The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 158 is of great significance, a major upgrade of China's automobile industry

Shougang and Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant are located in the east and west of the city respectively, so it is very convenient to move around if you have a car.

After confirming the high-strength automotive steel plates, Chen Qi couldn't wait to follow Jiang Hui to implement the relevant testing arrangements at the supporting factory.

"Xiao Jiang, it's not easy for others to learn the knowledge of their major thoroughly after studying in college for several years."

"Not only have you learned your major better than your teacher, but you have also accumulated a lot of knowledge across majors. This really surprised everyone."

Chen Qi is now becoming more and more satisfied with Jiang Hui.

From now on, my political achievements will depend on Jiang Hui.

“Although the Department of Vehicle Engineering’s research on materials is not as professional as the Department of Iron and Steel Metallurgy, there are also special courses to teach this knowledge.”

"I think that all kinds of parts on the car are made of various kinds of steel. If the relevant material properties cannot meet the requirements, there is no way to produce qualified parts."

"That's why I spent some time researching various materials."

Jiang Hui might do something in the field of materials in the future, so at this time he must show that he has also studied materials science.

Otherwise, if there are too many things, people will find it strange.

"You always bring us some surprises every now and then."

“But I like this surprise.”

Chen Qi was undoubtedly in a very good mood today.

The various obstacles to the mass production of the new BJ212 have basically been resolved, and the remaining ones are basically some minor problems.

He seemed to see great merit coming towards him.

Following this confirmation, Shougang quickly organized experts from relevant ministries and commissions to conduct a review of the high-strength automotive steel plate technology, which was considered to be formally recognized by various departments.

This news was also reported in the Metallurgical News.

This newspaper will be of interest not only to people in the steel industry, but also to people in various industries such as automobiles and equipment.

After all, materials are used in all walks of life.

Industries such as automobiles and equipment are more concerned about the performance of steel.

"Chief Engineer Yu, Jiang Hui has come up with some new tricks again."

Wang Le knew that Yu Jiang was very concerned about Jiang Hui's affairs.

Now that he had seen the news related to Jiang Hui in the newspaper, he naturally had to find an opportunity to report it to Yu Jiang.

"Isn't he busy with the new BJ212? What else can he come up with?"

Yu Jiang put down the documents in his hand and looked at Wang Le with some confusion.

"Jiang Hui cooperated with Capital Institute of Technology and Capital Institute of Steel to find Shougang to produce a high-strength automotive steel plate with a tensile strength of 440MPA."

"Compared to the current situation where most automotive steel plates cannot even reach 270MPA, this is definitely a huge leap forward."

After Wang Le said this, Yu Jiang became even more confused.

Jiang Hui also participated in the development of high-strength automotive steel plates?
Why does this sound so unreliable?

With doubt in his heart, Yu Jiang took the newspaper handed to him by Wang Le and read it quickly.

"Shougang has actually developed high-strength automotive steel plates. We also have a great demand for this material."

"Contact the Materials Department later and ask them to arrange for someone to communicate with Shougang to see how to purchase a batch as soon as possible."

"Then we also need to confirm with Anshan Iron and Steel Group to see if they have the technology in this area."

Soon, Yu Jiang roughly figured out the situation.

I didn’t expect that Jiang Hui was really involved in the high-strength automotive steel plate project.

I just don’t know if he is just adding his name to the list or is really deeply involved.

It is normal for Yu Jiang to think this way.

He knew the relationship between Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui. "This technological breakthrough is indeed of great significance to the domestic automobile industry."

"In the future, our Jiefang brand trucks can further increase their load capacity or reduce their weight."

"Invisibly, this performance has been greatly improved."

As the director of FAW's design department, Wang Le is naturally well aware of the impact that the upgrade of steel grades will have.

To put it bluntly, this technological advancement can significantly improve the performance of various products in China's automobile industry.

"As for Anshan Iron and Steel, I have been in communication with them. Their main research and development efforts are focused on military products such as warships and tanks. Their research and development capabilities in automotive steel plates are relatively weak, and they have not upgraded related technologies for more than ten years."

All of FAW's previous automotive steel plates were provided by Anshan Iron and Steel Group.

Since we are all from a vice-ministerial enterprise, communication is quite smooth.

However, it would be more difficult for FAW to feel like the client in front of Angang Steel.

"If Anshan Iron and Steel cannot provide high-strength automotive steel plates, then in the future, where high-strength steel plates are needed, we will have to ask Shougang to produce them."

"We need to find a way to pass this pressure on through the Materials Department."

Yu Jiang is not in charge of matters related to procurement, but if Ansteel does not meet its technical standards, he will definitely give feedback to the procurement staff.

In the future, we will work together to find other steel manufacturers for cooperation.

While FAW was discussing the Anshan Iron and Steel Company's affairs, the senior executives of Anshan Iron and Steel Company, who had also seen the report from the Ministry of Metallurgy, were in a bad mood.

"General Engineer Wan, 80% of the various automobile steel plates in China were produced by Anshan Iron and Steel Group."

"Now that Shougang has suddenly made a breakthrough in the technology of high-strength automotive steel plates, it will definitely have a great impact on our future production situation."

"After the conference last December, many factories began to pay attention to economic benefits. If the sales of our automotive steel plates are affected, the profits of the factory will also decline."

"What do you think about this situation?"

As the person in charge of Anshan Iron and Steel Group, Zhang Dong'an was in a bad mood at this time.

Anshan Iron and Steel was considered the leading enterprise in the domestic steel industry at that time. The latecomer Baosteel had just been established and could not surpass it so quickly.

But now they have been surpassed by Shougang in terms of technology, and Zhang Dongan immediately felt slapped in the face.

“Factory Zhang, Shougang’s previous investment in automotive steel plates was very small, and there has never been any particularly large investment in research and development.”

"This is actually the result of the Capital Iron and Steel Institute and the Capital Industrial Institute. I think the factory can strengthen its ties with these two universities in the future."

Wan Yingjie naturally knew why Zhang Dongning was so angry.

It would be acceptable if the newly established Baosteel surpasses Ansteel in automotive steel plates in the future.

After all, Baosteel's project was a cooperation with Japan Steel Corporation, and it introduced the other party's equipment and steelmaking technology.

But they felt ashamed when they were surpassed by Shougang.

"I don't care who Shougang is working with, they have already produced high-strength automotive steel plates."

"FAW also called us to ask when we can start supplying high-strength automotive steel plates."

"How do you think I should answer?"

If there are any technical problems, Wan Yingjie, the chief engineer, will definitely be blamed.

It's like this no matter which factory it is in.

"I will go to the capital on a business trip next week. I will communicate with Shougang first to see how they produce."

"Then I went to Capital Iron and Steel Institute and Capital Industrial College to talk to Professor Zou and Professor Zhu to see if they could cooperate with us."

Relying on the strength of the R&D team he leads, Wan Yingjie knows that Anshan Iron and Steel will not be able to produce qualified high-strength automotive steel plate products in a few years.

At this time, you naturally have to think about whether there is a shortcut.

"Arrange it as soon as possible, otherwise what will the ministry think of us?"
