Material Empire

The planning committee has been planning for a long time for major equipment technology research. To be more precise, the planning committee has organized several rounds of such actions in the past, but the results were not satisfactory. This time, Wang Hongsheng took the lead to achieve some different results. Because it is necessary to learn from the previous lessons and propose a new plan, the preparatory work in the early stage is very long, and the implementation has not been carried out for a long time.

Inspired by Chen Heqian, Qin Hai came to the Planning Committee to meet Wang Hongsheng, and reported to him that he was going to cooperate with some enterprises to jointly carry out research on cutting-edge materials. Wang Hongsheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately detained Qin Hai as his assistant, asking him to undertake the task of organizing the entire major equipment research based on the joint research of materials.

To say that Qin Hai was asked to take on this task, of course, did not mean that no one else was involved. The planning committee's major equipment research this time has united more than a dozen ministries and commissions and restructured industry corporations, including railways, telecommunications, electric power, energy, petrochemicals, ships, metallurgy, etc., covering all major heavy industries. Each unit has dispatched specialized personnel to participate in this work, and is responsible for communicating with the Planning Commission. Of course, there is no shortage of motives to strive for more benefits for the department through these major projects.

Wang Hongsheng, as the overall person in charge of this operation, can be said to be under a lot of pressure. As Li Qing analyzed, although he was born in the management industry, he is not a technician himself. He doesn't know much about equipment technology, and he doesn't know which aspects are the real bottlenecks and which aspects are flashy projects. Before meeting Qin Hai, he spent a lot of time researching the companies below, talking with managers, technicians and even ordinary workers, and collecting information. But the more he researched, the more he felt that his ability was limited. He heard many things. As soon as I heard it, I was caught in it, and I couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

It's not that he hasn't tried to hire professionals from research institutes or companies to assist him, but the people he recruited are either too pedantic, inflexible, or flexible, and only want to benefit himself and his colleagues. In short, no one can satisfy Wang Hongsheng. It wasn't until Qin Hai appeared in his office and mentioned to him the idea of ​​using economic means to promote inter-enterprise collaboration that he slapped his head with regret: It's really dark under the lights, isn't Qin Hai a person who is proficient in business and has a big picture in mind, And the best candidate without any selfish distractions?

In this way, Wang Hongsheng half-baited and half-forced Qin Hai to stay as his assistant, specializing in planning major equipment research. The work Wang Hongsheng arranged for Qin Hai reminded Qin Hai of the experience Yang Xinyu hired him to localize Pusang's auto materials a few years ago. , the resources that can be mobilized should not be underestimated.

Qin Hai was originally a person who wanted to do something big, otherwise he wouldn't have done the feat of collecting all the materials scholars in the country. This time, why would he not be willing to use the tiger skin of the State Planning Commission as a banner? In this way, Qin Hai assumed the title of Deputy Secretary-General in the specially established "Major Complete Equipment Tackling Operation Office". Regardless of the fact that it is just the secretary-general with the word "deputy", all the staff in the office know that this position is the one that promises everything, and it is the position in the office that can really make decisions.

This office, called the Heavy Equipment Office for short, has a director, an executive deputy director, and more than a dozen ordinary deputy directors. Among them, the director is the director of the State Planning Commission, Wang Hongsheng is the executive deputy director, and each of the ministries, commissions, and head offices participating in this operation sends a deputy leader to serve as the deputy director. The biggest role of this huge group of directors includes serving as the background wall when taking pictures, serving as a humanoid gramophone during meetings, and each contributing a name when sending documents. They can't be expected to do other things.

The daily work of the office is handled by the secretariat. The Secretary-General of the Secretariat is the Director of the General Office of the Planning Commission. His task is to act as a messenger and a messenger to the Director of the Planning Commission, conveying the Director's intentions to the Secretariat, and then reporting the progress of the Secretariat's daily work to the Director. Of course, when it came to publishing a document or asking the ministries' phonographs to babble and sing, the Secretary-General's role was irreplaceable, and he was the only one who knew all the tricks.

Under the secretary-general is Qin Hai, the deputy secretary-general. In name, his duty is to assist the Secretary-General's work, but in fact, it is the other way around, and the Secretary-General assists him in his work. How to write the documents to be sent, who to invite for meetings, and what discussions to arrange are all decided by Qin Hai. After he made a decision, the secretary-general would accept it seriously, and then inform the gods above about these matters.

Qin Hai knew that he was a soft-spoken person, and with his age and seniority, it was simply beyond his control if he wanted to command so many large enterprises. For this reason, he proposed to set up an expert committee under the office, with Chen Heqian as the chief expert, and other people including Fan Zhiyuan, Li Linguang, Yue Kun, etc. Most of them were Qin Hai who had worked with him before. People who are confident in their products.

Chen Heqian did not have any hesitation about being the chief expert. He told Zhou Yicheng that his task was to block bullets for Qin Hai. This was not a lie, but his true thoughts. He currently has a high prestige in the domestic materials industry, but whoever is engaged in industry, who dares to say that he does not need to do materials, and who dares to say that he does not know Chen Heqian? Chen Heqian is willing to stand up and support Qin Hai, so he can make up for Qin Hai's shortcomings of being too young and lacking prestige.

As for offending some people and damaging his long-standing image of a good guy, Chen Heqian did not hesitate. He could feel that if Qin Hai's affairs could be accomplished, it would definitely benefit the present and make great achievements in the future. What is it to suffer some personal loss for such a thing.

The notice from the State Planning Commission that Li Qing and Zhou Yicheng received was from Qin Hai. After a period of research, Qin Hai screened out more than 100 companies in various fields, and sent them a notice to participate in the research of major complete sets of equipment. In the notice, Qin Hai specifically stated that this time the major complete equipment research is different from the past, the focus is on solving the problems of materials and processes that plague the equipment manufacturing industry, and laying a solid foundation for the overall rise of the equipment manufacturing industry.

However, no one in the industry can understand the information contained in such a notice. In previous large-scale project research, the focus was often on the development of complete machine equipment, while ignoring innovations in materials and processes. In this way, when some materials cannot be self-sufficient in equipment manufacturing, or some processes cannot meet the requirements, enterprises can only rely on imports from abroad to meet the production of complete equipment first.

After each breakthrough, the participating enterprises will express that they will continue to conduct research and make up for the lack of materials, processes and other links. But the higher-level ministries and commissions only care about the manufacture of the complete machine, so how can they have the leisure to care about these trivial matters. If the superiors don't pay attention, the subordinates will naturally have no enthusiasm, so these issues can only be put aside, and they will be brought up again when the same equipment is produced next time.

In the industrial history of our country, there have been many "magical" stories, such as the lack of a certain part in the production process of a certain equipment. The technicians, even the on-site workers, "had an idea" and found another part as a substitute, which solved the problem and ensured the "time completion" of certain equipment. Such a story sounds beautiful, but it cannot withstand scrutiny. When encountering difficulties, it is not infeasible to temporarily replace them with simple methods. But after the replacement, these problems still need to be solved, and we cannot rely on replacement again and again to perfunctory.

Qin Hai studied materials in his previous life. Because of the characteristics of this profession, he has been in contact with countless manufacturing companies and knows all kinds of ills in the industry. Since Wang Hongsheng gave him such a broad platform, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to rectify these ills. With such a mentality, he determined that the core task of this major equipment research is a breakthrough in materials and processes. He understands that once the persistent problems of certain materials and processes are solved, the entire equipment industry will surely usher in a round of technological innovation. orgasm.

The notice to each enterprise is very clear, and the technical directors of each enterprise also understand it very clearly. But like Zhou Yicheng, most of the technical directors think that no matter how great the experts of the planning committee are, they can only talk on paper after all and don't understand the internal situation of the company. With such thoughts in mind, they boldly took over the task and submitted to the Office of Heavy Equipment the mission statement and timetable for their company to undertake the task of tackling key problems.

"With a budget of 40 million yuan and an annual production capacity of 800,000 tons of ethylene compressors, are you kidding me?"

In an unremarkable small building on Wanwanzhuang Avenue, Qin Hai sat opposite Chen Heqian and Li Linguang, looking through the plans submitted by the company. Qin Hai couldn't help but sneered when he saw Jingshiji's development plan for ethylene compressors.

"Xiao Qin, you're swearing again." Li Linguang reprimanded with a smile.

"Uh, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." Qin Hai hastened to cover up, in front of the two old gentlemen, he still had to put on a gentle appearance, although everyone knew his virtue.

"For the development of a large-scale ethylene compressor, 40 million is not a lot of money." Chen Heqian commented, "This kind of large-scale equipment has always been a blank in our country. The reason is that there are too many technical difficulties involved. There is no enterprise We can win all of them. If Jingshiji can solve all the technical problems with 40 million yuan, and if the Planning Commission can get the money, it will be worth it.”

Qin Hai sneered and said: "If they are willing to use 40 million to solve all technical problems, I will not say anything. Our group has no problem with this money. The key is that they only want this money to make a It’s just a compressor, and the low-temperature material issues and rotor blade casting issues involved in it are all excluded. What’s the point of such a research?”
