But when it comes to formal production, large orders often fall into the hands of foreign-funded or joint venture factories like Swell Company, and small factories jointly developed can only get very small orders.
But there is absolutely no problem in supporting a small factory with these orders. There are countless small factories in China that are affiliated with the elevator factory in Tianjin.
A large number of factories are eliminated every year because they cannot afford it.
Without independent research and development capabilities, he could only be at the mercy of the technical engineers at the elevator factory, and he had no idea what the direction of his efforts should be. What's more, designers don't know the direction, especially when it comes to polymer materials, such as rubber springs and plastic physical properties.
Of course stamping, metal materials...everything is very important.
Regardless of the fact that these engineers have obtained good positions in foreign companies with their high academic qualifications abroad, it is difficult for one of them to have such a wide range of knowledge reserves!
There are very few people like Li Dequn who can accumulate so much knowledge and obtain the title of chief engineer before the age of forty. But the other side also has shortcomings, English!
The other person is a technical person and cannot handle English well, otherwise he would have been promoted long ago.
Ji Donglai worked in elevators for at least eight years in his previous life, adjusting small products like elevator sliding boots with his hands.
"It's simple. If you have any questions, I'll answer them for you! The actual investor of that factory is my classmate's father. When foreigners inspect samples, they do sabotage experiments on the spot..."
After completing the handover with Li Dequn, Ji Donglai felt infinitely happy.
I directly modified this document, then printed it out and took it directly to the factory.
"Do you need to open so many molds at once?"
Looking at the mold drawings Ji Donglai brought over, Lu Shipeng's eyes were full of surprise.
Ji Donglai designed the molds for this set of sliding boots. There were twelve sets of molds for cutting the main part alone, and three sets of molds for bending.
The sliding shoe guide rail frame has two sets of molds for cutting, two sets of molds for pressing, and three sets of molds for shaping and bending.
The skeleton of the rubber spring needs two sets of cutting molds and one set of molds for reinforcing the ribs.
When the entire skeleton was being welded, Ji Donglai opened three sets of molds. After all, it was impossible for Ji Donglai to make this kind of mass production by hand with his butt sticking out.
The quality and stability of the products produced in this way are much poorer, and it is easy to hurt people. In addition, the efficiency is too low.
As for the plastic slide rail liner, Ji Donglai opened a set of molds, and the transfer mold for the rubber spring. Ji Donglai opened a mold with sixteen cavities.
Ji Donglai had a bit of a problem with the non-standard bolts inside. They were very large, tapping was a problem, and the surface treatment required galvanizing.
Moreover, the main surface of the sliding shoe frame is required to be sprayed with plastic. It just so happens that Ji Donglai's particleboard factory has this process. The two can be combined in theory. All it takes is a slight modification and the addition of static electricity.
It seems to be a simple small product, but Ji Donglai needs a lot of things to make it. He really can't find supporting equipment nearby, so Ji Donglai can only bring the product to Hebei for surface treatment.
"It's hard to buy steel plates of this thickness. This is a full-size plate, and the price is at least several hundred yuan per ton..."
Looking at the five millimeter full-scale board on the drawing, Ding Aixing felt a little worried.
During this period of time when Ji Dong came here to work, Ding Aixing learned a lot, especially all kinds of hard-core knowledge, which Ding Aixing had no access to at school.
According to the experience taught by Ji Donglai, cold-rolled plates and hot-rolled plates are two completely different standards. Cold-rolled plates basically meet the thickness requirements.
The vast majority of hot-rolled plates do not meet the requirements, especially domestic steel rolling mills that generally cut corners. If they want to make more money, they have to work hard on the thickness.
With a size of five microns, a roll of steel measuring tens to hundreds of thousands meters can be sold for hundreds or even thousands more. These are all details that exist in reality. They may seem casual, but they are huge profits for steel rolling mills.
"I have a way with the steel. You guys are experimenting with the process. Once you get the mold back, remember not to stop for a moment. This job is a big deal!"
Ji Ping's factory is a dry-rolled steel factory. Ji Dong had a chat with his father a few days before he came, but the factory's efficiency is not good now. When profits were good, there were four black and white electricians at the factory, but now only one electrician, Ji Ping, is left.
And since the schedule was not full, Ji Ping had the opportunity to make extra money. Ji Donglai was relatively familiar with the factory owner.
"I'm too lazy to open a book for you with your skills. Dong Lai, what's your position in that factory now? How many can they use?"
Yu Wei, the owner of the steel rolling mill, was sitting in the reception room, playing chess with his men and chatting with Ji Donglai.
Ji Ping's family background, Yu Wei knew, was not the kind to make a lot of friends, so Yu Wei guessed that Ji Donglai was at most a clerk at a foreign company, and nothing else.
"I work as a translator, and I happened to come across this drawing. I saw that there was a lot of work this time, so I will buy some steel plates from you now. I heard my father say that your rolling mill here has a lot of steel plates. We all We are acquaintances, and we have a higher degree of trust in each other's work. The factory has regulations and the payment cycle may be a little longer. Can you do this?"
Looking at Yu Wei, he expressed great importance. Ji Donglai directly stated that he was the translator of Swell Company, but Yu Wei just raised his head.
"Yes, the price list of our steel plates is available at the sales place, just ask them! But we can't do it on credit, and I'm not the only shareholder in our steel rolling mill, so I can't accommodate you. Please understand!"
Looking at Ji Donglai who was still a child, Yu Wei had a look of disdain on his face and secretly said to himself, "You little brat, are you going to be a translator?"
There are so many college students in the capital that those foreign-funded factories don’t necessarily want them, but do they want you? joke! Such a big scam happened to a family of real electricians!
Furthermore, the factory's performance is not good now, and Ji Ping's salary is also depressed. Yu Wei thinks that Ji Donglai is just playing a show with Ji Ping and is planning to get some steel as collateral.
In case the salary cannot be paid, the steel will be taken away directly. This despicable method has been used by Yu Wei in his early years.
Nowadays, there are a lot of steel products all over the country, and sales are in trouble, even close to the Beijing area! Yu Wei has a large amount of steel stored in his warehouse and hopes to find a suitable buyer, but it is definitely not a half-grown child like Ji Donglai.
They all said that the economic situation would improve. Yu Wei was also waiting, so he saw the road construction, but not the rest. Yu Wei got angry thinking about it.
"Uncle, my father is still working for you, can't you be accommodating?"
Looking at Yu Wei's appearance, Ji Donglai was a little disappointed.
After all, Ji Ping had worked in Yuwei's company for more than ten years, so even if he was an acquaintance, his reputation would not be like this.
