Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Of course, it is not impossible. The company’s existing Q398 high-strength steel can be used to make the boom of the long-arm excavator. The goods can still be delivered as scheduled, but the quality will not meet expectations.

Q398 is the steel used to produce cement pump trucks. It has a higher yield strength than the original excavator arm steel, and it is barely acceptable for making the arm.

But Xingyuan was working on a long-arm excavator for the first time, and Yuanxia didn't want to work too hard for fear of damaging his reputation.

To be on the safe side, Yuanxia made three preparations, first using Q398 to produce the boom of the required specifications, and at the same time improving the production technology of Q510, and looking for alternative steel products in China.

The material processing workshop does not work day and night, and the workers are switched to three shifts. Teng Zhifei stays in the workshop day and night, sleeping only four or five hours a day.

Teacher Lin was getting old, of course Teng Zhifei couldn't bear to let his tutor do this, and Yuan Xia didn't dare to make the old professor work so hard.

Yuan Xia didn't go home these days, and stayed in the factory for food and lodging. Seeing that Teng Zhifei was so tired that he was losing weight, he advised him: "Zhifei, go back and have a rest, don't wait. If you can't do it , let’s replace it with Q398.”

Teng Zhifei yawned and said, "I'm not reconciled, I've done this for the sake of it, and I can't believe I can't get in! There's still time, I want to try again."

Teng Zhifei cheered up again, worked day and night for a week, and finally conquered this problem.

Everyone was overjoyed, Yuan Xia mobilized the factory workers to work overtime, and processed this batch of steel.

Teng Zhifei fell ill from exhaustion and had a persistent high fever, so he stayed in the hospital for several days.

Yuan Xia gave him half a month's leave, and took a good rest for a few days after he was discharged from the hospital. When he returned to his post, the shipment had already been dispatched as scheduled.

This delivery was like a war. Fortunately, although it was tense and thrilling, the war was not lost in the end.

Both Yuan Xia and Teng Zhifei have made a profound self-criticism, and they can no longer be passive like this time if they want to fight a prepared battle.

Teng Zhifei put forward a plan to gradually conquer the steel that may be used in the future, even if it is not used after research and development, he can sell this steel to those in need in the future.

Yuan Xia supported his approach and fully supported him in terms of material and manpower.

Yuan Xia just breathed a sigh of relief about the materials, and the people in the purchasing department gave him another message: the German company they purchased the hydraulic cylinders said that the orders for this year are full, and they can no longer provide them with hydraulic cylinders. Tanks, if you need them, you can only wait for next year, and the amount that can be supplied to them next year is also limited.

Yuan Xia heard the news and confirmed it with the purchasing manager again: "Is that really what they said?"

The purchasing manager replied in the affirmative: "Yes."

Yuan Xia frowned. It shouldn’t be. My company purchases thousands of hydraulic cylinders of different types from them every year. Although it’s not a big customer, the cooperation has been going on for several years, and it’s increasing year by year. It’s obviously a potential company. Customers, what do they mean by limited supply?

Yuan Xia said: "Then find another brand."

The manager asked: "Are you still looking for German?"

"Well, try other brands." Yuan Xia said.

The hydraulic cylinder manufacturer they are currently cooperating with is recognized as the best hydraulic cylinder brand. Yuanxia knows that the quality of its own products is not as good as those of international brands in terms of technical details and materials, so the engine and hydraulic cylinder, the core components of the machine, are both It is the best foreign brand to buy, just to make up for the quality gap.

But he didn't expect that there is still a limited supply. It seems that the German brand has a good reputation, so there are so many orders?

It seems that we still have to solve the problem of the hydraulic cylinder by ourselves, otherwise, if this kind of thing happened during the rush for production and delivery, the consequences would be much more serious than the high-strength steel this time.

By the time the orders for the Canton Fair were delivered, it was already the early summer graduation season, and Yuan Xia went to various colleges and universities to recruit non-stop.

This time he was more targeted, and specifically sought out several universities with strong hydraulics majors, such as Zhejiang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Beihang University, to recruit.

These are first-class universities, and the job distribution naturally has advantages over ordinary universities, so naturally not many people are willing to go to private companies.But Yuan Xia still has to give it a try, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and if hired with a high salary, there should still be people willing to come.

When he was recruiting, he still adopted the same strategy as when he recruited Teng Zhifei. Welcome to Xingyuan for an internship, and even reimburse the fare.

You can go to the assigned unit to work first, and if you are not satisfied, you can go to Xingyuan to work, which gives you full freedom of choice.

When I went to Harbin Institute of Technology for recruitment, I naturally stopped by to see Yuanchun and Qian Shenyu.

Yuanchun graduated from graduate school this year, but she has a direct Ph. D. If all goes well, she will have to study for two more years.

Qian Shenyu blogged directly with her, and both of them planned to get married after graduating from Ph.D.

When Yuan Chun learned the purpose of his elder brother's trip, he was shocked: "Brother, is your factory so powerful now? They have all come to our school to recruit!"

Yuan Xia raised his eyebrows: "Why? I still don't know your brother's strength? We are now the leader in private construction machinery, and our products and sales are no worse than those state-owned machinery factories. Just wait, your brother will make a machine for you in the future." It is the first in the country, and it will compete with well-known brands in the world in the future.”

Yuan Chun gave a thumbs up: "Come on big brother! Did you hear that, big brother wants to be the number one in the country, we have to work hard too, let China's aerospace industry also strive to be the number one in the world." She said and kicked her boyfriend with her elbow.

Qian Shenyu looked at his girlfriend and smiled dotingly. China is still far from the first group in the aerospace field, but if his girlfriend wants to be the number one in the world, he will naturally accompany him: "Okay."

Yuan Xia said: "Actually, it's not impossible. The Soviet Union was disbanded, and Russia is now a land of feathers. The professors are so poor that they can't even afford to eat, and they are unable to develop the aviation field. Only the United States is left alone, and they are alone. We won’t go all out as we did before in the arms race. We have a chance to catch up. As long as China develops its economy well, it will have the money to develop its space industry. I think you two are good at catching up with China’s space development. It's time."

Yuan Chun nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

Yuan Xia talked about the business: "I want to recruit some people majoring in hydraulic systems in your school. Do you know any tutors or graduate students who study this? I want to recruit some graduate students. Materials majors are also needed."

Yuan Chun turned to look at Qian Shenyu: "Do you know him?"

Qian Shenyu said: "Zhang Liang in the dormitory next door to me studies hydraulic systems, and his supervisor, Professor Cui Guodong, is an expert in domestic hydraulic systems."

Yuan Xia's eyes lit up, and he said, "Can you make an appointment with Zhang Liang for me? How long has he studied? Where has the work been assigned?"

Qian Shenyu said: "Those who are in the same class as us seem to have been assigned to the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

When Yuan Xia heard this, he was a little discouraged. Although he had scooped up experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences before, that was in his previous life, and now Xing Yuan might not have much advantage.

Yuan Chun asked: "Brother, shall we see you again?"

Yuan Xia nodded: "See you! Shenyu, please make an appointment for me."

Qian Shenyu fully agreed: "Okay!"

That night, Qian Shenyu invited Zhang Liang to have dinner together, and Yuan Xia was naturally the host.

This was an extremely informal interview, neither Yuan Xia nor Zhang Liang thought that they would have an interview at the dinner table.

When Zhang Liang got the business card Yuan Xia handed over, he didn't take it seriously, he just dealt with it with his mouth.

Yuanchun was more blunt and said: "Zhang Liang, we are not joking with you. You can really go to my brother's factory to have a look. Anyway, the fare is reimbursed for you, so it's just a trip. My brother The factory's sales of hundreds of millions a year are really not lying to you."

Zhang Liang looked at Qian Shenyu with suspicion in his eyes, thinking that your girlfriend's family is really a billionaire?I can't see it at all.

Qian Shenyu saw his doubts and said, "What Yuanchun said is true, I won't lie to you. When did I brag?"

In fact, he didn't know how big Xingyuan was, but he chose to trust his girlfriend unconditionally.

Zhang Liang believed that Qian Shenyu would not brag. This person is extremely awesome. He is usually very low-key and does not show his talents.

Yuan Xia said: "China's current hydraulic system is very different from the international ones, and there is no right to speak in this field, but I believe China will not be like this forever, and we will produce hydraulic cylinders as good as Rexroth, Youyan, and Enpac. .”

Zhang Liang heard him say that catching up with these top international brands felt a little unlikely, but he still admired Yuan Xia's courage and said, "Well, let's go and have a look after I graduate."

After the interview with Zhang Liang, Yuan Xia went to meet Zhang Liang's mentor, Cui Guodong. Although it was impossible to recruit him to his company, he expressed the hope that he would have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

While Yuan Xia was busy recruiting, Chong Yang was also facing graduation assignments.His original place of residence was Suyang, so the school assigned him to be an art teacher at Suyang High School.

When Chongyang got the job assignment sheet, he said to Yuanxia helplessly: "I couldn't get into Suyang High School at the beginning, but I didn't expect to get in this way. Why didn't I be assigned to the Greater High School? Anyway, That's my alma mater."

Yuan Xia said: "When I bought the house, your household registration has been transferred to the school, and your original household registration is Suyang by default, so I assigned you back. In fact, Suyang High School is not bad, don't you want to go back? "

Chongyang said: "No, it's just that I'm in Suyang alone, a little far away from you. But Uncle Ma's family is still in Suyang, so it's not all because I went without relatives or reasons."

Yuan Xia said: "If you want to go abroad, I can sponsor you to go."

"Let's see." Chongyang knew that his brother was talking about going abroad at his own expense, but going abroad at his own expense was too expensive, at least hundreds of thousands a year, so he couldn't enjoy the convenience provided by his elder brother with peace of mind.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed. Just think of me as an investment in you. If you become a painter in the future, a painting can sell for tens of thousands of 10,000+. If you paint a few paintings a year, you can pay back the money." Yuan Xia He said with a smile that he doesn't really care, he can still afford to support a painter by himself.

"Well, I'll think about it again." Chongyang still didn't immediately agree.

Yuan Dong has already received an offer from Intel, and plans to work at Intel for two to three years.

His girlfriend, Chang Le, who graduated with a Ph.D. this year, changed her plan for him, stayed in the United States, and got an offer from Microsoft.

They plan to come back this summer for their wedding.
