Chapter 247: The Curtain Rises
Xiamen Haicang.
Row after row of bulldozers, moving forward neatly at the same speed. Whenever they came across a soldier wearing a red armband, they would turn around where the red flag was pointing.
Viewed from above, the hundreds of meters wide bulldozer fleet is like countless whips, plowing the wilderness, farmland and dwarf bushes into a leveling clearing. The successive concrete flattening machines, loaded with sufficient concrete, move slowly under the friction of high-frequency vibratory rods.
In the truck that slowly followed, there were electricians and plumbers going up and down. They borrowed small cranes to erect poles and sink cement pipes and water pipes into roadside ditches.
A planned road, straight ahead, until a small hill, suddenly turned and disappeared into the misty mountains.
Chapter 247 The mountain built at the beginning of the curtain is always dark green, like bottomless water. The mist seems to be green, converging into waves, churning, rolling and turning back in the mountains, in the valleys, on the top of the mountains......
With a "boom", the earth, rock, mud and sand mixed with broken wood rushed into the sky, knocking away the white and tumbling mist with pale green waves, and only then could you see the true face of the mountains below.
But it was only a few minutes, and after a while, the mountains fell silent again, waiting for the next explosion. It's like a mountain that needs to be turned over.
Wang Sheng and Su Cheng stood on a small hill and looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. At their feet was the headquarters of the makeshift board house, and the small courtyard was full of people. Short and powerful shouts such as "report," "yes," and "understand" were heard endlessly, as if in wartime.
In the middle of the temporary board room, there is a long antenna, and there are two iron bars on both sides of the antenna, like an uncoordinated three hairs, tied with a rope, and a red cloth is hung in the middle, which reads "All of us are united, tenacious and hardworking, and a gift to the National Day!"
After watching it for an unknown amount of time, Wang Sheng wrapped his clothes tightly and said shockingly: "I heard that there are mechanized engineers, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”
Su Cheng also nodded silently. The scene of the beginning of the curtain in Chapter 247 here made him flood with a lot of memories, and the assembly-line-like construction of the project is not only a kind of strength and discipline, but also shows excellent competitiveness and efficiency. If the same project were in Taiwan or in the United States, I am afraid it would take several times or even dozens of times.
For profit-chasing enterprises, these disciplined forces are as if the gold dollar is rolling. Large-scale industrial production requires technology and management, as well as disciplined workers.
The 901 Project Headquarters sent a secretary to accompany Wang Sheng and Su Cheng to visit the Haicang "Special Economic Zone". When the time comes, there will be no problem with the entry of the main equipment. What you see now is the 400 acres of land planned for the methanol plant, and the roads and hydropower will soon be connected, and then there will be telephones, and then the special zone's own thermal power station will be ready, and then the electricity will be connected. ”
For a 100,000-ton methanol plant, 200 acres of land is more than enough. 400 acres of free land is a bit like a reward for Sioux City.
It's a silent conversation.
As the first and perhaps the only plant in the Special Economic Zone, the construction of the Dahua methanol plant means that the 901 project has entered the official construction period, and it is no longer a matter of waiting and waiting.
Historically, the Haicang Special Zone waited for nearly three years and was eventually abandoned after hope was extinguished. The people who have contributed and contributed during these three years have silently returned to their own regions and units, as if this incident had never happened again.
Looking back on history, Sioux City only feels that this is a regrettable thing. However, when he was in the midst of "history", he felt that Formosa Wang Yongqing was cruel.
Because at the same time that Formosa Plastics proposed the $7 billion "Haicang Plan", Wang Yongqing also tried to operate another similar plan: "Taiwan's sixth light oil cracking plant". Commonly known as the "Six Lights", the petrochemical base, except for its different name, has the same core as the Haicang Plan, which is a large ethylene project with an annual output of more than 450,000 tons. Formosa Plastics naturally does not have the ability to run two large industrial projects at the same time, and it is not so much that Wang Yongqing is hesitating, but that he is bidding on both sides.
He not only used the "Haicang Plan" to threaten Taiwan to approve the six light, but also used the six light to urge the mainland to make concessions. The meaning of one daughter and two marriages is quite clear. It's just that Formosa Plastics' dowry is really rich, and China can only turn a blind eye to it, and want to implement the Haicang plan.
In this process, compromise and compromise are the main tone. But in the end, Formosa Plastics Group still chose Taiwan's local six light projects, and the harsh administrative orders of ** and others also gave Formosa Plastics an excellent step, making the end of the Haicang plan helpless.
However, after three years of negotiations failed, Formosa Plastics was given the coveted "six light" construction rights. What the Chinese side has learned is only a lesson, and the tens of thousands of staff members who have paid for it are like dancing in a vacuum, leaving not even a single sound, and dedicating three years of youth in vain. Among these people, there are high-end talents who design construction machinery like assembly lines.
Su Cheng walked down the hill, stepped on the fresh concrete ground, and said secretly: This time, you can't do whatever you want.
Wang Sheng also adjusted his mood, followed behind Su Cheng step by step, and said with a smile: "The efficiency of the mainland is really unexpectedly fast. Su Dong's decision-making was fast, and the construction of the mechanized engineering corps was also fast. ”
"Taiwanese business owners, there is some surprise. "Sioux City is talking about the downstream manufacturers who follow Formosa Plastics. In the whole product line, Formosa Plastics is actually in the midstream, its upstream is Taiwan's "China" Petroleum, and the mainland's "China" Petroleum is the same nature, mainly crude oil business and petrochemical business, the production of gasoline diesel, and ethylene methanol and other chemical raw materials. Formosa Plastics purchases raw materials such as ethylene from CNPC to produce PVC powder and PVC pipes, and then hand them over to supporting downstream manufacturers to make products.
Haicang's plan is a little more than the "six light" investment, which lies in the cooperation and relocation of Taiwan's downstream manufacturers. Therefore, where and when Formosa Plastics will build a factory has a great impact on them.
Wang Sheng didn't need to hide it, and said as if chatting: "It's not a matter of one or two days for Formosa Plastics to brew a petrochemical base, everyone knows it." However, the Haicang plan and the addition of Dahua Industry were only known not long ago, and it can be said that before Dahua was familiar, Su Dong operated a 100,000-ton methanol plant with great fanfare, which was indeed unexpected. ”
"Did anyone call me stunned?" said Su Cheng with a smile.
Wang Sheng also smiled and said: "We Taiwanese don't say that we are stunned. ”
"That's a fool or something. ”
"Su Dong's self-humility is too special. Su Dong chose to build a methanol plant immediately, although it is confusing, but from the perspective of Dahua Industry, it seems to be normal. Dahua Industry often does extraordinary things. ”
"Is this Chairman Wang's evaluation?" Su Cheng looked at playfully.
Wang Sheng was embarrassed by the blazing gaze, and said far-fetchedly: "Wang Dong has lived in the United States for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the specific work here. ”
I don't even believe what he says. The Haicang Special Economic Zone was approved by Deng Gong in accordance with Wang Yongqing's request for the construction of the petrochemical base of the Haicang Plan, which is a very important item among the 11 articles proposed by Formosa Plastics. If there is no acquiescence from Wang Yongqing, how can he give up 400 acres to Dahua Industrial for nothing.
Su Cheng did not expose him, but said: "Dahua Industry is more interested in upstream factories, and methanol plants are our established strategy." Actually, if it weren't for Formosa Plastics' Haicang plan, I would have wanted to make ethylene. ”
"The cost of the big ethylene project is very powerful. Su Dong joked. ”
"I signed a contract for 1,800 tons of liquefied natural gas, and I dreamed of getting some projects to consume, so I didn't want to build a petrochemical base in Shanxi before? The 500,000-ton methanol project was lost in the Planning Commission. Today's methanol project is only 100,000 tons, although it is a new equipment, but there is not much financial pressure, hard work, maybe another 180,000 tons of ethylene?"
Wang Sheng was silent. Formosa Plastics has a characteristic, or the head of Formosa Plastics has a characteristic, is that he likes to do his own business and master sole proprietorship. This is related to the difficulties that Wang Yongqing encountered in the initial business. Therefore, the Haicang plan can accommodate one methanol project, but it is impossible to accommodate another ethylene project, so he can't answer Sioux City's temptation at all.
Su Cheng just wanted Wang Sheng to pass the words back, so he smiled moderately: "Actually, I'll just say it." Now that Formosa Plastics' Haicang plan is in front of it, China has stopped approving new ethylene projects. I've heard that 11 or 14 small ethylene projects across the country have been suspended for the sake of Formosa Plastics' Haicang plan, right?"
"The mainland's sincerity is very strong. Wang Sheng didn't know history, so he couldn't figure out Su Cheng's thinking, so he could only keep it in his heart and walk silently.
Also walking silently is the sturdy secretary Li Xiaodong. Although he couldn't speak, his eyebrows fluttered when he listened, richer than Su Cheng and Wang Sheng's expressions combined.
After the reception task was over, Li Xiaodong couldn't wait to return to the simple mobile board room, spread out a piece of stationery, and began to memorize the conversation between Su Cheng and Wang Sheng.
After finishing the solid regular script, the writing was dense, and after it was finished, Li Xiaodong read it again, slightly modified, and added parentheses and explanations to some uncertain places.
After making sure that it was correct, Li Xiaodong copied it again, and added a few words of his own judgment before stuffing the thin three pieces of paper into the envelope, carefully sealing it, and sending it to the headquarters.
When Wang Sheng returned to the hotel, he didn't rest immediately, but lay on the bed and thought for a while, thinking of the moon and the middle of the sky, before he picked up the phone and said, "Book me a ticket to New York, the United States, and the transfer is OK, the sooner the better." ”
