"Why, Lao Yu, you don't want to tell me that you want to change your career to polyester, do you?"
Gao Fan asked tentatively.
But Yu Guorong asked: "Brother Gao, do you think this business is worth doing?"
"I'm just a student, how do I know?" Gao Fan chuckled and avoided Yu Guorong's question.
In fact, he wanted to say directly, "I'm still a child," but thinking about it, Yu Guorong definitely doesn't understand this kind of future generations' jokes. If he really said this, it would be a very cold joke.
Yu Guorong pretended to be dissatisfied and said:
"Brother Gao, why do you need to dress up in front of me? Now in Renqiao, I dare not say everyone, at least the people who are in the chemical industry. Who doesn't know that Chen Linfa and his son have climbed up to Maolin Province?
Because of a relationship with a prodigy, now my fingers are covered with calluses from counting money every day.
"You said you are a student, and I am still a farmer. This old man who is celebrating the New Year came here to ask you for advice, why can't you give me some advice?"
How can Gao Fan be easily fooled? He smiled and said: "If Mr. Yu wants to say this, then I really don't dare to stay in this room anymore. There is still soup simmering on the stove at home. I
I have to go back and take a look quickly."
He said this, but his butt seemed to be stuck to the stool, and he showed no intention of leaving in a hurry.
Yu Guorong then knew what Gao Fan was thinking. He sighed and said, "Oh, I, Old Yu, am convinced by Manager Gao's job. To be honest, after hearing Mr. Pan say it last time, I really
I'm a little excited.
"I have heard people say that the polyester equipment in our Shuinan Huanglan Chemical Plant has a production capacity of 60,000 tons per year, and the investment is more than 500 million yuan. The investment for one ton of production capacity is 10,000 yuan.
"The device developed by Chief Engineer Pan and his colleagues only costs 12 million yuan for 5,000 tons, and the joint cost is only 2,400 yuan per ton, which is four times the difference.
"In terms of production costs, I also heard from Mr. Pan. He said that the raw material input is about the same, but the water consumption, electricity consumption and labor are more than double that of Huang Lan's device.
"I did a rough calculation. According to the data given by Mr. Pan, taking into account the depreciation of the equipment, the price of polyester produced by small equipment will not be more expensive than the polyester produced by Huanglan Chemical Plant. This is the beginning.
.”
Gao Fan and Yu Guorong were fighting each other just to let Yu Guorong express his thoughts first. Now that he heard this, he stopped being pretentious and asked seriously: "You mean, you have polyester
sales?"
"That's great!" Yu Guorong said, "Brother Gao, you're not a plastic product manufacturer. You don't know how in short supply polyester is now. In fact, it's not just polyester, it's polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, that's it.
Let me tell you, no matter what kind of plastic it is, it is in very short supply.
"When I open this plastic products factory, half of my energy is spent on raw materials. As long as I have the raw materials on hand, I can sell them at a higher price."
"I see."
Gao Fan nodded.
Most of the polyester produced by Huanglan Chemical Plant is used to produce polyester, and only a small part is used to produce plastic products, which are divided into bottle flakes for manufacturing packaging materials and diaphragms for making films, tapes, etc.
.
In recent years, people's living standards have improved, and the consumption of beverages and packaged foods has continued to increase, which has brought about strong demand for polyester packaging materials. At the same time, the domestic supply of polyester is very limited, and the supply and demand
The contradiction is very serious.
Yu Guorong himself makes plastic products, so he naturally knows this situation. For businessmen, the existence of a contradiction between supply and demand means the existence of excess profits.
Previously, Yu Guorong did not feel that he had the ability to obtain a large amount of polyester bottle flakes. Some of the polyester bottle flakes he obtained through connections were only enough for his own company to produce, and he was not willing to resell them on the market.
But the information Pan Yue revealed to him allowed him to see an opportunity, which was to enter the field of polyester production. The unit cost of polyester produced by small-scale polyester equipment is no higher than that of large-scale equipment, which means that the polyester he produced
The ester is equivalent to the cost price of Huanglan Chemical Plant.
He can add some premium on top of the market price, and then sell it to his former colleagues, making much more money than he does now making plastic products.
The advantage of being in the upstream industry is that the competition is not as fierce as in the downstream industry. For a long time, it can be said that there is no problem of market competition at all, and you can make money on your own.
The investment for a set of equipment in Huanglan Chemical Plant is nearly 600 million, which Yu Guorong dare not think of. The investment for the small polyester device developed by Pan Yue is only 12 million, which is within the reach of Yu Guorong
.
"Old Yu, I can't tell. You actually have such a huge net worth and invested 12 million yuan, but you just took it out casually." Gao Fan said in a joking tone.
Yu Guorong quickly clarified: "No, no, brother Gao, you misunderstood. I don't have any wealth. I just thought that if this business can be done, I will find some friends and let's work together. This place in Renqiao,
There are still some rich people who can scrape together 12 million, so I still have some confidence."
"So, what about the raw materials?" Gao Fan asked again, "We need to produce polyester. Now the country mainly relies on imports. How can you get the raw materials?"
The so-called PTA is purified terephthalic acid, and EG is ethylene glycol, which are the two main raw materials for the production of polyester. To produce one ton of polyester, approximately 10,000 and 100,000 terephthalic acid are needed, both of which are petrochemical products. China's technology in this area is very backward.
, domestic products are almost entirely imported.
The development of China's synthetic fiber production technology has gone through a long and tortuous process. At first, synthetic fiber raw materials were completely dependent on imports. Later, through independent construction and technology introduction, independent polyester (pet) production capabilities were formed, but for
However, PTA, the main raw material for the production of polyester, is mainly imported.
Later, China began to build PTA equipment on a large scale, realizing import substitution to a large extent. But then the raw material px needed to produce PTA, that is, paraxylene, needed to be imported from abroad.
China then began to build px devices. By the time Gao Fan traveled through time, domestic px production had reached a large scale and it had gotten rid of its dependence on imports.
As for the upper-level raw material of px, that is, crude oil, we can only rely on God to provide food. China has limited oil reserves under its feet and can only import them from abroad. There is nothing to say.
China's polyester industry chain is gradually developing from the downstream to the upstream. Each time a level is solved, part of the premium paid to foreign countries can be reduced. However, at this time, China has just begun to pursue the independence of polyester.
Production can't be taken care of for the moment.
