Chapter 291: Oil Pipelines
"Mr. Xuan, the second batch of German experts really went to Haicang and continued to train Dahua. Wen Zhaohong pulled out a daily worker's newspaper from his office.
Mr. Xuan touched his thinning hair and said slowly: "Su Cheng likes to find the media the most, and he held a press conference again?"
"This time it was the media who took the initiative to go. Dahua did not come forward to release the news. Wen Zhaohong said truthfully: "All of the 100 German experts were blonde and blue-eyed, and officials from Fujian, Xiamen, Haicang, and Zhangzhou all came forward to receive them, and some reporters ran over. ”
"It's all flies. Mr. Xuan shouted, but asked, "What do you say we should do?"
Dahua Industrial's high investment is in front of everyone, and there is no concealment. If Sinopec is not plucked, it will definitely not look good. However, if it really comes out, in case Yihua does not give up the Haicang plan in the end, it will not be just a joke.
Sinopec has been discussing this issue for several days. Wen Zhaohong guessed that Mr. Xuan might have an idea, so he cooperated with the "throwing bricks and leading the way", saying: "We have also increased some training expenditures, and there are foreign experts in the Yangtze ethylene project, how about doing two reports?"
"It's not enough. ”
"So, some more experts from the United States and Europe? Shell has always been very interested in joint ventures. ”
Mr. Xuan nodded and said, "You arrange, well, in addition, you have to do some practical work, how is the localization of the Yangtze ethylene project?"
"This ...... The ethylene project has not yet been completed, and the localization can only be said to be started. ”
"You can invest more. Mr. Xuan blinked and said, "If we can master the manufacturing of 300,000 tons of ethylene equipment, the Haicang plan will be secure." ”
This is of course impossible. For example, the project of large ethylene equipment, without investing hundreds of millions of dollars, it is impossible to even have a little movement. The investment of 10 billion US dollars is not much, because it costs billions of dollars to build a large ethylene plant. Engaged in research and development, we cannot even have a set of experimental equipment. Add to that long periods of unproductive operation. The cost of large ethylene equipment is the highest among petrochemical equipment.
The localization mentioned by President Xuan is actually an attempt, and it is appropriate to describe it as a gimmick. The so-called "mastery" is just rhetoric.
Wen Zhaohong teamed up with him for a long time, and nodded understandingly. smiled and said: "Since this is the case, I will send someone to Yangzi to have a look." ”
"Tell them to be politicians and don't push around. "The Yangtze Ethylene Project is a project of Yangzi Petrochemical. This is also a very strong large state-owned enterprise. Although it is an enterprise in the Sinopec system, it is not a small factory that only promises. If you don't make it clearer, people may have to drag it out.
Wen Zhaohong also knew the twists and turns inside, and nodded: "I'll go over and say it myself." ”
"Good...... Alas......" Mr. Xuan suddenly sighed.
Wen Zhaohong said in surprise: "What's wrong?"
General Manager Xuan laughed, and said with a gloomy eye: "To go to the field, it will take two or three days, and the vice president of the group will come forward for such a thing, and it will take two or three days, you can talk about it." What can we do in a month? ”
"That's why you only have 9 vice presidents. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, if we can do one thing well in a month. It won't be long before it becomes the largest enterprise in the country. Wen Zhaohong half-jokingly. 9 vice presidents said they were helpers. Half of it was looking at the position of the general manager and trying to make a trip. General Manager Xuan really believes. In fact, Wen Zhaohong is alone, and there are only three or four people who dare to use it.
General Manager Xuan naturally smiled bitterly and said: "I want Dahua Industry, if that kid in Sucheng has an order, what kind of gas company do you say he is underneath, dare to violate the yin and yang? ”
"Efficiency is better than capital. We can borrow hundreds of billions of yuan from the bank, and the company below us, just pulled out of a Yangzi factory, is about the same scale as Dahua Group. If they hadn't had a Setan oil field, they would have dragged him to death with the billions of dollars they had earned in the futures market. Wen Zhaohong was a little comforting.
"That's all there is to it. General Manager Xuan accepted the comfort, got up and said: "You go and come back quickly, I will prepare 10 million for you, if Yangzi can do something decent, you can add a little more." ”
10 million yuan to do the localization of ethylene equipment, probably just a bunch of non-original papers, plus a few screws and other physical objects, can be used for publicity, it is impossible to really produce any economic benefits.
This is also one of the reasons why Yangzi is likely to refuse. Economic efficiency determines the bonuses and benefits of the factory, and if they spend money for the sake of fame, they want to spend it on themselves, not on the group headquarters.
Wen Zhaohong had the promised 10 million yuan, and he was a lot more confident, and said: "I'll fly over, finalize the general direction and come back." ”
"Good. Mr. Xuan clapped his hands and opened the door, just in time to see his secretary coming over.
"Mr. Xuan, Dahua Industry has a new trend. The secretary said from a distance of a few meters. Dahua Industry is the most concerned issue of the boss, and naturally it is the most concerned issue of the minions below.
General Manager Xuan had a bad feeling, frowned and asked, "That Su Cheng, what did you do?"
"We have just received news that Dahua Industrial has announced the construction of an 80-kilometer-long oil pipeline that will extend into the sea. The secretary handed over a printed manuscript to General Manager Xuan.
The latter took a cursory glance and asked, "What level?"
"The annual conveying capacity is 13 million tons. It is estimated that the cost per kilometer is 7 million yuan. "The higher the capacity of the pipeline, the higher the cost of a single system. The world's largest oil pipeline has a capacity of more than 100 million tons, but the 10 million ton scale is already a large oil pipeline.
General Manager Xuan silently calculated
"Yes, the pipeline receives crude oil from the sea without the need for tankers to dock. ”
"Circumventing our control of the port. General Manager Xuan said in a deep voice: "Formosa Plastics is planning to build a port, have they said anything about the port's plan." ”
"They said it was a separate project. Port plans are not included. ”
Wen Zhaohong interjected: "That is, no matter whether the Haicang plan is realized or not, they will do this project?"
"Yes. ”
"13 million tons of oil a year, what do they want to do, only refineries can consume so much crude oil. "Mr. Xuan couldn't afford to lose his temper, and the project of nearly 600 million yuan did make him feel huge pressure.
"With this pipeline. They have a say in the Haicang plan. Wen Zhaohong said helplessly: "Even if Formosa Plastics takes over the Haicang plan." It is estimated that they are also willing to accept this official line. Otherwise, I'll go to Dahua first. ”
"Don't go. Mr. Xuan said categorically: "Let's go to him to show his weak heart, what if Dahua proposes a joint venture? I think they are just waiting for us." ”
Wen Zhaolun carefully reminded: "Such a long oil pipeline. It can't be built without approval, which is a bit strange. ”
Mr. Xuan said angrily: "I'll go to Director Mao and ask him where he is." ”
The secretary hurriedly went to call. After a while, he came back with a strange face and said, "Director Mao went to Xia*men." ”
General Manager Xuan walked out without saying a word, and in his opinion, this was obviously a favoritism.
State-owned enterprises have always been extremely tough on favoritism, and General Manager Xuan is no exception.
He took the nearest plane, arrived at Xia*men in the evening of the same day, and then drove hundreds of miles to Haicang in the headache of tinnitus, and found Su Cheng and Director Mao who were observing the line. and another unexpected person, Liu Bing of PetroChina.
Liu Bing is the deputy general manager of PetroChina, but his authority is not weak. He is also the official representative of PetroChina in the Haicang Project recently.
The moment I saw him. General Manager Xuan's pupils shrank, and he didn't bother to say hello. It's like a menacing question, "Why are you here?"
Liu Bing is one level lower than General Manager Xuan, but his qualifications are not shorter than him, and the two are also old acquaintances, in the face of not so polite inquiries, Old Man Liu rubbed his hair indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "Our oil company is ready to cooperate with Dahua Industry to build a trunk oil pipeline, which is the location of a relay station." ”
"Petroleum Corporation, do you want to meddle in the Haicang plan?" General Manager Xuan was still angry, and said: "If you want to participate, you must participate generously, and PetroChina will not notify us if ......it wants to make petrochemicals."
"Mr. Xuan, we are just sending crude oil. Liu Bing's expression was very innocent.
Su Cheng almost laughed, and repeated it in his heart: Mr. Xuan, we are just sending soy sauce.
It's really a character who is more innocent than playing soy sauce.
Mr. Xuan settled down and finally realized that PetroChina was involved in the tubing project and the standard oil business.
"What benefits did Dahua give you?" Mr. Xuan felt that his tinnitus was even worse, and asked with a strong spirit.
Liu Bing said without concealment: "The pipeline project of Dahua Industry was completed by us and Dahua Industry together, with a construction period of two years. ”
"A pipe will buy you through?"
"It's 600 million pipes. Liu Bing smiled like an old man who had made two more bottles of soy sauce.
A pipeline worth 600 million yuan may have a profit of up to 200 million. Dahua Industrial itself does not have this kind of engineering ability, and Sioux City has no interest in this kind of super-large and ultra-complex large-scale pipeline construction that requires countless engineering vehicles, engineers and engineering technicians, and there is no environment for private trunk pipelines in China. Therefore, he always has to hand over the project to a certain company, either PetroChina or CNOOC, or some foreign oil company.
The advantage of handing over to PetroChina is that in order for the pipeline project to continue, they have to help Dahua Industrial Group obtain the Haicang plan to a certain extent.
In fact, PetroChina sent Liu Bing over, which itself has the meaning of showing goodwill. As one of the largest oil companies in China, PetroChina and Sinopec are by no means good neighbors, and in the absence of entanglements of interests, PetroChina will watch the competition for the Haicang plan on a cold sideline.
Sioux City then created a tangle of interests.
After a while, Mr. Xuan figured it out, turned his head and said, "Director Mao, do you agree?"
"This is PetroChina's own decision, and we have no reason not to approve it. ”
The 600 million yuan project settled in Haicang, and it is conceivable how much the attitude of the media and officials will change. Xuan Zongqi's breath was short: "What is this, no, this pipeline can't be built!"
