Chapter 389 Those Nobles
...Lao Zhong, let me introduce it to you. This is Su Dong from Dahua Industry. As soon as he came back from the former Soviet Union, he came to us. He Han took the person to the private room very politely, and then said to Su Cheng, "Mr. Zhong, we are very concerned about COSCO's shipping service, and he helped us argue for several times..."
In two simple sentences, He Han explained the background of Director Zhong to Su Cheng. Because China's shipbuilding industry was monopolized by the China Shipping Group, which was formerly known as the Sixth Aircraft Department, in its early years. Director Zhong wanted to help COSCO's shipping business argue, and the opponent must be the China Shipping Corporation.
"Strive against reason" may be an exaggerated description of He Han, but even if he can only speak, it shows that he has a deep background.
The relationship between Sucheng and the Petroleum Corporation is just talkable.
Moreover, Director Zhong is a solid administrative cadre, much tougher than enterprise cadres like He Han. As soon as he touched Su Cheng, he took it back and said with a smile, "It's my job to help Zhongyuan talk. You can't let others take advantage of the temporary predicament. The first priority of our State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is that state-owned assets are not lost.
Su Cheng's face suddenly turned cold and said, "There is no difficulty in the operation of COSCO Shipping. It's just a matter of making more and earning less. I think there are too many mothers-in-law, which is the biggest hidden danger of Zhongyuan Shipping.
Today is different from the past. The hundreds of millions of dollars of the project is equivalent to Tang Monk's meat on the way to the west. If he shows a little weakness, the director of the South Department, the director of the West Department, will immediately show his fangs, and he will have a beautiful meal in public.
He Han looked helpless and hurriedly said, "Look at me, I'm too old to greet guests. Please sit down first and drink some wine to moisten your throat.
Director Zhong is the same age as Hu Jian, more than 10 years younger than He Han, but it's hard to go on. Instead, he stepped forward and staggered to the banquet.
The table in the box has been quietly changed. The newly made 18 dishes are neatly arranged. There are also a few bottles of wine in the middle. In addition to the common liquor and red wine, there is also local yellow wine, which is also a special feature of the banquet in the port.
Su Cheng raised his chin slightly and sat in the main seat before the slow director.
Previously, he gave up the main seat to He Han at this time. He Han thought he wouldn't sit down.
Zhong Hall stopped with a long step, and his anger was slightly obvious.
Su Cheng looked at the seat next to him and smiled twice.
He Han stroked his forehead and thought to himself: I'm really two hundred and fifty. What are you going to sit down?
This is going to be replaced by the movie Gangster. After the two sides stare at each other for 30 seconds, it's time to start the film.
But Director Zhong is a civilized person, or even if he wants to open a film, his bear-like figure can't support such high-intensity homework.
I stared for a while. Director Zhong still sat on the side under the persuasion of He Han.
He Han is tired. I was really sweating on my forehead. I could only shake my head and smile bitterly. I wiped things off with my sleeve and thought to myself: I, the deputy department level, how can I feel like a deputy section level?
Sitting firmly this time, He Han didn't want to open his mouth anyway. He Yuwei winned. A group of middle-aged people swarmed up.
Director Zhong didn't refuse. He took two sips of wine with a glass and ate vegetables. He came in a hurry and didn't have time to eat.
After a little stomach, Director Zhong's expression eased down. He raised the cup to Su Cheng and said, "Don't blame me for not having seen the world. I heard from Mr. He that Dahua Industry is going to prepare 300 million US dollars to make a boat?"
"The combined budget of shipyards and ships is 300 million US dollars." This money is almost a pure fixed asset investment. It does not include technology transfer and patent fees, nor does it include labor and training costs. Due to the rapid development of lng ships, the investment cost has also risen year after year, almost 8% every year. Therefore, if you invest in the shipyard 10 years later, 1 billion US dollars is not enough.
Director Zhong smiled and said, "The shipyard has been built for one year, and the shipbuilding has been used for three years. From this point of view, it will take 4 years to recover half of the investment, and it will have to go smoothly. Su Dong is really proud.
He threw a piece of meat into his mouth and clicked the crisp bone.
Su Cheng played with the wine glass with his hand and said lightly, "If it really goes well, it won't take one year for the shipyard and two years for shipbuilding."
"Su Dong joked. I know a little about shipbuilding. Lng ship, it will take you a year to take its hull alone, not to mention the cargo compartment inside, minus 163 degrees Celsius. Hey, I heard that many laboratories in China can't simulate this effect.
"There are many things that domestic laboratories can't do." Su Cheng stopped for a moment and said, "As far as shipbuilding is concerned, I don't know much, but I may know a little more than Director Zhong. Judging from the current trend of the shipbuilding industry, it will be the minimum requirement to build a cargo ship in two months. If it can't be done, it will be eliminated.
Director Zhong got used to being stabbed. He saw more about the speed of domestic shipbuilding and didn't believe in two months of shipbuilding at all. He thought to himself: Do you think tens of thousands of tons of freighters are iron boxes? The welding bar, the welding bar comes out?
He didn't want to keep holding on to the details. He just frowned and said, "Then I'll wait and see the speed of Su Dong's Dahua shipping industry. However, can Dahua Industry get $300 million in cash?
He wants to rebel against the army. Only people who do enterprises know how rare 300 million US dollars is. That's 30,000 US dollars, and a huge amount of money can't be paid by the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
Su Cheng Shiran said, "Dahua's funds are not bothered by the director Zhong. In fact, it was more than $300 million, and we also paid $40 million to Halliburton. With the bits and pieces, the total budget is $400 million.
Director Zhong stagnated, his chopsticks drooped, and his greed flashed away. He said, "Mr. Su has done a lot of business. However, Su Dong has started his own business, and don't forget the difficult brothers in our country. Not long after the merger of COSCO's shipping services, it is fully staffed. What is missing now is a rising channel..."
"Do you want to help with COSCO Shipping? It doesn't matter." Director Su interrupted him and said with a smile, "In the final analysis, SASAC is a controlling party, and Mr. He is the business party. If you want to make a decision for COSCO Shipping, you should be the general manager of COSCO Shipping first.
The general manager of COSCO Shipping is at the deputy ministerial level, and the director of Zhongyuan is still far away.
Seeing that Su Cheng didn't eat soft and hard, Director Zhong's face turned his face and said, "So, Su Dong refused to talk about it?"
"I'm just talking about it." When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China negotiated, everyone was unwilling to bear the bad reputation of undermining the peace talks, and Su Cheng didn't want to talk about it.
Director Zhong turned his face, looked at He Han and asked, "Mr. He, what do you say?"
He Han hid for a long time and didn't say anything. At this time, he couldn't avoid it, so he touched his temples and simply said, "All the profits of COSCO Shipping last year have been paid up. There is no foreign exchange left. We can't take out 180 million US dollars.
"I don't think it's all in US dollars. Mr. Su, if you order raw materials, you have to order domestic raw materials. If you raise 300 million US dollars, it's better to change it to 2.4 billion yuan. COSCO Shipping paid 1.2 billion US dollars. He quietly erased the exchange rate of 0.3.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Then what should I use to pay for the raw materials imported from abroad?"
"I can make the decision. I'll exchange a dollar for you from the People's Bank of China." Since the exchange rate of the exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB 1 to 8.3 has been relatively close to the actual, so it is not that private enterprises can't exchange dollars at all. It's just that in the case of tight foreign exchange, it is inevitable to have human exchanges.
However, no matter how strong the background of this director Zhong is, it is impossible to exchange 100 million US dollars.
Su Cheng then said, "There is nothing to talk about with $180 million. If SASAC doesn't want to do it, Dahua will do it by itself.
"Don't want the workers?" Director Zhong finally made a desperate meeting. In fact, he is grasping this point. Dahua Shipping has a short time. Although it has recruited a lot of people, the work has been full for a long time, and the orders for offshore drilling platforms can't be done.
No one, no matter how strong the technology is, it can't be used.
Director Zhong said proudly, "Actually, Su Dong should not only look at COSCO shipping. There are still many enterprises that can make giant cargo ships in China, and I can contact you.
The meaning is that he can contact shipbuilders in shipyards across the country.
This is probably the biggest reliance of Director Zhong.
He Han pressed his head with his hand, pretended to be too drunk, and secretly observed Su Cheng. His background is not as strong as the director of Zhong, so he has the attitude that if he can not be offended, he will not be offended.
Su Cheng flicked his glass and sighed: This is the most disgusting part of the powerful capital. Originally, it was a win-win situation. In order to earn an extra point, they had to force others to lose 10 points. Looking at the appearance of Director Zhong, if Dahua Industry does not agree to use the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to invest in real estate and RMB, COSCO Shipping can't even earn labor costs.
But how is that possible?
In fact, even if the other party takes out US dollars, Su Cheng will not sell the shares of Dahua Shipping to them. The lng boat is a standard cash cow. He doesn't even want Halliburton, let alone COSCO shipping.
Su Cheng looked at He Han.
He Han smiled bitterly and closed his eyes slightly. He is ready. If Su Cheng forces him to take a stand, he will give up his life to accompany the gentleman, which is also the favor of Su Cheng.
Su Cheng also guessed his mind, but he calmed down and said, "Is Director Zhong representing himself or the official?"
"My personal opinion." Director Zhong blinked, sneered at Su Cheng's problem, and said to himself, "What a young man."
Su Cheng smiled and stood up and said, "Since it's Director Zhong's personal opinion, let's do it first."
After saying that, he left the hotel directly.Director Zhong "hummed", looked at his back from afar, and said to He Han, "He either doesn't want to build a ship, or he has to come back obediently. Mr. He, don't be soft."
He Han couldn't figure out Su Cheng's attitude, so he just smiled... RQ
