A set of synthetic ammonia devices involves more than 200 rotating equipment, more than 300 static equipment, and the length of various process pipelines reaches more than 200 kilometers.Each equipment also includes bearings, valves, instruments and other accessories, a set of devices in the light of the instrument has thousands of pieces, the need for a complete industrial system to provide all these equipment and accessories.

Among the Western powers, there are seven or eight countries that have the manufacturing capacity of large-scale synthetic ammonia devices, but these countries do not manufacture all the equipment and accessories in their own devices, but also through the international market to complete the supporting.Take Ikea Manufacturing Institute as an example, it does not produce its own instruments, valves and other accessories, these accessories are purchased from other companies, some suppliers are Japanese companies, and some are other Western countries.As Chinese companies gradually enter the international market, Western equipment manufacturers sometimes from Chinese companies to purchase some accessories, or even a single piece of equipment, really reached you have me, I have your realm.

But for China, as long as there is something that is not in its own hands, everyone will be a little panicked, always afraid of being stuck in the neck.In fact, there are also things with the card neck, such as this time Ikemiya production refused to issue a license for the basic process of synthetic ammonia to the Chinese side, so that China has no manufacturing capacity, but it can not enter the international market.It is reasonable to say that everyone is under the same international trading system, and this practice of arbitrarily holding others' necks is not in line with commercial rules and not with commercial ethics.

In contrast, the situation between Western countries is relatively small, one is because their economic interdependence is more serious, the card neck is to harm others, no one will do this, the other is because they have the same social system, belong to the same camp, so there is an internal coordination mechanism, can avoid this mutual harm.When it comes to China, the West is not so good at talking, China has different social systems with them, and they have good reasons to curb China's development.From the earlier Batumi agreement to the Wassenaar agreement today, there are provisions for China's blockade technology, of course, they will not say that this is due to market competition considerations, but what universal values are cloaked.

In order to gain access to the Chinese market, some Western companies have had to commit to transferring some of their technology to China.But their technology transfer is often accompanied by conditions, such as the use of some technologies must be approved by the original manufacturer, otherwise it is infringement.China has spent more than a decade digesting and absorbing manufacturing technology for large-scale synthetic ammonia devices, but some patents are still in the hands of foreign investors.Although these foreign investors have not yet expressed their intention to restrict China's use of these technologies in Argentine projects, but the Ikegu production Institute, which knows that the conspiracy has failed, will not pull them as an alliance and suddenly trouble the Chinese side?

How many of these technologies are there?What can we break through in the short term and which ones we can’t break through for the time being?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

Jiang Xianyu handed over a stack of paper and said: "The day before today, we have carefully sorted out, a total of 112 key technologies, it is possible for the outside world to be stuck to our neck."Of these, 82 are possible for us to break through, and some of them have long since we have alternatives, but the alternatives are not as ideal as foreign technology, so they have not been applied.The other 30, the technical difficulty is relatively large, in the six months to make a breakthrough, I am afraid it is not realistic."

Feng Xiaochen took the stack of paper, looked over, nodded and said with approval: "Gang is really a veteran in the industry, the situation is very complete, with this list, we can arrange work in some targeted."For the technology that is likely to break through, we must start immediately, at any cost, and must break through within three months.As for these 30 difficult-to-break technologies, can you discuss and see what solutions are possible.”

“It can only be negotiated with foreign patent holders.”Wu Shican said, "such as the U-shaped tube forced cycle process, is owned by the German company Brown, we have been exploring new processes, but so far there is no good direction, so I think in the short term should not be able to break through."

“Can I buy this patent from the company?”The cold cloud asked.

Bao Jianlin shook his head and said, "We talked to them in the past, and they said that this patent is only licensed and not sold."

“All 30 patents I’ve listed are like that.In fact, we have talked to patent holders in the past, and they do not agree to sell these patents, but they can authorize us to use them."Jiang Xianyu said.

“If it’s at other times, it doesn’t matter, we’ve paid the patent in the past anyway, and now we’re paying it.”Zhao He, deputy director of Xinyang second chemical machine production, said, "But now on this section of the eye, we have to prevent the other side from suddenly announcing the suspension of authorization."The Germans and the Japanese are one family, and in case the Ikegu productions give them some benefits, it's hard to keep them from stabbing us in the back."

Feng Zhichen thought and said, "Ichigu production can give them benefits, can't we give them benefits?"If we offered them some good terms, would they promise to sell us all the patents?”

“What does Feng mean, exchange market technology?”Zhao He asked.Market-for-technology is an important means for China to acquire technology in the past, and Chigu Manufacturing Institute has also promised to transfer some of its technology to China because of coveting China's fertilizer equipment market, and it also allows China to freely use those unbought technologies in the country.Listening to Feng Xiaochen's saying that he wanted to take advantage of the exchange of technology with the Germans, Zhao He instinctively thought of this.

Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly and said, "We don't do market technology change now, we engage in technology change technology, what do you think?"

“Change of technology?”Bao Jianlin said, “What technology should we take to change it with Brown?”

"Far away, near in front of you."Feng Xiaochen sold a lock.

Jiang Xianyu said: "Feng always means that the patent of rut-catalysts?"

Feng Xiaochen asked, “What do you think of the director of Jiang?”

Jiang Xianyu entered the long-term examination again, he calculated in his heart for a while, saying: "Bran is also engaged in the research of ruthenium catalyst, but we have taken the lead, they want to bypass our patents, another way, it is very difficult."If we transfer our patents to them, they will not be bound by our patents and can save a lot of time.This exchange is certain to be acceptable to the value of the U-tube forcing cycle.”

“If we want to change, we can’t just change this one, or we’re going to lose.”Wu Shiyan said with a smile.

"Of course not to change this one."Jiang Xianyu's idea was opened by Feng Xiaochen, and the problem behind it was suddenly understood, he said: "Blon and the Netherlands' El company, the United States Kramer company, there are patent sharing agreements, and now the more than a dozen technologies stuck in our necks are in the hands of El and Kramer.If we start a multilateral negotiation and talk about patent swaps with these companies, we give up ruthenium catalyst patents in exchange for the dozen key patents in their hands, and they don't lose."

"But in this way, our rut-catalysting process has fallen into the hands of foreigners."Will they become our competitors when they get this patent?”The cold clouds reminded me.

Feng Xiaochen smiled: "The lice are more itch, and there are many more patented technologies in foreign countries than we do, and we can't limit them to compete with us with a ruthenium catalyst patent."What's more, we and Europe and the United States are not at the same competitive level, people's technology is more advanced than us, we can't see the two jujube of our three melons.This time, the Argentine project, the Dutch to bid, but because the cost is too high, the Argentine side even considered.Our competitors are only Japanese companies, and it is still very good to take the technology of Europe and the United States against the Japanese."

"Well, Feng said it very well."Bao Jianlin praised, and then said to the cold flying cloud: "Cold Minister, in fact, you are not in pain, rutted catalyst this thing, Europe and the United States are also engaged, but they are mainly used in ethylene synthesis and methane synthesis, the current patents are also very much."Synthetic ammonia, the Western countries have basically given up, we take this patent to exchange this patent with the Brown company, El company, they are just to use it in petrochemicals, and we do not constitute a competitive relationship.Even if we don’t exchange with them, they’ll be able to develop similar patents in a few years, and we won’t be worth much.”

“If we can take the Argentine project down, we will withdraw $50 million from our profits to develop new basic processes, and then we will make up for the patent losses of ruthenium catalyst.”Feng Xiaochen promised.

“Long live Von!”Bowie came straight to a word.50 million US dollars, that is more than 400 million yuan, used to develop new chemical processes, divided into tens of millions of units per unit.With the status of the Chemical Design Institute, the fight for 100 million yuan is not a dream.So much money, don't say what a ruthenium catalyst process, even if the entire periodic table is taken to try it again, it is more than enough.

As for whether Feng Xiaochen's commitment is effective, Bao Jianlin and the experts and engineers present have no doubt.They know that in terms of scientific research investment, Feng Zhichen is definitely the most generous of officials, and there is no need to add the word "one of them".It is said that this time to pull everyone to Binhai II to engage in technical research, cold flying cloud will let everyone talk, said do not care about the cost.Binhai Erhua was originally a large fertilizer plant invested and built in Binhai Province, and it is not known that Feng Xiaochen did what hard behind it, actually persuaded Binhai Province to contribute it to everyone to test new processes.Although everyone is a master of fertilizer equipment, it will not break the fertilizer plant that has not yet been put into operation, but this big pen, who can do it?
