"Why can foreigners play with it, why can't we play with it? We have one less head than foreigners or what? Old Liu, why didn't I see before that you, a thick-browed and big-eyed person, admire foreigners so much?"

Hearing Liu Zhifeng's questioning, Han Weichang pretended to be unhappy and retorted, and even put a big hat on Liu Zhifeng.

"What does it mean to admire foreign countries and fascinate foreigners? What are the years and years? I still use such words."

Liu Zhifeng didn't care at all. The word "respecting foreign countries and fascinating foreign countries" was popular when he and Han Weichang were young. It was indeed a very big hat at that time. Times have changed, and people today no longer use this word. It is not embarrassing to be said to be "respecting foreign countries and fascinating foreign countries".

"I mean, multi-station machine tools are not simple things. You haven't done them in the past, so why can you suddenly come up with them?" Liu Zhifeng changed his euphemism.

Han Weichang said: "There are indeed some technical tips for multi-station machine tools, but if you figure it out, there will be no mystery. Multi-station machine tools mainly need to solve the coordination problems of each working face and ensure a good working rhythm. In this regard, we invited experts from the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to help us design and develop an operation research model.

"By the way, our group has also hired a group of Russian mathematicians to help. These people are experts in making this model. I said earlier that some of our designs are stronger than Heimsat, and this is what those Russian mathematicians said."

"The Russians and the Germans are mortal enemies, and what they say may not count." Liu Zhifeng commented, but he believed it a little.

"There is also the fact that tool vibration affects each other. It is actually a problem of flexible connection of the knife shaft. We have experimented with more than a dozen knife shaft coupling solutions and have solved this problem successfully. If you don't believe it, you can ask your assistant to check the technical patents. We have applied for international patents for flexible connection of the knife shaft. At least in this regard, our level is higher than that of the Ranye." Han Weichang continued.

"What you said is true?" Liu Zhifeng was a little surprised. He was also a mechanical basic person. Even if he didn't understand what Han Weichang said, he could still hear some of the reputation. To this extent, even if Han Weichang talked about it, he would not be too exaggerated.

"So, how about the price of your machine tool?" Liu Zhifeng raised an important question.

Han Weichang stretched out a slap, shook it in front of him, and said, "The specific price needs to be calculated in detail. However, we have made a comparison. Compared with the similar machine tools of Ranye, our price is only 50% of theirs."

"Can you do this low?" Liu Zhifeng couldn't believe it.

As mentioned earlier, the automobile industry is the largest user of the machine tool industry. On the other hand, machine tool procurement is also the project with the largest proportion of equipment procurement in automobile companies, which generally accounts for 40% of the total investment in the automobile industry. Puqi is preparing to build this production line in Fengmei Automobile Company, with an estimated investment of nearly 6 billion yuan, and half of the funds are used for machine tool procurement. The most expensive of these is the import of several sets of multi-station dedicated machine tools.

The price of a single dedicated machine tool is not very high, but the production volume of modern automobile factories is large, and the number of machine tools required is extremely considerable. According to a production line that produces 200,000 cars per year, an average of nearly 600 cars are produced every day. Of course, the parts required for these 600 cars cannot be produced with one set of equipment, but several sets of equipment must be produced in parallel.

On this production line of Fengmei Company, there are as many as 50 special machine tools used to process transmissions alone, that is, there are 50 gearboxes in production at any time. Only in this way can we ensure the demand for 600 cars per day. In addition to the production of large components such as gearboxes, engines, frames, cockpits, etc., multiple machine tools are also required to work at the same time. Puqi Technology Department has roughly calculated that the total number of multi-station machine tools required may reach more than 300.

Multiplying the price of a single machine tool by more than 300, this number cannot be underestimated. If the price of each machine tool can drop by 50%, the saved equipment investment will be calculated in billions, which is not something that Liu Zhifeng is not moved.

"I tell you, Lao Liu, the machine tools sold to us by foreign companies are exaggerated by several times. What people make is the money you don't know how to build. This is just like the cars you build. The import price of the same car is several times that of the domestic price. How much difference can you think in performance?

"Isn't a car just four wheels and three sofas? How much is this worth? But an imported car is cheaper than 200,000 yuan, and expensive ones can reach millions. Could it be that foreign artificial cars are more fuel-efficient than ours?" Han Weichang said nonsense.

"Foreign artificial cars are indeed ours more fuel-efficient." Liu Zhifeng corrected Han Weichang's statement without tears. His family knew his family's affairs. In terms of automobiles, the quality of imported cars is indeed better, and Liu Zhifeng dared not say anything randomly.

However, he also understood what Han Weichang meant, that is, there was a lot of moisture in the quotation of foreign equipment. In contrast, the price of domestic products would appear to be more conscientious. Multi-station car-specific machine tools were not built in the past, and foreign companies were asking for prices in a skyrocketing manner. Now the temporary machine group has created the machine tools, or to be precise, they have the ability to produce the machine tools, and the price is only 50% of the imported machine tools, which is not surprising.

Liu Zhifeng also believes that if the multi-station car-specific machine tools of the TCM Group are real, and the technical level is not much worse than that of foreign countries, companies such as Ranye and Heimsat will definitely significantly reduce the price of products in order to maintain their share in the Chinese market. At that time, TCM will not dare to say that the price is only half of the import, and it can achieve 70% or 80%, which is enough to satisfy Liu Zhifeng.

"Let's do this, Mr. Han, I can't make the decision on this matter. I will report your situation to the group headquarters and let them judge. If you have any technical information, try to give it to me as much as possible. I will ask the technical department to study it carefully to see if your technical plan is credible." Liu Zhifeng said.

Han Weichang left a bunch of technical information and left. Liu Zhifeng did not dare to neglect it. He took the information to meet Mo Jingrong, the deputy general manager of the group in charge of technology and equipment, and reported the matter to him.

I heard that the Temporary Machinery Group could provide multi-station machine tools, Mo Jingrong also became interested and came to the technical department with Liu Zhifeng, asking the technical director Xu Mao to analyze the authenticity of the matter.

"From the information provided on the front, they did put some effort into saying that it is possible that they can build multi-station machine tools similar to Japan and Germany." Xu Mao said.

"What about the quality?" Mo Jingrong asked.

Xu Mao said: "In terms of quality, I think it's not too optimistic. Ranye and Heimsat have decades of experience in producing multi-station machine tools. Linji has never made such machine tools before. How can their quality be compared with Ranye and others?"

"The quality of products is still very important to the quality of products," said Liu Zhifeng. "During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the management of the factory leadership team of Linyi Machinery was chaotic, and the product quality was indeed a problem. Later, the Machinery Department sent Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng, who is now the general manager of the direct machine, to Linyi Machinery, and carried out a solid rectification. Since then, the quality of Linyi Machinery has been very reliable.

"Later, Linyi Machinery merged with Teng Machinery and established the Instant Machinery Group. The Instant Machinery Group attaches great importance to product quality and after-sales service, and is well-known in the industry. Although they have not built many station machine tools in the past, since they dare to sell it, I think they should have a clear understanding of the quality of the product."

"Old Liu, you can't speak based on your impression." Xu Mao said bluntly. Most of the people who work in technology are a bit arrogant, and they always feel that the people who work in sales and procurement are too merciless and not as pragmatic as those of them who work in technology. He said: "Multi-station machine tools are not traditional machine tools, and the difference between the two is very big. Even if you have some accumulation in traditional machine tools at the moment, you pay more attention to quality. Now you need to work in multi-station machine tools, it is inevitable that you are a little stretched.

"They don't necessarily ignore product quality on purpose. I'm afraid they themselves don't know how to control the quality of multi-station machine tools. They have never had any experience in successful application. How could they know what problems will arise with this kind of machine tool?"

"What does Mr. Xu mean?" Liu Zhifeng asked with some displeasure.

This made Xu Mao ask. He was stunned for a while, then looked at Mo Jingrong and asked, "Mr. Mo, what does the group mean?"

Mo Jingrong did not avoid it. He said: "In terms of temporary operation, they claimed that their machine tools are similar to those of Ranye's machine tools, but the price can be 50% lower than Ranye. The group is now very tight. If Fengmi's production line can save 200 million to 300 million yuan, it will be very important for the group."

"However, if the quality of the machine tool in the temporary machine is problematic, or the performance does not reach the level they claim, and it will affect Fengmei Auto's production in the future, and our losses will be greater." Xu Mao reminded.

Liu Zhifeng said: "Mr. Xu, you have never seen the design of the pre-machine. Why do you think their quality will be problematic? Is there any problem with the pre-machine? We can also check it when purchasing it. At the same time, we can also sign a quality assurance agreement with the pre-machine. If there are quality problems with their products in the future, they will be asked to compensate us for our losses."

"If this happens, our losses are not something they can afford to compensate." Xu Mao said stubbornly.

"On the opportunity, it is an old enterprise with a history of decades, and they are still very responsible in their work."

"I don't believe in any measure, I still believe in science."

"What is science? Will foreign machine tools not have problems? Believing in foreign countries means believing in science?"

"Foreign products are indeed more reliable, don't you admit it?"

"According to your opinion, the cars produced by our Puyi are no longer reliable?"
