Chapter 718 Nie Zhenbang’s Decision

> Bisphenol A?

Regarding this, Nie Zhenbang is a complete layman, whether in his previous life or this life. Nie Zhenbang didn't know much about things in the chemical industry.

However, Nie Zhenbang has some impression of this term. He remembers that in his previous life, he heard that it was forbidden to be used in baby bottles.

Look at the man with glasses in front of you. Nie Zhenbang smiled and said: "Comrade, what is your position at the Red Star Factory? Can you explain to me in detail, bisphenol A? What is the prospect of this kind of chemical product at home and in the world?"

The governor asked him his name. As soon as Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, many people in the Red Star Factory showed envy on their faces. If they performed well and were attracted by the province, their future would be worry-free in this life.

Next to him, Liu Zhenxiang, the director of the Red Star Factory, also said: "Provincial Governor, Comrade Li Weihong, a doctoral student who graduated from Huazhong University in chemical engineering. He is the chief engineer of our Red Star Factory."

This also surprised Nie Zhenbang. There were such talented students in the Red Star Factory. Why couldn't they do a good job in production? However, Nie Zhenbang also understood something when he saw the leadership team of the Red Star Factory next to him. As the saying goes, one soldier is raging, and a general is raging in a nest. Liu Zhenxiang, the director of the Red Star Factory, is a pretty good person. Is it possible? It's hard to compliment. Such people are found in factories with good profits. If he didn't worry about sales, he would be a good leader. However, in the Red Star Factory, under this situation, he lacked the ability to turn the tide.

Immediately, he looked at Li Weihong and said: "Comrade Weihong, please give me some popular science. What is this bisphenol A used for? How is the sales going?"

Li Weihong nodded. This person has a common problem among bookworms. He is not very good at dealing with others. However, when it comes to his profession, he can talk eloquently.

"Governor, bisphenol A is an important organic chemical raw material, an important derivative of phenol and acetone. It is mainly used to produce polycarbonate, epoxy resin, polysulfone resin, polyphenylene ether resin, unsaturated polyester resin, etc. A kind of polymer material. It can also be used to produce plasticizers, flame retardants, antioxidants, heat stabilizers, rubber antioxidants, pesticides, coatings and other fine chemical products." Li Weihong talks about his professional knowledge with great clarity. arrive.

After a pause, Li Weihong continued: "The existing equipment of our Hongxing Factory can produce phenol and acetone. However, in terms of production technology, there is a big gap compared with world-class chemical companies. Production The cost is also a bit expensive. Basically, according to the current market price, we will lose money. However, if we can introduce equipment.

Improve processes. Not to mention surpassing similar companies in the world, it is still possible to reach this level. "

When it comes to introducing equipment, the conference room suddenly became quiet. Everyone present knew it, especially the leaders of Tianfu City. Red Star Factory has said this every year for so many years. Two hundred million yuan was invested, but the effect was not much. Now, when it comes to the introduction of equipment, it really feels like a certain pot is not being used.

Li Weihong seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing. He was a little embarrassed and seemed a little cautious and said: "Governor, as for the sales, I don't know much about it."

These words made Nie Zhenbang stunned. Now, I finally feel my pulse. With such a leader and such a chief engineer, it would be strange for Hongxing Factory not to lose money. Any enterprise cannot ignore the market or go off the rails of the market. If the product has no sales, it will only suffer losses. It is obvious that Li Weihong is a bookworm who only understands technology and does not understand the market.

On the other hand, Liu Liangang next to him was hesitant to speak. Nie Zhenbang saw this scene and said immediately: "Comrade Liu Liangang, you seem to have something to say?"

Hearing Nie Zhenbang's order, Liu Liangang also nodded and said: "Governor, I know something. Bisphenol A is mainly used in the epoxy resin industry. The domestic demand is huge. Most of it comes from imports. In addition, in fact, phenol acetone The demand is also very high. However, the technology of our factory is not up to standard. Production is losing money. That’s why we gave up this aspect of production.”

After hearing this, Nie Zhenbang also understood somewhat. Nie Zhenbang did not understand the professional technical knowledge in industry, or in other words, Nie Zhenbang did not need to learn it. However, Nie Zhenbang understood the economic relationship here.

Today, the situation of the Red Star Factory is that it has been a fight over the years. The production equipment and technology of the Red Star Factory have been improved a lot, and it is also able to produce products that are in demand in the market. However, because the technology or craftsmanship is not up to standard. The cost is high and does not match the world’s mainstream products and selling prices.

To use an analogy. They all produce a piece of cloth. Others use advanced technology to produce a piece of cloth at a cost of only 100 yuan. If they sell it for 200 yuan, they will make money. However, it costs more than 200 yuan for the Red Star Factory to produce a piece of cloth. The quality is the same. If you sell it for three hundred, no one will want it. If you sell it for two hundred, you will lose money. The more you produce, the more you lose. The key to success is technology. If technology and equipment improve. The products of the Red Star Factory can fill the domestic gap. Still promising. However, the key here is money.

Now, the Mitsui Company probably values ​​this, so it dares to speak so loudly. Judging from Mitsui's attitude, Nie Zhenbang estimates that even if it needs to continue to invest, the funds will not be too much. If there are too many, Mitsui Company might as well build a new factory. There is no need to go to such trouble to acquire it.

Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang said: "The General Secretary has always emphasized that science and technology are the primary productive forces. This is indeed true. From the issue of the Red Star Factory, I saw a microcosm. Domestic. Many companies are losing money, not Because the employees are not hard-working, the most important constraint is technology. Mr. Li, let me ask. Based on the existing equipment conditions of the Red Star Factory, can you estimate how much capital and equipment are needed to reach the level of the same industry? Instead of talking about the production of bisphenol A, let’s talk about the production of phenol and acetone.”

Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, but next to him, Tang Bingquan came over and whispered: "Governor, the current situation in Tianfu City is also very difficult. Although the revenue of the municipal finance is large, the stalls in Tianfu City are also big, not Many companies need money, as well as infrastructure construction. They need to invest in education, medical care and civil affairs. The Red Star Factory is really unsustainable."

Nie Zhenbang could also understand Tang Bingquan's words. From the perspective of Tianfu City, so much has been invested in this stall at the Red Star Factory. Bank loans are guaranteed by the Tianfu Municipal Government. The Hongxing Factory is not the only factory in Tianfu City. There are more monks and less meat. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, so you can't blindly favor the Red Star Factory. If you do, big trouble will happen.

Immediately, Nie Zhenbang also smiled and said: "Comrade Bingquan, please be patient. Let's first listen to what Comrade Li Weihong has to say."

At this moment, Li Weihong probably made some calculations in his mind. After a while, he nodded and said: "Governor, if you want to reach international standards, you must invest at least 100 million in technical transformation funds on the existing basis. In this case. I have We are confident that the Red Star Factory can be built to produce 50,000 tons of resorcinol annually.”

"How much is the current price of resorcinol per ton?" Nie Zhenbang is always concerned about the economic ledger.

This time Li Weihong understood and replied: "The current market price of resorcinol is 41,000 tons. After the technical transformation, the production cost, including workers' wages, is about 28,000. The profit of one ton is 10,000 yuan per ton." Between ten thousand.”

Nie Zhenbang also began to think deeply at this moment, earning 10,000 yuan per ton. If it is 10,000 tons, the annual profit will be 100 million. In other words, Red Star Factory can turn losses into profits within one year.

Of course, this is just an estimate on paper. Really operate it. It's hard to say. For any company, not only technology can solve problems, but also the leadership ability of the company team, the establishment and ability of the company's sales channels, these are all very important factors. It is also possible that after investing funds, the products produced will not be sold, or, if sold, the money will not be returned.

If the Red Star Factory is to be reborn as a phoenix, it will not only require investment in technical transformation, but also the replacement of the team of the Red Star Factory. The shareholding system of enterprises must also be restructured. Only by turning the Red Star Factory into a collective shareholding system can workers be motivated. The team has cohesion. UU reading www. uukanshu.net Of course, Nie Zhenbang also believes that Tianfu City can do these things well.

Is it a top priority now? It is to veto Mitsui's purchase. Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang made a decision and said: "Comrade Bingquan, Comrade Jianzhang. I think this Red Star Factory still has great potential. The existing land of the Red Star Factory is itself a resource.

I think this will be led by the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Guaranteed by the provincial government. Allocate 100 million funds from the provincial finance. In the name of Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission's shareholding. In conjunction with the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Red Star Factory was restructured into a joint-stock company. Reduce the current total assets of the Red Star Factory. All total liabilities are consolidated. Motivate employees to subscribe for shares. Hongxing Chemical Co., Ltd. was established. I believe that the company's leadership team will be elected through public opinion elections among employees. Since there is no problem with the product, the future of the Red Star Factory is definitely not a problem either. "

After a pause, Nie Zhenbang said decisively: "In addition, I think Tianfu City can inform Japan Mitsui Company to terminate the negotiation."

As soon as Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside. At the door, several Japanese people stood at the door with unhappy expressions. The look in his eyes was very arrogant. He said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Governor. I feel sad for the ignorant decision of you Chinese people. Using your technology and cooperating with us is the only way out. Otherwise, you will only have a dead end."
