In the following days, Gao Fan took Bob to Wuyuan County again and had the same communication with Pang Zhongmin, the director of Wuyuan Fertilizer Factory.
Pang Zhongmin had already had a phone call with Yin Baowen before and learned about Canghua Science and Technology Trade's requirements and related cooperation conditions. He did not make any detours during the meeting with Gao Fan and others, and readily agreed to various requests made by Gao Fan.
Of course, Gao Fan reciprocated the favor and promised to arrange a suitable position for Pang Zhongmin in the vitamin factory in the future.
Further down, there are further consultations between the Chemical Industry Department, Luping Administrative Office, Yanxiu and Wuyuan county governments and Canghua Technology and Trade, and finally decided that the fertilizer plants in the two counties would cease production, and the factory areas would be taken over by Canghua Technology and Trade to build vitamin C and Canghua Technology and Trade respectively.
Two sets of vitamin E equipment. Some of the employees of the two fertilizer plants are retained, while others are transferred to other units by the county.
Taking into account that the employees of the two fertilizer plants were originally owned by the whole people, while the vitamin factory was a joint venture, the relevant departments agreed that all retained employees could retain the workers' quota of national ownership in the labor bureaus of the two counties, which is equivalent to keeping their jobs without pay.
He went to work in a vitamin factory as someone else, which can be regarded as a unique treatment method of the times.
The demolition and renovation of the old equipment of the two fertilizer plants were carried out by two old factory directors, Yin Baowen and Pang Zhongmin respectively. The manufacture and installation of the vitamin equipment were carried out by Gu Kunquan, Liao Derong and others, and the two young men Gao Fan and Bob
I couldn't get involved. Bob left China and returned to the United States to continue his studies. Gao Fan took his sister Gao Min to Renqiao, Shuinan.
"Gao Fan, you are such a hands-off shopkeeper! Our factory has been producing reflective paint since the beginning of the year, and it's now the end of the year, and you just remembered to come and take a look."
In the office of the director of Xinglong Paint Factory, Chen Xingquan made tea for Gao Fan and his brother, while complaining to Gao Fan with a smile.
Gao Fan smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you are being unreasonable. I went to the United States in June. I originally said that I would take time to visit Shuinan after returning to China, but it turned out that you sold me out. I am a military industrial unit.
You went to our school and recruited me to the research institute with an official letter for several months, and you still had the nerve to criticize me."
"Gao Fan, does this matter have no impact on you?" Chen Linfa, who was holding the title of factory director, asked uneasily. He heard about the details of Gao Fan being seconded to Fenglin Research Institute from Chen Xingquan.
Not sure.
Gao Fan said: "Uncle Chen, it's nothing. They just heard that I had some research on special resins and asked me to help. I stayed there for a few months and learned a lot. I also got to know each other.
Some experts may be useful in the future."
"As long as it doesn't hinder anything." Chen Linfa nodded and explained for his son, "Xingquan can't do anything about this matter. They are a military industrial unit. When asked about paint production, we have no choice but to say nothing."
Gao Fan waved his hand, dropped the topic, and asked the Chen family and his son: "Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, how is the current business situation of the paint factory? Are there any difficulties?"
Hearing Gao Fan ask about this, Chen Xingquan immediately felt no longer sleepy. He placed the tea he had made for the Gao Fan siblings on the coffee table in front of them, found a stool to sit down on, and introduced him excitedly:
"Gao Fan, our reflective paint is selling like crazy now. When I first went to the highway bureaus in several areas of our province to sell it, those people were still hesitant and said they wanted to try it first. After trying it, everyone
Everyone agreed, and people from other provinces came to visit and said it was better than the reflective paint they imported from Japan, so they all came to our door.
"You still remember what our factory looked like when you came here last year, right? Now look at it, the scale has expanded five times, and we can't even supply the goods despite working overtime every day."
Gao Fan smiled and nodded. When Chen Xingquan picked them up from Renqiao Railway Station today, Gao Fan had already noticed that the current Xinglong Paint Factory was completely different from what he saw when he came last year.
Last year, the paint factory was just a small yard built with old bricks, and the production workshops were just a few small sheds. Now, the size of the yard has expanded several times, and the workshops have become fixed buildings with brick-concrete structures.
The factory director's office where they are staying now is also newly built. It is quite large and the quality of the office furniture and sofas are quite good. It looks a bit like a formal enterprise.
"Is antifouling paint still in production?" Gao Fan asked.
"That's for sure. How can you not do a profitable business?" Chen Xingquan said, "However, the sales volume of antifouling coatings is not as high as last year. There are two companies in Renqiao that have also produced antifouling coatings.
, the effect is a little worse than ours, mainly because it is sold at a low price, and it also robs us of a lot of market."
"What about reflective paint? Are there any others following the trend?" Gao Fan asked again.
"Yes." Chen Xingquan said, "This is the trend here. When they see whose products are selling well, people will follow suit. However, the products produced by those factories that follow the trend are not as good as ours. The Highway Bureau does not
It’s so recognized that it hasn’t threatened our sales for the time being.”
"Those who buy antifouling paint are fishing brigades and private boats, and they care more about price. Reflective paint is bought by the public, and the public still cares about product quality." Chen Linfa explained to Gao Fan.
Gao Fan took out a piece of information, handed it to Chen Xingquan, and said: "Brother Chen, this is a new formula I brought, which can increase the wear resistance of the paint by 20% and make the reflective effect more obvious. You can ask everyone
The highway bureaus all talked about it and said that this is our new generation product, which will be launched in January next year, and the price will remain unchanged, while the price of the old product will be reduced by 10%."
"Is this your new development?" Chen Xingquan took the information, his eyes lit up, and he asked Gao Fan.
Gao Fan said: "I asked teachers from Peking University to help improve this. From now on, we will upgrade our products every year, and the strategy will be the same. After the upgrade, the price will remain unchanged, and the price of the previous generation product will be reduced by 10%."
"This is a good method!" Chen Linfa praised, "We are always one step ahead of others, and it will be difficult for others to follow suit."
Chen Xingquan looked at Gao Fan and asked with a smile: "Gao Fan, do you have a newer generation of products? Do you want to wait until others imitate them before bringing them out?"
Gao Fan spread his hands and said: "Brother Chen has wronged me. Look, how could I be so innocent and naive? It actually takes time for the teachers of Peking University to improve a formula. It only takes one generation a year to upgrade."
That’s almost it.”
He said this, but the expression on his face was something else.
