Sail across the sea

Chapter 220 Your sister is right

The Chen family's father and son and Yu Guorong left together, each with joy.After returning to Renqiao, Yu Guorong and Chen Xingquan both prepared a lot of souvenirs and rushed to the provincial capital to give gifts.Yu Guorong went to Pan Yue, while Chen Xingquan went to the Provincial Communications Department.There is no need to repeat how they fool people with their eloquent tongues.

After seeing off this group of guests, Gao Fan has nothing to do.His mental age is far beyond his actual age, and he really can't play outside with friends and companions like those children of the same age.Apart from playing a few times with some good classmates in different combinations, Gao Fan spent more time at home, thinking about his plan to make a fortune in the coming year.

"Oh, I'm still poor!"

These days, Gao Fan is talking about such a sigh, and then repeatedly attracts the eyes of his mother Ran Yuying and sister Gao Min.

"how much money do you need?"

Taking advantage of the free time during the Spring Festival holiday, Gao Yiping finally had time to sit down and talk to his son, he asked Gao Fan.

"A lot." Gao Fan said, "Over at Peking University, I plan to start with my brother Yang Kai and the students in our dormitory, gradually expand the scope, and finally try to make the entire Department of Chemistry my research team.

"For Professor Hai, I promised to subsidize him with 10 yuan a year, but this is actually just the beginning. I estimate that once his research has made substantial progress, 100 million yuan a year may not be able to sustain it.

"The third piece is the technical research center of Canghua Company, which I mentioned. This is a bottomless pit. There are so many topics I want to research, and no amount of money is enough to invest in it.

"The last time Yu Guorong came and asked me to participate in their polyester project, I have to invest at least 100 million yuan here, and the money is estimated to be available within this year. The hydration facility will develop a small polyester plant for half a year. There is enough time, which means that the polyester project will start in the second half of the year at the earliest."

"Aren't you thinking too much?" Gao Yiping frowned and said, "You didn't have any plans for the polyester matter. Once someone said it, you agreed to participate in the shares. I think you should do what you can." Is that okay?"

Gao Fan said: "The polyester project will definitely be profitable. If the Renqiao Industrial Bureau can really help them get enough imported PTA and EG, then the project will be able to recover all the investment within two years of being put into operation. net.

"The most important thing is that if Yu Guorong and the others are successful, they will be able to play a good demonstration effect. It is estimated that Shuinan will set off a climax in the construction of small polyester, which will promote the development of polyester technology.

"Minister Zheng arranged for Pan Yue to go to the water plant for this purpose. The development of small polyester technology can also force foreign manufacturers to lower the price of large polyester plants, and the foreign exchange that can be saved for the country is [-] million yuan. to calculate."

Gao Yiping fell silent, and Gao Fan couldn't stop Gao Fan from talking about the significance of this matter to this extent.If this matter can be done, Gao Fan will get a great praise from Zheng Linong, and it is undoubtedly worthwhile to exchange the 100 million investment for such a good reputation.

After all, the 100 million investment can be recovered in the end, and there will be substantial returns in the future.

"Then, can we slow down the matter of the technology research and development center?" Gao Yiping asked again.

Gao Fan said: "It depends on the profitability of Canghua Company this year. If the sales of cleaning agents in Japan can reach a higher level, the company will have spare money to support the R&D center. If the sales situation is not satisfactory, there is no way gone."

"What did Bei Dao Zhengshen say?" Gao Yiping asked.

Gao Fan shook his head: "He is very optimistic, but I can't trust him completely. The cleaning agent I developed doesn't have much technical know-how. If Japanese chemical companies want to develop similar products, it is not as difficult. Not much. I estimate that this year’s sales volume is about 100 million bottles, and next year may not even reach this number.”

"If there are 100 million bottles, based on your profit rate, there will be a gross profit of 500 million, and the retained profit for your Canghua Company will be 300 million, which is really not a small amount." Gao Yiping said.

Gao Fan said: "This money is enough for small troubles, but it is far from enough to do serious things."

"What serious business do you want to do?" Gao Yiping asked.

Gao Fan said: "For example, build a 30-ton ethylene plant."

Gao Yiping was speechless, and it took a while before he said something: "...your sister is right."

"What did my sister say?"

"She said you were floating."

"..."

"Xiaofan, do you know how much a 30-ton ethylene plant costs?" Gao Yiping asked.

"It's less than 20 billion." Gao Fan said calmly.

Gao Yiping said: "It's less than 20 billion... Do you think you can earn 20 billion with your own ability?"

"Not now, but it should be possible in the future." Gao Fan said, "The chemical industry is like this. The investment is large, but the return is also large. If I can raise 20 billion yuan to build a 30-ton ethylene plant, it will last five years. The investment can be recovered in time, which is equivalent to earning 4 million yuan a year."

"Xiao Fan, how big is your heart?" Gao Yiping couldn't help complaining.

Gao Fan said: "Dad, I'm anxious. Now is the time for the global chemical industry to develop rapidly. We started late, and now we are dragging our feet. In the end, the industry opportunities were taken away by others.

"A few days ago I discussed the issue of polyester production with Yu Guorong, and I felt very aggrieved. We introduced polyester equipment, but PTA cannot be produced by itself, and almost all depend on imports. When we can solve the problem of PTA production, the raw materials of PTA PX has to be imported.

"When we can't produce polyester, the polyester exported to us from abroad will be terribly expensive. When we can produce polyester, they will raise the price of PTA, and they will still be able to cut us off. I dare say that when we produce PTA At that time, the price of PX in the international market should increase.

"The wages of our workers are only a few tenths of others' because our technology is backward, and what they charge is a technology tax. We are equivalent to being cheap labor for others.

"This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, it's a waste of fire."

"What can we do?" Gao Yiping sighed, "We are not as skilled as others, so of course we can only be blackmailed by others. You can't blame us for this kind of thing, after all, we have caught up a lot over the years."

"I know that we will be able to catch up completely in the end, and we will be on an equal footing with foreigners, and we will not give them a chance to cut meat. But this process is too long. Since fate has given me such an opportunity, I will shorten it as much as possible. Time." Gao Fan said.

Gao Yiping was silent for a while, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gao Fan said, "I've made up my mind. After the Chinese New Year, I will go to the Chemical Industry Department and ask them to help me obtain special policies."
