Beiyang reactionaries

"Boss Hu, you have a background in mechanics. You should understand that machine tools are the mother of industry and the most needed thing in industrial development. Especially for machine manufacturing factories like yours, machine tools are inseparable. However, all Factories, including the machine tools used by our army’s military factories, are all imported. There is nothing wrong at this time. Once a major event happens in the world and we cannot import machine tools, even our country’s military factories will be affected. We It has to be considered. Therefore, our Ministry of Heavy Industry has always hoped to promote the localization of machine tools."

The mother of industry.

Machine tools are something that cannot be bypassed in the mechanical field, and are the real mother of industry.At present, the largest military factory in China is the Sichuan Arsenal, which has more than 4 machine tools of various types.

But they are all imported.

Not only the Sichuan Arsenal, but also the Hanyang Arsenal, Jinling Manufacturing Bureau (Nanjing Arsenal), Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau (Shanghai Arsenal), Gongxian Arsenal, Taiyuan Arsenal, Northeast Arsenal, Wuchang Aircraft Factory, Wuchang Shipbuilding All kinds of machine tools owned by these arsenals, etc., are imported without exception.Because the country does not have its own machine tool factory.

But this will not work.

With the government's large investment in the industrial field, the demand for various machine tools is increasing.Such an important thing as machine tools cannot be completely placed on imports.Therefore, the Ministry of Heavy Industry will start the localization of machine tools.

"Our Ministry of Heavy Industry has thought a lot. I am dissatisfied with Boss Hu. Although the cabinet's expenditure plan for this year, the industrial sector has received the most financial funds, and industrial construction is the top priority in the cabinet's plan. But after the various industrial departments divide these funds, the Our Ministry of Heavy Industry has already lost a lot of funds. The important plan of our Ministry of Heavy Industry in the past few years is about the construction of the steel industry. Therefore, our funds are limited. If we want to invest in the construction of machine tool factories, we are not only short of manpower, but also insufficient funds .So we at the Ministry of Heavy Industry have come up with a new plan."

"The plan of our Ministry of Heavy Industry is that our Ministry of Heavy Industry will select several machine factories with relatively strong technical strength nationwide, and cooperate with them to promote the localization of machine tools in our country. Our Ministry of Heavy Industry will provide a sum of money, and the local government will provide land. The operation of the factory is handed over to these machine factories. Our Ministry of Heavy Industry will give priority to these cooperative enterprises in the allocation of talents, and give priority to these enterprises in government machine tool orders. Support these enterprises to become the leader in the domestic machine tool industry."

"Boss Hu, your Xinmin Machine Factory was selected by the Ministry of Heavy Industry among the machine factories in Shanghai. We hope to cooperate with Xinmin Machinery Factory to establish Shanghai Machine Tool Factory in Shanghai. It is also the first official machine tool factory in my country."

Yes.

This is the plan of the Ministry of Heavy Industry.The Ministry of Heavy Industry has discovered the importance of machine tools.Especially with the large amount of government investment in industry, the demand for machine tools is really great.

Not to mention anything else, how many supporting factories are needed for the aircraft industry and shipbuilding industry that the Ministry of Industry wants to develop, and how many machine tools they need.Let's talk about the current development of China's auto industry led by the Ministry of Commerce, which requires more machine tools.

Not to mention factories, so many repair shops also need these.According to the current statistics of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, China currently needs [-] machine tools of various types every year.Moreover, with the development of industrial scale, the annual demand for various machine tools will inevitably exceed [-] within five years.Therefore, the localization of machine tools is imminent.

But the Ministry of Heavy Industry has a headache.

Because the Ministry of Heavy Industry has no money, no one, and no energy.

Most of the funds, personnel, and energy of the Ministry of Heavy Industry have been put into the development of China's steel industry.There is really not much money that can be invested in the localization of machine tools, and there are not many technicians that can be allocated.

So I thought of this method.

Find several excellent machine manufacturers and cooperate with them.The Ministry of Heavy Industry gave them investment, and the local government gave them land.In fact, it is also good for factories, because then their factories will become semi-official enterprises.

There are certainly many benefits in terms of financing.

"What do you think? Can we build machine tools?"

Although Duan Xun was on top, Ren Hongjun was beside him, and there were a bunch of high-ranking government officials beside Duan Xun, Hu Juewen still didn't answer directly.Although hearing that the Ministry of Heavy Industry has chosen its own factory, Hu Juewen is still very proud.

Because this shows that the Ministry of Heavy Industry is affirming their strength.

But he couldn't answer casually.Because this matter is too big, especially in cooperation with the government, many people are very happy, but it does not mean that Hu Juewen is also happy.

Because cooperating with the government, there are always many concerns.

Another reason is that Hu Juewen has to think about whether his factory is capable of handling such a big event.The localization of machine tools is an important plan of the Ministry of Heavy Industry.

Even Duan Xun, the prime minister of the cabinet, was alarmed.I don't dare to promise such a thing casually. If it fails, how will I explain to the Ministry of Heavy Industry and how to explain to Duan Xun.That's why Hu Juewen asked Li Chengqian in a low voice.Li Chengqian was the chief engineer of Xinmin Machinery Factory, and Hu Juewen admired him a lot.

Any machine can be imitated by letting Li Chengqian take it apart and study it for a period of time.In this regard, Li Chengqian's ability is really strong.The present scale of Xinmin Machinery Factory is inseparable from Li Chengqian's ability.

Li Chengqian's ability is indeed outstanding.In history, Li Chengqian served as the director of the largest military factory in the Republic of China, the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau.Later, the factory moved to Chongqing, claiming to have built half of the weapons of the National Army of the Anti-Japanese War.Li Chengqian's ability can be seen.

Therefore, Hu Juewen asked Li Chengqian whether machine tool manufacturing was technically feasible.

"I have studied the machine tools used in our factory. As long as there are certain supporting equipment, we should be able to manufacture them. But I haven't tried it, so I can't guarantee it. And the machine tool also depends on where it is used. If it is some machine tools needed for simple machine processing, I think our technical capabilities should be able to produce them. However, it is difficult for us to produce some machine tools required for precision parts processing in a short time.”

Li Chengqian also answered Hu Juewen in a low voice.

Hu Juewen nodded, understanding what Li Chengqian meant.Li Chengqian is a man of action, and he usually doesn't talk too much.But when he said this level, Hu Juewen knew that Li Chengqian was sure.So he raised his head and said to Ren Hongjun, "Minister Ren, will the Ministry of Heavy Industry interfere with our operation? Or will it give us a target task?"

"Let me tell you about this."

Duan Xun has been listening to Ren Hongjun and Hu Juewen talking about cooperation.

Originally, I just listened quietly, and then talked about the Shanghai issue with some leaders who came with me.But after hearing Hu Juewen's question, Duan Xun still spoke.

"What I mean is, since the Ministry of Heavy Industry has chosen such a cooperation model, it should have full trust in the factory it chooses. As the saying goes, don't doubt people, but don't doubt people. Since you choose Xinmin Machinery Factory, you have chosen Hu The management team headed by the boss is tantamount to choosing the operation method of Xinmin Machinery Factory. In terms of operation, it should be fully trusted. The Ministry of Heavy Industry should send representatives to the company's board of directors to supervise the company's operations and finances, and should not interfere The company’s operation. For public-private joint ventures, most government departments should adopt this attitude. Minister Ren, what do you think?”

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Ren Hongjun nodded.

Said: "If our Ministry of Heavy Industry wants to operate by itself, we will not adopt this method. It is because our Ministry of Heavy Industry lacks funds, energy, and people. That's why it is like this. Boss Hu, our Ministry of Heavy Industry does not would interfere with the company's operations."

Ren Hongjun immediately made a statement.

If there is money and people, how can the Ministry of Heavy Industry choose to cooperate with these local enterprises.It is entirely because there is no money and no one that they choose such a cooperation model.

This will not only maximize the subjective initiative of an outstanding operator like Hu Juewen, but also attract some private capital to flow here.

Duan Xun continued: "As for the issue of indicators, since it does not interfere with the operation, of course it will not issue indicators at will. But Boss Hu, if the Shanghai Machine Tool Factory is really established, it will be the first official domestic machine tool factory in China. Our country is a big country. After the development of industry, various types of machine tools are needed. The whole country needs more than a dozen and dozens of large machine tool factories to meet the needs of the country. The Ministry of Heavy Industry hopes that Shanghai Machine Tool Factory can become the cradle of machine tool factories nationwide. More technical talents can be trained here, more technology can be accumulated, and other machine tool factories can be supported in the future. Similarly, once the Ministry of Heavy Industry has any large-scale technical research projects, it will definitely need the Shanghai Machine Tool Factory to complete. Of course, the government will not Let Boss Hu suffer you, the funds that should be given will definitely be approved. But we hope that Boss Hu can cooperate with some plans of the Ministry of Heavy Industry."

Why does Duan Xun want the government to control major industries.

It is because many policies of the country must be coordinated by the following.The government's own industry will be easier to direct.If those important industries are controlled by private individuals, it will be difficult for the government to implement many policies.It is also impossible for them to fully obey the orders of the government.

The same is true for machine manufacturers.

The government must have the right to speak.The Ministry of Heavy Industry provided money, and the local government provided land, all in order to increase the right to speak in the newly established Shanghai Machine Tool Factory.

Of course, the Ministry of Heavy Industry will not choose a partner.The Ministry of Heavy Industry will set up a machine tool factory in Shanghai, Wuchang, Chongqing, and Tianjin, which have relatively good industrial foundations.

"Prime Minister, I understand what you mean."

Hu Juewen stood up.

Immediately said: "Prime Minister, it has always been my dream to save the country through industry. I also studied machine manufacturing, and I am also very aware of the importance of machine tools to our country's industry. Since the Ministry of Heavy Industry has such a plan, I am obliged to do so."

"it is good."

Duan Xun was very happy.

Said: "Boss Hu, you are all builders of Chinese industry."

"Send this to Beijing."

After a tiring day in Shanghai, Duan Xun went back to his room without resting.Because after talking with Shanghai leaders today, Duan Xun found that there are still many important issues that have not been resolved.It should be said that there are many issues that the cabinet has not considered clearly, and many things must be put on the agenda.

So after returning to the house, Duan Xun immediately began to write some of his opinions and asked Chen Bulei to send them to Beijing.Although Duan Xun is in Shanghai, his contact with Beijing is uninterrupted all the time.

There are many suggestions, but mainly three points.
