Material Empire

The question Ren Feihan raised was indeed a bit sensitive to Qin Hai. The things that Qin Hai made, whether it was a thermal sprayer or a ceramic knife, all had a hint of cheating. Without the foresight of the traverser, it would be impossible for Qin Hai to come up with these things. However, the things that can be used to cheat are limited after all. If you want to really start the material industry, you have to rely on solid investment. This is the reason why Qin Hai entered the iron and steel field and the petrochemical field.

Qin Hai won't say more about these details, he has another set of more sensational rhetoric waiting for Ren Feihan:

"As the factory manager, if it was only for personal prosperity, I could have retired a long time ago, or found some short-term and quick projects to earn some easy money. However, people always have some pursuits. Although I am not a government official , I am just a private small business owner, but I also hope to be able to do something for the prosperity of the country.

I think the director of the factory is clear about the state of China's materials industry. As our country's economic construction continues to deepen, the demand for steel, cement, and chemical raw materials will definitely increase day by day. However, we still have serious deficiencies in many fields of materials, especially petrochemicals, which have been controlled by others for a long time. The director of the factory should understand this more deeply than me, right?

It is a very sad thing for a big country like ours to rely on others in terms of materials. This is why I and our group are actively promoting the large ethylene project. In addition to ethylene, we will also increase methane-based, propylene-based, C4-based, aromatics-based and other basic organic chemical products in the future. All in all, as long as the country needs chemical raw materials, we will produce them. This is my ideal as an industrial person. "

"Director Wang, is that so?" Ren Feihan felt a little surprised, he turned his head, looked at Wang Hongsheng suspiciously, and asked him for proof.

Wang Hongsheng nodded and said solemnly: "Director Ren, you have never had contact with Xiao Qin, and you don't know him well. You may think that his words are too high-profile, but I can tell you responsibly, I believe what Xiao Qin said, and he did. You can see that recently, a lot of private capital has been transferred to the south to develop real estate, but Daqin Group did not do this, but invested dozens of The investment of 100 million yuan in the ethylene project is not enough to prove Xiao Qin's ambition?"

"But..." Ren Feihan felt that his brain was not enough. As an executive of a state-owned enterprise, he has always been very disdainful of private enterprises, thinking that these enterprises will only take advantage of the country's loopholes, and really want to support the national economy. They have to rely on these big state-owned enterprises. But now, there is a private entrepreneur who speaks boldly about the ideals of industrial people in front of him, and a high-ranking government official like Wang Hongsheng is also endorsing him. How can Ren Feihan accept this.

Qin Hai smiled, and he said: "Factory Manager, you don't have to be too embarrassing. Whether what I say is true or not, you'd better experience it for yourself. Facts are used for eloquence. Is this good, come and participate first The preliminary work of Jintang Petrochemical. During this process, you can experience the style of our Daqin Group. If you feel that I have lied to you in the future, you can leave. I think Director Wang will give you an explanation. If you think we Your career is worthy of your investment, so our group welcomes you very much. What do you think?"

In this way, Ren Feihan accepted the appointment of the leader of the preparatory team of Jintang Petrochemical with half push and half, and began to fully participate in the preparatory work of the factory construction. Qin Hai took him to Huaqing University, Chemical Design Institute and other units to participate in design demonstrations, and also went with him to several petrochemical machinery factories to discuss equipment manufacturing. In addition, Ren Feihan was also invited to participate in several high-level meetings of the Daqin Group, meeting and talking with Ning Zhongying, Song Hongxuan and others.

With the deepening of understanding of Daqin Group, especially after several all-night talks with Qin Hai and Ning Zhongying, Ren Feihan's original suspicion and disdain gradually disappeared, replaced by a long-lost entrepreneurial impulse . 800,000 tons of ethylene, which is a dream platform for a senior executive who has been engaged in the petrochemical industry for a long time. Once Ren Feihan untied his knot, he immediately regarded this project as his pursuit for the rest of his life.

Ren Feihan's understanding of the petrochemical industry is far beyond Qin Hai's comparison. He quickly replaced Qin Hai's leading position in this project, and began to arrange all kinds of work in an all-round way. Using his contacts, he recruited a large number of managers and technicians from all over the country and let them enter various jobs. With his rich experience, he bargained with equipment suppliers and construction units in various bidding negotiations, and won many benefits for Daqin Group.

The construction of such a large-scale project involves a myriad of things. Qin Hai is a technical genius, but when it comes to project management, he is somewhat powerless. After Ren Feihan and his newly formed team intervened, Qin Hai was liberated. He only needed to listen to the reports and read the reports every now and then to know that everything was progressing in an orderly manner. It turned out to be such a mess.

"Talents are rare." When Qin Hai talked to Wang Hongsheng about Ren Feihan's various deeds, he was filled with emotion.

"In our system, there are a large number of such talents. As long as they are given a chance, they can make amazing achievements." Wang Hongsheng replied meaningfully.

Qin Hai sensitively sensed the mystery in Wang Hongsheng's words, and he asked, "Director Wang, what do you mean, you will recommend another group of management talents like Ren Feihan to Daqin Group in the future?"

"This kind of thing should be voluntary." Wang Hongsheng said, "Twisted melons are not sweet. It takes a lot of effort to change the concept of cadres in the system towards the private economy. I don't want to help you do this all day long. Things. Besides, not every cadre is as upright and dedicated as Ren Feihan, and it is better for your company to do it yourself when it comes to selecting talents."

"Haha, can I understand that Director Wang encouraged me to poach the corners of state-owned enterprises?" Qin Hai asked half-jokingly.

A look of helplessness flashed across Wang Hongsheng's face, and he said, "Why would I want you to poach the corner of the country? But the reality does not allow me to be too optimistic. In recent years, state-owned enterprises have suffered large-scale losses, which are related to policies. There are also some reasons why local leaders and business leaders are blindly directing. We are working hard to reverse this situation, but some things are difficult for us to do.

In my opinion, instead of letting the experienced managers of these loss-making enterprises return to the government to retire, it is better to let them transfer to a dynamic private enterprise like your Daqin Group to continue to play a role. You should admit that state-owned enterprises have cultivated quite a number of talents over the years. "

"I understand." Qin Hai nodded, expressing that he understood what Wang Hongsheng meant.

Two years ago, Qin Hai poached a large number of technical personnel from various universities and research institutes, and established the Anhe School of Materials. Now he has formed a huge technical reserve, but is facing a crisis of insufficient management talents. The cultivation of management talents is even more difficult than the cultivation of technical talents, because managing an enterprise requires not only professional knowledge, but also long-term honed experience. Since China's private economy is still in its infancy, if you want to find experienced management talents, you can only go to old state-owned enterprises to find a way.

From Wang Hongsheng's point of view, of course he does not want to see talents in state-owned enterprises being poached by private enterprises. But he also knows that after the chief designer Nanfang's speech, China will move towards a market economy in an all-round way, and many state-owned enterprises originally protected by the planning system will face screening by the market. In this process, of course, a group of companies will stand out and become the best in the market, but there will also be some companies that will be eliminated and face bankruptcy.

Wang Hongsheng is not a person with rigid thinking. He can accept the result of the survival of the fittest and knows that this is a process of great waves washing away sand. The only thing he can't let go of are the skilled workers, technicians, and management teams in these old state-owned enterprises, which are important resources for a country's industrial development.

Wang Hongsheng was inspired by the recommendation of Ren Feihan as the factory director of Jintang Petrochemical, and felt that it would be a good practice to transfer talents who could not be accommodated in state-owned enterprises to the private economy. Regardless of whether it is the state-run economy or the private economy, it is China's own national economy in the final analysis, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh.

Of course, as an official of the State Planning Commission, Wang Hongsheng could not take the initiative to promote this matter, but could only instruct Qin Hai to do the work himself. Qin Hai is a smart person. Hearing what Wang Hongsheng said, how could he not know what to do?

It is very unrealistic to expect the national ministries and commissions to directly introduce cadres from state-owned enterprises to Daqin Group. After all, ministries and commissions cannot dismantle their own platforms. What's more, there are good and bad cadres recommended by the ministries, and Qin Hai may not be willing to accept them all. The way Wang Hongsheng pointed out to him was to ask him to use market methods to recruit talents. Qin Hai was very familiar with this method.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction work of Jintang Petrochemical started vigorously. A construction team jointly composed of several domestic large-scale petrochemical machinery enterprises entered Jintang and started construction on a construction site of several square kilometers in full swing. Focusing on Jintang Petrochemical, Jintang City has specially opened up a chemical material park, planning to attract dozens of chemical material companies to settle in and build Jintang into a leading chemical material production base in China. This is a later story, so there is no need to elaborate.

After staying at the project site for a few days, Qin Hai bid farewell to Ren Feihan, Ning Mo, Xia Yangjie and others, and hurried to the capital. He received a long-distance call from Wang Hongsheng, saying that there was a change in the steel market that had just been released, and that the steel market defense war, which was expected to start in a few months, might have to start earlier.
