"Sir, I think you don't have a clear enough understanding of the current technological status of global agricultural machinery. At least you certainly don't understand the level of basic agricultural machinery parts in France." A middle-aged white man choked Qin Hai coldly.
Qin Hai smiled and asked: "What is your name, sir?"
"Hibbs, sales director of the French Tolfson Company." The other party replied arrogantly.
"Disrespectful." Qin Hai bowed slightly to Hibbs to show his courtesy. Qin Hai had actually heard of this Tolfson Company and knew that it was a well-known agricultural machinery manufacturer in France, especially
The basic parts such as the disc rake blade on the lawn mower are the best.
"May I ask, what is the current service life of the disc harrow blades produced by your company?" Qin Hai asked.
"No less than 100 hectares," Hibbs replied.
"We brought three disc harrow blades of different materials this time. One is of similar quality to your company's products and is also about 100 hectares; one can reach at least 300 hectares; and the other... I'm sorry, we still have
We haven't tested its usage limit..." Qin Hai said, with a smile on his face all the time, but what he said made Hibbs almost furious.
"Mr. Qin, I don't think your joke is very humorous. Everyone here is an industry insider. They will only find your clumsy joke boring." Hibbs said with a dark face. He was originally here.
As a spectator, he had neither a good impression nor a bad feeling towards the Chinese delegation. But this time, he felt a little angry towards the Chinese in front of him.
What Qin Hai wanted was this kind of feeling from the other party. If he didn't let the other party be strongly stimulated, how could he spread the fame of the products in his hands? He looked at Hibbs, pretended to be innocent, and shrugged.
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm telling the truth, Mr. Hibbs. Why do you think I'm joking?"
"No material can achieve a service life of 300 hectares. The wear resistance of metal determines that 300 hectares is an impossible goal. If you can use ceramics as rake blade materials, I can still believe it. However, rake blades
It needs to be sharpened, it's not a plowshare," Hibbs said.
Basic parts such as plowshares and rake blades are directly used for plowing. They require long-term friction with the soil during operation. The life of these basic parts mainly depends on the wear resistance of the material. In order to improve the wear resistance, some companies
There are already attempts to use ceramics as base material. This is not news.
The lawnmower rake blades produced by Tolfson Company have to undertake the two tasks of cutting grass and loosening soil at the same time. In order to be able to cut tough grass stems, the cutting edge of the rake blades must be as sharp as an ordinary knife. This is
The concept of "edging" mentioned by Hibbs. Because it involves cutting, this kind of rake blade cannot be made of ceramics. With the current ceramic technology, if the cutting edge is made very thin, it will basically be a knock.
That is broken.
In addition to this type of rake blade, other basic parts can barely be made of ceramics. For example, the rotary tiller blade produced by Qingfeng Factory is called a blade in name, but in fact the blade has a certain thickness, more like
A thin steel plate. If ceramic is used to make this kind of blade, the cutter head can ensure a certain strength.
Although Hibbs is in sales, he still knows the performance and technology of products very well. He rejected all possibilities in just a few words. Without these possibilities, Qin Hai's words can only be ignored.
Unfounded bragging.
Of course, Qin Hai knew that what Hibbs said was true. With the current technology of various countries in the world, it is indeed impossible to manufacture rake blades with a durability of more than 300 hectares. But the problem is that Qin Hai's own technology is already ahead of the world. Others
What he couldn't create, he could create. If there was no such thing, how could he dare to let Cui Hongchun bring a delegation to Brazil?
"Mr. Hibbs, there is an old saying in China, which is that hearing is believing and seeing is believing. How about our products? You can definitely test them. I heard that this expo has specially arranged a durability competition for basic parts.
I don’t know if there are any requirements for registration." Qin Hai said leisurely.
"Mr. Qin, does the Chinese delegation also plan to participate in this competition? In fact, the competition has already started. If you are interested, you can sign up at any time. Everything is free." People next to them said, this is called
It's not a big deal for those watching the fun. They don't care who Qin Hai or Hibbs will lose face. They just want to watch a free show.
It turns out that testing the durability of basic parts is very time-consuming, and the results of the competition are what everyone is paying attention to, so the organizing committee simply started the test in advance. All exhibitors arriving in Sao Paulo can prepare themselves to participate in the competition.
Samples of basic parts are sent to the organizing committee, where they will be tested as they arrive, and the results will be announced as soon as they are available.
Hearing that there was such a policy, Qin Hai stopped talking to everyone. He returned to his own people and informed everyone about the situation.
"So fast..." Everyone's first reaction was like this. Although they came here for the competition, everyone was still inexplicably nervous when they heard that samples could be sent for testing now.
"Xiao Qin, are you sure?" Cui Hongchun asked Qin Hai seriously, and everyone also turned their attention to Qin Hai.
There are more than a dozen domestic agricultural machinery companies participating in the exhibition this time, each producing different basic parts. For example, Qingfeng Factory produces traditional rotary tillage blades, while disc harrow blades are produced by Northern Agricultural Machinery Factory.
Although the manufacturers of basic parts are different, the material processing techniques are all produced by Qin Hai. The processing techniques used by each company include two, one is the high-frequency surfacing technology transferred by Qingfeng Factory, and the other is the high-frequency surfacing technology transferred by Qingfeng Factory.
Xiang Ze is a thermal spraying technology just developed by Li Linguang and Yue Kun. Due to the shortage of thermal spraying equipment, various companies only send some products to Qingfeng Factory, and Qingfeng Factory does the thermal spraying on their behalf. Thermal spraying must be promoted on a large scale.
The process will take some time.
Both surfacing technology and thermal spraying technology were developed by Qin Hai. How effective it is and whether it can remain invincible when competing with international giants are questions that only Qin Hai can answer.
"Didn't we already do testing before going abroad? Our craftsmanship can stand the test." Qin Hai looked at everyone's scorching eyes and felt helpless. They were all a group of respectable leaders.
It's really embarrassing to say that he, a 20-year-old young man, is the backbone.
"Okay, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Now that you're here, the ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. Everyone, prepare the samples you brought. Changsong, Xiaocheng, you will accompany Xiaoqin and put them together.
Send the samples to the organizing committee." Cui Hongchun gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Seeing the Chinese taking out test samples from various crude packaging boxes and piling them on small carts, the foreigners who were watching became agitated. From a common sense point of view, they did not believe the products that the Chinese came out with.
What is the value of testing, but the big words Qin Hai just released made them somewhat doubtful. Could it be that the Chinese have really developed some black technology and come up with something that can shock the world.
Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling also opened the box they brought, took out two items wrapped in linen and handed them to Qin Hai. Qin Hai laughed, pointed to the linen bag, and said to Xibu
Si said: "Mr. Hibbs, the product I'm talking about that has not been tested to its ultimate life span is right here. I will send it to the organizing committee soon. Are you interested in taking a look together?"
"Of course, I also really want to know what technology you have invented that can create products with unlimited lifespan." Hibbs responded with a somewhat sarcastic tone.
Qin Hai, Wang Changsong, and Cheng Feng pushed the cart toward the venue where the organizing committee was testing basic components. Representatives from foreign companies followed behind them, wanting to see what was going on. This
A strange little team immediately attracted the attention of others. When those people came forward to inquire, they found out that it was the Chinese who had made bold claims, claiming to be able to produce products that reached the technology of the 1990s. Everyone looked at it with seven points of contempt and three points of disdain.
They were so suspicious that those who had nothing to do temporarily also joined the queue to watch the excitement.
"These are the three disc rake blades we are preparing to participate in the competition." Qin Hai came to the test point and began to submit test samples to the staff. He handed over three different rake blades, and the last one was given to him by Liu Shuo.
It was taken out of the linen bag.
"This rake blade should be made of carbon steel as the base, and the cutting edge has been treated by a surfacing process." Hibbs stood aside and commented softly on the first rake blade Qin Hai took out.
"Mr. Hibbs is indeed an expert." Qin Hai said with a smile. The surfacing process is the most commonly used process for processing the cutting edge of basic parts. It is used by every company. The only difference lies in the surfacing material. Hibbs can
It’s not surprising to recognize this craft.
"This rake blade is also made of carbon steel, and the surface treatment... seems a bit strange..." Hibbs was already a little confused when he saw the second rake blade. This rake blade was Qin Hai's thermal spraying process.
After treatment, the surface of the blade is covered with a thin layer of titanium nitride particles, which feels slightly tingling to the touch. Since no traces of solder can be seen, Hibbs knows that this is definitely not surfacing.
Processed by technology.
"Haha, this is a new process we have developed. It is still confidential for now." Qin Hai smiled and handed the rake blade to the staff of the organizing committee.
"This...ss, it's actually made of ceramic!" When they saw the rake blade taken out of the linen bag, not only Hibbs, but everyone present's eyes widened. The rake blade was gray in color.
It has no metal texture at all, and you can tell it is ceramic at a glance. What everyone finds incredible is that it completely breaks the conclusion that ceramics cannot be sharpened. Its cutting edge looks as thin as a piece of paper, almost
Reaching the sharpness of the edge of a metal blade.
