Spring Breeze 1991

Yao Yuan continued to throw heavy bombs, he said, "If Formosa Plastics Group is willing to continue investing in the Haicang base, all the products of the Dongfang Petrochemical base will be [-]% exported forever. This can be written into the contract. Mr. Li, leaders, Dongfang Petroleum is a private enterprise, and all I want is the approval of the state ministries.”

It's simply a humble and unequal concession.

It’s like a low-class person who obviously has delicious food but can’t eat it. Seeing the food piled up in front of the high-class people, he still says that it’s not enough, because only when the high-class people start eating can they leave some leftovers For the inferior people to eat, in order for the superior people to open their mouths to eat, the inferior people are even willing to eat the vomit spit out by the superior people...

Mr. Li was moved, Yao Yuan's words let him see the current survival status of private enterprises.Dongfang Petroleum has just been rated as an outstanding national enterprise, so it still has been treated unfairly, let alone a large number of small and medium-sized private enterprises.

But Yao Yuan's words sounded like a naked threat to Wang Qing.

His gaze slowly became gloomy, staring at Yao Yuan's face, trying to see something from it, but Yao Yuan's expression was sincere, his gaze was sincere, as if he was thinking of the Formosa Plastics Group.

Xia Honghua was worried that the Formosa Plastics Group would agree. If so, Dongfang Petroleum would suffer heavy losses!He knows best how difficult the current foreign trade work is, and Huaxia's chemical products are not competitive.

Therefore, he simply thought that Yao Yuan said this to force Wang Qing to express his opinion.

So, he went on to say, "Chairman Wang, Dongfang Petroleum Company is our largest private oil company and has its own oil fields overseas. Now that Mr. Yao has made his statement, I think Formosa Plastics Group should have no difficulty. Contract, sign it today."

Another direct question.

When Yao Yuan said to invest 100 billion US dollars, many people subconsciously couldn't help laughing and shaking their heads.Because they didn't believe that Yao Yuan could spend such a large amount of money, many people's understanding of Dongfang Petroleum Company was only based on news reports.

Xia Honghua's words reminded them that the focus now is on the Formosa Plastics Group's statement, not on the Dongfang Petroleum and Petrochemical Base project.

So, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Qing.

Wang Qing couldn't get off the tiger.

Yao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He was sure that Formosa Plastics Group was not sincere in the Haicang project, and Wang Qing would definitely continue to find excuses to shirk.

Sure enough, Wang Qing said helplessly, "Mr. Li, Formosa Plastics Group cannot sign a formal agreement at present."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone looked at Wang Qing with cold eyes.

After talking for such a long time, we made concessions that should be made, and concessions that should not be made. For the sake of the Haicang plan, we did not hesitate to sacrifice an independent industry. The upper management made great determination and made concessions at the risk of historical infamy. .

Now you are denying such a big economic and trade plan with every opening and closing of your mouth?

Yao Yuan's mood is very complicated. Fortunately, because the petrochemical industry in mainland China has been saved. Although the losses caused by the shutdown of several ethylene plants are a foregone conclusion, there is also anger. Wang Qing is so bold that he dared to use such a big thing as a tool. , It can be seen that under the huge interests, businessmen like Wang Qing, who claim to be patriotic Taiwan compatriots, will eventually leave the national industry behind without thinking.

Mr. Li was stunned for a few seconds, then just nodded his head and said "um", then got up and left.

Wang Qing got up quickly, "Mr. Li, Formosa Plastics Group's commitment to invest 3000 million US dollars in the Haicang base will be implemented. We are willing to contribute to the economic development of the mainland."

Mr. Li stopped in his tracks, pointed at Xia Honghua with a faint smile, "You talk to them."

After speaking, he left the conference room.

The attitude is obvious.

Every time Wang Qing came to Beijing, he was interviewed by senior cadres of Mr. Li's level, and they talked about everything in detail, which is very rare.Throughout the past 20 years, only Konosuke Matsushita received this kind of treatment when he visited China.

Now, Mr. Li pointed to Xia Honghua and said to talk to him. First of all, the specifications have dropped significantly, which means that the investment of Formosa Plastics Group will no longer receive the attention of senior cadres at Mr. Li's level.

It is even different for Xia Honghua to negotiate with Formosa Plastics Group in person, and it is very likely that the local government will be responsible for it.

$3000 million is nothing, nothing.

It is not so much an investment as it is a disguised form of compensation from the Formosa Plastics Group to the Haicang base. However, what is the meaning of the 3000 million US dollars in compensation when the mainland has already invested [-] million US dollars?

Xia Honghua got up to tidy up the documents and materials on the desktop. Seeing this, several CEOs of the Petroleum Corporation also did the same.

When walking past Yao Yuan, Xia Honghua stopped and said, "Mr. Yao, come with me, Mr. Li may want to see you."

Yao Yuan returned to his seat, picked up his things, and left with Xia Honghua and the others. Except for the staff in charge of entertaining, the huge conference room suddenly became empty.

Wang Qing and the others looked at each other, embarrassed and inexplicably wronged.

After a long silence, Wang Xiang said in a low voice, "Father, why don't we give up Liuqing."

Wang Qing was entangled, he was optimistic about the mainland market, and with so many preferential policies, the treatment that the Haicang base could enjoy was very likely to have no latecomers, but he was unwilling to offend the authorities of Baodao for this.Formosa Plastics Group is the foundation of Formosa Plastics.

But thinking of Mr. Li's attitude just now, Wang Qing slowly shook his head and said, "There is no possibility of redemption, the mainland has completely disappointed us."

After a pause, he said, "The most important thing is the intervention of Yao Yuan. You should know that Dongfang Petroleum Company has this capability."

Wang Xiang nodded helplessly, "Yes, although their scale is not as large as ours, they have abundant funds. With the increase in the production of the Baku oilfield, they will only be able to use more and more funds, all of which are US dollars. They You can really come up with $100 billion."

The 100 billion US dollars is not invested at one time, but invested in batches over ten years, so that the pressure on funds will be even smaller.

Formosa Plastics Group can't even raise 1 million US dollars in cash now, but they dare to invest 100 billion US dollars in projects because of the strong liquidity of funds.

Enterprises such as Southern Industrial and Dongfang Petroleum, which often have hundreds of millions of dollars in their accounts, are simply wonderful. The conservative thinking of the operators can be locked in a museum exhibition.

However, Yao Yuan, who knew that the economic crisis would break out in a few years, would rather give up a share of the profit to ensure that the company has hundreds of millions of preparedness funds that can be used at any time.

This does not conflict with his principle of requiring all funds to flow to generate benefits. The key difference is that one is strategy and the other is tactics.
