In the industrial sector,Machine toolsIt is equivalent to the existence of the crown jewel. If there were no CNC machine tools, the workers would have to use files to make products.

However,China has been lagging behind other countries in terms of CNC machine tools. It is not until recent years that the rise of a machine tool company in Shenyang has made domestic machine tools proud. It's a pity that the final outcome of the company is embarrassing. What was the situation like?

Before answering this question, let's introduce a person, and he isGuan Xiyou

After graduating from Tongji University, Guan Xiyou immediately entered the Zhongjie factory to work. Due to his hard work and serious attitude, he was soon sent to Japan for exchange and study.

When he first arrived, Guan Xiyou was stunned by the gap between China and Japan. The hotel they were staying in at the time, and the one-day room rate was converted to yes640 RMB, which is equivalent to a year's salary for them. There is also breakfast, and after one meal, their month's salary will be wasted.

In this case, Guan Xiyou and others could only give up breakfast, and returned the extra room, and everyone was crammed into one room for the night.

Of course, regarding the gap in food, clothing, housing and transportation, Guan Xiyou did not pay much attention to it. What he is most concerned about is between the two countriesIndustrial production technology。You know, the Japanese were already using it at that timeGantry 5-axis machining machine tool technology, and our workers are still using itFile

In this comparison, we are not industrialized at all. The slogans shouted for so many years are all false.

After returning to China, Guan Xiyou fell into deep contemplation. Where should Chinese industry go from here? How should China's machine tool technology rise? With such doubts, Guan Xiyou worked in the factory for a few more years.

By 1997, Guan Xiyou at this time had been promotedDirector of Zhongjie Factory。However, when he took office, he soon faced a series of crises. He checked the factory's funds and found that all the funds in the 22 accounts were combinedLess than 5,000 yuan

In addition to the lack of funds, Zhongjie Factory is also facingThe brain drain is severeproblems. Due to the long-term inability to pay wages, so thatEmployees have dropped by 160 thousand。The college students inside have left 90% one after another, and no one has come to the back, and the factory has fallen into a talent fault.

In order to survive, Guan Xiyou at that time could be said to be racking his brains and doing almost any business. For example:Selling pure water, selling cordyceps, engaging in real estate, filming TV series, etc, in short, what to do with the money. In the end, after Guan Xiyou's crazy market, the factory's balance finally stabilized.

Since you don't have to worry about the factory closing, then you are ready to start fighting a tough battle. In 2001, Guan Xiyou relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue and won one63 million contracts.

At that time, Shanghai was going to be builtMaglev trains, its core componentsConcrete track beams, you need CNC machine tools to do it. For such a need, a German company at the time said that it could complete the task in two and a half years.

However, Party A can't wait that long. Suppose a track beam has to be doneTwo and a half years, so the other parts add up to not take more than ten years? After Guan Xiyou saw Party A's concerns, he directly said that he could do itCompleted within one year

And the final result is indeed as Guan Xiyou said. In just 8 months, the Zhongjie factory produced all the track beams. The factory not only completed the task ahead of schedule, but also produced the quality of the products. Party A randomly checked and accepted 10 track beams and found that the error was 0。After this battle, Guan Xiyou became famous.

Soon, with the reorganization of the state of major heavy industry enterprises. Zhongjie Factory, Shenyang No. 1 Factory, Shenyang No. 3 FactoryandLiaoning Precision Instrument FactoryThey were merged one after another and were named as a wholeShenyang Machine Tool Factory。Guan Xiyou, as a fierce general of the former Zhongjie Factory, directly took over the Shenyang Machine Tool Factory in 2002 and became the leader in it.

After becoming the captain, Guan Xiyou began to lay out in various fields. First of all, in terms of sales, this is the most important. After all, the company can only survive if it sells something. So Guan Xiyou put it80% of the staff, all arrivedSales post。Let them show the vigor of selling Cordyceps sinensis back then, and make every effort to promote the company's new products.

In terms of production, Guan Xiyou directly changed the daily wage system toPiece concept, instantly elevated the workersProduction enthusiasm。In terms of low-end technology, Guan Xiyou did not say a word, and directly imitated European and American countries. Follow the steps of your predecessors, so as to avoid fewer detours.

Only the core technology of CNC system, Guan Xiyou really has no choice but to import products from European and American countries. After all, our brain drain in the early stage was too serious, and we couldn't overcome the technical difficulties in a short period of time.

Faced with such a situation, Guan Xiyou meditated hard and directly found his old classmate Zhu Zhihao. Guan Xiyou asked him to form a team in ShanghaiStart from the source ** and gnaw down the technology of the CNC system little by little.

Of course, since it is starting from scratch, it is naturally a gold-swallowing beast in terms of research and development. According to Guan Xiyou, the team in Shanghai at that time had to ask him for tens of millions every time. Once, when he was on a business trip to Germany, he wanted to jump from the building because the capital chain was almost broken. In desperation, Guan Xiyou could only turn it onBorrowing spreeThe journey.

In the end, after investing more than 300000000000000000000000000000The first CNC machine tool i5 in ChinaThe development was successful. Now that you have the product, it's time to promote it. Soon, Guan Xiyou borrowed another foreign debt to build one for the i5 CNC machine5D Industrial Park, specifically designed to showcase the i5's performance.

Relying on this set of combination punches, i5 CNC machine tools have finally won the unanimous recognition of customers at home and abroad. In 2011, Shenyang Machine Tool Factory sold a total of them11.50,000 devices, sales up toMore than 18 billion, stable residenceNo. 1 in the world。Even Japanese and German companies, which were once high-minded, have to look at it with admiration.

However, as the old saying goes, behind the scenery is a cramped landscape. Although the i5 equipment of the Shenyang Machine Tool Factory sold particularly well, this set of equipment did not make them much money.

Because of this large-scale production equipmentThe payment collection cycle is too longIt's been a few years. Sometimes the client's business goes out of business, and they don't even settle the final payment.

In desperation, Guan Xiyou could only find another way and start to do itEquipment rental, just let the customer pay the rent every month. Even so,Still insolvent, after all, the flow of funds from rent is too small.

Later, Guan Xiyou estimated that the net profit of the more than 18 billion sales was less than 100 million. After seeing this data, Guan Xiyou's face turned green.

At the same time, the subsidiary in Kunming was exposedScandals of financial fraud。At this moment, Guan Xiyou can be said to be very difficult. So, in 2017, Guan Xiyou directly chose to resign and quit.

After Guan Xiyou left, Shenyang Machine Tool Factory began to stumble forward like a big ship that had lost its captain. In 2019, Shenyang Machine Tool FactoryLiabilitiesDirectly reached78.9 billion。You know, at this time, the total assets of the plant are only 18.5 billion. In this case, it is even more difficult for Shenyang Machine Tool Factory to make a turnaround.

Today's Shenyang Machine Tool Factory is still in the process of difficulty. As for what lies ahead and what the future holds, no one knows. Everyone only knows that the glory of the past seems to be gone forever.
