Chapter 295: One Level
"We will complete the procedures as soon as possible, so that the Haicang plan can be regularized, please Director Mao on my behalf to thank the leaders for their trust and care...... Wang Yongqing stood up, which means that today's meeting is over.
Then, he said to Sioux City: "If Dahua wants to discuss environmental standards, let's wait for our Haicang plan to start construction." ”
General Manager Xuan also said politely: "Sucheng, Formosa Plastics will definitely do the Haicang plan in accordance with national standards, you have too many nosy things." ”
Su Cheng smiled and said: "I heard that the introduction of Formosa Plastics to do the Haicang plan is to exchange the market for technology and learn advanced management experience at the same time. Will Formosa Plastics transfer technology to domestic companies? No, I don't think so. Then, learning advanced management experience, this advanced, is always a little higher than the domestic standard, Chapter 295 a level. If we build in full accordance with the low standards in China, what are we going to do with Formosa Plastics?"
Sioux City pointed the finger at Formosa Plastics, and it was quite sharp. The leaders of several other central enterprises were all stunned, which was completely beyond expectations.
General Manager Xuan's face changed, and he said, "You don't come according to national standards, what standards do you want to use?"
"I think the environmental standards should be at least higher than Taiwan's. Of course, if some of Taiwan's environmental protection standards are lower than those of the mainland, then follow the mainland's. ”
General Manager Xuan was angry and said, "Open your mouth, where is there such a thing as you." ”
"If Formosa Plastics can't do that, what do we want Formosa Plastics to do? Is it to leave land and money to Formosa Plastics? Keep the pollution to yourself?" Su Cheng said everything he could say, what he couldn't say, and what no one else could say.
Environmental protection is a very sensitive topic. It's costly, and it doesn't generate value. For factory owners, environmental spending is all about coping with errands, with larger businesses finding ways to reduce their spending and smaller businesses struggling to survive. Environmental protection equipment can naturally be less than it can be, and it will not be opened if it can be opened.
Formosa Plastics' philosophy, Chapter 295 One level has always been to minimize one-time investment. $7 billion in investment projects. 1% of the investment is 70 million US dollars, and since Formosa Plastics is a business, it cannot but limit the investment in it.
But. It's one thing to do it, it's another thing to say it. Formosa Plastics is a company that wants to invest all over the world, and they don't want to leave behind the notoriety of being "polluting". Even if the Chinese government doesn't care, they have to act like they are advanced.
Wang Keling had to stand up again and said, "As we said, the design of the Haicang petrochemical base has not yet been completed......
Su Cheng interrupted him and said, "You say, can the environmental protection standards meet the highest standards of the three regions across the Taiwan Strait?"
Wang Keling looked at Director Mao again and said, "If this is what the government of China wants......
"That's just my problem. ”
Wang Keling is not a loser, he snorted. He said: "It seems that Dahua is going to be an opposition party? Whatever Formosa Plastics is in favor of, Dahua is against?"
"I just think that what Dahua can do, Formosa Plastics with advanced experience should be able to do. ”
"What do you mean?" Wang Keling's expression froze.
"Dahua Industrial invited BASF from Germany. As well as the green environmental assessment organization in the United States, we are ready to raise the environmental protection standards of our methanol base to the highest standards in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait and even Southeast Asia. "The environmental protection requirements of large methanol are originally lower than that of large ethanol, and Dahua's foundation is also good, and it is not difficult to achieve the top in terms of the standards of Southeast Asia. It's just about 5% more investment.
However, a 5% investment is a staggering amount for a large ethylene project.
Wang Keling didn't know what to say for a while.
Wang Yongqing was the first to understand and asked, "Dahua Industrial wants to work against Formosa Plastics?"
"I believe that by holding each other accountable, we can do better. Sioux Cheng said with a smile on his face: "The U.S. Green Environmental Assessment Organization is happy to inspect Formosa Plastics and Dahua. ”
The Green Environmental Assessment (SEE) is a well-known NGO in the petrochemical industry and belongs to the environmental activists that everyone hates. This kind of organization does environmental assessment, but it is not in accordance with national standards, nor in accordance with production standards, and it doesn't matter whether your technology is up to or not, they only say that it is not good.
Only in rare cases will a company invite an environmental organization, such as Sioux City Now.
Whether it is production, capital or technology, Dahua Industrial, as a new company, is far inferior to Formosa Plastics Group. However, the new company also has the advantage of a new company, which has a short history and few factories, so there are not so many environmental issues that attract attention.
For the Green Environmental Assessment Organisation, it is significantly more tempting to bring down large companies.
Everyone turned their brains and understood Su Cheng's intentions.
Director Mao secretly said "insidious", and Wang Keling scolded directly: "I don't believe that Dahua Industry is clean." ”
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Dahua is indeed clean. I do things with a sense of social responsibility, and fortunately, since the 90s, the environmental standards have been getting higher and higher, and I don't know if the previous standards of Formosa Plastics were enough. ”
Wang Keling said viciously: "You want to destroy the Haicang plan." ”
Su Cheng said in a relaxed tone: "Dahua Industry is just a company, so let's talk about destroying it." ”
Seeing that Director Mao didn't stop him, Wang Keling said angrily: "What good is it for you to do this?"
"Being environmentally friendly is good for everyone. Su Cheng looked at General Manager Xuan again and said with a smile: "Did you say yes?"
General Manager Xuan exhaled through his nose, but did not speak. Large state-owned enterprises have always done better environmental protection than private small enterprises, but if they want to survive the evaluation of international environmental organizations, he does not have this confidence.
In many cases, state-owned enterprises are not afraid of money and are not stingy with environmental spending, but due to their own limited technical strength, environmental protection standards are always unable to rise. Sinopec has had the temperature of the reactor not up to standard, so that the links that should not be polluted have been polluted. In the face of daily production tasks, most state-owned enterprises will not stop production because of environmental protection. Even the general manager is not good at rudely interfering with the production of subordinate factories......
Director Mao watched coldly. Suddenly found that it really made Sioux City find a way out.
If you want to compete in environmental protection, Sinopec and Formosa Plastics are not the opponents of Dahua Industrial. It's like comparing the innocence of a doctor with a student, no matter how many people a doctor has saved, there will always be times when he does something wrong, and it is often a life-or-death mistake. Although the student has not created any value, he has not made any mistakes......
Wang Keling, General Manager Xuan and others also understand this truth. But precisely because they understand. I was really depressed.
Especially Wang Keling, whether in or outside Formosa Plastics, he is held on top. He has ever been so unhappy.
If the strength is not good and he is defeated by a strong company such as BP, Wang Keling will endure it. However, Formosa Plastics is ten times the scale of Dahua Industrial, but he was dragged into the quagmire and could not get out.
He felt as if he was an elite figure with outstanding prestige, but he was stalked by tabloid reporters because of some trivial things that were not worth talking about.
Wang Keling really wanted to slap Su Cheng in the face, and then slap and slap again......
He closed his eyes and fantasized about the wonderful moment.
Then, I heard Su Cheng speak: "If it's nothing, I'm going back to prepare." ”
Director Mao announced the adjournment of the meeting in real time.
Wang Keling took the lead, as if a firecracker had been bolted to his buttocks. Rushed out of the conference hall.
After waiting for a long time, Wang Yongqing walked out of the Great Hall slowly. For him, it was a bit far from the hall to the parking lot.
Waiting for him to sit in, Wang Keling said impatiently: "What should we do?"
Wang Yongqing leaned back in his chair and exhaled often. "Do you know what he wants to do?"
Wang Keling was stunned for a moment and asked: "Isn't it just aimed at us? Dahua Industrial Group wants the Haicang plan, and everyone knows ......?"
Wang Yongqing shook his head slightly.
"Isn't it?"
"It's not that simple. Wang Yongqing said in a fluttering voice: "If you are the chairman of Dahua Group and want to get the Haicang plan, what should you do?"
"If I were the chairman of Dahua Group, I wouldn't be stupid enough to snatch such a big project from Formosa Plastics and a bunch of state-owned enterprises. Wang Keling is full of confidence in Formosa Plastics Group.
Wang Yongqing chuckled. Said: "But Su Cheng's method is indeed possible to get the Haicang plan......"
"How come? As long as we think about it, the Haicang plan must be our ......" Wang Keling looked up in surprise and said, "He thinks we will give up?"
"Even if government officials think we're going to give up and have a little hope, they'll follow suit. Sioux City is different. ”
"So...... He's not really targeting us?"
"Hmm. ”
"Then he's ...... I want to prove that I am better than other state-owned companies through us...... Wang Keling's self-confidence played a role, understood, and said: "Su Cheng has pulled us and him to the same level...... In that case, let's just ignore him......"
"The trouble is, we can't afford to leave a polluting reputation. Wang Yongqing said slowly: "You still have to continue to play with him." ”
Wang Keling will be skeptical.
The next morning, before Wang Keling could figure out how to deal with the matter, he saw several people waiting outside.
"Read the newspaper. A man with a big face threw him a stack of newspapers.
"Dahua Industrial has an excellent relationship with the media, alas......" Another guy from the brain door followed.
Wang Keling took a look at it, then froze his steps, and then opened them one by one.
At least five newspapers talked about environmental protection, and some mentioned Formosa Plastics by name. They actually used the "words" of the Taiwan media.
Wang Keling knows too much about the meanness of the media on the island, and he knows what the remaining half is talking about after reading half of it.
Wang Keling dropped the newspaper and said, "I'll go find their leaders." ”
"We've got to fight back first. ”
"Although Dahua Group is a private company, it must also listen to the ...... of the mainland government"
"It's not the government's business! Think about it, if the media on the island find out that we have acquiesced to the reputation of pollution, what will we do?"
Liuqing is the lifeblood of Formosa Plastics, which is much more important than the Haicang plan.
"We fought back. Wang Keling didn't hesitate anymore.
