Material Empire

Regarding Qin Hai's plan to build a large-scale ethylene project, Wang Hongsheng had already heard from his daughter. When he first heard the news, his first feeling was that Qin Hai was too ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth. The country had spent all its efforts to build three 300,000-ton ethylene projects. Qin Hai As a private entrepreneur, he actually wants to go out and produce 800,000 tons of ethylene by himself. Isn't his courage really outrageous?

However, after Wang Zheyi introduced Qin Hai's various achievements in recent years to Wang Hongsheng, Wang Hongsheng began to think about whether Qin Hai's decision was feasible. Each of Qin Hai's previous projects was unimaginable, but each project was unexpectedly successful. Whether it is the Beixi No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant with an annual output of 200,000 tons of steel, or the thermal spraying machine that sells 1 billion US dollars a year, or the ceramic knife that was once popular in the European and American markets, all of them were created in the midst of the impossible. possibility. How could such a young man with a sharp eye and strong execution ability make fun of a large ethylene project with an investment of billions?

This time my daughter said that she would invite Qin Hai to dinner at home, and Wang Hongsheng agreed. He hopes to have a personal talk with Qin Hai to see what he thinks about the large-scale ethylene project. He revealed his identity to Qin Hai in order to attract Qin Hai's attention so that he could take this conversation more seriously.

When Qin Hai asked him about the attitude of the planning committee, Wang Hongsheng smiled and said: "The planning committee is a coordinating department. As long as your plan is feasible, the planning committee will support you and help you solve various difficulties. But If your plan is not feasible, the planning committee will not support you. Therefore, if you want to ask us about your attitude towards this project, first of all, you need to explain the feasibility of the project to us."

"Okay." Qin Hai replied, "I intend to elaborate on the feasibility of the 800,000-ton ethylene project from several aspects: first, market demand; second, technical feasibility; third, funding source ; Fourth, the supply of raw materials..."

After introducing the structure of the whole idea, Qin Hai began to explain it one by one. Regarding the plan of the large-scale ethylene project, he conducted many rounds of arguments in his mind, and also referred to a large number of materials. When narrating, he quoted classics and all kinds of domestic and foreign data at his fingertips, as if he was speaking with a manuscript. The whole narration was clear and well-founded, and both Wang Hongsheng, father and daughter, were fascinated by it.

"good!"

When Qin Hai finished his introduction, Wang Hongsheng couldn't help but applaud, with a smile on his face.

"Hey, I can't tell, Qin Hai, you have such a good eloquence." Wang Zheyi tilted her head and praised, but she mainly wanted to tell her father about Qin Hai's eloquence. She had already been taught.

"What is eloquence? It's confidence." Wang Hongsheng corrected his daughter's statement with a smile, and then said to Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, it seems that you have fully demonstrated this project and have an objective view of the existing difficulties. Knowing that the solution to the problem is also feasible, it is really a rare feasibility report.”

"Uncle Wang is too much." Qin Hai smiled slightly. "Of course our group can't take such a big decision lightly. If I haven't conducted a sufficient demonstration, how dare I go to Huaqing University and the Chemical Engineering Design Institute."

"Your group? What group?" Wang Hongsheng asked with interest.

Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice: "This is just a theory... We have more than a dozen affiliated companies. If we want to build a large ethylene project in the future, it must be jointly funded by these companies, so we called it a group in advance. "

"Well, if you want to invest in the future, an effective organizational structure is necessary. Therefore, you should unite these companies to form a group company. This is also allowed by national policies." Wang Hongsheng reminded.

Qin Haidao: "Yes, we are going to discuss the establishment of a group company in the near future."

"Dad, let's not talk about the group company for now. Do you think the planning committee can support Qin Hai's plan?" Wang Zheyi didn't forget Qin Hai's important event, and beat the side drum beside him.

Wang Hongsheng thought for a while and said: "This plan itself is very complete, but it involves some issues related to national policies, which I cannot answer now. For example, Xiao Qin, you hope to use imported crude oil as a raw material for refining in the future , this is not compatible with our country’s national conditions. Our country itself is a crude oil exporter, but you want to import crude oil, isn’t it upside down?”

Qin Haidao: "Uncle Wang, in my opinion, our country must end the situation of exporting crude oil as soon as possible. The underground resources are limited, and the road of economic development by selling resources is unsustainable. As an industrial country, we should import primary products , exporting manufactured products, this is a healthy development path.”

"Exporting industrial products is easier said than done?" Wang Hongsheng said, "In fact, we don't know this truth, but our country's industrial products are not competitive, and national construction requires a lot of foreign exchange. We don't rely on exporting resources in exchange for foreign exchange. What else can I do?"

"This situation should be changed as soon as possible." Qin Hai said helplessly.

"Okay, let's stop talking about important national affairs and eat." Wang Zheyi's mother, Wen Jinghong, poked her head out of the kitchen and yelled at several people.

"Okay, let's eat first!" Wang Hongsheng stood up and greeted with a smile.

At that moment just now, Qin Hai and Wang Hongsheng had a very speculative conversation, which seemed to be quite enjoyable. But as soon as everyone sat at the dinner table, Qin Hai began to feel a little awkward. Wen Jinghong prepared a table of good dishes, and seemed very attentive, but the more grand it was, the more uncomfortable Qin Hai felt, because he really couldn't think of what he could do, and he was worthy of being invited by the deputy director of the State Planning Commission's family eat by yourself.

In terms of relationship, he and Wang Zheyi are friends, but he did not help Wang Zheyi. On the contrary, Wang Zheyi helped him a lot, so if you want to invite him to dinner, it should be more reasonable for him to invite Wang Zheyi instead of on the contrary.

In terms of status, Wang Hongsheng is a high-ranking official, and his position is several levels higher than that of Qin Hai. There is absolutely no reason to invite a low-level private entrepreneur like him to dinner.

But Qin Hai just sat at this dinner table and enjoyed the treatment of Wen Jinghong constantly carrying food. He was able to eloquently talk about large-scale ethylene projects just now, but he really doesn't know what to say now.

Fortunately, Wen Jinghong was quite gossipy, and asked about Qin Hai's situation from time to time:

"Xiao Qin, how old are you this year?"

"23, it will be 24 after the Chinese New Year..."

"Who else is in your family?"

"There are grandma, parents, and two younger sisters..."

"What does your father do?"

"He used to be a farmer, but now he works as the director of my family's steel factory."

"I heard that you have run several businesses with your own ability?"

"It was also a mistake. It's just good luck. By the way, Xiao Wang also helped me a lot. When I was in Spain..."

"Zhe Yi is not very sensible, you should give her more advice..."

"Mom!" Wang Zheyi, who was sitting on the side, finally couldn't help it anymore. The menopausal old woman's speech became more and more strange. It seemed that she just invited a friend to the house for dinner, and didn't say that she brought her hairy-footed son-in-law to take the exam, okay?

"Uh... Auntie, Xiao Wang is actually more mature than me, and she is the one who gives me advice most of the time." Qin Hai also sensed that something was wrong, so he quickly bit the bullet and gave Wang Zheyi a high hat. In terms of psychological age, Qin Hai is a bit older than Wang Zheyi, but physically, he can only be a younger brother. Wang Zheyi is three or four years older than him, and this cannot be changed.

Wen Jinghong looked at Wang Zheyi, then at Qin Hai, smiled, and said, "I think you are quite mature, Xiaoqin, unlike Zheyi, who is already a 27-year-old girl, and you are still sloppy all day long. , I haven’t even talked about a partner until now. By the way, Xiao Qin, you are in a business and have contacts with many people. If there is a suitable one, don’t forget to introduce it to Zhe Yi.”

"Mom..." Wang Zheyi blushed, and interrupted his mother's nagging, "I just don't want to talk about it, it's not that I can't find it. Don't worry about this kind of thing, okay?"

It is probably not the first time such a conversation has occurred in this family, Wang Hongsheng hurriedly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, there are still guests, you two, stop arguing."

For such a matter, Qin Hai really couldn't get in the way. He could only smile stupidly, concentrate on eating, and pretended not to know what the people at the table were talking about.

After finally finishing his meal, Qin Hai got up to thank him, then took his leave and left. Wang Zheyi changed his coat and sent Qin Hai out. Hearing the footsteps of the two young people going downstairs, Wen Jinghong closed the door and asked Wang Hongsheng, "Old Wang, do you feel that Zhe Yi and this Qin Hai have an unusual relationship?"

"Do you need to say that?" Wang Hongsheng said angrily, "When did you see your daughter invite a young man to your house for dinner?"

Wen Jinghong frowned and said: "But, the age difference between the two of them is too much, right? Zhe Yi is four years older than him, can it be suitable?"

Wang Hongsheng said: "Age is not an obstacle. Although this Qin Hai is young, his mind is very mature. Many people in their 30s may not be as calm as him. If he really likes Zhe Yi, and Zhe Yi also likes him If that’s the case, I don’t think we need to object. However, I observed it just now, and I don’t think he has any thoughts about Zhe Yi, but Zhe Yi has some thoughts about him, and this is the most troublesome thing.”

"No, when Zhe Yi comes back, I have to have a good talk with her. She is already 27 years old, if she keeps messing around like this, she will really become an old girl who can't get married in the future." Wen Jinghong muttered. .
