Chapter 361 Not Interested
Lin Zhenhua still has some contacts in Beijing, including Zhu Jinwen from the Machinery Committee, Gao Zuxing from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, etc., all have a good impression of him and are willing to come out and say a few words for him.Regarding the idea of ​​implementing the market-for-technology model in the process of technology introduction, after He Haifeng reported it to the Secretariat of the Central Committee, it was approved by the central leadership.Under such circumstances, the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Petroleum finally accepted Lin Zhenhua's opinion and agreed to add a clause requiring the other party to transfer technology during the equipment introduction process of Jiangbei Petrochemical.

"Manager Xiaolin, your energy is really strong enough, we really can't handle it anymore." The official in charge of this project of the Ministry of Petroleum is a director named Gu Jiahua, who came to discuss specific technology introduction matters. Lin Zhenhua, he said jokingly.Before that, Lin Zhenhua had visited Gu Jiahua many times, and he was more or less familiar.

This time, Lin Zhenhua brought Wei Dongqi and He Chengshan to meet Gu Jiahua. Hearing this, Lin Zhenhua quickly waved his hands and said, "Director Gu is just joking. We are just a small local enterprise. What energy is there?"

"Good guy, there are more than a dozen cadres at or above the bureau level who have come to intercede for you these days, and you still say that you have no energy." Gu Jiahua said.

Lin Zhenhua knew that what Gu Jiahua said was true, he said with a smile: "We are also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and we went to various temples. In fact, the main reason is that the leaders are selling our old He's face."

Speaking of this, he pointed to He Chengshan, and directly let He Chengshan carry this bullying thunder.If he said that he knew so many officials at the ministerial level and bureau level at a young age, he might give people a very arrogant impression.

He Chengshan is an old man in the petrochemical system, and Gu Jiahua also knows him. He nodded to He Chengshan and said, "He is so enthusiastic about the development of petrochemical technology at such an advanced age. It's really touching."

He Chengshan said: "Director Gu, the idea put forward by our Manager Xiao Lin this time is very good. We have introduced so many equipments, and logically speaking, we should also introduce technology at the same time. We did not do this in the past, but now it is considered It’s not too late to mend the dead.”

The old man's words were not so polite, and he seemed to criticize the Ministry of Petroleum's past practices as inappropriate.

Gu Jiahua didn't mind He Chengshan's accusation, but followed his words and said: "The idea proposed by Manager Xiao Lin is indeed very inspiring. However, the matter of introducing technology is not so easy. Even if the foreign businessman agrees to transfer the technology , The transferee on our side must also have the ability to digest these technologies."

Lin Zhenhua said: "This is for sure. The enterprise that acquires the technology must be an enterprise that has accumulated a certain amount of technology. In the past few years, Hanhua Heavy Industry has carried out research on the design and manufacturing technology of the three ethylene machines. Some research has formed a certain accumulation, and this time we hope to work with some leading companies in the industry to jointly receive related technologies in this regard.”

Gu Jiahua looked at Lin Zhenhua, was silent for a while, and said, "Manager Lin, do you know that in our industry, so far, only you Hanhua Heavy Industry has proposed to accept the request of technology transfer."

"What!" Lin Zhenhua was taken aback, "No way, as far as I know, there are several petrochemical equipment companies in China that are much stronger than our Hanhua. Don't they want to get involved in this field?"

Gu Jiahua said: "A few days ago, we have reported your suggestions to various petrochemical equipment companies, but we have not received any reply from them yet. According to the information I have, those few powerful companies Some of the big companies are currently working on large-scale projects, and they have no means to separate themselves. Some are only more concerned about how much subcontracting shares they can get from the transformation project of Jiangbei Petrochemical. As for the part of technology transfer, they are not interested. big."

"But...why is that?" Lin Zhenhua was a little depressed. Before that, he was worried that he might be marrying someone else, and finally persuaded the Ministry of Petroleum to turn back the technology transferred from abroad, but fell into the other companies in the same industry.Listening to what Gu Jiahua said now, it seems that people are not interested in this at all, and they care more about how much money they can make from this project.

"The research and development of large-scale ethylene projects is a bottomless pit. If the country does not invest money in it, enterprises will be reluctant to invest." He Chengshan said leisurely, "Xiaolin, you don't understand this aspect. They are all very tense, and have no spare money for technology development. Even if they can obtain the technology transferred from abroad, they have no ability to digest these technologies."

The old man has a deep understanding of this issue. The unit he used to stay in was not willing to spend money on research and development, but would rather spend the money on employee benefits.The situation of Hanhua Heavy Industry is quite different from other units. Under the initiative of Lin Zhenhua, Hanhua Heavy Industry has always been very generous in technology research and development.For the ethylene three-machine project, the State Planning Commission has also invested some funds to support some units to accumulate technology, but according to He Chengshan's knowledge, the funds invested by the state seem to be less than the funds invested by Hanhua Heavy Industry.

"That's right, Hanhua is probably the one who is willing to invest so much money in technology." Wei Dongqi also echoed.

"From this point of view, I really appreciate Manager Lin." Gu Jiahua said, "In fact, our Ministry of Petroleum has been encouraging our subordinate companies to increase their efforts in scientific and technological research and development, but every company is full of thunder and rain. Small, there are a lot of slogans, and when it comes to investing funds, one can complain more than the other. Everyone counts on the Ministry to pay for it. If the Ministry launches a special scientific and technological research project, all units will fight for it. But if it involves The money in their own pockets is not willing to take out a penny."

Lin Zhenhua nodded, he understood the crux of the matter.Large-scale equipment companies are all state-owned enterprises. The leaders of state-owned enterprises have a characteristic, that is, they can be promoted if they do a good job. Today they are factory directors, and tomorrow they may be transferred to industrial halls or ministries.Technological research and development is a long-term matter. It takes ten or eight years to invest money in it, and it is not known when the results will be produced.For those leaders of state-owned enterprises who leave after one term, such long-term investment is tantamount to planting trees for others, and they themselves cannot take advantage of the shade.From the perspective of personal rationality, such an investment is indeed not worthwhile.

But why are you willing to invest in scientific research?Lin Zhenhua couldn't help asking himself.He thought that maybe it was because he had always regarded Hanhua Heavy Industry as his own business, and his own interest had always been in the industry, not in personal promotion.In fact, over the years, many leaders have intended to transfer him to the administrative department, including He Haifeng, who has also expressed to him that if he wishes, he can be transferred to the central government to work.But Lin Zhenhua has no interest in becoming an official. His ideal is to do a good job in the Hanhua Heavy Industry in his hand and let it continue to grow.

"There is no distinction between government and enterprises, which is a fatal flaw of state-owned enterprises." Lin Zhenhua couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's okay, this problem is estimated to be resolved soon." Gu Jiahua said, "You should have heard that the Ministry of Petroleum may have to undergo corporate restructuring and change it into the Petroleum and Natural Gas Corporation. In this way , we are a purely economic management department, without administrative functions, and everyone may be able to concentrate on doing something more.”

"I hope so, our country really needs some enterprises that concentrate on doing things." Lin Zhenhua said.

Lin Zhenhua doesn't care about the affairs of other companies. Of course, even if he cares, it's useless. He still cares more about what benefits Hanhua can get from this matter.Thinking of this, Lin Zhenhua said to Gu Jiahua: "Director Gu, if there is no other company competing with us, then we hope that this time we can completely transfer the key technology of ethylene three machines. Please consider this point from the Ministry."

"If you want technology, the Ministry will naturally support it. But, you have to show something, right?" Gu Jiahua said.

"Show something?" Lin Zhenhua didn't understand, he asked, "What kind of show does Director Gu want us to make?"

Gu Jiahua said: "The State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Petroleum are responsible for raising funds for the technological transformation of Jiangbei Petrochemical. You, Hanhua Heavy Industry, have not paid any money, but you have to obtain the technology transferred by foreign businessmen from it. This is a bit like eating for free. What's more, you are not a company in our system at all."

"Well..." Lin Zhenhua was speechless, and after tossing about for a long time, he really ignored this question.Hanhua Heavy Industry was established on the basis of Hanhua Machinery Factory, which belongs to the Ministry of Chemical Industry, not the Ministry of Petroleum.In Lin Zhenhua's heart, he has always felt that he is a national equipment manufacturing enterprise, and it doesn't matter which department he belongs to.Now think about it carefully, what you think is insignificant, maybe others think it is quite important.

"Or, we can undertake part of the project. We only charge the cost, not the profit. The profit is equivalent to the tuition we pay. Does Director Gu think it's feasible?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Gu Jiahua shook her head and said, "It's not right. Some of our subordinate companies are robbing these engineering projects. They are not happy if they are taken away by you."

"Then..." Lin Zhenhua really couldn't think of any other way.In fact, there are ways. He heard that this time the Ministry of Petroleum took a lot of effort to raise funds for this project, especially the part involving foreign exchange, which was very difficult.Hanhua has a lot of foreign trade orders and has relatively abundant foreign exchange.If he is willing to lend part of the foreign exchange to the Ministry of Petroleum, it is estimated that the Ministry of Petroleum will be very happy.However, he didn't dare to open this hole, otherwise, all the ministries and commissions would come to him to fight the autumn wind in the future, which would be troublesome.

"I do have an idea. I wonder if Manager Lin is interested in hearing it." Gu Jiahua said.

"If Director Gu has any ideas, just ask." Lin Zhenhua said.

Gu Jiahua said: "After receiving the technology transferred from the foreign party this time, you will form some scientific and technological achievements of your own. If Manager Lin doesn't mind, we hope to release these achievements in our name."

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhenhua was a little puzzled, "What Director Gu means is that the Ministry of Petroleum wants to own these achievements?"

"No, no." Gu Jiahua said with a smile, "I know that although you have acquired the technology, you still need a lot of investment to digest and absorb these technologies in the later stage. You have to hand over the technology you have spent your money to develop. Ministry of Petroleum, you will definitely not agree. What I mean is that you can nominally declare that these technologies are commissioned by the Ministry of Petroleum, and as for the ownership of the technologies, you still belong to Hanhua Heavy Industries.”

"In other words, the Ministry of Petroleum needs a political achievement, isn't that right?" Lin Zhenhua suddenly realized.

"You can also say that." Gu Jiahua's face was slightly flushed, Lin Zhenhua's words were too straightforward, there was no reason for such a thing to be said clearly.

"There is no problem at all." Lin Zhenhua readily agreed. In fact, Gu Jiahua's request could not be considered unreasonable. After all, it was a technological transformation project they engaged in, and the technology transferred by the foreign party belonged to them.Hanhua brought these technologies over and left a reputation for others, right?This kind of matter does not cause any harm to Hanhua Heavy Industry, but it is an achievement that can be included in the year-end summary if it is left to the ministries and commissions.

"Manager Lin is really a straightforward person. No wonder Director Zhu of the Machinery Committee is full of praise for you in front of me." Gu Jiahua said with a smile, "Since this is the case, then we will make a deal. We officially entrust Hanhua Heavy Industries The group carried out the research and development of large-scale ethylene three-machines, and used the technical transformation funds to purchase the key technical data of ethylene three-machines from foreign manufacturers and provided them to Hanhua Heavy Industry Group. In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the enterprise, we agree that the future research results , owned by Hanhua Heavy Industry Group. Do you think it is appropriate to say this?"

"Totally fit!" Lin Zhenhua said.

"Also, Mr. He was originally an expert in our petroleum system. When you release the results in the future, can you write his identity as an expert sent by our petroleum department to your Hanhua Heavy Industry?" Gu Jiahua added.

"This is also completely possible." Lin Zhenhua said.

Gu Jiahua said: "Well, we will soon negotiate with the foreign party. At that time, please invite Manager Lin, Director Wei, and Mr. He to participate together. The specific details of technology transfer are still up to you. I understand better."

"By the way, who is the foreign party we have selected so far? Director Gu, can you disclose it so that we can understand the situation of the other party first." Wei Dongqi asked.

Gu Jiahua said: "It's the ALK Group in Germany, you should be familiar with it, right?"

　I'm a little free today, 12000 words in the third shift, you won't scold me, will you?
