The 39-storey Jinshui Tower sits near the Bund, offering sweeping views of the Huangpu River and its banks. And this building is also one of the by-products of the well's "undoing business". The Mizui Group occupies the entire five floors of the building and serves as the headquarters of the group.

In the spacious general manager's office at the headquarters, Jeton was warmly welcoming Yu Zhu and his party. After greeting for a few minutes, Jetton went straight to the topic according to Jing Jian's instructions last night: "The strength of our water well company is beyond doubt. It coincides with the New Year of you Chinese, so I don't want to waste the time of your gentlemen. If you want to inquire about our company, you can ask the Hujiang Municipal Government. Our group intends to invest 300,000 tons of ethylene and ethylene ancillary industry projects, and hopes to make today's talking points into a "memorandum" and become the basis for formal negotiations in the future?"

Yu Zhu and his companion glanced at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. In fact, the attitude of the emerging group can be seen from the rank of the attendees. At the time of the "901 Project", the CEO of Xinxing Group personally visited Wang Yongqing, and this time it was only Yu Zhu, a small director? It should be said that Xinxing Group was somewhat misled by Hujiang City, that is, it wanted this project, but it was afraid that the water well company would brag about it, and he was afraid that he would not be able to step down if he dared to make a fool of himself at the highest level, so he first sent Yu Zhu to stand in front and feel the situation.

In other words, they don't have much decision. But the embarrassing thing is, how can you say it to the foreigner in front of you? Could it be that "we are little minions, let's find out if you are a liar first...... "Well, if you dare to say such a thing, as soon as Yu Zhu and them go back, the cliff will be pulled out and shot for five minutes."

Yu Zhu glanced at Jing Jian for help, and Jing Jian raised his eyelids, indicating that he couldn't help. Jing Jian is also angry, of course, he can understand the meaning of the personnel rank, and he is very dissatisfied with the attitude of the emerging group. Are you tempting to come and try to go, sir, do I have time to play with you like this?

Fortunately, Yu Zhu quickly put himself in his position, and he asked Jetton, "Mr. Jetton, can you borrow a phone?

Jetton shrugged, he certainly wouldn't put any obstacles in the way of such a trivial matter. Yu Zhu hurriedly left to make a phone call, and hurried back a few minutes later. With a smile on his face, he said to Jayton: "Originally, our chief wanted to come to Hujiang to visit you in person, Mr. Jetton, and it happened that he couldn't get away with it in the capital during the New Year, and he expressed his most sincere greetings to you." The "Memorandum" is fine, but I declare in advance that there are some things that I do not have the right to decide, and I can only record the opinions of your Shuijing Group in the "Memorandum". ”

Jeton nodded expressionlessly. And Yu Zhu finally got a limited authorization, just one, very simple - all those who invest in Shenma can agree, anyway, it will be beneficial to China and harmless. And the content of the bargain, record it all and go back to discuss!

"Our Shuijing Group is ready to invest in a petrochemical project with a total investment of 2.378 billion US dollars in China, which is a specific catalog, including the construction of the third phase of the petrochemical project, the construction of derivative industries, and the construction of 200 gas stations in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in the third phase......"

"We welcome all investments in principle. But major projects in our country need to be approved. Like, why should there be a gas station project?"

"This is our first negotiation, and it is nothing more than the inclusion of all the projects that interest us in the well. Some of them are optimistic about the Chinese market, and some of them are helpful for our product digestion. Please note: I don't want to cause any misunderstanding, this is not some kind of packaging pressure, I will not invest in anything if you don't agree with it. Please understand that our wells are very flexible in their investment and can be split into several small projects to invest in those agreed by the Chinese government. It is also possible to make joint ventures with your Chinese state-owned companies. For example, if your Chinese state-owned company can give $1.5 billion out of $2.378 billion, we can invest the rest of the well, and we don't need a controlling stake or anything. Of course, if we are not satisfied with the issue of management rights, or if the small items we have obtained are just bones, we will choose to withdraw, after all, we are a business investment company. ”

"Uh-huh. Yu Zhu nodded in agreement with Jeton's statement and expressed his understanding. Anyway, he is here as a microphone, and if the above does not agree to a few small projects, then at most it will not be approved.

The location of the project is tentatively set for Hujiang City. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"Sorry, interject. I am from the Hujiang Municipal Government, and I wholeheartedly welcome Shuijing Group's re-investment in Hujiang City, and also welcome Xinxing Group to help build in Hujiang. For this project, we have arranged two locations in Hujiang City. One is the main island of Chongming Island, and the planned land is 520 hectares. One is placed on the attached Hengsha Island, and the area can be larger, 7, 800 hectares. In fact, Hengsha Island can be used as a whole if you want to, and it is best to make it a petrified island. ”

“......”

At the beginning, they were all routine questions, and they were questions that did not raise any objections. As for those gas stations, Jing Jian had the idea of not mentioning it, and it was nothing to refuse, but it was a surprise to agree. At this time, the government did not realize the importance of gas stations as an important sales channel, which could be invested by foreign or private investors.

And only ten years later, the three barrels of oil began to squeeze the market of private gas stations in China, which is basically a forced purchase, of course, you can not sell it, and you will never get a drop of oil. In the end, it created a monopoly in the gas station market. But on the other hand, three barrels of oil are also wealthy, and such a forced acquisition will never make you suffer a loss, which is basically 5 or 6 times your investment back then, or even more than ten times or dozens of times.

In other words, Jing Jian spent 300 million or 400 million yuan to build these gas stations at this time, and after a few years, not only can he recover all the investment through the operation of the gas station, but also sell at least about 2 billion yuan to three barrels of oil. And the policy was once again opened to private and foreign investment, which was already after 2010.

However, as the negotiations progressed, the two sides began to engage in some sensitive issues:

"Mr. Jetton, forgive me for being blunt. I would like to ask, can your Shuijing Group really provide such a large amount of money?"

"Mr. Yu, the same raw material is my straightforwardness. It is impossible for such a huge commercial project not to involve financing. I'm just saying that we at Shuijing Group are able to solve all the funds, and I don't say that we have that much cash flow ourselves. In fact, we have a concrete solution, even if you don't come up with a penny, the $2.378 billion will be all from us, and we are sure enough to solve the funding problem. ”
