Chapter 263: Zirconia at the nanoscale
Liu Shuo's aunt made Qin Hailei choked enough. With the age of her mother Zong Huiying, calling "eldest sister" in front of Liu Shuo belongs to being called old, how can she be promoted to become an aunt for another generation. Fortunately, Zong Huiying came from the countryside and was used to being called by various generations. She decided in her heart that Liu Shuo and the others were Qin Hai's friends, so she accepted this aunt calmly.
Qin Hai arched his hand to Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling, and said, "Everyone's wishes, I won't shirk it." After Brother Liu and Sister Huang go back, I would like to thank everyone on behalf of my family. For such a thing, you also made a special trip, which made me really unhappy. Since you are here, let's stay in Anhe for a few more days, and I will find someone to arrange a car for you and take you to see several famous scenic spots in our province. ”
"No, no, no." Huang Yanling waved her hand again and again, "Director Qin, we can see you and your uncle and aunt, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, we will take the car back to Linxi tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there are still a lot of things in the factory." By the way, we actually have one more thing to ask Director Qin for this trip......"
Speaking of this, her tone became a little hesitant, and she kept glancing at Liu Shuo with her eyes, as if she had something she wanted to say but was inconvenient to say.
Qin Minghua frowned slightly, Huang Yanling's pretentiousness, Qin Minghua can completely understand it. It can be guessed that in fact, the main purpose of their trip is what Huang Yanling wants to say, and this matter is obviously likely to make Qin Hai feel unhappy, so Huang Yanling will put on such a posture. Thinking further, Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling must have had a tacit understanding in advance on this matter, and the current situation is clear that they want Huang Yanling to sing blackface, and Liu Shuo will use it as a backup to come out and sing redface when necessary.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Qin Hai retains the decision-making power of Brother Ceramics Factory. The decision to be made must be agreed by Qin Hai. Although the two sides said that it was a cooperative relationship, Qin Hai and Liu Shuo and others had only had a one-sided relationship, and Sha Renyuan, who played the role of threading the needle, had passed away, so if Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling had any ideas to discuss with Qin Hai, it would indeed be a little embarrassing.
Qin Hai is also a smart person, and he has more than 50 years of experience in the previous and previous lives combined. How could you not see Huang Yanling's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Sister Huang has something to do, but it doesn't matter, we are actually a family, and everything can be discussed." ”
Liu Shuo gave Huang Yanling an affirmative look, and Huang Yanling said with a timid look: "Director Qin, that's the case, the policy you set for our ceramic factory was to produce industrial ceramics. At present, the sales of our technical ceramics are also okay. This year is expected to make a profit of more than 300,000 yuan. However, according to our observation, the market for industrial ceramics is not particularly ideal, so we want to give it a try in civil ceramics to see if there is a problem. ”
"That's what you're trying to say?" Qin Hai was a little surprised. His positioning for Brother Ceramics Factory is to engage in industrial porcelain, this market is actually very broad, just because the current brand influence of the factory is not enough. Many customers do not recognize the accounts of the brother ceramic factory, as long as they stick to it. The final development will be much stronger than engaging in civilian porcelain. However, although he has such an idea, Huang Yanling's idea of engaging in civil porcelain is not a deviant move, and there is no need to be so nervous.
"Director Qin, let's just think about it. It's okay if you don't think it's appropriate. Huang Yanling hurriedly recycled her words.
Qin Hai was speechless, and he realized that there was really a deep estrangement between himself and these managers of his brother ceramic factory, so that the other party had to be so careful to even mention a little bit of business construction. For fear of making him feel unhappy. He thought for a moment and said:
"Brother Liu, Sister Huang, maybe the communication between us is too inadequate. I'm also to blame for this, I should go to Linxi a few more times, and we will talk more together, so that I won't be so rusty. In fact, in terms of business management, you are the actual operator, and you can have the power to make decisions, and I will fully respect your opinions. ”
"Director Qin misunderstood...... Liu Shuo blushed a little, and he said hesitantly:
"Before Uncle Sha left, he explained to us, saying that the important decision-making in the factory must be approved by you, and our 13 family members all swore in front of Uncle Sha's hospital bed, and whoever wants to violate it, no one can spare him.
We have been thinking about civil porcelain for a long time, but we are also hesitant. In fact, there are several civilian porcelain factories in Linxi, and if we produce civilian porcelain, we may also compete with them, and we don't count whether we can open the market. The idea of all of us is that if Director Qin can give us support and develop a few new products that others don't have, then we can do it. If there is no such new product, then we still insist on making the market of industrial porcelain. ”
Qin Haidao: "I am very happy that you can actively find ways to promote the operation of the factory. In the future, you can mention it at any time, whether it is okay or not, we can discuss it together. As for civil porcelain...... My feeling is that it's a little early to do it. ”
"What does it mean to be early?" Huang Yanling asked strangely.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "I mean, the market for civilian porcelain is actually very limited now, it is nothing more than some household tableware, and this market is not large. When the people are rich, every household buys a new house, decorates it with ceramic tiles, and buys all kinds of ceramic sanitary ware, then the market is worth investing. ”
"Families buying new houses?" Liu Shuo shook his head without thinking, "I'm afraid this will have to wait for decades, besides, even if the unit is allocated a house, who will buy tiles to use at home?" ”
Qin Hai smiled and said nothing, people in the mid-to-late 80s, must not have foreseen the mid-to-late 90s and the new century of the tide of house purchases, due to the advent of the national housing boom, at the beginning of the new century, China's civil ceramics have a blowout of development. However, this market is indeed too early for the current brother ceramic factory.
"In fact, the market for industrial porcelain is still quite large, and a small steel mill like ours purchases a lot of refractories every year." Qin Minghua interjected on the side. He understood the conversation between his son and Liu Shuo, although he had some ideas, it was not appropriate to say them at this time, so he could only help his son beat the side drum.
"Yes, yes, in fact, our insistence on making industrial ceramics is also very promising." Liu Shuo decisively denied Huang Yanling's suggestion, which was also discussed before they set off, that is, if Qin Hai did not approve of engaging in civil porcelain, they would never entangle, and Qin Hai's meaning would prevail.
"Yes, yes, we are indeed a little anxious, in fact, this year we can make at least 300,000 profits from industrial porcelain, and people really can't be too greedy." Huang Yanling said with an apologetic smile.
Liu Shuo also expressed his loyalty: "Director Qin, regarding alumina and zirconia, we can guarantee how much you want, and you can rest assured of this." For this, we also added a fine-grained ball mill, which cost a lot, but everyone said it was worth it. ”
"Zirconia ......" A thought suddenly flashed in Qin Hai's mind, this was actually something they had already talked about just now, but combined with Huang Yanling's idea of hoping to transform into civilian porcelain, Qin Hai keenly grasped an idea. He was stunned for a few minutes, then a smile bloomed on his face, and he asked Liu Shuo: "Brother Liu, how many nanometers can the zirconia powder produced by our factory reach?" ”
Liu Shuo saw that Qin Hai was silent for a long time, thinking that he was going to say something else, but who knew that he was still asking the question of zirconia. Although he was a little puzzled, Liu Shuo still replied in a regular manner: "We use alkoxide hydrolysis to produce zirconia powder, and the particles can reach as low as 100 nanometers. We don't have a high-powered electron microscope to measure the exact size. ”
"100 nanometers, that's enough." Qin Hai nodded, and he asked with a smile: "Two, the idea of engaging in civil porcelain you just mentioned is quite good. Just now I suddenly thought of a civilian porcelain product, which is definitely technologically advanced enough, are you interested in trying it? ”
Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling exchanged glances with each other, not knowing whether Qin Hai's words were true or false. Huang Yanling said: "We listen to Director Qin, if you think you can do it, we will do it." ”
Qin Hai said lightly: "The market for this product is very broad, but the current domestic market is estimated to be indigestible, so it can only aim at the international market." The production process is not complicated, mainly the nano-scale zirconia powder we just mentioned. We need to use a special gel, mix the powder into a cement, then press it into a stamping machine, and then evaporate the gel through the guò sintering process......"
As he spoke, he scribbled on the process requirements and the ingredients of the gel on a stack of paper that he had brought in his hand. Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling have been managing the ceramic factory for a year, and they have some understanding of these process problems, and they know that this is something they can do. As for that special gel, Qin Hai also said that he would entrust a scientific research company called Haijie Technology Company to develop it as quickly as possible.
"You have to be fast, and it's best to be able to develop it within a month." Qin Hai finally told Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling.
"In such a hurry?" Liu Shuo was taken aback, "Is there any reason?" ”
Qin Hai said with a smile: "In a month, I will go to Brazil to participate in an international exhibition, if you can take out the finished product, we can go to the exhibition together to sell." As long as you can meet the performance requirements I said, I dare not say more, I guarantee that our ceramic factory can earn 10 million US dollars a year! ”
"$10 million!" Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling's eyes emitted a strange light, and their first reaction was whether they had heard it wrong, but Qin Hai's indifferent expression made them believe that it was not an illusion.
"We'll go back to Quwu tomorrow!" The two men said in unison. (To be continued......)
