Chapter 290 10% Hope

After all, Mr. Zhou did not make up his mind and gave everyone a time to breathe and react.

After the big leaders and Tai Suzhong left, Director Mao and the Chinese business people stayed in the living room. The leaders above are all in retreat, and only he, a half-large leader, is in charge of practice. Facing the "familiar" Su Cheng, Director Mao asked helplessly, "Do you really want to make 700,000 tons of ethylene by yourself?"

Su Cheng said with a hippie smile, "If Taiwan Plastics doesn't do it, we will take over the Haicang plan, which is also beneficial to the country."

He said that he would take over the Haicang plan, not make ethylene independently. Su Cheng has always had the impulse to build a petrochemical base independently, but he has always talked about the Haicang plan because of the preferential policies of the Haicang plan. The Haicang Plan was in a relatively special period. It was promised by the big boss himself, taking into account economic and political issues, and Formosa Plastics obtained so many ** policies. With such a discount, only the Haicang Plan, without a score sign, leaving the Haicang Plan, this discount will also disappear. It is impossible for any domestic or foreign company to get it again, and Sinopec will not.

It can be said that good things belong to the category of rare tasks. As long as someone receives it, no matter if it is completed or not, there is no second chance.

For a petrochemical base with an investment of billions of dollars, any discount involving a percentage is extremely rare, not to mention all kinds of large discounts in Haicang. Therefore, Sinopec and Formosa Plastics will hesitate.

They are not only reluctant to give up the discount of Haicang, but also afraid of the huge investment.

Actually, on the other hand. It is precisely because of the huge and frightening investment that there is such a discount. In another 10 years, [China] China is not so short of foreign exchange, so that when large state-owned enterprises can finance foreign exchange domestically, the preferential treatment will be reduced accordingly.

Su Cheng made a malicious conjecture that if Formosa Plastics delayed for another 10 years, it might be able to borrow billions of dollars from the Bank of China. It's just an empty-handed white wolf. Others don't know the general trend of the future, and they can't see it so far. But everyone can see the current situation clearly.

Liu Bing leaned back. I'm going to watch the war between Dahua and Sinopec 2.0. Director Mao also looked at General Manager Xuan.

Mr. Xuan showed a lack of confidence and asked, "Is it possible for the central government to approve the export to domestic sales plan of Formosa Plastics?"

"It's hard to say, there is indeed a chance." Director Mao smiled irresponsibly. This is really not something he can decide.

Speaking of which, Mr. Xuan's administrative level is one level higher than that of Director Mao, and his voice is also not weak in oil policy.

But in the Haicang plan, both of them are relatively helpless.

It's too big!

Mr. Xuan pondered, and finally smiled bitterly and said, "Once Formosa Plastics withdraws, Sinopec is willing to take over the Haicang plan."

He was forced up by Su Cheng. We can't let private enterprises do the largest petrochemical project in China. At that time, will the Sinopec industry chain listen to Sinopec or Dahua Industry? Even from the perspective of power. Mr. Xuan can't let Su Cheng get the Haicang plan.

Compared with a month ago, the attitudes of both sides have improved significantly. Director Mao said with satisfaction, "So, are you all willing to take over the Haicang plan? Of course, it is on the premise of the withdrawal of Formosa Plastics.

"Yes." Mr. Xuan answered quickly, but he was a little depressed. He had doubts about the decision of Formosa Plastics and [Zhongzhong]. On the other hand, all aspects involved in the 700,000 tons of ethylene project really made him afraid of difficulties. As long as you think about the investment of billions of dollars, you can understand its difficulties.

Such a large piece of fat was comparable to the provincial government expenditure in 1991, which was still the US dollar.

Su Cheng also nodded quickly. And he said, "No matter who will give the Haicang plan to in the end, Dahua will continue the petrochemical base."

It is likely that Sinopec will finally get the Haicang plan. Su Cheng knows this, and everyone knows it.

Sinopec can be the direct son, which is completely different from the illegitimate nephew like Dahua.

Director Mao admired Su Cheng's tenacity and nod, "If Dahua can't do the Haicang plan, he can continue to do the methanol base."

In his capacity, such a promise is very good.

Turning around, Director Mao said, "Any company interested in taking over the Haicang plan must make a timetable. Dahua once had one, and he had to give me another one, and so did other companies... If it's okay, that's it for today.

Everyone said goodbye with their own thoughts.

When he went out, Liu Bing deliberately walked beside Su Cheng and waited for others to disperse before asking, "What is Dahua going to do?"

Su Cheng paused for a short time and said, "We are going to spend a few months to determine the ethylene equipment and prepare for installation and commissioning. Once the center makes a decision, complete the large ethylene project as quickly as possible. We previously promised two plans, the joint venture will be completed in 1993 and the sole proprietorship will be completed in 95. Now, even if it is a sole proprietorship, it is possible to complete the construction in 1993.

"You should know that Sinopec can also promise to be completed in 1993." Liu Bing said meaningfully, "Commitment is one thing. After the project is got, there may be all kinds of things."

The commitment to the leader is sometimes heavier than Mount Tai, and sometimes lighter than a feather. The focus is on how to explain how to compensate and how to replace it.

7 billion US dollars in investment projects, explaining that compensation and substitution can be endless.

Su Cheng said clearly, "Dahua's promise is real, and I think the above will also take this into account."

Sinopec can make promises at will. If Dahua makes a promise and can't fulfill it, I'm afraid the situation will become complicated.

Liu Bing shook his head slightly and said, "This is where you are having a hard time. There are many mothers-in-law and aunts in Sinopec, and there are also practical problems. However, it is also beneficial to have many mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and there are more people who support them. You should understand that if there is no major change, even if you have sufficient funds, Dahua Industry is less than 10% likely to get the Haicang plan alone.

"Dahua will turn 10% of hope into 100%." Su Cheng suddenly replaced the problem of reality with idealistic language.

Old Mr. Liu was stunned, then smiled and said, "It seems that you are prepared, so I'll wait and see."

Su Cheng nod silently. He had expected the difficulties for a long time, and from a personal point of view, this may be the most difficult one.

The initial design area of the Haicang plan is 100 square kilometers. In addition to large oil refining and large ethylene projects, there are also power stations and ocean-going fleets, as well as a large number of downstream factories. It is equivalent to flattening Hong Kong Island to build an industrial base. The whole project is larger than the largest real estate project in China, and more difficult than the tallest skyscraper in China.

Back to Dahua Industry, Su Cheng convened a board of directors and announced that he had entered the "construction plan".

Calculate the time, and the plan has been prepared for a year. Members of the Dahua Department have participated in the production of the plan more than once. At this time, there is not much doubt, so they are involved in the construction.

Dahua Petrochemical Company turned slowly and firmly like a sophisticated instrument.

Su Cheng knows that there are only three ways to determine the ownership of the Haicang Plan: louder than whose voice; more than who is fully prepared; more than the pie falling from the sky...

Compared with the voice, Dahua, a private enterprise, can't beat Sinopec, a central enterprise. Compared with the pie falling from the sky, Sinopec, which is dozens of times larger than the scale of Dahua, is dozens of times more likely to receive it.

The only chance is to prepare.

Sinopec will not make every effort to prepare before Formosa Plastics is determined to withdraw.

Although everyone has seen the delay of Formosa Plastics, how can things in the world be made clear? As long as Formosa Plastics does not make a final decision, the land of Haicang will still be theirs, and the preferential policies are also theirs.

Mr. Xuan can sleep in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse every day, and can go to the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Council to lobby every day, but he never dares to spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan for preliminary preparations.

If he loses the money, he can't explain it clearly.

Dahua naturally does not have such scruples. As long as Su Cheng insists, it doesn't matter if Dahua is bankrupt.

Of course, the risk is still huge. Even if Su Cheng knows history, God knows whether Wang Yongqing will tremble and make the opposite decision.

In the countless mixture of emotions, Dahua finally decided on BASF's 800,000 tons of ethylene equipment.

Compared with Casali, they have a better government relationship in China. It can also slightly make up for the shortcomings of Dahua Industry.

Mid-February. The first batch of 50 experts from BASF entered the training base of Dahua Industry.

According to the advance contract, Dahua needs to pay $1,000 per expert per day, and reimburse the round-trip air ticket, as well as the accommodation during the [Zhongzhong] period. It is equivalent to a net expenditure of $50,000 per day and $1.5 million per month.

But this is just the beginning. Subsequent training materials and early equipment will only become more and more expensive.

The budget of Dahua Strategy Department starts to increase by 5 million US dollars per month, and the total investment in a year will exceed 100 million US dollars.

If the Haicang plan did not fall into the hands of Dahua Industry in the end, the US dollar would be almost wasted.

In 1991, business opportunities were everywhere, with countless things that earned 1 billion yuan with 100 million yuan and 10 billion yuan with 100 million yuan. There are also different opinions within Dahua, and more media have begun to pay attention to Dahua's "bet".

Sucheng is unswervingly implementing the "preliative plan".

Large ethylene is a real banknote printing machine. Participating in other industries may earn several times the annual profit, but it will enter the industry stagnation for up to ten years. The petrochemical industry will not. It will keep spitting out hundreds of millions of bills, and it will increase as inflation increases. Looking at the history of Formosa Plastics and Sinopec, you can find that the profits of the same capital are much higher than that of casinos.

In this world, only a few industries have such a high capital and technical threshold. But as long as you cross the threshold, you will see the vault.
