Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

January 9, 2009.

Imperial City Hall.

This is not the first time for Cao Yang to come here.

The mood is very different every time I come.

Since I had gotten some rumors beforehand, I knew that Nanshan Group must have an award-winning project.

So Cao Yang also brought over the leaders of several key projects.

Zeng Jianying, general manager of Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

Xie Lingyun, general manager of Nanshan Special Steel.

Cheng Tao, general manager of Nanshan Engine.

Pan Jinxing, general manager of Nanshan Equipment.

Lin Cheng from Nanshan Battery and Zhang Jing from Nanshan Semiconductor were also brought here.

Of course, secretary Mi Ying and sales director Zeng Tingting would not miss this opportunity.

"Ayang, I think Nanshan Group can focus on applying for academicians in the future. With your technical level, it is quite normal for the entire Nanshan Group to have three or five academicians."

"Even for your main business units, it's normal to have one or two in each company."

Xiang Changle also attended today's conference as the director of the wind tunnel laboratory.

But there is a high probability that he will get a consolation prize, or not even a consolation prize.

He was mentally prepared for this.

But Nanshan Group is different. They have launched many outstanding achievements in recent years.

This is not comparable to ordinary scientific research institutions.

The most critical thing about Nanshan Group is that it not only sounds great, but the response in the market is also very powerful.

This is amazing.

"That's indeed the case, but I think your qualifications are almost there, teacher. If you don't get selected this year, there should be no problem next year, right?"

Cao Yang himself did not take academicians or non-academicians seriously.

But if the group has a bunch of academicians, the corresponding publicity effect should be very good.

From this perspective, it is really worth considering.

Sinopec and PetroChina can have a lot of academicians, but there is no reason why Nanshan Group cannot.

"This also depends on a bit of luck. No one knows what the final result will be until the results are announced."

Although Xiang Changle had a certain degree of confidence in his heart, he really didn't dare to brag casually.

Otherwise, he will be the one who is embarrassed when the time comes.

"Teacher, please help us recommend a few more candidates."

"That's definitely no problem. In fact, the problem of candidates can be easily solved. The academicians of our school are definitely willing to help nominate the elites of Nanshan Group. The premise is that you must be prepared in this regard, otherwise the nomination will just be a running show. share.”

On such a solemn occasion today, Xiang Changle is definitely not suitable to speak very straightforwardly.

But Cao Yang also understood the general meaning.

"You are right, I will start making arrangements after I return this time."

“Some of our senior experts are university professors themselves, and their technical level is now among the best in the industry.”

Not all of the technologies Cao Yang "brought out" were in his own name.

As a company owner, there is no need to take all the credit for yourself.

Giving part of the profits to your subordinates can make some people more loyal.

Whether it is the development of carbon fiber or special steel, or the W16 engine and 15L large-displacement diesel engine, there are all considerations in this regard.

Even in every business department of Nanshan Group, Cao Yang distributed profit and credit to the people below.

This is also an important reason why employees of Nanshan Group have a high sense of accomplishment.

Anyone whose company is working for can come up with something that is nationally or even globally leading every now and then will have an enhanced sense of accomplishment.

"Our group should have also joined some industry associations. It would be good for you to have more exchanges with some old experts."

"The selection of academicians starts from the nomination in February this year to the announcement of the results at the end of the year. The process in between is not a simple mathematical problem."

Xiang Changle was very satisfied with Cao Yang, a student.

So he also said some things more straightforwardly.

"Well, when the time comes, I will form a team within the company to handle this matter."

Naturally, Cao Yang would not be so ignorant, and he would not take it for granted that Nanshan Group has many advanced technologies, so a bunch of academician places would be given to relevant personnel.

How could it be so childish?

While the two were talking, the leaders began to enter.

The awards ceremony will start soon.

Neither Cao Yang nor Xiang Changle spoke anymore.

After that, there is naturally a fixed process, where the speeches are to be made, and then the formal awarding process is entered.

Among them, the National Science and Technology Progress Award that attracted the most attention, the special prize was awarded to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Project.

The main person who completed it and the unit who completed it chanted for several minutes.

There really is no other project that can compete with this project for the special prize.

Both the technical content and the difficulty of construction are rare in the world.

It deserves the special prize.

However, after the special prize is awarded, the first prize will be awarded soon.

At this time, everyone in Nanshan Group seemed a little nervous.

According to their speculation, the first prize should be a project of Nanshan Group.

"They are the guardians of the plateau, they are the road maintainers of the plateau. Day after day, year after year, they continue to study the construction and maintenance technology of plateau roads. The first National Science and Technology Progress Award will be announced first. The first prize goes to the "Permafrost Qinghai-Tibet Highway Construction and Maintenance Technology" project team, congratulations to them with applause."

Following the host's words, Cao Yang, Cheng Tao and others all clapped.

Although this project is not as difficult as the Qinghai-Tibet High-speed Railway, it is not far behind.

Winning the first prize is well deserved.

Just when Cao Yang was thinking about chatting and commenting with the people next to him, he heard the host start to say: "In 1879, Edison used cellulose fiber, such as bamboo, flax or cotton yarn as raw materials, and first made it. Carbon fiber was patented, but the mechanical properties of the fiber produced at that time were very low, and the process could not be industrialized, so it failed to develop."

"In the early 1950s, due to the development of cutting-edge technologies such as rockets, aerospace and aviation, there was an urgent need for new materials with high specific strength, specific modulus and high temperature resistance."

"The diameter of carbon fiber is only 5 microns, which is equivalent to one-tenth to one-twelfth of a hair, but its strength is more than four times that of aluminum alloy."

"In the early 1990s, high-performance and ultra-high-performance carbon fibers have been available. However, for a long time, my country's high-performance carbon fibers have been imported from overseas. Not only does it cost a lot of foreign exchange, but it is still impossible to buy the highest-grade international products. "

"Nanshan Carbon Fiber, under the leadership of Cao Yang, Zeng Jianying and others, has successfully developed China's own high-performance carbon fiber."

"The next winner of the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award is "Nanshan Carbon Fiber T800 High Performance Carbon Fiber"."

Following the host's words, everyone in the Nanshan Group naturally smiled.

Today is not in vain!

The next two first-prize projects are "Development of Fully Superconducting Non-circular Section Tokamak Nuclear Fusion Experimental Device (EAST)" and "Discovery of Molecular Groups Related to Malignant Phenotypes of Gastric Cancer and Establishment of Sequential Prevention Strategies" and Applications", have nothing to do with Nanshan Group.

Just when everyone thought that only one of the first prizes was a project of Nanshan Group.

The host continued: "Our country is a major steel factory and ranks first in the world in terms of crude steel output. However, in the field of high-end special steel, there has always been a certain gap with foreign advanced levels."

"Especially in a series of special steels for special purposes such as high-speed rail bearings, high-speed rail wheels, and high-speed rail axles, there is a clear gap with foreign countries."

"Nanshan Special Steel has been studying special steel technology since its establishment. It has not only developed bearing steel, mold steel and other products, but also solved the problems of high-speed rail bearings, high-speed rail wheels and high-speed rail axles that have hindered the development of China's high-speed rail."

"The next first-prize winning project is the "Nanshan Special Steel High-Precision Special Steel Independent Innovation and Industrialization Project."

When the host's words just landed, Xiang Changle next to Cao Yang couldn't believe it.

Nanshan Group actually won two first prize projects?

The key is that only 4 of the 12 first-prize projects have been announced so far, and half of them are from Nanshan Group.

Do you want it to be like this?

Fortunately, the next project was "Development and Engineering Application of Supercritical 600MW Thermal Power Plant Package", so Xiang Changle was not frightened.

However, before Xiang Changle could breathe a sigh of relief, the "Nanshan Engine W16 Engine Project" won another award.

This confused him!

One Nanshan Group won 4 of the first prizes.

Are you going to let others live?

I feel that other people's R\u0026D funds are used to treat guests to dinner, but are your R\u0026D funds used for serious research?

However, before Xiang Changle could think of how to congratulate (complain), the "Nanshan Equipment Large-Scale 5-Axis Linked High-Precision and High-Hardness Machining Machine Tool" project won the award again.

Next, "Key Technologies and Promotional Applications of Flexible AC Transmission (Controllable Series Compensation) in Power Transmission Systems", "Modern Hot Continuous Rolling Technology and Process Development of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys", "Complete Set of Technologies and Applications for Heavy-Duty Transport of Daqin Railway", He did not listen to other projects such as "Establishment of Chinese Wheat Variety Quality Evaluation System and Research on Molecular Improvement Technology".

He only knew that Nanshan Group had won the first prize of five National Science and Technology Progress Awards.

Isn't this too exaggerated?

Is it because companies such as Nanshan Carbon Fiber and Nanshan Semiconductor took out 20% of their shares during this period?

That’s not right either.

The time doesn't match up.

What's the reason?

Although Xiang Changle knew about these projects of Nanshan Group, there was nothing wrong with winning the first prize. It was completely comparable to other projects such as "Construction of Chery Energy-saving and Environmentally Friendly Vehicle Technology Platform" and "Development of Xifeng 1.5-ton High Mobility Off-Road Vehicle". class stuff.

Even after seeing other companies declare this, Xingchen Motors also declared the construction of the Xingtu off-road vehicle's technology platform as a project.

"Ayang, this time your Nanshan Group has become completely famous. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep a low profile even if you want to."

"The number one private industrial enterprise in China is definitely your Nanshan Group."

Xiang Changle still knows the situation of Nanshan Group very well.

In terms of technical foundation, Nanshan Group can also come up with a series of projects that are eligible for awards.

Just to avoid being too exaggerated when applying, I ended up picking and choosing 10 projects.

This is considered an exaggeration.

Among the 10 projects, 5 won the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

What makes Xiang Changle even more incredible is that the other five projects of Nanshan Group also won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

This is absolutely unprecedented!

Even giants like Sinopec and PetroChina have never been able to dominate the rankings on such occasions, right?

Can a company dominate this kind of list?

In the end, Nanshan Group really dominated the list!

To put it bluntly, even the Qinghai-Tibet Railway project that won the special prize has not received as much attention as the Nanshan Group.

There is no way, who makes these projects of Nanshan Group so topical.

Everyone who came to the conference with Cao Yang had the opportunity to go on stage to receive the award.

The name of Nanshan Group strikes everyone's ears again and again.

Naturally, this scene was quickly spread to all parts of the country and even the world.

"Mr. Yin, it's not bad for our project to win the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award."

Zhang Wuchao and Yin Chuan looked at the lively scene at Nanshan Group with a little regret.

Originally, they thought that "Chery Energy-Saving and Environmentally Friendly Automobile Technology Platform Construction" would win the first prize.

After all, before Nanshan Group submitted the information, the projects applying for the first prize this year were not particularly competitive.

Who knew that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway?

"Compared with several projects of Nanshan Group, the construction of our energy-saving and environmentally friendly automobile technology platform does not seem to have that many new ideas."

“The most important thing is that Nanshan Group has actually made some achievements in this regard.”

"It seems that Nanshan Group insists on investing 10% of its annual turnover in technology and product research and development. It is still very valuable. Otherwise, it would not be able to produce so many results."

Yin Chuan was a little envious of Cao Yang.

We have so much R\u0026D funds at our disposal.

Chery Automobile invests not only 10% of its sales in R\u0026D, but even 5% is under great pressure.

It is conceivable how different the level of investment funds is.

Not to mention that Cao Yang would come up with dimensionality reduction attacks from time to time.

No matter how much money you spend, you still won't be able to catch up with other people's technology.

Some people work hard all their lives to want to go to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.

How does this compare?

"Nanshan Group is indeed an exception in China. It is impossible for ordinary enterprises to master so many core technologies."

"But I think some of the core technologies mastered by Nanshan Group may not have been demonstrated yet."

"Nanshan Group may also bring surprises to everyone at the National Science and Technology Progress Award ceremony next year or the year after."

Zhang Wuchao's existence of constantly elevating competitors does not make the gap between Chery Automobile and others strange.

When everyone is far behind Nanshan Group, the gap between Chery Automobile and Nanshan Group seems normal.

There are so many domestic automobile companies, but the only winners today are Nanshan Group and Chery Automobile, as well as Xifeng Motor's "Development of Xifeng 1.5-ton High Mobility Off-Road Vehicle."

In Zhang Wuchao's opinion, as the director of Chery Automobile Research Institute, he has done a very competent job.

However, although he and Yin Chuan were a little regretful, they could still accept it.

Zephyr Motors is a bit unacceptable.

"Mr. Li, didn't the organizer tell us before that the "Development of West Wind 1.5-ton High Mobility Off-Road Vehicle" has a high probability of winning the first prize?"

"Why did you fall into the second prize now?"

"On the contrary, a private enterprise like Nanshan Group won five first prizes. Isn't this too disrespectful of fairness and justice?"

As the director of Dongfeng Technology Center, Yang Qingshan came today with high expectations.

In the past few years, Xifeng Automobile Group has not won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. It is just waiting for the "Development of Xifeng 1.5-ton High Mobility Off-Road Vehicle" hosted by itself to achieve a breakthrough.

When it came time to award the prizes, I found out that I had only won the second prize.

This must be hard to accept.

"I heard that the performance of a newly developed aircraft this year has been greatly improved after using Nanshan carbon fiber products."

"An academician responsible for researching carbon fiber specifically compared the performance of Nanshan Carbon Fiber's products with foreign high-end products obtained through special means. Nanshan Carbon Fiber's is even better."

"There are even rumors that the maximum speed of a certain type of missile has increased a lot after using Nanshan carbon fiber T800 as the shell cover."

"It can be said that Nanshan Group has made a very huge contribution to the country in carbon fiber alone."

“Originally, you couldn’t buy high-end carbon fiber with any money, and mid-range products were also very expensive.”

"Now that we have the Chang'an factory of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, the situation is completely different."

"There are some overseas, and we also have them domestically, and the price is much cheaper than others."

"As for the T600 and T700, which were originally relatively high-end products, the prices have dropped a lot."

"This will have a huge impact on domestic aerospace-related industries."

"The situation of special steel is somewhat similar. Several materials of Nanshan Special Steel are better than the most advanced products of the same type abroad."

"It is said that Nanshan special steel products are used in the propellers of nuclear submarines and in some very special places."

"This Nanshan Group has registered with it."

"The projects I applied for this time are all very competitive."

"It's even an exaggeration to say that everyone has the ability to win the first prize. In the end, only 5 first prizes were awarded, and the remaining 5 were regarded as second prizes. Maybe it was the result of careful consideration."

As the general manager of Xifeng Motor Group, Li Shaobo naturally knows a lot of information.

After all, Xifeng Motors also produces military vehicles and has always been in contact with relevant people on the line.

Some information is confidential to the outside world, but within a certain range, it is not a secret.

"A group won five National Science and Technology Progress Awards at once. Even if these awards are well-deserved, is it a bit exaggerated?"

"Even if the awards are presented in two parts next year, it will seem more normal."

Yang Qingshan knew what Li Shaobo said was reasonable, but he was still a little unwilling.

The most important thing is that Nanshan Group is so aggressive that it affects their declared projects.

What was originally a solid first prize became a second prize.

This gold content dropped a lot immediately.

This year there are only 12 first-class awards for the National Science and Technology Progress Award, but there are more than 200 second-class awards.

This difference is not a big one.

"What if Nanshan Group fails to win awards for a bunch of its award-worthy projects, and someone comes out to cause trouble?"

"Nanshan Group now has very good relations with Chang'an City, Magic City, and Lingnan Province."

"We are also closely related to Spring City Automobile Group and various domestic independent brands."

"If our project can win the first prize, wouldn't it be worth it to have someone else's stardom, starry sky, and other things to look up to?"

“If you really want to say how valuable our project is compared to theirs, it’s hard to tell on that page.”

When he reaches the position of general manager of Xifeng Motor Group, his personal future has little to do with whether the award is the first or second prize.

This is more of an honor.

Of course, if it can dominate the rankings like Nanshan Group, the effect will definitely be different.

However, Li Shaobo knew that the success of Nanshan Group could not be replicated.

I still need to keep a normal mind, otherwise my life will be difficult in the future.

While people from Xifeng Automobile Group and Chery Automobile were discussing the Nanshan Group's award, Toray, which was also paying attention to this award ceremony, immediately received contact from the Huaxia Branch.

Then President Saganu called Taro Kondo over in a very unhappy mood.

"Didn't the information you investigated earlier say that Nanshan's carbon fiber product has the highest energy output and is the T700 product?"

"Why don't we know about this even though their T800 has won the first prize of the China National Science and Technology Progress Award?"

Shopping malls are like battlefields.

The more information you have, the more options you can take.

In turn, you will fall into passivity.

Obviously, Saganu now feels that he has fallen into passivity.

In the past, when Nanshan Carbon Fiber produced T300, T400, and even T600 and T700 carbon fiber, he was not so anxious.

Because they still have the highest-end T800, and the T1100 is also under research, and the results will be available soon.

But now that Nanshan Carbon Fiber's T800 has been mass-produced, I haven't heard any news about it.

According to the Chinese people's style of doing things, this T800 must have been in mass production for at least a period of time and has been used well in some products to be able to win such an award.

This means that Nanshan Carbon Fiber's T800 product is likely to be mass-produced in early 2008, or even in 2007.

So what is the latest research level?

Are you also studying T1100 carbon fiber?

Thinking of this, Saganu's mood became even worse.

"President, we have conducted a detailed internal investigation before and found no one leaking secrets to the outside world."

“The technical origin of Nanshan’s carbon fiber is really a mystery.”

"However, I think they can only produce products like T800 at best. If it is higher, the difficulty will be completely different."

"Speaking of which, our T800 has been successfully researched for more than ten years. It is not impossible for China to make a breakthrough."

Although Kondo Taro was also panicking, he still had to act calmly in front of the president.

Otherwise, Saganu might have to remove him from his position next.

This is not a situation Taro Kondo wants to see.

"Before the emergence of Nanshan carbon fiber, the Chinese people did not even understand how to mass-produce T300 carbon fiber."

"Now we have rapidly broken through the T800 carbon fiber technology, which is already the most advanced carbon fiber in the world."

"Kondo, do you know the meaning behind this matter?"

"The most advanced materials are always used in the military industry."

"Whether it's rockets, satellites, or missile aircraft, they are all areas that require a large amount of carbon fiber."

"Why did our previous high-end carbon fiber have to be banned from sale? This is the reason!"

"Now you say that we have not leaked carbon fiber technology to the outside world, but do Americans believe it?"

"When the time comes, we may not know there will be any trouble!"

When Saganu said this, Kondo Taro couldn't help but shudder.

He really hadn't considered this impact.

But I have to say that Saganu was not trying to scare him.

"Nanshan Carbon Fiber is an industry under the Nanshan Group, and the Nanshan Group itself is a very strange existence."

"They have not only made breakthroughs in carbon fiber, but they have also achieved great results in special steel."

"Even in the field of high-end luxury cars, they successfully gave birth to Xingchen Motors and also acquired Jaguar and Land Rover."

"The technical strength of this company is different from that of ordinary companies. I think everyone should be aware of this."

Kondo Taro immediately started to make excuses for Toray.

It’s not that I don’t work hard enough, it’s that this opponent is too strong.

However, this explanation was not what Saganu wanted to hear.

But there was nothing he could do for the time being.

We can only arrange for someone to further inquire about the situation of Nanshan Carbon Fiber T800 products.

After clarifying the situation, we can take one step at a time.
