Chapter 943: Tripartite Joint Venture
"Comrade Bao Feiyang, now that the Standing Committee members are discussing your question, do you want to take your phone away first?" Chen Yuqing knocked on the table and said with a stern face.
Bao Feiyang ignored Chen Yuqing's frenzy, raised the mobile phone in his hand to Xue Shaohua and Chen Yuqing and said: "Secretary Xue, Mayor Chen, and all the leaders here, I want you to report a good news, Fangxia Ceramics Group has negotiated cooperation intentions with a company that intends to acquire a shipyard, and the other party will go to Haizhou for a field trip within a week." β
"Great, is there any more specific news?" Xue Shaohua immediately said loudly with joy.
"Not yet, Mr. Tu of Fangxia Ceramics Group is now with the negotiator, and it is inconvenient to call, but there should be more definite news coming back soon." Bao Feiyang looked at his phone and said.
Looking at the mobile phone shaking in front of her, Chen Yuqing's face turned dark, she just reprimanded Bao Feiyang not to look at the phone, and now it seems that it is simply a joke.
"Then we'll wait for the call to come." Xue Shaohua nodded, and his gaze swept over the faces of several Standing Committee members: "Okay, now I think everyone should have no doubts about Comrade Feiyang's words, foreign businessmen will come to our Haizhou City to inspect within a week, and the time is very tight, and in this short period of time, we must make preparations to increase some bargaining chips to persuade foreign businessmen to invest in Haizhou." Comrade Feiyang also mentioned to me in this regard, he is here today, I think it is better to let him talk about it himself, and then we will discuss what should be done. β
"Do you want to wait for the call to come and discuss it after knowing the specific situation?" Chen Yuqing said that even now, she still doesn't want to believe that Bao Feiyang's words are true.
As soon as Chen Yuqing's words fell, Bao Feiyang's mobile phone rang, and he picked it up and took a look. immediately said: "Secretary Xue, it's a call from South Korea, it should be from Tu Xiaoming Tu of Fangxia Paper Company." β
Now it was not only Chen Yuqing, but even Han Qiwen's face darkened.
"Answer the phone." Xue Shaohua said.
Bao Feiyang nodded, and hurriedly connected the phone: "Brother Ming, how is the situation?" β
"δΈqiΔι‘ΊlΓ¬. Shanshui company originally planned to invest in our country, after we communicated with them, they were very willing to cooperate, after all, to complete the acquisition of Dadong Shipbuilding, Shanshui Group needs to bear the financial pressure is very large, the bankruptcy of Dadong Shipbuilding itself is a lesson, now we have the intention of cooperation, Shanshui several sets of course willing us to join in, in order to reduce the cost of their investment in our country. Tu Xiaoming briefly introduced the situation on the phone.
Shanshui had planned to invest in China. However, they originally intended not Haizhou, nor could it be Haizhou, but Tongcheng, which has a relatively good shipbuilding industry base, especially Tongcheng, which is close to Shanghai, which is very beneficial to the new shipbuilding company to use the resources and industrial facilities of Shanghai, and is also conducive to the development of the market in Shanghai.
Bao Feiyang had expected this situation, so he asked Fangyuan Tianxia Consulting Company to make a special plan for this situation. In addition to Haizhou's determination to build a shipbuilding industry, the shipyard invested by Shanshui Company will be supported as a key project. It also asked Tucker Oil Company to come forward and reach a series of cooperation agreements with Shanshui Company, including giving priority to providing oil tanker orders to joint venture shipyards, and the two sides jointly investing in the construction of a joint venture company in Haizhou.
In order to acquire Dadong Shipyard, Shanshui Company has a very large financial pressure, although it is said that the construction of a shipyard in China can reduce costs, but the investment pressure is also relatively large. It is naturally best to have joint venture partners to share the financial pressure. Moreover, Shanshui also understands that Tucker Oil, as an emerging energy company headquartered in the United States, has developed very rapidly in recent years, especially now that Tucker Oil has smoothly entered the Chinese market, and is also familiar with China. So in every way, Tucker Oil is an ideal partner for Shanshui Group, which wants to build a new shipyard in mainland China.
After the initial contact between the two sides, the situation soon developed into a more urgent desire for Shanshui to cooperate with Tucker Oil, and Tu Xiaoming also won a lot of benefits for Tucker Oil. Shanshui's only concern is that they are not familiar with the software and hardware environment of Haizhou's investment, and they prefer to invest in the establishment of a new shipyard in Tongcheng.
However, this point is not a problem for Shanshui Company, because in addition to Haizhou's shipbuilding industry base is somewhat weak, in other aspects in fact, Haizhou's conditions are still very superior, excellent deep-water coastline, convenient railway transportation, important port cities in the coastal areas of China, Haizhou City is still aware of these situations. In addition, Tu Xiaoming, on behalf of Haizhou City, also assured the Shanshui Company that it would provide the most important condition for the joint venture company set up by the Shanshui Company and the Tucker Oil Company in the Haizhou area to operate in China, that is, from the full support of the government -- for this, the Shanshui Company, which has invested in two other types of industrial companies in mainland China, is also deeply aware of this, so the Shanshui Company has actually agreed to the condition of setting up a joint venture factory in the Haizhou area. Fangxia Ceramics Group and Tucker Oil Company have actually reached an agreement on the signing of the cooperation draft, but there will be more details to discuss in the formal signing.
In order to get the full support of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Bao Feiyang had reservations when introducing these situations to the Standing Committee, he said: "This time, Fangxia Ceramics Group and Tucker Oil Company have reached a cooperation agreement with South Korea's Shanshui Group, and Tucker Oil Company will complete the acquisition of Dadong Shipyard with Shanshui Group, because of South Korea's domestic policy restrictions, Tucker Oil Company does not hold many shares." In addition, they will invest in the construction of a new shipyard in Huaxia, in addition to a part of the shipbuilding capacity in the new shipyard, will also be the producer of most of the middleware of Dadong Shipyard in the new shipyard, in order to reduce the shipbuilding cost of Dadong Shipyard, this cooperation has basically been finalized, the only thing that has not been finalized is where the joint venture shipyard is finally located, at this point, the three parties have not yet reached an agreement. β
Fangxia Ceramics Group intends to set up a new joint venture shipyard in Haizhou City or Guangdong Province, while Tucker Oil Group hopes to set up a heart shipyard in Qindao Port on the coast of Qilu, because Tucker Oil Company has cooperation with the oil company in Yingcheng, and is participating in the development of offshore oil and gas resources there, and is familiar with the situation along the Qilu coast. Shanshui Group, on the other hand, hopes to be in Shanghai or Tongcheng, because they have invested in two companies in Shanghai before and are more familiar with the situation in Shanghai. Bao Feiyang said: "But one thing is certain, our Haizhou area is on the list of sites for the tripartite joint venture factory. And Shanshui Group, Tucker Oil Company and Fangxia Ceramics Group jointly formed a delegation will come to Haizhou City to visit the site in the near future, we must find a way to show our sincerity and advantages in Haizhou City, and persuade the tripartite inspection team. The investment project of this joint venture shipbuilding company will be left in the Haizhou area. β
It was only at this time that Chen Yuqing believed that Bao Feiyang was telling the truth, not making it up. Because of the fabricated lies, the details are far from being so true. What's more, it has been mentioned that the joint delegation of Shanshui Company, Tucker Oil Company and Fangxia Ceramics Group will come to Haizhou. As the director of the Management Committee of the Lingang Economic Development Zone, Bao Feiyang has the courage to lie with this at the Standing Committee.
She looked at Bao Feiyang with a serious expression, digesting the huge shock brought by Bao Feiyang's news. If Bao Feiyang really said that this tripartite joint venture shipyard project settles in Haizhou, it will be an investment of at least 30 million US dollars, which is definitely a shot in the arm for Haizhou, which has not been effective in attracting investment, and this project alone has reached one-third of the total agreement amount signed by the Jiangbei Provincial Investment Promotion Delegation during this Southeast Asian investment promotion trip. And in the final implementation of those agreements signed in Southeast Asia, in fact, there is still a discount, according to past experience, reaching one-third is already a very good result. Therefore, if the project of Bao Feiyang, a joint venture shipbuilding company worth more than 30 million US dollars, can be landed in Haizhou, it will definitely be a very dazzling political achievement.
In fact, how did Chen Yuqing know that the so-called investment of 30 million US dollars was just the original plan of Shanshui Company, in fact, after the participation of Fangxia Ceramics Group and Tucker Oil Company. The scale of investment in the joint venture shipyard will definitely be expanded, and it should reach the scale of 50 million US dollars. That is, four or five billion Chinese coins,
However, Chen Yuqing has another suspicion about Bao Feiyang in her heart, of course, she does not suspect that Bao Feiyang made something out of nothing and made up a landscape company, as she analyzed earlier, whether there is this Shanshui Group in South Korea and what is the strength of this company. It's easy to find out, unless Bao Feiyang is crazy, he would lie about such an easy to verify issue.
Chen Yuqing suspected that Bao Feiyang did not tell all the information he had mastered, for example, Fangxia Ceramics Group's involvement in this joint venture shipbuilding company project was to cooperate with Bao Feiyang's work, so this three-party joint venture shipbuilding company project would not be set up in Yuecheng at all. You can only choose to invest in Haizhou.
Chen Yuqing felt that Bao Feiyang's current statement was a bit exaggerated, and he may have deliberately explained the situation a little strictly, so that the city could cooperate with him in the reception of the tripartite inspection delegation.
Of course, according to Chen Yuqing's analysis, this tripartite joint venture shipbuilding project should still be led by the South Korean Shanshui company, and the tendency of Fangxia Ceramics Group will play an important role, but Haizhou does want to show its sincerity and show its own advantages to persuade the tripartite delegation to stay in Haizhou.
"Now that the situation is clear, representatives of Fangxia Ceramics Group, Tucker Oil Company and South Korea's Shanshui Group will come to Haizhou for inspection within a week." Xue Shaohua stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and said loudly: "Comrades, I don't think I need to say more about the importance of this matter, Fangxia Ceramics Group, Tucker Oil Company and South Korea Shanshui Group are all large companies, no matter which one comes to Haizhou to invest, it is an opportunity for Haizhou, and now they want to come, although it is for the same project, but if they can leave a good impression on the representatives of these three large companies, these three large companies will still invest in our Haizhou City if they have suitable projects in the future, so we must attach great importance to it. Our focus is not just on one project, but on three, if not more. β
Han Qiwen drooped his face expressionlessly, knowing that there was no room for him to object to this matter. Secretary Xue Shaohua wants to take advantage of this project to greatly elevate Bao Feiyang, so that no one will pay attention to such trivial matters as unfavorable results in Southeast Asia, and Secretary Xue Shaohua can also promote the focus of Lingang that he has always advocated.
Could it be that if you are criticized in the province, you will suffer in vain?
Han Qiwen glanced up at Mayor Chen Yuqing, and secretly thought that Mayor Chen Yuqing's proposition was different from Xue Shaohua's, and he might not be willing to let Xue Shaohua take the initiative like this.
However, Chen Yuqing's face was extremely calm at this time, and he couldn't see what she thought.
"Director Bao, this Tucker Oil Company. It should be American companies, I remember that they first invested in the Northwest Province when they entered the domestic market, right? Executive Vice Mayor Xian Chaowen suddenly asked.
Among the thirteen Standing Committee members in Haizhou, in addition to Xue Shaohua, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Bao Feiyang has the most contact with Xian Chaowen, and even before he met Xian Chaowen and Xue Shaohua, the relationship between the two is not bad.
Bao Feiyang nodded and said, "Mayor Xian." You are right, Tucker Oil Company is an emerging oil company in the United States, which has not been established for a long time, and unlike established companies like Mobil, they are more active in foreign cooperation, and in the capital composition of Tucker Oil, North American Chinese businessmen occupy an important role. β
"Oh, this is the first time I've ever known, and it's no wonder Tucker Oil was able to enter the domestic oil sector in the first place. It should have something to do with their background in Chinese businessmen, right? Xian Chaowen asked with a smile.
Bao Feiyang smiled and shook his head: "I don't know about this, but the situation in Northwest Province is a bit special, they have a certain say in the province's oil affairs, so it is easier to cooperate with Tucker Oil Company." β
"yes, I know that. Many places are envious of this matter, and even some provinces even go to the central government to discuss the law, but in the end, no one can do it, who let the northwest province have a Linhuang oil field? Xian Chaowen smiled and shook his head: "But what." Director Bao, I remember that this matter seems to have something to do with you, right? β
Bao Feiyang smiled and said, "Mayor Xian." At that time, when the Northwest Province was carrying out the oil reform, I happened to be involved in the Northwest Provincial System Reform Office, so I had some contact with the relevant personnel of Tucker Oil Company. β
"However, Tucker Oil's participation in the tripartite shipyard joint venture project did not play a big role in my personal relationship. It is mainly the relationship between Fangyuan Tianxia Consulting Company that plays a role. Fangyuan Tianxia this information consulting company has cooperative relations with many large international companies, this three-party joint venture to build a shipyard plan is Fangyuan Tianxia Consulting Company after the integration of various factors, Tucker Oil Company has the capital and strength, but the investment in the domestic oil field is still more restricted, so Tucker Oil Company also hopes to open up the situation in other fields. Therefore, they participated in the three-party joint venture to build a shipyard, but Tucker Oil's business focus is still on the oil and energy sector, and the shipyard is just a test project for their diversification. Bao Feiyang said.
Bao Feiyang knew that Xian Chao had asked so much, in addition to wanting to inquire about the relationship between him and Tucker Oil, he also had the purpose of helping him build momentum by the way.
Sure enough, hearing Bao Feiyang say this, several members of the Standing Committee, including Xue Shaohua, looked at him with a little surprise. Only now do they understand how much Bao Feiyang paid to get the joint venture shipyard project of the South Korean Shanshui Company to Haizhou. Not only did Fangxia Ceramics Group come forward, but also used the hole card of Tucker Oil Company.
If it is only Fangxia Ceramics Group, even if they have abundant funds, I am afraid there is no way to participate in the acquisition of Dadong Shipbuilding by Shanshui Group, whether it is the Korean private sector or the government's attitude towards American and Chinese capital is very different. Even if it is to build a joint venture factory in mainland China, Shanshui Group may not choose Fangxia Ceramics Group, after all, the main ceramic business of Fangxia Ceramics Group has no intersection with Shanshui Group.
But Tucker Oil is different, oil tankers and gas carriers have always been one of the main businesses of the shipyard, and it is easy for the two parties to cooperate with this potential business relationship.
Bao Feiyang pulled Shangxia Ceramics Group and Tucker Petroleum Company to finally say that South Korea's Shanshui Group came to Haizhou to investigate, which shows that Bao Feiyang must be bound to win this tripartite joint venture shipyard project.
Even if Han Qiwen has a lot of resentment against Bao Feiyang in his heart, he will not jump out and disagree and sabotage at this time, because Han Qiwen also knows the importance of this joint venture shipyard project to Haizhou, not to mention anything else, the investment of 30 million US dollars will be put there! What's more, Xue Shaohua, secretary of the municipal party committee, has made it clear that he has asked the whole city of Haizhou to fully cooperate with Bao Feiyang to leave the project of this tripartite joint venture shipbuilding company in Haizhou.
However, Bao Feiyang's second request caused controversy.
The first requirement that Bao Feiyang just put forward is that the city should write the shipbuilding industry into the development plan of Haizhou City as a strategic pillar industry, and take this as a requirement to support the development of the shipbuilding industry. For this point, since Mayor Chen Yuqing did not express clear opposition, the other Standing Committee members present have no objections, anyway, it is a paper plan, the city's plan has to be revised almost every year, and now it is written in, it does not mean that Haizhou City will definitely implement anything according to this planning area, and even some Standing Committee members feel that the reason why Bao Feiyang let the city's development plan be written into this article is to deceive the Korean Shanshui Company.
