Intelligent Industrial Empire

Chapter 544 Five-axis Machining Center (1)

"I heard that you are going to change your major to business management?" Yun Fei felt that today's old man's thinking jumped so that he could not keep up with the rhythm.

After the old man retires, he shouldn't be too busy to even know about changing his profession, right?

After thinking about it, Yun Fei felt that there was no need to lie to the old man. Although his major was appointed by the old man, the total time he had been attending classes in the school for the past two years would definitely not exceed half a month. If not for Duan Zhimin in the early stage of each exam If he outlines the key points of the exam, he can't even pass the exam.

I rarely go to school, it's impossible for the old man to not know!

"Yes, I have such an idea. I don't know what you always think. As a private boss, although there are professional managers to help manage the entire company, I think I have to know a little bit..." Instead of asking the old man It is better to say that he is testing the attitude of the father.

For the school, if it weren't really idle and boring, he would never go.

For the various studies of the September 1st Research Institute, some things he knew were basically done by Sun Lin, Deng Lanqing and others.

He was originally just an on-site technician in the mechanical production workshop, and he didn't know much about research. Even if he knew some advanced things, he heard or saw it. He really didn't know how to get it out.

There is a taste of Jiang Lang's talents, and perhaps he also knows this question, Sun Lin and others no longer ask him any questions.

At the same time, Yun Fei no longer speaks on all projects. After all, he knows a lot of things, and it is easy to mislead the people who really do research. Once this happens, the loss is not only his money, but also It's time.

"It's not bad to learn management. It's reassuring that your own business is still in your own hands." The old man was noncommittal about Yun Fei's statement and nodded.

"While you are young, learn more. Otherwise, when you want to learn in the future, you will rarely get away. How about the four axes of your Jiuyi Heavy Industry?" Yun Fei discovered that the old man's condition today is a bit different. Right.

In the past, when I was with the old man, I always talked about some family affairs. What was like today was always asking myself about business.

"The third prototype has just started production. If everything goes well together, the expected results will be achieved after assembly. Production will begin gradually in August. It is estimated that 20 units will be produced before..." Wandering outside the door, but with Dirk’s prototype on the side for the design and development team’s reference, and the four-axle cannot be produced yet, Jiuyi Heavy Industry will not have any major development.

Because of the obstruction of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, the foreign CNC equipment manufacturers that originally concentrated on China's investment and construction of factories during this period are still waiting and watching.

The three factories in Taiwan had to cut prices drastically in order to compete with the capital No. 1 and other factories that had acquired the production technology of 91 Heavy Industries. The smallest 850 processing center sold for less than 400,000 units, which was higher than the ones produced by 91 Heavy Industries. The price of the processing center has been lowered by 31 thousand units.

If there is no profit support from their local exports to the mainland, it is estimated that they will not be far from bankruptcy.

Dingsheng CNC, which has no headquarters support in Taiwan, is now mainly engaged in the trading of CNC equipment, selling cheap machining centers in mainland China to Southeast Asia and South Africa, and then importing European, American, and Japan's ordinary CNC equipment is sold as precision equipment to state-owned enterprises that only buy imported equipment.

"It is said that Taiwan's five-axis has made breakthrough progress. Perhaps this year we will be able to see their five-axis machining center at the International Machine Window Exhibition in China. Okay, it’s not too early. Take a look over there, I'll go to sleep..." After the old man finished speaking, he ignored Yunfei's astonishment and walked into the house with the help of the nanny.

Taiwan has a five-axis machining center!

The sudden news made Yun Fei stunned.

In his knowledge, the Taiwanese acquired the window milling business of the Italian third-rate CNC equipment manufacturer Sackman Group in the early 21st century, and owned Sackman Company and Landbetter Company under Sackman Group. (RAMBAUDI) After the window milling business of the two companies, four-axis and five-axis production technologies were obtained.

The 5-axis machining center of Lanbaodi is only a woodworking machine with poor rigidity!

Otherwise, from a turnover of 6 million euros in 1992 to more than 200 million euros in 2002, Sackman, whose turnover has soared after the acquisition of Lanbaodi, would not be able to sell their window milling business. .

The market price of a five-axis woodworking machine in China is 15 million yuan, which is 1.5 million euros, but such equipment can be produced by many companies in Europe, the United States and Japan, and the accuracy is far better than that of Italy. High, coupled with the fact that the Italian economy has been sluggish, the government almost went bankrupt, otherwise the Taiwanese would not have access to the production technology of the five-axis machining center.

A five-axis machining center is not like a four-axis machining center. As long as there is sufficient capital investment and sufficient technical accumulation, a breakthrough can be achieved.

The five-axis machining center is more than twice as technical as the four-axis machining center.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Yun Fei had no intention of going to the National Bank. If Taiwanese take the lead in launching a five-axis machining center on the mainland market, the efforts of Jiuyi Heavy Industry in these years will be wasted.

The advantage of obtaining national orders will soon be offset by the Taiwanese five-axis machining center.

Whether it is aerospace or precision manufacturing industries, China does not have any five-axis machining centers, and the number of four-axis machining centers is not very large. You can imagine how big the market is.

This is a much larger order than the national order received by Jiuyi Heavy Industry.

As long as such a god-defying artifact appears on the Chinese market, the country will purchase it on a large scale even if it sells iron!

"You guys, I'm convening a meeting today. It's mainly because I got the news that Taiwanese already have or will have a five-axis machining center. The specifics of the linkages are not clear. It is not clear where their technology came from! It’s probably from Italy..." As soon as Yun Fei returned to Rongcheng, regardless of the fact that it was past nine o’clock in the evening, he directly convened the senior management of the group company, the senior management of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, and the mechanical test workshop of the Jiuyi Research Institute. The persons in charge have a meeting together.

"How is it possible? Don't Taiwanese people even have four-axis technology now?" Wu Zhongda was the first to believe in Yun Fei's words.

This thing is a bit like a fantasy.

People in the entire world know that for the sake of their own interests, Taiwanese, except for weapons and equipment that will not be smuggled to the mainland, production technologies such as four-axis and five-axis, their masters, the Japanese and Americans, guard against them!

"Anyway, the information I got is like this." Yun Fei also didn't believe this was the truth.

But the old man didn't need to lie to him.

It is very likely that Taiwanese are requesting orders for five-axis machining centers from the mainland government.

A few five-axis machining centers almost bankrupted the entire Toshiba company. The former Soviet Union tried so hard to get only a few. You can imagine how lethal this thing is.

For cutting-edge manufacturing industries such as aerospace, steam turbines, etc., without a five-axis machining center, it is impossible to get much development.

In the field of cutting-edge manufacturing, materials are the foundation and manufacturing technology is the key!

China’s fighter jets are not good, civil aviation airliners are even blank, and the number of strategic missiles is small. All this is due to the lack of cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities.

"Boss, where did this information come from?" Myron also knows that the center of the entire group company is the production and sales of CNC equipment of Jiuyi Heavy Industry. Once Jiuyi Heavy Industry's machining center business shrinks, the next step for the entire group company All plans have to be put on hold.

Myron knew that he would not have another thirty years!

"I won’t say anything about the source of intelligence. But this news is absolutely true. Even if the Taiwanese don’t grasp it now, it is estimated that they will get five-axis production technology in the near future. Although they are all small five-axis woodworking machines, they For China, which has few four axes, this has enough seductive and deceptive power! "All of you present here are understanding people.

"It's impossible for us to make breakthrough progress in a short time or something." With all white hair, Sun Lin said dissatisfiedly when he heard Yun Fei's words.

Since entering Jiuyi Heavy Industry, almost all of his time has been spent on the research of CNC machine windows, not only him, but all the technicians and engineers of the mechanical project of the Jiuyi Research Institute, except for a few breaks during the New Year. God, there is no weekend rest at all, I just talk about it, and even work overtime at night.

Finally, the four-axis machining center is about to be produced in batches. Yunfei, the boss, unexpectedly proposed to solve the technical problem of the five-axis machining center in a short time.

"Lao Sun, you are misunderstood. I didn't force us to win the five-axis production technology as soon as possible. I just called everyone to discuss how we should deal with it now!" Sun Lin is already in his 70s, and Yun Fei doesn't want to It puts too much pressure on this old man who has given up his life.

The entire country has made breakthroughs in five-axis machining centers only after the first decade of the 21st century has passed. It took him more than 30 years to complete it in just a few years. The thing is undoubtedly idiotic.

"Boss, I think we should first understand the specific situation before discussing countermeasures. If our competitors really get the technology from Italy, we can't get it from Germany, the United States, or Japan. We can also produce it in some third-rate equipment in Europe. The factory gets the technology..." How serious is the high-end technology in Europe and the United States for blocking mainland China, how can the senior manager of the German Machinery Manufacturing Group not know how?

"For example?" Since I can't research it at the moment, I can buy it. It's not bad. Otherwise, Taiwanese use the five-axis machining center as a threat and bundle the three-axis machining center for sale. Jiuyi Heavy Industry will want to get an order from a state-owned factory again. But it's harder than reaching the sky.

“Spain’s economy has been sluggish in recent years. Their companies such as Bemag, Nicolas, and Varisti have introduced the most basic five-axis machining center production technology from Dirk. Now the entire European economy is in a recession. , Even if Nicholas, the largest heavy equipment manufacturer in Spain, has a year’s sales of less than 300 million euros, their debt-to-asset ratio is as high as 83%..." Myron’s words immediately made the meeting room gloomy. Yang Guangming became charming inside.

"However, the production technology of the five-axis machining center in Spain is not very good. Even the best five-axis machining center produced by the best Nicolas is not much better than the Italian company..." For the production technology of the whole Europe, The whole world could not find a few people who knew better than Myron.

"Myron, can we really buy a Spanish CNC equipment manufacturer?" Yun Fei rubbed his hands with excitement.

In his world, some trading companies secretly controlled by the mainland government wanted to seek to acquire some equipment manufacturing plants in Europe that went bankrupt in the financial crisis, but they have not been successful. Europeans who are now very familiar with Europe told him, September 1 How can he not be excited about the acquisition of Heavy Industries?

"Spain's finances have not been very good!" Mellen said to Yun Fei in response.

Theoretically speaking, any Chinese machinery company purchasing machinery factories in Europe and the United States will involve the local government. If the company has some equipment or technology that is forbidden to be exported to mainland China, the Chinese will either give up or impose the embargo on China. The equipment and technology are separated and then acquired by the Chinese.

If there is no technology, no key equipment, who wants to be that stupid head to buy the shell of a company?

The Chinese are not buying European and American companies for the market. The Chinese market is enough for them to toss.

Most of it is for technology!

"Even if we cannot bring back Spanish production technology immediately, but as long as Taiwanese export five-axis machining centers to the mainland, the world's five-axis embargo on China will be invalidated, even if the five-axis machining centers produced by the factories we acquired in Spain The whole machine cannot be shipped back to China. For the core production technology of some key components, we can send our engineers to the Spanish factory..." Myron’s words made the eyes of Sun Lin and others start to shine.

As long as you have mastered the core technology of key components and used China's huge copycat capabilities to produce a five-axis machining center and continuously improve its accuracy, it is definitely better than crossing the river by feeling the stones. Together, it depends on money and time. ,too much.

"Mr. Myron, this matter, please!" Even the most low-end five-axis production base in the entire world is currently urgently needed by Jiuyi Heavy Industry.

..................................

"Peng Dong, are things going on in Italy?" In the two years since entering mainland China, Wang Ziqing’s Taiyu Seiki has not even recovered its initial investment, and Taichung Seiki’s technology has not been completely unreserved. give him.

Even the processing centers produced by Taichung Precision Machinery are not exported to mainland Chinese at all!

Their production and processing centers are among the most accurate and efficient equipment in Taiwan.

If the Chinese want to buy, it is simply impossible. They export to the processing center in mainland China, and only Taiwanese who have factories in mainland China can buy it!

It is precisely because of their persistence that Taichung Seiki will gradually decline. After entering the 21st century, it will be overthrown by the rising Wanyou Group, and it will not recover...

"Negotiating now. Xiao Wang, how do you think about the merger of our two factories in mainland China that I said?" The two years in mainland China made Peng Zhi ten years old!

After losing the mainland's official purchase order the year before last, Wanyou Group started negotiations on the acquisition of Lambodi.

Originally last year, the Italian government in the economic downturn was already interested, because Taiwan’s staff are all blue, not to move the entire factory's production capacity to China, but to start production in Italy, and finally export the equipment. To the Asian market.

The Chinese market is the market with the largest demand for CNC equipment in the entire world. After decades of development in most industrial powers in Europe and America, the demand for CNC equipment has basically been saturated. If old equipment is not eliminated, there will be no A new order is generated.

Unlike mainland China, the global economy is in a recession, and this country is still telling development!

However, such a huge market is monopolized by top manufacturing companies such as Germany, the United States, Japan, and Switzerland. Although the CNC equipment they export to mainland China is not as good as their production, they don't recognize the Italian brand at all!

Just as the Wanyou Group was about to complete the acquisition, Sackman, who had suddenly emerged in Italy, stepped in. They also wanted to acquire Lan Budti, which had lost money for two years.

This made Peng Zhidan hurt.

The originally prepared 20 million euros could not cope with the Lan Budi shareholders who had started from the ground up. However, because the Wanyou Group had not recovered its investment in mainland China, Peng Zhi had to bring in Wang Ziqing, who has a background in Taichung Precision Machinery. .

"Peng Dong, my factory is very sluggish now..." Although Wang Ziqing was very moved by Peng Zhi's proposal, he did not want his efforts to become others' wedding dresses.Even though, Peng Zhi gave him very generous terms.

"It's okay, Xiao Wang, this is just a proposal. Look at this, the three of us will gather the window milling business to form a new factory, CNC car business, or do our own things..." Peng Zhi knows, now To increase investment in mainland factories, those on the board of directors will definitely not agree, and banks will not agree to loans. Only by integrating the Taiwan Machine Window Association's factories in the mainland can they have a chance to turn over.

With the support of many mainland state-owned enterprises, Jiuyi Heavy Industry is developing too fast!

After losing the foundry of Capital One Machine, Peng Zhi originally planned to put all the spare parts production in Taiwan, but the logistics cost was too high. In the end, he had to persuade the board of directors to develop some supporting factories in the mainland.
