Chapter 157 Retreat despite difficulties

    Sucheng was a delicious and delicious hospitality and entertained Mr. Wang Yingdong, the new vice president sent by Formosa Plastics, as well as Zhang Rongsheng of Evergreen Group, and tried to convince them again.

An increase of 10 million US dollars is not simpler than the initial financing of 45 million, which shows that the budget and investment are inaccurate. Therefore, Wang Yingdong is cautious and never does it like a monkey who has just been beaten, keeping observing and finding faults, signing and other things.

After two days of hard work, Wang Yingdong did not agree to the pure financing plan, but proposed a share plan. This was naturally something that Su Cheng could not agree to, so the two sides became stalemate.

On January 15, just 10th before the bidding, Wang Shengfei arrived in the UAE.

Seeing Su Cheng picking up the plane, Wang Sheng said helplessly: "Dr. Su, you are putting me on the fire and roasting me. Suddenly, 10 million more is still the same as before... This is not OK, the old man on the board of directors guards me and scolds me every day."

"It's not good for both parties after a long delay." Su Cheng patted his shoulder and hugged him and said, "The additional 10 million is because we have new information, which is also a good thing."

"Where is the source of the intelligence?"

"Of course I can't tell you."

"How do I report this? $10 million, not NT$10 million."

"You only have to bear 5 million US dollars. The remaining 5 million will be borne by Evergreen Group. Right, Mr. Zhang Rongsheng?" Su Cheng turned around and asked.

Zhang Rongsheng had white hair and smiled like an old fox: "If Formosa Plastics Group is willing to increase the loan amount, our Evergreen Group can indeed make this consideration. However, Mr. Su Cheng's conditions should be relaxed."

"Your argument is no different from Wang Yingdong. You can't let the bidding be scrapped just because of $5 million." Su Cheng knew that they had made a lot of preliminary preparations. Not only did he feel a pity to give up at this time, but Formosa Plastics and Evergreen were also a pity.

Wang Sheng said, "You are asking for $10 million now. What should you do if you ask for $10 million later? Before bidding, there may be some twists and turns."

"55 million is just in case, how could there be a fool who pays so much money."

"As long as there is a fool, we will fail in the bidding." Wang Sheng spoke faster.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "You said it was our bid. I will try to save money as much as possible, but the Japanese already know that our capital is 45 million, and it is 45.5 million bidding. I don't think it's just a scare. If we don't prepare, they might really get stuck in our necks."

"How do you know they won't bid for 55.5 million?"

Su Cheng glanced at Wang Sheng and said, "It's so difficult to borrow from you. It's not like a 5 million yuan increase. Ito Trading Company's money was not blown by the strong wind. After confirmation by their president and major shareholders, it will only be even more difficult to increase the funds, let alone an inexplicable increase."

Wang Sheng also smiled, opened his notepad and said, "Then what is the bidding fee going to rise?"

Su Cheng thought for a while and said, "41.2 million is the highest bid at present."

Zhang Rongsheng was stunned: "Do you really know the highest price?"

Su Cheng nodded slightly, looked at both sides, and whispered: "I will not admit this. You can report to your board of directors and you cannot mention this news. Otherwise, if the bidding fails, I will blame you all."

"How could they approve if they don't report to the board of directors!" Wang Sheng said anxiously: "If you can bid without wasting money, I guess the above will be more likely to accept it."

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Your board of directors can't even hold on to the amount of their own loans, so he let his competitor Ito Trading Company know. You reported today that Dahua Industrial knew the exact bid amount, and Ito Trading Company will know tomorrow."

"But are you sure that this accurate information will be fake news from the UAE?" Zhang Rongsheng, a man of old age, said from his own perspective: "If your source of information, the accurate information you tell you, is actually adding some amount to the real news, then other countries will get the number you bid for, and then add up step by step..."

"Which is more important than a few million dollars in bidding, compared to 18 million tons of liquefied natural gas?"

Wang Sheng covered his head and said, "It's okay if you don't mention this, but when you mention this, my brain hurts."

No matter how much he said, Wang Sheng and Zhang Rongsheng's expressions improved. Their job is to make sure that Su Cheng did not spend money randomly, and it is not forbidden to spend money. Otherwise, just stop borrowing.

As long as the bidding can be guaranteed to be successful and the bidding amount should not exceed the second place, they will have made no mistakes.

At this moment, when I heard that Su Cheng had a certain source of information, Wang Sheng and Zhang Rongsheng were already giggling in their hearts.

The three of them walked out of the airport building and just arrived at the parking lot, they encountered a vehicle from the Chinese Embassy. The ones that came out were Kang Qingfeng, Zhang Haochang, Gan Keyi and the team leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Except for the team leader, the other three people looked ugly, as if they were ravaged in a sandstorm.

"Where do you go?" When you meet him, Su Cheng had to say hello.

"Return to China." Kang Qingfeng was so haggard that he was like an uncle who stayed up late for three days and three nights.

Su Cheng was surprised and asked, "Why did you return to China at this time?"

"Return to China Report." Gan Keyi rarely spoke, and was full of grief and anger at this time: "Whether you can come back depends on what your superiors mean."

Only the team leader smiled and said, "Actually, being able to go abroad is just learning. Don't we understand the various international bidding now? We will be able to do better next time we bid. There is a big gap between us and developed countries abroad, and it is meaningless to barely bid."

When he said this, he looked at Su Cheng. All Chinese people who knew about bidding regarded Dahua Industrial as a guy who was overestimating their abilities, and he was no exception.

Zhang Haochang couldn't help it anymore and snorted: "Next time? We don't even have a bid. What experience do we have? It's a joke!"

Su Cheng understood at this time that either the Ministry of Energy retreated or the leaders above retreated. Perhaps it was the mentality of "not seeking success but seeking no mistakes", perhaps it was the mentality of picking up cheap things but not achieving success, or perhaps it was the reason why the domestic oil shortage has not yet appeared...

Su Cheng had no choice but to comfort him: "Since there is still a chance to report, then take it seriously. If you can talk to them, there is still time."

"Maybe." Kang Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, we think things too simple. If Dahua Industrial led this bid, it would be easier to speak with your shareholder status. Now, it is basically..."

"Ahem! Pay attention to diplomatic etiquette." The leader took advantage of the opportunity to remind him.

Kang Qingfeng looked at the two Taiwanese people around Sucheng, and then found that their clothes and expressions and behaviors were completely different from mainlanders. He thought that Sucheng had found two overseas Chinese, so he changed his tone and said: "Sino-Petrochemical is only willing to bear at most 2 million tons of liquefied natural gas, and it is 10% lower than the market price. We went to several electric power companies. They had no interest in using natural gas to generate electricity, and had no interest. They were completely different. Even if the leaders of ministries and commissions went to find them, they asked for a minimum price reduction of 20%. Such conditions were worse than those of the Japanese, and we could not even get the oil concession."

The leader coughed twice again and said, "Each unit has its own work arrangements, and we cannot impose our arrangements on other units. Moreover, Japan is more developed than us, so the conditions they give are of course better."

"That's a Japanese power company. In order to have a better social impact, resources will bear 20% of the cost increase." Gan Keyi searches for information every day, and is also very annoyed with the team leader.

"So they are developed countries." The leader smiled and looked at Su Cheng and said, "It's time for us to leave, the boarding time is coming."

Su Cheng shook his head secretly. China's conditions are indeed worse than other countries, and it is necessary to unite more at this time. He asked more: "Where is the economic agreement for agricultural products?"

"The Ministry of Agriculture did not agree." Zhang Haochang and others left dejectedly.

Sucheng was also speechless. It is not surprising that the Ministry of Agriculture does not approve such economic cooperation by making foreign exchange scarce countries import high prices and cannot fill their stomachs.

Of course, even if it is appropriate economic cooperation, without strong promotion, ministries and commissions probably are too lazy to approve it, which is the case in any country.

In the final analysis, it was a problem that the Ministry of Energy dispatched troops.

Su Cheng watched them enter the terminal, and was also a little lazy.

Two days later, Liu Bing called him and notified him: "The Ministry of Energy has terminated the bidding group's work. All the agreements signed before will be invalidated."

"It's only a week before bidding. It's a pity to give up now."

"If you don't get the oil concession, you can't bid. If you exit at this time, you can still save some decentness."

"Decent? Just withdraw like this, what's the decent?" Although it was expected that Sucheng still felt sad and sad. If it weren't for the 5% ratio to put him to death, Dahua Industrial's first choice would have been to bid together. At that time, he would not only have to bear the pressure of bidding, but also the pressure from the partnership company and the upper levels of the ministries and commissions.

"If economic cooperation is carried out and the bidding is ultimately failed, who will take on this responsibility?" Liu Bing was in a bad mood. After Su Cheng digested the news, he said: "Now, you are the only bidding company in China, do it well."

Su Cheng was stunned and said, "Ministry and commissions and three central enterprises, I guess I don't want me to do it well."

"Of course they want you to lose, but I support you, privately." Liu Bing did not hide it, saying, "Now, everyone is waiting to see your jokes. When I go to the ministry, I can hear them say strange things, such as overestimating their abilities and making random promises. If you are afraid, it will be too late to retreat now... Otherwise, there is only one way to go."
