King of Industry

In the office, after listening to Yao Gang's words, Zhao Guoyang immediately nodded and said: Leader Yao said that Africa is known as the 'world's raw material storehouse', with many types of mineral resources and large reserves. It is rare in the world. The most important thing is that most of the mineral resources in Africa are concentrated and very easy to mine.”

The production of gold and diamonds in the African continent ranks first in the world, and the reserves of chromium, cobalt, titanium, tantalum, germanium, lithium and diamond account for the vast majority of the world's total reserves. In addition, platinum, uranium, bauxite, copper, tin and petroleum And natural gas reserves are also huge...

Zhao Guoyang said in an extremely serious tone: Strengthening cooperation with African countries in the development of mineral resources will not only break the blockade of Western countries on China's rare metal resources; Greater improvement is definitely a win-win thing!

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's sound analysis, Yao Gang nodded in satisfaction.

He is very clear about Zhao Guoyang's knowledge in industrial technology and resource development.

Yao Gang was not surprised at all that Zhao Guoyang was able to say these words.

After Zhao Guoyang finished talking about this passage, Yao Gang smiled and said, That's very good, Guoyang. It seems that you have already made up your mind about this trip to Africa, so we can rest assured!

By the way, this trip to Africa will be led by Bao Anjun, the director of the African Department of the Ministry, as the head of the trade and investment promotion group. Guoyang, you and Zhang Zheke, the vice president of the Huaxia International Trade Promotion Committee, are both vice-presidents. Chief. Among them, Guoyang, you still have another identity, that is, you are the representative of non-governmental foreign economic and trade organizations...

Yao Gang said with a smile in his eyes: Isn't your 'SMS Construction Machinery Group' in Guoyang selling a mine hoist? You can definitely sell it during this trip to Africa!

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang was taken aback.

Because he has not been in contact with the country these days, he is not very clear about the sales performance of the new product of his SMS company - the mine hoist.

At this time, after listening to Yao Gang's words, it seems that this mine hoist sold well in China?

There were some doubts in his mind, but Zhao Guoyang didn't ask any questions, just nodded lightly and said: I understand, Leader Yao, in fact, not only mine hoists, but also motorcycles, fire-fighting equipment, all-terrain vehicles And other products are also in short supply in Africa.”

Because our three domestic companies have not formally approved projects for all-terrain vehicles, it must be too late, but we can go to the African continent to sell these motorcycles and fire-fighting equipment!

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, a smile appeared on Yao Gang's face.

That's right, Guoyang, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot about these two things. The road conditions in most parts of Africa are very bad. Where cars can't go, motorcycles can pass unimpeded.

I heard Director Bao Anjun from the African Department say that there seems to be a great demand for motorcycles in several major African countries. It's just that the export markets of several major domestic motorcycle companies do not include African countries, so he can only Looking at the ocean and sighing.

But now, following the Dongfeng of this trade and investment promotion group, Guoyang, you can definitely airlift a few products from your 'Hongda Machinery Factory' to sell them!

Air transport? After hearing Yao Ganghun's indifferent words, Zhao Guoyang was speechless for a while.

You must know that the air freight in the 1990s was very expensive, and a hundred kilograms of things cost thousands of yuan.

It would be better if Zhao Guoyang transported a small amount of motorcycles and fire-fighting equipment by air. If he really chose to transport a mine hoist by air, the price would definitely not be cheap.

Zhao Guoyang is of course a little stunned by the fluffy words of the leader now that the air transportation is as if it does not cost money.

Yao Gang obviously also noticed Zhao Guoyang's astonished gaze, so he smiled and waved his hands and said, Hey, Guoyang, you don't have to worry about the air freight.

This time, our trade and investment promotion group of the Ministry of Foreign Trade has a large number of people and a lot of goods to transport, so the Ministry decided to charter a plane for you.

Since the charter flight fee is paid, the air freight is naturally out of the question.

Yao Gang happily patted Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder and said, Because I know that you may have to bring a lot of products this time, I will help you ask the captain for a total of 10 tons for you...

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang's face burst into joy.

In the early 1990s, the load capacity of an ordinary Boeing 747 was only about 150-200 tons. After deducting the weight of personnel and luggage, the load capacity was about 50 tons.

Now Minister Yao allocated one-fifth of the total cargo load to Zhao Guoyang at once, which was too much consideration for him.

You must know that there must be more than one entrepreneur, Zhao Guoyang, in this trade and investment promotion group.

If it is really divided according to the head, Zhao Guoyang can drop the cargo weight of half a ton, which is not bad.

Leader, since the cargo capacity you gave me is so strong, then I will take out some decent things to go to Africa this trip no matter what.

Zhao Guoyang patted his chest and said solemnly: Don't worry, I'll go back to SJ immediately after reporting to Mr. Li and take care of the few products I have in hand.

If all goes well, five days should be enough time for our 'SMS Company' to come up with a new type of mine hoisting equipment. It is not impossible to even create a prototype of excavator equipment!

Hearing this, Yao Gang showed a bit of surprise on his face: Excavator? Guoyang, when did you start the excavator project? I haven't heard you mention it before!

Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly and said, I have had this idea for a long time, but I have never put it into practice.

The design of the excavator is actually not very difficult. Because the first excavator I conceived is a small, general-purpose excavator, there is no need for customized solutions. It only needs to make some basic settings for its functions and parameters. , do some basic calculations, draw a few drawings and start trial production...

If you really hurry up, I estimate that all the above work can be completed in three days!

Hearing this, Yao Gang was dumbfounded.

He opened his eyes wide and said, In three days, Guoyang, you can complete all the calculation and drawing work? Then... how many assistants do you need?

Hearing Minister Yao's question, Zhao Guoyang just smiled slightly: Leader, the time I just mentioned is the time I need to complete all these tasks by myself.

If I am equipped with a suitable assistant, I think this time can be reduced by at least half!

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking calmly, Yao Gang looked at him like he was looking at an alien.

If it is someone else who is going to say this, not Zhao Guoyang, I guess this boss will definitely sneer.

Noticing Minister Yao's surprised eyes, Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone: Minister Yao, the reason why I dare to say that is also because I have confidence.

Actually, before the trip to North America, I assigned a task to the 'SMS Construction Machinery Group' to collect relevant information on excavator manufacturing.

These ten days have passed, I think they should have sorted out and understood it.

Zhao Guoyang said honestly: As long as the technicians under me have a certain understanding of the excavator, I think the design will not be a problem.

As for the trial-manufacturing issue, that would be a better solution. Immediately I can call Shagang Group and let them start preparing the materials needed for several major parts.

For example, the boom, stick, bucket, rocker, connecting rod and iron parts including the boom cylinder, stick cylinder and bucket cylinder in the backhoe working device can all be prepared first. .”

Zhao Guoyang said confidently: At that time, as soon as the official drawings of our 'SMS Company' are completed, they will be sent to Shagang Group immediately.

Based on their current production capacity, I estimate that the materials we need can be prepared in two days. When the materials are shipped to our factory, they can be trial-manufactured directly by splicing...

Isn't the splicing method prone to problems? For industrial equipment, stability and safety are the most important things? Yao Gang said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang explained with a smile: Minister Yao, don't worry about this. Because we are short on time this time, we will use this splicing method instead of the mold opening method.

Mainly, we also want to take out the product and show the African brothers what our Chinese excavator can look like. We don't really want to use it to start work.

As long as this first level is passed, after our subsequent mass production, all parts must be molded, and in terms of safety performance, there must be nothing to say.

After Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Yao Gang finally let go of his worries.

He rubbed his chin, nodded in satisfaction and said, Okay, as long as Guoyang can get me out of this excavator within five days. I will make the decision this time, and I will give you another three tons of load. Quota. How about it, I didn’t treat you badly, did I?”

When Zhao Guoyang heard that the quota had increased again, the smile on his face became brighter.

He secretly calculated in his heart: the weight of a small excavator is about one to three tons. Since his first sample of the excavator type does not need to be put into use, the crawler frame, travel motor, reducer and Devices such as its pipeline, drive wheel, guide wheel, just all can save.

Calculated in this way, the weight of my excavator prototype may not even be a ton.

Now Minister Yao directly approved his three tons more load, which means that his Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company can transport a few more motorcycles...
