Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Since the financial crisis in 08, the world's economic development has slowed down. Due to my country's timely adoption of macro-control policies and the introduction of ten economic measures to stimulate domestic demand, it has become one of the few economies in the world that has maintained rapid growth after the economic crisis. body.

Since the implementation of the 4 trillion economic plan, the domestic demand for construction machinery has increased greatly, and major construction machinery companies have also entered a new stage of vigorous development. In 2009, China's construction machinery production, sales and sales exceeded those of the United States and Japan. , becoming the world's number one.

Xingyuan has taken advantage of the policy, and its annual output and sales have grown rapidly. The biggest problem now is that the production capacity cannot keep up with the demand. The establishment of the Shanghai branch has greatly eased the production pressure of the Yuecheng head office.

The company has established a complete set of excavator assembly line in the Shanghai branch, which has doubled the original production capacity. The newly developed backhoe loader is also produced in Shanghai, because it is mainly used for export.

One of the excavator production workshops of Yuecheng Headquarters was converted into a hydraulic pump workshop to meet the increasing demand for orders.

After the establishment of the Shanghai branch, Tao Yang finally returned to Yuecheng from Shanghai and continued to assist Yuanxia in managing the company.

This year, Xingyuan's R&D team made new research results. The height of the boom pump truck broke through to 62 meters, becoming the world's tallest boom pump truck.

Yuan Xia knew that the special steel jib had reached this height, and it was already approaching the limit, and it would be difficult to break through further upwards. A breakthrough must be made in the material to achieve a higher pumping height, so he provided this idea to Teng Zhifei.

Teng Zhifei expressed his willingness to try carbon fiber composite materials.

Any technological product, in the end, is a fuss about materials and craftsmanship, because human creativity is unlimited, and it is only limited by realistic conditions.

In July, Yuan Xia went to Shenzhen and found Yuan Dong, intending to cooperate with Minxi Technology and entrust them to design excavator smart chips to cope with the upcoming electric smart excavator.

Prior to this, although integrated ICs were also required for construction machinery, they were relatively simple chips designed by a team led by Qu Wenyuan, much simpler than chips for computer sewing machines.After the design is completed, it can be entrusted to the chip manufacturer to make it.

But the smart chip is more complicated, Yuan Xia wants more functions, and plans to find a more professional team to design it, which can be regarded as supporting Yuan Dong's career.

Yuandong listened to the elder brother's explanation of his purpose, and said, "This shouldn't be difficult, brother, let me help you design it."

Yuan Xia nodded: "I didn't entrust this to you personally, but our company entrusted it to your company. If it's not convenient for you, you can ask your colleagues to design it."

"Okay." Yuan Dong fully agreed.

"How's your company doing?" Yuan Xia knew that Yan Min's goal of establishing his own company was definitely to make a name for himself in the semiconductor industry.

Yuan Dong said: "It's not bad. We are doing chip processing and developing products independently. We already have our own computers and smartphones, and the benefits are not bad."

Yuan Xia patted his arm: "That's not bad, keep going!" Yuan Xia felt that Minxi's idea was right, it was better to control the chip processing in his own hands than to be controlled by others.

Yuan Dong nodded: "Brother, when will you want the chip?"

Yuan Xia asked: "How long will it take to make it?"

Yuan Dong said: "If you are in a hurry, you can come out within three months; if you are not in a hurry, you can come out within this year."

"Don't be too anxious, just come out within this year. We still need to sign a contract, and talk about business." Yuan Xia said.

Yuan Dong smiled: "Then sign it. Go to my company tomorrow."

Yuan Xia nodded: "Okay."

The next day, Yuan Xia went to Minxi Technology, and it was not the business manager who received him, but Yan Min himself.

Yan Min warmly shook hands with Yuan Xia: "I never thought Yuan would always come to us for cooperation, thank you very much for your support."

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "My family, Yuan Dong, works in your company. I am based on the idea of ​​not letting the fat and water flow to outsiders. The first thing I think of is you."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your support! I heard from Yuan Dong that you want to design a smart excavator chip? Can you tell me what functions you need?" Yan Min took out his notebook and prepared to take notes.

Yuan Xia explained the functions of the smart chip to him in detail, and Yan Min recorded, consulted, and occasionally raised some opinions, and the communication between the two parties was extremely smooth.

Yan Min put down the pen and said, "That's about it?"

Yuan Xia nodded: "Yes. This is the function of the excavator. It is just an attempt. If it succeeds, other products will be needed in the future."

Yan Min smiled and said: "Then look forward to more cooperation. I will ask someone to prepare the contract, and we will discuss the details in detail. Let's have lunch at our company at noon. See what is the difference between our working meal and your company's working meal .”

Yuan Xia smiled: "Okay."

Yan Min suddenly said again: "I have been paying attention to Mr. Yuan's blocking of the acquisition of Xugong Machinery. I admire Mr. Yuan's actions! Entrepreneurs with vision and a sense of responsibility like Mr. Yuan are really rare."

Yuan Xia was taken aback, he didn't expect him to mention this matter: "Thank you for your understanding!"

Yan Min frowned: "It's a pity that I failed to stop Shuoshu from stealing state-owned assets. This is the greatest regret in my life."

Yuan Xia knew that what he was talking about was Xihua Information being embezzled by Qu Yanning's shares, Yuan Xia could only comfort him: "Justice rests in people's hearts, stolen things will never be seen in the light, and history will give a fair judgment."

Yan Min clenched his back teeth and said, "I still prefer the present newspaper."

Yuan Xia found out that Yan Min, who looked gentle and harmless to humans and animals, was actually a person with clear love and hate, he smiled and said, "It's not impossible."

Yan Min nodded: "I'll get someone to prepare the contract first, Mr. Yuan, wait a moment."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "Okay."

At noon, Yan Min invited Yuan Xia to have a working meal in the cafeteria, and Yuan Dong was naturally there too.Minxi Technology’s work meals are obviously more refined than Xingyuan’s work meals, with more dishes and more diverse tastes, as well as desserts and fruits after meals, which are relatively petty bourgeois.

However, Yuan Xia thinks that Xingyuan's canteen is not bad, their dishes pay more attention to taste and portion, especially for the workers in the workshop, it can be said to be very friendly.

In the afternoon, Yuan Xia signed a contract with Yan Min, and the price was lower than Yuan Xia expected. Obviously, Yan Min gave a preferential price.

Although the lithium battery developed by the company is not up to Yuanxia's expectations, you can try a gasoline-electric hybrid system, and then gradually realize a pure electric system.

In August, Xingyuan’s subsidiary in India was finally approved. Yuanxia arranged for Tao Yang and the two Indian employees to go to India to set up a subsidiary and recruit local staff to expand the South and Southeast Asian markets.

The 11th Bauma Shanghai was held in Shanghai as scheduled in late November, but Yuan Xia did not attend in person. He handed it over to Si Hongjin to take charge, and went to Dubai by himself to participate in the Middle East Dubai International Construction Machinery Expo. The times almost exactly coincide.

The construction machinery exhibition in Dubai is held every year, and this is the first time for Xingyuan to participate.

The reason why I went there in person was that Yuanxia got a piece of information from a leader of China State Construction Engineering Corp. that the largest construction company in Dubai was going to cooperate with China State Construction Group to reclaim the sea to build an artificial island and build a city on the island. For a large number of construction machinery, a bidding meeting will be held during the exhibition, with a huge amount.

Only local tyrants in the Middle East can do such an arrogant approach. It is conceivable that the project is huge.

Yuan Xia is very excited, no matter how many products can be won in this bidding meeting, it is definitely a good opportunity to enter the Middle East market, of course it cannot be missed.

So Yuan Xia took Tao Yang and the company's overseas salesperson to Dubai.

The consistent impression given to the Arab region is that there is a lot of sand, oil, local tyrants, and wars. Of course, the United Arab Emirates is still very peaceful.

Dubai is particularly impressive. Its experience is very similar to that of Shenzhen. It also developed from a small seaside fishing village. In less than 20 years, it has become an international metropolis and a shining star in the Arabian desert. Pearl.

The experience of doing business with Arabs is good. Arabs have a tradition of doing business. They are smart but sincere. Although they can also bargain, they will never fight for every cent like Indians. As long as the quality is good, If the price is right, an order will be placed.

With the experience of participating in the exhibition in India last year, the salesmen were almost weeping with joy when dealing with the Arabs this time. There is no harm without comparison.

There are many kinds of products exhibited in Xingyuan, and almost all of them have been brought here.The most attractive thing is the boom pump truck with a pumping height of 62 meters and the crane with a tonnage of 200 tons. These are new products launched by Xingyuan this year.

On the 23rd, Yuan Xia and Tao Yang went to participate in the bidding meeting of the largest construction company in Dubai. There were many manufacturers bidding, in addition to the familiar Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Liebherr, Volvo, and South Korea Doosan, China's Xugong Machinery is also listed.

Yuanxia still has a certain degree of confidence, because Xingyuan has certain advantages. They have the world's number one boom pump truck and a tower crane with a unique internal structure, and they also have certain advantages in price.

Yuan Xia thought, not to mention anything else, how can he sell a few boom pump trucks and tower cranes.

When the first round of bidding started, Dubai did not receive bids from manufacturers, but sent out a form for everyone to fill in parameters and quotations.

Yuan Xia hired an international student studying in Dubai to help as an interpreter. Although there was English on the form, someone could translate Arabic to understand the other party's clear intentions more accurately.

Yuan Xia and Tao Yang carefully filled out the form and submitted it. An hour later, the names of Hitachi, Doosan, Xugong Machinery and Xingyuan were displayed on the electronic screen in the conference room. This was after the first round of bidding. As a result, they chose several companies with relatively low prices.

Yuan Xia knew that among these few, the most disadvantaged one was their Xingyuan, because they left the country too late, and their popularity was not as good as the previous ones.

The second round of bidding started. This time it was an interview one by one. There was no quotation, but only to explain the characteristics of their products face to face. Yuan Xia was a little worried that he could not express clearly in English, but fortunately, there was a simultaneous translator, so he only needed to express in Chinese. .

After the second round of bidding, only Xingyuan and Xu Gong Machinery remained.

Seeing the name appearing on the electronic screen, Yuan Xia couldn't help showing a smile, when a "Xi Ba" came from behind.

Yuan Xia raised his eyebrows, and his smile grew brighter. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he wins the bid or Xu Gong Machinery wins the bid, as long as foreigners are not allowed to win the bid.
