonan is not planning to build a large and comprehensive company, many departments are still relatively thin.
For example, there are only two people in the administrative office including Song Jingming, so many things require his own hands as the director.
There is only one Yang Huimei in the marketing department. Fortunately, she has many graduate students under her, who can help share some unimportant work.
……
It should be said that Song Jingming’s guess is accurate.
When Zhang Xu, the head of R&D from Bingcheng Bearing Group, walked into Chang Haonan's office and found that his colleagues from Luoyi and Fuzhou were already sitting inside, his face turned pale at that time.
If the other two families had secretly negotiated something while he was away, he would definitely not get any good results after he returned.
You know, before departure, the general manager of Ice Axis Group specially called him to the office and warned him repeatedly, saying that although the meeting was small in scale, it was extremely important. The general manager Chang Haonan who presided over the meeting He is not very old, but his abilities and connections are very impressive. All the institutions and companies that had a relationship with this person in the past have taken off.
To sum it up in one sentence, if you don’t get any competitive technology when you go to the capital this time, then you should stay in the capital and never come back.
In just a few seconds, Zhang Xu had already started thinking about how to find his next job.
At this time Chang Haonan cleared his throat:
"Now that Mr. Zhang has arrived, let's get started."
"I have several technical documents related to bearings here. Let the three of you take a look at them first to see if you are interested in this project."
Chang Haonan motioned to Song Jingming to send the document to the three people sitting on the sofas on both sides.
Zhang Xu's expression finally softened a little. Looking at this posture, he shouldn't have missed anything important.
However, the relaxed mood did not last for a few seconds. After receiving the technical documents, he felt his heart suddenly shrink again.
The document begins as a series of performance requirements for bearings.
As the R&D director, Zhang Xu can see the difficulty at a glance.
High speeds of more than 30,000, operating temperatures of more than 250°C, irregular and extremely high levels of external overload, coupled with life requirements of no less than 3,000 hours...
Change If so, Zhang Xu would probably ask why you don't go to heaven?
Of course, what he didn’t know was that this bearing was really going to go to heaven.
At the same time, the other two people also looked embarrassed.
Although the three of them have their own strengths in specific fields, their overall levels are not much different. Problems that one finds difficult will not be easy for the other two.
“The first requirement is so difficult, what will happen next...”
With this thought, Zhang Xu mustered up the courage to turn to the second page of the document...< br>
“What the fuck?”
The second page is not another technical requirement, but the specific design of this bearing.
In other words, Chang Haonan is not giving them questions, but letting them see the process of solving the questions.
Then, the more he read this document, the more shocked Zhang Xu became.
He finally understood why his general manager had to let him come on this trip.
