Sail across the sea

Chapter 233 What Guarantee Do You Need From Me?

The restructuring of Canghua Technology and Trade Company is both vigorous and mediocre.

To say that it is vigorous means that the province attaches great importance to this matter. The provincial leaders personally instructed and attended the reform ceremony. Many media in the province reported that the headlines and texts did not hesitate to use words such as "pioneer of reform" and "brave new roads". kind words.

To say that it is flat means that the cadres and workers of Canghai Chemical Fertilizer Factory and the unemployed young people in the company did not have much reaction to this matter. Most of them did not realize what this restructuring meant.

Gu Kunquan, who entered the role in advance, gave the unemployed young people a ecstasy soup, telling them that after the company's restructuring, there will be more freedom in management, and everyone will get higher wages and more bonuses, so everyone forgets that Gao Fan took office At the beginning, I promised to give everyone dividends.

In this era, corporate dividends are an unfamiliar concept, and everyone prefers to understand it as a bonus of a specific name.Since dividends are bonuses, and the new Mr. Gu said that the bonuses will be even higher in the future, what else can everyone say?
The issuance of 20% employee stocks did not cause any waves. Under the operation of Gao Yiping, all the employees in the factory bought a few shares. Most of them regarded this as a kind of savings, thinking that they would sell it back to the The factory will do.

Of course, there are also some employees who are smarter and more courageous, and they will secretly buy a few more shares, hoping to get more dividends after the development of Canghua Company.

For Gao Fan, the restructuring of Canghua Company has two direct impacts. One is that he has more autonomy, and he no longer has to consult the Fertilizer Factory Affairs Committee for everything he does. Agreed; the second is that he finally has a capable subordinate, that is Gu Kunquan who is willing to give up the position of deputy director of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission to become the executive vice president of the company.

"Old Gu, what do you think about the project of synthesizing vitamin E?"

After finishing the company restructuring, Gao Fan invited Gu Kunquan to his office alone and asked him.

"Xiao Gao, regarding this matter, I haven't been free for a while, and I didn't bother to ask you seriously. I want to know, why did you choose such a project?" Gu Kunquan asked back.

Everyone is stirring the spoon in the same pot, and they call each other casually.Gao Fan and Gu Kunquan got in-depth contact for a period of time, and found that although this man was a little naughty, he had a very good personality. Equal dialogue.

"Actually, I chose the vitamin project at random." Gao Fan replied honestly, "I know some technologies for synthesizing vitamins, and I noticed that the Chemical Design Institute, which is actually Liao Dequan's, has mastered the A new process for synthesizing vitamin E can reduce the cost by more than 20% compared with the existing foreign process, so I think I can try it.”

"Choose randomly..." Gu Kunquan put his hand on his forehead, expressing disbelief. He sighed and said, "My little Mr. Gao, this is an investment of more than 200 million yuan. You actually said that you chose it at random. You How can you be sure that this project will be successful? If the project is not successful or fails to meet expectations, how do you plan to make up for the investment of more than 200 million yuan?"

"How is this possible!" Gao Fan blurted out.

In later generations, China's vitamin export was booming, and it was almost a monopoly in the vitamin market.Gaofan's current plan is only a production capacity of 100 tons of vitamin E, how can it not be sold?

However, in this case, Gao Fan couldn't tell Gu Kunquan about it. He organized his language and said to Gu Kunquan:
"Old Gu, let me tell you, it is impossible for this project to fail. The vitamin market is a big market for us, but it is only a very small and inconspicuous market in the international chemical market. Those international chemical giants Not interested in this market.

"As long as our products are cheaper than foreign products, those pharmaceutical companies in the United States, Germany, and Japan will purchase our raw vitamin powder. And the original vitamin manufacturers will not pay much attention. Because losing such a market will not be good for them. It’s insignificant, and they’ll just move on to other products.”

"It's just your imagination." Gu Kunquan said, "You have to know how difficult it is for companies in our country to sell a product abroad, and often they can't sell it at a reduced price. How dare you say it Will foreign countries buy our vitamin powder?"

Gao Fan said with a smile: "Old Gu, what you said is that those companies don't understand the international market. In fact, Western countries are now engaged in industrial transfers, and some industries with relatively low profits are transferring to developing countries. They are eager for help. They make these products, if you can make them, the quality is decent, and the price is competitive.”

"When I was in the Science and Technology Commission, I heard experts from the School of Administration talk about the transfer of industries you mentioned. However, what they said was the transfer of industries from Western countries to the Four Asian Tigers. Compared with the Four Asian Tigers, our country is still There is some gap, right?" Gu Kunquan said.

Gao Fan shook his head: "Old Gu, you don't know. It is true that Western industries have been transferred to the Four Asian Tigers, but the size of the Four Asian Tigers is only so small. What virtue and ability do they have, they can transfer all the industries transferred from the West Eat it?

"The United States plus Western Europe has a population of [-] to [-] million people. With the scale of the four Asian tigers, which is less than [-] million people, can they take on such a large plate?"

"That's the reason..." Gu Kunquan nodded thoughtfully, accepting Gao Fan's explanation.

Gu Kunquan was a kind of person with extremely active thoughts. He stayed in the office but always wanted to make big news.From some of the country's policies, he judged that the country is going to be fully open, so he had the idea of ​​making contributions in this great era, which is why he took the initiative to apply for Canghua Company as the deputy general manager.

Of course, he has not dared to abandon everything and go to sea. When he came to Canghua Company, he took the name of a temporary job, that is, he retained his establishment and position in the Science and Technology Commission, and took an official letter from the Provincial Economic and Economic Commission to Canghua Company. Chemical companies to assist with the work.If the Canghua Company cannot develop in the future, he can still go back to the Science and Technology Commission to get his job.

"However, although this is the case, when it comes to vitamins, how sure are you that you can sell them successfully?" Gu Kunquan asked.

"What guarantee do you need from me?" Gao Fan asked back.

Gu Kunquan said: "This is not just a matter of guaranteeing me, but that if we want to apply for a loan from the bank, we need the approval of the relevant department. If it is 20 million yuan, it is enough to be guaranteed by the chemical fertilizer factory. But The amount you want to borrow is more than 200 million. I am afraid that the Department of Chemical Industry cannot make the decision on this amount. It needs the approval of the Provincial Economic Commission.

"To get the Provincial Economic Commission to agree to our loan of 200 million, you need to give the Provincial Economic Commission a guarantee. For example, you can get actual orders to prove that the products you produce can be exported to earn foreign exchange."

"A realistic order..."

Gao Fan pondered, he suddenly realized that he was indeed a little impulsive before.The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. In this era, Chinese companies really have some obstacles if they want to sell their products abroad.
