The decline and subsequent disintegration of the former Soviet Union was the last grand feast of carving up the heritage of great powers in the 20th century. As a time traveler, Qin Hai will naturally not forget it... In fact, he was already doing it in secret a few years ago.
It was just that the time was not yet ripe for preparation. Recently, more and more news came from various channels about the Soviet Union's economic difficulties and social chaos. Qin Hai knew that he should take action.
People like Fan Zhiyuan and Ji Zhenrong all grew up with orthodox education. They never thought of "taking advantage of the situation" in their minds. Of course, they never imagined that they would gain any benefit from going to the Soviet Union that was about to collapse at this time. After hearing Qin Haiyan
He categorically said that he would go to the Soviet Union to introduce talents. They just felt dizzy and couldn't tell whether Qin Hai's proposal was good or bad. However, since Qin Hai said that he would arrange everything, Fan and Ji did not
There’s nothing more to say, I’m just following Qin Hai’s instructions to prepare relevant materials.
The so-called relevant materials are actually to collect information about the Soviet scientific and technological circles and list those talents worth recruiting. Both Huaqing University and the Chemical Engineering Design Institute have many old scholars who studied in the Soviet Union in the 1950s. In addition, the Chemical Engineering Design Institute was also in
It was established with the help of the Soviet Union, and many old people have worked with Soviet experts. What Fan Zhiyuan, Ji Zhenrong and others have to do is to talk to these old people and ask them to provide as many clues related to the Soviet Union as possible.
Qin Hai left after making such arrangements at the Chemical Engineering Design Institute. He asked the driver to take him to the vicinity of Sanli River, and then he got off the car and walked into a small courtyard lined with trees to go to Wang Zheyi.
family dinner.
The Sanli River area is a famous area where ministries and commissions gather. These small courtyards are the family homes of various ministries and commissions. These family buildings, which were built in the 1950s, should have been among the most luxurious mansions in Beijing at the time, but by the early 1990s, they seemed to be...
A little out of date. Wang Zheyi gave Qin Hai her building number, unit number, and room number. Qin Hai came to the door of her house without any effort.
"Tuk tuk..."
Qin Hai raised his hand and just knocked on the door twice when the door opened, revealing Wang Zheyi's delighted smile:
"Qin Hai. Are you here? You're so on time!"
"Haha, of course you have to be on time when you come to Miss Wang's house for the banquet." Qin Hai replied with a smile.
"Huh, who doesn't know that Boss Qin now has a full-time driver? If you squeeze into the bus, will you be on time?" Wang Zheyi teased, turning sideways to let Qin Hai into the house.
"Is Xiao Qin here?" A man in his early 50s appeared behind Wang Zheyi and greeted Qin Hai with a smile.
Wang Zheyi quickly introduced Qin Hai: "Qin Hai. This is my dad;...Dad, this is Qin Hai."
"Hello, Uncle Wang." Qin Hai nodded politely to Wang Zheyi's father. He had heard Wang Zheyi mention that her father's name was Wang Hongsheng, who worked at the State Planning Commission. Qin Hai was not surprised by this information. He could live in
Those from Sanlihe are naturally the children of ministries and commissions. Judging from Wang Zheyi's various styles, they indeed fit the characteristics of the disciples of the big courtyard.
Wang Hongsheng was like an ordinary government cadre. He was wearing a somewhat old woolen cardigan, reading glasses on his nose, and holding a few newspapers in his hand. He looked amiable. He nodded to Qin Hai and said: "Zhe
Mr. Yi mentioned you and said you are a business genius. So I have admired you for a long time."
Qin Hai said politely: "Don't dare, I am just a junior in front of uncle. I have always heard that uncle works in the State Planning Commission, but our company has never dealt with the Planning Commission in the past, so we have never had the opportunity to visit our uncle.
.”
Wang Hongsheng said: "I heard that you are entrusting Huaqing University and the Chemical Engineering Design Institute to design an 800,000-ton ethylene plant. If you want to embark on such a large project, you must go to the Planning Commission to approve the project. Then you may not
You will become a regular visitor to our Planning Committee. However, let me make it clear in advance that I am just an ordinary cadre in the Planning Committee with no position or power, so I can’t help you much. I’ll just show you the door when the time comes.
"
"Dad! Who said I asked you for help?" Wang Zheyi held his father's hand and complained, "You can't always let guests stand at the door and talk to you, right?"
"Oh, I was confused." Wang Hongsheng seemed to be quite doting on his daughter. Hearing what Wang Zheyi said, he quickly apologized, "Come on, Xiao Qin, let's sit in the living room."
Qin Hai followed Wang Hongsheng to the living room, while secretly observing Wang Zheyi's home. It was a three-bedroom house, and the living room was nearly 20 square meters, which was considered very spacious by the residential standards of the year. The furnishings in the living room
It is relatively simple, with a set of fabric-covered sofas, a 21-inch color TV, and several bookcases that take up an entire wall, filled with various books.
"Come, sit down, you're welcome. When Zheyi was studying in the past, he often brought his classmates to his home to play." Wang Hongsheng sat down on a single sofa first, pointing to another single sofa.
Said to Qin Hai.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Qin Hai thanked him, sat down and said, "I heard from my sister that my aunt often makes delicious food and asks Zhe Yi to bring it to her. I would like to thank my uncle and aunt on my sister's behalf.
"
Wang Hongsheng said: "This is nothing. I know about the food in school. When young people are growing up, how can it be enough to just eat school food? By the way, I heard Zheyi say, the two people who passed the exam there are
Two girls, one is your sister Qin Shan, and the other is called Ning Jing. They are both very good in studies. I have been to Anhe many times, and I have also been to your Beixi City. It is indeed a place with outstanding people and talents. "
"Uncle Wang, thank you for the award." Qin Hai said.
Wang Zheyi brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qin Hai. Then he turned around and sat on the couch in the middle. He looked at his father, then at Qin Hai, and asked with a smile: "What are you two talking about?"
"I'm praising Uncle Wang for your intelligence and ability." Qin Hai said with a smile.
"I don't believe it." Wang Zheyi curled his lips, "How can your boss Qin have time to praise an ordinary person like me? You think about big things all day long. By the way, I invited you here today, not to waste your time.
Oh, you can tell my dad about your 800,000 tons of ethylene. My dad knows a few people in the petroleum system, and maybe he can help you with some ideas...right, dad?"
The last sentence she said was directed at Wang Hongsheng. Wang Hongsheng smiled slightly and said: "What ideas can I come up with? However, I am quite interested in Xiao Qin's idea, if it does not involve any commercial secrets.
, I want to listen to Xiao Qin talk and learn."
His words were very low-key, but Qin Hai clearly heard some hints from them. Previously, Wang Zheyi did not reveal any special relationship with his father, but only said that he would invite Qin Hai to his home to sit and have a meal.
At this time, she suddenly asked Qin Hai to tell her father about the large vinyl matter. Obviously her father could help Qin Hai in this matter. Qin Hai didn't know what Wang Hongsheng's position was in the Planning Committee.
Wang Zheyi has always kept this secret, but as an official of the Planning Commission, there are so many places that can help him.
"Thank you, uncle." Qin Hai said, "Since uncle asked, I will report my thoughts to uncle. If I am wrong, I will ask uncle for advice."
"Well, tell me." Wang Hongsheng said.
Qin Haidao: "Ethylene is one of the most important basic chemical raw materials. Organic chemical products using ethylene as raw materials include polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, abs, polyester, vinylon, ethylstyrene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, etc.
, involving all areas of the national economy, needless to say. Our country has achieved zero breakthroughs in ethylene production since 1965. Since 1973, it has introduced four sets of 300,000-ton ethylene units, plus other
The small plant currently has an annual output of approximately 2 million tons of ethylene, ranking ninth in the world.
Compared with developed countries, the scale of my country's ethylene plants is too small and the total output is too low, which is not suitable for a large country with a population of more than 1 billion. Moreover, for a long time, my country's large-scale ethylene plants have relied entirely on imports, which is also inconsistent with my country's It is not suitable for its international status. The State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Petroleum, the Ministry of Machinery, the Major Equipment Office of the State Council and other institutions have been committed to the localization of large-scale ethylene plants, but so far the progress has been unsatisfactory."
"We can't blame the research department for this. There are many things that the country has to do, and the localization of ethylene equipment is just one of them. It is impossible to invest too much. This is the main reason for the slow progress of the research work." Wang Hongsheng said in a deep voice.
Qin Hai nodded and said: "The reason what Uncle Wang said is very important. My opinion is that the country has no money to do it. Can private institutions fund it? Uncle Wang may know that I came up with it by chance.
I have developed several new technologies and accumulated a certain amount of funds through exports. So I want to use part of the funds on hand to support the research of large-scale ethylene plants. Zheyi has just said that I am inviting Huaqing University to study chemical engineering.
Design institutes and other units do this work.”
"What is your purpose for doing this?" Wang Hongsheng asked.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Uncle Wang is laughing, I am a businessman, and the purpose of doing things is naturally to make money. I think that in the future, the demand for ethylene in the Chinese market will definitely have a blowout, and the market demand may not be 2 million by then.
tons, but 4 million tons, 10 million, or even tens of millions of tons. It would be a pity not to capture such a large market."
Wang Hongsheng shook his head and said: "I think things are not that simple, right? If you just want to occupy the ethylene market, you can introduce ethylene equipment from abroad. Why do you want to do research and development yourself? This is like if you want to eat eggs, obviously
You can buy it in the market, but you have to raise a group of hens to lay eggs. Isn’t this unnecessary?” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
