Chapter 393 The First Year of China’s Aviation Engine Industry!
Liang Zhuoping said this so bluntly. On the one hand, he was eager to get closer to Chang Haonan, so he complimented him. On the other hand, he did take into account the latter's glorious resume in the past.
After meeting Chang Haonan for the second time in Ding Gaoheng's office, Liang Zhuoping, who had learned from the painful experience, quickly found all the project information that the other party had participated in and read it for several days.
In the end, it was discovered that as long as Chang Haonan participated in the project, it would be "successfully completed according to plan".
If you are not careful, you may get some unexpected surprises.
And not only on the technical level, Chang Haonan also seems to have some amazing judgment in the overall direction.
Whether it is using domestic laws to initiate a compliance investigation on the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger, or using its own aircraft anti-icing technology to cooperate with the EU, it has ultimately proven to be a highly rewarding choice.
In short, it’s just two words, awesome.
In fact, Liang Zhuoping had heard some rumors before, saying that the reason why Ding Gaoheng, who was supposed to leave his leadership position, could continue to take over as director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense was largely because Chang Haonan made too much noise. The superiors felt that at this time We should seek stability and not change generals on the spot.
Although there is no evidence, the truth of such rumors is often frightening.
What's more, Cao Gangchun, who was originally expected to take over the Science and Technology Commission, was unemployed for more than a month after resigning as deputy chief of staff, and then was appointed by Lightspeed as the head of the newly formed General Armament Department. This is also quite an abnormal situation.
Anyway, Liang Zhuoping believed it.
In this case, he almost naturally came to the conclusion——
Holding Chang Haonan's thigh tightly should help him sit more steadily in his current position.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he chose to unconditionally support any of Chang Haonan's claims.
After all, the most solid relationship is one where the interests of the two are completely tied together.
Of course, Chang Haonan didn't know that, and he didn't care much about Liang Zhuoping's inner feelings about Xiao Jiujiu.
As the chairman of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, the latter was considered unattainable to him a year ago, and he could be considered an important figure half a year ago, but now...
Although he has not fallen to the level of a cat or a dog, he is basically on an equal footing with him.
With the support of Ding Gaoheng and even higher-level officials, Liang Zhuoping, as a manager caught in the middle, had less impact on specific projects than grassroots engineers like Lin Shikuan and Sun Huizhong.
This is why many far-sighted companies, even if they want to reduce costs and increase efficiency, tend to use middle management first.
Because the absence of these people will often not have a too bad impact on the operation of the organization.
At most, the top managers need to do it themselves and the workload is just increased.
On the other hand, some rubbish companies always start from the grassroots level when laying off employees. In the end, the number of employees who actually work is reduced sharply and people's hearts are floating, which affects the company's core business. As a result, it neither reduces costs nor increases efficiency, and eventually becomes vicious. cycle.
…
Three days later, Hong Kong City.
As an officially-stamped well-known coastal tourism, leisure, and resort destination, it has long been known as a health resort and conference capital.
Many official or business meetings will be held here.
The local international conference center is also relatively busy almost all year round.
Even the recent floods don't seem to have had any particularly obvious impact here.
The port city is less than 300km away from the capital, and it must be too much trouble to fly, so Ding Gaoheng directly sent a special car to Chang Haonan to take him directly to the main venue.
Although Liang Zhuoping said before that he could scan his face throughout the whole process, Chang Haonan still brought an invitation letter and attendance certificate to avoid embarrassing situations if someone failed to recognize him.
However, when he got off the car and entered the International Conference Center, he found that he had underestimated his influence within the aviation industry system.
"Mr. Chang!"
Almost immediately after Chang Haonan entered the door, he heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.
Looking around, there were several people in suits standing there.
Among them was Zhong Shihong, director of the technical department of Factory 410, who was already very familiar with Chang Haonan.
"Minister Zhong, long time no see."
Chang Haonan stepped forward and shook hands with the other party.
"Mr. Chang, Comrade Shihong has been promoted to the deputy general manager of Liming Engine Company (the formal name of Factory 410 at this time)."
Someone next to me joked with a slightly humorous tone.
"Oh? Then the title should really be changed."
Chang Haonan responded with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhong Shihong quickly waved his hand:
"No, no, no, this is all thanks to Mr. Chang. If there weren't so many orders for the Turbojet 14, and without the quality improvement brought about by the Seiko Plan, let alone promotion, my head of the technical department would be embarrassed to continue. Get on with it."
"Mr. Chang, you'd better call me Comrade Shihong, or Zhong Gong."
After a brief greeting after the meeting, Zhong Shihong also introduced several other people next to him to Chang Haonan.
"This is Comrade Liu Yongquan. He has been responsible for the pre-research work on the third-generation turbofan engine project at the 606 Institute."
The first is the first person who talked to Chang Haonan just now.
Judging from his face, this person should be around thirty years old, but his bald head is extremely conspicuous in the crowd, and it directly adds to his overall temperament by at least ten years.
"Hello, Mr. Chang."
Liu Yongquan also put away his joking tone and shook hands with Chang Haonan:
"When the turbojet 14 was improved last year, I heard your name, especially the method you proposed to control the flow inside the high-pressure compressor Ye Shan. It was a revelation to me. Recently, In the past half year, I have also conducted a lot of research on the design of high-aspect ratio blades. I will give a report at the meeting soon, and I hope you can give me some advice."
Obviously, this person is one of the many researchers who have been influenced and inspired by the latter.
"It sounds like Liu Gong is very familiar with my work last year."
Chang Haonan himself was a little surprised. After all, Zhong Shihong said that the other party had been responsible for the pre-research of the Turbofan 10, but his understanding of the specific work content of the Turbojet 14 project was as if he had personally participated.
"I'm ashamed to say that after I first heard your name, I took advantage of your meetings to sneak in and listen in a few times. I really benefited a lot."
Liu Yongquan touched his bald head awkwardly and replied.
Although scientific research units do not engage in mentoring and mentoring like guild organizations in the past, this kind of thing is like attending a meeting of other people's research groups without permission.
Although it does not violate any rules, if you meet a tutor who is sensitive to this aspect (especially those in the material science field), you will still be unhappy.
Anyone with a bad temper may drive people away directly.
Of course, Chang Haonan definitely didn't care. He wished that when he explained the plan, engineers in the entire aviation industry system could hear it simultaneously.
There is another person Chang Haonan has met once before. Zhang Zhenhua, the technical director of the 430 Factory, is now responsible for the production process of the domestically produced turbofan 9.
In addition, there were also engineers who came from Bingcheng, Zhucheng, Rongcheng, Jianning and other places to attend the meeting.
Most of them, like Zhang Zhenhua and Zhong Shihong, are technicians in production units.
"For this meeting, our factory sent a total of nearly 50 people, from grassroots management to technical backbones."
After introducing the people around him, Zhong Shihong pointed to the inside of the venue where final preparations were being made before the opening:
"There are also about thirty or forty people from the 606 factory, and almost the same number from the 430 factory. In short, Mr. Chang, your appeal is really good. I have never seen so many factories at the same meeting. Even Bingbing Chengcheng 122 Factory and Cidu 372 Factory, helicopter main engine factories that have little contact with us on weekdays, have sent representatives. As for 601 Factory and 112 Factory, they are not to mention. I heard that this will be yours. I mean, apply directly to the head office to request participation..."
"Original plant?"
Even Chang Haonan was stunned for a moment:
"I remember that this time I organized an industry conference for the aviation power industry..."
There are only other factories that have good personal relationships and close business ties with him, but the main businesses of Factory 122 (Zhi 5/Zhi 9) and 372 Factory (Zhi 8) are the production of helicopters. From the design, development principles and classification There is a big difference between the upper and fixed wing, because the two parties have not had much contact before.
"Fair hair doesn't separate families."
Liu Hongming next to him explained:
"I have a college classmate who is the representative sent by Factory 122 this time."
Another person echoed:
"Yes, some people have said before that 1997 may be a milestone for our Chinese aviation engine industry and the beginning of a new era."
"The invitation we received this time also said 'witness the first year of China's aerospace engine industry'..."
…
The large number of people coming at least shows that everyone either attaches high enough importance to him as a person, or attaches high enough importance to the aero-engine industry. In short, it is a good thing.
But the abundance of rainbow farts still makes Chang Haonan a little unable to bear it.
In the end, it was he who changed the topic first:
"By the way, Mr. Zhong, from what you just said, our 410 Factory's production speed of turbojet 14 should already be quite high?"
To be able to promote him, a technical director who is not yet old and has not yet come from within the aviation industry system, to the position of deputy general manager is obviously a good benefit.
"It depends. If we compare it with before, the production efficiency is indeed higher because the yield rate has increased a lot. Now we can deliver at least 15-20 turbojet 14 and turbojet 14B every month, but compared with the order demand, Compared to that, it’s still a bit slow, the workers work overtime almost every day, and our new general manager Lin Zuoming is even considering adding a new production line to ensure supply.”
This is pure Versailles.
Several engineers from other brother units nearby showed envious expressions.
Same world, different worries.
The orders in their hands are so small that they can only let workers take turns to take holidays, but others are so busy that they can't finish the production?
Chang Haonan also didn't expect this kind of plot to unfold:
"Is the production capacity of Factory 112 and Factory 132 so high? Can 20 engines be used every month?"
20 engines are equivalent to 10 J-8Cs or 20 J-7Fs per month. Even if they are split in half and calculated as 15, it is a production rate that China's aviation industry cannot even imagine today.
"more than."
Zhong Shihong waved his hand:
"About one-third of the goods are sent to Persia to overhaul and improve their F4E. Now there are dozens of people in Factory 112 stationed there, and they can completely overhaul 2- There are three aircraft, all of which have twin engines, so they consume a lot of money.”
"I see……"
Chang Haonan suddenly understood after hearing this explanation.
Obviously, under his operation, China actually became a net exporter of aviation engines in 1997...
From this point of view, the statement just now about "the first year of the aero-engine industry" is not entirely a propaganda slogan.
