Listening to Lin Qiangsheng's words of thanks, Zhang Xiaojun also said with a smile: "We are also very grateful to Mr. Lin for handing over the large petrochemical project to our military unit, and we will complete the task with quality and quantity and deliver the project as soon as possible!" ”

The scale of the construction task received by Xinxing Corporation this time was unusually huge, and it turned out that the General Logistics Department thought that Lin Qiangsheng would be able to hand over the construction tasks of the three links and one level and the factory and warehouse to the military industry, and they would be satisfied. But what they didn't expect was that Lin Qiangsheng actually proposed to package the third phase of the Haicang project to the General Logistics Department as a whole, and when the first and second phases of the project were completed, the Haicang petrochemical plant will reach a huge scale with an annual output of 800,000 tons of ethylene, which is a multi-billion dollar project! (Maoming 300,000 tons of ethylene project, approved on August 8, 1992, with a total investment of 11.078 billion yuan)

The General Logistics Department quickly established this new head office, and now the troops are allowed to do business. In particular, this cooperation plan has also received strong support from the Central Military Commission, and major disarmament issues are now being discussed at the top of the country. On the one hand, the country's economy is difficult and financially constrained, while on the other hand, China has the same number of military personnel as the Soviet Union, but the equipment level of the 4 million army is extremely backward. Now the war can no longer be won by numbers, the Sino-Vietnamese war has fully exposed the shortcomings of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army has suffered heavy casualties in front of the Vietnamese army, which is armed with rapid-fire weapons!

The supreme leader has made up his mind to disarm, and the Chinese army has reached the point where it is not in order!

Contrary to popular belief, although the Chinese army at that time had 4 million men, the companies were not fully staffed, and the bloated organs were at all levels. There are too many deputies in organs at all levels, and each military region has more than a dozen or even dozens of leaders, and what kind of "regimental secrecy officers" and "battalion-level typists" are there, and so on. The ratio of officers and soldiers in the major countries of the world is 1:4.65 in the Soviet Union, 1:10 in the Federal Republic of Germany, and 1:17 in France. In China, it is 1:2.45.

There is a leader for every 2.45 soldiers, can the agency units go to the battlefield at a critical moment!

286 pointed out sharply at the Central Military Commission's forum: Now it is not "swollen" in combat units, but in leading organs at all levels. Therefore, it is not so much a "good soldier" as an "elite officer".

The Haicang Plan was the first to be signed, and it was also the fastest agreement to be completed. Billions of dollars have greatly increased the country's foreign exchange reserves. It is also in line with the plan of 286 elite soldiers to streamline administration and purchase advanced weapons from abroad to build a strong army!

Of course, billions of dollars are not sent to China's overseas accounts all at once. Lin Qiangsheng is still very useful for his money, in fact, he didn't want to reach an agreement with China so quickly at the beginning.

Lin Qiangsheng never expected that the country was so eager for foreign exchange, and he even thought that he would wait for the signing of the "Plaza Accord" in 1985 to exchange all the dollars for yen, and after the five countries led by the United States forced the yen to appreciate, the dollar against the yen would fluctuate from 1 dollar to 250 yen in less than three months to about 1 dollar to 200 yen, a drop of 25%.

Since then, the US authorities and financial experts have repeatedly verbally intervened in the dollar. The purpose of suppressing the further depreciation of the dollar is to revive the battered U.S. manufacturing sector and boost exports, which has historically fallen to as low as 120 yen per dollar. In less than three years, the dollar has lost 50% of its value against the yen, which means that the yen has doubled in value against the dollar.

By then, Lin Qiangsheng's holdings of tens of billions of dollars will be doubled, and if he uses his industry as collateral to lend a large amount of dollars from banks in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries, and issue corporate bonds in countries like the United States with loose restrictions to absorb funds, and then invest them in the yen exchange rate market, his assets will snowball. Oh no, it's pole growth!

Lin Qiangsheng is no longer thinking about how to build a project quickly. It's about thinking about how to stall for time!

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head again and again and said to Zhang Xiaojun: "According to the normal construction speed, we must pay attention to construction safety and construction specifications, and strictly follow the construction standards formulated by our side!" This is not something that you can build in 10 months in the Great Hall of the People, this is a major incident if there is a problem in the petrochemical plant, and it will explode and kill people! ”

Lin Qiangsheng said solemnly to the engineers of Dongxing Company, Zhang Xiaojun and other Chinese personnel: "I don't want to do any gift projects in order to pursue the speed of completion, and relax the quality of the project!" ”

Although there is an interpreter present. But Lin Qiangsheng still personally sternly admonished several American engineers and supervisors in English, and Lin Qiangsheng was not satisfied until they all nodded their heads.

Zhang Xiaojun also looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, he didn't expect that this young man also knew the deeds of the Great Hall of the People, and it did take them ten months and less than a year to build the magnificent Great Hall. Moreover, through this project, the construction team has been trained, and many outstanding talents have been cultivated!

But Lin Qiangsheng's words, Zhang Xiaojun couldn't refute them. This is a foreign investment project, and there is nothing wrong with strict requirements and excellent quality.

……………

Negotiations between Dongxing Group and China are still continuing, and the two sides have sorted out the order of project subdivision and put the simplest first. For example, in the Haicang Plan, both the local government and the central government need to vigorously build a special zone as a model project, so the negotiation of this project is also ranked first. Moreover, the China Petroleum and Petrochemical Corporation (the two barrels of oil have not yet been separated), and the Hujian local government also participated in the negotiations.

Hujian Branch of Dongxing Petrochemical Corporation was established by Dongxing Group, which is a joint venture with a total investment of US$3 billion and 65% control by Dongxing Group in three phases.

Lin Qiangsheng lent a total of $1 billion in yen to PetroChina and the Hujian provincial government, and stipulated that they would have to repay the loan in yen in the future.

Both sides nodded in agreement, and their representatives were even very happy, because PetroChina and Hu Jianxing both have close economic relations with Japan, and most of China's crude oil has been sold to Japan in recent years, and Hu Jian has many overseas Chinese in Japan and has deep economic ties with Japan.

Since the two parties are very happy, Lin Qiangsheng will also push the boat to pit them, and there is no way for them to repay their debts if they want to appreciate the yen in the future!

Some people at the higher level also have the idea of taking out several offshore oil fields along the coast to make joint ventures with Dongxing, so as to save a lot of foreign exchange. But Lin Qiangsheng refused without thinking about it, according to his original words, Dongxing Group did not have a plan to acquire oil fields in China immediately, first, Dongxing now has no technology to exploit offshore oil fields, and second, there is no management experience.

But in fact, this is just an excuse, Lin Qiangsheng really didn't want to participate too much in domestic crude oil exploitation.

As far as he knew, no foreign oil company had ever obtained the right to exploit oil fields onshore in China in his previous life, so he did not have that luxury. ConocoPhillips, which worked with CNOOC to exploit offshore oil in the Bohai Sea, withdrew from China after paying huge sums of money for oil spill pollution.

Shell and Chevron have joint shale gas mining projects with China, but they are also thankless. Canada's Husky Petroleum Company and Britain's BP Petroleum Company have joint exploration cooperation with PetroChina in the South China Sea, and the investment has been slow to achieve results. The rest are some oil and gas technical service companies that mainly provide well drilling technology, such as Schlumberger and Baker Hughes.

It can be seen that almost no oil company has benefited from China in the oil field, and this situation cannot but make Lin Qiangsheng vigilant!

He took a minibus with Hu Jianxing, leading cadres of Xiamen City, Zhang Xiaojun and others, and took a very serious turn around the construction site.

The huge construction site is in full view, Lin Qiangsheng has a feeling that the king of the mountain has come to patrol the mountain, and he is happy in the whole process, this is a huge land of 15,000 hectares!

Moreover, Haicang is surrounded by the sea on both sides, and the climate is pleasant, on the contrary, the Northeast in mid-May is still wearing autumn clothes and pants, and there are already people here who wear pants bare-chested. It's so worry-free to live in the south, and you don't have to worry about preparing winter clothes!

Lin Qiangsheng even thought about building a beautiful castle by the sea, standing on the balcony, you can overlook the blue sky and white clouds and blue water, and you can go out to the beach and the sea! (To be continued.) )
