Chen Yonghua drove the brand-new Santana and walked in the factory area of ​​Fukang Engineering. When everyone saw the car, they all gave way to Chen Yonghua.

"This is Dr. Chen's car!"

"The brand new Santana must belong to Dr. Chen."

"I've only been here for a month, and I'm already getting a brand new Santana!"

"Nonsense, don't even look at who he is. He has a doctorate from a well-known university in Hong Kong. I heard he is better than a doctorate from Peking University and Tsinghua University!"

"This is Wenquxing coming to earth!"

For ordinary people, getting a bachelor's degree is already a glorious achievement. Being able to reach Chen Yonghua's level is really similar to Wenquxing's descending to earth.

After parking the car, Chen Yonghua walked into the office building. As he walked along, everyone greeted Chen Yonghua respectfully.

China has always respected knowledgeable people, and a doctorate title is enough for Chen Yonghua to receive giant panda-level treatment.

Chen Yonghua enjoyed the feeling of being held in high esteem. Thinking about the life he lived like a rat crossing the street when he was first released from prison, Chen Yonghua suddenly felt that the dignity he had lost was back!

Chen Yonghua walked into the laboratory. The dozen or so college students had already arrived. When Chen Yonghua came in, everyone stood up in unison.

"Teacher Chen!"

"Teacher Chen! Morning!"

Ordinary people probably don't know the value of a PhD in mechanical engineering from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. They only know that a PhD is very powerful.

But these highly educated college students know very well what a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Hong Kong Polytechnic University means.

For these college students, the professors they had when they were in college were not as professional as Chen Yonghua.

In terms of academics, domestic universities are still far inferior to the advanced level in the world. Universities at the level of Qingbei are slightly better. None of the professors from ordinary universities can compete internationally.

In China, these college students are also the pride of heaven. No matter where they go to work, they always carry an arrogance that refuses to be accepted by anyone.

However, in the R&D department of Fukang Engineering, no college student can be arrogant. With Chen Yonghua in charge here, even if their mentor comes, they have to lie down in the cross-legged posture.

Chen Yonghua smiled and nodded to everyone, and then walked to his office.

When he came to the office door, he saw someone already sitting inside. Chen Yonghua was slightly startled, wondering who was looking for him so early in the morning. When he took a closer look, it was Li Weidong.

Chen Yonghua walked into the room and asked: "Chairman, do you have a problem with me?"

Li Weidong nodded: "Previously, the technology department mainly had two research and development projects, one was a road roller, and the other was a forklift. The on-site road roller has been made, so I came to see you to discuss the development of forklifts."

"I have read the information provided by the technical department before. Their research and development progress on forklifts is worse than that of road rollers!" Chen Yonghua couldn't help but complain.

Li Weidong sighed helplessly: "I used to think that the technical department was lacking in capabilities, but since you came, I feel more and more that the people in the technical department are just a bunch of losers!"

This sentence was a compliment to Chen Yonghua, and Chen Yonghua suddenly felt happy.

Then Chen Yonghua continued: "From the information I saw before, our research and development direction is small forklifts within three tons? Why not make forklifts with larger loads, such as forklifts within eight tons, which should be the type with the greatest demand in the market now.

"

"There are two main reasons for not making a large forklift. One is because our research and development capabilities were insufficient at the time, and I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to build an eight-ton large forklift. The second is the market reason..."

Li Weidong paused and then said: "For eight-ton forklifts, the domestic market competition is still very fierce. Several old-name construction machinery companies such as JAC, Zoomlion, and XCMG all produce forklifts. In addition, there are

Several companies that specialize in forklifts, such as Lonking and Heli, also have very good technologies.

Compared with these companies with mature foundations, if our products have no advantages, if we enter this market rashly, we will be strangled by our peers, so I decided to find another way and start with small forklifts below three tons.

Another point is that I have invested in a wholesale mall, which will have warehousing, logistics and other supporting facilities in the future. I hope that this small forklift can be used as a warehousing forklift. I plan to open up the market from warehousing forklifts."

"What kind of goods does the wholesale market mainly wholesale?" Chen Yonghua asked.

"The first stage is a textile wholesale mall, which sells clothes, sheets, towels and the like. Later, it will develop into leather, shoes, hats, and bags. My plan is to form a small commodity wholesale mall." Li Weidong answered.

Chen Yonghua thought for a while and said: "Textiles and small commodities are not very heavy. If it is just a general storage forklift, a load of 1.5 tons should be enough.

Powered by an internal combustion engine, it is not difficult to develop a load of 1.5 tons! And using a smaller load can also reduce noise, save fuel, and increase stability.

However, if you really want to use forklifts as a direction for future product development, it is still recommended that a load hydraulic sensing system should be developed.

With the load hydraulic sensing system, it can be used in the future for medium-sized forklifts within eight tons, and even heavy-duty forklifts over thirty tons."

"The load hydraulic sensing system is high-tech!" Li Weidong said.

"Actually, it can't be said to be high-tech. In terms of technology, the technology of the load hydraulic sensing system has actually matured. Japanese construction machinery companies have also used this system in new construction machinery."

Chen Yonghua opened his mouth and replied.

Li Weidong still knows something about the load hydraulic sensing system. This technology is widely used in the field of construction machinery. Basically, wherever hydraulic pressure is used, the load hydraulic sensing system will be used.

In later generations, load hydraulic pressure sensing can only be regarded as a standard technology for construction machinery manufacturers, and even many lesser-known small assembly plants have this technology.

However, in China in 1996, the load hydraulic sensing system was still considered a high technology.

It was only after the 1990s that China began to study load hydraulic sensing systems. There were papers on load hydraulic sensing systems. It was also in the mid-1990s that they began to appear on a large scale in relevant domestic journals. Among them are

Both theoretical and applied aspects.

If you are an international-level scholar, you will definitely wonder if you have traveled back in time more than ten years ago when you see a paper on the load hydraulic sensing system in China at that time.

Because this load hydraulic sensing system technology has long been used in products by Japanese construction machinery companies, such as the famous Komatsu Manufacturing, which is a company that widely uses load hydraulic sensing systems.

Foreign companies have sold tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of products of a kind of technology, but Chinese universities are still discussing the principles of this technology and how to apply it. This also highlights that in the field of construction machinery, China

It is really far behind the world.

Li Weidong knew that Chen Yonghua's suggestion was correct. If he wanted to make products in a down-to-earth manner, he should develop the technology of load hydraulic sensing system.

Once developed successfully, this system can not only be used in the hydraulic system of forklifts, but also in the hydraulic systems of excavators and loaders.

The research and development of new technologies has always been a gold-swallowing beast. Given the domestic technical conditions at the time, technologies such as load hydraulic sensing systems may not be possible even with hundreds of millions of R&D expenses.

If someone else proposed to develop a load hydraulic sensing system, Li Weidong would really be reluctant to pay for it. But when Chen Yonghua proposed to develop a load hydraulic sensing system, Li Weidong would have to seriously consider it.

After pondering for a moment, Li Weidong asked: "Teacher Chen, given our current conditions, how much funding do you estimate will be needed to develop a load hydraulic sensing system?"

"It's really hard to say. For things like research and development, the more funds, the better." Chen Yonghua thought for a while and then said, "But if we want to achieve preliminary results, RMB 5 million in scientific research funding is enough."

"How much do you deserve the preliminary results?" Li Weidong asked again.

"Aren't you going to build a storage forklift? With RMB 5 million in scientific research funding, a 1.5-ton forklift should be able to use a load hydraulic sensing system. If you want to increase the load, you need to increase research and development efforts." Chen Yonghua

He opened his mouth and answered.

"It seems that if you want to fully master the load hydraulic sensing system, you will have to invest a lot in research and development!" Li Weidong said.

"It's okay! After all, the load hydraulic pressure sensing system is an existing technology. If we do research and development, we have a lot of information for reference. If it is a new technology, the investment in research and development will be really high."

Chen Yonghua continued: "However, in the field of construction machinery, for core technologies like this, the rate of return on research and development is still very high. As long as the technology is developed, it will not be eliminated for 20 to 30 years."

"It makes sense! This money really can't be saved!" Li Weidong nodded.

The technology and service life of construction machinery are relatively strong. For example, this load hydraulic sensing system, at least in the era before Li Weidong was reborn, many companies regarded it as a product selling point.

If a technology can be used for more than thirty years, it is worthwhile to spend some money on research and development, not to mention that Li Weidong is not asked to shell out tens of millions at once.

There is a saying that there is no pain in the head if you cut the flesh. Li Weidong thinks it is a good deal to spend millions a year on this load hydraulic sensing system technology.

…

When it was time to pay wages again, Ding Youliang looked at the pay slip handed over by the finance department and felt his scalp numb.

Those workers in the tractor factory cost too much money!

The tractor factory has 1,500 employees and consumes nearly one million in wages a month. This is also a very heavy burden for the heavy machinery factory.

The key is that most of these 1,500 people can't create much output value, and they basically just hang around and collect wages.

You can’t expect a group of basketball players, bel canto singers and movie theater people to bring profits to the company!

What makes Ding Youliang even more depressed is that those who play basketball, sing bel canto, and show movies often have the title of "director" and their wages are higher than ordinary workers, which also increases the cost of wages.

Ding Youliang is determined to make reforms and merge the tractor factory's business into the heavy machinery factory. The personnel must also be split and streamlined, and all personnel must be disrupted and re-adjusted. He hopes that through personnel optimization, he can slowly digest the tractor factory's business.

Thousands and five hundred employees.

But his previous promise of "remaining at the same position" made it difficult to advance his reform plan.

For example, many of those who play basketball and sing bel canto are middle- and lower-level cadres. According to their original positions, they must be given the position of middle- and lower-level cadres. But there is no shortage of cadres who play basketball and sing bel canto in any workshop!

Administrative and logistical departments, such as finance, human resources, technology, etc., also need professionals. It would be wrong to ask a basketball player to read the account books or a bel canto singer to draw drawings.

When there is a problem with the accounts or the drawings are wrong, the consequences will be more serious.

After careful consideration, Ding Youliang discovered that if the "original post and original position" were followed, there would be no place for these idle people, and they could only be allowed to do their original jobs. The so-called "position adjustment" and "personnel optimization" could not be done.

It no longer exists at all.

As a result, the heavy machinery factory could only carry the heavy burden of 1,500 people and move forward reluctantly.

Thanks to the booming development of domestic infrastructure, heavy machinery factories can still balance their income and expenses, but they are unable to cope with technological upgrading and business expansion.

After all, the tractor factory consumes 1 million in salary expenses a month, so how can there be money for technology upgrades and business expansion.

After signing his name on the document, Ding Youliang began to feel sorry for the one million, and at the same time he couldn't help but greet Li Weidong in his heart.

Ding Youliang felt that if Li Weidong hadn't set up the trap in the first place, he would not have taken over the mess of the tractor factory.

At this moment, the phone on Ding Youliang's desk suddenly rang.
