Chapter 477: The Road is Blue

Lin Qiangsheng came to Haicang County, Hujian Province, which was already about to enter summer, and petrochemical experts and engineering planners hired from abroad had already arrived here in advance, and a unit under the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army had already started the work of three links and one leveling here.

It was only after Lin Qiangsheng arrived in Haicang that he realized how much his petrochemical project had changed the county, which was one of the first cities to reform and open up due to its location in Xiamen. In order to attract foreign investment, the state has given many preferential policies to the Special Economic Zone, and the reformers certainly hope that a landmark large-scale investment can be introduced here, as a benchmark to attract more Hong Kong and Macao enterprises and foreign capital!

On the other hand, TW Island across the strait already has a relatively complete and world-advanced chemical industry, and the chemical industry has become an important industrial pillar of TW's economy. This comparison shows that the technology and strength of the mainland are too backward, and it does not show the superiority of socialism at all!

As a close proximity to Hu Jian Province, of course, there is also the desire to build a chemical industry, because they see that TW has relied on light industry to achieve economic take-off and over-speed development, a large number of products have been exported overseas and earned countless foreign exchanges, and it has the reputation of the Asian Four Tigers!

Hu Jian covers an area of 121,400 square kilometers, while TW is only 35,800 square kilometers, but the economic strength of the small TW is many times that of Hu Jian. Therefore, many people in China see a road to the rapid rise of light industry, and light industry is inseparable from the support of the chemical industry, Hu Jian Province is very suitable for the development of light industry and chemical industry, the establishment of a large petrochemical raw material production base is their first-class development goal, the domestic chemical technology level and strength to improve, has become the most realistic and urgent need of the central and local government!

When Lin Qiangsheng announced the investment plan, he placed one of the integrated factories in Haicang, and the top leader allocated 15,000 hectares (150 square kilometers) of land to Dongxing in Haicang County to support it, and promised that the central government would strongly support Dongxing Group to build a petrochemical base.

With such a huge support, why worry about the project not being successful. In fact, Lin Qiangsheng also had some concerns about engaging in petroleum and petrochemical at the beginning. This industry is not like automobiles and electronics, it is an energy-based resource-based enterprise, and whoever has the resources in the future will have the right to speak in the market!

The large-scale investment is naturally large, involving many industry and enterprise sectors, and the interests of all parties are complex, so it is difficult to guarantee that Dongxing Company will grasp the quasi-policy trend. The most important thing is the maintenance of relations with the government!

But it is precisely because the petrochemical industry is the lifeblood of a country that this industry is of great importance and can even affect national decision-making. For the sake of the industrial soundness of Dongxing Group and to have more voice in China, Lin Qiangsheng decided to give it a try even if he has no experience in petroleum and petrochemical!

Wang Yongqing is not a Formosa Plastics built in a day, and he is not relying on himself to build Formosa Plastics into a world-class enterprise, there are countless talent elites who have entered Formosa Plastics and have been recruited by him to jointly establish this petrochemical kingdom! Wang Yongqing is Lin Qiangsheng's role model!

Fortunately, in the late 70s and early 80s, Europe and the United States and other countries entered a period of economic stagflation due to high oil prices and product surplus, and tens of thousands of enterprises in the United States alone closed down in the past few years, including petrochemical companies.

Wang Yongqing also took advantage of this opportunity to acquire some large and medium-sized petrochemical companies in the United States and expanded Formosa Plastics into a quasi-multinational enterprise!

Lin Qiangsheng also made a big deal in Europe and the United States at that time. Not only has a lot of industrial technology and equipment been purchased, but a lot of them are related to petroleum and petrochemical.

Since the establishment of Dongxing, he has purchased a large number of mechanical equipment and technical patents and process know-how from Europe and the United States, which have been resold to many enterprises in Bincheng and China, and a large number of equipment has been invested in the factories controlled by Dongxing in the new industrial zone to improve the technical strength and production scale.

Lin Qiangsheng has also started to buy and sell second-hand machinery and equipment for a long time, and the good ones are left for personal use or waiting for appreciation, and the ordinary ones are disposed of as soon as possible. But there are still a lot of equipment is too high for a while to find the next home to stay in the hands, these are mostly heavy machinery and chemical machinery and other large equipment, Dongxing's petroleum and petrochemical plant began to build, these machinery and equipment also have a place!

Meantime. He also acquired a number of small and medium-sized petrochemical enterprises in the United States, and hired some experienced managers and engineers in the petrochemical industry, as well as many technicians. He is not like Wang Yongqing who is engaged in any kind of warm enterprise in the United States. In order to gain a foothold, even if the industry falls into an overall downturn, he is embarrassed to lay off employees, and would rather lower the salary level of all employees of the group to keep the jobs of American workers, and Lin Johnson has no concerns in this regard. Now that the petrochemical industry in China has opened, these people have been given the opportunity to work again.

TW people are also very calculating, in the last 20 years of reform and opening up, among many foreign-funded enterprises, only TW Capital has the lowest salary level and welfare benefits, but they don't do it abroad!

General Zhao Nanqi of the General Logistics Department held a work meeting in Xiamen attended by logistics directors of major military regions. During the meeting, General Zhao, together with leaders of Hu Jianxing Province and Xiamen City, conducted a survey on the Haicang Peninsula in advance.

The Haicang Peninsula faces the urban area of Xiamen Island across the sea, and the northeast of the peninsula is only separated from Xiamen by a strait about 1 km wide. The peninsula has convenient land transportation, and it is also easy to build a railway, and the farthest part of the peninsula is only a dozen kilometers away from the Yingxia Railway. The deepest part of the peninsula's coastal waters is 14 meters long, and the harbor terminal is indeed ideal for building large enterprises.

Half a month later, the preliminary engineering drawings of the Haicang project were completed, which weighed about 10 kilograms, and were carefully studied by Chinese petrochemical experts, and the research results determined that this was a very reliable construction drawing that could be fully implemented.

Lin Qiangsheng is also very satisfied, the main engineering designers hired by Dongxing are from well-known oil companies in Europe and the United States, such as Mobil Oil, Exxon, Chevron and Occidental Petroleum. These people have a lot of experience in engineering construction, and the drawings are readily available, but in fact, they only need to take the ready-made experience of Europe and the United States to China and make a little transformation.

The first phase of Haicang is planned to build a cracking oil plant with an annual output of 300,000 tons of ethylene and a petroleum cracking plant with an annual output of 5 million tons of gasoline, as well as an ethylene deep processing plant and an oil deep processing plant supporting the two. The ethylene of many petrochemical enterprises in the world is digested by itself, which can support the added value of products such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride, while petroleum cracking will also produce a variety of valuable products, which can process industrial products such as lubricating oil additives.

Lin Qiangsheng's first phase of the project plan is not as big as Wang Yongqing's Haicang plan, after the joint discussion of Chinese and American experts, according to the actual situation, the first cooperation to try the hand is still reliable.

Lin Qiangsheng, Zhu Rong and others took the drawings to Haicang again for proofreading, and at this time, the team sent by the General Logistics Department had been officially renamed Xinxing Group, and the general manager was named Zhang Xiaojun.

He stood on the edge of the construction site, from his feet to the distance to the coast, which is the territory of the Dongxing Group, and now there are thousands of engineers participating in the labor on this land, and hundreds of engineering vehicles and special equipment are involved in the construction.

Lin Qiangsheng can't help but think that in the future, the completion of his petrochemical kingdom will become an important foundation for the development of the national economy, and as long as the plan is successfully increased, it will become an important production link in the petrochemical industry in the whole Asia!

In China's political arena, everything that is called small is basically the second generation of red, and Lin Qiangsheng also attaches great importance to the person in charge of this new large construction company, and he does not want to affect the quality of the project because of his attitude.

After Zhang Xiaojun's introduction, he learned that this construction company independent from the General Logistics Department has more than 100 large factories and mines, and has a strong construction team!

This enterprise has integrated a number of excellent engineering units with outstanding reputation in China and have also undertaken major projects abroad, and they are especially good at building various oil pipelines, oil warehouses, large oil tank containers, and they also have the manufacturing capacity of many equipment in petroleum and petrochemical fields!

Lin Qiangsheng is also satisfied with the participation of this excellent engineering construction unit in the construction of large petrochemical industry, and he knows that the best talents and teams in China have really been sent here.

He was pleased to see that the engineers had already built warehouses for storing materials and equipment and some spare parts processing plants, and military tents were used in the warehouses and workshops that had not yet had time to be built, so that many construction equipment and equipment accessories could be processed on the spot.

Lin Qiangsheng happily said to Zhang Xiaojun: "I admire the self-reliance and hard work of our soldiers!" On behalf of Dongxing Group, I would like to thank the domestic leaders for their support and help, and thank you to the emerging companies! (To be continued.) )
