Chapter 292: Flipping the Table
(.) When Mr. Xuan said that "pipelines are not allowed to be built", no one fought with him. ()
Su Cheng and Liu Bing faced President Xuan with a smile, looking harmless to humans and animals.
However, not being a bull does not mean that he wants to do what he wants. If the two don't speak, they don't promise, if Mr. Xuan turns around and leaves, they continue to do oil pipelines, and Sinopec has no temper at all.
Seeing that they had used yamen methods, Mr. Xuan simply asked Liu Bing: "Who made the decision?" ”
Hades is so good that the little ghost is difficult, he treats Su Cheng and Liu Bing as little ghosts.
Liu Bing replied as if he didn't have a trace of anger: "Mr. Wu agreed." ”
"Old Wu, why did he agree?" Mr. Xuan couldn't help frowning. Hades agreed, and the imp was even more difficult.
Liu Bing pretended not to understand and said, "There is no reason to disagree." ”
Mr. Xuan glanced at Su Cheng and knew that it was his work. At this time, Mr. Xuan felt a little difficult. He has never taken rootless private enterprises in his eyes, but he didn't expect that after taking a nap, Su Cheng actually did the work above, and it seemed to have a foundation.
He didn't say much, turned around and took out a big brother from the car, found a high place, and yelled at himself.
The brick big brother in 91 is still very easy to use in Beijing and Guangzhou, but it is difficult to receive a signal in the poor mountains and remote areas.
Su Cheng admired him. In such a remote place, with such backward equipment, to do such a difficult thing.
600 million yuan is 100 million US dollars, which can reshape the golden body of the Buddha in a temple, and a phone call can decide how many things.
Yang Ming, who was in front of him, was frightened by the identity of President Xuan. This is the principal leader of a central enterprise, and he said worriedly: "Su Dong, should we contact Mr. Wu, lest people regret it?"
"He's scaring us. It is good for PetroChina to do oil pipelines, and besides, our contract for the Haicang plan will only affect Sinopec, and it will also be beneficial to PetroChina, so Mr. Wu only needs to drag it down. Why go back. ”
Zhong Zhigen said with a smile: "This is called interest hedging. We are a weak company, and direct competition with strong companies is a stone. Find a way to make the interests of the two powerful companies conflict, so that we can survive. ”
Since the reorganization of the Dahua Group. Zhong Zhigen's strategic business unit has more power, and he can also improve the theory of concurrent engineering through the will of the group headquarters, which is a great promotion for Dahua Industrial and himself. The scale of the Haicang project exceeds the current total asset value of Dahua Industrial. If it continues, the final construction project will still require Zhong Zhigen's in-depth involvement.
Yang Ming understood a little, and said with a smile: "Interest hedging is to let Sinopec and PetroChina pinch each other, right?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "They can't pinch us, but they don't have time to pinch us." ”
In the Haicang plan, Dahua Industrial and PetroChina have a lot of common interests. In fact, in terms of the situation of their two dominances, as long as Dahua does not try to change the rules of the game, Sinopec's enemy is a friend of PetroChina, not to mention. Su Cheng is also a cadre from PetroChina. Today, he is also an independent director of PetroChina.
With such a layer of identity, although the actual power is not large, it can show that relatives are distant and close. It's a bit like a distant relative, and you can't usually count on it. But in the major event of weddings and funerals, it is not completely unhelpful.
Mr. Xuan took four or five minutes to call, and occasionally broke off once, and turned back in a very bad mood and asked Su Cheng: "How can Dahua be willing to give up the Haicang plan?"
Director Mao coughed twice and said, "Mr. Xuan, Dahua's participation in the Haicang Plan is good for the country. ”
For the sake of the face of the National Development and Reform Commission. Mr. Xuan changed his words and said, "What else does Dahua have planned?"
It's going to be a showdown. Su Cheng thought to himself, this is really direct. After thinking for a while, Su Cheng responded simply: "Sinopec and Dahua Industrial are jointly engaged in the Haicang plan, and Sinopec can have a 51% stake." ”
This is a huge concession. Su Cheng was reluctant to give up his controlling stake, but from a rational point of view, it was a loss to provoke Sinopec in 1991 and then become a petrochemical industry, and the Haicang plan really needed in-depth official involvement to continue.
However, Mr. Xuan categorically refused without thinking about it: "Impossible!"
Su Cheng was stunned.
Liu Bing gave him a "I said it earlier" expression. He had already told Su Cheng that no matter whether Sinopec made money or lost money, President Xuan would not sign the agreement of "losing power and humiliating the factory".
Mr. Xuan is essentially an official rather than a businessman, he is the general manager of a central enterprise today, and he may go to a ministry or local government to be a provincial official tomorrow. Therefore, his first consideration is always political issues.
Don't look at the local sale of state-owned enterprises in full swing, the central enterprises are still upright high-income units, and the merger with the top 500 foreign companies is to introduce technology and capital, and there are "use of foreign capital" and "market for technology" hats to wear, beautiful and comfortable, and can indeed learn a lot of experience.
What is a joint venture with a domestic private enterprise? Admitting that Sinopec is inferior to a domestic private enterprise? When such public opinion arises, President Xuan will no longer have to live.
Speaking of which, what was the guidance of public opinion before the frequent bankruptcy of local state-owned enterprises? That is, local state-owned enterprises were not as good as township enterprises. There are 100 central enterprises in the country, and if Mr. Xuan dares to prove on behalf of everyone that the central enterprises are not as good as private enterprises, he can drown the spitting stars.
Therefore, no matter what Su Cheng said, Mr. Xuan would not agree to the joint venture. Even if the center is pressed down, he has to resist until he is weak, and he will stretch his legs to do the pleasure.
Su Cheng had Liu Bing's guidance, and finally convinced President Xuan's attitude, and tried one last time: "So, what if Dahua Industrial gives up the oil refining project and only shares it with Sinopec on the ethylene project?"
This is another huge concession. It was a concession on the basis of the two programs of 1993 and 1995 previously mentioned by Sioux City.
However, Mr. Xuan still refused, he thought for a while, and said: "There is also a power station in the Haicang plan, as well as an ocean-going fleet, which I can let Dahua do." ”
The power station fell under the jurisdiction of the current Ministry of Energy, later the Power Group. The ocean-going fleet falls under the jurisdiction of another state-owned SOE. All of them are not inferior to Sinopec's strength. Formosa Plastics in the first OSS under the kind care, can break through the shackles of the domestic industry, Sinopec has neither the ambition to break the situation, nor the corresponding resources and manpower, so handed over to Sucheng, barely a little compensation.
But how can Sioux City have the strength to wage war with the three central enterprises? He built his own power station today, and Dahua Industrial will have to cut off power tomorrow.
Su Cheng smiled bitterly: "We want to be petrified. Not shipping and electricity. ”
"Petrochemical companies are easier to bully. Mr. Xuan smiled very shapely.
Ministerial-level officials in their fifties and sixties usually have only two faces, amiable or dignified. Mr. Xuan's current expression belongs to the treasured hidden killing machine.
So far. Programmes based on cooperation have all gone bankrupt. Su Cheng also changed to a hidden face, and said imposingly: "In this case, Dahua Industry can only go one way to the dark." President Xuan. Since the day it was established, Dahua Industrial has started endless competition. When I was in the Shengli Oilfield, I explored Chengdao, bid for oil fields abroad, and built a city gas system in China, none of which went smoothly. If you want to participate in the competition today, we welcome you. ”
Something that comes out of competition is powerful, especially when it's in the face of competition. Dahua's history has determined that its institution is suitable for competition, and if it does not adapt, it will naturally die. The ever-present problem for energy companies is competition. Mining in the United States is in competition with Congress, parliaments, labor unions, and the underworld, oil extraction in the Middle East is in competition with royalty, religion, bureaucracy, and foreign corporations, and in Africa is in competition with warlords, governments, tribes, the environment, disease, and foreign mercenaries.
None of them are purely political, violent or the role of capital, they are all mixed and complex.
all these years. Sinopec and PetroChina are also under pressure to go global. Mr. Xuan also has some understanding of the competitiveness of Dahua Industrial.
At this time, he replaced the comparison between himself and Sioux City with the comparison between Sinopec and Dahua, and suddenly found that his advantage was not great.
Zhou Lao and Su Lao seem to be in favor of Dahua's participation in the Haicang plan, and the opinions of the upper echelons are clear. If Sinopec overwhelms people with power. Dahua Industrial uses money to make a possibility, and the competition may be fierce.
Mr. Xuan didn't want a fierce battle.
What kind of good reputation can be given by the prosperity of central enterprises and private enterprises? Outsiders will only say that the general manager of the petrochemical industry is incompetent.
At this point, Mr. Xuan hated Formosa Plastics, you should do your six light things, come to Haicang to make waves, and then turn around and leave......
Hate for hate, he also thought of a solution, gritted his teeth and said: "If Dahua Industrial Group insists on not withdrawing, Sinopec may agree to Formosa Plastics' proposal to export to domestic sales." ”
Liu Bing's and Director Mao's faces changed.
The PVC powder and ethylene raw materials produced in Haicang are all within Sinopec's business scope, and PetroChina also produces some refined oil, but the main oil refining companies still belong to Sinopec. Therefore, when Wang Yongqing proposed Haicang's plan to export to domestic sales, the biggest obstacle was Sinopec.
Although the Haicang plan may be a cover, who knows if the feint will turn into the main attack? Under normal circumstances, Sinopec will not show its mouth to Formosa Plastics at all. If the above wants to continue the Haicang plan, they have to exchange the benefits to Sinopec.
The separation of powers in China is that of the central government, ministries and commissions, and local governments, and no one can just take and not give. In that case, isn't the country going to be chaotic?
In the middle of the Haicang plan, both the central and local governments unconditionally supported Formosa Plastics, and only Sinopec was the possible opposition.
President Xuan agreed that Formosa Plastics' exports would be transferred to domestic sales", then the biggest obstacle to the current negotiations would disappear.
It's going to flip the table, so that no one can eat.
"Dahua is now out, and the loss is not big. Otherwise, I'll make the right suggestion at the right time. "Mr. Xuan this time, it's not exactly to scare people. He does have the ability, and the urge to do it.
Instead of letting Dahua Industrial build the Haicang petrochemical base, it is naturally better to continue to hand it over to Formosa Plastics.
Director Mao coughed again and said, "Don't worry, everyone, think about it again." ”
At the same time, he motioned with his eyes to Su Cheng to give in.
Su Cheng's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mr. Xuan changed back to the amiable template, and said with a smile: "There is one thing that Su Dong said that I agree with, Sinopec and Dahua compete for the Haicang plan, not a win-win situation." But if Sinopec doesn't want the Haicang plan, Dahua will lose. If Dahua continues to invest like this, it is difficult to say whether it can recover its capital. ”
Su Cheng sighed secretly, the central enterprise has this ability. They can dominate the table to eat, and they can also lift the table so that the guests can't eat. After all, they are the sons of the restaurant owner, and unless the restaurant can't be opened, they can play with the table as much as they want.
Sucheng is confident that Formosa Plastics will not continue the Haicang plan, which is not only Formosa Plastics' own business, but also involves the Taiwan government. Agreeing to their 100 percent domestic sales may anger the Taiwan authorities.
However, Formosa Plastics is no longer doing the Haicang plan, where will the Haicang plan go?
Historically, this plan has been fruitless. Sinopec is not uncommon with the preferential policies of the Haicang plan. For them, they have a way to get any concession that the government can give. A free 150 square kilometre of land, interest-free bank loans, or the full cooperation of local governments, as well as the help of the army construction group, are nothing.
The only thing that can limit them is the stock of foreign exchange. In 91, China was no longer short of foreign exchange, but the hunger and thirst left over from the early years were still there, and banks had the urge and necessity to save foreign exchange. Sinopec has RMB, but it can't borrow US dollars from banks, so it can't buy foreign ethylene equipment, and this petrochemical base can't be built.
Therefore, with or without Dahua's participation, Sinopec has the urge to flip the table.
He may just be too lazy to wash the dishes.
But for Sioux City, once the table is really lifted. He will lose a lot of money in the early stage.
Mr. Xuan saw his hesitation, and said in a seductive tone: "There are many opportunities, why should Dahua hang himself on a tree with a crooked neck? Besides, haven't you already built a methanol base?"
"Without the Haicang plan, the methanol base will eat up a lot of profits just because of the transportation cost. Su Cheng replied.
Mr. Xuan said with a smile: "I can't help this, who made you too impulsive." It's too late to slow down. ”
"The methanol base has already been built, and there is no way to slow down. Su Cheng looked at Mr. Xuan.
Mr. Xuan won the coupon, and said with a fake smile: "What a pity." ”
Liu Bing was afraid that Su Cheng would say the wrong thing, so he grabbed him and said: "The methanol base is the methanol base, and the Haicang plan is the Haicang plan, don't talk about it." A little less profit is a little less. ”
Mr. Xuan stroked his palms and laughed: "It's still an old cadre, okay, as long as Dahua quietly gives up automatically, we take over the Haicang plan, which is also good for your methanol base, right?"
"At the speed of state-owned enterprises, it will not be easy for you to build Haicang in 10 years. The methanol base adds tens of millions of dollars in spending each year. Su Cheng seemed to have figured it out, and said forcefully again: "There are losses on the left and right, why don't you fight." ”
"Huh?"
"Dahua will not quit. Sioux City reiterates.
Mr. Xuan didn't expect that in this case, Su Cheng would insist.
He looked left and right, sighed, and pretended to say: "Su Dong is determined to do it, then I have to go back and report." Farewell!"
He greeted Director Mao and had no interest in staying.
When the others walked away, Liu Bing sighed and said, "Why bother. ”
Su Cheng said in a cold tone: "It's true that there are crooked neck trees all over the ground, but none of them don't need to be climbed." Haicang plans this tree, which is the most suitable for Dahua. ”
"What if he does Formosa Plastics?" Liu Bing's view is that if Sinopec has a tendency to help, Formosa Plastics will naturally continue the Haicang plan.
Su Cheng was not worried about Formosa Plastics, but he was worried about the cancellation of the Haicang plan, so he hurriedly shook his head and said: "If Formosa Plastics is willing to be helped, it will not be delayed until today, but we do have to prepare again." ”
