In fact, Li Shaozhong is no longer too obsessed with whether he will gain anything by using these technologies. As long as the negotiations can proceed smoothly, end as soon as possible, and BC Company can give up more benefits, it will be fine.
Of course it would be even better if we could get some shares.
He really didn't want to waste time on negotiations; his time was too precious. So much technology was waiting for him and Ye Shuning to decipher together. He felt his time was running out.
After talking with Lu Haifeng, Li Shaozhong went home.
Several children were playing in the yard, with Mrs. Liu and Aunt Cui watching them. Li Shaozhong played with the children in the yard for a while before going to the study to find Ye Shuning.
Seeing her husband coming back, Ye Shuning asked, "How was the talk with Director Lu?"
Li Shaozhong replied, "He said he needs to report this to the higher-ups and maybe even hold a meeting to discuss it. Actually, I really don't want to participate in the negotiations anymore. If they drag on for years, it's going to be a huge waste of time. Right now, I just wish I could spend every moment at the institute doing research."
Ye Shuning understood her husband's urgency very well. "Let's see what Director Lu says first. With these technical details, the negotiations should go faster. Once we've finalized the key steps, you don't need to get involved in the rest."
Li Shaozhong said, "Even if we can't exchange these technologies for shares, we can trade them for some experimental equipment. We need a foundation to develop more advanced precision instruments."
Ye Shuning also knew that they couldn't come up with a high-end technology out of thin air. "If that doesn't work, we can exchange some of our technology with some foreign precision instrument manufacturers for instruments. Only the most important ones that aren't available domestically. As long as we have a certain foundation, we won't be suspected when we develop more advanced instruments."
Li Shaozhong thought for a moment and said, "Let's first select a precision instrument, sort out the information, and then have my cousin contact his friends abroad to see if they can help us connect.
Or I could go directly to the BC company's negotiating representative. Perhaps the D people would be very willing to acquire our technology. Furthermore, the D people aren't that hostile to our country, so providing us with some equipment might be feasible."
During the day, the two of them didn't dare to enter the research institute, but Ye Shuning could take out some materials, and the couple could review and study them in the study. They would put the materials away after they were used. This also ensured the safety of the materials to the greatest extent possible.
In the evening, Ye Shuning and Li Shaozhong actively coaxed the child to sleep and then returned to the room. After closing the door and drawing the curtains, they went into the research institute together.
The two men did nothing else but drove out of the institute's gate. This time they continued down the same road. After passing the valve factory and the instrument factory, they saw a packaging machinery factory.
They have actually come a long way, far away from the door of research, which also shows how large the area of these factories is.
Ye Shuning said, "These factories didn't originally exist here. They are indeed factories in Yuncheng, but they are definitely not next to our Chemical Research Institute. It seems that the factories that appeared this time are indeed related to our strong will."
Li Shaozhong said, "That would be even better. Perhaps more mechanical factories would appear in this space. Let's go and take a look at this factory first."
The two entered the factory and discovered it was a large-scale manufacturer of packaging machinery. They also produced a complete production line for liquid foods, from production to packaging. These included automatic packaging machines, sterilization equipment, automatic filling machines, conveyor and storage devices, and automated control systems.
The machines produced by this factory can complete the production of liquid foods such as milk.
In particular, the equipment that can produce light-proof film bags, sterile pillows, and sterile bricks is the main product.
Ye Shuning is a chemist and knows more about milk packaging. "Brother Zhong, don't underestimate this small package. It can extend the shelf life of liquid foods such as milk without preservatives or refrigeration.
This entire production line boasts a very high level of technological sophistication. In my previous life, I held tens of thousands of patents related to this technology. Initially, domestic production of this equipment and packaging was practically impossible. Even when we considered producing our own, the high costs of patent fees and other expenses made it uneconomical and unviable. Consequently, we relied solely on foreign packaging and equipment.
In the future, as people's living standards improve, drinking milk and other beverages will become commonplace. So, you can imagine the amount of packaging used each year. This alone earns hundreds of billions annually. Only later, as China's economy, technology, and other aspects gradually surpass those of the West, will it achieve independent production in this area.
Li Shaozhong was stunned when he heard this. "So much, hundreds of billions?"
Ye Shuning nodded and pointed to a product introduction sheet. "Let's say this aseptic pillow packaging production line is a packaging method that seals commercially sterile products after sterilization in sterilized containers, fills them under a sterile environment, and keeps the packaging container sealed after filling to prevent re-infection, in order to achieve a longer shelf life without adding preservatives or refrigeration.
This aseptic brick is a packaging system based on food-grade cardboard, made of a composite of polyethylene, paper, and aluminum foil. It is a high-tech food preservation method that involves sterilizing liquid foods for a short time before packaging. The packaging is then filled and sealed in a sterile environment, ensuring that the packaging material, packaging materials, and packaging aids are all sterile.
This light-proof film package is constructed from multi-layer sterile composite films, including three-layer black and white films, high-barrier five-layer and seven-layer co-extruded films, and aluminum-plastic composite films. Depending on the material, the shelf life ranges from 30 to 180 days. It is safe, hygienic, convenient, and relatively low-cost, making it very popular with some manufacturers.
Whether it's the equipment involved in these production lines or the materials involved in packaging, they all involve a number of complex technologies. Some foreign companies have already been researching this technology, and we can't fall behind. Otherwise, they will make so much money from our country in vain in the future."
Li Shaozhong felt the burden on his shoulders grow heavier as he listened to his wife's story. "It seems this research institute is full of surprises, and it seems to be giving us some guidance so we can be aware of some problems in advance."
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "I didn't expect such a factory to appear here. If I hadn't seen this factory, I would have forgotten about it. This space seems to be giving us some guidance as you said."
