Start with the aviation industry

Chapter 173 Not worthy of being my competitor
Waking up in the morning, Lin Feng went downstairs to have breakfast first.

It is definitely not suitable for such a big boss to live in a collective dormitory, and his half-mountain villa has not been done well, so he can only buy another house.

This three-bedroom apartment is a proper river-view room. When you open the window, you can see the vast and mighty Qingjiang River outside. Not far away is the Qingjiang Bridge, which has just been opened to traffic for less than a year.

Lin Feng's house is located in Hexi, but it is not far from the riverside and the bridge, a typical golden location.Originally, I wanted to rent a house, but when I thought about it, the house price is cheap at this time, so it must be a good deal to buy a house.

Especially the location here is good, Lin Feng moved out of the dormitory shortly after buying the house and moved in here.

After having a bowl of beef and rice noodles downstairs, Lin Feng drove to the Phoenix Factory instead of going to the design office as usual.

in the office.

Zhong Zimin, the representative of the general army, is sorting out his report materials. In a few days, he will go to the capital to report to the higher authorities.

Basically, it is a routine report once a month. Generally, there is no need to go there in person. It is enough to send the report materials and report over the phone. But since last month, he has to go to the capital to report in person, because the above are paying attention. The turboshaft engine of Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

Zhong Zimin has also been paying attention, the more he pays attention to this turboshaft engine, the happier he feels, everything is like a dream.

He has been working in the field of aero-engines for so many years, and he knows a lot about this industry, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation as Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

When writing this report in person, he wondered several times in his heart whether the higher-ups thought I was exaggerating.

Yes, with such progress, he was worried that the higher-ups would not believe the report.

"Xiao Ma, do you think we should go to Mr. Lin to check and see if the situation is as we know?"

Xiao Ma said, "It shouldn't be necessary, the situation we have is relatively accurate, and the deviation should not be too big."

"I hope the deviation is bigger, but what we learned is too unbelievable. How long has it been? Almost half of the design drawings have been drawn."

Xiao Ma said, "Besides these, the key is that every one of their design verifications passed smoothly, which is really unheard of."

Well design verification.

The pass rate is very low, often less than half of the pass rate. Because of the low pass rate of design verification, the entire design verification process is generally bumpy, and it takes several years, even five or eight years. Years are normal.

The two were chatting about these things when there was a knock on the door.

It was Lin Feng who opened the door and entered.

After seeing clearly who the visitor was, Zhong Zimin immediately became enthusiastic, "Boss Lin, it's really you, I'm still thinking about whether to visit you."

"Mr. Zhong is very polite. If you need anything, just give me a call. I'll be right over."

Zhong Zimin laughed.

Xiao Ma was also clever, seeing that the leader was so enthusiastic about Lin Feng's arrival, he quickly brewed two cups of hot tea and brought them over.

"Boss Lin, please sit down, please sit down."

After inviting Lin Feng to sit down on the sofa, Zhong Zimin also sat down, and the two chatted happily.

After chatting for a few words, Zhong Zimin said in admiration, "Mr. Lin, your progress is so fast. I heard that half of the design drawings have been completed."

Lin Feng nodded, "Yes, the drawing of the design drawings has been over halfway. In about half a year, all the design drawings will be completed, and then we will start the manufacture of the first verification machine."

what!
So soon to start the manufacture of the first demonstrator! ! !
Zhong Zimin was slightly stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked again after realizing it, "Boss Lin, you mean to start manufacturing the first verification machine in half a year."

Lin Feng said affirmatively, "Yes, in about half a year, we will start manufacturing the first verification machine."

Oh my God!

What a speed! ! !

Zhong Zimin was stunned again. He calculated in his mind time and time again the time when the first verification machine would start to be manufactured, and time and time again advanced the time. Even so, he thought it would take at least three years.

Now, it only takes half a year!

Xiao Ma was always by his side. He was also a military representative, and he couldn't help but asked, "President Lin, I don't understand one thing. After drawing the design drawings, why did you immediately start manufacturing the first verification machine?"

This is not scientific!
The whole process is not like this.

Of course Lin Feng understood what he meant, smiled slightly, and asked, "Representative Ma, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ma said, "After the design drawings are drawn, don't we carry out various design verifications, such as design verification of parts, design verification of components, design verification of unit cells, etc. It will take at least two or three years, or even longer Bar."

Lin Feng said: "The normal situation is indeed like this, but judging from the current design verification of a series of parts, there is nothing wrong with our design, so we decided to draw up the design drawings, immediately manufacture the verification machine, and directly proceed to the complete machine Verification of performance."

Whether it is the design verification of components or the design verification of each unit, they all serve the whole machine and are very time-consuming.

Lin Feng decided to greatly simplify this step.

Xiao Ma reminded, "However, if you directly start the manufacturing of the verification machine and directly conduct the verification of the whole machine, the risk is too great."

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "There is a risk, but I don't think it's a big deal. I'm even confident that our verification function will pass the one-time test run verification."

Xiao Ma wanted to say, this is impossible!

But thinking that so far, every design verification of Leihuo Technology Industry Group has been done once, without exception, he couldn't help laughing to himself.

Every time the design verification is passed, maybe the verification machine can also pass it at one time.

Zhong Zimin said, "If you take such a big step, you probably only dare to do it. Mr. Lin, just tell me the truth."

It was also Lin Feng's purpose to come here to explain the truth.

Zhong Zimin's request was just in line with Lin Feng's wishes, so he stopped talking and talked about his own plan.

"We will start manufacturing the components of the verification machine after half a year. About half a year should be enough time, and I am sure that the verification machine will pass at one time, and then the prototype will be tested. From now on, it will be two years later, and one year sooner. half, our turboshaft engine will enter low-volume production."

So fast!
Faster than expected! ! !
Zhong Zimin stood up and walked back and forth in the center of the office. If you look closely at his face, you can tell that there is a little excitement and excitement.

It has been revealed on the face, in fact, the excitement and excitement in the heart have reached the peak, otherwise, it would not have shown on the face.

After walking back and forth several times, Zhong Zimin stopped and asked seriously, "Boss Lin, how sure are you that you will enter small-batch production within two years?"

Lin Feng replied confidently, "I'm at least [-]% sure."

At this moment, Lin Feng still has some reservations. To be honest, he is at least [-]% sure.

The engine is designed systematically. Not only does it have a complete set of design drawings, but it also has detailed manufacturing, assembly and testing processes. Only with these things can Lin Feng be so confident.

Hearing Lin Feng said that he was [-]% sure, Zhong Zimin knew what he should do, nodded, and asked again, "In order to ensure that the verification machine will be produced within two years, what help do you need?"

Lin Feng felt a little joy in his heart.

Of course there is, and there are currently two very important things that need the help of the military.

Lin Feng said, "There are two things for the time being. The first is that a small number of spare parts needed for our verification machine need to be imported from abroad, mainly some electronic components, aviation bearings, etc. There are also some spare parts that need the help of domestic brothers to manufacture, Rest assured, we will provide the design drawings and manufacturing process for the parts that need to be manufactured.”

After finishing speaking, Lin Feng took out a list that he had prepared long ago.

The list is very detailed. The model and name of each part are clear. If it needs to be imported from abroad, the word "import" is specially marked, and even the name of the foreign manufacturer is written at the back. Generally, the names of two or three suppliers are written. .

Zhong Zimin took the list, looked at it and returned, "No problem, we should be able to do it."

Lin Feng quickly expressed his thanks and brought up the second matter.

"If there is no exception, our LH1500 turboshaft engine will start small-scale production within two years, but there is no domestic helicopter that matches it. I hope the military will take the lead in designing and developing a new helicopter project."

Zhong Zimin smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you put such a large satellite, we didn't expect it to be so fast. We were forced to go to Liangshan. Okay, I will report this matter to the higher authorities."

Designing and developing a new type of helicopter is not an easy task, and even Zhong Zimin worried that there is no such technical strength in China.

It is too difficult to design and develop a new type of helicopter within two years!
He did not agree, but said that he would report it to the higher authorities.

After chatting for another two or three ten minutes, Lin Feng stood up and said goodbye, quite satisfied with the result.

Before coming over, Lin Feng had also carefully considered that as long as Zhong Zimin reported the situation, it would be fine. For the design and development of a new helicopter, he could only wait for news.

After Lin Feng left, Zhong Zimin finally couldn't hold back the excitement on his face.

"Little Ma, did you hear that, it's exciting to enter small-batch production within two years!"

Xiao Ma said with a look of admiration, "As expected of Leihuo Technology and Industrial Group, their progress is far beyond our imagination."

"This turboshaft engine is what we hope for. With it, I'm sure our military will have more advanced armed helicopters and transport helicopters in the next few years, which will greatly improve the medium and low-altitude strike capabilities and transport capabilities."

After saying a few words, Zhong Zimin picked up the confidential phone on the table and dialed a number, and then said loudly with a little excitement, "Chief, I want to report to you about the new LH1500 turboshaft engine."

Beijing, International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The second International Machine Tool Show will be held here. The huge exhibition hall has completely changed its appearance, and there is a warm and festive atmosphere in the air.

In less than a week, the second machine tool exhibition will be opened here.

In exhibition area A-16, the CNC broaching machine exhibited by Leihuo Technology Industry Group has arrived here, and several workers are doing the final installation and debugging of the broaching machine under the guidance of technicians.

As expected of a category A exhibition area, the area is not small, the location is also excellent, and it is very eye-catching.

In addition to the final installation and commissioning of the broaching machine by the workers, the layout of the exhibition area is also in progress.

This work was outsourced to an advertising company. In Lin Feng's words, they were more professional and experienced.

Sure enough, judging from the current layout situation, it is very good, and the entire layout will be completed in three to five days.

Accompanied by He Hua, Lin Feng was walking towards this side, and the two were talking and laughing while walking.

"As expected of a newly built international convention and exhibition center, the area is really not small."

"Boss, a total of more than 200 companies participated in the exhibition. In addition to various machine tool equipment, there are also some companies related to machine tools, such as machine tool accessories companies, multiple cutting tool companies, etc."

Lin Feng said, "As for the broaching machine exhibitors, how many are there?"

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Lin Feng deeply understands this truth, and now he wants to know the situation of his competitors, so he asks.

He Hua said, "At least one company will exhibit a broaching machine, and it seems to be a CNC broaching machine."

"Oh, is it a foreign company or a domestic company?" Lin Feng was very interested immediately.

"It's a joint venture in the coastal area. Its name is 'Shifei International CNC Equipment Group'. Their exhibition area is Class B, which is not far from our exhibition area. You can even see their exhibition area."

"In addition to a CNC broaching machine on display, there are two other CNC equipment, all of which are CNC equipment, and there is no ordinary equipment."

After hearing He Hua's introduction, Lin Feng became somewhat interested in this company, waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look when we have time."

Less than a week before the start of the exhibition, many exhibitors have entered the venue and are making preparations for the exhibition.

Walking all the way, Lin Feng saw that at least [-]% to [-]% of the booths had already started to be decorated, and the machine tools for the exhibition were placed.

For domestic machine tool companies, ordinary equipment basically plays the leading role, and a small amount of numerical control equipment, and generally simple numerical control is the majority.

Foreign exhibitors are different, such as several Japanese machine tool manufacturers participating in the exhibition, they are basically CNC equipment.

It’s just that I don’t know the quality of these CNC equipment exhibited. Lin Feng estimated that most of them are of second-rate level. Given the urgency of the Japanese, the first-class CNC equipment may not be exhibited in the exhibition, and they are not willing to sell it to us.

"Hi boss."

"Mr. He, hello."

The two finally reached their own exhibition area, and the workers and technicians here immediately greeted them proactively.

Cai Wenhao also walked over quickly, "Leader, you really came here in person."

Lin Feng said, "How's the preparation going? When can our broaching machine start broaching the sample."

Cai Wenhao said, "In four or five days at most, the installation and commissioning of the broaching machine will be completed, and we will try to broach one or two samples."

Beside the broaching machine were placed some broaching samples and two sets of broaching knives, all of which were borrowed from the Phoenix Factory.

Hearing that these things should be exhibited in the exhibition, Wang Tianfang agreed without saying a word, so these things were transported to the capital together.

Lin Feng and He Hua looked at their booths, and they both looked satisfied. Cai Wenhao brought two technicians and four workers here, so they were very relieved.

Lin Feng said, "Mr. He, let's go around and take a look."

"Boss, let me show you the exhibition area of ​​Shifei International CNC Equipment Group."

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Among the equipment they exhibited was a CNC broaching machine, which made Lin Feng very interested in this competitor.

In less than 2 minutes, the two arrived next to the booth of Shifei International, and they didn't need to go inside the progress area. Standing outside the exhibition area could take in everything at a glance.

They are also doing the preparatory work before the exhibition. There are three sets of equipment in total, which almost crowded the entire exhibition area. The area of ​​the B-type exhibition area is much smaller than that of the A-type exhibition area.

One CNC machining center, one CNC lathe, one CNC broaching machine.

The three-axis CNC machining center does not look big, and it is estimated that the grade is not high, and the CNC lathe looks like a simple CNC.

Lin Feng just looked at the two machine tools for a while, and quickly focused on the CNC broaching machine.

This is also a horizontal broaching machine, but its size is almost half smaller than my own CNC broaching machine. The total length is about seven or eight meters, and the maximum stroke is estimated to be three or four meters.

The point is, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a simple CNC broaching machine.

"Boss, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "No need, it can be seen that it is not at the same level as our CNC broaching machine, so I can rest assured."

As for further understanding, it is completely unnecessary.

It is also completely relieved that it is not worthy of being called its own competitor.

There are only three or two famous broaching machine manufacturers in the world, because broaching machines are niche machine tools, not as extensive as lathes and drilling machines.

There are only a few powerful broaching machine manufacturers in the world. It is normal for them not to participate in the exhibition, and they probably don't want to sell such a good broaching machine to Huaxia.

After looking around, Lin Feng felt that in this year's International Machine Tool Show, as far as CNC broaching machines were concerned, he had almost no opponents.

This may be a good thing, it may be a bad thing.

Fortunately, there is no competitor, no one competes with oneself.

It is precisely because there are no competitors that some companies that need CNC broaching machines may also know this and will not set their sights on this International Machine Tool Show.

Lin Feng only stayed in the capital for one day. He mainly looked at the preparations for his exhibition area and walked around the entire exhibition hall to get acquainted with it. He took a plane back that evening.

There are still six or seven days before the opening of the exhibition. It is impossible to stay here all the time. Anyway, it will not take much time to go back by plane.

The only thing is that the air ticket is not cheap, but for Lin Feng, the pressure is not too great.

A few days later.

On Friday, April 1991, 5, the weather was fine.

The Second International Machine Tool Exhibition was grandly held in Beijing.
