And such an operation?

Bradman and Graeme were stunned.

According to Feng Xiaochen's logic, China's development of the most advanced coal-to-liquid process has not only caused trouble for OPEC, but has helped OPEC a lot. For so many years, coal-to-liquids have been a weapon used by various oil-importing countries to threaten OPEC, and if OPEC dares to raise oil prices to a certain level, these oil-importing countries will launch coal-to-liquid research and development projects, threatening the interests of oil-exporting countries.

Now that the Chinese have come up with this technology, holding it in their hands and not spreading it out, other countries are embarrassed. I wanted to import this technology from China, but people didn't agree. If you want to develop it yourself, you have to guard against China's sudden liberalization of technology exports, which will make your development investment go down the drain. There is Chinese technology there, and the research and development of other coal-to-liquid technologies is really about to stop.

In this way, OPEC will have no worries about the future, and it can confidently and boldly raise oil prices, cut leeks from all countries in the world, and as long as it does not cut them so harshly, and adopts the policy of boiling frogs in warm water, all countries must be able to pinch their noses and admit it, right? Of course, they cannot cut China's leek, and they have to pay a little protection money to China from time to time, so it is the right to fertilize leeks.

Calculating the benefits from the global market and deducting the losses here in China, Bradman and his team found that OPEC's gains were actually positive. Since it's positive, it doesn't matter, it's a scenario that OPEC can accept. Besides, the Chinese are actually not high, they just refuse to let OPEC exploit, the so-called loss, is just an illusion, right?

"I think Mr. Feng's proposal is very constructive, and I think the OPEC Council will seriously consider it. Bradman made a decisive statement.

Graeme hesitated and asked: "Mr. Feng, you just said that China will continue to carry out research and development of coal-to-liquid technology, if one day your technology really reaches the level you described, and can reduce the cost of refined oil to less than $200 per ton, then the economies of OPEC member countries will be dealt a fatal blow." I don't know how Mr. Feng thinks about this. ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "Mr. Graeme, the progress of technology is unstoppable by manpower. Even if we don't do it, other countries will. It is an inevitable trend that coal-to-liquids are cheaper than natural oil. If you were to ask me what I was thinking, I would have a word of advice for OPEC......"

"What advice?"

"While the oil is still worth some money, sell it as soon as you can......"

Both Bradman and Graeme felt a mouthful of old blood rushing up from their hearts, and they almost wanted to spray it directly on Feng Xiaochen's face. Nima, it's good not to bully people like this! We thought you were a good person just now, why did you become so hateful in a blink of an eye! No, we have to find two corners to draw small circles at night!

Xu Zhenbo forced a smile and ended the meeting. Sending the Bradman couple away, before he walked back to the building of the Ministry of Commerce, he burst out laughing, and pointed at Feng Xiaochen while laughing, wanting to say something but couldn't say it because he laughed too hard.

"Old Xu, are you okay?" Feng Xiaochen asked as he helped Xu Zhenbo in confusion.

"I'm fine, hahahaha, I'm really going to die laughing......" Xu Zhenbo almost couldn't breathe with laughter.

Feng Xiaochen pretended to be serious and said: "Director Xu, you are also a department-level cadre, even if you take advantage of the other party in the negotiation, you can't laugh like this, right?" ”

"What about me, you are also a department-level cadre, can you be a little positive!" Xu Zhenbo finally stopped laughing, patted Feng Xiaochen with his hand, and rebuked angrily, "As you just said, what 'while the oil is still worth some money, you can sell it quickly', almost angered the foreign guests to death, okay? If we dare to talk like this during negotiations, the ministry leaders will have to beat us up." ”

"I'm genuinely thinking about them. Feng Xiaochen said aggrievedly, "In recent years, the level of chemical technology has been continuously improved, and even if China does not engage in coal-to-liquid technology, other countries will also engage in it." The level of $200 per tonne will be reached sooner or later. At that time, they will have to keep the oil in their hands, and they will only be able to keep the raw maggots. ”

"By the way, Xiaochen, you promised Bradman that we would not export this technology to other countries, and that other countries would also develop this technology, so will there really be the situation you said when the time comes, and people will come up with more advanced technology, but instead rob our market. Xu Zhenbo asked with some concern. Xu Zhenbo feels very distressed that he does not export coal-to-liquid technology to Australia and other countries, and a set of devices is a transaction volume of billions of dollars, which is equivalent to how many shirts and socks China exports.

Feng Xiaochen was full of confidence and said: "Lao Xu, don't worry, our technical intelligence department is not a vegetarian, and has always been staring at those powerful chemical equipment companies in the world." Americans are not short of oil, so there is little interest in this. There are a few companies in Europe, but the thunder is loud, the rain is small, and it is not the climate. The only one who has invested a lot of money in R&D is our old rival, Iketani Manufacturing in Japan. However, their technology is a beat behind ours, and after we announced the start of the project, Iketani was already in a mess. ”

is the so-called a few happy and a few sad. Just when Feng Xiaochen and Bradman were celebrating each other, the headquarters of Iketani Manufacturing in Japan was gloomy. As soon as the news of China's construction of a large-scale coal-to-liquids plant in Shanbei Province reached Iketani Manufacturing, the company's top management was shocked. The marketing department and the technical department took urgent action to collect information about the coal-to-liquid plant in China through various channels, and the feedback received made everyone's hearts cold.

"The combined cost is no more than $650 per tonne, which is a full $150 below our expected target, which means that the technology we are developing is already behind before it succeeds!"

In the conference room of the headquarters, Koji Takai, president of Iketani Manufacturing, said to a group of executives with a dark old face, his eyes scanning back and forth on the faces of technical director Tetsuya Ta and marketing director Yu Uchida, waiting for the two to give him an explanation.

Tian Yuzhe also felt the heat in Koji Takai's eyes, he secretly glanced at Yu Uchida, and when he met the other party, he also threw a look at him. The two exchanged glances for a moment, and Tian Xiongzhe finally stood up.

"Mr. Takai, allow me to give an explanation. Tian Xiongzhe also said while bowing.

"Say it. Koji Takai replied in a deep voice, and at the same time took out a cigar, but did not rush to light it, but trimmed it carefully with scissors, as if this was his favorite.

Tian Xiongzhe also looked at everyone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, the company's traditional products are large-scale fertilizer equipment and large-scale petrochemical equipment, we first obtained the core patented technology required for the manufacture of these equipment from the United States and Europe, and invested a lot of money in the development on the basis of the imported technology, forming our unique patents of Iketani Manufacturing, and with these patents and our exquisite manufacturing technology, we have occupied the international market and squeezed out of this market from the United States and European enterprises. ”

"This is the achievement of your predecessors, since Tian Xiongjun took over as technical director, we have heard the most is that you have complained that Iketani Manufacturing has lost its technological advantage and that the traditional market is rapidly being snatched up by Chinese companies, can you explain to us why?" said a director named Bai Tuchun gloomily.

Tetsuya Ta's face became ugly, and he said, "Director Shiraku, I feel that your accusations against me myself are groundless. In fact, the reason why Iketani lost its technological advantage was that during my previous tenure as a technical director, we transferred too many technology patents to Chinese companies. In the 80s of the last century, in order to export large fertilizer equipment to China, we transferred the manufacturing process of large chemical fertilizer to them. By the 90s, we had transferred our core patents for large ethylene. Also, in order to reduce costs, we have subcontracted the manufacturing and installation of equipment to many Chinese companies. The workers who are currently working on construction sites in Mexico, Venezuela and Nigeria are all trained by us.

If I remember correctly, I was the company's deputy director of technology, and I was a staunch opponent of the transfer of technology to the Chinese, and the director of Baitu was the most staunch and active supporter of these decisions. ”

Listening to the other party's revelation of his old bottom, Bai Tuchun's face was also a little unbearable, and he retorted: "We agreed to transfer technology to the Chinese in order to gain their market. Technology must be constantly updated to remain competitive, and when we win the market, we will be able to use the profits we make in the market to develop the next generation of technology. But, Tian Xiongjun, can you tell me where is the next generation of technology that you are developing?"

"On the stock market, on the real estate where the directors of the white clay are hedged. Tian Xiongzhe also shot back unceremoniously. He wasn't a sleek person in the first place, and he didn't know what it meant to be tactful or tactful. Hearing Bai Tuchun put the responsibility on him, he was anxious, and he no longer spoke in a measured manner.

"The development of technology requires capital investment, and the company's investment in technology research and development has been reduced again and again over the years, and many of the equipment in our laboratory is still old equipment in the 70s of the last century, which cannot meet the requirements of modern technology research and development. And what about the profits made by the company? Director Baitu, don't you know where they have gone?" Tian Xiongzhe also said angrily.

Many of the people present were a little embarrassed, and Tian Xiongzhe could also be said to have beaten a boatload of people with a rod and offended all the directors.
