In the evening, there were so many cups and chats in the Mingyue Pavilion at the "Beijing Hotel".

Zhao Guoyang, who was sitting next to Qin Yang, was toasted frequently by several leaders of Shagang Group from time to time, and he could only respond helplessly.

Chairman Shen Zhirong was very concerned about this meeting with Mr. Li and Director Qin. Not only did he bring Hu Jun, the deputy director of the group's sales, Chen Guolin, the director of the group's technical department, but he also brought a middle-level cadre in production - the workshop director Xia Chunming.

Speaking of Director Xia, he is really familiar with Zhao Guoyang.

When Zhao Guoyang first went to Shagang Group, he helped Director Xia a lot to solve the problem of cracks on the surface of the cast embryo produced by the second smelting.

It can be said that Zhao Guoyang's familiarity and proficiency in steel smelting left a deep impression on Xia Chunming.

"Researcher Zhao, I'll give you a cup!" After celebrating the two leaders, Xia Chunming raised his cup to Zhao Guoyang again.

"Director Xia, you are so polite!" Zhao Guoyang quickly got up and clinked the glass with the other party, and drank the wine in the glass neatly.

Seeing that Zhao Guoyang was familiar with Shagang Group, both senior leaders and middle-level cadres, Director Qin Yang, who was sitting next to Mr. Li, couldn't help but smile.

"Chairman Shen, it seems that the cooperation between Researcher Zhao and your Shagang Group has been going on for a day or two. Several comrades in your group are very familiar with him!"

"What Director Qin said!"

Shen Zhirong nodded with a smile, "Brother Guoyang, he has a strategic partner with our Shagang Group."

"To be honest, some of the niobium and tantalum ores that our group is in short supply are purchased from overseas through his 'Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company'."

"Although our Shagang Group paid the money, Director Qin can guess how difficult it is to open the procurement channel for this rare metal."

Shen Zhirong looked at Zhao Guoyang gratefully and said seriously: "So I kept saying that our Shagang Group has inherited the great affection of Brother Guoyang..."

When Shen Zhirong said this, Qin Yang couldn't help but look at Zhao Guoyang more.

If he was just convinced by this young man's technical achievements before, then now in the eyes of this leader, Zhao Guoyang has become a rare comprehensive talent.

After pouring his cup full of wine, Qin Yang raised his glass to Shen Zhirong with a smile and said, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Li and I have basically understood the cooperation we told you on the phone, and we are also supportive."

"But, there is a question in my heart, and I really have to mention it..."

Hearing this, Shen Zhirong quickly turned his face and humbly asked for advice: "Director Qin, if you have any questions, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer if you can answer them!"

Although Shen Zhirong’s words meant a bit joking, his attitude was still very clear: that is, no matter how difficult the future is, he will definitely continue to do this project.

Although Qin Yang is not familiar with Shen Zhirong, after hearing the boss's statement, he has a positive impression of him.

Indeed, as the helmsman of a large enterprise, sometimes what we need is the courage of Shen Zhirong to be fearless and move forward.

After Shen Zhirong made a statement, Qin Yang didn't say much, but clinked glasses with him first and drank the wine.

Putting down the wine glass, Qin Yang slowly opened his voice: "As a major marine country, the development prospects of our China's marine economy have always been very broad."

"However, in the fields of ships and marine engineering steel, our domestic production and manufacturing level is still very backward. Not only your Shagang Group, but also the major domestic steel production plants, seem to have no big ideas about the technical breakthroughs in this area. This is a heartbreaking thing..."

After hearing Qin Yang's words, Shen Zhirong's old face turned red.

In fact, Shen Zhirong proposed the country's maritime strategy more than once at a high-level meeting within Shagang Group.

But every time I propose this strategy, I only respond to myself.

Indeed, Shen Zhirong also knew that the technical and production process of steel for ships and marine engineering is too difficult, and it will not take a long time to overcome it.

Currently, the existing orders in the factory have been sufficiently supported for three to five years, or even more, rashly investing too much cost to develop new products is not the most reasonable and rational choice.

The key is that even if this huge sum of money is invested, whether the special steel used in marine engineering can be successfully developed and met international standards is still a big question.

Such a thing, except for the boss who dares to bring it up, no one else dares to think about it.

When Qin Yang criticized some short-sighted behaviors of domestic steel groups, Shen Zhirong said sincerely.

"Director Qin, you are right. In recent years, the total amount of industrial steel in our country has been increasing, and several large steel mills have also made a lot of money."

"In this case, there are indeed few people who are willing to take huge risks to tackle difficult problems in the industry such as ships and marine engineering steel. To be honest, our Shagang Group also had this concern before."

"But if I could express my opinion in front of you, Mr. Li and Director Qin. As long as the country needs it, our Shagang Group will definitely invest necessary funds to develop special steel for ships and marine engineering!"

Speaking of this, Shin Zhirong sighed with emotion: "I have experienced the fact that I am stuck in my neck. I really don't want to look at this ship, the steel field for marine engineering, and be rolled down again..."

Shen Zhirong's statement surprised Qin Yang very much.

He was silent for a moment, filled the wine glass again, stood up solemnly, and said to Shin Zhirong: "Mr. Shen, I am honored to hear your promise."

"With your determination, I believe that the pilot project of Researcher Zhao and your Shagang Group cooperation will surely shine in the future!"

Shin Zhirong nodded excitedly and drank the wine in the glass.

After calming down his emotions, he threw his expectant eyes at Zhao Guoyang beside Qin Yang.

"Brother Guoyang, I only have four words about the pilot project you have won - full support. If you have a gap in funds, you can tell me that our Shagang Group can provide interest-free loans to your company."

"However, you must give us more guidance on the special steel used by ships and offshore engineering."

After Shen Zhirong finished speaking, Chen Guolin next to him quickly stood up and toasted Zhao Guoyang and said, "Mr. Shen is right, to be honest, our Shagang Group has never given up on the technical breakthrough of ships and marine steel, but there has been no progress in so many years."

"If it weren't for knowing that Researcher Zhao was involved, I would have advised Chairman Shen to give up this cooperation. Because our Shagang Group is really not sure about the special steel used for ship manufacturing!"

"But if Researcher Zhao comes to take charge of the overall situation, I will feel completely relieved..."

Chen Guolin's words are the truth. He, the technical minister, knows the situation of his own group best.

Although Shagang Group has made great efforts in product research and development in the past two years, there are few key improvements that it has truly achieved.

With the group's current technical level, it is still too difficult to overcome the steel used in ship manufacturing.

However, after learning that Zhao Guoyang will be the general manager of this project, Chen Guolin had no worries about this.

He knew Zhao Guoyang very well and trusted him very much.

In his opinion, with Zhao Guoyang in charge of the overall situation, there is definitely hope for his own Shagang Group to tackle the special steel used in ships.

Listening to Chen Guolin's admiration for Zhao Guoyang, Li Kejian and Qin Yang couldn't help laughing.

Mr. Li happily glanced at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Guoyang, you heard it. Comrade Xiao Chen is holding your army."

"In front of so many people, you have to give them some confidence, right? How about it, do you have confidence that Shagang Group is involved in the field of steel for ships? Or, what's there to mention?"

When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he scratched his head and thought to himself that Mr. Li is really childish, why did he make this joke with him?

However, since Mr. Li said that, he had to give an answer.

Zhao Guoyang thought about it and could only give some explanations on this aspect.

He looked at Chen Guolin seriously and said, "Minister Chen, I had already paid attention to it when I went to Shagang Group last time."

"You still have a certain technical foundation in the research and development of special steels. As long as you put some effort into the dosage of alloy additives and get involved in this field, there should be no problem..."

Under everyone's joy, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: "In fact, the difficulty of processing steel for ships and marine engineering is no longer smelting technology, but lies in the step of welding forming."

"Many times, the difficulty of welding and the quality of welding determine the final performance of marine steel structures."

"The lack of welding level and quality will lead to cracks easily during the cutting process of the steel plate."

"In addition, in terms of welding ultra-high strength steel, as the strength level increases, the amount of carbon and alloy elements added in the material increases, which easily causes embrittlement of the welding heat-affected zone and the formation of hot and cold cracks."

"In addition, softening of the heat-affected zone of the welded joint is also a common problem in welding fine grain steel."

"These are the key points we need to overcome in the future..."

After Zhao Guoyang said these extremely professional words, everyone's faces were extremely wonderful.

Li Kejian was the calmest one, but after Zhao Guoyang finished his story, he couldn't help but stroke his beard, as if he was happy.

The few people from Shagang Group were surprised and the joy on their faces was not concealed at all.
