Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 208 Technical research

At the Special-shaped Glass Factory in Gaoshan Town, Fuqing, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, director Cao Dewang led the technical backbone of the factory to begin theoretical research on bulletproof glass.

After half a month of hard work, the technical team finally mastered the theoretical knowledge of bulletproof glass.

"Bulletproof glass is a laminated glass made by bonding multiple pieces of tempered glass and plastic film. The more pieces of glass that are bonded, the stronger the bulletproof capability."

"In order not to affect the line of sight, bulletproof glass should also use colorless, highly transparent flat glass (or organic glass) and plastic film, and require minimal optical distortion. Because bulletproof glass has high resistance to mechanical impact, it is

Used in military equipment, advanced transportation equipment and other fields."

"At present, its commercial value is very high, but other technical manufacturing processes are difficult, and the requirements for production equipment are very demanding. At present, our country should not have production equipment in this area, director, even if our technical theoretical research reaches or even

There is no problem with the production process, but the production equipment is difficult to obtain. Currently, these high-precision production equipment are very strictly blocked abroad." said Chen Zewen, technical director of the special-shaped glass factory in Gaoshan Town, Qing Dynasty.

"This is not something you need to consider. You are only responsible for solving technical problems. There are still funds for production equipment. I will come up with a way to tell you some good news. When I left this trip to Beijing, Mr. Wang from Tang Dynasty Power Company said

The boss specifically told me that he could help me if I didn’t have enough funds.

, so you don’t have to worry about funds. As for equipment, since we can introduce advanced production equipment from the Finns, we will definitely be able to do it this time.” No matter when and where, as long as you have money, nothing is a gain or a loss.

If the bright one doesn't work, then come to the dark one.

"What Westerners value most is money. In their eyes, there is nothing that cannot be betrayed, except money."

"In the words of our ancestors, money can make the world go round."

"It just depends on whether the price you offer is enough."

"In the eyes of people like them, national sentiments are nothing but money in their pockets."

Cao Dewang said.

"How much money do we have in the factory's account now?" Cao Dewang looked at the financial director who was having a meeting with him.

"More than eight million." Finance replied.

The predecessor of Fuyao Glass was the Gaoshan Special-shaped Glass Factory, a rural enterprise founded in 1976 in Gaoshan Town, Fuqing, Fujian.

In April 1983, Cao Dewang contracted the Fuqing Gaoshan Special-shaped Glass Factory.

In 1985, water meter glass was switched to automobile glass.

At the beginning, the glass factory specialized in the production of water meter glass. Soon, Cao Dewang keenly discovered that with the deepening of reform and opening up, a large number of imported cars poured into China, and the many low-grade roads in the country made the damage rate of automobile glass remain high. Now domestic

In the automotive glass market, automotive glass basically relies on imports. A piece of automotive glass imported from Japan costs thousands of yuan, and the cost is only one or two hundred yuan! The stubborn Cao Dewang is not convinced.

In 1985, Cao Dewang switched from water meter glass to automobile glass. In order to break through technical barriers, Cao Dewang tightened his belt and introduced the most advanced production equipment from Finland. He recruited technical talents from all over the country to tackle the problem, and after numerous failures, he finally developed the automobile.

Special glass costs less than 200 yuan and sells for 2,000 yuan. This is already an incredible profit, but it is still much cheaper than Japanese products on the market.

I earned more than 8 million in just over a year.

"Actually, doing business is not that complicated. Experience tells us that if you do something first, you will be successful. The same goes for doing business. The market demand is huge. If you have something that others don't have, you can make money. It's that simple."

"In the same way, the reason why our factory can earn 800 yuan in one year is because we are the only domestic company that can produce good automotive glass. If you try to switch to steel plates, it will be strange if you don't go bankrupt.

"

Cao Dewang looked at everyone and continued: "It's the same this time. There is currently no domestic company that can produce bulletproof glass. If we can win it, then it will be more profitable than ordinary car glass in the future, especially for foreign rich people. God

They all have guns in their hands for fear of death, and countless people die every year due to shootings. Therefore, if our bulletproof glass can be developed, overseas will be our biggest customer." Cao Dewang said.

"Director, if this is the case, then we need a lot of foreign exchange. This is a problem." The financial director said.

"Well, I'll ask this question to my little brother when the time comes. He's more familiar with it. You don't know, just by the word "old man", he has three officers. Two of them are in the base office. I heard that there is another one in Qianfeng.

In the office of the machine factory, ask him about foreign exchange when the time comes." Cao Dewang remembered the two words in Wang Shi's office and said with envy.

After half a year of hard work and countless studies, Fuqing Gaoshan Special-shaped Glass Factory finally tackled the technical barriers and production processes of bulletproof glass.

"The structure of bulletproof glass"

"Generally, we divide bulletproof glass into three structures: load-bearing layer, transition layer and safety protection layer. If the bullet-proof glass is hit by a warhead, the load-bearing layer will first bear the impact and break. The primary purpose of this layer is to disintegrate the warhead and make it

Broken or deformed so that it no longer has the ability to penetrate inwards. This layer is selected

All are made of high-strength special glass. The next transition layer material will further collapse and absorb the penetrating force of the warhead, and ensure that there will be no energy concentration after the strike. The third layer of safety protection layer needs to be elastic and

Toughness, the warhead cannot penetrate, usually special glass or organic glass is used.”

"Bulletproof glass production flow chart"

"Bulletproof glass is a type of laminated glass. The glass plate used is generally float glass, and tempered glass cannot be used. The preparation process of the original float glass is as shown in the figure: batching → melting → clarification → tin bath → annealing → defect detection → longitudinal

Cut cross-cut → original glass plate”

In the conference room, the technical director wrote on the blackboard the technical issues and production process of bulletproof glass.

"That's it now. Basically, there aren't any big problems. Now we just have to wait until the equipment arrives and test the finished product," the technical director told Cao Dewang.

"Well, everyone has worked hard in the past six months. It seems that I still need to make a trip to Beijing to see if I can get the foreign exchange." This is a large amount of money. Recently, I have been in contact with Finland, and the other party has agreed.

It is said that it can be obtained, but the money is quite high, a set of production equipment costs US$2.98 million.

Next, Cao Dewang made arrangements for the sales in the factory and went to Beijing to meet with Wang Shi.
