Chapter 399 Developing the economy? Of course free trade

  Xu Zhengyang was a little emotional.

  Mingzhou Group not only belongs to China, but also belongs to the world. Mingzhou Group has launched its own brand. The rainbow country at the southern tip of Africa, the engineer who builds the aircraft, actually knows Mingzhou Group.

   "I will take the passenger plane back tomorrow. You can go with us, or you can stay temporarily and invite your former colleagues to go with us. We will also leave special people to do this work."

   "I'm staying, I want to help my former colleagues, and I can help you too." Vanessa said.

   For those of them who are not willing to go to the western world to find a job, this is the best choice. In fact, those who go to the West may not be able to integrate into Western society, even if they have the same skin, the same eyes, and the same race hundreds of years ago, they have lived in the same place for hundreds of years. Here, their own ethnic group has formed, not to mention, the West still looks at them with colored glasses.

  Although they are skilled and capable, they can only engage in physical labor. It would be great if they could go to the East, start new research, and live the old life.

  Vanessa knows that there are many people like her, she can't leave alone, that's too selfish.

Qin Tao knows that although the Carver project carried out by Atlas is not advanced compared with the domestic J-10, and it cannot be compared with J-31, the technicians here also have a few brushes of.

  They know they are vulnerable, so they focus on key areas of R&D, such as high-strength composite materials, integrated digital avionics and communication systems, and jet engine development.

  Take the engine as an example. Although the performance is outdated, they still need to improve, such as using single crystal materials to make turbines, such as welding instead of riveting to make the front compressor and so on.

  The research results of these technicians can also be brought to China. After all, the entire Carver project cost 2 billion US dollars, which is still 2 billion US dollars in the 1980s!

  Qin Tao took out the money again.

   "In this case, can you accept my assistance? Now, you are already an employee, and I am an employer. This money is for you to settle down."

  Looking at the stack of dollars, Vanessa nodded: "Thank you, thank you very much."

  Leave contact information, let Xu Zhengyang contact the embassy here to take care of the follow-up matters, Qin Tao returned to the hotel.

   "President Qin, you are finally back!" When Qin Tao came back, he saw Davidson.

   "The city here is so beautiful, let's take a look around, what's wrong? Is everything settled?" Qin Tao asked Davidson.

"Yes, after evaluation, if Nuotic Company wants to stay out of bankruptcy, it can only accept your suggestion, and you will become a shareholder of this company. Moreover, after our leader heard about it, he was also very interested. He wants to See you."

lead? Could it be the person who sang in the glory days?

  Qin Tao was a little curious, but to him, what important person had he never seen? Think of it as meeting an indigenous chief.

  When Qin Tao passed by, it was almost evening, and the leader was still working at his desk, full of hope in his heart.

   "Mr. Qin, our Nautik company is facing difficulties. At this time, we are very touched that you can lend a helping hand to help us." The leader said.

"I'm sorry, leader, there is a very good song in our country. I don't know if I can sing it to you here?" Qin Tao said, "When I sing, my secretary will translate the lyrics for you. .”

Sing?

  The leader was very curious, and Davidson, who brought Qin Tao here, was even more curious. He didn't know what kind of medicine Qin Tao sold in this gourd.

  The leader nodded.

  So Qin Tao cleared his throat and began to sing.

  "The bell rang the signal to return home, in his life, there seemed to be a bit of embarrassment..."

   Xu Zhengyang stood opposite the leader and translated the meaning of the lyrics to the leader.

   While translating the first sentence, the leader's eyes widened. Originally, he only planned to have a few words with Qin Tao, but now, he completely put down his pen and listened intently.

  "Years and months have turned possession into loss, tired eyes are full of expectations, today there is only a remnant body, welcome the glorious years, and hold on to freedom in the wind and rain..."

  The leader's eyes were moist.

   This song is simply made for him. It is a portrayal of his life, and even Davidson is a little moved.

   After Qin Tao finished singing a song, the leader wiped his eyes with his hand, stood up, walked towards Qin Tao solemnly, and held Qin Tao's hand tightly.

   "Thank you very much, Mr. Qin, I didn't expect you to compose such a song for me and sing it for me yourself. Just now, I seem to have seen my life experience and our hope."

  Qin Tao had a smile on his face.

   Dealing with Lao Maozi relies on wine, dealing with Westerners relies on dollars, and coming to the rainbow country, what do you rely on? Of course it depends on the song "Glorious Years"!

  In the future, he can walk sideways in the Rainbow Kingdom.

  Those required clauses, even if written in the contract, may be difficult to implement, but as long as there is this song, Mingzhou Group can sit back and relax here in the future!

   After the handover of the shipyard is completed and construction officially starts, Qin Tao can get a speaker and play this song non-stop every day!

  However, Qin Tao also knows that he cannot pretend to be himself.

"I'm sorry, I just like to sing this song, but I didn't create it." Qin Tao introduced: "In the 1990s, a singer from a certain band in our country came with the "First Brigade of Love" on the radio station. When I went to Africa, I witnessed the suffering of the people here because of wars and famines, and even learned about your story of being trapped in prison, which resonated with my heart. At that time, the band was also struggling, and I think your spirit The connotation is about struggle and hope, so this song was written."

"It's about you, it's about this band, it's about countless people in this world who are struggling in adversity, don't give up hope, even from white hair to gray hair, life is endless, struggle is endless, life is a glorious time .”

  The leader nodded: "Yes, don't give up hope, even from black hair to white hair, life is endless, struggle is endless, and life is a glorious time. Mr. Qin, you are a good friend of our Rainbow Kingdom!"

   "Leader, can I take a photo with you?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

  As long as you take a group photo here, the shipyard can enlarge the photo and hang it on the wall in the future, double insurance!

  The leader nodded.

   Click!

  A precious photo came out like this, completely blessed by the song Glorious Years.

   "Can I meet this singer?"

   "I'm sorry, last year, when the singer was performing in the island country, he fell off the stage, and then..."

  Sometimes, God is really jealous of talents. Such an excellent singer suddenly encountered such an accident. Speaking of this, Qin Tao also felt a little emotional.

   Hearing that the singer had an accident last year, the leader also remained silent.

   "Although he left us, after all, there are still songs handed down. We living people have more things to do."

The leader nodded: "Yes, we want to develop our own country well. Mr. Qin, you created Mingzhou Group and became an elite in China's shipbuilding industry. You are a successful businessman, so we also want to know , in terms of economic development, what suggestions do you have?"

"In terms of economic development, of course free trade is necessary so that it can develop." Qin Tao said: "In the past, you set up a large number of tariff barriers, which was very detrimental to the development of trade. You see, we in China are also Actively striving to join the WTO and lower our tariffs is to better develop our economy."

  In the past, the tariffs in the Rainbow Country were quite high, so goods from various countries could not enter the market of the Rainbow Country. After all, this is the only developed country in Africa, and the market potential here is huge.

  Although the big guys have been shouting about trade barriers for many years, the Rainbow Country is unmoved.

   Now, Qin Tao has brought out this set of rhetoric.

  You don’t open the door, how can you trade with other countries in the world?

"For example, after we took over the Nautik company, we will start to produce luxury catamaran yachts with the world's advanced level. However, we understand that the steel here cannot meet our needs. If we want to produce You can only import steel from China, but you will pay high tariffs, and when it is produced, the price of this catamaran yacht will be high, and eventually lose its competitiveness.”

  “If the tariff is reduced to a reasonable level, or even zero tariff, we can obtain marine steel plates at a lower cost, and then build yachts, and the yachts we build will also have a price advantage, so that we can develop.”

What Qin Tao said was quite reasonable, and the leader nodded: "Actually, many people are talking about tariffs. Now, it is no longer possible to close the door and develop yourself. You must develop in the international market. Therefore, it is indeed necessary to lower the relationship, it seems that we want to carry out free trade!"

Only Qin Tao suggested it, and the leader in front of him would definitely not agree. After all, he is not a fool, but many people are fooling around, and a few big hooligans are constantly advocating free trade. benefit.

   Now, what Qin Tao said is just the straw that broke the camel's back.

  After the previous foreshadowing, what Qin Tao said today made the leader who was moved make a decision.

  At this moment, Qin Tao's heart almost jumped out of his chest with excitement.

  He just wanted to take a passenger plane from here to return to his motherland. For him, this place was just a transit point, but how much did he do during this short one-day stay?

  Bought a shipyard and fooled a group of experts back. Now, the man in front of him even agreed to completely open up the market and carry out free trade!

China in the 1990s was an important period of development and growth. Huge products made in China must have a market. Although many have been sold to the United States and Europe, it is not enough. Now, a new huge market has emerged up!

Before that, there was almost no trade between China and the Rainbow Country, and some sporadic diamonds, etc., were nothing at all. Now, with the wave of the leader in front of him, Chinese products will be continuously transported over. Occupy the huge market here!

  Others, Qin Tao can't control it. At least, the clothing factory under Mu Ma must adjust the production plan quickly and transport a large number of men's clothing to the Rainbow Country!

  How can I dress in rags before? Now, everyone living in this land must have a decent suit!

  Mommy's factory has expanded its production scale by ten times, and I'm afraid it won't be enough!

Qin Tao remembers clearly that after talking to his mother, she went to negotiate with the leader. The Mingzhou Garment Factory now belongs to a joint-stock enterprise. The garment factory is here.

   Now, taking advantage of the opening of the rainbow country, and selling a large number of clothes, the profit of the clothing factory will increase astonishingly this year, which can be used as the mother's performance.

   When he came out of the leader's residence, Qin Tao was still immersed in excitement.

  Back to the hotel, after dinner, Xu Zhengyang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

   "Mr. Qin, the thorough opening up and free trade you said can really make the country's economy develop?"

"How is it possible? Free trade can only bring disaster to the country's industry." Qin Tao said: "Internationally, there are always some products produced by some countries that have an advantage in market competition, and tariffs play a regulatory role. Only by making foreign products lose some competitiveness can we protect the healthy development of domestic products. If the country is completely opened up and foreign products flood in, how can domestic enterprises survive? "

For China, automobile companies are a living example. Vehicles imported from abroad must be charged certain tariffs, and some vehicles even have high tariffs. If tariffs are not charged, foreign cars with high quality and low price will enter the domestic market. All the auto factories in the country closed down.

  If the domestic auto industry collapses, foreigners can raise prices unscrupulously, anyway, they can only import.

   "Then you still make this kind of suggestion to Rainbow Country?"

"Why, is there a problem?" Qin Tao said, "I'm a businessman, not a philanthropist. The tariffs here are too high. How can I do business? There are no tariffs here, and a large number of light industrial products in our country can be sold Come in, we are made in China with high quality and low price, and we can completely occupy the market here, isn’t it good?”

  Xu Zhengyang immediately understood that Qin Tao was pushing the boat along the way, helping a large number of domestic enterprises to find a market for their products!

"These are trivial things. Let go of the industry, and the next step is to let go of the financial industry. After returning home, say hello to our domestic banks and come here to make a fortune. Yes, leave me a few of today's photo boards, we It will be hung in the factory in the future," Qin Tao said.

   Xu Zhengyang will of course take care of such trivial matters.

   The itinerary here has come to an end. For Qin Tao, it was just passing by, but he did not expect to gain a lot.

   There were no other accidents, and the follow-up matters would naturally be left to others to arrange. Qin Tao took the next day's passenger plane and flew directly back to Huating.

  Every time I go out, there will be a lot of things and a lot of time wasted. When I come back this time, the thing Qin Tao wants to do the most is to go home and see his wife and children.

  However, just after getting off the plane, the mobile phone rang.

   "Mr. Qin, I can finally contact you. We want to report a good news to you."

   "What good news?" Qin Tao didn't recognize who was talking, and he didn't think it was good news. At this time, he was completely focused on his wife and children.

   "We just used 3D printing technology to make a part of a Tomcat fighter jet."

  Department of Materials, Huating University, Institute of 3D Printing Technology.

  Wang Hua's face was full of pride.

   This part is not big, just an ordinary titanium alloy screw, but it is not made by ordinary machining, but printed out layer by layer directly in the printer!

  With the help of materials experts from Huating University, they finally took a historic step, which will be written into the history of machining!

Therefore, after the parts were made, Wang Hua was eager to tell Qin Tao the good news. After all, the research and development of this project cost a lot of money. If there is no strong financial support from Mingzhou Group, then he is completely complete Can't make this invention!

   When Qin Tao arrived, it happened to be in the afternoon. In the 3D Printing Research Institute, there were not only technicians, but also some experts and professors from the school. They were all very moved.

   "I have been studying machine parts for a lifetime, but I never thought I could use this method!"

   "Yeah, this is a great invention!"

  Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Qin Tao walked in, and before he could speak, he saw Wang Hua running over.

   "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin! Fortunately, we have finally made this 3D printing technology!"

   "How about it, can the strength of the material produced by this method be compared with other processing methods?" Qin Tao is concerned about this.

   "Of course." Wang Hua said: "We have conducted various tests, and the mechanical strength has not changed at all."

   "Well, then this project can shift from scientific research to engineering practice. I will provide some drawings, and you will be responsible for processing the parts, and then you can make a profit."

   "Engineering practice, so fast?"

  Everyone couldn't believe it.

They didn't know that Qin Tao had already taken this business over. When he was in Anxi, he saw that the Tomcat fighter jet lacked various parts. Of course, Qin Tao wanted to help. Many of the titanium alloy parts can be printed with 3D. technology made.

   "Of course, this machine has to be made bigger, and some parts may be bigger."

  The current printers are no different from ordinary desktop printers. They can only make some small parts. If you want to make larger parts, the machine will not be able to fit them. Therefore, Qin Tao put forward new requirements.

   "Well, it's just that the size of the head is different, but the principle has not changed. We want to enlarge the machine, there is no problem." Wang Hua nodded.

   "This is to make a three-dimensional part. It seems that we have mastered a lot of principles of three-dimensional automatic equipment through this project." Qin Tao said.

   This was said to the experts from Huating University present. Qin Tao already had a new idea in his mind.

   "Boss Qin, do you have any new ideas?" Elder Cao who was present was already familiar with Qin Tao, so he immediately asked.

   "That's right, if our technology is okay, I would like to entrust our university to design a special machine for us. If it is built, we can cooperate with our Mingzhou Group."

   "What machine?"

"Well, if you give it a name, it should be called a large-scale three-dimensional numerical control plate bending machine for ships. Its size is the same as that of our conventional ship steel plates, but there are countless outriggers underneath. Under the control of digital technology, These outriggers can move up and down, which turns a plane into a three-dimensional shape. We put the steel plate on it, and it can be bent into the desired shape. In this way, the three-dimensional drawings we design are directly transmitted to this machine , the steel plate can be bent into the corresponding shape.”

  Everyone's eyes widened.

  Huating University is not a professional ship engineering university, but after all, it is next to the sea, and there are many shipyards, so everyone knows something about shipbuilding.

  The first step in shipbuilding is to cut the steel plate, and the second step is to bend the steel plate into the corresponding shape.

  If a certain ship is to be built in batches, then it is possible to make a mold and directly press the steel plate out. But the current shipbuilding industry no longer has that kind of brilliance, and it is difficult to have a large number of ships of the same model.

   It is very common for a ship to have the same shape. At this time, it is necessary to test the craftsmanship of a dedicated master shipbuilder.

Internationally, shipyards mainly use hand-operated presses and water and fire bending plates to form three-dimensional curved ship plates. The production efficiency is low, the pollution is serious, and the technology is difficult. It has become a major obstacle to the development of advanced ship manufacturing technology and a problem that plagues the world's shipbuilding. technical challenge.

  So, shipbuilding is actually still in the era of handicraft production, and large-scale mass production has not been realized.

  However, with the development of technology, a solution finally appeared: use computer technology to manufacture three-dimensional molds, mass processing!

   And this technology was developed and matured in China, and domestic warships can serve a large number of dumplings, which is also inseparable from this invention.

   "What Mr. Qin said is similar to our previous movable type printing, except that the movable type can move up and down, so that it can be made into various shapes."

   "However, it is very difficult to press the steel plate, especially the head of this movable type. It must be able to move and adjust to the required angle."

   Sure enough, everyone is smart.

"That's right, this is the key. I have a solution here. I call it a square plate pressure head adjustable movable mold plate surface forming device. Now I will introduce its basic principle. You can apply for a patent, but you cannot explain it to us. The state group collects royalties."

  Boss Qin is so awesome, he can do anything!
