Qin Hai wanted to merge Anhe Electric Factory, of course, not because he wanted to share his worries for Chai Peide. The difficult enterprise in Anhe Province is not only Anhe Electric Factory, even if Qin Hai has too much money and is in a panic, he will not find a random company to merge.

The reason why Qin Hai took a fancy to Anhe Electric Machinery Factory was related to the engine research meeting he had attended in the Machinery Committee. After that meeting, the large car companies returned to the original state of introducing foreign technology to sell cars in China, but Zhang Daiwei, who made amazing remarks at the meeting, left the Beidian Automobile Group and went to Hongyuan Province to participate in the establishment of the Hongyuan Automobile Company.

According to the agreement between Qin Hai and Zhang Daiwei, the two parties will jointly promote the development of electric vehicle technology. Among them, Qin Hai is responsible for the development of power storage technology and motor technology, while Zhang Daiwei is responsible for power transmission, body design, chassis tuning, power tuning and other work related to the automotive profession. If these two aspects are completed, Daqin Group and Hongyuan Automobile Company can cooperate to establish a new energy vehicle company to specialize in the production of new energy vehicles.

Qin Hai has already made arrangements for the two technologies of lithium battery and supercapacitor involved in power storage technology, and some progress has been made in related research work. As for motor technology, it involves another trump card in Qin Hai's hands, that is, new rare earth permanent magnet materials.

There are various types of motors that can be used in electric vehicles, but none other than permanent magnet motors are the most commonly used and most suitable. Permanent magnet motors need to use hard magnetic materials with large magnetic energy product and strong coercivity, and the highest performance of such materials is rare earth hard magnetic alloy.

The earliest rare earth hard magnetic alloy is samarium cobalt alloy, and its biggest defect is that the price of cobalt metal used in it is high, which makes the cost of alloy materials high and difficult to promote. In 1983, Japanese scholars discovered NdFeB permanent magnet materials. Its magnetic properties and price are better than samarium cobalt alloys, thus becoming the most popular rare earth permanent magnet materials. Up to now, most of the permanent magnet motors produced by various manufacturers around the world use NdFeB materials.

NdFeB materials also have their own defects, that is, the Curie temperature is low, the temperature stability and the environmental stability are poor. The so-called Curie temperature is simply the temperature critical point at which the permanent magnet material loses its magnetism. Curie temperature is low. This means that the material cannot continue to maintain its magnetic properties at high temperatures, thus limiting the range of application of magnetic materials.

Two years ago, Qin Hairang Sun Yuzhi of the School of Materials Science and Technology developed dysprosium terbium ferroalloy permanent magnet material, which has a much higher Curie temperature than NdFeB and stronger magnetic properties, which looks like an effective alternative to NdFeB. When the Japanese company Chunshan, which has a number of patented technologies in NdFeB research, learned of this, it first took out the patent of NdFeB and exchanged the patent of dysprosium and terbium ferroalloy with Daqin Group, and then hoarded dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide at any cost, intending to make a big profit in the field of this new material.

Chunshan didn't know. Dysprosium terbium ferroalloy is just a trap set by Qin Hai, in his hands, there is another new permanent magnet material whose performance is not inferior to dysprosium terbium ferroalloy, but the raw material price is far lower than that of dysprosium terbium ferroalloy, that is, cerium-based permanent magnet material. Inspired by Qin Hai, Sun Yuzhi completed the development of cerium-based permanent magnet materials in a short time, but at Qin Hai's request, he concealed this discovery. It has not been released to the outside world for a long time.

After two years, Chunshan has stockpiled more than 500 tons of dysprosium oxide and more than 100 tons of terbium oxide. Nearly $200 million was spent. With these raw materials as support, Haruzan began to develop dysprosium and terbium ferroalloy with confidence and boldness, and promoted dysprosium and terbium ferroalloy permanent magnet materials to magnetic material users around the world. Hearing the news, Qin Hai knew that the time had come to close the net.

Qin Hai's next step was to lift the ban on Sun Yuzhi. Let Sun Yuzhi publish a paper on cerium-based permanent magnet materials, and at the same time apply for patents for cerium-based permanent magnet materials worldwide. Cerium-based permanent magnet materials have an absolute advantage in price, and once they come out, they will inevitably collapse the market for dysprosium and terbium ferroalloys. At the same time, the price of permanent magnet materials has plunged. It will also bring the climax of the application of permanent magnet materials, including permanent magnet motors, speakers, magnetic separators, disk drives and other products will become more widely used.

Combining all these factors, Qin Hai set his sights on the Anhe Electric Factory, and he was ready to convert the company's main products into rare earth permanent magnet motors after the merger of this company. Permanent magnet motor is not only the core component of electric vehicles, but also one of the most valuable components in the future high-speed rail train, in addition, such as electric bicycles, car wipers, electric fans, household soymilk machines and other large and small commodities, will use motors, this market is very huge. As the owner of a patent for a new type of rare earth permanent magnet material, entering the permanent magnet motor industry will have a competitive advantage that others do not have.

Of course, Qin Hai couldn't explain all these considerations to Chai Peide one by one, after all, Chai Peide was a government official, not an engineer, and he didn't need to know too many details. Qin Hai briefly introduced his plan, Chai Peide listened, nodded, and said: "So, you plan to change its production structure and switch to rare earth permanent magnet motors after the merger of Anhe Electric Factory, so as to further develop the value of rare earth permanent magnet materials." ”

"Governor Chai summed it up very accurately, and that's exactly what we considered." Qin Hai slapped his sycophants with his hand.

Chai Peide didn't care about Qin Hai's compliment, he asked: "How big a market can there be for a product like a rare earth permanent magnet motor?" Can you feed the entire Anhe Electric Plant? ”

"It's not just about feeding an Anhe Electric Factory." Qin Hai said confidently, "The global market size of permanent magnet motors is calculated in 100 billion US dollars, and the permanent magnet motors used in automobile starters alone are tens of millions of units a year, and one is more than 10 billion yuan at 300 US dollars." Think about it this way, as long as it's something that can turn, there's going to be a motor in it, and how big the market will be. ”

"On such a large scale?" Chai Peide's eyes widened, "Since this is the case, why does Anhe Electric Machinery Factory complain that there is no market all day long?" ”

"This ...... It can only be said that it is man-made. Qin Hai shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully.

The market is prepared for people with intentions, if with the style of government and business, neither willing to invest money to develop new products, but also unwilling to look for customers, no matter how big the market is in vain. Qin Hai has also made people understand the reasons why Anhe Electric Machinery Factory fell into Yan Zhan's loss, but in front of Chai Peide, there is no need for him to count these things.

Chai Peide actually just said a word of emotion, of course, he knew the crux of Anhe Electric Machinery Factory better than Qin Hai. Listening to Qin Hai's description of such a bright market prospect, his interest in this merger case became even stronger. With his understanding of Qin Hai, he can fully believe that after Qin Hai merges Anhe Electric Factory, it is very possible to lead this enterprise to regain its vigor and even cultivate a world-class large enterprise.

"Okay, since you have done such a thorough research, then I agree and hand over the Anhe Electric Plant to you. Of course, this matter is not something that I can say alone, and the transfer and merger of such a large enterprise needs to be discussed at the governor's office meeting. Xiao Qin, tell me, what conditions do you plan to use to merge Anhe Electric Factory? Chai Peide asked.

Qin Hai said with a smile: "Of course, the cheaper the better." We paid 10 million to buy all the equipment and factories, what does Governor Chai think? ”

"And what about the debts and workers of the Anhe Electric Plant?" Chai Peide asked.

Qin Haidao: "Of course, the debt will be repaid by the province, as for the workers, we will keep it if it is useful, and if it is useless, we will trouble Governor Chai to resettle it." ”

"What about retired workers?" Chai Peide asked again.

"We don't care." Qin Hai responded.

"How can this work!" Chai Peide's face darkened, "Xiao Qin, you are obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob." Although Anhe Electric Machinery Factory is a loss-making enterprise, its fixed assets plus the land in the factory area are worth at least 100 million yuan...... Well, like you said, it's worth at least 50 million, right? If you buy it with 10 million and don't pay its debts, isn't this equivalent to making 40 million cheaper for the country? How can you open your mouth like this? ”

"However, if we merge the Anhe Electric Factory, we will be able to provide no less than 40 million taxes to the province in the next year. Qin Hai retorted with a grin.

"It's different." Chai Peide stumbled, I have to say that this point pointed out by Qin Hai is quite tempting for Chai Peide. However, he still has the necessary principles, so he can only insist, saying: "Taxes are taxes, assets are assets, these are two different things." No matter how much tax you pay in the future, I can't sell a 50 million enterprise to you for 10 million, not to mention that you also put forward a condition that is absolutely unacceptable to the province regardless of the current workers and retired workers. ”

"Really unacceptable?" Qin Hai looked at Chai Peide with a smile on his face, which made it impossible to guess his thoughts.

"Unacceptable!" Chai Peide insisted.

Qin Hai laughed haha: "Haha, it seems that Director Ning still understands you, he has already said that Governor Chai will definitely not agree to this plan." ”

"Now that you know this, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chai Peide rebuked in annoyance. Hearing Qin Hai say this, he also understood that Qin Hai had just been a temptation before, and his nervous mood suddenly relaxed.

"Just kidding Governor Chai." Qin Hai said loudly, "If Governor Chai is in a good mood and agrees to our conditions, won't we save 40 million?" ”

"So, you're planning to make the acquisition based on the net value of the Anhe Electric Plant?" Chai Peide asked.

"Yes, we are prepared to give out 10 million in cash and additionally accept all the debts of the Anhe Electric Plant. As for the current workers and retired workers, we will also accept them all, and we will definitely not leave any burden on the province. Qin Hai said happily. (To be continued......)
