Sail across the sea

Chapter 222

Provincial Chemical Design Institute.

Xing Xiu, a staff member of the hospital office, led Gao Fan into an office, came to a man who was sitting behind a desk reading a magazine, and introduced him, "Manager Gao, this is Mr. Liao."

After finishing speaking, she turned to the man again and said, "Mr. Liao, let me introduce you. This is Gao Fan, the manager of Canghua Technology and Trade Company in Cangtang County, Luping District. He was introduced by Director Xu of the Chemical Industry Department." , Said that I have something to do with you."

She must emphasize the latter sentence.To be honest, if Xu Ying hadn't called her leader in advance, that is, the office director of the design institute, Xing Xiu would never have given Gao Fan a good face.What serious business can a half-grown child have? Shouldn't you go to the zoo to see monkeys if you have this spare time?
But with Xu Ying's call first, Xing Xiu had no choice but to be more polite to Gao Fan.She also didn't know the background of Gao Fan, the manager. Cangtang is not a county worthy of attention in Maolin Province. Even if Luping area is not added as a prefix, most people don't know this county. where is it.

Gao Fan came over and asked for this engineer named Liao Derong by name, but he refused to say what was the matter, and Xing Xiu couldn't ask in detail, so he had to bring him here.

"Are you looking for me?" Liao Derong raised his head, looked at Gao Fan, and asked suspiciously.

"Are you Teacher Liao Derong?" Gao Fan asked.

"My name is Liao Derong, but I'm not some kind of teacher." Liao Derong corrected him very shamelessly.

Gao Fan smiled and said, "Then let me call you Mr. Liao. I really need you for something."

"What's the matter?" Liao Derong asked.

"Can we talk in another place?" Gao Fan said, then turned to look at Xing Xiu, without speaking.

Xing Xiu understood Gao Fan's hint that she needs to arrange a place for conversation.She felt unhappy in her heart, but she could only say with a sullen face, "Why don't you go to the meeting room to talk, and I'll open the door for you."

After bringing Gao Fan and Liao Derong to the meeting room, Xing Xiu was not interested in pouring water for them, so she said "talk", then turned and left.

Gao Fan watched Xing Xiu walk out of the conference room, and heard the sound of her high-heeled footsteps gradually receding, then he turned his head and said to Liao Derong who was sitting opposite him with a smile:
"Mr. Liao, sorry to bother you. I came to visit you today because I saw an article you published on "Maolin Chemical Industry" called 'Application of Cerium-based Compounds in the Industrial Synthesis of Vitamin E'. Do you have any further information? impression?"

"That article?" Liao Derong frowned. "That article was written several years ago. Why, do you think there is any problem?"

Gao Fan didn't mind Liao Derong's indifference.In fact, before he came to Ruizhang, he went to Zhou Xiaoyun to learn about the situation of the Chemical Design Institute. Zhou Xiaoyun’s comment was that there were some problems with the people in this unit, probably because the treatment was not good. They all looked like someone else owed them eight diao money.

In the early 80s, Chinese society was undergoing a transition from a traditional planned society to a commodity economy society. Almost all people benefited from this transition, and their living standards were significantly improved. But at the same time, almost all Everyone feels that he is a victim of the transition, and that others have benefited much more than himself.

Therefore, the mentality of resentment is very common in society, especially among those within the system.The Provincial Chemical Engineering Design Institute was originally considered a passable unit in the chemical industry department system, but in recent years, the autonomy of industrial enterprises in the system has increased, and they can seek some benefits on their own. The Chemical Design Institute has no resources, and the benefits are not as good as industrial enterprises. It is unavoidable for employees to complain.

Gao Fan thought to himself that he didn't offend anyone in the Chemical Engineering Design Institute, so he didn't need to care about the attitude of the other party. He asked:

"No problem. I just want to ask Mr. Liao, have you done any further research on this topic in the past few years?"

"No!" Liao Derong replied very resolutely.

"So, are you interested in doing some further research?"

"why?"

"Because... I can pay for it."

"you?"

Only then did Liao Derong start to look at Gao Fan seriously, and after watching for a while, he asked, "What on earth do you do?"

"Didn't Comrade Xing introduce you just now? I am the manager of Canghua Technology and Trade Company in Cangtang County."

"What does your company do?"

"Chemicals, fertilizers, catalysts, surfactants, coal chemicals, synthetic resins, and others. In short, we can do whatever makes money."

Gao Fan replied with a smile.As a human being in two lifetimes, he has enough self-cultivation and self-confidence, and he doesn't even bother to get angry with these people who owe their IQs in front of him.

Liao Derong was a little confused, Gao Fan's introduction, instead of making him understand anything, made him even more confused.He continued, "How big is your company?"

"How do you say this?" Gao Fan seemed a little distressed, "Let's just say that one of our businesses, surfactants, is estimated to achieve 15 billion yen in export earnings this year."

"There are so many!" Liao Derong was finally moved.

Liao Derong knows that the yen is not as valuable as the U.S. dollar, or even the renminbi.But an order of magnitude of "15 billion" was enough to shock him.With so many Japanese Yen, how can there be no exchange for Renminbi... Uh, I really don’t know the exchange rate, but it must be a lot anyway.

According to the half-grown kid in front of him who claims to be a manager, it's just one of their businesses. Why can't this Canghua company have a scale of tens of thousands of people?How come I haven't heard of it before.

"Are you the manager of this company?" Liao Derong asked in disbelief.

"Yes, the top leader of the company." Gao Fan replied solemnly.

Liao Derong was speechless.Gao Fan was brought here by Xing Xiu, and Xing Xiu also emphasized that this is the person who was greeted by Director Xu of the Chemical Industry Department, so it is obviously not a liar.

But if he wasn't a liar, how could he become the manager of such a big company at such a young age?The other party also specifically emphasized that he is the top leader, which avoids the misunderstanding of "the manager walks everywhere".

Liao Derong wanted to ask Gao Fan how he became the manager and whether it had any relationship, but he was not familiar with Gao Fan at all, so how could he be able to ask such a question.

Helpless, he could only ask dully: "So, Manager Gao, what do you want from me?"

Gao Fan spread his hands: "As I said just now, I would like to pay you to continue the research on the subject of using cerium-based compounds as catalysts to synthesize vitamin E, or to put it more clearly, to complete its industrial application research."
