Material Empire

Liu Shuo's words of "auntie" made Qin Hailei so choked up. At the age of her mother Zong Huiying, calling "big sister" in front of Liu Shuo is considered old, how can she be promoted to become an aunt. Fortunately, Zong Huiying came from the countryside and is used to various titles of different generations. In her heart, she believed that Liu Shuo and the others were Qin Hai's friends, so she accepted the call of aunt calmly.

Qin Hai cupped his hands to Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling, and said, "I won't refuse everyone's wishes. Brother Liu and Sister Huang will thank you all on behalf of my family after returning home. For such a small matter, you even made a special trip, I am really sorry. Since you are here, stay in Anhe for a few more days, I will find someone to arrange a car for you, and take you to see some famous scenic spots in our province."

"No, no, no." Huang Yanling waved her hands again and again, "Director Qin, we can see you and uncle and aunt, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved. We will go back to Linxi tomorrow by car. There are still many things in the factory Well. By the way, there is actually one more thing we want to ask Director Qin about this trip..."

Speaking of this, her tone became a little hesitant, and she kept looking at Liu Shuo with her eyes, as if she wanted to say something but it was inconvenient to say it.

Qin Minghua frowned slightly. Qin Minghua could completely understand Huang Yanling's affectation. It can be guessed that the main purpose of their trip was actually what Huang Yanling wanted to talk about, and this matter obviously might make Qin Hai feel unhappy, so Huang Yanling put on such a posture. Thinking about it further, Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling must have had a tacit understanding in advance on this matter. The current situation is clear that they want Huang Yanling to sing bad faces, and Liu Shuo will act as a backup and come out to sing red faces when necessary.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Qin Hai retains the decision-making power for Brother Ceramics Factory, and Qin Hai must agree to any major decisions. Although the two parties are said to be in a cooperative relationship, Qin Hai and Liu Shuo and others only met once, and Sha Renyuan, who played the role of go-between, has passed away, so if Liu Shuo, Huang Yanling and the others have any ideas, they would like to discuss with Qin Hai , It is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Qin Hai is also a smart person. He has more than 50 years of experience in his two lifetimes. How can he not see Huang Yanling's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Sister Huang has something to say, but it's okay to say, we are actually a family, and everything can be discussed."

Liu Shuo gave Huang Yanling an affirmative look, and Huang Yanling then said timidly, "Director Qin, it's like this. The policy you set for our ceramics factory was to produce industrial ceramics. At present, we The sales of industrial ceramics are not bad, and it is expected to make a profit of more than 300,000 yuan this year. However, according to our observation, the market for industrial ceramics is not particularly ideal, so we want to try civil ceramics to see if there is any problem. "

"This is what you want to talk about?" Qin Hai was a little surprised. His positioning for Brother Ceramics Factory is to engage in industrial porcelain. This market is actually very broad, but because the current brand influence of the factory is not enough, many customers do not recognize the account of Brother Ceramics Factory. As long as it persists, the final development will be better than civilian use. Porcelain is much stronger. However, even though he had such an idea, Huang Yanling's idea of ​​making porcelain for civilian use was not a deviant move, so there was no need to be so uneasy.

"Director Qin, let's just think about it casually. It doesn't matter if you think it's inappropriate." Huang Yanling quickly echoed her words.

Qin Hai was speechless. Only then did he realize that there was really a deep gap between himself and the managers of Brother Ceramics Factory, so much so that the other party was so cautious even when they offered some business suggestions, for fear of making him feel uncomfortable. Happy. He thought for a while and said:

"Brother Liu, Sister Huang, maybe the communication between us is too insufficient. I'm also to blame for this. I should go to Linxi a few more times and talk to each other more, so that we won't be so unfamiliar. Actually, As for business management, you are the actual operators, and you can completely have the power to make discretionary decisions, and I will fully respect your opinions."

"Director Qin misunderstood..." Liu Shuo blushed a little, he faltered and said:

"Before Uncle Sha left, he told us that major decisions in the factory must be approved by you. The 13 of us all swore in front of Uncle Sha's hospital bed. If anyone violates it, no one will spare him. .

We have considered the matter of civil porcelain for a long time, but we are also hesitant. In fact, there are several civilian porcelain factories in Linxi. If we produce civilian porcelain, we may compete with them. We don’t know whether we can open up the market or not. All of us think that if Director Qin can help us develop several new products that no one else has, then we can do it. If there is no such new product, it is better for us to stick to the market of industrial porcelain. "

Qin Haidao: "I am very happy that you can actively think of ways to promote the operation of the factory. In the future, you can raise suggestions like this at any time. Whether it is OK or not, we can discuss together. As for civilian porcelain...my feeling is , it’s too early to do it now.”

"What do you mean early?" Huang Yanling asked strangely.

Qin Hai smiled and said: "I mean, the market for civil porcelain is actually very limited now. It is nothing more than some household tableware. Use ceramic tiles for decoration and buy all kinds of ceramic sanitary ware, then the market is worth investing in.”

"Every household buys a new house?" Liu Shuo shook his head without thinking, "I'm afraid it will take decades, and besides, even if the unit is allocated a house, who will buy tiles for home use?" ?”

Qin Hai smiled and said nothing. People in the mid-to-late 1980s certainly could not have foreseen the boom in house purchases in the mid-to-late 1990s and the new century. Due to the advent of the nationwide house-buying boom, there was a blowout in China’s civil ceramics at the beginning of the new century. general development. However, this market is indeed too early for the current Brother Ceramics Factory.

"Actually, the market for industrial porcelain is quite large. A small steel factory like ours purchases a lot of refractory materials every year." Qin Minghua interjected. He understood the conversation between his son and Liu Shuo. Although he had some ideas, it was not appropriate to say them at this time. He could only help his son beat the side drums.

"Yes, yes, in fact, our insistence on making industrial ceramics is very promising." Liu Shuo decisively rejected Huang Yanling's proposal. This was also discussed before they set off. They will never get entangled, everything is subject to Qin Hai's wishes.

"Yes, we are indeed a little impatient. In fact, this year we can earn at least 300,000 yuan in industrial porcelain. People really can't be too greedy." Huang Yanling said with an apologetic smile.

Liu Shuo also expressed his loyalty and said: "Director Qin, regarding alumina and zirconia, we can guarantee to supply as much as you want here. You can rest assured about this. For this purpose, we also specially purchased fine-grained alumina and zirconia. Ball mills cost a lot, but everyone says it’s worth it.”

"Zirconium oxide..." A thought suddenly flashed into Qin Hai's mind. This was actually something they had discussed just now, but combined with Huang Yanling's idea of ​​transforming into civilian porcelain, Qin Hai keenly grasped an idea. . He was stunned for a few minutes, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he asked Liu Shuo: "Brother Liu, how fine can the zirconia powder produced by our factory be as fine as how many nanometers?"

Liu Shuo saw that Qin Hai was silent for a long time, thinking that he was going to say something else, who knew he was still asking about zirconia. Although a little puzzled, Liu Shuo still replied politely: "We use the alkoxide hydrolysis method to produce zirconia powder, and the particle size can reach below 100 nanometers. We don't have a high-power electron microscope, so we can't measure it. .”

"100 nanometers is enough." Qin Hai nodded, and he asked with a smile: "You two, the idea of ​​making civil porcelain that you mentioned just now is quite good. Just now I suddenly thought of a civilian porcelain product. It must be technologically advanced enough, are you interested in trying it?"

Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling exchanged glances, wondering whether Qin Hai's words were true or false. Huang Yanling said: "We listen to Director Qin, if you think it can be done, we will do it."

Qin Hai said relaxedly: "The market for this product is very broad, but the current domestic market may not be able to absorb it, so we can only target the international market. The production process is not complicated, and the main thing is the nano-sized zirconia powder we just mentioned. We need to use a special gel, prepare the powder into cement, then stamp it with a punching machine, and then go through the sintering process to evaporate the gel..."

As he spoke, he wrote down the process requirements and the composition of the gel on a stack of papers he brought over. Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling worked in the management of ceramic factories for a year, and they have a little understanding of these technical problems, and they knew that this was something they could do. As for the special gel, Qin Hai also said that he would entrust a scientific research company called Haijie Technology Company to develop it as quickly as possible.

"You have to move quickly, and it's best to develop it within a month." Qin Hai finally told Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling.

"So urgent?" Liu Shuo was startled, "Is there any reason?"

Qin Hai smiled and said: "In a month, I will go to Brazil to participate in an international exhibition. If you can show the finished product, we can go to the exhibition to sell together. As long as you can meet the performance requirements I mentioned, many dare not Say, I promise our ceramics factory can make $10 million a year!"

"10 million US dollars!" Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling's eyes shone strangely. Their first reaction was whether they had heard it wrong, but Qin Hai's indifferent expression convinced them that this was not an illusion.

"We'll go back to Quwu tomorrow!" The two said in unison.
