Wang Sheng had a good relationship with Su Cheng, so he had to undertake the task of signing the contract and invited Su Cheng to the newly opened * coffee hall in Haicang.

*The café is called "Coastal People's House" with a large sofa and a small coffee table, and there are neatly dressed beautiful girls and beautiful boys, the latter is especially rare, attracting many ladies to gather in groups. In addition to the Chinese people who are greedy for freshness, foreigners who come and go to Haicang are also a major source of customers for the *Coffee Hall. Looking at the smile on the female boss's face, she knew that the appearance of these foreign friends was definitely beyond her expectations.

Due to the existence of foreign guests, the "coastal people" have some fame, and are known as the most Italian "China" * Brown Hall, and the degree of winning is not inferior to the methanol project of Dahua Petrochemical Company, but the number is different, such as buying a lottery ticket, and buying a box of lottery tickets for two people. Because of the shortage of these two things, Chapter 260, the local officials in Haicang often used them to promote feng shui in attracting investment, but they attracted a burst of approval.

Factories and stores, which have a cycle of one or two years, find that the market is in short supply, and the price of products begins to rise...... It's not what Feng Shui is.

Taiwanese businessmen have always believed in feng shui, and Wang Sheng invited Su Cheng to the *coffee hall, and told this story with a smile. After the story was finished, the atmosphere was lively, and Wang Sheng said abruptly: "Su Dong, I came to beg you today." ”

"Look at what you say. Su Cheng hurriedly sat up straight and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang, if it weren't for Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang, it would be two things to say whether the Setan Oilfield could be managed." After that, the natural gas underwriting contract, thanks to your help, was not breached. Why bother with this word. ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Really. ”

Wang Sheng looked at Su Cheng's straight nose and said incomprehensibly: "Formosa Plastics wants to contract the methanol of Dahua Petrochemical Company." ”

"All-inclusive?"

"Yes. 120,000 tonnes all-inclusive, if possible, we hope to have a 10-year contract, and we can renegotiate the price once or twice in between. "Wang Sheng has no intention of taking advantage of Dahua, this contract is extremely favorable. For Dahua Petrochemical, if the product is marketable, it can concentrate on increasing production in Chapter 260, and reduce the cost of sales, maintenance, warehousing, transportation and so on. The total income is only raised.

Su Cheng was surprised for a moment, but said: "Formosa Plastics is short of raw materials so far, why don't you hurry up and implement the Haicang plan?"

Wang Sheng was extremely embarrassed and said: "It is still in the negotiation, and it is difficult to do it." ”

Formosa Plastics put forward 11 requirements that year, almost taking advantage of it. For the sake of $7 billion, the mainland side actively participated in the negotiations, but no decision was made. This is not only a matter of conditions, but also related to the mentality of the parties.

On the day of the construction of the methanol project in Sioux City, Wang Sheng said that he would "build alone" the Haicang Petrochemical Base. Therefore, Wang Sheng went to the United States in person to explain the situation to the bigwig Wang Yongqing.

However, Wang Yongqing, who has been in business for 50 years, has an extremely tough personality and has the best quality of a businessman in China: he strives to provide high-quality and inexpensive goods. His Formosa Plastics has never prided itself on selling high-priced products, and even when international prices are rising, they try to provide low-cost raw materials to downstream manufacturers. In order to do this, when he makes plans, he often focuses on good quality and low price.

In 1990, China was besieged and intercepted by the Western world. Formosa Plastics' $7 billion is not only a large investment, but also has unimaginable political implications. Wang Yongqing waited for the price to sell, and naturally got the best contract, and he did not hesitate to waste two years of time for this.

His thoughts are also clear to China. As a result, Wang Yongqing sacrificed the six-light plan to invest billions of dollars in Taiwan, showing that he is not the only way to go.

As a result, the negotiations between the two sides continued again. The situation has always been in Formosa Plastics' favor, but it has been a long one.

The interference of Sioux City is at most a turbid current in the eyes of Formosa Plastics, which has been affected for a period of time, and will eventually be relieved. Especially at the beginning of this month, Wang Yongqing met ** and others who were still legislators in the United States, and although they did not express their position, the ambiguity became even heavier.

Wang Yongqing is an official in one hand and a businessman in the other, sitting in the United States, which is trying to use the Formosa Plastics Group, which has assets of tens of billions of dollars, to mobilize governments on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in order to maximize profits. Not to mention anything else, this courage alone is something that few people can match.

But the more this happens, the more stubborn he becomes.

However, Wang Sheng has been in the mainland for a long time, and he agrees with Su Cheng's point of view. Instead of talking at length, it's better to make small concessions and buy time.

However, in the Haicang plan, Su Cheng and Wang Sheng basically have no direct right to speak, and they can only stop there.

As a catfish striving for the top, seeing that Formosa Plastics was affected by the limited, Su Cheng sighed regretfully, still kept a smile on the surface, and said: "You can also use the 120,000 tons of methanol, but there are two requirements. The first is to pay in dollars, and the second is to use the highest price in two years as the selling price of raw materials in 10 years. If you agree, 120,000 tons of methanol will be given to you. ”

Wang Shengji, a shrewd person, immediately asked: "Do you think that the increase in methanol prices is a short- and medium-term behavior, and it will reach the highest point in two years?"

Sioux City didn't deny it, nodding yes.

The price judgment of bulk commodities has a hundred opinions from a hundred people. Wang Sheng would not affect his judgment because of this, and immediately said: "I will go back and report." Anyway, whether it succeeds or not, thank you Su Dong. ”

The implication is that Su Cheng has returned the previous favor. This is also a deposit under Wang Sheng, and in the end, if Formosa Plastics agrees to this plan, Su Cheng will be embarrassed to shirk it again, otherwise he will pay two favors.

According to Wang Sheng's conjecture, it is very likely that the Formosa Plastics headquarters will promise the plan. Although the price of methanol is rising, the consumption has increased a lot, and Haicang is close to the factory in Taiwan, so the geographical location will only be better in the future. The highest price of a 10-year long contract is in these two years, doesn't it mean that the price of methanol will fall for 8 consecutive years? Wang Sheng does not believe this.

Little did he know that the peak in methanol prices had not only occurred in the last two years, but had lasted more than a decade later. Although Sioux City can't remember the specific time, the span of two years is still clear. This underwriting contract is more advantageous than signing the contract separately, and both of them are more happy.

Sioux City was in a good mood and asked for some snacks and was going to settle lunch by the way.

Wang Sheng said strangely: "Su Dong, there are so many companies in front of Dahua Petrochemical, do you really give up all of them?"

There are not a few supporting factories that are completely dependent on a certain factory. But in Wang Sheng's view, with a character like Su Cheng, how would he be willing to make a supporting factory for Formosa Plastics.

Sure enough, Su Cheng smiled and said, "Don't hide it, Dahua will expand its investment in methanol projects." ”

"How much?"

"500,000 tons. ”

Wang Sheng was taken aback and hurriedly said, "How many years will it be put into production?"

Formosa Plastics also has a big project in Taiwan, called the Six Light Plan, which is also made of large ethylene, 450,000 tons. Although the nature is different, the scale of 500,000 tons of methanol can be launched accordingly.

Su Cheng said calmly: "I originally wanted to build a petrochemical base in the west of Shandong, and all the equipment I bought was second-hand equipment, but now the conditions in Haicang are better, and it is just all shipped back." ”

Formosa Plastics' demand for ethylene is almost limitless. The few products they run are all made of ethylene, and they can eat 1 million tons or even 2 million tons. He didn't have such a good appetite for methanol, Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment, and smiled cautiously: "Su Dong always has a big hand." ”

"It's all forced. Su Cheng laughed twice and said, "If Formosa Plastics is put into production in Haicang, I may slow down the progress of the project, but you have no news." As a result, I had to make additional investments to spread out the costs. ”

"Indeed!" Wang Sheng sighed. The large chemical industry is harsh on transportation conditions, and if a petrochemical base is built, there is naturally no problem with transportation. Otherwise, we can only continue to expand the scale to reduce the cost.

Sioux City took a sip of *coffee, slowly turned his head to look at the *coffee hall.

The image of the busy clerk is quite good, and he will bend over and bow for a while, which is very interesting. Su Cheng looked at the price on the left and thought: In 1990, huā 25 yuan to see beautiful women was indeed a little more expensive.

When I think of this, *the brown suddenly becomes much sweeter.

If it's not an off-the-counter factor, it's only the deliciousness of the coffee itself.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Su Cheng's mood calmed down, put down the cup, and said: "100,000 tons of methanol, we accelerated the implementation of it two months ago, and it is estimated that it will soon appear in the factory." The plant is much older than Casari's 120,000-ton new plant, and is easier to use, and is expected to be ready for production in just six months. As a result, by April 1991, we had 200,000 tons of methanol production. Because we have signed a 100% export contract with Haicang Special Economic Zone, we cannot supply raw materials to domestic manufacturers, so it is very likely that we will select some potential downstream manufacturers and concentrate on supply. ”

"Yes. ”

"At that time, some Taiwanese companies are expected to be one of our customers. Because Formosa Plastics has a very high status in Taiwan's petrochemical field, I will explain it in advance so as not to have any misunderstandings. ”

Although Wang Sheng was a little puzzled, he didn't understand the doubts, but said with a smile: "This is a good thing." Now that methanol is in such a short supply, it is very important for Dahua to provide raw materials. By the way, which ones were so lucky to be chosen by you. ”

"Taihe, Awang. ”

"These are two medium-sized and large companies. ”

"Yes, Taihe produces pesticides, and Awang produces dyes, and the operating rate is very high, so stable raw materials are needed. ”

"They are very patient, they can wait for half a year, and in the last six months, you can't supply them with Formosa Plastics raw materials. Wang Sheng said half-jokingly.

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "They are not short of raw materials now, and they are prepared for the new factory." ”

"Where's the new factory?"

"Let's prepare to build it in the Haicang Special Zone. ”
