Feng Xiaochen looked at Deng Zongbai and asked, “Master Deng, I remember you saying that you were from a technical background, and the key technology of large fertilizer equipment, do you understand?”

"Of course I know."Deng Zongbai said without hesitation, "I have also been engaged in fertilizer for more than 20 years, Feng, you will not think that I am really a wine bag?"

Feng Xiaochen said, “I didn’t say that, I just wanted to ask, what does Deng Factory Director think about the gap between China’s large fertilizer equipment and foreign countries?”

“Well...” Deng Zongbai took a deep breath and said, “This is a long story.”Simply put, fertilizer equipment manufacturing includes three links, the first is process technology and engineering design, the second is equipment manufacturing, and the third is equipment complete sets.Corresponding to three departments: design institute, chemical equipment factory, chemical installation company.

From the process technology and engineering design, we only have the design capacity of small and medium-sized fertilizer plants, for the design of large fertilizer plants have no experience at all, several major process technologies are in the hands of foreigners, we have to carry out independent design has a certain degree of difficulty.

"Well, that's the first aspect."Feng Xiaochen responded.

“The second aspect is equipment manufacturing.The situation in our country is 12 words: the categories are complete, the ability is very large, and the level is not high.Of the 520,000 tons of urea devices, there are 83 main types of equipment, a total of 151 units, which we have roughly analyzed, all of which we are able to manufacture.”Deng Zongbai Dao.

“Can they be made?”Feng Xiaochen was surprised, "Mr. Deng, you have said a little bit about this?"

Deng Zongbai said with a bitter smile: "Not too much.To be honest, we can all create.A few years ago, we asked the foreign design institute to help design a set of 520,000 tons of urea device, in addition to a small number of equipment and instruments imported, other equipment are manufactured by our domestic enterprises, has been completed and put into operation.

Feng Xiaochen thought in his heart and said, “I know what kind of equipment you are talking about, which is the set of Haijiang Chemical Factory?”I remember that the operation of the equipment is not very good, the production of more than a year has not reached half of the design capacity, Haijiang Chemical Factory on this matter is very big."

Deng Zongbai smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it a very big opinion?"As I said before, we are fully equipped, have great ability, and all kinds of equipment we need to be able to make them.There is another sentence, that is, the level is not high.To be precise, the overall level is not high.Domestically manufactured equipment is more than half of the quality of equipment imported from abroad.

For example, the annual corrosion rate of people's high-pressure equipment lining is about 0.05 mm, and we can reach more than 0.15 mm, which is more than double the scope of the design license.

“Why?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

"The quality of the pipe is not good, there are metallurgical defects.If you use imported pipes, the cost is too high.There are also welding materials and technologies that are not good, and the means of inspection cannot keep up... In short, there are many problems.”Deng Zongbai Dao.He is really, as he claims, is a man who has been engaged in fertilizer equipment for more than 20 years, and he talks about these things as many Janes, and he is not as muddy as he had been a few days ago.

"I understand.The third aspect is the equipment set capability.”Feng Xiaochen continued to ask.

Deng Zongbai said: "There are many problems in this area, we do not have a very mature chemical equipment installation company, most of the installation enterprises only small and medium-sized project construction experience, no large-scale chemical equipment construction experience."This is also a difficult one if we are to make our own fertilizer.”

Feng Xiaochen nodded, on the localization of fertilizer equipment, he did some research, but today, listening to Deng Zongbai said this, he has more intuitive impressions.He thought about it and asked, “Director Deng, if we propose to the Japanese side this time to transfer technology and cooperate in manufacturing, how do you plan?”

“Of course, it’s better.”Deng Zongbai said, “It is best that all the technology can be transferred to us.”The design process for large fertilizers is patented, and we can purchase their patent license.Since it is introduced once, it is natural to learn to do it all."

“What about the co-manufacturing part?”Feng Xiaochen asked again.

“This ... may require the best of your ability.”Deng Zongbai said that when he said this, his door was a little lower, and he seemed to feel a little embarrassed.

Feng Xiaochen understood his subtext, which is the meaning of the difficulty.He asked, “What equipment do you say, including what equipment?”

“Synthetic tower, this is what we can do.CO2 gas tower, we have not done so much, but if the Japanese side can transfer technology and provide some guidance, I think it is not a problem to take it down.There are high-pressure scrubbers, conversion furnaces, waste heat boilers, which are not problems.”Deng Zongbai broke his finger and said to Feng Xiaochen.

“How many of the five compressor units can you pick up?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

“I’m afraid it’s a little difficult.”Deng Zong said in a nut.

The so-called five compressor units refer to the air compressor group, natural gas compressor unit, syngas compressor unit, ammonia compressor unit and carbon dioxide compressor unit, which is the most core equipment of large fertilizer equipment, but also the most difficult equipment for manufacturing.The manufacture of such equipment tests the ability of materials, manufacturing processes, processing accuracy and other aspects, and these are the weakest links of Chinese enterprises.

Deng Zongbai is well-known for the ability of the company, and he knows that in the short term, it is almost impossible to break through these obstacles.And the coastal side can not give them more time, so he can only choose to give up these devices.

"Well, can you ask President Deng to write a material and list the parts that you can bear as part of our negotiations with the Japanese side?"As for the five compressor units, we can ask the Japanese side to transfer technology, Xinyang dihua machine and other large chemical equipment enterprises, with the shortest time to break through the existing technical barriers, as soon as possible to master the manufacturing technology of the five compressor units, what do you think?"Feng Xiaochen asked.

“Exactly possible.”Deng Zongbai breathed a sigh of relief.This kind of food by yourself is very easy.The five compressor units they can't do, those synthetic towers, gas towers and the like, he is still sure to make it.These things are up to ten meters or even dozens of meters, the diameter of several meters thick big guy, although the profit can not be compared with the compressor group, but also enough to make Xinyang dihua machine full.

Without waiting for him to be happy, Feng Xiaochen asked again: "For the part you promised to bear, once you reach an agreement with the Japanese side, you must complete it on time according to the texture, can you do this?"

"Of course, I can do it, my old Deng willing to make a military writ."Deng Zongbai said with a pat on his chest.

Feng Xiaochen said, “That would be great.I have considered a plan and am preparing to discuss with Director Wang and Director Niu.I think that this time, all the equipment subcontracted by the Japanese side to the domestic enterprises will be packaged and dried.The payment of the previous period, as the arrears of the enterprise, must wait for the equipment to be delivered to the Japanese side after acceptance before it is converted into enterprise income.If the equipment submitted by the enterprise fails to meet the quality requirements put forward by the Japanese side and cannot be made after the rework can not be made, the purchase price will be recovered.”

“What do you say?”Deng Zongbai rolled his eyes, “Recover the purchase price?”

“Yes.”Feng Xiaochen said frankly, "If your products are not qualified, why should customers pay?"Not only do you not need to pay, you also have to claim the project liquidated damages according to the contract, because the failure of the product you provide will cause the project to be postponed, and the customer will suffer losses.

In addition, the funds invested by the state to update your equipment, as well as the funds spent on the purchase of foreign patents, must sign the letter of responsibility.If you are unable to master the introduction of technology within a specified time, or if the manufactured product does not meet the requirements of the time of introduction, this part of the country will also be recovered.”

“We cannot accept this condition.”Deng Zong Bai said with his eyes, "This is simply an unequal treaty, if I accept it, is it not a disgrace to the country?"

Feng Xiaochen said, “Why can’t I see any inequality?”If the quality of what you have made is passed and submitted on time, no one will withhold you a penny.If your quality is not good, the product or even waste is provided, what reason does the customer have to give you money?As for the investment in the introduction of equipment, it is itself used to help you form production capacity, and now the equipment has been put in, but you can not complete the task, the country's money will not be put into vain?What’s wrong with you?”

“I will not grant this condition!”Deng Zongbai was irritated, he just thought that Feng Xiaochen was good to talk, did not expect Feng Xiaochen to have such a strong trick, which is almost to the Xinyang divination machine to death.

Regarding the introduction of technology, Deng Zongbai's heart is really bottomless.In the past, they have not introduced the outside technology, some technology quickly become digested and absorbed, some technologies have appeared indigestion, and even some countries spent a lot of foreign exchange procurement of equipment, and now they are still asleep in the workshop and have not played a role.But no matter whether they are successful or not, they do not need to bear any responsibility, at best, it is a wonderful pen to write a material, blow the results a little bigger, the failure to an objective reason, the matter has passed.What is the matter of recovering the investment?

Everyone likes to introduce technology, because the introduction of technology is not harmful to the factory.The success of the introduction is naturally happy, even if the introduction fails, the factory does not need to pay a penny, such a thing who does not like it?According to Feng Xiaochen's plan, the factory had to pay the right pants.

"If that's the case, then we'll quit and don't take this porcelain to live."Deng Zong Bai said firmly.
