Chapter 28: Shocking black hole

Of course, the accountants of the Panshi Municipal Government handled the matter. Fan Wubing’s recent thoughts have been mostly focused on the future development direction of Panshi Heavy Industry.

Ever since he had the idea of ​​turning Panshi Heavy Industry into an optical cable production base by accident through asset restructuring, he has been studying the feasibility of this issue and sent a consultation message to his American subordinates asking about the feasibility of this matter.

Optical fiber communication is a communication method that uses optical fibers to transmit signals to achieve information transmission. The optical fiber used in optical fiber communication is composed of an inner core and a cladding. The thickness of the inner core is generally tens of microns or several microns, which is thinner than a hair strand. The outer layer is called a cladding. The function of the cladding is to protect the optical fiber. In fact, the optical fiber communication system does not use a single optical fiber, but an optical cable composed of many optical fibers. Optical fiber communication is a communication method that uses optical waves as carriers and uses optical fibers as transmission medium to transmit information from one place to another. In 1966, Dr. Kao, a British Chinese, published an epoch-making paper. He proposed that the use of quartz glass optical fibers with cladding materials can be used as a communication method.

Since then, research work in the field of optical fiber communication was initiated. In 1977, the United States successfully conducted optical fiber communication tests with multimode fibers for the first time between two telephone offices 7,000 meters apart in Chicago. In the mid-to-late 1980s, single-mode fiber communication system was realized. Compared with multimode fiber, single-mode fiber optical fiber has good transmission performance, small signal attenuation, wide transmission frequency bandwidth, and large transmission energy. However, due to its small core, it brings certain difficulties to manufacturing, connection and signal coupling. Single-mode fiber is an ideal transmission medium for achieving large capacity and long-distance communication. The development of optical fiber communication is extremely rapid. By the end of 1991, 5.6 million optical cables have been laid around the world, and this number is expected to double in three years.

To be honest, Fan Wubing didn't know much about optical cable communication technology, but at least he knew one thing. When he used optical cables to surf the Internet, the feeling was very refreshing, far from comparable to dial-up kittens and adsl-surfing the Internet.

Soon he found out that domestic and international optical cable manufacturing technology and manufacturers. If we talk about production alone, the manufacturing process is not a big problem. The research institutes under the Ministry of Electronics Industry in China have the ability to produce optical cables, but Fan Wubing also noticed a problem. The biggest problem in optical cable production is fiber prefabricated rods and wire drawing technology. These two technologies are still in a backward state in China.

Due to technical and cost issues, domestic optical cable production is basically processed using optical fiber prefabricated rods imported from abroad. This naturally increases production and operation costs, and makes the prospect of domestic optical cable manufacturing much dimmer than that of foreign countries.

For the entire production process, fiber prefabricated rods and wire drawing technology are upstream industries, while optical cable production is downstream industries. Of course, the upstream industries affecting the price factors. Therefore, Fan Wubing saw this very keenly. If the localization of fiber prefabricated rods and wire drawing technology cannot be completely solved and is in a relatively mature stage, simply developing optical cable manufacturing technology will not be profitable.

Yes, the domestic demand for optical cables will be very large in the future, so large that it is mouth-watering. However, if foreigners are allowed to use the two bottlenecks of optical fiber prefabricated rod technology and wire drawing technology to stumbling their necks, and they can only rely on imported optical fiber prefabricated rods from abroad to process and produce optical cables. Once there is a problem with upstream suppliers, their company will be hit hard. This situation is untolerated by Fan Wubing.

Therefore, Fan Wubing and the United States clearly require that the most advanced fiber optic prefabricated rods and wire drawing technology must be obtained. As for the price, it can be negotiated slowly.

The work efficiency of the subordinates in the United States is very high. In less than a few days, the news was reported that these two technologies were not difficult to solve, and together they were only a few million dollars, but the companies there would rather sell production equipment to Chinese companies.

"I'm not a fool. Without patented technology, why do I want a bunch of equipment for?" Fan Wubing repeated his request, chatting about technology transfer and then about equipment purchase.

After negotiations, the American company finally agreed to Fan Wubing's request to transfer the complete set of fiber prefabricated rods and wire drawing technology, with a cost of US$5 million. At the same time, the two parties also signed a production equipment purchase contract worth US$10 million, preparing to assist Fan Wubing in establishing a large optical cable production base in mainland China.

Fan Wubing was in a very happy mood after he negotiated the business on the phone. For him, it would be a good thing if he could take over Panshi Heavy Industry, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't agree. At worst, he could spend more time starting a new business in Hengdian or Liushi, and he could achieve the same effect.

"Dongdongdongdongdong--" Fan Wubing was about to rest for a while when suddenly a knock on the door sounded outside the room.

Who is this? I came to disturb my sleep at noon.

Fan Wubing felt a little unhappy and wanted to open the door, but unexpectedly the man kept knocking outside. He had to walk over and look inside Maoyan, and found that Lin Xiaotong was standing outside.

"I said sister, do you don't have lunch break at noon?" Fan Wubing opened the door reluctantly and asked Lin Xiaotong with a frown.

Who knew that Lin Xiaotong also looked unwilling to do so. He immediately said angrily, "Do you think I am willing to go this trip? Your dad is in a hurry to find you!"

"What's my dad asking me for? Can't I call me? Why did you ask you to come here in person?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.

Fan Wubing immediately guessed in his heart whether Lin Xiaotong started harassing his father again, so he found a reason to send Lin Xiaotong over? Let him go over and escort him? But it shouldn't be like this, right?

"Your phone seems to be broken and it can't be dialed. Otherwise, who would you think you would be willing to stare at the sun?" Lin Xiaotong replied unhappily, and sat down and hammered his legs.

"Oh, it's really bad." Fan Wubing tried the phone, and there was no dial tone. Looking at Lin Xiaotong, she was wearing high heels under her skirt. No wonder she complained so much.

In fact, it is not very far from Fan Wubing's home to the municipal government compound. It is only a dozen minutes' walk, but walking around in high heels is not that comfortable. No wonder Lin Xiaotong has a complaining expression on her face.

"Let's go quickly, Mayor Fan is waiting." Lin Xiaotong urged.

Shaking his head, Fan Wubing followed Lin Xiaotong out, then drove onto his own big horse and drove to the municipal government compound together.

"Hey, have you missed me recently?" Lin Xiaotong sat in the passenger seat and suddenly asked Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing was driving seriously. Suddenly, Lin Xiaotong asked this, he was almost shocked and replied hurriedly, "Sister, don't spend time when it's okay, okay? I'm driving! My heart is extremely fragile, I can't stand the fright!"

"Tsk—" Lin Xiaotong saw Fan Wubing's expression and said unhappily, "What's your expression? I'm not a female ghost? Will you mess with me and die?"

You really don't ban your mouth! When Fan Wubing heard Lin Xiaotong talk to him, the black lines on his forehead suddenly appeared. It was indeed a bit difficult to deal with when he met such a fierce and beautiful female secretary.

It would be fine if Lin Xiaotong was not Fan Heng's secretary, but Fan Wubing wouldn't mind developing a super friendly relationship with her. Unfortunately, what did that say? Rabbits don't eat grass by their nests! He doesn't want to make someone beat and kill him in order to seek freshness. Even if his father Fan Heng knows, it would be a headache.

Fan Wubing felt that girls like Lin Xiaotong looked super bold on the surface and were more proactive in treating boys, but if you really care about it, it would be terrifying to have such girls fall in love. Unless you have plans to end the playful flowers, it would be better to stay away from them.

Soon the two arrived at the municipal government compound. Fan Wubing parked the car, then entered the building with Lin Xiaotong, and then walked straight into Fan Heng's mayor's office.

Fan Heng was lying on the desk and looking through a lot of information. When he saw Fan Wubing coming in, he called his son to sit down opposite him, and then said to him with some headache, "This time I found out that it's really a big trouble!"

Fan Wubing was stunned, then turned his eyes to the pile of information on the desktop, glanced over and found that it was all about the financial review reports of Pingyuan Factory. He immediately understood that this must have been found out.

"I didn't expect that the Pingyuan Factory had such a big problem in the past few years!" Fan Heng said with a wry smile, "It seems that since we left the Rock, the leadership of the Pingyuan Factory began to fall! For about five or six years, the leadership has swept away hundreds of millions of profits from the factory, which has led to the Pingyuan Factory being forced to fall into the dilemma of division and bankruptcy!"

Has embezzled hundreds of millions? Fan Wubing was stunned. The domestic price level is relatively low. What is the profit of hundreds of millions of yuan? Perhaps the profits earned by Fan Wubing before going abroad were basically embezzled!

Fan Wubing couldn't help but take a deep breath, "They are very brave! Are they not afraid of taking guns?"

In the early 1990s, the criminal law was still quite strict. There were many people who embezzled millions of dollars and ate guns, not to mention that the group committed crimes within a few years and embezzled huge sworms worth hundreds of millions of yuan!

If such a person is caught, he will have no hope of survival.

"Man dies for money, birds die for food, the ancients said nothing wrong." Fan Heng snorted and said to Fan Wubing, "If they have hundreds of millions of yuan in front of them, and there is no supervision, they can suppress their desire to reach out. There is a ghost! More than a dozen people actually divided up hundreds of millions of state-owned assets! They are so brave!"

Fan Wubing shrugged his shoulders and said to his father, "What are you going to do?"

Fan Heng frowned and said to his son with some distress, "Although the corruption problem of plain factory can be explained clearly, the number of people involved in these dozen people is probably not a small number. The city is limited to a few members of the Standing Committee who know this. Now everyone has a great disagreement, and most people advocate stopping when they are better, otherwise it may cause them great trouble."

Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that what he said was in line with the truth.

The domestic network of relationships is quite complicated. If you want to deal with a cadre at the level of the department, you need to make a lot of determination to eliminate a lot of interference and offend countless relationships. In the end, you have to be criticized or take responsibility. At the risk of being unable to sleep or eat, relying on the powerful state machine, you have arranged a very complete arrest plan to ensure that no one informs and leaks the news, so that he can be brought to justice. It is not ruled out that this person continues to work on relationships and gets a medical parole or a meritorious service reduction. The final result is still difficult to reverse the information.

It is not that Fan Heng and the cadres of the Panshi Municipal Government have no confidence in the domestic environment, but that the actual situation is really difficult to build confidence. The corruption incident in Pingyuan Factory involved a higher level of cadres, more people, and larger amounts. It is no wonder that when they faced this case, although they had already obtained a large amount of criminal evidence from the other party, it was difficult to decide to take action.

"What do you mean by dad?" Fan Wubing didn't care about the other people's thoughts, but only cared about whether his father could still stick to his original principles. So he looked into Fan Heng's eyes and asked directly.
