Chapter 553 Strategic Deception
The joint venture established by Torch Group and C.B. Ferrari is indeed an earth-shattering event for China's domestic machinery manufacturing industry.
However, on an international scale, it has not had any direct impact yet.
After all, Huaxia has never made any waves in the field of high-end machinery manufacturing in the past.
Except for the media who witnessed the launch of MS45T that day and a few insiders in the industry, most people, even if they knew about the establishment of Torch-C.B. Like other joint ventures established over the past decades or two decades, it is just a means for C.B. Ferrari to enter the Chinese market——
As a pure distributor, you are at most responsible for the production and manufacturing of some less important parts.
Moreover, since China and the EU launched cooperation in the aviation field last year, European machine tool companies have also begun to secretly export some equipment that they did not sell in the past.
Now that I see C.B. Ferrari daring to be the first to try something, I feel brave enough at most.
Not many people are truly aware of the nature of the cooperation between the two parties and the round of reshuffle that will be brought to the machine tool industry.
At least not yet.
...
A few days after the signing and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"Mr. Chang, this is feedback on your previous list of companies."
Lan Xinzhi handed the information he compiled to Chang Haonan, and then sat across from the desk. On the chair:
“Although there was some resistance, I basically got it.”
"Now, as long as the main engine factory is ready and you send the processing flow chart separately, you can start to promote production."
As the design work of the heavy-duty die forging press comes to an end, it becomes more difficult and Troublesome equipment production has been put on the agenda.
For China, whose overall industrial level is not yet high, the only option to manufacture such giant equipment is to mobilize the whole country.
In fact, the Equipment Industry Department first made dumplings just for this dish of vinegar.
So after Lan Xinzhi took office, he naturally made the production of die forging presses the No. 1 project supervised by the director himself.
It should be said that as a new organization, the Equipment Industry Department's work efficiency is quite good.
At least Chang Haonan is satisfied with the information in his hand.
After flipping through the pages quickly, he raised his head again and said to Lan Xinzhi:
“Comrade Yan Yongnian and I are leading the project team to carry out the final inspection of the die forging press these two days. Design calibration and drawing confirmation, if nothing unexpected happens, the drawings will be released by the end of this month.”
The latter nodded:
"Then I will notify the persons in charge of the relevant units as soon as possible of the basic situation about the production of forging presses, and ask them to adjust their business and production capacity as soon as possible, leaving enough priority."
As my director, I presided over ( Of course, it is actually the first project of the project, and Lan Xinzhi naturally hopes that it can be completed as quickly as possible.
If the idea of "giving a gift to the 50th National Day" can really be realized, apart from Chang Haonan, he will definitely benefit the most.
After a brief pause, Lan Xinzhi changed the topic again:
"In addition, Mr. Chang, now that the Equipment Industry Department has been formally established, there is no need to carry out pre-research on this project. It’s time to change your name.”
"Please decide what the name of the project should be, and I will handle the specific procedures."
He has a very clear understanding of the nature of his current position -
At least in a short period of time, The Equipment Industry Department is actually Comrade Chang Haonan's secretarial team.
Fortunately, Lan Xinzhi is a secretary himself, so he is quite familiar with these tasks.
“Just call it the 750MN giant die forging hydraulic press.”
Chang Haonan wasn't going to do anything fancy either.
A simple device needs a simple name.
As for why it is 750MN (75,000 tons)...
Because after changing the frame structure from steel wire wound type to plate and frame combined type, Chang Haonan and the others analyzed other subsystems in detail The bearing capacity is 680MN, and a 10% design margin is squeezed out based on the original design calibration of 680MN.
Strictly speaking, the surge margin is similar to the previous engine. Such a margin is caused by the insufficient design level at that time.
But it's a good thing for Chang Haonan today.
He can make it now anyway.
By the way, this equipment also ranks with the two in Russia, becoming one of the three largest die forging equipment in the world.
After watching Lan Xinzhi write down the name of the project in his notebook, Chang Haonan continued: "In addition, remember to make statistics based on facts. What specific technologies do these units involved in the production of die forging presses have? Difficult. If any company urgently needs to improve its precision processing level, you can report it specifically and I will ask Wei Yongming to arrange for the joint venture to jump in and supply them.”
Wei Yongming, who just graduated from Qinghua University in March, was directly recruited by Chang Haonan into the Numerical Computing Business Department. He is now directly connected with the C.B. Ferrari Group and is responsible for the system development and optimization of new machine tools.
“Also, the core intellectual property of the die forging press lies in the overall structural design and frame production and assembly. In addition to these, in order to ensure production efficiency, we do not insist on 100% localization rate.”
< br>“However, whether it is imported or domestically produced, everyone is treated equally. Full performance testing must be carried out in person, and you cannot just look at the test report issued by the supplier.”
“If something goes wrong, we will take the responsibility Even if you are killed, the loss will be difficult to recover, so you must not be careless..."
"..."
Chang Haonan mentioned more than a dozen precautions one by one, and Lan Xinzhi also wrote them down in his notebook one by one.
After the serious talk, the two finally relaxed a little.
"Speaking of which, the establishment of our joint venture does not seem to have caused much international repercussions..."
Lan Xinzhi put the pen back into his pocket and changed into a chat bag. said in a tone of voice.
Chang Haonan then smiled and asked:
"Director Lan hopes that the international reaction will be more severe?"
Hearing this question, Lan Xinzhi shook his head subconsciously, but then nodded:
"I mean, On the one hand, I hope to continue to make a fortune quietly, which is in line with our strategy of keeping a low profile and biding our time."
"But on the other hand..."
He was a little embarrassed when he said this. Scratching his head:
"Such a great achievement, and I hope it can be seen internationally, giving us Chinese people a chance to feel proud."
"It is indeed a bit contradictory..."
This complicated mentality , which is quite common for Chinese people of this era.
Even Chang Haonan had the same idea when he was just reborn.
Later, I slowly stopped worrying about it.
"There is nothing to contradict."
Chang Haonan waved his hand. Although he was nearly 20 years younger than Lan Xinzhi on the surface, he looked more like an elder:
"Behind the scenes of keeping a low profile, Isn’t it possible to follow the same sentence and look at it dialectically?”
“Personally, I still hope that the international response will be weaker now, so that when we really take off, On the contrary, he felt even more proud.”
Lan Xinzhi didn’t really have any other ideas, so he nodded immediately and agreed:
"That's right. The most important thing is to show real results. As for the opinions of other countries, just let it take its course."
"Speaking of it, it's great that we can maintain such a small movement this time. To a large extent, I have to thank those old friends."
Chang Haonan took out a few newspapers from the drawer of his desk and handed them to Lan Xinzhi opposite:
"These media outlets in the Southern City Department have written several articles in succession in the past few days, stating with clear eyes that our Torch-C.B. Ferrari's products are just re-shells of imported equipment and do not involve independent research and development at all."< br>
“Even I almost believe it.”
At the end of his words, Chang Haonan's tone had a hint of smile.
He thought of the legend of the "Strategic Deception Bureau" that was circulated on the Internet in his previous life.
Of course, the intentions of these media must be bad.
It was just a mistake and it was implemented.
"TMD, how could you fabricate it out of thin air..."
Lan Xinzhi has obviously seen too little, and does not have a deep understanding of these media's efforts to confuse right and wrong, and his tolerance is not very high.
“We really have no control over media matters.”
Chang Haonan shook his head helplessly and amusedly:
“However, let them continue to write like this , it won’t do us any harm.”
“At least it can confuse those foreigners who don’t know what’s going on, and buy us more time to develop...”
