Liu Shuo's words of aunt shocked Qin Hai. With her mother Zong Huiying's age, calling her "eldest sister" in front of Liu Shuo is considered old. How could she be promoted to an aunt in another generation? Fortunately, Zong Huiying
She came from the countryside and was used to being called various people of different generations. In her heart, she recognized that Liu Shuo and others were Qin Hai's friends, so she accepted the call "aunty" calmly.
Qin Hai bowed his hands to Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling and said: "I won't refuse everyone's thoughts. After Brother Liu and Sister Huang go back, I would like to thank everyone on behalf of my whole family. For such a small thing, you made a special trip.
I really feel sorry for you. Since you are here, please stay in Anhe for a few more days, and I will find someone to arrange a car for you to take you to see several famous scenic spots in our province."
"No, no, no." Huang Yanling waved her hands repeatedly, "Director Qin, we can see you, uncle and aunt, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved. We will take the car back to Linxi tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There are still many things in the factory.
By the way, there is one more thing we want to ask Factory Director Qin about during our trip..."
At this point, her tone became a little hesitant, and she kept glancing at Liu Shuo with her eyes, as if she had something she wanted to say but was inconvenient to say.
Qin Minghua frowned slightly. Qin Minghua could completely understand Huang Yanling's pretentiousness. It can be guessed that the main purpose of their visit was actually what Huang Yanling wanted to say, and this matter was obviously likely to make people angry.
Qin Hai felt displeased, that's why Huang Yanling put on such a posture. Thinking further, Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling must have had a tacit understanding on this matter in advance. The current situation has made it clear that they want Huang Yanling to play a bad role.
Liu Shuo acts as a backup and comes out to show off when necessary.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Qin Hai retains the decision-making power of Brothers Ceramics Factory, and major decisions must be approved by Qin Hai. Although the two parties are said to be cooperative, Qin Hai, Liu Shuo and others have only met once, and they play a leading role in it.
Sha Renyuan, who played the role, has passed away. Therefore, if Liu Shuo, Huang Yanling and others have any ideas and want to discuss it with Qin Hai, it will indeed be a bit embarrassing.
Qin Hai is also a smart man, with more than fifty years of experience in his two lives combined. How could he not understand Huang Yanling's thoughts? He smiled and said: "Sister Huang, if you have anything to do, it's okay to say it. We are actually a family.
People, everything is negotiable."
Liu Shuo gave Huang Yanling an affirmative look. Huang Yanling then said with a timid expression: "Director Qin, it's like this. The policy you set for our ceramics factory was to produce industrial ceramics. At present, we
The sales of industrial ceramics are not bad, and the profit is expected to be more than 300,000 yuan this year. However, according to our observation, the market for industrial ceramics is not particularly ideal, so we want to give it a try in the field of civilian ceramics and see if there are any problems.
"
"Is this what you want to say?" Qin Hai was a little surprised. He positioned Brother Ceramics Factory to engage in industrial porcelain. This market is actually very broad, but the current brand influence of the factory is not enough. Many customers don't recognize it.
Brother Ceramics Factory's account, as long as it persists, the final development will be much stronger than that of engaging in civilian porcelain. However, even though he has such an idea, Huang Yanling's idea of developing civilian porcelain is not considered a deviant move, and it is unnecessary.
So uneasy.
"Director Qin, we just thought about it randomly. It doesn't matter if you think it's inappropriate." Huang Yanling hurriedly took back her words.
Qin Hai was speechless. Only then did he realize that there was a deep estrangement between himself and the managers of Brother Ceramics Factory, so much so that they were so cautious even when they gave some business suggestions, for fear of making him feel uncomfortable.
Happy. He thought for a while and said:
"Brother Liu and Sister Huang, maybe the communication between us is too insufficient. This is also my fault. I should go to Linxi more often and chat more together. Then we won't be so unfamiliar. In fact,
Regarding business operations, you are the actual operators and you have full power to make decisions on your own, and I will fully respect your opinions."
"Director Qin misunderstood..." Liu Shuo blushed a little and hesitated:
"Before Uncle Sha left, he told us that major decisions in the factory must be approved by you. The 13 of us family members all swore an oath in front of Uncle Sha's hospital bed. No one will be able to forgive anyone who violates it.
.
We have considered the matter of civilian porcelain for a long time, but are still hesitant. In fact, there are several civilian porcelain factories in Linxi. If we produce civilian porcelain, we may compete with them. Whether we can open up the market, we have no idea. We
Everyone's idea is that if Director Qin can give us some advice to develop several new products that others don't have, then we can do it. If there are no such new products, then we should stick to the industrial porcelain market.
"
Qin Haidao: "I'm very happy that you can actively think of ways to promote the operation of the factory. In the future, you can make suggestions like this at any time. Whether it works or not, we can discuss it together. As for civilian porcelain... My feeling is
, it’s still a little early to do it now.”
"What do you mean early?" Huang Yanling asked strangely.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "I mean, the market for civilian porcelain is actually very limited now. It is just some tableware for household use. This market is not big. When the people become rich and every household buys a new house, it will take a long time.
Use ceramic tiles for decoration and buy various ceramic sanitary ware, then the market is worth investing in."
"Every household buys a new house?" Liu Shuo shook his head without thinking, "I'm afraid it will take decades. Besides, even if the work unit allocates a house, who will buy ceramic tiles to use at home?
?”
Qin Hai smiled and said nothing. People in the mid-to-late 1980s definitely could not have foreseen the home-buying wave in the mid-to-late 90s and the new century. Due to the advent of the national home-buying wave, at the beginning of the new century, China's civilian ceramics experienced a blowout.
General development. However, this market is indeed too early for the current Brother Ceramics Factory.
"Actually, the market for industrial porcelain is quite large. A small steel factory like ours purchases a lot of refractory materials every year." Qin Minghua interjected from the side. He understood the conversation between his son and Liu Shuo, although there were some
Thoughts, but it is not appropriate to speak out at this time, I can only help my son beat the drum.
"Yes, yes. In fact, if we insist on making industrial ceramics, we have a bright future." Liu Shuo decisively rejected Huang Yanling's proposal. This was also discussed before they set off, that is, if Qin Hai did not agree with the development of civilian porcelain,
They will never get entangled, everything will be based on Qin Hai's wishes.
"Yes, we are indeed a little impatient. In fact, this year we can earn at least 300,000 yuan in profit from industrial porcelain. People really can't be too greedy." Huang Yanling said with an apologetic smile.
Liu Shuo also expressed his loyalty: "Director Qin, regarding alumina and zirconia, we will guarantee to provide you with as much as you want. You can rest assured about this. For this, we have also purchased fine-grained alumina.
The ball mill costs a lot, but everyone says it’s worth it.”
"Zirconium oxide..." A thought suddenly flashed through Qin Hai's mind. This was actually something they had discussed just now, but combined with Huang Yanling's idea of transforming into civilian porcelain, Qin Hai keenly grasped an idea.
. He was stunned for a few minutes, then a smile broke out on his face, and he asked Liu Shuo: "Brother Liu, how many nanometers can the zirconia powder produced by our factory be the finest?"
Liu Shuo saw Qin Hai was silent for a long time and thought he was going to say something else. Who knew that he was still asking about zirconia. Although he was a little puzzled, Liu Shuo still answered calmly: "We use alcohol salt water
This method is used to produce zirconia powder, and the minimum particle size can be below 100 nanometers. We don’t have a high-power electron microscope to measure the specific size.”
"100 nanometers is enough." Qin Hai nodded and asked with a smile: "Boy, the idea of developing civilian porcelain you just mentioned is quite good. Just now I suddenly thought of a civilian porcelain product.
It must be technically advanced enough, are you interested in giving it a try?"
Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling exchanged glances. They didn't know whether Qin Hai's words were true or false. Huang Yanling said: "We listen to Director Qin. If you think it can be done, we will do it."
Qin Hai said easily: "The market for this product is very broad, but it is estimated that the domestic market cannot digest it at present, so we can only aim at the international market. The production process is not complicated, and it mainly consists of the nano-scale zirconium dioxide powder we just mentioned.
We need to use a special gel, mix the powder into clay, then stamp it into shape with a stamping machine, and then evaporate the gel through the sintering process..."
As he spoke, he wrote down the process requirements and the ingredients of the gel on a stack of paper he took over. Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling had been managing ceramics factories for a year, and they had some understanding of these process issues.
Hearing this, he knew that this was something he could do. As for that special gel, Qin Hai also said that he would entrust a scientific research company called Haijie Technology Company to develop it as quickly as possible.
"You have to act quickly. It is best to develop it within a month." Qin Hai finally told Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling.
"So urgent?" Liu Shuo was surprised, "Is there any reason?"
Qin Hai smiled and said: "In a month, I will go to Brazil to participate in an international exhibition. If you can take out the finished product, we can go to the exhibition to promote it together. As long as you can meet the performance requirements I mentioned, I won't dare to do more.
Said, I guarantee that our ceramics factory can earn 10 million US dollars a year!"
"10 million U.S. dollars!" Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling's eyes exuded a strange light. Their first reaction was whether they heard it wrong. However, Qin Hai's indifferent expression convinced them that this was not an illusion.
"We will go back to Quwu tomorrow!" the two people said in unison.
