Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 165 Machine Tools and Soybean Oil Ending

Yu Yang studies three-axis CNC milling machines not to develop more advanced four-axis and five-axis machines.

Instead, they were thinking about how Sanyuan Heavy Industry could avoid overseas patents and launch its own machine tools.

Even if this machine tool does not have a sophisticated CNC system, at least it can be sold publicly.

Otherwise, where did your money go if you spent 510 billion to build this huge behemoth and nothing was accomplished?

Is it injecting it into other companies and planning something secretly?
With ADM's power, it is estimated that it will soon discover the 10 soybeans cultivated in Hangai's -acre experimental fields, and then associate it with the Second Soybean Oil War.

It was even discovered that the planting areas in Yishui and Yimeng were restarted and more Chinese herbal medicines were cultivated, which was associated with chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Therefore, the company must come up with some real stuff to prove that Sanyuan Heavy Industry is indeed the focus of Sanyuan Agriculture's future development.

Yu Yang pondered for a long time in front of the three-axis CNC milling machine, then came to the old site of the township compound and tried to make the machine tool from scratch with the help of the blacksmith shop in order to find inspiration.

In fact, machine tools are not rare.

For example, fix a small metal stick to the table.

Then install a set of footrests on the other table and a set of grinding wheels on the tabletop.

You step on the foot pedal to make the grinding wheel rotate, and then you move the two tables closer together to make the grinding wheel grind the metal stick. This can also be called a machine tool.

And belongs to the grinder.

If you replace the grinding wheel with a side-edged knife and drill holes in a metal stick, it is called a drilling machine.

If the slanted blade knife is replaced with a 'hard screwdriver', and high-speed rotation is used to make the screwdriver vertically process the metal stick into screws, or the hard screwdriver is used horizontally to use its hard threads to cut the metal column into metal sheets, or parallel processing is used to make the metal column thinner, this is called a milling machine tool, also called a milling machine.

And this hard screwdriver is called a milling cutter.

If you don't want to pedal, replace the electric pedal.

I also didn’t want to move the table by hand, so I added electric slides to the table legs.

Even electric clamps and processed scales were added to the desktop to replace the metal posts.

This is not called a CNC machine tool, this is called a semi-automatic machine tool.

Currently, most of Dongfang’s machine tools are semi-automatic.

It takes one or two apprentices to use it to process ordinary metal products.

To use it to process metal products with millimeter-level precision, a master craftsman with 20 to 30 years of industry experience is needed.

It is almost impossible to use it to process metal products with a precision of 0.01 mm, which is almost impossible to do with bare hands.

For example, if four grooves are evenly carved on the surface of a metal stick with consistent specifications and an error of less than 4, perhaps a skilled craftsman can complete one piece.

But what about 100 pieces, 1000 pieces, or 1 pieces?
And, what if the customer requires completion in 1 day?

At this time, we need to use "CNC".

Just like making glass bottles.

With the addition of automated equipment, production capacity can instantly increase by dozens or even hundreds of times.

The system that controls the automated device, for example, sets the number of products to be processed within a period of time and how to perform the processing, whether to shave off a few millimeters or drill a few holes. A simpler system is called a control cabinet, and a more complex system is called a machining center.

Therefore, CNC machine tools are divided into three parts.

One is processing tools, including drills, milling cutters, grinders, etc. If all kinds of tools are put together, it is called a tool magazine.

The second is the machine tool body, including the spindle box, automation device, operation panel, drive device, auxiliary device, etc.

The third is the machining center, including control system, programming system, computing system and so on.

Among them, the machining center is the core of CNC machine tools.

Most of the CNC machine tools that are sold overseas to the East are equipped with mechanical locks and self-destruct programs in their machining centers.

In other words, if you study or disassemble it, the entire CNC machine tool will be scrapped and cannot be repaired.

Even if it can be repaired, they won't do it for you and you have to pay extra to buy a new one.

And this time.

You own a CNC machine and feel really awesome.

But the second devil next door, who was in partnership with foreign capital, suddenly announced that its production capacity would increase tenfold.

You go to take a look and are surprised to find that the metal sticks can be cut, grooved and polished without the use of three CNC machines, nor do they have to be done in separate steps. Instead, it can be done all at once on the same platform.

Whether in terms of cost or efficiency, it is far from comparable to our own.

Therefore, the bearings manufactured by the Japanese next door are half the price than before, and the quantity is ten times that of before, and they can make more money by selling them.

So you went bankrupt.

You reflect on your mistakes, grit your teeth, and use your connections to get a bank loan and to buy a three-axis CNC machine tool.

Finally, you have a brand new factory and are once again on the same starting line as the Japanese devils next door.

In order to widen the production capacity gap with your competitors, you think about it and suddenly have an idea. You decide to add a mechanical clamp to the three-axis linkage CNC machine tool, or add a flip platform, so that it can complete cutting, grooving and grinding while also slimming down the metal pillars.

That is to improve efficiency.

But after you tinkered with it, the control system of the CNC machine burned out.

Because with each additional process, the computer's computing power will double exponentially.

And the more high-precision the process, the greater the amount of calculation.

The 'chip' of the three-axis linkage machine tool cannot support four high-precision linkage processes at all.

If you want it to carry the load, you must replace it with a better chip.

The problem is that your country cannot produce chips of this level.

Fortunately, you have a good brain, and you added an additional small CNC machine tool to the three-axis linkage CNC machine tool, and then used the table flipping or mechanical clamping to "hand" the semi-finished parts to complete the fourth process.

In this way, you have a 3+1 axis linkage CNC machine tool.

We can even add one more and have a 3+2-axis linkage CNC machine tool.

Although they are not as good as real four-axis or real five-axis, their efficiency has been greatly improved and is enough to crush the Japanese.

You never thought that the Japanese not only used real four-axis and five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, but also snatched the engine crankshaft order that you were determined to win from you.

The reason for this is that their yield rate is higher than yours, their cost is lower than yours, and their quotation is lower than yours.

So, you are bankrupt again.

You reflect on your mistakes and think that there will be more advanced eight-axis five-link, twelve-axis five-link, twenty-four-axis five-link...

"Fuck the manufacturing industry! I don't want to play this game anymore!"

After your roar, you took the little remaining funds, shouted the slogan of developing the country through science and technology, invested in the Internet, and started real estate. During this period, you also launched several pay-to-win games. In just three to five years, you became the richest man in the East.

……

Yu Yang thought about it for a long time, but ultimately failed to figure out how to build his own CNC machine tool.

Because we simply cannot get around patents.

"Forget it, let the 'water route' team sell conventional CNC machine tools and three-axis linkage CNC machine tools until they are sold out."

Yuyang contacted the third push to increase production capacity and distribute the products comprehensively.

At this time.

The girl who stayed at the front desk called to report: "Director Yu, the person in charge of the Oriental Food System, is here to visit."

"Wait in the negotiation area."

"Ok."

It’s not surprising that the food system came to our door.

Because after the soybean oil war, the other side became the big winner.

At this time, in order to increase its brand influence, Fulinmen certainly hopes to acquire "Sany soybean oil which is no longer sold externally".

However, what the other party did not know was that while Jishui was planting the second crop of Sanyi soybeans, Shiliying Street also began to cultivate Saner soybean seeds.

By the beginning of next spring, the 500 soybeans with a yield of kilograms per mu and better taste will be spread across Jishui, Liaoshi, Weicheng and Puyang.

The total planted area exceeds 2000 million mu.

Two consecutive crops will yield at least 1000 million tons. The soybean oil war will begin again.

Yu Yang took a car to the brick kiln office area, and the front desk called again.

"Mr. Yu, the head of Xiwang Group in Dongshan Bincheng, is here to visit."

"King of the West?"

Yu Yang had some impression of this company.

Because when his company was doing general contracting for projects in another time and space, many steel materials used in special projects were purchased from Xiwang.

The other party can be considered a large domestic enterprise, mainly engaged in corn processing and special steel.

Immediately.

While thinking, I walked into the office lobby.

The front desk reported again: "Mr. Yu, the person in charge of Luhua, Longda and Changshouhua came to visit."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang originally planned to arrange someone to entertain them.

The former director of Pingdong County, now the director of the Tai City People's Assembly, called

"Xiao Yu, the executive from Northeast China that we met when we were purchasing rails and locomotives came to me for help. He said he wanted to introduce the person in charge of Jiusan Group to you through me. The person has already arrived in Tai City."

"Strange, since ADM has been spreading rumors about our company, there shouldn't be many people buying Sany soybean oil now, right?"

"They ordered Sany soybean oil in order to mix it with their own soybean oil to improve the quality of their own soybean oil and make it more competitive in the market."

"I see."

Yu Yang understood.

Just like many working families who bought ADM soybean oil.

What should I do if the food does not have the rich aroma and mellow taste of Sany soybean oil?
Hey, pour in two cups of Sany soybean oil and shake the oil barrel, then the flavor will be there, right?

Although this soybean oil is much blander than Sany soybean oil, it is generally better than ADM soybean oil.

"So, Sany soybean oil has become an alternative food additive?"

Yu Yang thought for a moment and asked the front desk to invite all the visiting guests to the multimedia conference room next door.

After a while.

Yu Yang said as he walked into the meeting room.

"When we were fighting ADM, you all kept silent. Now that we are delisting, you all come here again. Are you taking advantage of our weak Sanyuan Agriculture and want to get a piece of the pie?"

The person in charge of Xiwang Group, who was sitting on the far left, stood up and said, "Mr. Yu, you are joking. Your Sanyuan Heavy Industry has raised 510 billion yuan. Who in the East can compare with it? Moreover, facing a behemoth like ADM, it is already difficult to survive in the cracks. How dare we jump out and confront them openly?"

"Your family is engaged in corn processing and special steel, what's there to be afraid of?"

"ADM has been eyeing the corn industry together with three other international grain traders as early as half a year ago."

"So, the King of the West is preparing to transform?"

"No company will rely on just one tree, including your company, Mr. Yu. Vegetables, fruits, building materials, construction, tourism, aquatic products, feed, soybean oil, precision instruments... Don't we all hope to develop in a diversified way and have an extra way out?"

"Makes sense!"

Yu Yang sat at the head of the conference table and nodded to the visitors. "Let me put it this way. I really won't sell Sany soybean oil anymore. If any of you want it, we'll supply it at the market price before it was taken off the shelves. If any of you think it's too expensive, forget it. After all, our factory has a lot of internal friction."

Luhua: "Mr. Yu, to be honest, we introduced Sany soybean oil in order to launch a new brand. We will use Luhua soybean oil and Sany soybean oil to mix mid-to-high-end soybean oil. We hope to get it for a long time. If you are willing to supply Sany soybeans, we can accept it."

"Some time ago, Wilmar International established Yihai Kerry in Shanghai and discussed cooperation with you. How many shares did you give up?"

"This……"

"No need to hide it. You should understand that if I want to know, I can ask my superiors."

"25%."

"My goodness, ADM is secretly making a move. I estimate that its shareholding ratio will soon rise to around 60%. Get him out of here."

"..."

These days, there is nothing strange about transferring shares, introducing foreign investment, and promoting technological innovation.

Haven’t you seen that FAW-Volkswagen, GM, GAC Honda, etc. all do this?

However, the company and ADM are still in a state of war. What is the difference between a company with enemy shareholdings coming to discuss cooperation and spying on military intelligence?
After a while.

Yu Yang looked at the rest of the people and said, "Let's put it this way. Sany soybean oil doesn't have much inventory, but Sany soybeans have a surplus of 150 million tons. In November this year, our company will harvest at least 11 million tons. I will supply these Sany soybeans to you and then buy back Sany soybean meal. How about your own price?"

Xiwang: "Mr. Yu, the oil yield of Sany soybeans is 46.5%. Excluding the value of soybean meal, we are willing to purchase 1 tons at a price of 1 yuan per catty."

"no problem."

Long Da: "Mr. Yu, in addition to purchasing 20 tons of Sany soybeans, we also hope to purchase a batch of Luxi yellow beef and super-fat Yellow River native pigs."

"Soybeans are fine, but for beef and pork, you should look for Mr. Gu and Dong Jian."

The pigs raised by Dong Jian are indeed a "special fat breed" bred in a stable.

Instead of the lean pigs that people in another time and space liked to eat.

The reason is still the lack of oil.

Not only farmers like to buy it, they also take it back to refine oil.

Even steamed bun shops, steamed bun shops, etc. like to buy this special fertilizer.

Especially the buns made in the bun shop, the fragrance fills your throat when you take a bite.

for a long time.

Of the 150 million tons of Sany soybean surplus held by Sanyuan Agriculture, 130 million tons were divided up, generating revenue of 26 billion.

Yuyang must keep the remaining 20 tons for internal consumption.

Otherwise, the canteen, Sanyuan restaurant, Sanyuan fast food, and semi-finished vegetable oil packages would be out of supply.

By the time everyone left, it was already evening.

Yu Yang suddenly received a call from Fujima.

"Yu Sang, stop it. I apologize to you."

"Soybean oil? I have stopped selling Sany soybean oil."

"No, I'm talking about a three-axis CNC machine tool."

"What the hell?"

"Three-axis CNC machine tool!"

"What is it for?"

"idiot!"

Fujima was indeed anxious.

Because Dongfang is currently unable to produce high-precision three-axis linkage CNC machine tools.

If one or two similar devices appear in the East, it is possible.

After all, there is a 'waterway'.

But this afternoon, a large number of high-precision machine tools suddenly appeared on the market, which was suspicious.

Marubeni dominates the import and export trade in the East.

Who is this ghost? Any idea?

It must be Fujima!

In particular, this guy secretly sold CT machines and MRI machines to Sanyuan Agriculture.

Furthermore, this guy dismantled the equipment of the bankrupt Tokyo Bay enterprise and secretly sold it to Sanyuan Agriculture.

This is more than just a criminal record.

This is clearly a habitual offender!
