The decline of the former Soviet Union and its subsequent disintegration were the last feast of the 20th century to divide up the legacy of a great power, and Qin Hai, as a traverser, will naturally not forget it. In fact, he was already secretly preparing a few years ago, but the time was not yet ripe. Recently, there has been more and more news from various sources about the Soviet Union's economic difficulties and social chaos, and Qin Hai knew that it was time for him to take action.

Fan Zhiyuan and Ji Zhenrong all grew up with orthodox education, and they never had such words as "robbing while the fire is hot" in their minds, and of course, they couldn't imagine that they would have to reap any benefits from the collapse of the Soviet Union at this time. Hearing Qin Hai's conclusive words about going to the Soviet Union to introduce talents, they only felt that their brains were dizzy, and they couldn't tell whether Qin Hai's mention was good or bad. However, since Qin Hai said that it was arranged by him, Fan and Ji didn't say much, just prepared the relevant materials according to Qin Hai's instructions.

The so-called relevant materials are actually to collect information about the scientific and technological circles of the Soviet Union and list those talents who are worth recruiting. Huaqing University and the Chemical Design Institute have many old scholars who stayed in the Soviet Union in the 50s, in addition, the Chemical Design Institute was also established with the help of the Soviet Union, and many old people have worked with Soviet experts. Fan Zhiyuan and Ji Zhenrong, all they have to do is to talk to these old people and ask them to provide as many clues as possible related to the Soviet Union.

Qin Hai left after making such arrangements at the Chemical Design Institute, he asked the driver to send him to the vicinity of the Sanli River, and then got out of the car and walked into a small tree-lined courtyard to go to Wang Zheyi's family banquet.

The area around the Sanli River is a well-known concentration area of ministries and commissions, and these small courtyards are the family homes of various ministries and commissions. These family buildings, which were built in the 50s, should have belonged to the most exclusive mansions in the capital at that time, but by the early 90s. It's a bit outdated. Wang Zheyi gave Qin Hai his own building number, unit number, and room number, and Qin Hai came to the door of her house without much effort.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

Qin Hai raised his hand, and just knocked on the door twice, the door opened, and Wang Zheyi's happy smile appeared in the door:

"Qin Hai. There you are? So punctual! ”

"Hehe, when you come to Miss Wang's house for a banquet, of course you have to be on time." Qin Hai replied with a smile.

"Hmph, who doesn't know that Boss Qin now has a full-time driver, if you squeeze the bus, see if you can be on time?" Wang Zheyi teased as he turned sideways and let Qin Hai into the house.

"It's Xiao Qin here, right?" A man in his early 50s appeared behind Wang Zheyi and greeted Qin Hai with a smile.

Wang Zheyi hurriedly introduced Qin Hai: "Qin Hai." This is my dad; …… Dad, this is Qin Hai. ”

"Hello Uncle Wang." Qin Hai politely nodded to Wang Zheyi's father, who had heard Wang Zheyi say that her father's name was Wang Hongsheng and he worked in the State Planning Commission. For this information, Qin Hai was not surprised, those who could live in Sanlihe were naturally the children of the ministries and commissions. Judging from Wang Zheyi's various styles, it is indeed in line with the characteristics of the disciples of the big courtyard.

Wang Hongsheng is like an ordinary organ cadre. He was wearing a somewhat old woolen cardigan, reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a few newspapers in his hands, looking amiable. He nodded to Qin Hai and said, "Zheyi always mentions you and says that you are a business wizard. That's why I've admired you for a long time. ”

Qin Hai said politely: "Don't dare, don't dare, in front of my uncle, I'm just a small character." I have always heard that Uncle works in the State Planning Commission, but our company has never dealt with the Planning Commission in the past, so we have never had the opportunity to visit Uncle Uncle. ”

Wang Hongsheng said: "I heard. If you want to embark on such a large project, you must go to the Planning Commission to set up the project, and then you may become a frequent visitor to our Planning Commission. However, I can make it clear in advance that I am just an ordinary cadre in the Planning Commission, and I have no post or authority, so I can't help you much. ”

"Dad! Who said they asked you for help. Wang Zheyi took his father's hand and complained, "You can't always let guests stand at the door and talk to you, right?" ”

"Oh, I'm confused." Wang Hongsheng seemed to be quite doting on this daughter, and when he heard Wang Zheyi say this, he quickly apologized, "Come on, Xiao Qin, let's go to the living room and sit." ”

Qin Hai followed Wang Hongsheng towards the living room, and at the same time peeked at Wang Zheyi's home. It is a three-bedroom home with a living room of nearly 20 square meters, which is very spacious by the standards of a house at the time. The furnishings in the living room are relatively simple, with a set of cloth sofas, a 21-inch color TV, and several bookcases that occupy an entire wall, which are full of books.

"Come, sit down, you're welcome, when Zheyi was studying in the past, he often brought his classmates to his home to play." Wang Hongsheng himself sat down on a single sofa first, pointed to the other single sofa with his finger, and said to Qin Hai.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Qin Hai thanked him, sat down, and said, "Listen to my sister, my aunt often cooks some delicious food, let Zheyi bring it to her to eat, I thank my uncle and aunt for my sister." ”

Wang Hongsheng said: "This is nothing, the food in the school, I know, when young people are growing up, how can they just eat the school food?" By the way, I heard Zheyi say that the two girls you have passed the exam, one is your sister Qin Shan, and the other is called Ningning, and they are very good at studying. I have been to Anhe many times, and I have also been to your Nord Stream City, which is indeed a place where outstanding people and talented people come out. ”

"Uncle Wang has won the award." Qin Hai said.

Wang Zheyi brought over a cup of tea and put it in front of Qin Hai, then turned around and sat on the couch in the middle, looked at his father, then at Qin Hai, and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about?" ”

"I'm boasting to Uncle Wang that you're smart and capable." Qin Hai said with a smile.

"I don't believe it." Wang Zheyi pursed his lips, "How can you Boss Qin have time to praise an ordinary person like me, you think about big things all day long." By the way, I'm inviting you today, it's not a waste of your time, you can tell my dad about your 800,000 tons of ethylene, my dad knows a few people in the oil system, maybe he can help you with some ideas...... Isn't it, Dad? ”

In the last sentence, she said it to Wang Hongsheng, Wang Hongsheng smiled slightly and said, "What idea can I come up with?" However, I am quite interested in Xiao Qin's idea, if there are no trade secrets involved, I want to listen to Xiao Qin and learn from it. ”

His words were very low-key, but Qin Hai clearly heard some hints from them. Previously, Wang Zheyi did not reveal that his father had any special relationship, but only said that he would invite Qin Hai to his house to sit and have a meal. At this time, she suddenly asked Qin Hai to tell her father about Da Ethylene, obviously her father was able to help Qin Hai in this matter. Qin Hai didn't know what Wang Hongsheng's position was in the Planning Commission, which Wang Zheyi had always kept secret, but as an official of the Planning Commission, there were too many things that could help him.

"Thank you, uncle." Qin Hai said, "Since Uncle asked, then I will report my thoughts to Uncle, and ask Uncle for advice if something is wrong." ”

"Well, you name it." Wang Hongsheng said.

Qin Haidao: "Ethylene is one of the most important basic chemical raw materials, organic chemical products with ethylene as raw materials include polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, ABS, polyester, vinylon, ethylbenzene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, etc., involving all fields of the national economy, which is needless to say. Since 1965, China has achieved a zero breakthrough in ethylene production, and since 1973, it has introduced four sets of 300,000 tons of ethylene plants, plus other small plants, and has now formed an annual output of about 2 million tons of ethylene, ranking ninth in the world.

Compared with developed countries, China's ethylene plant is small in scale and the total output is too low, which is not suitable for a large country with a population of more than 1 billion in China. Moreover, for a long time, China's large-scale ethylene plants have completely relied on imports, which is also incompatible with China's international status. The State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Petroleum, the Ministry of Machinery, the State Council's Heavy Equipment Office and other institutions have been working on the localization of large-scale ethylene plants, but so far the progress has not been satisfactory. ”

"This can't be blamed on the research department, the country has a lot to do, and the localization of ethylene plants is only one of them, and it is impossible to invest too much, which is the main reason for the slow progress of research work." Wang Hongsheng said in a deep voice.

Qin Hai nodded and said, "The reason why Uncle Wang said is very important, my opinion is that the state has no money to do it, can it be done by private institutions?" Uncle Wang may know that because of a coincidence, I have developed several new technologies and accumulated a certain amount of money through exports. So I want to take out a part of the funds I have in hand to support the research of large-scale ethylene plants, as Zheyi has just said, I am asking Huaqing University, Chemical Design Institute and other units to do this work. ”

"What are you doing this for?" Wang Hongsheng asked.

Qin Hai said with a smile: "Let Uncle Wang laugh, I am a businessman, and the purpose of doing things is naturally to make money." I think that there will definitely be a blowout in the demand for ethylene in the Chinese market in the future, and the market demand may not be 2 million tons, but 4 million tons, 10 million tons, or even tens of millions of tons. It's a pity not to occupy such a large market. ”

Wang Hongsheng shook his head and said, "I don't think things are so simple, right?" If you just want to occupy the ethylene market, you can import ethylene plants from abroad, why do you want to do research and development yourself? It's like if you want to eat eggs, you can buy them in the market, but you have to raise a group of hens to lay eggs, isn't that a superfluous thing? (To be continued......)
