Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Hearing the word "wind tunnel", Zhao Jinshan's expression also changed.

"Wind tunnel? Is it the kind of thing used for experiments when building aircraft and missiles?" Zhao Jinshan asked.

"Yes, that's the kind of thing." Li Weidong nodded.

"I don't build airplanes or missiles, so why do I need this thing?" Zhao Jinshan said with a frown.

"Aircrafts and missiles are for military use. In addition, wind tunnels also play a great role in civilian use."

Li Weidong continued: "Just like in the construction industry, if you want to build a building, how do you know how much wind the building can withstand? At this time, you can use a building model to conduct wind tunnel tests."

"But I don't run a construction company, so I don't need to build high-rise buildings!" Zhao Jinshan continued.

"In addition, the research and development of wind turbines also requires the use of wind tunnel simulation tests." Li Weidong added.

"I don't develop wind turbines either." Zhao Jinshan curled his lips.

"You don't do research and development, but the State Power Company wants to research and develop wind power." Li Weidong continued.

Zhao Jinshan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly blurted out and asked: "Are you talking about Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine?"

Li Weidong showed an expression of "You finally figured it out" and then said: "There are not many wind tunnel laboratories in the country, and if there are, they are mainly concentrated in the scientific research departments of the national defense industry.

This thing has something to do with the military. If you want to import such a high-power axial flow compressor from abroad, you will definitely be subject to control. Foreigners will not sell to us. If we develop our own products, the investment cost will be too high.

Although this axial flow compressor is a bit old and second-hand, if it were sold on the market, it would not fetch much. The most important thing is that this thing cannot be bought with money.

I guess even the National Power Company doesn't have its own wind tunnel laboratory. But if they want to study wind power equipment, they must use wind tunnels.

If we can transport this axial flow compressor back, we can use it as a bargaining chip to discuss the Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine. Maybe the National Power Company will sell the Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine in order to build a wind tunnel. To us. "

Zhao Jinshan nodded: "It makes sense. It's worth taking a gamble for Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine!"

Li Weidong continued: "If the State Power Company does not want this axial flow compressor, you can sell it to me and I can donate it to the university for scientific research."

"Donate it? Then you lost money?" Zhao Jinshan said.

Li Weidong smiled slightly: "The donation must not be in vain. My Fukang Engineering and Fukang Agricultural Machinery have a relatively weak foundation in technology research and development. If we can get technical support from top domestic universities, it will be a big help to us." ”

This high-power axial flow compressor and the large fan must be obtained.

Although the large fan is already rusty, it is specially designed for wind tunnels. The size of the fan and the angle of the blades have been carefully calculated. It is better to use it directly than to recalculate it yourself.

There are not many warehouses left behind, but Vlasievich is still enthusiastic, and the effect of $1,000 is still there.

Vlasievich opened a new warehouse door. Li Weidong walked in and looked at what was in front of him. He was instantly shocked!

"Why is there still such a thing? It must have never been used, otherwise his life would have depended on it!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

There were two things in front of Li Weidong. On the left was a large cylindrical metal object with an empty interior, and on the right was a disk-shaped object with independent metal round rods inserted into it.

Obviously, this large cylinder and disk are a set, and the disk needs to be inserted into the large cylinder to use it.

"What is this?" Zhao Jinshan asked.

"This is the core." Li Weidong replied.

"Reactor core? What is a reactor core? What is it used for?" Zhao Jinshan asked next.

"It's the core of the reactor. This is what the reactor in the nuclear power plant uses." Li Weidong pointed to the metal round rods, and then said, "Did you see that? It's where the nuclear fuel rods are placed."

Hearing the word "reactor", Zhao Jinshan trembled with fright and retreated towards the door.

Li Weidong continued: "Don't worry, this should be unused. There is no radiation on it and no nuclear fuel rods inside. If this was a used core, we would have started to vomit blood by now."

Hearing that it was unused, Zhao Jinshan came back, then looked at this set of core equipment with lingering fear, and then said: "I'm shocked, why is this thing here?"

"How do I know this! You have to ask the Russians?" Li Weidong shook his head.

"Can I get this thing back?" Zhao Jinshan asked next.

"I don't know." Li Weidong shook his head again: "The key is whether the Russians are willing to give it?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, the Russians are even willing to give weapons." Zhao Jinshan then asked: "Is it useful to transport this thing back?"

"I don't know if it will be useful to you. But it will definitely be useful to the Institute of Nuclear Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and maybe it will be of great use!"

Li Weidong continued, “The core of each nuclear reactor is unique and has research value.

Russia's nuclear power technology is much more advanced than our country. If this reactor core is transported back, it will be a great achievement. The scientists who study nuclear power at the Nuclear Research Institute will probably be overjoyed! "

"What a great achievement?" Zhao Jinshan suddenly became energetic, and then he whispered: "Then let's transport this thing back!"

Li Weidong knew that Zhao Jinshan wanted to transport this set of reactor cores back, probably to please the old man in the family.

Russia's nuclear power technology is indeed much better than China's. Even if China's nuclear power strives to catch up and narrow the gap, it still lags behind Russia in terms of overseas exports of nuclear power.

In the Soviet era, research on nuclear physics was ahead of the United States, not just nuclear weapons, but also nuclear applications.

In terms of nuclear power, the "Deep Sea Giant" nuclear submarine built by the Soviet Union has a displacement similar to that of a medium-sized aircraft carrier, and is more difficult to manufacture than an aircraft carrier. Its performance far exceeds that of the most powerful Ohio-class nuclear submarine in the United States.

In terms of nuclear energy applications, the first nuclear power plant in human history was built by the former Soviet Union. Although there was a Chernobyl accident later, it cannot be denied that the Soviet Union's nuclear power technology was top-notch in the world.

Even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia relied on the Soviet Union's capital, and its nuclear power technology was still the world's leading level and exported to many countries around the world. Nuclear power plants in third world countries are basically purchased from Russia.

China's first nuclear power plant was the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, which was put into operation in 1994. French technology was introduced at that time.

In the late 1990s, China's nuclear power technology was still in its infancy.

The core is the core component of a nuclear reactor and will certainly not be easily shown to others. An unused reactor core is definitely a rare research object for domestic nuclear power researchers.

Li Weidong didn't need to worry about transporting equipment back to China, Zhao Jinshan could naturally find a way.

After Li Weidong returned to China, the two big projects, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine, were finally going to start bidding.

In the conference room of Jinshan Coal Industry, General Manager Zhou Xiangyang seemed a little excited.

“Although coal prices have fallen sharply in recent times, the two mines, Taifeng and Taisheng, are rare high-quality assets. Such large mines have not been seen in the market for many years.

Such a large mine would not be sold easily. If the State Power Company had not optimized the industrial structure, it would not have been possible to buy it for even three billion, let alone two billion.

If we can win these two large mines, our Jinshan Coal Mining's benefits will be guaranteed in the next ten years, no, in the next twenty years, so we are bound to win these two large mines! "

"Mr. Zhou, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine are very valuable, but as far as I know, other companies are also very interested in these two mines. If we want to win these two mines, we still need to defeat many competitors. "Someone next to me said.

Zhou Xiangyang said: "Next Tuesday, the State Electric Power Company will hold a bidding briefing for Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine. All companies participating in the bidding will participate. Then we will know who the competitors are!"

On Tuesday, Zhou Xiangyang arrived at the bidding briefing half an hour early.

However, there were nearly thirty people sitting in the conference room, and Zhou Xiangyang was obviously not the most active one.

Looking around, Zhou Xiangyang immediately found many familiar faces.

"China Coal Mining Company, Longcheng Mining Group, Pingmei Energy Group, and Zhongjin Coal Chemical Company have all sent people here!"

Zhou Xiangyang was not surprised to see these acquaintances. Taifeng and Taisheng were big coal companies that wanted to take a bite.

Instead, Zhou Xiangyang began to check and found that some coal companies he was familiar with were not here.

If you don't want to take part in such a big piece of fat, then there will definitely be problems with the operation of this company.

At this time, someone else walked into the conference room.

"People from Jizhong Mining Group are here too!" Zhou Xiangyang frowned immediately.

Jizhong Mining Group is much larger and more powerful than Zhou Xiangyang's Jinshan Coal. Such a powerful competitor was something Zhou Xiangyang was unwilling to face.

Sure enough, as soon as the people from Jizhong Mining appeared, the expressions of the people sent by several other coal mining companies all became serious. Everyone also realized that a powerful competitor had arrived.

Immediately afterwards, someone else walked in, someone from the Coal Import and Export Corporation.

"Is the Coal Import and Export Corporation also interested in Taifeng and Taisheng mines? They used to just dump coal and work as coal porters, but now they also want to engage in coal mining business! They are another difficult opponent!" Zhou Xiangyang thought to himself.

The Coal Import and Export Company is a key enterprise of the State-owned Assets Management Committee. Because of this background and the fact that it is an enterprise engaged in foreign trade, the Coal Import and Export Company can use a lot of resources. In this regard, Zhou Xiangyang's Jinshan Coal Industry is far away. Far inferior.

An uneasy feeling arose in Zhou Xiangyang's heart, and the original optimistic mood gradually disappeared from Zhou Xiangyang's mind.

Jinshan Coal Industry, where Zhou Xiangyang works, is considered a top coal company in his own province. Looking at the whole country, it is also considered a first-class existence. This is Zhou Xiangyang's confidence.

But compared with Jizhong Mining or Coal Import and Export Corporation, Zhou Xiangyang's confidence is not that strong. Zhou Xiangyang feels that it is much more difficult to win the Taifeng and Taisheng mines than he imagined.

Another group of people walked in in a mighty manner. At first glance, they looked like a big company.

Zhou Xiangyang turned to look and immediately recognized the other party's identity.

"Mr. Huang from Yankuang!" Zhou Xiangyang gasped, the real coal giant is here too!

In the coal industry, Yankuang Group is a well-deserved giant. Among the national Bada coal bases back then, Yankuang may not have had the highest output, but it was definitely the most powerful. Even in the future coal industry, only the "state-owned" State Energy Investment Corporation can firmly hold down Yankuang.

The appearance of Yankuang felt like the appearance of the Shaolin Temple at a martial arts conference. It is said that you don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, and many people came up to say hello.

Zhou Xiangyang also immediately stood up and walked towards Mr. Huang from Yankuang.

However, someone took the lead and came to Mr. Huang just in front of Zhou Xiangyang.

"Mr. Huang, long time no see!" the man said.

"Chairman Li, why are you here?" Mr. Huang showed a surprised expression, and then asked, "Are you also planning to do the coal business?"

"I opened a company in partnership with others and want to buy a few coal mines for fun." Li Weidong paused and then said: "Mr. Huang, your Yankuang mine is the leader in the coal industry. We have known each other for so many years, how about you?" Please take more care of me!"

"If you say you're taking care of me, you're not talking about it. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate!" Mr. Huang smiled and then asked, "Chairman Li, what is the name of your company?"

"It's called Dongshan Mining." Li Weidong replied.

"Dongshan Mining." Mr. Huang repeated the name and remembered it.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words and then said goodbye to each other.

The conversation between Mr. Huang and Li Weidong fell into Zhou Xiangyang's ears. Zhou Xiangyang looked at Chairman Li and found that he was a stranger, but very young, only about thirty years old.

"Who is this person? He became the chairman of the board at such a young age, and he is also friends with Mr. Huang from Yankuang. He looks unusual!" Zhou Xiangyang couldn't help but feel wary.

Then Zhou Xiangyang also walked forward and greeted Mr. Huang.

This Mr. Huang’s name is Huang Aihua, and he has known Li Weidong for more than ten years.

When Li Weidong was still in the transportation company, he started a "transportation and sales agency", and his first business was to sell coal from Yankuang.

At that time, Li Weidong happened to encounter a problem with Sakurada Co., Ltd.'s hydraulic system, and Sakurada Co., Ltd.'s maintenance personnel were very angry. Li Weidong helped Yankuang solve the problem, and from then on he could pull coal from Yankuang unimpeded.

At that time, it was Huang Aihua who received Li Weidong. At that time, Huang Aihua was only a middle-level cadre of Yankuang. After so many years, Huang Aihua has entered the leadership of Yankuang, and everyone calls him "Mr. Huang" when they see him.

After Zhou Xiangyang exchanged pleasantries with Huang Aihua, he asked, "Mr. Huang, which company does Chairman Li belong to just now? I haven't seen him before, and he looks a bit unfamiliar."

"He is not from the coal industry." Huang Aihua continued; "He is Li Weidong, chairman of the Puppy Group. You must have heard of Puppy Electric, right?"

Zhou Xiangyang nodded: "I've heard of Puppy Electric, but I didn't expect their chairman to be so young! But doesn't Puppy Electric make home appliances? Why are you here?"

"Probably he wants to invest in the coal industry! It is said that he and his friends established a new company called Dongshan Mining." Huang Aihua said casually, obviously not taking Dongshan Mining to heart.

How can a dignified coal industry giant like Dongshan Mining, a leather company? If it weren't for Li Weidong's status as the chairman of the Puppy Group, perhaps Huang Aihua wouldn't even bother to chat with Li Weidong.

Zhou Xiangyang also curled his lips and said with disdain: "A few years ago, there were dozens of these temporary small companies popping up in our place. They all thought that just setting up a company and buying a mine would be enough. They can make a lot of money. But the price of coal has dropped in the past two years, and they all went bankrupt!”

In Zhou Xiangyang's mind, Li Weidong has been labeled as a coal boss, and he is also the kind of coal boss who went bankrupt very quickly.

A coal boss also wants to compete for big mines like Taifeng and Taisheng?

It’s really overestimating one’s abilities!
