Chapter 419: Only People Who Can't Make Money
Hearing Ma Yiping's introduction, Pang Zhengxiong laughed, stretched out two hands to Ning Mo, and said, "Welcome, welcome Manager Ning to come and inspect the work." ”
"Director Pang is welcome."
Ning Mo also stretched out his hand and shook it with Pang Zhengxiong. Just as Pang Zhengxiong was waiting for him to say a few more kind words, the other party quickly pulled out his hand, turned to Xu Xinqun, and said, "Section Chief Xu, thank you for introducing us to the God of Wealth...... By the way, you have to leave me a few votes for the finals of the county mountain song festival next month. ”
"......" Xu Xinqun didn't know what to say, did the thinking of Director Pang in front of him jump a little too fast?
Ning Mo didn't understand the relationship between these people, but from Pang Zhengxiong's demeanor, he could feel the other party's indifference. He claimed to be coming to inspect the glass factory, and Ma Yiping's attitude was very positive, which was not like a fake. And although this Pang Zhengxiong said it hotly and used a lot of strength when shaking hands, Ning Mo could still detect that the other party didn't take this matter to heart. As for whether Pang Zhengxiong's heart is unwilling for others to invest, or whether he doesn't believe that Ning Mo can invest, it can't be seen.
After the greetings, Pang Zhengxiong led everyone to the factory. He was sticking to Ma Yiping intentionally or unintentionally, and he was also picking up Ma Yiping's words in and out of his words, but he just dealt with Ning Mo casually. Ma Yiping also felt this, and had to turn his head from time to time to take care of Ning Mo.
"Manager Ning, do you think let's go to the conference room first to listen to Director Pang's report?" Ma Yiping asked Ning Mo for advice.
Ning Mo was a little angered by Pang Zhengxiong's attitude, but he didn't show it. Over the years, he has been trying to imitate Qin Hai's way of dealing with people, and he thought that if Qin Hai encountered such a scene, he would definitely not be furious. Instead, he had to be calm and calm, and then find a suitable opportunity to slap the other party a few times.
Well, well, then I'll settle the matter first, as for the slap in the face. I don't have a chance yet, so I won't think about it for now.
Thinking like this, Ning Mo smiled at Ma Yiping and said, "Chief Ma, we don't have to waste time, let's ask Director Pang to take us to the workshop to have a look, I mainly want to know about the production of our factory." ”
"That's fine." Ma Yiping said, he turned to Pang Zhengxiong and said, "Director Pang." Why don't we follow what Manager Ning said and go to the workshop to have a look? ”
"Listen to the leader, I'm the best person to speak." Pang Zhengxiong said with a grin.
Hanping Glass Factory is a small glass factory designed with an annual output of 200,000 weight boxes. Pang Zhengxiong took Ning Mo and his entourage to visit the raw material section, melting section, introduction section, cutting section, etc., and introduced them to a series of equipment such as grinding machine, hopper, pool kiln, introduction machine, cutting table, etc. Ning Mo didn't know much about glass production, and he was somewhat interested in the excitement. Walk down in a circle. The only impression he had was that the company's production process was relatively complete, and the workers working on the equipment looked like journeymen.
"I think the production of your factory is quite prosperous. Why does Chief Ma still say that you are not in a good situation? Walking out of the production workshop, Ning Mo asked Pang Zhengxiong.
Pang Zhengxiong said with a smile: "Manager Ning said that the production capacity of our factory is 200,000 TEUs, and now we can't even sell 50,000 TEUs a year, what can we talk about?" ”
A standard box is the original unit of measurement for glass, which refers to glass with a thickness of 2 mm and an area of 10 square meters. From 86 years. The State Economic Commission and the Building Materials Industry Bureau have abolished this unit of measurement and replaced it with a "weight box". However, old people like Pang Zhengxiong are still accustomed to using standard boxes as a measure of production capacity, and people in the industry are also acceptable to this statement.
Ning Mo didn't know what 200,000 TEUs meant. But he knows that with a capacity of 200,000 boxes, it can only sell 50,000 boxes a year, and such a company must have operating pressure. He asked: "Why can't our glass be sold, is it a quality problem?" ”
Pang Zhengxiong said: "In terms of quality, of course, it can't be compared with big factories, but it's not much worse." The key is the cost, the cost of a standard box in a large factory is 22 yuan, the cost of a standard box is almost 42 yuan, and the price stipulated by the state is 36 yuan. ”
"The price stipulated by the state is 36 yuan a box, and your cost is 42 yuan a box, isn't that the more you produce, the more you lose?" Ning Mo asked a little strangely.
Pang Zhengxiong glanced at Ma Yiping, which meant that he felt that Ning Mo was completely a layman, and he was too lazy to do such popular science. Ma Yiping understood what Pang Zhengxiong meant, and said: "Director Pang, I see that Manager Ning is still very interested in our factory, so you should give a detailed introduction to the relevant situation." ”
Pang Zhengxiong was helpless, sighed lightly, and said: "Manager Ning, you don't know, national pricing is one thing, and the actual price in the market is another. The price of glass is cheap, but not everyone can buy it. If they can't buy the unified glass, they can only look for us, and the price can't be calculated according to the unified price. ”
"I see." Ning Mo nodded, in fact, there is no difference between the truth and steel, the country's pricing is one thing, and the black market price is another. Small factories like the Hanping Glass Factory rely on the price difference between the black market price and the fixed price to survive. When the supply of glass in the market is insufficient, this kind of small factory still lives very well; But if the market is well supplied, it will be difficult for such small factories.
"That is to say, what Hanping Glass Factory needs now is to improve technology, reduce costs, and improve quality, so that the products will be competitive and will be able to turn losses into profits. Does Director Pang know that? Ning Mo asked.
"It's impossible."
Without waiting for Pang Zhengxiong to answer, a middle-aged man in work clothes next to him interjected and directly rejected Ning Mo's beautiful idea.
"He is Su Changliang, the deputy head of our technical section." Pang Zhengxiong introduced it to everyone, and then said to Su Changliang: "Old Su, how can you talk like this, this Manager Ning is here to inspect our factory and plans to invest in our factory, how can you scare away other guests?" ”
He speaks harshly, but his tone is understated, making people feel that he doesn't really care about whether he will scare away investors. Ning Mo didn't care about Pang Zhengxiong's attitude anymore, he turned to Su Changliang and asked, "Section Chief Su, why do you say it's impossible?" ”
Su Changliang said in a disdainful tone: "The production efficiency of small glass factories is like this, and there is no such technology in the world that can reduce the energy and material consumption of small glass factories." If we want to reduce our production costs, there is only one way, which is to blow up the factory and build a float kiln with a weight of 1.5 million boxes, or a nine-machine kiln of the same scale. I have read the information that the standard coal unit consumption of the nine-machine kiln is 28.92 kg per weight box, and the unit consumption of standard coal is 116 kg per weight box for the two-machine kiln that our factory is now using. ”
The float kiln and the lead kiln correspond to the different processes of glass production, which Ning Mo does not understand. However, the unit energy consumption of large equipment is lower than that of small equipment, and Ning Mo is deeply aware. The chemical enterprises under Jintang Chemical Group also use small and medium-sized equipment, and the energy consumption per unit of product is significantly higher than that of large enterprises, which is also the reason why these small and medium-sized enterprises are difficult to support.
However, Ning Mo feels that many things are man-made. After the merger of those enterprises in Jintang by Daqin Group, they have updated their equipment and improved their processes, and their energy and material consumption have dropped significantly, although they still do not meet the standards of large enterprises, but they also have some competitiveness. If these chemical companies can reduce consumption, why can't glass factories do it?
Thinking of this, Ning Mo said to Su Changliang: "Section Chief Su, these energy consumption indicators you mentioned are the current situation of your factory. What are you talking about when the second machine is introduced to the kiln, if the production process is improved, can the energy consumption be reduced? ”
"It can't be." Su Changliang said in a rebellious tone.
"You can't do it, and neither can anyone else?" Ning Mo was really annoyed, and choked directly. In his heart, he faintly thought that what Su Changliang couldn't do, couldn't Qin Hai do it either? Qin Hai has created so many miracles, a small glass kiln, is it still difficult to stop him?
Su Changliang laughed: "If you have this ability, I can kowtow to you." ”
"Section Chief Su, how did you speak!" Ma Yiping was unhappy on the side. Anyway, Ning Mo is the investor he brought, and Su Changliang's words are too unkind to investors. If Ning Mo brushes his sleeves away for this reason, this is the fault of China Merchants, and someone will use this matter to make trouble in the future.
Ma Yiping and Su Changliang are both known as section chiefs, but the gold content of the two is completely different. Even Pang Zhengxiong has to think of himself as a subordinate in front of Ma Yiping, let alone Su Changliang. Hearing Ma Yiping's scolding, Su Changliang didn't dare to make a mistake, just stood aside and sneered and stopped talking.
"Manager Ning, Section Chief Su is such a person, he is straightforward, he has no opinion on you, don't take it to heart." Ma Yiping turned his head to Ning Mo and said.
Ning Mo also learned from Su Changliang's expression, sneered, and said, "It doesn't matter, what Section Chief Su thinks can't be done, I think there will always be someone who can do it." Our company has merged many companies in the past, and those companies were hopeless before they were merged by us, but when they came to us, they became cash cows. Our chairman always said that there is no enterprise that does not make money, only people who do not make money. ”
As soon as these words came out, Pang Zhengxiong and Su Changliang's faces turned black charcoal, Pang Zhengxiong swallowed his saliva, and said with a dry smile: "Hehe, if this is the case, then more than 200 cadres and workers in our factory are looking forward to Manager Ning coming to turn our factory into a cash cow."
