The Chen family and his son left together with Yu Guorong, each with a happy mood. After returning to Renqiao, Yu Guorong and Chen Xingquan were not idle. They prepared a lot of local specialties and rushed to the provincial capital to give gifts. Yu Guorong
The person they were looking for was Pan Yue, while Chen Xingquan went to the Provincial Department of Communications. There is no need to go into details about how they used their clever tongue to deceive people.
After sending away this group of guests, Gao Fan had nothing to do. His mental age was far beyond his actual age, and he really couldn't play outside with friends like other children of the same age every day. In addition to playing with different combinations
Apart from playing a few times with some classmates with whom he had good relationships, Gao Fan spent more time at home, thinking about his plans to make a fortune in the coming year.
"Oh, I'm still poor!"
These days, Gao Fan always talks about such a sentiment, and then repeatedly draws the eyes of his mother Ran Yuying and sister Gao Min.
"how much money do you need?"
Taking advantage of the free time during the Spring Festival holiday, Gao Yiping finally had time to sit down and talk to his son. He asked Gao Fan.
"A lot." Gao Fan said, "At Peking University, I plan to use my senior brother Yang Kai and my classmates in our dormitory as the entry point, gradually expand the scope, and finally strive to make the entire chemistry department become my research team.
"As for Professor Hai, I promised to support him with 100,000 yuan a year. In fact, this is just the beginning. I estimate that once his research makes substantial progress, 1 million yuan a year may not be enough to support him.
"The third piece is what I call Canghua Company's Technology Research Center. This is a bottomless pit. There are so many topics I want to study, and no amount of money is enough to invest in it.
"Last time Yu Guorong came and asked me to take a stake in their polyester project. I had to invest at least 1 million, and the money is expected to be spent within this year. It will take half a year for the hydration equipment to develop a small polyester device.
There is enough time, which means that the polyester project will start as soon as the second half of the year."
"Don't you have too many clues?" Gao Yiping frowned and said, "You had no plan for the polyester matter, but as soon as they mentioned it, you agreed to participate in the stock. I think you should still use your ability.
That’s okay, right?”
Gao Fan said: "The polyester project is definitely profitable. If the Renqiao Industrial Bureau can really help them get enough imports, then the project will be able to recover all its investment within two years of being put into production, and it will be a net profit in the future.
"The most important thing is that if Yu Guorong and others succeed, they will be able to set a good demonstration effect. Shuinan is expected to set off a climax in the construction of small polyester, which will promote the development of polyester technology.
"Minister Zheng arranged for Pan Yue to dehydrate the plant just for this matter. The development of small polyester technology can also force foreign manufacturers to lower the price of large polyester equipment, which can save the country hundreds of millions of foreign exchange.
To calculate."
Gao Yiping remained silent. After Gao Fan explained the significance of this matter to this extent, he really couldn't stop it anymore. If this matter can be done, Gao Fan will get great praise from Zheng Linong.
The investment of 1 million in exchange for such a good review is undoubtedly worth it.
After all, this 1 million investment can eventually be recovered, and there will be huge returns in the future.
"So, can the matter at the technology research and development center be slowed down for a while?" Gao Yiping asked again.
Gao Fan said: "This depends on Canghua Company's profitability this year. If the sales of cleaning agents in Japan can reach a higher level, the company will have enough money to support the R&D center. If the sales situation is not ideal, there is nothing we can do.
Already."
"What did Kitajima Masanobu say?" Gao Yiping asked.
Gao Fan shook his head: "He is very optimistic, but I don't dare to believe everything he said. The cleaning agent I developed does not have much technical know-how. If Japanese chemical companies want to develop similar products, it will not be difficult."
Not much. I estimate that this year’s sales volume will only be 1 million bottles, and next year it may not even reach this number.”
"If there are 1 million bottles, based on your profit margin, there will be a gross profit of 5 million, and the retained revenue for your Canghua Company is 3 million, which is really not a small amount." Gao Yiping said.
Gao Fan said: "This money is enough for small things, but it's far from enough if you want to do something serious."
"What serious thing do you want to do?" Gao Yiping asked.
Gao Fan said: "For example, build a 300,000-ton ethylene plant."
Gao Yiping was speechless, and it took him a long while before he finally said, "...your sister is right."
"What did my sister say?"
"She said you were drifting."
"..."
"Xiaofan, do you know how much a 300,000-ton ethylene plant costs?" Gao Yiping asked.
"It's less than 2 billion." Gao Fan said calmly.
Gao Yiping said: "Less than 2 billion... Do you think you can earn 2 billion with your own ability?"
"It's not possible now, but it should be possible in the future." Gao Fan said, "The chemical industry is like this. The investment is big, but the returns are also big. If I can raise 2 billion yuan and build a 300,000-ton ethylene plant in five years,
It takes time to recover the investment, which is equivalent to earning 400 million a year."
"Xiaofan, how big is your heart?" Gao Yiping couldn't help but complain.
Gao Fan said: "Dad, I'm worried. Now is the time when the global chemical industry is developing. We started late, and now we are dragging our feet. In the end, all the industrial opportunities are taken away by others.
"A few days ago, Yu Guorong and I were discussing the issue of polyester production, and I felt very frustrated. We have introduced polyester equipment, but we cannot produce PTA ourselves and almost all rely on imports. When we can solve the problem of PTA production, the raw materials for PTA
PX still has to be imported.
"When we can't produce polyester, the polyester exported to us from abroad is horribly expensive. When we can produce polyester, and they increase the price of PTA, they can still kill us. I dare say, by the time we produce PTA
By then, the price of PX in the international market should increase.
"The wages of our workers are only a few tenths of others' wages because our technology is backward and they charge a technology tax. We are equivalent to being cheap labor for others.
"No matter how you think about this kind of thing, it's outrageous."
"What can be done about this?" Gao Yiping sighed, "Our skills are inferior to others, so of course we can only let others blackmail us. You can't blame us for this kind of thing, after all, we have caught up a lot in recent years."
"I know that we will eventually be able to completely catch up and be on an equal footing with foreigners and will not give them another chance to cut meat. But this process is too long. Since fate has given me such an opportunity, I will shorten this process as much as possible
Time." Gao Fan said.
Gao Yiping was silent for a while and asked: "What do you want to do?"
Gao Fan said: "I have thought about it. After the Chinese New Year, I will go to the Department of Chemical Industry and ask them to help me obtain special policies."
