Chapter 18: Isn't this a dead end?

Returned from the iron and steel plant to the agricultural machinery plant, Qin Hai returned to the single building by himself, and Ning Mo and others went directly to the workshop and began to scavenge scrap steel and scrap iron, not even the iron shavings and iron chips processed by the machine tool.
"Fat, what do you want this thing for?"
夜 The night shift workers in the metalworking workshop saw Ning Mo sweeping the iron filings on the side of the machine like a baby and carefully packing them in several different boxes, all surprised. It is not uncommon to pick up scrap steel to do various things in the factory. But this type of iron filings have always been removed as garbage, and no one has ever seen such things picked.
He Ning smiled and didn't answer, but asked the person who asked the question, "What steel was the part you just processed?"
"What steel?" The other party was inexplicable. "No. 20 chrome steel, it's written on the picking list."
"Well, No. 20 chrome steel ..." Ning really wrote the corresponding steel number on the carton containing iron filings, and no one knew what that chrome word was written about.
Don't look at Qingfeng Factory is just a county-level agricultural machinery factory. Over the past 20 years, it has developed to a certain scale. The types of products produced are diverse, and the steel grades involved are also complicated. For example, to make small gears used in tractors, 20 # chromium alloy steel is used; while processing cold work molds, chromium 12 molybdenum vanadium steel is used. Ordinary workers are not concerned about the differences in the properties of these steels, they just go to the warehouse to receive the specified grades of steel according to the process requirements, and then process them.
Qin Hai intends to make an outstanding military dagger for the nephew's nephew. First, he must find the right steel. To be excellent in toughness, strength, wear resistance, etc., this steel must be some kind of alloy steel. In Qin Hai's mind, there are many recipes for various alloy steels. Taking one out is much better than the common steels on the market today. To smelt this alloy steel, a variety of metal materials such as chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and nickel are required. In Qin Hai's current status, it is very difficult to obtain these raw materials.
Fortunately, Qin Hai is an eclectic person. He thought of the various alloy steels currently used in the factory, which contain these metal elements. If a variety of alloy steels can be skillfully combined and smelted in one place, the result is The kind of ultra-high-strength steel he needed.
With this idea in mind, he arranged for Ning Mo and others to collect scrap steel and scraps from the workshop, and asked them to keep a clear record of the steel types of these scrap steels for preparation. Ning Mo and Miao Lei respectively went to the metalworking workshop and the foundry to find scrap steel. Yu Haitao is a warehouse statistician. It is convenient for his job. He collects used turning tools, gears and other materials recovered in the warehouse. These things also contain Qinhai Required rare metals.
Wu Qinhai did not go with Ning Mo to collect scrap metal. This was not his specialty, and he didn't have to waste time on it. He went back to the bachelor's building alone, went into his room, took out the white paper, and began to turn the several ordnances he had in mind into working drawings.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk, Tuk Tuk Tuk." Someone knocked on the door, followed by Wang Xiaochen's voice: "Xiao Qin, are you back?"
Qi Qinhai got up and opened the door for Wang Xiaochen, let her into the room, and asked with a smile: "Is there something, Xiao Chen?"
晓 Wang Xiaochen held a thermos bottle in his hand and said, "I made an extra bottle of boiling water and brought it to you. You leave with Ningmo as soon as you get off work. You must not have opened the water?"
"Thanks Xiaochen a lot." Qin Hai quickly took the thermos and thanked Wang Xiaochen.
Wang Xiaochen said, "By the way, I have one more thing to inform you. After work today, Chief Xiang, Chief Xiao and Chief Leng came to see you together. I don't know what happened. Chief Xiang said, called You have to go to work in the foundry on time tomorrow. "
Qin Haidao: "I would have to go to the foundry to work, wouldn't he do it all the more? However, I know what they came to me, it must be the high-frequency induction surfacing that I told the chief manager today."
"They didn't say." Wang Xiaochen said, and she lowered her voice a few degrees, and asked, "Xiao Qin, have you heard that, our factory is going to switch production again."
内容 The content of the mid-level cadre meeting in the afternoon had already been circulated in Qingfeng Factory without waiting for the night. There are only 200 cadres and workers in the Qingfeng factory, of which more than 30 belong to middle-level cadres. Each middle-level cadre has three or five employees and friends who have good relations. After the meeting, it is natural to disclose the contents of the meeting to one or two of their friends. The result of more than 30 people revealing to the outside world at the same time is naturally spreading the news to everyone.
"Changeover? What is the changeover? What does this have to do with me?" Qin Hai asked wonderingly. He was taken away by Ningmo as soon as he was off duty today. This meeting has just returned. Naturally, he did not know what happened at the middle-level cadre meeting.
In addition, he only reported to the Qingfeng Factory yesterday. The past grievances at the Qingfeng Factory were also quite a distant event for him. In his opinion, what is the Qingfeng plant willing to produce, and that is what the director wants to think about, and what does it do to him? He does have a lot of knowledge in material technology, but it also depends on the need in the plant. If his knowledge is not needed in the factory, then he simply and quietly goes to do private work to make money.
Wang Xiaochen apparently intends to have a good chat with Qin Hai about the change of production. From her perspective, she believes that the rise and fall of Qingfeng Factory is directly related to her own interests, so she has been worried about this matter. She feels that Qin Hai is a literate person, and she has no clue, and is willing to communicate with her ordinary flaw detector, so she would like to hear Qin Hai's views on the matter.
"Xiao Qin, don't you know?" Wang Xiaochen sat down on Qin Hai's bed and said, "Our factory has changed production this time, it has changed a lot. Director Wei means to completely abandon the production of agricultural machinery and switch to washing machines. "
"Converted to washing machine?" Qin Hai saw Wang Xiaochen sit down, knowing that she was planning to have a long talk with herself, so she sat down in a chair and listened to Wang Xiaochen patiently. Qin Hai couldn't help laughing when Wang Xiaochen said that the Qingfeng factory was planning to switch to washing machines. "We Baolin's head was kicked by the donkey? When is this time? We are still switching to washing machines. Isn't this a dead end?"
"Really?" Wang Xiaochen stared at Qin Hai with wide eyes and asked inexplicably: "Isn't it good to switch to a washing machine?"
Qin Haidao: "If it is three years earlier, it is a good choice to switch to a washing machine. Of course, the premise is whether our factory can solve the problem of the supply of raw materials such as motors and plastics. Today, the washing machine is so popular that it will be re-produced at this time Washing machines are a dead end. Do you know how many cities in the country are building their own washing machine factories? "
"Ah!" Wang Xiaochen was stunned by Qin Hai's words. "You mean, if our factory switches to a washing machine, it will definitely fail, right?"
Qin Haidao: "Whether it will fail, no one is sure, but this is really not a good decision. According to my impression, various home appliance companies have been launched in large numbers throughout the country in the past two years, including televisions, washing machines, refrigerators. Wait, there will be an oversupply phenomenon soon. Our factory has no advantage in this regard. If the market is surplus, the first one to collapse will naturally be a factory like ours. "
"Is that so?" Wang Xiaochen thoughtfully. "Today we heard that middle-level cadres will come back and talk about the production of washing machines. Everyone says everything. Some people think that making washing machines is more profitable than making agricultural machines, and some people I think our factory may not make washing machines, but no one thinks like you. "
Qin Hai smiled slightly without explanation. In that era, China was still a country with a shortage of supplies. People only thought about whether they could make things, and they never considered whether they could sell them. In later generations, when supplies are highly abundant, selling things becomes more important than making things.
Wu Qinhai was able to plan ahead, thinking of the crisis of the oversupply of the washing machine market entirely because he was a traverser from later generations. If he did not have such a prophecy, I am afraid that, like the cadres and staff of the Qingfeng Plant, he would only confine his thinking to the issue of production capacity.
"Qin Hai, tell your thoughts to the factory manager, let him stop washing machines." Wang Xiaochen begged, she was really worried about the future of the factory. The reason Qin Hai said was understandable. She felt that if Qin Hai told Wei Baolin these truths, Wei Baolin would surely realize the risk of changing the washing machine and change this wrong decision.
Qin Hai secretly said: Wang Xiaochen is only a 20-year-old girl after all, it is too simple to think about the problem. Wei Baolin did not pay attention to the risk of producing washing machines. They insisted on launching this idea. I am afraid that it is more profitable and faint. This cannot be changed by others. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com
Thinking of this, Qin Hai shook his head and said, "I'm a gentleman. It doesn't seem appropriate to talk to the factory manager about this kind of thing, right? Chief Xiang and Chief Xiao are both experienced people. Don't they think of this ? "
Wang Xiaochen said: "I don't know if they thought of this, but I talked to a few masters about it today, and they didn't mention it, only you Xiao Qin thought of it. Oh, if it's true Like your little Qin said, then our factory is bad. "
Qin Haidao: "The flesh-eaters can do it. This kind of thing is not something we small workers can worry about."
晓 Wang Xiaochen was also a little depressed. She stood up and walked out, and said, "Well, okay ... Xiao Qin, let's rest early."
"Okay, Xiaochen walk slowly." Qin Hai said.

Have a day meeting yesterday and come home late. A friend who has always been very reliable recommended this new seedling book on Q, called "The Birth of an Entertainment Empire", saying it is very similar to my book.
I looked at it and thought it was really well written. Many entertainment-themed novels come up with great killings from all sides. The supporting IQ is zero, and the protagonist is full of Wang Baqi. This book is written about the normal person's world, and the human condition is all in the normal world, suitable for the taste of oranges.
In fact, what I want to say is that I am fascinated by reading books ... I forgot to post the update this morning. Students who have trouble with the book can click the link below
