Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 98 Fertilizer Factory

contract?This is a great thing for some self-made people, who can use this opportunity to make money, but Li Lei has passed the stage of primitive capital accumulation, and there is no need to get his hands dirty just for cheap.

So he subconsciously refused, "Leader, I just started running the feed factory recently, and the farm is expanding again. I really don't have the energy to take over another factory."

"You act like I don't know what's going on in your factory? With so many college students coming in, plus the retired workers from the big Zhongzhou factory, it's not a problem to set up a factory, so why do you have to keep an eye on it every day? If I don't know this , will let you come over to contract?" Obviously, Xing Shuwang has done his homework.

"Leader, I'm a student of agriculture, and I only know agriculture. If you ask me to set up other factories, I can't do it!" Li Lei had to change another excuse.

"You didn't even hear me say what kind of factory it is? You can conclude that it has nothing to do with agriculture? Let me just say it straight, the problem this time is the fertilizer factory in the county! How dare you say that fertilizer has nothing to do with agriculture?" Xing Shuwang laughed angrily. , When others heard that they had the opportunity to contract the factory, they were too happy to be happy, but you are better off, and you don't want it when it is delivered to your door.

"Eh!" Li Lei became confused. The fertilizer factory has too much to do with agriculture. A large part of the information in his mind is about fertilizers. It's really no problem for him to contract the fertilizer factory.

"What's wrong with the fertilizer factory now?" Li Lei couldn't bear to refuse now, because until 1997, the fertilizer industry was not open to private companies, which means that even if you have money, you can't open a fertilizer factory by yourself. Only state-owned enterprises are allowed to enter.

Contracting is a good opportunity to enter the field with a curve. Li Lei knows many cases, such as a well-known chemical fertilizer brand in Southwest China. The director stood up and offered to contract the factory.

After being approved by his superiors, he first reformed the management system and improved the quality of employees, and then used his personal connections to hook up with a tobacco company and developed a compound fertilizer specially for tobacco. The fertilizer factory took this opportunity to turn around and made huge profits .

The deputy factory director also took this opportunity to complete capital accumulation, and took advantage of the tide of state-owned enterprise restructuring at the end of the century to turn state-owned enterprises into private enterprises.

Now you can boldly upgrade the technology and expand the production scale with confidence. After years of development, the company has become a banner in the special compound fertilizer industry. There is indeed something to learn from this experience.

"Now the management of the factory is in a mess. The quality of the fertilizers produced has dropped again and again, and no one is willing to buy them! The factory has been losing money for years, and whenever it loses money, it seeks relief from the county. The county can't stand it now, and has replaced them one after another. There are several factory managers, but none of them work!"

"A few days ago, the county's team had a special meeting to discuss the issue of the fertilizer factory. At the meeting, someone suggested that since the conventional method doesn't work, it's better to use a strong medicine! Didn't the internal reference this year keep talking about Ma Shengli? Then we can also learn, just contract out the fertilizer factory!"

"I thought of you at the time. Your farm and feed factory are booming now, and you are a student of agriculture. It's better to let you contract the fertilizer factory than to let someone else do it?"

"I do know a little about the production process of chemical fertilizers, but for such a big matter, I must think about it carefully. At least I must first understand the situation of the factory?" Li Lei began to weigh the gains and losses.

There are advantages and disadvantages to agreeing to contract the fertilizer factory. The advantage is that you can enter the fertilizer production industry more than ten years in advance, but the disadvantage is that the contract is only a contract after all, and the property rights of the fertilizer factory still belong to the state.

If Li Lei completes the factory and takes it back to the country in the future, he will definitely not be reconciled; but if he makes the factory his own, there will be certain risks, and it is easy to be labeled as embezzling state property.

"There are materials, I will show them to you right now!" Xing Shuwang returned to the study, took out a folder and handed it to Li Lei, "You read it first, and we will talk after reading it!"

From Li Leifan's point of view, the experience of the Heyang County fertilizer factory is similar to that of most small fertilizer factories in China. In a sense, these small fertilizer factories are all witnesses of China's fertilizer industry.

China's local chemical fertilizer industry can be traced back to the period of the Republic of China. In the 30s, national entrepreneurs such as Fan Xudong established China's first chemical fertilizer factory in Nanjing, Yongli Sulphate Plant. The fertilizer industry began to start, but it was not until the founding of New China in 1949 However, agricultural production throughout the country is still dominated by farmyard manure.

In 1954, Hou Debang, one of the founders of China's modern chemical industry and the founder of the "Hou's Alkali Production Method", said at the first National People's Congress that what farmers need most to increase production is chemical fertilizers; he suggested that the country should respond accordingly in construction Increase chemical fertilizer factories, such as nitrogen fertilizer factories, phosphoric acid fertilizer factories, etc.

This is how the chemical fertilizer industry in New China started. During the period of the first five-year plan, the former Soviet Union assisted in the construction of three chemical fertilizer plants in Jilin, Lanzhou, and Taiyuan.

In the Fourth Five-Year Plan in 1970, the state required all provinces and regions to develop small coal mines, small iron and steel plants, small chemical fertilizer plants, small cement plants and small machinery plants, which are commonly known as the five small industries. The Heyang County Fertilizer Plant was established during this period Construction is complete.

Since 1973, China has spent a lot of foreign exchange to import 13 sets of large-scale synthetic ammonia and urea plants from the United States, the Netherlands, RB, France and other countries, laying the foundation for future grain harvests.

Up to now, China has become the world's third largest producer of chemical fertilizers after Sumei. However, the rapid development of the country's chemical fertilizer industry is not necessarily a good thing for small chemical fertilizer factories.

Heyang County Chemical Fertilizer Factory mainly produces calcium superphosphate phosphate fertilizer. This kind of fertilizer has simple production process, small investment and quick effect. It is indeed the first choice for small chemical fertilizer factories.

However, because of this reason, the seven or eight counties around Heyang all started production lines for calcium superphosphate phosphate fertilizer at the same time, and Zhongzhou also spent a lot of investment to build a large factory in the city, which resulted in a local overcapacity situation Coupled with the fact that the dual-track system has broken the unified purchase and unified marketing, some chemical fertilizer factories with high production costs and low product quality cannot persist.

Other places can still use the advantage of transportation costs or local protectionism to keep the status of the county's fertilizer factory, but Heyang County can't, because Heyang is too close to Zhongzhou.

In terms of transportation, Heyang is only an hour away from Zhongzhou, and this freight cost is nothing to Zhongzhou Fertilizer Factory.

If you want to engage in local protectionism, the director of the chemical fertilizer factory is higher than Xing Shuwang, and you can often see the provincial leaders. If you say something casually, Xing Shuwang and the others should be criticized.

Their own products are not good, and the nearby competitors are too strong. It is no wonder that Heyang County Fertilizer Factory can do well!
