According to Sioux City's usual habit, it is necessary to recruit partners to jointly tackle key problems.

He thought for a while, and smiled at Governor Wan: "If the State Planning Commission is concerned, I may be able to find someone. Can the Ministry of Railways ask the province to come forward and coordinate. We can sign a long-term transportation agreement, and they will never lose money. "

What he was thinking of was Director Ding of the Economic Reform Commission. After coming and going, the two of them were considered to be familiar with each other.

Governor Wan rolled his eyelids when he heard what he said, then smiled and said, "Okay, then we will tackle key problems separately according to this distribution method. However, the Ministry of Railways does not yet have trains for transporting liquefied petroleum gas. It is estimated that it will cost a certain amount of money in this regard." time."

Su Cheng nodded slightly, but he didn't take it seriously. In his mind, the Ministry of Railways has a lot of construction projects in Shanxi, and government coordination is needed everywhere. This is the basis for Governor Wan's negotiations. Although the liquefied natural gas trains are expensive , but with the support of a 5-year long-term agreement, you shouldn't be reluctant.

Huo Chang moved his body, and whispered to Su Cheng's ear, "Coal mine."

Su Cheng slightly shook his head hesitantly, but didn't say anything right away.Coal mines can be bought if you have money, but if you have empty gloves and white wolves, it will be a bit ugly to eat.

If he didn't say it, Governor Wan would naturally not press him.

The two sides talked about some details, agreed on the time for the next meeting, and then turned around.

Huo Chang was a little disappointed, and asked: "Su Dong, if we don't open our mouths before the petrochemical base is built, they probably won't sell coal mines to us cheaply."

"The price of coal mines is unstable, and we are not in a hurry to sell." This is the result of Su Cheng's long-term thinking, and it is also a conclusion derived from memory.He paused, and said: "The top priority now is to transport all the three sets of gas head methanol equipment dismantled from Brazil back to China, and strive to complete these purchases in the first half of the year."

It is now February, and it is 2 months before the end of the first half of the year.Huo Chang felt that the time was tight and said: "The several sets of equipment we purchased in the Americas and New Zealand have not been negotiated, and they will be shipped back to China in the first half of the year. The time is too tight, and the achievements are high."

"It's normal to bear a little more burden at this time." Su Cheng thought to himself, when China is blocked by other countries again in the second half of the year, it will be purely on his own time.So he added: "Spend more now, spend less later."

Huo Chang didn't know why, but he did it as usual.

A few days before the Spring Festival.Sioux Cheng, Governor Wan and other people went to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings, chatting and teasing along the way, hoping to get the approval as soon as possible.

However, in the capital, this is not the case at all.

Governor Wan went to visit the Ministry of Railways and got a negative answer, and the Planning Commission also clearly told Sioux City that even if the petrochemical base was approved, only export sales were allowed, and domestic sales were not allowed.In other words, the methanol produced by the petrochemical base established in Shanxi can only be sold abroad...

This is the trump card of the Planning Commission. With the current production mode in China, domestic sales are easy and export sales are difficult. If the 50 tons of methanol are all exported, it will kill the petrochemical base in Shanxi. From Shanxi, it can radiate nationwide sales. If the sales area is placed overseas, the transportation cost will erode more than half of the profits.

This is tantamount to an objection.In fact, what the Planning Commission can decide is the domestic market. If a company is export-oriented and only sells to foreign markets, the Planning Commission has no control at all, and there may be many preferential policies.

On the 29th day of the lunar calendar, the New Year greeting project is basically over.

Su Cheng met with Governor Wan, his face full of frustration.

"In this way, the loan may not be approved." Governor Wan sighed, and said, "I waited for a few days. The Ministry of Railways means that even if there is a locomotive, it will take about five years to arrange freight. , let's estimate the production status..."

"We can build a petrochemical base in at most two years, and products will come in and out in one year." Sioux City was extremely disappointed.

For him, this was a huge setback.Moreover, the petrochemical base is actually linked to the oil fields in Abu Dhabi. If the petrochemical base cannot be completed on schedule, it will cause a chain reaction.

The curse of not being able to complete the contract tightened instantly.

Sioux Cheng asked again: "Formosa Plastics will also participate in this investment. Has the Ministry of Railways considered this aspect?"

Governor Wan shook his head and said: "They just said that the transportation capacity is tight and they are unable to increase the transportation volume. That is to say, the number of liquefied petroleum gas trucks will not increase, and even the transportation conditions of one million tons per year cannot be achieved."

The Ministry of Railways is one of the few economic ministries that has not been abolished.Its combat effectiveness is similar 30 years ago and 30 years later.

Su Cheng sighed, and said, "I don't know anyone from the Ministry of Railways anymore. Is there any other way?"

"Secretary Qiao went to the State Council to visit the relevant leaders yesterday. He didn't come to any conclusion. The main thing is for us to discuss with the relevant ministries and commissions." Governor Wan was in a heavier mood than him, and he sat down and said, "Su Dong, can you consider it? What about changing the raw material for methanol production to coal? In this case, it will not only be close to the raw material origin, but also facilitate sales, and reduce the cost pressure.”

Su Cheng thought to himself, for your province, coal head petrochemical is naturally good, but for me, it is thankless.

He knew in his heart that within five years at most, that is, at the end of 5, the global methanol price would reach a peak of US$1994 per ton.Coupled with the unification of the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar, 500 US dollars can be exchanged for 500 yuan, which can be said to be the highest price in history, twice the price 4400 years later.

The excess profit in this is enough to make up for all losses.The formation advantage of the coal head relative to the gas head has disappeared.On the contrary, Yuqitou's methanol production process is simple. Once the production is stable, it is very easy to increase production. Compared with the investment of more than one billion yuan in coal-tou natural gas, the one-time investment of Qitou is also low.

However, the foundation of everything is that the petrochemical base can be established.

This is not a simple facility that can solve the problem.The area of ​​a petrochemical base is much larger than that of a county, and there is no problem in forming a city of its own.

"Gas methanol and synthetic ammonia are the production methods determined by Dahua Industry." Su Cheng showed an apologetic expression, and immediately connected, saying: "In any case, our petrochemical base must be built. If it is not possible, we will I will introduce the Formosa Plastics Group to invest in your province."

This was the first time that Su Cheng expressed his intention to retreat, and his heart was also tense helplessly.

Governor Wan can understand the choice of Sioux City. If the railway cannot be handled, the angry methanol will not be able to continue.However, he still wanted to continue to work hard, and said through gritted teeth: "If Dahua Industrial invests in coal-headed methanol, we can borrow a few coal mines."

"Ok?"

"Dahua can get the coal mine immediately, whether it is to organize production and sales, or to stockpile goods. And there is no need to pay first. After the coal head methanol is put into production and generates profits, the profit will be used to pay for the coal mine."

This is tantamount to giving Sioux City a few coal mines for nothing.Purely in terms of price, at least tens of millions of dollars.

Su Cheng hesitated again, and said apologetically, "Methanol is really not the technology we want to develop."

His investment in Shanxi is largely due to the coal resources in Shanxi.In terms of time, as long as he is given 2 years to solve the problem of natural gas underwriting, he will be able to take the momentum of victory and visit the "famous mountains and rivers" in the west of the mountain. When the time comes, he will naturally get whichever coal mine he wants. Which coal mine.

This kind of political business in China is actually a political business followed by foreigners.It's the same with taking risks first and then reaping huge profits.The coal in Shanxi has been mined for hundreds of years, and generations of people have been rich. They are very aware of the value of the land under their feet. Even in the era of low coal prices, it is very difficult to obtain those coal mines with reserves exceeding 30 million Yes. In the legendary story of getting rich overnight, except for the children of officials, even at the best time, the coal mines that can be obtained cheaply are at most [-] million tons of mines for [-] to [-] years, and the total price is hundreds of millions of yuan.

If you want to get a good coal mine, you must first have in-depth cooperation with the government.

However, Governor Wan's request was obviously beyond Sioux City's reach.

After a few feints, Governor Wan bid farewell and left.

The two came here in high spirits, but returned in disappointment, both in a bad mood.

Su Cheng booked a flight for the evening and planned to leave today.Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I can't do business even if I stay in Beijing.

With thoughts in his head, he drank Moutai by himself.For banquets on weekdays, he would drink at most three or four ounces of wine until the end, but today he couldn't help pouring it down.

He filled another glass, but when he was about to drink, the glass was covered.

"Su Dong, why are you drinking alone?" The person who came was Wang Sheng.

Su Cheng stuck out his tongue and said, "Why are you here? Aren't you going home for the New Year?"

"I brought my wife and children to Beijing" to play in Beijing, and celebrate the New Year in the mainland this year. Wang Sheng smiled, and asked again: "The talk didn't go well?" "

Su Cheng shook his head.

"It can't be more difficult than Abu Dhabi."

"Abu Dhabi, I know the result. This time, I don't know." Su Cheng was a little dizzy from drinking, so he said it casually, shivered instantly, and became a little sober.

But Wang Sheng thought he was referring to the crown prince, so he said with a smile: "In mainland China, you can also find the upper echelon. If the Ministry of Railways can't solve the problem, it may be a small problem when it comes to the upper echelon."

Su Cheng seemed to nod his head clearly, but said with a smile: "They have contacted the relevant leaders, but the matter is too small, so they called back."

Seeing Su Cheng like this, Wang Sheng didn't show any surprise at all. Instead, he smiled happily and said mysteriously: "Boss Su, we, Formosa Plastics, have a big plan, which is estimated to be implemented in the second half of the year. There are no disadvantages, your current preferential terms are nothing at all..."

Su Cheng was half dizzy from drinking, and saw the old Taiwanese man in front of him speaking Mandarin with a delicate Taiwanese accent, grinning, and almost stretched out an orchid finger, suddenly jolted, and suddenly thought of their boss, Wang Yongqing once said:

In the past, the strength of a country was determined by its steel production, but today's situation is different. The change is determined by the output of the petrochemical industry, and the whole world is developing in this direction!

He suddenly sobered up, and Formosa Plastics would cooperate with him. There must be a big event. He may not be able to handle a petrochemical base in Shanxi, but they used to let the central leaders draw a circle in Xiamen. ...

Enduring the cold, Su Cheng replied with a smirk, stretched out his hand to hold Wang Sheng and said, "Come, come, have a few drinks with me."
