Material Empire

Qin Hai's words were just an excuse. The real reason was that he did not intend to provide the knowledge he possessed to these enterprises in Jintang City free of charge.

Qin Hai's technology played an important role in the process of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory undertaking the production of auto parts. On some key technical issues, he can point out a correct direction, which can save technicians from detours and save a lot of manpower, material resources, and precious time.

Today, Jinnan Chemical Factory and other enterprises are facing problems that are very similar to those of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. If no one can provide them with forward-looking guidance and let them explore by themselves, the cost will be very considerable, which is why Yu Kexiu and others dare not speak lightly. But if Qin Hai is willing to take action, these obstacles will not become obstacles, and many technical problems can be easily solved.

The point is, is it necessary for Qin Hai to do this?

In the Qingfeng factory, Qin Hai, as a young worker who just arrived, if he can't show off his unique skills, he will not be able to get the attention of everyone, and it will be difficult to obtain a space for free activities. He solved the technical problems of rotary tillage blades for Qingfeng Factory and the technical problems of auto parts, in exchange for the favor of him from Chai Peide to Ning Zhongying, which is an important foundation for him to fully display his hands and feet now.

Now that his career has been initially launched and the stage has been set, it would be a pity to donate his knowledge for free. He hopes that this knowledge can create greater benefits for himself.

After nearly two weeks of research, the joint meeting of the Jintang Economic Commission and the working group was held in the meeting room of the Economic Commission. A group of business leaders including Yu Kexiu were also notified to come to the meeting and exchange their ideas.

The leaders of the ministry have given us a difficult problem.

At the beginning of the meeting, Yu Kexiu was the first to speak, and he opened his mouth to complain half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Hehe, since when is Lao Yu afraid of difficulties? Wang Song'an also answered half-jokingly, In my impression, you, Lao Yu, have always dared to fight tough battles.

Yu Kexiu shook his head and said: This is different. In the past, we fought tough battles, but they were urgent tasks assigned by the superiors. I just need to lead the workers to work overtime, and I can complete them. But this time, the tasks given to us by the department leaders, We don't know where to start, it's hard to be lost.

Isn't it, Director Yu? Qin Hai said with a smile, We have clearly stated the performance requirements of the materials. As long as you can provide materials that meet the requirements, we will accept them. How can there be no decline? ?”

How can we meet this requirement? Yu Kexiu said, We have never made such materials before, and everything has to be started from scratch. If you spend money to ensure that you can get the results, that's all. The problem is, I asked Yu Huiguo, our technical chief, but he didn't dare to promise me.

I told him: Old Yu, I will give you 1 million, can you get me this material. He said: Factory manager, if it is done well, 100,000 yuan will be enough. You guys tell me, how dare I do this?

That's right, our situation is the same. Liu Jie, the director of another company, echoed, Secretary Qin's request to us is very clear. By the way, it's all here. I'll read it to you: Melting The temperature is not lower than 255 degrees Celsius, the elongation is not less than 2%, the impact strength is not lower than 35 kJ/m, and the ball indentation hardness is not less than 195 MPa... All these indicators are higher than the glass fiber nylon we are now making up a level.

I asked the engineers in the technical department to study it, and they said that these indicators can be achieved in theory, but it costs money and requires experiments. Ask them how much it will cost? They told me two words: no count!

Haha, the engineers in your technical department are trying to blackmail you! Wang Songan said with a smile, How could there be no count?

It's true. They told me that if we want to modify nylon, we need to research what modifier to add. They don't have a clue now, they can only try one kind, maybe even hundreds of kinds. If there is no one that is right, the money will flow out. Liu Jie said.

Without input, how can there be output? Qin Hai smiled and said, Factory directors, don't just talk about the input, you should also mention the conditions given by our localization office? Take polyvinyl chloride as an example, Ordinary polyvinyl chloride is 2900 yuan per ton, and the modified polyvinyl chloride we need can reach 5000 yuan per ton, with a price difference of 2100 yuan in the middle. How much is a little modifier worth? The price difference in the middle is almost It's pure profit, are you not tempted?

Of course I'm tempted! Yu Kexiu said unabashedly, If I wasn't tempted, I wouldn't have come to the meeting today. Who can be tempted if the profit per ton of PVC more than doubles? But, we only It’s useless if you have the heart but without the strength.”

Is this the case for everyone? Wang Songan asked the audience.

It's all the same! All the factory directors replied in unison.

Wang Song'an frowned and said to Qin Hai: Secretary Qin, this is a bit troublesome. You can also see that our enterprises in Jintang City are very enthusiastic about cooperating with the superiors. But the difficulties we face are also What exists objectively is the technical obstacle, which we cannot overcome for a while.”

If there are no technical obstacles, why should we come to Jintang? Lu Xiaolin interrupted, You may not know about the Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory in Anhe Province, so let me give you a brief introduction...

Next, she explained everything about the Qingfeng factory, especially Ning Zhongying's decision to kill and the deputy mayor Chai Peide's strong support for the Qingfeng factory. After Wang Song'an and others listened, they looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say. The example given by Lu Xiaolin made it very clear. If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cubs? A small company like Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory dares to invest millions in research and development. There are so many companies in Jintang. Such courage?

Yu Kexiu was the first to break the silence. He said to Wang Song'an: Director Wang, our factory is determined to give it a try, but the research funds needed may require special approval from the economic committee. We made preliminary calculations, and the preliminary research I am afraid that the investment will cost about 1 million yuan, can the economic committee give us this amount of funds?

After several years of reform, enterprises have much greater autonomy than in the past, but when it comes to the use of large sums of money, enterprises still need permission from higher authorities. A research fund of 1 million is considered a large amount for Jinnan Chemical Factory. Even if Yu Kexiu is determined to invest, he must obtain the approval of the economic committee.

When Yu Kexiu made this request, he actually kicked the ball to Wang Songan. Once Wang Songan nodded and agreed, then if the expected results cannot be achieved in the future, the fault of blind investment will be borne by Wang Songan. Wang Songan is not a fool, how could he bear this risk for Yu Kexiu, he immediately played Tai Chi and said:

With such a large amount, our economic committee can't approve it with a pat on the head. How sure are you of doing this research on modified resins? You need to submit a detailed report. If the money is spent in the future, the results will change. If it doesn’t come out, relevant leaders must be responsible. After all, this is the country’s money, and we have to be responsible to the country.”

Since this is the case...then we may have to study it further. Yu Kexiu immediately shrank her head.

What do the other factories mean? Wang Songan asked again.

The factory directors exchanged glances with each other, but no one said anything. Yu Kexiu's request is actually the request of all of them. Since Wang Song'an is unwilling to bear this responsibility for them, why should they bear it themselves?

The philosophy of the leaders of state-owned enterprises is not to seek meritorious service, but to seek no faults. If you come up with something ingenious and innovative, if you succeed, you will only get a compliment, which is not very interesting; and if you fail, your superiors will hold you accountable, and you may lose your hat. Now everyone's business has some profits, and the small life is very nourishing. Who is willing to take this kind of risk?

Isn't Wang Song'an's philosophy like this? As the director of the economic committee, he has done a good job. After a long time, he can be promoted to a higher level and become a deputy mayor or something. If something happens with the young people in the Laoshizi working group and something happens that affects his career development, he will suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, Wang Song'an turned his head and said to Qin Hai and Lu Xiaolin: Secretary Lu, Secretary Qin, you have all seen it too. The overall scale of our chemical industry in Jintang is not bad, but the technical level is limited, I am afraid it cannot afford it. The task you delivered. Can you go to some big companies in Pujiang, they have strong technical strength, and it is easy to do some research and development.

Qin Haidao: Large enterprises in Pujiang have a large production scale, and it is more difficult to switch to new products. In addition, the state also hopes that the entire automobile industry can have a more reasonable layout, and do not confine all industries to a few large cities. That's why we came to Jintang to seek cooperation.

Jintang's chemical industry is not too big, let alone strong. If it can't seize the opportunity to upgrade its products, it may face the risk of being eliminated in the future.

Of course we hope to improve our product quality, but we lack research and development strength, and everyone is worried that we will get no results after investing money. We would be very interested if we can bring some more mature technologies. Wang Song'an said.

Qin Hai had been waiting for Wang Song'an's words for a long time. He took over the conversation with a smile and said, Director Wang, your idea is not bad. However, if the technology is developed by others, I'm afraid Jintang cannot It is used for free, but some costs need to be paid, I don’t know if everyone can accept it.”

If the cost is reasonable, of course we can accept it. Yu Kexiu replied on behalf of Wang Song'an.
