"By the way, how is the patent application going?" Xu Pingan asked.
This kind of product must be patented. Unlike rocket launch technology, you can't imitate it without applying for a patent. If there is no patent for a major circulation product, counterfeiters will surely spread all over the world.
"The application has already been applied. So far, only part of it has been approved, and some have not been approved." Chen Fansheng reported truthfully.
"I'll talk to Wu Sikai about this, and we must speed up the progress." Xu Ping'an made a decision immediately.
The three exchanged for a while, and Xu Pingan left the comprehensive research institute and called Wu Sikai directly in the car, allowing Wu Sikai to speed up the patent approval at any cost.
I hung up and called Bruce from Germany. The same content speeds up the progress of global patent applications. Don't be afraid to spend money. Getting a patent is the most important thing.
Both of them stated that they would handle this matter as soon as possible, and Xu Ping'an was relieved.
When I returned home, I took out the list of raw materials written by Miao Yong and looked at it. There are six types of raw materials marked on it. Xu Ping'an understands what Miao Yong means. These six raw materials are more critical.
I thought about it for a while, "Dalina, you go to investigate and see what companies produce these six materials, and give me a list."
"Okay" Darina took the paper in Xu Ping's hand and went to work.
The next day, Darina sent a document to Xu Pingan, which listed the manufacturers of these six materials in detail, and Xu Pingan began to browse in the office.
After a while, I picked up the phone and started dialing. After a short time, the phone went through, "Mr Xu, you are looking for me" Ji Xueyi's voice appeared.
"Xueyi, please record and investigate these companies. If appropriate, you will directly acquire them. If there are large-scale debts and aging production equipment, you will abandon the acquisition," Xu Pingan said directly.
"Okay, let me find a pen and paper"
"Come on, Mr. Xu, let me record it" Ji Xueyi said directly.
"Bokai Chemical Group, Kesley Chemical Co., Ltd., Jinggong Chemical Manufacturing Co., Ltd......." Xu Ping'an announced the names of eight companies in one go.
"On these eight, hurry up and handle it urgently," Xu Ping'an said directly.
Hearing Xu Ping'an said that it should be handled urgently, Ji Xueyi understood what was going on, "I will handle it immediately, and there will be news within ten days at most."
"Okay, I'll wait for your investigation report" Xu Ping'an said directly, and the two of them hung up after a few polite words.
Ji Xueyi hung up the phone and immediately issued an order to the investigation department. Only eight days were given. The application must be expedited and the content must be detailed.
A few days later, Zhang Jianbin actually flew directly to J City to meet Xu Ping An. This surprised Xu Ping An. He and Zhang Jianbin were chatting with Zhang Jianbin while drinking tea in the office.
"I said, your sense of smell is too sensitive. You just started investigating the chemical industry. On your side, let me buy chemical companies in your jurisdiction."
"I'm telling the truth, I really didn't think about it"
"Moreover, my order to Ji Xueyi is that those with a lot of debt are not thin, and those with aging production equipment should not be purchased," Xu Ping'an said straightforwardly.
As soon as Ji Xueyi's investigation team moved, it was immediately grasped by interested people. After all, the early stage of Tianqi Group's acquisition was definitely for Ji Xueyi's investment company to conduct research on some industries.
Now that it is investigating the chemical industry on a large scale, does Tianqi Group have the intention to acquire the chemical industry? After all, Super Paint has connections with many chemical companies.
Zhang Jianbin naturally also got the news. After some analysis, he concluded that Xu Pingan really wants to acquire some chemical companies. It happens that there are many problems in the chemical industry.
Either the pollution is serious or the business is not good. These companies are all Zhang Jianbin's heart disease. Each company has a lot of workers. If it can be acquired by Tianqi Group, the city can be regarded as a major problem.
Therefore, Zhang Jianbin came here, instead of flying directly to City J, he got off the plane in the provincial capital, and then drove directly to Xu Pingan by car.
I'm afraid that Wei Dongshuo and Chen Qingshan will respond and cut off. After all, two of the three major chemical plants in J City have gone bankrupt, and the remaining one was also invited to move to the county due to pollution.
There are many chemical companies in Province Y, most of them are small chemical companies with poor technology, low production capacity and severe pollution. This is because the provincial government has severely shut down a number of companies with serious pollution.
If province Y is allowed to react, it will definitely put pressure on Xu Pingan, and make Xu Pingan give priority to the acquisition of chemical companies in the province. After all, many enterprises are under the provincial national name.
Let Tianqi Group buy it directly, and it can also reduce a big burden.
Zhang Jianbin came here this time and only acted after discussing with Qiao Liangqing. Zhang Jianbin was responsible for Xu Pingan's work, and Qiao Liangqing was responsible for communicating with the superiors.
"Ping An, the chemical companies I asked you to acquire are all provincial-level state-owned enterprises. You do not need to be responsible for foreign debts, as long as you solve the problem of workers' employment," Zhang Jianbin said with a big wave of his hand.
Xu Ping'an smiled and did not answer the conversation. The things in it will definitely not be easy, and it will definitely not be that simple.
"Brother Zhang, since you have the intention to let me take over, then you have to give me a solid foundation. The practice of cheating friends is undesirable" Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
"The equipment of these companies is a bit backward, and they are not producing fine chemical products. Therefore, you need to train your employees to work."
"I will not hide it from you, the five companies have a lot of employees..." Zhang Jianbin explained the status of the five chemical companies.
After listening to the situation, Xu Ping shook his head with a smile, and directly refused, "Brother Zhang, it's too much trouble. It's better for me to build a new one. You should keep it for yourself."
"Just say what you need" Zhang Jianbin is very clear about Xu Ping's temperament.
Xu Pingan smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, seriously, these five companies are not valuable. First, the equipment is not valuable, especially this kind of old equipment. The manufacturer can't find it. What is the use of this equipment? It's completely a bottomless pit"
"Secondly, I analyzed that there are a lot of foreign debts. Even if you say you won't let me be held accountable, I'm sure you can't give me any preferential policies."
"Third, the problem of employees. I analyzed that at least half of the employees are unavailable to me. They are close to retirees. The rest are either sick, and few young and strong."
"I don't open a free nursing home. What can I take over what these employees can do? If something happens at work, it is a work injury and that is to lose money."
"With so many people, how much do I need to compensate, who will compensate me for the production losses of the delayed enterprise"
"Therefore, in order not to hurt the harmony between you and me, let's not talk about it. It's good for us." Xu Ping'an did not make a request, but simply refused.
The demo, I know you would say that, you people, that's the same thing over and over again, Zhang Jianbin said inwardly.
"I knew you would say that" Zhang Jianbin said when he looked at Xu Ping'an.
Xu Ping'an was stunned instead, and said to his heart, you know that I still came to see me when I said so, am I so bullied?
"First, most of the external debts of these five companies are from the government. How to deal with it is our internal problem. If you don't need you to be responsible, we won't let you be responsible."
"Second, the equipment is indeed outdated, but not to the extent that you said, all manufacturers have disappeared. This is a shadowless thing, at most it is the old equipment 20 years ago."
"Of course, there are also some new equipment in recent years"
"Thirdly, we have taken into consideration the personnel issues. Those who are about to retire will directly apply for early retirement. Those who are sick and cannot work normally will be retired. These people are a minority."
"The rest are people who are in good health and will not delay your production and employment. Moreover, these companies recruit new people every year, and they are all top students with a bachelor degree."
"These people accept new things quickly and can quickly master advanced equipment. They are an intangible asset and are completely cheap for you."
"As for the preferential policies?" Zhang Jianbin said, looking at Xu Ping'an very unhappy.
"Do you think I dare to give you preferential policies equivalent to technology companies" Zhang Jianbin said unceremoniously.
Xu Ping An was really stunned, he could already feel Zhang Jianbin's determination, frowned directly, and began to think in his mind.
The purchase of the chemical plant is for the super oil, and the production of the super oil must be carried out in the Super Paint Company in J City. The two places are not close, and the freight in the middle is a big problem.
Zhang Jianbin didn't urge Xu Ping An, he picked up the tea cup and started to taste tea slowly. Xu Ping'an was very shrewd, forcing him to be useless, he had to tell the truth.
After a long while, Xu Ping'an looked at Zhang Jianbin and shook his head slowly, saying that he could not go to Hangzhou to buy those companies.
Zhang Jianbin directly understood the meaning in Xu Ping'an's eyes, and he felt a little stunned. He looked at Xu Ping'an and said directly, "Give me a reason."
"Brother Zhang, the purchase of the chemical plant is to support Tianqi Paint Company. Hangzhou is too far away from J City. You can calculate how much freight is needed for one shipment."
"If you include the freight price, the cost increase is really not small"
"I can only apologize" Xu Ping'an said, arching his hands, let Zhang Jianbin forgive me.
"Is it necessary for super paint?" Zhang Jianbin asked quickly.
Xu Pingan shook his head, Zhang Jianbin keenly grasped the key, his eyes brightened and said, "Does your research institute have new results?"
"You can go to Hangzhou to build a factory and produce directly in Hangzhou. Cost is not a problem at all."
Xu Pingan was completely stunned. Zhang Jianbin was more sure of his guess when he saw Xu Pingan's expression. He stared at Xu Pingan with straight eyes, and he had made up his mind that he must win this project to Hangzhou.
