Chapter 962: Resource Utilization

More than a month later, a company called Pantone Technology was established in Shanghai in a very low-key manner.

There are two bosses of this company, one is Sun Yaoliang, the other is Lu Hairong, the company's main business is divided into two parts, one is investment, the other is renewable resource utilization.

The former is easy to understand, this business is basically similar to Shenghua's investment company, mainly seeking suitable companies for angel investment.

Angel investment originated in the United States, born in 1978, although the birth time is not long, but the development speed of these years is very fast, and angel investment has now gradually replaced the original traditional investment, and gradually become the mainstream of the investment community, and Song Yuanchao's Shenghua investment and several investment companies under Shenghua investment, are currently mainly engaged in the same investment work.

As for the latter, it sounds a bit lofty, but in reality it doesn't really sound very good.

The utilization of renewable resources, literally, is nothing more than the acquisition, integration and sale of those resources that can be recycled, so as to obtain benefits. But in fact, this kind of lofty-sounding industry can be described by an easy-to-understand name, which is "collecting rags".

Collecting rags, this is not a new thing for ordinary people, the newspapers, toothpaste skins, glass bottles, metal parts, etc. accumulated at home on weekdays, and so on to a certain extent to send to the scrap station to recycle, or at home to hear someone outside ringing the bell shouting, riding a board car (tricycle) through the streets and alleys to collect rags after the people come, these things to the other party for money.

The process of collecting these things, sorting them into categories, and then selling them to factories that need raw materials and getting them from the price difference, is a process of recycling.

Sun Yaoliang and Lu Hairong are both graduates of prestigious universities, Sun Yaoliang once worked in Sieter, not only the general manager of the sales company, but also the vice president of Site Group. As for Lu Hairong, as a college student who studied abroad after the reform and opening up, he obtained a doctorate overseas, and now teaches at Columbia University, and is the youngest Chinese professor in the business school.

One of these two people is a business elite, and the other is a veritable scholar and expert, and they chose this industry to start a business together, which can not help but surprise people, and even shattered their glasses.

Why are these two people bad? Just dry up the rags? It's unimaginable? It stands to reason that with their experience and connections, even if they are not engaged in real estate, they are also engaged in international trade or something? Collect the rags? Aren't you afraid of losing your identity?

However, others can't care about it, but Song Yuanchao is very optimistic about their choice. Song Yuanchao had to admit that Sun Yaoliang and Lu Hairong had unique ways to start their careers from this perspective, and their choice was the most feasible and successful today.

Don't underestimate the industry of collecting rags, in fact, every industry has the advantages of the industry, and it is not easy to do the industry to the forefront.

With the continuous deepening of reform and opening up in recent years, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, and the development of various industries is not an exaggeration to describe it with each passing day. The rapid development of the economy has also led to the construction of cities, which are now changing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye not only in cities, but also in rural areas, compared to more than a decade ago.

Enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the world's factories have taken on the shape of later generations, with the amount of exports growing and domestic demand rising repeatedly.

Because of this reason, the domestic production of various industries has a huge demand for raw materials, and many raw materials can not be met by domestic supply alone, so most of them can only rely on raw material imports, but the high import price of raw materials, coupled with the growing domestic demand, has led to the international price of many raw materials has been rising, thereby increasing the cost of production.

In this case, the use of renewable resources is an alternative to this demand. Renewable resources can account for a large proportion of the use of many raw materials, including metal renewable resources, such as scrap steel.

In addition, the beverage packaging of fast-moving consumer goods, that is, the production of plastic bottles in renewable resources also accounts for a large proportion, the production of plastic bottles is made of plastic particles, but the production cost of plastic particles is too high, according to the process can be appropriately added a certain proportion of recycled plastic bottles broken plastic sheets as a supplement, so as to reduce production costs.

Of course, the two types of renewable resources mentioned are only a small part, and the utilization of renewable resources is very wide, in addition to these, it also includes the utilization of renewable resources for various products in various other industries, such as paper, glass and so on.

This is a very huge market, its business opportunities are not small, the utilization of renewable resources in foreign countries has become a huge industry, but in the country is still in a very initial stage, the domestic utilization of renewable resources has not yet formed a real professional and scientific and technological structure, Sun Yaoliang they start from this angle, have to admit that the vision is unique.

In the original history, the scale of the renewable resource utilization industry in China did not begin until two or three years later, and its peak reached a peak around 2000. Around 2004, in view of the continuous expansion of the renewable resources industry, some businessmen directly pulled "foreign garbage" from overseas to domestic landfill in order to make profits, resulting in the deterioration of environmental protection.

Taking into account this factor, the policy has restricted the industry, put forward the registration and access system for the enterprises operating in this industry, and set the approval threshold for the operation, which has curbed the disorderly development of the industry, and eliminated a large number of companies that are actually doing foreign garbage recycling for profit under the guise of renewable resource utilization, so as to ensure that environmental protection is not affected.

For the time being, the renewable resources business of Pantone Technology is mainly scrap metal and waste plastics, which are currently the largest demand for domestic resources.

The former, with the rise of real estate and local construction, the scale of iron and steel enterprises around the country continues to expand, coupled with the fact that private capital has begun to enter this industry, but also created the prosperity of steel mills and iron plants, making the demand for ore raw materials continue to grow and gap.

China's iron ore resources are abundant, and it can be one of the best in terms of ore reserves, but because the ore quality content is not high, and the ore contains more other elements, the cost of refining and using is not optimistic. From this point of view, the use of domestic ore can only be used as a supplement in smelting, and the use of imported high-quality ore production is more suitable for production efficiency and cost, which has created an increase in the demand for this resource overseas.

In this case, it is the best choice to partially use renewable resources for refurnace utilization in production, and in foreign countries because of the earlier development of Western countries, resource recovery is also more perfect, especially the United States is known as the country on wheels, the proportion of cars is the highest in the world, and the number of vehicles scrapped and disposed of every year is amazing.

After the scrapping of these vehicles, they are usually directly pressed into iron blocks with a special hydraulic press and then stacked together. Even because of the lack of local government funds, it is not an exaggeration to call many such places "automobile cemeteries", and it is not an exaggeration to see that there are all kinds of scrapped cars exposed to the sun and rain.

In addition, it is the separation of Big Brother, with the accident of Big Brother's family, the world's original two poles have become one pole, and the previous confrontation has also become history, which has led to many changes in the international situation, some military equipment and scrapped cars have become scrap, and no one cares about them there, and even warships and cruise ships have been disassembled in large quantities, so that there are countless similar materials.

In foreign countries, these things are too expensive to dispose of, and the saturation of production is of little value for recycling. But in China it is different, these things that no one wants abroad have become treasures in China, as long as they are purchased at a very small price, and then packaged and shipped back to China, it is an excellent reuse of resources, and the benefits are very huge.

The latter waste plastic is also a similar reason, not to mention the developed countries in Europe and the United States, just say that Japan across the sea in Japan, the number of waste plastic bottles produced in Japan a year is huge, but there is not so much demand in the treatment and recycling, so Japan will worry about the accumulation of waste plastics every year.

In China, with the development of the economy and the continuous growth of the fast-moving consumer goods market, there is a huge demand for such raw materials. There is also a huge commercial interest in transporting these things from Japan and other countries that they do not need and that need to be disposed of urgently to be used as renewable resources in Japan.

After the completion of the company's registration, Sun Yaoliang's office was directly set up in Huhai, but the current office is just a transition, and after the completion of Shenghua's building in Jiangdong, the company will be relocated to Shenghua Building, and Song Yuanchao gave Sun Yaoliang them

An extremely generous price, basically leaving a floor for Pantone Technology at cost price, Sun Yaoliang and Lu Hairong are not hypocritical, for them, this is just a trivial matter, not to mention that when Pantone Technology was established, Song Yuanchao also invested a little money in the company as a shareholder, which can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Lu Hairong soon returned to the United States, this time he will resign from Columbia University, and at the same time will open a branch in the United States, as the branch of Pantone Technology in the United States, mainly responsible for the later business work.

Sun Yaoliang was not idle, recruited and arranged the company's personnel, and after forming the company structure, he took a few people to Japan to negotiate the business of waste plastics and other renewable resources in Japan.

Everything went very smoothly, the business of Pantong was officially launched, only to June, the renewable resources utilization business of Pantong Technology has a very good improvement, relying on several batches of trade in Europe, America and Japan and other places to make huge profits, Pantone Technology not only opened up the situation, but also obtained a large amount of profits, the whole company is thriving, so that Sun Yaoliang is full of ambition.
