The restructuring of Canghua Technology and Trading Company is both vigorous and uneventful.
To say vigorously means that the province attaches great importance to this matter. Provincial leaders personally instructed and attended the restructuring celebration. Many media in the province reported it. The titles and text did not hesitate to use terms such as "reform pioneer" and "bravely forge a new road".
Kind words of praise.
To say it is ordinary means that the cadres and workers of Canghai Fertilizer Factory and the unemployed young people in the company did not have much reaction to this matter. Most people did not realize what this restructuring meant.
Gu Kunquan, who entered the role in advance, gave the unemployed young people a pot of ecstasy, telling them that after the company was restructured, it would be more free in operations, and everyone would get higher wages and more bonuses, so everyone forgot about Gao Fan's appointment.
At the beginning, I promised to give everyone dividends.
In this era, corporate dividends are an unfamiliar concept, and everyone is more willing to understand it as a bonus with a specific name. Since dividends are bonuses, and the new Mr. Gu said that the bonuses will be higher in the future, what else do you have?
What can be said?
The issuance of 20% of employee stocks did not cause any waves. Under Gao Yiping's operation, all employees in the factory bought a few shares. Most of them regarded this as a kind of savings, thinking of selling it back to them one day in the future.
Just the factory will do.
Of course, there are also some employees who are smarter and more courageous, and they will secretly buy a few more shares, hoping that Canghua Company will receive more dividends when it develops.
For Gao Fan, the restructuring of Canghua Company has two direct impacts. First, he has more autonomy and no longer has to consult the fertilizer factory affairs committee for everything.
Agree; the second thing is that he finally has a capable subordinate, Gu Kunquan, who is willing to give up his position as deputy director of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission to become the executive vice president of the company.
"Lao Gu, what do you think about the project of synthesizing vitamin E?"
After finishing the company's restructuring work, Gao Fan invited Gu Kunquan to his office alone and asked him.
"Xiao Gao, I haven't been idle about this matter for a while, and I didn't bother to ask you seriously. I want to know why you chose such a project?" Gu Kunquan asked.
Everyone was stirring in the same pot, so they called each other casually. After Gao Fan had in-depth contact with Gu Kunquan for a period of time, he found that although this man was a bit arrogant, he had a very good personality.
There is no official pretensions developed in the agency at all, and he can talk to a half-year-old child on an equal footing.
"Actually, I chose the vitamin project at random." Gao Fan answered honestly, "I know some of the technology of synthetic vitamins, and I also noticed that the Chemical Engineering Design Institute, which is actually Liao Dequan, has the control
A new process for synthesizing vitamin E can reduce costs by more than 20% compared to existing foreign processes, so I thought I could give it a try."
"I chose it at will..." Gu Kunquan put his hand on his forehead, expressing disbelief. He sighed and said: "My little CEO, this is an investment of more than 2 million yuan, and you actually said that you chose it at will. You
How can you be sure that this project will succeed? If the project fails or fails to meet expectations, how are you going to make up for the investment of more than 2 million?"
"How is this possible!" Gao Fan blurted out.
In later generations, China's vitamin exports were booming, and it almost had a monopoly in the vitamin market. Gao Fan's current plan is to produce just 100 tons of vitamin E, so why can't he sell it?
However, in this case, Gao Fan could not tell Gu Kunquan. He organized his words and said to Gu Kunquan:
"Lao Gu, let me tell you, it is impossible for this project to fail. The vitamin market is a big market for us, but in the international chemical market, it is just a very inconspicuous small market. Those international chemical giants
I don't pay much attention to this market.
"As long as our products are cheaper than foreign products, then pharmaceutical companies in the United States, Germany, and Japan will purchase our raw vitamin powder. And the original vitamin manufacturers will not particularly care. Because losing such a market will be a big blow to them.
It’s inconsequential, they can just switch to producing other products.”
"This is just your imagination." Gu Kunquan said, "You have to know how difficult it is for our country's companies to sell a product abroad. They often fail to sell it even if they sell it at a reduced price. How dare you guarantee it?
Will foreign countries buy our original vitamin powder?"
Gao Fan smiled and said: "Lao Gu, the situation you are talking about is that those companies do not understand the international market. In fact, Western countries are now engaged in industrial transfer, and some industries with relatively low profits are being transferred to developing countries. People are eager for help.
They produce these products only if you can produce them with decent quality and an advantage in price."
"The industrial transfer you mentioned was discussed by experts from the School of Administration when I was at the Science and Technology Commission. However, they were talking about the transfer of industries from Western countries to the Four Asian Tigers. Compared with the Four Asian Tigers, our country is still
Is there some difference?" Gu Kunquan said.
Gao Fan shook his head: "Old Gu, you don't know something. It is true that Western industries are transferring to the Four Asian Tigers, but the Four Asian Tigers are only so small in size. How can they be able to transfer all the industries from the West?
Eat it?
"The United States plus Western Europe has a population of six to seven billion. Can the four Asian tigers, which have less than 100 million people, be able to take on such a large market?"
"That's the truth..." Gu Kunquan nodded thoughtfully and accepted Gao Fan's explanation.
Gu Kunquan is the kind of person who is extremely active in thinking. He stays in the office but always wants to make big news. From some of the country's policies, he judged that the country was going to be fully open, so he came up with the idea of making a big news in this big news.
The idea of making achievements in the era is why he took the initiative to apply to be the deputy general manager of Canghua Company.
Of course, he was not brave enough to leave everything behind and go to sea. He came to Canghua Company in the name of a temporary job, that is, he retained his establishment and position in the Science and Technology Commission. He took an official letter from the Provincial Economic Commission and went to Canghua Company.
He asked Canghua Chemical Company to assist in the work. If Canghua Company fails to develop in the future, he can still return to the Science and Technology Commission to serve as an iron rice bowl.
"However, even though you say this, when it comes to the vitamin product, how confident are you that you can successfully sell it?" Gu Kunquan asked.
"What guarantee do you need me to give you?" Gao Fan asked.
Gu Kunquan said: "This is not just a matter of giving me a guarantee, but if we want to apply for a loan from a bank, we need approval from the relevant departments. If the amount is one to two hundred thousand, a guarantee from the fertilizer factory is enough.
But the loan amount you want is more than 2 million. I am afraid that the Chemical Industry Department cannot make the final decision on this amount. It needs the approval of the Provincial Economic Commission.
"In order for the Provincial Economic Commission to agree to our loan of 2 million, you need to give the Provincial Economic Commission a guarantee. For example, you can get realistic orders to prove that the products you produce can be exported and earn foreign exchange."
"A realistic order..."
Gao Fan pondered, and he suddenly realized that he had indeed been a little impulsive before. The aroma of wine is also afraid of the alley. In this era, there are really some obstacles for Chinese companies to sell their products abroad.
