  Chapter 787 The Difficulty of Tailless Design

  After receiving Bamford, Clement and his party from "SMS Company", Zhao Guoyang quickly took everyone to the company's large conference room and held a brief welcoming ceremony.

  After the welcome ceremony, it was almost five o'clock, Gao Tongzhou and Zhao Guoyang discussed in a low voice, and then left first.

  After all, Mayor Huang will come over tomorrow morning to meet with the "JCB Company" and his party. Naturally, he can't rush to get in touch with Bamford before Mayor Huang.

   After politely sending away Mayor Huang, Director Liang and other leaders of SJ City, Zhao Guoyang looked at Bamford who was opposite.

  He asked politely: "Mr. Bamford, are you and your colleagues in your company tired too? How about we go to dinner first, and after that you go to the hotel to rest and recuperate the jet lag?"

  After hearing this, Bamford waved his hands in a rather imposing manner: "Hey, Mr. Zhao, there is no need for jet lag. We are taking a special plane, and we all rested well during the flight!"

   Speaking of this, Bamford did not forget to glance at Clement beside him and said: "I have been hearing Minister Clement praise you, Mr. Zhao, saying that your 'SMS company' is a company with great potential."

   "Since we've arrived, I feel urgent and want to know about your company as soon as possible. I wonder if Mr. Zhao can give us a detailed introduction?"

  Since the distinguished guest has already spoken, Zhao Guoyang can only agree.

  He winked at Li Zhaohe who was sitting on the left, and naturally asked him to start talking about the development process of "SMS Company".

  Although he was a little nervous in front of a big man like Bamford, because Li Zhaohe had prepared beforehand, the process of explaining was relatively smooth.

  The deputy general manager narrated the development of the predecessor of "SMS Company" - SJ City Mining Machinery Equipment Factory, and the whole process of restructuring, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the task.

After listening to Li Zhaohe's narration, Bamford nodded seriously and said, "Well, according to what Manager Li said, your company actually started producing mining machinery and equipment as early as 20 or 30 years ago? "

   "That's right, our "SMS company" was involved in this aspect relatively early, but it was limited to a limited production scale, and we have not been able to make a big name."

   Zhao Guoyang said with some regret: "But in terms of experience and ability in research and development, our company's technical personnel and technical workers are absolutely top-notch!"

  Bamford nodded in agreement when he heard the words, "Well, I agree with Mr. Zhao's statement."

   "Thinking of machinery manufacturing companies like our 'JCB Company' and your company, the importance of technicians is naturally second to none; but the existence of skilled workers is also very important!"

  “If there are no good technical workers for debugging, the design and improvement of many technical personnel can only be superficial and cannot really become the driving force of the product!”

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang responded again and again: "That's right, on this point, I agree with Mr. Bamford. In our 'SMS company', technical workers are the same as technical personnel, and they also have levels. .”

   "For the most basic technicians, the salary is no worse than that of those who sit in the office. And technicians, senior technicians, these experienced skilled workers, the treatment they enjoy is even higher than that of some technicians."

   "Not bad! This approach of your company is very gratifying!" Bamford said with emotion.

  Listening to Mr. Zhao and this foreign bad old man discussing about mechanics, Zhao Siyan, who was sitting on his right, showed a smile on his face.

  Speaking of which, when Zhao Siyan and Zhao Guoyang met for the first time, they mistakenly thought that he who was assigned to the workshop was also a skilled worker.

  Because this guy talked about the technical operation of the workshop, he was completely logical.

  Who knows, Zhao Siyan didn't realize that she was making a big mistake until she actually got in touch with Mr. Zhao.

  In fact, Mr. Zhao is not only good at technical operations, but also amazing in his level and attainments in technology research and development.

   And myself, after getting to know him, I also changed from a graduate student to the deputy general manager and head of the product R&D department of a large enterprise.

   Such a change, in the final analysis, was brought about by Mr. Zhao.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Siyan looked at Zhao Guoyang with a touch of tenderness in her eyes.

  Of course Zhao Guoyang would not have noticed Zhao Siyan looking at him. He is introducing two products of the company to Bamford and Clement right now.

"Mr. Bamford, you may have heard from Mr. Clement before. The SMS-GKT-MD series of mine hoists from 'SMS Company' has already won a good reputation in the world and won the achieved some gratifying sales results.”

   "The next step, our company plans to continue to do further in-depth research on mine hoists. We will strive to expand this series to ten specifications within one or two years!"

  Hearing this, Bamford gave a "huh" and said, "Mr. Zhao is right, I have already known about your company's mine hoist product."

"Although it is still not top-notch in some aspects, it is definitely no problem to reach the international average level. Coupled with the patent of the 'electronic control system', it is also expected that your products can achieve the current results thing!"

  Listening to the bosses of "JCB Company" all admiring their company's products so much, the faces of the participants at the "SMS Company" side in the conference room were a little radiant.

"Oh, right!"

Bamford seemed to have remembered something, so he turned his head to look at Clement and said, "Clement, last time you said that Mr. Zhao's company's 'small excavator' has been put into production. That's true. son?"

   Clement heard this and quickly explained: "Chairman, when I met Mr. Zhao in Africa, I talked about it with him, but I really don't know the latest situation."

Listening to the conversation between Bamford and Clement, Zhao Guoyang quickly explained: "Mr. Bamford, Mr. Clement, the SMS120H-1BE series of small excavators from 'SMS Company' has just entered It's the birth test stage."

   "It will be within a month or two if it is officially put into production!"

   "Well, now that we have entered the stage of the raw test, can we go and have a look now? After all, we are sitting here and talking, and we can't talk about any results!" Bamford suddenly said.

  Zhao Guoyang was already ready for the people from "JCB Company" to visit, so he naturally agreed.

  A group of people came to the workshop in a mighty way, and a small excavator that had been prepared was quietly placed there.

  Zhao Guoyang, who was at the forefront, walked forward in three steps and two steps, pointed at this small excavator, and introduced it to Bamford and others.

   "Mr. Bamford, what you see now is the SMS120H-1BE small excavator that our "SMS Company" spent a year developing..."

   "Well, it looks pretty good!"

   Li Zhaohe and Zhao Siyan behind him couldn't help feeling ashamed when they heard Mr. Zhao's words.

  As the specific executors of this "small excavator" project, the two of them certainly knew how much time it took to design this product.

  Speaking of which, this project was clearly established when Mr. Zhao was in the capital, and he heard Mao Feiming, the boss of Beijing Sanjian, mention it by chance.

  From the time the project was approved to when he came up with the preliminary design proposal, it took less than a week in total.

  Even with the follow-up improvement and extended design of the new product development department, it will only take more than three months until the production test sample comes out.

  Mr. Zhao said it was a year, which is obviously fooling foreigners.

  Of course, Li Zhaohe and Zhao Siyan also know that Mr. Zhao is exaggerating about this matter, but if another domestic company is used to make this product, it may not be possible to make it in a year.

   "Hey, I can't help it. With a powerful boss, sometimes he is so emboldened!" Zhao Siyan glanced at Zhao Guoyang, who was eloquently explaining the performance of the small excavator, and couldn't help but secretly slander.

   "Mr. Bamford, Mr. Clement, please take a look. This small excavator, we have used the boom deflection and tailless swing function."

   "According to my speculation, these two functions will be popular for small excavator models on the market in the future."

   "Oh? Mr. Zhao, can you tell me your reason?" Bamford said with great interest.

Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm" and explained, pointing to the boom of the machine in front of him: "Mr. Bamford, you can see that the design of boom deflection and tailless rotation has greatly improved the flexibility of the machine itself. Even in the root area, it can also start digging work directly without frequent movement of the fuselage.”

  Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment, and then explained: "In addition, the structural design without a tail makes this type of excavator do not need to worry about tail collisions when turning around in narrow terrain."

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang's narration, Bamford couldn't help but glance at Clement.

  Obviously, Zhao Guoyang's opinion is consistent with their "JCB Company".

  Clement thought for a moment, then asked a question.

He asked with a half-smile: "Mr. Zhao, you are from a technical background. You should know that the tailless design has many design difficulties in the design of excavators. I don't know how you and 'SMS Company' overcome these problems." What's more difficult?"

   Zhao Guoyang explained with a smile after hearing the words: "Mr. Clement is right, the tailless design does have many difficulties. One of the biggest difficulties lies in the stability of the overall layout and power balance,"

   "But this problem, we have been properly resolved!"

  Zhao Guoyang pointed to the hydraulic machine of the machine and said: "This new hydraulic technology is the change we are trying to make on this small excavator!"

   "This technology has high-efficiency operating performance and operational performance, but also has good economy and environmental adaptability, which can improve work efficiency even more."

  "Generally speaking, new hydraulic machines are not affected by the load. Its control technology application can increase power output, increase operating speed, and reduce fuel consumption."

  Zhao Guoyang finally said: "This technology, our "SMS company" has applied for a patent, and the next step is to use it as the biggest selling point of our machine and promote it..."
