In the face of doubts, in order to gain support from relevant leaders for the new standard laboratory and eliminate their doubts, Fang Hanmin explained the necessity and importance of building a standard laboratory from several aspects, and ensured that no waste would be caused.
First of all, the failed palladium carbon catalyst recovery test that will be carried out in the near future has extremely high requirements on test conditions.
In addition, the subsequent development of generic drugs not only required a long process flow, but also had quite complex process conditions and high control precision, which ordinary laboratories simply could not meet the requirements.
Third, according to the plan, in the near future, Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory will enter the field of biopharmaceuticals, and automatic disinfection and sterilization are a basic requirement for laboratories.
Finally, as for further goals, it will involve the creation of new drugs and high-throughput drug screening, and the requirements for laboratories will be higher. By then, I am afraid that higher-standard laboratories will have to be built.
Even though they were the technical authorities of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, Lao Wang and Lao Xia only had a partial understanding of Fang Hanmin's explanation. However, Fang Hanmin made it very clear about the necessity of building a standard laboratory. This was understood by everyone present. understood.
Deputy Director Wang has no objection to the necessity of building a new standard laboratory for the time being, but he does not understand why the development of new products and new technologies has to develop in an increasingly difficult direction. "Comrade Hanmin, when considering the development of new technologies and new products, have you analyzed the relationship between development difficulty and final benefits?"
From a technical point of view, although this question is a bit naive, it can link the development difficulty with the final profit, which shows that Lao Wang has thought carefully. At least he knows that the greater the development difficulty, the higher the experimental conditions required and the higher the funds invested. The more there are, this may be a question that Lao Wang has long wanted to ask.
Fang Hanmin is particularly disgusted with the kind of mindless and irresponsible talk. Although Lao Wang's question seems a bit ridiculous, Fang Hanmin thinks that he has thought it through carefully. As long as the doubts are explained clearly, the other party will be more likely to accept it.
Fang Hanmin looked at the other party and said, "The issue Director Wang is concerned about is actually the input-output in the technology development process. Yes, in basic research, the benefits of direct output can almost not be considered, but application development, this is Factors that must be taken into account, otherwise there is no point in developing the technology.”
After a slight pause, Fang Hanmin changed the subject, "However, almost everyone who is engaged in the development of new technologies and new products must first compare the new technologies and products they will develop with the original technologies and products before officially starting work. Analyze and compare. As far as the pharmaceutical industry is concerned, new technologies either have more reasonable processes and lower production costs than the original technologies, or they overcome the fatal flaws of the original technologies; new products either have higher efficacy or have fewer side effects. Of course, sales The price is generally higher.”
"Yes, technological development is meaningful only when the new technologies, processes and products developed are competitive, and only when this is achieved can technological progress be motivated." It seems that Chief Engineer Lao Xia's understanding of this issue is Much better than Deputy Director Wang.
"Yes, if the efficacy of developing a new drug is not as good as that of the old product, there is no point in developing such technology."
“The new process developed is more expensive to produce than the old process, and it is impossible for such technology to be implemented.”…
Everyone was talking about each other, and the atmosphere in the venue was much more lively than before.
Deputy Director Liang, who was in charge of finance, remained silent. Seeing that the atmosphere became lively, he asked a more serious question, "Comrade Hanmin, just now you said that there will be no waste. It should include two aspects, right? One is the laboratory The second is the effective use of construction funds. What I want to know is, how do you ensure that construction funds are used reasonably and efficiently?"
The issue of fund use was beyond Fang Hanmin's expectation. He thought for a moment and then said calmly: "As for the use of laboratory construction funds, after preliminary consideration, I have three ideas. First, set up a three-person temporary team, consisting of me and the finance department. It is composed of the section chief and a grassroots technical staff, who are responsible for reviewing the rationality of the use of each fund that reaches a certain amount; secondly, the construction funds are completely spent by the finance department, and the technical department does not have any contact with the funds; thirdly, the experiment After the building is completed and before the financial settlement, Director Liang is asked to send someone to audit all expenditures."
"Okay, I agree with this approach. During the construction of the laboratory, no money that should be spent should be saved, and no money that should not be spent should be wasted. Every expenditure must be spent clearly." Liang had almost no interaction with Fang Hanmin at work before. Through this incident, he took a new look at the young man.
After full exchanges and discussions, the team members basically reached a consensus on the matter of building a new standard laboratory. However, in terms of the construction deadline, it is not so much that Fang Hanmin did not think carefully in advance, but that the time was not ripe before, even if a report was made in advance. , and it is impossible to get approval from the factory.
If the plan goes as planned, it will take two years for the laboratory to be fully equipped with construction, decoration and facilities before it can be officially put into use. The recovery and treatment test of the failed palladium carbon catalyst will be launched in October of that year at the latest. The time difference is too far. Got it!
Seeing Fang Hanmin's anxious look, Director Yuan suggested: "Relatively speaking, the waste catalyst recovery and treatment test has the most urgent time and the lowest experimental conditions requirements. It is better to divide the laboratory construction into two phases. The first phase For parts of the project with lower construction standards, it is easier to decorate and provide facilities. I think the construction period of the first phase of the project should be relatively short. If we seize the time for construction, it should be put into use in October."
Fang Hanmin seemed to be inspired, "Yes, it will be constructed in two phases. The parts with lower standards will be built in the shortest time first without delaying use. The remaining parts with high standards will be built later. Some of the high-standard laboratories Supporting facilities may not be available domestically at the moment, and may need to be imported.”
"Then it's settled. Hanmin, go back and prepare a specific implementation plan for the laboratory construction, including the capital budget, funding requirements and time limits for each step, so that you can make funding arrangements at that time.".... ..
In order to prepare a specific implementation plan, the laboratory construction plan must first be determined. Returning to the technology department, Fang Hanmin immediately summoned Guo Peng and Wan Cheng to his office. When they met, he asked: "What do you think about the things you have been asked to consider?" Okay? Have you two selected the construction plan? "
"Just elected."
"Sit down and tell us how you chose."
The two assistants respectively stated their respective plans and reasons. What Fang Hanmin did not expect was that they unanimously chose the plan to build according to general standards.
The time traveler heard a saying in his previous life that poverty limits your imagination. Only now did he realize that having a full meal when a person is starving may be the greatest ideal. Dare you have any other extravagant wishes?
Indeed, in the view of Guo Peng and Wan Cheng, Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory originally had no formal laboratory at all. If the factory could approve the construction of a standard laboratory, even if it was built to the lowest standards, they would be satisfied. For higher requirements, they Without even thinking about it.
Fang Hanmin did not comment on the choice of the two assistants. He directly gave his own choice, "What do you think of this plan?"
Guo Peng and Wan Cheng took it over and looked at it. They couldn't believe it. "Chief, are you sure you want to build such a high-standard laboratory?"
"Why, don't you think we should?"
"Of course it should, it's so necessary! The problem is that the investment to build such a high-standard laboratory is not small! Can the factory agree?"
"I just came back from a meeting. Let me tell you that the factory leadership team has made a decision and agreed to the technical department to build a high-standard laboratory in stages!"
"Really?" The two assistants looked at Fang Hanmin in surprise, "Section Chief, how did you convince the factory leaders?"
"At the factory-level leadership team meeting, I told the leaders about the necessity and importance of building high-standard laboratories. Although there were different opinions, the leaders still understood the overall situation and took the overall situation into consideration. The key was to get the support of Director Yuan Huge support.”
"Since the factory agreed to build a new laboratory, why did it divide the construction into two phases? It would be great to build it in one go!"
"The phased construction is still the method Director Yuan came up with for us. Think about it, in October this year we will carry out a recovery and treatment test for the failed palladium carbon catalyst. If the overall progress is carried out, from construction to decoration to auxiliary facilities, at least It will take two years for the laboratory to be put into use, but the waste catalyst recovery and treatment test cannot wait that long. In order not to delay the test, Director Yuan suggested seizing the time and building the parts with lower standards first, and later Build that part again to a high standard.”
"Oh, that's a good idea."
"The specific construction plan of the laboratory is based on mine. What I want to tell you is that I will write an implementation plan and submit it to Director Yuan immediately. It is estimated that it will be approved soon and the construction will start accordingly. You two I am specifically responsible for the construction of the laboratory. As the representative of Party A, I must urge Party B to seize the time and try to complete the first phase of the project as soon as possible."
...
Fang Hanmin's work received almost unconditional support from Director Yuan. He put the laboratory construction implementation plan in front of Director Yuan. Old Yuan signed it without even looking at it, and told him: "You put this Make two copies of the plan, leave one here with me, give one to the deputy director in charge of infrastructure to ask him to organize construction immediately, and one to the deputy director in charge of finance to ask him to prepare funds. I will say hello to them again, Make them pay attention.”
Under the supervision of Director Yuan, all departments acted vigorously and resolutely. Three days later, the infrastructure and finance departments took action respectively. As for Fang Hanmin, he handed over the specific work to his two assistants Guo Peng and Wan Cheng. Unless there were major matters, he basically didn't care about general affairs.
Xu Hui and Jiang Guoxin were responsible for the process transformation of sulfa drugs in the first workshop. According to Fang Hanmin's arrangement, they first became familiar with the original process route and then compared it with the new process given by Fang Hanmin. However, they had some questions and needed to communicate with Fang Hanmin.
He came to Fang Hanmin's office with a large stack of drawings, "Section Chief, do you have time? We have a few questions that we would like to ask you."
"You guys sit down and talk. Don't ask for advice. Didn't I say that if you have any questions, you can communicate at any time." Xu Hui and Jiang Guoxin were a few years older than Fang Hanmin. They had regular contact and respected each other.
Xu Hui unfolded the drawings on the table, and Jiang Guoxin took the new process technical information given by Fang Hanmin, "Section Chief, through comparative analysis, if the requirements of the new process are followed, the main equipment of the original production line can be retained, but the pipelines must be rebuilt. The layout and renovation process is quite a workload!”
"You remember, for the production line in the first workshop, what we need to do is process transformation, not improvement, which is not a simple repair."
