Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 164 Technological Innovation

Niu Xiaoqiang felt flattered by Director Zhang's enthusiastic attitude. He thought to himself: No wonder he can become the director of petrochemical machinery. Look at this attitude towards people and things, he is no better than Deputy Director Qin and his gang. ?Deputy Factory Manager Qin's group of people are at best a bunch of clowns, and they can't get on the stage.

When the three of them walked into the office, Secretary Zhou had already made tea and snacks were ready.

Niu Xiaoqiang was quite surprised by Secretary Zhou's speed, and then thought in his heart: It's not easy to be a secretary for a big leader. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have such a fast speed.

Secretary Zhou stood in the office for a while after completing the tasks explained by the factory manager Zhang. Seeing that the factory manager had no other orders, he turned around and walked out, closing the door gently behind him.

"Old Fang, please sit down."

Director Zhang sat down politely with Fang Dongping, took out a Zhonghua cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Fang Dongping, and another to Niu Xiaoqiang.

Niu Xiaoqiang said thank you very politely: "Thank you uncle, I don't know how to smoke."

Factory Manager Zhang nodded, put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it, then exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Fang, you just said that you need my help. Now there is no outsider, so just tell me."

Since the other party was so straightforward, Fang Dongping did not go around in circles, and directly explained his intentions: "I have quit my job, and now I am planning to build a small factory. I am here to ask you to place an order today. If it is convenient for you, I will give you a meal." It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to eat."

Factory Manager Zhang just heard that Fang Dongping said that he came to him for help. At first, he thought that the other party encountered great difficulties, otherwise he would not have come to him.Hearing Fang Dongping's words at this moment, Factory Director Zhang couldn't help laughing in surprise: "I thought it was a big problem. Relationships are such a trivial matter. If someone comes to find my way, I might consider the other party's technology and skills." The scale does not meet the procurement standards of our factory, since you spoke in person, there is nothing to say, I will give you a note."

Fang Dongping was also a little puzzled by Director Zhang's unexpected straightforwardness, but he was too embarrassed to ask about this kind of thing. He could only understand that Director Zhang was indeed a talkative person.

Factory Manager Zhang quickly wrote the note, leaving only blanks on the quantity and type of products. He raised his head and asked, "Mr. Fang, what parts can your factory process? How big is the production capacity?"

Faced with such a straightforward director Zhang, Fang Dongping seemed a little embarrassed, and he laughed dryly: "My factory currently only has one machine tool, which can basically process ordinary parts."

Director Zhang didn't mean to look down on people at all. He nodded and said, "The profitability of processing bearings is relatively high. I'll give you a batch of [-] pieces. Do you think it's okay?"

The price of petroleum machinery and chemical equipment is much higher than that of other machinery and equipment, which means that the same is the processing of bearings, and the profit margin of others is also much higher.Fang Dongping still has some understanding of the market conditions. According to his estimation, each of these bearings can earn at least 300 yuan in processing fees, and one hundred bearings is a profit of 3 yuan.I have to say that Director Zhang is really interesting.

"Okay, then thank you, Director Zhang."

Factory Manager Zhang nodded and wrote down the quantity and type of bearings, and ordered out the door: "Secretary Zhou, please come in."

Secretary Zhou immediately pushed the door open and entered. Apparently, he had been standing outside the door just now, waiting for the leader's instructions.

"Director, what are your orders?"

"You arrange the matters on this note yourself, and you need to find a vehicle to transport the goods to the place designated by Mr. Fang. All expenses will be reimbursed by me personally."

Secretary Zhou nodded, agreed and walked out.

After explaining the matter, Director Zhang handed Fang Dongping another Chinese stick, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fang, you helped me so much last time. I haven't had time to thank you. It's already past lunch." It's time, why don't you go after dinner later?"

Fang Dongping hurriedly shook his head: "I accept your wish. I live too far from the city, so I won't be able to go back when it's too late."

Factory Manager Zhang waved his hand: "What's so difficult about it? Just stay in the guest house of our factory tonight. I also want to talk to you about something, so don't refuse."

Fang Dongping just now felt that Director Zhang's attitude was too good, even if there was some affection between the two, there was no need for him to be so polite as a department-level cadre.At this moment, after listening to Director Zhang's words, Fang Dongping finally understood that there is still more to be said about his feelings.

In the past, Fang Dongping would probably stay here for a good meal, but now it's different, he didn't come here to be invited to solve the problem, but to ask for help.He felt a little sorry for accepting such great affection from others, and naturally he was unwilling to accept other people's entertainment.

I saw him waving his hand: "There is really no need for dinner. If Director Zhang has something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to make it too complicated."

Factory Manager Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, let me just say it straight, do you remember what happened last time?"

Fang Dongping nodded: "Of course I remember, why, is there something wrong with the improvement plan I proposed?"

"No, no, the improvement plan you proposed is very appropriate, and there is no problem. I just want to ask if you have done any research on petrochemical machinery? If you have, can you provide some suggestions for our factory? Recently, the oil system is engaged in technological innovation activities, and our factory has also participated in it, but it has not achieved any results after more than three months. I, the factory manager, have a bad face when I go to a meeting in the ministry. Today just happens to be you. Me, I just want to take this opportunity to ask your opinion."

Fang Dongping has never studied petrochemical equipment, but this does not mean that he knows nothing about it.He used to be a professor of physical and mechanical engineering in the university, and he was the top one.As long as it is mechanical equipment, there is a certain degree of commonality. The phrase "interlaced like a mountain" is not so absolute in front of him. He can understand the situation clearly after a little research on the blueprints that others cannot understand.

For example, the problem that Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery encountered the year before last. Fang Dongping was invited to Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery Factory. The first thing he did was to check the design drawings.Relying on his superb attainments in mechanical equipment, he found the design problems without much effort, and then he put forward his own improvement suggestions according to the principles of physical mechanical engineering.

Since this kind of equipment does not involve very high technical content, his improvement suggestions are very applicable and helped Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery Factory solve the problem at once.It was precisely because Director Zhang saw this that he asked Fang Dongping for help at this moment.
