Late-Mover Advantage
Chapter 553:Late-Mover Advantage
At this moment, outside the workshop of the Hezhou Power Plant, a dry technician sat under a tree, laughing and clamoring, and everyone's face was full of excitement.
“I can’t believe it’s really the fault of the Siey Company!”
“I said that, you just don’t believe me.”
“Don’t you believe it yourself?You've counted an equation 20 times, but the first time you're right, I just won't say it."
"When I showed it to you, why don't you tell me right, and let me count it again."
"Well, this kind of thing, who can believe it, Don't Xiyi Company, that's the company of Tuo Niu, it can be wrong, I really don't believe it in the past."
"Yes, Feng assistant, I have not yet understood that the binary algorithm of the thrust model is now very mature, and the ternary algorithm is widely accepted, how do you say that Xiyi company is still using the monistry algorithm?"When we were in school, the teacher analyzed us, saying that the dollar algorithm is too rough, the low-power unit is still together, and the error is too large with the high-power unit.
The question is asked, is the new technician of the Longshan Electric Factory Technology Department Xiangpeng, he is a graduate student who has just graduated from a famous engineering school in China, and the main direction is mechanics.This time, the first to propose the problem of Xiyi's thrust model was him.Together with another young engineer named Hu Yuesong, he compiled thousands of lines of procedure, recalculated the thrust model several times, and found the error in the Xiyi model.It is precisely because of such solid evidence that Xiyi Company did not argue too much and directly admitted its mistakes.
Despite the confirmation of his own doubts, Xiang Peng could not understand why Xiyi made such a simple mistake.The root cause of Xiyi's calculation error is that the unary calculation model they use has lagged behind, and there are already binary and triple computing models, which are enough to make up for the lack of a dollar model.As such a large company, Canxii represents the highest technical level of the industry, how can not even understand the binary model?
Hearing the words of Xiangpeng, everyone turned to Feng Xiaochen, assistant general manager of the National Equipment Industry Company, who had just arrived from Beijing.These days, Feng Xiaochen has been several times and the state, to help Longshan Electric Factory withstand the pressure from all aspects, to the site of the technical staff to encourage, organize other units of the technical staff to come to help, occasionally to the technical staff to give some "small advice", and everyone in the letter will be suspicious after the verification, unexpectedly found that the Feng assistant every time the proposal is actually the right key, so that everyone less a lot of detours.
Unconsciously, everyone took Feng Xiaochen as the backbone of the Lord, and was willing to listen to Feng Xiaochen's views on everything.This time, the engineers of Xiyi came to China to admit that their computing models were wrong and were willing to bear all the losses.The Chinese engineers present rejoiced, inevitably some are trembling, do not know why Xi Yi will make such a low-level mistake, the answer to this question, I am afraid only Feng Xiaochen can give.
"It's not surprising that this is called a latecomer advantage in economics."He grinned at the people.
"Aide Feng, don't we usually say pre-emptive, what does this late-component advantage mean?"Ou Guisheng, deputy director of Long Electric Power, asked with surprise.
Feng Xiaochen said, “This is the charm of dialectics.”The first start has the advantage of first start, and the advantage of the second hair after the hair, depending on the situation.In terms of industrial development, the first mover advantage is that the advanced countries have strong economic strength, advanced equipment, especially a large number of patents, as well as the advantages of brand and goodwill, even if the backward countries follow the road of advanced countries, can not go through, because light is a patent threshold, can block you from the door.
Advanced countries also have the disadvantage of advanced countries.Their markets are saturated, and there is no use for free technology.Their equipment is advanced, but it is relative, because the equipment they updated 10 years ago has not yet reached the point of aging and elimination, and on the contrary, some enterprises in our country have more advanced equipment.”
"This is true."Hu Yuesong, a young engineer, said, "Last year, the factory sent me to Xiyi to study, and I saw that some of the equipment in their workshop was older than our dragon electricity."We have introduced a lot of advanced machine tools from Japan and Germany in recent years, although the overall level is far less than West Yi, but some of the equipment is still better than them."
“Little Hu is right, and in the future our advantage will be further strengthened.”Feng Xiaochen echoed a sentence, then said, "the problem of equipment, is still second, more important, is the problem of the aging of the knowledge of these large companies."Just now asked why we can do binary, ternary calculation, Xiyi company is still keeping the one-state model unchanged.Think about it, the European factory director and the master workers, they do not understand the binary model?"
This is a bit sensitive, to Peng turn to look at Ou Guisheng and Quanjian, smiled awkwardly, said: "European factory director and total workers they are mainly responsible for the overall situation, the specific calculation model..."
He said no.This time, Long Electric used the binary model to calculate the turbine thrust, the main force is that he and Hu Yuesong and other young engineers, and then from other units and came a few masters, all of them are just graduated undergraduates and graduate students, the old engineer is basically standing next to do some guidance, related to specific calculations, especially programming and other aspects, these old people are not light.
But such a big truth, to Peng is embarrassed to say.First, because Ou Guisheng and Quan Jian are his leaders, even if he is tangled again, he knows that he can't say that the other party can't be in front of the leader.Secondly, Ou Guisheng and Quanjian are experienced old technicians, although they do not understand the latest technology, but the analysis of some problems is more old than these young people, coupled with the usual concern for them, on experience, on character, are called their teachers, Xiang Peng is not willing to blame their shortcomings.
The whole building took over the words, laughing: "Feng assistant is right, I and the old Ou are old, knowledge can't keep up, to engage in new technology, but also to the small, small Hu they these young people."
"You can't say that, we're all your students, and your experience in motor design alone is enough for me and my little school."Hu Yuesong said quickly.
Feng Xiaochen stopped their mutual humility and said: "In fact, the technology update speed in today's world is very fast, and the older generation can't keep up with the technology trend, which is not a mistake."They were also once standing on the tide of technology, but now they are older, plus the burden on their shoulders is heavier, it is impossible to have so much energy to learn the latest technology, small and small Hu are young, there are some advantages in technology is normal.
"Look at Feng's assistant, we actually just learned a little bit in school..." Hu Yuesong modestly said.
Xiang Peng's eyes were bright, looking at Feng Xiaochen, and asked, "Feng Assistant, do you mean that the engineers on the other side of the Xiyi company are too old, so we can't keep up with the trend of technological development, but we have the upper hand?"
“That is it!”Feng Xiaochen said, “Think about it, how old is Xi Yi’s engineers?”
“At least 40 years old, right?”Hu Yuesong said, "This is still they can send to China for business, Xiyi headquarters on the other side, engineers in their 50s are everywhere, but there are very few young people like me and Xiao Xiang."When I went to study, the people on the Siyi side looked at me so young and surprised."
"That's the key to the problem."Feng Xiaochen said, "The era of rapid economic development in the West was from the end of the war to the end of the 1960s.After the 1970s, the West was influng.Due to the rise in labor costs, coupled with the completion of infrastructure, the market tends to be saturated, and the manufacturing industry in the West has greatly relocated.First moved to Japan, and then to some areas such as the Asian Tigers, the four small dragons, the Western industry has shown signs of hollowing out.
Western large companies like Siyi, most of the engineers and technicians entered the company in the 1950s and 1960s, and now it is the age of 50.These people have worked in the company for more than 30 years, and the company can't fire them.And if they don’t leave, young people won’t be able to get in.In this case, young people in the West are reluctant to study engineering and are more willing to study professions such as finance and business.An industry, without the injection of young people, can you count on them to master the latest technology?”
Ou Guisheng nodded next to him: "Yes, I saw the data saying that Western countries call the industry the sunset industry, and the like is the sunrise industry."The sun is about to go down, and the young people certainly don't want to learn."
Feng Xiaochen said: "The sunset industry in the West does not refer to all industrial categories."Like semiconductors, computers, biotechnology, etc., it is still very dynamic in Europe and the United States, which belongs to the sunrise industry they say.But products like thermal power units belong to the sunset.”
"Here we are, that's a real sunrise."The whole building said with a smile.
Everyone laughed, and Feng Xiaochen said, “The whole work is right.”Our country is a rising country, with the development of the economy, the future growth of electricity demand is not enough, the resulting demand for power equipment is very large, the power equipment industry is promising.Young people can build a career in this industry, so young talents such as Xiao Xiang and Xiao Hu will join the industry without hesitation.”
Xiang Peng and Hu Yuesong were a little embarrassed, red-faced and even waved, indicating that they were not counted as a young talent.However, the reason for Feng Xiaochen's statement was accepted by everyone.Yes, China is a developing country, this is our disadvantage, but also our advantage, and the word that came up later is not unreasonable.
