We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

“Can a country be without a chemical industry?”

"Yes, but big countries can't."

"Can we build our chemical industry in foreign countries in the future?"

“It will take time, but we can do it.”

"Mr. Luo, I agree to join."

……

Luo Nianzhong brought two ministers to Lanzhou for inspection. That evening, all the departments and chemical companies and factories in Lanzhou, big and small, knew the news.

Originally, they were thinking about whether they could find an opportunity to promote themselves, but what no one expected was that the other party would only inspect one company, Blue Star.

As the person involved, Ren Jianxin received the notice in the evening.

Those coming to Blue Star this time are all important people, so we must notify them and make good preparations.

In the Blue Star office building, Ren Jianxin, standing in front of his office window, looked at the workers outside working overtime to clean and arrange the building. He didn't know whether the future would be a joy or a sorrow.

He knew very well that no matter what kind of requirements the other party put forward, as long as the investment was implemented, it would not be considered a requirement.

Decision-making power, management rights, land, labor, relocation of headquarters, including the current workers, business, and even the removal of him as manager.

Everything was not something he could decide. It could be said that the career he had worked so hard to build was just a piece of meat on a sticky board in the eyes of others, ready to be slaughtered at will.

Similarly, like Governor Song or everyone else, he didn't understand why the super tycoon saw in Blue Star and why he flew over to inspect the company he founded.

On the one hand, he hopes that this investment can be realized, so that Blue Star will not be as simple as just adding a pair of wings, but will be like a rocket soaring into the sky.

The Far East can attract all kinds of relevant professional talents from all over the world, which is unimaginable for Blue Star.

In Rabbit, Blue Star does not accept top international talents, even domestic college students are not accepted.

Once the software problem is solved, the hardware problem will be even less of a problem. These things can be easily solved as long as you have money. Does the Luo family lack this thing?

On the other hand, Ren Jianxin was conflicted. How could such a large investment be managed by someone like him who had never proven himself in a large enterprise or factory?

If I can’t graffiti myself, can I still realize my dream of becoming a chemical engineer?

"Dong dong".

"Come in".

A knock on the door interrupted Ren Jianxin. When he saw Vice President Wang Yang pushing the door open, he knew that the other party wanted to ask him about something he was unsure about.

"Mr. Ren, we have already put up the sanitation and welcome banners, but what are we going to show them?"

The only product of Blue Star now is cleaning agent, which is not difficult to produce. However, it is impossible to show a large workshop with high horsepower to others like other big manufacturers do. How can you show others how to wash kettles?

"A research laboratory, just one research laboratory is enough."

Ren Jianxin was very far-sighted. After Bluestar became famous overnight, he set up his own laboratory to develop descaling and cleaning agents for various industrial equipment.

"Ah?" Wang Yang was stunned. Their laboratory was very small and there were only dozens of scientific researchers. Would they show these to people when they came?

“They are here to inspect, not to learn or visit.

For Mr. Luo, he has seen all kinds of situations, and we just need to show our advantages."

Everyone in the world knows that Luo Nianzhong and the Far East Group attach great importance to scientific and technological research and development and talents. No matter how much else you look at, it is not as important as catering to their preferences.

Ren Jianxin is very clear about Bluestar's advantages. Although it does not have many scientific researchers, it is definitely very forward-looking among the large companies in the Rabbit industry.

Compared with other large companies that are just doing things to get by, Bluestar cannot be said to be unique, but it is definitely doing what it should do.

So he only needs to show the best and most advantageous side of Blue Star, nothing else matters.

Ren Jianxin doesn't know that it doesn't matter if it doesn't show anything and just plays badly, because people come for him.

But he did make the right bet. Compared to production management, the only thing Luo Nianzhong is interested in on Blue Star right now is their laboratory.

The leaders were originally quite angry when they saw Lan Xing bringing the inspection team to a rather small laboratory, but when they saw Luo Nianzhong asking questions with great interest, they all smiled.

Luo Nianzhong didn't understand these professional chemical terms very well, so he simply asked about their R&D ideas and information about the products they wanted to develop, and then left. The whole process took no more than thirty minutes.

It was really short. From the time I entered the factory gate to the time I sat in Ren Jianxin’s office, it took no more than an hour.

So in the office, watching Luo Nianzhong thinking in silence, the others didn't know what he meant and were waiting anxiously.

After a cup of tea, Luo Nianzhong looked at Ren Jianxin and asked, "If Bluestar enters the chemical industry, which industry chain will you choose first?"

"Fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer industry chain or rubber industry chain".

"why?"

"Because Blue Star must survive first."

Yes, the idea is clear and not blindly arrogant.

There are three major categories of chemical industry: petrochemical industry, basic chemical industry, and chemical fiber. Among them, basic chemical industry is definitely the most widely used.

Among these three categories, there are many industrial chains. Generally, chemical companies produce their own products according to the industrial chain. It is impossible to have one item from that industrial chain and another from this industrial chain.

These industrial chains include 14 types: petrochemical refining industry chain, petrochemical carbon industry chain, petrochemical carbon industry chain, petrochemical carbon industry chain, petrochemical carbon industry chain, petrochemical aromatics industry chain, chlor-alkali industry chain, soda ash industry chain, fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer industry chain, polyester industry chain, rubber industry chain, polyolefin industry chain, photovoltaic industry chain and silicone industry chain.

Among them, the fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer industry chain and rubber industry chain chosen by Ren Jianxin are undoubtedly the two categories with relatively low technical content and huge market scale.

Products like urea, fertilizers for agricultural products, compound fertilizers, artificial boards, and melamine all belong to the chemical fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer industry chain.

The essence of melamine can be used to obtain melamine formaldehyde resin, which can be used in the manufacture of board processing, plastic film and wood adhesive.

The rubber industry chain has even wider applications, including semi-steel tires, full-steel tires, bias tires, and conveyor belts. Not to mention the huge market in the tire field, just how much conveyor belts are consumed every year.

Electricity, coal mining, infrastructure, cement, etc., which industry doesn't need it?

Among the three major chemical industries, polar bears have a natural advantage in petrochemicals. They may decline in the future, but that is not because of technical reasons, but because no one is willing to pay for research and is only willing to sell raw materials.

Now, although it is not that strong, the technology is also world-class.

Needless to say, there is no need to worry about rabbits in the field of basic chemical raw materials. Just follow the steps.

As for the fine chemicals for deep purification, Luo Nianzhong can also place them in South Korea.

Rabbit is a big chemical country but not a strong chemical country. Why is there this saying?

This is because since the late 70s, chemical companies in European and American island countries have been developing into the field of fine chemicals.

By the time the rabbits wanted to conduct research, there was already a time gap of 20 to 30 years between them, and these big companies began to impose technological blockades again.

Not to mention this era, even in thirty years, many fine chemical fields will be controlled by others.

But the Luo family has South Korea, and SK Group has been investing heavily in the research and development of fine chemicals since 85, so the gap between it and European and American island countries is not that obvious.

Another point is that SK can use the money to acquire small companies with technological achievements, which is something the polar bear and the rabbit cannot do because they simply won't sell.

"If you are given a huge amount of money, can you build a chemical giant? Or do you think you have the ability to take on this task?"

"How big is the investment? Am I solely responsible for it?"

"Yes, you are fully responsible." Luo Nianzhong thought for a moment and said, "As for the scale of investment, it should be at least 20 to 30 billion US dollars."

When he heard about two or three billion US dollars, Ren Jianxin's blood instantly boiled. He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "I can't guarantee it, but I will do my best."

What does this mean? It sounds like they are going to invest 200 to 300 million yuan in Blue Star?

Investing is a good thing, but is it still worth discussing whether to let Ren Jianxin be the leader?

The rabbit must invest in land, as the position of leader is a big piece of fat meat.

"Mr. Luo, you should reconsider handing over such a large investment to him. After all, he has no experience in managing a large factory and does not understand many things."

"Can I learn if I don't understand? Who knows how to run when they are born?" Luo Nianzhong glanced at the other party and said half-jokingly, "Why, Minister Zhao has doubts about my use of people?"

"No, don't get me wrong, Mr. Luo. Minister Zhao also knows a lot of relevant talents. If you need them, he can introduce them to you."

Are you kidding? This matter has a chance now. It is impossible for Vice Minister Jiang to let the other party have a grudge because of one candidate.

Even though he is the deputy, when it comes to real power and status, Minister Zhao is really not up to par.

"Just kidding. As for Minister Zhao's talents, let's leave them to the Ministry of Chemical Industry."

After easing the atmosphere, Luo Nianzhong looked at Ren Jianxin seriously.

"Are you interested in working in the Far East Department? I won't hide it from you. I came here to investigate because I saw your talent. If you can come to work in the Far East Department, you will have the final say in its future development in the chemical industry."

This sentence surprised everyone. Although it could be seen from the previous words that Luo Nianzhong valued Ren Jianxin, no one expected that he would directly make him the top leader.

Compared with the current Bluestar, although the Far East Group has not made any achievements in the field of chemical industry, as long as it develops in this field, it will definitely be unmatched by Bluestar.

Who can blame them for being rich? At least in the primary field of raw materials, they can easily build it up.

"Why me? I want to know how Mr. Luo knows me."

Without being overwhelmed by the sudden surprise, Ren Jianxin asked about the confusion in his heart.

He suddenly showed up with a very clear target, looking for him and Lan Xing.

He admitted that Bluestar was a well-known company in the industry, but said that this company should not be noticed in the chemical industry.

"Far East has been building a global talent pool since ten years ago, including management talents, scientific research talents, and gifted children. As long as they are useful to Far East and can be used by Far East in the future, all the talents are included here.

You are one of them. It is no exaggeration to say that I know all about the development of Blue Star.

The purpose of this talent database is to help Far East Energy find suitable talents continuously, so I found you.

You have no experience in managing a large enterprise, but I see more possibilities in you, and I believe you can steer this giant ship well."

This was not a lie to him. The Far East did have a talent pool, but in Rabbit's eyes it was limited to the southeast coast and first-class universities.

When these people's abilities meet Far East's requirements and there are vacancies, they can be poached. If they choose to start their own business, Far East can also provide them with an investment depending on the situation.

"What does Mr. Luo think of the chemical industry? I mean those negative comments."

“History always moves forward on sharp edges, and development must come at a price.

If there were no grey skies and coal rain in England, do you think they would still be able to live so well?

Chemical industry has been demonized so much that the first thing people think of when the word is mentioned is pollution.

Therefore, we should restrict this industry on a large scale and minimize the damage."

"The last question, Mr. Luo, do you think a country can do without the chemical industry? Can it..."

In the end, Luo Nianxin accepted the general with great satisfaction. It can be said that everyone got the result they wanted.

Sole proprietorship? That's impossible. It's not that Tuzi doesn't allow it, but Luo Nianzhong doesn't want it.

How profitable is the chemical industry? In the original time and space, in 08, the world's richest man was Buffett, with a net worth of more than 800 billion US dollars.

Wang, the richest man in Taiwan, has a fortune of 530 billion US dollars, but no one knows that the Wang family's wealth exceeds billion US dollars.

If the children of his deceased family had not been fighting over the inheritance, who would have known that the Wang family had so much money, all earned from the chemical industry.

In 2020, the global chemical industry has an output value of 33000 trillion US dollars, of which rabbits account for one-third of the market, and this figure is still rising.

How could the state not intervene in such a huge market?

The Haicang Plan was doomed to fail, but looking back, failure was more powerful than success.

Because judging from Rabbit's current chemical industry, the market absolutely cannot withstand the impact of advanced large-scale chemical plants with lower costs.

Therefore, Luo Nianzhong's large chemical project can be said to be standing in the eye of the storm, and can rotate and jump into the sky in various ways.

Rather than having various national team competitions at that time, it is better to set the tone and do a favor from the beginning.

I give you money, give you concessions and help you make money. When you become rich in the future, do you have the nerve to leave me and make things difficult for me?

Luo Nianzhong's top priorities only require two things: obtaining domestic sales license and finding a few valuable factories to merge with.

For example, the Xinghuo Chemical Plant in western Jiangxi has the largest 10,000-ton silicone plant in the country.

However, they are unable to produce now because key technical bottlenecks have not been overcome to reach full production.

You should know that each test run of this device costs five million. Now it has lost tens of millions after more than a dozen test runs, and no one knows when it will end.

Xinghuo Chemical Plant's debt is now over 100%, but no one dares to let it go bankrupt.

Not to mention the nearly 10,000 employees and their families, the localization of silicone is a national strategy.

After the merger with Xinghuo Chemical Plant, the silicone industry chain among the 14 industrial chains has gained a firm foothold, and all that remains is to deepen research.

In the evening, Luo Nianzhong invited everyone to dinner at the famous Yuebinlou restaurant.

At the dinner, the two sides finalized the basic cooperation framework.

Far East provided the capital, Rabbit provided the land and some state-owned factories, and the shareholding ratio of both parties was 50:50.

After the new group, China National Chemical Corporation, was established, Ren Jianxin served as the first general manager, and both parties sent four directors each to form the board of directors.

The new group’s headquarters certainly cannot be in Lanzhou. The capital will be the location of the new group’s headquarters.

Blue Star is not sad without Governor Song, because Luo Nianzhong promised him that he would let the Far East Group investigate this place. Lanzhou now has investment value.

However, both the establishment of a new group and investment investigation are not a matter of one or two days, and there will be follow-up negotiations on this matter.

Luo Nianzhong estimated that it would be fast if the two sides could agree on all the details in early 1991.

But one thing is certain, the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for the Far East System, because if Haicang is gone, this large chemical project here must be preserved.
