Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 36

When more than 20 young people were busy with Xie Kai’s exams, and the entire 404 city personnel from all aspects were transferred to the Hongqi Machinery Factory’s technical department to supplement technical research materials, the capital’s first machinery department, the major equipment technology introduction office, and the office Director Luo Zhenxing is rubbing his forehead.

“Leader, Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries once again proposed that it must give a reply as soon as possible, otherwise the negotiation with us will be cancelled.” The forty-something secretary knocked on the office door.

The news brought Luo Zhenxing’s head even more.

“Isn’t the Ministry of Commerce talking to them? Why should we reply as soon as possible?” Luo Zhenxing rubbed his forehead again.

“The Ministry of Commerce said that this is the equipment we need and we have to decide.” Secretary Yang Feng said cautiously.

“Decide a fart! The RB people are not at ease. The CNC system is what we urgently need. What are the second-hand garbage machine tools from the 1950s and 1960s? What’s more, they are all ordinary equipment.” Luo Zhenxing patted the office angrily. Said the table. “Where is the Fifth Machine Department? They agreed to the RB terms?”

“I just don’t agree.” Yang Feng looked at Luo Zhenxing helplessly.

He also knows that the conditions of RB people are too harsh.

“Then let them go! You communicate with the Fifth Machine Department and ask them when they have time. Let’s sit and communicate…” Luo Zhenxing thought for a while and said to Yang Feng.

“Chief, the comrades from the Fifth Machinery Department have arrived. There are also personnel from the Ministry of Commerce… waiting for you in the conference room…”

“Why didn’t you say it earlier!” Luo Zhenxing got up and walked outside after speaking.

Jianguomen International Trade Business District (construction has not yet begun), Jianguo Hotel.

At the door of a small meeting room, there are a few black bodyguards holding handles, and in the meeting room, a few short RB people are having a meeting.

“Everyone, no matter how much they pay, they can’t sell CNC technology. The complete system will be sold to them as long as they agree to our terms. Of course, it must be low-end. I hope you don’t miss it.” Masao Yoshikawa presided over the meeting. A small RB old man in his 50s, I emphasize again here.

“Your Excellency, for the Chinese, the lowest-end products are already high-end, and they can fully meet their needs! If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t be able to get an advanced CNC system at all!” Oda Fuyuan, in his 30s, smiled Said.

The others smiled and nodded.

“Oda-kun is right, except for us, the Chinese people will not get it! Limited to the Batumi Agreement, the United States cannot sell CNC systems to them, not to mention the American CNC systems are not that good…Germany has better technology than us. , But it is strictly regulated…Even our low-end products are the only source that Chinese people can get!” A middle-aged man in his forties slapped Oda Fuyuan’s flattery.

“Jun Jing is right. But at present, the Chinese have not accepted our kindness…” Masao Yoshikawa looked at his subordinates appreciatively.

“Your Excellency, since the Chinese are unwilling to accept our goodwill, we can delay it. Without our CNC system, it is them who are anxious!” Oda Fuyuan suggested, “They urgently need products in this area, otherwise, they will also It’s impossible to talk to us for so long.”

“We are for their sake. Although the second-hand equipment is older and cheaper, its production accuracy and technical performance are higher than those of their own production equipment!” Saburo Inbebe put on a surprised expression.

It caused laughter in the entire conference room.

“Yes, we provide a complete set of numerical control systems, including numerical control systems, and machine tools. Otherwise, how can we bypass the Batumi embargo agreement?” Oda Fuyuan’s face was like a flower blooming.

“You guys, we must find a way to get China to agree to our terms. Those second-hand equipment sold to them are far more profitable than selling them as scrap. Chinese officials don’t know the technology. We clean our equipment and then repair it. They are completely I can’t see it, but their technical staff knows that they must find a way to keep their technical staff from participating…”

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere in the small meeting room of Jianguo Hotel, the small meeting room of the First Machinery Department is filled with smoke.

More than a dozen participants of different ages had almost the same expressions on their faces—angry, helpless!

Luo Zhenxing was holding half of the cigarette in his hand. He frowned and looked at the people around the conference table. He took a deep breath and made the cigarette shorter. Then he said, “I’ll tell you first if you want to agree to the Japanese side. The conditions put forward are to pack and buy their second-hand garbage machine tools, and I will not sign.”

“Director Luo, the RB people have already issued an ultimatum and negotiated for nearly two years. No matter whether the United States or Germany, we can’t get the CNC system…” Zheng Tao, director of the Office of Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products of the Ministry of Commerce, also frowned. A look of helplessness. “We have been unable to make breakthroughs in China, otherwise we would be so passive!”

“No matter how passive, we can’t agree to their non-discriminatory requirements. If it is for technology, we will bite our teeth and endure it. But what they give is only products, not technology! It is OK to agree to their conditions, we only need the system.” Tan Qingyuan, deputy director of the Equipment Guarantee Bureau of the Fifth Machinery Department, raised his brows and said.

As a soldier, he has been able to suppress his anger to such a degree, and he is already commendable.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

He knows that the military industry needs CNC equipment.

The numerical control system is the key to numerical control equipment.

“Old Tan, you are not kind! You want the system, do you give us the remaining garbage?” Luo Zhenxing was unhappy.

The condition put forward by RB people is to sell them in packages.

A set of CNC system is bound to a second-hand machine tool that is almost scrapped.

It is also plausible that in order to help China improve its technological level and increase its manufacturing capabilities, it is not only willing to support China’s advanced CNC systems, but also support some high-precision conventional machining equipment.

Taking into account the lack of foreign exchange in China, the cost of new machine tools is too high, they have eliminated machine tools that have not been used for a few years, which is in line with China’s needs, and the cost is lower…

In the beginning, the Ministry of Commerce received such a condition and almost agreed to it.

The No. 1 Machinery Department in charge of the industry and the No. 5 Machinery Department of the Weaponry Industry sent a technical team to inspect the equipment and directly refused on the spot.

The rubbish given by RB has a bright appearance and serious internal wear, which cannot be used for finishing!

What can I do when I buy a machine that cannot be finished?

What’s more, it’s just an ordinary machine tool, and the research is meaningless.

It can also be produced in China, even if the quality is poor and the processing accuracy is poor.

“We ourselves have a lot of equipment to be eliminated!” Tan Qingyuan snorted coldly, “Anyway, you are not short of these equipment!”

“I’m talking about two people, let’s study business!” Zheng Tao saw the two arguing, and patted his swollen head.

If the two guys quarreled, they would be gone this morning.

Everyone is very busy.

“No study, we don’t want it anyway!” What Zheng Tao didn’t expect was that Tan Qingyuan and Luo Zhenxing, who were still hurting each other just now, said in unison.

“No? How can we get our own CNC technology without introducing research?” Zheng Tao was speechless.

Everyone knows how important numerical control technology is to China.

However, many domestic researches on this technology have not made a breakthrough.

If there is relevant technology in China, does he need to look at the face of the little devil?

For a while, the meeting room fell silent again.

Everyone knows that no one is willing to agree to Japan’s non-discretionary demands.

This is a shame!

Because there is no domestic technology, so they are so bullied. Even the Ministry of Commerce had to bow their heads and say good things to a foreign company…

“The domestic situation, everyone knows, whether the military industry or the civilian industry, the technology is too far behind Europe and the United States. The purpose of reform and opening up is to introduce technology, digest and absorb, and then make breakthroughs on the basis, develop our technology, and catch up with foreign advanced… …” Zheng Tao’s tone was serious.

The others were silent.

“As for the introduction of the CNC system this time, you know how much the leaders are concerned. How many comrades of the Ministry of Commerce have been neglected during the negotiation with the Japanese side, and how many times they have been ridiculed by their language. You also have this embarrassment. Experience.” Zheng Tao continued, “If it is not for the country to catch up, who wants to?”

In technology introduction negotiations, China has no advantage at all.

Make things difficult everywhere.

A small foreign company can make things difficult for senior cadres in relevant state departments, and these cadres who have been made things difficult can only accompany smiling faces.

Such things have been happening all the time.

Even if they are humiliated, even if they feel wronged, no one is willing to give up the introduction of technology.

China’s technological foundation is too poor.

Only by introducing technology can we quickly shorten the technological gap with foreign countries and catch up.

It’s not that domestic technicians didn’t work hard enough. After the establishment of New China, the country completed industrialization in a short period of time on the basis of poverty and poverty. This is a feat of mankind.

Simply completing industrialization is far from enough.

Foreign industries have developed for more than two hundred years, and technical experience and talents have also accumulated for more than two hundred years.

Since the founding of New China, it has only been 35 years!

If you are behind you will be beaten, and you can only be bullied if you are behind.

Therefore, knowing the humiliation, everyone can only endure silently, in order to gain foreign technical experience and surpass them.

“Old Zheng, everyone knows the grievances in your heart, but their conditions are too excessive. The price of the CNC system was originally high, a set of tens of thousands of dollars! We have to force us to buy their unusable second-hand garbage equipment , And even put forward requirements in other fields… Our country’s foreign exchange is precious, and the introduction of a thousand sets will cost hundreds of millions of dollars! We can’t do this thing!” Luo Zhenxing lit a cigarette again.

These words were almost squeezed out from between the teeth.

“If hundreds of millions of funds are invested in domestic technology research and development…” Tan Qingyuan’s tone was also full of loneliness.
