Chapter 255: Take the First Step
The nitrate plant includes five main items: ammonia oxidation section, alkali absorption section, post-treatment section, soda ash warehouse and finished product warehouse. Geng Zhiyuan arranged Li Xi to be in charge of the ammonia oxidation section, Mu Xiaoyue to be in charge of the alkali absorption section, Gong Qiang to be in charge of the post-treatment section, and Bi Xia to be in charge of the alkali warehouse and finished product warehouse.
Mu Xiaoyue and others had never been in contact with the nitrate project before, so Geng Zhiyuan had to first design the flow chart, equipment layout diagram and equipment table, and then put forward the conditions again, and then handed them over to the young people to complete the follow-up piping and secondary conditions.
It was already the end of May in the busy situation, and under the operation of Lin Chu and Chen Jian, Donghai Chuying Chemical Co., Ltd. was finally officially established. After the establishment of the company, while discussing land acquisition with Liangcheng Chemical Industry Park, it began to contact the county fertilizer factory to discuss the purchase of second-hand equipment for 30,000 tons of medium-pressure nitric acid plant.
The procedure for acquiring second-hand equipment from state-owned enterprises is complicated, and it is not possible to negotiate it for a while, and even if an agreement is signed after negotiation, the work will not progress much faster with the efficiency of state-owned enterprises.
As Chuyuan's first project to enter the chemical industry, Geng Zhiyuan is not in a hurry. Anyway, Chen Jian, Liu Jun and Liu Liqing, three experts in the nitric acid industry, are worried about him, and he just needs to make up his mind in the end.
On Children's Day on June 1, Geng Zhiyuan rushed to Liangcheng Chemical Industry Park on Lin Chu's Daben. After meeting Chen Jian, Liu Jun and others at the entrance of the park, several cars came to the D11 plot to be purchased.
Chen Jian pointed around and introduced: "Mr. Geng, Mr. Lin, this piece of land is about a rectangle, about 370 meters long, about 311 meters wide, the whole land area is about 172 acres, 42,000 per mu, and the total price is about 7.2 million. ”
Lin Chu had no engineering experience, so he just followed Geng Zhiyuan here to see the excitement. Geng Zhiyuan looked around, the west side of the target plot is the Liangcheng Fertilizer Factory, the south side is a private fine chemical enterprise, and the east and north sides are all large areas of saline-alkali land.
"Yes, it's a good place!" Geng Zhiyuan nodded, "The fertilizer factory has synthetic ammonia, and we can buy ammonia from them." If we grow fast, we can buy more land to the east and north, and this is a good place to be. ”
Chen Jian saw Geng Zhiyuan nodding, knowing that his efforts were not in vain, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Geng, in this case, I will sign this land with the park management committee?"
"Yes, sign it. "Geng Zhiyuan made decisive decisions in the event of an accident, and he would never drag his feet in the mud. He asked again, "How did you talk with the county fertilizer factory?"
Chen Jian said with a difficult face: "The county fertilizer plant is now managed by a working group dispatched by the county, and they are unwilling to reduce the price, and they insist on 9.6 million yuan. I've talked to them five or six times, but nothing has progressed. ”
Geng Zhiyuan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, continue to talk, it's the county that is in a hurry now." I've heard that the workers in the factory have gathered several times, and that the workers who don't have money don't give up. ”
Chen Jian was secretly surprised, Geng Zhi was hundreds of miles away from the county fertilizer factory, how could he know everything that happened here clearly, could it be that he had clairvoyance and ears?
"How are the company's finances?" Geng Zhiyuan asked Lin Chu again.
Lin Chu said with a smile: "The 20 million principal hasn't been touched much, and more than 7 million yuan have been removed from the land purchase, and there are still more than 10 million that can be used." We are also ready to take a loan of more than 20 million yuan for this project, so the company's finances are quite abundant at present. ”
"That's good!" Geng Zhiyuan sighed: "After starting construction, the money is like flowing water, and the loan must be done, otherwise the more places to spend money in the future, and 20 million yuan is not enough for turnover." Once you run out of money and want to find it now, it will be difficult to stop the construction progress."
Lin Chu said: "I understand, don't worry, I won't have a problem with applying for a loan." ”
Chen Jian was listening to the staggering words, obediently! 20 million yuan is not enough, if according to his original idea, the three or four million raised funds will only be enough to buy a piece of land of 100 acres, and the money to buy equipment and construction costs will only be anxious and vain.
"After the factory is built, I plan to cooperate with the School of Chemical Engineering of Donghai University of Technology to build a technology research and development center. Geng Zhiyuan inspected the land under his feet and said: "The nitric acid project is only the first step for us to enter the chemical industry, and then we will take a high-tech road." We must not follow the old road of building large-scale basic chemical plants with large state-owned chemical enterprises, but still build new projects of fine chemicals with high added value. ”
"So......" he glanced at Jian Chen and said, "I'm afraid it won't take long to have one hundred and seventy acres of land, and our prospects are broad." ”
Jian Chen had his own little Jiujiu in his heart, so he just smiled slightly. Liu Liqing and Liu Jun have tied their fate to Geng Zhiyuan, so they flattered and said: "Geng always sees far!"
Geng Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the three of them, and said thoughtfully: "I'm just talking about prospects, and if you want to realize it, you have to work together!"
After seeing the venue and having a simple lunch, Lin Chu and Geng Zhiyuan got on the Mercedes-Benz S600 and returned to the provincial capital. The Mercedes-Benz was wide and comfortable, and Geng Zhiyuan stretched out his legs and leaned on the seat to close his eyes and think about things.
Lin Chu said quietly: "Zhiyuan, why do I look at Jian Chen as if he is not of the same heart as you." ”
Geng Zhiyuan opened his eyes and glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Partners, it's normal for each to have their own thoughts. ”
Lin Chuwan smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to really have the strength, it seems that you have also been trained to be a leader in the past few years, and you have a little bit of leadership." ”
Geng Zhiyuan smiled and said noncommittally, Lin Chu said again: "I don't understand, since you are going to take a high-end path, why do you want to cooperate with Jian Chen to get any nitric acid?
Geng Zhiyuan knew that she didn't know much about chemical production, and patiently explained: "Industry production needs a professional team, whether it is management or technology. It's not impossible for us to do it ourselves, but we need to gather all kinds of professional talents, and we have to grind them into a whole, which is very time-consuming and laborious. Chen Jian has a group of ready-made professional and technical teams, and I want to treat them as hens, chickens and eggs, and they can provide us with a steady stream of professionals in the future. ”
"You always think far ahead. Lin Chu said with admiration: "Jian Chen is now the general manager, and the professional team is headed by him, aren't you afraid that he will have other intentions after a long time?"
Geng Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "Cooperation must be treated with sincerity, and we will talk about it later." ”
Lin Chu didn't believe it, Geng Zhiyuan has always taken precautions, otherwise why would Liu Jun be arranged into the management of Chuying Company, he is a genuine Geng Zhiyuan.
With Geng Zhiyuan's instructions, Chen Jian patiently negotiated with the county fertilizer working group. Chuying's company is eyeing the 30,000-ton medium-pressure nitric acid plant of the fertilizer plant, and two other companies want to acquire the synthetic ammonia plant and the urea plant respectively.
It didn't take long for the working group to suddenly put forward a requirement that the second-hand nitric acid equipment could be reduced to 8.6 million, and the premise was that Chuying Company must hire all employees in the original nitric acid workshop and not be dismissed within five years.
The quality of the original workers of the fertilizer factory is uneven, and if they are all accepted, they may not recruit some people with ulterior motives and bring some bad habits into Chuying's company.
However, if you don't agree to this condition, you don't even think about the acquisition. Geng Zhiyuan thought about it again and again, and finally reluctantly nodded in agreement.
At the end of June, Chuying Company signed an agreement with the county fertilizer plant to purchase a complete set of equipment for medium-pressure nitric acid at a price of 8.6 million yuan, and at the same time employed all the old employees of the nitric acid workshop.
The land for construction and equipment have been settled one after another, and the project approval and approval of the construction project have begun to enter the preparatory stage. Yuanwei Engineering Company did not yet have consulting qualifications, Geng Zhiyuan secretly arranged for Chen Jian to contact Yu Qinghe, and handed over the task of compiling the "Feasibility Study Report" to the Third Branch of the Provincial Academy.
After Liang Guangyuan learned the news, he specially called Chen Jian, and after greeting him, he proposed that he intended to undertake the follow-up design work of the nitric acid project. Where did Chen Jian dare to make his own assertions, and said with a haha: "Liang Gong, the project has just entered the preliminary preparations, and the construction drawings don't know if they can be carried out this year, so let's talk about the design when the time comes." ”
Liang Guangyuan was willing to miss such a good opportunity to contract the project, and told him repeatedly: "Director Chen, we are old friends, and you must take care of our branch when the time comes." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Chen Jian agreed, but said in his heart: "I don't count it, Mr. Geng doesn't let him reveal his relationship with the company, I heard that Lao Liang and Mr. Geng have a bit of a dirty quarrel, he wants to wrestle with Mr. Geng, this time I'm afraid I'm going to kick the iron plate." ”
Ningxi Chemical Industry with an annual output of 50,000 tons of nitrate project has also entered the final stage, Mu Xiaoyue and other designers are in full swing to work overtime to catch up with the progress, Geng Zhiyuan timely took out a sum of money as overtime pay to send down, which immediately stimulated the enthusiasm of young people to work, often working overtime until 11 or 2 o'clock in the middle of the night before reluctantly leaving the company.
After the establishment of Yuanwei Engineering Company, there has never been such a lively scene, Yue Weiben saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and specially told the office to do a good job in the logistics support of overtime personnel. Geng Zhiyuan, as the design manager, naturally had to accompany everyone to work overtime, and after getting off work late at night, he also drove Mu Xiaoyue, Li Xi, Bi Xia and other girls to the door one by one.
At the beginning of July, a big news broke out in Ningcheng Pressure Vessel Factory, the workers in the factory were instigated by people with good intentions to make trouble, and insisted on driving out the management of the acquiring company, and the enterprise was changed to the workers themselves to have the final say.
Half a month later, the city television station suddenly received instructions to send a column team to track the movements of the workers of the pressure vessel factory, investigate and expose the truth behind the incident.
Su Qing was appointed as the person in charge of the show by the station, and rushed to the pressure vessel factory again with the camera and assistant.
When she came to the factory for an interview last year, Su Qing got acquainted with many old workers, and when she came to the pressure vessel factory again, she was familiar with the road and first found the workers she knew to find out the news. After a round of interviews, Su Qing gradually figured out some flavors, and her heart immediately pinched.
