Chapter 139 The Terrible Capital
Brick Kiln Office Area.
Yu Yang personally received the leaders of Puyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory.
The other party knew that he was very busy here, so he said a few polite words and went straight to the topic.
"Dr. Yu, what do you think of this trolley?"
Yu Yang glanced at the sample carefully prepared by the other party, "To be honest, it's not that good. The first time I saw it, I thought of the window ribs welded with iron plates in the big tile-roofed classroom in the junior high school."
In 1999, Dongfang was still at a backward stage in the manufacturing field.
Like aluminum alloy.
This cheap metal, which was very common in another time and space, is extremely rare now.
Because the raw material for manufacturing it, alumina, needs to be imported on a large scale, and domestic electrolytic aluminum was in a state of serious loss in the entire industry before 2005.
To put it bluntly, the industrial base cannot keep up.
This includes stainless steel as well.
This leads to the fact that most of the existing doors, windows, guardrails, metal components, etc. on the market are made of pig iron or wrought iron.
Stainless steel basins, stainless steel chopsticks, and aluminum alloy photo frames are now almost invisible.
It is also difficult to mass-produce ultra-light sheets for manufacturing cars, light bicycles, and aircraft casings.
Even the bridge-breaking aluminum technology introduced around 1985 has still not been widely popularized today in 1999.
Therefore, the pushcart of Puyang Machinery Factory, considering the cost and load-bearing issues, uses iron pipe + iron plate, and the joints of many components are welded.
The final result is that the imitation trolley weighs about 8 kilograms. In terms of appearance and texture, it is far inferior to our own. We use steel rails as raw materials, use the blacksmith shop to produce ultra-light sheets, and then use processing equipment to make pipes and then install them. Metal prefabricated parts, assembled trolley.
And the two products are put together.
One looks exactly like Tiehanhan, and has no texture to the touch.
A very high-tech one, it feels like holding a door handle with a plate of pulp. Although it is slippery, it will not let go. Although it is cold, it is not bone-piercing. Although it is hard, it has a certain toughness...
You said old man or old lady, which one do you like?
"Director Yu, the purchase price is only 15 yuan."
"Too high."
Yu Yang shook his head, "According to my family's rules, if you buy vegetables and fruits for 100 yuan, you will get a cart for free. How much profit do you think you can get from vegetables for 100 yuan? Let's assume 20%, which means making 20 yuan. , your cart takes up 15 yuan, am I selling vegetables or cars? "
"Orders from North America?"
"People have requests."
Yu Yang asked the clerk to send the ADM purchase contract.
The content inside does not only have requirements for materials, but also lists numerical ranges such as yield strength and tensile strength.
Although Puyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory, including other speculative manufacturers, knew that the carts were gifts, they did not consider the profit from selling vegetables when it came to unlimited repurchase for 30 yuan.
I just want to make it quickly and sell it to Sanyuan Agriculture.
Now after listening to Yu Yang's analysis and looking at the purchase contract, I suddenly understood that these two or three consecutive days of overtime work were in vain.
"Dr. Yu, it can be cheaper, 12 yuan."
"Sorry, I don't even want 5 yuan."
Although Yu Yang doesn't like Tie Hanhan, the trolley is not that demanding at all as a gift for buying groceries.
Whether it’s your own or someone else’s, you can give it as a gift.
And old men and women, do you want love or not?
What's more, you can also issue new rules, such as buying a 50-yuan dish and getting Tie Hanhan as a gift, buying a 100-yuan dish and getting a rail material as a gift.
It's just that the supply price of Puyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory is indeed a bit high.
But it is unrealistic for the other party to keep the cost there and reduce it to one or two yuan...
After Yu Yang thought for a while, he said: "To be honest with you, my family has a very close cooperation with Shantui..."
Previously, Sanyuan Agriculture entrusted Shantui of Jishui City to help optimize and improve its large-scale farming equipment independently developed and designed.
It seems simple.
However, the shells, pipes, and accessories of large-scale farming equipment all need to be manufactured separately.
In this process, when pressing the car shell, a set of "high-precision molds" that meet the specifications of the car shell must be equipped. When making pipes, a set of "high-precision molds" that meet the pipe specifications must also be equipped...
When the plastic factory produced crisper boxes, it cost 60,000 yuan to customize a set of molds.
Manufacturing an unprecedented large-scale farming equipment is no different from building a new car. How many high-precision molds are needed and how much capital is required?
So, Shantui can’t handle it at all, and won’t help it.
Fortunately, although the production capacity of my own blacksmith shop is not high and it cannot produce complex mechanical devices, it is extremely good at things that are not very complex in structure but require high precision.
Therefore, Shantui received a complete set of "high-precision molds" for large-scale farming equipment from Sanyuan Agriculture for free.
At this time, its specific value is difficult to estimate.
Therefore, whatever power devices you need, such as rail engineering vehicles, wheeled engineering vehicles, and rail gantry cranes, Shantui will provide them with unconditional priority and free of charge.
It even handed over 20% of its shares to Jishui Sanyuan Construction Group.
It is said that Shantui decided to change his name to Santui after hearing that Master Yu was related to Santui recently...
The director of Puyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory understands.
"Don't worry, Director Yu, as long as the mold is in place, we will move it here tomorrow and change its name to 'Sanyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory'."
"???"
Yu Yang's original intention was to get a set of molds in exchange for a steady stream of iron trolleys, just like the cooperation with Shantui and reaching a strategic partnership. He never expected that the other party would be so decisive and move the factory on the spot.
"Leader, isn't this bad?"
“We have been longing for the Shiliying Subdistrict Office for a long time!”
"..."
…
It's night.
The Puyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory, which had more than a thousand employees, was empty. Even the insulating rings on the telephone poles were taken away.
It is a pity that the city compound in Puyang, including the provincial compound in Nanhe, has not discovered this matter yet.
And early the next morning.
The Bac Ha Provincial Government issued a notice offering a reward of 500,000 to arrest a gang of rampant thieves who poached more than 2,000 rare green plants from the botanical garden.
Dongshantai City Compound responded positively and offered an additional reward of 1 million.
Deputy General Manager Lao Dong even held a press conference, expressing his intention to reinforce Beihe in order to stabilize the surrounding security situation and create a good tourism environment.
at the same time.
The University of California Research Laboratory published eleven SCI articles in a row, using various data and real-life cases to prove the ‘harmfulness of volatile paints to the human body’.
Including the impact of odor on the sense of smell, at least 350 million people worldwide suffer from rhinitis every year, and 35 million people suffer from sinus cancer.
As well as the impact of dust on lung function, this causes at least 730 million people around the world to suffer from irritating cough symptoms every year, and 15 million people die from lung diseases, especially lung cancer.
The chemical components in volatile paints corrode the skin, causing 1.1 billion people to suffer from different eye diseases, nervous system dysfunction, blood system diseases, etc., including leukemia.
Most importantly, scientists discovered formaldehyde in volatile paints. This is a colorless, odorless, highly carcinogenic gas...
For a time, the scientific and health circles were all shocked.
Soon, the MIT Science Research Laboratory confirmed this.
And listed the hazards of current inks, paints, and watercolors, as well as the irreversible negative effects on children.
April 27th.
In the face of overwhelming public opinion and joint proposals from the House of Representatives and the Senate, North American General Manager Colin had to sign a general control order requiring relevant companies to produce products that are in line with public health.
Unfortunately, there are no aldehyde-free, non-sticky, non-volatile, non-sticky, harmless paints and harmless inks in the field of inorganic chemistry...
As a result, that afternoon, the stocks of paint companies, ink companies, and watercolor companies that continued to grow, including the shares of Daniel Smith Jr., all plummeted by 30%.
On the morning of the 28th, the London Stock Exchange in England was affected, and the Berlin Stock Exchange in Germany was also deeply affected, and then the Faguo Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange were infected...
On the 29th, supermarkets and supermarkets in libraries in North America, England and other countries removed painting tools, painting products, spray painting tools, etc. from their shelves, and removed most of the outdoor advertisements in children's playgrounds.
On this day, the world's printing industry entered the Ice Age.
On the 30th, the world's electronics industry recovers. IBM launches large-scale LED outdoor screens, Dell launches e-books, HP launches electronic drawing tablets...
For a time, it seemed that electronic products were about to replace traditional printing, painting and other industries.
…
Ten Mile Camp.
A week has passed, and the deserted and vast streets have become covered with green plants.
And rare varieties are cultivated in many places.
It includes not only metasequoia, silver fir, Rudraksha, golden camellia, but also several branches of the mother tree Dahongpao that Lao Dong led people from Wuyi Mountain to break through the guard blockade.
In order to ensure the continuation of these life forms, Master Yu generously took out some improved farmland and experimental fields to cultivate the seedlings of these green plants.
I believe it won’t take too long for the yellow streets of Shiliying to turn green.
May 1st, Labor Day.
The Sanyuan factory area has a collective holiday, either in a plastic greenhouse-style movie theater to watch the tunnel battles of the Shili Camp during the most difficult period, or in a plastic greenhouse-style home where the wife and children are having fun, or in a plastic greenhouse-style online club to enjoy the virtual world... …
Yu Yang escorted 20 million trolleys, as well as the first batch of inks and pigments produced at the shipyard and that the chemical plant must deliver before May. He took the factory train and set off from Shiliying, relying on the 'outgoing voucher' issued by his superiors. , borrowing the state-owned railway line, it took two days to arrive at Dongshan Yancheng.
After the train is unloaded, all containers, ink cans, and paint cans will be sent to Incheon, Nambangzi, through the foreign trade company affiliated to the Oriental Foreign Trade Bureau.
Once there, the ADM company took over, and the carts were taken by boat, while the ink and paint were taken by military transport aircraft, and the troops flew to North America in two ways.
Yu Yang waited for two days before getting the news that ADM had received the goods.
Immediately afterwards, we also received the second batch of orders from Daniel Smith Company.
2.1 million tons of ink and 150,000 tons of pigments.
The amount is one-third higher than the previously negotiated amount.
This is definitely a good thing for my family.
But after this period of raw material procurement, Yu Yang saw another side.
For example, the traditional red madder is extracted, and the oriental characteristic red safflower is extracted.
These two plants were very common in ancient times, because the textiles at that time were all dyed with madder or rendered with red flowers.
In modern times, the rapid development of industry has caused inorganic chemistry to replace plant-based raw materials. As a result, madder and safflower have only medicinal value, and the related output is no longer as huge as in ancient times.
Now Sanyuan Chemical has restarted the production of plant-based inks and pigments. Considering the production volume, it is necessary to find some areas to plant madder and safflower on a large scale.
At this time, Dongfang has two options. One is to reduce the amount of crops planted and expand the planting area of madder and safflower.
The second is to find a remote area and hand over the project to local poor farmers, supplying plant-based raw materials while getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.
But no matter which one you choose, Dongfang will fall into the trap of ADM.
Because you choose the first one, your food production will decrease and you will be more dependent on me in the future.
If you choose the second one, my next batch of orders will determine whether your "eliminate poverty and become rich" farmer will continue to be rich or return to the previous state of poverty.
A madder is like this, a safflower is like this, and other colors of hematoxylin, gardenia, sophora japonica, orchid, turmeric, perilla, lithospermum, dioscorea, gallnut, etc. are all the same.
The raw materials of 3 billion U.S. dollars, converted into blue giant banknotes, are equal to 24.75 billion.
If this money is poured into the Eastern Market, how many farmers will participate?
If orders are reduced, how big of a negative impact will there be?
Yu Yang finally understood why the soybean oil, drinks, snacks, etc. in another time and space were completely wiped out.
Because you have no other choice, you have to choose one of the two.
Yu Yang took the second batch of orders and took a flight to Yaoqiang Airport.
After getting off the plane, he saw two large transport aircraft, Y8, spray-painted with Sanyuan Agriculture parked in the distance.
That was a gift from the tiger in the Kungbu compound to my family.
It's a pity that I don't have an airport at home, so I can only leave it here.
"There are internal and external troubles!"
Yu Yang got into the ADM and returned to Shili Camp, but something about the ancient dynasty came to mind.
The East has a long history, and there must have been things similar to our own situation in ancient times.
We can definitely copy homework.
However, after thinking about it, Yu Yang only thought of Water Margin.
…
Brick kiln office area.
The newly formed development and reform team from the Shiliying Street Office heard that Yu Yang had returned and quickly came to visit.
"Dad, the pasture is placed on the embankment between Xiaoqing River and the Yellow River. It runs east-west, or along the embankment. We plant grass, one side is used to stabilize the embankment, and the other side is used for raising animals."
"Can pasture be used to stabilize the embankment?"
"Okay, isn't that what the Hetao Plain is like?"
"I don't read much, so I listen to the above."
"Okay, another thing is that although Sanyuan Chemical produces plant-based products, it is still polluting to a certain extent. In order to protect the water quality of Pingdong Lake, Yellow River, Xiaoqing River, and Grand Canal, your superiors asked you, what if you put the chemical plant in the foggy city? Sample?"
"Fog City? C Qing next to Bashu?"
"Yes, you can grow the raw materials needed for plant-based products without restrictions there."
"This is too far away from Shili Camp. Is it possible that the higher-ups also agree with me to build the tracks in the factory there?"
"I-I haven't heard of this."
"Go and ask, what if you agree?"
"..."
