Chapter 544 To break the blockade, we still need to use technology to make the decision

After the seminar, Chang Haonan specially stayed with Yan Yongnian.

"Mr. Chang."

The latter who was stopped alone suddenly had the feeling of dreaming back forty years ago, when he was in school and was asked by the teacher to answer questions, but he didn't know the time at all.

So he seemed a little restless.

Fortunately, Chang Haonan is not a real teacher, and he is not preparing to conduct a "class test".

Instead, after everyone else left, he went straight to the point:

"Professor Yan, you know a lot about the mechanical industry system. You have participated in the manufacturing technology research of the old forging press project before. Can you estimate which domestic companies will be involved in producing our die forging press? And research institutions?”

When Yan Yongnian heard that he was not asking about what he had just said, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded almost without thinking:

"no problem."

"Although many things are different now compared to when I did the research, during the years at Qinghua University, I have been paying attention to some units that were listed as key units in those years. I dare not say that they are too high, at least. The accuracy of 80 to 90% can still be guaranteed.”

Chang Haonan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the older generation of scientists in his heart.

In terms of ability and performance, they were limited by the conditions of the year. They may not be particularly dazzling, but their spirit and spirit are definitely nothing to say.

Even when the project team was disbanded and he himself was pushed out of his core position, he still persisted in his ideals and started doing many practical things.

not easy.

After calming down his excitement a little, Chang Haonan immediately asked:

"You know, soon, next month, this round of organizational adjustments will be deployed. The Science and Technology Commission cannot replicate the entire Ministry of Machinery Industry, so it can only focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones."

"So now I need to compile these units into a list. How long does it take to complete?"

Upon hearing this question, Yan Yongnian sat up straight on the floor:

"It doesn't take time. My research results and related information over the years are all kept at home. If you need them, I can go back and get them for you right away!"

At this moment, the last trace of concern in his heart had disappeared.

Since the Science and Technology Commission has prepared to this extent, it is obviously really preparing to inherit some of the powers of the Ministry of Machinery Industry.

Although it is bound to be weakened, as long as the fire can remain, there is always hope of starting a prairie fire again.

Chang Haonan was also overjoyed at this time.

What does it mean to have an elder in the family like a treasure?

He originally thought this matter would take ten days and a half.

It turns out that people have already prepared it...

"Well."

Chang Haonan immediately took out his mobile phone, called Zhu Yadan who was waiting in the lounge below, and then said to Yan Yongnian:

"You take my car and go back quickly. It's best to get it back before get off work."

……

In this era without surveillance video, Zhu Yadan gave full play to her skills.

Only an hour and a half later, Yan Yongnian returned to the office with a cowhide briefcase that was imprinted with the times.

"It's all here, Mr. Chang, take a look."

Chang Haonan solemnly took the briefcase with both hands and dug out several thick piles of materials.

Some of the oldest drafts even have the letterhead of the National Machinery Industry Committee written on them.

Yan Yongnian looked at Chang Haonan's eyes lingering on the yellowed papers, and then explained:

"Part of it is still Mr. Shen's manuscript. Later, after he retired from the Ministry of Machinery Industry, he gave it to me for preservation."

Chang Haonan immediately took a deep breath.

In awe.

A sense of mission that "three generations of inheritance is in your hands" arises spontaneously.

"What do the different colored marks in this information mean?"

Chang Haonan pointed to the red, blue and black logo in a black leather notebook and asked Yan Yongnian.

"Black means that the situation of this unit is no different from when I investigated it."

"Blue means that this unit has made relatively large progress in technology and can provide higher standard parts and components."

"Red means that this unit no longer exists and you need to find another supplier of the same type."

The latter's answer was very orderly. Obviously, as he just said, he has never stopped pursuing die forging presses over the years.

Chang Haonan nodded with satisfaction:

"Professor Yan, the design work of the forging press is now nearing completion. You have to prepare. After the Equipment Industry Department is officially established, you will go to Jiangcheng Heavy Machinery Factory to prepare for the specific production and manufacturing work."

Yan Yongnian's eyes suddenly lit up.

But he still seemed a little unsure, so he tentatively asked:

"You mean...I will be responsible for manufacturing this part?"

"Of course, you have project management experience and are familiar with relevant units of the mechanical industry system. You are the most suitable candidate to be directly responsible for equipment construction."

Chang Haonan said as he put the information back into his briefcase. He had just called Lan Xinzhi, who would come over to pick it up and give it to Ding Gaoheng in a while.

As for how much authority the Equipment Industry Department will ultimately be able to take away, that is currently beyond Chang Haonan's control.

All he can do is prepare.

Yan Yongnian, who received a positive answer, stood up and said:

"I promise the organization that the production and manufacturing of die forging presses will be completed with high quality and efficiency!"

The sudden statement startled Chang Haonan next to him, and he quickly stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling the other person to sit down:

"Don't be too happy yet. I promised you in advance that I have very strict schedule requirements, so the burden on your shoulders, Professor Yan, is not light."

"We, Mr. Yan, are just worried that our burden is light. Please give instructions, Mr. Chang!"

Not only did the vaccination not dampen Yan Yongnian's enthusiasm, but it made him even more excited, and he even took up the local accent.

"It is now March 98. We have the resources of the entire Equipment Industry Department and strive to at least achieve trial production of the die forging press within 3 months."

Chang Haonan told his timetable, and then continued:

"In order to ensure efficiency, on the premise that the core technology is independent, if there is no domestic supplier that meets the requirements for the time being, then parts and raw materials can be directly imported, and then gradually replaced with domestic products when they need to be replaced later."

Yan Yongnian, who had just looked like he had seen a ghost, finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"In this case, there is hope for 18 months...but if we use foreign suppliers, the cost may be much higher."

At this time, the wealthy Chang Haonan waved his hand directly:

"We are not short of money now, and as long as the equipment can be completed as soon as possible, even if we spend a little more money in the manufacturing stage, we can make it back quickly after it is put into production."

When Chang Haonan is in his current position, he has to consider more than just technical issues.

Especially for heavy-duty forging machines such as heavy-duty die forging presses, "making them" is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.

How to maximize the effectiveness of this equipment, which was developed with a huge investment in research and development, is a topic that requires continuous consideration.

This is one of the reasons why Chang Haonan has been promoting aviation technology cooperation with European countries during this period.

Because parts of large aircraft, especially structural parts, are the most important products of die forging presses.

Compared with tailor welding, forgings have absolute advantages in performance, cost and working hours.

In the last generation, a considerable part of the Airbus A380's body structural parts had to be produced by Russia's Verkhovsarda Titanium Plant.

Since it is unlikely that China will be able to produce super-large aircraft above 200 tons in a short period of time, it is obviously a very good choice to use this equipment to make money from Europeans and accumulate experience in the processing and manufacturing of large forgings.

Yan Yongnian, who was used to living a hard life, was immediately swayed by Chang Haonan's momentum, and nodded somewhat blankly.

After a while, he finally came to his senses:

"Also, Mr. Chang, I have another question."

"After all, the heavy-duty die forging press is a project with huge influence. So far, only Russia and France own hydraulic presses with more than 6 tons. Will foreign companies block us to delay our production plan?"

"Is there a blockade? Of course there will be one."

Chang Haonan stood up and showed a meaningful smile:

"However, since we have mastered the core technology after all, they should know that in this case, choosing to import is just a means to improve efficiency by taking advantage of the international division of labor, and the blockade cannot really stop us."

"On the other hand, the so-called foreign countries are not a whole. They also have their own interests."

"So the technological blockade...can be broken."

In fact, even a year ago, Chang Haonan would not have dared to say such words with such certainty.

Because he was not sure at the time how the Wassenaar Agreement was being implemented in the late 90s.

But throughout 1997, too many things happened.

From the cooperation between China and Europe at the beginning of the year to block Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas, to the performance of Europeans actively seeking to purchase TORCH Multiphysics software after it came to the numerical simulation world with a crushing attitude, to the Italians actively approaching Bingcheng Aircraft Industry Group for cooperation.

All these factors convinced Chang Haonan that imperialism was still a paper tiger.

They only block you when you don't have the technology.

Once you really have the skills, they will slide and kneel faster than the other...

Therefore, to break the blockade, it is not enough to rely on building relationships and doing public relations.

In the end, technology has to speak for itself!
