Shanxin Group's factories and equipment are quite good. Shanxin Group made up its mind to "factory upgrade" a few years ago and invested a lot of money, but unfortunately the results were not ideal.
In the group, Meng Xiaobai met Lu Yong, the current president of Shanxin Group, and Yu Wenbo, director of the Shanxin Group Steel Plant.
Lu Yong is forty-five years old and has dark skin. It is said that he was quite fair before. Because of the shutdown of African mines, he personally went to Africa for half a year. Unfortunately, he was unable to solve the problem and became tanned.
Yu Wenbo, on the other hand, is an old factory director who is nearly sixty years old and about to retire. He has worked at Shanxin Iron and Steel Factory for many years and has rich qualifications.
Yu Wenbo was very unhappy when Shanxin Group was acquired this time, but due to pressure, he could only choose to compromise.
"Mr. Meng, nice to meet you." Lu Yong stepped forward and shook hands with Meng Xiaobai warmly. From the bottom of his heart, he was quite grateful to Meng Xiaobai.
Without Deep Space Technology, Shanxin Group could only survive for one year, and would still go bankrupt by then.
Yu Wenbo on the side just said hello lightly. He was not very interested in deep space technology in the first place. Seeing that Meng Xiaobai was so young, he was even more unconcerned.
"Mr. Lu," Meng Xiaobai said, "When our equity handover is completed, Shanxin Metal Group will become a part of the deep space technology family. From now on, we need to communicate more with each other."
"That's for sure!" Lu Yong said.
"I came here this time, firstly, to visit the factory, and secondly, I brought our expert technical team to see if there is anything that can be improved in the factory." Meng Xiaobai directly explained the purpose of his visit, and Lu Yong said: "
That's a good relationship, I'll take you to visit our factory."
The main industries of Shanxin Metal Group are Shanxin Steel Plant and Shanxin Aluminum Plant, among which the steel plant is larger in scale.
They went directly to Shanxin Iron and Steel Plant. The steel plant was still producing at this time, and the products they produced were all ordinary steel.
Lu Yong was a little sad and said: "To tell you the truth, our steel plant is losing money every day of production. But we cannot stop production. If we stop production, we will only lose more."
"The international steel market has been bad, and this steel plant has almost become useless."
Yu Wenbo disagreed with his statement. He said: "The main reason is that the capital chain was broken, which led to the suspension of new technology research and development. In fact, if we persist for another year or two, we can definitely improve the production process."
Meng Xiaobai and Jin Mu carefully visited the production line. Jin Mu said: "It is too backward. From material design to smelting and rolling, it is too far behind. It is impossible to produce high-quality special steel."
Jin Mu's words angered Yu Wenbo, who retorted: "How many times have you seen it before you think our technology is not good?"
"Let me tell you, our steel is the best in the world in terms of material design and smelting. It is also one of the best in China. Among the special steels, we can also manufacture some of them independently."
"But if you can't maintain stable mass production quality, what's the difference between using this kind of technology and trying your luck?" Jin Mu choked Yu Wenbo to death with one sentence, and Yu Wenbo couldn't help but blush.
In the manufacturing and production of special steel, there are not only higher requirements for the quality of steel, but also extremely high requirements for the stability of steel materials.
If the quality of the special steel produced in the same batch is unstable, it will inevitably produce a large amount of scrap steel, causing the production cost to skyrocket.
In Jinmu's view, being unable to produce special steel effectively and stably is the same as not mastering this technology.
Seeing the dispute between the two, Lu Yong said quickly: "The old factory director is indeed very careful in this regard, but our production equipment and technology cannot keep up, so we are still a little behind in the special steel."
Meng Xiaobai smiled and said: "No need to argue. Mr. Lu, you should know that now our Blue Star Motors is in great need of several special steel materials needed for cars, including car plates, steel columns, etc."
"Director Zhuang has mentioned it to me before." Lu Yong nodded, "We can also produce steel for cars. But it's a bit embarrassing, and it still can't meet your quality requirements."
"Leave this to Jinmu." Meng Xiaobai ordered, "Mr. Lu, and the old factory director of Yuwenbo, I hope you can fully cooperate with Dr. Jinmu to upgrade the material design and production process in all aspects.
.”
"Funds, equipment, and deep space technology will provide help and support."
"That's great!" Lu Yong said, "Mr. Meng, don't worry, I will fully cooperate."
Yu Wenbo didn't express his position. He didn't really agree with it. In his opinion, Jin Mu's attitude was too crazy. Although he was old and heard to be an important personnel in deep space technology, he couldn't just say improvements were made.
Material design is the secret of the international steel giants. The knowledge in metal smelting is huge!
After Meng Xiaobai left, Yu Wenbo immediately came to Lu Yong and said angrily: "Mr. Lu, how do you cooperate with us? That Dr. Jinmu asked me to knock down all the current production lines. This is what we spent.
It was built with hundreds of millions of dollars! If he said he didn’t want it, he wouldn’t want it! Is this an upgrade, or is it destroying the factory?”
Lu Yong frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand this approach, but he still comforted him: "Old factory director, calm down and drink some water."
"I have been learning about the strength of deep space technology recently. They have achieved leading international technological status in many fields. Maybe they really have a way?"
"But we can't go through such trouble?" Yu Wenbo said dissatisfied, "He had no intention of discussing it with us, he just asked us to do it."
In terms of technology upgrades, Jinmu directly ignored them, which made veteran technicians like Yuwenbo deeply resentful and felt that they had been underestimated.
"Old factory director!" Lu Yong calmly drank a cup of tea and said: "Now let alone Shanxin Steel Factory, even our Shanxin Group is owned by Deep Space Technology. They can do whatever they want, but what about you and me?
,The most important thing now is to do your own thing well."
"Old factory director, if you are worried, go to the factory and take a look. I still have a lot of troubles here, and things in Africa are getting more and more troublesome as they drag on."
"Okay..." Seeing that he didn't support him, Yu Wenbo said, "Then I'll let them do whatever they want. I'm going to retire anyway, so I'll see what you can do to this factory!"

Island country, Tokyo, inside a building.
This is one of Mitsui & Co's industries. Today is the second Thursday of this month. According to the Mitsui Foundation's practice, they will hold the "Two Wood Party" here.
The so-called Futuki-kai refers to the general managers of Futuki-kai members under the name of the Mitsui Foundation. On the Thursday of the second week of every month, they gather together for a meeting to discuss the company's development strategy.
Each of the Futuki-kai member companies is world-famous, such as Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Toyota Motor, Toshiba, Niijima Steel, etc.
In the recent Ermu Conference, one name has appeared more and more frequently, and that is "deep space technology."
"Just last Wednesday, Deep Space Technology announced that it had fully acquired Shanxin Metal Group and officially entered the metal industry." said the president of Niijima Steel Company.
"This is a decision they made when we have been raising prices. They are trying to get rid of their dependence on our metal materials."
"How is Shanxin Metal Group?" someone asked.
"A company with extremely backward production technology has no threat." said the president of Niijima Steel Company. "I think Deep Space Technology has been forced by our restrictions, so it was forced to buy Shanxin Group."
"Don't underestimate them! This is how the Soni Group collapsed!" someone said seriously.
Although Soni Group still has a huge size, they know in their hearts that after being hit hard by Deep Space Technology in the semiconductor business and electronic game business, Soni Group can only go from glory to decline.
"I have already contacted Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanwa, and Mitsubishi. At this critical moment, our major consortiums must unite to completely drive deep space technology out of the industrial field!"
"At this juncture, even if you lose a certain amount of profits, it is still worth it!"
…
SoftBank Group, Sun Yi is in a good mood recently.
"Deep Space Technology has encountered the consortium again. This Meng Xiaobai is really a 'strong man' and won't stop for a moment!" Nao Miyai said with emotion, "During this period, because Deep Space Technology has restrained the consortium's firepower,
Our development is going very smoothly.”
"President, we also have investments in the steel industry, would you like some help?" Nao Miyai has now realized the benefits of having Meng Xiaobai become a director of SoftBank.
"No!" Sun Yi looked at him with an extremely cautious tone, "Miyai, you have to be clear that deep space technology, or this Meng Xiaobai, is beyond our control. You have also seen the island country's smartphone market and game market.
, as long as you give him a chance, he can overturn the entire market."
"In their struggle, we just need to develop ourselves."
"As for whether Meng Xiaobai can break through their blockade again, it depends on his ability."

Steel City, Shanxin Iron and Steel Manufacturing Plant.
The factory is undergoing a major upgrade. Not only the equipment, but also the technical workers must be taken to training classes and trained. Only those who pass the assessment can continue to work.
Some people are happy and some are dissatisfied. But this cannot stop the actions of deep space technology. In just one month, the Shanxin Steel Manufacturing Plant has been basically upgraded.
"Is this thing really useful?" A group of technicians are studying the new equipment in the factory, a combined continuous casting steel production line modified from the Deep Space Technology Mechanical Technology Research Institute.
This production line includes multiple modified and newly manufactured production equipment, such as ultra-high temperature arc smelting furnaces, forging presses, vacuum metallurgical equipment, etc.
This series of new equipment constitutes the latest steel production line. It is said that this production line can even produce special steel that meets the requirements of aircraft carriers!
