Chapter 366
"Little Lin, you won."

After finishing the negotiation with ALK, Gu Jiahua and Lin Zhenhua shook hands and congratulated him.The win he mentioned not only meant that Lin Zhenhua obtained the key technology of ethylene equipment transferred from ALK as he wished, but also meant that the scene that Lin Zhenhua invited An Zixuan, Zhang Yihua and others to perform together was a success.Gu Jiahua is very clear about the details of this scene. Gu Jiahua sincerely admires the level of director Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua grinned, and said polite words: "Thank you, Director Gu, thank you, Director Zuo, thank you to the leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum and the State Planning Commission, and thank you to CCTV..."

Zuo Jimin from the State Planning Commission stepped forward and asked curiously: "Xiao Lin, I was wondering, how did you know that they would definitely give in? If I were a senior executive of ALK, I saw that you Chinese have research and development. ability, I should keep it more secret, how could it be the opposite?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "I am also blind. I heard some old comrades say that when Western countries transfer technology to us, they are selective. The more technology we have, the more they are willing to transfer it, but we have not mastered it. They will never transfer the technology. They hope that through the transfer of technology, we will let us give up independent research and development. A few days ago, I took Khedira and the others to the Petrochemical Design Institute to show their strength. psychology."

What Lin Zhenhua said about listening to old comrades is actually just an excuse. His knowledge comes from the experience and lessons summed up by people of later generations.In the decades since China opened up to the world, we have suffered many such losses.Originally, our own research on a certain technology has reached a critical moment. Once we break through, a chain reaction will be formed. At this time, large foreign companies will come and transfer technology to us at a very low price to suppress our own. research ability.

Of course, the Chinese are not fools. After suffering a little loss in the early stage, we understand the mystery of this, and sometimes we can take advantage of the other party's mentality, plan tricks, and dig a hole for the other party to jump into.To put it simply, foreign manufacturers are trying to use sugar-coated bullets to blow up our scientific research capabilities, but our approach is to leave the sugar-coated shells and return them.

Zuo Jimin is also a smart person, Lin Zhenhua figured out the joints with such a light touch.He nodded and said: "Xiaolin, what you said is very important. After I go back, I will report to the leader of the planning committee. We must carefully review the technology introduction in the past few years, and try to avoid any problems caused by the introduction of technology. And the situation of giving up independent research and development. Parents and mothers have it, it is better to have it ourselves. We have mastered the research and development capabilities ourselves, and we don’t need to ask others in the future.”

"That's great." Lin Zhenhua said joyfully, "This time, thanks to Director Zuo's strong support, otherwise, as a small company manager, I really wouldn't dare to handle such a big thing."

Zuo Jimin smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Lin, you are not a small business manager. You were recommended by Director He of the Economic Reform Commission. We dare not neglect you. You may not know about Director He's work. , may change in the near future.”

"Oh?" Lin Zhenhua was taken aback for a moment, He Haifeng did not tell him about the change.The last time he saw He Haifeng was a few months ago. He has been busy negotiating with ALK during this time. He flew back and forth between Xunyang and Beijing, and never bothered to visit He Haifeng again.

"Which unit will Director He be transferred to?" Lin Zhenhua asked Zuo Jimin.

Zuo Jimin lowered his voice and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Gossip, don't spread it outside. There is a rumor in our committee that Director He may be transferred to us as the deputy director."

"That's really great." Lin Zhenhua clapped his hands and praised.He Haifeng is now the director of a research office of the Economic Reform Commission and a director-level cadre.If you are transferred to the State Planning Commission as a deputy director, you will be at the deputy ministerial level, and you will officially enter the ranks of senior officials.Lin Zhenhua also figured out another level of things at once, no wonder Zuo Jimin was so polite to him, he was introduced by He Haifeng, and He Haifeng will become Zuo Jimin's immediate boss in the future.

After chatting with Zuo Jimin, Lin Zhenhua turned back to continue communicating with Gu Jiahua. He said, "Director Gu, according to the plan we agreed on earlier, Hanhua Heavy Industry is the only transferee of the technology transferred by ALK this time. This won’t change, will it? In order to settle this ALK, I transferred all the resources I could use, no credit but hard work, right?”

Gu Jiahua smiled and said: "Xiao Lin's words are too modest. This time, you have both credit and hard work. What we have agreed in advance will not change. However, I still want to say something, you Hanhua Although heavy industry has formed some accumulation over the years, its strength is still limited, right? Can your family afford a project as large as 30 tons of ethylene?"

Gu Jiahua's words are very objective.The construction of a 30-ton ethylene project in China requires an investment of 70 billion yuan based on the current price level, which involves hundreds of sets of machinery and hundreds of pressure vessels. This is not what Hanhua Heavy Industry can afford at present. down.In terms of technology, although the technology transferred by ALK can be obtained, it is impossible to rely solely on the strength of the Hanhua family when it comes to the production of large-scale cracking furnaces, large-scale process screw compressors, low-temperature ethylene pumps, and large-scale reciprocating labyrinth compressors. Achieved.

To give a simple example, to engage in large-scale process screw compressors, the manufacturing process of large rotors is a stumbling block.This process involves a series of links such as smelting of special steel, blank casting, forging, heat treatment, precision machining, etc., and Hanhua Heavy Industry has no technical accumulation in these aspects, even if it can get all the drawings and technical parameters from ALK Can only be hopeless.

"So what if we can't eat?" Lin Zhenhua complained, "Director Gu, we don't have the idea of ​​eating alone, but now the Ministry of Petroleum doesn't come forward to organize forces, what can we do?"

He Chengshan interjected from the side: "Director Gu, I participated in the 11-ton ethylene research project back then, which was jointly organized by the Ministry of Petroleum, the First Ministry of Machinery, and the State Planning Commission. That was It was a real concentration of elite troops from all over the country, but it was a pity that the country's industrial foundation was too weak at that time, and it fell short in the end. This time, is it possible for us to organize it again?"

Gu Jiahua turned her head to look at Zuo Jimin, said with a chuckle, "This matter must be decided by Director Zuo."

Zuo Jimin said: "It's not something I can decide on. However, as far as I know, there is little hope for the State Planning Commission to come forward to do this. Now our Planning Commission is also doing it. The reform has shifted from prescriptive planning to guiding planning. Recently, some scholars have proposed to implement indicative planning, that is to say, we do not even have the power to guide, but only point out a direction to enterprises and how to do it specifically. , It’s all handed over to the enterprise to complete.”

"However, large-scale ethylene equipment is a major equipment project related to the country's industrial strength, and the Planning Commission didn't say anything?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Zuo Jimin smiled wryly and said: "For such a major project, our Planning Commission has more than just this one? Let me do the math for you, 500 kV and 750 kV ultra-high voltage power transmission and transformation complete sets of equipment, 700 megawatts Hydrogenerator sets, 2350 mm high-precision cold-rolling complete sets of equipment, large open-pit mining excavators, 10 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas carriers... tell me, which one is not a major equipment that is critical to the country's industrial strength? We plan Even if the whole body is iron, it is not enough to make a water turbine rotor."

"Hehe, I understand, I understand." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "Since it is impossible for the planning committee to come forward directly to develop large vinyl equipment, can you provide us with some moral support?"

"What is moral support?" Zuo Jimin was at a loss. He is actually a relatively open-minded official, but when talking to Lin Zhenhua, he was often overwhelmed by Lin Zhenhua's weird thinking.

Lin Zhenhua put away his teasing look, and said to Gu Jiahua and Zuo Jimin: "Both directors, the transfer of technology from ALK has almost been finalized. As the transferee of the technology, Hanhua Heavy Industry will fulfill our mission and do our best. The power to digest, absorb, and transform these technologies into technologies with independent intellectual property rights. However, it is useless for us to have these technologies. As Director Gu said, the strength of our Hanhua family is not enough to complete What’s more, our goal is not 30 tons of ethylene, but 30 tons, which I solemnly promised to Mr. He.”

"80 tons!" Gu Jiahua's eyes widened, "Xiao Lin, your heart is really too big."

"Director Gu, if you don't want to be a marshal's soldier, you're not a good soldier. Not only do we want to produce 80 tons, we also plan to produce 100 million tons. We can't always follow behind ALK, we will one day be with ALK It's a competition, and I believe that they will lose sooner or later." Lin Zhenhua said coquettishly.

"Young people are awesome, young people are awesome." Gu Jiahua shook his head lightly and said, he didn't know if Lin Zhenhua's words were grandiose or not.However, Lin Zhenhua wants to do things, Gu Jiahua can see this very clearly, and it is always worth encouraging those who are willing to do things.

"Since the two directors are here today, I would like to ask for an idea for the two directors to consider." Lin Zhenhua continued.

"Speak." Gu Jiahua and Zuo Jimin said at the same time.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Director Zuo is right. It is out of date for the government to organize large-scale technical research. The government should play a guiding and service-providing role, and the specific tasks should be left to enterprises. Our Han Huazhong Industry boldly wants to make a request that we take the lead to organize key enterprises in the petrochemical system, machinery, and metallurgy systems across the country to form a strategic alliance through economic means to jointly overcome the difficulty of 30 tons of ethylene equipment. The two directors think how?"
