Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Yang Mo didn't point it out and said with a smile: "Since you two are friends of Director He, if you need any instructions, as long as I, Yang Mo, can do it, I will definitely do it for you... "

Hong Tao pondered for a moment and then said: "We are from the Northwest Heavy Machinery Factory. Some of our heavy equipment's spindles and booms require high-strength alloy steel. I heard from Lao He that Zhiyuan has several high-strength alloy steel patents. So I came here specifically to purchase some suitable special steel materials..."

Yang Mo turned around and went out, brought in a product catalog, and handed it to Hong Tao: "Mr. Hong, these are the technical parameters of several high-strength alloy steels produced by our Zhiyuan Steel Company. See if there are any models suitable for your use!"

Hong Tao and Wang Haiyang took the product catalog and looked at it carefully. About half an hour later, Hong Tao and Wang Haiyang looked at each other, then looked up at Yang Mo and asked: "Mr. Yang, have all these steels been mass-produced? Is it right?" Can they all meet the technical parameters marked on the data?”

Yang Mo nodded: "Of course!"

"What are the prices of these high-strength alloy steels?" Hong Tao continued to ask.

Yang Mo replied: "The last page of the product catalog has quotations for various types of steel. Mr. Hong can choose the one with the best price/performance ratio based on his own needs!"

Hong Tao took one look at the quotation and his heart sank. The further down he looked, the deeper his heart sank...

As a professional technician, Hong Tao is aware of the high price of high-strength alloy steel. Although he has been mentally prepared for a long time, the price of tens of thousands/ton in the product catalog is still beyond his tolerance...

Hong Tao still held a trace of luck and asked: "Is this price in Hong Kong dollars?"

Yang Mo smiled and said: "It's US dollars! The price is indeed a bit expensive, but it not only contains expensive rare metal elements, but also the research and development expenses diluted in it..."

After Hong Tao and Wang Haiyang whispered for a while, they pointed to the high-carbon chromium high-temperature bearing steel in the product catalog and said: "Mr. Yang, we need about 100 tons of this type of steel. When can it be delivered? Can the price be improved? A little more favorable? As you know, our foreign exchange reserves are a little tight..."

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "The delivery date is not a big issue. The key is that the purchase quantity of high-temperature resistant bearing steel is relatively small because of its high price. With such a large quantity, you will definitely be subject to strict investigation by the Export Control Bureau. This new material that can be used for military purposes, like the five-axis CNC machining center, has always been a key area of ​​control in the "Batumi Agreement"..."

Hong Tao frowned and asked tentatively: "Mr. Yang, do you think this can be done? We sign a purchase contract in the name of ordinary steel, and Zhiyuan Steel Company will change the batch number for this batch of steel. Maybe the Export Control Bureau will not find it! "

This was also the usual means of re-export trade in the Mainland through Xiangjiang at that time. With the help of patriotic merchants in Xiangjiang, they secretly introduced many scarce supplies and controlled new materials and advanced equipment. The Mainland government also reciprocated. After the reform and opening up, these patriotic people were given The generous treatment of businessmen is a good interpretation of the essence of traditional Chinese culture that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring of water!

But Yang Mo can't take this risk. Unlike the patriotic businessmen in Xiangjiang whose main businesses are real estate, light industrial trade, and commercial retail, Zhiyuan holds a number of patents that are beyond this era. Once Western countries get hold of them, they will not do anything. Do not hesitate to plunder Zhiyuan's technological achievements in the name of sanctions.

These Westerners who talk about fairness and justice and preach the protection of intellectual property rights and the spirit of contract will not even blink an eyelid as long as they have the opportunity to plunder other people's things, because it is through this method of plunder that they surpass and trample on the East. Civilized……

After pondering for a long time, Yang Mo said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Hong, I think your "Northwest Heavy Machinery Factory's" demand for this material will continue to grow in the future. It is not an option to continue to muddle through like this. There will always be a day when the incident comes to light. I think To solve this problem once and for all, only organizing production in the mainland can not only solve the dilemma of tight foreign exchange, but also promote the development of the metallurgical level in the mainland!"

Hong Tao looked happy: "Mr. Yang, does he mean that Zhiyuan Company is willing to transfer technology and authorize it to be produced by mainland steel plants on its own?"

Yang Mo shook his head: "The intellectual property system has always been dominated by Western developed countries. If Zhiyuan does this, it will still give them an excuse to impose sanctions and cancel the patent protection in Zhiyuan's name in the name of violating the export control of the "Paris Coordinating Committee"!"

Hong Tao looked puzzled: "Isn't normal technology transfer also possible?"

Yang Mo said calmly: "If Zhiyuan is a multinational company controlled by American chaebols, let alone the transfer of metallurgical technology, as long as they are willing, they can directly sell processed rocket tubes to you, no problem!"

Hong Tao and Wang Haiyang looked at each other and asked in a solemn voice: "Do you know our identities?"

Yang Mo looked at Wang Haiyang and said with a smile: "This dear man's identity as a professional soldier seems to be engraved on his face, and Mr. Hong seems to be able to purchase special steel worth more than one million US dollars by himself. Except for the military, I'm afraid no one in the mainland can do it." Companies don’t have such great privileges, right?”

Hong Tao looked at Wang Haiyang and joked: "Old Wang, you can't relax a little. Your whole body is tense wherever you go..."

Wang Haiyang, whose identity was exposed, felt relaxed: "I'll just tell you! Just tell the truth. Since Lao He said that Mr. Yang is trustworthy, everyone can just open up and speak openly. It's tiring to communicate in such a hidden way!" "

Yang Mo not only guessed their identities, but also knew exactly why they purchased expensive high-carbon chromium high-temperature bearing steel at all costs.

Yang Mo said in an astonishing voice: "Not only can I guess your identities, I can also roughly guess why you are in a hurry to purchase this batch of high-temperature bearing steel..."

"Oh?"

Yang Moxin said nonsense: "When I was in Hanover, I once heard a few West Germans talking about the international situation and artillery equipment from various countries in a coffee shop. They may not know that I understand German!"

"What did they say?" Hong Tao asked with interest.

Yang Mo said matter-of-factly: "A West German boasted that their Lars rocket launcher has no rival in the world. I didn't hear clearly what the performance of the Lars rocket launcher was. That is to say, its maneuverability is particularly good. The total weight of the gun barrel + heavy-duty truck chassis is only about fifteen tons, but its firepower is very powerful. It is equipped with two firing boxes and a total of 36 launch tubes. It is particularly easy to operate. It only takes three soldiers to do it..."
