Chapter 1083: The Old Men Gather
Yan Hong found out that he was the squadron leader of the traffic police brigade of the Western Suburbs Branch, and when Bao Guoqiang went to work in Northwest Province, he also asked Yan Hongfa's opinion and asked him if he wanted to go to Northwest Province with him, if Yan Hongfa wanted to go, Bao Guoqiang would definitely take him. However, Yan Hongfa's situation was more difficult at that time, on the one hand, he wanted to follow Bao Guoqiang to Northwest Province to develop, after all, he had been by Bao Guoqiang's side for a long time, and he was used to it in all aspects, and Bao Guoqiang would not treat him badly if he followed Bao Guoqiang to Northwest Province to develop. On the other hand, Yan Hongfa has also married and has children, as a driver, he does not have a huge space for development like Zhou Shugang, so at that time, Bao Guoqiang also suggested that he stay out of consideration for Yan Hongfa, and finally Yan Hongfa stayed, and was arranged to serve as a deputy squadron leader in the Traffic Police Brigade of the Western Suburbs Branch of the Zhongtian Public Security Bureau.
Seeing that his old friends were developing well, Bao Feiyang was also happy for Yan Hongfa from the bottom of his heart.
Over there, Mei Lifeng had already stood up and announced the start of the banquet. Originally, according to Mei Lifeng's meaning, he didn't want to make a big deal, just notify a few close friends to come over, but he didn't expect that his colleagues and subordinates came to make several big tables when they heard the news.
After the banquet began, Mei Lifeng briefly introduced Bao Feiyang to the guests at the main table, only saying that he was the nephew of his old leader, and did not say anything else. When Bao Guoqiang served in Zhongtian City, he had strict requirements for his family, and Bao Feiyang was still alive at that time, except for the time when he overthrew his loyal uncle and saved him, he was very low-key at other times, and after graduating from college, he went to work in the northwest, and few of the guests here knew him.
After the noon banquet was over, Mei Lifeng and Yan Hongfa originally wanted to invite Bao Feiyang to drink tea, but Bao Feiyang politely refused: "No, I still have to meet a Tong, let's see it in the evening, right?"
It is rare to go back to Zhongtian once, and Bao Feiyang also wants to get together more with Mei Lifeng, Yan Hongfa and others, but he came back this time. The stay will not be long, after all, there are many things waiting for him to deal with every day in the Lingang Economic Development Zone, so he has arranged a day of personal time for himself, starting tomorrow. He's going to a silicate workshop. Although Bao Feiyang has more than ten years of professional knowledge ahead of this era, he has successively specialized in the field of silicates, and Bao Feiyang believes that he still needs to learn a lot of things. If he simply follows the line of administrative bureaucracy, it doesn't matter whether he masters these things or not. But after all, he still has his current position in the Huaxia Science and Technology Commission, and he still needs to deal with many technical things. Therefore, he must attend this national symposium on silicate.
According to Bao Feiyang's arrangement, in addition to attending Mei Lifeng's full moon banquet today, he also has to visit a Datong. His Datong name is Xie Zhigang, and he is a very good friend of Bao Feiyang when he was in college, and after Xie Zhigang graduated, he was assigned to Zhongtian Cement Factory. At that time, the domestic economic growth was relatively fast, the scale of infrastructure investment was very large, and the demand for cement and other building materials was strong.
However, in order to control the overheating of the economy, the state has since cut the scale of infrastructure investment. The impact on the cement and other building materials industries is obvious, and after the regulation and control have been effective, the domestic economic growth has slowed down, and the increased production capacity during the overheating period is difficult to digest. In recent years, the total supply of the domestic cement market is basically oversupply, and the production capacity utilization rate of cement manufacturers is less than 80 per half.
Zhongtian Cement Plant is also greatly affected by this, especially the development policy a few days ago is more radical, and the production capacity has been expanded on a large scale, and now it cannot be sold. However, it has to bear the principal and interest of the loan when the production capacity is expanded, and the development of the enterprise is in a dilemma.
Xie Zhigang as a graduate of Zhongtian Industrial Porte, after graduation into Zhongtian Cement Plant, engaged in production and research and development, when the efficiency of Zhongtian Cement Plant is good, the production and research and development department has also received strong support, but when the efficiency of the cement plant is not good, the R & D department will be sad to see the benefits for the time being.
Xie Zhigang was originally researching a kind of high-strength fast-hardening cement, and has made relatively great progress, but the leaders of the cement plant believe that the market sales of fast-hardening cement as a kind of special cement are not large, and it is not worth investing resources in development, so the project led by Xie Zhigang has become the first batch of R&D projects cut by the cement plant, and Xie Zhigang himself has also been idle, becoming an idler without R&D tasks in the production and development department.
Xie Zhigang was also a tyrant type of character back then, full of enthusiasm, and after graduation work, he also held the ideal ambition of giving full play to his talent to serve the country, and he was about to achieve results, but because of the business efficiency, the project could not be continued, of course he was very unwilling, and he operated around, hoping to continue the project.
Xie Zhigang believes that the current inventory in the domestic cement market is high, and the situation of oversupply and overcapacity will continue for a long time. Zhongtian cement plant wants to get out of the predicament, expecting the idle capacity to be utilized is not realistic, because the market competition is fierce, Zhongtian cement plant has no advantage in marketing and sales, or the quality cost and price of production, like the current situation, ordinary cement even if it is sold can not make any money.
On the contrary, although the total domestic cement output is relatively large, up to 500 million tons, but more than 95 of them are ordinary cement, and the output of special cement is less than five, that is to say, there are only more than 10,000 tons of samples, including decorative cement self-stressed cement and other kinds, and the most widely used and the largest demand for fast-hardening high-strength cement is in serious shortage, accounting for less than one thousandth, that is, about hundreds of thousands of tons of samples, the market vacancy is very large.
Compared with ordinary cement, special cement, especially fast-hardening high-strength cement, not only sells well, but also has a relatively high price and large profit margins, as long as the research and development is successful and the production and sales are realized, it is enough to improve the current operating conditions of Zhongtian cement plant.
However, the leaders of Zhongtian Cement Plant believe that the R&D investment of special cement is relatively large, and the R&D risk is relatively large, and it is possible to invest money in it but not get the desired results, and the company's current situation is no longer able to bear such risks and investments.
In addition, the production technology requirements of special cement are relatively high compared with ordinary cement, and even if the production and development are successful, the factory must invest in the transformation of production equipment. Again, this is something that the factory cannot afford.
There is also a very important point, even if the output of special cement is relatively low, the total national output of fast-hardening cement is only a few hundred thousand tons, and Zhongtian Cement Plant is counted as such a project. It is also not enough to absorb the huge spare capacity.
Therefore, Xie Zhigang tried his best to lobby, but there was still no way to get support, and the research on fast-hardening cement of Zhongtian Cement Plant was finally stopped.
Xie Zhigang was disappointed, but he was still unwilling to accept the failure of the project and his own failure. So he used his personal connections to hope that the project could be reborn elsewhere.
The silicate major of Zhongtian University has a certain influence in China, and many of the teachers and alumni of Zhongtian University and Xie Zhigang's Datong are in this industry, but the situation of the industry is not good, and Xie Zhigang has not found any unit willing to support it.
This is actually related to the overall domestic economic situation and the situation of the cement industry, due to the bad situation of the industry, everyone does not dare to spend money, coupled with high inventory and idle capacity, at this time the risk of new projects is high.
Bao Feiyang also learned about this matter through Meng Shuang, and Meng Shuang learned about this situation through Datong.
At present, Fangxia Industrial Group has formed a diversified development pattern based on ceramics, papermaking, energy, new materials and finance and other industries. Among them, ceramics are still the core industry, the paper industry has also formed a certain scale through cooperation with Indonesia and West Asia, and new materials are a key industry for the development of Fangxia Industrial Group.
Energy is based on the peripheral Tucker Oil Company of the United States, which has been involved in a number of energy companies through investment, but it is still mainly based on strategic investment, in fact, through financial operations, the current influence of Fangxia Industrial Group has penetrated into many industries.
Bao Feiyang is still cautious about the expansion of Fangxia Industrial Group, and he hopes that Fangxia Industrial Group can focus on its core business. That is, the current ceramic industry, as well as the new materials that represent the future, in order to maintain their influence on the industrial chain, in other industries to focus on investment.
Fangxia Industrial Group has also invested in some cement plants. After all, strictly speaking, cement and ceramics belong to the large category of silicate, but the cement plants invested by Fangxia Industrial Group are purely capital investment, and Fangxia Industrial Group, as one of the investors, does not participate in the direct operation and management of these enterprises.
Meng Shuang originally planned to say hello to these cement companies to see which company was interested in taking over the fast-hardening cement project developed by Xie Zhigang. The reason why Meng Shuang is willing to say hello is not only because Xie Zhigang is the same as her and Bao Feiyang, but because she also agrees with Xie Zhigang's judgment. Although there is still room for growth in the ordinary cement market in the future, the value of special cement is undoubtedly greater.
After Bao Feiyang learned about this matter from Meng Shuang, he also recognized Meng Shuang's opinion, but he felt that Xie Zhigang's research had made some progress, at this time, a cement company simply recruited Xie Zhigang to its subsidiary, and then funded Xie Zhigang's research to continue, and achieved the final research results, from this point of view, Xie Zhigang's final benefits are not proportional to the great efforts he has made, that is to say, Xie Zhigang's knowledge and ability have not reflected the value, so later Bao Feiyang contacted Xie Zhigang and proposed a new plan to Xie Zhigang。
The core of the new plan proposed by Bao Feiyang is to let Xie Zhigang be his own boss, Xie Zhigang has no funds, but has knowledge, Bao Feiyang hopes that he can re-set up a research and development team by himself, in order to achieve research and development results as soon as possible, as for the funds, it will be invested by the venture capital of Fangxia Special Materials Fangxia Finance, as well as Lingang Economic Development Zone, and Bao Feiyang will also find a way to pass the guarantee, so that Xie Zhigang can borrow a sum of money from Fangxia Finance in his personal capacity, Xie Zhigang shares a part of the company's shares through technology and loan money, and other investors hold the corresponding shares, if the project can be successful, Xie Zhigang's life will undoubtedly happen hugely.
Of course, Xie Zhigang was not dissatisfied with the plan proposed by Bao Feiyang, but he also had some doubts, after all, if the project failed, he would have to owe a lot of debt, and it may even be a huge debt that he could not pay off in this lifetime.
It happened that Bao Feiyang was going to come to Zhongtian City on a business trip, so he made an appointment with Xie Zhigang, and when he arrived in Zhongtian City, the two of them talked in detail.
Before Bao Feiyang attended Mei Lifeng'er's full moon banquet, he called Xie Zhigang a few times to confirm the time with him. Unexpectedly, he made several phone calls before and after, but no one answered, so he had to find a way to run, hoping to see Xie Zhigang as soon as possible.
Hearing Bao Feiyang say this, Mei Lifeng and Yan Hongfa did not insist on keeping Bao Feiyang, they also knew that Bao Feiyang was now what it used to be, as the leader of the local development zone, there must be a lot of work to be busy, and they couldn't help but sigh that the hairy guy who had just graduated from school back then has grown up and matured, and his level is higher than them.
In the face of such a contrast, although Mei Lifeng and Yan Hongfa were surprised, when they talked about it in private, they also took it for granted, after all, Bao Feiyang had already turned the tide before he walked out of the school gate, and helped Bao Guoqiang, who was already in a desperate situation, to fight and defeat loyalty.
With such an ability, it is indeed not surprising that Bao Feiyang was able to get to where he is now.
"That's it, Feiyang, you have to find someone, it's not convenient to have no one around, the red-haired he has to go to work in the afternoon, anyway, I asked for leave today, and there is nothing to do, just let me accompany you on a trip!" Mei Lifeng said with a smile.
Yan Hongfa hurriedly said, "Why don't you let me go, I'm familiar with it." ”
Mei Lifeng glared at Yan Hongfa: "How big can Zhongtian be, and can there be anyone I am not familiar with?" Redhead, you should go to work, the city has been rectified recently, and the task of your traffic police brigade is relatively heavy. (To be continued.) )
