(.) The senior management of the Dahua Group made a phone call at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for one night. When it was dawn, Sioux Cheng dipped his fluffy pillow for two hours, then got up to shower and shave for breakfast.

Just after 8:30 a.m., the waiter at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse knocked on the door.

Huo Chang opened the door with a smile, and when he saw that it was a little girl, he laughed and said, "You guys are really punctual, as if you are waiting at the door." ”

"I'm waiting at the door. The little girl replied sincerely.

Huo Changna said, and the others went out in turn with a smile. They may not be directly involved in the meeting, but they are actually involved.

Entering the small building, a guard checked it, and Sioux City continued upstairs, while the others stayed in a room on the first floor.

Each unit present had a separate room, the largest of Formosa Plastics, then the rooms of Sinopec, the Ministry of Energy, PetroChina and CNOOC, and the smallest belonged to Dahua Industrial, but that's the kind of differential treatment that the government can show.

The Ministry of Energy sent Minister Jiang this time, PetroChina is still not familiar with the business Liu Bing led the team, and CNOOC is a vice president surnamed Yuan. Although the level is good, it is quite difficult for them to join the Haicang plan.

Only Sinopec came to Xuan General Manager and Wen Zhaohong, Deputy General Manager Wen Zhaohong, who are interested in the Haicang plan, but whether to take over is still under consideration. Suffice it to say, the government's options are limited.

Su Cheng sat in the corner of the living room on the second floor, looking at the beautiful garden outside, a little absent-minded.

Unlike the others, he has no hope for Formosa Plastics. The first half of the meeting was lost.

Liu Bing coughed, sat down beside him, and asked, "I heard that you have made a lot of money?"

"The floating profit is 1.3 billion US dollars, and if Minister Liu wants to borrow money, I will welcome it. Sioux City joked. Oil prices continue to fall, and it's almost time to close the net.

"I'm a bad old man, borrowing money for something. Liu Bing cocked Erlang's legs, but nodded thoughtfully: "So to speak." Do you have what it takes on the Haicang Project?"

"It's a lot of risk, and we're thinking about it, though. Yes, there is this ability. "Sioux City wasn't so sure, but he didn't hide it either.

Liu Bing understood that Su Cheng was indeed considering undertaking the Haicang plan.

In fact. A month ago, Dahua expressed its intention to undertake the Haicang plan, but at that time, Dahua's entire assets were mortgaged to 200 million US dollars, and a large amount of money must be borrowed from China to make a petrochemical base, which is a bit of an empty glove white wolf. In particular, the dollars needed to purchase equipment are not available from the country, so they are not favored.

Now, Dahua has more than a billion dollars in funds in its hands, and it will make such a plan again. It's a bit of a force.

Liu Bing patted the armrest of the sofa lightly and said with a smile: "If Dahua can do it, it will be good." ”

Su Cheng's eyes lit up and asked, "PetroChina supports?"

Liu Bing lowered his voice and said with a smile: "It can't be regarded as support." It can only be said. Dahua is also good at undertaking the Haicang plan, which is better than Sinopec. Of course, Formosa Plastics doesn't do it. ”

The relationship between PetroChina and Sinopec before 98 was delicate. PetroChina is a crude oil producer, and the crude oil it produces is either sold to Sinopec or sold abroad. Sinopec is a petrochemical enterprise. It either purchases crude oil from PetroChina or buys crude oil and refined products from foreign countries. If Dahua also operates petrochemical plants in China, it may compete with Sinopec, which is indeed beneficial to PetroChina upstream.

Sioux City whispered his thanks.

Liu Bing repeated again: "It must be Formosa Plastics that takes the initiative to give up." ”

Su Cheng nodded repeatedly. He has already begun to think about how to use PetroChina's resources, an area in which the former Ministry of Petroleum was too powerful compared to him.

After a while, Formosa Plastics and his party appeared in the living room.

About two minutes later, Zhou Lao, Su Zhenguo, Director Mao and other central leaders appeared in the room.

That's a lot of specs. The general manager of Sinopec is waiting in the hall, and Formosa Plastics comes late and the waiting time is short, which is an attitude that cannot be expressed.

Su Cheng followed everyone to stand up and greet them, then sat down to listen to them. Compared with the treatment of Formosa Plastics, Dahua Industrial is like a township enterprise.

Zhou Lao stood up and shook hands with Wang Yongqing.

Just when everyone thought that they would use the process of greeting first and then speaking, Zhou Lao unexpectedly patted the back of Wang Yongqing's hand with his left hand and said, "Mr. Wang, after careful study and consideration, the central government has decided to fully accept your conditions and not make amendments. ”

Su Cheng sighed secretly, his little wings really couldn't affect the huge national policy.

These conditions have been negotiated for two or three years, and every once in a while, the mainland side will agree to some, almost unilateral compromises. However, the "full acceptance" mentioned by Zhou Lao is still a bit surprising.

When Zhou Lao met, he said, "Accept your conditions", and did not give Wang Yongqing a chance to revise his requirements at all. At this moment, Wang Yongqing was also stunned.

He is an old man in his seventies, and it is normal for him to be stunned, so he was not ashamed to think for two or three minutes, and finally slowly shook his head and said: "Elder Zhou, we have a new requirement for Formosa Plastics. ”

Old Zhou motioned for Wang Yongqing to sit down and said, "You say." ”

"The current international market changes frequently, and the pressure on Formosa Plastics is very great. Therefore, I hope to change the previous promise of 100% export products. Changed to 100% domestic products. Wang Yongqing said slowly, as if he wanted to weigh his own sentences.

100% export means high profits, and does not affect the domestic petrochemical market, the contradictions and policy pressures are relatively small, and China will get more benefits. At least the dollar reserves have been increased.

100% domestic sales mean the market. The slogan "exchanging the market for technology" illustrates the value of the market, and Wang Yongqing's demand has almost changed the basis of the Haicang plan.

"It's coming. Su Cheng looked at the surface of the stage from the audience, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous. To say that Zhou Lao and they don't know Formosa Plastics' ideas, of course it's impossible. He had already given an "early warning" to Director Mao. It is also impossible to say that Wang Yongqing does not know the mainland's thoughts. However, things still haven't changed.

There was not a trace of a smile on Zhou Lao's face. His preemptive agreement to Formosa Plastics' request is a negotiation technique, which also shows that he expected Wang Yongqing's words.

However, it is one thing to anticipate and another to happen. In particular, when he had just agreed to all the conditions, Wang Yongqing still insisted on proposing amendments. It put him in a very bad mood.

Domestic enterprises would never dare to do such a thing.

Only Formosa Plastics' size and status can bargain with the government in this way. If there is one word to describe it, "barbarism" is more appropriate.

Wang Yongqing began to explain as if making amends.

Zhou Lao squinted his eyes and listened.

Wang Yongqing seemed to be unconscious. As he spoke, he became excited, got up and said, "I'll show you the new resin we are going to put into production......

"Just sit down and watch. Su Zhenguo stiffened his face and reprimanded slightly.

Wang Yongqing stiffened for a few seconds. Laughed again. In an instant, he took out the materials he had prepared and demonstrated them as if nothing had happened.

No one from the mainland cooperated, and they all sat there and watched.

Wang Yongqing quickly got bored, and after the demonstration, he explained again: "The current oil market has changed dramatically, and 100% export sales are too risky for Formosa Plastics. In fact, there are many advantages of 100% domestic sales, and a large number of jobs can be solved in the first place. Increase the development ...... related industrial chains"

Sinopec's General Manager Xuan smiled and said, "Anyway, the value of export is greater." If Formosa Plastics can stick to the original plan, it can start work now. ”

He is qualified to say this, and at the same time, he is also expressing his dissatisfaction with the switch from foreign sales to domestic sales. Formosa Plastics' Haicang plan. Not only 700,000 tons of ethylene, but also 10 million tons of refineries. If they want to sell it domestically to the mainland, the way these refined oil products are sold is enough to talk about a pot. Sinopec doesn't want them to build gas stations in the country.

Su Cheng listened quietly, waiting for the quantitative change to turn into a qualitative change.

Although he had known Formosa Plastics' choice for a long time, Sioux City was still embarrassed. Formosa Plastics in the late 80s had a chance to enter China, and maybe another chance in the late 90s. However, none of them caught it in the end. The result is the prosperity of the two behemoths of Sinopec and PetroChina.

Su Cheng couldn't help but think that if Wang Yongqing gave up his original plan and chose to enter the mainland first, under the three-legged position, he didn't know where the final result would go. Formosa Plastics may become the real world Chapter 311 group and Sinopec help, I don't know if it can be done?"

Before the others could speak, General Manager Xuan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What ethylene equipment?"

"700,000 tonnes of ethylene from Casali, or 800,000 tonnes from BASF. We've already selected the equipment and accessories. "Sioux City wasn't afraid to tell them. There are only a few companies in the world that can produce large-scale ethylene equipment, but to choose one of them, there are too many factors to consider, sometimes even involving the other party's bank and customers, coupled with a wide variety of parts, maintenance and delivery methods, as well as meticulous modification work, what is suitable for Dahua is not suitable for Sinopec.

It takes at least a month or two to select equipment and accessories, and maybe four or five months for a state-owned enterprise like Sinopec.

Only then did General Manager Xuan understand that he was lagging behind, and it was like standing still at the starting line.

Zhou Lao was indeed interested and asked, "What do you want to help?"

"We would like to ask Sinopec's experienced engineers to dispatch some professional experts to help us install ethylene equipment after the completion of the 877 project. "Sioux City proposed Formosa Plastics to prove its worth, and Sinopec did come up with the installation of ethylene equipment.

The 700,000-ton ethylene plant is a standard steel jungle. It has reactors tens of meters high, as well as winding pipes with a diameter of several meters. The built ethylene plant is like a huge steel community, and the buildings formed by cans are all spread and intertwined with pipes of different thicknesses. Underneath it, there are also various anti-leakage and environmentally friendly treatment devices...... It's even more difficult to install than building a skyscraper.

Inexperienced units, just like Sinopec, have to spend five, six, seven or eight years of exploration and practice.

Of course, Sinopec after the Yangtze ethylene project is an experienced unit. It is enough to help Dahua shorten the time measured in years.

Old Zhou didn't quite understand the bends inside, so he looked at General Manager Xuan.

The latter stubbornly said, "Our engineers don't know when they will be able to pull it out." ”

Su Cheng immediately said: "I estimate that the 300,000 tons of Yangtze ethylene project in the 877 project can be completed within the year, so that it is just right to meet the speed of our procurement of equipment." ”

Zhou Lao looked at General Manager Xuan of Sinopec.

General Manager Xuan was silent. He can't refute it, what Su Cheng said is both the truth and the good thing, at this time, it also has a strong political significance, for Formosa Plastics, which made Zhou Lao very unhappy, it proves that Sinopec and Dahua have the ability to build their own large ethylene equipment.

Sinopec has the ability to build itself, and with the end of the Yangtze ethylene project, it has naturally been proven. Dahua has the ability to build itself, which is based on the help of Sinopec.

For the sake of wisdom, General Manager Xuan simply didn't say a word and let Su Cheng thigh.

He didn't object, Zhou Lao considered the overall situation, and naturally said: "If the time doesn't conflict, I agree." ”

Wang Keling, who was beside Wang Yongqing, saw them talking to themselves, and said sarcastically: "Su Dong has been preparing for a long time. ”

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Su Cheng said lightly: "Self-built ethylene equipment is one of Dahua's plans, without Wang Butcher, we can't eat pigs with hair, right?"

Wang Keling was speechless for a while. Indeed, once the Haicang plan is implemented, there is absolutely no room for other ethylene plans to survive in China. Even if it is the Yangtze ethylene project, it may have to be postponed and its raw materials will be given priority to the Haicang project.

Therefore, Su Cheng said that it was one of the plans, and no one doubted it.

Seeing that Su Cheng was full of confidence, Su Zhenguo had some confidence in his heart, his expression became serious, and he asked: "Su Cheng, how sure are you that you make 700,000 tons of ethylene yourself?"

"It will be completed and put into operation within five years, and fifty percent of it will be grasped. "This probability is not low, and if it can't be built in five years, it will take half a year, ten years, or 20 years. In the history of the construction of large chemical equipment, this kind of thing is not new.

Su Zhenguo already has a certain understanding of Sioux City. Convinced that he was not talking, he nodded slightly to Zhou Lao.

Zhou Lao had the confidence to make a decision immediately, and took the initiative to say: "We will make a decision as soon as possible." However, regardless of the outcome, it is hoped that Formosa Plastics will continue to help mainland enterprises develop technology and improve management...... In addition to 100% export, does Formosa Plastics have any other requirements?"

"No more. Wang Yongqing was a little weak-hearted, he was really afraid that Zhou Lao would be hot-headed, so he agreed to export 100% on the spot.

Old Zhou stared at him, probably thinking about it in his heart.
