China is a big oil refining country. Because the authorities attach great importance to the energy industry, the refining and chemical production capacity has exceeded 100 million tons in 1988. It is estimated that the annual refining and chemical volume in 1998 will be 170 million tons. Compared with Japan's 240 million tons of 750 million tons, but compared to other countries such as Germany with a refining capacity of 110 million tons, it is still more than enough.

However, there are also obvious problems.

That is, the deep processing capacity in the refining and chemical field is seriously insufficient. Most of them are basic primary refining and chemical products such as diesel and gasoline, and the quality is generally not flattering. As for basic industrial raw materials such as olefins in the deep processing field, such as ethylene products that are currently scarce in mainland China, it is estimated that the annual production capacity in 1998 will only be about 3.7 million tons, which is only equivalent to 8% of the annual output of 45 million tons of ethylene in the United States.

It is conceivable that if the olefin basic chemical raw materials that China's refining and chemical industry can provide are long-term insufficient, and cannot supply massive synthetic rubber, artificial fiber, synthetic plastics and other products, it will be difficult for China to become the world's factory.

In the year that is about to pass, in order to deal with the shortcomings in the petrochemical field, the Chinese government deliberately integrated related industries, reorganized and established two major groups, PetroChina and Sinopec. CNOOC's IPO also started to advance under this background, with the goals of In order to promote the industrial upgrading of China's petrochemical field.

The two refining and chemical projects of the Westeros system in Lianyungang and Ningbo were also produced under the background of this industrial reform.

China's refining and chemical industry does not prohibit the entry of foreign capital. Of course, not to mention potential barriers, at least on the surface, including the attitude of the upper echelons of the authorities, they also hope that foreign capital can be introduced to strengthen competition and achieve the catfish effect.

The problem is, no one will see things so simple.

Therefore, the Westeros system provides two refining and chemical integration projects, a complete deep processing field, rather than a basic oil refinery that produces various primary oils. This will first avoid competition with various local snakes in the basic business .

However, the problem remains.

The key is that these two projects are really big. The annual refining and chemical output of each is 5 million tons. The sum of the two is 10 million tons, which is directly equivalent to 6% of China's total refining and chemical production capacity.

Another example is the production capacity of specific basic compounds, not other basic materials of aromatic hydrocarbons, but the most critical ethylene as an example. The production capacity of a single plant is 300,000 tons, and the total capacity of the two factories in the two places is 600,000 tons.

China's total ethylene production capacity in 1998 was only 3.7 million tons, or 16% directly.

Moreover, if the two factories develop well, it is impossible to say that they will not be allowed to expand production in the future. With the strength of the Westeros system, it is likely to develop into a larger refining and chemical industry cluster.

In short, even in the current plan, the proportion of China's state-owned capital in the two factories will reach 30% to 40%, which will inevitably cause various concerns from all parties, or worry about the impact on China's refining and chemical industry structure, or worry about their own. The territory has been invaded, or more conspiracy theories worry that this is overseas capital's plan to attack China's refining and chemical industry upgrading plan, blah blah blah.

Of course, there are also a lot of people in favor.

The first is a huge investment of US$1 billion. After the financial turmoil, China is now experiencing deflation and there is a shortage of funds in various fields. Both cooperative enterprises and local governments are eager to eat it.

This is a lot of gdp.

Secondly, some people in the upper echelons of the government hope to introduce these two catfish to stimulate the state-owned giants who are inevitably lazy under the protection of policies to work hard, and at the same time create a large number of jobs in the context of the continuing wave of layoffs and ease domestic conflicts.

In the case of see-saw between all parties, there was finally this meeting in the capital.

The Lianyungang project has actually been approved, and this time it is mainly aimed at Ningbo. However, to put it bluntly, if the project in Ningbo fails to pass the approval, the Lianyungang side is just the beginning after all. Since similar investments are not popular, in order to ensure the safety of their own capital, it is difficult to say whether there will be changes in the future, and the possibility of direct cancellation Not big, but it can be expected if the scale of investment is reduced.

This is a result that everyone knows well.

After all, even if Simon has a good relationship with the Chinese high-level, the problem is that the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is hard to deal with.

Still the kind that can stalk people to death.

People with a little experience, especially businessmen, understand this truth.

Simon wasn't naive either.

Therefore, if you don’t get clear support at the beginning and push forward reluctantly, the follow-up is likely to be troublesome.

The meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon lasted until more than five o'clock. For more than three hours, you came and went, there were praises and criticisms, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Chen Qing didn't speak the whole time, but just listened silently, and occasionally lowered her head to write a few words in the notepad.

After the meeting was over, just after leaving the conference room, Lin Lan approached Chen Qing and said worriedly, "Sister Chen, do you think it will be possible?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly, indicating that we will talk later, and smiled and exchanged simple greetings with a high-level executive from the State Planning Commission who came out immediately after.

Then two or three others did the same.

Lin Lan is also a human being. After watching quietly, she finally left the office building and came to the parking lot. She put her arm around Chen Qing with a smile: "Sister Chen, it depends on the situation. Is it okay?"

While talking, he squeezed his eyes on purpose.

I have to say that both of them were born in 1968, the same year as someone, and it is not clear who is older than who is younger.

Here, Lin Lan, who happened to ignore this question, also subconsciously called Chen Qing, Sister Chen.

Chen Qing didn't care about these details either, and said, "In the next two days, there should be results."

Lin Lan saw that Chen Qing didn't intend to say more, and there were many people around, so she didn't ask any more questions, and instead said: "Sister Chen, there is a reception dinner here in the capital, do you want to go together?"

Chen Qing shook her head: "Forget it this time, I have flown more than half a circle around the earth in the past few days, so I need to take a good rest tonight."

Lin Lan didn't force her, but said, "I'll be in the capital for the next few days, when will we have dinner together?"

Chen Qing asked back, "Where do you live?"

Lin Lan said: "Provincial guest house."

Chen Qing also liked this girl with similar personality, so she invited, "Why don't you come to Mao'er Alley, we can have dinner together anytime."

"Oh, I'm not going," Lin Lan shook her head with a strange expression, and added: "My sister deliberately didn't let me go."

Chen Qing immediately thought of Lin Su and the second little guy in the other party's belly, and she was in a bad mood: "That's fine."

Lin Lan knew that Chen Qing was actually not a good-tempered person, so she didn't mind seeing her change of face.

The two sides chatted for a few more words, and the investment team representative of Westeros Corporation and the person in charge of South Korea's SK Group also came to say hello. The latter was Zhong Shenhao who was personally selected by Chen Qing. A middle-aged man who was promoted to power without being imprisoned.

Seeing that Zhong Shenhao approached him respectfully and greeted him, Chen Qing also smiled and chatted with the other party for a few words, interspersed with a few Chinese sentences by the way to test the other party's Chinese ability.

This is Chen Qing's request to the Korean team.

At present, in China, foreign investment is basically submissive, and few dare to ask the representatives of the other party to master Chinese. It is the initiative of this side, and only Chen Qing dares to do so.

It's not for seeking a sense of superiority, but for the smooth progress of the project.

After chatting like this for a while, Chen Qing nodded to express her satisfaction, then remembered another thing, and said to Zhong Shenhao: "Your speech on the prospect of the refining and chemical industry at the meeting was good, is it the draft, give me a copy?"

"Yes, of course." Zhong Shenhao responded with a bow, and said to a young man behind him, "Hao Xian, give me the draft of the speech."

The young man was standing not far from the two of them, and he was slightly puzzled by Zhong Shenhao's groveling in front of Chen Qing. When he heard the call, he stepped forward two steps before he realized it. He opened his handbag, bowed his head and began to search.

rummage rummage.

Chen Qing waited patiently for more than ten seconds, finally frowned, and looked at Zhong Shenhao, her tone was no longer polite: "Is this your illegitimate child?"

Feeling Chen Qing's mocking tone, Zhong Shenhao started to break out in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to hide it: "Miss Chen, this is Haoxian, my nephew, oh, he is also Enjing's brother, Quan Enjing."

While the two were talking, Quan Haoxian finally found the information. Of course, he heard the conversation between the two nearby. He was unavoidably nervous, so he handed the thin speech paper to Chen Qing with one hand.

Chen Qing didn't answer, but glanced at Zhong Shenhao.

Zhong Shenhao felt that there was more than just cold sweat on his forehead, he turned around decisively, took the document and slapped his nephew on the face at the same time: "Idiot, didn't your mother teach you how to be polite?"

After finishing speaking, regardless of the young man who staggered back a few times, when he turned to Chen Qing, his smiling face changed, and he bowed and offered the manuscript with both hands: "Miss Chen, I'm really sorry."

Chen Qing just took it, handed it to Jiang Shanwu beside her, and then said to Zhong Shenhao: "I don't care whose brother he is, or what garbage you collect into your team, if the project in Ningbo can't be done well, , I will only make trouble for you, Mr. Zhong, you should know that I am very good at making trouble for people, understand?"

Zhong Shenhao bowed again tremblingly: "Yes."

Seeing him nodding, Chen Qing didn't say anything more, turned around, got into the car and drove away.

In the parking lot, including Lin Lan and the others who hadn't left, even though they couldn't hear the conversation between the two sides, they all watched the scene with surprise and even horror.

Who else dares to do this to Korean friends?

Zhong Shenhao maintained a respectful posture until Chen Qing's car disappeared from sight, then straightened up, he didn't care about the strange expressions of the people around him, he knew very well the brutality of a certain female Rakshasa, and if he lost face, he would lose it, Wanting to get it back is courting death. So he just got into his car silently, and signaled to his nephew who was beaten just now to be by his side.

When the car started, Zhong Shenhao, who still couldn't hide his depression after all, saw his nephew next to him covering his face and looking at him frequently, became angry again, raised his hand to cover his face, and gave another blow: "Idiot, you idiot, I let you Think hard about your work, I told you to study Chinese hard, you fucking know how to pick up girls, Chinese girls are easy to pick up, right, it’s a pity, you can’t pick up anymore, you go back to Korea tomorrow morning!”

Quan Haoxian, who was crushed by his uncle with his head in his arms, was not angry at all. Hearing that Zhong Shenhao wanted to drive him back to Korea, he became anxious: "Uncle, what did I do wrong? Can you explain it?"

Zhong Shenhao directly slapped him again, but unfortunately he only slapped his head this time, but his palm became painful, and scolded: "Idiot, didn't you hear what I said just now? Since you don't know where you are wrong, then You should go back to Korea."

"I just found that the file is a little full, is it that serious?"

Zhong Shenhao simply ignored it.

Quan Haoxian, who talked back, saw his uncle like this, but felt guilty. He came to China during this time, and he was hugged and hugged everywhere.

And the women here... In short, these are things that a jobless vagrant in Korea would never have dared to think about. If he was driven back to Korea... how could it be possible.

Thinking of this, Quan Haoxian paused, he didn't want to admit his mistake and beg for mercy, but said: "Uncle, last time, don't forget that it was my Enjing who called someone to help you avoid... going to jail , you can't do this to me."

Hearing this, Zhong Shenhao twitched the corner of his mouth, he was too lazy to call again, and he didn't explain to his worthless nephew that the person his niece called for help was probably the woman just now, he just took out a cigarette and lit it. He said again: "You go back tomorrow, try your best to learn Chinese well, and have professional knowledge in refining. I will take the test in person after one year. If you pass, I will let you come and help me."

Quan Haoxian realized that his uncle was playing for real, and finally couldn't sit still: "Uncle, I won't go back, I, can't I be wrong, I will start working hard tomorrow."

Zhong Shenhao just said: "I'll let someone book your ticket for tomorrow."

Quan Haoxian was anxious again: "I, I won't go back."

Zhong Shenhao gritted his teeth and stared at him: "You can try."

Quan Haoxian moved his body on the seat, and quietly moved away from his uncle, so as not to be beaten again, he still said: "I won't go back."

"I'll have someone tie you to the plane."

The atmosphere then fell into silence.

After a while, Quan Haoxian finally began to beg for mercy: "Uncle, you can't do this to me, my mother, and Eun Kyung, you can't do this to me."

Zhong Shenhao also exploded again, and slapped him again: "Idiot, why do you think I brought you to China? I'm not good enough for you, but, look at what you have done during this time, you idiot, Mud, unworthy guy."

Of course, Chen Qing didn't know the follow-up of these nonsense. On the second day after the meeting, she was summoned again to the big yamen where the meeting was organized yesterday. , things have also settled down.
