Material Empire

Next, Qin Hai turned his head to Ning Mo and asked him about the raw materials for steelmaking.

Hearing this question, Ning Mo scratched his scalp, frowned and said, "Qin Hai, this matter is really difficult. Haitao and Miao Lei, I and I have traveled all over the factories in Pingyuan in the past few days. When I bought their scrap steel, I received a total of more than a dozen tons, and the steel types are not complete. We also figured out what steel types some scrap steel is, and now we can only pile it aside and wait for you to distinguish it.”

The so-called alloy steel is the steel that is mixed with chromium, manganese, tungsten, nickel and other elements. The addition of these elements can change the various properties of the steel to meet the specified performance requirements. The military shovel that Qin Hai wanted to produce had the functions of cutting barbed wire, chopping rocks, etc., so the steel had to reach extremely high hardness and certain toughness, which required the use of special alloy steel.

Alloy steel is smelted in a steel factory, using compounds of various elements as raw materials. These compounds are produced by other factories and then provided to the steel factory. Qin Hai did not have a channel to purchase these metal compounds, so he could only use the elements in the scrap alloy steel to smelt into new alloy steel through fine compatibility as before.

Prior to this, Qin Hai asked Ning Mo and the others to collect scrap steel at Qingfeng Factory, which meant that a furnace of molten steel could be smelted and a few products were cast. Now he has received an order for a total of 20,000 military shovels. It is indeed extremely difficult to collect so many scrap steel and ensure that the elements in the steel cover all the elements he needs.

"I can contact several steel factories in the province for you. The scrap steel they receive is often mixed with some alloy scrap steel. These alloy scrap steel are stored separately in the steel factory, and people hate it. If you want If you spend money to buy it, maybe they will thank you." Li Linguang interjected.

"That's right!" Qin Hai patted his thigh, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Different from Qin Hai's demand, regular steel mills are often reluctant to accept alloy scrap when using scrap for re-smelting, because when alloy scrap is mixed with ordinary scrap, it will cause difficulty in smelting and produce smelting waste. Calculating the composition of various alloy steel scrap bit by bit like Qin Hai's is not worth the gain for regular steel factories, so the value of alloy scrap steel in these steel factories is not as good as that of non-alloy steel.

The scrap steel recovered by the material recycling departments in various places is sold to the steel mills for re-smelting. However, the alloy scrap steel among them is often picked out by steel mills and processed separately. Many iron and steel factories do not have the technology to smelt alloy scrap steel, so as Li Linguang said, these alloy scrap steel are disgusting in steel factories.

Your poisonous grass, my fairy grass, this world seems so strange.

After thinking about this, Qin Hai calmed down, and asked Li Linguang: "Mr. Li, how do you contact these steel factories? Are you familiar with them?"

Li Linguang said: "It's simple. Every steel factory has graduates from our department. I'll write them a letter, and you can find someone to contact them. Buying alloy scrap steel is also a big deal for them. It's a good thing, and they'll be happy."

"Ms. Li, you can write the letter and leave it to me. I will be in charge of contacting these steel factories." Ning Mo said broadly.

"Fatty, it's hard work for you." Qin Hai said to Ning Mo.

Ning Mo smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's about running errands. I'm not technically good, so running errands is fine."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to Ning Mo." Qin Hai didn't say anything polite, and made a decision directly.

Further down, everyone discussed the issue of organizing production, and agreed that Li Linguang would be in charge of all technical affairs, Qiao Changsheng would be in charge of on-site management of the workshop and the organization of old workers, and Qin Minghua would be in charge of various administrative affairs, including logistics, personnel and so on. In view of the large scale of funds involved in the future, Qin Hai specially arranged for Yu Haitao to be the chief financial officer, responsible for managing all financial affairs.

"Is that what you mean by Chief Financial Officer?" Yu Haitao didn't understand the title of "Director" on his head, so he interpreted it based on his own imagination.

"You can also think of it as the chief of the financial section. However, the chief of the financial section is a middle-level cadre, and the chief financial officer is an executive, which is equivalent to the combination of the deputy factory director in charge of finance and the chief of the financial section." Qin Haiyong Explain in a language that everyone can understand.

"Aha, I'm now the deputy factory director in charge of finance." Yu Haitao smiled proudly, "Doesn't that mean I'm older than my dad's official?"

Yu Haitao's father is the deputy chief of the finance department of Qingfeng Factory. Yu Haitao has some family background and understands financial matters somewhat. Qin Hai's current team is too weak. If he can't find more professional staff, he can only let Yu Haitao take the lead for a while. Of course, what Yu Haitao has to do is to manage the general ledger of the finances. When it comes to the daily cashiering of funds, he must also hire experienced accountants to be responsible.

After assigning these tasks, Qin Hai said vigorously:

"Our enterprise is officially established now. For the time being, our account will use the name of Baihe Town Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory, but externally it can be called Pingyuan Iron and Steel Factory, which sounds more in line with our business.

In the factory, my dad is the director of the factory, so he is the chairman of the company; Ning Mo is in charge of purchasing and sales and is called the business director; Haitao is the financial director; Director of Administration, responsible for all internal affairs, do you think so? "

The last sentence, Qin Hai said to Miao Lei who had just finished settling Qin Shan and rushed over to attend the meeting.

"Okay, we will listen to you." Miao Lei replied indifferently.

"By the way, Qin Hai, we are all directors, so what kind of official are you?" Ning Mo asked.

Qin Hai thought for a while and smiled, "I'm confused. If I can confer titles to everyone here, it must be the CEO. Otherwise, who would have such great power?"

"What are you talking about, Xixiou?" Several friends stared at Qin Hai strangely.

"CEO!" Qin Hai said word by word, "This is a foreign name. When translated, it's called Chief Executive Officer."

Ning Mo slapped his thigh: "CEO... the name is good, it sounds domineering! From then on, we will be called Qin Haixi Yiou."

"You have to call me Director Miao from now on! Otherwise, I won't cook for you!" Miao Lei, who had just become the administrative director, warned everyone arrogantly.

Yu Haitao said with a smile: "The director who is in charge of serving meals for everyone, why don't you call him the manager? Wouldn't it be louder to call you the manager Miao?"

"The word general manager should not be used indiscriminately. In the Qing Dynasty, it was used to refer to eunuchs..." Li Linguang took the opportunity to make up for Miao Lei.

In this way, the first enlarged executive meeting of Xinpingyuan Iron and Steel Works ended amidst hilarious fights. The directors got up and went to the workshop to arrange various production matters. Qin Minghua rejected Qin Hai's suggestion to let him go to rest for a while, and insisted on going to the workshop with everyone, so that he could learn all kinds of knowledge in the factory while working, and adapt to the role of factory manager as soon as possible.

Qin Hai did not go with everyone. He believed that with Li Linguang's knowledge and Qin Minghua's sense of responsibility, he could handle all kinds of things in the workshop well. He returned to the place where he parked just now, started the jeep, and headed to the rows of dormitories in the administrative area.

"Brother, you are back."

Qin Shan, who was sweating profusely by the faucet, heard the sound of the car, raised her head and greeted Qin Hai with a smile.

Qin Hai stopped the car, walked to the faucet, looked at a lot of things, and asked in surprise: "Xiao Shan, you moved all these things out by yourself?"

"Yes." Qin Shan said proudly, wiping the sweat off her forehead with her arm.

It's no wonder that Qin Hai was surprised. He saw tables, chairs, bed frames, and bed boards piled up beside the faucet, and almost moved out all the furniture in the two dormitories. Qin Shan was rinsing the furniture with water, and then wiping off the dirt bit by bit with a rag.

"Brother, where did you find the furniture in the room? It's so dirty. There are snake skins under the bed." Qin Shan asked Qin Hai slightly complaining.

"Uh... this may be old furniture from the steel factory. I don't know which warehouse Ning Mo and the others found it from." Qin Hai was a little ashamed. If he had known this, he should have told Ning Mo and the others to buy it. Some new furniture came. In fact, these furniture are really not worth much. Why find some second-hand goods from 20 years ago for my father and sister.

"I've cleaned everything." Qin Shan pointed to the furniture and said, "The quality of the furniture is quite good, and it looks like new after washing. In such a big sun, I guess it will dry out in an afternoon." It’s dry, so it won’t interfere with sleeping at night.”

Qin Hai said apologetically, "I neglected this matter. I should have asked someone to clean the furniture first, so that you are so tired here alone."

"I'm not tired." Qin Shan said, "By the way, brother, there are still some things missing at home. I made a list just now. Some things may need to be bought, and others need to be borrowed. Really, here There is nothing, you didn't say it earlier, if you said it earlier, we would have brought it from home."

"What's missing?" Qin Hai asked.

While scrubbing the tables and chairs, Qin Shan said in detail: "My father and I live here, we must have things for cooking, including a stove, a frying pan, a cooking pot, a shovel, tongs... and we need to do laundry, There must be wooden basins, soap, washboards, clotheslines, and clothes hangers. By the way, there is another very important thing, I think your factory must have it, because you are an agricultural machinery factory."

"What?" Qin Hai asked strangely.

"Hoe." Qin Shan said proudly.
