Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 816 Overseas inspection

As the injection molding machine had already been shipped, Chen Changan immediately began to take action.

In fact, someone had already thought of this idea for electric rice cookers, but the current technology of electric rice cookers in companies is not mature enough.

Today's electric rice cookers use bottom plate heating.

This heating method will transfer heat from the bottom plate, which will easily lead to uneven heating. The bottom of the rice cooker will be burnt, while the top will still be undercooked.

There are other heating methods, but they are not only technically difficult but also very costly. Even if they are produced, they have no price advantage at all.

In order to use the bottom plate to heat the rice evenly, Chen Changan could only think of a solution with the material of the inner pot.

As for the material of the inner liner, aluminum alloy and ceramic are the best choices.

After comprehensive consideration, Chen Changan chose the ceramic liner.

As an aluminum alloy material that is about to become ubiquitous in the future, Chen Changan is not unaware of the formula.

The production of aluminum requires a large amount of electricity, and many places currently do not have electricity.

Even in the inner city, power outages often occur, especially in areas where automobile factories are large electricity consumers.

This electricity is just barely enough, which is why Chen Changan proposed the need to build a supporting power plant in the 43 Plan.

Aluminum alloy is difficult to produce, but ceramics are not difficult for our country.

After a simple calculation, Chen Changan found a reasonable size.

According to the size of the chassis, dozens of ceramic inner tanks of different sizes were customized.

When talking about porcelain, everyone will think of Xijiang, the ceramic hometown.

In fact, there are also several ceramic factories around the old city.

For example, the colored glaze products factory located in Longquan Town, Mentougou District, west of Beijing, produces the glazed tiles for many national landmark buildings.

When Chen Changan announced that the automobile factory wanted to produce a home appliance for foreign trade, it needed a ceramic inner liner.

The next day, four factory managers appeared in Chen Changan's office.

The four people were wary of each other, fearing that the other party would steal their credit.

That’s right, it’s the merit. Whether or not they make money is not the focus they need to focus on.

As we all know, the 43 Plan of the Planning Commission has been approved by the higher authorities. In the past two years, the importance of foreign exchange has been particularly high.

Leaders of several departments and units have already said that if a unit can earn foreign exchange, the leader of that unit will be able to make progress.

What kind of unit is a car factory? It is one of the largest foreign exchange earners in the country.

Moreover, unlike those companies that sell minerals and oil, they sell products, such as cars.

If you really count, the automobile factory is the most powerful unit in the country.

Now the car factories are going to produce new products for foreign trade, so what else can we say? Just follow them without thinking.

Even if they fail to earn foreign exchange in the end, it has nothing to do with them, they are just providing spare parts.

It's just ceramic. Chen Changan, you just tell me the size. How difficult can that be?

The fact that competitors are enemies was vividly demonstrated in front of the four ceramic factory directors.

"Hello, Director Chen. I am the director of the Sijiucheng Ceramics Factory. I..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by another factory manager.

This is not the time to show friendly attitude. The four of you should introduce yourself one by one. Why should you be the first?

Our levels are similar. Is our factory not as good as yours?

"Director Chen, I'm from Huairou Ceramics Factory. Our ceramics factory..."

"Zhang Dafa, what do you mean? I'm introducing Director Chen.

If you have any manners, you should know how rude it is to interrupt me at this time. "

Zhang Dafa ignored everyone else and just looked at Chen Changan. He continued.

"The yellow-glazed teacups and flower-patterned teapots and tea bowls produced by our ceramic factory are well-known far and wide. They are well-known in the entire surrounding area of ​​​​Sijiu City.

No matter what the car factory's requirements for ceramics are this time, our Dahua Ceramics Factory can produce them."

The other three factory managers looked at Zhang Dafa with unpleasant expressions. In order to win the approval of the automobile factory, they really didn't care about their reputation.

The four of them had a competition yesterday. They were all from ceramic factories, so naturally they were all brother units.

If you want to get a task, your first reaction must be to apply to the higher-level department.

Four people argued in their superior's office for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.

The superiors are also troubled, but no matter which factory receives the order, the so-called superiors must deserve the credit.

So he waved his hand and said, "You four don't have to argue in front of me. This matter will probably depend on Chen Changan's own attitude."

As the issue concerns foreign exchange, four factory managers came to the automobile factory today and were about to start arguing again.

Uncle Nie was also confident in Chen Changan, and it was just ceramics, and the products produced by that factory were all the same, so he gave the choice to Chen Changan.

Looking at the four factory managers in front of him, their faces flushed and they were about to fight in his office.

"Okay, stop arguing. Here are the requirements of our automobile factory for the ceramic liner this time.

You won't solve the problem by arguing like this. Just take your demands and go back to produce the ceramic liners directly.

Then after the ceramic liners of various specifications are produced, please bring the samples to me for review and give me a quote.

Our automobile factory will first look at the quality, and will give priority to those with better quality.

Under the same quality, cheaper price will be given priority. I have made this clear.

After the factory managers have received the information, they should go back to production immediately and not waste their time here."

As Chen Changan finished speaking, the four factory managers took the information from Chen Changan, looked at each other, snorted, and left the car factory.

Seeing that none of them were willing to give in to the other, Chen Changan was a little worried that if they lost the election, they would come to him to cause trouble.

Now that the heating problem has been solved, the inner pot problem will most likely also be solved. All that remains is to wait for the injection molding machine to arrive so that the rice cooker can start production.

Just when Chen Changan was preparing to produce rice cookers, inside the Tianjin Radio Factory.

"Engineer Huang, the higher authorities hope you can go to Sijiu City."

As the deputy chief engineer of Tianjin Radio Factory, Huang Gong successfully developed the first black-and-white TV in the country and played a vital role in Tianjin Radio Factory.

Generally speaking, superiors would not give orders in this way.

"Do you know what it is?"

“It seems that the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory accepted an order from its superiors to produce color televisions.

We are going to go abroad to inspect the color TV production line and need someone who understands the technology to accompany us. The superior leader has chosen you. "

Hearing this, Mr. Huang fell into deep thought.

The reputation of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory was well-known to him even though he was in Tianjin.

The factory director Chen Changan was even more courageous. While black-and-white televisions were still in the early stages across the country, he was ready to directly produce color televisions for export.

Naturally, Mr. Huang was unwilling to give up the opportunity to study abroad.

"Okay, I'll go back and pack up tonight and go to Sijiu City tomorrow."
