The conditions Yao Yuan offered to the province are based on the Haicang plan, but slightly lower. This is necessary. If the Dongfang Petrochemical Base is to become an alternative to the Haicang Petrochemical Base, the competent authorities must take the initiative to propose it.
.
In this case, it is appropriate for the province to step forward to ask for policies from the country. With the support of the provincial government, the possibility of success is very high, because this is Guangdong Province and the frontier of reform and opening up.
After basically reaching the intention, the atmosphere relaxed suddenly. Vice Governor Zhang asked, "Mr. Yao, where do you plan to place the petrochemical base? What do you think of Guangdong City? Guangdong City is located near the sea and has a port, which is suitable for a petrochemical base.
requirements.”
Yao Yuan said bluntly, "It is relatively the best location on the east coast of Nangang. Guangdong is the provincial capital, and the secondary industry will sooner or later be transferred to second- and third-tier cities. The petrochemical base is huge and will be relocated in the future.
It’s very troublesome, so the site selection must take into account the development situation in the next fifty years.”
"East Coast Island..." Vice Governor Zhang frowned in thought.
Director Qian reminded, "The largest island in our province is located southeast of Nangang City, close to Boracay Island. Its geographical location is relatively independent, but it is only more than 40 kilometers away from the city, and the transportation is very convenient."
"East Coast Island..." Vice Governor Zhang remembered. When he was the mayor, he once went to Boracay Island for a meeting. The coast there is beautiful and has the longest beach in Asia.
Vice Governor Zhang stood up, picked up the cigarettes on the table, walked over, handed one to Yao Yuan, lit one himself and took two puffs, walked back and forth for two steps, and then sat down on the sofa opposite Yao Yuan, his posture was even more
As if chatting, the atmosphere will naturally become more relaxed.
He said in a consultative tone, "Can we put part of it in Guangdong City? The petrochemical base has several components, such as a refinery. There is also a refinery in Huizhou. I have visited it. It covers a small area but has great economic benefits."
It is very high, and it also supports the economic development of Guangdong City."
Yao Yuan didn't quite understand. He glanced at Director Qian with an inquiring gaze and began to think deeply.
Director Qian smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Yao Yuan lit up his cigarette and started to smoke. Then he said in deep thought, "The Oriental Petrochemical Base is an integrated base, and its overall technical level is world-leading. In fact, we have already reached preliminary agreements with French Total and BP Petroleum Company.
Intention to cooperate in oil refining..."
"Leadership is mainly about integration, which means that the petrochemical base will be an indivisible whole. If it is deployed dispersedly, it will affect the overall operational efficiency. For example, crude oil enters the petrochemical base from the terminal through pipelines. From this moment
Starting from the beginning, including refining and ethylene products, it is all done at the base."
He tried to explain it as plainly as possible.
Vice Governor Zhang understood what he understood, but he still looked reluctant and said in a low voice, "You should think about it again. After all, it is a project worth tens of billions, and it would not be appropriate to put it all in one place. Of course, from the perspective of the enterprise,
From the perspective of business and production, your opinion is right. But we can’t just consider the factors of business and production, don’t you think so?”
Yao Yuan was helpless. He had expected this situation. In fact, as long as your business scale reaches a certain level, it is not a purely economic matter.
"Mr. Yao, do you think this will work? The headquarters of Southern Industry will be moved to Guangdong City and re-registered in Guangdong City. There is no problem in placing the petrochemical base on Dong'an Island. Didn't you say that Dongfang Petroleum Corporation has not registered yet?
Just put it in Guangdong City, and there will be no problem if the lower factory is placed in Nangang." Vice Governor Zhang said with a smile.
If Zhou Liang and other Nangang parents were officials, they would definitely jump up in opposition. They would not care about the governor or deputy governor. It is related to the rapid development of the local economy. Local officials would even dare to fight against people from central ministries and commissions.
Yao Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "Both Southern Industrial and Dongfang Petroleum are registered in Nangang. This will not change. As I said just now, I am a Nangang person and I want to do something for my hometown."
Vice Governor Zhang's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. The man in front of him was the God of Wealth for the people of the province. Even if he was angry, he had to endure it and never show it.
After thinking about it, Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Boss, in fact, the petrochemical industry is just one of my industries. I wonder if you have ever understood that I also own Yuanda Electrical Appliances and Centennial Real Estate. There is a science and technology research institute under Southern Industrial.
, I can put the automobile research institute in the provincial capital and build an automobile factory in the provincial capital at the same time."
I can't help but express my opinion.
Vice Governor Zhang was very surprised, "Did you buy electrical appliances from Yuanda? That Yuanda Electric? Is it yours?"
"Yes." Yao Yuan nodded.
Nowadays, Yuanda Electrical Appliances is no longer the most profitable wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern Industrial, but it is definitely the most famous company and is known to people across the country.
There are advertisements for Yuanda Electric before and after CCTV's daily news broadcast. It's hard not to know.
"What is the scale of Yuanda Electric?" Vice Governor Zhang asked hurriedly.
Even Director Qian looked puzzled.
When most people know that it is just a store selling electrical appliances, their imagination will naturally be limited. Yao Yuan himself did not expect that the consumption potential of China in the 1990s was so terrifying.
Yao Yuan said, "Currently, Yuanda Electric has opened a flagship store and five secondary direct-sale stores in Guangdong City. They were all opened in May. Sales last month were more than 10 million."
"Hundreds of millions a year?" Director Qian asked subconsciously.
Yao Yuan nodded, "It should be able to exceed 200 million. According to our Chinese people's consumption habits, holidays are peak consumption periods, and sales will double several times."
Vice Governor Zhang gasped, shook his head slightly and said, "I really can't believe that selling electrical appliances can be done on such a large scale."
Yao Yuan said with a smile, "In fact, the market in the home appliance sales industry will only get bigger and bigger. It will not be a big problem to create several tens of billions of companies in more than ten years. Yuanda Electric's first five-year plan goal is to achieve annual sales breakthroughs
Five billion Chinese coins."
"Five billion?" Director Qian stared at Yao Yuan, "Mr. Yao, home appliances are not as good as petrochemicals. Take ethylene as an example. You can sell as much as you produce. Home appliances are different. Besides, there is no technical content in the sales of home appliances. Five billion?"
Achieve sales of 5 billion within a year..."
Yao Yuan didn't care about Director Qian's doubts and said with a smile, "Yuanda Electric has begun to expand in the northern market. The number of stores will exceed 100 by the end of this year. The average sales of one store per year is 5 million. It is not a big problem.
"
He already said it very conservatively.
The advantage of Yuanda Electric is that it controls the channel terminals. Its most important magic weapon is the supporting headwind logistics. This advantage is something that Yao Yuan cannot say yet. Headwind Logistics is still in the wretched development stage. If it attracts the attention of the postal management department,
Then death is not far away.
With the halo of being the second largest shareholder of an overseas national oil company, Vice Governor Zhang firmly believes in Yao Yuan's words. If you think about it carefully, since there is already a company with a scale of hundreds of millions in Guangdong City, he will continue to work in the petrochemical base.
Continuing to dwell on the issue of registration place will only make Yao Yuan unhappy.
Moreover, Yao Yuan promised to build an automobile research institute and an automobile factory in Guangdong City. This is a real high-tech industry, and it is the industry that best reflects the economic strength of a place.
He made a prompt decision and said, "Okay, on behalf of the people of Guangdong City, I would like to thank Mr. Yao for his strong support. Regarding the petrochemical base, I will report to the provincial governor tomorrow... no, I will report to the provincial governor in a while, and I will report to Beijing tomorrow."
Yao Yuan knew it was time to leave and stood up to say goodbye.
