Sail across the sea

Chapter 219 That's it

"Old Yu, the polyester plant is generally reliable. In the next 20 years, the domestic demand for polyester will continue to rise, and the situation of short supply of polyester will not change in the short term.

"We are a developing country, and we are facing a shortage of funds to launch a large number of large-scale polyester plants. Therefore, developing small-scale polyester plants will be the direction of national policy for at least 20 years.

"The technology of the small-scale polyester plant is not complicated. With Mr. Pan's level and the production foundation of the hydration plant, we will work hard to produce a qualified small-scale polyester plant. There is no big problem. Mr. Pan promised The technical indicators are also fully achievable."

Gao Fan reassures Yu Guorong.

Yu Guorong and the others wanted to engage in small-scale polyester production. This matter was beyond Gao Fan's expectations, but it was also in his plan.

In the previous life, the development of China's polyester industry took the path of large-scale and small-scale plants in parallel. The state invested in the construction of large-scale plants with an annual production capacity of more than 5 tons, while township enterprises built small plants with an annual production capacity of about 5000 tons.

By around 2000, the annual production capacity of small polyester plants in China had reached 280 million tons, accounting for 1/3 of the national polyester production capacity.These small polyester plants are mainly concentrated in several eastern coastal provinces, especially in Shuinan Province.

Businessmen do not start early without profit. The township entrepreneurs in Shuinan are willing to invest in the construction of small polyester plants, naturally seeing its profitability.

Gaofan advocates the development of small-scale polyester equipment, hoping that one day it will be able to attract the investment and construction of township enterprises in Shuinan, and form a certain industrial scale. This will not only alleviate the tense situation of domestic polyester supply and demand, but also create new opportunities for foreign polyester equipment manufacturers. pressure to lower prices.

Gao Fan's original idea was to lobby a certain department or a certain large state-owned enterprise to fund the construction of the first small polyester enterprise as a demonstration.What he didn't expect was that the township entrepreneurs in Shuinan would have such a sensitive sense of smell, and they would focus on this business after just having a meal with Pan Yue.

In this way, it saves Gao Fan's affairs.I believe that with Yu Guorong's factory put into production, other township entrepreneurs will see the opportunity and rush into this industry one after another.

In this sense, Gao Fan will support Yu Guorong and the others no matter what.

"Brother Gao said this, so I feel relieved. I will contact Mr. Pan when I get back and ask him to design a polyester device for us." Yu Guorong said.

Gao Fan said: "Speaking of design, I think of one thing. Lao Yu, have you ever considered investing in technology patents?"

"Technical patent, how to vote?" Yu Guorong became interested.

Gao Fan said: "Polyester technology was invented by foreigners. Many polyester production processes have been patented by foreigners. If we want to use their processes, we need to pay patent fees, and they can even prohibit us from using them. patent.

"I discussed with Chief Engineer Pan that if we want to design our own small polyester device, we must develop our own patent, so as to avoid having to pay others for each device we build.

"Developing a patent itself costs money, and the country and the province can't afford to support Mr. Pan and his team in developing patented technology."

"You mean, let's pay the money, and when the patent is developed and others want to use it, they have to pay us?"

Yu Guorong is so smart, he understood Gao Fan's meaning halfway through what he said.

Gao Fan nodded: "That's right, that's right. I asked Mr. Pan, and he said that to develop an independent patent, he needs to invest 50 yuan. Once the patent is developed, no matter which company uses it in the future, it needs to pay .

"Let's not be too greedy. We can just charge a patent fee of 10 yuan for each device. Do the math, how many sets of this 5000-ton small device can be built in China in the future."

"I reckon, just in Shuinan, 20 sets may not be enough." Yu Guorong said.

"20 sets? Lao Yu, you are too conservative. If you ask me, 200 sets may not be enough for Shuinan alone." Gao Fan said with a smile.

Isn't it? By the year 2000, the total production capacity of small polyester in the country will reach 280 million tons, which is equivalent to 5000 sets of equipment when converted into a production capacity of 560 tons.

"Will there be so many?" Yu Guorong was stunned.

Gao Fan didn't bother to explain to him that China's economic development was so fast that no one could believe it.If he tells others now that China's steel production in 2020 can single-handedly surpass the sum of all other countries on Blue Star, everyone will probably think he is crazy.

But the fact is that, to paraphrase an old saying, China cannot be understood with the head and cannot be measured with the usual scale.For China, you can only kneel...

Seeing that Gao Fan didn't intend to explain, Yu Guorong didn't ask any further.In his view, the number of 20 sets is absolutely guaranteed, which means that with an investment of 50 yuan, at least 200 million yuan in patent fees can be recovered in the future. This rate of return is still very good.

As Gao Fan said, if the demand for 200 sets can be reached in the future, that is 2000 million patent fee income, which is simply higher than the profit of stealing money.

"I didn't say anything, I'll vote for one share!" Yu Guorong didn't hesitate anymore, and spoke directly.

"Well, let's settle this matter first." Gao Fan felt a little surprised, and he said, "What Lao Pan needs is an investment of 50 yuan. I think that our Canghua Company can invest 10 yuan. , yourself, or if you want, get your friends to pay 40 yuan, and when you get back, you will contact Lao Pan and transfer the first payment to the account of the hydration facility before the year."

"Years ago?" Yu Guorong grinned, boss, today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, are you sure you have to settle this matter before the end of the year?
Gao Fan smiled: "Lao Yu, you don't understand. After this matter was settled years ago, Lao Pan will definitely not be able to sit still this Spring Festival. Believe it or not, he will work overtime on the first day of the Lunar New Year. At the very least, He will use the few days of the Spring Festival to finalize the entire research plan, and start immediately after the New Year.

"If you contact me again after the year, it will be regarded as high efficiency if they can start up within the first month."

"Understood!" Yu Guorong understood immediately, and he had a new understanding of the integrity of the half-grown child in front of him.

Based on Yu Guorong's experience with Pan Yue, he did not doubt Gao Fan's judgment at all, and knew that once this matter was settled, Lao Pan would definitely work overtime during the Chinese New Year.

This kid really regarded Lao Pan as the donkey of the production team, and refused to let Lao Pan rest even for a Spring Festival.

Or, when you go to sign a contract with Lao Pan, you can bring some agricultural and sideline products, such as pork, tea oil, kelp, etc., and give a share to each of the glasses in the technical department of the hydration department. There's a carrot hanging from his head.

Hmm, that's it.
