Material Empire

The moment he saw Qin Hai, Takehiko Takamura almost wanted to turn around and leave. Among all the Chinese people he has met, Qin Hai is undoubtedly the most difficult one to deal with. Takehiko Takamura tried his best to make a detour to the capital first, and then brought a few directors to Quwu. The purpose was to avoid Qin Hai and directly draw his salary from the bottom of the pot. But who knew, after trying all the tricks, he finally met Qin Hai.

"Mr. Takamura, we meet again, welcome."

As if he didn't see the irritated light in Takehiko Takamura's eyes, Qin Hai took the initiative to go forward, greeted Takehiko Takamura in Japanese, and at the same time stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to shake Takehiko Takamura's hand.

"This is..." Chen Yuan frowned as she saw a young man walking straight towards the foreign guests speaking Japanese, and asked Mo Kongchao.

Mo Kongchao had met Qin Hai secretly the day before, but now he pretended not to know each other and asked Liu Shuo, "Director Liu, is this young man from your factory?"

Liu Shuo hurried forward and introduced: "Mayor Mo, this is Comrade Qin Hai, the honorary director of our factory."

"Honorary factory director?" Chen Yuan, who was standing with Mo Kongchao, only felt that the sky was thundering. A small broken ceramics factory actually had an honorary factory director. What kind of title is this? Besides, honorary principals, honorary professors, etc. are all senior people, so there is no reason to find a young man who is too young to be the honorary director of the factory.

Before Chen Yuan came back to his senses, Takehiko Takamura reluctantly shook hands with Qin Hai, bowed and said something like "please take care of me". From the expressions of the two of them, everyone can see that they should know each other, and they are quite familiar with each other. In front of Takehiko Takamura, the smile on Qin Hai's face was so sincere and honest, even though Takehiko Takamura looked a bit ugly, he was still smiling. The Japanese have the habit of frugality. They combine the two expressions of crying and laughing into one to save waste. Can you control it?

After Qin Hai and Takehiko Takamura greeted each other, Liu Shuo stepped forward and introduced his staff to everyone, and Mo Kongchao also introduced Chen Yuan and his party to Liu Shuo, Qin Hai and others. After the exchange of pleasantries between the two parties, Liu Shuo invited: "Leaders, let's go to the conference room to talk."

"If possible, I hope to visit the production workshop of your factory first." Takehiko Takamura said hurriedly.

From the moment he met Qin Hai, Takehiko Takamura felt that this trip to Brother Ceramics Factory was full of various uncertainties. He didn't think that people like Chen Yuan and Zhao Bowen could settle Qin Hai. If Qin Hai insisted on getting in the way, then maybe everyone would collapse in the conference room, and then he could only leave in despair. In order to avoid this situation, he decided to act first, and proposed to visit the workshop, at least he could spy on some technical mysteries of Brother Ceramics Factory before turning his face.

For this request, Liu Shuo did not hesitate and agreed directly. In the name of not knowing much about technology, he let Qin Hai walk in front, side by side with Takamura Takehiko, Chen Yuan and the translator, while he took a step back and walked with Mo Kongchao, Zhao Bowen and others.

"Director Chen, what are you mainly investigating today?" Qin Hai asked Chen Yuan as he walked.

"I'm here with Mr. Gaocun, what needs to be investigated, please communicate with Mr. Gaocun directly with Director Qin." Chen Yuan replied.

Qin Hai smiled slightly, and said, "Oh, that's fine. You don't have to be polite, Director Chen, you can just call me Xiao Qin."

"Really? I think Xiao Qin, you are very young, and you are not from Quwu. How did you become the honorary director of Brother Ceramics Factory?" Chen Yuan couldn't help asking, Qin Hai spoke to her At that time, his attitude was very respectful, but not flattering, which made Chen Yuan have a good impression of him, which is why he asked such a question.

Qin Hai said with a smile: "It's all because Director Liu and they are too polite. In fact, I only helped Brother Ceramics Factory solve some key technical problems, and I can be regarded as a hero in the factory. In order to thank me, Director Liu let I became the honorary director of the factory."

"I see." Chen Yuan nodded, "So, you have made some achievements in ceramics."

"Small tricks, tricks." Qin Hai said repeatedly.

Everyone talked and walked, and soon came to the production area. The main raw material for the production of ceramics is porcelain clay, and a large amount of coal needs to be burned, so the production area is very dusty and steamy. Chen Yuan raised her hand and gently covered her nose with a disgusted expression on her face. Qin Hai said softly: "Director Chen, we have already noticed the problem of dust and exhaust gas pollution. We will install a complete set of dust removal and heat recovery equipment no later than next spring at the latest, and then you can come to us again , you will see the factory area with bright and clean windows.”

"Really?" Chen Yuan was a little surprised. She knew what was going on with the dust removal equipment in ceramic factories. To make the windows of the factory area clear and clean, the investment in dust removal was very considerable. Many large ceramic factories in China did not dare to install such equipment. , and the Brother Ceramics Factory actually has such a plan.

"Xiao Qin, do you know how much it costs to invest in a complete set of dust removal and heat recovery equipment?" Chen Yuan asked.

"We have learned about it, about 12 million." Qin Hai said.

"12 million... It took so much, about 4 million should be enough." Chen Yuan corrected.

Qin Haidao: "You are talking about our existing production capacity, and we plan to increase the production capacity by 4 times within this year, so the investment in dust removal will increase accordingly."

"Increase the production capacity by 4 times, do you have such a big business?" Chen Yuan asked curiously, she remembered that Mo Kong said to her that Brother Ceramics Factory may receive orders worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which corresponds to what Qin Hai said From the looks of it, it seems that there is such a thing.

Qin Haidao: "You will know after looking at our products in a while."

Speaking of this, they have already walked into the largest workshop, facing a rather spectacular sintering furnace. Chen Yuan has somewhat of an industrial background and can recognize what this is for. Ceramics are all fired, and the sintering furnace is naturally the core equipment of the ceramics factory.

"This sintering furnace is used to sinter high-temperature refractory ceramic tiles." Qin Hai began to introduce to everyone, "Our Brother Ceramics Factory produces alumina, zirconia and other refractory ceramics, and the products are exported to more than 20 countries in China. provinces and cities, and a small amount of products are exported to Southeast Asia and other places..."

He introduced it endlessly, but the audience was absent-minded, but no one interrupted his introduction abruptly. Chen Yuan, Zhao Bowen and other officials didn't care about the specific production technology. They went to Brother Ceramics Factory only to accompany Takehiko Takamura. Logically speaking, Takamura Takehiko should be the person most interested in Qin Hai's introduction, but the problem is that he didn't come here for any refractory ceramic bricks at all. In terms of the production process of this kind of ceramic tiles, Cucera can beat Brother Ceramics by several blocks, why should he come here to listen to such nonsense?

Although he thought so in his heart, Takehiko Takamura couldn't show it. You said you wanted to look at private companies, and they brought you here. You said you wanted to see the production situation first, and they brought you here as well. If you say you don't want to hear these things at this time, you are treating the owner like a monkey. The chief of the department was furious, although he would not bleed for five steps, but it was no small matter, how could Takehiko Takamura make a mistake.

"Well, the ceramic bricks from your factory are indeed very good. Japan is a big steel country, and we need a huge amount of refractory bricks every year. Now that we know that your factory can produce ceramic bricks, we will strive to cooperate with your factory in the future. Cooperate in this regard and jointly develop the Japanese market." Takehiko Takamura made a promise casually.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Gaocun. Since Mr. Gaocun said that he intends to cooperate with our factory in this regard, please follow me. I will introduce to you in detail our production links such as material preparation, billet making, and post-inspection. "Qin Hai suggested badly.

"This... I'm afraid it's more in line with what we did in Kusela, so don't bother Mr. Qin to introduce it?" Takehiko Takamura refused with a bitter face.

"No trouble, I'm not tired." Qin Hai politely rejected Takehiko Takamura's concern, and insisted: "Is it similar to your company's approach? I think we'd better take a look."

"No need..."

"It's okay, let's see..."

"I……"

"It's still early for dinner, don't delay Mr. Gaocun's meal."

"I'm not hungry……"

"That's even better, walk more, and eat lunch when you have an empty stomach."

"..."

Even when communicating in Japanese, Qin Hai opened his mouth far better than Takehiko Takamura. If swearing was allowed on the scene, maybe Takehiko Komura would still have a chance to make a comeback, but among a group of civilized people, how could Takehiko Komura have the nerve to say "Baga"? He had no choice but to be led by Qin Hai to visit every corner of the ceramic tile workshop.

"Look, it's only time for dinner. We just finished our tour. Let's go to the cafeteria for dinner." Qin Hai looked at his watch and warmly invited everyone.

"You mean, we're done with the tour?" Takehiko Takamura was startled and asked hastily.

"That's right, this is the main workshop of our brother ceramics factory." Qin Hai said cutely.

Takehiko Takamura was in a hurry: "Aren't there... there are two workshops behind here?"

Qin Haidao: "The workshop behind here is not very interesting. It is just trying to produce some new products. Some of the processes are not yet mature. You won't see anything famous if you go there."

"Since it's here, I think it's best to take a look." Takehiko Takamura insisted. He believed that the small workshops in the back must be the production workshops of ceramic knives. This is what he pays most attention to, and of course he can't miss it.

"Xiao Qin, if the Japanese guest wants to see it, let's take him there." Liu Shuo suggested enthusiastically.

"Mr. Liu has spoken, please invite Mr. Gaocun." Qin Hai gestured to everyone as if he was very unhappy. Chen Yuan saw all this in her eyes, and couldn't help but have some expectations in her heart:

Who is this ceramic knife that can stir up such a big disturbance.
