Chapter 1415

"Where did the money come from?" Yang Rui is more curious about this issue than the subordinate focus of Southern Chemical.

87 In 2000, China's foreign exchange reserve was still 10 billion yuan, which was weaker than that of Thailand or Indonesia.

Although the money continues to enter the account, but the surplus is still very serious.

Important things, such as the import of grain and oil, can't be stopped in a day. In addition, the import of all kinds of industrial products, the inevitable enjoyment of goods, as well as the most consumed machinery and equipment and even raw materials, all need a lot of foreign exchange.

Even after 30 years, RMB still can't pass through the world, let alone now.

Lao Chen smiles and whispers: "Austria has provided a loan. As long as we buy their equipment, we can use the loan in full."

"In full? How much? "

"Let's see what kind of equipment we've bought. We haven't finalized the specific figures yet. I heard that there are quite a few." After a pause, old Chen said, "director Yang, can we speed up the finalization of our southern chemical project. More wolves than meat. "

No matter how many loans there are, the amount is limited. Especially in countries like Austria, although they can provide a lot of loans, compared with China's demand, it is far from satisfying.

In China, a lot of times, the one who takes a quick step will get the approval, and the one behind will only get ashes.

Yang Rui only took a few seconds to think and said, "since the equipment is bought with loans and the speed is fast, I don't think we need to develop new projects. Just go ahead with citric acid."

"Another citric acid production line?" Lao Chen is a little guilty.

Citric acid is widely used. As an organic acid, it can be used in food and medicine. People often eat jam, cakes or drinks, may contain citric acid. It's good for sour, antioxidant and pH regulator at the same time. In other words, it's a tasty organic preservative, much better than sodium nitrate.

Citric acid can also be used as a pharmaceutical product. Many pharmaceutical products, including anticoagulants, use citric acid, which is one of the most widely used materials.

In addition, citric acid used in chemical industry is even more important. In light and textile industry, petroleum industry or leather, plastics, photography, electronics, etc., citric acid is indispensable.

As for poultry feed, cosmetics and other products, the citric acid used is not a small amount.

Although it sounds so wonderful, no matter how good things are, if the supply exceeds the demand, they still need to lose money.

The production of citric acid in China was not high originally. A new 2000 ton production line of Southern Chemical Industry immediately became the key point of the Ministry, which was also related to this aspect.

Citric acid is so important that there must always be factories to produce it in large quantities.

However, if one more line is launched, the annual production capacity of Southern chemical industry will reach 4000 tons. With so much citric acid produced, it is easy to drive down the price.

On the other hand, the purchase of raw materials will become more difficult.

Citric acid is produced by fermentation, and the raw materials can be molasses, dried potato powder or sucrose. In 1987, the allocation of these materials needs the coordination of the government. It's not just taking money to go to the market, you can purchase tens of thousands of tons.

Yang Rui's worries about Lao Chen are half understood and half unknown. However, he did not come to solve the actual difficulties of the enterprise, but determined citric acid from the development direction.

The production capacity of domestic citric acid manufacturers of later generations is 500000 tons, of which 78% are exported to foreign countries and have been accused of dumping for several times.

In 1987, the total production of citric acid in China was only 40000 tons.

From 40000 tons to 500000 tons, as well as export profits, why not do such projects?

As for the difficulties encountered during this period, they are not what consultants like Yang Rui need to solve.

Nanbu chemical is also a powerful state-owned enterprise. Otherwise, it would not have been able to join the delegation. With such a background, it is far from a problem for Yang Rui to produce several thousand tons a year.

According to the recent habit, Yang Rui would not explain too much, just said: "from my point of view, it is most cost-effective for you to continue to go black with citric acid. Of course, if you have other ideas, we can also pull them out for discussion..."

"I'm afraid I can't buy the raw materials and sell the products." Lao Chen summed up his worries in one sentence, which is also his skill. With the time saved, Yang Rui can help them choose equipment more freely.Yang Rui pondered for a moment and said, "the production line was not built in a day. In terms of the current situation in China, I think it is relatively easy to solve the problem of raw materials after the expansion of the factory, and the output of domestic agricultural products is increasing rapidly. As for sales, it's better to export if we can't do it at home? "

"Export..." old Chen felt more guilty and said in a low voice: "our factory has no export qualification. To be honest, we have also participated in the Canton Fair, and the achievements are embarrassing."

"I can't help the export qualification, but I think it's ok if someone buys your products." When it comes to other industrial products, Yang Rui doesn't have much say. Citric acid, an industrial raw material, can't sell well.

Apart from other things, the price of agricultural products alone has a considerable advantage in China. As far as Yang Rui knows, the organic acid market of later generations is almost occupied by domestic low-cost products.

What Chinese people like low prices, foreigners like good quality, all nonsense, poor foreigners are all over the world, there are low prices do not buy, do you still have to buy expensive?

If high priced consumer goods and consumers pay IQ tax, it is not easy to impose IQ tax on industrial products.

Citric acid, a product of tens of millions of tons a year, is a large commodity of Tuotuo, and its marketization is very fierce.

Yang Rui pondered for a while, and then said: "foreign citric acid consuming enterprises, to tell you the truth, I have no way, and I don't know them, but I think your problem is very typical."

"Well?"

"The industrial products we produce can't be sold at home. They have to be exported all the time." Yang Rui's fingers circled in the air and said: "when we come out this time, a delegation is equivalent to hundreds of enterprises. If so many enterprises want to export, they can't find one by one. They should give full play to their group advantages."

"Yes, what do you say?" Lao Chen was inspired.

In my opinion, when we purchase again, on the one hand, we should promote our products; on the other hand, we can consider the issue of re sale. We will give priority to the production line of the company that can provide better sales channels to the enterprises where the delegation is located. "

This kind of requirement is not uncommon in international trade.

However, Lao Chen is not an old hand in international trade, and Yang Rui is no longer new.

Old Chen can't help but worry: "what if they just want to sell and don't want to buy?"

"That means their strength is weak. Just leave it alone."

Mr. Chen nodded hesitantly and said, "what you can buy and sell, I'm afraid you'll have to have a comprehensive business like that in Japan."

Japan's comprehensive business is often a large-scale, ultra wide range of business consortia. For the mode of buyers not only asking for money, Japan's comprehensive business agency is quite advantageous.

Yang Rui just shook his head and said, "Japanese companies want to join. However, there are more companies that can buy and sell. You don't have to think too much about them. The old European plutocrats also have history."

"But will they?"

"Why not? In this way, let's have a little more momentum."

"How?"

"We're in England. What's the most in London? The newspaper. " Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "as long as you go to the times or something, it should be easy to pass on the news. In a few days, the whole world will know."

Yang Rui said in the British newspaper that it was very relaxed. In fact, it was very relaxed
