Chapter 101 The Sincerity of Quancheng No.1 Machine

The group walked out of the workshop.

Big Cannon was a little angry:

"Manager Lin! What right do they have to look down on people?"

"Where exactly is our precision lacking?"

Zhao Qiang also had a cold expression:

"That's because they're blind."

"They only stare at the foreigners' leftovers, not realizing that the real feast is in their own bowls."

Lin Xi stood in the draft, lit a cigarette, and said:

"We can't entirely blame others."

"They are following the path of importation; their approach is different from ours."

In the livestream room, the bullet chat had already exploded.

[Fengtian No. 1 Machine Tool Plant is so muddled! This is the price of arrogance!]

[Just watch, this is a cash cow for the next twenty years. They've personally pushed away the God of Wealth.]

[This kind of thinking, this superior attitude, will lead to a huge loss sooner or later.]

[I actually think their perspective wasn't wrong for that time; it was just a different choice of path.]

"Manager Lin..."

Director Zhou approached, his face full of embarrassment and anxiety.

He knew the value of this technology all too well.

If the people in Shenyang didn't want it, that was their stupidity!

"If this place won't keep me, there's bound to be another that will!"

Director Zhou suddenly gritted his teeth. "Manager Lin, wait five minutes for me!"

After saying that, Director Zhou darted into the nearby reception room.

Five minutes later.

Director Zhou ran back panting, his face filled with excitement.

"Manager Lin!"

Director Zhou grabbed Lin Xi's arm, his voice trembling.

"It's settled!"

"Who did you contact?" Lin Xi asked.

"Quancheng No. 1 Machine Tool Plant!"

Director Zhou's eyes sparkled.

"They are also one of the 'Eighteen Arhats'."

"I spoke with their factory director on the phone and explained the situation."

"What did they say?"

"Their factory director said..."

Director Zhou took a deep breath and roared, mimicking a Shandong accent,

"As long as the stuff really works, the whole factory will stop work to welcome you!"

"The factory director will personally slaughter a pig!"

"He told us to hurry over; every minute of delay is a crime!"

Lin Xi threw his cigarette butt onto the snow and crushed it with the tip of his shoe.

He looked back at the towering workshop of Fengtian No. 1 Machine Tool Plant, his gaze complex.

Weakness and ignorance are not barriers to survival, but arrogance is.

"Let's go."

Lin Xi pulled open the car door. "To Spring City, for some shazhucai."

The jeep roared to life, kicking up a cloud of snow as it drove away from this industrial temple without looking back.

The old king has aged, still lingering in a dream.

The new king is about to rise, growing wildly.

...

Spring City, No. 4 Xichang Road.

As the jeep turned the corner, Lin Xi was dazzled by the scene before him.

A red cloth banner was stretched across the factory gate, with large characters painted in yellow:

[A Warm Welcome to the Expert Group from Seventh Ministry of Machine Building Industry Red Star Technology for Their Guidance!]

Over a dozen cadres in deep blue work uniforms stood outside.

Their faces were red from the cold, but their eyes were frighteningly bright.

Leading them was a large man with a full beard.

Seeing them get out of the car, he rushed forward with long strides.

"Manager Lin! We've been longing for this day like the stars and the moon; you've finally arrived!"

The man's hands were like iron pincers, gripping Lin Xi's hand until it hurt.

Director Zhou rubbed his hands together and introduced him from the side:

"This is Cui Yushan, the Factory Director of Quancheng No. 1 Machine Tool Plant."

"Hello, Factory Director Cui," Lin Xi responded with a smile.

"Don't call me Factory Director! Call me Old Cui!"

"The youngsters in the factory heard we have a mature CNC retrofit solution, and they've already started stewing the shazhucai."

"Just waiting for you to get in the pot... bah, waiting for you to take your seat!"

Zhao Qiang shrunk back, sniffled, and felt a bit dazed.

In Fengtian, they were treated like beggars.

Here, they were treated like the God of Wealth.

In the livestream room, a wave of bullet chat floated by.

[This is what you call vision! Fengtian No. 1 Machine Tool Plant pushes the God of Wealth away, while Quancheng No. 1 Machine Tool Plant puts him on a pedestal!]

[Shandong men are so sincere. Look at that gaze; it's like he's looking at his own daughter.]

[To the one saying it's like looking at a daughter, there's something wrong with you.]

After some pleasantries, Lin Xi got straight to the point: "Brother Cui, we'll eat later. Let's look at the goods first."

"Splendid!" Cui Yushan slapped his thigh. "Let's go, Workshop No. 3!"

The group swarmed into the workshop in a grand manner.

In Workshop No. 3, hundreds of machine tools were neatly stacked, their models a size smaller than Fengtian's C620.

"C616."

Cui Yushan patted the dark green bed of the machine, his eyes filled with eagerness.

"Manager Lin, this is our factory's star product."

"Compared to a heavy-duty machine like the C620, its frame is a bit thinner."

"But it's superior in its lightness and flexibility."

"Repair shops and street factories all over the country use this thing."

"It has the highest ownership in the country; there are at least 200,000 units!"

"Can this thing... be retrofitted?"

Cui Yushan pointed at the machine tool, his tone carrying a hint of apprehension.

Just as Lin Xi was about to speak, a dull voice suddenly interjected.

"Unlikely."

The speaker was the head of the technical section, Engineer Zhang.

He was tall and thin, wore glasses, and had a rigorous expression.

Engineer Zhang pushed up his glasses and pointed at the bed's guideways:

"Manager Lin, I've looked at the parameters that were sent over."

"The torque of your servo motor is too high; the explosive power at the moment of startup is incredible."

"The C620 has a cast-iron frame; it can withstand it."

"The C616 has a lighter frame; its rigidity is significantly lower."

Engineer Zhang shook his head, heartlessly pouring cold water on the idea:

"This is like putting an aircraft engine on a tractor."

"The moment you step on the gas, the frame will fall apart before the vehicle even moves."

"If we're not careful, instead of improving precision, the machine tool will be ruined by the vibrations."

His words were well-reasoned and supported by facts.

Engineer Zhang glanced at Cui Yushan and sighed:

"Factory Director, I know you're anxious."

"But Fengtian is the big brother; their technical foundation is deeper than ours."

"What they looked down upon might not necessarily be due to arrogance; there might truly be a problem."

"Let's not be fooled, or we'll end up suffering a double loss."

The atmosphere in the workshop instantly chilled.

The smile on Cui Yushan's face froze, and he looked at Lin Xi while rubbing his hands.

Lin Xi didn't speak, but merely gave Engineer Zhang a faint look.

An expert.

This man was right; a direct installation would indeed cause vibrations.

But what he didn't know was that the control theories of later generations...

...had long since turned the physical concept of 'rigidity' into a mathematical problem!
