Hearing Gao Fan's words, Yu Guorong burst into a smile and said repeatedly:
"That's great! I've known for a long time that General Engineer Pan is our most amazing chemical expert in Shuinan, and the things he has built under his leadership will definitely be fine. Now that Gao Fan has said so, I am completely relieved.
Already."
His words were somewhat embarrassing to say. While complimenting Pan Yue for his high level, he also wanted to drag Gao Fan out to endorse Pan Yue. The subtext still meant that he did not trust Pan Yue enough. However, there was nothing he could do about it.
, he did not trust the technology of hydrochemical equipment enough before, and now he wants to deny it, which is naturally not easy.
Pan Yue was too lazy to argue with Yu Guorong. After receiving Gao Fan's affirmation, he became more modest and said: "There is no problem putting this design into production, but there is still a big gap in efficiency compared with imported devices.
There are many gaps. I think there are many areas that can be improved, but time is really tight and funds are limited..."
"General Engineer Pan doesn't need to be too harsh on himself." Gao Fan advised, "After all, we are still a developing country. Technically, we should first solve the problem of 'is it possible', and then consider the problem of 'is it good or not'. That's it now.
As for this design, the biggest advantage is the low cost, the investment per ton of polyester is only 2,000 yuan, which fully meets the requirements put forward by Minister Zheng last year."
Pan Yue finally had some smile lines on his face. He sighed and said, "Yes, with Director Yu's equipment, I have an explanation for Minister Zheng. To be honest, in the past year,
I don't sleep well every day, for fear that if Minister Zheng sends someone to check, I won't be able to come up with anything and I will be embarrassed."
"Based on the current progress, when will the equipment be put into production?" Gao Fan asked.
"Before the Spring Festival next year." Pan Yue said.
"Director Yu, has the problem of raw materials been solved?" Gao Fan asked Yu Guorong again.
Yu Guorong nodded, thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "For this matter, we applied to the Planning Commission through the Regional Second Lighting Bureau. The Planning Commission wanted to see the polyethylene we produced first.
Only when finished ester products can we apply to the provincial foreign trade department for imported raw materials.”
Gao Fan was stunned: "Without raw materials, how can you produce finished products?"
Pan Yue said: "The Department of Chemical Industry has negotiated with Huanglan Chemical Factory and first loaned a batch of PTA and EG from Huanglan Chemical Factory to Guoguang Chemical Factory, mainly to test the feasibility of a small polyester device."
"Gao Fan, do you have time to come over and attend the commissioning ceremony before the Spring Festival next year?" Yu Guorong asked enthusiastically.
Gao Fan shook his head: "That's embarrassing. Before next year's Spring Festival, we also have a set of equipment that will be put into production. I came up with the overall design idea for that set of equipment, so I probably have to keep an eye on it."
"I heard from people in your company that they want to build a set of vitamin equipment, right?" Yu Guorong said.
His factory has been producing detergent bottles for export to Japan for Canghua Technology and Trade. In the past half year, he has gone to Cangtang several times and had some contact with Xie Qin and Xue Chujiang, so he has no idea about Canghua Technology and Trade.
Things are somewhat understood.
"What vitamins? Why are you making vitamins again?" Pan Yue had never heard of this matter, so he asked casually after hearing the two of them talking lively. He remembered that the last time Gao Fan came to him, he wanted to ask for help.
Japan exported detergents, why did it come up with vitamins now?
"Vitamin C, a device with an annual output of 5,000 tons." Gao Fan replied.
"A vitamin device with an annual output of 5,000 tons? Then the investment... wouldn't be several hundred million?" Pan Yue blurted out, with some horror in his eyes.
He once spent some time in the Information Department of the Department of Chemical Industry. Although he spent all his time fishing, he still read a lot of various chemical journals ordered by the Department of Chemical Industry. In his memory, he once read about the production of vitamin C.
According to the device literature, we know that the investment for a 5,000-ton device is hundreds of millions.
He felt a little heartbroken when he thought that the small polyester device he had worked hard for more than half a year had only invested more than 10 million yuan, but Gao Fan was actually working on a project with an investment of more than 100 million yuan.
"We have adopted some new processes that can simplify the design, and the investment does not require that much. Calculated in RMB, it is less than 50 million." Gao Fan said.
This vitamin C device uses a loan of US$25 million provided by the Hatch Group. At the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to only 50 million yuan. However, considering the underestimation of the exchange rate, the actual value of this loan is almost as much as
It’s about 100 million yuan.
Pan Yue keenly grasped the information "calculated in RMB" in Gao Fan's words and asked: "You mean, your equipment is imported from abroad?"
Gao Fan said: "We are using loans from the United States. Some equipment will be ordered from the United States, and some equipment needs to import key components and some raw materials from the United States and then manufacture them domestically."
“Which company should I find in China to manufacture?”
"Of course it's the Maohua Machine."
"Does Maohua Machine have such ability?" Pan Yue asked subconsciously, and then said with some hindsight, "So, you helped Maohua Machine to establish a joint venture with American companies just for this matter.
?”
Hydrochemical equipment and Maolin machinery are the largest chemical machinery factories in Shuinan and Maolin provinces respectively, and they know each other somewhat. Shuinan's economy is better than Maolin, so the technical strength of water chemical equipment has always been better than that of Maolin.
The Maohua Machine is stronger. In Pan Yue's heart, he doesn't like the Maohua Machine.
But for such a company, which is not as good as water chemical equipment, there was news a few months ago that it was going to form a joint venture with a chemical machinery factory in the United States. Pan Yue met Yang Jinglin, the chief engineer of Mao Chemical Machinery, at an industry meeting and asked about it.
, the other party was in high spirits, and boasted to him that the American manufacturer was willing to provide as many advanced equipment as possible to the Maohua Chemical Machinery, and would also send technical experts over for guidance and so on.
Pan Yue is a knowledgeable person. When Yang Jinglin told some of the names of the equipment and the production process that the United States promised to transfer, he knew that the Maohua machine was really a treasure. If these technologies could be digested and absorbed, the level of the Maohua machine would be
In turn, go beyond hydration.
"The first time I came into contact with the Odin Factory in the United States was indeed for this vitamin device. Later, I planned to hand over the manufacturing of this device to Maohua Machinery, so that they could use this opportunity to digest the technology transferred from the United States.
" Gao Fan explained.
"With the strength of the Maohua Machine, don't suffer from indigestion then." Pan Yue muttered, with a strong sour taste in his words.
Gao Fan chuckled and said: "General Manager Pan, in fact, I came to Shuinan this time for another purpose, which is to hire you as a project consultant for our Canghua Technology and Trade, responsible for supervising Maohua Machinery to manufacture this set of equipment for us.
Regarding the production process of vitamin equipment, I don’t know if Mr. Pan is interested in it.”
