Chapter 645 Big Killer
Of course, when writing this plan, he naturally would not forget to continue the research and development of civilian technology.
At the end of June, Zhou Tian developed the oxygen bottom-blown converter steelmaking method based on the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking method, which solved the shortcomings of high iron content in the oxygen top-blown converter slag, high oxygen content in the molten steel, large iron dust loss in the waste gas, and difficulty in smelting ultra-low carbon steel, but the hydrogen content in the molten steel was relatively high.
The first oxygen low-blown steelmaking furnace was experimentally built at the TY Machinery Factory. After experiments, it was found that the quality of steel produced was indeed higher than that produced by an oxygen top-blown steelmaking furnace, and the efficiency was higher.
With the success of the oxygen bottom blowing steelmaking furnace experiment, the higher-ups quickly sent people to take away the information on the oxygen bottom blowing steelmaking method and agreed to the contents of Liu Weimin's report.
In early July, Zhou Tian first established the SX Coal Industry Group with the coal industry as the core, and merged the machinery factory to establish the machinery department of the coal group.
First, a series of changes were made in coal mining. By utilizing the connections of the institute, a series of coal mining machines were upgraded and renovated to increase coal production.
We also dispatched safety inspection teams to carry out a series of safety publicity activities at coal mines in the province. Roof protection, safety helmets, and ventilation facilities must all be in place. We also cooperated with the University of Science and Technology to conduct a series of studies on how to mine coal safely.
With the continuous research and development of the institute, hydraulic supports, conveyor belts, and blasting machines have been put into coal mine production, and it is stipulated that the tunnels of each coal mine must meet certain standards.
In August, with coal mining energy as the core, Zhou Tian established a coal washing plant and a power plant. With support from above, he recruited a large number of workers from the entire province.
Once the news came out, a large number of young people from the city signed up, sweeping away many unemployed young people in the city.
With the construction of a large number of factories, the province's economy began to improve slightly.
At the end of August, with the good news of a bumper autumn harvest, the entire province was completely free from the impact of the drought and the economy was recovering rapidly.
In September, at a government meeting, Zhou Tian proposed the development of new energy and put forward a proposal for sustainable energy research and development, which received internal support. At the end of September, Zhou Tian used his previous connections to sell various machines from the machinery factory in Southeast Asian countries.
With simple design and high efficiency, the various machines attracted the favor of many Southeast Asian countries as soon as they were launched on the market. The orders exceeded 30,000 units for the first time and entered the Southeast Asian market.
Earned a certain amount of foreign exchange for the country.
In October, with the introduction of a large number of advanced power generating units from the research institute, the entire province bid farewell to the era of power outages.
In November, the machinery factory upgraded the Red Star No. 1 coal mining machine, further improving its efficiency. In the same month, purchasing departments from Southeast Asian countries came to visit the province, and orders for various machines increased again and again, directly rising from 30,000 units to 100,000 units.
In particular, various agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters, tractors, transporters, and tricycles have been thoroughly rolled out in Southeast Asia, detonating the entire market.
With its advanced performance and convenient operation, it is widely praised in Southeast Asian countries.
The entire coal industry group also fired the first shot in the entire Southeast Asian market.
In the same month, at the end of November, as the various agricultural machinery of the Coal Industry Group sold well in Southeast Asia, the machinery factory launched motorcycles with a lightweight design and various later shapes.
In particular, the design and concept, which were different from the heavy-duty motorcycles of the Sijiucheng Research Institute, caused a buying frenzy in the entire market as soon as it was launched on the market, and the news spread into the country.
Even with Liu Weimin's shrewdness, he couldn't help but laugh in the office for the whole afternoon.
It is already winter in Shanxi Province in December. As the economy of the entire province has completely gotten rid of the impact of the disaster this year, even though the temperature is now minus eight degrees Celsius, at five in the afternoon, there are still many pedestrians talking and laughing, and everyone's appearance has changed greatly compared to last year.
In the car, Secretary Liu looked at everything outside, but he couldn't help but smile. He turned his head to look at Zhou Tian, who was still writing and drawing with his head down.
"Xiaotian, thanks to you, otherwise, I would never have thought that I would see such a day!"
"Secretary Liu, thank you for the compliment. This is not just my achievement!"
Zhou Tian put down the pen in his hand, put away the drawings, and said with a smile.
"Well, I will not forget the contributions of others, and I will not forget your contributions either. But Xiaotian, it seems that although your actions this year are big, they have not yet reached the expectations you once told me!"
"Secretary, this cannot be rushed. I also want to achieve it in one step, but the reality is that not only the funds do not allow it, but even many equipment have not yet been developed. In fact, being able to merge the coal industry, machinery factory and textile factory this year is my best effort!"
Zhou Tian felt a little bitter in his heart as he spoke. He also wanted to achieve his goals as soon as possible, but the reality was that there were difficulties in funding, equipment, talent, and even more difficulties in management.
Even though the entire coal industry group has had good sales this year and has earned a lot of foreign exchange, in fact, compared with the factories under the original Sijiucheng Research Institute, the foreign exchange earned by any one of the factories is higher than that of the industrial group.
Of course, this is not Zhou Tian’s fault, nor is it that he did not work hard. In fact, this is the difference in sales channels. The sales channels of the Sijiucheng Research Institute are all controlled by various major French families.
In addition to the bald eagle, it is spread all over the world, and the profits earned are naturally not small. However, the industrial group, firstly, was established a short time ago, and secondly, the salesmen are all businessmen from the peninsula. Although it has sales channels in Southeast Asia, it is undoubtedly far behind the Western channels in terms of profits and performance.
What's more, the economy of the entire Southeast Asia is still developing, and its total economic volume is simply insignificant compared to that of the West. Even so, he only opened up the market by utilizing some machinery from agricultural machinery factories.
It can be said that this has crossed the line. In fact, in his opinion, the entire industrial group should use generators to open up the world market. Unfortunately, several foreign dealers are obviously not interested in generators.
This made him feel a little bit overwhelmed, and he had no choice but to find another way. Of course, this approach was also a last resort. Next, he had to prepare a killer weapon for the industrial group. Otherwise, with the current size of the industrial group, it would be simply out of reach to truly achieve his expected goals!
