Chapter 91: Bringing a little shock to those who understand technology (Subscription required)
When people think of the Northeast, a name automatically comes to mind: the Republic's eldest industrial son and the cradle of China's heavy industry.

Shenyang has earned the reputation as the hometown of machine tools in China since the 60s.

In that era, nine out of ten domestically produced machine tools were made in this place.

However, with the changes of the times, the former machine tool town, like the businessmen in Chen Jue's hometown of Wenzhou, began to enter a period of decline after its glory.

Now, when we talk about the stereotypes of Northeast China, we often hear "big gold chains, small watches, and three barbecues a day". With the rise of Internet live broadcasts and short videos, these audio-visual entertainments have become derogatory terms for the so-called revitalization of Northeast China's "industry".

However, the Shenji Group that Chen Jue came to was one of the few machinery industry giants in the Northeast region that still adhered to its bottom line in this impetuous environment.

Because the predecessor of Shenyang Machine Tool was formed by the reorganization of Shenyang No. 1935 Machine Tool Factory, Sino-Czech Friendship Factory and Liaoning Precision Instrument Factory, its earliest history can even be traced back to !
In the nearly century-long development of the enterprise, the honors won by Shenji and the technical difficulties overcome are as numerous as the hardships it has experienced.

For example, the first domestically produced CNC machine tool, the STM200160 CNC vertical gantry compound turning and milling center, was manufactured by Shenyang Machine Tool in October 2009.

Its appearance completely filled the gap in domestic CNC machine tools and broke the monopoly of Germans and Japanese on high-end CNC machine tools.

CNC machine tools are also being invested in large quantities in the core manufacturing areas of key industries such as automobiles, national defense and military industry, aerospace, and rail transit, to improve the quality level of China's intelligent manufacturing.

However, due to the constraints of the times and the general environment in Northeast China, Shenji's development in recent years has not been ideal.

Frequent bankruptcy and restructuring after listing resulted in the loss of a large number of technical personnel.

The newly launched machine tool products could not keep up with the trend of the new era, so that the entire enterprise was insolvent and was eventually taken over by a state-owned giant such as "General Technology".

But in Chen Jue's opinion, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Since this place is known as the cradle of domestic machine tools, it obviously won't be a big problem to introduce a batch of equipment from here to fill the vacancies in the Rubik's Cube factory.

……

We arrived at the gate of Shenji's park in a Hongqi business car and explained our purpose to the security personnel at the entrance.

Soon, Chen Jue and Lao Shang were invited to a sales hall.

"Mr. Chen, you have come to the right place to purchase high-precision CNC machine tools!"

"Our Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. is one of the best in the industry in CNC lathes, CNC milling and boring machines, vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, drilling machines, high-speed copy milling machines, laser cutting machines, mass centering machines, CNC tool rests, etc."

The person who was in charge of receiving them was a young male salesperson in a suit and tie, named Liu Qing. He was tall and well-spoken, and he introduced the parameters of the machine tool models on display in the hall in a very knowledgeable manner.

When Chen Jue ran an auto parts factory, he occasionally learned a few tricks from the masters who worked on the line. Although he didn't know every detail about these machine tools, he had some knowledge of the uses of most of them.

But when I saw the precision of the machine tools produced by Shenyang Machine Tool in the hall, the highest one could be controlled to ten microns.

The precision of this machine tool that can be sold externally was so high that Chen Jue almost drooled.

You know, in the field of mechanical processing, the higher the precision requirements for different products, the better.

The obsolete products produced by Chen Jue's old factory were also the kind of industrial hoist ring roughs that were very common in the automobile and motorcycle parts industry in the Vancouver area. At best, they had millimeter-level precision requirements. In front of a professional like Shen Ji, they could not even be described as "precision" and were too rough.

It’s amazing to see that Chen Jue, the boss from the south, attaches so much importance to processing precision.

Liu Qing, who was in charge of the explanation, mentioned some of Shen Ji's glorious and interesting stories.

In the past, more than ten or twenty years ago, the domestic machining accuracy was indeed far behind that of Germany and the Japanese.

Under the regulations of the Batumi embargo, machine tools with an accuracy of plus or minus 6 microns are subject to strict blockade by the West against China.

However, after 2013, several young master craftsmen suddenly appeared in Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd., and they miraculously reduced the precision of domestic cutting-edge machine tools to 3 microns, breaking the 5-micron precision myth of Germany and Japan in one fell swoop.

Upon hearing this interesting case, Chen Jue couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

While admiring the technical strength of Shenji, Lao Shang, who remained silent throughout the whole process, followed Liu Qing around for a while, and then came to the exhibition area in the hall where there was a machine tool known as China's first machine tool, to check in and take photos.

Then they went straight to the reception room and started talking directly about the purchase of machine tools.

However, when Chen Jue took out the three-dimensional dynamic construction plan of the Rubik's Cube Factory, as well as the real-life video and photos of the internal workshop, Liu Qing, who had just thought that this young boss from the south knew nothing, immediately showed an expression of awe!
"Mr. Chen, are you sure what you showed me was not an AI animation? Is there really such a factory?" Liu Qing's voice rose a few notches.

Because the factory workshop created by this company called Cube Technology is so simple and beautiful!
The huge cube building standing on the seashore, with a side length of 200 meters, was enough to make Liu Qing's scalp tingle.

Not to mention that this super factory is actually made entirely of prefabricated metal plates from the inside out.

It took no more than ten days from laying the base to completing the entire main structure.

The impact of the huge structure that was a combination of industry and architecture completely conquered Liu Qing, who was knowledgeable about technology!

"I have built it and am just waiting to add equipment and put it into production! Do I need to cheat you, a salesperson?" Chen Jue smiled slightly and flipped through the local Douyin circle in Rui County.

I found a few check-in videos taken by young people in Rui County after the completion of the Rubik's Cube Factory and showed them to the other party.

The real-life on-site photography in those videos stunned Liu Qing!

"beautiful!"

"Mr. Chen, I feel that your Rubik's Cube Factory is good enough to apply for a major award in the field of architecture." Liu Qing couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.

But when I heard that Chen Jue actually planned to fill such a large factory with CNC machine tools and various machining centers.

Especially when he found out that the dock in the first-floor workshop, which could accommodate 10,000-ton ships, was actually equipped with some large CNC gantry lathes for shipbuilding, Liu Qing immediately became restless!
Because such a large order was completely beyond the authority of a small salesperson like him to handle.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment! I will immediately call Mr. Zhou from our sales department to come and meet you in person!"
