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 room 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 the deputy squadron leader of 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, so he just notified a few close friends to come over, but he didn't expect that his colleagues and subordinates heard the news and made several big tables at once.

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 was serving in Zhongtian City, he had strict requirements for his family, and Bao Feiyang was still a student at that time, except for the time when he was loyal to Lu to save his uncle, 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 ended, Mei Lifeng and Yan Hongfa originally wanted to invite Bao Feiyang to drink tea, but Bao Feiyang politely refused: "Not in the afternoon." I'm going to meet a classmate and watch it in the evening, right? ”

It's rare to go back to Zhongtian once, Bao Feiyang also wants to get together with Mei Lifeng, Yan Hongfa and others, but he comes back this time, and he won't stay for too long, after all, there are many things waiting for him to deal with every day in the Lingang Economic Development Zone. He also arranged a day of personal time for himself, and from tomorrow, he will go to the Silicate Academic Seminar. Although Bao Feiyang has more than ten years of professional knowledge ahead of this era, he has heard the Tao and specialized in the industry, and as far as the entire silicate field is concerned, Bao Feiyang believes that he still needs to learn a lot of things. If he simply follows the administrative bureaucratic line, it doesn't matter whether he has mastered these things or not, but after all, he still has his current position in the Huaxia Science and Technology Commission, and there are many technical things. He still needs to deal with it. Therefore, he must attend this national symposium on silicate.

According to Bao Feiyang's arrangement, in addition to attending Mei Lifeng's child's full moon banquet today, he also had to visit a college classmate. His college classmate is called Xie Zhigang, who was a very good friend of Bao Feiyang in college, and after Xie Zhigang graduated, he was assigned to Zhongtian Cement Factory. At that time, the domestic economy was growing relatively fast, and the scale of infrastructure investment was large. The demand for cement and other building materials is strong, Zhongtian cement plant as a provincial key enterprise, the efficiency at that time is still relatively good, it can be said that it is in a golden age, not only production and sales are booming, and even increase investment. Expand production.

However, in order to control the overheating of the economy, the state reduced the scale of infrastructure investment, which had a significant impact on the cement and other building materials industries. 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 percent.

Zhongtian cement plant is also affected by this is relatively large, especially the development policy a few days ago is more radical, the production capacity has been expanded on a large scale, and now the product can not be sold, but it has to bear the loan principal and interest when the capacity is expanded, and the development of the enterprise has fallen into a dilemma.

Xie Zhigang as a graduate of Zhongtian University of Technology majoring in silicate, after graduation into Zhongtian cement plant, engaged in product research and development, Zhongtian cement plant benefits are good, product research and development department has also received strong support, but when the cement plant efficiency is not good, the time can not see the benefits of the R & D department of the day is sad.

Xie Zhigang was originally researching a high-strength fast-hardening cement, and has made 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 been idle, becoming an idler with no R&D tasks in the product development department.

Xie Zhigang was also a scholar type of person, full of enthusiasm, 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, operating 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, and it is not realistic to expect the idle production capacity to be utilized, because the market competition is too fierce, and Zhongtian Cement Plant has no advantages in marketing, sales, or product quality, cost and price.

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 5%, that is to say, there are only more than 1 million tons, which also includes decorative cement, self-stressed cement and other varieties, and the most widely used, the largest demand for fast-hardening high-strength cement is in short supply, accounting for less than one thousandth, that is, about hundreds of thousands of tons, the market vacancy is very large.

Compared with ordinary cement, special cement, especially fast-hardening and high-strength cement, not only has good sales, 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. The company's current situation can no longer afford such a risk and investment.

In addition, the production technology requirements of special cement are relatively high compared with ordinary cement, even if the product is successfully developed, the factory will also invest in the transformation of production equipment, which is also unaffordable for the factory.

It is also very important that the production of special cement is relatively low. The total national output of fast-hardening cement is only a few hundred thousand tons, and even if Zhongtian Cement Plant is such a project, it is not enough to digest the huge idle 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 he was unwilling to accept 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. Many of the teachers and alumni of Zhongtian University and Xie Zhigang's college classmates are in this industry, but the shape of the industry is not good, and Xie Zhigang has not found any wealthy units willing to support him.

This is actually related to the overall domestic economic shape and the situation of the cement industry, due to the bad situation of the industry, everyone does not dare to spend money indiscriminately, coupled with high inventory, idle capacity, at this time the risk of new projects is too great.

Bao Feiyang also learned about this matter through Meng Shuang, and Meng Shuang learned about this situation from his classmates at Tongguò University.

At present, Fangxia Industrial Group has formed a diversified development pattern based on ceramics, papermaking, energy, new materials and finance. Among them, ceramics are still the core industry, and the paper industry is through the cooperation between Guò and Indonesia's Sinar Mas Group. It has also formed a certain scale, and new materials are a key industry for the development of Fangxia Industrial Group.

Energy, on the other hand, is dominated by the U.S. Tucker Oil Company, which itself invests in a number of energy companies, but it is still mainly based on strategic investment, and in fact operates through finance. Fangxia Industrial Group's current influence 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 new materials that represent the future, in order to maintain its influence on the industrial chain. In other industries, investment is the mainstay.

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 these cement plants invested by Fangxia Industrial Group are purely capital investment, as one of the investors Fangxia Industrial Group 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 her and Bao Feiyang's classmate, but because she also agrees with Xie Zhigang's judgment that 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 obtained 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, Xie Zhigang's knowledge and ability do not reflect 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 strive for research and development results, as for the funds, it will be invested by Fangxia Special Materials, Fangxia Finance's venture capital, and Lingang Economic Development Zone, and Bao Feiyang will also find a way to guarantee that Xie Zhigang can borrow a sum of money from Fangxia Finance in his personal capacity. Xie Zhigang owns a part of the company's shares through guò technology and loan money, and other investors hold corresponding shares, and if this project can be successful, Xie Zhigang's life will undoubtedly change dramatically.

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 will not be able to pay off in this life.

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 met and talked in detail.

Before Bao Feiyang attended Mei Lifeng's son's full moon banquet, he made a few calls to Xie Zhigang 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 much 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 not 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 young man 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, before Bao Feiyang walked out of the school gate, he had already made a brilliant move to turn the tide, helping Bao Guoqiang, who was already in a desperate situation, to fight and fall Lu Zhongzhong, as long as he thought about it, Bao Guoqiang almost fell on Lu Zhongzhong's hands, and in the end, it was Bao Feiyang who turned the tide, and he knew how superb Bao Feiyang's political wisdom and skill were.

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 more familiar with the road." ”

Mei Lifeng glared at Yan Hongfa: "How big can Zhongtian be, and can there be a road that I am not familiar with?" Red-haired, you better go to work, the city has been rectified recently, and the task of your traffic police brigade is relatively heavy. (To be continued......)
