Material Empire

Hearing Qin Hai's words, Fu Wenbin was a little astonished, while Qiao Changsheng blushed in embarrassment. In Qiao Changsheng's view, Qin Hai's words seemed very philistine, which was quite different from the image of Qin Hai he had introduced to Fu Wenbin before, giving people a feeling that he was careless in making friends. He wanted to criticize Qin Hai a few words, but he couldn't say anything. Although Qin Hai was young, he was Qiao Changsheng's employer. Qiao Changsheng really had no right to criticize Qin Hai.

Hehe, I'm a straight-talking person, please forgive me, Director Fu. Qin Hai saw what the two of them were thinking, and explained with a smile, I just think it's better to say something clearly in advance, so as to save everyone from having trouble in the future. rift.

Well, I like your straightforward character. If you have anything to say, you can just say it. Fu Wenbin said, in fact, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not, the key is that he must say this so that both parties can come to power. . Qin Hai came with Qiao Changsheng, so Fu Wenbin couldn't just send him away just because of a disagreement, could he?

Qin Haidao: Just now I heard Director Fu introduce to Master Qiao that in order to change the business structure, your farm has engaged in several industrial projects in the past few years, including a cement factory. I would like to know the current situation of this cement factory. how.

Fu Wenbin shook his head and said: The production has been discontinued. The price of coal has risen sharply in the past two years, our technology is not good, and the cost of cement remains high, so we can't sell it at all. The farm has invested more than 100,000 yuan in ball mills. , and cement kilns and so on, in the end even the cost was not recovered.”

What kind of cement do you produce? Qin Hai asked again.

Fu Wenbin was surprised and said, Cement is just cement. What kind of cement is there? It's the cement usually used to build houses.

Oh, I understand. Qin Hai nodded and said. Fu Wenbin can't tell the difference between their cement, which proves that the cement factory produces only very ordinary Portland cement. The technical threshold for producing this type of cement is very low. Most of the small cement factories use this type of cement as their main product, and the cement factory in Qujiang Farm must not be able to do more tricks.

Why, Qin Gong, do you think Director Fu's cement factory has something to do? Qiao Changsheng asked tentatively, hearing the flavor of Qin Hai's words.

Qin Haidao: The thing is very simple. Ordinary Portland cement is mainly to fight for the cost. Whoever has the lowest cost can occupy the market. The cement plant of our Qujiang Farm is estimated to be not that big, and there is no technical know-how. There is definitely no advantage in cost, and being eliminated by the market is an inevitable result.”

You're so right! Fu Wenbin nodded again and again, It's a pity, when we started this cement factory, the leaders of our farms didn't realize this. The door way, I thought someone would want it after burning it.

Large enterprises can engage in large-scale operations and reduce costs. The best choice for small enterprises is to engage in differentiated operations, produce some products that others do not have, and occupy a segmented market. In this regard, our Qujiang Farm's approach is wrong .” Qin Hai concluded.

Can Qin Gong help Factory Manager Fu find some special products? Qiao Changsheng asked eagerly, the implication in Qin Hai's words was already very clear.

Qin Haidao: I'm not sure yet, if Director Fu is interested, I would like to visit your cement factory, is that okay?

Naturally, Fu Wenbin would not refuse such a request. Qin Hai's willingness to diagnose the operation of the cement plant for Qujiang Farm was at least something that was better than nothing.

The three of them took Qin Hai's jeep around a few bends and came to a small factory area on the edge of the farm. A tattered wooden sign was hung on the gate of the factory area, which read Qujiang Cement Factory five years ago. big characters. Although the factory was shut down, the gatekeepers were still there. When they saw a jeep approaching, the guard stepped forward to stop him. When he found that Fu Wenbin was sitting in the passenger seat, the guard greeted him with a smile on his face: Fu Wenbin Captain, good morning.

Old Chen, you're sleepy. It's time for dinner now. Fu Wenbin got off the car and replied with a smile.

Old Chen said with a smile: It's easy to say, I didn't think about the time. Is there something wrong with Mr. Fu?

Fu Wenbin said: I'll bring two experts over to see our factory, you go and find Director Zhao for me.

Okay! Old Chen promised, first opened the factory door for them, let the jeep into the factory, and then trotted all the way to find the factory manager.

The scale of the cement plant is small, but the equipment is readily available. And since it was built late, the device looks relatively new. According to Fu Wenbin, there are now occasional small orders, so the cement plant is not completely shut down, but is in a state of intermittent operation, and the equipment is in good condition, ready to start production at any time.

Cement is an inorganic non-metallic material, and its usage in economic life ranks first among all kinds of non-metallic materials, so Qin Hai also has a lot of research on it. He first carefully observed the condition of the existing equipment, then came to the material yard and began to study various raw materials used in the cement plant.

Pingyuan is a hilly and low-mountain area, rich in various non-metallic minerals. Most of the stones used in Qujiang Cement Plant are locally produced, including limestone, periclase, gypsum, fluorite, etc. Among them, some stones of different types were mixed together. Obviously, the technicians in the factory couldn't tell the difference in composition between these stones.

After Qin Hai observed for a while, he knew the situation of Qujiang Cement Plant by heart.

Director Fu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because today is Sunday, so I'm not in the factory, and I kept you waiting.

The director of the cement factory, Zhao Bing, ran in panting from outside the factory gate, and came to Fu Wenbin, who was accompanying Qin Hai to inspect the material yard, and was doing self-reflection while wiping his sweat. In fact, the cement plant had no production tasks, and it happened to be the weekend, so it was not at fault for Zhao Bing not to stay in the plant. But when the farm leader comes, but you are at home, this is a mistake, and you must first do self-criticism.

Director Zhao, let me introduce you. This is my former colleague at the iron and steel factory, Master Qiao Changsheng. This is Qin Hai Qingong, an expert from Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. Fu Wenbin introduced to Zhao Bing .

Oh, Master Qiao, Qin... Hehe, Qin Gong is very young. When Zhao Bing cast his gaze on Qin Hai, there was clearly a playful expression on his face. He felt that the expert introduced by Fu Wenbin It's ridiculously young.

Director Zhao, you don't have to be polite, just call me Xiao Qin. Qin Hai said flatly, he knew that anyone who saw him would preconceived doubts about his knowledge, and if he wanted to convince others, he had to show something.

Okay, Mr. Qin, Director Zhao has also come now. If you have any ideas, you can talk about them together in front of Director Zhao. You have inspected the situation of our cement factory just now. What's the matter? Do you have any specific ideas? Fu Wenbin said to Qin Hai.

Qin Hai turned to Zhao Bing and said, Director Zhao, I heard from Director Fu that the sales of our cement factory's products are not very good, is that true?

Isn't it? There are at least 20 factories in the whole Beixi City producing the high-end goods like our factory. The quality of their products is better than ours, and the price is lower than ours. How can we compete with others? Zhao Bing replied dejectedly.

So, has Director Zhao ever thought about producing some low-end goods? Qin Hai took Zhao Bing's conversation with a smile.

Small road goods? Zhao Bing was taken aback by Qin Hai's invention of the word, What does Qin Gong refer to?

Cement is not the only type we produce, do you know? Qin Hai asked.

I know, there are different grades of cement, and we produce more than just one grade.

I'm not talking about the label, but the type. To put it simply, the cement produced by our factory is called general-purpose cement. Whether it is ordinary Portland cement, pozzolanic Portland cement, or fly ash Portland cement, all It belongs to General Cement. Has Director Zhao heard of the concept of special cement? Qin Hai began to put on the spectrum of an expert, don't you think I am young and not an expert, then I will teach you a lesson first.

Special cement... Zhao Bing rubbed his head, a little confused. He was originally just a middle-level cadre on the farm. When the farm was about to build a cement factory, he was sent to visit several cement factories in the city, and then he came back to be the director of the cement factory. In his knowledge system, there is only the concept of general-purpose cement, and what kind of special cement Qin Hai is talking about is completely beyond the scope of his knowledge.

Special cement is relative to general-purpose cement, which is mainly cement suitable for specific purposes. For example, the rapid-hardening cement used for engineering rescue can set in one or two hours or even a few minutes and reach a higher Strength, this type of cement can be widely used in joints, leak plugging, road repairs and other fields.” Qin Hai said.

Is there such a cement? Fu Wenbin and Zhao Bing looked at each other. They could understand the uses Qin Hai said at once, and they also thought it made sense, but they never thought that they could produce such a cement. of cement.

Qin Gong, does it require high technology to produce such cement? Zhao Bing asked cautiously.

Qin Hai shook his head and said: I have seen it just now. Based on the existing equipment in our factory, we can produce such cement with a few more equipment. Of course, the formula of cement needs to be considered carefully. In fact, there are many kinds of rapid-hardening cement, including ordinary Portland rapid-hardening cement, sulphoaluminate cement, and fluoroaluminate cement. Various cements are suitable for different occasions, and their costs and prices are also different. .

But...we don't understand these things. Zhao Bing complained, If we had such technology, why would we turn the cement factory into what it is now, making me ashamed to see the director Fu.

Fu Wenbin glared at Zhao Bing, then turned to Qin Hai and said, Qin Gong, do you know the formula of these cements?

Let's understand a little bit. Qin Hai said, If Director Fu is willing to cooperate with me, I can guarantee that the Qujiang Cement Factory will be brought back to life, and at least create a profit of more than 100,000 yuan for the farm a year.

At five o'clock yesterday, the oranges were squeezed until they turned into tangerine peels.

In the evening, I wanted to code another chapter for this morning's release, but my eyelids fought and I couldn't code a single word.

I got up this morning to rush to code words, so the first chapter in the morning was 40 minutes late... I guess you are still in bed, right? ho ho ho ho ho
