Chapter 492: Talents are Rare

The question raised by Ren Feihan was indeed a little sensitive to Qin Hai. The things that Qin Hai made, whether it was a thermal spraying machine or a ceramic knife, all had some cheating meaning. If it weren't for the foresight of the traverser, Qin Hai would not have been able to come up with these things. However, what can be used to cheat is limited after all, and if you want to really start the material industry, you have to rely on solid investment, which is why Qin Hai entered the steel field and petrochemical field.

Qin Hai won't say much about these details, he has another set of more sensational rhetoric waiting for Ren Feihan:

"As the factory director, if it was just for my personal prosperity, I could have retired a long time ago, or find some short-term projects to earn some easy money. Although I am not a government official and a small private business owner, I also hope to be able to do something for the prosperity of the country.

I think the state of China's materials industry is clear to the director. As our country's economic construction continues to deepen, the demand for steel, cement, and chemical raw materials will surely increase day by day. However, in many material fields, we still have a lack of strictness, especially in the petrochemical industry, which has been controlled by others for a long time.

It's a very sad thing for a big country like ours to look up to people when it comes to materials, which is why I and our group are actively promoting the big ethylene project. In addition to ethylene, we will also add other basic organic chemical products such as methane, propylene, C4, and aromatics in the future. All in all, as long as it is a chemical raw material that the country needs, we must produce it, which is my ideal as an industrialist. ”

"Director Wang, is that so?" Ren Feihan was a little surprised, and he turned his head away. looked at Wang Hongsheng with suspicious eyes and asked him for confirmation.

Wang Hongsheng nodded and said solemnly: "Director Ren, you have no contact with Xiao Qin, and you don't know him. You may think that he is too high-pitched, but I can tell you responsibly. I believe in Xiao Qin's words, and he did exactly that. You can see that a lot of private capital has recently moved to the south to develop real estate, but Daqin Group did not do so, but invested billions of yuan in ethylene projects, which is not enough to prove Xiaoqin's ambition? ”

"But ......" Ren Feihan felt that his brain was a little insufficient, as a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise, he has always been very disdainful of private enterprises, believing that these enterprises will only take advantage of the state's loopholes. To really support the national economy, we have to rely on these large enterprises. But now, there is a private entrepreneur who is ashamed to say what the ideal of industrial people is in front of him, and senior government officials like Wang Hongsheng are also endorsing him, which makes Ren Feihan how to accept it.

Qin Hai smiled, and he said, "As the factory director, you don't have to be too embarrassed. Whether what I said is true or false, you'd better feel it for yourself. Facts are used for eloquence. Is this good, you first come over and participate in the preliminary work of Jintang Petrochemical. In this process, I will experience the style of our Daqin Group. If you think I deceived you in the future, you can leave, I think Director Wang will also give you an explanation. If you feel that our business is worth your investment, then our group welcomes you to join us. What do you think? ”

In this way, Ren Feihan accepted the appointment of the head of the preparatory team of Jintang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. and began to fully participate in the preparatory work for the construction of the plant. Qin Hai took him to Huaqing University, Chemical Design Institute and other units to participate in the design demonstration meeting. He also went to several petrochemical machinery factories with him to negotiate equipment manufacturing. In addition, Ren Feihan has also been invited to participate in several high-level meetings of Daqin Group, and met and talked with Ning Zhongying, Song Hongxuan and others.

As his understanding of Daqin Group deepened, especially after several all-night long talks with Qin Hai and Ning Zhongying, the original doubts and disdain in Ren Feihan's heart gradually disappeared. Replace it with a long-lost entrepreneurial impulse. 800,000 tons of ethylene, which is a long-term senior manager engaged in the petrochemical industry, is a dream platform, once Ren Feihan untied the knot, immediately regarded this project as his pursuit in the second half of his life.

Ren Feihan's understanding of the petrochemical industry is far beyond Qin Hai's. He quickly took Qin Hai's leading position in the project and began to arrange all the work. He used his connections to recruit a large number of managers and technicians from all over the country and let them into various jobs. He also used his rich experience to bargain with equipment suppliers and construction units in various bidding negotiations, and won many benefits for Daqin Group.

The construction of such a large-scale project involves a myriad of things. Qin Hai is a technical genius, but if you want to engage in project management, it is a little inadequate. After Ren Feihan and his newly formed team intervened, Qin Hai was liberated, he only needed to listen to the report and look at the report every now and then, and he could know that everything was advancing in an orderly manner, and it was no longer as messy as before.

"Talent is rare." Qin Hai was full of emotion when he talked to Wang Hongsheng about Ren Feihan's various actions.

"There are a lot of people in our system who can do amazing things if they are given a chance." Wang Hongsheng replied meaningfully.

Qin Hai sensitively sensed the mystery in Wang Hongsheng's words, and he asked, "Director Wang, do you mean that in the future, you will recommend another batch of management talents like Ren Feihan to our Daqin Group?" ”

"This kind of thing, it's better to be voluntary." Wang Hongsheng said, "The twisted melon is not sweet, and it takes a lot of effort to change the concept of cadres in the system about the private economy, and I don't want to help you do these things all day long." Besides, not every cadre is as honest and dedicated as Ren Feihan, and it is better for your company to do it yourself in the matter of selecting talents. ”

"Haha, can I understand that Director Wang encouraged me to dig into the corners of state-owned enterprises?" Qin Hai asked half-jokingly.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Wang Hongsheng's face, and he said, "How could I want you to dig the corners of the country?" But the reality doesn't allow me to be too optimistic. In the past few years, state-owned enterprises have suffered losses on a large scale, and this is due to policy reasons, as well as the blind command of some local leaders and enterprise leaders. We're trying to reverse that, but there are some things that we struggle to do.

In my opinion, instead of letting the experienced managers of these loss-making enterprises go back to the institutions to retire, it is better to let them transfer to a dynamic private enterprise like your Daqin Group to continue to play a role. You should admit that state-owned enterprises have cultivated a considerable number of talents over the years. ”

"I see." Qin Hai nodded, indicating that he understood what Wang Hongsheng meant.

Two years ago, Qin Hai poached a large number of technicians from various universities and research institutes to establish Anhe Institute of Materials. Now he has formed a huge technical reserve, but he is facing the crisis of insufficient management talents. The cultivation of management talents is even more difficult than the cultivation of technical talents, because managing an enterprise requires not only professional knowledge, but also long-term experience. Since China's private economy is still in its infancy, the only way to find experienced management personnel is to go to the old state-owned enterprises.

From Wang Hongsheng's point of view, of course, he does not want to see talents in state-owned enterprises poached by private enterprises. But he also knew that after the speech of the chief designer Nanfang, China would move towards a market economy in an all-round way, and many state-owned enterprises that were originally protected by the planned system would face market screening. In this process, of course, there will be a number of companies that stand out and become the best in the market, but there will also be some companies that will be eliminated and face bankruptcy.

Wang Hongsheng is not a person with rigid thinking, he can accept the result of this survival of the fittest, and knows that this is a process of big waves and sands. The only thing he could not give up was the skilled workers, technicians, and management teams in these old state-owned enterprises, which were an important resource for the country's industrial development.

Wang Hongsheng was inspired by the recommendation of Ren Feihan to be the director of Jintang Petrochemical, and felt that it was a good practice to transfer talents that could not be accommodated in state-owned enterprises to the private economy. Whether it is a state-run economy or a private economy, in the final analysis, it is China's own national economy, and the palms and backs of the hands are all meat.

Of course, as an official of the State Planning Commission, Wang Hongsheng could not take the initiative to promote this matter, but could only give Qin Hai some advice and let Qin Hai do this work himself. Qin Hai is a smart person in ice and snow, hearing Wang Hongsheng say this, can he still not know what to do?

It is very unrealistic to expect state ministries and commissions to directly introduce cadres from state-owned enterprises to Daqin Group, after all, ministries and commissions cannot dismantle their own platforms. What's more, the cadres recommended by the ministry are uneven, and Qin Hai may not be willing to accept them all. The way Wang Hongsheng pointed out to him was to let him use market means to tap talents, which Qin Hai was very familiar with.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction work of Jintang Petrochemical was vigorously launched. The construction team jointly composed of several large domestic petrochemical machinery enterprises was stationed in Jintang and started construction in full swing at the construction site of several square kilometers. Around Jintang Petrochemical, Jintang City has opened up a chemical materials park, which plans to attract dozens of chemical materials enterprises to settle in and build Jintang into the leading chemical materials production base in China. This is an afterthought, and there is no need to elaborate.

After Qin Hai stayed at the project site for a few days, he said goodbye to Ren Feihan, Ning Mo, Xia Yangjie and others, and hurried to the capital. He received a long-distance call from Wang Hongsheng, saying that there was a change in the steel market that had just been opened, and it was estimated that the steel market defense battle that would start in a few months would probably start in advance.
