Chapter 623 Persuade Sergey

Sergey thought for a while, then nodded: "It seems to be like this..."

He is not very clear about Huaxia's relevant policies on agricultural machinery and automobiles, but after working in Huaxia for more than half a year, he also knows that the Huaxia government has given quite a lot of financial subsidies and support policies in agriculture.

In fact, Sergey knows better that not only China, but the central governments of most countries on this planet, including Europe and the United States, have given strong subsidies and policy support to agriculture and the agricultural machinery industry, and this kind of subsidies and support The strength of the policy can make the auto industry drool with envy.

Although I don't know what kind of support Huaxia has for the automobile industry, I think it is precisely because of the huge gap in support policies between the two industries that many people in Huaxia use tractors as means of transportation.

The two have known each other for more than half a year, and Zhang Qihang and Sergey are already very familiar with each other, so they naturally speak casually: "Old Xie, let me tell you the truth, I am very optimistic about the transport tractor and plan to build it It has become our flagship product."

Hearing this, Sergey was not only a little surprised: "Are you so optimistic about this kind of tractor?"

Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded: "It's more promising than you imagined."

"Oh?"

"I have an idea, that is to regard the transport tractor we just talked about as a pathfinder. If its market performance is good, then we will develop a version with higher power and higher performance," said this , Zhang Qihang glanced at Sergey, and said with deep meaning: "Old Xie, you know that my dad imported the full set of technology of the K701 heavy tractor from your Kirov factory except for the engine...Old Xie, You don’t think we spend so much money on these technologies just to put them on the shelf?”

Sergey frowned slightly, and looked at Zhang Qihang uncertainly: "Zhang, you mean..."

"That's what you think." Under Sergey's gaze, Zhang Qihang nodded and said: "This tractor is just the starting point, we will make bigger tractors in the future, Lao Xie, I remember you are in Russia, there are many more Friends who are engaged in research and development and manufacturing of agricultural machinery, and it seems that their lives are not very good now, right? It is said that many old friends are asking for help from you, Lao Xie, if our business grows bigger, you can send your friends Let us all invite them here and give them a decent job, instead of just temporarily giving them some financial help as we are doing now."

"..."

Sergey fell silent.

He admitted that what Zhang Qihang said was correct. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the top talents in the aerospace and materials industries of the Soviet Union were poached by the Western world, but this definitely did not include the agricultural machinery industry. Friends of the manufacturing industry, life is indeed difficult now.

Although the Soviet Union has always attached great importance to the development and promotion of agriculture and agricultural machinery technology since the establishment of the Soviet Union, to be honest, the Soviet Union's emphasis on agriculture is behind the emphasis on the military industry, which has led to the fact that although the Soviet Union's agricultural machinery technology Compared with China, it is very developed, but compared to Europe and the United States, it is still a bit behind. In the field of large and heavy tractors, the gap between the Soviet Union and top international agricultural machinery brands such as Fendt, John Deere, New Holland, and Case is still not small. of.

This situation directly led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The top experts and top engineers and technicians in the Soviet agricultural machinery industry did not enjoy the "bonus" of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The high-horsepower tractor is really good news for my old friends who are still in Russia.

It’s just that for Sergey, who has experienced the disintegration of the country and his lifelong belief collapsed overnight, he is no longer the kind of young man who is passionate about being fooled by others. Although he is very happy with the news disclosed by Zhang Qihang, but After thinking about it seriously, Sergey felt that Zhang Qihang's idea was not realistic at all.

But although he thought so in his heart, for Sergey, who had experienced the ruin of the country and his family, he was not so direct, so he frowned and said to Zhang Qihang: "Zhang, your idea is very good, but In my opinion, it is very difficult to achieve.”

Zhang Qihang was not angry about Xier Gai's dislike, but asked instead: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Zhang, the company you are managing now is an automobile manufacturing company. You should know something about the current industrial situation in your country," Sergey asked Zhang Qihang. Seeing Zhang Qihang nod, he continued: "Since you are interested in If you know the current state of industry in your country, then you should know how difficult it is to make a heavy-duty tractor with more than 100 horsepower.

Even if your family bought the chassis technology, articulation technology and drive technology of large articulated tractors from Kirov, but apart from other things, can you solve the engine?Even if you solve the engine problem, what about the heavy-duty gearbox for agricultural machinery?What about heavy drive shafts? "

Speaking of this, Sergey looked at Zhang Qihang and spread his hands: "Zhang, I didn't mean to laugh at you, but among other things, the research and development expenses required for a wheel-side reduction drive axle dedicated to heavy tractors are at least It needs hundreds of millions of dollars, can your family come up with it? This is just the drive axle, engine, gearbox and other subsystems with higher technical content, which require higher research and development costs..."

Speaking of this, Sergey stared at Zhang Qihang, and said seriously: "Zhang, these things are all technologies that require a lot of money from the state to develop. I don't mean to laugh at you, but this is really not your family's annual sales. It is something that only a few million-dollar companies can get their hands on, and to achieve this requires the investment of a large amount of money from the state."

Looking fixedly at Sergey, Zhang Qihang suddenly smiled: I can't tell, this Sergey is really a staunch socialist.

Zhang Qihang, who suddenly became in a good mood, asked Sergey with a smile: "Old Xie, do you believe it or not, in fact, our government has basically solved the problems you mentioned?"

"Oh? What do you say?"

Sergey didn't believe it, but in view of Zhang Qihang's achievements, he didn't dare not believe it completely.

"It's very simple," Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "We now have a complete set of technology and manufacturing technology for the K701 heavy-duty tractor except the engine, including the processing technology of the gearbox, four-wheel drive technology, and the manufacturing technology of the articulated body. The manufacturing technology of the wheel-side reduction drive axle, what we lack most now is nothing more than an engine.

But thank you, you know that the Huateng Industrial Group where I work has introduced a complete set of 6SD1 series diesel engine manufacturing technology from Dongying Isuzu, and the kite diesel engine factory in our province has a complete set of WD615 series diesel engine technology from the Austrian Steyr Group... This The two series of engines, according to different configurations, have several different versions such as turbocharged and naturally aspirated, and the power ranges from more than 160 horsepower to more than 350 horsepower.

You said, if I install our 'Huateng-Isuzu' 6SD1-TC engine or Weichai WD615 diesel engine on the Kirowitz K701 tractor, is it possible to realize the localization of this tractor? "

Sergey froze for a moment.

Before that, he really thought about this, but now, following Zhang Qihang's words, he thinks, well, the Kirowitz K701 tractor is equipped with a 375-horsepower diesel engine, whether it is Isuzu's 6SD1 series It is still the Weichai WD615 series, and the maximum power cannot reach this parameter, which means that the power and torque of these two engines are completely within the allowable input range of the K701 tractor transmission system, and even because of the small power, it is necessary to Redesign the gear ratio between the gears.

But this is not the point. The point is that it is difficult to improve technology from the bottom up, but it is much easier to move it down from the top.

看着在发愣的谢尔盖，张起航笑眯眯的接着说道：“除了我们‘华腾-五十铃’的6SD1系列和潍柴的WD615系列，我们国家的东风汽车集团下属的东风发动机制造公司还与米国的康明斯公司合作，以许可证的方式从康明斯公司引进了4B、6B以及4C系列柴油机的制造技术和工艺。

In addition, when our country introduced the Steyr 91 series trucks from the Austrian Steyr company, it introduced a complete set of technologies from the complete vehicle to the engine, gearbox, steering mechanism, and wheel reduction drive axle. It has been basically digested and absorbed now.

Lao Xie, you said, our country has so many technologies in our hands, as long as our purchase volume reaches a certain level, will these manufacturers customize them for us according to our actual needs. "

Now, Sergey was completely speechless. If Zhang Qihang didn't say anything, his impression of Huaxia's industrial manufacturing capabilities would still remain in the impression he formed in the Soviet Union, but now he heard what Zhang Qihang said, and he suddenly realized that Well, it's not like the Zhang family has no chance to produce a large tractor with more than 100 horsepower.

It's just that this matter is too big, after hesitating for a moment, Sergey still said: "Zhang, I need to think about it."

Zhang Qihang didn't expect that such a simple sentence could completely convince Sergey, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, this is what it should be, um...but before that, Lao Xie, do you think it doesn't matter whether we want to develop You can invite your friends to work in our company for large tractors with more than 100 horsepower. You also know the situation of our company. The technical force is relatively weak. If your friends can come, our company can solve the problem of insufficient technical force. Question, your friends have also solved the financial difficulties, killing two birds with one stone, what do you think?"

"This... I will seriously consider it."

Having said that, Sergey was really moved: it seems that this is indeed the truth.
