Material Empire - v2 Chapter 766

() By the Pu River, on the top of a skyscraper, Bernice, the new chief representative of the China representative office of the German Warren Company, stands by the window, overlooking the entire city, with emotion:

“I didn’t expect that in just 20 years, China could develop to such a degree.”

“Mr. Bernice, have you been to China in the past?” Binderman, the executive director of the representative office, stood beside him and asked respectfully. Binderman has been stationed in China a few years ago and is a China liaison.

“No, this is my first visit to China,” Bernice said, adding: “But I have always been very concerned about this country. I have seen pictures taken by German photojournalists in China in the early years. China at that time … The streets are full of black and blue ants. “

“Ant?” Binderman was puzzled.

Bernice haha ​​laughed: “This is just a metaphor, Mr. Binderman, you should have a sense of humor. The clothes worn by the Chinese in those days were only black and blue. From this height, if you look at it, Like a group of black and blue ants? “

“That was the case.” Binderman nodded. “But now they are very particular about what they wear. China’s consumption of chemical fiber has ranked first in the world for three consecutive years, and so has plastic consumption.”

“This is a market worthy of attention.” Bernice solemnly said, “Whoever captures this market can gain the upper hand in the chemical industry. The group has decided to shift its focus to China in the future, which is also The reason why the Group appointed me as the Chief Representative of the China Representative Office. “

fart! Who doesn’t know it is because the other middle members of the group are unwilling to come to China, so I sent you here, and it seems how important you are, Binderman thought scornfully in his heart, but there was another in his mouth. Routine: “Yes, Mr. Bernice, I believe that the work of the China Representative Office will be better under your leadership.”

Bernice shrugged. Did not take Bindeman’s compliments to heart. He knows that the staff of the Chinese representative office, including Binderman, is not optimistic about him. If he wants to win the conviction of everyone, he can only talk about his achievements.

“Mr. Binderman, please inform everyone and meet in the meeting room in 10 minutes. I want to arrange the next stage of work. Our main product in the near future is. Rx!” Bernice ordered.

At the same time, executives of Daqin Group in Anhe Pingyuan, thousands of miles away, are also talking about this term: rx.

“Rx is a basic chemical product, a raw material for the production of chemical fibers, transparent plastics, and film packaging materials. It has also been widely used in the pharmaceutical field. Before 2000, China’s annual consumption of rx was less than 1 million tons, and supply and demand were basically balanced. Since the beginning of the new century. With the increase of industrial production and the improvement of people’s living standards, China ’s rx consumption has risen sharply. This year, it is estimated that the total consumption will reach 5 million tons, while the domestic production capacity is only less than 3 million tons, which requires a large amount of imports. “

Xu Xiaoqi, the person in charge of the Group Information Department, introduced the slide while giving a slide.

“Yeah, the demand for rx has grown too fast in the past few years, and it’s almost dizzying. It turned out that we expected a 20% annual growth rate. Who knows that the actual annual growth rate has exceeded 40%.” Engineer Xia Yangjie interrupted. The production of rx belongs to the business scope of the chemical industry group. Now he spends almost half of his time focusing on rx.

After more than ten years of development. The tentacles of Daqin Group have penetrated into almost all material fields. Not long ago, the group carried out business reorganization and divided the materials business into four major sections, namely polymer materials, inorganic materials, metal materials and functional materials.

Polymer materials include a variety of chemical products, including basic chemical products, polymers and special materials, including ethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, high-polymer fibers, chemical membrane materials, graphene, etc.

Inorganic materials include ceramics, glass, cement, and other products. Among them, Quwu’s ceramic knives and Hanping’s glass-ceramics have become world-renowned.

The big head of metal materials is steel. Thanks to the storm of iron ore negotiations in the first year, Daqin Group now not only has a capacity of 50 million tons of steel, but also has more than a dozen mines worldwide. The Group’s thin plate, thick plate, and special steel businesses are doing well. In addition to steel, the Metal Materials Group has not neglected non-ferrous metals, and has been involved in copper, aluminum, and tungsten.

As for functional materials, it is even more diverse. Magnetic materials, superconducting materials, sensitive materials, electrical functional materials, chemical functional materials, optical functional materials, etc. can be described as everything. In the early years, Qin Hai’s audio materials proposed for Qin Ling have now achieved a sales volume of 1 billion US dollars a year, occupying a place in the international audio product market.

In addition to the materials business, the group also has a number of other derivative businesses, the most important of which are materials machinery and electric vehicles. The former is developed from the original Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, and currently it mainly provides special equipment for each material section. The latter is a real cash cow. With the sales of nearly one million electric vehicles a year, it can generate hundreds of billions of cash flows and provide continuous financial support for the Group’s various businesses.

Xia Yangjie is now in charge of the polymer sector. In addition to the original Jintang chemical base, there are several newly established chemical parks in China, of which two parks in Chiyuan and Yiping are under construction. Million ton rx unit. At the beginning, Xia Yangjie was quite unaware of the group’s simultaneous establishment of two million-ton rx units, and was worried that an overcapacity situation would occur. It now seems ridiculous.

“Our action is still too slow. The two units will not be completed until next year at the earliest, and the official production will not be until 2006.” Xia Yangjie said angrily.

“Lao Xia, this is not to blame others. Qin Hai reminded you long ago that you didn’t believe it, are you passive now?” Ning laughed at Xia Yangjie with a smile. The two of them have worked together in Jintang for many years and are used to joking with each other. When he said this, he didn’t mean anything to blame.

Qin Shan, the director of the Group’s Chemical Design Institute, inserted: “Ning, you can’t blame Xia Gong, mainly because the localization of the rx device has delayed some time. It took us a lot of effort to develop a state-owned installation with full intellectual property rights. “

“Xiao Qin, they have worked hard.” Xia Yangjie praised him. Xiao Qin this time refers to Qin Shan. As an expert from the chemical industry, he certainly knows how difficult it is to develop an independent rx device. That is, Qin Hai was willing to spend money and hired a dozen engineers with research and development experience from abroad with high salaries. This shortened the research and development cycle and did not delay the production and installation of equipment.

General Manager Song Hongxuan said: “The German Warren Group and Japan’s Nitsuka Chemical have stepped up public relations efforts in China to promote their rx products. Lao Xia, you really have to hurry up, don’t wait for others to market When everything is full, you can only drink northwest wind. “

Qin Hai nodded aside: “Yeah, in the past two years, foreign companies have significantly increased their efforts to develop the Chinese market. I heard that Xinzuo Chemical has established a research and development center in Haidong Province to provide special services to those companies Technical support, which was unimaginable in the past. In the past, Chinese companies wanted foreign giants to provide some technical assistance, which was harder than Xitian to learn from. “

“Thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, it is our turn to enjoy the feeling of being a customer.” Tian Ruzhi commented with a smile.

Everyone laughed together, Xia Yangjie said, “General Manager Qin and General Manager Song, rest assured. When it comes to service, Japanese and Germans can’t compare with us. Our products can certainly squeeze them out.”

“Then I’ll wait and see.” Qin Hai responded with a smile.

In these years, the battle between Daqin Group and overseas giants for the market has never been interrupted, and a culture has been formed above and below the group, that is, where the Daqin Group will enter, the goal must be to squeeze out foreign competitors, and then Strive for victory and occupy the international market.

It is not that no one has ever questioned this concept of the Daqin Group. Several bricks and house owners who have visited the group have suggested to Qin Hai that they must have an international perspective when doing business. Do not always think about doing everything yourself. The Chinese market It’s all occupied. What should foreigners eat? With regard to this theory, Qin Hai nodded face to face, expressing deep inspiration, turning around is a weird saying: What do foreigners eat ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Guan labor and capital fart!

In terms of rx, Warren and Nitsuka Chemical are both established companies with advanced technology and rich production experience. The Daqin Group is just a recruit in front of them. However, this did not prevent Xia Yangjie from letting go of his rhetoric, and none of the executives present felt that Xia Yangjie’s goals were wrong.

Next, the people had an in-depth discussion on the construction, production, operation, and sales of the rx project. Several important issues were finalized, and some needed to be coordinated at the group level. Tian Ruzhi, the head of the group, wrote down and prepared One by one after the meeting.

Finally, the topic turned to the supply of raw materials, rx is a petrochemical project, and the main raw material is crude oil. Tian Ruzhi looked at Qin Hai and said, “If the two million-ton rx projects of General Qin, Chiyuan and Yiping are put into production, the supply of crude oil is not a trivial matter, and it must be clear. Prince Frankin has sent several invitations. Could you go to Saudi Arabia for an interview? Do you have to arrange time for a trip in person? “

“Yes, I have this intention.” Qin Hai nodded. “Last year, I was busy with iron ore. I didn’t care about oil. Now it’s time to visit Flanders.” Continued.)
