Chapter 72 Do you want me to make something out of nothing?

Cheng Hui ordered 50,000 shoelaces and went to the nearest next stop.

Enamel factory.

It mainly produces enamel basins, enamel cups, enamel spittoons and other enamel products.

As soon as you look at the entrance, you can tell that this is a large factory with thousands of employees.

The main entrance is grand and the interior is endless with factory buildings lined up in rows.

Nowadays, the tableware we use is either porcelain or enamel. There is almost no stainless steel and even less plastic.

A few years ago, if you wanted to buy a washbasin or spittoon with a big red wedding character on it, you had to bring your marriage certificate with you!

Otherwise they won’t sell it to you.

The output has increased slightly in recent years, but for an ordinary rural family, having an enamel cup or an enamel basin is something to show off.

Cheng Hui came in a car. The guard recognized the car and saw that it was from the machinery factory. He came over quickly, opened the gate, and let Cheng Hui in without asking any questions.

Old Sun suddenly said, "Oh no! I should have put you farther away, and you should have come here by yourself!"

Cheng Hui asked curiously, "Why? Does your factory have a grudge against them?"

“No, they just wanted to replace an old set of equipment from the 1950s with the most advanced imported equipment and asked us to do it. Our technicians said it couldn’t be done, so they refused to do it.

"This group of laymen went to other factories and saw their new equipment, and they thought it was simple. When they came back, they asked our factory to modify it for them. Are machines so easy to modify?"

As Old Sun was talking, he suddenly saw the smile on Cheng Hui's face and shut up instantly.

Others can't change it, but this person might be able to...

He had already driven to the entrance of the office building, and suddenly got out of the car to open the door for Cheng Hui!

The director of the enamel factory and several others who had seen his car coming out from upstairs a long time ago were stunned when they saw that the person getting out of the car was not Zhao Daxing but a little girl.

Zhao Daxing’s daughter? I haven't heard that his daughter got married!

Old Sun was very good at handling things. He introduced everyone: "This is Engineer Cheng, from Beijing. He just repaired our CNC machine tool!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Cheng Hui with serious eyes.

"I heard a few days ago that your imported machine tools had been repaired. The person who repaired them was an expert from Beijing. I didn't expect it to be a young comrade! And a female comrade!"

"Please come in, please come in!"

Someone impatient asked directly: "Is the master here to modify the machine for us?"

Cheng Hui did not mention that she was here to buy scrap metal, but smiled and said, "You have to see it to know."

"Let's go, let's go to the workshop now!" said the factory director Song Xilai excitedly.

Cheng Hui first took a look at his figure. He was very tall, about 1.80 meters tall, and also very thin, without a beer belly.

He looks to be in his 40s, with thick hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He exudes energy and vigor.

You can tell at first glance that he is very ambitious.

She likes people who are ambitious.

Cheng Hui went to the nearest blank making workshop with a few others.

As soon as she entered the house, Cheng Hui knew she had come to the right place.

Their first step is to cut the rectangular iron sheet into round pieces, which will waste a lot of iron sheet.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that the iron sheet was a bit thick, but it was not unusable, as it was stronger when thicker.

She looked around and asked, "What kind of equipment do you want to change to?"

"Like this." Song Xilai took out a few photos and handed them to her.

He took photos while he was out visiting.

Cheng Hui took a look and found that it was a simple assembly line.

The iron sheet enters the machine here, and then it is automatically cut, made into blanks, and curled.

Here comes the point, after the iron billet is made, the machine will automatically coat it!

Enameling is the process of coating the iron blank with glaze, and the most common method now is manual dipping.

Just hold the blank in your hand and put it into the glaze, take it out, and shake it!

The goal is to shake evenly.

But how is that possible? Not only will it not be evenly applied, but the glaze will often get on places where it shouldn't be, resulting in a high defect rate.

The machine will not do that. Not only is it very even, but it will basically not get the glaze on the outside sticking to the inside.

Cheng Hui asked: "Do you apply the enameling by hand?"

"Look, the expert figured it out at a glance!" Song Xilai praised and asked hopefully, "Look, how do we change it?"

Cheng Hui stuffed the photo into his arms and said speechlessly: "The premise of modification is that there is something to modify. Do you have a semi-finished machine for me to modify? No. You want me to create something out of nothing!"

Several managers, whose average age was over 40, all laughed awkwardly.

Although what he said was not polite, it was the truth...

The only machines they have are a few punching machines for slicing and blanking, which have nothing to do with enameling machines.

"Then there is no way to solve this problem?" Song Xilai said unwillingly.

"Take the photos and find a machinery factory to customize a set." Cheng Hui said.

"This machine is imported. It can't be made in China. I thought the Seventh Machinery Factory could make it, but they said it couldn't be made." Song Xilai said, "Don't you have any other solution?"

Since there is no similar machine in China, she knows what to do...

"There is a way." Cheng Hui said.

Song Xilai's eyes lit up: "Really? What's the solution?"

"To make a complete assembly line, you need CNC technology, which the Seventh Machinery Factory hasn't figured out yet, so don't even think about it.

"But what you need most is the enameling machine. You can separate it out and make it into a small machine that can be semi-manually operated. It can just realize automatic enameling." Cheng Hui said.

"Yes, yes, let's do it!" Song Xilai said in surprise.

Cheng Hui really hit the nail on the head. What he likes most is just the automatic enameling machine in this assembly line!

Cheng Hui asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Someone immediately handed over a pen and paper.

Cheng Hui quickly drew the exposed part of the automatic enameling machine in the photo and handed it to Song Xilai.

"Just go to the machine shop and ask them to make this little machine for you."

After she said that, she simply turned and left.

Still no mention of the iron sheet.

This time she didn't plan to exchange it for the cake, she planned to make the other party beg her to accept it!

Song Xilai was so happy holding the blueprint that he said to everyone, "Look, an expert is an expert. He drew the machine in no time! It looks so real!"

Suddenly, someone next to him said, "Now that I have drawn it, can I make it?"

Song Xilai's laughter stopped abruptly. He was stunned for a few seconds and immediately asked someone to drive him to the machinery factory!

In the machinery factory, Zhao Daxing was accompanying Cheng Jianming to draw blueprints.

Cheng Jianming painted and he watched.

The more I watch it, the more I like it.

"When our factory builds welfare housing again, we will build it like this!" said Zhao Daxing.

He was just feeling happy, but when he looked up he saw Song Xilai rushing in, and his brows immediately frowned.

This annoying guy who never gets enough of taking advantage of others is here again!

How much does the assembly line they are going to build cost? I heard that the Beijing Enamel Factory spent more than 1 million US dollars to buy it! More expensive than their CNC machines.

As a result, this annoying guy asked him to "modify" it and only wanted to spend 20,000 yuan!

He just wanted to say: Get out!

Song Xilai acted as if he could not see Zhao Daxing's dark face, holding the drawing drawn by Cheng Hui and said:

"Just now, Engineer Cheng from your factory came to our factory and said that you can make an enameling machine by yourself. Just do it like this."

"Who in our factory, Engineer Cheng, whose head was kicked by a donkey, said that? Whoever said that, you can let him do it..."

Zhao Daxing lowered his head to take a look at the drawing in front of him and stopped talking abruptly.

The drawings drawn by different people are also different. Although they are all lines, experts can tell the difference.

Zhao Daxing knew at a glance that this was painted by Cheng Hui and immediately stopped talking.
