super energy power

Time flies by. (This chapter was uploaded by friends)

October 1990, 10.Beijing Asian Games ended.The people and state leaders of the whole country have finally turned their attention to the national economy and the world situation.

At this point, the nationwide inflation that started in 1988 came to an end and was replaced by low consumption.People only feel that money does not depreciate, prices do not rise, and their crazy shopping desires are suddenly reduced, but enterprises are walking in a world of ice and fire.A few months ago, despite the debt and policy risks, things could be sold after all, but now they are good. After the raw materials bought at a large price are produced, no one cares about them. The pressure of inventory makes every enterprise Can't breathe.

In a blink of an eye, newspapers began to describe the state of the economy as "the market is weak". The Chinese people who ended the panic buying wave re-entered the era of savings, and different companies fell into different troubles.

Haicang in Xiamen is like a sea of ​​tranquility, without any waves.Just like Dahua Industrial Group.

The integrated group company has hundreds of millions of assets and cash, and is among the first-class private enterprises at this time.Coupled with the professional market, it has not been greatly impacted.Dahua Gas Company also perfectly controls the five provinces. The earliest Shandong province has entered the charging gas delivery stage. Due to the use of prepaid gas cards, although the speed of recovering funds is not much, it is enough to cover daily operating expenses.

Sioux City himself turned his attention to the methanol base in Haicang.

The first batch of 12 tons of equipment has been transported to the construction site, making the formerly empty land gradually plump.

Dozens of foreign engineers came with the vehicle and took up positions on the construction site.While revising the drawings, implement the equipment and wait for the construction personnel to arrive at the scene.

Large-scale petrochemical equipment such as methanol and ethylene have always been made to order.The next order produces a kit.Sometimes it is modified according to customer needs.For example, the methanol equipment ordered by Sioux City now.It requires the use of domestic catalysts. Compared with foreign products, this method can reduce a lot of costs.

Correspondingly.It is the time when the equipment is in place.Small general-purpose parts are often the first to arrive, such as reaction tanks and other large equipment.Just need to wait slowly.Some popular years even have to wait half a year.

On the one hand, Su Cheng urged, and on the other hand, he rectified the infrastructure of the base.In addition to methanol equipment, living equipment such as dormitories and canteens are also essential.In addition, Dahua Laboratory also secretly studied and studied the 12-ton methanol equipment of Casali Company.

China is a coal-rich country, and its energy structure is dominated by coal.Therefore, petrochemical equipment such as methanol, mainly manufactured by petrochemical companies of state-owned enterprises, also use coal as raw material.Solid coal makes it much more difficult than gasified natural gas.Therefore, domestic methanol equipment is always in the stage of catching up with the world level.

Sioux City started with oil, but now it goes back upstream to petrochemical products.It is already in a state of taut strings.It is not enough to produce petrochemical equipment by ourselves, and it does not conform to economic principles.but.He did not let go of this opportunity. Dahua Laboratory secretly established a petrochemical equipment research institute, recruited some manpower, and started the work of localization first.

This is also the only way for Chinese-style research.First buy a complete set of equipment, no matter how they designed it, first find a way to make the parts, and when every part can be made, you can produce 100% localized knockoff products, and then the next step is to design it yourself , research by yourself.

The research and development method with Chinese characteristics may not sound as cool as the method of foreign research institutions, but it is very practical.

No matter how beautiful the propaganda of scientific research is, no matter how nice the words are, it is false.The most important thing is to be able to develop good things, make money for companies, and keep companies and research structures alive.

Foreign companies spend tens of billions of dollars in assets and billions of dollars in R&D investment, some of which are capital for research from head to toe, and some of which are capital acceptance failures.A company like Casali in Switzerland can invest tens of millions of dollars every year to develop a set of methanol equipment. At the same time, they also need to research large-scale equipment such as ethylene, ethanol, and synthetic ammonia. It is not bad to be half successful every year.As for the time to recover the cost, it is estimated that it will fall in five or even ten years.

Therefore, the 12 tons of methanol they are making money now is likely to be the output of the input 10 or even 15 years ago. Ten years ago in 10, how did China spend tens of millions of dollars to research methanol equipment for several years, not to mention 1980 years ago in 15, even if it invested in research, it would give priority to large-scale research on synthetic ammonia and the like. Fertilizer products.

Even in China in 1990, Sinopec did not dare to rashly invest 1 million US dollars in methanol equipment, not to mention half of the success rate, and even [-]% of it.

In contrast, the step-by-step localization puts little pressure on all parties.Any enterprise can choose one or some parts in the imported equipment for imitation, first imitate wearing parts to replace foreign after-sales service, secondly imitate common parts and general parts, and finally imitate special parts and important parts...

In this way, every step of the way, every research result, can be converted into income in a short period of time. It may only cost a few million or even hundreds of thousands to start a project and recover the cost within one or two years, whether it is Both the producer and the customer can benefit from it.

For China, which is still underdeveloped, nothing is more important than maintaining the survival of enterprises.If a company dies of blood loss due to too much investment in research and development, no matter how beautiful the previous research is, no one will appreciate it.

On the contrary, the gradual localization plan allows Chinese companies with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars to start projects that foreign companies with assets of tens of billions of dollars can start. It is actually a big killer for China's development.Of course, for foreign manufacturers, this process is not so wonderful. Some foreign companies will even file lawsuits because of this, and do everything possible to prevent China's localization in the contract.

Occasionally, they succeed, but most of the time, they fail.

Just like the current Dahua Industry, which sent dozens of professionals to help Casali's engineers for free, no matter how careful they are, there will always be some information leaked out.Even if it is all public information, it is rare information for China in the third world.Especially in the case of targeted, but can understand more things.

With the cooperation of both parties, the design drawings were all in place in only three days.The leading Swiss engineer Buckman was very happy and kept praising the progress of the project.They start work all over the world, and the faster they complete the project, the higher the rewards and salaries they get.

Members of the Dahua Group such as Sioux City are naturally happier. The price of methanol in the international market is three to four hundred dollars per ton, which means that it can produce an additional methanol of 10 dollars a day earlier.

Units such as Shanghai Petrochemical Plant also visited the construction site with great interest.As early as during the bidding for the Seitan Oilfield, in order to deal with the Ministry of Energy, Sioux City promised to import methanol equipment from the Shanghai *Shanghai Petrochemical Plant.However, the output of their methanol equipment could not meet Dahua's demand, so the two sides re-coordinated to learn from Calisa's technology and mainly to transform and disassemble the equipment from Brazil.

The only one who is not happy may be Wang Sheng from the Formosa Plastics Department.The faster Dahua progresses, the greater the pressure on Formosa Plastics.But they still can't prevent Dahua Industrial from starting production - they can't finalize the contract themselves, so can they prevent other companies from finalizing the contract?What's more, Dahua Industrial was invited by them.

Wang Sheng had nothing to say, so he could only wander around the construction site in Haicang.At this time, another convoy came rolling the loess.

"Is there any new equipment?" Wang Sheng was helpless for a while.If Dahua Industrial's methanol equipment is really put into production, Formosa Plastics will be embarrassed.This is not only the pressure from the mainland, but also the pressure from Taiwan. They will not look at Dahua and Haicang bases separately, they will only think that the Haicang project has entered a substantive stage. For Formosa Plastics, this is obviously not What good news.

The convoy finally stopped outside the Dahua Petrochemical Company, and teams of people jumped out of the car carrying shovels and shovels, and then loosely began to line up.

Su Cheng also noticed, left the foreign experts behind, and walked over slowly.

"What is this for?" Wang Sheng was full of doubts.To say that they are here to work, the tools are too crude, and they are just next door to Dahua Petrochemical Company, where the land has just been leveled.

Before Su Cheng saw that Ding Chou Yinmao was coming out, these people ran up shouting slogans.I saw the people in front pushing a wheelbarrow to mark the line, while the people behind went into battle with hoes and shovels and ran out of a ditch.

"Is this going to dig a canal? Is it possible to use this kind of battle?" There were 8 carts and 400 people standing in a row at the scene, and they were working in full swing. Wang Sheng obviously couldn't understand.

Su Cheng stood side by side with him, and said uncertainly: "It seems that there are still trees."

The two guessed wildly for a while, confused.Yang Ming ran to ask, and came back with a strange expression, saying: "They are a construction team organized by the city, and they are all cadres from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Taxation Bureau. They want to build a park outside our factory."

Dahua Chemical Company has 400 mu of land, which is supposed to be relatively spacious, but it can only be greened casually, and it cannot be spread out like a garden.

Seeing Wang Sheng, Yang Ming continued: "All enterprises and institutions in the city must organize their people to participate in the construction of Haicang. From now on, people from one unit will come every day until the park next to our factory is completed."

Wang Sheng asked strangely: "Why don't you let the work be done?"

"If the city wants to show support, it would be more sincere to organize subordinate units." Su Cheng smiled wryly, and seeing Yang Ming hesitated to speak, he asked again: "What's wrong."

Yang Ming hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "When I was asking a question just now, a director of the tax bureau asked me if Dahua Petrochemical could fill in a few more people. I said I couldn't make the decision, and he was not very happy. .”

Speaking of this, Yang Ming felt a little uneasy.He was brought out by Sioux City from the Shengli Machinery Factory, and he is very familiar with the work style of state-owned enterprises and administrative agencies, and he is deeply afraid that he will cause trouble for Sioux City.

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "I'm afraid you won't be the only one who has been asked. How about it, you can ask other cadres, and if you have any requests, please report them."
