Chapter 348 Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory

"To be honest, Director, you really need some help from the organization."

At the critical moment of the critical project, Chang Haonan will naturally not be polite.

"Manpower and funding are all necessary conditions, so I won't mention them additionally. In addition, the first step is to assign the research and development and production tasks of the die forging press to a company, and it must be a reliable and combat-effective company. On the one hand, it is easier for enterprises to establish projects, and on the other hand, the equipment can be put into production quickly after completion."

That is, he dared to make demands in this way.

On the one hand, it is the trust of the Science and Technology Commission in him, and on the other hand, Chang Haonan is confident in his efficiency in using funds and promoting projects.

Sure enough, Huai Guomo just nodded, then took out his notebook and pen to record it.

After that, he raised his head and said:

"It's okay to be affiliated with a research institute or company, but Xiao Chang, I have to explain to you that our Science and Technology Commission does not have much technical strength for machine tool research and development, and they are all scattered under various groups. Most of them can only handle small things such as machine tool application and maintenance, and may not be too familiar with heavy equipment such as die forging presses."

"Among them, only the Ordnance Industry Corporation is relatively powerful. They have a Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory, which was one of the 156 key projects aided by the Soviet Union. Up to now, it has produced about 5000 units of various processing equipment. In the past, it also supplied I have exported a lot from friendly countries, so I have some basic knowledge..."

Chang Haonan didn't know much about the situation in Hubei Province. Before his rebirth, he vaguely remembered that Jiang Zhong occupied a pretty good market share in the fields of shipbuilding and wind power, so he naturally had no objections:

"As long as you have relevant production experience, it will be fine. As for research and development, it will definitely be led by me and my comrades from Qinghua University. After all, this die forging press is not starting from scratch. What we have to do is mainly to conquer the last few key technologies. problems, and further optimization of the overall design, the rest is mostly engineering.”

But Huai Guomo's expression did not become relaxed:

"Xiao Chang, don't be too optimistic. Since 93, due to changes in the market competition mechanism, Jiang Zhong has been losing money year after year. Now, the factory's situation is quite serious. You may want to ask the weapons industry for the specific situation. , but last year alone, they lost nearly million yuan, million yuan..."

"hiss……"

Hearing this situation, Chang Haonan also scratched his head.

The number of million is not a lot to say it is.

This is especially true for him who comes from the aviation industry.

After all, for the Ring Project mentioned just now, the advance payment for the first aircraft alone is US$3.5 million. Even if Factory 112 builds a J-8C fighter jet, the allocation price will be close to this amount.

But for a second-tier company, this number is really quite a lot.

毕竟据之前卢育英所说，包括611所和132厂在内的10家研究所和制造厂，总共也就给歼7F型号的开发筹集了4000多万人民币的经费。

Jiang Zhong lost half of his money in one year, which was really not a good sign.

In addition, as a large company that has had great years, the more important thing about this kind of loss is not the money.

Rather, it indicates that there is a problem within the factory.

The heavy-duty die forging press, a powerful and important tool in the country, must not make any mistakes during the production and subsequent manufacturing processes.

So it’s definitely not just a matter of finding a factory of sufficient scale and throwing it over.

The most direct way to prevent China's overall planning department for machinery manufacturing from being dismantled is to prove that "machinery manufacturing is a sunset industry" is a false proposition.

Although there are some external factors involved in the abolition of the Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, if the industrial manufacturing industry could achieve trillions of revenue every year as it was more than two decades later, such an idea would not exist at all.

However, this hole is too big. Even if Chang Haonan cheats, it will be impossible to fill it in a short time.

You know, before he was reborn, in the first quarter of 1996, all state-owned industrial enterprises were in a state of net losses after their profits and losses were offset.

Simply improving the efficiency of a few factories and enterprises cannot reverse this trend.

So he could only settle for the next best thing and prove that "high-end machinery manufacturing is not a sunset industry."

Considering the limited time, this heavy-duty die forging press was basically the only turning point.

After thinking for a moment, Chang Haonan spoke again:

"Director Huai, I think I need to know more about Jiang Zhong's current situation in more detail."

"That's easy to say. I'll ask the Ordnance Industry Corporation to submit a report as soon as possible. It shouldn't take a few days."

This kind of request was nothing to Huai Guomo, so he agreed immediately.

But Chang Haonan shook his head:

"No, although I can grasp some basic information about Jiang Zhong by reading the report, it is still not intuitive enough."

"I was wondering if I could go to Jiangcheng in person to see the specific conditions inside the factory."

No investigation, no right to speak.

This is a famous statement made by a great man.

The most direct way to investigate is to see it with your own eyes.

In fact, considering Jiang Zhong's current situation, Chang Haonan knew without asking that everyone from Jiangcheng City to Hubei Province, to the Ordnance Corporation and even the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense had definitely been there to see it.

However, the goals of the leaders of these departments are too big, and almost every move is under the spotlight. I am afraid that the factory will know in advance as soon as the schedule is arranged.

In addition, people with scientific research or administrative backgrounds often lack the concept of industrial production, and the other party is well prepared, so it is even more difficult for them to understand the real situation.

So after much deliberation, Chang Haonan himself was the most suitable candidate.

Faced with this request, Huai Guomo hesitated.

It's not that he was afraid that Chang Haonan would see something.

The main reason is that he is too young and inexperienced.

Huai Guomo himself has a technical background and understands the difference between a laboratory and a factory very well.

Although Chang Haonan has spent a long time on the front line of production and scientific research in various factories before, the aviation industry system is his hometown after all. He can be related to Du Yishan in any number of management positions, and he also has a very strong military background. , the situation is relatively simple.

Although Jiang Zhong was included under the Ordnance Industry Corporation, it was still in a transitional stage, and its overall operations were still relatively independent, closer to the traditional appearance of an ordinary local state-owned enterprise.

Nowadays, we are facing the impact of large-scale corporate restructuring and layoffs. People's mentality has changed, the good and the good are mixed, and the situation is quite complicated.

Not to mention a young man in his 20s with a technical background, even some veterans who have worked their way up from the grassroots are relatively helpless when facing this kind of situation.

Prior to this, leaders at all levels had visited Jiangdong for inspection or on-site work no less than 30 times, but they still failed to fundamentally solve the problem.

Furthermore, being fooled is a trivial matter, but being tricked is a big problem.

At present, within the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Chang Haonan has been designated as one of the most critical personnel for the development of national defense technology, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes.

"On this point, I need to report to Director Ding before I can make a decision."
