This meeting was very harmonious. Liao Derong agreed that as long as the Department of Chemical Industry could issue a letter to the design institute, he would go to Cangtang to complete the research on the vitamin synthesis process and be responsible for subsequent production guidance.
More specific technical issues were not something that needed to be discussed at this time. After a brief exchange with Liao Derong, Gao Fan and He Jinbao left together.
Liao Derong and his wife both sent Gao Fan and his entourage downstairs to the unit, and said many polite words. Gao Fan could feel the joy of the couple.
“It’s really a great experience.”
Walking out of the family courtyard of the Design Institute, Gao Fan muttered to He Jinbao.
"Well, people nowadays are all like this. Haven't you heard someone say that everything is about money? It's money." He Jinbao echoed with deep feeling.
Gao Fan said: "Distribution according to work, more work will get more. For people like Lao Liao, who have skills and can create value, I am willing to give him 200 yuan a month. But I have to turn such a corner.
They say it doesn't violate the principles, but in fact, isn't this just deceiving others?"
He Jinbao said: "There is no way, the system is stipulated in this way. The system in our enterprise is a little more flexible, but in places like the design institute, the system is very strict."
"That's all we can do." Gao Fan sighed. He knew that it was still at the beginning of the system transformation, and no one dared to move too fast. In two or three years, the policy would become more relaxed, and everyone would
No need to do things in such a secretive manner anymore.
"By the way, Xiaofan, I just heard you and Gong Liao say that the vitamin you want to produce can earn 10,000 US dollars per ton. You want to build a device with an annual output of 100 tons. Doesn't this mean
Can you earn 1 million US dollars a year?" He Jinbao asked.
Gao Fan nodded: "The majority is so much. If Lao Liao can develop the rare earth catalyst, the synthesis efficiency can be improved, and the profit per ton can be increased to 120,000 US dollars, or even 150,000 US dollars. 100 tons is 150
Ten thousand dollars.”
"You said that the vitamins you produce will be sold abroad?"
"Yes. Because the raw materials for producing vitamins are now completely dependent on imports. If we can't sell the finished products abroad, the Chemical Industry Department will definitely not support us."
"With foreign technology so advanced, will they buy the vitamins produced by us?" He Jinbao asked a question that had been on his mind for a while.
Gao Fan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Uncle He, I really don't know how to answer your question. Let me give you an example. The meal tickets used in our factory canteen are from the towns over Shuinan.
Produced by enterprises. In fact, the technology for processing this kind of PVC food stamps is very easy. If our fertilizer factory wants to do it, we can do it. But why do we still buy it from Shuinan?"
He Jinbao took it for granted and said: "How much profit can be made from a few meal tickets? How can a company as big as our fertilizer factory produce such a small product?"
Gao Fan spread his hands and said: "That's the truth. 100 tons of vitamins can earn more than 1 million US dollars. It is a big business for us, but for large foreign chemical companies, can it be attractive to them?
?”
"You mean, foreigners are not willing to produce this thing?" He Jinbao understood. As the director of the office, he usually has to do procurement and sales work, and he is still somewhat sensitive to this issue.
Gao Fan said: "Foreign chemical giants, their annual sales can reach tens of billions of dollars, and their business is only a few million dollars, but they don't take it seriously. There are many types of vitamins, among which the market demand for vitamins is
At the most, several large pharmaceutical companies will open a special production facility for production.
"But things like clan, clan, clan, etc. are generally produced by small and medium-sized enterprises. The premise for them to produce these products is that the market price is high enough, and they can obtain relatively high profit margins. If we can suppress the price, let these products
When the profit margin of products drops, foreign small and medium-sized enterprises will give up these products.
"After all, there are so many chemical products, and Western companies must choose those that are the most profitable. If they don't make much money, they will give up."
Gao Fan said this because he carried the memory of his previous life. In the era before he traveled, China occupied a large market share in aspects such as vitamins, raw materials, amino acids, etc. The reason is that China
Enterprises' production costs are lower, thus compressing the profit margins of these products. Foreign enterprises feel that the production of these products is unprofitable, so they give up the market.
However, in this life, China's chemical industry has not yet reached the technical level and production scale of later generations, and has almost no presence in the international market. He Jinbao feels that it is impossible for foreigners to buy Chinese chemical products, which makes sense.
"The vitamin product is definitely marketable. However, I don't have a clue yet on how to contact foreign customers," Gao Fan said.
"Can you contact that foreign guest from Japan named Bei Dao or something and ask him to help you sell it?" He Jinbao suggested.
"That Japanese man's name is Kitajima Masanobu." Gao Fan said, "I do plan to contact him to see if he can help introduce a Japanese drug dealer. However, I can't take care of this matter right now, Liao Derong
If I agree to go to Cangtang, I have to prepare to build a vitamin synthesis device.
"The investment for this set of equipment requires 2 million. Our labor service company cannot afford that much money now, so we can only borrow money from the bank. I also have to ask the Chemical Industry Department to help us clear the relationship with the bank."
"Xiaofan, why do I feel that you are too busy?" He Jinbao said with a smile.
"What can we do?" Gao Fan said with a bitter smile, "Other people in the labor service company have no experience. If you leave it to them to do things like loans and opening up foreign markets, they will definitely not be able to get it.
.”
He Jinbao asked: "You didn't think about asking Director Gao to find some old comrades from the fertilizer factory to help you?"
Gao Fan shook his head: "I'm afraid we can't count on this. The capable people in the factory also have work on their hands. Now the factory is engaged in ammonium urea treatment and is very busy. They will definitely not be able to leave. As for the people who have no ability.
, even if you give it to me, I won’t take it.”
"Have you never thought of finding a few people from outside the factory?" He Jinbao continued to ask.
"Outside the factory?" Gao Fan was stunned, "Uncle He, do you have any suitable people you can recommend to me?"
He Jinbao smiled and said: "I'm just a little clerk. I don't know any suitable people. I just thought of someone who I thought I could invite to help you run errands."
"who?"
"Director Gu of the Science and Technology Commission."
