Vice President Wang also interrupted at this time:
"The core of five-axis machine tools is computer software and algorithms. In addition, the core hardware also includes servo drives, motors, and inverters. We cannot currently produce these domestically and need to import them. However, the world's most advanced five-axis machine tools are currently embargoed to my country."
Lin Sanqi knew about the embargo.
But he planned to take these machine tools to 1962. As long as the domestically produced five-axis machine tools could surpass those of that era, it would be a success.
"Mr. Cai, Mr. Wang, I saw something online that said Japan sold two five-axis machine tools to the Russians, and they were later discovered by their American counterparts. Was this a big deal?"
Cai Jianzhong laughed when he heard this:
"This happened in 1982. At that time, the Russians were envious of five-axis machine tools, but they couldn't invent them themselves. So they set their sights on the Japanese. The Japanese, as the saying goes, raised the price tenfold and secretly sold it to the Russians.
After the Russians got this five-axis machine tool, they mainly used it for military equipment, such as propellers for nuclear submarines. It turned out that the Russians' craftsmanship was not up to standard, and the propellers were very noisy and easily detected by the US military's sonar.
Later, the Russians used propellers processed by five-axis machine tools, and the US military could no longer know where the enemy's nuclear submarines were. This was a big deal.
If the Russians' nuclear submarines were allowed to lurk quietly on the seabed near the coast of the United States, in the event of a war, the nuclear weapons launched by their nuclear submarines could reach major coastal cities such as New York, Washington, Los Angeles, etc. in just one or two minutes.
Just as the US military was baffled, a dismissed Toshiba executive reported the incident. It seems that this was the beginning of sanctions against Toshiba, and in the end, it cost a lot of money to settle the matter.
It was just a rumor on the Internet, but now after hearing what the head of Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical Company said, it is confirmed to be true.
Lin Sanqi was now excited, so he asked:
"Mr. Cai, are our five-axis machine tools more advanced than Toshiba's five-axis machine tools from 1982, or are they still inferior?"
Cai Jianzhong replied complacently at this time:
"Five-axis machine tools from the 1980s can be considered relatively rudimentary compared to today's technology. Although five-axis machine tools had already begun to develop in the 1980s, there was a significant gap between the technological level then and today's advanced level.
Our Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical's five-axis linkage machine tool is indeed not very advanced in the world, but if it were used forty or fifty years ago, it would definitely be a killer weapon.
Don’t you young people nowadays like to watch time-travel dramas? My son once told me, “Dad, if I could travel through time, I would bring our Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical’s five-axis machine tools back to decades ago, make contributions to the country, and defeat all enemies.”
Oh, I was evaluating this at the time, Mr. Lin, let alone this five-axis machining center, even the 2000 machine tool you just saw would have been a killer weapon when the People's Republic of China was founded."
Now Lin Sanqi had a clear idea in his mind.
It also strengthened his determination to move all these machine tools through time and space to 1962, no matter how much it cost.
After the two sides had a good visit, at Lin Sanqi's strong suggestion, they ordered a few boxed lunches and started negotiations overnight.
The chief officer of Fengtian Machine Tool was a little uncomfortable, thinking that he had not treated them well enough and that if he told others about it, he would be laughed at by his comrades in the Northeast.
Lin Sanqi was not born into a noble family, and she had only been rich for a little over a year, so naturally she did not have any "princess syndrome".
The same is true for Yin Lianyi. Her thinking is also to do things first and then communicate.
Otherwise, if the transaction fails, it would be ineffective communication and a pure waste of time.
"Mr. Cai, Vice President Wang, after a full day of visiting today, I'm very satisfied with the technical strength and product quality of Fengtian Electric Bed. I came here with great sincerity, so let's be frank."
When the two sides are at the negotiating table, it's like an international meeting, with each side on their side.
Cai Jianzhong also smiled, already certain in his heart that Lingnan Hall might make a large purchase this time, and he was naturally very satisfied:
"Mr. Lin, business is all about negotiation, right? Let's strive for a win-win solution."
After all, Lin Sanqi is not a workplace elite, he doesn't know how to beat around the bush, and he doesn't have any negotiation skills. For contemporary college students, sincerity is the killer skill.
"Mr. Cai, my idea is that Lingnan Hall will take over all the unsold machine tools in your warehouse. That's a total of 1,880 units, right?"
Vice President Wang quickly corrected:
"Mr. Lin, the number of 1,880 refers to the number of outdated machine tools. If we include the latest machine tools, including those five-axis machines, our current inventory is around 2,500."
Everyone in Lingnan Hall was surprised and started talking about it.
2,500 machine tools, this is not 2,500 fat pigs, this number is very astonishing. It turns out that Fengtian Machine Tool has not sold many machines in these years?
The senior officials at Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical were a little embarrassed. With so many machine tools, they were definitely the country's leading loss-maker.
Lin Sanqi laughed in his heart. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Only large state-owned enterprises would have so much inventory, and times were difficult. As long as he used his cash power, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
If it were a private enterprise, if 50 machine tools were not sold, the boss would probably be so worried that he couldn't sleep and would go around the world trying to sell them at high prices.
Lin Sanqi did not dare to laugh at Fengtian Machine Tool and could only pretend to be serious and said:
"Mr. Cai, I still have the same condition. I'll take all 2,500 of your machine tools, even those that are decades old. I'll clear out your inventory right away, and that will also reduce the burden on Fengtian Machine Tools, right?"
All the Lingnan Tang negotiators looked at their boss in surprise, wondering if he had gone mad. Was Lingnan Tang planning to switch to the machinery industry?
Only Yin Lianyi has begun to get used to it. After all, she now has an understanding that no matter what seemingly unreasonable things her boyfriend and boss does, he can always get a lot of valuable materials in the end.
Lingnan Hall made its fortune by selling these precious materials, such as medicinal herbs, jade, tangerine peel, tea, etc.
On the contrary, the main pharmaceutical business has never made any money and has always been in a loss-making state.
Cai Jianxin was ecstatic. If all the machine tools in stock could be cleared out and sold at once, it would be a great political achievement for him.
With this political achievement, he can successfully get out of the quagmire of Fengtian Machine Tool by organizing some activities.
So Cai Jian made up his mind that as long as Lingnan Hall's request was not excessive, he would agree to it. After all, the company was losing money, not him personally.
"Mr. Lin, I'm very happy. We at Fengtian Machine Tools have no problem providing you with all our machines at the most favorable price."
Lin Sanqi took a sip of the water handed to him by the secretary and said loudly:
"Mr. Cai, I just saw that you have piled up all the obsolete production lines that have been eliminated over the years in the warehouse, so I have an additional request. When I buy all the machine tools, can you transfer the obsolete ones to me?"
Cai Jianzhong and several senior officials exchanged glances. They had discussed this matter before and had reached a consensus:
"Yes, Mr. Lin, if you want our old production line, we're just treating it like scrap metal, so it's not worth much. If Lingnan Hall needs it, we can even send engineers to help you reassemble it."
But I would like to remind Mr. Lin that machine tool manufacturing is a very complex profession. For example, with the development of science and technology, the requirements for special steels are getting higher and higher, especially for tool bits and drill bits, which require the highest quality metal alloy steel.
So while Mr. Lin is purchasing our production line, he also needs to keep up with the subsequent special steel production, computer programming, and industrial chips.
Even if we want to cooperate, we must find a good supplier in advance. Otherwise, if the materials are not good, the quality of the machine tools will not be good. We at Fengtian Machine Tool suffered a great loss in the past."
Lin Sanqi nodded and quickly wrote this down in his notes.
Then some headaches.
I thought that if I wanted to build a machine tool factory, I would have to build a supporting steel factory, an electronics factory, and a computer center that knew how to program.
In addition, a data center must be established because all processed parts require detailed parameters.
We cannot be careless about this. If there is even the slightest mistake, it will become scrapped. The country in 1962 cannot afford such a loss.
There is still a long way to go, and how much money will it cost... (End of this chapter)
