Chapter 998: Rushing to Korea

The first phase of the oil processing project has formed a 100,000-ton oil processing capacity, and the second phase of the project will increase the production capacity to 300,000 tons, all of which are refined oils.

In addition, Dingfeng Group will also launch supporting special oil production lines, oil protein product projects, and oil fine chemical products projects, and the investment projects signed by the Malaysian Chinese business delegation, several projects are related to this, several investors and Dingfeng Group Group have always been partners, these projects have formed a simple but very core industrial chain synergy. In this industrial chain, Dingfeng Group's refined oil project is the core, and the refined oil of Dingfeng Group, including its by-products, can become raw materials for other projects, forming a mutual supply of products between upstream and downstream.

Although the scale of Malaysia's 100,000-ton oil refining project is not large compared with heavy chemical industry projects such as refining and shipbuilding, it is still a heavy project for Haizhou, especially the introduction of foreign capital.

"I didn't expect that the petroleum refining and chemical industry that had been planned for a long time has not yet seen the shadow, but has made a prototype of an oil industrial park, is this an unintentional insertion of willows and willows?" In the office of Xue Shaohua, secretary of the municipal party committee, Xue Shaohua said with a smile to Bao Feiyang, who was sitting opposite his desk.

Bao Feiyang held the teacup in both hands, and said with a relaxed expression: "What the secretary wants to say is that the latter sentence has the intention to plant flowers and flowers, right?"

"A little. Xue Shaohua smiled and said: "One refining project is enough to make a fundamental change in the economic pattern of our Haizhou region, and ten oil projects, although it can also make the economic development of Haizhou region, but Haizhou is still only Haizhou region." ”

Although Xue Shaohua's words are a little biased, there is also some truth in it, and the influence of heavy chemical industry projects is difficult to replace light industry projects.

As the leader of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, Xue Shaohua has always wanted to bring a heavy chemical industry project to the Haizhou area and realize the industrial upgrading of the Haizhou area.

Xue Shaohua's original focus was on petroleum refining projects, because he had worked in the former Ministry of Petroleum, and he had some old connections, but after the dissolution of the Ministry of Petroleum, these relationships were dispersed to relevant ministries and two barrels of oil, and they are still playing a role. It's just that building a new petroleum refining base is not a trivial matter, and the two barrels of oil of Huaxia Petroleum Corporation and Huaxia Petrochemical Corporation have their own refining and chemical bases, and there is no spare energy or hospital to invest in a new base. As for other capital intervention in the refining and chemical industry, there are still many restrictions on China's domestic policies.

In fact, it is simple to launch a refining and chemical project, and the key is to form upstream and downstream, achieve scale, and base, which is not as simple as a refining project and a set of refining and chemical equipment.

"In a few days, I plan to go to the central ministries and commissions of Yanjing again to see if I can fight for it again. Xue Shaohua said to Bao Feiyang: "A few days ago, I met Secretary Jian of Xucheng in the provincial capital, and talked to him about the cooperation between the two places to build a refining project, Secretary Jian also showed considerable interest, but for the Xucheng Refinery, they are relatively tight, there is no huge benefit, and it is probably impossible for the Xucheng area to spit out the Xucheng Refinery." ”

Bao Feiyang nodded, although the efficiency of Xucheng Oil Refining Company is not good, it is difficult to replace the output value of the company every year, the promotion of surrounding industries, and the employment of tens of thousands of employees. And Xucheng has an idea, which may not be a good thing for the Haizhou region, because Xucheng will see the Xucheng oil refining company more firmly, and even compete with the Haizhou region for the resources of the petroleum refining industry, although the conditions for the development of heavy chemical industry in Xucheng are not as good as those in Haizhou, but the industrial base is better than that in Haizhou.

Xue Shaohua originally wanted to take Bao Feiyang to Yanjing together, because he knew that if Bao Feiyang's relationship was used, it would not be worse than his Xue Shaohua's relationship in Beijing, but Bao Feiyang received a call from South Korea and was going to South Korea temporarily.

***************************************

Bao Feiyang rushed to South Korea, and when he saw Tu Xiaoming at the airport for the first time, Bao Feiyang was a little surprised to find that Tu Xiaoming had lost weight.

"How is Brother Ming, your body is okay, I didn't hear you say that you are not feeling well?" Bao Feiyang reached out and patted Tu Xiaoming's shoulder.

Tu Xiaoming smiled and gave Bao Feiyang a warm hug: "My body is very good, if you mean that I have lost weight, then I am not running around for your business?"

Bao Feiyang pushed Tu Xiaoming away, and looked up and down carefully: "No, the task I gave you is to invite more people to eat in South Korea, if you really work hard, how can you get thinner and thinner?"

"Yes, the more you eat, the thinner you get. Tu Xiaoming said with a bitter face: "Don't you know that people here in Korea eat kimchi as the main dish? Although I'm not saving you money, if you eat with those Koreans, if you don't order kimchi and more meat, they won't be satisfied, and I can't eat alone?"

Seeing Tu Xiaoming's aggrieved appearance, Bao Feiyang couldn't help but think of some jokes in later generations, he smiled and said: "Okay, you go back with me this time, and when you go back, you will be invited to have a big meal, pork, beef and mutton, you can eat whatever you want, you can eat as much as you want." ”

After speaking, Bao Feiyang stretched out his hand to Xu Ruolin next to him: "Manager Xu, I have also worked hard for you, I thank you on behalf of the people of Haizhou." ”

Xu Ruolin stretched out her white little hand, and said with a faint smile on her face: "Mr. Bao is polite, if it is your personal thanks, I will feel even happier." ”

"Of course, I invite you to dinner tonight, and as far as we are concerned, you can open up and eat meat to show my gratitude. Bao Feiyang gently shook Xu Ruolin's little hand, quickly let go again, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if Manager Xu is satisfied with my gratitude like this?"

Xu Ruolin smiled: "If it was specifically to thank me, I would be even happier." ”

Xu Ruolin is a senior consultant at Fineland Information Consulting, which has business dealings with Korean companies, including South Korea's Shanshui Group. Xu Ruolin was originally responsible for the information consultation of the shipbuilding industry development project in Haizhou, as well as the planning of the project invested by South Korea's Shanshui Group in Haizhou, in order to better convince the South Korean Shanshui company, she also came to South Korea some time ago to fight side by side with Tu Xiaoming.

Tu Xiaoming and Xu Ruolin are no strangers, after all, the predecessor of Fangyuan Tianxia Information Consulting Company is the Information Department of Fangxia Ceramics Group, and Tu Xiaoming has also worked in this department for a period of time.

Previously, Haizhou Prefecture and City did not send people to South Korea, but Tu Xiaoming brought two assistants, plus Xu Ruolin and her assistant, and the five of them have been in South Korea for more than half a month. Xu Ruolin also found that things were not as simple as she imagined after arriving in South Korea, not that the project of the Korean Shanshui Company was very difficult, but that Tu Xiaoming's goal in South Korea was not only the Korean Shanshui Company, she had to follow Tu Xiaoming to contact with different Korean companies, including many different industries, and she couldn't figure out what Bao Feiyang was doing this for.

At dinner in the evening, Xu Ruolin also asked Bao Feiyang this question again.

Bao Feiyang thought for a while, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Manager Xu, I know that your Fangyuan Tianxia Information Consulting Company has always had its own views on the study of the world economic pattern, and the most distinctive feature of the Asian Economic Zone is the goose mode often mentioned by the Japanese. ”

"The Japanese advocate the geese movement model because they want to be the leader, but for the countries in the parade, the key to the geese is not to follow, but to surpass after following. At present, Singapore, Xingang and Taihu all have their own limitations. Singapore is too small, Xingang is not only small, but also has a very problematic political role under the management of the British, although it will change somewhat after the handover, but the freedom given to Xingang by one country, two systems will also cause separation from the mainland; Taihu has more problems. Therefore, in my opinion, Korea should be the best to learn from Japan. ”

"There are many advantages to South Korea's big conglomerate economy, and there is now a discussion in Japan about learning from this conglomerate model, which is strongly supported by the state. However, these models also have many drawbacks, such as a relatively high debt ratio, larger and larger companies, and not necessarily higher efficiency, and the size of South Korea's population is placed here, and the capacity of the market in such a large country is very limited after all. ”

"As soon as the external or internal economic situation changes, these problems will erupt, and for these large groups in South Korea, if there is a problem in one part, it is likely to affect the whole group and affect a large area. Just like the Dadong Shipyard acquired by South Korea's Shanshui Company this time, the operation of Dadong Shipyard is actually not bad, but because the parent company is in financial crisis, it has to keep surviving and seeking an acquirer. ”

Xu Ruolin glanced up at Bao Feiyang: "You don't want to look for such an opportunity, right? To be honest, after contacting Korean companies these days, my biggest feeling is that this country's national self-esteem is particularly strong, even if their company goes bankrupt, it will be sold to South Korean companies first, just like this Dadong shipyard, even if we can raise enough funds, Koreans will not consider our Huaxia enterprise acquisition." ”

Bao Feiyang smiled: "Yes, South Korea and Japan are feuding, but they are very similar in this regard, they are very supportive of their own enterprises, I just paid attention to it when I came from the airport, most of the cars on the street are Hyundai, Daewoo, Kia, Ssangyong and other Koreans' own cars, and our China is different, our domestic most are Volkswagen, Buick, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other foreign cars, everyone says that the quality of domestic things is not good- Of course, there are reasons for this, but compared to South Korea and Japan, we do not support our own brand products. ”

Xu Ruolin blinked: "This shouldn't have anything to do with you making us crazy about these Korean companies, right?"

"There is no direct relationship, but there is a little bit of a relationship. Bao Feiyang said: "Among these Korean enterprises, except for a few large enterprises such as Samsung, the internationalization process is relatively high, and there are many enterprises that rely on the support of the local people are not strong in the international competitiveness, and the local market in South Korea is relatively limited. They are not competitive in Europe, the United States and Japan, and the homogeneous competition in Southeast Asia is also relatively strong, and probably only the closest and very fond of foreign goods is the most suitable. ”

As a person who has come from the past, Bao Feiyang has a clear understanding of the economic difficulties that South Korea is currently suffering.

The financial crisis that broke out in 1997 caused great damage to the South Korean economy, and the exchange rate of the Korean currency against the US dollar fell from 892 won per dollar before the crisis to 1,695 won, a drop of nearly half, and the foreign exchange reserves were greatly reduced, so that the South Korean Government had to ask the International Monetary Fund for help and accept the conditions of the International Monetary Fund, and South Korea also became the first country in the OECD whose economy was taken over by the International Monetary Fund.

This has led to a series of profound impacts and changes, such as the fact that South Korea has had to amend the Banking Act to allow foreign financial institutions to have subsidiaries in South Korea to take equity in South Korean banks and enjoy the same rights as South Korean shareholders.

In the midst of the financial crisis, the stock market plummeted, a large number of enterprises went bankrupt, the unemployment rate soared from 2.6 percent to 6.96 percent, the inflation rate rose from 4.5 percent to 7.5 percent, and the economy fell into stagflation and faced the risk of collapse.

At that time, most Asian countries were facing the same predicament, but compared with other countries, South Korea's heavy chemical industry was more powerful, although the heavy chemical industry suffered a lot of losses in the crisis, but the foundation is still there; and after the depreciation of the Korean currency, although it caused a series of difficulties, but there is also a benefit, that is, to make South Korea's products more competitive in export prices, which has laid a good foundation for South Korea's heavy chemical industry and even economic recovery.

In addition, compared with the complex domestic situation in Southeast Asian countries, although South Korean society has also been traumatized and the life misery index has risen sharply, South Korea's ethnic unity and unity are also a strong guarantee for economic recovery. By contrast, Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, has been devastated by massive turmoil in the crisis. R1152
