The warehouse area of Fengtian Machine Tool.
The north is truly vast and rich in resources. The scale of a company's warehouse area alone can be compared with the grain and oil market in Pingle Village.
Big, very big.
There are rows and rows of warehouse areas. When you open the doors, you will see brand new machine tools neatly stored inside.
In the eyes of the people at Fengtian Machine Tool, the warehouses full of unsold machine tools are a huge headache. If no one wants them after they are produced and they cannot be sold, they become non-performing assets.
The key point is that machine tools are also a kind of digital products, and CNC machine tools are updated very quickly.
If the CNC machine tools you produced this year cannot be sold and remain in the warehouse for two years, they will become outdated products. If new products cannot be sold, old products will be even more difficult to sell.
As a result, the backlog continued to accumulate year after year, and Fengtian Machine Tool was afraid to dismantle it because it would have no value at all and it would be difficult to explain when taking inventory of state-owned assets.
Since they couldn't sell them, they had to build more warehouses year after year and treat each machine tool like an ancestor.
Is the leader in a hurry? Of course he is.
Because your products can't be sold, firstly, you can't create value for society and help industrial development. Secondly, you have a lot of bad debts, which will make your performance report at the end of the year look bad.
This makes it difficult for company leaders to get promoted, and they are lucky to be able to keep this position.
The workers became even more anxious. Even though the efficiency was poor, at least they could still get a few thousand yuan in salary a month.
But large state-owned enterprises can go bankrupt at any time. Northeast China learned a bitter lesson in this regard in the 1990s. The laid-off workers at that time were so miserable that they didn't even dare to write novels. If they did, they would be blocked.
Therefore, the workers of Fengtian Machine Tool are absolutely unwilling to see the company go bankrupt.
Today, a group of southern merchants finally came and seemed to be interested in the old machine tools. They shouted the slogan of buying them in bulk. In an instant, Lingnan Hall and his group became the most distinguished guests of Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical.
Cai Jianzhong, the head of Fengtian Machine Tool, no longer pretended to be reserved and came to receive them in person.
Thousands of workers from Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical lined the streets to welcome them, and applauded the Lingnan Business Group one by one.
Cai Jianzhong said with a smile:
"Director Lin, I'm so sorry. I just had a meeting in the province. I heard you were coming, so I left halfway and rushed over. Look, this is a welcoming team spontaneously organized by the employees, hehe."
Lin Sanqi thought, are you sure you're at a provincial meeting? Or are you flirting with your secretary?
Northerners pay attention to the scene, and Lin Sanqi will certainly use fancy sedan chairs to carry people:
"Mr. Cai, you're too polite. Fengtian Electromechanical is such a large factory, its scale is far beyond the reach of a small southern company like ours. We at Lingnan Hall are honored that you have come to receive us in person."
After saying this, Lin Sanqi bowed to the crowd of employees around him to express his gratitude.
This is another difference between the north and the south. The various welcome ceremonies for the top leaders and second-in-command of Fengtian Machine Tool, and the welcoming team of several thousand people, wasted most of the day.
If it weren't for Lin Sanqi's insistence, Fengtian Machine Tool would have wanted to go to the hotel for a "working dinner" first and discuss the machine tool transaction work tomorrow.
If this happened in the south, they would definitely take you directly to the sales department, show you the product parameters, determine the quantity and type you want to purchase, and then negotiate the price.
The two parties reached an agreement, the warehouse shipped the goods as soon as possible, and the boss then had tea with the customers in the office, and the efficiency was super high.
Chairman Cai Jianzhong personally took Lin Sanqi into a warehouse:
"Mr. Lin, this warehouse you see is full of milling machines. Milling machines are a widely used machine tool that can process planes, grooves, spiral surfaces and various curved surfaces.
In addition, it can also be used for machining the surface and inner holes of rotating bodies and for cutting work.
When the milling machine is working, the workpiece is mounted on the workbench or accessories such as the dividing head. The rotation of the milling cutter is the main motion, supplemented by the feed motion of the workbench or milling head, so that the workpiece can obtain the required processing surface.
Simply put, a milling machine is a machine tool that can perform milling, drilling and boring on workpieces.
In fact, Lin Sanqi didn't understand a word he heard. He just did some quick research online before coming here and knew that machine tools was a general term with many categories.
He was concerned about whether this data milling machine was easy to operate.
"Mr. Cai, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I'm just an outsider. The machine tools I purchase are all for export to Africa. I wonder if your milling machines are difficult to operate? If they're too difficult, I'm afraid the African blacks won't be able to do it."
Cai Jianzhong laughed heartily:
"Director Lin, you have just seen it in our product display area. In fact, the operating principle of the milling machine is the same. As long as the product data is input, the machine tool can automatically process it.
When we started working, each worker had to operate a machine tool, which was very strenuous and could easily result in defective products if we were not careful.
Now with this kind of CNC machine tool, one worker can manage 10 or 20 machine tools, greatly improving efficiency.
Not only does it improve efficiency, but because the computer processes parts based entirely on the parameters you input, the resulting parts are precisely the same size and model, which is very important for standardized industries. After all, humans cannot achieve 100% uniformity and accuracy."
After Cai Jianzhong finished speaking, an engineer immediately brought over a tablet computer.
"Mr. Lin, please see that we have prepared manuals and very detailed operation videos for all our products. After customers purchase our machine tools, they do not need any training at all. They can operate them just by reading the manual and watching the video.
Take the universal lift table milling machine in front of you. If you watch this video, an elite like Mr. Lin will be able to master it after just one viewing. Ordinary workers will be able to master it after watching it a few times.
Today's CNC machines are all foolproof, one-touch operation, and incredibly convenient. Not to mention Africans, if penguins in Antarctica were a bit smarter, they'd be able to operate these machine tools easily after watching this video."
Hehehe~~~Everyone at the scene chuckled.
Lin Sanqi took the tablet and randomly clicked on a few product operation videos.
As expected, state-owned enterprises are not short of money. Every video is shot like a documentary, with multiple angles. It is estimated that the shooting costs alone are a huge sum of money.
But this is exactly what Lin Sanqi wants.
The more detailed your instruction manual and operation video are, the easier it will be for him to transport it back to 1962. If the workers come to ask him, he won't understand.
Accompanied by Cai Jianzhong, Lin Sanqi continued his tour under the watchful eyes of all the workers in the factory.
When everyone arrived at a warehouse with stricter security and a ventilation system, Cai Jianzhong said excitedly:
"Director Lin, this is the warehouse for the five-axis machine tools. Let's go and take a look."
As soon as the warehouse door opened, a row of high-tech machine tools were visible to the naked eye, standing there quietly as if looking down on everyone.
Lin Sanqi thought, this kind of five-axis machine tool was acquired by the country in 1962, and the entire upper class must be going crazy.
So what Lin Sanqi was thinking at this time was that no matter what the cost, these five-axis machine tools must be obtained, even if the people over there don't know how to operate them, the worst that can happen is to dismantle a few more for research.
Again, in the 1960s we could even make the atomic bomb, so how could we not get a ready-made machine tool?
Don't underestimate the heroes of the world.
Cai Jianzhong and the people from Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical were also quietly observing Lin Sanqi's expression.
They had already seen that the owner of Lingnan Hall sincerely wanted to buy machine tools, but they were not sure how many machine tools they could sell.
Anyway, as long as the production line, workers and raw materials are there, we can produce as many machines as we want without worrying about the other party asking for a high price.
Lin Sanqi joked at this time:
"Mr. Cai, I was watching short videos on my phone on the way here, and I came across a video from the German Hammer company. It showed a perfectly square block of metal being smoothly machined into a pipe bracket."
While Lin Sanqi was still speaking, the secretary Zhu Xinyue next to him had already pulled up a video and showed it to everyone in Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical.
After reading it, Cai Jianzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Mr. Lin, we are all family, and family members don't lie to each other. I am familiar with the Hammer C42U five-axis machine tool you mentioned. It can be said to represent the world's most advanced top-level machine tool technology.
Their CNC systems, servo drives and precision measurement technologies can achieve micron-level or even nanometer-level processing accuracy to meet high-precision processing needs.
In addition, imported five-axis machine tools also perform well in heavy-duty structures, machine tool casting, heat treatment, etc. They have the advantages of high-precision, high-speed processing and composite processing technology, with high processing efficiency and strong flexibility.
Our domestic five-axis machining centers are only adequate, but not the most advanced in the world. We still need to improve our high-precision, high-speed machining and composite machining technologies.
Domestic machine tool development and manufacturing of core components are still in their infancy. Core components such as five-axis linkage systems, high-precision linear motors, and high-performance reducers require further development before they can fully replace imported products.
