Silang broke into Sucheng's office in anger, sat on the sofa with a "bang" and shouted: "Suzi, Jiahua's liquefied gas station has been reduced again."

"Oh. How much has it dropped?"

"A 12.5 kilogram bottle costs one or two cents less. A 15 kilogram cost 1 or five cents less. It is almost 3 yuan lower than the liquefied gas station next to it." Silang poured himself a glass of cold boiled water, drank it down, and said, "It won't work if this continues. The people from the Construction Bureau asked indirectly what the price of natural gas will be like in the future."

"The price of natural gas is based on national regulations." Su Cheng said as he unfolded a newspaper and said: "This article said that the price of our natural gas, in terms of calorific value, will only be lower than liquefied gas, so it is more cost-effective to use. The price of liquefied gas is reduced because natural gas is cheaper."

Shiro took it in surprise: "What newspaper?"

Su Cheng smiled and handed it to him.

Shiro read it from beginning to end, nodded constantly, and said, "It's so good, it's like I wrote it for us."

"That's right?" Su Cheng spread his hands.

"Did you find someone to publish?" Silang was a little uncomfortable. The nobleness of newspapers and news broadcasts lasted for a long time. In 1990, spending money to publish soft articles was hidden in the gray corner. The public relations department of Dahua Industrial had long been involved in this field, but it would not promote it with great fanfare.

Su Cheng nodded without telling Silang, "First use the media to stabilize the position. Let's find a way to do the liquefied gas station. What does the gas company say?"

The gas company is different from Dahua Industrial. It is designed according to the company structure of later generations. Silang's decision-making power is influenced by the other two managers. In terms of qualifications, the manager sent from Dahua Industrial has been in the company for longer than Silang. Silang is still studying, just like the gas company itself.

Silang took out a small notebook for recording, looked at it, and said, "Everyone thinks that this situation is difficult to deal with now. Either we will also reduce the price and reduce the initial installation fee. Or we will talk to Jiahua Gas Company. If you want half of Qing*dao, it is definitely impossible. Maybe you will be satisfied with giving him a suburb."

"The territory cannot be given, and pipelines are king. Let it be simple now, and it will be impossible to take it back in the future." Su Cheng was not idle either, and had already thought about it clearly. LNG will land from the liquefied natural gas terminal in Qing*dao, so the local natural gas cost will be the lowest, but the dosage will be the largest. Naturally, it is the most profitable. Perhaps, within two or three years, only Qing*dao will really make a profit. Mr. Liu proposed the condition of equal sharing and asking for a huge price. It is part of the land to repay the money.

Mr. Liu probably didn't think about knocking down Su Cheng, but looked forward to both sides making concessions to get what he wanted. He was in a provincial and ministerial-level official position and was very prosperous in the province. It would not be possible to rely on the father of a business leader at the department level.

Siro was not surprised by Su Cheng's decision. He turned a page of the record book and said: "In addition, everyone thinks that if Shengli Oilfield cuts off their liquefied gas, the opponent's camp will be defeated. They sell all the liquefied gases in the planned ones. If half of them are planned and half out of the planned ones, the price will rise."

"It's not that easy." Su Cheng's biggest political background in Shengli Oilfield was mutual trust with Lin Yonggui. But in Shengli Oilfield, Lin Yonggui was not the only secretary. Mr. Liu's father, Deputy Secretary Liu, had the ability to fight with him. Looking back two years ago, they were all cadres of the same level. A letter of appointment gave Lin Yonggui a political advantage, but that was it. There was no need to mention the issue of allocating thousands of tons of liquefied gas in the Standing Committee of the Oilfield Administration. Deputy Secretary Liu made a decision, and Lin Yonggui couldn't stretch his hand so long.

"Economic means to solve it." Sucheng quickly made a decision.

Silang said puzzledly: "Is it really a price?"

"Who said that economic means should be to compete for the price." Su Cheng asked without answering the question, saying, "Are they selling liquefied gas at the planned cost?"

"Yes, there are more than a dozen liquefied gas stations now that they simply buy their liquefied gas. Jiahua is hurting people because of this."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "They don't really want to buy capital, they are disrupting the market. However, we can buy capital with them and use their power to suppress people."

"How to press?"

"Buy all the liquefied gas they sell, and you can add one cent to 20 cents per kilogram." Su Cheng is not talking about a small amount. From wholesale to retail, the difference in natural gas per kilogram is more than 20 cents. A bottle of 15 kilograms of liquefied gas makes more than 3 yuan, but it has to be delivered to users' homes. It was also a very good and able to make a fortune in 1990.

However, retail profits are greatly affected by sales volume, and there is a certain limit. A kilogram of Sucheng costs 100 to 200 yuan, and a ton of 100 yuan is required. After a few thousand tons per month, the price increase alone will cost tens of millions of yuan.

Silang's math is average, and he calculated the calculations in the notebook and said strikingly: "Then we have to prepare at least 10 million. But where can we buy it and store it?"

One ton of liquefied gas can hold 80 cylinders, and one thousand tons of liquefied gas requires 80,000 cylinders. This thing is expensive and has little goods, so it cannot be used as a means of bulk reserve. In liquefied gas stations, there are often large liquefied gas tanks or even underground storage areas, but Dahua Gas Company does not have such conditions.

Su Cheng said lightly: "Rent a boat."

...

Two days later, a 20,000-ton liquefied petroleum gas ship quietly docked at Qingdao Port.

In China in 1990, LNG ships were rare, but there were many LNG ships. This is because LPG can be pressurized liquefied at room temperature, while natural gas must be liquefied at extremely low temperatures. In this way, LPG ships can be built with carbon steel, while LNG ships have to be built with nickel alloy or aluminum alloy, which has increased a lot of costs and has a lot of rent.

The price of renting an LPG ship from PetroChina is similar to renting an oil tanker.

Of course, renting a boat itself is not cheap, and it has to invest hundreds of thousands of yuan. However, Silang felt excited and stood on the liquefied gas boat, proudly looking at the clever second-hand dealer, riding a tricycle and pulling a liquefied gas tank, queuing on the dock.

With a 1 cent increase, a 15-kilogram liquefied gas tank can earn one or five cents. If you pull 4 to 6 bottles at a time, you will earn 4 to 6 yuan.

The liquefied gas ships from Jiahua liquefied gas station to the dock can travel five or six times a day. There is still a queue. Therefore, in just two days, the "taxi" drivers stopped doing business, and drove their own foot or electric tricycles to and from the liquefied gas station. Some truck drivers also borrowed the neighborhood's liquefied gas tank to do this business.

Seeing that the planned liquefied gas that he had worked hard to get was delivered to the liquefied gas ship in Sucheng without limit, Mr. Liu was angry and anxious. He originally felt that even if Sucheng acquired it, it would not be able to buy it much. Just like other liquefied gas stations in the city, the reserves were limited and they could not be acquired without limit.

He didn't expect that in order to purchase liquefied gas, Sucheng rented a liquefied gas ship. Looking at the 20,000 tons of tonnage, Mr. Liu felt a toothache in the back groove.

Could it be that 20,000 tons of liquefied gas is really filling the ship?

Mr. Liu is not so courageous yet. What if Sucheng rents another boat? Now this boat can be driven elsewhere and make a fortune at an unplanned price.

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu had the urge to stop selling immediately.

Wu Qiang was also scared, and looked at Mr. Liu's face and said, "Or what you are doing is to make a plan based on the ticket supply."

In 1990, the liquefied gas from residents was always supplied by tickets, and some places were gas tickets. Some places were small liquefied gas books, which stipulated the quantity and price of purchasing liquefied gas. The planned liquefied gas is the price when there are gas tickets or gas costs. In addition, state-owned enterprises and government agencies can also obtain some planned liquefied gas.

However, since liquefied gas is a shortage of materials, not only private enterprises and individual businesses, but also ordinary residents do not have enough gas tickets, so they have to buy some unplanned liquefied gas to supplement it. Or they use both coal stoves and liquefied gas, which invisibly causes trouble and increases the price.

Only when Mr. Liu opens the liquefied gas in the supply plan, people will feel that liquefied gas is cheap and natural gas is expensive. If they are supplied by tickets, it will be no different from before, and it is equivalent to a fall of defeat.

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu was upset for a while, and thought for a while, and then came up with another plan, saying, "In this way, we need to make a record of the ticket, but it is not restricted to ordinary people to buy it. Pay more attention to those who buy more. Once you confirm that you are reselling liquefied gas, you will find it and refuse to sell it, and give Dahua Gas a bottom to remove the firewood."

Wu Qiang's plan was a good idea, so he quickly arranged it.

As a result, the smart second-deaven dealers borrowed a large number of air tickets and air certificates without hesitation, and some even borrowed them with money. How could people who could borrow liquefied gas tanks not be able to borrow the tickets?

Not only has the shipment volume of Jiahua Gas not only has not declined, but is also rising day after day.

Just when Mr. Liu was at a loss, the liquefied gas station's turnaround completely destroyed his plan. More than 20 gas filling stations in the city had provided the liquefied gas in the plan as if Jiahua didn't have any money, and it took a generous month. However, with the emergence of the liquefied gas ship of Dahua Gas, everyone understood that good days would not last long.

So, they either secretly sold liquefied gas other than their reserves, or sold them to other places, tearing a small hole into tattered cotton wool.

Jiahua Company lasted for a few more days. On June 5, Wu Qiang reluctantly went to Huangneng International and asked Tang Li to come forward to make peace.

Looking at Wu Qiang's depressed look, Tang Li was glad and sighed: "Dong Su went to Guangdong three days ago. If you come two days late, I will go too."

"You go, what are you going to do?"

"Like the model of Shandong, the pipelines of Guangzhou, Fo*shan, and Dong*guan were laid by Dahua Gas Company. Shenzhen and Hui*zhou were handed over to us. Only then did the old classmate Wanyuan join and jointly develop it." Tang Li's tone was not like showing off, but more like emotion.

Wu Qiang was ecstatic: "Shenzhen and Huizhou, how can you hand over such a good place?"

"It's close to Hong Kong, and there is already pipeline gas. Director Su said that he would speed up development so that there would be no more Chinese gas companies coming in. Dahuapu's main pipeline is upstream, and the entrance pipeline is for us, and both parties will share the funds." Tang Li said of Director Su, and he was sincere.

Wu Qiang could not think of such a result no matter what, he was stunned and didn't know what to say. Is he regretting or lamenting his fate?
