Material Empire

"I said, Boss Qin, you are too greedy to chew. Can you take care of so many topics?"

In the small conference room of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, Xia Yangjie, who came all the way from Pujiang to attend the group summit, teased Qin Hai with a smile.

The creation of the School of Materials is still going on in an orderly manner. Materials scholars recruited from all over the world, after fully understanding Qin Hai's intentions, burst out with enthusiasm for scientific research, and proposed their own research topics for the next three to five years. All kinds of plans are like a call for action in the war years. It was full of Qin Hai's desk.

After fulfilling the affairs of the School of Materials, Qin Hai returned to Pingyuan, and notified the heads of enterprises scattered all over the place to come to Pingyuan to hold a group meeting to discuss the work of the group.

The annual meeting of business leaders is internally called a group summit, but in reality there is no concept of a group. Qin Hai already owns quite a few companies, but he has not had time to integrate them into a group, and there is only a loose connection between the companies.

Due to the export of thermal spraying machines, Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory has become Qin Hai's most profitable enterprise, and Qin Hai is more willing to use it as his base camp. In addition to Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, there are other enterprises related to Qinhai:

Pingyuan Special Steel Works is controlled by Qin Hai, and Ning Mo, Yu Haitao, and Miao Lei each have a part of the shares. Currently, Qin Hai's father, Qin Minghua, is the director of the factory, and its main business is the production and export of special steel products;

Beixi No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant, Qin Hai's sole proprietorship, is currently headed by Song Hongxuan. After several years of development, it has reached an annual output of 400,000 tons of steel. It is also one of the largest enterprises in Anhe Province and contributes a large amount of cash flow to Qin Hai every year;

Qujiang Cement Factory, which is a joint venture between Qin Hai and Qujiang Farm, has been expanding in scale over the past few years, and its main products are special cement. Its director is Fu Wenbin, the former director of Qujiang Farm, who is Heizi's father;

The main shareholders of Pujiang Haijie Technology Service Company are Qin Hai and Xia Yangjie. After Ning Mo and Yu Haitao came to Pujiang, they also received part of the shares. The company's main business is polymer material research. Profit from patent fees;

Pujiang Dongyao Plastic Factory, the main shareholders are Qin Hai, Liu Yaozhong, and Zhou Dongyi. The business scope is the research of new plastics, and it also makes profits by authorizing the transfer of patented technology;

Quwu Ceramics Group in Linxi Province is a joint venture between Brothers Ceramics Factory and Quwu Municipal Government. Qin Hai has decision-making power in Brothers Ceramics Factory, and Brothers Ceramics Factory is the controlling shareholder of Quwu Ceramics Group. Yu has control over the group. This company is currently chaired by Liu Shuo, but everyone knows that Liu Shuo is just Qin Hai's spokesperson.

In addition to the above-mentioned production and scientific research enterprises, Qin Hai also has a company that specializes in foreign trade, that is, Hongyuan Province Honghai Industrial Company, which cooperates with Chen Hongcheng. Honghai Industrial Company was originally Chen Hongcheng's own company, but after cooperating with Qin Hai, Chen Hongcheng realized the value of Qin Hai, so he simply reorganized the company and sold half of the shares to Qin Hai. At present, this company undertakes the export agency business of Qin Hai's various companies, and also manages Qin Hai's huge foreign exchange funds left overseas.

After the School of Materials started to be established, this school naturally became an integral part of Qin Hai's huge industrial system, and it was an institution that Qin Hai placed great hopes on. However, there is currently no suitable manager in this institution. Long Changsheng, who was borrowed from the Agricultural Machinery Technical School, is not a member of Qin Hai's system after all, and Qin Hai dare not entrust him with all the power.

All these companies hold a meeting of the responsible persons every year. Of course, this meeting can only be held in Pingyuan. The main purpose of holding such a meeting is also to allow companies to get acquainted with each other and take care of each other when they encounter something.

Song Hongxuan suggested to Qin Hai more than once that he should integrate all these enterprises into one group company for better management. However, Qin Hai didn't intend to do this for the time being. He knew that the domestic policy on the private economy was not stable enough, and he still knew a little about the reason why it was so popular. If these industries are merged prematurely, once there is a little trouble, it is easy to lose everything. Ning Zhongying supported his idea, and the old man also believed that it would be safer and more reliable to disperse it.

Although no formal group company has been established, each company still thinks that they belong to the same group, so the annual meeting is nicknamed the group summit every year.

At this year's annual meeting, the most eye-catching topic is naturally the Anhe School of Materials, which is under construction. Qin Hai introduced the original intention of establishing the School of Materials and future plans to everyone. Hearing Qin Hai mention a series of research directions like a dish, Xia Yangjie, who is also a materials expert, couldn't help being dumbfounded, shocked by Qin Hai's generosity.

"Xiao Qin, I've never heard of the material you're talking about. Do you really believe that it can be produced soon?" Ning Zhongying also frowned and asked Qin Haifa.

Qin Haidao: "Director Ning, although there are many items in these materials, there are special personnel responsible for each item. These people are the authorities in this direction in our country. As long as they are given some time, they will always be able to produce decent results. .”

"But, you have made so many achievements, how do we digest them? Xiaoxia is right, aren't you a bit greedy?" Ning Zhongying questioned.

Ning Mo, who came with Xia Yangjie, interjected: "Dad, you are an old brain. As long as you have results, are you afraid that no one will want it? Dad, do you know how many patents our Haijie Company sold last year? 18, now we just sit around and don’t work every day, and a lot of money comes in.”

"You make money by selling technology. After all, it's small money. How can you make more money by doing production yourself?" Ning Zhongying gave her son a disdainful look and said proudly.

Hearing what Ning Zhongying said, Ning Mo went dumb. He wasn't intimidated by his father's despotic power, but the profits that Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory got from the production of thermal spraying machines were really against the sky. Haijie Company earned tens of millions of dollars from selling patents, but how could it compare with It can be said that Qingfeng Factory earns several hundred million U.S. dollars every year.

"Yes, Director Ning is right. If we put some technologies into production, we may earn more money." Liu Yaozhong seized the opportunity to interject. After selling the patent for three years, Liu Yaozhong began to feel a little reconciled, hoping to earn more money. He came to the meeting this time to find an opportunity to talk to Qin Hai about his production.

"Old Liu, if you want to do your own production, it means you have to do sales by yourself. Do you have any channels for this?" Qin Hai asked.

Liu Yaozhong said: "Our Dongyao factory used to run sales by itself... Of course, it was quite difficult. In the past two years, we have accumulated some accumulation, and I want to try to engage in production. Anyway, there are scientific research matters. Dongyi is holding on, and I can't get in. I think about building a production equipment by myself, and there are several modified polyvinyl chloride products, and we can produce it ourselves."

Qin Hai nodded and said: "Well, let's talk about this issue separately later, I have some ideas, and I can share them with you."

"Okay, okay, let's talk alone later." Liu Yaozhong responded with joy in his heart.

After talking about Liu Yaozhong, Qin Hai turned his head and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have been thinking about the establishment of the School of Materials for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be implemented so soon. All of our companies can get quick Development depends on technological leadership, and technology will always be our core competitiveness. However, a momentary lead cannot explain anything. If we want to remain invincible in the market competition, we must maintain a long-term lead, and this is We need to have an inexhaustible source of innovation, and this source is our School of Materials."

"I agree with Mr. Qin's statement." Liu Shuo said, "We, Quwu Ceramics Group, have been carrying out in-depth development of zirconia ceramics for the past few years, and have achieved some results, and have performed well in the international market. .However, I know that the R\u0026D capabilities of our group's research institutes are still very limited. It is no problem to improve the original technology; but it is very difficult for them to make any major breakthroughs. I have talked with the engineers , They said that if you want to have a revolutionary new product, you must have theoretical support, and these theories, at their level, cannot be done."

"That's for sure. If you can come up with new theories there, why do you need a university?" Xia Yangjie said with a smile. He himself came out of a university, and he still has some university complexes.

Qin Haidao: "The situation Liu Shuo said applies to our other companies as well. The special cement and Pinggang's special steel products from Mr. Fu's side are still relying on their old capital. They are a few formulas that I got by chance in the past. If we want to continue to maintain our market position in the future, we must come up with new formulas and new processes, and this cannot rely on me, it requires a dedicated scientific research team, which is the significance of the establishment of the School of Materials."

"I agree with the establishment of the School of Materials." Ning Zhongying said, "What we were talking about just now is whether you spread the noodles too much. Wouldn't it be better to concentrate it?"

Qin Haidao: "It doesn't matter if the noodles are bigger. If we really can't digest the technology, we can keep it as a technical reserve. If these scientific researchers stay in their original units, they will all be wasted. Let us Come here, let's spend a little money to support them, so that they can make some achievements, why not do it? Besides, we don't know what good things they will make now, maybe someone will come up with one For technologies such as thermal spraying, all our initial investment will be paid back."
