"The 5,000-ton polyester device should be a specification that has been eliminated abroad, right?" Zheng Linong frowned and said, "Xiao Gao, do you think we still need to develop a device of this specification?"
Gao Fan chuckled, looked at Pan Yue, and asked, "What do you think, Director Pan?"
Pan Yue couldn't understand the old man and the young man.
The older one seems a little too courteous and virtuous, while the younger one seems too arrogant.
Just now, Gao Fan didn't discuss it with him and directly arranged a job for him. He said that he would be the chief engineer of Hua'an Company and that he would take the lead in developing a 5,000-ton device.
Pan Yue thought at first that these words were told by Zheng Linong to Gao Fan, and he was still muttering in his heart. He didn't know why a deputy minister like Zheng Linong asked others to pass the message. Could it be that if he said it directly, he would still dare to stab him?
Now listening to the conversation between these two people, Pan Yue realized that after a long time of quarrel, Gao Fan was really acting as his substitute and arranged for him on his own initiative.
What the hell is this?
Pan Yue roared in his heart.
But no matter how many alpacas he had in his heart, Pan Yue could not quarrel with Gao Fan in front of Zheng Linong. When Gao Fan asked him, he said: "The 5,000-ton device has indeed been eliminated abroad. Our Chemical Industry Department originally
I thought about building one or two sets of 5,000-ton units, but now that a 60,000-ton yellowing unit has been introduced, there is no need to build another 5,000-ton unit."
"I think it's very necessary," Gao Fan said.
Zheng Linong has already lit up a cigarette, which is a habitual action when he intends to listen to others' reasoning. This action can create a psychological hint for the narrator, that is, the deputy minister is relaxing at this time, and he should say a few more words
, and it will not delay the work of the deputy minister.
On the other hand, if you sit upright and look very serious when someone is speaking, the other person will be easily nervous, fearing that they will say something wrong and that they will regret that the leader pays so much attention to you.
Gao Fan chatted with Zheng Linong on the train to Shuinan, and already knew something about his iconic move. He smiled slightly and said, "Minister Zheng, can you recall how you formed the 5,000-ton
This is an impression that high-level devices are not suitable for our country’s national conditions.”
"Did I say it's not suitable for our country's national conditions?" Zheng Linong was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
He did not say that the 5,000-ton equipment was not suitable for China's national conditions, but he said that equipment of this level had been eliminated and there was no need to develop it anymore. In fact, subconsciously, he felt that it was not suitable for China's national conditions.
Once this point is reflected, a new problem arises. The elimination of 5,000-ton equipment is a foreign trend. How could I easily regard it as a domestic trend?
Seeing Zheng Linong in a daze, Wu Zhefu answered for him: "Xiao Gao, our country has proposed to realize the four modernizations by the end of this century, so technologically integrating with international standards is an inevitable choice.
"Internationally, 5,000-ton polyester plants have been phased out and replaced by plants above 50,000 tons. Large plants have economies of scale, high production efficiency, low energy consumption, stable product quality, and fewer operators. These are all
well known.
“The reason why the country spent so much precious foreign exchange to introduce large-scale polyester equipment is because it saw these advantages.
"At this time, if we spend more energy to develop 5,000-ton devices, it is equivalent to reversing the course of history."
"What Secretary Wu just said about the advantages of equipment above 50,000 tons is correct. So, Secretary Wu thinks, what are the disadvantages of equipment of this level?" Gao Fan asked.
"Disadvantage? The one-time investment is too large and it puts too much pressure on the national finance. This is probably the main disadvantage." Wu Zhefu said.
Gao Fan shook his head and said: "What Secretary Wu said is not complete. The biggest disadvantage of a device above 50,000 tons is its large unit investment. If a 5,000-ton device is used, the investment per ton of polyester production capacity will be up to
It’s only equivalent to 1/6 of a 50,000-ton device, and it’s not impossible to even compress it to 1/10.”
"There is such a big difference!" Zheng Linong asked in surprise.
Gao Fan glanced at Pan Yue. Pan Yue hesitated, nodded, and said: "Minister Zheng, what Xiao Gao said is basically true. When I was in the research institute, I did a rough calculation. If
We design and manufacture a set of 5,000-ton equipment ourselves, with a total investment of about 8 million to 12 million yuan, and the average investment per ton of production capacity is equivalent to 1,600 to 2,400 yuan."
"Xiao Wu, how much is the investment for this 60,000-ton Huanghua equipment?" Zheng Linong asked solemnly.
Wu Zhefu said: "The largest number is 570 million."
"That is, the production capacity is nearly 10,000 yuan per ton." Zheng Linong said.
"The investment per ton of production capacity for the two sets of installations in Nanqing and Qidong is almost the same," Wu Zhefu added.
The investment per ton of polyester production capacity is 10,000 yuan. This is an empirical data in the industry, and Zheng Linong also knows it. He just asked Wu Zhefu for confirmation, just to confirm whether his memory was correct.
If the investment in imported equipment is 10,000 yuan per ton, while the self-developed equipment only costs 1,600 to 2,400 yuan, then the price difference between the two is astonishingly large.
Wu Zhefu just mentioned some advantages of introducing the device. Compared with such a disadvantage, all the advantages are meaningless.
To create the same production capacity of 60,000 tons, it would cost nearly 600 million yuan to introduce equipment, and more than 100 million yuan for domestically produced equipment is enough. You said that domestic equipment has low efficiency and high energy consumption. How much oil can I buy with the more than 400 million yuan I saved?
No matter how high your energy consumption is, will it consume more than 400 million worth of oil?
"Why has no one mentioned this issue in the past?" Zheng Linong asked with a dark face.
What he said was directed at Wu Zhefu and Pan Yue. Both of them were his subordinates. Although Pan Yue was still some distance away from him, if Pan Yue reported the situation to Shuinan Province
The Department of Chemical Industry, and the Shuinan Department of Chemical Industry reported it to the Ministry of Chemical Industry, so why did Zheng Linong only know about this matter now?
"Actually, the cost I just calculated is just a rough estimate. When it is actually manufactured, maybe... the cost will be even greater." Pan Yue explained nonchalantly.
But this explanation is really unconvincing, that is, when the leader asks a question, you have to give an answer regardless of whether it is useful or not.
Gao Fan said: "Minister Zheng, don't blame the comrades below for this matter. After all, our country has not independently manufactured a 5,000-ton device so far.
"Furthermore, this small device generally adopts an intermittent production method, while the introduced large-scale device uses continuous production. There is indeed a big difference in the production efficiency between the two.
"I now recommend the development of 5,000-ton devices. It is estimated that in 20 years, these devices will have to be forcibly eliminated, and it will be a huge waste by then."
