Chapter 284 Hari
Where does it break from?
Lin Zhenhua stood in front of the map of China hanging on the wall of his office, helpless.

While negotiating with various departments to facilitate the Siya refinery project, Lin Zhenhua never forgot another major event in the company, which was the launch of 40 tons of large chemical fertilizer complete equipment to the market.

After more than two years of hard work by Wei Dongqi, Fan Shibin and others, especially with the joining of a group of chemical experts who have experienced foreign ink such as Fang Yanwu, the research and development of 40 tons of large chemical fertilizer complete equipment has been successful. The design scheme and process route All have passed the audit of the National Chemical Research Institute, and the products have been finalized.

However, so far, this product has not found the first customer, and the feasibility of its technology has not been verified in practice.Lin Zhenhua mobilized all the connections that Hanhua Heavy Industry could use to introduce this new product everywhere, but so far, no progress has been made.

Chu Hongyang and Schumann have also carried out some promotion overseas.Some merchants from developing countries are interested in this, but they said that they are not willing to be guinea pigs for experiments. In any case, they hope to see successful cases before they dare to introduce it with confidence.

Where to find the first guinea pig?This is what Lin Zhenhua has been thinking about day and night.

"Duk Tuk, Tuk Tuk!" There was a knock on the door, and Lin Zhenhua answered, "Come in."

Xiang Zhe entered in response, and after entering, he carefully closed the door, then walked to Lin Zhenhua's side, and said in a low voice, "Zhenhua, I just got an inside news, but it has not been confirmed yet."

"Tell me," Lin Zhenhua said.

"I just called a friend of mine in the northern province to introduce the big fertilizer equipment to him. He told me that the Economic Commission and the Chemical Industry Department of his province seem to be negotiating with the Japanese about the introduction of large fertilizer equipment. The manufacturer in Japan seems to be Nihon Heavy Industries." Xiang Zhe said.

"Nihong Heavy Industry?" Lin Zhenhua's eyes widened.It's really not like friends don't get together, why do they have a share in everything.In fact, this is not surprising. The product lines of Hanhua Heavy Industry and Nihong Heavy Industry have overlapped. The market that Hanhua focuses on is the market of Nihong Heavy Industry. It is strange that the two companies do not often meet.

"By the way, Lao Xiang, what is your friend's position? Is what he said reliable?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xiang Zhe nodded and said: "He is from the Political Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee. He went to study in the United States in the same year as me. I know him better, and his words should be more reliable. However, his work does not involve He is from the industrial port, so he doesn’t know much about the situation. But he said that he had seen people from the Chemical Industry Agency and the Japanese at the Economic Commission, and it should be related to this matter.”

"Northern Province..." Lin Zhenhua found the location of Northern Province on the map. He stared at this small area on the map, thinking about some things about this province.

Xiang Zhe stood aside and introduced: "Northern Province is a large agricultural province with a large demand for chemical fertilizers. It now has five sets of large chemical fertilizer equipment of 10 tons, and some small chemical fertilizers. The total output cannot meet the needs of production. Every year We also need to import a large amount of fertilizer from neighboring provinces and foreign countries. We always think that it may be interested in building a large fertilizer equipment of 40 yuan."

"Have we contacted them in the past?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xiang Zhe said: "I went to the sales department to check. We have contacted the Economic Commission and the Chemical Industry Department of Northern Province, and sent our information to several large chemical fertilizer factories. However, the other party has not given us any feedback. It’s just that I have received the materials and will contact us when needed.”

"No, I have to ask about this immediately." Lin Zhenhua said.

He returned to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed directly to the desk of Zhu Jinwen of the State Machinery Committee.Zhu Jinwen had already given Lin Zhenhua this authorization before, saying that he could call him directly if there was anything to do.Zhu Jinwen didn't suffer from doing so. He knew that Lin Zhenhua was able to create some miracles every time, and keeping in close contact with Lin Zhenhua could somehow get a little bit of the light of miracles.

"Director Zhu, is it convenient for you? I have something I want to consult with you." Lin Zhenhua said bluntly.

"Okay, you can tell." Zhu Jinwen had a good attitude.

"Director Zhu, I just heard a piece of news, but it has not been confirmed, so I want to consult you." Lin Zhenhua said, and then he briefly told Zhu Jinwen what Xiang Zhe told him.Zhu Jinwen hummed in response at first, but then stopped talking.

"Director Zhu, are you listening?" Seeing that Zhu Jinwen did not reply, Lin Zhenhua asked.

Zhu Jinwen replied on the other end of the phone: "I'm listening, have you finished?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "I'm done talking, and the matter is roughly like this. I want to ask, has the Machinery Committee received this news?"

Zhu Jinwen was silent for a while, then said: "We have not received a report from the Northern Province. From a procedural point of view, they should submit a report to the Machinery Committee for the import of such large-scale equipment. But now the central government advocates expanding local autonomy. We don’t have any direct management rights over the localities, so it’s possible that the localities sometimes don’t greet us.”

"Director Zhu, what's your attitude towards this matter?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Of course, Zhu Jinwen knew what Lin Zhenhua was referring to. After Hanhua Heavy Industry completed the research and development of 40 tons of large chemical fertilizer complete equipment, it immediately submitted relevant materials to the Machinery Committee, requesting that the Machinery Committee should pay attention to Hanhua Heavy Industry when it comes to such projects. Give encouragement and support.The manufacture of large-scale complete sets of equipment is the embodiment of a country's industrial strength. Any country strongly supports the localization of such equipment. Priority will be given to recommending the technology of Hanhua Heavy Industries.

Now, the demand for such a project has really appeared. What Lin Zhenhua hopes for Zhu Jinwen's attitude is whether to support Hanhua Heavy Industry to replace Nihong Heavy Industry and take this order.However, the demand side of the project is the Northern Provincial Department of Chemical Industry. They kept silent and did not report the matter to the central government. Obviously, they did not want the higher authorities to intervene. How could Zhu Jinwen rashly express his attitude towards Lin Zhenhua?

"Xiao Lin, don't worry, let me understand the situation first." Zhu Jinwen hesitated for a while, and replied to Lin Zhenhua like this.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Lin Zhenhua said.

If Zhu Jinwen wants to understand a situation, it is impossible to call the other party directly like Lin Zhenhua. He must find the right person and understand it in a suitable way.After learning about one aspect of the situation, he still needs to verify with other departments to find out whether there are other backgrounds.After this communication, it took a day to pass, and at this time, Lin Zhenhua had already understood the matter through the relationship between Xie Chunyan, Wei Dongqi, He Chengshan and others.

"This project was decided by a vice-governor surnamed Liu of the Northern Province when he visited Japan last month. He directly assigned the task to the Economic Commission and the Department of Chemical Industry, and appointed them to contact Japan's Nihong Heavy Industry. Northern Province The Economic Commission and the Department of Chemical Industry did not compare different suppliers at all, and they started discussing technical details without even asking the price in advance." Zhu Jinwen said to Lin Zhenhua on the phone.

"Is this a violation of the regulations?" Lin Zhenhua asked.What Zhu Jinwen told him was roughly the same as what he learned through other channels.It is said that Vice Governor Liu is extremely harsh. All the electrical appliances in the house are Japanese products, and a mantra he often says on various occasions is "Look at Japan."

Cadres like Deputy Governor Liu were not uncommon back then, and there are still many of them today.The moon in foreign countries is rounder than China's. This is a deep-rooted concept in many people's minds. It is really not easy to get rid of this concept.

Zhu Jinwen snorted and said: "If the regulations are not stipulated, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. If the deputy governor has made a statement, don't the people below have to follow it? Some procedural requirements, just make a fake Isn't it easy?"

"So, you, the director of the Machinery Committee, can't do anything about them?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Zhu Jinwen sneered and said, "Xiao Lin, you're flattering me too much. The person who spoke was the deputy governor, and I'm just a director, not in the same rank. What's more, we only have the right to make suggestions on how to do things locally. , how can you interfere indiscriminately?"

"Uh... It seems that the other party is a bit older." Lin Zhenhua was depressed.When he talked about Zhu Jinwen earlier, he somewhat had the mentality that dispatching generals is not as good as aggressive generals. He wanted to stimulate Zhu Jinwen, but he forgot that Zhu Jinwen's official position was actually not that high, half a rank lower than the deputy governor.

"Xiao Lin, don't think about this project. When I called yesterday, I tried it out for you. The other party said that this is a project designated by the governor Dai Mao, and it is impossible to find other companies to cooperate with." Zhu Jinwen advised.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Director Zhu, you don't know. I have fought against Nihong Heavy Industry. These guys offer a very dark price. I estimate that their asking price for this 40-ton equipment will be more than 1000 million US dollars. , These are all dollars spent in vain."

"The U.S. dollar seems to be green..." Xiang Zhe stood beside Lin Zhenhua, listening to him on the phone, and when he heard this sentence, he couldn't help reminding him in a low voice.

"That's right, Director Zhu, Xiao Xiang next to me said that it's all green money." Lin Zhenhua was kind and corrected quickly.

"What a mess!" Zhu Jinwen laughed on the other end of the phone. In front of Lin Zhenhua, he really couldn't keep his face straight and said, "Xiao Lin, what are you going to do?"

"I haven't figured out how to do it yet, but I plan to go to Beijing right away, and I may have to go to the Machinery Committee to trouble you." Lin Zhenhua said.

Zhu Jinwen said: "Things are already like this. What's the use of you coming to Beijing? Xiaolin, you have to know that the Machinery Committee is not omnipotent, and we can't issue orders to the local government."

"I don't need you to give orders. I can go to petition, right?" Lin Zhenhua said angrily.
