Material Empire

"This Qin Hai can really mess around!"

Behind a window of the city government office building, deputy mayor Shen Chuanming watched the farce outside the compound, shaking his head helplessly and commented.

"Mayor Shen, I didn't handle this matter well." Yu Kexiu who was standing next to Shen Chuanming timidly did self-examination. Anyway, the workers in the factory ran to the city government. This is the factory. long wrong.

Yu Kexiu was originally working in the city, and when he heard that workers from his factory came to the city government to petition, he hurried over. He originally planned to persuade Xu Yongde and others to leave by himself, but Heizi told him that he had a better way, so he only had to go and explain to Shen Chuanming, so he came to Shen Chuanming's office. Just now, he watched the whole process with Shen Chuanming, and explained everything on the scene to Shen Chuanming at any time.

"Use the retirement salary to stabilize the retired workers, and then use the retired workers to deal with those disobedient working workers...Your Mr. Qin is really clever at such a young age." Shen Chuanming walked back to his desk and sat down. Come down and say to Kexiu.

Yu Kexiu also left the window, sat back on the sofa, and replied honestly: "I heard that there is a think tank behind Mr. Qin who can give him some ideas. He can do his own business well. It's so big, it makes sense."

"Talent, talent is rare." Shen Chuanming commented as he tapped his finger on the table. He had lost face in negotiating with Qin Hai before, and now he can only show his tolerance in this way. He had to admit that although Qin Hai's education was not as high as his own, his age was not as old as his, and his position was not worth mentioning, but this person's talent was above his own.

"Director Yu, what are your plans for the next step at Jinnan Chemical Factory?" Shen Chuanming asked.

Yu Kexiu said: "According to President Qin's arrangement, the first step is to resume production. Zhou Dongyi, the chief engineer of Pujiang Dongyao Plastic Factory, is working with our technical section chief Yu Huiguo to design a new production line these days. They are preparing to produce two kinds of modified polyvinyl chloride products. They also provided our factory with a fund of 500,000 yuan to purchase some new equipment, which will be delivered this month. In this way, our factory can have several Fist product."

"Well, not bad." Shen Chuanming nodded in praise, "Then what's the next step?"

Yu Kexiu said: "The next step, Mr. Qin asked us to build a sales team to carry out sales across the country. At that time, Director Liu of Dongyao Plastic Factory will personally lead the team. He has rich sales experience and can help us The sales system has been established. Mr. Qin said that this stage is just training, mainly to cultivate a team of skilled workers. When our team matures, he will make an additional large investment to expand the production scale of our factory to More than 10 times what it is now."

"How much investment will it take to expand to more than 10 times? Wouldn't it cost tens of millions?" Shen Chuanming asked Yu Kexiu with wide eyes.

Yu Kexiu said with a little pride: "At least 20 million or more is required. If it is not done well, 50 million is possible. President Qin said that he wants to build Jintang into the largest polymer material in the country. Base. The investment in our factory is only a small amount, and there will be greater investment in the future.”

"Is this too much to say?" Shen Chuanming said dubiously, "50 million is still a small head, is he going to invest 500 million? If he can really invest 500 million, I, the mayor, should let me He went to sit. My industrial enterprises in Jintang City are not worth 500 million, right?"

"It's really hard to say." Yu Kexiu said, "I heard that President Qin is inviting Huaqing University, as well as the Chemical Design Institute and other units to jointly develop and design large-scale domestic 800,000-ton ethylene equipment. Such a complete set of equipment , the investment is at least a few billion. If it is built in our Jintang City in the future, think about it, is it a matter of 500 million?"

"Does President Qin have so much money?" Shen Chuanming asked.

Yu Kexiu shook his head and said: "Listen to him, he doesn't have so much funds at present, and needs to raise funds from various sources. However, I believe he has this ability. You don't know, the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the State Economic Commission , he is all related, especially Yang Xinyu, Vice Minister of the Machinery Department, who trusts and values ​​Mr. Qin very much. Mr. Qin may not have so much funds, but he uses his influence to let these ministries and commissions fund the construction of this project , is entirely possible."

"Great!" Shen Chuanming clapped his hands and said excitedly: "If Mr. Qin can really bring the 800,000-ton ethylene project to our Jintang, then he will be the lucky star of our Jintang. If you want to hold Mr. Qin back, no matter what support you need, the city will fully cooperate. If you can pull over such a multi-billion investment project, think about it, won’t all the problems of taxation and employment be solved?”

"Uh... I'll do my best." Yu Kexiu was speechless. The local government's enthusiasm for attracting foreign investment was beyond his comprehension.

The turmoil about the assessment of all employees has subsided like this. Xu Yongde spoke harshly, but when he really couldn't make a fuss, he could only go to the service company to report in desperation. In any case, the factory promises to pay 50% of the wages to the service company, which is much better than when the factory was shut down a while ago. As for those qualified employees who can get the long-lost full salary, they are even more motivated, and no one will think of embarrassing the factory.

The foreign team led by Ning Mo, with the cooperation of retired workers, began to rectify the work discipline of the whole factory. With the previous lessons, the workers know what to do. Observing discipline is actually not difficult, it just depends on everyone's self-awareness. On the one hand, there is a 100% salary, and even the promise of a bonus, on the other hand, the threat of being kicked to a service company. Who else would be assassinated at this time?

A batch of new equipment was shipped to Jinnan Factory, and under the command of Zhou Dongyi, Yu Huiguo and others, the installation was completed quickly. The production process of several modified polyvinyl chloride products developed by Zhou Dongyi has been designed, and the Jinnan factory has once again heard the roar of the machine and the howling sound of various air valves when they are deflated. When outsiders hear such howls, they will inevitably tremble with fear, but the workers of the Jinnan factory are very familiar with this sound, which means that the Jinnan factory has come back to life.

At the same time as the Jinnan Factory, there are five other enterprises including the Hongguang FRP Factory. The stories that happened in these enterprises are also the same as Jinnan Factory. After a short period of pain, all enterprises have gradually entered the right track, and various production activities have shown signs of prosperity.

Qin Hai did not participate in these specific tasks. After laying the foundation for Ning Mo and others, he left Jintang. He still has a lot to do, and he cannot stay in Jintang for too long. Accompanied by Ji Zhenrong, director of the Department of Chemical Engineering of Huaqing University, he is discussing the design and development of large-scale ethylene equipment with experts from the Chemical Engineering Design Institute.

"We have basically completed the principle design of large-scale ethylene equipment. Since we have previous experience in designing 300,000-ton ethylene equipment, the progress in this area has been relatively smooth. The obstacles we encounter now are mainly the material problems of large-scale cryogenic equipment. To solve these problems, all designs are just ideas on paper and cannot be turned into actual products.

In fact, several domestic research institutions are doing research on low-temperature materials, and there has been no significant progress so far. According to our estimates, it is basically impossible for our country to solve this problem within ten years, so follow-up research is actually meaningless. "

In the large conference room of the Chemical Engineering Design Institute, Fan Zhiyuan, the director of the first research office, introduced the progress of the work to Qin Hai with a blank face. From his original intention, he was not willing to accept this research work, because he simply didn't think he could solve the problems he faced. Because of Ji Zhenrong's face, and taking the design fee transferred from Ji Zhenrong, he could only reluctantly let his subordinates start the work. At this time, facing Qin Hai, his client, his attitude was really unflattering .

"Old Fan, can't you say that? The low-temperature materials for the 800,000-ton ethylene plant have been solved more than 10 years ago in foreign countries. Even if our technology level is behind theirs, we can still catch up if we work hard. Why do you rely on it?" Do you think we won’t be able to solve it within 10 years?” Ji Zhenrong retorted dissatisfiedly, he accepted Qin Hai’s commission firmly, and took the Chemical Engineering Design Institute to do this project together. Fan Zhiyuan’s attitude made him face a little bit. I can't get down.

Fan Zhiyuan looked at Qin Hai and said, "Of course, everything is man-made. Maybe we can work harder to break through this technical difficulty. However, I think it's better to get a vaccination in advance for some things, so as not to waste time." Mr. Qin's expectations are too high, and if the future progress is not satisfactory, Mr. Qin will be too passive."

Hearing Fan Zhiyuan's words, Qin Hai felt a little funny. Fan Zhiyuan changed his words, but the meaning has not changed, that is, he firmly believes that the problem of low-temperature materials is difficult to solve, but he just put it more euphemistically. Speaking of which, the scholars back then were quite pedantic. After 20 years, no one would foolishly push the business they got.

"Director Fan, I agree with what you said earlier. The main difficulty of large-scale ethylene plants lies in the low-temperature materials. More precisely, it is the materials for large-scale ethylene spherical tanks and the materials for ethylene three-machines. Except for the use of low-temperature materials in ethylene plants In addition, it is also widely used in many other fields. If we can use this project to break a new path in the research of low-temperature materials, it will be a great boost to the research of materials in the whole country. Therefore, I hope Director Fan can Organize elite soldiers and strong generals, and spare no expense to form a breakthrough in this area.

The great man once said that ten thousand years is too long to seize the day and night. I think, can we limit ourselves to two years and strive to completely remove this stumbling block within two years? "Qin Hai said to Fan Zhiyuan, his tone was very calm, as if conveying a firm confidence.
