If you evaluate the security threats in the 21st century, plasticizers must definitely be at the forefront, it is not only more toxic than melamine dozens of times, it still lasts for a long time, more than 30 years of use to create Taiwan's largest additive factory, but also "raised" a generation.

Exposing this matter 20 years in advance will definitely save many beautiful men.

As the details gradually came to light, the island of Taiwan fell into a panic. The media exclaimed the words "10 years of poisoning".

Since foreigners represented by Al Gore link environmental protection and food safety, it is natural for members of Taiwan's Legislative Yuan to regard environmental protection regulations as a shortcut to the south. As long as they put forward an environmental protection bill, it will first get great attention, and if it is not far from ten, it may be passed. Chapter 298 Invest First

Some proposals have been annexed, others have been annexed, and for political vultures, this is simply more appealing than carrion.

Formosa Plastics reluctantly got into trouble and, fueled by Sioux City, became the target of a new environmental and safety bill. First and foremost is their old factory. Formosa Plastics' earliest factory has been built for 30 years, according to Wang Yongqing's fishbone theory, their factory construction and maintenance are done to the minimum standards, safety and environmental protection margin is very small, can only be said to barely meet the indicators of the year, compared with the new indicators in the 90s are a little powerless, let alone the high indicators of the new law.

In contrast, the pressure on Dahua Industrial Group, which has built a new petrochemical base, is much less. Although they bought a lot of old equipment from around the 80s, Sioux City had already anticipated the new direction of environmental protection, replacing some parts in advance and modifying some designs.

Even with Formosa Plastics' covert push, the inspection team did not find a problem in Dahua Industrial.

Only then did everyone realize that in this environmental war. Dahua seems to have the upper hand. They discovered plasticizers. Their factories passed rigorous inspections, while Formosa Plastics was embroiled in environmental disputes.

For example, in Chapter 298, the first fruit should be said to be refutable for Formosa Plastics, that is, the inspection of Dahua Industrial "may not be strict" enough.

Stuck at this juncture. Dahua Industrial invited reporters and experts from home and abroad. Come and visit the methanol base.

At least 30 media and environmental delegations came to Haicang, at least half of them foreign. Their interests are in Dahua environmental groups, and the discovery of plasticizers is quite dramatic, which is most suitable for the media.

The methanol base, which has been under construction for more than a year, is full of green trees, and it feels good at first glance.

Journalists are like wolves searching for bones, clutching cameras and camcorders everywhere for the smell of pollution.

Jin Yanrou from CCTV did not move around, but stayed in the team, waiting for Su Cheng to have a vacancy, walked over and said with a familiar smile: "Su Dong, you don't think there are so many media." You're here to sing the praises of virtue, right?"

After Dahua Industrial succeeded in bidding for the Setan Oilfield, Jin Yanrou interviewed Sioux City. The two never met again. Compared with the CCTV beauties in Su Cheng's memory, Jin Yanrou, who has cut her short hair, looks more and more refreshing. There is also hidden sharpness and neatness.

The reason why it is hidden sharp and neat. It was because her tone was soft and reserved at this time.

Today's Sioux City is full of fighting spirit. But he smiled and said: "Isn't the media just singing praises of virtue? At least that's the case with the domestic media." ”

Jin Yanrou was shocked by his unscrupulous words, and said with a smile: "If I record your words, Dahua Industrial will not want to be praised for merit." ”

"It's called controlling the media, and it's not right. Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "You are so domineering, it is easy to be mistaken for a male reporter." ”

"It seems that you are ready to fight the media?" Jin Yanrou said, "If you can find traces of pollution at the parent company of Dahua Environmental Protection Organization, it seems to be the real big news." I think that's what people are here for. ”

Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Pollution is not the key. ”

Jin Yanrou couldn't help but take out a notebook and said, "Then what's the key?"

"Money and manpower invested in pollution. ”

Jin Yanrou's eyes lit up, and she stopped writing and asked: "The environmental protection investment of the methanol base is very high?"

"It's so high, it's not an exaggeration to say it's the best in the world. Su Cheng said, lifting his chin. His gaze swept over Jin Yanrou's towering chest and rested on a reporter fetching water in front of him. It was a reporter from Hong Kong or Taiwan, wearing a vest with many pockets, squatting on the ground to tie his shoes, and secretly collecting samples.

A staff member of Dahua came out and stopped him from making further moves, but did not confiscate the samples he had already collected.

Seeing this scene, Jin Yanrou thought for a moment and said, "Dahua seems to be really confident. ”

"I think you're trying to say that you can't do it. ”

Jin Yanrou smiled generously and said, "I'm a reporter, so I can't say that." However, Dahua is the world's largest investment in environmental protection.

"It is the world's No. 1 environmental protection investment in the methanol industry, I don't think there is any doubt. If you want to make public the information, my office director has it, and we have made a lot of preparations in order to build the current methanol base......"

"Is there any data to back it up?"

Su Cheng smiled, looked at Jin Yanrou's black eyes, and said, "You didn't ask the right question." ”

"What should I ask?"

"Why Dahua Petrochemical Company can achieve the world's first environmental protection investment in the methanol industry. ”

Jin Yanrou understood a little, clenched the pen in her hand, and asked, "Why?"

"Because no one expected the increase in the price of methanol, they used the current price to determine the cost of environmental protection, which naturally cannot be compared with me. Capitalists can't afford to buy equipment at a loss. Su Cheng laughed.

When he started working in the petrochemical industry to consume natural gas, he had two options. Gas head methanol or synthetic ammonia industry.

Ammonia synthesis is basically used in fertilizers. China's fertilizer companies are very profitable, and at one time had the ability to produce the richest man. But Sioux City chose methanol, not only because of the more competitive competition for synthetic ammonia, but also because he knew that methanol would rise dramatically in the early to mid-90s, and at its peak, the international price of methanol was double that of a normal year. Such an increase was rare for a basic industrial raw material, and Sioux City was able to remember it. When he went to school. People only talk about the methanol supply and demand imbalance in the 90s. But the methanol price itself is rarely discussed.

Only by being in the middle of the game can we understand the significance of doubling the price of methanol. That's not a 10% increase in profits. Under normal circumstances, the profit of industrial raw materials is 10% of the selling price. When the selling price itself doubles, the profit increases by a factor of 10.

At the beginning of the 21st century, several petrochemical companies were rampant because of their million-ton methanol production capacity. Their cash flow situation was once the envy of the banks. Afterwards. These companies could have had the power to launch a strong wave of mergers if they hadn't suffered significant losses in the methanol price crash of the late 90s. Many of the foundations of the century-old petrochemical group were laid in this situation.

Compared with the stable long-term income of synthetic ammonia, Sioux City, which knows history, naturally likes short-term windfall profits.

In order to avoid stopping production at the most critical moment, Sioux City has made higher requirements for equipment, not only in the production process, but also in environmental protection issues, so as not to encounter the most severe environmental protection in the 90s, when methanol was the most profitable.

Compared to exponential profits. Spending an extra 2% or 3% of your profit is nothing. Of course, it is very painful for ordinary methanol plants. Their profit margins are usually 3% to 10%, and adding 2% to the cost is absolutely deadly.

Jin Yanrou knows a lot about finance and economics. Lift your spirits. asked: "Su Dong thinks that methanol will rise, and it will increase significantly." Is it that Dahua is ready to enter methanol futures?"

Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Dahua is ready to use all the cash on the petrochemical base, there is no capital to speculate in the futures market, we are not a financial company." But yes, methanol will go up. ”

"You're not afraid of me telling me?"

"Say what?"

"Dahua Industrial believes that the methanol market is rising. ”

"We have invested in the construction of a methanol plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons, and of course, we think the methanol market is rising. ”

Jin Yanrou was stunned, shook her head and smiled: "You don't want to use me to stimulate the rise in methanol prices, right?

"Our management is excellent, the costs are low, and of course there is some profit. Sioux City paused for a moment and continued: "It should be put another way, we put all the profits generated by high-quality management into environmental protection, and the environmental value-added of $10 per ton is the first in the world, there is no doubt about it." I hope CCTV will report on it. Serious reporting. ”

"That needs to be confirmed. ”

"You'll see all the documents, the accounts, the accounting. Of course, the most important thing is the equipment and the environmental effect. ”

"That's why you let the reporter take the sample. ”

"No matter how you look for it, the environmental protection level of this petrochemical base is world-class, stronger than most petrochemical bases, stronger than all methanol bases. Sioux City thought to himself, a petrochemical base that doesn't seek short-term gains is, in a way, invulnerable. The two strongest measures of any country in the world against environmental threats, one is fines and criminal accountability, which are aimed at people. One is the shutdown, which is for the factory.

The Dahua methanol plant is designed and equipped with the latest design and equipment, with the most environmentally friendly management measures, as well as the over-cost investment. If it can't pass the appraisal, then the world's petrochemical industry will be in vain for 100 years. Institutions and individuals that have spent trillions of dollars in investment and hundreds of billions of dollars in research funding have all closed their doors.

Sioux City's smile was like that of a visitor feeding in a zoo. Although he smashed the tiger's head, he really didn't have the slightest worry.

Jin Yanrou looked at the reporters all over the ground, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you afraid that there will be reporters who pick bones in their eggs?"

"The mainstream media is somewhat cheeky. Su Cheng laughed twice, his tone was a little heavier, and said: "Dahua Industrial also has billions of dollars in assets, I think, any newspaper or TV station, if it wants to bully such a company, it must rely on it a little." ”

Jin Yanrou knew he was right. The independence of foreign media has always been questioned in the face of large companies, and the domestic media are as soft as noodles in the face of power.

No media outlet would attack a major company without evidence. When there is evidence, it is often necessary to think about it.

Jin Yanrou looked at Su Cheng's high-spirited expression, and suddenly felt that her calves and stomach trembled a little. She knew that it wasn't fear and worry, it was excitement and excitement. It's like when you learn about the results of the college entrance examination and see your name on the list of anchors.

Jin Yanrou's cheeks slowly flushed.
