Chapter 298 Invest in the first
If you evaluate the security threat in the 21st century, plasticizers must be at the forefront. It is not only more toxic than dozens of times more than melamine, but also lasts for a long time. More than 30 years of use have created Taiwan's largest additive factory and has also "nurtaged" a generation.
Exposing this matter 20 years in advance will definitely save many beautiful men.
With the gradual exposure of details, the island of Taiwan fell into a panic. The media exclaimed the words "10 years of poisoning".
Because foreigners represented by Gore have linked environmental protection and food safety, the members of Taiwan Legislative Yuan naturally regard environmental protection regulations as a shortcut to the end of the south. As long as they put forward an environmental protection bill, they will get great attention first. If they do it well, it may be passed.
Some proposals have been merged, and some have merged others, which is more attractive to political baldwallers than carrion.
Formosa Plastics reluctantly got into trouble, and with the help of Suzhou City, it has become the object of prevention of the new environmental protection and safety bill. The first is their old factory. The earliest factory built by Formosa Plastics has been built for 30 years. According to Wang Yongqing's fishbone theory, the construction and maintenance of their factories are carried out with the lowest standards. The margin of safety and environmental protection is very small. It can only be said that they barely meet the targets of that year. Compared with the new indicators in the 1990s, they are Yes.
In contrast, the pressure on Dahua Industrial Group, which has built a new petrochemical base, is much less. Although they bought a lot of old equipment around the 1980s, Sucheng had expected a new direction of environmental protection, replaced some parts in advance, and modified some designs.
Even with the secret push of Formosa Plastics, the inspection team did not find any problems in Dahua Industry.
At this time, everyone just realized that in this environmental war. Dahua Industry seems to have the upper hand. They found plasticizers. Their factory passed strict inspection, while Formosa Plastics was involved in an environmental protection dispute.
If there is any reason to refute Formosa Plastics, that is, the inspection of Dahua Industry may not be strict enough.
It's stuck at this juncture. Dahua Industry has invited reporters and expert groups at home and abroad. Come and visit the methanol base.
At least 30 media and environmental protection delegations have come to Haicang, at least half of which are foreign media. Their interests are all in Dahua Environmental Protection Organization. The discovery of plasticizers is quite dramatic and most suitable for the media.
The methanol base, which has been built for more than a year, is shaded by trees, and it feels good for the first time.
Reporters are like jackals looking for bones, grabbing cameras and cameras and sniffing the smell of pollution everywhere.
Jin Yanrou, from CCTV, did not wander around, but stayed in the team. When Su Cheng was free, she walked over and said with a familiar smile, "Su Dong, you don't think so much media. You're here to sing praises, right?"
After Dahua Industrial successfully bid for the Setan Oilfield, Jin Yanrou interviewed Su Cheng. There was no special meeting between the two after that. Compared with the CCTV beauty in Sucheng's memory, Jin Yanrou, who has cut her short hair, looks more and more refreshing. There is also hidden sharpness and neatness.
The reason why it is hidden sharp and neat. It's because her tone is soft and reserved at this time.
Today's Sucheng is full of fighting spirit. But he laughed and said, "Isn't the media just singing praise? At least the domestic media are like this.
Jin Yanrou was shocked by his unscrupulous words and laughed and said, "If I record your words, Dahua Industry will not want to be praised."
"This is called control of the media, which is also wrong." Su Cheng smiled and said, "You are so domineering that it is easy to be misunderstood as a male reporter."
"It seems that you are ready to fight against the media?" Jin Yanrou looked around and said, "If you can find traces of pollution in the parent company of Dahua Environmental Protection Organization, it seems to be the real big news. I think that's why everyone came here.
Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Pollution is not the key."
Jin Yanrou couldn't help taking out the notebook record and said, "What's the key?"
"The money and manpower invested for pollution."
Jin Yanrou's eyes lit up and stopped writing and asked, "The environmental protection investment of the methanol base is very high?"
"It's very high, and it's not an excessive to say that it's the first in the world." Su Cheng said and raised his chin. His eyes swept over Jin Yanrou's towering chest and put it on a water-fetching reporter in front of him. It was a reporter from Hong Kong or Taiwan, wearing a vest with many pockets, squatting on the ground to tie shoelaces, and secretly collecting samples.
A staff member of Dahua Industry came out and stopped him from moving further, but did not confiscate the samples he had collected.
Seeing this scene, Jin Yanrou thought about it and said, "Dahua seems to be really confident."
"I think you want to say that you can't weigh yourself."
Jin Yanrou smiled generously and said, "I'm a reporter. I can't say that. However, Dahua's investment in environmental protection is the first in the world?
"It is the world's first environmental investment in the methanol industry, and I think there is no doubt about it. If you want to make public information, my office director has it. In order to build the current methanol base, we have made a lot of preparations..."
"Is there any data support?"
Su Cheng smiled, looked at Jin Yanrou's black eyes, and said, "You didn't ask the right question."
"What should I ask?"
"Why can Dahua Petrochemical Company be the first in the world in environmental protection investment in the methanol industry?"
Jin Yanrou understood a little. She clenched the pen in her hand and asked, "Why?"
"Because no one expected the increase in the price of methanol, they use the existing price to determine the cost of environmental protection. Naturally, they can't compare with me. Capitalists can't buy equipment at a loss. Su Cheng laughed out loud.
When he began to get involved in the petrochemical industry in order to consume natural gas, he had two choices. Gas head methanol or synthetic ammonia industry.
Synthetic ammonia is basically used for chemical fertilizers. China's fertilizer companies are very profitable and once had the ability to produce the richest man. However, Sucheng finally chose methanol, not only because of the fierce competition for synthetic ammonia, but also because he knew that methanol would have a huge increase in the early and middle of the 1990s. At its peak, the international price of methanol was double that of the normal year. This increase is rare for a basic industrial raw material, so Su Cheng can remember it. When he went to school. People only talked about the imbalance between supply and demand of methanol in the 1990s. However, it is rare to discuss the price of methanol itself.
Only when you are in the situation can you understand the significance of doubling the price of methanol. This is not a 10% increase in profits. Under normal circumstances, the profit of industrial raw materials is 10% of the selling price. When the price itself doubled, the profit increased by 10 times.
Several petrochemical enterprises that were rampant at the beginning of the 21st century were developed because of the production capacity of millions of tons of methanol. Their cash flow situation was once so good that banks envied them. After that. If these companies did not suffer major losses in the collapse of methanol prices in the late 1990s, they would be able to launch a strong wave of mergers. The foundation of many century-old petrochemical groups was laid in this situation.
Compared with the stable long-term income of synthetic ammonia, Sucheng, who knows the history, naturally likes short-term huge profits.
In order to avoid stopping production at the most critical moment, Sucheng has made higher requirements for equipment, not only in the production process, but also in the environmental protection, so as to avoid the most lucrative 1990s of methanol and the most severe environmental protection in the 1990s.
Compared with double the profit. Spending an extra 2% or 3% of the profit is nothing at all. Of course, it is very painful for ordinary methanol factories. Their profit margin is usually 3% to 10%, and the cost of increasing 2% is absolutely terrible.
Jin Yanrou knows a lot about finance and economics. Cheer up. He asked, "Su Dong believes that methanol will rise, and it will increase significantly. Is it? Is Dahua Industry ready to enter methanol futures?
Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Dahua is going to spend all the cash on the petrochemical base. There are no funds to speculate in the futures market. We are not financial companies. But yes, methanol will rise."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll say it out?"
"What did you say?"
"Dahua Industry believes that the methanol market is rising."
"We have invested in the construction of methanol equipment with an annual output of 500,000 tons. Of course, we think the methanol market is rising."
Jin Yanrou was stunned, shook her head and smiled, "You don't want to stimulate the price of methanol through me, do you? Is there any profit for Dahua's petrochemical base now?
"Our management is excellent, the cost is low, and of course there are some profits." Su Cheng stopped for a moment and continued: "In other words, we have invested all the profits generated by high-quality management in environmental protection, and the environmental protection added value of $10 per ton is the first in the world, no doubt. I hope CCTV can report it. Serious report." "
"That needs to be confirmed."
"You will see all the documents, current accounts, and accounting information. Of course, the most important thing is the effect of equipment and environmental protection.
"That's why you let the reporter take the sample away."
"Whatever you can find, the environmental protection level of this petrochemical base is world-class, stronger than most petrochemical bases and stronger than all methanol bases." Su Cheng thought that a petrochemical base that does not seek short-term benefits is indeed impeccable to some extent. The two strongest measures against environmental threats in any country in the world are fines and criminal accountability, which are aimed at people. One is to stop production, which is aimed at the factory.
Dahua Methanol Factory uses the latest design and equipment, the most environmentally friendly management measures, and over-cost investment. If it can't pass the appraisal, the world's petrochemical industry will have been developing for 100 years. Institutions and individuals that have spent trillions of dollars in investment and hundreds of billions of dollars in research have all closed down.
Su Cheng's smile is like a tourist in the zoo. Although he smashed the tiger's head, he did not worry at all.
Jin Yanrou looked at the reporters all over the ground and couldn't help saying, "Aren't you afraid of picking bones in the reporter's egg?"
"Mainstream media are more or less shameless." Su Cheng smiled twice, and his tone was a little heavier. He said, "Dahua Industry also has billions of dollars in assets. I think any newspaper or TV station has to rely on a little to bully such an enterprise."
Jin Yanrou knew that he was right. When foreign media are facing large companies, their independence has always been questioned. In the face of power, the domestic media is as soft as noodles.
No media will attack a large company unscrupulously without evidence. When there is evidence, you often have to think about it.
Jin Yanrou looked at Su Cheng's high-spirited expression and suddenly felt that her calves and stomach were a little trembling. She knew that it was not fear and worry, but excitement and excitement. It's like when I learned the results of the college entrance examination and saw my name on the anchor list.
Jin Yanrou's cheeks slowly flushed.
