When Sioux returned to the company, he did not immediately discuss the methanol plant or the Haicang plan, but announced a board meeting to discuss the relocation of the group.

As soon as the heads of the group's companies heard about it, they rushed here. After three years of development, there are many companies under Dahua Industrial, as well as foreign joint ventures, but the office conditions are getting worse and worse. In the early days, the Jinan Power Engine Factory still had the office building of decades ago to rely on, and the companies behind it either rented it or relied on the Jinan Power Engine Factory, and it was uncomfortable to live in.

Even Sioux City's own chairman's office is on the territory of Jinan Power Engine Factory. The current conference room is no exception.

Waited a day. In the afternoon of the next day, the domestic managers arrived, and the foreign companies were transferred by phone to listen to the intermittent broadcast.

The executives of 6 large companies and the group headquarters gathered together, and they actually filled a room, looking at the black and oppressive heads, Su Cheng was a little dizzy for a moment. People say that in the late 80s, in the early 90s, Chinese companies expanded rapidly, in 1987 the Sun God Group started with 50,000 yuan, and in 93 years sold health care products to 1.3 billion; in 84 years Jianlibao was a blockbuster that year, and in 91 years went to the United States to buy a floor of the Empire State Building...... Now it seems that such a thing has finally fallen on his head.

The long table in the conference room is still put together with a desk, without arc, and the stiff rectangle is placed in the center of the conference room, covered with red flannel and two bunches of plastic flowers, which looks a little classy.

Su Cheng sat at the head of the door, Chen Zunian, the director of the Jinan Power Engine Factory, and Xu Lichen, the head of the maritime transportation company, on the left. Opposite the two is Li Lianxiang, director of Dahua Laboratory, and next is Shiro Xu Haoqiang, the new head of Dahua Gas Company. Together with the Setan Oil & Gas Field Company, a total of five companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of Dahua Industrial Group and are also 100% Sioux City companies.

Due to the importance and particularity of the Setan Oilfield, on the one hand, Sioux City took matters into its own hands, and on the other hand, it poached Eli, a professional manager of the Continental Oil Company, as the general manager of the Setan Oilfield. He had too much work to make it back to China on time, so he made a phone call. Listen to the report.

From Goro and Shiro to below, they are Yan Xuecan, the liaison of Dahua Shipbuilding, Liu Pinshan and Shu Hao of Debang Water Heater Company.

Dahua Shipbuilding is a 50/50 joint venture with Haliburton, as well as the German company Fenuel and the Dutch Nucor company, which Haliburton helped acquire. In addition to retaining the design capabilities of offshore drilling platforms, Dahua Shipbuilding also has a series of patents for dynamic positioning, anti-leakage systems, and fire protection systems. It can be regarded as the most cost-effective golden egg hatched by Dahua Laboratory since the chicken laid eggs. The researchers who study drilling platforms and other related technologies are all from domestic colleges and universities, as well as various research institutes and research institutes under PetroChina. Even now. In addition to the researchers of two foreign companies, there are very few researchers who belong entirely to it. Although there is no "establishment", there are not many drilling platforms made by Dahua Shipbuilding in cooperation with COSCO Shipping.

In Sioux City's considerations. Dahua Shipbuilding is a transitional company that will either sell its shares to a Chinese company such as COSCO Shipping or reacquire Haliburton's shares for privatization. It all depends on its own development. Offshore engineering equipment is a highly professional and attaches great importance to accumulation. Even after a national battle, Dahua Shipbuilding only had the ability to design its own offshore drilling platform and manufacture some key equipment after annexing Fenor Shipbuilding and Nucor, and requisitioning hundreds of people from Haliburton. Sioux City estimates that without three or five years, ten or eight years, it will be difficult for Dahua Shipbuilding to directly obtain profits.

Compared to the companies above. Debang Water Heater Company is much less dependent, it is not a member of the Dahua Industrial Group, and Sioux City only owns 30% of Debang's shares, and does not participate in the operation. It was only because of the relationship between Shu Hao and Su Cheng, as well as the possible industry status of the new Dahua Gas Company in the future, that Liu Pinshan attended the meeting. Under the Debang Water Heater Company, there is also a Sichuan Changzheng factory that makes fans and air conditioners. Its director was not invited at all.

Further down from the heads of the seven companies, there are Gu Haijian of the Offshore Oil Research Institute affiliated to Dahua Laboratory, Yao Zefan of the Third Oil Production Institute of Dahua Laboratory, Li Lin who belongs to the public relations department of the group, Zhong Zhigen and Zhang Chao of the strategic public relations department. and Xu Feng, the fourth sister of Sioux City's financial assistant.

This is a typical Chinese-style conglomerate structure, with three of the seven companies headed by Sioux City family members. Although the headquarters has a special person to take care of the finances, it is also necessary to put relatives to feel at ease.

In fact, this is also the only way for Chinese companies to go. It was only in 1997 that China's Criminal Law was amended to abolish the crime of "speculation", and in 2008, the Interim Regulations on Administrative Penalties for Speculation and Reversal were abolished. In the late 80's and early 90's, the letter of the law had already been smashed by the rocks of the path, and the extravagant expectation of institutional protection was far less than the reliability of the family.

Even if there are unreliable family members, the chances of a crisis are much lower.

Coupled with the attendees and record-making personnel, there were more than 20 people sitting in the conference hall, and the crowded crowd made the room very lively, and with a handful of melon seeds, it was the New Year.

When everyone was ready, Su Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Let's start." ”

The crowd fell silent.

"There are two main things today, one is the relocation of the group. This matter can be said in two sentences, so I'll talk about it first. Su Cheng saw that everyone was staring at him seriously, and he sighed at the desire of the Chinese people to buy a house, and then thought about it, how could he not be like this.

He smiled and continued: "I have already bought three plots of land in Shanghai Haipu East in my personal name. The Lujiazui plot is the smallest and most core, about 60 or 70 acres, which is used to build a headquarters building for the use of the group and the Setan Oil and Gas Field Company. There are 2,300 acres of land along the Huangpu River, which is used to build office buildings and laboratory buildings for Dahua Laboratory. The power engine factory, the maritime transportation company and Dahua Shipbuilding will not relocate, and the Dahua Gas Company will continue to flow, except for some liaison departments to stay in the group, where the gas pipeline is laid, you will move. ”

Shiro let out a "hey", causing a soft laugh.

Li Lin was the most jealous of formal occasions, and said with a smile: "Su Dong, you said that there are 3 plots, and there is the largest one?"

"If the methanol project in Haicang can't be determined, it will be moved to Pudong. Otherwise. Use it for other purposes. ”

"Why can't you be sure?"

"For example, if the Haicang plan fails, there is a question as to whether our methanol project can be carried out. This was the first time that Su Cheng had said that the Haicang plan might fail, and everyone was surprised.

Li Lianxiang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Didn't you say that the state has invested 300 million US dollars? Moreover, Su Dong, you also said when you came back, the mechanized engineering troops have all gone up, how can this still fail?"

Shiro Xu Haoqiang also said in disbelief: "If this fails, will you still have it?"

Only Zhong Zhigen thought thoughtfully. He studied concurrent engineering at school. After being dug up by Sioux City to Dahua Industrial. It is still enterprise management and advanced manufacturing technology, and is well aware of the risks in large petrochemical projects.

"With a $7 billion project, anything that goes wrong can end up at all. Sioux City didn't continue the discussion. Instead, he said: "This is the second problem I want to talk about, the company must integrate resources and practice internal skills." in order to resist external changes. As a result, the Group will shrink its investments, reduce its expenses and maintain sufficient cash. ”

In a word, he pulled everyone back. The integration of resources is related to the vital interests of everyone, how can you not care.

Su Cheng stiffened his face and said solemnly: "First of all, we must integrate the R&D department of Jinan Power Engine Factory into the Dahua Laboratory and set up a diesel engine research institute." The power plant retains only one technical section. As before, to reduce duplicate investments. ”

Chen Zunian said loudly: "Yes." ”

Sioux City had already communicated with him. As the first wholly-owned subsidiary of Dahua Industrial, the power engine factory has a special status, and once coexisted with the head office of the group, Chen Zunian simply agreed, which laid the foundation for integration.

"Jinan Power Engine Factory should reduce costs and eliminate waste. This year's target is a 10 per cent reduction in spending. And increase sales, improve quality, become the best manufacturing enterprise under Dahua Industrial. Su Cheng said this, and Chen Zunian looked embarrassed. For a power engine plant that produces 3,500 large and medium-sized diesel engines in half a year, 10% of the expenditure is very high. That's almost half the profit. This is still the case that Jichai, as the only surviving large and medium-sized diesel engine factory in China, has a very good market.

Sioux City is well aware of the situation. Without his explanation, he pointed to Zhang Chao and said: "The group's strategy department will send personnel to help power engine factories improve the supply chain, and also carry out in-depth integration of supporting manufacturers, so as to reduce procurement costs and improve yield as much as possible." Next, there is the maritime transport company ......"

Gorou looked up.

Su Cheng took out a piece of paper and said: "The maritime transportation company should maintain the market share of fishing boat leasing, increase the share of the ship sales market, and improve the company's profitability." After two years of fishing, fishermen should be able to afford fishing boats, right?"

Gorou smiled like a fisherman and said, "If you earn a lot, your family can have four or five hundred thousand." If you earn less, several families together can afford to buy a fishing boat. ”

Li Lin puffed up his chest and exclaimed: "Earn 500,000 yuan in 2 years? ”

"Fishermen go out to sea for seven or eight days at a time, they don't sleep well or eat well, they have to work at dawn, and they have to find ways to save themselves in the event of a storm. When I was lucky, I came back, and I had to divide the fish and sell the fish, repair the ship and repair the nets, and the whole body smelled of fish......"

"250,000 a year, fishy fish, fishy, I take a bath every day, spray perfume every day. Li Lin fell into a fantasy and couldn't extricate herself.

Su Cheng coughed and said, "Goro, stretch out your arm to her." ”

"Oh? Goro pulled up his sleeves.

I saw that my wrists were all dark and rough.

Su Cheng said slowly: "Fishermen float on the sea all year round, they don't have a tan, they don't have any skin creams, umbrellas and hats, and the sea salt falls on the skin, and it wrinkles when it gets sunned, and it doesn't take long for it to be rough like a shark......

"I can't go if I don't go. Li Lin's face turned pale.

The men let out all sorts of strange laughs.

After a while, Su Cheng also showed a smile on his face, and said again: "Goro, the maritime transportation company can sell small-tonnage fishing boats to fishermen at a discount, and half of the funds returned will be handed over to the group, and half will purchase ocean-going fishing boats, and continue to lease them." ”

Maritime transport companies have ties with many shipyards, and the ships they purchase mostly use the diesel engines of Jinan Power Engine Factory, which is not much for the group, but can drive the sales of upstream diesel engines.

Gorou replied and calculated: "In this case, we can hand over 30 million this year." ”

Before the mid-90s, it was a bumper harvest period for the fishing industry, and with the spread of mechanical nets, China's coastal fishery resources were depleted, and the income of fishermen gradually decreased. Dahua's marine transport company has the largest and most advanced fishing vessels, and there is a lot of success in fishing alone.

30 million yuan is a lot, not to mention the accumulated fixed assets. Su Cheng said with satisfaction: "Taking advantage of the fact that there are no restrictions in Southeast Asian countries, we should encourage fishermen to fish in the open ocean, and in addition, do you have to transport seafood to other countries to sell?"

"Earned $500,000 in foreign exchange, mainly in Japan. Gorou spoke with the flavor of a fishing tycoon.

Dahua Shipbuilding, Dahua Laboratories and Dahua Gas are still investing, and Sioux City has only reaffirmed financial discipline and demanded that unnecessary expenses be reduced.

After these subsidiaries finished speaking, Liu Pinshan couldn't sit still, laughed twice self-deprecatingly, and said: "Our Debang Water Heater Company has just acquired the Sichuan Long March Factory. This one...... Cash isn't too plentiful either...... If only ......"

Shu Hao didn't want him to spoil the thick soup of Debang's water heater for a while, so he stopped: "The shareholders of Debang are just the three of us, the air-conditioning production line has been put into production, what are you doing with the money and not dividends?"

"This ...... There must be an emergency, and there is ...... continue to expand" Liu Pinshan has the cunning of a small factory owner and the power of a small official, according to his thoughts, it is good to keep the money in the enterprise, and what to do when the dividends are out. However, his shares are very small, and seeing that Shu Hao wants to give dividends, he hurriedly changed his words: "Debang made a lot of money last year, but after investing in the Long March Factory, there is 61 million left, this Xiao Shu knows it......"

Su Cheng didn't let him finish, and said with a smile: "I didn't invest much money, but I came up with a few ideas and invited a few technical experts to make design drawings, so let's do it, I will withdraw my shares and ......."

"No, I can't. People want to scold me for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Shu Hao glanced at Liu Pinshan fiercely and said, "30% of the dividends, I will call tomorrow." In addition, the air conditioners produced by the Long March are selling well, and when the time comes, you will need money, less than 50 million, just give me a call."

Su Cheng didn't squirm either, and said "good" with a smile.

Shu Hao sat up straight with peace of mind, and glared at Liu Pinshan again.

Liu Pinshan lowered his head aggrievedly, and saw the exceptionally young Shiro and Goro in a blink of an eye, and suddenly realized, I can't wait to slap myself: People get a share of the family business, what am I mixing blindly!
