King of Industry

In the evening, in the Mingyue Pavilion of the Capital Hotel, there was a lot of excitement.

Sitting next to Qin Yang, Zhao Guoyang was frequently toasted by the leaders of Shagang Group from time to time, and he had no choice but to respond one by one.

Chairman Shen Zhirong was very attentive to this meeting with Mr. Li and Director Qin. He not only brought Hu Jun, the deputy factory director in charge of sales of the group, Chen Guolin, the director of the technology department of the group, but also a middle-level cadre in production. ——Xia Chunming, workshop director.

Speaking of Director Xia, he is no stranger to Zhao Guoyang.

When Zhao Guoyang went to Shagang Group for the first time, he helped Director Xia a lot by solving the problem of cracks on the surface of the casting embryos produced by the second smelting.

It can be said that Zhao Guoyang's familiarity and proficiency in iron and steel smelting left a deep impression on Xia Chunming.

Researcher Zhao, I offer you a toast! After toasting the two leaders, Xia Chunming raised his glass to Zhao Guoyang again.

Director Xia, you are too polite! Zhao Guoyang quickly got up and clinked glasses with the other party, and drank the wine in the glass neatly.

Seeing that Zhao Guoyang was very familiar with Shagang Group, both high-level leaders and middle-level cadres, Director Qin Yang, who was sitting next to Mr. Li, couldn't help laughing.

Chairman Shen, it seems that the cooperation between Researcher Zhao and your Shagang Group has not been a day or two. Several comrades in your group are familiar with him!

What Director Qin said is true!

Shen Zhirong nodded with a smile and said, Brother Guoyang, he and our Shagang Group are strategic partners.

To tell you the truth, some of the niobium and tantalum ores that our group is in short supply are purchased from overseas for us through his 'Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company'.

Although Shagang Group paid the money, Director Qin can guess how difficult it is to open up the procurement channels for this rare metal.

Shen Zhirong looked at Zhao Guoyang gratefully, and said with a serious expression: That's why I keep saying that we, Shagang Group, have received a lot of love from Brother Guoyang...

When Shen Zhirong said this, Qin Yang couldn't help but look at Zhao Guoyang more.

If he was only convinced by this young man's technical attainments before, then in the eyes of this leader, Zhao Guoyang has become a rare comprehensive talent.

After filling his glass with wine, Qin Yang raised his glass to Shen Zhirong with a smile and said, Mr. Shen, Mr. Li and I have basically understood the cooperation that Researcher Zhao talked about with you on the phone, and we also support it.

However, there is a question in my heart that I really have to ask...

Hearing this, Shen Zhirong quickly changed his face, and asked for advice humbly: Director Qin, if you have any questions, just ask, if you can answer but not, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer!

Although Shen Zhirong's words were meant as a joke, his attitude was still very clear: that is, no matter how difficult the future is, he will definitely carry on with this project firmly.

Although Qin Yang is not familiar with Shen Zhirong, but after hearing the boss's statement, he has a quite positive impression of him.

Indeed, as the helm of a large enterprise, sometimes what is needed is Shen Zhirong's courage to forge ahead without fear of difficulties.

After Shen Zhirong made his statement, Qin Yang didn't say much, and directly clinked glasses with him first, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Putting down his wine glass, Qin Yang slowly said: As a big ocean country, China's ocean economy has always had a bright future.

However, in the field of steel for ships and ocean engineering, which is closely related to it, our domestic production and manufacturing level is still very backward. Not only your Shagang Group, but also several major domestic steel manufacturers seem to be unable to overcome technical difficulties in this area. I don't have much thought, this is very worrying...

After hearing Qin Yang's words, Shen Zhirong's old face turned red.

In fact, Shen Zhirong raised the issue of the country's maritime strategy more than once in high-level meetings within the Shagang Group.

But every time I proposed this strategy, very few people responded to me.

Indeed, Shen Zhirong also knows that the technical and production process of steel for ships and ocean engineering is too difficult, and it will not be a matter of one day to overcome it.

At present, the existing orders in the factory are enough to support three to five years, or even more, it is not the most reasonable and rational choice to rush to invest too much cost to develop new products.

The key point is that even if this huge sum of money is invested, it is still a big doubt whether the special steel used in ships and marine engineering can be successfully developed to meet international standards.

Such a thing, except myself, the boss, dared to bring it up, no one else really dared to think about it.

When Qin Yang criticized some short-sighted behaviors of domestic iron and steel groups, Shen Zhirong spoke with a sincere face.

Director Qin, you are right. In recent years, the total amount of industrial steel in our country has continued to increase, and several large steel factories have also made a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, few people are willing to take huge risks to tackle difficult problems in the industry such as steel for ships and offshore engineering. To be honest, we Shagang Group also had this concern before.

However, if I can express my attitude in front of you two, Mr. Li and Director Qin. As long as the country needs it, our Shagang Group will definitely invest the necessary funds in the research and development of ships and marine engineering. special steel!

Speaking of this, Shen Zhirong sighed with emotion: I have already experienced the thing of being stuck in the neck, and I really don't want to look at the steel industry for ships and marine engineering, and be looked down upon again...

Qin Yang was very surprised by Shen Zhirong's statement.

He was silent for a moment, refilled the wine glass, stood up solemnly, and said to Shen Zhirong: Boss Shen, I am very honored to hear your promise.

With your determination, I believe that the pilot cooperation between Researcher Zhao and your Shagang Group will definitely shine in the future!

Shen Zhirong nodded excitedly, and then drank the wine in his glass.

After calming down his emotions, he looked expectantly at Zhao Guoyang who was beside Qin Yang.

Brother Guoyang, regarding the pilot project you have won, I, Lao Shen, only have four words - full support. If you have a shortfall in funds, you can tell me that our Shagang Group can provide interest-free loans to your company.

However, you must give us a lot of advice on the special steel used in ships and offshore engineering.

After Shen Zhirong finished speaking, Chen Guolin beside him quickly stood up and toasted Zhao Guoyang: Mr. But there has been no progress for so many years.”

This cooperation, if it is not because I know that Researcher Zhao is involved, I will definitely persuade Chairman Shen to give up. Because Shagang Group is really not sure about the special steel used in shipbuilding!

But with Researcher Zhao in charge of the overall situation, then I am completely relieved...

What Chen Guolin said was honest. As the technical director, he knew the situation of his own group best.

Although Shagang Group has made great efforts in product research and development in the past two years, it has achieved very little critical improvement.

With the current technical level of the group, it is still too difficult to tackle the steel used in shipbuilding.

However, after learning that Zhao Guoyang will be the general manager of this project, Chen Guolin no longer has any worries in this regard.

He knew Zhao Guoyang's attainments in iron and steel smelting very well, and he also trusted him quite a lot.

In his opinion, with Zhao Guoyang in charge of the overall situation, his own Shagang Group is definitely promising for the special steel used in ships.

Listening to Chen Guolin's admiration for Zhao Guoyang, Li Kejian and Qin Yang couldn't help laughing.

Mr. Li happily glanced at Zhao Guoyang, and said, Guoyang, did you hear that, Comrade Xiao Chen, you are in command of your army.

In front of so many people, you have to give them some confidence, right? How about it, do you have confidence in Shagang Group's involvement in the field of ship steel? Or, do you have anything to mention?

Zhao Guoyang scratched his head when he heard the words, thinking that Mr. Li is really a childlike innocence, why did he make this joke with himself?

However, since Mr. Li had spoken, he had to give an answer.

Zhao Guoyang thought for a while, and could only give some explanations for this aspect.

He looked at Chen Guolin seriously, and said, Minister Chen, in fact, when I went to Shagang Group last time, I already paid attention.

You still have a certain technical background in the research and development of special steel. As long as you work hard on the dosage of alloy additives and get involved in this field, there should be no problem...

Under the joy of everyone, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: In fact, the difficulty in processing steel for ships and marine engineering does not lie in the smelting technology, but in the step of welding and forming.

In many cases, the difficulty of welding and the quality of welding determine the final performance of marine steel structures.

Insufficient welding level and quality will lead to the formation of cracks in the steel plate during the cutting process.

In addition, in the welding of ultra-high-strength steel, as the strength level increases, the addition of carbon and alloying elements in the material increases, which is likely to cause embrittlement in the welding heat-affected zone and the formation of hot and cold cracks.

In addition, softening of the heat-affected zone of welded joints is also a common problem when welding fine-grained steels.

These are the key points we need to overcome in the future...

After Zhao Guoyang said these highly professional words, the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful.

Li Kejian was the calmest one, but after Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, he couldn't help stroking his beard as if he was happy.

As for the members of the Shagang Group, they were full of surprises, and the joy on their faces was not concealed at all.

As for Director Qin Yang Qin, he had already stood aside in a daze, not knowing what to say.
