Chapter 168 Thinking about eating alone all day
"The wood carving machines in Linyi are all sold crazy!"
At Longhu Machinery Factory, Heling City, Jingnan Province, the director of the factory Zhao Xinggen, holding a newspaper, muttered to Zhao Xingwang, the younger brother who was the chief engineer of the factory. His tone was full of envy and jealousy.
On the newspaper he was holding, there was a full page of the advertisement, which was written in huge font:
"Wood carving machine tools, entrepreneurial responsibility; long tassels in hand, life is brilliant!"
Qin Zhongnian led the technical team of Linyi Machinery to complete the design of the wood carving machine in less than 10 days. At the same time, Xinjingwei Company also completed the development of the special pattern design software for wood carving machine tools.
According to Tang Zifeng's requirements, this software highlights the characteristics of "fooling". Anyone who has never had a computer foundation can fully master the use of the software after two or three days of training. The software has a scanning interface, which can scan pictures and automatically generate engraving patterns. At that time, the operator can directly submit the pattern to the wood carving machine for engraving, or secondary development based on the pattern to create better graphics.
Since many functions in the original Huaxia Cad system were deleted, the demand for computer hardware of this software has also been reduced, and it can run smoothly on a computer of 486 level, which undoubtedly reduces the cost of use.
Everything is ready. Linyi Machinery and the Linhe Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China jointly initiated free training on wood carving machine tools. 50 laid-off workers selected by labor departments across the province came to Linhe and became the first batch of students. After a week of training, the students mastered the operation technology of wood carving machine tools, returned to their hometown with machine tools and computer equipment that emitted the smell of paint, and immediately opened a wood carving shop.
According to the information feedback from the first batch of students, the business of the wood carving shop was extremely popular. The students did not even have the opportunity to use the pattern design techniques they learned. They just used various pattern templates given by a single machine, and the carved wood carvings and calligraphy were in short supply, and several of them had earned over 10,000 in a few days.
Dongye Daily quickly reported that the Changying brand wood carving machine tool was hailed as a treasure pot for laid-off reemployment, and the money printing machine also praised the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which provided entrepreneurial loans to laid-off workers. Guo Yunce's name really made the front page headlines. Seeing the newspaper, Guo Yunce was overjoyed and immediately instructed Tian Linlin to inlay the newspaper with a glass frame, and drew a red line under Guo Yunce's name in the article to remind outsiders to pay attention.
Perhaps Tian Linlin was too excited when she was in charge of the matter. The red pen trembled slightly, and the red line slanted across Guo Yunce's name, which made people look a bit weird. However, all the employees of the Industrial and Commercial Branch chose to pretend to be blind. Of course, this is off-topic.
With the successful experience of the first phase of training, the second phase of laid-off workers also started to develop quickly. At the same time, the sales department of Linyi Machine began to advertise in newspapers across the country, claiming that people are not distinguished from men and women, and places are not distinct from north and south. Anyone who is interested in wood carving business can go to Linyi Machine for training. The training fee is free of charge and food and accommodation are taken care of by themselves.
In order to cooperate with the advertising, Tang Zifeng found his senior brothers and sisters who worked as journalists in several national media through Wang Zijie and asked them to come to Linyi Machinery for interviews to build momentum for wood carving machine tools.
Using technology to benefit laid-off workers and open up new ideas for laid-off reemployment is the biggest highlight of the business of Mingyi Machine Carving Machine Tools. At the peak of laid-off employees in state-owned enterprises across the country, the top leaders made speeches repeatedly, demanding attention to the issue of laid-off reemployment. Information related to this is undoubtedly a hot topic of news.
After visiting the laid-off workers who run wood carving shops on the spot, several senior brothers and sisters confirmed that the achievements of Linyi Machinery were true, benefiting the present and making achievements for thousands of years. So they waved their wonderful writings and wrote touching articles one by one. In addition to complimenting the great achievements of Dongye Province in promoting laid-off and reemployment, they also spread the reputation of Linyi Machinery Wood Carving Machinery to all over the country.
At this point, it is difficult to not be popular with wood carving machines. Countless self-employed businesses gathered in Linhe and squatted at the factory gate to wait for the machine tools. The re-employment authorities of several provinces came to orders, and at one point they needed seventy or eighty sets. There were also some craft wood carving factories, who heard that there were such good equipment, and they came to learn about it. After seeing it, they ordered a lot to liberate the workers who held carving knives in the factory.
The popularity of sales made the sales department happy, but made the production department feel miserable. The production department has done calculations and produced according to the maximum production capacity. It can only provide more than 200 wood carving machine tools per machine a month. In just one month, the sales department received orders of more than 1,000 units, and all orders were eager to write the words "urgent, wait online".
All workshops were loaded, and Zhou Heng promised countless bonuses to encourage workers to work overtime to complete orders. Even so, a large number of subsequent orders could only be queued up, and the farthest schedule had been queued for half a year.
Such a good business situation has made countless domestic peers greedy. Those large state-owned machine tool factories are fine, but they think that the task of 8 million yuan is not worth snatching them. However, the township machinery companies along the coast are so envious that their eyes are red, and they wish they can turn into octopus and stretch out their eight hands to grab the order into their own bowl.
"This machine tool has no technical difficulty. We can completely imitate it, and it can even be made better than a Pin machine. However, we are completely confused about the control principle of the machine tool. Just imitating the machine tool is useless." Zhao Xingwang said to his brother dejectedly.
When the Changying brand wood carving machine tool just became popular, the Zhao brothers had already set their sights on this product.
Jingnan is one of the provinces in the country that became rich first. The first thing a farmers do after becoming rich is to build houses, and they compare luxury with each other. Carved beams and painted buildings are the most common thing. In Dongye Province, Tang Zifeng's estimated that a county can support at most one or two wood carving shops, while in Jingnan Province, a township can afford several wood carving shops because the wood carving business is too abundant.
Earlier, some local machinery companies in Jingnan had produced wood carving machine tools, but their functions were limited to carving some simple patterns, and their operation was very difficult and sales were very limited. After the appearance of the long tassel wood carving machine tools, carpenters from all over Jingnan focused on this simple, easy-to-learn and powerful artifact, and rushed to Linhe to purchase.
Due to the insufficient production capacity of the Pinyi Machine, most Jingnan carpenters cannot buy spot stocks and can only get a line order and wait for the number to be called...
In front of such a business opportunity, how could the Zhao brothers sit still? They immediately bought a long tassel machine tool from others at a high price and prepared to disassemble eight pieces for imitation.
As soon as he got the machine tool, Zhao Xingwang understood that this thing was not easy to imitate. From his perspective, of course he could see that this machine tool was actually a simplified version of the gantry milling machine, using the design idea of prototyping milling, and the technical core of the technology is in pattern calling and tooling strategies.
Pattern call is implemented by a CNC module. The operator needs to read the graphics files generated on the computer or pre-made graphics library into the memory of the machine tool using a floppy disk. The microprocessor in the CNC module will convert the graphics signal into the control signal for the milling cutter movement, controlling the feeding of the front, back, left and right, and up and down of the milling cutter, thereby carving the required graphics on the wooden board.
The idea is not complicated, but the encoding method and tooling strategy of the graphics file cannot be restored by Zhao Xingwang. With Zhao Xingwang's own ability, he can design a machine tool with three-dimensional milling and machining capabilities, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve the fine engraving effect of a long tassel machine tool.
"Can you buy ready-made CNC modules?" Zhao Xinggen asked.
Zhao Xingwang shook his head and said, "I think about it. The only technical secret of the Linyi machine is this control system. A machine tool of Linyi machine is sold for 20,000 yuan, and the cost of the mechanical part cannot be used even 5,000 yuan. Adding a CNC module is only one or two thousand yuan. Why do they sell it so expensive? Isn't it because others can't buy this CNC system?"
"Where is the CNC system?" Zhao Xinggen asked.
Zhao Xingwang said: "They used the processor chips of the Military Industry 432 factory, but they poured the program into it themselves. Unless someone was asked to crack it, no one could copy it."
"Fuck! It's the special machine again. The people of Linyi Machine are too stingy. Last time they built a baler, they deliberately led people to the wrong way. Now they have created a wooden carving machine and locked the program tightly. They want to eat alone all day long, and they are not afraid of being able to hold on!" Zhao Xinggen cursed hatefully.
Half a year ago, when Linyi Machine developed a new baler, Longhu Machinery Factory wanted to imitate it, but it was a bad way by an article published by Tang Zifeng authorized newspaper. After a long time of struggle, it still didn't make any trouble. When I finally understood the mystery of the baler and successfully imitated Linyi Machinery Baler, the market was already occupied, and the remaining sales volume was not enough to offset their previous expenses.
That incident made the Zhao brothers a little scared about Pin Yim, so Zhao Xingwang felt helpless when he saw this Changying Wooden Carving Machine Tool. He had a premonition that the machine tool must be pitted again, and he jumped into it himself, and might fall into pieces again.
"Xingwang, you just said you could find someone to crack it. Are you sure?"
After cursing, Zhao Xinggen remembered that there was still some room for his younger brother's words just now, so he asked.
Zhao Xingwang said: "I can't understand it either. Logically speaking, they used computers to design patterns and then input the patterns into the machine tool control system. There should be flaws in this. I think that if a computer expert can be found, they may be able to crack their control programs."
"Okay, let's go directly to Beijing and go to Zhongguancun. I don't believe that I can't find someone who can crack this bird system!"
