The machine tool department has a relatively weak presence in the Nanwan Group. Almost no one who visits the Nanwan Group pays attention to this department unless they come specifically for it.
In fact, as the backbone of mechanical processing, machine tools occupy an absolutely important position in industrial processing.
Even in Nanwan Group, no one ever looks down on the machine tool department.
As the only unit in China that can produce machine tools with more than five axes, Nanwan Machine Tools is actually not very well-known in China.
In addition to the fact that Nanwan Machine Tools has not been involved in the private enterprise market in recent years, this is also largely related to Li Da's low-key personality.
Li Da is an invisible presence in Nanwan Group. At the annual group awards ceremony, except for the special prize won by the nine-axis linkage machine tool in the year, most of the winners in other years were third prizes and encouragement prizes.
Because the research of this department is mainly focused on improvement, which is of the minor repair and supplement type, it will naturally not win any major awards.
However, in the past two years, we have also started to research new types of machining centers, and it is said that one project is about to succeed.
But Li Da may not be able to see these, because he will retire in more than fifty days.
In a blink of an eye, Li Da has been in Nanwan for more than eight years. Li Da, who is 60 years old this year, will retire in February.
Li Da is from Panjin, a small city in northern Liaoning. His family did not move to Nanwan. His son is a small boss in a company in Panjin, but his daughter works in Nanwan.
"In a few days I'll be retiring and enjoying my life. I don't know why, but only now do I suddenly realize that South Bay is truly worth staying here."
"Why don't you move your family here? Nanwan has undergone environmental renovations, and the environment has changed a lot in the past two days. Although it's not yet as beautiful as green mountains and clear waters, it is still beautiful."
"Oh! I'd love to come, but what's the point of me coming when my son and grandson aren't here? But I'll come visit often."
Wan Feng felt a little sad when he thought that Li Da would be gone in two months.
In the blink of an eye, Li Da is about to retire, Chen Dao is fifty years old, and I will be twenty-eight after this new year. Time flies so fast.
"I've already chosen your successor. He's a university student named Gao Ping. He was one of the first to come to our company. He's been here for three years. He's knowledgeable, skilled, and ambitious. I'm very optimistic about him."
Wan Feng also knew about this young man named Gao Ping; Li Da had mentioned him several times before.
Gao Ping is now the director of a workshop. He manages the workshop very well in all aspects. He is the one who is in charge of the new machining center project.
"I'll appoint him to manage the machine tool department after you retire."
"We used to mainly supply the military and didn't make much progress in the civilian sector. It's a shame that many people in China don't know there's a unit that can produce five-axis machine tools. Fortunately, military demand has decreased in the past two years, and our machine tools have begun to be used in civilian applications. Next year's demand will be very high, and we've received orders for thousands of units. I don't have to worry about these orders anymore. Let Xiao Gao worry about it, hahahaha."
Li Da's worry was not that there was no work to do, but on the contrary that there was too much work to do.
Multi-axis machine tools are not easy to produce. From cutting the first piece of steel to the final shipment, a machine tool has to go through thousands of processes, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Initially, this department could only produce a dozen machine tools a year, but gradually it developed to produce dozens or even hundreds of machines.
Even though some of the components are now supplied on assembly lines, only a few hundred units are produced each year.
Now that Li Da retires, he no longer has to worry about not completing orders.
Seeing Li Da's obscene smile, Wan Feng was speechless.
Is it true that the kind of boss you have, the kind of subordinates you have? Li Da is such a good guy, why is he gloating over someone else's misfortune?
It seems that I need to change my style of living in the future, and strive to be a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from vulgar tastes, and a person who is beneficial to the people...
Oh no, that’s not right. This is Bethune!
This has nothing to do with me!
Since the machine tool department mastered the nine-axis five-link machine tool, it now has a development plan for a ten-axis linkage machine tool, but it has not yet started.
If Gao Ping can successfully develop a machining center that can process very complex parts in one go, Wan Feng is ready to let him start the development project.
The main task of the R&D department of the machine tool department is to make the existing machine tools more refined, and strive to eliminate the gap with Japanese and foreign machine tools in a short period of time and become world-class.
Wan Feng also recorded this date in 2000.
By that year, Wan Feng believed that all the projects in Nanwan Group's hands would reach world-class level. Even if they could not surpass their competitors, they would at least be on par with them.
Becoming a Fortune 500 company...
They are all empty titles and actually useless. Maybe it is a good thing not to be on the list.
Just like he has never been on the rich list, but he is living a good life.
Li Da retired in February, just after the Chinese New Year, so why not hold a retirement ceremony for him before the New Year so that he can go home and reunite with his family.
He has to return to Panjin to collect his pension. Nanwan Group has paid all his fees in Nanwan over the years. On the day of his retirement, a ceremony must be held for him, and then he will be allowed to go home in a grand manner.
After waving goodbye to Li Da, Wan Feng came to the new factory while thinking about Li Da's retirement.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the new factory, I saw several Nanwan trucks loaded with equipment driving out of the gate and heading towards the bay mouth.
This is the moving truck of Huaguang Technology. The moving route is to go out of the bay and along the cement road through Wohu Village to the new factory site.
Ling Yunwei, who was sitting in the cab of a truck, jumped out of the car when he saw Wan Feng.
"Manager Ling, how's the move going?"
From the day the decision to move was made to today, the move has been going on for more than forty days, and Wan Feng wants to know the progress of the move.
"Now the learning machine and pager workshops have been moved there. The learning machine workshop has resumed production. The pager workshop is still debugging its equipment and is expected to resume work in a few days. It will take a few more days for the mobile phone workshop to be fully moved. There is little hope that the mobile phone workshop will resume work before the New Year, so it will be put off until after the New Year."
Huaguang Technology's relocation does not mean stopping all projects and moving them together, but moving them one project at a time.
This prevents all projects from being shut down.
Huaguang Technology's current projects include five types of products: learning machines, pagers, mobile phones, DVD players, and computers. After the Chinese New Year, the 2G mobile phone will be put online for testing.
Now the learning machines and pagers have been moved there, and about half of them have been moved there. This means that half of Huaguang Technology has been moved.
Now that Huaguang Technology has moved to a new location, it is certain that they will not have to move again within the next ten years.
