Through the wealth life

Chapter 1201 Accelerating Construction
In the afternoon of that day, Li Guangyu, Du Yuemei, and Zhou Zhigang came to the outlying island together to visit the construction work of the port, petrochemical base, and oil storage base above.

Donghua Trading Company, which has capital injected by Li Guangyu, has become more active in trade with Eastern Europe, especially the Soviet Union. Due to the fact that the construction of the petrochemical base has not yet been completed, Donghua Trading Company mainly imports naphtha, liquefied natural gas, coal, Some refined oil.

Waiting for the petrochemical bases, ports, and oil storage bases in Xiangjiang and Goose City to be completed, they will buy crude oil in large quantities.

Entering the Soviet Union in 1988, its reforms became more radical, and its internal thinking became more chaotic. The focus of its reforms has always been on heavy industry. This has also led to Donghua Trading Company's most traded goods with the other party, such as food, clothing, and daily necessities. The exchange is mainly for oil extension products, coal, natural gas and other energy products.

Due to the barter transactions with Eastern Europe, the price of transactions with them is also much lower. Taking coal as an example, Donghua Trading Company only bought it at two-thirds of the market price.

The coal purchased by Li Guangyu from Eastern Europe not only supplies the needs of Xiangjiang, but also supplies the Baodao market.

It's a pity that those countries in Eastern Europe are very tight on gold, and the Donghua Trading Company prefers to barter, and they don't want to use foreign exchange, let alone take out gold.

Li Guangyu is not in a hurry about this. He has already obtained relatively good profits from this transaction. Although it is not as exaggerated as exchanging clothes for airplanes in later generations, Donghua Trading Company, a second-hand dealer company, has benefited a lot this year. The level of profitability far exceeds that of some groups. In terms of net profit, Donghua Trading Company can enter the top ten of Li's companies.

This company typically eats at both ends. It buys at low prices here and sells at high prices in Eastern Europe, then buys at low prices over there, and then sells at high prices.

These few times of changing hands will allow them to make huge profits, and the current business model is not unheard of.

It’s just that there are some problems here. Due to the confrontation between the two parties, many consortiums with strength and capital cannot intervene. Eastern Europe will not cooperate with them. develop.

For those who have the strength and ability to do this, the Li's consortium is more suitable at present. Anyway, his relationship with the American consortium is not good. In addition, he is mainly based in Xiangjiang, and they are the first to propose the plan of bartering. The Warsaw Pact countries, especially the Soviet Union, were willing to make such a deal with Donghua Trading Company.

We must know that in terms of economy, the Warsaw Pact countries have always been relatively passive. The United States often pulls its allies to impose economic sanctions on the Warsaw Pact countries, restricting the sale of many products to the Warsaw Pact countries, especially the Soviet Union.

The bartering that Donghua Trading Company is doing now is helping them in a timely manner, especially in grain trade. The Soviet Union has been very short of grain in recent years, and their biggest import in these years is grain.

At the construction site of the outlying island port, after learning about the construction period, Li Guangyu said aloud: "You must ensure that the first phase of the port project is completed before the end of the year, so that the port can be put into use on New Year's Day next year."

On New Year's Day next year, the chemical production base on the outlying islands and the steel production base in Western Australia will also be put into operation. If the ports are not put into operation at the same time, it will be very troublesome for raw materials to come in.

The person in charge of the construction here responded: "Li Sheng, don't worry, we will arrange the construction plan reasonably, increase construction personnel, and strive to deliver the first phase of the project to Jiulong Group in October this year, and start the second phase of construction at the same time."

Outlying Islands Port will be the main distribution port of Li's Consortium Xiangjiang in the future, so the plan is very large. In the future, it will not only be used by Xiangjiang Petrochemical Group and Western Australia Iron and Steel Group. There are currently five phases of planning, and the first phase mainly meets crude oil and iron ore. unloading, and loading of finished products of the two groups.

After Li Guangyu got to know the port for a while, he went to the Xiangjiang petrochemical production base under construction.

Here are mainly aviation fuel, naphtha, and ethylene chemical production bases. As for automobile fuel, ship fuel, large-scale ethylene chemical production bases, fertilizer plants, and asphalt plants, they are all located in Goose City.

At present, the equipment and technology needed by the two major bases has already been negotiated with Gan Qinglin and the Warsaw Pact country. We only need to wait for the construction progress here, and then the shipment will start there, and some technicians will be arranged to guide the production.

The construction here is constantly supervised by Zhou Zhigang, so the construction speed is much faster than planned, and it is expected to be handed over to Xiangjiang Petrochemical Group for use in September.

After that, Li Guangyu and others also visited the construction progress of Western Australia Iron and Steel Company, and went to Xiangjiang International Airport to learn about the construction project of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group base and storage center, as well as the base construction project of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, and also visited Xiangjiang Airlines. Community construction projects.

In the future, flights will be transferred here. In order to allow employees of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group and aircraft engineering companies to settle nearby, Xiangjiang Air Transport Group has also established a community not far from the airport.

After returning to the Wheelock Building, Li Guangyu specially held a meeting with the senior management of several relevant groups, and made some demands on the construction issue on the outlying island.

Li Guangyu said to Guo Qingya: "For the port construction that your Wheelock Construction Company is in charge of, you need to increase manpower, realize two shifts, and strive to complete the first phase of construction in June this year, so that our crude oil can enter. Come, and immediately start the second phase of construction of the oil storage base to enhance our crude oil storage capacity."

Now the first phase of the oil storage base has been completed, but the port has not been completed. Now it is very troublesome to ask the tanker to come over, so now, the oil storage base is still empty and has not been put into use yet.

At present, the construction of Lee's property on the outlying island is mainly in the charge of Wheelock Construction Company and Starlight Real Estate Construction Company. Construction of oil storage bases and production bases.

Guo Qingya said: "Li Sheng, I will make arrangements when I go back and ask Jianye Company to re-plan and ensure that the first phase of the port construction project will be completed in June and delivered to Jiulong Group for use by the end of June."

Li Guangyu also put forward new requirements for the construction speed of several major production bases, increasing manpower and material resources, and striving to put them into trial operation in the second half of the year.

The reason why Li Guangyu let him speed up has a lot to do with the inland side. The construction speed there is amazing. Many construction units are specialized in the army. According to the speed there, whether it is in Beijing, Tianjin, or Shanghai The city is also the oil storage base of Huacheng and Pengcheng, or the production base, oil storage base and port of Goose City, all of which will be put into use in the second half of this year.

You must know that he Xiangjiang has started construction for several months, and as a result, many projects have not yet been put into operation. Naturally, Li Guangyu hopes to speed up, so that the equipment can also be shipped back together, and then installed and put into use at the same time. Avoid some trouble.

Zhou Zhigang is the happiest. He has established Petrochemical Group for such a long time, and he has not even produced a single product. Jiadai Group, which was established around the same time as them, is now flourishing in daily chemical products. It is impossible not to rush.
