Chapter 451: Follow the baton

Li Qing was not something that could be seen casually, and Qin Hai did not stay and wait for Li Qing to meet him. After discussing some technical issues with Zhou Yicheng and others, he left with Huang Haiyue. Zhou Yicheng took a group of subordinates to the gate of the factory, watched Qin Hai's blue bird car go away, and then turned back.

"This little secretary general...... It's quite a bit of a personality. Zhuo Jianguo hesitated for a long time, and finally gave a neutral evaluation of Qin Hai. In the subsequent discussion, Qin Hai fully showed the profound knowledge of a material expert, and everyone was shocked. In this case, Zhuo Jianguo was embarrassed to belittle him.

Shi Weilin said to Zhou Yicheng: "Old Zhou, it seems that we have miscalculated the shape a little. The Planning Commission must have had some idea in letting such a person be deputy secretary general, but we ignored it. ”

Zhou Yicheng smiled bitterly: "I am also guilty of empiricism, in fact, Teacher Chen Heqian has already reminded me that I didn't take it to heart." ”

Zhuo Jianguo said: "Director, do you really plan to do what this young man said?" Engage in materials and processes, but thankless things, if we don't get it right, we all have to fall into it. ”

Zhou Yicheng asked rhetorically: "Lao Zhuo, what do you think?" Shall we change the original plan? ”

"This ...... I really can't say well. Zhuo Jianguo shook his head, "Let's say it, what Qin Hai said also makes sense, materials and processes are problems that we have to solve sooner or later, and it is not okay to avoid them like this." But the question is, can we really solve it if we want to solve it? There has been a lesson in this kind of thing, throwing millions into it, and finally not hearing a single sound. ”

Chen Jing interjected: "I think it's worth taking a risk. These words of Secretary-General Qin today sound at first glance. It's uncomfortable. But if you think about it, we can't help but admit that they are right. There is a saying in foreign countries that the five elements of manufacturing are called 5M, which are Manpower, Machinery, Materials, Methods, and Mother-nature, in our words. It's people, machines, materials, processes and the environment. Secretary-General Qin emphasized materials and processes, which were selected very accurately. ”

"That's right, but don't we still have China's national conditions?" Zhuo Jianguo said, "Whether it's materials or craftsmanship, no matter how good you are, can the higher-level departments see it?" It's better to put a piece of equipment there. ”

"Lao Zhuo is right, it depends on what the Planning Commission thinks. If this Qin Hai's viewpoint can represent the attitude of the Planning Commission, then we will do it. If this is just his family's words, then let's go as usual. Ultimately. The need above is the baton, let's follow the baton so that we won't make mistakes. Shi Weilin concluded.

"Old Shi is right." Zhuo Jianguo praised.

"I'd better report to Director Li first, this matter is very important, and I have to ask Director Li to make a decision." Zhou Yicheng said.

In his office, Li Qing listened to Zhou Yicheng's report on the visit of Qin Hai and his entourage, and like Shi Weilin's thoughts, Li Qing also believed that the attitude of the Planning Commission depended on the attitude of the Planning Commission. In front of Zhou Yicheng. Li Qing directly dialed the phone number of an old friend who was the director of a certain department of the State Development Planning Commission and asked him about Qin Hai's situation.

Put down the phone. Li Qing's face was a little stiff, and he said to Zhou Yicheng: "I have asked, the origin of this Qin Hai, and the people inside the Planning Commission can't figure it out. This person is young, so he started a Daqin Group by himself, and I heard that there are billions of assets in it. When this group was founded. Wang Hongsheng also went to Anhe in person to support the scene, and at the same time there were deputies in several ministries and commissions, and even a deputy director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. How can an ordinary private entrepreneur have such a big face? ”

"Is there any background?" Zhou Yicheng asked with a glare, the people of the capital have always been no strangers to things like "background". Phenomena that cannot be understood by oneself tend to be explained by "context".

Li Qing nodded heavily and said, "No one can say anything about this kind of thing. However, he can have such a big face, he must have a background, and his background is definitely not small. I heard that Wang Hongsheng trusted him very much, and this time he tried his best to make him the deputy secretary general at the director's office meeting. When have you ever heard of a private enterprise boss serving as deputy secretary general in a temporary organization led by the Planning Commission? ”

"Nope." Zhou Yicheng shook his head simply, this kind of thing is indeed incredible, and the answer can only be found from conspiracy theories.

"Since that's the case, then let's do as he says." Li Qing said, "Lao Zhou, let me ask you, if you focus on materials and processes, how sure can you complete the scheduled tasks?" ”

"More than eighty percent." Zhou Yicheng replied honestly.

"So sure?" Li Qing was taken aback, and felt a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yicheng in his heart. If it is a thing that is eighty percent certain, Zhou Yicheng did not take the initiative to undertake it before, but left a handle for the Planning Commission to grasp, this belongs to the corpse vegetarian meal, right?

Zhou Yicheng saw Li Qing's thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "Director Li, the situation is like this. Secretary-General Qin is prepared for his visit this time. Director Fan of the Chemical Design Institute has done a lot of work before, and they have even brought in several experts from the Soviet Union to conduct a lot of research on low-temperature materials. By the way, these experts were personally introduced by Secretary General Qin to the Soviet Union. Secretary-General Qin also said that as long as we are willing to participate, we can share the results of the research. I think that with their preliminary work, if we intervene again, it will be very certain. ”

"Well, this Qin Hai is not a person who talks on paper." Li Qing said, "But what is the purpose of his doing? He himself is a private entrepreneur, and he personally went to the Soviet Union to introduce talents, but the results he made were given to us for use, what good is it for him? ”

Zhou Yicheng said: "I asked him this question. He said that we can share the results of research by sending people and equipment to participate in research. However, we only have the right to use the research results, not the ownership, and the results belong to him. In other words, we can use these techniques as we please, but if other families want to use them, we have to pay him. ”

"Why!" Li Qing blurted out a comment, "He is too shrewd in this account." Low-temperature steel is not our only use, and those large enterprises in the Ministry of Chemical Industry often use low-temperature steel. If people have to pay him when they want to use it, he will make a lot of money. ”

Zhou Yicheng said: "His conditions are more than this. He also said that if he commissioned us to produce petrochemical equipment, we should give him a discount of at least 5% at a reasonable price, because the technology we use is provided by them, and we cannot charge money for technology. ”

"It's an unequal treaty!" Li Qing was really annoyed, "What if we don't agree to his conditions?" ”

"That means we have to develop the steel ourselves, or buy it from him. He said that once the low-temperature steel they independently developed passed the national appraisal, the Planning Commission would issue a ban on domestic companies from importing the same type of steel. When the time comes, it will be up to him to decide how much the steel will sell. Zhou Yicheng said.

"Isn't this a robber!" Li Qing said, "No, no matter how big his background is, I have to tell the Planning Commission, how can there be such a thing." ”

"People have technology, and it is reasonable for the Planning Commission to make such a stipulation. Didn't we ask the Planning Commission to do the same? Zhou Yicheng said.

Listening to Zhou Yicheng's reminder, Li Qing also reacted. Under the conditions of the country's strict shortage of foreign exchange, there are regulations for enterprises to import equipment and raw materials from abroad. In principle, products that can be produced domestically cannot be imported from abroad, unless the domestic production capacity is insufficient and the supply exceeds demand.

It is precisely because of such regulations that some petrochemical equipment developed by Jingshi Machinery can monopolize the domestic market and create huge profits for Jingshi Machinery. Now, if Qin Hai claims that he has developed low-temperature steel that has reached the level of similar imported products, the Planning Commission will indeed prohibit various enterprises from importing them, and require them to purchase them from Qin Hai.

"Wouldn't we be able to do it ourselves without them?" Li Qing dispelled the idea of going to the Planning Commission to reason with him, and instead proposed another plan.

Zhou Yicheng shook his head and said: "Let's do it ourselves, the cost is too great, and it is also a waste." In fact, even if we pay some manpower and material resources, plus a 5% discount on Qinhai's equipment, it is more cost-effective than developing these steel products ourselves. Qin Hai has already introduced their current research progress to us, they already have technical reserves for all kinds of steel we need, and some of them have even reached the qualified level, and we can eat ready-made ones without spending much energy. ”

"The 5% discount isn't a big deal. The Planning Commission really spoke, and even if there was no such thing, we would have to give such a big discount. Li Qing began to find a step for himself to go down, "I think what I am angry about is that this young man is too arrogant, and he dares to open his mouth like this, he really doesn't know how to advance or retreat." ”

"Alas, I guess it's arrogant, who makes the family have a good father?" Zhou Yicheng casually comforted Li Qingdao. Naturally, he couldn't hear that Qin Minghua was sneezing wildly in the distant Anhe Province, and the background of Qin Hai imagined by Li Qing and Zhou Yicheng was actually just a farmer in Baihe Township.

Zhou Yicheng's comfort still gave Li Qing enough reasons to take back his cruel words. He smiled and waved his hand, "You're right, we can't be as knowledgeable as this kind of person." In this way, Lao Zhou, you go to make a plan, just write according to Qin Hai's meaning, and you can also promise him a 5% discount. Then again, it's good to be able to solve the two obstacles of materials and processes. (To be continued......)
