Sail across the sea

Chapter 134 Why No One Said In The Past

"The 5000-ton polyester plant should be a specification that has been eliminated abroad?" Zheng Linong frowned and said, "Xiao Gao, do you think we still need to develop a plant of this specification?"

Gao Fan chuckled, looked at Pan Yue, and asked, "What do Director Pan think?"

Pan Yue couldn't understand the old and the young.

The old one is a bit too polite for a corporal.The smaller one seemed too insolent.

Just now, Gao Fan didn't discuss with him, and directly arranged a job for him, saying that he would be the chief engineer of Hua'an Company, and that he would take the lead in developing a 5000-ton device.

At first, Pan Yue thought that Zheng Linong asked Gao Fan to say these words, and he was still muttering in his heart, wondering why a deputy minister like Zheng Linong still asked others to spread the word. Could it be that he dared to stab himself when he said it directly?
Now listening to the conversation between the two, Pan Yue realized that after a long time of arguing, Gao Fan was really acting as a substitute, arranging him on his own initiative.

What the hell is this!
Pan Yue roared in his heart.

But no matter how many alpacas he had in his heart, it was inconvenient for Pan Yue to quarrel with Gao Fan in front of Zheng Linong.When Gao Fan asked him, he said: "The 5000-ton equipment has indeed been eliminated abroad. Our Chemical Industry Department originally thought about building one or two sets of 5000-ton equipment, but now we have introduced the yellowing 6 tons of equipment, there is no need to build 5000 tons of equipment."

"I think it's very necessary," Gao Fan said.

Zheng Linong has already lit a cigarette, which is a habitual action when he intends to listen to other people's reasoning.This action can create a psychological hint for the narrator, that is, the deputy minister is relaxing at this time, and if he says a few more words, it will not delay the deputy minister's work.

Conversely, if you sit upright and look serious when someone is talking, the other person will get nervous easily, afraid of saying something wrong, and I'm sorry that the leader takes it so seriously.

Gao Fan chatted with Zheng Linong all the way on the train to Shuinan, and he already understood his iconic action. Seeing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Minister Zheng, can you recall how you formed the 5000-ton Such a high-level device is not suitable for the impression of our country's national conditions."

"Did I say it's not suitable for our country's national conditions?" Zheng Linong was taken aback for a moment, and then came to his senses.

He did not say that the 5000-ton device is not suitable for China's national conditions, but he said that this level of device has been eliminated and there is no need to develop it. In fact, he subconsciously feels that it is not suitable for China's national conditions.

Once this is reflected, a new problem arises. The elimination of 5000-ton devices is a foreign trend. How can I easily regard it as a domestic trend?

Wu Zhefu saw that Zheng Linong was in a daze, so he answered for him: "Xiao Gao, our country proposes to realize the four modernizations by the end of this century, so technological integration with international standards is an inevitable choice.

"Internationally, the 5000-ton polyester plant has been eliminated and replaced with a 5-ton plant. Large plants have scale effects, high production efficiency, low energy consumption, stable product quality, and fewer operators. well known.

"The reason why the country spends so much precious foreign exchange to introduce large-scale polyester plants is precisely because of these advantages.

"At this time, if we spend more energy to develop a 5000-ton device, it is equivalent to reversing history."

"The advantages of the 5-ton device that Secretary Wu just said are all correct. Then, what are the disadvantages of this level of device in Secretary Wu's opinion?" Gao Fan asked.

"Disadvantages? The one-time investment is too large, and the pressure on the country's finances is too great. This is the main disadvantage." Wu Zhefu said.

Gao Fan shook his head and said: "Secretary Wu is not complete. The biggest disadvantage of a device with a capacity of more than 5 tons is that its unit investment is large. If a device with a capacity of 5000 tons is used, the investment per ton of polyester production capacity will be at most It is only equivalent to 5/1 of the 6-ton unit, and it is not impossible to even press it to 1/10."

"There is such a big difference!" Zheng Linong asked in surprise.

Gao Fan glanced at Pan Yue, Pan Yue hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said: "Minister Zheng, the situation Xiao Gao said is basically true. When I was in the research institute, I made a rough calculation. We design and manufacture a set of 5000-ton equipment by ourselves, with a total investment of about 800 million to 1200 million, and the average investment per ton of production capacity is equivalent to 1600 to 2400 yuan."

"Xiao Wu, what is the investment for Huanghua's 6-ton plant?" Zheng Linong asked solemnly.

Wu Zhefu said: "The big number is 5 million."

"That is, the production capacity is nearly 1 yuan per ton." Zheng Linong said.

"The investment per ton of production capacity for the two sets of facilities in Nanqing and Qidong is almost the same," Wu Zhefu added.

The investment per ton of polyester production capacity is 1 yuan. This is an empirical data in the industry, and Zheng Linong also knows it.He asked Wu Zhefu just now, just to confirm whether his memory was wrong.

If the investment of the imported device is 1 yuan per ton, while the self-developed device only needs 1600 to 2400 yuan, then the price difference between the two is astonishingly large.

Wu Zhefu just mentioned several advantages of the imported device. Compared with such a shortcoming, all the advantages are meaningless.

Similarly, to form a production capacity of 6 tons, nearly 6 million yuan is needed for imported equipment, and more than 1 million yuan for domestic equipment is enough.You said that domestically produced devices have low efficiency and high energy consumption. How much oil is enough to buy the more than 4 million yuan I saved?No matter how high your energy consumption is, will it consume more than 4 million worth of oil?
"Why didn't anyone talk about this issue in the past?" Zheng Linong asked with a dark face.

He said this to Wu Zhefu and Pan Yue, both of whom are his subordinates. Although Pan Yue still has some distance from him, if Pan Yue reports this situation to Shuinan Province The Department of Chemical Industry, and the Department of Chemical Industry in Shuinan reported to the Ministry of Chemical Industry, so why did Zheng Linong not know about this until now?
"Actually, the cost I just calculated is just a calculation. In actual manufacturing, maybe...the cost will be even higher." Pan Yue explained dully.

But this explanation is really not convincing, that is, the leader asked a question, and you have to give an answer whether it is useful or not.

Gao Fan said: "Minister Zheng, don't blame the comrades below for this matter. After all, our country has not independently manufactured a 5000-ton device so far.

"Moreover, this small device generally adopts a discontinuous production method, while the imported large-scale device is continuously produced, and there is indeed a big difference in production efficiency between the two.

"I am now suggesting the development of 5000-ton devices. It is estimated that in 20 years, these devices will have to be forcibly eliminated, and it will be a very big waste by then."
