Chapter 395
Jiang Wuyuan, the technical director of the Northern Petroleum Machinery Factory, came out of the administrative office building dejectedly, and walked listlessly to the laboratory building where the technical department was located.In his hand, he was holding a thin document titled "Report on the Experiment of Low-Temperature Steel for a Large-scale Ethylene Spherical Tank of 1000 Cubic Meters".At the top of this request for instructions, there is also an instruction from the factory director: due to financial difficulties, no funding will be considered for the time being.

Walking into the director's office, the technician Xu Minxia greeted him, and greeted Jiang Wuyuan: "Director Jiang, are you back?"

"I'm back." Jiang Wuyuan said wearily, he walked to his desk and sat down, throwing the report on the table.

Xu Minxia poured some water into Jiang Wuyuan's cup with a thermos, and then asked, "Director Jiang, has the factory manager approved our application?"

Jiang Wuyuan shook his head and said: "The factory said that the funds are difficult now, so I don't think about it."

"We only need 100 million, and the factory has no money?" Xu Minxia said dissatisfied.She is a college student assigned to work in the factory just last year. Because of her cleverness and solid technical skills, she was transferred to Jiang Wuyuan as her assistant.This request for instructions came from her hand.

Jiang Wuyuan sighed, and said, "Alas, this is actually expected. Low-temperature steel is a bottomless pit, and throwing in 100 million yuan may not make a sound. It is normal for the factory to have no confidence."

"But we have to try it out, right? We don't want to spend money every time, so when can we produce our own steel?" Xu Minxia muttered.

Jiang Wuyuan smiled reluctantly, and said: "Xiao Xu, you are still young and don't understand the things involved. Forget it, since there is no funding, then let's not do the experiment, let's start with the analysis of the literature. Factory Li actually approved 5 yuan, agreeing for us to purchase some foreign materials.”

"How much material can 5 yuan buy?" Xu Minxia said disdainfully.The price of foreign materials is very expensive. If the 5 yuan is converted into US dollars, that is 1 yuan. If you order a few foreign journals on chemical industry, materials, welding, etc., and buy a few professional books, you will basically bottomed out.As for buying a professional research report, you don't even have to think about it.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Jiang Wuyuan interrupted Xu Minxia's complaint, and asked her, "Did someone come to see me this morning?"

"Oh, that's right!" Xu Minxia remembered that she had forgotten an important thing, and she said hastily: "Director Jiang, a southerner came here. He was quite young and brought Xiaomi with him. Hearing what he said, He is the deputy general manager of some company in Jiangnan Province."

"Young deputy general manager? With Xiaomi?" Jiang Wuyuan frowned.

It has been 10 years since the reform and opening up, and now society is becoming more and more tolerant, so more and more officials and business leaders don't care much about their own image.These people often bring a young female secretary to swagger through the city, and the relationship between them is always so ambiguous.Everyone has seen it a lot, so they call these female secretaries Xiaomi, which is a sticky and sweet health food.

Jiang Wuyuan is a college student in the 60s. He is an old-school technician. He is very disgusted when others bring Xiaomi.However, he seemed to have forgotten one thing. If others saw him with a young female assistant like Xu Minxia, ​​they would probably think it belonged to Xiaomi.

"What do they want from me?" Jiang Wuyuan asked Xu Minxia.

Xu Minxia said: "The man said that he came here because of his fame and wanted to discuss cooperation with you."

Jiang Wuyuan said: "What kind of cooperation can I have with a person with Xiaomi?"

Having said that, since they came here specially to find him, he couldn't miss him.Xu Minxia told him that the visitor had already been arranged to wait in the reception room, Jiang Wuyuan tidied up a bit, and then, together with Xu Minxia, ​​came to the reception room.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Wuyuan felt a little surprised that the young couple in front of him were not as vulgar and wretched as he imagined.The man is a 27-year-old handsome young man, about 1.7 meters tall, with a strong body and no fat.There was a gentle smile on his face, and a kind of alertness and wisdom in his eyes.

The other girl is beautiful and natural, about 1.6 meters tall, with a peach-like face, a ponytail tied behind her head, watery eyes, full of aura.She was dressed very plainly, and her expression was very pure, far from the image of Xiaomi in Jiang Wuyuan's mind.

"Sorry for keeping you guys waiting for a long time. I heard from Xiao Xu that you are here to look for me?" Jiang Wuyuan said to the two.

The male guest stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Jiang Wuyuan, and said, "Is it Director Jiang? It's very presumptuous. We came to visit you because of your reputation. My name is Lin Zhenhua, the deputy general manager of Jiangnan Province Hanhua Heavy Industry Group Company. This is He Lan, a third-year student in the Department of Planning Economics of Renmin University of China, who is currently an intern in our company, and this time he is here to be my assistant."

It was He Haifeng's request to Lin Zhenhua to let He Lan participate in this ethylene battle.He felt that his daughter's thinking was very dangerous and very sad, but he couldn't find a good way to change his daughter's view of the country.When inviting Lin Zhenhua to dinner, He Haifeng had an idea and came up with an idea, that is to let He Lan join Lin Zhenhua's project team to really understand this country through practice.

He Lan has always believed that after the turmoil, this country is no longer worthy of her nostalgia, and she also called this country the country of corrupt officials.He Haifeng's idea is to let her go to the grassroots to get in touch with those workers and technicians who silently contribute to the country.He believed that He Lan could learn something from these people.

Lin Zhenhua also has a kind of love for He Lan like his own sister, and he is willing to create an opportunity for He Lan to get to know the real China.In this way, he recruited He Lan into the company in the name of an intern and took her to various meetings.This time, she was brought to the northeast again to visit Jiang Wuyuan, an authority on pressure vessels.

Lin Zhenhua's understanding of Jiang Wuyuan came from the introductions of Wei Dongqi and He Chengshan.But Jiang Wuyuan couldn't remember who this Lin Zhenhua was in front of him for a moment.While shaking hands with Lin Zhenhua, he searched for the name in his mind.He believed that he must have heard of this name, but he really couldn't remember what this person did.

"Manager Lin, what's the matter with you coming to our Beishiji this time?" Jiang Wuyuan asked Lin Zhenhua after the host and guest were seated.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Director Jiang, it's like this. I heard that you are a well-known pressure vessel expert in the petrochemical equipment industry. This time, I came to Beishiji to discuss cooperation with Director Jiang. of."

"Oh? Are you going to make a pressure vessel?" Jiang Wuyuan asked, he didn't think too much, he just regarded Lin Zhenhua as an ordinary customer.He didn't know what Hanhua Heavy Industry did. He thought it was a chemical company and wanted to find their factory to make equipment.

Lin Zhenhua took out a blueprint from his bag, handed it to Jiang Wuyuan, and said, "Director Jiang, take a look at this, can our factory do it?"

Jiang Wuyuan took the drawing, glanced at it inadvertently, and was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at Lin Zhenhua, and asked, "Your...is a vinyl spherical tank!"

Lin Zhenhua had expected Jiang Wuyuan to have such an expression. He nodded lightly and said, "Yes, the vinyl spherical tank has a diameter of 14200 mm and a steel plate thickness of 38 mm."

"This is a 1500 cubic meter spherical tank! Where is it used?" Jiang Wuyuan asked, he can report the volume of this spherical tank without using a calculator, because he has read countless information about it.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Director Jiang should have heard of Jiangbei Petrochemical's 45-ton ethylene renovation project, right?"

"Isn't the construction of this project stopped?" Jiang Wuyuan said. Just as he said this, a name suddenly flashed in his mind like an electric light: "You just said...you are Lin Zhenhua!"

It turned out that this person was Lin Zhenhua, and Jiang Wuyuan finally remembered why he felt a little familiar with this name.Lin Zhenhua and his Hanhua Heavy Industry were not originally in the petrochemical system. The main products of the chemical equipment company under Hanhua Heavy Industry were fertilizer equipment, not petrochemical equipment.But last year, Lin Zhenhua came to the Ministry of Petroleum and participated in the negotiation of ethylene equipment between the Ministry of Petroleum and ALK Company.It was at that time that Jiang Wuyuan heard about the names of Hanhua Heavy Industry and Lin Zhenhua from some friends. He also knew that Hanhua Heavy Industry had obtained the information on 30 tons of ethylene transferred by ALK.You know, these materials are what Jiang Wuyuan pursued diligently.

For Hanhua Heavy Industry, Jiang Wuyuan was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, but he had no choice.He once made a report to the factory, hoping that the North Petroleum Machinery Factory could bid for the 30-ton ethylene project.But the factory director told him that the factory does not have so much funds to support the follow-up research work. You must know that it is far from enough to get the materials transferred by ALK. Not so much money.

As an old worker in the factory, Jiang Wuyuan also knew that the factory director's concerns were right.If we want to produce 30 tons of ethylene, the initial research investment may not be able to stop with tens of millions, or it will cost hundreds of millions.The investment of hundreds of millions of yuan in scientific research is unimaginable for the North Petroleum Machinery Factory.

Jiang Wuyuan also wondered why this little-known Hanhua Heavy Industry dared to take on a project that Beishiji did not dare to take on?At this time, an insider told him that Hanhua Heavy Industry has a very attractive leader named Lin Zhenhua, who is more willing to throw money for scientific research than anyone else.An investment of [-] million yuan in scientific research may be an astronomical figure for Beishi Machinery, but it is completely possible for Hanhua Heavy Industries.

In this way, Jiang Wuyuan remembered the name: Lin Zhenhua.However, in his mind, Lin Zhenhua should be a hale and hearty old leader with high morals. How could he associate this pair of young people who are like golden boys and girls with Lin Zhenhua?
