The original intention of Guan Yuntian's visit was to express his care for Director Wei who was about to retire. He was afraid that she would feel empty after retirement, so he planned to hire her as a consultant for Changda Real Estate Company. After all, Wei had provided many help to Changda Group. .

But Lao Wei is more enthusiastic and has a very good impression of Guan Yuntian. She has always been concerned about the development of various businesses of Changda Group. When she heard that Changda Group was developing recycling and processing technology for used batteries, she thought this was quite forward-looking. This technology has very significant social benefits and should receive strong support from policies.

Guan Yuntian always likes to put himself in the other person's shoes when doing things. He feels that Lao Wei will retire soon. At this juncture, he is still campaigning for a company's affairs. If it leads to others gossiping behind his back, it is unnecessary.

Director Wei disagreed with this, "What's wrong with retiring soon? Even if I retire and go home tomorrow, today I am still the planning director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, not to mention that I still have half a year to retire. As long as I am in office for one day, I will have The right to work, no one has the right to make irresponsible remarks behind your back. The harmless recycling and processing technology of used batteries you are developing is conducive to environmental protection and provides vital technical support for the sustainable development of the new energy automobile industry. , the social benefits are very significant, and such technology should receive strong support from policies."

"Director Wei, after all, some matters are not under your personal jurisdiction. If you come forward to ask for help again, I am afraid that I will lose face." Guan Yuntian said.

"Hey, you are thinking too much! Even if I come forward to request certain departments, it is still a work matter. As long as it complies with the policy, they must do it. After all, the administrative resources in my hand are what they need. It does not comply with the policy. I won’t go to them if it’s a problem. The harmless recycling and processing technology of used batteries is absolutely in line with the relevant policies. Even though there is no clear classification yet, the general direction is completely in line with the policy regulations.”

"Okay, I'll send the project approval report as soon as possible, then I'll trouble you."

A week later, Director Wei received the project approval report from Changda Group on "Harmless Recycling and Treatment Technology of Used Batteries". She first went through the project approval procedures in her department. A project can be approved by a provincial department with this specification. If it is high enough, you will enjoy unusual treatment in terms of policy support and industry attention in the next step.

Taking the project establishment report and the project approval document from the National Development and Reform Commission, Director Wei went to the four provincial departments of environmental protection, industry and information technology, science and technology, and material recycling. Everywhere she went, she tried her best to publicize the importance of the project. In honor of the Director of Planning, the relevant agencies of the four departments have shown sufficient attention to this project.

"Director Wei, this project of Changda Group is indeed good, but there is no clear policy on the recycling and disposal of used batteries. What do you want us to do?" The specific offices of the four departments all asked the same question.

"Since you think the project is good, the company hopes to get policy support and financial support from government departments. It is very difficult to develop this technology, and companies need to invest a lot of money and resources. If government departments can help companies, it can be accelerated. The process of technology development." Lao Wei explained.

"The key is which category the used batteries should be classified into for recycling. There is no word yet. The specific operation will be a lot of trouble!"

Lao Wei must understand the difficulties of his colleagues. Even if there is no specific policy, even if it seems very correct, it is difficult for the staff to grasp it. "Policy matters can wait until later. In terms of financial support, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"That's okay. The funds held by functional departments are used to support the project. Since the social benefits of this project are so good, we should support it. Director Wei, in fact, the formulation of policies and industry classification guidance in this area are all your National Development and Reform Commission's responsibility

You should do more work in this department."

Lao Wei nodded in agreement, "Yes, we have to report to our superior leader."

On the next day, Director Wei took the project establishment report to her immediate boss, Deputy Director Yan of the National Development and Reform Commission, and asked, "Boss, have you read this report?" Wei asked knowingly, because she was an old comrade and was about to retire.

If you speak casually in front of your superiors, the leaders won't care.

Lao Yan took it and took a look, "I saw it. I saw it when the project was approved. What's wrong?"

"If companies really start doing projects like this in the future, how will they make a profit? If there is no profit, companies will have no enthusiasm." Director Wei said.

"There may be certain policy compensation for waste recycling. Without profits, companies have no enthusiasm, so they don't have to do it!" Lao Yan said nonchalantly.

"This kind of project must be carried out by enterprises, otherwise the harm to the environment will be greater and greater, and it will even hinder the sustainable development of new energy vehicles."

"Seeing as what you said is so serious, does it matter?"

"I'm not being alarmist, but you can imagine that many years from now, as electric vehicles continue to become more popular, there will be more and more scrap batteries that have expired. If these scrap batteries are not properly disposed of, will all parts of the country be affected?

Will there be mountains of used batteries? These waste products will cause serious pollution to the local environment, which is contrary to the original intention of developing new energy vehicles!"

Lao Yan nodded, "Sister, what issue do you want to explain to me?"

"Isn't our National Development and Reform Commission the department that formulates industrial policies? I mean, since new energy vehicles are the future development direction, the government must pay attention to the recycling and harmless treatment of scrap batteries, but this matter must be done by enterprises after all.

In order to encourage companies to do this, policies should provide companies with certain sources of profits."

"Provide a source of profit for the enterprise? What do you think should be done?"

"It's not complicated to do. I think we should learn from the fuel tax. The government should coordinate and levy a certain proportion of fees in the battery sales process. Through transfer payments, companies that recycle and process used batteries can pay for each set of used batteries.

By accumulating batteries, you can get a certain profit." Lao Wei's suggestion was inspired by Guan Yuntian a few days ago.

"Well, this is a way! I can use your suggestions as a reference when formulating policies in the future."

Policy formulation does not happen overnight. It needs to be proposed by functional departments, and the government invites relevant experts to fully weigh and demonstrate it. If necessary, it must be voted and approved by the legislative body.

Fortunately, this will happen a few years later. At present, Director Wei only needs to obtain development support funds from several departments for Changda Group, which will be another major contribution to the company.

In fact, with the strength of Changda Group, it can fully bear the funds required for development on its own. Even future industrialization experiments may not require any support from the outside world. However, Director Wei feels that the functional departments of the government have support from the state.

Funds are used to support technology development. Since there are policies in this regard and Changda Group's development projects meet the conditions, why not help them fight for it?

Sure enough, as Director Wei imagined, at the end of that year, support funds from five provincial functional departments including the Development and Reform Commission, Environmental Protection, Industry and Information Technology, Science and Technology and Material Recycling were all approved. These funds can not only help the Changda Group Test Center complete

The laboratory development of harmless treatment technology for used batteries, and even future industrial experiments, do not require the Changda Group to invest too much money.

As Dr. Tong initially expected, developing harmless treatment technology for used batteries is much more difficult than developing battery production technology. The technology development at the Changda Group Test Center has been going on for half a year.

However, the progress made in the experiment is very limited. Based on the current progress, it seems unrealistic to complete the development of this technology within one year.

Dr. Tong went to Ye Jiayi's office to report on the progress of the experiment. "After summarizing and analyzing the work in the past six months, the results of the experiment so far are very limited, which is probably a bit disappointing."

"Oh, it's really difficult. This is what you expected." Ye Jiayi acted very relaxed. She didn't want to put any pressure on Tong Wei.

"The difficulty cannot be said to be very great, but it is indeed more difficult than the production technology of batteries, because the production technology only needs to consider making products with good performance and reasonable cost. There is no need to think too much about other things. The recycling and waste-free use of used batteries

When it comes to hazardous treatment, we must not only consider how to deal with it, but also the key is to make it harmless. This is the difficulty. For example, the several treatment options we have chosen so far have no problem with the recycling of used batteries, but they are not environmentally friendly enough.

It was rejected." Tong Wei explained.

"Yes, the key is to be environmentally friendly, and harmlessness is the goal of this project." Ye Jiayi said.

"However, it may be difficult to complete the task within the originally estimated time."

"It doesn't matter to us. It can't be completed in one year. It can be completed in two years, or even three or four years. Are you worried that after the battery project is completed with an industrial production line, your team will be transferred back to the New Materials Research Institute?"

"This is the reason. After the industrial production equipment of the storage battery is completed and put into operation, even if our task is completed, the hospital will definitely take us back. In another half a year, the storage battery project will be officially put into production, but within half a year, the development of this technology will not matter.

It's impossible to accomplish it no matter what." Tong Wei said.

"Well----," Ye Jiayi thought for a while, "Actually, it doesn't matter. After the battery project is officially put into production, you can go back when you should, but the technology development of our test center cannot be stopped."

"But, I can't stay and participate in the technology development here!"

"Nowadays, communication and transportation are so developed. Otherwise, if anything happens, I will ask the technical staff of the test center to communicate with you by phone or fax. If you need to come to the scene to solve the problem in person, you can come over during holidays and weekends.

For one trip, we will be responsible for the travel expenses, what do you think?" Ye Jiayi said.

"This is a good idea, but I'm afraid this is the only way."

"Old classmate, let me make a condition to you. Before your team returns to the New Materials Research Institute, you must train a project leader for us among the existing staff of the experimental center to communicate with you on technical aspects in the future.

, let him execute it.”

"That is inevitable. Including the experimental plan, determination and change of process conditions, I must explain it to a dedicated person. From now on, I will select such a technician among them to train."

Half a year passed in a blink of an eye. Changda Group's high-capacity battery production line with an annual output of 30,000 sets was officially put into operation. Because it was a cooperative project with the other party, Guan Yuntian agreed to invite several leaders from the New Materials Research Institute to attend the commissioning ceremony.

After the commotion, everything calmed down. According to the original plan, other members of Tong Wei's team returned to the unit with the leaders of the New Materials Research Institute who attended the ceremony. Tong Wei took a step late because there were some technical problems in battery production that required Xiang Chang.

The management of Da Group should explain clearly.

In fact, the purpose of Tong Wei's late departure for a day was mainly to report to Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi on the development progress of waste battery recycling and processing technology. After all, they would not meet often in the future. Changda Group gave him such a high remuneration. Before leaving, he

A clear explanation must be given to the two leaders.
