1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 341 Boss, They Want to See You

Yang Mo didn't really care how troubled the Eggplant Girl was. What people were fighting for within Dahua Company was ostensibly projects and the right to use funds, but in reality they were fighting for connections and small holdings.

Therefore, people like Eggplant Girl, who have a strong family background but are not the second generation who are being trained as the focus, naturally become the target of all parties to win over.

There’s nothing we can do about it. Who made this androgynous girl have the “highest input-output ratio”?
In fact, as time entered mid-April and Commercial Street 1 was officially opened, Yang Mo was so busy that he had no mood to worry about other people's affairs.
........................

"Chief Yang, this is the solution that is questionable in the second batch of project resource matching. Please take a look and make a decision."

In a temporarily requisitioned office of a comprehensive management company, Zhang Bo, director of the fourth business department, carefully knocked on the door and handed a thick stack of information to Bai Mengmeng.

Although the project of this commercial demonstration zone was led by Yang Mo, according to the original process, it was the Business Department 4 that submitted the project proposal. Therefore, as the project progressed gradually, naturally all the staff in the Business Department 4 became capable men.

Yang Mo, who was writing at his desk, nodded and motioned Zhang Bo to sit down first. After he finished writing the instructions on the document in his hand, he took a rather heavy document from his little apprentice.

"Oh?"

"Five companies have taken a fancy to the Coenzyme Q10 project and are willing to provide 20 yuan per year to the Enzyme Research Institute under the Provincial Department of Science and Technology to research and improve the microbial fermentation extraction method of Coenzyme Q10 in addition to investing in a large-scale biological extraction production line?"

Yang Mo flipped through the information in his hand with great interest.

As an important auxiliary health product for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, people in later generations should have heard of the name of coenzyme Q10.

In fact, China began research on coenzyme Q70 in the 10s and soon achieved results.

However, due to the limitation of technology level, the current extraction technology of coenzyme Q10 in China still stays at the biological extraction method...that is, extracting coenzyme Q10 from animal viscera, mainly pig hearts.

Since the price of the extracted raw materials is not cheap, let’s not talk about the effectiveness of domestic coenzyme Q10, but the price is extremely expensive.

Yang Mo, relying on his own fried chicken, stewed chicken and the increasingly large-scale 817 breeding project, is able to provide a large number of shockingly cheap chicken hearts and other chicken offal at low prices... These things are very difficult to sell as food, but as the raw materials of coenzyme Q10, they are a good choice.

Although the content of coenzyme Q10 that can be extracted from chicken offal is not as high as that from pig offal, it has the advantage of large quantity and low cost. Therefore, if we can establish a large coenzyme Q100 health pharmaceutical factory with an annual production capacity of more than 10KG in a joint venture with Qingfeng Food and the Fifth Farm, it will undoubtedly be the fattest of the fat.

Ok……

That’s right, before the microbial fermentation extraction method was officially put into commercial use, the annual production capacity of 100KG was already a scale that should not be underestimated. You know, there are only a dozen large pharmaceutical companies in China that produce coenzyme Q10, and the production capacity is still at the level of the early 600s, which is about KG a year.

After pondering for a while, Yang Mo neatly placed the information of the five companies on the table with a playful look in his eyes.

Although relying on Qingfeng Food's currently huge 817 broiler breeding scale, cooperating with them on an extremely popular project like coenzyme Q10 is the fattest of the fat, but Yang Mo actually did not regard this project as a treasure.

It's very simple. In two or three years, the microbial fermentation extraction method of coenzyme Q10 and related new processes will achieve a breakthrough and then be quickly put on the market... This technology, which can use solanesol extracted from waste tobacco leaves as raw material and process it into coenzyme Q10, can not only reduce the raw material cost of coenzyme Q10 to an almost negligible level, but also has a production capacity of to tons per year, which is far beyond the reach of biological extraction methods.

He threw out the coenzyme Q10 project as bait, just with the idea of ​​recycling waste, further exploring the value of the 817 broiler industry chain, and providing relatively sufficient scientific research funds to an enzyme research institute that was so poor that it could hardly pay salaries... As a reborn person, no one understood better than him what the five somewhat vague words "enzyme research" meant in the future biomedical field.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo casually pointed to a company from Tiantai, Zhejiang: "Since the conditions are similar, and there is no objection to the share structure... then it's him."

As he spoke, Yang Mo made up a reason: "There are many pharmaceutical companies in Tiantai, Zhejiang, and they are more familiar with the value of coenzyme Q10. In addition, southerners have flexible minds, so they will explore the application scenarios of coenzyme Q10 more fully."

"Of course, this is one of the reasons... Momo Baizha and Momo Bailu will start recruiting merchants nationwide in a while. The economy there is more developed, and it is an ideal market for Momo Baizha. Cooperating with the local bosses in advance will effectively reduce the risk of entering the region."

Zhang Bo had no doubt and nodded immediately.

As Yang Mo said, these five companies selected from more than 30 competitors have similar financial strength, and their evaluation scores in various aspects are not much different. It doesn't make much difference whoever is chosen. It is precisely because of this that they find it difficult to make a decision.

………………

"Huh? Someone is willing to take over the 3,000-acre Pingyin rose planting project so soon?"

Yang Mo was a little surprised when he saw the name on the second document.

In later generations, the Pingyin rose from Qi and Lu, together with the Kuquan rose from Gansu and the Golden Edge rose from southern Yunnan, are known as the three most mainstream edible roses in the country. It can be said that they are good things, and the word "good" is not just limited to food and tea.

However, good things are good things, but in this era when the national per capita GDP has just exceeded US$330, this thing seems a little too out of place.

Generally speaking, when ordinary people of this era mention roses, they think of expensiveness, romance, love, decoration, beauty, luxury...

All these things can only gradually develop into a sufficient market after the per capita GDP exceeds the 1,000 US dollar mark.

If this is a fresh-cut rose planting project, or even a fresh-cut peony planting project, it would be fine. After all, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States have huge demands for fresh cut flowers. Now China's ice-breaking operation has achieved remarkable results. As long as the air transportation problem can be solved, this is undoubtedly an export project with great potential.

But the problem is...

Pingyin rose is an edible rose, not an ornamental rose. Its appearance is not even a little bit inferior to the various modern roses that are becoming popular nowadays... Not to mention that the branches of this thing are not suitable for fresh cut flowers. Even if it is made into potted flowers, it will be extremely difficult to open up the market overseas.

What's more, Yang Mo's 3,000-acre Pingyin rose planting project does not exist independently. In addition to requiring the use of GAP standards for planting, it is also bundled with a series of supporting industrial projects.

Apart from anything else, the requirement to build five medium-sized freeze-drying plants, each of which must be equipped with a 1-square-meter FD device, is enough to scare off many people... not to mention that Yang Mo requires more than just freeze-drying plants to be built as supporting projects?

(One more thing to add: under the leadership of the Food Research Institute of the Ministry of Light Industry, China actually began to study freeze-drying technology and equipment as early as 1956, and as early as 1974, the Meilin Canning Factory had already developed freeze-dried food. The 200㎡ FD equipment mentioned above has also been used in China on a small scale since 1986. It is considered the second generation of commercial medium-sized freeze-drying equipment in China. China still has a solid foundation in industrial technology. Even in the s and s, not all equipment needed to be imported from abroad.)
It can be said that from the current perspective, the Pingyin rose planting project, with a planned first phase of 10 acres, is definitely one of the top projects in terms of investment amount and top three in terms of risk among the many projects in the commercial demonstration zone.

Looking at the only copy of the company information in front of him, Yang Mo's eyes swept over the name of "Shekou Changsheng Precision", a company that seemed incompatible with agricultural projects.

Shekou?

Yang Mo frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Since there is only one company bidding for this project, as long as they follow the rules, then give it to him... Why did they send it to me?"

Yang Mo glanced at Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo heard this and smiled bitterly: "Boss, this edible rose planting base project has been put up for three days, but the investment scale is too large, more than 1300 million, plus everyone is skeptical about this project, so no one has applied for it."

"This is a large project involving 11 villages and employing more than 3000 people... In addition to planting and field management, it can also provide at least 1700 external jobs. Once the initial industrial connection with other units is formed, it can provide even more jobs. I can't help but pay attention to it."

"So, after someone delisted yesterday, I immediately went out in person to contact the other party." Speaking of this, Zhang Bo's expression was a little strange: "Logically speaking, this matter doesn't need to be handed over to you, boss. After all, they all followed the procedures required by us. They verified the capital and provided business information. They also had no objection to the shareholding structure. They also agreed to pay the technical consulting fee to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences for a period of ten years. Even the additional conditions required that the funds be received within fifteen working days and then the GAP planting project be officially launched in the designated village. They didn't say a word."

"But the problem is... after all these were agreed upon, the other party put forward two conditions."

Yang Mo frowned: "What conditions?"

He understood Zhang Bo's feelings very well. The 3,000-acre Pingyin rose planting project was one of the 21 key large-scale projects in the commercial demonstration zone. Moreover, unlike other key projects, the difficulty of attracting investment for this project was much higher than other projects because it lacked industrial demonstration and sufficient market potential. When this project was first proposed, everyone from top to bottom was mentally prepared to switch from attracting investment to internal investment.

Therefore, it is completely understandable that Zhang Bo was excited when he saw someone take the initiative to remove the card.

According to convention, it is completely normal for the other party to propose some conditions that require compromise after investing in such a huge project.

Zhang Bo hesitated when he heard Yang Mo asking, "The other party started out as a light industrial equipment manufacturer. In the past four years, they have also been engaged in the production and assembly of refrigerators and refrigeration equipment.

"Except for the 42 designated manufacturers, the rest of the domestic enterprises are not allowed to produce refrigerators, and it is impossible for them to obtain large-scale quotas for imported compressors and other spare parts. Therefore, their refrigerator business has naturally come to a halt, and even the production and sales of refrigeration equipment are facing huge pressure."

"So, the first request they made this time was that we could mediate and coordinate with the competent authorities to allow DZ City Detai State-owned Refrigeration Equipment Factory to invest in this project... For this, they are willing to give up 10% of the project shares."

"According to the other party, Detai's state-owned refrigeration equipment factory has relatively mature technology in compressor units, air coolers, and expansion valves. Although the quality is not as good as imported ones, it can be barely used... Before freeze-drying edible roses, the raw materials need to be stored at low temperatures. Therefore, letting Detai Refrigeration Equipment Factory invest in the form of technology and equipment also meets the needs of the project."

At this point, Zhang Bo's expression was a little unnatural: "Of course, Boss, you also know that this reason is pure nonsense. Anyone can see what they want;"

"The government is very strict about the assembly and production of refrigerators, but the document doesn't say that cold storage and other refrigeration equipment also need such control."

"Although we all know that local governments have strict control over refrigeration equipment manufacturers, especially those with import refrigeration parts quotas, in order to prevent these imported parts from flowing into society...but there are still loopholes."

Yang Mo nodded: "Once the Detai State-owned Refrigeration Equipment Factory becomes a shareholder of this project, even if Changsheng Precision gets a large number of spare parts, if you really want to argue, it cannot be considered as [flowing to the society], but can be barely considered as internal circulation."

Zhang Bo smiled somewhat awkwardly.

In this era, agriculture and food are not profitable, and general industrial products, clothing and even medicines are not very profitable either. But the only four things that make a lot of money are refrigerators, color TVs, imported cars and health products.

Take refrigerators for example. As early as 1988, among the 66 "non-designated refrigerator manufacturers" in Lin'an alone, more than half of the manufacturers had an annual output value of over million yuan.

You have to understand that it was 1988 when prices had not yet taken off, and the output value of over 1990 million yuan only refers to the ex-factory price... If calculated based on the purchasing power of money in 3 and the market price of these refrigerators, it would be at least million yuan.

Using an investment of 1300 million to exchange for such a big long-term piece of cake is not a loss at all.

Don’t forget, as mentioned in the previous chapter, after the state designated those 42 manufacturers as designated refrigerator production units, some state-owned enterprises actually failed to assemble a production line in four years after obtaining the designated qualifications, and even the factory buildings were not completed.

In other words, from a macro perspective, the country has sufficient quotas for the compressors and key refrigeration parts it imports each year, and many of these quotas are directly allocated to refrigeration equipment factories in various places...and it is obvious that Detai Refrigeration Equipment Factory is one of them.

As for why there are actually quite a few refrigeration equipment factories with import parts indicators all over the country, you are also aware of this loophole, but why do they have to go through such a big detour and spend so much money to obtain a "cooperation qualification" with the Detai State-owned Refrigeration Equipment Factory?
This is crazy. Wouldn't it be better to cooperate directly with Detai State-owned Refrigeration Equipment Factory?

Haha, I can only say that you think too much.

State-owned enterprises are different from private enterprises. You cannot cooperate with them just because you want to, and they cannot cooperate with you just because they want to.

Things like direct contact and cooperation might not have been too difficult four or five years ago. In any case, many domestic refrigeration plants had no market competitiveness and very poor efficiency due to problems with product quality and cost. In that era when private economy was encouraged, as long as you used the name of public-private cooperation and someone else mediate, it would not be difficult to get what you wanted.

But now the wind has changed drastically. The state has begun to vigorously rectify private enterprises, and the refrigerator industry has been used as a model for heavy blows.

At this juncture, how many state-owned enterprises dare to risk your wrath and cooperate with you? Do you really think that the working guidance group is a vegetarian?

Therefore, the importance of Dahua Company is reflected.

This company is a central enterprise, and an experimental one at that. It is itself a son that can be treated differently.

Judging from various performances, the relationship between this central enterprise and the competent authorities of DZ City is a deep cooperative relationship that exceeds many people's expectations.

Therefore, as long as a semi-embedded cooperation can be reached with Dahua Company in a number of large-scale projects in this commercial demonstration zone, Dahua Company can fully help to smooth things out and let the competent authorities of DZ City coordinate to allow Detai to invest in this edible rose planting base and eventually become a family with Detai.

Please note that at this time, Detai Refrigeration Equipment Factory invested in the project under the coordination and instructions of the competent authority, and indirectly became a family with Shekou Changsheng Precision, rather than Detai Refrigeration Equipment Factory itself becoming a "family" with them... There is a huge difference here.

Once the relationship is established legitimately, things will naturally become easier.

........................

After figuring out the key point easily, Yang Mo smiled without commenting.

In fact, he didn't feel too much rejection about this matter.

Just like the automobile industry in the past, the country has done everything it can and protected everything it can. Who can you blame if you don’t live up to expectations?

It has been almost a year since the designated refrigerator production units were established. Look at the 42 designated manufacturers, how many of them have actually started the work?
Appropriate competition is a good thing. Being a mama's boy all your life will lead to no future!

After thinking about it, Yang Mo turned his head and looked at Zhang Bo: "I know the first condition... then what is the second requirement raised by the other party?"

Zhang Bo heard this and smiled bitterly: "The second condition is... the other party wants to meet you, Boss."

Yang Mo was stunned, but he remembered that the investment amount of 1300 million was indeed a very large number at the moment. Although the other party had other intentions, he did not want to lose too much on this Pingyin rose planting project, so it was understandable that he wanted to have an in-depth talk with him and learn more about the situation.

I nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I have some things to deal with. I will be able to squeeze out some time in about an hour and a half. Then you can bring the guest over and I will sit down and have a good chat with him."

Zhang Bo heard this, but his expression was a little strange: "No, boss, you misunderstood. The other party said that he wanted to talk to you, not this kind of chat."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Mengmeng who was standing quietly beside him and said, "Um, Boss, what the other party means is... if your time is convenient, they would like to treat you to a meal tonight."

Oh?
Hearing this, Yang Mo laughed with interest...
