Chapter 157 Retiring from Difficulties
Mr. Wang Yingdong, the new vice president of Sucheng's delicious hospitality, and Zhang Rongsheng of Evergreen Group, tried to convince them again.
The increase of 10 million US dollars is not as simple as the initial financing of 45 million, which shows that the budget and investment are inaccurate. Therefore, Wang Yingdong is cautious like a monkey who has just been hit. He keeps observing and looking for troubles, and never does anything like signing.
After two days of grinding, Wang Yingdong did not agree to the pure financing plan, but proposed a sharing plan. Naturally, Su Cheng could not agree in any case, and the two sides were deadlocked.
On January 15, only 10 days before the bidding, Wang Sheng flew to the United Arab Emirates.
Seeing Su Cheng, who was picked up at the plane, Wang Sheng said helplessly, "Su Dong, you are roasting me on the fire. Suddenly there are 10 million more, which is still the original conditions... This can't be done. The old man on the board of directors keeps me and scolds me every day.
"It's not good for both sides if it's been delayed for a long time." Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder, hugged him and said, "10 million more. We have new information. This is also a good thing."
"What is the source of the information?"
"Of course I can't tell you."
"How can I report this? 10 million US dollars, it's not 10 million Taiwan dollars.
"You only need to bear 5 million US dollars, and the remaining 5 million will be borne by Evergreen Group. Right, Mr. Zhang Rongsheng? Su Cheng turned his head and asked.
Zhang Rongsheng's gray hair was white, and he smiled like a fox and said, "If Formosa Plastics Group is willing to increase the amount of borrowing, we, Evergreen Group, can indeed consider this. However, Mr. Su Cheng's conditions should be relaxed.
"Your argument is no different from Wang Yingdong. It can't be because of 5 million dollars. Let the bidding be scrapped." Su Cheng knew that they had made a lot of preliminary preparations and gave up at this time. Not only does he feel sorry, but also Taiwan Plastics and Evergreen are equally sorry.
Wang Sheng said, "What if you ask for 10 million dollars now and then 10 million?" Before bidding. Maybe there will be twists and turns.
"55 million is just in case, how can there be a fool who pays so much money?"
"As long as there is a fool, we will fail to bid." Wang Sheng spoke faster.
Su Cheng laughed and said, "You also said it was our bidding. I will try my best to save money, but the Japanese already know that our capital is 45 million yuan, saying that it is 45.5 million yuan for bidding. I don't think it's just a scare. 1. If we don't prepare, they may really get stuck in our necks.
"How did you know that they would not bid with 55.5 million?"
Su Cheng glanced at Wang Sheng and said, "I borrowed money from you. It is so difficult to increase by 5 million, and the money of Ito Trading Company is not blown by the wind, which has been confirmed by their president and major shareholders. Increase the funds. It will only be more difficult, not to mention the inexplicable increase.
Wang Sheng also laughed. He opened his notebook and said, "Then how much do you think the bidding money will rise?"
Su Cheng thought for a moment 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 gently, looked at both sides, and whispered, "I won't admit this matter. You report to your board of directors, and you can't mention this news, otherwise I will blame you if the bidding fails."
"If you don't report to the board of directors, how can they approve it!" Wang Sheng said urgently, "If you don't waste money to bid, I guess it will be easier to accept."
Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Your board of directors can't even keep the amount of your loan, but let the competitor Ito Trading Company know. Today, you reported that Dahua Industry knows the exact bidding amount, and Ito Trading Company will know tomorrow."
"But are you sure that this accurate information will be fake news from the United Arab Emirates?" Zhang Rongsheng is old and refined. From his own point of view, he said, "If your source tells you the accurate information, is actually adding some amount to the real news, then other countries will get the number you bid for, so that it will add up step by step..."
"Which is more important than the bidding of millions of dollars compared with 18 million tons of liquefied natural gas?"
Wang Sheng covered his head and said, "It's okay if you don't mention this. When I mention this, my brain hurts."
After all, Wang Sheng and Zhang Rongsheng's faces have improved. Their job is to make sure that Su Cheng did not spend money indiscriminately, not to prohibit him from spending money. Otherwise, just stop borrowing directly.
As long as the bidding can be guaranteed to be successful, and the bidding amount does not exceed the number of second place, they will do nothing.
At this moment, I heard that there was a definite source in Sucheng, and Wang Sheng and Zhang Rongsheng had already secretly laughed in their hearts.
The three of them walked out of the airport building. As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, they met the vehicle of the Chinese embassy. It was Kang Qingfeng, Zhang Haochang, Gan Keyi and the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Except for the leader, the other three people looked ugly, as if they had been ** in a sandstorm.
"Where are you going?" When he met him head-on, Su Cheng had to say hello.
"Gone back to China." Kang Qingfeng is haggard like an uncle who stays up late for three days and three nights.
Su Cheng was surprised and asked, "Why did you go back to China at this time?"
"Report back to China." Gan Keyi rarely spoke, and at this time, he was also full of grief and indignation: "Whether you can come back depends on the superior's meaning."
Only the team leader smiled and said, "Actually, we can go abroad to study. Don't we know all kinds of international bidding now? Next time we bid, we can do better. There is a big gap between us and foreign developed countries, and it is meaningless to bid reluctantly.
When he said this, he looked at Su Cheng and said it. All Chinese people who understand the bidding regard Dahua Industry as an uncompetent guy, and he is no exception.
Zhang Haochang couldn't help it again and hummed, "Next time? We didn't even submit the tender. 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. Maybe it's the psychology of "not seeking merit but no merit", maybe it's the psychology of picking up cheap and not achieving success, or maybe it's because the domestic oil shortage has not yet appeared...
Su Cheng had no choice but to do anything about this and comforted him, "Since there is still a chance to report, let's seize it. If you can talk to them, there is still time."
"Maybe." Kang Qingfeng smiled miserably and said, "Actually, we think things too simply. If Dahua Industry leads the bidding, it's better to talk based on your shareholder status. Now, the country is basically..."
"Cough! Pay attention to diplomatic etiquette. Reminder of the leader not to miss the opportunity.
Kang Qingfeng looked at the two Taiwanese around Sucheng and found that their clothes and manners were not like mainlanders at all. He thought that Sucheng had found two overseas Chinese, so he changed his tone and said, "Sinopec is only willing to bear 2 million tons of liquefied natural gas at most, and it is 10% lower than the market price I went to several power companies. They had no interest in using natural gas to generate electricity, and they had no interests. It was fundamentally different. Even if the leaders of the ministry went there, they asked for a minimum price reduction of 20%. Such conditions are worse than those of the Japanese, and we can't even get an oil concession.
The leader coughed twice and said, "Each unit has its own work arrangement. We can't impose our arrangement on other units. Moreover, Japan is more developed than us, and the conditions they give are of course better.
"That's a Japanese power company. In order to have a better social impact, resources bear a 20% increase in cost." Gan Keyi looks for information every day, and he is also annoyed with the team leader.
"So they are developed countries." The leader looked at Su Cheng with a smile and said, "We should go. The boarding time is almost here."
Su Cheng shook his head secretly. China's conditions are indeed worse than those of other countries, and it is more necessary to unite at this time. He asked one more question, "What about the economic agreement on agricultural products?"
"The Ministry of Agriculture did not agree." Zhang Haochang and others left dejectedly.
Su Cheng is also speechless. It is not surprising that the Ministry of Agriculture does not approve such economic cooperation for countries with scarce foreign exchange to have high import prices and agricultural products that cannot fill their stomachs.
Of course, even if there is appropriate economic cooperation, without strong promotion, the ministry is probably too lazy to approve it, which is the case in any country.
In the final analysis, there is something wrong with the deployment of the Ministry of Energy.
Su Cheng saw them enter the terminal, and they were also a little lazy.
Two days later, Liu Bing made a special phone call and informed him: "The Ministry of Energy has terminated the work of the bidding group. All the previously signed agreements are also invalid.
"It's only a week before the bidding. It's a pity to give up now.
"If you don't get the oil concession, you can't bid. If you quit at this time, you can still save a little s decent."
"De decent? If you quit like this, what's the s decent? Although it was expected, Su Cheng still had the pain of the rabbit dead fox. If 5% does not put him to death, the first choice of Dahua Industry will be the joint bidding of the three parties. At that time, he had to bear not only the pressure of bidding, but also the pressure from the upper levels of partnerships and ministries.
"If economic cooperation is carried out and the final bidding fails, who will bear the responsibility?" Liu Bing was also in a bad mood. When Su Cheng digested the news, he said, "Now, you are the only bidding enterprise in China. Do a good job."
Su Cheng was dumb and said, "Ministry and three central enterprises, I guess you don't want me to work hard."
"Of course they want you to lose, but I support you in private." Liu Bing didn't hide it and said, "Now, everyone is waiting to see your jokes. When I go to the department, I can hear them say strange things, such as overescrely making promises and so on. If you are afraid, it's not too late to go back now... Otherwise, there is only one way to go.
