this man is not calm

Chapter 471 Delivered to the Door

Speaking of this matter, Li Xuan also knew a thing or two about it.

"This is no longer a minor incident. Strictly speaking, it is illegal mining, right?"

"It's certainly enough to exaggerate, but... those who have the ability to do this are basically powerful local tyrants. It's not difficult to catch a typical example and make an example of him. We can rectify it nationwide..."

Huang Yiyi sighed and shook her head gently.

"If it is not particularly serious or does not cause major adverse consequences, we will basically turn a blind eye. At present, we still focus on economic development and solving the problems of people's clothing, food, clothing, housing and transportation is more urgent."

We still need to clearly distinguish what is the principal contradiction and what is the secondary contradiction.

Jinxi Culture is a large enterprise ranked among the best in the whole country. While aiming to make profits, it also has to take into account certain social responsibilities. This is the fundamental reason why Jin Shang does not unilaterally pursue high technology and high profits.

The top priority is to expand total output, to make it bigger and stronger, first make it bigger and then make it stronger. At this stage, Jin Shang has clearly distinguished the priorities. At a certain stage, the situation will be reversed, but that is another story for later.

only……

"Will this have an impact on our company's layout? What if we acquire the riverside land and develop it with great difficulty, but these guys who sabotage the development mess up the plan and affect it?"

The development of agriculture and animal husbandry is too sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.

The local petrochemical industry cluster project has a great impact on the development of the primary industry. Air and water pollution is inevitable. The impact can only be minimized by a combination of natural degradation and human intervention.

The Yellow River's runoff is not large, and the ecology of the estuary delta is actually very fragile. If it is not properly cared for, it can easily cause secondary pollution.

"Here, President Jin seems to be pinning his hopes on the support of agricultural experts. Our park in Beijing also has the problem of excessive heavy metals in the soil, but it seems to be within a controllable range at present."

Outsiders don’t understand, but Jin Shang knows that in addition to a series of effective monitoring and improvement measures, the secret efforts of the “Golden Broom” are also of paramount importance.

This also made Jin Shang realize the extent to which his "golden finger" can achieve. Accelerating breeding development is only one aspect. In an ambiguous environment of what is feasible and what is not feasible, it can guide it in a positive direction to the greatest extent possible.

For example, the failure rate of photovoltaic modules is low, the efficiency is improved, the wind resources are extremely abundant, and the available electricity is very consistent with the "peak shaving and valley filling" of urban power grid fluctuations. The "virtual power plant" plan, which was originally just a gimmick, actually showed extraordinary value;
In addition, the vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk, etc. produced in the smart city park are of extremely high quality. They are labeled as green products such as pollution-free and pesticide-free, and some people recognize them. Even though the prices are a bit high, they are still very popular.

The local farm pilot project in Dongying is also doing better than expected. The success of sugar beets, soybeans and semi-finished sea rice is one aspect, and even the growth of experimental fields such as giant fungus grass and cassava, which are not resistant to fishing and were not expected to be high, is also very good.

First-class products are put on supermarket shelves or packaged and sold online, second-class products are sold in vegetable markets, third-class products are sent to clothing processing factories to be made into canned food with a long shelf life for wholesale, fourth-class products are used as silage, pet food or fermented feed, and the last-class products can only be put into biogas digesters or returned to the fields as green manure.

"Our company is a high-tech enterprise dedicated to the development of computers and the Internet. Logically, we should focus on civilian electronic products and household appliances. However, network infrastructure and computer popularization have just started, and the user base is too small. We have to turn to empowering enterprise users and providing support services."

Agricultural machinery, automobiles, large household appliances, wind power and photovoltaic power, plant factories and automotive technical systems, etc., cannot rely entirely on ERP systems, CAD applications or a series of office software to take the lead.

Li Xuan also agrees with this point.

"Finding application scenarios is also of utmost importance. It is troublesome to have a diamond drill but not be able to do porcelain work."

The trend towards electrification and intelligence is irreversible. Since we cannot expect leapfrog development in the field of personal computers, one way is to use the expansion of Internet cafes to lead the way. It is also possible to learn from the chrysanthemum factory in the past and penetrate in a deeper and broader direction.

This time Jin Shang came to Dongying not only to see Xingdao Haihua's series of satellite factories, but also had bigger plans.

"Over there...are they hiring locals to harvest rice grass and prepare feed?"

Huang Yiyi looked in the direction Li Xuan pointed, then smiled knowingly and said:
"For temporary workers who are paid by the day, the company rarely goes deep into the grassroots to compete for a few small profits. In Beijing, for waste plastic and paper recycling, they don't really hire people to search through garbage bins. Instead, they connect with various medium and large waste recycling stations and leave a little profit to others. It's the same here. Each village or township enterprise takes the lead, concentrates, and sells wholesale to the forage processing plants here to supply farms and ranches."

If raised under the most ideal conditions, a cow produces ten times as much feces as a pig every day, and the amount of food it eats is also about the same ratio. It has a strong digestive ability and can not only digest plant fiber, but can even digest some lignin. This is exaggerated.

It is not enough to rely solely on growing fodder. Hiring villagers to collect grass for pigs is a win-win situation.

Not only that, the large-scale biogas pool built can even supply the consumption of several diesel and gas-fired trucks. It is self-sufficient and has abundant output. Why not do it?
For three consecutive days, everyone spent their time in a mixture of busyness and leisure.

After the heavy rain, the odor in the air was cleared a lot, there were fewer suspended particles, and visibility was significantly improved. Standing in the observation hall of a star-rated hotel and looking into the distance, you can even see the scenery where the sea and sky meet in the distance, and ships shuttling back and forth.

During this period, Jin Shang basically understood the local situation. The key to breaking the deadlock lies in the boundaries of cooperation among all parties.

There is no doubt that the economic core of Dongying is petrochemical industry. Even if it wants to expand, it will focus on related upstream and downstream industries.

The domestic fuel oil market is expanding, but refined oil products are subject to large fluctuations in international crude oil prices and have general stability. In contrast, downstream deep-processing products, artificial rubber, plastics, fertilizers and other products are much more stable. High-end lubricants, specialty chemical products and emerging environmentally friendly petrochemical products are also on the rise.

Jinshi's textile and clothing business is increasingly dependent on chemical fibers. The farm owned by my second uncle Zhang Hua requires a large amount of fertilizers to increase production, and infrastructure construction also requires a lot of asphalt and tar. As for aviation kerosene and special fuels with higher added value, the demand is also not small.

Jinxi Culture's industries, especially CSSC and Xingdao Marine Chemical, are highly dependent on petrochemicals. A large portion of the fuel oil used by inland ships is produced in the Jiaodong Peninsula. The few gas stations, gas stations and methanol filling stations also need finished fuel oil as raw materials to mix biofuels, and various additives are also inseparable from petrochemical by-products.

There are currently thousands of flexible-fuel trucks operating in various places, and the daily consumption of methanol and oil is extremely high. Relying on recycling waste plastics, straw, wood and paper to produce methanol is not enough at all, and the production of ethanol cannot be increased. At least for now, it is still slightly insufficient to meet the company's own needs.

Looking at the night that was about to fall and the street lights that were gradually lighting up, Jin Shang drank the tea in his cup and said:
"The end-use chemical products here are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. Generally speaking, they have not yet developed. The primary products exported still exchange profits for volume, which means that they do not have the pricing power."

In fact, it is easy to understand if you think about it. Judging from the oil and natural gas reserves in East Asia, the Jiaodong Peninsula and the Bohai Sea are already very rich. However, compared with North Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the Caribbean, there is still a big gap.

Even the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) doesn't want to play with you, which shows what your true status is.

The entire Western Pacific is almost a major consumption area and is not mainly export-oriented.

"Ashan, are you ready to agree?"

"It is not impossible to use our cross-border e-commerce wholesale channels to open up sales for local terminal petrochemical products. In fact, they overestimated the power of Jinxi Mall abroad. In short... we still have to join hands with Sun Daqi. In comparison, Yiguo has more advantages in bulk commodity wholesalers. We mainly focus on high-end electronic products, white appliances and consumer electronics. Of course, this is not a problem. Uncle, I think it is more important to establish a smooth trading channel for bulk commodities..."

"But……"

Zhang Hua was a little worried.

"We are not ready yet. We haven't even built a large-scale trading market for agricultural and sideline products. Isn't it too big a step to add petrochemical products all at once?"

"No, no, no, you are wrong. The petrochemical companies here may be more anxious than us. Domestic demand cannot be met overnight. There is only so much demand in a short period of time. However, the international crude oil price cannot wait. Once the upward channel starts, it will be unstoppable."

Logically speaking, a company that provides oil extraction, refining and sales cannot make a loss. However, when you do not have the pricing power and cannot influence international prices and channels, you can only go with the flow.

North Africa, the Middle East, the North Sea and the Caribbean are too far away and out of reach, but the Far East, which is so close, must have some say, right?

But commodity trading is not something you can do on your own.

Coal, oil, steel, aluminum ingots, copper, gold and natural gas, as well as fertilizers, seeds, oil, wheat, rice and sugar and other agricultural and sideline products. In the future, coffee, tea, fruits and vegetables may also be added.
Nowadays, domestic traders basically have to stay up late to keep an eye on the European and American markets. The day when Western traders stay up late to keep an eye on the Eastern markets will be considered a success and will have proved their strength.

Listening to the conversation between the aunt and nephew, Hong Renquan listened for a while and then made a suggestion:
"In fact, there are several commodity trading markets in North China, Northeast China and the Central Plains, but the categories are limited and the influence is average. Can we integrate them?"

Hearing this, Jin Shang spread his hands helplessly:

"If my great-grandfather came forward, maybe it would work, but I don't have that much face. For this matter... I have to involve my second uncle. He has sufficient shipping capacity in the North Pacific to ensure smooth delivery. At the same time, he also has warehouses and territories in Busan, Hokkaido, Yokohama and the west coast of North America. He has considerable influence. If everyone joins forces, it should be possible..."

"But aren't they all our relatives? Don't they want to take the lead? Why are we doing this for others?"

"Let's not talk about whether they really want to control the futures spot market. Petrochemicals are the foundation, and the others are just byproducts. Maybe they don't have much hope at all, they just try their best. If it works, it's better. If it doesn't, it's just that. But the benefits are real."

After a pause, Jin Shang continued:
"The vice president of the oil company, with his rank, didn't need to try to get close to me. He said he was familiar with Lao Jin, had seen me when I was a child, and had talked to Lao Huang. It was just an instinct for him to be good at socializing. He didn't really think much of me. It's just that... the entry of a third party does help bridge the relationship between the petrochemical system and the local area."

Zhang Hua listened, thought about it for a moment, and then came to his senses:

"Economic ties break down barriers and improve relations between the natives and the Hakkas? Yes, this is the main purpose. Dongying is the base, and we are the catfish that enters the market and stirs up the stagnant water."

How can the two cities, which have no contact with each other and have no access to buses and taxis, establish a deep-seated relationship of interests and implement central-local cooperation? This may be more practical for those who want to pursue a career in politics.

Don’t think that people in high positions are blind. Didn’t Chongzhen think about eliminating factional disputes and reviving the Ming Dynasty?
I want to kill the enemy, but I am powerless to do anything about it!
The situation is so bad that it is difficult to resolve it internally, but if a strong third party were to coordinate, there would be room for maneuver.

The first step of "breaking the ice" to establish connections is the most important. A project that is too small is meaningless and too big cannot be handled. The scale of commodity transactions that are closely related to all parties is just right.

"Uncle, the agricultural and sideline products e-commerce platform in your hometown has gone bankrupt without a sound. Let's contact them and ask if they want to join the bulk commodity trading market that is being planned. How can a local platform have as much influence as a platform in the capital?"

"I'll try. This is a big deal. It's hard to talk about. There are too many stakeholders involved."

Although there are few markets, there is more than one. Others have multiple choices and do not have to trade in this market.

To put it bluntly, it still depends on which company has a stronger ability to integrate the supply chain, greater influence, and higher recognition.

"Let's do it first. Anyway, we are the 'big brother'. The more 'little brothers' we recruit, the better. Don't be afraid of small things. Let's set up the shop first. We'll see if we can make it bigger!"

Don't worry about qualifications. Jin Shang is confident that he can handle it. This is one of the reasons why others came to us for cooperation.

"Let's do it this way first. It's just a favor, it doesn't cost much, just get some benefits first and get some more land. Interest-free loans, low-interest loans, as long as you dare to give, I dare to take it. Besides, there are too many satellite factories here. Let's promote a regional manager, but there is no suitable candidate. It's better to make a preliminary integration, push it to the secondary market, and sort it out with the power of capital. Let's list the paint factory first!"
