Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 381 Compound Fertilizers

Sui Jianhua excitedly trotted all the way back to the courtyard where he lives now. He is a worker in the Luxiang Chemical Fertilizer Factory, but he was not assigned a house because of his junior qualifications, so he had to find a place to live outside. It's been several years, and there is no hope of dividing the house for a long time.

"Hey, Jianhua, why are you so happy about something good happened?" The neighbors on the left and right asked curiously.

"Our factory is about to be acquired!" Sui Jianhua's mind is now full of good things after the fertilizer factory was acquired by Huinong, wages will definitely increase, right?Bonuses will also increase, right?I just don’t know whether to give them a house or not. I heard that Huinong built a dormitory for his employees in Heyang, so maybe we will have one too?
"Huh? Acquired? You...you're going to be laid off too?" The neighbor was stunned for a moment. Could it be that Jianhua has been stimulated to the point of failure?Otherwise, they are about to be laid off or is this expression?In the past few years, the life of the state-owned enterprises in Luxiang has become more and more difficult. Some have gone bankrupt, some are still there but their wages are not fully paid, and some have been picked peaches. Many workers will be laid off in the future, so now when they hear that the company has been acquired, they subconsciously think of the word laid off.

"Jianhua, what you said is not true. Isn't it true?" Sui Jianhua's daughter-in-law Hu Xueqin ran out when she heard the voice. She used to work in a hardware factory. At the beginning of this year, the hardware factory was bought by a private owner, and she was kicked out. After returning home, the couple and the two children are supported by Sui Jianhua's salary alone. If Sui Jianhua is also laid off, the life of their family will be difficult.

"Jianhua, you have to think of a way early at this time. If you can find someone, hurry up and find someone. If you can't find someone, buy something and send it to the leader. Let's save your job first!" Hu Xueqin is not the only one who has been laid off in this hospital Well, when everyone heard about this matter, there was something hurtful about it, and those who were so enthusiastic hurried to help him out.

"It's a great thing that our factory has been acquired! This time it is Huinong who is going to be acquired! It is Huinong, the richest man in the country! Our factory has long been looking forward to being acquired by Huinong!" Sui Jianhua quickly explained, "Hui Nong Nong is not like those heartless bosses who not only won’t fire us, but also give us a raise!”

"Hehe, daughter-in-law, didn't you always say that the third cousin got a high salary in the food factory? Now, like the third cousin, I am an employee of Huinong. After a few months, I will be re-determined. Well, my salary is higher than his!" Sui Jianhua held his wife's hand and kept giggling.

"Need to reassign the job? Do we have to prepare?" Hu Xueqin has never worked in a chemical fertilizer factory, and he doesn't know Huinong's work style, so he is still a little worried.

"This matter can't be sloppy. The gift that should be given must be given. I have seen this kind of thing a lot. At this time, I must go to give gifts to the person in charge. The person in charge may not remember who gave the gift, but I must Remember who didn't give you a gift, if you don't go to the house, they will wear shoes for you." The neighbor reminded.

"It doesn't matter, I have inquired about it. When Huinong acquires other companies, they will re-evaluate their positions. The people who are assessed are all temporarily transferred from outside. They have nothing to do with the local area. They are all based on their ability. My ability to operate the machine In our factory, it’s relatively high, so you don’t have to worry about it at all!” Maybe you can get a team leader or something, but Sui Jianhua didn’t say this for the time being, so as not to be jealous of others.

"Well, Huinong is really fair. I have a relative who used to work in the city cannery factory. Like Jianhua, he only knows how to work boringly and doesn't know how to please the leader, so he has been unable to get in. As a result, the cannery was bought by Huinong last year. He You performed well during the assessment, and you were promoted immediately, and now you are the deputy director of the workshop! With Jianhua’s ability, you may be promoted soon!” Another neighbor spoke with a sour tone, which is exactly what should be said. In a word for later generations, I am afraid that my brothers will suffer, and I am also afraid that my brothers will drive me away.

"Haven't you eaten yet? I'm going to cut some meat and stir-fry a few dishes. You can accompany Brother Qiang and Uncle Dong to have a drink!" Hu Xueqin felt relieved at this moment, and quickly invited the neighbors to come to eat at home. The neighbors didn't want to go at first. , But after thinking about it, Huinong expanded its enrollment before purchasing the cannery, and this time it might recruit people, so it has to go, tell Sui Jianhua when drinking, and ask him to notify in advance when the time comes.

Sui Jianhua was happy, and the old family courtyard of the chemical fertilizer factory set off firecrackers directly. Except for the management of the original factory, most of the employees were immersed in joy. Huinong came, and good days will come. It must be celebrated. After the firecrackers are set off, the workers find their familiar colleagues and cook a few dishes. While drinking, they happily think about the beautiful life after Huinong took over.

Huinong's acquisition team began to settle in the chemical fertilizer factories in Heyang and Luxiang, and carried out the takeover work familiarly. Accompanied by Jiao Gaoliang, Li Lei came to Zhongzhou Institute of Technology to visit a highly respected old professor and a nationally famous professor. Professor Xu Xiucheng is a fertilizer expert, director of the National Calcium-Magnesium-Phosphorus Compound Fertilizer Technology Research and Promotion Center, and editor-in-chief of "Phosphate Fertilizer and Compound Fertilizer".

"Hello, Professor Xu, we haven't seen each other for a while, and I'm going to trouble you again!" After Li Lei entered, he first introduced Jiao Gaoliang to him, "This is Jiao Gaoliang, a student of Professor Tang from Central Plains University. After graduating, Professor Tang went to California Davis College to study for a Ph.D., and then went to Europe to do slow-release fertilizer research and development. Now he has just returned to China and is the technical director of our Huinong chemical fertilizer field!"

"Oh, I read your paper in a magazine. The quality of the paper is very high, and it gave me a lot of inspiration." Xu Xiucheng said while holding Jiao Gaoliang's hand. Seeing that the younger generation of fertilizer researchers has such an outstanding representative, Xu Xiucheng was also very pleased.

Asking them to sit down and pouring tea for them with his own hands, Xu Xiucheng sat down and recalled, "I remember the last time we met was when you came to the school to donate to us last year, right? Thanks to you Huinong all these years, and It is setting up scholarships, donating money and equipment, but it has helped us solve a big problem!"

"You are welcome, this is a matter of mutual benefit. We donated money, but you have also helped us solve many technical problems? The laboratory has also produced many useful patents." After being polite, Li Lei explained the purpose of coming, "I am here this time because I want to cooperate with you on a big project."

"Oh? What project? You, Mr. Li, said it was a big project, so this project must be great!" Professor Xu regained his energy immediately.

"Didn't I recently acquire several chemical fertilizer factories in Heyang and Luxiang? Now you know the domestic chemical fertilizer industry. Except for the three major fertilizers of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which still need to be imported in large quantities, the development speed of the other two fertilizers It's all very fast!" Potassium fertilizer is the reason for the raw material, and there is no good solution for the time being, while the output of nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer has increased to more than [-] million tons, and the dependence on imports has declined year by year.

"However, the development model of our country's chemical fertilizer industry is still relatively simple, mainly based on simple fertilizers, and the development of more advanced compound fertilizers is relatively slow. It was not until 92 that the first compound fertilizer was produced." Li Lei first reviewed China. The current situation of the chemical fertilizer industry, China's current chemical fertilizer industry can be described in four words: it is big but not strong, and the technology used is still relatively backward, and there is a big gap with developed countries in Europe and the United States.

The so-called compound fertilizer is a chemical fertilizer containing any two or three of the crop nutrient elements nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium made by chemical methods or (and) mixed methods. Its role is to meet the various nutrients needed by agriculture under different production conditions. comprehensive needs and balance.

Compared with simple fertilizers, compound fertilizers have a large number of elements, and some are added with trace elements, which is conducive to the absorption and utilization of crop growth. Resistance is conducive to the improvement of yield and quality, and more importantly, it can also alleviate the compaction of the land after a large amount of fertilization, which is conducive to the long-term development of agriculture.

Just like Huinong's other industries, since Li Lei wants to do it, he must do the best, so he plans to carry out technological reforms on the chemical fertilizer plants in Heyang and Luxiang, no longer producing the previous single-quality fertilizers, and switching to Xu Xiucheng is an authority in the field of compound fertilizers to produce compound fertilizers with higher technical content and more benefits to the common people, so I came to him specifically for cooperation.

Mr. Xu was born in AH in the 30s. In the turbulent years, in order to avoid the war, he followed his parents to Jiangxi when he was young. He was admitted to Tianjin University shortly after liberation. Department of Chemical Engineering, majoring in Inorganic Physics, and majored in chemical fertilizers in the fourth year of university. After graduation, he stayed at the school to teach and continue to research fertilizers.

At the end of the 50s, in order to support the grain production of Central Plains Province, Professor Xu came to work at Central Plains Institute of Technology. At that time, Professor Xu had just got married and was enjoying the sweet life after marriage. However, when the leader asked for advice, he agreed without hesitation. , and then came to Central Plains Province to work with his wife.

At that time, it was a period of three years of economic difficulties, and the conditions for running the school were very difficult. He still insisted on doing research and discovered American calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer from a Japanese magazine. However, the mathematical model he established was wrong, so he established a new mathematical model by himself. Models and mathematical expressions, after repeated studies, he successfully optimized the glass structure model of calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer reasonably, and proposed to use the "glass structure factor" batching method to guide the production of calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer ingredients. This research result has turned a number of chemical fertilizer factories into It has made outstanding contributions to the increase of national grain production.

Afterwards, he continued to deepen his research in this field. First, he lowered the lower limit of the phosphate rock used in the production of calcium-magnesium phosphate fertilizer by 9.5%, creating revenues worth hundreds of millions. Then he successfully developed the technology of wrapping urea in calcium-magnesium phosphate And equipment, this technology is the slow-release fertilizer that Jiao Gaoliang is currently researching. Li Lei came to him this time because he wanted him to cooperate with Jiao Gaoliang to develop a better compound slow-release fertilizer by taking advantage of their respective advantages.

"There is indeed this problem. The country's investment in this area is still relatively small. If it weren't for you before, I guess I could only cooperate with American companies." Xu Xiucheng sighed. A few years ago, an American company saw For his thesis, he wanted to find him to cooperate in the development of new fertilizers. Fortunately, Li Lei also found him at this time and was willing to sponsor his research. Xu Xiucheng did not choose to cooperate with an American company.

In the original history, the Lexishi brand fertilizer jointly developed by Xu Xiucheng and an American company has become a world-renowned fertilizer brand. Now, this brand probably needs to change its name.

"This time I plan to increase investment and cooperate with the University of Technology to establish a new research institution. You and Mr. Jiao will be responsible for the joint research and development of compound slow-release fertilizers that can be used for large-scale industrial production. As long as you have any needs, please feel free to ask. I will take care of the rest! My only request is to realize industrial production as soon as possible, so as to make up for the shortcoming of our country's low proportion of compound fertilizer!" Li Lei plans to make great efforts this time.

"This is really great. My research has reached the critical moment of breakthrough. As long as the funds and equipment can keep up, I will be able to achieve results soon! Now there is Gao Liang, who has deep research in the field of slow-release fertilizers. With the help of experts, the goal will definitely be achieved!" Xu Xiucheng was very happy. As an agricultural researcher, he really wanted to see his achievements benefit farmers as soon as possible, but due to insufficient funds, his dream was repeatedly delayed. Now there are With the help of Huinong, he can finally realize his dream.

"In addition to these, I also want to ask for your help to provide more talents for our new fertilizer factory." It is not enough to research fertilizers alone. The specific production process also requires a large number of professionals, because Xu Xiucheng is here, Zhongyuan University of Technology The quality of the talents cultivated is quite good. Li Lei has long set his sights on this resource, and since it is here this time, he must not let it go.

"Students go to your place, and they can better use their knowledge. I am sure that they will go to you. When the time comes, you will arrange a few people to come over. I will organize the students to listen to their lectures. In the end, how many people are willing to go will depend on you." You guys are up to it!" Xu Xiucheng agreed wholeheartedly.

With the expansion of university enrollment year after year, the status of university graduates is also gradually declining. Although the state also distributes pocket bags, it is difficult for ordinary college students to be assigned good jobs. The government also encourages companies to hire college students, so now Li Lei wanted to come to the university to recruit, and it was much more convenient than before.

Then the three chatted about the development direction of slow-release compound fertilizers. Xu Xiucheng introduced his research to them, Jiao Gaoliang talked about his research in Europe, and Li Lei also revealed some materials in his mind in a timely manner. These words Let Xu Xiucheng look at him with admiration, "The few times we met before, we didn't talk too much about professional things. I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of this aspect! It really gave me a lot of inspiration."
