Chapter 277 Panic: Sooner or Later the Curtain Will End (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 277 Panic: Sooner or later the curtain will end (seeking a monthly ticket)
April 1st.
Xinghai Group has realized the mass production of IGBT arc welding inverters, and it is estimated that the monthly output can reach 60,000 units to meet the company's needs.
When Mu Yang heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The samples in the early stage went smoothly, and he thought it would be able to be mass-produced on March 20.
However, things did not develop as he expected. During the period, there were some problems with the tooling and fixtures, which delayed a lot of time.
Fortunately, the personnel of the project team adjusted.
The task was originally planned to be completed within one month, but in the end it was delayed by ten days.
Recently, Mo Yang and the staff of the project team were about to collapse. Mu Yang visited the laboratory many times and saw that the employees were a little anxious, so he asked everyone not to be so anxious. It will not have much impact if it is later.
When the project team heard what the boss said, the pressure was reduced a lot, but everyone felt ashamed.
Especially Mo Yang, everyone promised to complete the task within one month, but now they can't finish it on time, and feel very embarrassed. I don't dare to think about the bonus. I just want to complete the mass production as soon as possible, so as not to delay the company's production of the second-guarantee welding machine.
Two days after mass production was stable, Mu Yang called a meeting of the IGBT arc welding inverter project team.
Mu Yang glanced at the tired-looking project team members, feeling relieved, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard. Although the completion time exceeded the scheduled time by eleven days, the time I set was also rushed. Generally speaking, I am very satisfied. This result."
"Chairman, it's my fault that I failed to complete the task."
Mo Yang took the initiative to bear the mistake.
"Chairman, it's not the team leader's fault. It's my problem. I didn't check the tooling and fixtures properly, resulting in errors in tooling assembly..."
Mu Yang waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "I've said it all, and it's not your fault, nor Mo Yang's. You have done a good job, and you are worthy of praise for being able to face difficulties as a team."
Everyone felt a lot more relieved when they heard the boss say this, and they were afraid that the boss would blame them.
"I have already accepted the production line, and there is no problem. Now it has entered mass production. According to my previous promise, after the task is completed, the company will give you material rewards. Mr. Zhou, please read it out." After Mu Yang finished speaking , Let Zhou Chen read it.
Zhou Chen smiled: "The progress of the project is indeed good, and some delays are normal. The chairman discussed with me and gave cash rewards to the project team members. As the team leader, Mo Yang was responsible, responsible, and united during the task. Team members, a reward of 150,000 yuan..."
The highest reward is 150,000 yuan, and the minimum reward is 30,000 yuan.
The bonus is not comparable to the year-end bonus, but this project is just a small project, not difficult, but time is tight.
After Zhou Chen made the announcement, he handed out the rewards in person, and the staff of the project team were very excited as they took the heavy tickets with both hands.
...
Xinghai Group held project awards,
At this time, Shanghai, Pudong.
Shangri-La Hotel, conference room on the third floor.
It's still the same place.
Xinghai Group's competitor, the Second Guarantee Welding Machine Alliance still holds meetings here.
After the expected one month passed, Xinghai Group did not break the supply chain.
According to the information they inquired, a new type of IGBT arc welding inverter was found on Xinghai Group's new secondary welding machine, and the manufacturer was Xinghai Group.
Upon receiving this news, the high-level leaders of the alliance suddenly panicked.
Ruined!
At the same time, I also felt incredible: How did Xinghai Group produce a new IGBT arc welding inverter so quickly?
How long has it been? From digging people to now, it has only been forty days!
The atmosphere in the conference room was very oppressive, and no one could see the possibility of defeating the Xinghai Group.
The executives of Miller Welding Machine Company were very upset and blamed Tangshan Songshang: "Mr. Du, this is all your bad idea. Now, Xinghai Group has not broken the supply chain because of this."
"That's right, it made us invest in vain, and now the situation is getting worse."
Seeing these people blaming him, Du Ping still had a calm expression and did not get angry, and calmly explained: "Everyone, this is something we didn't expect, and it was indeed my misjudgment.
But, think about it, everyone, it is extremely difficult for companies to mass-produce IGBT arc welding inverters from scratch, not to mention one month, and three months for you.
But this happened to be a miracle in Xinghai Group, we have to admire the strength of the enemy. "
In the past, they were competitors, fighting to the death, but now they are united against one company, which is too ironic!
Moreover, they couldn't fight against them. The Xinghai Group was fighting them in three dimensions.
"Hey, that's how life should be!" Mr. Shengong Zhang sighed, he believed in Buddhism, and this time he went back, he wanted to burn incense and pray to Buddha for peace.
The senior management of Miller Welding Machine Company laughed twice, and asked sarcastically, "Then, what other good solutions does Mr. Du have?"
"No." Du Ping smiled, even if there was, he doesn't count on this alliance now.
Some bigwigs feel that this alliance is meaningless.
"You guys take your time. I'm quitting this alliance. There's a meeting next time. Don't call me."
"I also quit. It's meaningless. I'm tossing around and wasting money."
After the two big brothers finished speaking, they left directly. As for how to develop in the future, it depends on fate.
Du Ping did not dissuade the big guys. Now the alliance is fighting against the Xinghai Group, and the result is obvious, they are completely defeated!
And there is no better way.
After the two bigwigs left, three more bigwigs announced their withdrawal, and the rest, needless to say, the alliance was disbanded.
Du Ping sighed and left the meeting room.
It took just over two months for this alliance to go from being full of confidence when it was established to being discouraged today.
There are several foreign-funded companies that are leading the production and sales of second-warranty welding machines. Their business is bleak and they are in a state of serious losses, and they are not far from bankruptcy.
Going back this time, I am planning to liquidate the assets and prepare to divest.
According to the provisions of the implementation rules of my country's foreign-funded enterprise law, foreign-funded enterprises that want to withdraw their capital and do not want to continue to operate should submit a termination application, report to the examination and approval authority for approval, and be liquidated.
Termination is granted only if conditions are met.
...
A few days later, Du Ping returned to work in the company.
In the afternoon, not long after he had just started work, the general manager Mison reported an urgent matter to him.
"Chairman, Xinghai Group has launched two new welding machines, argon tungsten arc welding machines, with excellent performance, and I feel that they are aimed at us."
Hearing this, Du Ping almost staggered and fell, and quickly helped a corner of the desk.
Misen panicked and quickly supported him.
"I'm fine." Du Ping waved, with a sad face, "Tell me to take a look."
Mison said respectfully: "Hi, the market prices of Xinghai Group's 400 and 500 argon tungsten arc welding machines with cooling water tanks are 10,000 yuan and 11,000 yuan respectively, which are 1,000 yuan lower than our 400TX1 and 500TX2 respectively.
There is little difference in the performance of the main unit of the welding machine, mainly in the structure of the welding torch, tungsten needle and tungsten needle grinder.
Increase the price by 2,000 yuan, and send a special tungsten needle grinder. They are 2.7, 3.5 and 4.5 special tungsten needles, which are different from our regular 2.0, 3.0, 3.2, 4.0, and 5.0 diameters. We can’t use the other party’s tungsten needles sander.
Xinghai Group's welding torches are also unique, and for this reason, tungsten needles are also specially customized.
Moreover, with an additional price of 8,000 yuan, it can be connected to an automatic wire feeding device. The welding effect is very good. The welding machine can match a wide range of processes. With their own special tungsten needle and welding torch, the arc is very uniform and tungsten is rarely caught. "
Du Ping felt that the sky was about to fall: "Do you have the other party's equipment?"
Their company mainly produces and sells secondary welding machines, followed by argon tungsten arc welding equipment. If the argon tungsten arc welding equipment market is over, then, like other international friends, they can only withdraw their capital from China.
"Yes, we managed to buy one, and it's in the laboratory." Mison also had a sad face. In order to study competitors, it is normal to purchase equipment from the other party, and he had to buy it secretly.
"Go and have a look, call the technical director Masao Kosaka." Du Ping ordered, walking heavily towards the laboratory.
He really wanted to see how strong Xinghai Group's argon tungsten arc welding equipment was.
half an hour later,
Du Ping finally understood the advantages of the Xinghai Group.
Tungsten argon arc welding machine is smaller in size than Erbao welding machine, has fewer spare parts and lower production cost, so it is much cheaper to sell.
According to the analysis of the technical department, there is not much difference between the welding machines, mainly because the structure of the gun head and the tungsten needle are somewhat different, and the diameter of their tungsten needle is different from the conventional one.
The reason why Xinghai Group did this, and I don't know why, the technical department analyzed that it might be to avoid the use of its tungsten needles by conventional welding torches.
There is currently no equipment for grinding tungsten needles on the market.
This equipment is not complicated, not because the manufacturer is unwilling to study it, but because the customer is unwilling to spend the money to buy it.
Because the grinding of tungsten needles is done manually on a grinding machine, it can also be used, and it does not have to be ground with special grinding equipment.
Of course, the difference between manual grinding and machine grinding is mainly in the taper standard, grain direction and smoothness of the tungsten needle.
These three factors will seriously affect the arc uniformity of the tungsten needle, thus affecting the welding quality.
In terms of welding quality, there is a difference between argon tungsten arc welding and the second welding machine:
If the processes are matched, the former is very dependent on the welder's skill and the grinding quality of the tungsten needle, and the welding machine has little influence on the welding quality, while the latter depends on the welder and the welder's skill.
Xinghai Group's argon tungsten arc welding machine is superior to Songshang's welding machine, but the impact on welding quality is not very different.
Therefore, Muyang solved the problem in a targeted manner, digging deep into tungsten needles, and making the use of tungsten needles more standardized and standardized, because the angle of the tungsten needles is different, and the shape of the arc is different.
At the same time, Xinghai Group has its own advanced smelting equipment and smelts tungsten needles by itself. The fineness of the material structure and other properties are much better than those on the market.
Compared with welding machines, the market capacity of tungsten needles is very small, which is roughly equivalent to one-twentieth to one-tenth of the market capacity of argon tungsten arc welding equipment.
Therefore, welding machine factories generally do not produce tungsten needles, and there are manufacturers specializing in the production of tungsten needles.
Since tungsten needle production is too easy to enter the industry, the competition is fierce. In order to reduce costs and pursue profits, various manufacturers are reluctant to invest. The quality is not good, and the material is poor in fineness, which seriously affects the welding quality.
After Du Ping saw the usage of Xinghai Group's equipment, especially the automatic wire feeding function, he really felt that the sky was falling.
All manufacturers of argon tungsten arc welding equipment are not incapable of manufacturing automatic wire feeding devices, but impractical.
Because of manual welding + automatic wire addition, the effect of machine welding + automatic wire addition cannot be achieved.
Among them, there are many reasons, which are very difficult to solve.
But now, Xinghai Group has actually solved this problem.
This means that manual welding with argon tungsten arc welding greatly reduces the difficulty!
This is a qualitative change!
A revolution in argon tungsten arc welding!
Of course, the equipment is not cheap. The automatic wire adding device costs 8,000 yuan, and there is an additional price of 2,000 yuan to buy a special tungsten needle grinder. Conventional tungsten needles are not expensive. A conventional 3.0 can be used for a month. time.
It is equivalent to spending an extra 10,000 yuan to get a semi-automatic equipment.
Maybe Xinghai Group's welding torch has automatic wire feeding equipment, and some narrow spaces cannot be used, but most of the welding space can be used.
"Can we make this kind of silk-enhancing equipment?" Du Ping asked technical director Masao Kosaka.
"It can't be done, it's too precise, and the material is light. They use ultra-high-strength titanium alloy, so it's very light, with good strength and temperature. We imitate it, and it also involves infringement. The tungsten needle and grinding equipment must be specially made, otherwise The arc is not uniform, and the arc is not in the center of the welding wire if it is crooked, the welding quality is poor, and the requirements are too high, which is why most welding machine manufacturers feel that the automatic wire feeding device is too weak.”
"Hey, I am convinced that I lost!"
Du Ping couldn't feel a trace of fighting spirit, which had been smoothed out by Xinghai Group.
He left the laboratory, stood in front of the office window, and watched the sunset quietly.
This time, Tangshan Songshang is really coming to an end.
It will be a matter of time to withdraw from Huaguo!
