Chapter 227 Wei Dongqi's Stage
Standing in front of the big blackboard in the conference room, Wei Dongqi, who was introducing chemical machinery products to buyers from all over the world, felt like an old man who was going crazy when he was chatting with a teenager. A wider stage allows his life to shine again.

Wei Dongqi made a lot of determination to switch from petrochemical machinery to Hanhua Heavy Industry. During this process, Xie Chunyan, Fan Shibin and others also played a great role.

Wei Dongqi was a college student in the 50s, majoring in petrochemical engineering.After graduating from university, he was assigned to work in petrochemical machinery, and witnessed the glory and desolation of petrochemical machinery.When the petrochemical machine gave up pressure vessels and switched to producing refrigerators, he also secretly shed tears, but he never moved to quit.He is already a five-year-old, and he will retire after more than ten years, and he doesn't want to worry about it anymore.

Hearing the news that Hanhua Machinery Factory had received four sets of large fertilizer orders from Thailand, Wei Dongqi felt sour. In Wei Dongqi's eyes, the 10-ton large chemical fertilizer equipment is barely a project worthy of displaying his skills. Unfortunately, this project is not his, but Fan Shibin's. He can only watch the excitement.

Wei Dongqi and Fan Shibin study the same major, and work in the same system. They have a good personal relationship and understand each other better.Wei Dongqi's professional level is higher than that of Fan Shibin, which is recognized in the light and chemical department system, and Fan Shibin himself admits it.However, now that Fan Shibin is working on big projects vigorously, Wei Dongqi can only design a small gadget like a refrigerator handle, how can Wei Dongqi accept this.

The last time when Lin Zhenhua took Fan Shibin and others to the petrochemical machine to take away idle equipment, he casually said a word to Wei Dongqi, saying that he would go to the Middle East to sell oil refining equipment in the future. The long-extinguished flame was rekindled.

After Lin Zhenhua left, Wei Dongqi spent several sleepless nights, and finally couldn't bear his temper. He ran to Fan Shibin in private to ask whether Hanhua Machinery Factory really had the intention to build oil refining equipment.Fan Shibin had already obtained Lin Zhenhua's secret decree, so he didn't want to talk nonsense, but just brought Wei Dongqi to the civil construction site of Xunyang Chemical Equipment Base to experience it for himself.

The planned container workshop is just digging the foundation at this time, but Wei Dongqi can tell from the area and depth of the foundation that this huge workshop is not just for 10 tons of fertilizer equipment. Lin Zhenhua's The heart is much bigger than he imagined.

"Old Fan, you, Manager Lin, don't want to pick up the 11-ton ethylene project again?" Wei Dongqi asked timidly.

11 tons of ethylene was Wei Dongqi's dream when he was young, and it was also a pain in his heart.As early as the mid-70s, when the country introduced three sets of ethylene equipment with an annual output of 11 to 30 tons, it began to arrange the localization of ethylene complete sets of equipment.Wei Dongqi, who was full of vigor back then, was also transferred to the Northeast by the State Planning Commission to participate in localization research.

It was really a period of passionate years. The engineers, technicians and workers of the research team fought day and night, rushing towards one technical difficulty after another.However, there are as many problems in materials, equipment, processes, etc. as a mountain, and the financial and technical support that the research team can get is very limited.The welding process and related equipment of the ethylene cracking furnace, the manufacturing process and materials of the three ethylene machines—that is, ethylene compressors, propylene compressors, and cracked gas compressors—have become obstacles they cannot overcome.

The 11-ton ethylene research project ended in failure. When the leader of the State Planning Commission announced the disbandment of the research team, Wei Dongqi, like other colleagues in the team, cried like a group of children.Wei Dongqi still remembers that there was an old engineer named He Chengshan who held his hand with tears and said, "Xiao Wei, I will never see the localization of ethylene equipment in my life, I hope you can complete it." The unfinished business of our generation. When our large-scale domestic ethylene equipment is put into production, you must remember to burn a celebration announcement in front of my grave, and let me take a look."

From the failure of 11 tons of ethylene to today, 10 years have passed in a flash.Although the State Council officially included 30 tons of ethylene equipment in the list of major complete sets of scientific and technological equipment two years ago, according to Wei Dongqi's knowledge, the progress of the entire project is not smooth.There are many major equipment problems that the country needs to solve, and 30 tons of ethylene has not been listed as the top priority.And Wei Dongqi himself, because of the decline of petrochemical machinery, has become more and more distant from such projects.

Hearing Wei Dongqi's question, Fan Shibin replied: "Old Wei, Manager Lin told me that his goal is not 11 tons. The 11 tons of equipment has been eliminated abroad, and even 30 tons of equipment has been eliminated. It is already behind the production capacity. His goal is 80 tons, or even 100 million tons."

"80 tons!" Wei Dongqi's heart jumped violently. Based on what he had heard about Lin Zhenhua's deeds, he had a vague feeling that this was not bragging.Lin Zhenhua has such courage and ability.

Domestically produced 80 tons of ethylene, if you can participate in this project, even if you only serve as an ordinary engineer in it, your life will be worthwhile.A good man is born between the heaven and the earth, and he must engage in such a large industry to be worthy of his seven-foot body.He remembered what He Chengshan had said to him, and Wei Dongqi couldn't miss what He Chengshan had missed.Maybe, in a few years, he will be a grandfather. He hopes that one day he can hug his grandson and say to him: Look, the fractionation tower that is so tall that it can be inserted between white clouds was designed by your grandfather himself.

"Old Fan, I want to be transferred to your Hanhua Machinery Factory, can you ask me if your factory is willing to accept it?" Wei Dongqi asked timidly.

"That's needless to say!" Fan Shibin laughed loudly, "Our Manager Lin has already said that, let me find a way to invite you here. If we want to build large-scale oil equipment, can we do without you, Old Wei?"

Hearing Wei Dongqi's proposal to be transferred to the Hanhua Factory, Lin Zhenhua immediately started operations.He didn't let Wei Dongqi take the initiative to resign from the petrochemical machine, but through Xie Chunyan, in the name of transfer from the light chemical department, to the petrochemical confidential person.This procedural difference allowed Wei Dongqi to avoid the reputation of betraying the petrochemical machine, which was good for his children who were still working in the petrochemical machine.

After Wei Dongqi left the petrochemical plant, the Light Chemical Department arranged for him to be assigned to the Chemical Equipment Institute with a false title of director level, and then the Light Chemical Department directly seconded him to the Xunyang Chemical Equipment Base as the chief engineer.At this time, the Hanhua Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd., a joint venture between the Provincial Economic Commission and Lin Zhenhua, had been established. Wei Dongqi served as the technical director of the group company, and Fan Shibin and another technician from the old Xunyang Bicycle Factory served as deputy directors. long.

Lin Zhenhua is not a reckless person. Although he has a plan to manufacture large-scale oil equipment, he also knows that this kind of giant-level equipment cannot be completed by his current equipment and technical conditions. He must proceed step by step.

After several in-depth talks with Wei Dongqi and some other chemical experts, Lin Zhenhua formulated a 10-year development plan, listed hundreds of key technologies, and then implemented them one by one.Some technologies can be pre-researched within the scope of Hanhua Heavy Industry, some need to find other companies and research institutes for cooperation, and some even need to train talents from scratch, starting from scratch.

In addition to this long-term plan, Lin Zhenhua also asked Wei Dongqi to take the lead in arranging some mid-term and near-term research projects.Among them, including the 40-ton fertilizer equipment project for the chemical equipment base, and the refrigerator compressor project for Hanhua Industrial Company.Wei Dongqi had no complaints about these work arrangements and readily accepted them.

This time to participate in the Frankfurt Equipment Exhibition, Lin Zhenhua specially brought Wei Dongqi along to let him come out to have a look at the situation abroad, and also to let him participate in the procurement of equipment related to the large chemical fertilizer project and the refrigerator compressor project.Hearing that merchants from Asia, Africa and Latin America wanted to purchase fertilizer equipment, Lin Zhenhua directly pushed Wei Dongqi to the front desk and asked him to introduce the equipment to everyone.

Although the petrochemical machine is a petrochemical machinery factory in name, it belongs to the light chemical department system and also produces fertilizers, pesticides, fine chemicals and other equipment.As the head of the technical section, Wei Dongqi is very familiar with the specifications, production schedule, and prices of these equipment. He will be able to answer any inquiries from the merchants at the venue.

Businessmen from various countries pay the most attention to fertilizer equipment, and there are many types of small fertilizer equipment.Just for the preparation of raw material gas for synthetic ammonia, there are many processes using different raw materials such as coke, anthracite, natural gas, and heavy oil. According to the different conditions of each country, it is necessary to choose equipment based on different processes.These technical details, even Lin Zhenhua, a master of Huaqing, are still at a loss, and can only lament that the lines are interlaced like mountains.

After hearing Wei Dongqi's introduction, the merchants all smiled as if suddenly enlightened, and then expressed their intention to import equipment.Lin Zhenhua took Schumann with him, negotiating with the merchants and initialing the cooperation agreement.Signing the final contract will of course need to go through many other links, but Lin Zhenhua knows in his heart that this group of merchants should not be able to escape.Let me ask, on today's earth, is there anyone whose products are as high-quality and cheap as Chinese products?

"Mr. Wei, I'm from Southern Sudan. My name is Vahir. I have a question for you. May I?" A black man walked up to Wei Dongqi and asked him politely. .

"Of course." Wei Dongqi said politely.The concept of brothers in Asia, Africa and Latin America was deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese people at that time. Wei Dongqi's enthusiasm for Vasir did not have any false elements.

"The products you introduced to my friends just now are mainly fertilizer equipment. Our southern Sudan's agriculture is not developed, so we don't have much need for fertilizer equipment. Our local production is oil. I would like to ask, can you A, uh...solution to our oil resources?" Vasir asked.

　Sorry for the late update.It is said that now is the time to double the monthly pass. If you have a spare monthly pass in your hand, let’s vote for Orange.
