"Old Zhong, let me introduce you. This is Director Su of Dahua Industrial. He just came back from the former Soviet Union and came to our place." He Han very politely brought him into the private room, and then said to Su Cheng: " Director Zhong is because we are very concerned about COSCO Shipping, and he has helped us argue several times..."

In two simple sentences, He Han explained Director Zhong's background to Su Cheng.Because China's shipbuilding industry was monopolized by the CSSC Group, formerly known as the Sixth Machinery Department, in the early years. Director Zhong wanted to help COSCO Shipyard argue for it, and the opponent must be CSSC.

"Struggling with reason" may be an exaggerated description of He Han, but even if he can just speak, it already shows that he has a profound background.

The relationship between Sioux City and the Petroleum Corporation is nothing more than talking.

Moreover, Director Zhong is a real administrative cadre, much tougher than an enterprise cadre like He Han.As soon as his hand touched Su Cheng politely, he took it back, and said with a smile: "It's my job to help COSCO. I can't let others take advantage of the temporary difficulties. The work of our State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, The first priority is not to lose state-owned assets."

Su Cheng's face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "COSCO Shipping has no difficulties in its operation, it's just a matter of earning more and less. I think that having too many mothers-in-law is the biggest hidden danger of COSCO Shipping."

Today is different.A project worth hundreds of millions of dollars is equivalent to Tang Monk meat on the way westward. If he shows a little weakness, the director Zhong, the south director, the west director and the like will immediately show their fangs, and have a delicious meal in front of the public .

He Han looked helpless, and hurriedly said: "Look at me, I am too old to even greet guests. Please sit down first, drink some wine to moisten your throat."

Director Zhong's age was about the same as Hu Jian's, and he was more than 10 years younger than He Han, so it was hard to talk about it, so he staggered towards the banquet with bear steps instead.

The seats in the box were quietly changed.The 18 newly made dishes are neatly arranged, and there are several bottles of wine in the middle. In addition to the common white wine and red wine, there is also local rice wine, which can be regarded as a special feature of the banquet in this port.

Su Cheng raised his chin slightly, and sat down on the main seat ahead of the slow-moving director.

Previously, he had given up the main seat to He Han. At this time, He Han would not be able to sit.

Director Zhong stopped walking, showing a little anger.

Su Cheng looked at the seat next to him and chuckled twice.

He Han stroked his forehead and thought: I'm really a two hundred and five, please sit down!

This is going to be replaced by the movie Young and Dangerous. After the two sides stare at each other for 30 seconds, it's time to start the movie.

But Director Zhong is a civilized person, or in other words, even if he wanted to start a film, his bear-like figure couldn't support such a high-intensity homework.

After staring for a while, Director Zhong still sat on the side under He Han's persuasion.

He Han was so tired, his forehead was full, he was really sweating, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, wiped off the matter with his sleeve, thinking: I am a deputy minister, why do I feel like a deputy department.

Sitting firmly this time, He Han was unwilling to speak no matter what.He Yuwei winked, and a group of COSCO people who accompanied the wine swarmed up.

Director Zhong did not refuse, took two sips of wine from the glass, and ate some vegetables, he came in such a hurry that he didn't have time to eat.

Padding his stomach a bit, Director Zhong's expression eased, he raised his glass to Su Cheng, calmed down the situation and said, "Don't blame me, Mr. Su, for not seeing the world. I heard from Mr. He that Dahua Industry needs to prepare 3 million U.S. dollars. , make a boat?"

"The combined budget for shipyards and ships is 3 million U.S. dollars." This amount of money is almost pure investment in fixed assets.It does not include technology transfer and patent costs, nor labor and training costs.Due to the rapid development of LNG ships, investment costs have been rising year after year, almost 8% every year.Therefore, if the shipyard is invested 10 years later, 10 billion US dollars will not be enough.

Director Zhong chuckled and said, "It takes one year to build a shipyard and three years to build a ship. From this point of view, it will take four years to recover half of the investment, and it must go well. Director Su is really proud."

He threw a piece of meat into his mouth, biting the brittle bone with a crackling sound.

Su Cheng played with the wine glass with his hand, and said lightly: "If it really goes well, the shipyard will not take one year, and the shipbuilding will not take two years."

"Su Dong was joking. I know a little about shipbuilding. It takes a year for the hull of an LNG ship, not to mention the cargo hold inside, which is minus 163 degrees Celsius. Hey, I heard that there are many The laboratory cannot simulate this effect."

"There are many things that domestic laboratories can't do." Su Cheng paused, and said, "As far as shipbuilding is concerned, I don't know much, but I may know a little more than Director Zhong. With the current trend of shipbuilding industry Looking at it, building a freighter in two months will be the minimum requirement, and those who can’t do it will have to be eliminated.”

Director Zhong got used to being stabbed and stabbed. He saw too much the speed of domestic shipbuilding, and he didn't believe in the fact that it took two months to build a ship. He thought: Do you think a freighter with tens of thousands of tons is an iron box?Solder it, weld it and it will come out?

He didn't want to hang on to the details, so he just frowned and said, "Then I'll wait and see, to see the Shenzhen speed of Dong Su's Dahua Shipbuilding Industry. However, Dahua Industry can get 3 million U.S. dollars." cash?"

He wanted to fight against the general.Only those who are in business know how rare $3 million is, and that is $3 million, which is so huge that the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission cannot afford it.

Sioux City Shi Shiran said: "Dahua's capital is not worried about the director. In fact, it is not only 3 million US dollars, we also paid 4000 million US dollars to Halliburton. Including bits and pieces, the total budget At $4 million."

Director Zhong hesitated, lowered his chopsticks, greed was fleeting, and said: "Su Dong has built a big business. However, Su Dong started his own business, and don't forget our domestic brothers and sisters." .Cosco Shipyard was merged not long ago, and the staff is ready. What is missing now is an upward channel..."

"Whether COSCO Shipyard wants to help, you don't care." Su Dong interrupted him, smiled and said: "In the final analysis, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is the controlling party, and Mr. He is the operating party. If you want to replace COSCO To make a decision on shipping, you should first be the general manager of COSCO Shipping.”

The general manager of COSCO Shipping is at the deputy ministerial level, and the director Zhong is far behind.

Seeing that Su Cheng refused to accept the soft and the hard, Director Zhong's expression changed, and he said: "So, Chairman Su refuses to talk about it?"

"I'm just talking." When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were negotiating, everyone didn't want to bear the notoriety of sabotaging the peace talks, and Sioux City didn't want to say no to talks.

Director Zhong turned his face, looked at He Han, and asked, "Mr. He, what do you say?"

He Han hid for a long time without saying a word. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he touched his temples and said simply: "Cosco Shipping has handed over all the profits of last year. There is no foreign exchange left, we can't take it out, 1.8 million Dollar."

"I don't think it needs to be all U.S. dollars. Su Dong, you order raw materials, after all, you must order domestic raw materials. If you want to raise 3 million U.S. dollars, it is better to change it to 24 billion yuan. COSCO Shipping will pay 12 billion U.S. dollars." He quietly The exchange rate of 0.3 is erased.

Su Cheng smiled: "Then what will I use to pay for the raw materials I want to import from abroad?"

"I can make the decision and exchange a sum of dollars for you from the People's Bank of China." Since the exchange rate reform, the exchange rate of 1:8.3 between the dollar and the renminbi is relatively close to reality. Therefore, it is not impossible for private companies to exchange dollars. .It's just that when foreign exchange is tense, human relations are inevitable.

However, no matter how strong the background of Director Zhong is, it would be impossible to exchange 1 million US dollars.

Sioux Cheng said: "US$1.8 million is nothing to talk about. If SASAC doesn't want to do it, Dahua will do it by itself."

"I don't want the workers anymore?" Director Zhong finally tried to see him.In fact, he is grasping this point. Dahua Shipbuilding has a short period of time. Although it has recruited a lot of people, the work has long been full, and orders for offshore drilling platforms have to be fulfilled.

No one, no matter how strong the technology is, it can't be used.

Director Zhong said proudly: "Actually, Director Su shouldn't just look at COSCO Shipping. There are still many companies in China that can build giant freighters, and I can help you contact them."

The implication is that he can contact shipbuilders in shipyards across the country.

This is probably Director Zhong's greatest reliance.

He Han put his hands on his head, pretending to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and observed Su Cheng secretly.His background is not as strong as Director Zhong, so he has the attitude of not offending if he can.

Su Cheng flicked the wine glass with his fingers, and sighed secretly: This is the most annoying thing about rich and powerful capital.It was originally a win-win situation. In order to earn 1 point more profit, they had to force others to lose 10 points.Judging by Mr. Zhong, if Dahua Industrial does not agree to use SASAC to invest in real estate and renminbi, COSCO Shipping will not be able to earn labor fees even if it wants to.

But how is this possible.

In fact, even if the other party offered US dollars, Sioux City would not sell Dahua Shipbuilding's shares to them. LNG ships are standard cash cows, and he doesn't even want Halliburton, let alone COSCO Shipping.

Su Cheng looked at He Han.

He Han smiled bitterly and closed his eyes slightly.He was already prepared, if Su Cheng forced him to express his opinion, then he would give up his life to accompany the gentleman, which was considered to be repaying Su Cheng's favor.

Su Cheng could also guess what he was thinking, but he calmed down and asked, "Is Director Zhong representing himself or the government?"

"My personal opinion." Director Zhong blinked his eyes as he spoke, scoffed at Su Cheng's question, and said in his heart: He's really a young man.

Su Cheng chuckled, stood up and said, "Since it's Director Zhong's personal opinion, let's do it first."

After speaking, he left the hotel directly.

Director Zhong snorted, looked at his back from a distance, and said to He Han: "He either doesn't build the ship, or he has to come back obediently. Mr. He, don't be soft."

He Han couldn't figure out Su Cheng's attitude, so he just smiled.
