Chapter 294 Environmental Standards
"How much equipment is Dahua Industrial Group preparing to purchase in China?" Director Mao was very interested. The Development and Reform Commission where he works is developing and reforming the domestic economy. A multi-billion dollar project is possible if it is operated properly, it is possible to promote industries in one or two provinces.
"We have made preliminary analysis and are preparing to purchase orders of about 1 billion to 2.5 billion yuan."
"1 billion to 2.5 billion yuan, the project has not started yet, how do you determine it?" Mr. Xuan said in the tone of an industry insider: "Formosa Plastics is an internationally renowned enterprise. What equipment do they purchase have their own ideas. I think there is no need to force domestic production."
Mr. Xuan looked at everyone in a slant way.
But his position is clear. Based on industry barriers, if a private enterprise in Dahua Industrial enters the petrochemical industry, can the provinces and cities also rebuild their companies and enter the petrochemical industry? Wouldn't China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, which had finally been integrated, fall apart?
Director Mao waved his hand and said, "Listen to both sides, then listen to it. Director Su, do the order you mentioned include the current methanol base?"
Dahua's methanol base is under construction, which is different from the cakes drawn.
Su Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Our Dahua Industrial Group has been domestically produced from beginning to end, and now it has released a lot of orders."
As he spoke, he leaned over and picked up the briefcase on the ground.
The briefcase was pure black, full of swelling, thicker than the dictionary. Su Cheng took out hundreds of pages of documents from it and handed them over to Director Mao.
Director Mao opened it in surprise and saw that the purchase list inside not only included the types of equipment ordered, but also had performance and price comparisons of similar equipment at home and abroad, and required equipment updates or indicators to be updated. In addition, the purchase list also includes several different construction paths, and different equipment is listed according to time and expressed in different colors, which is obvious.
A document was bound into five parts in different categories. Director Mao then distributed it to others, and Wang Yongqing also got one.
The document is not a purely equipment ordering book. It is a quantitative analysis of the entire ethylene project. After only reading a few numbers, the few leaders couldn't speak.
In China in 1991, the so-called analysis is the empirical judgment of leaders. Quantitative analysis is just a concept in China, and when large state-owned companies have not carried out this work, let alone township entrepreneurs, no company's management understands these things. Even abroad, for companies outside the Fortune 500, quantitative analysis is also a new thing.
Although Wang Yongqing is old, he is familiar with the report. After comparing a few figures he knows, he said strangely: "You can't collect such comprehensive information in a day or two, right? How long has it been used by Dahua?"
"It took more than a year." Su Cheng was acting normally.
Wang Yongqing's eyes narrowed. More than a year ago, the Haicang plan was in full swing. Who would have thought of replacing Formosa Plastics?
Others also thought of similar questions, and their eyes changed when they looked at Su Cheng.
This guy is simply deliberate.
Mr. Xuan opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked: "You started analyzing Haicang's plan more than a year ago? Is it too early?"
"If you can't make the Haicang plan, it's okay to make some parts." Su Chengyan said insincerely: "In short, ethylene engineering is a future development direction of Dahua. If it's not the Haicang plan, there will always be other plans."
"I know the details and Dahua's preparations are indeed sufficient." Wang Yongqing put down the document, but could not see the joy and anger.
He had a strange feeling about Sucheng and Dahua. On the one hand, the relationship between Dahua and Formosa Plastics was no longer as close as when bidding for oil fields. On the other hand, he also praised Sucheng's vision and perseverance.
The demand for petrochemical products in mainland China is increasing. A large number of building materials and plastic products means that there is an increasing demand for ethylene. The development of primary industries such as greenhouse agriculture has also created new demand for petrochemicals. It can be said that in the past three to five years, China's demand for ethylene products will double. If it cannot be produced in China, it will have to be imported from countries such as Singapore and Malaysia...
Formosa Plastics proposed to convert exports to domestic sales, which are both delaying time and real factors.
Wang Yongqing has considered whether to continue Haicang's plan more than once.
"Bang."
Director Mao closed the planning letter and asked: "So, Dahua really has a plan for the order of RMB 1 billion? What are your requirements for the order company?"
"As long as it is a Chinese company who is willing to cooperate in the attempt to localize, you can participate. Local state-owned enterprises, or Sinopec and PetroChina, can do it, and there is no problem with private enterprises. In addition to orders, we can also help them carry out technological transformation." Su Cheng said it very easily. Dahua Laboratory has expanded to a level that ordinary companies can't imagine. They can not only do research by themselves, but also have the ability to output technology.
Others did not realize the strength Su Cheng accidentally revealed.
Several people were thinking about Sucheng's meaning. This was not the first time that it was PetroChina, Sinopec, Formosa Plastics Group, or Director Mao himself had dealt with Sucheng. They had a fair share of the situation, but many times they still suffered losses at the hands of Sucheng.
These characters would not consider that Su Cheng knew the direction of history at all, so they could only secretly guess that Su Cheng had a good analysis of the general trend.
In this way, Sucheng proposed a new plan, and the first thing they had to consider was whether there were any traps.
No one else spoke, but General Manager Xuan didn't want the meeting to continue. He coughed twice and said, "Since Formosa Plastics is going to go back and prepare, let's go back and prepare too. What's the point of wasting waste."
"Chairman Wang hasn't answered me yet." Su Cheng stopped him and asked again: "Chairman Wang, will Formosa Plastics purchase equipment in China?"
"Chairman Wang said just now, I will consider it." Wang Keling stared at her eyes.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Formosa Plastics has been preparing for Haicang plan for two or three years, and has been preparing for Haicang for more than ten years. I don't believe you have not considered the equipment issue? Could it be that you will only make the initial preparations after signing the Haicang plan contract?"
This question pointed out that Wang Yongqing could no longer be labeled as a hat, and said proactively: "Formosa Plastics has purchased a lot of technical information, I remember that there are more than 20 million..."
"27 million US dollars." Wang Keling added.
Wang Yongqing nodded and said, "Look, the $27 million is for the equipment planned in Haicang, so we are not without preparation, but if we decide in the end, I can only say that there is no."
"I feel relieved when Mr. Wang said this. It seems that Dahua Industrial has caught up with Formosa Plastics Group." Su Cheng seemed to be really relieved.
Many people find it strange. So what if you catch up with Formosa Plastics Group?
Mr. Xuan laughed secretly and was too lazy to talk anymore. Formosa Plastics Group can do the Haicang plan, and the political and economic factors are the same. It is not a company that can do the Haicang project with billions of dollars. Now it seems that it must have several conditions: Fortune 500 companies in the world, Taiwanese companies, petrochemical companies, and when China is blocked by the Western world...
Adding these conditions together can only be Formosa Plastics Group. President Xuan is not active in Haicang's plan. On the one hand, he did not see the future of Haicang's plan, and on the other hand, he understood too many political links, which were so numerous that it deterred his judgment.
After all, Su Cheng was young and his passionate light rushed forward.
He also saw the difficulties of the Haicang Plan, but what else can be done in the petroleum and petrochemical industry in China besides the difficulties?
PetroChina and Sinopec are also the treatment of royal relatives. If you want to find food behind their butts, you must first castrate yourself by wielding your knife.
Mr. Xuan is used to being a royal relative, so he naturally finds it difficult to understand Su Cheng's psychology.
Su Cheng and others thought for a few seconds, raised their voices a little, and asked again: "Chairman Wang, what environmental standards are Formosa Plastics going to use to make the Haicang plan?"
"We will determine the standard when the equipment is selected." Wang Keling answered again. He could not let Wang Yongqing answer.
In the petrochemical industry, environmental protection is a very embarrassing proposition. Even petrochemical plants in the 21st century will inevitably cause pollution. The legendary zero-pollution chemical factory does exist, but it is a mixture of high funds and high technology. If a petrochemical factory does not have a slight pollution, the chance of its loss is almost 100%.
Moreover, petrochemical plants have problems with upgrading. A petrochemical base built for billions of dollars cannot be abandoned in ten or twenty years. It often takes thirty or fifty years. During this period, the application of new technologies will inevitably have an impact on the overall environmental protection technology.
Of course, it is still possible to build a petrochemical factory with high environmental standards. European companies can often do so due to heavy taxes and subsidies, making it relatively difficult for petrochemical factories in the United States, Japan and third world countries.
Formosa Plastics is no exception. Their environmental standards do not match their profitability. Everyone knows these secrets in the industry, but no one will raise them.
But Su Cheng must raise it, and he asked: "What is the environmental protection standard of Haicang Plan, which is lighter than Liu?"
"Of course it's the same." Wang Keling answered affirmatively.
Sucheng said "Oh" and said, "But I heard that many residents of Taiwan Island oppose the Six Lights with low environmental standards?"
Wang Keling reluctantly said: "They just don't understand."
"So, if I get the environmental design book of the Six Light Plan with the same standards as the Haicang Plan and hand it over to experts for analysis, will I get a conclusion with high environmental standards or ordinary environmental standards?" Su Cheng knew no, because Formosa Plastics is famously stingy, especially in fixed asset investment, which can save money almost as much as possible. This attitude can do a good job in the enterprise, but cannot do a good job in environmental protection.
Wang Keling looked at Director Mao for help.
However, Director Mao’s expression was very focused. He sniffed something different from Su Cheng’s words.
