Start with the aviation industry

Chapter 178 Aviation Bearings Are Short Boards

Of course Zhong Zimin and the others knew about these things.

Two days ago, he was a little surprised when he read the relevant reports about Leihuo Technology Industry Group in this International Machine Tool Exhibition in the newspaper, and then the newspapers in the next few days had reports, so he was happy for Lin Feng and the others.

"Mr. Zhong, you have heard about us."

"I heard that it has been reported in newspapers and TV stations. It is really remarkable that you earned nearly 1000 billion US dollars in foreign exchange through exports."

Lin Feng smiled modestly.

Zhong Zimin asked some information about this year's International Machine Tool Exhibition, and Lin Feng answered them one by one, and then he took the initiative to mention the progress of the design of this turboshaft engine.

"Mr. Zhong, the design of the turboshaft engine is progressing very quickly. We will be able to complete all the design drawings before the National Day, and then we will start to manufacture the parts of the verification machine."

After listening to Lin Feng's progress introduction, Zhong Zimin was surprised, which was slightly earlier than what Lin Feng reported to him more than a month ago.

"Mr. Zhong, what happened to the imported purchase parts we need, and how long will it take for all of them to arrive?"

There are a few parts that need to be imported, because the domestic industrial level is not yet able to manufacture these parts.

Fortunately, this turboshaft engine was designed systematically, not only fully considering the level of domestic aviation materials, but also fully considering the level of the domestic aviation industry.

In other words, the localization rate of this turboshaft engine is very high, but limited to the level of the domestic aviation industry, it is still impossible to achieve 100% localization. Can.

Now, there are a few parts that need to be imported from abroad.

There are also some parts that require the help of brother units to manufacture. Although some parts cannot be manufactured in China for the time being, the domestic aviation industry system is still relatively complete. There should be no problem entrusting these parts to other units for manufacturing.

Zhong Zimin said, "The parts you proposed to be manufactured have been arranged to various factories, and some design drawings have also been sent out. There may be some problems with imported parts."

Lin Feng was a little worried, and asked, "If you have any questions, just speak up."

Zhong Zimin said, "It's mainly because of the types of bearings that you need to import. European and American countries have clearly stated that they will not sell them. There is a company in Japan that is willing to sell them, but the price is very high, and the supply volume of the other party is also very small. We will only place a maximum of two for the time being." Taiwan orders."

Aviation bearings, this is the ceiling of the bearing industry.

Enterprises that can manufacture aviation bearings are all top bearing enterprises, and they must have very strong technical strength.

China can also manufacture aviation bearings, but there is still a long way to go compared with top bearing companies in Europe, America and Japan.

For example, turboprop six has achieved localization of bearings at present, but the service life is only [-] hours. If the engine is returned to the factory for overhaul, all the bearings will have to be replaced again.

The life of the LH1500 turboshaft engine is 3000 hours in the first turnaround period, that is to say, there must be bearings that can meet the service life of 3000 hours at least.

There is really no such a long service life in China at present. Maybe in another ten years or so with the improvement of the quality of domestic bearings, there will be such bearings at that time.

If you don't have it now, you can only import it.

Lin Feng pondered for a while, and then sighed softly after a long time, "It's more expensive, it's okay to order two sets first."

Zhong Zimin is more worried, "This Japanese company is willing to buy it for us now. I worry that when they know that these bearings are used in our turboshaft engine, they may change their minds and stop buying them for us."

Lin Feng sighed, "It's really uncomfortable to be controlled by others. Let's buy two sets first, and I will figure out a way later."

What can I do?

It's very simple, since it is so difficult to import such high-end aviation bearings, and the supply may be cut off at any time, then manufacture them yourself.

The technical information provided by the system not only includes a complete set of design drawings, but also a complete set of very detailed process information.

There are not only the manufacturing process data of each part, but also the manufacturing process data of these bearings.

Lin Feng has read several professional books on bearings, and he is no stranger to the manufacturing process of bearings. He knows that the bearing manufacturing process provided by the system is very good, and he should be able to manufacture these bearings in China.

After talking about imported spare parts, especially imported aviation bearings, Lin Feng asked about the second matter.

"Mr. Zhong, within two years at the most, our turboshaft engine will enter the stage of small-batch production. What about the supporting helicopters that are needed? Is the higher-ups planning to start a project to design and develop them?"

Zhong Zimin shook his head with a wry smile.

"Mr. Lin, even if you don't mention this matter, I still have to tell you. I've brought it up for more than a month, but the situation is not optimistic."

"The time is too tight. It is almost impossible to design and develop a helicopter matching this turboshaft engine within two years. If it is four or five years, it is still possible."

That's it.

Lin Feng thought in his heart, it seems that he overestimated the technical level of domestic helicopter design and development. After all, they did not open it, and the time of four or five years is very normal, and it can even be regarded as a very fast speed.

"Mr. Zhong, I understand. If this is the case, our Leihuo Technology Industrial Group will design and develop it ourselves."

what!
You can even design and develop your own helicopters! ! !

Zhong Ziming was stunned, and then looked surprised, "Mr. Lin, is this true? You really have the technical strength to design and develop helicopters."

If someone else said in front of him that he could design and develop helicopters, Zhong Zimin would definitely slap him in the face, MMP, your bragging is too outrageous.

But this person is Lin Feng, so the situation is completely different. The design of the world-class turboshaft engine is almost completed, and it will enter small-batch production within two years. Zhong Zimin really thinks that Lin Feng is not bragging.

Lin Feng smiled confidently, "Let's try it first, I am confident in designing and manufacturing this helicopter."

Perhaps feeling the confidence of Lin Feng, Zhong Zimin suddenly became interested, and asked curiously, "Mr. Lin, can you tell us what kind of helicopter you will design and manufacture?"

Lin Feng smiled, "We will design and manufacture whatever helicopters the military needs."

Zhong Zimin said, "The development of armed helicopters is too difficult, and we have Wuzhijiu for the time being. I personally suggest that we can design and manufacture general-purpose transport helicopters first, and then design and develop armed helicopters after we have accumulated some technology."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Zimin changed the subject, "However, this is purely my personal opinion. I will report the specific situation to the higher authorities to make the decision."

Lin Feng said, "It is true that the decision should be made by the higher authorities, then I will wait for your news."

What kind of helicopter to design and manufacture, Lin Feng is not going to make up his own mind, but order from above.

It said what kind of helicopter is needed, so he can design and manufacture the helicopter himself. As for whether the design and manufacture can be successful, Lin Feng is not worried at all, we have a system, and it will take a little time at most, and the system design will be fine.

After sitting here and chatting, Lin Feng got up to say goodbye, and drove back to Hexi's office by himself.

After sitting down in the office, what Lin Feng thought about was the aviation bearings needed for this turboshaft engine. If someone really got stuck and cut off the supply, it would be uncomfortable. Lin Feng didn't want such a situation to happen.

In his mind, there was a whole set of technical materials about the manufacturing of these bearings. Sitting on the office chair, Lin Feng took a rough look at these technical materials.

A product produced by the system must be a high-quality product. This is an iron rule.

The process technology of bearing manufacturing is very detailed, and the process method is also pioneering, which can completely apply for international patents, which is completely different from the manufacturing method of aviation bearings that are widely used now.

Such a pioneering aviation bearing manufacturing process should not be wasted. Lin Feng originally planned to use this process to manufacture top-level aviation bearings when the conditions are ripe in the future. Now it seems that this plan has to be advanced.

If you build a factory by yourself, there is not enough time and it is very troublesome, especially professional technical personnel are needed, and the factory also needs management personnel.

If you can buy a ready-made bearing manufacturing plant, then everything will be much easier.

With such a plan in mind, Lin Feng picked up the phone on his desk and called the group office directly, "Director Ding, come here."

Ding Haixia, director of the group office, came over immediately, and said very respectfully, "Boss, what are your orders?"

Lin Feng confessed, "I want to buy a professional bearing manufacturing factory. The scale is smaller, and the technology is almost irrelevant, but there must be a group of professional technicians and management personnel."

Ding Haixia said, "Okay, I'll do it now."

After watching Ding Haixia leave, Lin Feng did not stay idle. He took out the blank paper, picked up the pen and the size, and began to write out the manufacturing process of these bearings in his mind.

The system is very good, but at least it is not good. The technical information instilled in Lin Feng's mind must be written or drawn by Lin Feng, or instructed by others to draw.

In the next few days, Lin Feng's main job was to compile the technical data of these bearings, and by the way, he would also guide the designers in their design work.

A week later, Lin Feng basically compiled the technical materials of these bearings, with rich pictures and texts, two thick books with dozens of pages.

Every process is very clear, the characters are standard imitation Song characters written by Lin Feng himself, and every process drawing is also drawn by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked through it again, and there was basically no problem. It was almost exactly the same as the crafting document in his mind, and there was almost no difference in a single word.

After there was no problem, Lin Feng bound these craft materials into two copies himself, and put them in the drawer of his desk.

Two days later.

Ding Haixia knocked on the door of Lin Feng's office, came in with a piece of investigation material in her hand, and reported: "Boss, I did a research on the matter you explained, and found a total of five bearing companies. Here are their materials."

Lin Feng took these materials and looked through them. The introduction of each bearing company is relatively detailed. Two of them are state-owned enterprises, which belong to small bearing companies with relatively small scale and poor management, and the other three are private companies.

In the end, Lin Feng set his sights on this small company called "Hanhai Bearing Co., Ltd."

These companies are small in scale, with only a few dozen people including bosses, technicians, managers, workers, etc. They have been established for less than three years, and their addresses are located in Shenhai City, a window city for reform and opening up.

Lin Feng carefully read the information of this bearing company, and then asked, "Director Ding, what's the situation with Hanhai Bearing Co., Ltd."

Ding Haixia said, "This is a small private enterprise. The founder Xiao Xunhua is a doctor of returnees. He started the business together with several friends of his. But now the company is in trouble, and a Japanese bearing company plans to acquire it. There has been no agreement between the two parties, and the conditions proposed by the two parties are quite different.”

After listening to Ding Haixia's detailed introduction, Lin Feng was a little moved. This small business is not bad, especially the founder is a returnee with a doctorate degree.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng ordered, "Book a ticket to Shenhai City, you go there with me, and by the way, call Hu Xiaoxiao too."

Ding Haixia is a lesbian. Although she is in her thirties, Lin Feng doesn't want to tell others what to say behind his back. If he invites Hu Xiaoxiao together, the situation will be different.

"Okay, boss."

Although I was a little surprised that the boss wanted to go to Shenhai City in person, Ding Haixia didn't ask any questions, she agreed, and immediately went to book a ticket and inform Hu Xiaoxiao.

Within a few minutes, Hu Xiaoxiao opened the door and came in.

"Master, we are really going to Shenhai City."

"Of course, do you want to visit Shenhai City?"

"I definitely want to go. It's a window city for China's reform and opening up. I've wanted to visit it for a long time."

"Then pack up your things, maybe we will leave tomorrow morning, and we will fly there together."

Shenhai City, Hanhai Bearing Co., Ltd.

In the office, Xiao Xunhua frowned slightly, feeling a little bad.

At the beginning, he was full of ambition and founded this company after returning from abroad. He planned to use his professional knowledge to do a big job in the bearing field, but he never expected that the market competition would be so fierce.

Their factory mainly manufactures all kinds of bearings for automobiles. The market for this type of bearings is relatively large, but there are also many companies that manufacture this type of bearings, especially the influx of foreign manufacturers, which puts a lot of pressure on Xiao Xunhua.

In less than three years, Hanhai Bearing Co., Ltd. has gone from bad to worse. If there is no large amount of capital injection, it is estimated that it will be difficult to last for a long time.

A month ago, a Japanese bearing manufacturer showed great interest in Hanhai Bearing Co., Ltd., because this Japanese company needs a company like Hanhai to enter the domestic bearing market.

As long as they acquire Hanhai Bearing Co., Ltd., they will be able to obtain domestic production and manufacturing capabilities at once, and even some procedures are much simpler. What they fancy is not the size and strength of Hanhai, but this company. With this "shell", there will be a powerful springboard to enter the domestic market.

"Boss, Kazuo Yamamoto and the others have arrived."

This is the third round of negotiations between the two parties. The previous two negotiations failed to achieve substantive results, and the conditions offered by the two parties were too different.

Xiao Xunhua sighed softly, got up and said, "Come on, let's talk to Kazuo Yamamoto again and see what conditions they can offer."

Xiao Xunhua and his three business partners, a total of four people sat in the conference room with Kazuo Yamamoto and his party of five, and started the third round of negotiations.

The two sides will soon enter the substantive stage. After all, the previous two rounds of negotiations have already been completed, so there is no need to beat around the bush.

It can be said that Kazuo Yamamoto went straight to the point, or it could be said that he was trying to see what he wanted, and finally showed their fierce fangs.

"Mr. Xiao, we can add up to 10 yuan to the asking price, and you can keep 20.00% of the equity."

Xiao Xunhua said firmly, "No, we must at least hold a controlling stake. You can only raise money instead of buy it, and the amount of financing must be at least 500 million yuan."

The Japanese want to use 300 million to acquire this company. As the founding team, Xiao Xunhua and his three entrepreneurial partners retain a maximum of 20.00% of the equity.

Xiao Xunhua's premise is financing, not acquisition. His own team must have a controlling stake, and the other party's financing should be at least 500 million yuan.

The gap is still very large.

Kazuo Yamamoto smiled coldly and said in a threatening tone, "Mr. Xiao, think about it carefully. If you refuse our request, it will bring serious consequences to your company."

Undoubtedly, this is to suppress Hanhai Bearing Co., Ltd.

Competing in the same industry, if your capital is strong enough, your market share is high enough, and your quality and technology are superior, then it is easy to suppress the disadvantaged peers, and there are ways.

Xiao Xunhua understood what the other party's threat meant, and he felt a little angry, "Mr. Yamamoto, you are threatening us."

Kazuo Yamamoto smiled, "You can understand it this way. I suggest that you still agree to our conditions. At least you can retain 20.00% of the equity and a certain amount of funds will be recorded. If your company really goes bankrupt, you will end up with nothing. Get it, and probably owe a lot of debt.”

"That's our business, don't worry about Mr. Yamamoto." Xiao Xunhua was more stubborn, and waved his hand, "Since this is the case, then there is no need for us to talk, see off!"

After sending Kazuo Yamamoto and others away, and returning to his office, Xiao Xunhua still felt angry, but he also knew that his situation was getting more and more dangerous, and it might really be difficult to last for a long time.

Lin Feng, Hu Xiaoxiao, Ding Haixia, and Wei Bing got off the plane and arrived in Shenhai City.

Considering that this time it was a commercial acquisition or commercial financing, Lin Feng still brought Wei Bing, the head of the legal department, and he is a professional in this regard.

After leaving the airport, we took a taxi to the hotel.

Ding Haixia is good. She has arranged the whole itinerary and booked the hotel in advance. It is a good four-star hotel.

When he arrived in Shenhai City, Lin Feng clearly felt that compared with this city, Fenghuang City was not far behind at 01:30.
