Chapter 288 Equipment Company

General Manager Xuan and Wen Zhaohong don't want to see Dahua Industrial expand its advantages. Formosa Plastics can do the Haicang Project, Sinopec can do the Haicang Project, and it's okay not to do the Haicang Project, but private companies or private companies can't do it.

This line of thinking is consistent throughout. Before 98, due to the weak strength of the three barrels of oil, domestic profits were relatively small, and some joint ventures and private companies took advantage. After 98, with the reorganization of the petroleum system and the listing in Hong Kong, there was no shortage of funds Chinese oil companies immediately surrounded China with a fence, only giving opportunities to foreign companies that can jump high.

This is the strength of central enterprises.PetroChina and other companies are oil companies on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are also the makers of China's oil policy. In the United States, they are equivalent to the Senate Energy Committee, Exxon Mobil Board of Directors, and the New York Times Energy Edition... unless the State Council Intervene, otherwise, they are the authority on one-third of an acre of oil, and they can produce whatever documents they think of, and 5 yuan of printing paper can eliminate a competitor.

Only foreign-funded enterprises that also receive support from foreign governments have the ability to enter the Chinese market.Of course it's not easy.

In 1991, there was still a gap in the oil system. In order to make up for it, General Manager Xuan and Wen Zhaohong visited several places in one day, and finally persuaded Director Mao to advance the meeting time with Wang Yongqing to February 2.

In this report, the central government will respond to various requests made by Formosa Plastics. If Formosa Plastics also agrees, the two parties can sign an agreement and put the Haicang plan into practice.If Formosa Plastics disagrees, it can be regarded as a conclusion, and Sinopec can decide to give up or enter a state of preparation.

The meeting is still going on at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.Su Cheng moved in one day earlier, and it was still the same small building as last time. Chen Zunian, Huo Chang, Liu Qiu and others also moved in, and they fell into heated discussions non-stop.

"I suggest Casali. We are already producing 10 tons of methanol. Among the two 2 tons of methanol equipment under construction, Casali has the best working condition and the lowest unit cost. The lowest energy consumption, maintenance The requirements are a little higher, but our workers can meet them." Huo Chang pointed to the 10-ton ethylene plant model on the table.It was sent by the Swiss company Casali.

Next to this ethylene equipment is the 80-ton ethylene model of BASF in Germany. Liu Qiu looked around it several times, and then said: "The technology of BASF is better. Look at these normal temperature oil pipes and low temperature tanks..."

"The price is also expensive, maybe 1 yuan more per ton." Huo Chang hated things that exceeded the budget.In the case of sufficient funds, the total price of large vinyl equipment is meaningless, only the unit price and production cost are considered.Because ethylene is sold as much as it is produced, there is no sales pressure, and it is in the production process.The larger the unit price and cost of ethylene equipment, the lower the cost, so chemical products such as ethylene methanol will become bigger and bigger.Otherwise, economic-oriented capitalism would not produce 80 tons of ethylene.They'll do 80 to 1 tons of ethylene.Then find a cheap place to combine them.

Liu Qiu is a technician born under the banner of socialism, and he sneered at Huo Chang's caressing.Said: "If we want to choose someone to study, we must choose a better one. BASF's equipment is the most advanced in the world. If we get some technology from him, what we learn will be more advanced, right?"

"You want BASF to transfer technology? Impossible!" Zhang Chao joined the battle group and said, "BASF is the largest chemical conglomerate in the world. It is called Kang Caien in their German. Their headquarters is the same as our state-owned enterprises, with hundreds of employees. Kilometers of railways, thousands of buildings, hundreds of kilometers of roads, their own hospitals and schools, and branch factories in more than 100 countries around the world, which is equivalent to how many CNPCs. Think about it, what CNPC can give you Technology transfer?"

Liu Qiu didn't think about the problem like Zhang Chao did. He rubbed his messy hair, looked at Su Cheng with a smile and said, "If we can adopt BASF's technology, maybe in a few years, we can also make large ethylene."

Su Cheng smiled and asked, "How many years?"

"Pure large ethylene, 5 years." Liu Qiu thought carefully.

"It's just a set of large ethylene equipment for five years. It's not cost-effective, Mr. Su." Zhang Chao quickly stopped him: "How much demand for large ethylene can the world have in a year? On average, the annual output value is only one hundred We are not like a company like BASF, which has accumulated assets before, and we have to repurchase all the assets, which is too expensive. It will not be able to recover the cost in 10 years."

Liu Qiu retorted: "This is the economic account, we have to calculate the technical account."

"Even if it is a technical account, can your cost of expanding ethylene be lower than the purchase cost? Another one, if you are asked to produce 60 tons of ethylene, can you continue to produce 100 million tons?"

Liu Qiu's face collapsed, and he said, "I didn't say to make 60 tons first. There are only a few individuals in our Dahua laboratory, and we have to accumulate from scratch. Do 30 tons first?"

"Sinopec's 30-ton ethylene project is about to be completed, so what are we doing with 30 tons? If you want to transfer technology, it's much easier to find someone from Daqing than BASF." Zhang Chao was referring to the Yangzi Ethylene Project introduced by China. The project code-named 877 is the top priority after the establishment of Sinopec. It is said to be the second largest project in China after the Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project. It cost 70 billion yuan and is currently in the final construction period.

Normally, the 877 tons of ethylene for the 30 project can be completed within this year.Sinopec's willingness to reject and welcome the Haicang plan is also here.They have to make sure that their 30 tons of ethylene can be produced before they dare to undertake the 70 tons of ethylene project planned by Haicang.

This kind of large-scale project can no longer be made by leveling the land and building blocks.For example, the Yangzi Ethylene Project was approved in the 70s, but half of it was stopped in 79 due to national economic adjustments.It was not until the establishment of Sinopec in 1983 that the construction was resumed. The media described it as a "magnificent and comprehensive project".Yangzi Petrochemical chanted the slogan "Everything is for 877, everything serves 877", and it took 8 years to do it. It was not until 1991 that we vaguely saw the progress of the test run.

Counting from the beginning, it took China nearly a few years to install and complete this set of ethylene equipment. It has also gone through 8 years of hard work since Sinopec took over.

The War of Resistance Against Japan lasted only 8 years.For many people in Sinopec, the painful memory of the large ethylene project is still fresh, and then take over the baton of the Haicang project to produce 8 tons of ethylene in 70 years?Many people in Sinopec could not accept it emotionally.

These 8 years are 8 years of pure expenditure and no income.

At this time, Sioux City also realized the difficulty of expanding ethylene. In addition to technical pressure, construction and payment collection are also extremely difficult. The movement that took place in China, the ongoing political adjustment in Taiwan, or the situation such as the Gulf War Changes will affect the construction and payment of large vinyl.

A company like BASF has a solid background. From the 70s to the 90s, Dahua Industrial could not have such strength.

At the same time, China introduced four 4-ton large ethylene units at the same time. For an ordinary company that is not well-known, one year is enough to drag them to death.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng shook his head, and said: "It's too far away from the topic, let's discuss the equipment issue first, and digest the technology later."

"Yes." Zhang Chao replied happily.He works in the supply chain in the strategy department, and has always advocated tightening. He thinks that Dahua Industrial's current stall is too big, and some companies should be sold or divided. Therefore, when he heard that Liu Qiu wanted to expand ethylene, he was the first to jump. Come out against it.

Liu Qiu made a last-ditch effort and said, "Equipment needs to be connected with technology to talk about it. For example, in terms of maintenance, if we don't talk about technology transfer, BASF probably won't let us repair core components. Maybe repairing the parts yourself would save a lot of money.”

Hearing what he said, Huo Chang agreed: "It's good to transfer technology as a bargaining chip. Foreign countries also know that our country has such a habit of purchasing equipment."

"Yes, transfer and maintenance can be discussed, but Dahua's capital is small, and the first thing to consider is the rapid commissioning of equipment." Su Cheng actually likes technology, but his strength does not allow it.

Liu Qiu laughed, and said, "So that's BASF?"

"I think Casali's is more convenient." Huo Chang returned to the previous question.

Zhang Chao, on the other hand, said, "I think whichever company has the most influence should be used. Maybe it's better to find an American or British company. There are many problems with large-scale projects, and Formosa Plastics is a Taiwan-funded company. Enterprises are Fortune [-] companies in the world, and they have so many things to do in the Haicang Project and the Six Light Projects, so it is even more difficult for us. Equipment companies and lending banks must be able to support it.”

"That's right. This is a problem. Our bodies are too thin, so we should find someone with a good reputation." Su Cheng quickly made a decision, and said, "Li Lin, you should immediately ask Casali and BASF about government relations. Yan Xuecan, ask Jensen if any American companies are interested."

Just as Formosa Plastics and Evergreen Group helped Dahua in the bidding for the Seitan oil field, a project worth billions of dollars is enough to make BASF or Casali resist the government departments of any country.

No country has a ministerial agency worth $10 billion.

However, among Chinese enterprises, only Dahua Industrial can adopt various strategies so flexibly.If the huge Sinopec wants to purchase equipment, the focus of consideration of the procurement manager will inevitably be different from that of Dahua.

Everyone in the room was busy.

Su Cheng also went back to his room, writing at his desk.Tomorrow's meeting will be decisive for the Haicang plan, and any effort can only have the greatest effect before the high-level decision is made.
