After seeing off Xia Honghua, Yao Yuan, and Lin Wei, the two brothers sat on a stone under a tree beside the construction site and smoked. Yu Tieli brought over a bag of ice-cold mineral water.
Yao Yuan took a sip and looked at it carefully, "We don't produce water, we are just porters of nature. This advertising slogan is quite familiar."
"How can you not be familiar with what you said?" Lin Wei said angrily.
Yao Yuan was stunned, "Me? This mineral water belongs to us?"
Yu Tieli immediately became happy, "You can't even remember your own company. Someone named Zong asked you to invest in the production of mineral water. If you invest money, this farmer's spring will be ours."
"Why don't I have any impression at all?" Yao Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Yu Tieli said, "I heard that it has been distributed across the country and is selling very well."
There were so many properties that Yao Yuan really couldn't remember them all. He nodded and said, "Brother Tieli, you and Karina should go back and rest. Don't waste the sun too."
"Okay, I'll be right over there." Yu Tieli pointed to the lounge next to him.
After saying that, he and Karina went over and sat down to rest. Although there was no clear stipulation, Karina seemed to be Lin Wei's secretary, which made Fatty Lin very uncomfortable.
"Where did you buy this water?" Yao Yuandong looked around.
Lin Wei pointed at the village next to the construction site, "There are canteens and street stalls in that village. It has almost become a shopping street."
Stall economy.
Such a phrase immediately appeared in front of Yao Yuan's eyes.
The food and drink of one hundred thousand people is equivalent to that of a large county town, and they are concentrated in an area of more than 20 square kilometers. Not to mention a few small vendors, they can support a large number of people just by selling snacks and daily necessities.
Thousands of people, this is something Yao Yuan never thought of.
He became interested and said, "Let's go and have a look."
The two of them walked towards the village under the scorching sun. They walked up to a high ground that had not yet been leveled and looked around. Only then did they realize that there was a village there. Small villages had formed in several places on the edge of the surrounding villages and the construction site.
In the market, almost all tents and awnings of similar colors are very eye-catching.
Yao Yuan suddenly became happy and said, "I think we can standardize them and build a few street stalls around the construction site. It's just a matter of reinforced concrete."
"That's good. Let the people around you make some money through side jobs." Lin Wei agreed 100%.
He thought for a while and suddenly said, "Ayuan, do you really want to build a petrochemical base?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't I discuss this with you?" Yao Yuan said.
Lin Wei said worriedly, "I didn't know the situation before. I checked the relevant information during this period and found that such a large-scale petrochemical base must be approved by the state. But don't forget the Petroleum Corporation. If we do this, we are robbing them."
Let’s eat.”
He didn't mention the Haicang plan because he knew it wasn't something he should consider.
Yao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "That's why we can't do without the Petroleum Corporation. I didn't tell Lao Xia."
"Are you planning to cooperate with the Petroleum Corporation?" Lin Wei came back to his senses.
Yao Yuan nodded and said, "Well, if they are willing, then we can all eat meat together. If not, I will do it myself. I can always find a way to apply."
Dragging the National Petroleum Corporation is the first and best option, because if the Haicang Plan is successfully implemented, they will be the ones affected the most. There are so many petrochemical plants in various provinces across the country, and most of them are owned by the Petroleum Corporation.
The full name of Petroleum Corporation is National Petroleum and Natural Gas Corporation. It has not been separated yet and is a dominant company. Its predecessor was the Ministry of Petroleum Industry and is a state monopoly like Tieloda.
However, private enterprises and private enterprises are allowed to operate petrochemical production.
This is also Lin Wei's worry. If the scale is small, people will be too lazy to pay attention to you. If the scale is large and it poses a threat, they will definitely not agree.
Yao Yuan said, "There is a good foundation for cooperation between the Tyumen Oilfield and the National Petroleum Corporation, and part of the exploration and production of the Baku oil area has been allocated to them. With these foundations, we can sit down and talk."
"Isn't Su Wangting originally from the Petroleum Corporation? There are also Qin Zhenjun, general manager of Dongfang Petroleum Corporation, and Su Jianmin, deputy general manager." Lin Wei patted his forehead and said.
Yao Yuan smiled, "Yes, there is still a chance to do work through them. I sent them a telegram yesterday, and I think the work has already started."
"Oh, it turns out you already knew that Lao Xia wouldn't agree." Lin Wei suddenly realized.
Yao Yuan said helplessly, "The situation is stronger than the people. They have an advantage over us because of their reputation as a Taiwan-funded enterprise. Besides, the Formosa Plastics Group is a very big company with a lot of energy."
"I've never heard of it." Lin Wei shook his head and said.
Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let's put it this way, more than 20 million people cannot live without this company, and they spend tens of billions on investment every year."
"Dollars?" Lin Wei was stunned.
Yao Yuan scolded, "How many companies in the world can spend two to three billion US dollars? Use your brain, okay? It's Huaxia Coin. Last year, Formosa Plastics Group's assets reached 30 billion US dollars."
"Isn't that very strong? We have invested 5 billion Huaxia coins in the Baojun base." Lin Wei didn't have a big reaction and said indifferently.
Yao Yuan was stunned, stared at Lin Wei for a long time, and suddenly slapped his head, "Yeah, it's not much, we have to invest 18 billion a year, and compared with Formosa Plastics Group, we have
We have plenty of cash and no foreign debt.”
"Yes, Director He also said a few days ago that a newspaper analysis article said that Southern Industrial has no debt and has billions on its books. This is an extremely conservative business method and is very undesirable." Lin Wei said.
Yao Yuan clapped his hands, pointed at Lin Wei's nose and said, "Look, look, you've seen it. If you don't spend the money quickly, you'll be scolded. You've seen it."
"Blame me again?" Lin Wei was extremely depressed, "Besides, isn't this money the budget of Baojun Base? It spends hundreds of millions every month and it will be spent soon."
Yao Yuan stopped joking with him and walked towards the nearest mobile street stall. Lin Wei quickly followed.
After being reminded by Lin Wei, Yao Yuan realized that he was thinking inertly again. He looked at Formosa Plastics with his previous thinking. Naturally, he was frightened by the scale of Formosa Plastics. When he returned to his current thinking and compared it, he found that Formosa Plastics was actually nothing special.
After all, it’s Wei Ge who is calm and sensible enough!
If it can raise cash faster, Formosa Plastics may not even be able to match one-tenth of Southern Industries, let alone the entire Dongfeng Group.
Now that we have the upper hand in terms of enterprise scale, why are we still looking forward and backward?
Just use abundant funds to flow to Formosa Plastics Group and see how powerful modern capital is.
Yao Yuan, who was in a good mood, walked around the temporary stall street with great interest, looking at each stall one by one. When he was about to ask Lin Wei to get some money to buy something, he saw Lin Wei standing far behind him in a daze.
He followed Lin Wei's gaze in confusion and felt that something was wrong...
