Chapter 373 Three Plans
The public opinion offensive against Xinke Company was obviously precisely planned. At the beginning, there was no sudden large-scale outbreak, but it was reported from relatively low-density famous newspapers in the second-tier line, and first cultivated the public opinion atmosphere.
The ability of a Chinese company to make money so efficiently does make people who see the report curious. What technology does it sell? Is it really so important? It takes tens of billions and billions of dollars to pay?
As if it was stimulated by readers' reports after the report, these newspapers began to dig deeper information from Xinke Company one after another.
The inside story of the transaction between Motorola, DuPont and Xinke was leaked intermittently.
There has been no news on the market for a transaction of tens of billions before, which is unreasonable. The existence of Xinke Company has also made many people become curious and gradually become a little alert from the beginning.
In particular, some reports selectively disclosed the details of the cooperation between Motorola and Xinke. For example, Xinke used Motorola fabs to train talents, but sold the shares of the cooperative company to DuPont. Although these transactions are facts, they are not all facts. The report did not draw any conclusions directly, but they portrayed Xinke into an image of Motorola and sold it.
The transaction with MTU under these reports became Xinke's company that held new technologies to threaten innocent MTU companies, and greedily used blackmail to make excess profits.
Even Hu Wenhai's cooperation with Cisco was dug up, and he completely forgot that it was IBM that acquired the shares of Leonard and his wife at a low price. In real history, Sequoia did this but only praised it, praising Sequoia Capital's foresight and unreasonable "business means". In short, it was a monk who could touch it - the Chinese could not touch it.
These reports seem to have been calculated with the most sophisticated calculations, and can always appear inadvertently on targeted media of a specific group when the reader is most in a suitable mood.
The obvious public opinion is ready in full swing and orderly, and I think it is someone who wants to be ill-intentioned to Xinke Company. But who is hiding behind these public opinions, and what is hidden under the iceberg is still unknown.
However, before the foreign public opinion offensive was detonated, Bohai Province caused a big and small storm because of the previous news that the province had made public to calm prices.
In order to stabilize the price of textiles, Bohai Province's future plan is not only to introduce a batch of high-quality long-tail cotton in the Middle East to rescue emergency, but also to plan to establish a 500,000-ton large chemical project.
The so-called large chemical project, in the name that people are slightly familiar with thirty years later, is the PX project. PX means paraxylene, which is an important raw material for synthetic fibers, that is, chemical fibers, and can replace cotton to produce textiles.
The entire plan for the 500,000-ton chemical project in Bohai Province is expected to be completed and put into production within one to two years, completely reversing the demand for textiles in Bohai Province and even the Northeast.
This time is not too tight, so as soon as the project was announced, the province launched the preliminary preparation plan for the project.
For a moment, many petrochemical and chemical companies in Bohai Province rose up and focused on the Bohai Petrochemical Corporation.
Where can this 500,000-ton large chemical project be settled, it is really a confusing result.
Li Yu, manager of the Bohai Branch of the General Petrochemical Corporation, sat at the conference table and remained silent. He listened quietly to the people beside him talking and broke a plan, and told it to the members of the entire company's party committee.
Although these members of the Party Committee seem to be together and working together, in fact, the so-called Bohai Provincial Branch is just a concept, and it is a team of two brands with the Bohai Provincial Department of Petrochemical Industry. The deputy general managers present also have their own territory.
Some of them come from oil production plants in Liaohe Oilfield, some come from large oil refineries in Bohai Province, and some come from oil production equipment machinery plants and Exploration and Development Research Institute. Even the deputy secretary of the Party Committee and the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission are still held by a leader of the Bohai Provincial Public Security Department.
Unlike the department-level units in the province, the members of the Party Committee of the Bohai Petrochemical Corporation are all who have the final say on one acre and three-point basis. Behind each person is a team that is actually not in charge of each other.
"As for the site selection of large chemical projects, our plan suggests that Xiucheng is first to eliminate Xiucheng. There are three reasons for the exclusion. One of the major chemical projects has considerable production capacity, requiring extremely strong transportation capacity and on-site digestion capacity. In this regard, Xiucheng Port is limited to natural conditions and limited capacity expansion. The Baiyin-Xiucheng coal transportation railway that the Ministry of Railways is planning will occupy a considerable part of Xiucheng Port's transportation resources in the future."
"Secondly, Xiucheng is planning to settle in a PI production project. Although the production capacity is relatively low, the added value is relatively high. It is more in line with Xiucheng's future urban positioning, so we are not ready to fight for this PX project."
"Third, although China Railway Construction Investment Bank has not been fully established yet, it can be foreseen that as the headquarters of Xinke Company, Xiucheng will have a profound influence on China Railway Construction Investment Bank's investment projects. The project is placed in Xiucheng, which still has some impact on management issues. Therefore, Xiucheng has clearly stated that it will not strive for this 500,000-ton chemical project."
Indeed, China Railway Construction Investment Bank is still in the preparation stage. Although it is backed by the Ministry of Railways and the People's Bank of China, the establishment of a bank is not a matter of overnight success. The current progress can be said to be very fast, but objective laws cannot be changed. People, venues, organizational structures and other aspects will be under construction and trial operation within at least one or two years.
But the project does not wait for anyone, and DuPont will not wait for two years to allocate this 10 billion project - DuPont agrees, and Mr. Hu will not agree. The 10 billion dollar is in DuPont's hands and depreciates every day.
Therefore, China Railway Construction Investment Bank can only start to use the shelves and start to exercise its own functions during the preparation stage.
The first project before China Railway Construction Investment Bank was the 500,000-ton large chemical project jointly built with the Bohai Branch of the General Petrochemical Corporation.
The members of the Party Committee of the Bohai Petrochemical Corporation here, hearing the words of She Ying, the head of the Investment Department of China Railway Construction Investment Bank, showed a laughter and crying expression on her face. On the one hand, the Xiucheng was unable to participate in the competition for large chemical projects, and everyone here could be relieved. But on the other hand, the indifferent attitude revealed by Xiucheng also made people wonder what to say.
She Yingjiuke waited for everyone in the conference room to digest the news, and then continued: "China Railway Construction Investment Bank provides a variety of cooperation plans to the Petrochemical Corporation. The import price of this batch of 500,000-ton large chemical project is US$380 million. The Petrochemical Corporation can choose to pay US$380 million or RMB 2.280 million to acquire this batch of equipment in full."
Before he could finish his words, everyone almost subconsciously shook their heads. The price of 380 million US dollars was almost all the foreign exchange reserves of that year for Petrochemical Corporation. Unlike high-value-added industrial products such as mechanical and electrical products, the proportion of domestic foreign exchange reserves for raw materials and energy exports is quite low. The foreign exchange reserves for mechanical and electrical exports is 50%, while the foreign exchange reserves for oil exports are 5%.
Whether the crude oil exported by the Ministry of Petroleum every year is about whether it is $7.6 billion?
As for the quotation of RMB 2.28 billion, it was calculated based on a relatively reasonable exchange rate of 1 to 6. China Railway Construction Investment Bank did not expect to make money from the Petrochemical Corporation on this, but the Petrochemical Corporation could not afford this equipment by itself. The Petrochemical Corporation in the 1980s gritted its teeth and might be able to get it out, but when the budget was formulated at the beginning of the year, it definitely did not leave so much mobile capital.
Seeing this, She Ying continued to propose the subsequent plan: "In addition, we can also provide other cooperation options. Plan 2, China Railway Construction Investment Bank uses equipment as an investment and calculates the shareholding ratio based on the investment of the entire project."
The people from the Petrochemical Corporation looked at each other and began to shake their heads again. Large chemical projects are capital- and technology-intensive. If all the equipment is provided by China Railway Construction Investment, the shares may not be very good to be distributed. As a manager and operator of the domestic petrochemical industry, how could the Petrochemical Corporation accept such an arrangement?
"Plan 3: Project leasing. The Da Chemical Project is completed by China Railway Construction Investment Bank and leased to the Petrochemical Corporation. After the lease is over 20 years, the entire project will be transferred to the Petrochemical Corporation for free. However, during the leasing period, the Da Chemical Project must obey the supervision and management of China Railway Construction Investment Bank."
Hearing this, the people from the Petrochemical Corporation finally stopped making small moves. But everyone is a talented person, so I wonder if the third plan that was put to the final is the cooperation method that China Railway Construction Investment is willing to cooperate?
It can be said that among these three plans, the third plan is the easiest way for Petrochemical Corporation. But the third plan is the most unacceptable one.
It is easy to accept, which means that the cost pressure is minimal. After the construction of a large chemical project is completed, it does not require them to invest any resources. As long as they are sent out, it is enough. Just kidding, all resources in the oil system are short of, and the only thing that is not short of is workers who have no jobs.
What's more, after renting for twenty years, the entire project is owned by the Petrochemical Corporation, which is indeed the most comfortable.
But the problem is that in the past twenty years, this large chemical project must be subject to supervision and management by China Railway Construction Investment Bank. Isn’t this equivalent to a corn being broken away from its own private plot?
This has undoubtedly touched their core interests for Petrochemical Corporation.
This is also the reason why Hu Wenhai promoted China Railway Construction Investment Bank. If China Railway Construction Investment was not covered with a state-owned enterprise and the Ministry of Railways stood behind it, I am afraid that the Petrochemical Corporation would not even talk to you.
The equipment and technology he brought from DuPont can only be processed at a low price or even at a low price.
The leaders of the Petrochemical Corporation, who were used to being in the prestigious land of one acre of three cents of the land, were really undecided for a moment.
Dangdang two times, General Manager Li Yu knocked on the table, looked at the members of the Party Committee of the Provincial Petrochemical Corporation present with a blank expression, and said in a deep voice: "Let's say your opinions. Which of these three plans is feasible?"
"Mr. Li, should you ask the head office to make a decision on this situation?" Someone frowned and said hesitantly: "For such a big thing, it is not easy for our provincial company to make decisions, right?"
"Of course, the head office cannot make the decision on the 500,000-ton large chemical project itself." Li Yu glanced at the person who spoke and nodded, "The Planning Commission and Economic Commission must nod on the project establishment issue. Don't worry about this. The organizational procedures are already running, and it is estimated that there will be results soon. However, we must have opinions on how the project is carried out. Will the superior leaders not let people speak?"
“What we said is useful?”
"The superior leaders will fully consider everyone's opinions. This is a project in Bohai Province after all." Li Yu simply lit a name on the spot without waiting for others to speak on the spot: "Vice President Cai, let's talk."
As Li Yu said, although large chemical projects are inevitably cooperated with the Petrochemical Corporation, in the final analysis, this is a project of Bohai Province. The investment brought by Bohai Province is built on the ground of Bohai Province to solve the needs of large chemicals in Bohai Province and even the entire Northeast. Since the project cannot avoid Bohai Province, the superior leaders must show some respect for the opinions of local cadres.
For the Petrochemical Corporation, the Planning Commission and the Economic Commission, what is needed is that Bohai Province has added 500,000 tons of paraxylene production. As for the following operation mode, the General Company cannot provide specific guidance regardless of the following opinions.
"I think the first one is good." Vice President Cai was sloppy and simply pointed out the most unlikely and least mistaken plan. The first plan was fully acquired, except for the Petrochemical Corporation, which was not the same as the Petrochemical Corporation, which was absolutely the right choice.
Li Yu seemed to have no reaction to his stolen tricks, so he just said no, and then continued to click: "Vice President Diao, what do you think?"
"I want me to say..." Vice President Diao gritted his teeth and said simply: "The third plan is more suitable. We will provide people, China Railway Construction Investment will provide equipment and technology, and strong cooperation will be good for everyone."
"Well, what about Vice President Zhong's opinion?"
“I think the first one is very good.”
...
Li Yu took out the vice presidents below one by one and heard them say their opinions. Some people chose the first option, while others were optimistic about the third option, but no one chose the second option. Everyone knows that the second option is to beat dogs with meat buns, and there is no other advantage except setting up competitors for themselves.
Until everyone had a superficial position, Li Yu's fingers kept pounding on the conference table, leaving only him without superficial attitude.
"Every comrades have their own reasons. The choices we have in front of us are not the first, second, and third plan, there are only two plans. The first plan is to do this project. The second plan is not to do this project. As for the full purchase or 20-year lease, we basically have no choice. We can't get the 2.28 billion yuan of funds ourselves, and no bank can borrow such a large amount of loans. So to do it, there is only a third plan to choose from. Instead of doing it..."
Li Yu's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present. Although he had not finished speaking, the meaning of the words was that he could not understand the truth.
The 500,000-ton chemical project in Bohai Province is related to price reform and the country's industrial layout. Although there are no factions within the party and are all kinds of strange things, the organization has always had an absolute blow to small hills.
Of course, after all, the current Petrochemical Corporation is not the next two barrels of oil. In China's economic territory, the power of the oil system has not yet grown to the point where people are afraid of oil.
Although the Petrochemical Corporation is the predecessor of two barrels of oil today, its influence is very weak. Not to mention the real-power ministries such as the Ministry of Railways, the superior Petroleum Industry Department of the Petrochemical Corporation, it is just an ordinary Ministry of Industry with good foreign exchange capacity.
If you really want to say it, China Shipbuilding Corporation, which has suddenly exploded this year's foreign exchange income, may even speak harder than Petrochemical Corporation. China Shipbuilding Corporation's foreign exchange is a 50% line for electromechanical products. In this regard, the Petrochemical Corporation, which sells resources, can only cry for men and women.
"I think everyone knows that our Bohai branch can choose not to do it, but the question is, can we accept the consequences of not doing it?"
When some of the others opened their mouths when they heard Li Yu say this, they didn't say anything in the end.
I openly oppose the country's strategic planning. There are ones here who count on the other, and no one can bear this responsibility.
"Since everyone doesn't speak, I'll just talk."
Li Yu cleared his throat, coughed and said, "I think the Bohai Branch of our Petrochemical Corporation is not very confident about this project. I believe everyone thinks it is a bit difficult. Ah? But it doesn't matter, ah, it doesn't matter! As the main force of the Liaohe Oilfield, our Shuguang Factory is willing to take on this responsibility! I think this way, the large chemical project is placed in the Huanxiu City of our Shuguang Factory. Our Shuguang Factory will definitely do this project well!"
The conference room was quiet for a moment, and the members looked around as if they suspected that they had heard it wrong. After seeing incredible expressions on the faces of others, they realized that they had heard it right!
"Manager Li, why is this..." Deputy General Manager Diao stood up excitedly and said in a daze: "We are not discussing how to cooperate with China Railway Construction Investment, why did you set the project location? Besides, it is just that others say they want to choose the first plan, and I am the first to support the third plan. Our Jinma Oilfield also welcomes the settlement of the large chemical project!"
"Our Shengyang Chemical Factory is not opposed to the settlement of large chemical projects!" Deputy General Manager Yang stared at his eyes and almost slapped the table: "Our Shengyang Chemical Factory itself is a large chemical project of 250,000 tons. Who can compare with us if it comes to professionalism?"
Other leaders who were led by Li Yu before by taking advantage of the convenience of presiding the meeting have now come back to the scene. Damn, I accidentally touched you Li Yu's words! This grandson is so dark!
The leaders who supported the first plan were regretful. The speeches at the meeting were recorded. The words said were water splashed out. Even if they were swallowed on the spot, She Ying, the ninth chief of China Railway Construction Investment, would not have a small notebook to write down this dark history.
Fortunately, when we express our opinions, we do not always support the first plan, and many people support the third plan.
Now they have figured it out, how did they say that? Since the girl who was fucked by Gong San can't resist, then try to enjoy it...
Large chemical projects cannot be opposed, so we must strive to put the projects into the local areas of various enterprises. Twenty years later, in the process of building large chemical projects, they will definitely be unable to support them. Even if they do not violate discipline, there will be countless opportunities to come to you. The worst is the worst. If such a project is established, how many employees' children will have to solve the employment needs!
Several deputy general managers who agreed to the third plan also quickly joined the siege and complained that Li Yu had actually run away at the meeting.
General Manager Li Yu coughed, and the boss's power was still there, and the lower part gradually calmed down. However, looking at the faces of the group of deputy general managers below, they were obviously ready to rub their hands, although they were going to come up to grab the meat and eat it.
Even those who voted for the first plan were also communicating with their eyes, thinking about how to eat what they said.
"This, comrades are very enthusiastic. This is a good thing!" Li Yu paused for a moment and pondered: "But, since we have to use the third plan, the location selection must not be decided by our Petroleum Corporation. No matter what, we must listen to what Comrade She Ying of China Railway Construction Investment said? Let me express my opinion first. Our Shuguang Company absolutely supports China Railway Construction Investment's large chemical project, and will support it unconditionally!"
"Okay, let's listen to Comrade She Ying's opinions."
The people below looked at each other. Li Yu was really - or if they were the general manager, the next one was the deputy general manager. Not only did they get a first-mover advantage for themselves, but they also used their position as general manager to harden She Ying's favorability, and finally blocked the channel for others to show favorability.
When China Railway Construction Investment Bank was first established, everything was in the process of being pioneered. She Ying could operate such a big project, and the future would be bright. To put it in a small way, Shuguang Company had at least won at the starting line.
"Let me talk about the site selection operation of the Investment Department of China Railway Construction Investment Bank. This is our plan..."
She Ying, head of the Jiu Section of the Investment Department of China Railway Construction Investment Bank, oh, it seems that he has not introduced his origin yet. It is said that this young man in his twenties and under thirties has no special background. Before he served at China Railway Construction Investment Bank, he was just a standing committee member of the Standardization Committee of Xinke Company.
The reason why he was able to become a middle-level leader in the most important department of China Railway Construction Investment was because his work in the Standardization Committee was mainly responsible for standardized acceptance work.
Chapter completed!
