"Advocating environmental protection is the general trend." Zhao Xin said that he mainly studied this technology in the hope of producing an oil and gas recovery device, that is, collecting volatile gasoline oil and gas in the process of loading and unloading gasoline and refueling vehicles, reducing oil and gas pollution by one or two methods such as absorption, adsorption, condensation or membrane separation, or changing oil and gas from gas to liquid and then to gasoline, so as to achieve the purpose of recycling.
He himself is confident that "2 1 century is an era of membrane separation." But he didn't rush to register the company, but went to a Sino-American joint venture as a technician.
"The boss is definitely not that good." Zhao Xin said that he wants to accumulate some management experience in this enterprise and then become his own boss.
The organic gas separation membrane researched by Zhao Xin was rated as one of the top ten excellent patents.
The trouble is the first step.
He got paid by overdrawing his credit card.
June, 5438+October, 2007 10, Zhao Xin suddenly fired his boss and officially started his own business in Qinhuai District Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center. It turns out that he has a keen sense of smell and has a presentiment that business opportunities are coming!
"At that time, the state promulgated the emission standards of air pollutants for oil storage tanks, gas stations and gasoline transportation." Zhao Xin said that the introduction of this series of national standards has ushered in an opportunity for enterprise development. At that time, he learned that oil storage and gas stations in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei could not directly discharge oil and gas into the atmosphere, and they must all be rebuilt before the Olympic Games in May 2008.
Seize this opportunity, Zhao Xin quickly set up a company and put technology into product application. This opportunity enabled him to dig the first bucket of gold.
"There are more than 30 oil depots in Beijing, and I have done oil depots for five private enterprises." Zhao Xin said that everything is difficult at the beginning. At first, these oil depots and gas stations did not trust his products very much. In desperation, he had to put the equipment into these five enterprises for free. Then sell the recovered gasoline to them at a discount. "In fact, the first bucket of gold I earned was' fished' from the air."
However, with the end of the Olympic Games, the good days will soon pass.
Throughout 2009, his business received almost no business. The other three shareholders can no longer invest. At that time, the company's funds were very tight. Not only was the rent in arrears for half a year, but even the employees' wages were paid by credit card.
"If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" However, Zhao Xin believes that "persistence" is very important in the process of starting a business.
Welcome opportunities for development
The company pays more than 9 million yuan in taxes every year.
"When I was in the most difficult time, the Qinhuai District Government gave me great help." Looking back on the most difficult days, Zhao Xin was grateful that the government had not kicked him out of the factory. By his own insistence, he waited until spring.
With the opening of Shanghai World Expo and Guangzhou Asian Games, Zhao Xin and his company are facing opportunities. 20 10, he successfully sold his products to six oil depots in the spring breeze of the World Expo.
"Our products are not inferior to imported products in technology and performance, but the price is much lower than that of foreign countries." 20 1 1 Continue to adjust the business strategy and successfully put the products into large enterprises such as PetroChina and Sinopec. "They have become our big taxpayers now."
Environmental protection industry has broad prospects.
He tried to list the company in three years.
"Nanjing No.1 * * has eight oil depots, which are currently being rebuilt, four of which are made by our company." Zhao Xin said that in 20 12 years, he will make great efforts to pay taxes to 20 million. His goal is to list the company in the next three years.
If all the oil and gas leaked from Nanjing every year are recovered, it will not only improve the air quality, but also bring economic benefits. Zhao Xin calculated an account. After a conventional gas station is reformed, it can generally recover about 3 tons of gasoline every month.
"Whether it is listing or making a profit, it is only part of my ideal." Zhao Xin, who is already a multi-millionaire, admits that the greater significance of this is actually to advocate environmental protection.
