“It’s been many years since I’ve worked in such a good environment with no restrictions. I really miss the feeling back then!”
Da Qizi, with his hands behind his back, walked with Ji Donglai from one end of the factory to the other.
The large factory building is fourteen meters high and has an old-fashioned overhead crane, which has a natural advantage when unloading trucks.
The construction of the furnace foundation was accelerated due to the efforts of the workers. The mixing station transferred from Tashkent was constructed around the clock, and steel bars imported from China were filled in for free.
Aluminum block molds are easy to make and are already on the way in China. For the rest of the small parts and the casting of large equipment bases required for the ammonia synthesis project, Da Qizi suggested that they be made locally. In one word: cheap.
"Master Qi, I'll leave this to you completely. You have worked with the former Soviets, so you understand the bad temper of these people. If you can handle it, I will rely on you to help."
"They will like you if you have a steady personality. In addition, I will ask someone to dig a well locally. The land over there is ours. When we have nothing to do, we can grow some domestic vegetables. If they can sell them, you can make money. If they can't, just keep it to yourself." eat."
"I have been here for a long time. The biggest limitation here is that there are no vegetables. Except for skin teeth, it is Caledonian and I can eat tomatoes as I like. After a long time, I will get tired of it. I will give you full autonomy here. I am here I have also met some Chinese people locally. If you can get orders from them, I will also give you a commission..."
While stabilizing the order, he also stabilized his subordinates. Ji Donglai did not expect how much money this order would make for him.
Next, moving closer to Chevrolet is the key point. The steering pump and oil pump have successfully entered Chevrolet. If the casting side can still enter, then it means that it is really stable.
Da Qi Zi himself has a technical background, coupled with his stable character equivalent to that of an elephant, he is extremely trustworthy wherever he is placed.
The initial list of scrap aluminum that Xin Li contacted did not show much, but when the goods were inspected, Ji Donglai and everyone were confused.
"They're all ours?"
Pointing to the pressed aluminum blocks in the fifteen carriages, Ji Donglai and Da Qizi were both a little confused.
"It's all yours. There will be so many more next month. We'll sell them on a list."
"Fuck!"
"peat!"
"There are beans!"
"I'm so full now, I could choke to death!"
Looking at such a big car, Ji Donglai waved his hands at Da Qi Zi. Da Oolong didn't say anything at all, so he took out his phone and shook his hand. The transportation of large aluminum blocks is definitely not as simple as it is said. The old-fashioned tractor pulls a bucket that has no purpose, and coupled with the rickety box board, Ji Donglai seriously doubts that this thing will fall apart halfway.
The driver of the car looked like he was drunk. Everything you said was OK, and he wanted to leave without even telling where the location was. Fortunately, the workers responded quickly enough, otherwise this car of aluminum might not have gone anywhere. .
A trainload of pressed aluminum blocks weighs less than twenty tons, and two large tractors can transport it just fine. Behind is the local Kamaz flat-head truck, which is still an outdated product. Ji Donglai only now knows that such old equipment still exists in the world.
All the aluminum blocks were piled next to the furnace like big radishes. The local workers saw this and started to speed up the progress unconsciously.
The roller machines from China began to clear customs at the Horgos Port. This time Xinli chose to ship the goods from LYG, saving a lot of money on the entire freight.
In addition to imported scrap pressed aluminum blocks this time, Ji Donglai also imported a lot of aluminum plates. The overall price is much cheaper than importing from other countries.
Da Qi Zi insists on importing aluminum ingots from Russia, and they are all standard aluminum bars.
"Mr. Ji, the process here is actually not difficult. From here, the aluminum strips are rolled into aluminum plates. Then I cut them here, then round them, and then we perform three-step stretching..."
Don't look at a simple non-stick pan. The process doesn't look complicated, but it is very tedious.
From scrap aluminum blocks to aluminum bars, the next step is directly into the roller machine for rolling and pressing into aluminum plates with a fixed thickness. Then the cutting machine cuts into small aluminum plates, and the next step is into fixed circular plates.
Then perform two-step stretching on the stretching machine, and this step is directly accompanied by flanging.
Then the entire surface is sprayed with Teflon, and the next step is to use the waste heat of the furnace to solidify the Teflon surface. Because it is heated by gas, the coating on the bottom of the non-stick pan will eventually need to be removed.
The handle mounting hole on the side of the stamping pot is very simple, fixing the machine position and matching the foot switch.
Stainless steel handles are simpler. The stainless steel rods exported from China are burned red in the furnace. The next step is to put them into the mold, press it down, and bend and punch the handles to form them.
Occasionally, there are substandard products, and workers are too lazy to repair them. They just throw them in the corner to wait for refining and reprocessing.
The injection molding workshop for high-temperature-resistant plastic handles is right next to the casting workshop. The 48-cavity mold is very huge, all imported from China.
Making a product once is enough to assemble it here for three months.
Every time the mold is preheated directly next to the furnace, Da Qizi makes full use of energy.
For the rubber parts workshop, Ji Donglai thought about it again and again and decided to import it from China. The production cost was really high.
"Boss, there is a boss here looking for you."
Machinery and equipment in the workshop are being put in place one after another. Da Qizi and Da Wulong are very busy every day. Only Ji Donglai can sit in the office and drink tea. Li Xiaojuan, as Ji Donglai's royal translator, is busy working on the side.
The guard introduced someone to Ji Donglai, and he didn't take off the mask until the guard left.
"Mueller, why are you doing this? My dear, sit down quickly!"
The person who came was none other than Muller, the original Purchasing Manager of Uzi-Daewoo Automobile. Ji Donglai got the steering pump and oil pump from him, and the benefits have already been seen.
"Mr. Ji, I'm sorry, the management is very strict now. I want to bring you good news. Our company's Chevrolet steering parts were originally supplied by a local casting company. Wasn't Uzi Daewoo Motors bankrupt in the previous stage? .”
"This company went bankrupt. We took some measures. Someone bought the operating rights of this company, but this company could not produce. We purchased the corresponding parts from Russia and sold them to Chevrolet."
"But the price is very expensive. I heard from your workers that you can also do casting. I want to ask if you can do it? If you can do it, we can cooperate..."
Muller inherited the genes of all outstanding talents in Uzbekistan, and he always spoke in such a roundabout way.
Ji Donglai listened to Li Xiaojuan's translation for a while before he realized that the previous company that supplied automobile casting parts to Uzi Daewoo was actually the front axle company.
