Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

After returning to the factory conference room, He Jianye hosted a small-scale symposium on carburizing process applications. In addition to the main factory office leaders and technical personnel, Ren Jie was also invited to participate in the symposium.

Seeing He Jianye sitting at the head of the conference table without hesitation, Ren Jie realized that a big shot was coming from above, so he obediently found a seat in the corner and sat down.

After He Jianye exchanged a few brief greetings, Wu Kai took the lead and said emotionally: "To be honest, on the way to Jiangcheng Machinery Factory, I still felt that the new process you reported was a bit exaggerated, because I have seen such things too many times, and I asked for funds from above. Every one of them beat their chests loudly. When you asked him for technical results, he would either say nothing or pour out his frustrations. Jiangcheng Machinery Factory moved me! They didn’t ask for a penny of funding or technical support from above. This arduous task was completed silently. All the technical parameters of the gears produced were qualified, and the yield rate exceeded 99%..."

Wu Kai pressed his hands to stop everyone's applause and continued: "The carburizing process perfectly solves the problem of incompatibility between the surface hardness and core toughness of the workpiece. If this new technology is promoted throughout the system, on this basis, On the other hand, the technical problems of bearings, balls, machine tool milling machine cutter heads, rotary tillage blades and other loss-type important accessories will be easily solved. This is of epoch-making significance especially for a country like ours where basic materials and process performance are lagging behind! So my opinion is to solve the problem as soon as possible. This craft is being promoted to the whole system and even the whole country!”

Ye Anbang winked at Zhou Xiaohan. Zhou Xiaohan is a technical geek. If you ask him to talk about technical matters, he can speak clearly and logically. But if you ask him to refute the opinions of his superiors, he has never done this before, but he still has to. He stood up and said: "Deputy Director He and Director Wu, our entire factory staff have spent a lot of effort and worked day and night to develop this technology. Isn't it unfair to just promote it to the entire system in vain? "

Wu Kai frowned and retorted: "The whole country is playing a game of chess, so don't have sectionalism! Only by raising the technical level of the entire industry can we improve our overall manufacturing level! Just your Jiangcheng Machinery Factory has the leading technology, you can take over the whole country Can all the gears that businesses need be manufactured?”

Zhou Xiaohan was speechless. He looked at Ye Anbang with pleading eyes, and then turned to look at Ren Jie. However, Ren Jie was just pretending to be dead. He had already found out that the two people who just spoke were senior officials of the Ministry of Machinery. Without knowing anything about them, Zhou Xiaohan was speechless. How dare you be so presumptuous before your character!

Seeing that He Jianye was a bit cold, he smiled and asked everyone to express their opinions, but no one dared to express different opinions. This is a big leader, how can he disobey others!

He Jianye had no choice but to give orders personally. He looked at Ren Jie in the corner and said with a smile: "Little comrade, didn't you just say something very good in the workshop? Please say a few words."

Ren Jie stood up and smiled bitterly: "I didn't know you were a big leader just now, how dare you say it again now!"

"Just say what you really think. It doesn't matter if you are wrong. This is an informal symposium. Everyone can express their opinions. What we want is different voices!"

Encouraged by He Jianye, Ren Jie stood up and said: "I agree with Director Wu's opinion. Promoting the new carburizing process throughout the system can indeed improve the manufacturing level of the entire industry in the short term and make up for our shortcomings in basic materials! "

Ye Anbang and Zhou Xiaohan looked at each other, who is this kid from?It was you who encouraged us to block new technologies, and it was you who "rebeled" at the critical moment...

Amid the doubts of everyone in the machinery factory, Ren Jie changed the topic and continued: "However, from a long-term development perspective, any new technology should not be promoted for free. This will breed lazy people's thinking. Imagine if most companies If you can get new technologies for nothing, who will invest a lot of manpower and material resources in research and development? And companies that invest in research and development will not get technological dividends even if they develop new technologies. Instead, they will be in trouble because they invest too much in research and development. If things go on like this, who will still focus on technological updates? It is inevitable that bad money will drive out good money. I am by no means alarmist. This is fatal to the long-term healthy development of the entire machinery industry!"

He Jianye, Wu Kai and others looked solemn after what they said. Ren Jie continued: "Take the carburizing process as an example. It is not difficult to understand the logic. The difficulty lies in getting the best heat treatment data. You need to Thousands of experiments and good luck can only be achieved. Under the Western intellectual property protection system, if a company achieves a breakthrough technological achievement, they can use the patent protection period of this achievement to invest in research and development costs. Earning hundreds or even thousands of times back will virtually stimulate more companies to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in technological transformation and research and development, forming a virtuous cycle."

Wu Kai asked in confusion: "But our national conditions are different. All enterprises belong to the state, and the research and development expenses invested also belong to the state. Shouldn't the new technologies obtained also belong to the state?"

Ren Jie was about to blurt out: It is this kind of big pot system that makes the technological gap between us and the West widen... Suddenly he remembered that it is still 76. If he really said this, it would be like thundering on the ground, and the consequences would not be for him A young educated youth can afford it!

After Ren Jie pondered for a moment, he said in a tactful way: "Of course, under the public ownership economic system, enterprises are owned by the state, but as a relatively independent legal entity, the benefits of an enterprise are directly linked to the interests of the majority of employees. To protect enterprises from enjoying the technological dividends of their own research and development is to protect their enthusiasm for production. Under this new technology dividend protection mechanism, those who run to ministries and commissions all day long and return funds are used for enterprises other than production, because their products are backward. It is bound to be eliminated by the market, and a healthy competition of survival of the fittest will form within the entire system!"

He Jianye said worriedly: "What should we do with those companies whose technologies are relatively backward?"

Ren Jie confidently said: "With backward technology, we can provide upstream companies with supporting products within their capabilities, such as preliminary rough machining of gears, or accessories with relatively low requirements. Of course, due to the lack of technical content, labor costs will be relatively low. After learning from the painful experience, they have no choice but to catch up and improve their technical level, otherwise they will not be able to escape the fate of being eliminated!"

He Jianye smiled bitterly and said: "But what about the millions of industrial workers behind these backward enterprises? The country can't just ignore it, right? Behind every worker and master is a family."
