Jokes about five-axis linkage CNC machine tools have been circulating on the domestic Internet for many years.
Beginning in the 1980s, Japan's Toshiba sent senior employees to Moscow in order to expand the Soviet market.
Mao Xiong has always had the habit of introducing foreign technology, and it needs advanced machine tools to manufacture large marine propellers.
Of course, this equipment is controlled by the "Batum" agreement and is prohibited from being exported to the red regime.
But in order to make money, capitalists will really sell the rope to hang themselves.
Both Mao Xiong and Toshiba had needs, and they hit it off almost immediately. The deal was concluded in 1983, reported in 1985, and investigated clearly in 1987.
Yingjiang was so outraged that it shocked the world.
In this case, the only unlucky ones are a few scapegoats from Toshiba.
Although Mao Xiong is under stricter supervision, the machine tools have already arrived, and their nuclear submarines and large warships have greatly reduced underwater noise.
As for the West represented by Yingjiang, one or two pieces of cutting-edge equipment cannot shake their absolute advantages in economy and military power. In fact, Mao Xiong is not far from death.
Throughout the whole incident, Rabbit was just a spectator, and he was envious of the equipment that Bear got. But looking at his shriveled wallet, he didn't even think of smuggling it secretly.
You have to pay for smuggling, and you have to pay twice or even several times more. If such a risky thing is exposed, you will lose your head. If you don’t have money, who will care about you?
Zhou Qingfeng engaged in foreign exchange for home appliances, but everyone in China turned a blind eye. But when he bought CNC machine tools, he immediately touched the sensitive nerves of certain departments.
Ordinary CNC three-axis machine tools are good for the current domestic market, but they are not yet in high demand.
You can still buy this product with a little foreign exchange, but it’s a bit expensive and not cost-effective. But Zhou Qingfeng’s approach is very novel and deserves attention.
Not long after Shiwei received the call, five or six people came from the direction of the Imperial Capital and arrived in Tianyang by plane. After landing, the city bureau sent a special car to pick them up, using the 'Chang'an Star' donated by 'Holy Light'.
The few people who arrived were all in plainclothes. Because the mission was not highly classified, the atmosphere in the car was relatively relaxed. The comrades from the city bureau chatted casually and talked about some interesting anecdotes about the 'Holy Light' and Zhou Qingfeng.
When they arrived at Tianyang Machinery Factory, the comrades from the municipal bureau took out their IDs and drove the car directly in. The workshop rented by 'Shengguang Machinery' was brightly lit, and the ground and walls were reflected white, which was completely different from ordinary factory areas.
"This place is really different!"
Introduced by police officers from the city bureau, several people in plainclothes met Schweic and shook hands with each other to introduce each other. One of them was from a ministry in the imperial capital, and the others were from universities and scientific research institutions.
There are four CNC machine tools being installed in one corner of the workshop, and more than twenty technicians and third-line backbones are busy around the machine tools. They first need to fix the machine tools. This process is very cumbersome and requires repeated measurements and adjustments.
Schweich brought the operating instructions of the machine tool and distributed them to several people from the imperial capital. The group of people lowered their heads and read silently, mainly scanning the performance data.
how to say?
Nothing special.
These CNC machine tools are naturally much better than ordinary manual machine tools, but they are not amazing at all. The person from the ministry asked: "How did this thing come in?"
"Probably by water, along the Yangtze River upstream to Jiujiang, and then transported south to Tianyang." A comrade from the municipal bureau said, "But we are not sure yet, because the waterway is really difficult to check."
The person from the ministry frowned deeper, but said nothing. The 'Holy Light' now seemed harmless to humans and animals, and no one would bother to investigate it. It was rare to be confused and it was easier to cooperate.
Several people from the Imperial Capital came to investigate. The machine tools haven't been installed yet, so they can only follow along and work.
Get off work at 6:30, and the technicians and key workers did not get off work either. Many people took out their mobile phones and told their families that they would go back later today and would have dinner in the factory.
The man from the ministry was inexplicably surprised by this. He was still a little arrogant at first, but when he saw that more than half of the twenty-odd people serving the machine tools were assigned the title of "Big Brother", he found it hard to accept it.
Schweic had just finished the call, closed the antenna of his mobile phone, and smiled at the people in the Imperial City: "It's okay. Within the Holy Light, this 'big brother' is standard."
This thing is actually standard equipment in local private companies? How does this make public officials in the imperial capital feel embarrassed?
"Is it issued by your company?"
"That's right. It's not unusual for each technician to have one. The company also covers 300 yuan in phone calls per month." Schweic was very proud as he spoke.
Mobile phones are expensive these days, and so are the call charges. If the company didn't cover the call charges, Schweic would be reluctant to make calls. But now he is like "big brother" and puts it on the workbench casually.
The first generation of mobile phones was too heavy and cumbersome to carry around.
Everyone will put it down when they arrive at work. Since there are so many people assigned to it, each phone must have a name on it, otherwise it will be confused.
I didn't notice it just now, but now the few people who came from the imperial capital feel that they are embarrassed. The popularity rate of "Holy Light"'s "Big Brother" is higher than that of their units, which is ridiculously high.
At half past six, they took a break in the workshop. A motorized tricycle from the logistics department brought them dinner, including two meat and vegetables, and a bucket of hot soup.
Schweic greeted a few times, and several people from the imperial capital shouted: "Come, come, let's eat together. Our company's food is quite good."
The main dish is fried chicken with chili peppers. The main dish comes with rice and noodles. There are not many varieties, but the portion is sufficient.
Several people from the imperial capital often travel on business and are very aware of the food situation at the grassroots level.
Generally, only local leaders can come forward to have a meal in a restaurant. The life of ordinary workers is very ordinary.
But the person from the ministry held a peeling enamel bowl in his hand, looked at the several large thermos buckets on the motor vehicle, and asked in confusion: "Is this supplied to you by the canteen of the machinery factory?"
"No." Schweic shook his head, "This shabby factory canteen is terrible. We won't eat there at all.
This meal is made by the employees of Harmony Supermarket. We have to rate it after eating it. Many poor families in the city rely on this job to support their families."
The people in Imperial City didn't understand, but Schweic said casually: "The company is quite humane, and recently it has recruited some poor middle school students in the city to do odd jobs.
The money given is not much, but it really solves a big problem.
Last time I met a kid who was about to drop out of school. I told him that even if he couldn't get into high school, he could still get two to three hundred dollars a month at Holy Light by getting into a vocational school. He immediately started working hard to study."
Shiwei is originally from Shanghai, and has been in Guizhou for more than ten years. He is always happy with spicy food. He pushed up his glasses, took a few bites of chili peppers while holding a rice bowl, and smiled happily.
This made several people from the imperial capital feel that they had come to the wrong place?
After eating in five minutes, we continued working in the workshop.
The people who came to the Imperial Capital were mainly here to judge Zhou Qingfeng's smuggling ability and to find out the level of the CNC machine tool this master had obtained.
The operating instructions can only be regarded as a reference, and they are not for actual use after completing the installation and debugging.
At ten o'clock at night, while Shiwei and others were still busy, another group of people suddenly came outside the workshop. The leader was Xiao Jinlang.
The third-line personnel were all recruited by Lao Xiao himself. He took a few glances when he came in and immediately recognized a few unfamiliar faces among the people who were assembling the machine tools.
"Where did these people come from?" Lao Xiao came to Shiwei and asked.
The comrade from the municipal bureau hadn't left yet, so he came over and whispered, "He's from the National Science and Technology Commission."
The person from the ministry was also surprised and glanced at Xiao Jinlang.
The comrade from the city bureau could only lower his voice and reply again: "They are people from the National Security Bureau over there. You two are targeting this company at the same time."
Every local public security bureau will have a person from the national security department or section. There are two teams and one person. They are not listed to the outside world. They usually keep quiet, strictly keep secrets, and do not interfere with the local area.
Different ministries and commissions have their own responsibilities, and it is common for them not to communicate with each other. Occasionally, they may focus on the same goal.
The people brought by Lao Xiao were even more silent and did the same thing as the people in the Imperial Capital.
Siwei thought about the instructions he had received from his classmates in the Magic City, and immediately realized that the situation within the Holy Light seemed to be calm, but in fact, it was unknowingly mixed with several forces.
Xiao Jinlang only briefly glanced at the operating instructions and didn't care much about the specific performance of the machine tools. He just wanted to know that such a batch of machine tools had indeed been 'smuggled' in.
After confirming the matter, Lao Xiao asked everyone in the workshop: "When was the last time you saw Mr. Zhou?"
Schweic asked in surprise: "If you want to see Mr. Zhou, why don't you call him?"
"The call went through, why do I still want to come here?" Lao Xiao replied angrily. He thought to himself: "I don't know where that guy Zhou Qingfeng has gone? He hasn't been seen for two days."
