Xu Zhigang fell into deep thought.

The central and provincial policies have been released, which is of course a good thing. The problem is that these policies cannot be directly converted into real capital investment. For Handu Machinery Industry Group, what is lacking now is the capital investment issue.

If you don’t have money, you can talk about anything. The R&D team needs R&D funds, the technicians have to eat to support the family, and you even have to go out for inspection, study and exchange. This requires money. Even at critical moments, you really have to acquire some patented technologies to break through technical barriers. These are all essential.

But there is still a lot of room for vitality in Sha Zhengyang's words. Xu Zhigang is not the kind of leader who only works on technology. He can hear the supportive meaning in Sha Zhengyang's words, that's fine.

"Director Sha, our group sincerely hopes to completely break the technological blockade of foreign countries in the future boring machine series technology. You may also know that the import of tbm for the Qinling Tunnel construction in Qin Province is 370 million, but if you don't buy it, you won't be able to do it. If we can produce it, how much foreign exchange can be saved for the country? We can even export it to other countries, how much foreign exchange can we make?" Xu Zhigang's tone was full of unwillingness and resentment. "We are backward now, which does not mean that we do not have the ability to catch up. As long as we can give us funds and time, I have the confidence to break through this bottleneck and catch up with pioneers like Japan and Germany, but now our company is also facing difficulties. If the government can help us alleviate some of the difficulties, I think we can free up more time, energy and funds to invest in it,..."

Sha Zhengyang laughed, which was in line with his impression of Xu Zhigang in his previous life. Since we cannot find a gap in this aspect, consider it from another perspective. As long as it can help alleviate the pressure on enterprises in other aspects, it is equivalent to supporting the development of enterprises in disguise. This can be achieved at the provincial and municipal levels.

"Old Xu, I have recorded your opinions. I will report to the provincial leaders at that time. In addition, when exchanging opinions with you, I will also make it clear that my views remain unchanged. We insist on technology first. Core technology must be mastered in our own hands. This is the principle. In addition, I personally have a suggestion." Sha Zhengyang pondered for a moment, "Cooperating with construction companies can actually be a path. First, they are actual users, and the product comes out, and the effect feedback is the most intuitive. In addition, with the development of our country's construction companies, the demand for advanced equipment in all aspects will also increase. On this point, I think the goals of both parties are the same. As long as we discuss, one cannot do two companies, two companies cannot do three companies, and you can always find a suitable partner."

Seeing Sha Zhengyang speaking so earnestly and frankly, Xu Zhigang was also a little moved.

He could hear that the other party sincerely hoped that the group could make a breakthrough in the series of excavator products. The judgment of the huge demand in the high-speed rail, highway and subway fields in the future is also accurate. The products of the excavator (shield machine and tbm) in this field are still blank in China, and only a few Western developed countries can produce them abroad. Therefore, as long as the breakthrough is made in this product, it will not only be a vast market, but also open a door for China's construction machinery products to go abroad.

"In addition, Lao Xu, my personal opinion is that your project should not be stopped, and it should be strengthened. All from technology to personnel to funds should be given priority. I know the difficulties faced by enterprises now, but you should also see that the difficulties faced by enterprises are temporary, and the reason is largely because the company is not competitive and rich enough in products. Cutting off a R&D project may save some funds, but this is to cut off one's own roots. Without advanced technology products, how can we get competitiveness? Without products, enterprises will only fall into a vicious cycle, which will be more difficult. Therefore, we should try our best to survive the temporary difficulties, rather than dig our own graves,..."

Sha Zhengyang's words were very pertinent, and Xu Zhigang also knew that the problem was that the difficulties faced by enterprises were also in front of them. It was obvious that Handu Machinery Industry Group, which was first in the field, could not bear it.

"Director Sha, I'm going to hide it from you. All you said is right. The problem is that the company is really in trouble now, I'm afraid..." Xu Zhigang said with some difficulty.

"Old Xu, I know you are in trouble now. This is the case. I hope you will find a way for you to solve the subsequent R&D funding problem within three months. How about it?" Sha Zhengyang thought for a while.

"Three months?!" Xu Zhigang was a little confused. He was not underestimating the other party's ability. He wanted to invest real money. In Xu Zhigang's view, no one would be willing to invest money in this bottomless pit when there was no hope at all.

"Yes, three months, how about it?" Sha Zhengyang nodded.

Xu Zhigang thought for a while and weighed it for a while; "Okay, Director Sha, that's only three months, not even one more day. Within three months, I will continue to support the project in promoting R&D according to the original plan, but you did not give me a satisfactory answer within three months. Cutting off this R&D project is an unchangeable decision."

"Okay, one word is certain." Sha Zhengyang didn't say much.

After a long investigation at Handu Machinery Industry Group, he had a light meal in the factory canteen at noon. During the whole process, Sha Zhengyang was constantly communicating with the management and technical executives of Handu Machinery Industry Group. The focus was on exploring the future product direction and positioning of Handu Machinery Industry Group.

In Sha Zhengyang's view, Xu Zhigang's idea is relatively accurate, that is, to ensure the technological leadership of his own products.

Although Xu Zhigang intends to give up on the boring machine series products, it is because in Xu Zhigang's view, Handu Machinery Industry Group's technical reserves are insufficient and the risks are difficult to control.

Although it has cooperation with Handa University and Tsinghua University, the R&D investment is continuous and huge for a long time. Handu Machinery Industry Group's investment risk is very high, and it may end up in vain.

The rock drilling trolley is different. This series has always been the company's advantageous products and occupies the first place in the national market. R&D investment in this area can ensure that the technological advantages of its own products have always been ahead of the curve. Therefore, Xu Zhigang never gave up the R&D investment in this area, to ensure absolute leadership in this area, and even to be in line with international advanced standards. This is also the foundation for Handu Machinery Industry Group to survive.

Handu Machinery Industry Group is not unable to see the huge market prospects of boring machines, nor does it have the desire to make breakthroughs in this area. The key is that it lacks confidence and lacks all aspects, and it has caught up with this time node, so it is a little overwhelmed.

But Sha Zhengyang knew that as long as he survived this level, the huge market demand would make TBM and shield machines from Japan, Germany and other countries have been well-fed in the Chinese market.

The research and development of the boring machine series products in China in the past life took seven or eight years to start with companies such as China Railway Heavy Industry, Railway Construction and Northern Heavy Industry. It will be more than ten years later to achieve results.

But more than ten years have been a period of rapid progress in China's high-speed railways, expressways and subway construction. Needless to mention highways, it has become almost the basic configuration of every county in all provinces and counties in the country in twenty years. Think about China's high-speed railways from scratch to the world's number one, think about the central government's continuous increase in the economic and fiscal indicator threshold for the construction of subways in order to limit the construction of major cities. Even so, it still cannot curb the impulse of subway construction in various places. The huge demand for urbanization forces local governments to make efforts to solve the problem of traffic bottlenecks, which has brought about a huge market.

The demand for both shield machines and tbm is quite large. If we can make a breakthrough in this area, this will definitely be a strategic core industry that can support a worthy support for Handu.

When Sha Zhengyang left after the investigation, Xu Zhigang provided the basic situation, technical advantages and future development plans of Handu Machinery Industry Group in accordance with Sha Zhengyang's requirements. Although they are all the same, some of the ideas of Handu Machinery Industry Group can be seen, and Sha Zhengyang feels that it is still valuable.

This company has been investing heavily in technology research and development for the past decade, which has made this company just a very ordinary machinery manufacturing company in Han City grow into the top ten engineering machinery companies in China step by step, especially in products such as rock drilling trolleys, which are unique across the country.

If such a company that is a bit like Huawei in some aspects cannot grow and grow, it will be a pity in Sha Zhengyang's opinion. As long as appropriate support is provided, this company will have a chance to become an internationally renowned large-scale engineering machinery company such as Caterpillar and Komatsu in the future.

Liang Jinbai has been paying attention to this boss who is only one year older than him.

He has carefully considered every detail of the other party's actions in the past few days. He feels that he can discover the other party's success from these details.

He noticed that Sha Zhengyang attached great importance to Handu Machinery Industry Group, especially when it mentioned the research and development of the product of the excavator. On this topic, it took at least two hours to discuss with the other party's general manager. For this reason, he also promised to solve the problem for the other party to promote the other party's research and development that the other party cannot give up the research and development of this project.

In Liang Jinbai's opinion, his boss's behavior was beyond ordinary practice, which surprised him.

As the leader of the Development and Planning Commission, you can generally manage the macro. Even if you go offline in a specific industry, of course, it is reasonable to have a specific project or enterprise, but Sha Zhengyang's specific refinement is too delicate.
