Chapter 314: Prospects for the Paper Industry (1000 Equals)

Of course, you can't talk all about the problem, if the factory is useless, who is willing to invest, so after talking about the disadvantages, Shen Long talked about the advantages of Luzhou Paper Mill, "In addition, the scale of our factory is still relatively large, the plant covers a large area, and it has certain technical research capabilities, especially this point, there are not many paper mills that can do these now......

The paper mill was filled with an unpleasant smell, but Wang Dalu and Shen Long didn't care, they were accompanied by the factory leaders, carefully looked at every corner of the factory, the factory was smiling all the way with their backs to accompany them, and when they passed by, the workers cast their eyes expectantly.

The factory and the workers are well aware of the current situation, with the current capacity of the factory, there is no way to get a loan from the bank to upgrade the equipment, if no one invests, the factory will have to be shut down, they will be laid off like the workers of other state-owned enterprises in Luzhou, they see what happened to those workers, and the misery after the layoffs is absolutely unbearable.

Many of these workers have worked in the factory for many years, watching the Luzhou paper mill grow from small to large, leaving their youth and sweat here, and also giving them enough to support their families, but also let them lose the ability to survive outside, once the factory is closed, no one dares to think about where they will go.

"......Boss Wang, our factory is still very good, as long as you invest a sum of money to upgrade machinery and equipment, and then introduce new technology, I guarantee that the workers can work hard for you." The factory director said humble words, and a few years earlier, when he met the boss of a private company, he would have spoken like this.

"For such a large factory, it is not a small expense to update all the equipment." Wang Dalu had already done work before he came, and he already had a rough estimate of the funds needed to update the equipment and technology, and such a large amount of money was not something that could be easily decided by listening to a few good words.

"But the selling price of the factory itself is not high, basically there is no need for Wang Dong to spend too much money, as long as you spend so little money to win such a large factory, this business is still very cost-effective." Shen Long reminded that the current paper mill is a pure burden for the city of Luzhou, and the government has to continue to provide funds to maintain the basic livelihood of the workers, and there is no spare energy to upgrade the equipment, so the asking price is very low.

"The account can't be calculated like this, as an enterprise, Luzhou paper mill can now be said to be negative equity, these machinery and equipment not only can't buy money, I also have to spend money to dismantle ......." Wang Dalu also has his own concerns, "and equipment upgrades and technical upgrades are risky, if you continue to use straw paper, technical problems can not be solved in a short time, if you choose other raw materials, Handong Province now does not have enough fast-growing forests." ”

During this period, the destruction of forest resources was serious, and the news that the Japanese came to China to protect their forests and came to China to buy disposable chopsticks, resulting in a large number of domestic forests being cut down, I am afraid no one would have thought that 20 years later, it would be China's turn to import timber from Japan.

"We have all considered these problems for Wang Dong, the smell here is not good, let's talk in another place!" Shen Long has also made preparations for this, coming out of the paper mill and changing to a clean place by the Crescent Lake, Shen Long and Wang Dalu chatted about the prospects of the paper industry, "Since Wang Dong is interested in investing in the paper industry, he must have done an investigation in advance, I don't know if Wang Dong has heard of the company Nine Dragons Paper?" ”

"I've heard that Boss Zhang is a great businessman, and the investment of 100 million US dollars can be described as a large amount!" A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Dalu's eyes, and the young official in front of him actually wanted to go to the same place as himself.

Nine Dragons Paper is a company founded by Zhang Yin, and in the future, she will also become the first richest woman on the Hurun Report list with this company.

"Well, the raw materials of Nine Dragons Paper come from the United States waste paper, the United States waste paper is sold at an extremely low price, with low freight to China, and then use the mainland's land, energy, manpower advantages, at a low cost to produce high-end paper products, this is a very good business model, our Luzhou is not far from the port, Wang Dong can copy the successful experience of Nine Dragons Paper in Luzhou." Shen Long said.

"But Nine Dragons Paper has already started to buy waste paper in the United States, and if I join again, will it lead to increased competition and an increase in the price of waste paper? In this case, profits will also decline, and Nine Dragons Paper has built such a large-scale factory in the south, will his products enter the market in Handong Province? "These Wang Dalu don't have much bottom in their hearts.

"I collected information from the American Forest and Paper Association on the Internet, according to the data, the United States consumes 47 million tons of paper every year, of which 75% will be recycled, that is, more than 35 million tons, and Nine Dragons Paper has only won less than 5 million tons, and there are still enough raw materials for Wang Dong to use......

"In addition, the annual export volume of Guangdong Province is huge, and the packaging paper produced by Nine Dragons Paper is not enough to meet the local demand of Guangdong Province, so what is the spare time to enter the market in Handong Province?"

"Our Handong Province is also a major foreign trade province, and the market has a great demand for packaging boxes; Now the paper industry is facing rectification, the output will inevitably decline, if Wang Dong can be put into production as soon as possible, there is a high probability of monopolizing the packaging box market in Handong Province, how much profit there is in it I don't need to say, right? ”

"In the past few years, we can use waste paper from the United States as raw materials, and use this time to cooperate with universities in Handong Province to study straw papermaking technology, and at the same time carry out fast-growing forest planting and afforestation, and the government is also very supportive; In this way, even if the price of waste paper in the United States rises in a few years, Wang Dong does not have to worry about the problem of raw materials...... "These are the successful cases of Nine Dragons Paper and some other papermaking companies in the future, and they are fully operable."

"As far as I know, there are already people who have started to work on the technology of making organic fertilizer from the black waste liquid produced by straw paper, and if successful, straw can not only make paper, but also bring additional profits to the paper mill, and at the same time avoid pollution, which is a great thing......," Shen continued.

"Haha, Qi Bureau, to be honest, I have dealt with the staff of the government investment promotion department over the years, but it is the first time I have seen you like this!" The general investment promotion staff is to accompany the relationship with eating, drinking, and having fun, and then help investors to reduce prices and strive for preferential policies to attract investment.
