Chapter 273 Dealer (first update)
Electroslag smelting furnaces actually started relatively early in our country, in Shanghai in the 1960s.

However, due to process and technical reasons, it has never been able to compare with the technical level of European and American countries.

Things made with the same technology, such as gun barrels, have a service life of 100 to 500 rounds due to different technical reasons.

For example, if it is manufactured with German technology, its lifespan can reach 800 to 1000 rounds.

In modern times, this technology has been vigorously developed. In the smelting of the same type of steel, the steel smelted by this technology crystallizes better than the steel smelted by other methods.

It is widely used in various fields and even replaces some forged parts.

Of course, modern electroslag remelting technology basically adopts automated control, which is also a major advantage, because automated control is more accurate and efficient than human mechanical control.

Of course, what Liu Hai does here cannot reach this level. In the industrial field, hardware level is also very important.

Electroslag smelting technology is not difficult to say, it uses resistance heat to smelt metal, but what is the technology?It's just a series of numbers. When you get this number, you will find it very simple. When you don't get this number, you will find it very difficult.

This technology will also be of great help in subsequent engines, not just barrel technology.

During the break, Liu Hai went back to his hometown again.

In late January, Liu Hai came to work. He returned to his hometown and found some reference books on the aircraft carrier in the aircraft carrier space. He used a supercomputer to design an electroslag smelting technology suitable for the current working conditions.

Then he recorded the drawings and data, and when he returned to the maintenance department, he spread out the drawings and started working.

Of course, key data should be recorded in a small notebook, and the notebook should be destroyed when the time comes.

It's a bit like cheating on an exam, but there's no way around it, and bangs aren't omnipotent.

Speaking of which, it might be easier for Liu Hai to build an aircraft, but the current hardware environment in the aircraft manufacturing factory does not allow it.

Why should there be a small wind tunnel?It is impossible to say that an airplane can be built directly from drawings, even the smallest airplane. This is a bit shocking.

Speaking of which, if it were to be built, it would be better to build a low-speed diesel engine for ships. This thing makes sense.

After the Chinese New Year, Sun Aiguo did not have the opportunity to come to the maintenance department. This year's export task is huge.

--------------

On Hong Kong Island, Mr. Huo found someone to copy the concept drawing of the Two-Headed Wolf 400 CC supercar that Liu Hai sent to him last year on a huge advertising board at a scale of 1:5.

This Chinese New Year advertisement stands outside the Sihai Motorcycle flagship store in Hong Kong.

It attracted a large number of people to stop and take photos, and many motorcycle enthusiasts came all the way here to check in.

Some foreign media even took photos and publicized them in newspapers around the world.

This car is limited to 4000 units, and reservations have not yet started. Mr. Huo mainly wants to see the popularity of this car.

It has been almost a month since the Chinese New Year. Mr. Huo looked at the number of inquiries about the Double Wolf sports car and found that the number had far exceeded 4000.

"Master, do you want to increase the number of these vehicles? There are now more than 4000 people who are interested." The director of Sihai Motorcycle Factory handed a piece of data to Mr. Huo and then asked.

"Of course not, the quantity of 4000 units cannot be changed." Mr. Huo looked at the information and did not expect that more than 4000 people would inquire about this car in less than a month.

"So, what's the price of this car?" the factory director asked curiously.

"I'm going to hold a dealer meeting about this. Our base price is doubled from last time. As for them, I think they have a better way." Mr. Huo doesn't know how much the outside price is, but he gives it to the dealer. The price will definitely have to be doubled. These dealers made a lot of money last time.

"Then I'll notify them to come for a meeting?" the director of Sihai Motorcycle Factory asked.

"Inform them of a meeting in a week and discuss the sale of this car." Mr. Huo is prepared to make the hype bigger this time, and I believe this is what the dealer wants to see.

In late January, Sihai Motorcycle dealers gathered on Hong Kong Island.

A new large hotel has been built here in Kowloon. This is a hotel specially built by Mr. Huo to entertain guests. It is said that the chef inside is the former palace chef in the mainland and is a royal chef.

Not to mention, since the news spread, the business of the hotel has been extremely good, and it is even more difficult to find a hotel during the New Year and holidays, so reservations must be made in advance.

At this time, there were many people from the old mainland society in Hong Kong. These people came to Hong Kong with their Wanguan family property. The people who used to cook for the emperor were cooking here, and everyone came to eat. Those who know these people will know that it is true when they ask the chef for details.

On Daiying's side, there is also a lot of affection for the royal family.

The reception was held on the top floor of the 42nd floor, a huge and open restaurant overlooking the bay.

This is a top-notch banquet restaurant. It doesn’t have certain capabilities and you can’t make a reservation even if you want to.

There are not many dealers, only a dozen or so. With these ten or two people, there are only more than 30 people.

But there are at least 30 people serving these 60 people, which means that one person has at least two people serving them.

This allowed these dealers to see their past glory days. In the past, European nobles had countless servants to serve them.

"Mr. Huo, I want at least 1000 units of the Two-Headed Wolf sports car this time. I have too many customers. Recently, I dare not enter my study because the ringtone of the phone inside is too harsh." A bald man The fat middle-aged man spoke while the waiter behind was taking away the plates.

Before Mr. Huo could reply, a young man next door to the fat man sneered: "You are a nouveau riche in the countryside, and you don't deserve to own such a high-end sports car. Our empire on which the sun never sets has enough foundation. I should get 1000 car quota.”

"Please, Little John, we are here to make money. As long as others have money, why not sell it?" Opposite the young man, a middle-aged man spread his hands and said.

"Supercars can't be bought with money. We have to make sure of this. Just like us gentlemen sitting together, and then a reckless and rude cowboy comes to sit with us, I think we all feel that today This dinner is disgusting." The young man shook his head, looked at the two red slices of beef on the plate, and said as he stuck a fork into it. "I think Little John is right. We don't sell cars to serve the rude nouveau riche, but to serve elites with a certain social status. If you want to buy this car, you must at least have a city councilor in your family. identity." Someone said in agreement.

"No, no, you guys are just talking for politicians. I think it should be measured by social status, such as philanthropists, scientists, and artists. We should focus on this."

The banquet was held at a traditional European long table. A dozen dealers sat with Mr. Huo, talking loudly while eating.

While these people were eating, they were looking at the menu beside them. All the dishes were served in separate portions. There was only one bite in a plate, and if there was no more, just one bite, or a small bite.

There are also a lot of wines nearby, but the wines here are all processed, such as soaked plum wine or other wines.

In this way, these gringos can easily accept that high-level liquor can be very harsh on their throats.

Of course, there was also red wine, which was bought from the people on site.

If Mr. Huo opens a hotel here, he must have all kinds of drinks and ingredients.

"Mr. Huo, this beef tastes very good, and it tastes particularly good when eaten raw." The young man just put two pieces of beef on his fork, put a little red sauce next to it, and said.

"This is a type of yak that lives above an altitude of 4000 meters. When transported to our side from an altitude of 4000 meters, this type of yak will be in an oxygen-intoxicated state. This kind of fresh beef can only be eaten when the weather is cold. Because the weather is hot, there is no way to transport it." Mr. Huo explained here.

In order to build the world's top hotel, what ingredients are the most rare and what are the most high-end? Yak is not easy to transport. Will there be a mortality rate from high altitude to low altitude?This is not appropriate.

Or is it a seasonal thing?

Isn’t that what European aristocrats like?
"Oh, there is such a thing?" The young man suddenly realized and thought about it carefully. Unfortunately, there was only a little bit of sauce flavor. What does beef taste like?I just thought of it, but now I can’t remember it because two pieces are too few.

However, nobles certainly cannot eat the same dishes at the same table, so even if the young man still wants to eat, he has to wait until next time.

The meal lasted for nearly four hours. These people changed their wine glasses and wines to several different types, and the ingredients were served intermittently, but these dealers didn't care at all.

In the end, the dealers reached an agreement to conduct an auction. To be eligible for the auction, the identity of the previous owner of a super motorcycle sports car or the owner's friend must be present.

It won't work if you don't accept reservations from strangers, no matter how rich you are, if you don't have the identity of the previous owner of a super motorcycle or sports car, or if you haven't been taken to the auction house by the owner of a sports car.

Mr. Huo came home in the evening and was amazed by the plan proposed by the dealers today.

The next day, Mr. Huo came to the company to inform the staff living here in the mainland about the matter, and then placed the order.

At least 2000 units of the Two-Headed Wolf sports car will be produced within this year, and the remaining 2000 units will be delivered within next year.

----------------

In Kyoto, Sun Aiguo came to the maintenance department with the order and found Liu Hai: "Xiao Liu, Mr. Huo has already placed an order for your two-headed wolf sports car. Let's build ten prototypes first and three prototypes. It will be delivered within a month, and the remaining 2000 units will be delivered this year."

"Then the remaining 2000 units will be delivered gradually next year."

Liu Hai took the order from Sun Aiguo, nodded and said, "Then we can only deploy workers in the workshop to do this."

Supercars are basically made by hand, including casting and polishing, so they need experts in the workshop to do this.

"Of course, I'll leave it to you to handle this. We must create high-quality products." Sun Aiguo said immediately.

Liu Hai nodded: "The number of workers will be smaller this time. After all, there are only 2000 units this year."

What Liu Hai said was actually to screen out some workers. During the last supercar production management, some people were not so obedient.

This kind of super sports car is bought by the super rich, and the details must be in place. For example, the stainless steel tubes surrounding it must be made by bending the entire tube.

Last time, some workers ignored instructions and welded stainless steel pipes together for use. No matter how good their welding skills were, there was still a scar. The super rich would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing it.

There are also other small details, and there must be no flaws. Even if they are invisible, first-class craftsmanship must be achieved.

What supports the brand?Is it supported by word of mouth?Just like the back of the fuel tank, the bangs also require careful polishing, but in the eyes of some people, this is a waste of time because it is an invisible place.

This time, Liu Hai used the excuse that his output was not large and rejected these guys who liked to flirt with him.

Because for such a person, the more you explain, the more he thinks he is right; the more you explain, the less reasonable he thinks you are.

Saving is a good thing, but it depends on where it is placed. Even if an ordinary person buys a motorcycle, there will be welding marks here and welding marks there.

When someone buys your car for the first time, they feel butterflies in their heart. Will they buy your car a second time?

Just like in later generations, the cars produced by some car companies look smooth on the surface, but have bumps and bumps in invisible places.

The car owner doesn't say anything on the surface, but he must feel uncomfortable in his heart, and he will never buy a car like yours next time.

"Do as you say." Sun Aiguo didn't think too much. Anyway, he left the matter to Liu Hai.

"I heard that there is the kind of smelting technology you mentioned in Shanghai. Would you like to bring me a piece of technical information?" Sun Aiguo asked again.

Liu Hai pointed to the drawing and said: "The drawing is almost done. I recently built a small test bed. When the weather allows to repair the house, I will let the construction department carry out the construction according to the drawing."

"That's good. When your technology is ready, we can start making cranes. There is a huge demand for cranes in the country." When Sun Aiguo heard what Liu Hai said, he stopped looking for the ministry. After all, he used others to make cranes. The technology still sounds a bit unpleasant, even though they are all brothers.

"I already have a rough idea of ​​making a series of tool carts by then, which will be very helpful for our project construction. In addition, I also want to upgrade the factory's equipment. I will probably do these things first this year." Liu Hai nodded and told the factory director about this year's plan.
