Zhang Zhenzhong was very interested in hearing that Dongxing Group wanted to launch a 50,000-ton large die forging press. Many large forgings on the McDonnell-82 needed large presses to complete, so he took two days to fly to Bincheng with Lin Johnson.

There is a large area of ​​tall factory buildings in the northwest suburbs of Bincheng. It already belongs to the new industrial zone. It was still a fertile land two years ago, and the market later allocated this piece of land to Dongxing Group.

Dongxing Industrial Company was founded, tall factories were built, and large industrial equipment continued to gather here. The factories here were different from the thin factories in the Industrial New District, and they looked particularly thick and solid. The workers here were also different from the people in the New District. Most of them were middle-aged old industrial workers.

This is Dongxing's heavy industrial base. Senior Chen Hong, a famous mechanical engineering expert, was hired as the project chief engineer. He also worked with many retirees from the Third Machinery Department and his old friends and disciples.

In recent years, they have absorbed advanced foreign technology, designed and manufactured Dongxing's own large hot-dip galvanized unit, and designed ultra-thin hot and hot strip steel continuous rolling mill, steel plate (chemical + physical) combined pre-cleaning equipment, galvanized plate light finishing machine, and pulling machine.

Now Dongxing Industrial Company has established a large-scale hot-dip galvanized unit, with the thickness of the plate reaching 0.3~2.0mm and the width is 800~1850mm, and it has the ability to produce 350,000 tons of galvanized plate rolls annually.

Due to its wide application, the use of galvanized sheets in the construction industry and home appliances is also very high, including road guardrails, pipelines, light box advertising, house and factory building, etc. Home appliances are mainly used in air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, computer cases, microwave ovens, electric kettles, etc. People's lives are almost inseparable from galvanized sheets.

In addition, the company's products also include cold-rolled low-carbon aluminum calming steel, which is the substrate of electroplated tin plates. Tin plates are commonly known as tinplate. They are an important packaging material. Food, beverage, chemical, oil and other applications are widely used. Tin plates produced by ultra-low-carbon soft aluminum calming steel are used to replace aluminum plates to make pressure beverage cans, saving aluminum resources, and the thickness of the can wall has reached 0.07mm.

Ultra-low carbon if steel, also known as ultra-low carbon steel, has extremely excellent deep-drawing performance and timelessness. Advanced steel mills in the world attach importance to the development of ultra-low carbon steel.

The automobile industry under Dongxing Group is its pillar, and Lin Johnson is also working hard to track the development trends of the world's automobile industry. In order to adapt to the needs of automobile weight loss, reduce material consumption and save fuel, the requirements for the strength of automobile steel plates will become higher and higher, and Dongxing has also invested a lot in steel materials.

Steel plants such as Nippon Steel, JFE, Thyssenkrupp have mature experience in the chemical composition of steel, inclusion content and control of each process. To obtain these technologies, extremely high tuition fees are required!

In addition, the company's Beiman Special Steel also produces CQ~DDQ grade steel grade, eddq and color DDQ grade (i.e. if steel), carbon junction steel, baked hardened steel, ultra-low carbon phosphorus-containing steel, and duplex high-strength steel.

Now Dongxing's automobile companies are still the largest users of galvanized plates. In the past five years, these steel types could only rely on imports, and now they have basically met the needs. However, the production capacity of various steel types must be expanded to meet the development needs of the domestic expanding automobile, construction, electrical and other industries!

Lin Qiangsheng met with Chief Engineer Chen Hong, who was in charge of construction in the workshop at Zhang Zhenzhong. After shaking hands between the two parties, Chen Hong asked with a smile: "Comrade Xiaolin, where are you from?"

The old man is 80 years old and has long been retired. After the reform and opening up, he still cannot let go of the development of the motherland's heavy industrial equipment. He has many opinions on the country's large-scale introduction of foreign equipment and has written letters to the senior central officials one after another. Unfortunately, no one from above listened to him.

Since being hired by Lin Johnson, the old man has a chance to take revenge. Dongxing Group is about to launch a number of heavy equipment, which greatly satisfy Mr. Shen's wish.

Lin Johnson introduced to Chen Hong: "Old Shen, this is the person in charge of China sent by McDonald's company, Mr. Zhang Zhenzhong, who presided over the McDonald's 82 final assembly project in Shangfei!"

"Oh, welcome, Mr. Zhang! The McDonald 82 aircraft will be installed in my country. I heard that I have a question. Will McDonald company produce parts in China in the future?" The scene was very noisy, and Senior Chen Hong's question was also loud.

Zhang Zhenzhong saw workers not far away welding the foundation, sparks flew everywhere. He admired Chen Hong very much. He was so old that he came to the scene to command.

Nodding, Zhang Zhenzhong said: "In the future, the parts of McDonald-82 will be gradually taken to China for production. Now, China has signed a compensation trade agreement for landing gear doors and other parts with us. I believe that Chinese companies will be able to get closer and deeper into the production process of McDonald-82!"

Chen Hong nodded with a smile and said a few good things in a row. He took Lin Johnson and Zhang Zhenzhong to visit the materials and components of the 50,000-ton single-cylinder die forging hydraulic press.

Zhang Zhenzhong looked at these large forgings and said in surprise: "I heard that some parts need to be forged with 50,000 tons of die forging presses, while those made with 30,000 tons of presses must be forged on 16,000 tons of machines. Is this a progressive relationship?"

Although he was 80 years old, Mr. Shen was not deaf and his eyes were not blurred. He and Zhang Zhenzhong said: "Theory is this, but there is a lack of large forging presses in China, so we had to change our thinking and use the method of ants to chew elephants, and forge these components bit by bit with a 15,000-ton hydraulic press."

Zhang Zhenzhong asked in confusion: "But will this not change the original structural stress? It increases the complexity of the mechanism and lacks reliability guarantee?"

Chen Hong shook his head gently and said with a smile: "There are always ways to overcome difficulties. There are many people and great power. With the help of supercomputers, we have re-produced structural stress analysis and reliability argumentation to strive to make this big guy stand up!"

Lin Johnson also said: "After this 50,000-ton die forging press is completed, the next project is the design and manufacturing of the 80,000-ton double-cylinder die forging press!

We have sufficient funds. I believe that with this equipment, the next large die forging press will be easier. The structure will be greatly improved and the organization will be simplified. This guy in front of me will be laid off and rebuilt!"

"Uh, it's so surprising!" Zhang Zhenzhong was extremely shocked. Seeing Lin Johnson's confidence, Dongxing Group actually had such strong financial strength.

He had previously thought how courageous a young Chinese could have, but he didn't expect that the actual situation was far beyond his imagination. In order to build an 80,000-ton press, he first built a 50,000-ton press and then dismantled it.

Senior Chen Hong kept sighing: "Our country's heavy equipment development is now backward, and it is actually a problem of money. With enough funds, it is not difficult for a big country like ours to build such heavy equipment."

Lin Johnson also nodded repeatedly. Why did China launch large-scale equipment one after another in the 21st century? It is not difficult for China to have enough funds as long as it has sufficient funds.

During the subsequent visit, Zhang Zhenzhong saw many foreign technicians. After inquiring about it, he found out that these people were engineers and technicians from powerful European and American countries, and several of them were from large American technology groups such as General Electric and Westinghouse Electric.

In addition, he also found that the hydraulic system technical solution was actually composed of a group of technicians from Japan. The Dongxing employees who followed them were humbly learning. The spirit of these people's hard work and specializing in designing solutions left a deep impression on Zhang Zhenzhong.

Farewell to Senior Chen Hong, Lin Johnson took Zhang Zhenzhong to visit Dongxing's semiconductor factory and automobile engine factory.

Zhang Zhenzhong saw another scene. Dongxing's factory was like a replica of European and American companies. All the rules and regulations here were quite familiar to him, which surprised him very much.

Zhang Zhenzhong has already understood what Chinese companies look like since he came into contact with flying. In general, the factories are aging, backward equipment, low technical level of personnel, and backward management. What is particularly important is the lack of understanding of international advanced industrial standards. Even the leaders of the competent department feel that the Americans require extremely complex airworthiness certificates and ISO certifications. McDonald's company finally convinced the American aviation department, and some Chinese people are even unwilling to do it.

Lin Johnson saw his expression and said with a smile: "When Dongxing was just established, our factory was no different from other domestic companies. Later, I had the opportunity to go to the United States and established a long-term cooperative relationship with McKinsey Management Consulting Company. They helped me rebuild the company's organizational structure and management system. We also introduced a large number of European and American technicians, and adopted the one-to-one and one-to-one form in the workshop. I asked every employee to learn the skills of foreign masters. We established many night schools and training classes, invited foreign technicians to class, and have been persisting until now. It can be said that Dongxing is a world-class company, and our employees are also at the highest level in the industry!"

"You invited McKinsey and also carried out international standardized management?" Zhang Zhenzhong was very surprised when he heard Lin Johnson's introduction. This coincided with his approach.

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "Yes, although our main products are in the domestic market, we have always targeted international market standards, and of course we have to strictly require strict requirements."

Zhang Zhenzhong was overjoyed when visiting Dongxing's factory. If he cooperated with Dongxing Group, it would be a very simple thing. The workers are familiar with international production, which will reduce the training costs. (To be continued.)
