Chapter 404: Direction
Now that the strategic steps have been decided.
Then the next practical operation depends on Chen Ying.
The bottom line given by Zhang Xiaofan is.
It must be the top 20 enterprises in the domestic raw material industry.
There are problems in capital turnover, the research and development capabilities are not weak, and Zhimei New Materials occupies at least 51% of the shares, and the leaders are determined to forge ahead.
Zhang Xiaofan does not have the heart to manage such an enterprise, and Zhimei New Materials will not send personnel to manage it, at most it will only dispatch finance.
Therefore, it is very important to choose a good leader, and Zhang Xiaofan would rather send more money to buy shares, so that there can be a lot less trouble.
In many cases, it is not the raw material manufacturer's formula that is not good, but the environmental impact of the market.
Take polyester as far as it is concerned.
The reaction time of a polyester reactor and a batch must be controlled very reasonably.
In 0203, the polyester reaction time was about forty hours at that time.
Then now many polyester manufacturers, the reaction time has been shortened to 12 hours.
The time of the polymerization reaction is too short, thus making the polymerization reaction incomplete.
This leads to the fact that after the whole product comes out, there are very many components in the short chain, very few components in the long chain, and there are many by-products.
Such a product may react quickly, but whether it is adhesion, surface leveling or gloss, it is relatively poor.
The powder coating market is getting bigger and bigger, making it easy for polyesters to be in short supply.
Therefore, many specific manufacturers add catalysts to shorten the reaction time, and the quality of such products is naturally not much better.
Zhang Xiaofan was unable to provide a formula.
Although it is only an upstream industry, this formula will not be understood or contacted by ordinary powder coating technicians.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaofan's requirement is that the reaction time must be sufficient.
If you have a formula, you can choose to buy it, or you can choose to develop it yourself.
Such a thing is not something that can be resolved in a month or two, it takes a long negotiation.
So Zhang Xiaofan simply became the shopkeeper, after all, this kind of thing is not what he is good at, so don't get in the way.
It's just that he didn't expect that the next day, Chen Ying handed Zhang Xiaofan a piece of information.
"This polyester business, because their boss has taken money away and invested it in real estate.
Therefore, the entire R&D progress has basically stagnated, and the business has shrunk very much, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
There is still a more powerful technician in it, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and their boss has just carried a big heel in real estate.
As a result, this is called a serious lack of funds for polyester enterprises, and I am very sure of this enterprise. ”
"That's it!
You try to reach out first and see if they are willing to raise money.
But we have to go at least to 51% or more, and I don't like them as the boss.
Actually, all the funds are withdrawn, you have to think of a way, it would be best if you could buy them all.
The current management of this company should still be good, and it can still maintain this situation when the funds are basically withdrawn.
That should be pretty good on top. ”
Chen Ying nodded with a slight feeling, and he also believed that the current management should be competent.
"I'll arrange it right away"
"It's good for you to decide, and when the results are out, just tell me. ”
Now Zhang Xiaofan's main mind is still on the car topcoat.
I don't know what happened to Xiong Wenbin? I mentioned it to him a little last time.
Zhang Xiaofan hopes to meet the top management of BMW, the kind of senior management who can make decisions.
Zhang Xiaofan did not know which department was the management of the department.
Because it is a car topcoat, and the coatings currently used by BMW are still paint-based, basically no powder coatings are used, and some water-based coatings may be used.
So switching to powder coating is not that simple.
In fact, most likely, it may be the head of the design department, especially when making a concept car, or a prototype car.
At this time, the possibility of using powder coating is actually the largest.
Because there is no need to take any risks, if it is to be converted from oil to powder in an existing series of models.
This is actually less likely.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, as long as it can call the shots, Zhang Xiaofan is willing to contact it.
Doing business, having acquaintances with contact, is the best, especially this kind of business that wants to change the entire process.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't think about going to Germany in person, and now the main and most important problem is that the product is not mature enough.
Although it has been four or five months, the group of people in the technical department still haven't come up with a product that Zhang Xiaofan is very satisfied with.
And recently Zhang Xiaofan found a problem, powder coating has a very big shortcoming.
There is no way to solve this shortcoming, and it is very difficult to patch, which is a big problem.
The air replenishment of oil-based coatings is much simpler than that of powder coatings, and it is also easier to operate.
But the repair of powder coating, there will be a very big problem, you don't use oil paint to repair.
Then the problem is quite serious.
As a car topcoat, bumps and bumps, that is a very common thing, and it will be scraped accidentally, so solving this problem is Zhang Xiaofan's biggest problem at present.
If you wait until 20 years later, the problem is not very big, at that time, the progress of raw materials has been very, very large, and the repair of powder coating has been basically solved.
But now Zhang Xiaofan has to face this very big problem.
And there is another problem, although not very serious, but it still restricts the use of powder coatings in automotive topcoats.
Protective coatings are polished and prone to white haze, which is difficult to repair once it appears.
Without solving these problems, it is difficult to make powder coatings have great application prospects on automotive topcoats.
But wheels, however, rarely have this problem.
General bumps and scratches are difficult to occur on the wheel.
Therefore, at present, the car wheel is the most special existence of the entire car topcoat.
You basically don't have to think about repairing, because even if you do get a scrape, very few people will repair the marks on the wheels of the car.
In fact, Zhang Xiaofan is also quite worried now.
Raw materials limit your imagination, and at the same time, they limit you, the direction in which you are headed.
Of course, this is just a joke.
But at present, Zhang Xiaofan is indeed facing such a situation, so he is now acquiring upstream raw material enterprises.
It's just so flawless.
Then to capital investment, increase research and development efforts, and complete the mass production of high-quality raw materials as soon as possible.
This should be an issue that needs to be addressed urgently.
