Chapter 426 We Are Ashamed, Mr. Mu Is Worth Learning From
Chapter 426 We are ashamed, Mr. Mu is worth learning from
Regarding the market situation of industrial robots, Mu Yang assigned a task for the strategy department to investigate a long time ago. He called strategy expert Xiang Yan and asked about it.
Xiang Yan went back to the office to get the information, and submitted to Mu Yang the market prospect analysis and forecast report of Huaguo's industrial robot industry.
For Mu Yang's grounding information, he looked through the catalog first.
Dozens of pages of information analyze the development status of industrial robots at home and abroad, market size, import and export analysis, product structure, market distribution, and user research.
At the same time, the report carefully selects 5-10 large-scale and most representative benchmarking companies in the industrial robot industry for investigation and research, including the industry status, organizational structure, product composition and positioning, operating conditions, and marketing models of each company. , sales network, technical advantages, development trends, etc.
Through the analysis of the consumption scale and year-on-year growth rate of the industrial robot industry in the Huaguo market for the past five consecutive years, the market potential and growth of the industrial robot industry are judged, and the growth trend of the consumption scale in the next five years is predicted.
This information is done with enough care, such as the competitive landscape, marked with Porter's five forces model, from the competitiveness of existing competitors in the industrial robot industry, the ability of potential competitors to enter, the ability of substitutes, The competitive landscape of the industrial robot industry is analyzed from five aspects, including the bargaining power of suppliers and the bargaining power of downstream users.
"Xiang Gong, there are a lot of materials, I'll take a look first, and then I'll call you after reading it, you go back to the office first."
"Okay, Chairman, take your time to read, there are indeed a lot of information."
After speaking, Xiang Yan exited the chairman's office.
Mu Yang picked up the pen, read the information carefully, and marked the problem if he found it.
Compared with my own understanding of future industrial robots, the prediction error of this report is not large, and it has reference value.
Some information was unknown to Mu Yang.
When he plans to enter a certain industry, he can get more detailed information by asking the strategic department to conduct research.
There are more or less discrepancies between the reported data and the actual situation, and some of the data quoted may be made up by the writers.
Some technical materials reported on the Internet, including officially published technical books, some content is just made up. Even when Mu Yang publishes a paper by himself, he will revise the experimental data before publishing it.
It took Mu Yang a day to read the analysis report, and there were many doubts.
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Mu Yang called Xiang Yan again and asked:
"How reliable is the data you submitted yesterday? How much field investigation and research have you conducted?"
"Some investigations have been carried out, and those who have investigations have made notes on the report; for other data, based on the revenue statements of these companies in the past two or three years, they have been analyzed in combination with market information; for those who are not sure, draw a line Yellow." Xiang Yan replied truthfully.
Next, Mu Yang communicated with Xiang Yan one by one, and even called an employee in charge of collecting data, and communicated one by one.
In the afternoon, Mu Yang called experts from the strategy department, senior vice president Zhang Xiaofeng, and vice president and chief engineer Zhou Chen, announcing that the company entered the industrial robot industry and established a robot project team.
"Currently the group has close to 20 technical project teams, and there are dozens or even hundreds of small project teams. The organizational structure is a bit complicated. I plan to change the name of Xinghai Outdoor Equipment Co., Ltd. to Xinghai Electronics Company, which will be responsible for semiconductors and other electronic businesses;
The wafer manufacturing, chip manufacturing, and chip design businesses are not owned by the electronics company, but by Nebula Technology Company;
Xinghai Materials Co., Ltd. is responsible for the manufacturing and heat treatment of metals such as titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, and special steels, as well as all material businesses such as non-metallic materials in the future;
The laser technology company and the welding technology company were merged into a welding technology company, and the metal 3D additive business was changed to a mechanical processing company. Technology research and development is still the responsibility of the welding technology company;
Xinghai Robot Company, responsible for industrial robot business;
The business of other companies remains unchanged. If you have any opinions, you can raise them. "
"Chairman, our permanent magnet motor belongs to the automobile company, while the servo motor belongs to the machine tool company. Can the two projects be merged into one company, or a motor company be established?" Zhou Chen suggested.
Mu Yang nodded and turned to others: "What's everyone's opinion?"
"Mr. Zhou's suggestion is feasible. Our motors are developing relatively fast. If we separate them, there will be many problems in sharing technical resources. Every meeting is very embarrassing."
"I think, in addition to servo motors and permanent magnet motors, as well as the car engines and aero engines we are currently planning, they can all be classified into one category. It is a bit narrow to call the motor company. It is better to call it Xinghai Power Equipment Company."
Mu Yang listened to everyone's opinions, and finally made a decision: "Then it belongs to Xinghai Power Equipment Company, and the organizational structure is still in accordance with the current situation."
At present, the wholly-owned subsidiaries under the group do not have the post of general manager. The technology is decided by the technical manager of each project, and the production is decided by the production manager of each product. If there are more general managers, there will also be vice presidents. A manager is equivalent to an additional layer of organization. These technical managers are under the jurisdiction of the group's deputy general manager of technology. If there is a general manager, the duties of the general manager will conflict with the duties of the group's deputy general manager.
Now the resources of each subsidiary are shared, and the finances are decided by the group. This is also due to the advanced management system of Xinghai Group. Otherwise, such a large company would be difficult to manage.
After Mu Yang thought about it, he decided to proceed according to the current organizational structure. For subsidiaries outside H City, the position of president or general manager must be set up, and it does not involve technology research and development. Yun Tianhai, the vice president of the group, is in charge.
Depending on the company's situation, adopting an organizational structure that suits you does not have to follow someone else's model.
As long as it is successful, it is the most suitable.
Therefore, the name change of the subsidiary did not involve any interest issues, and it did not change anything for the company's management.
Xinghai Group's industrial robot project was launched in this way. Mu Yang was responsible for solving the core problem of the software part of the controller. Other core problems were left to the R&D personnel of the project team to solve.
Some technologies are not because Muyang doesn’t want to use it, but like the RV reducer of the island country Nabtesco. This company has been doing it for many years. Some problems need to be discovered during use and then continuously optimized. No matter how powerful he is, he may personally be able to design a reducer with a better structure.
However, without years of use verification, what should I do if something goes wrong?
For example, the RV reducer is prone to fatigue strength problems, which cannot be found at the time of design; and the size of the gap between the gears, which is the most suitable, needs years of use and verification.
Can Mu Yang guarantee that there is nothing wrong with the things he designed?
That's impossible, Mu Yang is not a god.
Even BMW's car engine is difficult to solve the problem of burning oil after many years of use.
Most of the technologies purchased through the achievement point store can avoid some problems caused by long-term use, which is also difficult for Mu Yang to do no matter how good he is. Some flashy designs rely on inspiration.
And like software, there will be no fatigue strength problems like RV reducers. As long as the logic is okay, then the operation will be fine.

Xinghai Group has entered the field of industrial robots, and the OTC that has been paying attention to Xinghai Group has not yet been discovered.
A few years ago, international brand arc welding machines such as Panasonic, Linken, and ESAB had established themselves in China for many years. Since Xinghai Group developed its own second-warranty welding machine, it has beaten these international brands with superior performance and price. Occupying the market, in less than a year, first Matsushita Welding Machine withdrew from the Huaguo market, and then other international brands also withdrew from the Huaguo market.
Due to the uniqueness of OTC welding robots, it is just that Xinghai Group is at a disadvantage in welding robots, so OTC welding machines can continue to survive in China, but they also lost the welding machine market other than welding robots.
The scale of OTC's parent company DAIHEN is far smaller than that of Matsushita, Toyota, Honda and other behemoths, but OTC still occupies a leading position in the field of welding robots in the world.
Of course, except for Xinghai Group, a perverted company that doesn't play cards according to common sense.
Therefore, in the past few years, the top management of the OTC company has been uneasy, wondering when Xinghai Group will have its own welding robot.
At the annual high-level meeting every year, the general manager Ichiro Yamamoto would say seriously: "If Xinghai Group develops its own industrial robots and configures their arc welding machines, not only Huaguo will not have a foothold for our OTC, but even the international market share will be slowly absorbed by the Xinghai Group.”
"Against the existence of the Xinghai Group, we have nothing to do. If there is, Songshang Welding Machinery Company will not withdraw from the Huaguo market. To put it bluntly, we have to make preparations to withdraw from the Huaguo market, or we will withdraw from the Huaguo market. Welding machines are better than Xinghai Group. Over the past three years, Xinghai Group’s welding machines have gotten better and better, but we haven’t made any big breakthroughs.”
When Songshang Welding Machine Co., Ltd. withdrew from the Huaguo market, its chairman Du Ping told him on the phone: "Yamamoto Ichiro, although I don't want to hit you, but to be honest, your OTC should also be prepared to withdraw from the Huaguo market. It can be two years at the fastest, or five years at the slowest. How long it can be done depends on how long Xinghai Group enters into industrial robots. I always feel that they will definitely not give up the industry of industrial robots.
Mu Yang may be the biggest enemy of our island country in the future. "
Ichiro Yamamoto recalled Mr. Du Ping's evaluation of Xinghai Group two or three years ago. Now, by comparison, Xinghai Group has become the world's top technology company, and Muyang has become the world's richest man.
The top 100 companies in the island country, such as Toyota, Honda, Mozan, Lexus, Panasonic, Subaru, Mazda, etc., have all been hit by the Xinghai Group’s business, and these major car companies, in the use of new energy batteries and aluminum alloy vehicles board, all rely on Xinghai Group.
Mu Yang is indeed the biggest business enemy of the island country.
...
August 20th, after nine o'clock in the morning.
Mu Yang came to Shangfei Company again.
He came to SAFE this time to observe the assembly and acceptance work of the metal 3D additive equipment shipped by their company. If there is no problem, the task delivered to Xinghai Group will be completed.
Of course, his goal is also to secretly learn from the other party's experience in building aircraft. By the way, he wants to make a relationship. If the C919 is mass-produced in the future, he wants to win some orders. , can also make him happy.
His arrival was still warmly welcomed by Ying Yiquan, Shuji of SAIC, and Wu Hui, chief scientist and chief designer of C919 large passenger aircraft.
Everyone was acquaintances, and Wu Hui took Mu Yang directly to the on-site assembly workshop after being polite.
"Mr. Mu, I really didn't expect that the parts produced by your company are of high precision, there is no problem with the fit, and the construction period is very fast. What surprised us even more is that the material structure produced by 3D printing has really reached the level of forgings, which is beyond our imagination. .” Wu Hui walked beside Mu Yang with a happy face.
A week ago, the parts that Xinghai Group was in charge of processing arrived at the workshop of SAIC, and the employees of Xinghai Group were responsible for assembling. At present, most of the shells have been assembled. If they were not delayed by their own people, the employees of Xinghai Group would have already finished assembling.
"Our employees assembled the parts produced once in the company's workshop, but I can't guarantee whether there will be any problems after dismantling and reassembling them again. It may be damaged during disassembly, assembly or transportation. However, When we produce, we try our best to ensure the versatility of the size, so as to ensure that there is no problem in mass production." Mu Yang said.
"Yes, mass production is really difficult. It is very difficult to ensure the versatility of parts such as such a large part." Wu Hui agreed.
The C919 has a wingspan of 35.80 meters and a height of 11.95 meters. For such a big guy, the more parts there are, the greater the cumulative error in assembly. In the end, the assembly becomes more and more difficult, or even impossible to assemble. Many big guys are rectified on site for this reason, which may take more time than producing all parts.
When designing and assembling, of course, the cumulative error problem will be taken into account.
If the processing accuracy is very high, the cumulative error will be smaller, the less work needs to be corrected on site, and the assembly efficiency will be faster.
The C919 has a basic range of 4,075 kilometers with standard configuration and standard passenger load. The design service goal (DSG) is no less than 80,000 flight hours/48,000 flight cycles/25 calendar years. The flight cruise speed is Mach 0.785 and the instant speed is 961 kilometers.
In later generations, when the first mass-produced C919 was unveiled, netizens complained, "Isn't it just a case designed!"
Now, most of this case is manufactured by Xinghai Group.
The manufacturing difficulty of the aircraft casing is also very difficult, that is to say, it is very difficult to control the cumulative error of its manufacturing, but it is less difficult than the design.
In the official words at the time, the design difficulty of the aircraft casing was second only to the engine.
This sentence is a bit exaggerated, but the casing design is indeed not easy, and it is much more difficult than others. It must conform to aerodynamics and structural mechanics. It takes several years to optimize and the cost of wind tunnel tests. Maybe it is expensive for the country. Not a problem, time is.
For example, the rear wing of a light sports car, don't look at such a small thing, if it is installed randomly, after the speed increases, the rear wing will not be able to suppress the airflow, and the sports car may fly.
Switching to a faster aircraft, the design of the casing is unreasonable, the wind resistance becomes larger, the flight is unbalanced, and the lift-to-drag ratio is small.
Therefore, the successful take-off of the C919 means that the casing design is successful, and it is also a great progress.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as a big step is successful, the proportion of localization of aircraft will be higher and higher.
Those netizens who open their mouths to design airplanes are as simple as drawing pictures, they are probably talking about it, and their ability to do things may be much worse, or they don't know much about designing airplanes.
After a while, Mu Yang, Wu Hui and other leaders of Shanghai Aircraft Company came to the workshop where the large aircraft was assembled.
There are more than a dozen people wearing work clothes of the Xinghai Group, and they are responsible for the assembly of the C919 case.
Mu Yang said to the employees of his company: "You have worked hard on your business trip."
"The chairman is polite. The leaders of SAIC treat us like treasures. We hope that we can complete the task perfectly and not embarrass the company."
Ying Yiquan, who was standing next to Mu Yang, said: "Xinghai Group's benefits are very good, employees eat well and sleep well, our working environment and living conditions are much worse, I am afraid that your employees will not get used to our company. , The hospitality is not good, but I didn't expect them to be able to endure hardships, and their professionalism is very remarkable."
"Haha, that's good, keep working hard and help C919 go to the sky as soon as possible." Mu Yang encouraged with a smile.
Next, Mu Yang communicated with the employees about the technical problems encountered in the work, and personally participated in them.
Ying Yiquan, Wu Hui and the others saw that Mu Yang went to the field to check the problem, and they were very impressed. The world's richest man didn't care about his noble status, and he personally went to the field to solve the problem with the front-line employees.
"We almost forgot that Mr. Mu is not only a master of technology, but also has abnormal hands-on ability. Of course, what I admire more is that Mr. Mu surrendered his status and went down to solve the problem himself."
More than ten meters away, Wu Hui said with great admiration.
"Yes, I admire you very much. It is worth learning from. You see, some leaders in our system like to put on airs in front of employees in the workshop. The more incompetent they really are, the bigger the airs will be." Ying Yiquan agreed.
In addition to Wu Hui, the leaders of Shangfei Company were also present at the scene. Hearing Shu Ji's words, he didn't know if he was talking about him, but his face was a little red anyway. Look at Mu Yang, who rolled up his sleeves at the scene, and has already devoted himself to solving the problem. Compared with it, I am really ashamed.
For about half an hour, Mu Yang was still involved in it and solved many problems. Of course, he also learned a lot of practical knowledge of large aircraft. Through comparison and combining his own theoretical knowledge, he continuously improved his experience in manufacturing aircraft.
He didn't pretend to compare, Mu Yang was not in the mood.
At this time, Mu Yang noticed that Ying Yiquan and others outside the venue were still waiting for him. He clapped his hands and walked over to them and said, "Sorry, I forgot that the leaders are still here."
"Mr. Mu is very polite and helped us solve many problems. We feel very ashamed. Mr. Mu is worth learning from."
"It's nothing, I've also improved myself. Let's see, some problems take a long time to solve. I feel that I can't sleep tonight if I don't solve them now. Leaders, go back first. I want to stay and continue to work on it. If I miss it, I won’t be able to remember the solution.” Mu Yang said truthfully.
Wu Hui knew the temperament of some technical lunatics, and if he didn't solve it thoroughly, he really couldn't sleep, so he persuaded Ying Yiquan and the others: "Go back to Shuji, I'll stay with Mr. Mu, and study along the way."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Ying Yiquan understood that it was useless for him to stay, and it would affect others.
After finishing speaking, other irrelevant leaders had no choice but to leave.
Next, Mu Yang continued to invest in large aircraft research, solved many technical problems, and left many myths in SAIC.
His process of solving the problem was also photographed by someone with a heart, which has become a very precious photographic material of SAIC.
