353 Venture Capital Funds

Hanhua Waterjet Co., Ltd. is a joint venture established by Hanhua Heavy Industries and the Propulsion Research Institute of the Naval Ship Research Institute according to the agreement between Lin Zhenhua and Liu Xianghai. In order to facilitate the researchers of the Propulsion Institute to participate in the company's technical research work, the company is located in Shanghai. Hanhua Heavy Industry sent a middle-level cadre named Li Hui to serve as the general manager of the company, responsible for daily management, and the propeller institute sent Chang Qingbo and others to participate in the management work.

The total investment of the water jet propulsion company is more than 10 million yuan, all of which are provided by Hanhua Heavy Industry. The equity distribution between the two parties is 60% owned by Hanhua Heavy Industries and 40% by Propulsion. However, since the technology of the waterjet propulsion is in the military industry, the articles of association stipulate that when encountering major matters involving national defense and security, the decision-making power belongs to the propulsion institute.

The reason why Lin Zhenhua invested in the establishment of the waterjet company is that he is optimistic about the application prospects of waterjet technology. This technology is also in the growth period in the world, although China's start is later than the United States, New Zealand and other countries, but the distance behind is not far behind, if there is enough investment, coupled with the strong scientific research capabilities of Liu Xianghai's team as a support, Lin Zhenhua believes that it will eventually be able to catch up and occupy the commanding heights in this field.

The conversion of military technology to civilian use was still in its infancy in China at that time. Zhang Zhifang, Minister of the Naval Equipment Department, gave strong support to this, so that the establishment of the waterjet company basically did not encounter any obstacles, and the related technology transfer work also progressed very smoothly. The project started at the beginning of last year, and now there is a civilian version of the finalized product, and it is actively looking for buyers.

As a top-notch technician at Hanhua Heavy Industries, Yang Wenyong has also been sent to a waterjet company to assist in product assembly, so he has a deeper understanding of this product. Therefore, he gave a detailed briefing on the relevant situation to several cadres of the Dongliao Shipyard at the dinner table.

"Your Manager Lin is really too discerning." After listening to Yang Wenyong's introduction, Yang Guotao couldn't help but sigh, "I have read the information, the water jet is the most promising ship product in the next few decades, and you can enter the field of water jet thruster here, which is equivalent to grabbing the first hand in the future development." The most profitable thing in the whole water jet ship is the thruster, and in the future, we will be such a shipyard, but we will be cattle and horses for you. ”

When Ben Youxin heard Yang Guotao's emotion, he was so proud in his heart. He was the business manager of a machine tool company, and he didn't know much about the waterjet side of things. However, as a middle-level cadre of the entire Hanhua Heavy Industry, he had also heard about it, but he did not expect that this market would have such a brilliant future at that time. He followed Yang Guotao's words and said: "Director Yang, this is not me bragging, our Manager Lin's vision is indeed incomparable to ordinary people." However, if Director Yang is interested in this thing, I can report to Manager Lin, and you can talk together to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation. ”

"That's great." Yang Guotao said, "Manager Jie, then please bring a message to Manager Lin, just say that our Dongliao Shipyard has a great interest in waterjet propulsion ships, if possible, we hope to establish a close cooperative relationship with your waterjet propulsion company." ”

The original intention of this meal was to thank Hanlu Machine Tool Company for helping to repair machine tools, but who knew that there was such a thing as a waterjet propulsion during the banquet, which was an unexpected gain for Yang Guotao. Part of the Dongliao shipyard's business is to build small ships of several hundred tons, and if waterjet propulsion technology can be introduced, it is entirely possible for the Dongliao shipyard to develop a series of new ship products, and these products are entirely likely to occupy a place in the international market. If this can really be done, this is a major event related to the development strategy of Dongliao Shipyard.

"Okay, I'll bring the words." Cen Youxin patted his chest and agreed, he knew that Lin Zhenhua would definitely be interested in this matter. Lin Zhenhua has never been the kind of person who likes to eat alone, but whenever there is a good project, he will work hard to find partners and jointly expand the market.

Just when Cen Youxin was actively developing business in Dongliao Shipyard, Lin Zhenhua was walking on the embankment with Hong Yu'an, the mayor of Qiyang, talking about the development plan of Qiyang. Xiang Zhe, assistant general manager of Hanhua Heavy Industries, and several officials from Qiyang City followed not far behind them, also talking about topics of interest.

"Manager Lin, your business of Hanhua Heavy Industry is really getting bigger and bigger, this development zone, two years ago, was still a wasteland, and now so many factories have been built." Hong Yu'an pointed to the development zone below the river embankment and said to Lin Zhenhua.

A few years ago, the two of them also stood in this place, pointing out the country and drawing the blueprint for the construction of the economic and technological development zone. In the blink of an eye, it has become a prosperous industrial area, not only a large area of Hanhua Heavy Industry has been built, but also those enterprises that support Hanhua Heavy Industry have developed one by one, each with its own factory. With the development of industry, the service industry has gradually penetrated, and several commercial streets have begun to take shape.

Hearing Hong Yu'an's emotion, Lin Zhenhua smiled and flattered: "This is all thanks to Mayor Hong's wise leadership." ”

Hong Yu'an laughed: "Manager Lin, you can't say it sincerely, I really haven't contributed much to the development of your Hanhua Heavy Industry, and I feel ashamed to say it." ”

"Mayor Hong provided us with land and solved the labor problem for us. Now there are nearly 10,000 workers in Hanhua Heavy Industry, and the supply of vegetables alone is a big problem. Lin Zhenhua said.

"That's what we're supposed to do." Hong Yu'an said, and then he asked with concern: "Manager Lin, in the next step, do you Hanhua Heavy Industry have any big moves, and say it so that our city can be prepared?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Mayor Hong, I came to see you today because I have something to discuss with you. However, this matter is not only a matter of our Hanhua Heavy Industries, but a major event related to the development of Qiyang City. ”

Lin Zhenhua's words can be regarded as extremely arrogant, in front of the mayor, saying that there are major matters related to the development of the city to discuss with the mayor, I really don't know who is in charge of the city However, Hong Yu'an has no disgust at this, and now the output value of Hanhua Heavy Industry accounts for more than forty percent of the industrial output value of the entire Qiyang City, Lin Zhenhua stomped the floor of the Qiyang Municipal Government and trembled.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Hong Yu'an said, "Every time I communicate with Manager Lin, I can have some surprises, this time, what good news do you bring us?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Mayor Hong, at the end of last year, I led a delegation of our company to the United States, and after I came back, I made a report to some of my leaders of the State System Reform Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and suggested that an economic and trade delegation be organized to contact manufacturing enterprises in the United States to undertake the outsourcing production of products. Recently, I received news that the state has approved this plan, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade is starting to organize enterprises to participate in this representative. ”

"Are you saying that we in Qiyang City should also organize enterprises to actively strive for this opportunity?" Hong Yu'an asked, as the saying goes, you don't need to beat the drum with a hammer, Hong Yu'an is also a very knowledgeable official, Lin Zhenhua just reminded him that he understood what Lin Zhenhua meant.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Exactly. To undertake the outsourcing production of foreign products, transportation is a very big problem. The products are manufactured in China, the raw materials have to be shipped from the United States, and the finished products have to be shipped back to the United States, and the transportation costs are all spread out in the cost of the products. Now we can undertake this kind of business, are coastal industrial zones with maritime advantages, I think, our Qiyang City is close to the Yangtze River, sea vessels can go directly to Qiyang Port, so we also have coastal transportation advantages, can become an important export processing trade zone. ”

Hong Yu'an said: "It's good for you to think this, but we don't have so many export-oriented enterprises at present, what business can we undertake?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "No matter what the business, let's get it first." Now is a very important period of opportunity, China's foreign trade processing industry layout has not yet taken shape, foreign countries have not formed the inertia of thinking. At this time, we are going to strive for foreign trade processing orders, and the obstacles are relatively small. We need to establish a 'Made in Qiyang, brand) in foreign businessmen at this time, and they will become accustomed to naturally cooperating with our Qiyang enterprises in the future. ”

"You have a point." Hong Yu'an nodded, "Tell me, what should we do?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Now in our economic and technological development zone, there are dozens of enterprises supporting our Hanhua heavy industry, after two or three years of running-in, they have formed a certain economic and technological strength, which can allow them to go abroad and participate in a wider range of competition." In addition, some of the large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in Qiyang City have a certain strength, and the city can also encourage them to participate in the overseas bidding activities organized by the state. ”

"This is no problem, I will ask the comrades of the industrial port to come up with a plan when I go back." Hong Yu'an said.

Lin Zhenhua continued: "In fact, there are many outsourcing projects that do not require much capital and equipment investment in terms of scale, such as toy manufacturing, clothing processing, etc., which are very suitable for individual entrepreneurship. I suggest that our Qiyang Municipal Government establish an entrepreneurial park, encourage and support capable and courageous individuals to establish entrepreneurial enterprises in the park, complete the original accumulation of capital through foreign trade orders, and then develop on this basis. ”

"That's an interesting thought." Hong Yu'an nodded.

The plan proposed by Lin Zhenhua is very attractive to Hong Yu'an. The small supporting enterprises recruited by Hanhua Heavy Industry have now begun to take shape, which is obvious to all. Today, China is in a period of rapid industrial development, as long as some seeds are planted, the future will be able to reap fruitful results.

Hong Yu'an is also a person with great ambitions, and it is easy to reach some consensus with Lin Zhenhua on this point.

"But even these small projects still need some start-up capital, right? Where does all this start-up capital come from? Hong Yu'an asked.

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Mayor Hong, a small garment factory or a small toy factory, with an investment of more than 100,000 yuan, our municipal government won't even be able to take out the money, right?" ”

Hong Yu'an said: "How can this money come from the city government? Isn't that in the name of fiscal spending? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course, it is not from the municipal government, what I am saying is that the municipal government and banks will cooperate to engage in some small entrepreneurial credit and provide start-up capital for qualified entrepreneurs, which should be possible, right?" ”

Hong Yu'an shook his head and said, "This is also difficult. Manager Lin, you may not know very well that since last year, the entire national economy has shown signs of overheating. At the beginning of this year, the state proposed to tighten the scale of loans and strictly control them. Let's not talk about starting a business now, and even paying wages for loans to loss-making enterprises depends on the bank's face. ”

Lin Zhenhua actually knew about this situation for a long time, he pretended to be helpless, and said: "It's a pity, it was a good opportunity, alas, there is no money to do it." ”

Hong Yu'an has dealt with Lin Zhenhua for many years, and knows that Lin Zhenhua is a smart person, and he will not say any nonsense easily. However, he did not break through Lin Zhenhua's disguise, but pretended to be sincere, and said: "Manager Lin, you see, now that our municipal government is in difficulty, is it possible for you Hanhua Heavy Industry to share a little difficulty for us?" ”

Lin Zhenhua frowned and said: "This is not easy, our group company has recently had several big moves, in the near future, we may have to acquire Jiangshi Power in Nandu, which also needs to occupy a lot of funds, so our funds are also very tight." ”

"No matter how nervous you are, you're better than our government, aren't you?" Hong Yu'an said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "This is also true, if you have to squeeze out, you should be able to squeeze out some funds." However, it should be the responsibility of the government to engage in such a thing as a start-up fund, and our enterprises can't go over the snipe, right? ”

"I'll borrow it from you, can I? What collateral you need, we can all discuss. Hong Yu'an said, he expected that Lin Zhenhua's pretense was nothing more than to fight for some conditions, and he decided to listen to it first.

Sure enough, Lin Zhenhua came to the spirit, he said: "The loan is exempt, we are industrial enterprises and can't grab the jobs of financial enterprises." However, we Hanhua Heavy Industries recently have an investment plan, and want to build a deep-water port next to the existing Qiyang Port, which belongs to our Hanhua Heavy Industries, with a cargo yard in the port area, which needs to occupy about 1,000 acres of land. We intend to pay 10 million to buy this 1,000 acres of land, what does Mayor Hong think? ”

"Haha, so you're waiting for me here." Hong Yu'an laughed, "Okay, tell me which piece of land you want?" ”

Lin Zhenhua turned his head and beckoned to Xiang Zhe behind him, Xiang Zhe ran forward, took out a map from the bag in his hand, and handed it to Lin Zhenhua. The construction of a deep-water port is a major initiative of GCA Heavy Industries, and with the expansion of the company's scale and the increasing volume of products and raw materials, it is necessary to have a port of its own. Today, Lin Zhenhua asked Hong Yu'an to take a walk on the river embankment, just to implement this matter.

Lin Zhenhua spread out the map and pointed it out to Hong Yu'an: "Mayor Hong, look, this is it." ”

Hong Yu'an looked at the map, raised his eyes and looked at the port in the distance, compared the location in reality, and then said: "Your vision is good, this is indeed a good place to build a deep-water port, but you want to spend 10 million to take out 1,000 acres of land, it's too dark, right?" In the past two years, the price of land in Qiyang has risen rapidly, and it is far from the price when you took the land. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Mayor Hong, you can't say that. If we hadn't taken out this, 10,000 acres of land, the land price in Qiyang would not have been able to rise. The price of land has risen with the development of industry, and the income from the sale of land by our municipal government in recent years can be a share of our Hanhua Heavy Industry. ”

"Well, even if you have a hard time, you can't take advantage of us like this, can you? I can give you this 1,000 acres of land, but in terms of land price, it can only be determined after evaluation. Hong Yu'an said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Okay, just have Mayor Hong's words, and we can still negotiate the land price." ”

Hong Yu'an promised: "Your company is willing to invest in the construction of the port, which is a good thing, and our municipal government will strongly support it." In terms of land price, we will give a reasonable level, and we will definitely not let you suffer. ”

"Okay, in terms of funding, we at Hanhua Heavy Industries will definitely not embarrass the municipal government. If the city government needs it, we can pay 5 million yuan first to help the city government build up the start-up fund. Lin Zhenhua said, "Now the national economic and trade delegation is estimated to be formed soon, and we need to step up in this regard." ”

Hong Yu'an said: "Manager Lin, send the Buddha to the west, the matter of the entrepreneurship fund, since you proposed it, you can simply manage it on behalf of our municipal government, to be honest, our government is definitely not as good as your experts in the economy."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Okay, this matter is left to us Hanhua, we still have some experience in supporting small and medium-sized enterprises." ”

"One more thing." Hong Yu'an said, "This time the trade delegation organized by the state, you Hanhua will send personnel as representatives of our Qiyang City to the United States to get a batch of orders back." I don't want much, as long as you can build 50 export-oriented enterprises for me, I guarantee your land needs to build a port. ”

"A word?" Lin Zhenhua said.

"It's a deal!" Hong Yu'an said affirmatively.

…… Today's update is only 5,000 words, which is almost less. In addition, the day before yesterday in the chapter "Vertical Machine Tools", it was written that it was difficult for the assembler to grasp the strength when he screwed the nut. A reader reminded me that there is actually a "torque wrench" in the industry. "It can automatically set the torque when the nut is screwed, and once the specified force is screwed, it will sound a prompt, or automatically bend an angle, so that there will be no problems with the assembly quality due to the difference in the feel of the worker. I checked, this torque wrench was invented in 1942, and it has been widely used in various assembly fields, which is orange ignorance, and I hereby explain and apologize. The novel is written in 1988, I don't know if the use of this torque wrench is common, everyone should be a small bug. Finally, I sighed that industrial knowledge is so broad and profound, and Orange, as a liberal arts monk, is really a frog at the bottom of the well, and readers are welcome to criticize the mistakes in the Orange Book. …… There is another sentence, the chapter "Naval Battle" written yesterday coincides with the old anniversary of the 314 Naval Battle, and I would like to pay tribute to the heroes who defended the motherland's maritime frontier.
