After discussing with Yang Kai what to do next, Gao Fan left the office building.
In the next few days, Gao Fan had nothing to do, so he went to the library every day to read information. The accumulation of knowledge he showed was so incredible that if he went to the library for a few days, he would have an explanation for the future.
In addition, he also needs to understand the current status of chemical research at home and abroad in this era, and ensure that what he does is not too out of touch with the times.
While reading in the library, he met an acquaintance, Xia Shihui from the Department of Geology. When the two met face to face at the door of the reading room, they actually said in unison:
"Hey, why are you back?"
Gao Fan said this purely as a subconscious reaction. He remembered that before the holiday last semester, he went back to school to take the final exam and accidentally chatted with someone about Xia Shihui. Others told him that Xia Shihui went out with the teacher to do geological surveys. Therefore, in
In his imagination, Xia Shihui should be absent from school all year round like him.
"Why are you so evil and complain first!"
Xia Shihui rolled her eyes at Gao Fan dissatisfied and said.
"Why is it that the evildoer complained first?"
Gao Fan asked with a smile. For some reason, he felt that talking to this girl was quite casual, as if we were all very close friends. But thinking about it carefully, in fact, he and Xia Shihui had only had a few contacts in total. Maybe this
It's that feeling of falling in love at first sight.
Xia Shihui wrinkled her nose and said: "I have basically been in school this semester. In April, I went to the northwest with Teacher Feng and stayed for two weeks. On the other hand, you didn't come to school for the whole semester. Now I ask you.
Why am I back? Doesn't this mean that the evildoer complained first?"
"Ha, I made a mistake." Gao Fan said with a smile, "Inspired by you, I applied for an exemption from the department. I have been staying in my hometown this semester. I thought you were not in school either."
"I applied for exemption to help the teacher. Although I don't have to go to class, I am busier every day than in class. Who is like you? You are a good college student who skipped classes and went back to work as a self-employed businessman. I heard that you have become a millionaire.
."
Xia Shihui said the latter sentence in a joking tone.
People were coming and going at the door of the reading room, and it was not a place for chatting. The two of them were talking and unknowingly left the library and came to the Weiming Lake.
"Who is making up these rumors about me?" Gao Fan casually stroked the hanging branches of the willow tree by the lake and said, "I also went to help the teacher with work, okay? Teacher Hai from our department is at my house during this time.
In that factory, he plans to transform an ammonia synthesis unit that our factory has phased out into a coal chemical unit, and I have been helping him."
This is confusing right and wrong. It was indeed Gao Fan who helped Hai Qingwen transform the coal chemical plant, but Gao Fan provided the funds needed for the transformation instead of helping Hai Qingwen with the work himself, or even
He also took advantage of Hai Qingwen and asked Hai Qingwen to design a vitamin C device for him.
However, Xia Shihui was distracted by Gao Fan. She nodded and said, "That's it. It seems that everyone went wrong when spreading the news. The girls here said that Gao Fan from the Department of Chemistry went home to be self-employed.
Now, we have set up a very big factory."
Hearing what she said, Gao Fan couldn't bear it anymore. For such an innocent little girl, she just made up a lie and she believed it to be true. Is it really appropriate for him to deceive her like this?
"The thing about setting up a factory is true." Gao Fan began to make up for it. "I met a deputy minister of the Ministry of Chemical Industry on the train. He gave me a task and asked me to go home and get a resettlement.
A pilot project for unemployed youth.
"So, I transformed the labor service company in our factory into a factory that produces chemical cleaning agents. The products have been sold to Japan. If everything goes well this year, it will probably generate US$8 million in foreign exchange income."
"You actually have such ability!" Xia Shihui's eyes widened and she looked at Gao Fan with a feeling of disbelief.
"This... is not a big skill, right?" Gao Fan said, "The main thing is to come up with a new formula, which just fills a gap in the Japanese market.
"The purchasing power of Japanese people is still very strong. A product worth US$8 million is nothing to a country with a population of more than 100 million."
"But, do you know how many mines we have to sell to get back 8 million US dollars in foreign exchange?"
Mines, or the addition of new proven reserves, the latter sentence often refers to how much new export-earning foreign exchange capacity can be formed.
"We always say that China has a vast land and abundant resources, but every time we find something good, we have to give priority to selling it to foreigners just to exchange for foreign exchange. It really makes people feel useless."
"This..." Gao Fan was speechless for a moment, thought for a while, and then comforted, "This kind of thing is inevitable. After all, we are still very backward. All walks of life need to introduce advanced equipment from abroad, and the ability to earn foreign exchange through exports is...
It’s very limited, so we can only sell the ore.”
"Of course I understand this." Xia Shihui said, "That's why I think you are amazing. You can actually earn foreign exchange for the country, and you have more than 8 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the foreign exchange earned by a small mine."
"This is nothing!" Gao Fan was somewhat proud of being praised by Xia Shihui. He said, "I am currently preparing a set of vitamin C production equipment. After this equipment is put into production, all products will be exported, and I can earn at least 30 million yuan a year.
Dollar."
"Really? What kind of minerals are needed to produce vitamin C?" Xia Shihui kept saying the same thing.
"No minerals are needed, just some grain is needed to ferment it into glucose, and then the glucose is used to synthesize vitamin C." Gao Fan explained.
"That's great!" Xia Shihui said, "So your chemistry department is so good? If I had known it, I would have studied chemistry too."
Gao Fan said: "That's not necessary. Geology is still very important. We engage in chemical industry and need many kinds of mineral raw materials. In fact, underground mines are originally meant to serve people. Our current processing and utilization capacity of the mines is too low.
, exporting ore directly would be more disadvantageous.
"It would also be great if we could process the ore and produce high value-added industrial products for export."
"Yeah, you're right." Xia Shihui praised, "By the way, Gao Fan, if you need any ore in the future, just tell me and I will be responsible for finding it for you. As for how to process the ore after you find it, I'll leave it to you.
.
"We can establish a cooperative relationship and become a front-end and back-end process."
"No problem, happy cooperation!" Gao Fan smiled and extended a hand, as if it was a business cooperation.
Xia Shihui stretched out her hand without any shyness and shook Gao Fan's hand. Gao Fan felt that her hand was not as soft as an ordinary girl's hand, but rather had some strength.
