Chapter 240: The First Step
"Grandpa Su, since Uncle Su brought me to you, you have always taken good care of me like a grandfather. So, in the face of you, I have nothing to hide. However, to the outside world, I will not admit that I have made so much money in the futures market, and some of this money will be in the name of Hong Kong capital, and some will be in the name of foreign capital, and it will enter China in batches and in several years. Fang Mingyuan changed the topic.
Su Huandong nodded, it was still necessary for Fang Mingyuan to do this. If a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions suddenly appears in China, it is really unimaginable to have an impact on the national spirit. It is also a problem for national propaganda. Although the state has put forward the slogan of letting some people get rich first and then drive others, Fang Mingyuan's net worth is too rich, which will inevitably cause many people's negative psychology. Fang Mingyuan could see this clearly, which showed that he had not been carried away by this money.
As for the country there...... Su Huandong smiled mockingly, I'm afraid that someone noticed Fang Mingyuan's recent actions, and they wouldn't have thought that he would make so much money, right? Ten billion dollars! If he hadn't believed that Fang Mingyuan couldn't have deceived himself in this kind of thing, otherwise he would definitely think that he was crazy about money!
"Officially in my name, it will be about five or six billion US dollars, so I hope that the state can give me the business scope of those state-owned petrochemical enterprises in addition to domestic exploration and oil exploitation!" Fang Mingyuan's voice was not loud, but it fell on Su Huandong's ears, but it was like thunder. This kid actually wants to give a leg up in the petrochemical industry!
"Mingyuan, you have to think clearly, the petrochemical industry is a key industry of the country, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, how can the country open up to private enterprises? Maybe the leaders will agree to give you a special case, but have you thought about the possible cost? Su Huandong asked.
"Grandpa, I've thought about it. The leaders, in order not to break their promises, are likely to agree to me. But after agreeing to me, it is very likely that I will think that I am pampered and arrogant, and I don't know the general situation, so as to leave a bad impression on me, and if there is any trouble in the future, it will be difficult to talk about it again. Fang Mingyuan replied calmly. Su Huandong's worries, he has already thought about them very clearly.
"And you're going to hold on?" Su Huandong asked in surprise. Since Fang Mingyuan knows the drawbacks so well, weishenme still has to jump into it?
"What the state is worried about is that private capital is too profit-oriented, which undermines economic development and affects social stability. But what worries me is that if only the state monopoly capital exists in the petrochemical industry, then the pricing power is completely in their hands, and now China is still an oil exporter, so the harm caused by this is not obvious. But once China becomes an oil importer, at that time, the negative impact of state-owned enterprises on the market is sluggish, inefficient, and bullying customers, and the damage to the country's economic development is even greater! Since the country's oil extraction, import, refining, and sales, the whole process is all in the hands of state-owned enterprises, and there is no fear that anyone will compete with them, and the Chinese people have nowhere to go except to buy oil from them. Fang Mingyuan sneered, "Such a company can only be a mouse carrying a gun--nest!" In the international market, it will only become a joke of other oil companies! How can we compete with them? “
Su Huandong Lou had a thoughtful look, he was not the kind of pedantic person, and he also realized that the rigid system was a constraint on the development of state-owned enterprises, and he understood the shortcomings of those state-owned enterprises that Fang Mingyuan said, otherwise, he would not know that there was a minefield ahead, and he still vigorously wanted to promote the reform of the railway system. In order to break through the bottleneck of the development of the railway system. Better provide high-quality services for the development of the national economy. So Fang Mingyuan's words, he could still listen to them.
"So, you want to be the catfish in sardines?" Su Huandong has also heard the story of the "catfish effect", and he already understands the ** point in his heart. State-owned enterprises that are complacent, complacent, and unenterprising, in some ways, are indeed like a company that likes to be quiet and pursues stability. The sardines who do not have a clear understanding of the dangers they face and are just blindly comfortable with their current lives. Fang Mingyuan hopes to establish his own private enterprises to contrast with state-owned enterprises in all aspects, so as to spur these state-owned enterprises to continuously improve their own capabilities.
"How can a pigsty give birth to a thousand horses, and it is difficult to raise a 10,000-year-old pine in a flower pot!" Fang Mingyuan smiled bitterly, "Wisdom is born in a hurry, and life is born after death, these words are all about the truth of being born in sorrow and dying in peace." It is precisely the participation of private enterprises that forms competition and contrast, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the growth and expansion of those state-owned enterprises in our country. Of course, Grandpa Su, I don't deny it, I think the future of the petrochemical industry in China is bright, with extremely broad development prospects. It should be able to bring good profits in the future. After all, I'm a businessman and I don't buy and sell at a loss. Fang Mingyuan was very frank.
"Mingyuan, you don't have the ability to explore and exploit, where does your crude oil come from?" These petrochemical companies in China all have their own state-owned oil fields, and it is not easy for Fang Mingyuan to obtain crude oil from them.
"It's not a problem, I will go to the shijie crude oil market to buy it, and I won't fight with them for a drop of oil from China!" Fang Mingyuan said confidently, "And I can promise that in the first few years, all refined oil products will be exported to overseas countries." It will not enter the domestic market without the permission of the state. ”
Su Huandong pondered for a moment, if this was the case, he felt that it was somewhat similar to some processing enterprises with supplied materials that had appeared in the south. It's just that it is produced in China, and the procurement of raw materials and the sales of finished products are not in China, so the impact on the domestic market can be ignored. However, it is of great benefit to stimulating the national economy. A large-scale petrochemical enterprise can absorb a large number of laborers, and related industries can also absorb a group of laborers, which can alleviate the problem of local employment difficulties. Moreover, when necessary, its refining capacity can also meet domestic demand, which is equivalent to one more domestic backup plant. However, it did not touch the interests of state-owned petrochemical enterprises. If this is calculated, it is still relatively likely to be approved by the leaders.
Fang Mingyuan's conditions cannot be said to be lucrative, not only did he not snatch a drop of domestic oil production with these state-owned petrochemical enterprises, nor did he sell refined oil in China, robbed the domestic market, and was able to help the country solve the problem of population employment, increase the GDP of the locality, and increase taxes. It can be said that it is very good for the country. In this way, even if someone is dissatisfied, they can't say anything. Moreover, this leader can be regarded as the end of a heart. In this way, it should not have any bad feelings towards Fang Mingyuan. Su Huandong secretly calculated in his heart.
"Mingyuan, are you so sure? This line of work will definitely make money in the future? Su Huandong couldn't help but ask.
"Grandpa, for state-owned enterprises, I don't dare to make such a guarantee, but for private enterprises, making money is certain, it's just that you make more and earn less." Fang Mingyuan thought very clearly, as long as he built this factory before the mid-nineties, and when Huaxia became a net importer of oil, he would be one step ahead and he would already be in an invincible position. And at that time, the Chinese government, which has repeatedly suffered from oil shortages, may come to beg to enter the domestic market. All he has to do now is to tear this iron curtain open a small hole, and naturally someone will come to completely tear the iron curtain apart in the future.
And as long as he can gain a foothold in this industry, it will not be so easy for the government to close this iron curtain again in the future. He is not one of those coal bosses in Shanxi, and when an administrative order is issued, he has to hand over the coal mine in his hand. Fang Mingyuan has extremely strong confidence in this.
Su Huandong stared at Fang Mingyuan's eyes for a long time, then nodded and said, "Okay!" I will convey your request to the leaders on your behalf. ”
Fang Mingyuan let out a sigh of relief, he said so much, wasn't he just waiting for this sentence.
Su Huandong looked at the briefcase in his hand again, and just took this opportunity to hand over Fang Mingyuan's paper proposal. This is a good excuse to ask for a meeting with the top leaders. As the Minister of Railways, he was not able to meet the Prime Minister and the Chairman casually.
"Mingyuan, do you want to borrow my name this time?" Su Huandong slapped the briefcase in his hand and said with a smile. In the previous few times, Fang Mingyuan borrowed the name of Su Huandong, and this time, he wanted to build a petrochemical enterprise in China, and if he still used Su Huandong's name, it seemed a little too much.
Fang Mingyuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Grandpa Su, could it be said that if I borrowed your name, the leaders wouldn't be able to see it?" "How can a person who can reach the pinnacle of a country's politics be a person who doesn't even know the inside story, it's just that everyone is pretending to be confused! Since the first few times have passed in such a daze, this time, I won't delve into it. Fang Mingyuan still wants to be sheltered in Su Huandong's shadow for a few more years, so let Su Huandong do this kind of limelight thing. I believe that in this way, with the improvement of Su Huandong's status in the eyes of the high-level, the pressure on the Ministry of Railways to implement reforms can also be much reduced.
Su Huandong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly: "It's really boring to have a grandson like you!" It's a lot less fun! ”
