Chapter 131 The polyester device is not so delicate
Zheng Linong looked at Gao Fan with obviously more appreciation.
I really saw the right person with my eyes. This half-grown child is a great talent.
Just as Gao Fan guessed, Zheng Linong came to Shuinan this time for the maintenance of equipment at Huanglan Chemical Plant.
Huanglan Chemical Plant needs to keep a Japanese engineer stationed in the factory, and it will cost more than 10 million yen in labor costs alone for a year. Huanglan Chemical must report this matter to the Chemical Industry Department and apply for the relevant expense quota. As for Shuinan Chemical Industry
The Department of Chemical Industry must also report to the Ministry of Chemical Industry, because the amount is not small. Even if the Department of Chemical Industry can get it, it must report it to the higher-level department.
More than 10 million yen, equivalent to 100,000 yuan, is still acceptable compared to the nearly 600 million yuan investment in Huanglan Chemical Plant. The Shuinan Provincial Department of Chemical Industry used some spring and autumn techniques to disguise the money as normal.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with maintenance expenses.
But Zheng Linong was an experienced person, and he had been thinking about the problem of introducing polyester equipment. From the report of the Shuinan Chemical Industry Department, he immediately saw the problem, so he took advantage of this opportunity to go to the south and made a special trip there.
Huanghua, understand the truth.
The answers given by Cao Yangcheng and Chai Huanhua did not satisfy Zheng Linong. However, he could understand the concerns of the grassroots and did not give Cao, Chai and others a negative evaluation because of this.
In Zheng Linong's view, the main problem of these two people is their lack of responsibility. At the same time, they are too superstitious about foreign technology and lack the courage to challenge. This is not uncommon among grassroots cadres.
As time goes by, the creed of many cadres is not to seek merit, but to seek no faults. The country has entrusted such a large factory to you, and you can ensure safe production, which is your greatest contribution to the country. If you have to make any innovations, just in case
If something goes wrong with imported equipment, even if the country doesn't hold you accountable, won't your colleagues and competitors use this as a reason to blackmail you?
Hiring a Japanese engineer here only costs 100,000 yuan a year, which is not a lot of money. Just think of spending money to buy peace.
In Japan, when engineers are on site, if something happens to the equipment, even if it delays production for a week or two and causes millions of losses, the factory will have a reason to blame it.
Look, what can we do about things that even the Japanese can't handle?
Pan Yue proposed that people from Shuinan Chemical Equipment Installation Company solve the problem of polymerization reactor maintenance, and Zheng Linong supported it. However, Chai Huanhua and the others still had concerns, and it was not appropriate for him to interfere forcefully. Secondly, Pan Yue was only a deputy director after all.
Zheng Linong still wanted to save some face for Cao Yangcheng and Chai Huanhua, so he suppressed the matter.
He couldn't say anything at the meeting, but after the meeting, he still had to think about it.
After returning to the room after dinner, he discussed it with Wu Zhefu and came up with some ideas. Just as he was about to send Wu Zhefu back to rest, Zheng Linong suddenly thought of Gao Fan, and vaguely felt that this Gao Fan might be able to come up with some different ideas.
After thinking about it, Wu Zhefu called Gao Fan.
Gao Fan opened his mouth and said that Pan Yue's suggestion was correct and urgently needed. This conclusion was even more radical than the result of the discussion between Zheng Linong and Wu Zhefu, and it also made Zheng Linong feel bright.
"Are you saying that if you follow Director Pan's suggestion and ask people from Shuinan Hua'an Company to help dismantle the bends, it will promote the localization of our polyester equipment?" Zheng Linong concluded for Gao Fan.
Gao Fan said: "Actually, polyester equipment is not that delicate, or in other words, all chemical process equipment is not that delicate. Now that we have the basic principles, whichever pipe is thicker and which pipe is thinner is fine.
Perform theoretical calculations.
"The new ammonium-to-urine program proposed by our Canghai factory is a major modification based on the original program of the Ministry of Chemical Industry. But as long as it does not violate the basic principles, how much impact can this modification have?"
Wu Zhefu interjected: "I learned about Huanghua's polymerization kettle elbow from the comrades in their technical department when I was eating. There are some special features in the design. People who don't know how to do it will not be able to install it after taking it apart.
.There is a certain reason why Huanghua’s operators dare not dismantle it.”
Gao Fan said: "This is actually a Japanese trick. Good industrial design should be as simple as possible and reduce the difficulty of maintenance. How can there be any reason to design a pipe so that it cannot be removed?
"They do this for two reasons. First, Japanese people are very stubborn in nature. Once a design is proposed, they will not change it easily. Even if they think it will not work, they will not dare to change it casually."
"How is this possible?" Wu Zhefu said in surprise with his eyes wide open. "My impression of Japanese companies is exactly the opposite. I think they are very pursuing innovation, but we are more conservative."
Gao Fan said: "This is just an appearance. Japanese culture is very particular about hierarchical order. If a design is made by a senior designer, and this senior is promoted to a leader because of his good skills, then the designers below will not dare to easily
Negative.
"We sometimes import equipment from Japan and feel that some of the designs are purely illogical, and we think they have some special purpose. In fact, the traditional designs have not been updated."
"Xiao Wu, please ask some comrades in the technical department to find out about this matter after you return. If this is indeed the case, we must be bolder and bolder when digesting and absorbing Japanese technology in the future.
Question the design plans of Japanese companies." Zheng Linong said.
"Okay, Minister." Wu Zhefu nodded and took note, feeling a little bit sour in his heart. This little kid Gao Fan really deserves the admiration of the leader. What he said may have been performed by himself, and the leader actually
So I believed it.
"You just said there were two reasons, but now you only said one. What about the other one?" Zheng Linong asked.
Gao Fan said: "There is another reason. They deliberately use this complicated design to confuse us."
"Tell me, what does it mean to confuse us?"
"First of all, this cumbersome design can prevent companies such as Huanghua from repairing equipment themselves, thus enhancing the mystery of Japanese equipment and helping them to ask for high prices in future negotiations. Secondly, we cannot see
If their design ideas are revealed, it will be difficult to imitate them, which will block our path to catch up." Gao Fan said eloquently.
These things were originally told by some seniors in later generations. The seniors worked hard to decipher the secrets of imported equipment. Sometimes, after understanding the principle of the equipment, he realized that many of the designs in the equipment were different. It's a pretense. It's unclear whether it's to defraud money or to confuse the imitators.
"So, according to what you said, Director Pan must have seen through the Japanese tricks, so he dared to boldly propose a plan to modify the bent pipe?" Zheng Linong asked.
