Material Empire

Qin Hai initiated the Jintang Chemical Alliance, of course, not simply to do good deeds. He didn't refuse to do something for these colleagues in Jintang City, but he didn't have so much leisure time to think about everything for others.

He hoped that the chemical companies in Jintang could unite to enter the international market. There is only one fundamental reason, that is, since Daqin Group has already regarded Jintang as a base for chemical polymer materials, then Jintang should not only be the only one outstanding in Daqin Group, but There should be many enterprises developing together to form an environment conducive to the sustainable development of the industry. In a figurative language, it is to form an "industrial commons".

For an enterprise to develop, in addition to its own resources, it also depends to a large extent on various public resources in the location where the enterprise is located, including collaborative relationships, supply chains, talents, public knowledge, and so on.

Throughout the world, whether it is the early Birmingham and Chicago, or the modern Silicon Valley, the Pearl River Delta, and the Yangtze River Delta, they all show strong characteristics of industrial agglomeration. The same type of enterprises established in these areas have a much higher probability of success than those established in other areas.

For example, in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta of later generations, there have been many counties or towns specialized in lamps, kitchen utensils, shoes, etc. In these places, a street is often full of manufacturers selling related accessories and providing various services, forming a A complete chain of cooperation. In addition, there are also various professionals gathered here. If an investor wants to enter this industry, he can recruit all talents from the general manager to the front-line operators in a short period of time as long as he posts a recruitment notice.

Such an industrial environment formed by the mutual influence of many enterprises is not privately owned by any one enterprise, so it can be called "industrial commons". The industrial commons is not real land, but it is an important foundation for the thriving industry.

The United States used to have a strong manufacturing industry, but after the 1960s and 1970s, the manufacturing industry began to transfer to Japan, South Korea, and China. By the beginning of the new century, many industries had seriously declined. Under such circumstances, the President of the United States put forward the slogan of revitalizing the manufacturing industry. The movement is not small, but the effect is slow. The reason is that the "industrial commons" suitable for the growth of the manufacturing industry has declined, and there is a lack of development of the manufacturing industry. environment of. Under such circumstances, the proposal to revive the manufacturing industry feels somewhat powerless.

Qin Hai has not systematically studied the theory of industrial organization, so he can't say much about it, but he has realized the significance of the industrial commons from his own personal practice. He hoped that Jintang would become the most developed area in the country's chemical industry and form a commons that would help the development of the chemical material industry. To achieve this, it is not enough to rely solely on the Daqin Group, it requires the joint efforts of many other enterprises.

Out of such considerations, Qin Hai has always paid a lot of attention to other chemical companies in Jintang, and also told Ning Mo and Xia Yangjie, the heads of the chemical materials group, to attach importance to supporting their peers. In the past two years, Qin Hai organized experts from the School of Materials to help these companies improve their technology, not only in exchange for their support for environmental protection, but also in the motivation of promoting the development of these peers, thereby promoting the full development of the entire Jintang chemical industry.

Today, Jintang's chemical industry has begun to take shape and is well-known in China. Qin Hai judged the situation and proposed the goal of developing overseas in groups. He believes that once these enterprises enter the international market, they will inevitably bring in various advanced foreign concepts and experience in international competition, and at the same time create a comprehensive network of relationships abroad, all of which are needed by the Daqin Group of. From the immediate point of view, it seems that the Daqin Group is taking the lead to take everyone out to sea together, but in the long run, everyone's fighting in the trend will bring back countless returns for the Daqin Group.

It is naturally inconvenient for Qin Hai to say more about these thoughts, since everyone thinks that he is helping everyone with selfless thoughts, then he will acquiesce. Even if he said now that he wanted to get help from other people, I am afraid that others would not believe it. After all, it is not one or two isolated companies that can have a positive impact on Daqin Group, but the atmosphere created by dozens or hundreds of companies.

"I've been thinking about this matter for a long time. I'm bringing it up to you now because our country has reached such a point. Now that the World Trade Organization has just been established, our country is also negotiating with relevant countries to try to join it as soon as possible. WTO. Once China joins the WTO, the entire foreign trade environment will be greatly improved. At that time, we will encounter much fewer constraints when we want to expand the international market. If you don’t take the time to test the water at this time, I’m afraid that It's too late." Qin Hai said to everyone.

"Boss Qin is really a man of great cause, and his vision is much wider than that of us country bumpkins."

"Yes, yes, we are all frogs at the bottom of a well. We only know how to plan food at home, why didn't we think of going abroad to develop?"

"Don't tell me, I really want to go abroad, but I don't know the place where I live, and we are a small business. Who can know us when we go out? Mr. Qin proposed that everyone go to sea together. This idea is really wise. .”

"..."

The bosses of the business talked to each other, and they agreed with Qin Hai's plan inside and outside the words. A verbal election has also begun. Liu Shuda, Cai Xuzhou and others have all become the leaders of the alliance nominated by the bosses. Of course, the final result needs to be formally voted.

"President Qin, we will seriously discuss your suggestion when we go back and come up with a feasible plan. Then you have to give us some pointers." Although Liu Shuda didn't take up the post, he was already thinking with the mentality of the leader of the alliance problem.

"No problem, I will help you find some experienced foreign trade personnel to help you." Qin Hai promised.

The business owners surrounded Qin Hai and chatted about other things before leaving in twos and threes. Qin Hai turned back, only to find that Ji Mingchu, Wang Hongsheng, and Ning Zhongying were sitting at a table not far away, chatting with each other with a smile on their faces. See what is lively. Beside them, Qin Hai's father, Qin Minghua, was still sitting, but his expression was not so natural, and he seemed a little reserved.

"Mr. Ji, Director Wang, Director Ning, what are you talking about?" Qin Hai leaned forward and asked respectfully. As Qin Hai's career grew bigger and bigger, there were fewer and fewer people who could boss him around in front of him, and these three were the only ones left who could teach him a lesson from time to time.

"We're talking about you." Ji Mingchu said with a smile.

"What did I do wrong again, please criticize the leaders." Qin Hai scratched his scalp and said.

"We just said that even the chief is concerned about your marriage. Do you have to hurry up and get things done so that Director Ning won't worry about it?" Ji Mingchu said bluntly.

"I didn't make any murmurs, but Lao Qin and his wife were eager to hug their grandson, so how many times have they talked about it in front of me." Ning Zhongying pointed to Qin Minghua and said.

Qin Minghua was not as big as Ning Zhongying. Facing Ji Mingchu and Wang Hongsheng, he was still very timid and didn't dare to make mistakes. Just now the three of them chatted very lively, and Qin Minghua just laughed along with him and hardly interrupted. Now that Ning Zhongying pointed the words at him, he waved his hands again and again and said, "I'm so anxious... I think Xiaojing is also twenty-six or seventeen years old, Xiaohai, you can't delay her."

Hearing that everyone was discussing this matter, Qin Hai blushed a little. He peeked at Wang Hongsheng, and saw that Wang Hongsheng had some complicated expressions on his face, but he didn't show it too much. At such a time, it was inconvenient for Qin Hai to talk about other things, so he could only reply in a dull tone: "Don't worry about this matter... The main reason is that Xiao Jing is still working on her doctoral dissertation. We discussed it. When she gets her doctorate After you get your degree, think about it again."

"When will we have to wait?" Ji Mingchu asked with his eyes wide open, "I heard that some students are already in their thirties when they get their Ph.

"That's not possible." Qin Haidao, "If all goes well, Xiaojing's doctoral defense should be completed this year. She is now a well-deserved authority on iron-based superconductivity. It is not necessary to write a doctoral thesis. any questions."

"That's good, I can wait for the wedding wine." Ji Mingchu said cheerfully.

"When the time comes, I will definitely send you an invitation to Mr. Ji." Ning Zhongying and Qin Minghua responded almost in unison.

While saying this, Qin Hai had already arrived at the table where they were sitting. He sat down beside Wang Hongsheng, and said cautiously: "Director Wang, when the time comes, I have to invite you to come and honor me."

Wang Hongsheng looked at Qin Hai, sighed softly, and said, "I will try my best, if the work is not so busy."

How could Wang Hongsheng not know about Wang Zheyi's vague affection for Qin Hai. But fate made people, Wang Zheyi couldn't get together with Qin Hai after all, as a father, Wang Hongsheng was a little annoyed. However, this matter cannot be blamed on Qin Hai, and Wang Hongsheng can't say anything. He can only hope that his daughter will meet a suitable person in the future and entrust her to her for life. As for saying that he would come to drink Qin Hai and Tranquility's wedding wine, Wang Hongsheng could only say yes, but in fact he would not attend, so there was no need to delve into the reason.

The disguised forced marriage of Ji Mingchu, Ning Zhongying and others reminded Qin Hai. Tranquility's doctoral dissertation has been finished, and she is about to defend her. During her defense, Qin Hai should go to the capital to accompany her.
