Beiyang reactionaries

Looking at the young man standing in front of Lu Fazeng, he nodded repeatedly.Because this person is of medium height, a little fat, but looks very young, with piercing eyes, and looks very energetic.Being able to serve as the director of a power plant under Northern Electric at such a young age shows how outstanding his ability is.

"Prime Minister, Director Cai is 32 years old this year. He graduated from the Department of Science and Engineering of Nankai University and studied mechanical design and electrical engineering. Although Director Cai is young, he is a rare top expert in the field of generators in our country and has rich experience. Beginning in the late Qing Dynasty , The design, assembly and installation of steam turbine generators in many power plants in North China and Northeast China are all in charge of General Electric Company of the United Kingdom. Director Cai has been working for General Electric Company of the United Kingdom since he was 21 years old, and participated in North China, Shandong, A large number of power plant projects in Northeast China. Participated in the design and assembly of steam turbine generator units in power plants in Tianjin, Yantai, Qingdao, and Dalian. He was once the only Chinese engineer in the British General Electric Company. At the age of 25, he He was solely responsible for the design of the Yantai Power Plant project.”

Duan Xun listened with gusto.

Sure enough, anyone who can leave a footprint in a certain field in this era has his legendary story.Just like the young man in front of him, he is not well-known outside, and even decades later, people will forget that there was such a person.But he also has a legend of his own.

It can be said that it is very rare in China to be able to design a power plant project alone at the age of 25.

"Factory Manager Cai was poached by the Ministry of Energy Industry when he was 26 years old, and became a senior engineer of the Ministry of Energy Industry. He began to be responsible for the design and manufacture of power machines for many coal mines in China, as well as designing some emergency power plants for coal mines. The last time I was in Nanjing Gathered electrical engineers from our country to compile the design of two [-]-kilowatt generator sets. At that time, Director Cai was the main person in charge. He is not only an excellent turbogenerator engineer, but also has high attainments in the design of power plant units. This time We cooperated with Siemens to build this large generator factory, and Director Cai is the most suitable. So I went to the Ministry of Energy Industry to discuss it many times, and finally got Director Cai to come to Northern Electric.”

"Talent should be valued."

Duan Xun nodded.

Northern Electric is an important project of the Economic and Development Commission, and it is also a key project of Sino-German cooperation.It is precisely because of this that Lu Fa was able to recruit people from the Ministry of Energy Industry as the general manager of Northern Electric.Judging from the current shortage of talents in various departments in China, the Ministry of Energy Industry is definitely unwilling to let go of technical experts like Cai Zhengcui.But even if Lu Fa used to be the general manager of Northern Electric, he didn't know how much thought he had spent trying to recruit people from the Ministry of Energy Industry.

But Duan Xun admired Lu Fazeng's approach very much.

China's political model and economic model is that the central government formulates the overall development plan and makes the most important investment.As for ministries and commissions, local governments, enterprises, and private capital, it is a relationship of competition.Competition between ministries, local governments, and enterprises will not be stopped by the government, but encouraged instead.After the competition, whoever has good grades among them will be able to accumulate political capital.

The development plan formulated by the central government is the general direction.The following competitions bring vitality to the economy and are also the engine of China's economic development.Lu Fa used to be the general manager of Northern Electric. It is commendable for Northern Electric to consider and recruit talents for Northern Electric.Duan Xun is very happy to see this kind of competition for talents below.Where there is competition, there is progress and motivation for development.Even if they are also government-controlled enterprises, they should compete with each other instead of giving them a fair chance.Give more support to whoever does better.

Duan Xun praised Lu Fazeng, turned his head to look at Cai Zhengcui and said, "Director Cai, I know that science cannot be arbitrary. But I still want to ask, when will our generators be made in China. Your generator factory, When will we be able to produce the generators that our power industry needs."

With the development of China's electric power industry, the import of generators in China has gradually become a large expenditure.Generators have become one of the most imported machinery and equipment in China.

"Prime Minister, production and mass production are different. If we only produce some generators, our generator factory can do it now. But our electrical engineers want to understand Siemens' technology thoroughly, digest Siemens' technology, and want to mass produce Generators of various types, it is not a matter of one or two years."

"Haha."

Hearing Cai Zhengcui's direct words, Duan Xun couldn't help smiling, and said, "Look, young people just dare to speak."

Lu Fazeng pulled Cai Zhengcui immediately, telling him not to speak so bluntly.Because what Cai Zhengcui said was too straightforward.Fortunately, the tone was not too aggressive, otherwise it might make Duan Xun unable to get off the stage.

But Duan Xun was not angry.

On the contrary, he praised him very much: "Technology is one thing, one is one, and two is two. We can't be ambiguous, so that our technology can develop. Director Cai, I appreciate your attitude. Just use your current attitude , to overcome Siemens’ technology in generators. I heard that my country began to develop power plants in the late Qing Dynasty. Siemens generators have been used for decades without any major problems. The quality is very good. Compared with generators in other countries There are many problems. This is something we can learn from. I hope that the quality of our domestic generators in the future will be as good as Siemens."

"Yes."

Cai Zhengcui nodded.

Cai Zhengcui is young and energetic.Hearing Duan Xun's words now, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Prime Minister, even if we have not been able to fully digest Siemens' technology, the complete set of equipment has been shipped in and assembled. According to my estimation, although we will not be able to complete mass production next year. But our generator factory should at least be able to produce steam turbine generators with an installed capacity of about [-] kilowatts and hydroelectric generators with an installed capacity of [-] kilowatts."

After all, you are young.

Lu Fa Zeng shook his head slightly from behind.Saying this in front of Duan Xun is equivalent to issuing a military order.If it was Lu Fazeng, he would never say that. It's a pity that Cai Zhengcui has good skills, but he is too young and too impulsive.

But Duan Xun just likes Cai Zhengcui's drive.

That's how young people should be.

"it is good."

The generator factory produces many types of generators.However, if you divide it carefully, the current types of generators are three types of generators.One is a diesel generator, but the cost of this generator is too high, and diesel is used to generate electricity.Therefore, it can only be used in emergencies, and it is impossible to produce it on a large scale.

Then there's the turbo generator.The current generators used in thermal power plants are all steam turbine generators, and with the addition of boilers, thermal power plants are designed.In this regard, China still has a lot of foundation.After all, China has built hundreds of thermal power plants over the years, and has trained a large number of talents in this field.

Then there is the hydroelectric generator.This is used in hydroelectric power plants.China does not have much experience in this regard, because China has built relatively few hydroelectric power plants.The generators used in hydroelectric power plants are all imported from abroad.

"Prime Minister, this is Mo Yong, the director of the Northern Communications Factory under Northern Electric."

"Another young man."

Northern Electric Group.

This is the largest economic cooperation project between China and Germany this year.China traded grain for German machinery and technology.One is generator production equipment, and the other is communication equipment production equipment.

They are all cooperating with Siemens to build China's own electrical group.The second industrial revolution is not yet completely over, and China must grasp the tail of the second industrial revolution.

The electrical industry and the communication industry must be developed.

"Yes, Prime Minister, Director Mo is 34 years old this year. He graduated from the Technical University of Berlin, specializing in telecommunications. He is a senior engineer at the General Post Office. It took me a long time to recruit Director Mo from the General Post Office. "

"kindness."

"Prime Minister, Director Mo is the child of Minister Mo Yongzhen of the Ministry of Water Resources."

"Oh? So that's the case, it's really a tiger father but no dog son."

Duan Xun looked at Mo Yong again, and there was indeed Mo Yongzhen's shadow.Mo Yongzhen is an old-fashioned revolutionary party. After the Revolution of 1928, he served as a council member of the Nanjing government, and soon served as a member of the National Assembly.After Duan Xun entered Beijing, because Mo Yongzhen was in charge of managing Taihu Lake, he was appointed as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Water Resources.It's just that he died of illness at a young age in [-].

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him turned out to be Mo Yongzhen's child.

"Director Mo, I am a soldier, so I understand the role of communication better than anyone else. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Whoever can control the communication can control the initiative on the battlefield. The world is developing rapidly, and the development of communication is even more so. Not only The military, politics, and economy are all inseparable from communication. The role of communication will become more and more important. Your northern communication factory, as the first large-scale factory that produces communication equipment in our country, shoulders a great responsibility. The future development of our country's communications industry depends on the development of your factory."

"Prime Minister, since our factory is so important, can I make a request."

Mo Yong looked up at Duan Xun as he spoke.

Duan Xun couldn't help smiling again, and said to the people next to him: "Look, look. Today's young people are full of vigor and courage, which makes me very happy. Looking at them, I can't help but think of Ren Gong (Liang Qichao) What I said. Today’s responsibility does not lie with others, but with my youth. The wise youth will make the country wise, the youth rich will make the country rich, and the youth strong will make the country strong. How good Ren Gong said, China’s future lies with them young people People. If they are strong, China is strong. Director Mo, tell me, let me hear what the requirements are."

"Yes."

Mo Yong said: "Prime Minister, although the General Post Office has always been responsible for the construction of communications in our country, the construction of those lines has hired foreign experts, and we have rarely built them ourselves. So the General Post Office seems to be responsible for the construction of communications across the country, but in this respect In fact, there are not many talents in my country. On the contrary, in the field of communication construction, the military has built many of them by itself. And I heard that the military has been improving communication problems. In recent years, many of our talents in this field have been recruited by the military. Specially hired. When I was in the General Post Office, every time we robbed talents in this area, we couldn’t rob the military.”

"What do you mean? Want to rob someone from the military?"

"Do not."

Mo Yong shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, I hope we can cooperate with the military communications unit. They have talents in this field, and we have orders and markets."

Duan Xun was silent for a while.

Military-civilian cooperation is not something that can be done just by talking about it.Although Duan Xun tried his best to suppress the military, the special status of the military was formed in history, and it is difficult to suppress the strength of the military in a short period of time.Moreover, the army has the way of the army. They are more domineering, or more powerful in what they do.

Due to special reasons, the military needs talents and even money.Under normal circumstances, when the military comes forward, there will be preferential policies.Mo Yong wanted to use military communications talents to develop Northern Communications Company.

"Manager Lu, since Director Mo has made such a request, I will greet the military. You and the military communication unit will contact you on your own. As for how you cooperate, that is your business, and I will not interfere."

"Thank you Prime Minister."

In Northern Electric Group, Duan Xun turned the factory around.

This time the import is a complete set of equipment.There are many departments in the generator factory, including the production of steam turbine generators, water turbine generators, diesel generators, and boiler equipment. The types are very complete.

Communication production equipment also includes a lot.There are all kinds of machinery and equipment for the production of telegraphs, telephones, and tape recorders, as well as supporting factories for these communication equipment.Hitler really wanted to cooperate with China, even weapons and equipment could be transferred to China, not to mention other industrial equipment.Hitler didn't care what China was in his mind, but his idea of ​​cooperating with China was real.So I didn't tamper with these cooperations, on the contrary, I was very generous.
