Chapter 152 Greater Taipei
Sucheng arrived at Taipei Taoyuan Airport and immediately received a strict customs inspection.
Two customs officers, who were five or three thick, touched him up and down, opened all his luggage and carefully figured it out, and finally sent him into the office with his things. Li Wei was also taken to another house for a thorough investigation.
Su Cheng had expected that he made a gesture to call Li Wei and waited calmly.
In a sip, the door opens.
A Taiwanese female official in a fiery red dress stepped into the room.
This made Su Cheng, who was ready, raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked directly at the other party - a straight red skirt, highlighting a good figure from top to bottom. His thin lips and willow eyebrows were full of confidence and pride, and they could instantly hold the man's eyes...
"Why, have you never seen a short skirt?" The female official sat down, and she was bolder and more unscrupulous than Su Cheng's eyes.
Su Cheng laughed and said, "Yesterday, when I had dinner in a restaurant in Abu Dhabi, there were only a few girls, wearing skirts of about the same length as you. At that time, I should have given more tips, which was a little strange. What's your name?"
"Lin Jinqian" red dress girl is still confident and unmoved, "What's the purpose of coming to Taipei?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Go to Taiwan Plastics and Evergreen Shipping Company to talk about business."
Formosa Plastics is a petrochemical enterprise, which can produce 400,000 tons of polypropylene and other products every year. Evergreen Group is a world-class shipping company and became the world's largest container shipping company in 1985.
Lin Jinqian also smiled and said, "Oh, both of them are the top ten conglomerates in China. Why didn't they pick you up?"
"Maybe I'm still on the way. I'm in a hurry and once called their public relations department. Or the sales department. Or the president's department... You know, time is tight, so I asked Li Wei to help me make a reservation. You can ask him." After saying that, Su Cheng pointed and said, "If you can take the initiative to inform Formosa Plastics and Evergreen Group. I think the misunderstanding will be resolved soon.
"We will. However, isn't it less troublesome to contact by phone or meet in other places? The dress smiled seriously and said, "In addition, I have to make people notice that you are still a mainland official, which is not in line with our policy."
"I'm not a pure official, I just have a certain political position in China. I am also the owner of a private enterprise. China does not allow cadres to do business. Su Cheng asked again, "When can I enter the country?"
"Unless you prove it, or let the people of the consortium pick you up."
Su Cheng frowned and said, "Then please call me."
"We will." Lin Jinqian didn't mean to move, but said, "I read your entry documents. Financing and investing in oil fields in the United Arab Emirates? It sounds a little unreliable.
China in 1988. It is a standard third world country, and the fantasy third world leader has never been obtained.
Distrust of Lin Jinqian. Su Cheng was not surprised, but said, "You can tell Evergreen and Formosa Plastics Group that Dahua Industry has obtained the oil concession of the United Arab Emirates. If they don't want to come, I will leave Taiwan immediately."
"Oil concession? Is it awesome?" Lin Jinqian signaled back, and someone went to make a phone call.
Su Cheng glanced at her long legs and said, "We are authorized by the United Arab Emirates to participate in the oilfield bidding in the United Arab Emirates. At present, there are no more than 10 enterprises and countries in the world that have obtained oil concessions from the United Arab Emirates. There is no one in Taiwan, and there is only Consortium, they are busy playing with real estate now.
"It's quite similar." Lin Jinqian looked up and smiled and said, "Even so, our policy does not allow you to bid jointly. One-way and indirect are the principles."
Su Cheng laughed and said, "They want to bid jointly. I won't agree. There is no such a good thing in the world. This time it's just financing. As for the principle of your theory, one-way only allows Taiwan to invest in the mainland, right? What does it matter if I don't invest in Taiwan?
Lin Jinqian was stunned for a moment, and Liu Ye raised her eyebrows and said, "Even so, our company is not interested in your mainland project..."
"Oh, don't make a decision for us." Accompanied by the voice of the door.
Su Cheng turned his head, but two old men in suits came in.
"Who are you?" Lin Jinqian stood up uncomptuously. Bai Shengsheng's long legs and fiery red skirt made the two old men couldn't help saluting.
"We are the representative of Evergreen Group. I am Zhang Rongsheng, and this is Zhang Ronghui." Zhang Rongsheng explained to Lin Jinqian, turned his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Su Cheng, right? Sorry, we were going to pick you up at the airport, but we didn't expect you to be stuck at the customs office. I didn't receive the message until they called.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Lin Jinqian felt that she had been swept away and said, "I haven't finished asking yet."
"No, it's over." The customs officer with a shiny epaulette stared at Lin Jinqian and said, "Your work is over. Go back, go back..."
Compared with official position and status, red skirts, white thighs and so on are unreliable.
Lin Jinqian refused to go out with a stiff face.
Zhang Rongsheng smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Su, I apologize to you again. You are the distinguished guest of our Evergreen Group, that is, the distinguished guest of Taiwan. If anyone offends you, we will help you deal with it.
Taiwan has continued the official system and family system of the Republic of China. With the status of the top ten conglomerates of the Evergreen Group, it is like playing with the two customs officials.
The customs officer with a shiny epaulette was almost scared to pee and looked at Su Cheng with shining eyes. Lin Jinqian still held her head high, but her expression was even more unpleasant.
Su Cheng laughed.
Since he started bidding for oil, he has been full of all kinds of deception. Thinking about it before he spoke, he realized that Zhang Rongsheng had created an opportunity for customs officials to offend him and then show his goodwill.
This is a bit like Cao Cao's style. "Borrowing your head can not only calm anger, but also give kindness.
Su Cheng didn't want to give the other party this opportunity. He shook his head and smiled and said, "Don't be harsh on beautiful women, Miss Lin, see you later."
He stepped out of the room by himself.
Lin Jinqian breathed a sigh of relief, but she was not happy. Su Cheng's attitude did not pay attention to her from beginning to end. This makes arrogant women very uncomfortable. But she could only watch Su Cheng leave. You can't go up and fight.
Zhang Rongsheng and Su Cheng side by side, said, "First of all, congratulations to Dahua Industry for obtaining the oil concession of the United Arab Emirates. Can you appreciate it?"
Sucheng took out the contract price. Show it to Zhang Rongsheng.
Zhang Rongsheng rudely took out his camera, took two photos in front of Su Cheng, and then threw the camera to Zhang Ronghui next to him. He laughed and said, "Let the chairman have a look. He is on a business trip in Jakarta."
Su Cheng nodded indifferently and said, "Can you make a decision?"
"Of course."
"I can only stay for one or two days, so I'll say it directly." Su Cheng organized the language and said, "Dahua Industry has obtained the oil concession of the United Arab Emirates. The preliminary work can be said to have ended smoothly. Next, we will enter the bidding process. Once won, a large amount of crude oil will be obtained in the next few years. In addition to some of these crude oil being processed and sold in the Middle East, most of them are to be transported. I belong to Evergreen Group to undertake transportation.
"That's great." There was no good expression on Zhang Rongsheng's face. Just ask, "How much is the annual transportation volume?"
Su Cheng looked ahead. He continued: "The location of the oil field is still highly confidential, according to our estimation. The reserves are more than 100 million tons, and the annual stable production capacity is more than 5 million tons.
"It's a big business." Zhang Rongsheng smiled, but took the initiative to say, "I heard that if there are really hundreds of millions of tons of oil fields, our Evergreen Group is willing to invest."
Any large group has the impulse to invest in oil fields, but the difference is whether there is an opportunity or not.
Zhang Rongsheng knew that Dahua Industry was short of funds, so he wanted to seize the opportunity and said, "We can take out 50 million US dollars, only 15% of the oil, or 50 million US dollars, and get 30% of the equity. It's up to you."
The United Arab Emirates is one of the few countries that allow foreign capital to exploit oil. In addition to the cost of economic assistance, the bidding for oilfield exploitation rights, the cost of exploration and the cost of exploitation, they will also share the extracted oil. In the 1980s, it was usually divided into 55 or 64.
Therefore, Zhang Rongsheng took 50 million US dollars to get 15% of the oil. Although the profit is not as good as that obtained by Sucheng, the risk has been reduced a lot due to the oil concession.
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and thought: This guy is really a Cao Cao.
It's just that at this time, the group of volunteers to be empty-handed white wolves, which is not Cao Cao is in power.
Su Cheng pretended to think, pondered for a moment, and said, "What I want is a loan. Joint ventures are not under consideration.
Zhang Rongsheng laughed and said, "The requirements of Formosa Plastics Group will not be reduced."
"What about 18 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year?" Su Cheng said lightly, "Flighting from Abu Dhabi is less than 10% of the average price."
Evergreen Group started in the shipping industry. Zhang Rongsheng thought about it carefully and realized: "1.8 million tons of liquefied natural gas can solve the big problem of the United Arab Emirates. So, is that why you got the oil concession?
"The underwriting of 1.8 million tons of liquefied natural gas, that's right. If the underwriting fails to complete, the exploitation right of the oil field will be automatically lost. So, are you still interested in taking shares?"
Zhang Rongsheng was completely stunned: "Do you really dare to underwrite it?"
"If it is that simple, Evergreen Group can also obtain an oil concession."
Although it is ironic, Zhang Rongsheng can't admit it. It's true. At the same time, he thought to himself: Maybe it's because of his family's big business that he becomes timid.
With a little hesitation, he could afford to let it go. He laughed and said, "Then let's talk about it with a loan. Can we ** carry the transportation of crude oil and natural gas and repay it with oil?"
"The transportation fee should be lower than the average price. It can be mortgaged with oil, but it can't be repaid with oil. I want a low-interest loan of $50 million. Shipping prices are very transparent, and similar quotations can be obtained in any major port in the world.
"Interest will be discussed later. In terms of the amount, 50 million US dollars must be exchanged for oil, and at the current price..."
"Does Evergreen Group also want to do the petrochemical industry?" Between the two, someone stood on the road and shouted.
"Wang Sheng?" Zhang Rongsheng looked pale.
Wang Sheng didn't accept his words. He reached over from afar and said with a smile, "Mr. Su Cheng, I'm Wang Sheng from Taiwan Plastics. Welcome to Taiwan."
