Agreeing to convert 100% of Formosa Plastics Group's export sales to 100% domestic sales means that the mainland's petrochemical industry will be given to Formosa Plastics Group for exclusive use. It means that all ethylene plants under construction by the National Petroleum Corporation will be shut down, leaving the market to Taiwan.
Plastic Group.
The mainland made a huge concession to the Formosa Plastics Group because one of the basis of the previous negotiations between the two parties was that 100% of the products would be exported, which is very attractive to the mainland, which is extremely short of foreign exchange.
This is also the main intention of the mainland to spare no effort and squeeze out 200 million U.S. dollars to vigorously promote the construction of the Haicang base despite the shortage of foreign exchange.
Now, this basic condition has disappeared, and everyone thinks that the mainland will not agree, because if it agrees, it will cause a fatal blow to the mainland's own petrochemical industry, especially the ethylene industry.
However, the result was unexpected and the mainland agreed.
At this moment, Yao Yuan's anger surged to the top of his head, and his views on Mr. Li and others changed drastically. He believed that they were too short-sighted and only saw immediate benefits, damaging the long-term development of the industry.
At this moment, Mr. Li said, "We agree to your proposal of 100% domestic sales. Chairman Wang, can you sign the contract?"
Mr. Li asked personally.
Yao Yuan suddenly woke up and quickly calmed down. At the same time, he realized that he had wrongly blamed Mr. Li and others.
The significance of the Haicang base is not only to earn foreign exchange, but also to attract thousands of Taiwan-funded enterprises to invest and build factories, which serves as a great demonstration. At the same time, judging from the current situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the political significance is very huge.
.
Mr. Li and others probably cannot imagine how much ethylene production China will need in the future.
By 2022, national ethylene production will reach nearly 30 million tons!
The Haicang base is designed to have an annual output of 800,000 tons, which will be able to fill the country's demand in the next few years. However, as time goes by, this output will not even be enough for the consumption of Guangdong Province...
Does Mr. Li have as much confidence in the development of China's economy as Yao Yuan?
Yao Yuan was doubtful, because the current Chinese people are confused about the future. Everyone is groping forward in the dark. There is a river, rocks and whirlpools under their feet. No one knows where they will step next.
Under such circumstances, Mr. Li still decided to make concessions to the Formosa Plastics Group, and the result was obvious - the Haicang base could attract thousands of Taiwan-funded companies to build factories and invest. This demonstration is of great significance, and it is important enough to sacrifice his own
Ethylene industry to promote.
It is difficult for leaders in this era. It is very, very difficult. They have to find living space in the cracks and find ways to improve the quality of life. It is too difficult.
Thinking of this, Yao Yuan felt relieved.
After listening to Mr. Li's words, Wang Qing just smiled and did not speak immediately. At this time, everyone in the conference room realized that the various problems and difficulties raised by Formosa Plastics Group may be excuses, and they may not be sincere in building this.
Haicang base.
However, given Wang Qing's courage, he would not dare to tease a senior leader like Mr. Li!
In fact, they all underestimated Wang Qing's courage. If the leader of the Baodao authorities wanted to see him, he had to go to his mansion to meet him. He claimed to be a martial arts master and had the confidence to travel among the opposing forces.
time, thereby seeking benefits.
Facts have also proved that his skills are very powerful. Unfortunately, he made the mistake of using such skills on the Haicang base. The mistake was that he used it on the Chinese people who are eager to develop the economy and are willing to work hand in hand with the compatriots on the other side of the Taiwan Strait to move forward.
on top of sincerity.
Wang Qing said, "Mr. Li, we will hold a meeting immediately after we return to finalize the matters regarding the Haicang base."
As soon as this sentence came out, Xia Honghua couldn't stand it anymore.
He said with a cold face, "Chairman Wang, you want preferential policies. We have specially set up Haicang Economic Zone to formulate policies. You want land. We allocated 10,000 hectares of land in the first phase and also let the engineering corps
Enter the site and carry out construction of seven connections and one leveling."
Xia Honghua stared at Wang Qing, perhaps influenced by Yao Yuan's views, perhaps because he was really angry with Formosa Plastics Group's attitude. His words were very serious, "The foundation of the Haicang base is based on 100% export of products. This is also
Chairman Wang, you proposed it on your own initiative. We have been talking for almost two years, and all the funds we promised to invest have been received, but we have yet to see any action from you. Now except for a memorandum and a verbal agreement, you have nothing more
substantive actions.”
"Today's meeting was proposed by Chairman Wang. We talked before the meeting and hoped that the contract could be signed at this meeting. Chairman Wang also agreed. But you suddenly proposed that 100% export sales should be converted to 100% domestic sales."
Having said this, Xia Honghua stopped.
Wang Qing quickly seized the opportunity to explain, "Director Xia, I just mentioned the changes in the economic situation. I was also caught off guard. I hope you can understand."
Xia Honghua said quickly, "We can understand, so we agree with your proposal of 100% domestic sales. Chairman Wang, this problem has been solved."
Once that's settled, it's time to sign the contract.
Everyone thought so, but Yao Yuan figured it out. Wang Qing never thought about investing in the Haicang base from the beginning to the end!
The Haicang base proposed by Formosa Plastics Group is a tool to put pressure on the Taiwan authorities!
Wang Qing is a sinner through the ages, because in order for Formosa Plastics Group's six-light plan in Baodao to be successfully approved, and in order for Formosa Plastics Group to overcome the environmental protection hurdle, he proposed the Haicang base to the mainland and invested 100 yuan in a plan.
Billion-dollar petrochemical base to replace the Six Lights Project, in order to put pressure on the Baodao authorities.
Just now, Yao Yuan had been thinking about why Wang Qing, who should have been overjoyed, had a hint of being in trouble after Mr. Li agreed to 100% domestic sales.
The willingness lies in the fact that Wang Qing does not want to sign the contract at all. For him, as long as the Haicang base keeps talking, it can keep putting pressure on the Baodao authorities. The purpose of his proposal of 100% domestic sales is to delay time, because he believes that this condition
Once it is proposed, the mainland will most likely study and discuss it for a long time, because he is sure that the mainland will not give up the Haicang plan easily.
What he never expected was that the mainland would be so bold in introducing foreign investment to vigorously develop its foreign economy.
In less than half an hour, his proposal of 100% domestic sales was agreed to.
It was completely beyond Wang Qing's expectations, so his smile was filled with surprise, some nervousness, some embarrassment, and was very complicated.
After coming to this conclusion, Yao Yuan basically guessed what Wang Qing would say next.
No matter what, he will definitely find excuses to continue delaying.
But Yao Yuan will no longer sit back and watch Formosa Plastics Group continue to act.
After Xia Honghua asked again, Wang Qing had to say, "Formosa Plastics Group is sincere, but for such a large project, we need to hold a specific meeting internally to discuss it."
"Formosa Plastics Group proposed the idea of Haicang Petrochemical Base two years ago. After talking for such a long time, Chairman Wang personally explained the plan just now. The plan is very detailed and even meets the standards of a master design.
, I think Formosa Plastics Group is fully prepared."
Following the sound, everyone looked over and saw a young man standing up from the corner, getting up and walking slowly this way.
It's not who Yao Yuan is.
Yao Yuan said as he walked. After saying the few words just now, Wang Qing and Wang Xiang couldn't help but nodded, thinking they had met friendly forces.
Yao Yuan continued, "I am also in the business, and I am quite familiar with the relevant situations. Under such circumstances, Chairman Wang should not come unprepared, unless..."
He suddenly drawled his voice, looked at the skinny Wang Qing, and gave him a fatal blow, "Unless Chairman Wang has never thought about investing in the Haicang base from the beginning to the end."
If Xia Honghua's words forced Wang Qing to express his position, then Yao Yuan's words were equivalent to putting a sword on Wang Qing's neck.
"This is..." Wang Qing, who was Lao Jianghu after all, did not change his expression, but looked at Yao Yuan with a smile.
Xia Honghua said, "Mr. Yao Yuanyao, the largest shareholder of Dongfang Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Co., Ltd."
That is, the big boss of Dongfang Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Co., Ltd.
In addition to Yao Yuan's shares, Dongfang Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Co., Ltd. has another 10% of its shares distributed to senior executives and employees. The workers' committee holds employee shares on behalf of the company and is the second largest shareholder.
In fact, Yao Yuan's shares are held by Dongfeng Group, not Yao Yuan personally. Xia Honghua introduced it this way just to make it simpler, so that he does not need to spend too much time explaining the complicated relationship between Yao Yuan, Dongfeng Group and Dongfang Petroleum.
Wang Qing knew about Dongfang Petroleum, otherwise Wang Xiang would not have gone to chat with Yao Yuan so abruptly.
He nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Boss Xiao Yao, our Formosa Plastics Group is very sincere."
At this time, Mr. Li pointed at Yao Yuan and said, "Xiao Yao, since you have spoken, let's talk about your views."
It was obvious that Mr. Li had emotions towards Wang Qing's backbiting.
Yao Yuan nodded and said, "The Haicang plan has been discussed for almost two years. Currently, except for the mainland's investment of 200 million US dollars and the entry of emerging groups for preliminary construction, Formosa Plastics Group has not made any substantive actions."
Wang Xiang couldn't help but say, "We have invested 30 million US dollars."
Yao Yuan snorted lightly and said with a smile, "For a project with a total investment of 10 billion U.S. dollars, 30 million U.S. dollars is not even pocket money."
Wang Xiang suddenly concluded that if he borrowed 10 billion U.S. dollars from a bank, the annual interest alone would be tens of millions of U.S. dollars. The investment of 30 million U.S. dollars was indeed nothing.
Now that he has opened his mouth, Yao Yuan has made up his mind. He will not stop until he finishes speaking, and will not stop until the true face of the Formosa Plastics Group is revealed. At the very least, he will stop the Haicang project, or build it according to the mainland's wishes.
stand up.
He really does not regard Dongfang Petroleum's petrochemical base as a competitor of the Haicang base, because he knows that in the near future, the annual output of the two bases will not be able to meet one-tenth of the national market demand.
Yao Yuan said, "Chairman Wang, Dongfang Petroleum is willing to spend 5 billion US dollars to cooperate with Formosa Plastics Group to build the Haicang base. The construction of the Haicang base is inseparable from the Petroleum Corporation. I suggest that the Petroleum Corporation should spend 1 billion Chinese dollars.
, accounting for 10% of the shares in the Haicang base, Dongfang Petroleum and Formosa Plastics Group each spent US$5 billion, each accounting for 45% of the shares."
As soon as he said this, the glasses of several CEOs at Petroleum Corporation lit up.
Even people who don’t understand mathematics can calculate this amount of money clearly.
The CEO of PetroChina first said, "Mr. Yao's suggestion is very good. I think it is most in line with the actual situation. Since the ethylene plant we are building has stopped production, we can use these equipment to invest in the Haicang base. It will not be
Such a waste."
The CEO of Sinopec said, "I also agree with Mr. Yao's opinion. After all, the Haicang base is built on our mainland. Chairman Wang, we have no problem with you taking most of it, and you should take it too, but we are not allowed to participate at all."
, and your products have to be sold 100% domestically, which is not appropriate."
According to the original conditions, Formosa Plastics Group had to build its Haicang base independently and sell all its products for export. The National Petroleum Corporation had no objection because it would not have an impact on the mainland market.
Now the situation has changed tremendously. All products have to be sold in the mainland market, which will take away the jobs of the National Petroleum Corporation. It is strange that the National Petroleum Corporation has no objection!
Just because there were more important reasons, they had to agree.
The plan proposed by Yao Yuan not only takes care of the difficulties of the Formosa Plastics Group, but also allows the National Petroleum Corporation to obtain part of the benefits. It is a win-win plan for all three parties.
Yao Yuan knew that Wang Qing had never thought of such a plan because he did not want to build the Haicang base at all. Therefore, everyone could clearly see Wang Qing's uneasy look. Obviously, today's meeting went beyond his expectations.
Since he had no intention of investing and it was just a tool project to put pressure on the Baodao authorities, Wang Qing certainly did not consider various possibilities.
At this time, there was no need for Yao Yuan to make it clear or Wang Qing to admit it personally. All the participants, including Mr. Li, understood that Formosa Plastics Group did not have any sincerity in the Haicang base project.
After noticing that Mr. Li's expression gradually cooled down, Yao Yuan said in time, "Mr. Li, ladies and gentlemen, Dongfang Petroleum is building a petrochemical base. We have started to level the site, completed the equipment purchase, and at the same time completed the supporting cross-sea construction.
The bridge is also in the process of declaration."
After a pause, Yao Yuan said, "Dongfang Petroleum and Petrochemical Base is designed to have an annual output of 700,000 tons, with room for expansion to 1 million tons. We can promise to export 100% of the ethylene we produce. Mr. Li, I don't want any preferential treatment policies, just
Please ask the state to approve our construction, I just want a birth certificate."
Speak sincerely.
In order to prove what he said, Yao Yuan quickly returned to his seat and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Mr. Li's secretary. Mr. Li's secretary took it and placed it in front of Mr. Li.
Yao Yuan said, "This is the relevant document for purchasing equipment. Both sets of ethylene production equipment are from BASF. The first set has an annual output of 80,000 tons, and the second set has an annual output of 120,000 tons. We have to complete the annual output of 200,000 tons in the early stage.
It is expected to reach maximum production capacity in two years."
Xia Honghua quickly helped read the documents. He had not known about these documents before, and he did not expect that Yao Yuan had already done his job well.
Mr. Li asked, "How much do you plan to invest in your petrochemical base?"
No matter how senior a leader is, he cannot escape the circle of asking about investment amounts. This is also a characteristic of the times.
"10 billion U.S. dollars." Yao Yuan said.
Wang Qing's expression suddenly changed.
The investment amount is the same, the annual output is the same, and the equipment has been purchased. If you compare the two petrochemical bases here, it is clear which one is higher and which one is lower.
