Kuigu City, Shanbei Province, North Chemical Machinery Factory.

The crown car carried Feng Xiaochen and his entourage, drove into the factory gate, and drove straight to the factory office building. As soon as the car stopped, Ru Yanqing, the director of the office, trotted forward and opened the rear door, and then, Zhao Yadong, the director of the factory, also came over, stretched out his hand with a smile, and shook hands with Feng Xiaochen who got off the car:

"Assistant Feng, welcome, welcome! Come and make our small factory flourish!"

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Haha, Director Zhao said with a smile, who doesn't know that Beihua Machinery is a leading enterprise in our country's chemical industry, if your Beihua Machinery is a small factory, then our equipment company can only be regarded as a leather bag company." Before we set off this time, Mr. Luo specially explained, let me say hello to Director Zhao for him, and asked us to learn from Director Zhao seriously, Director Zhao can't hide his secrets. ”

"Thank you Mr. Luo for your concern. I don't dare to study anything, your assistant Feng is a graduate student of the National Academy of Social Sciences, Professor Shen's high feet, and our cadres and workers in the whole factory are waiting for Assistant Feng to guide us in our work. ”

"Director Zhao, this is to remind me to respect your doctor of the Party School, right? My master's degree is really not enough in front of Director Zhao. ”

"It's embarrassing to say it, what kind of doctor am I, it's just to join in the fun, mixed up a diploma, don't hide it from Assistant Feng, I even asked a few pens in the office to help write my doctoral dissertation......"

The two of them complimented each other, and in the blink of an eye, they said a lot of nonsense. Zhao Yadong is in his 40s this year, and he can be regarded as a young cadre in the system. In recent years, the promotion and appointment of cadres have paid attention to academic qualifications, and Zhao Yadong was not exempt from vulgarity, and found a party school to study for a doctorate, but he himself knew the quality of the diploma. In front of others, he may still be able to brag, but in front of Feng Xiaochen, a master of the Academy of Social Sciences, he doesn't dare to brag blindly, because before Feng Xiaochen's professional ability, there are few people in the industrial circle who can match.

After greeting each other, Zhao Yadong said hello to Zhou Mengshi and Huang Ming, who were with Feng Xiaochen, and then the group walked to the factory building. Zhao Yadong and Feng Xiaochen walked side by side in the front, and asked in a low voice as they walked:

To be honest, our factory is almost out of the pot now, and all the cadres and workers of our factory are looking forward to the stars and the moon, just waiting for a superior leader like you to arrange business for us. ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "Haha, Director Zhao, what kind of superior leader am I? At best, I am just a microphone for the superior leader." However, there is one project, but I don't know if Director Zhao is interested. ”

"Of course I'm interested!" Zhao Yadong said without hesitation, "At this time, who dares to pick business? As far as the enterprises in our system are concerned, two or three of them have completely stopped production, and the rest are like our Beihua Machine, which has a little work to do, but it is seriously under-started." It's nice to be able to barely break even, and if you're not careful, you're going to lose money. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it in the conference room, this project has a lot of funds, but the technical requirements are also very high. ”

"I'm not afraid of pressure, didn't I often say in the past, people are light-hearted without pressure......"

"Haha, that's for the best. ”

As they spoke, they arrived at the door of the conference room. Zhao Yadong stretched out his hand to give way, Feng Xiaochen was willing to go in first, pushed Zhao Yadong with his hand, let him walk in front, and followed him into the conference room. Subsequently, others also accompanied Zhou Mengshi and Huang Ming to come in, the guests and hosts sat down separately, and the waiter had already brought tea and hot towels, which was the style of the state-owned factory.

Before the start of the meeting, it is customary for the guests and hosts to introduce themselves to each other. Huang Tianshu, deputy director of the factory, Jiang Xianyu, director of the technical department, Xu Zhenxin, director of the production department, and others who participated in the talks here were actually seen by Feng Xiaochen. Over the years, Feng Xiaochen has inspected and visited everywhere, and he has basically visited many equipment manufacturing enterprises of a slight scale in China, and Beihua Machinery is no exception. However, it has been more than two years since he last visited Beihuaji, and some people really can't remember if Zhao Yadong doesn't introduce him.

For Feng Xiaochen, the assistant general manager of the National Equipment Industry Corporation, the cadres of Beihua Machinery are very familiar. Eight years ago, because of the quality problem when Beihua Machinery subcontracted large fertilizer equipment, Feng Xiaochen was entrusted by the Heavy Equipment Office to deal with it, and sent Cheng Yuanding, the director of the factory at that time, to prison. Zhao Yadong was transferred to Beihua Machinery to be the factory director after this, and some of Huang Tianshu and others were transferred from outside, and some were lower-level cadres at that time, who were gradually promoted through seniority. Everyone more or less knew about the incident back then, and they also had a little bit of awe for Feng Xiaochen.

"Since everyone is an acquaintance, I'll get straight to the point. Section Chief Zhou and Section Chief Huang and I came to Beihua Machinery this time to ask for your help. The 600,000-ton ethylene project built by our country is currently undergoing intensive design, and it is expected to break ground early next year. The investment of 7 billion yuan in this project will definitely not be able to be taken by individual enterprises alone, and we hope that leading chemical system enterprises such as Beihua Machinery can participate in it and share some pressure for us. ”

Feng Xiaochen explained his intention in a calm tone.

"Invest 7 billion, my good man! Assistant Feng, how much can we get from the Beihua Machine?" Huang Tianshu couldn't help but ask. If you haven't experienced the pain of under-operation, you won't know the preciousness of business. A 7 billion project is placed in front of you, and if you leak a little bit of it, it will be enough for the Beihua machine to be fed and clothed.

After all, Zhao Yadong is the director of the factory, not as rash as Huang Tianshu, he asked calmly: "Assistant Feng, big ethylene should be the business of the petroleum system, how can we let the enterprises of the chemical system participate?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "Director Zhao, where are there any petroleum systems and chemical systems now, aren't we all enterprises in the market? Of course, in this project, several large enterprises in the original petroleum system must be the main pillars, such as the Northeast Plant, the Northwest Plant, and the Pujiang Plant in the petroleum machinery industry, all of which are the main forces undertaking this project. However, our country has not engaged in such a large petrochemical project in the past, and the strength of these companies is not enough to complete the entire project, so we hope to invite some large enterprises in the chemical system to participate. ”

"No problem, we obey the arrangement of the state, and we will definitely send elite troops to complete this task in the future. Zhao Yadong said impassionedly.

"Assistant Feng, can I ask what are the specific arrangements for us?" asked Xu Zhenxin, he is the director of production, and thinking about problems is naturally from the perspective of production.

Feng Xiaochen gestured to Huang Ming, Huang Ming opened the briefcase, took out a stack of drawings, and pushed it down the desktop to Xu Zhenxin. Xu Zhenxin thanked him, took the drawings and began to check them, and Jiang Xianyu, the technical director who was sitting next to him, also leaned his head over and followed him to look at it. Looking at it, the brows of both of them furrowed.

"What, is it difficult?" Zhao Yadong noticed the performance of the two and asked with a calm face.

"It's not easy. Jiang Xianyu responded.

Zhao Yadong said in a long voice: "Lao Xu, look at what you said, if there is no difficulty, Assistant Feng and they have traveled thousands of miles to come to our Beihua machine? ”

Xu Zhenxin pushed the drawings in front of Zhao Yadong and said with a bitter face: "Director Zhao, this is not a matter of finding a way to overcome difficulties, but we can't do it at all." You see, Assistant Feng, the business they want us to undertake includes more than a dozen extra-large pressure vessels. For example, this 1500 cubic meter spherical tank is 14 meters high when erected, and our container workshop can't put it down at all, let alone do processing. In addition, the pressure-resistant shell of this reactor needs to be molded with a large hydraulic press, and we can't do it without such a high-pressure die forging machine. ”

"Well, that's a bit of a hassle. Zhao Yadong nodded, then turned his face to Feng Xiaochen and said, "Assistant Feng, you see, this is our practical difficulty. Our container workshop was built in the early 80s, and we didn't think about building such a large container at that time. We have been planning to build a new container workshop, but the current business situation of our factory is really more than enough......"

Looking at the pretentiousness of this monarch and minister, Feng Xiaochen laughed in his heart. The 600,000-ton ethylene project is no secret at all, and there have been hundreds of seminars in the early stage. Zhao Yadong put on a look of thinking wholeheartedly for the sake of the country, and asked his subordinates to raise difficulties, in fact, he acted in a double reed for Feng Xiaochen and them to see. For such a large project, the state must have a variety of supporting technical transformation funds to support, the cadres of Beihua Machinery are obviously eyeing these technical transformation funds, and want to take the opportunity of the project to let the state invest in the transformation of the workshop for them, and add some equipment. In the past, things like this were common, and the more important the project, the easier it was to get benefits from the state, and the people in the company were proficient in this.

"Director Zhao, Director Xu, you don't have to worry. Feng Xiaochen spoke, "The original intention of the state to engage in the construction of major projects is to form our own production capacity through projects. 1500 cubic meters spherical tank, we have not engaged in the past, including several large enterprises in the oil system, do not have such a large workshop, so the construction of a new workshop is a must, to build a new workshop, in the future we can make other equipment can also be used. ”

"Really?" Zhao Yadong was happy, "So, did Assistant Feng support us to build a new container workshop? In terms of funds, is it an investment in ethylene, or a special fund from the state?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Director Zhao, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." The workshop must be built, but it is not built in Beihuaji, which is what I want to discuss with you this time......"
