Chapter 140 It’s a Lot of Fun

The technicians in Factory 432 were not satisfied with this meal, but the young worker named Tang was so full of food that his mouth was full of oil. From time to time, he would secretly smile secretly, making people want to slap him in the face.

Han Weichang showed the unique honesty and simplicity of an old worker. Not only did he know everything about the questions raised by people in Factory 432, but he could also draw inferences from one instance and tell various situations that the other party had not thought of.

The more he spoke, the uglier their faces became. They felt that the future was gloomy and they wished they could buy tickets to go back to Xiyun Province tomorrow and never set foot in the Central Plains again.

As a company that has produced CNC machine tools, Factory 432 certainly does not have any knowledge of machine tools. On the contrary, engineers like Xu Ping know a lot about machine tools. But precisely because of her understanding, she was able to understand what Han Weichang said. At the same time, she also knew that it might be difficult to do so with the technical accumulation of Factory 432.

The reason for this is that the CNC machine tools originally manufactured by Factory 432 were designed to fill the domestic gap. They solved the problem of "availability or not", and quality considerations were secondary. Due to the need for confidentiality, Factory 432 cannot draw on the best of others. Factory 432 does not master some of the process know-how that local companies have developed after years of practice.

Companies like Linyi Machinery produce two to three thousand machine tools a year in peak years. Process engineers like Han Weichang have been honed in a large number of production practices and have extremely rich experience. This is a bit like the profession of doctor. Some hospitals are dedicated to serving leading cadres and have strong technical capabilities. However, because they have fewer patients, their clinical experience is not as good as that of doctors in some county people's hospitals. When encountering some difficult and complicated diseases, doctors in small hospitals can come up with some solutions, but doctors in large hospitals are at a loss.

This is the case with Factory 432. They have manufactured very high-end special machine tools, but in terms of the accumulation of machine tool technology, they are far inferior to Linyi Machinery.

Tang Zifeng heard from Xiao Wenjun that a group of technicians in Factory 432 were doing CNC transformation work on imported machine tools in 17th, and began to learn more about it privately. He called Zhou Heng and asked Zhou Heng to learn the whole story through his connections, including the technical strength of Factory 432. Then, he asked Han Weichang to take advantage of the opportunity to inspect the machine tools in the 107th workshop and inquire about the employees of the 17th Institute about what the 432 Factory was doing in the 17th Institute.

If the person being inquired about was Xiao Ming, he would definitely remain silent and refuse to disclose the affairs of Factory 432 to Tang Zifeng and Han Weichang. But for the ordinary employees of No. 17 Institute, there is nothing to hide about this kind of non-confidential gossip. What's more, Lao Han usually treats them to smoke good cigarettes. To hesitate in front of such a kind person, his own conscience Can it be safe?

In this way, Tang Zifeng learned that Factory 432 was stumped by a bearing, and such a problem was not difficult for Han Weichang. Therefore, Tang Zifeng directed such a scene. He and Han Weichang deliberately followed Gu Yuan and his party, and said some words that were enough to make Gu Yuan excited. As a result, Lao Gu really fell into a trap.

"Master Han, can you..." Xu Ping impulsively planned to have a date with Han Weichang.

"Master Han and Master Tang, have you eaten? Otherwise, let's stop here today so as not to delay the rest of the two masters." Gu Yuanran interrupted Xu Ping in time.

"Uh..., oh, that's right, I won't delay the rest of the two masters." Xu Ping was stunned and realized that she had lost her composure, and she quickly covered it up.

Tang Zifeng looked careless, stood up and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. Thank you, Master Gu, and thank you, Master Xu. If you have anything you don't understand in the future, just ask my master. We usually They are all in Workshop 107. You will know when you go to the workshop and ask."

After bidding farewell to Tang Zifeng and his entourage, Gu Yuan brought his subordinates back to the guest house and went to the large suite where he lived to hold an internal meeting. He didn't know that the two technical experts who called themselves workshop 107 were living on the floor above them. It was just that they had been coming in and out these days and had never met each other.

"Xiao Xu, what do you think about this matter?" Gu Yuan first focused on Xu Ping and asked her.

Xu Ping said: "Master Han just now really understands machine tools. I have read relevant information on many of the problems he mentioned, but I don't understand them as thoroughly as he does. From what he said, he has personally repaired many types of machine tools." The level of imported machine tools is much higher than that of the most experienced fitters in our factory.”

"In this case, how come Institute 17 has never mentioned this person? Logically speaking, if they have such a treasure, they should send him to cooperate with our work." Tanihara said.

Zhang Guoqing said: "When Workers Xu and Master Han were communicating just now, I asked the young man named Tang. He said that Master Han had just arrived at No. 17 and had been working in other companies before."

"Ask what kind of company it is?"

"I asked, but he didn't answer."

"Why didn't you answer?"

"Maybe..., maybe he didn't hear my question clearly. He was always absent-minded when I talked to him."

"His eyes have been staring at the hard dishes on the table!" A female technician named Li Xuan said bitterly.

"This young man... is really good enough." Gu Yuanran hesitated for a moment, and finally chose a more neutral evaluation.

Xu Ping said: "Mr. Gu, I have a feeling that we considered this matter too simply before. In fact, the design and assembly of imported machine tools have some characteristics. We don't know much about these characteristics, so we blindly Going into renovations, I was worried something would go wrong.”

Zhang Guoqing also echoed: "I also realized it. We only dismantled one bearing, and we were faced with the problem of not being able to put it back. If we dismantle more things in the next step, the trouble will be even greater. Besides, even if we can put the equipment back The assembly is exactly the same as before. Because we don’t understand its design principle, we can’t say whether the performance of the machine tool can still be the same. What our factory is good at is actually semiconductor technology. There are too many ways to do machine tools. , we may not be smart enough.”

"Then what do you think we should do?" Gu Yuan asked.

Xu Ping said: "Actually, I just wanted to ask Master Han to go to the 205 workshop tomorrow to help us take a look at the machine tools. If he can give us some suggestions, we can avoid some detours."

Gu Yuan said: "I think we should ask the factory for instructions on this matter first. We can't solve the technical problem ourselves, but we have to ask workers from the 17th Institute to help. What will Xiao Ming think? The technical committee of the Science and Technology Commission The funds for the reform were first allocated to 17 institutes. If 17 institutes were invited to participate in this matter, they would have reason to withhold 1.8 million yuan, and then we would be passive."

"What if we invite Master Han to take a look in private? Don't say it's to help, just... to discuss?" Li Xuan suggested.

Tanihara said: "The fire cannot be contained in the paper. Once we invite people from the 17th Institute to participate, we must be prepared for the consequences if Xiao Ming and others find out. Let's think about it. If we admit that we have shortcomings in machine tools, we hope that the 17th Institute will Comrades provide help, what kind of price will 17 institutes offer?”

"It's really hard to say. According to what Master Han said, apart from providing control chips and control technology, we don't have any advantages in other aspects. The degree of their participation is very deep. I think about it, one hundred and eighty Ten thousand……"

Xu Ping shook her head and said that this figure was a bit optimistic. If the other party was smarter, the price offered might be more than this. And if the fee proposed by the other party exceeds 1 million, it is equivalent to cutting off the flesh of Factory 432. Thousands of workers in Factory 432 are all counting on the 4 million to buy rice for cooking. It would be really painful for everyone to let Factory 17 take another cut.

Zhang Guoqing said: "Mr. Gu, I think the cost issue is secondary. The most important thing is that through this incident, our lack of experience in machine tool modification has been exposed. This Master Han really knows a lot. , but can he completely solve our problems? What if there are some new problems in the future that we and Master Han cannot solve? "

"Are there any other workers in Institute 17 who know machine tools?" Li Xuan asked.

Xu Ping said: "It's hard to say. In fact, I can't be sure whether Master Han is someone who understands machine tools. I can only say that based on my level of knowledge, what he said makes sense. . But I am not proficient in machine tools myself. How can I judge whether what he said is true or false? If he is only half-hearted and just bluffs us, but we regard him as a life-saving straw, it will be fun. That’s big.”

"You're careless. When we proposed the plan to the Science and Technology Commission, we were indeed too hasty." Gu Yuan said distressedly, pressing his temples.

Zhang Guoqing said: "Chief Engineer Gu, it's not that we are careless, there is really nothing we can do. Anyway, now, the Science and Technology Commission has allocated the money. Even if we allocate part to the 17 institutes, we will still get two to three million. The workers in the factory don’t have to live by chewing grass roots anymore, don’t you think?”

Gu Yuan heard something in Zhang Guoqing's words. He stared at Zhang Guoqing and asked, "Guo Qing, do you mean to say that it's okay to give some profits to 17?"

Zhang Guoqing said: "I think this is inevitable. In fact, we have not been able to restore the grinder to its original state in the past few days, and the 17th Institute must have been aware of it. I even think that this Master Han was the 17th Institute on purpose. Sent out to deliver a message to us."

"Is it like this?" Gu Yuan was startled, and then recalled the process of discovering Tang Zifeng and his party. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Guoqing's guess made sense. Think about it, these two people mentioned something about imported machine tool bearings when they passed by him. Isn't this intentional? Also, when you meet by chance, it is most taboo to have a casual conversation, but this Master Han answers all questions. Isn't this strange?

"If it is true as Guo Qing said, the 17th Institute should be worried about our face and could not tell us directly, so it sent Master Han to deliver the message. If we pretend to be deaf and dumb, wouldn't it be a bit shameless? Do you understand?" Gu Yuan asked everyone.
