Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 154 Is there a big problem in the mold center?

Cao Yang is very busy during this time.

Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. has now entered a critical period of development.

The equipment center has a batch of press orders that need to be delivered, and the gearbox division has to build a new factory and increase the production capacity of supporting parts.

As a result, the Nanshan Industrial Park, which was originally thought to have 1000 acres of land, turned out to be a bit insufficient.

"Mr. Cao, have you received an order from Ford Motor Company for your gearbox?"

After much deliberation, Cao Yang thought it would be better to report to Liu Tianwu quickly and take advantage of the fact that there is still a lot of open space around Nanshan Industrial Park to get more land.

As a star company in the district, Cao Yang naturally met Liu Tianwu easily.

"Leader, because this matter involves some cooperation with Ford on the 6AT automatic transmission, neither party has publicized it."

"But our 6AT has confirmed that we have won some orders from Ford. All of Changan Ford's 6AT gearboxes will be equipped with our products and will be mass-produced in January 2003."

"As for the 6AT supplied to Ford Motor's U.S. plant, delivery will begin after all experiments are confirmed."

"This schedule can basically be determined to be in the first half of next year."

At this time, Cao Yang would naturally not retaliate so aggressively.

As long as this order is confirmed and Liu Tianwu understands that Nanshan is not a white wolf and is not playing a land game, that is enough.

"Can your turnover reach 10 billion this year?"

Investment in this era naturally depends on the size of the company.

The larger and more famous the company, the easier it is to obtain various preferential conditions.

"There is definitely no problem with 10 billion. If ideal, it can reach about 12 billion."

"Our equipment center is now starting to work hard, and the mold center has also received a lot of orders."

"When all the factories in Nanshan Industrial Park are put into operation in the first half of next year, our sales will usher in a blowout period."

"We estimate that next year's turnover will exceed 50 billion."

When Cao Yang said this, Liu Tianwu was immediately moved.

There is not even one industrial enterprise with a scale of RMB 50 billion in the district.

This is still the kind of technical enterprise that has mastered core component technology, which deserves even more attention.

"This industrial park covering an area of ​​1000 acres has not yet been fully put into production. Another 1000 acres of land will be acquired immediately. I am afraid that some special agreement conditions will need to be signed."

Liu Tianwu is naturally inclined to support Nanshan.

But he also wants to avoid his own risks.

If the land is given to Nanshan and the other party refuses to develop it, then he will be under great pressure.

"Leader, feel free to ask for any conditions you have."

"Whatever I can do, I will try my best to do."

“Whatever I can’t do, I will try my best to create conditions to do it.”

When it’s time to pat your chest, it’s natural to pat your chest.

What's more, Cao Yang is very confident about the company's prospects.

"Okay, in that case, let me tell you some things to pay attention to."

When Liu Tianwu saw that Cao Yang was determined to win, he felt a little more confident.

"First, for the second phase of the Nanshan Industrial Park project, if the district completes the land acquisition and three connections and one leveling in the past few months, then the construction of all factories and the installation of some equipment must be started within next year, and all the land must be utilized within the next year. stand up."

"And Nanshan's output value in the industrial park must exceed 30 billion next year, and 60 billion the year after that."

Although Cao Yang said it was hoped that the turnover would exceed 50 billion next year, Liu Tianwu did not dare to be so radical.

By then Nanshan's boast will be too big, and if he fails to do so, the main promoter of his project will also face a lot of pressure.

"The most important thing is that these lands are industrial lands. Except for a small number of dormitory facilities, they are not allowed to be used to build a large number of buildings other than factories."

What Liu Tianwu is most worried about is that Cao Yang will take this opportunity to engage in real estate.

Since real estate began to be commercialized in 98, the real estate market has been relatively hot in recent years.

Many of your businessmen have begun to target this industry.

Even the bosses of some industrial companies have begun to transform.

The land is used to build houses and factories, and the price difference is huge.

Liu Tianwu felt that this thunder should be eliminated in advance.

"No problem, this new site is mainly prepared for the gearbox factory and its components."

"Nanshan has no plans to enter the real estate field, not now and not in the future."

Cao Yang really didn't fool Liu Tianwu.

You can build a headquarters building yourself or support one or two staff dormitories or something like that.

It is certainly not necessary to simply engage in real estate.

Some industries are capital-focused, some industries are technology-focused, and real estate is relationship-focused.

This is not suitable for Cao Yang.

"Is there so much demand for this gearbox? Does it require a factory covering a thousand acres of land?"

Although Liu Tianwu is not a professional, he has met many investors and still has the basic concepts.

"A simple gearbox assembly factory naturally does not require so much land."

"But we are planning to set up a factory there in the future to produce TCU and other control parts."

"At that time, it will be able to fully satisfy our production of control parts, including machine tool CNC systems."

If Nanshan wants to be the world's number one parts company, will it be able to deal with a mere thousand acres of land?

"Speaking of machine tool CNC systems, I heard that you guys made quite a fuss in Nanshan some time ago and taught Siemens and FANUC a lesson?"

Obviously, Liu Tianwu has also been paying attention to Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

"In the short term, I can only tell them not to be so arrogant. Machine tool CNC systems are not irreplaceable."

"But due to production capacity and model reasons, we actually don't even have a [-]% share of domestic machine tool CNC systems."

"When our production capacity is released, that's when Siemens and Fanuc will really cry and faint on the ground."

Cao Yang still has very high expectations for CNC systems and control parts.

In the future, we hope that the factory will not only be able to produce SMT processes, not only PCB boards, but also various diodes, memories and chips on them.

Although this goal is not that easy to achieve, there is still hope as long as our own control parts become famous.

The chips used in auto parts are actually not chips with the most advanced technology, they just have higher requirements for automotive regulations.

Only in the era of intelligent network connection have high requirements been placed on the computing power of chips.

"If Nanshan has this ambition, the district will definitely give it its full support."

"At first SKF wanted to build a factory in the area, but they asked us to help the gangsters deal with Nanshan. I refused."

"As long as Nanshan develops its industry in a down-to-earth manner and makes its parts and equipment business bigger and stronger, whether it requires land or policies, I will fully support it."

Liu Tianwu watched Nanshan develop rapidly in the past two years.

He is still very confident about Nanshan's future.

So far, he has not seen any domestic auto parts company with the technical strength and development speed as strong as Nanshan.

……

After settling the land issue for the second phase of Nanshan Industrial Park, Cao Yang immediately followed a group of technicians in the laboratory again, guiding the research on various technologies such as numerical control systems, surface treatment, and gearbox structures.

However, this busy and fulfilling life did not last for a few days before He Qingquan brought him bad news.

"Master, a set of molds used on the 2000-ton TRF at Huaqiang Factory has cracked."

"Although after a few days of mold repair, it can still be used normally and will not affect the production of parts."

"But the situation is a bit concerning."

He Qingquan is now the deputy director of the Equipment Research Center and the director of the Mold Center.

After Pan Jinxing arrived, the director of the equipment center became his.

In addition to being responsible for the stamping equipment closely related to molds, He Qingquan completely ignores other machine tool businesses.

Even so, the daily workload is actually quite large.

Now that the mold is cracking, it is definitely not a minor problem.

Normally, there is no problem if a set of molds can be stamped 50 times, as long as routine maintenance is performed in between.

But mold cracking definitely does not fall into the scope of routine maintenance.

"Normally speaking, with the output of Yangcheng Honda, our molds will not crack until the Accord is replaced, right?"

Facing the serious quality problem of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.'s first order in many years, Cao Yang immediately put down the work at hand.

He has passed the design of many of these molds, so there should be no major problems.

Something happened now, and we must find out the reason.

"Preliminary analysis is that the quality of the mold steel is not good."

"Most of the current mold steel is KD11 from Dongying Jingkou, but it is relatively expensive, costing dozens of yuan per kilogram."

“所以我们是使用江/阴兴澄的4Cr5MoSiV1和6CrW2Si，也有部分是从宝钢购买的3Cr2W8V。”

"When processing ordinary parts, the problem is not big."

"But the mold used on the 2000-ton TRF is larger, and the advantage of processing JAC590R45/45 material is that the mold requirements are relatively high."

"That's why this cracking occurred."

He Qingquan obviously made some confirmations before coming to report to Cao Yang.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to simply report and then ask questions without knowing anything.

"The highest strength material on the car body now is basically 590."

"But in the future, parts such as A-pillars, B-pillars, and door sill reinforcements will slowly use more and more 780, 980, or even 1180 materials."

"This problem must be solved."

Cao Yang knows the importance of steel better than anyone else.

Special steel is China's weakest point.

Special steels such as bearing steel, gear steel, and mold steel can be produced by domestic steel plants.

But the quality of the special steel they produce on a large scale is definitely not world-class.

It can only barely meet part of the domestic demand.

"Master, at present, neither Baosteel nor Anshan Iron and Steel, nor Wuhan Iron and Steel, nor Guangzhou Iron and Steel can produce KD11 and KM8 that are comparable to Japan's Kobe Steel and Nippon Steel."

"How about we use mold steel imported from Japan for our large molds and inserts in the future?"

"In some unimportant places, domestic mold steel can continue to be used."

As a mold expert, He Qingquan is naturally familiar with the situation of domestic mold steel.

Now there was a problem with the material, and he couldn't find a better solution.

Can't Nanshan produce mold steel by itself?

This is obviously unrealistic.

"No, we want to make the mold center bigger and stronger, so 100% localization is a very important task."

"If the mold steel is imported, and the various standard parts inside are purchased from MISUMI, and we are only responsible for some processing, the competitiveness will not be much higher than that of outside mold manufacturers."

"But domestic steel companies are not living up to expectations."

"If they can provide qualified mold steel, then they will naturally purchase it all from China."

"Now there is a problem with the mold used on the 2000-ton TRF. What about the 3000-ton and 2500-ton TRFs from Apex and Weifu Technology?"

"If that mold cracks after being stamped tens of thousands of times after it is produced, our reputation will be lost."

He Qingquan felt that Cao Yang was too idealistic.

In the era of globalization, isn’t it normal to import some materials or components?

Anyway, some of the better domestic molds use imported materials.

If you don't use it, maybe customers still have opinions.

"You are right, but as a short-term countermeasure, you can add carburizing and nitriding treatment to the mold to improve its wear resistance and toughness."

"At the same time, a sufficient margin should be reserved during design so that cracking is less likely to occur."

Cao Yang was quickly thinking about how to solve the mold steel problem.

Whether it's mold steel, bearing steel, or gear steel, he has the formula for it all.

He can even handle some technological processes.

But it is obviously unrealistic for Nanshan, who has never been exposed to the steel industry, to build a steel plant by himself.

Not to mention that the higher-ups will not easily approve the new steel plant project. Even if they agree to build it, Nanshan can't find anyone to take charge.

There are many equipments involved in the steel plant, and the various processes are also very professional.

Without a systematic team to prevent the construction of the factory area, it would not be possible at all.

"Master, this can only be a temporary countermeasure. At most, it can only appropriately extend the life of the mold."

"But in the face of increasingly higher strength requirements, it is estimated that it will still crack after less than 20 punches."

He Qingquan obviously felt that Cao Yang's plan was not so perfect.

"The wool comes from the sheep anyway. We use imported molds and the price is just higher."

"Master, if you have any objections to Japanese mold steel, we can also import it from Europe."

“Or it’s not impossible to buy it from Pohang Steel in Korea.”

He Qingquan still hopes to use imported mold steel.

Otherwise, he, the director of the mold center, would be under a lot of pressure.

No one knows if one day the mold will crack again.

"Didn't people from Shaogang and Guangzhou Iron and Steel come to visit some time ago?"

"They want to promote their own special steel, and I just have some ideas that I can share with them."

"You make arrangements, and we will visit them separately in a few days."
