"By the way, how is the patent application going?" asked Xu Ping'an.

This kind of product must be patented, unlike rocket launch technology, if I don't apply for a patent, you can't imitate it, and if there is no patent for a large-scale circulation product, counterfeiters must be all over the world.

"All the applications have been applied, and so far, only some of them have been approved, and some of them have not been approved," Chen Fansheng reported truthfully.

"I'll talk to Wu Sikai about this matter, we must speed up the progress" Xu Ping'an immediately made a decision.

After the three of them communicated for a while, Xu Ping'an left the comprehensive research institute and called Wu Sikai directly in the car, asking Wu Sikai to speed up the approval of the patent at any cost.

Hung up the phone and made another call to Bruce in Germany, the same content, accelerate the progress of global patent applications, don't be afraid to spend money, getting a patent is the most important thing.

Both of them said that they would handle this matter as soon as possible, and Xu Ping'an was a little relieved.

When I got home, I took out the list of raw materials written by Miao Yong and looked at it, there were six kinds of raw materials on it, Xu Ping'an understood what Miao Yong meant, these six raw materials are more critical.

After thinking seriously for a while, "Darena, you go and investigate, see what the companies that produce these six materials have, and make a list for me."

"Okay," Darina took the paper in Xu Ping'an's hand and went to get busy.

The next day, Darina sent Xu Ping'an a document detailing the manufacturers that produced these six materials, and Xu Ping'an began to browse in the office.

After a while, I picked up the phone and started dialing, and after a short time, the phone was connected, "Mr. Xu, you are looking for me" Ji Xueyi's voice appeared.

"Xueyi, you record, investigate these companies, if appropriate, they will be acquired directly, and if there is a large-scale debt and aging production equipment, give up the acquisition" Xu Ping'an said directly.

"Okay, I'll find a pen and paper."

"Mr. Xu, you say, I'll record it," Ji Xueyi said directly.

"Bokai Chemical Group, Kaisley Chemical Co., Ltd., Seiko Chemical Manufacturing Co., Ltd., .................." Xu Ping'an reported eight company names in one breath.

"Just these eight, hurry up and expedite it," Xu Ping'an said directly.

Hearing Xu Ping'an say to expedite the processing, Ji Xueyi understood what was going on, "I'll handle it immediately, and there will be news in ten days at most."

"Okay, I'll wait for your investigation report" Xu Ping'an said directly, and the two hung up the phone after a few polite words.

Ji Xueyi hung up the phone and immediately issued an order to the investigation department, only giving eight days to expedite the processing, and the content must be detailed.

A few days later, Zhang Jianbin flew directly to J City to meet Xu Ping'an, which surprised Xu Ping'an, and chatted with Zhang Jianbin while drinking tea in the office.

"I said, your sense of smell is too sensitive, you just started to investigate the chemical industry, and you will let me buy the chemical companies in your jurisdiction"

"I'll be honest, I really didn't think about it"

"Moreover, the order I gave to Ji Xueyi is not to lose weight if there are many debts, and not to buy those with aging production equipment," Xu Ping'an said straight to the point.

As soon as Ji Xueyi's investigation team moved, it was immediately grasped by someone with a heart, after all, in the early stage of the acquisition of Tianqi Group, Ji Xueyi's investment company must have been allowed to conduct research on some industries.

Now a large-scale investigation of the chemical industry, does Tianqi Group have the intention of acquiring the chemical industry, after all, Super Paint is connected with many chemical companies.

Zhang Jianbin naturally got the news, and after some analysis, he came to the conclusion that Xu Ping'an really wanted to acquire some chemical companies, and it just so happened that there were many problems in the chemical industry here.

Either the pollution is serious, or the business is not good, these enterprises are a heart disease of Zhang Jianbin , each enterprise has a lot of workers, if it can really be acquired by the Apocalypse Group, the city can be regarded as a big problem.

Therefore, Zhang Jianbin came over, did not fly directly to J City, but got off the plane in the provincial capital, and then took the car all the way to Xu Ping'an.

I'm afraid that Wei Dongshuo and Chen Qingshan will cut off their beards after reacting, after all, two of the three major chemical factories in J City have gone bankrupt, and the remaining one has also been invited to move out of the county because of pollution.

There are many chemical enterprises in Y province, most of which are small chemical enterprises, with poor technology, low production capacity, and serious pollution.

If Y Province reacts, it will definitely put pressure on Xu Ping'an, so that Xu Ping'an will give priority to the acquisition of chemical companies in the province, after all, there are many enterprises with provincial national brands.

Directly let the Apocalypse Group acquire it, which can also reduce a big burden.

Zhang Jianbin came over this time, and he only acted after discussing with Qiao Liangqing, Zhang Jianbin was responsible for Xu Ping'an's work, and Qiao Liangqing was responsible for communicating with the superior leaders, a two-pronged approach.

"Ping An, the chemical companies I asked you to buy are all provincial-level state-owned enterprises, and you don't need to be responsible for foreign debts, as long as you solve the problem of workers' employment," Zhang Jianbin waved his hand and said very imposingly.

Xu Ping'an smiled and didn't answer, things here will definitely not be simple, things will definitely not be so simple.

"Brother Zhang, since you have the heart to let me take over, then you have to give me a solid foundation, it's unacceptable to cheat friends," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

"The equipment of these companies is a bit backward, and they don't produce fine chemical products, so you need to train your employees to work."

"I won't hide it from you, the five companies have a lot of employees,.................... Zhang Jianbin said the situation of the five chemical companies.

After hearing the situation, Xu Ping'an shook his head with a smile, and directly refused, "Brother Zhang, it's too troublesome, it's better for me to build a new one than this, you better keep it yourself."

"Say what you need directly" Zhang Jianbin knows very well what Xu Ping'an's temperament is.

Xu Ping'an smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, seriously, these five companies have no value, first, the equipment is not valuable, especially this kind of old-fashioned equipment, the manufacturer can't find it, what is the use of this kind of equipment, it is completely a bottomless pit"

"Second, I analyze a lot of foreign debts, even if you say you won't let me be responsible, I'm sure you can't give me any preferential policies."

"Third, the problem of employees, I analyze that at least half of the employees I can't use, all of them are close to retirement, and the rest are either sick, and there are not a few young and strong."

"I don't run a free nursing home, what can I do with these employees, when something happens at work, it's a work injury, that's to lose money"

"There are so many people, how much do I need to compensate, and who will compensate me for the loss of production of the delayed enterprise"

"Therefore, in order not to hurt the harmony between you and me, let's not talk about this matter, it's good for all of us" Xu Ping'an didn't mention conditions, but directly refused.

Sample, I knew you would say this, you people, just like this, Zhang Jianbin said secretly in his heart.

"I knew you would say that," Zhang Jianbin said as he looked at Xu Ping'an.

Xu Ping'an was stunned, and said in his heart, do you know that I came to me when I said this, am I a bully.

"First, most of the foreign debts of these five companies are from the government, and how to deal with them is our internal problem, and we will not let you be responsible if we say that we don't need you to be responsible."

"Second, the equipment is indeed outdated, but it has not reached the extent you said, and all manufacturers have disappeared, which is a shadowless thing, at most it is the old equipment from 20 years ago."

"Of course, there are also some new devices in recent years."

"Third, we have taken into account the personnel problem, if the age is about to retire, directly handle the internal retirement, and if there is a sick person who cannot work normally, handle the sick retirement, this part of the people are a minority"

"The rest are healthy people, do not delay your production and employment, and these companies recruit new people every year, and they are all high-achieving students with a bachelor's degree."

"These people accept new things quickly, can quickly master advanced equipment, is an intangible asset, completely cheap for you"

"As for the preferential policies" Zhang Jianbin said this, and looked at Xu Ping'an very unhappily.

"Look, do I dare to give you preferential policies equivalent to those of technology companies," Zhang Jianbin said unceremoniously.

Xu Ping'an was really stunned, he could already feel Zhang Jianbin 's determination, his brows furrowed directly, and his mind began to think.

The acquisition of the chemical plant was for the purpose of super engine oil, and the production of super engine oil must have been carried out by the super paint company in J City, and the two places are not close to each other, and the freight cost in the middle is a big problem.

Zhang Jianbin didn't urge Xu Ping'an, picked up the teacup and began to taste tea slowly, Xu Ping'an was very shrewd, it was useless to force him, he had to tell the facts and reason.

After a while, Xu Ping'an looked at Zhang Jianbin and shook his head slowly, the meaning was very simple, he couldn't go to Hangzhou to buy those companies.

Zhang Jianbin directly understood the meaning in Xu Ping'an's eyes, chuckled in his heart, looked at Xu Ping'an and said directly, "Give me a reason".

"Brother Zhang, the acquisition of the chemical plant is to support the Apocalypse Paint Company, Hangzhou is too far away from J City, you calculate, how much freight is needed for transportation"

"If you include the price of freight, the cost increase is really not small"

"I can only apologize" Xu Ping'an arched his hand after speaking, asking Zhang Jianbin to forgive me.

"Is it super paint?" Zhang Jianbin asked quickly.

Xu Ping'an shook his head, Zhang Jianbin keenly grasped the key, his eyes lit up and said, "Does your institute have new achievements?"

"You can go to Hangzhou to build a factory, and directly produce in Hangzhou, and the cost is not a problem at all."

Xu Ping'an was completely stunned, Zhang Jianbin saw Xu Ping'an's expression and affirmed his guess even more, his eyes stared at Xu Ping'an, and he had already made up his mind that he must win this project to Hangzhou.
