Chapter 478 Yiqi Mountain Forest
Listening to Lin Johnson's thanks, Zhang Xiaojun also smiled and said, "Our emerging company is also very grateful to Mr. Lin for entrusting the large petrochemical project to our military-industrial unit. We must complete the task with quality and quantity and deliver the project as soon as possible!"
The construction task received by the Xinxing General Corporation is extremely large this time. It turned out that the General Logistics Department was satisfied that Lin Johnson could hand over the construction tasks of the three-way and one-level factory and warehouses to the military industry. But what they did not expect was that Lin Johnson actually proposed to package the third phase of Haicang project to the General Logistics Department as a whole. When the first and second phases of the future are completed, the Haicang Petrochemical Factory will reach a huge scale of 800,000 tons of ethylene annually. This is a large project worth billions of dollars! (Maoming 300,000 tons of ethylene project, approved the construction total investment of RMB 11.078 billion on August 8, 1992)
The General Logistics Department quickly established this emerging general company. Now the troops are allowed to do business. The General Secretary can be said to be sitting at home and paying money to his door. In particular, this cooperation plan has received strong support from the Central Military Commission. Now the upper class of the country is discussing the major issue of disarmament. On the one hand, the country is in financial difficulties and financial difficulties. On the other hand, China has the number of military personnel equal to the Soviet Union, but the equipment level of the 4 million army is extremely backward. Now the war can no longer be won by the number of people. The Sino-Vietnam War has fully exposed the shortcomings of the Chinese team. In the face of the Vietnamese army, which are armed with rapid-fire weapons, the Sino-Vietnam team suffered heavy casualties!
The supreme leader has made up his mind to disarmament, and the Chinese team has reached a point where it is not enough to be consolidated!
In contrast to the general understanding, although there were 4 million Chinese teams at that time, the company was not full, and there were too many deputy positions in all levels of organs. Each military region had more than a dozen or even dozens of leaders, as well as "regiment confidentiality officers" and "battalion-level typist", etc. The ratio of officers and soldiers in several major countries in the world was: 1:4.65 in the Soviet Union; 1:10 in the Federation of Germany; 1:17 in France; 1:2.45 in China.
There is one leader for every 2.45 soldiers. Can the government agencies and units go to the battlefield at critical moments?
286 pointed out incisively at the symposium of the Central Military Commission: It is not "swelling" in the combat troops, but in leadership organs at all levels. Therefore, it is better to say "eliminary officers" than to say "elite soldiers".
The Haicang plan was signed first, which was also the fastest agreement to be completed. Billions of dollars greatly increased domestic foreign exchange reserves. It is also in line with the plan of 286 to simplify military affairs and streamline government procurement of advanced weapons from abroad to build a strong military!
Of course, billions of dollars are not used to make it to overseas Chinese accounts at one time. Lin Johnson is very useful to his money. In fact, he didn't want to reach an agreement with China so quickly at the beginning.
Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng never expected that the country was so eager for foreign exchange. He even thought about waiting for the signing of the "Platform Agreement" in 1985 to exchange the US dollar for yen in the early stage. After the five countries led by the United States forced the yen to appreciate, the US dollar against the Japanese yen will quickly fall from 1 US dollar to 250 yen in less than three months to about 1 US dollar to 200 yen, a drop of 25%.
After that, US authorities and financial experts continued to intervene verbally in the US dollar to further depreciate the dollar. Their purpose was to restore the severely damaged US manufacturing industry to promote exports. It had fallen to 1 dollar against 120 yen at a low of 50% in less than three years, which means that the yen doubled against the US dollar.
By then, the tens of billions of dollars that Lin Johnson has mastered can also double. If his industry is used as collateral, it will lend a large amount of US dollars from banks in Europe, America, Japan and Southeast Asia, and issue corporate bonds in countries like the United States with loose restrictions to absorb funds, and then invest in the Japanese yen exchange rate market, his assets will snowball. Oh no, it is a pole-like growth!
Lin Johnson is no longer thinking about how to build a project quickly, but about how to delay time!
Lin Qiang-Chengsheng shook his head and said to Zhang Xiaojun: "It's okay to follow the normal construction speed. You must pay attention to construction safety and construction specifications, and strictly follow the construction standards set by us! This is not something you can complete in the Great Hall of the People in ten months. This is a problem with the petrochemical factory or a major event, and it will cause a life to explode and kill people!"
Lin Johnson seriously said to the engineers of Dongxing Company and other Chinese personnel: "I don't want to relax the quality of the project in order to pursue completion speed!"
Although there was an interpreter present, Lin Johnson still sternly warned several American engineers and supervisors in English. It was not until they nodded, Lin Johnson was satisfied.
Zhang Xiaojun also looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise. Unexpectedly, this young man also knew the deeds of the Great Hall of the People. At that time, they did take less than ten months and a year to build the magnificent Great Hall. Moreover, the construction team was trained through this project and many outstanding talents were cultivated!
But Zhang Xiaojun could not refute Lin’s words. This is a foreign investment project, and there is nothing wrong with others requiring stricter requirements and better quality.
…………………
The negotiations between Dongxing Group and domestic companies are still continuing, and the two sides have subdivided the project into order and put the simplest ones in front. For example, the Haicang Plan, both the local and central governments need to vigorously build special zones to make a model project, so the negotiations for this project are ranked first. Moreover, the Hu Jian local government also participated in the negotiations.
Dongxing Group established Hu Jian Branch of Dongxing Petrochemical Corporation, a joint venture with a total investment of US$3 billion and 65% controlled by Dongxing Group in three phases.
Lin Qiang-Chengsheng loaned to the General Corporation of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation and Hu Jian-Petroleum Provincial Government of a total of US$1 billion, and stipulated that both of them must be repaid in yen in the future.
Both sides nodded in agreement, and their representatives were even very happy because Sinopec and Hu Jiansheng had close economic relations with Japan, and most of China's crude oil in recent years has been sold to Japan. Hu Jian has many overseas Chinese in Japan and has deep economic exchanges with Japan.
Since the two sides were very happy, Lin Johnson took the initiative to trick them. They had no way to pay the yen to appreciate in the future!
Some of the superiors still have the idea to take out several offshore oil fields along the coast to jointly invest with Dongxing, which saves a lot of foreign exchange. But Lin Johnson refused without thinking. According to his original words, Dongxing Group did not immediately obtain oil fields. First, Dongxing does not have the technology to mine offshore oil fields now, and second, it does not have management experience.
But in fact, this is just an excuse. Lin Johnson really didn't think too much about participating in domestic crude oil mining.
As far as he knows, no foreign oil company had obtained the right to exploit oil fields onshore in China in his previous life, so he did not have this luxury. ConocoPhillips, which cooperated with CNOOC, to exploit offshore oil in the Bohai Sea, bleakly withdrew from China due to oil spillover pollution.
Shell and Chevron have projects to jointly exploit shale gas with the country, and they are also thankless. Canadian Husky Petroleum Corporation and British BP Oil Corporation have joint exploration cooperation with PetroChina in the South China Sea, and their investment has been slow to achieve results. The rest are some oil and gas technology service companies mainly provide well drilling technology, such as Schlumberger and Baker Hughes.
It can be seen that almost no oil company has gained benefits from China in the oil field, and this situation cannot help but make Lin Johnson wary!
He and Hu Jiansheng, Xiamen City leaders, Zhang Xiaojun and others took a minibus together and made a serious move on the construction site.
At the sight of the huge construction site, Lin Qiangsheng felt like a mountain king came to patrol the mountains. He was happy throughout the whole process. This was a huge land of 15,000 hectares!
Moreover, Haicang has a pleasant climate around the sea. On the contrary, in mid-May, the Northeast is wearing autumn clothes and pants, and there are already people here wearing shirtless shorts. Living in the south is really worry-free, so you don’t have to worry about preparing winter clothes!
Lin Johnson even thought about building a beautiful castle by the sea. Standing on the balcony, you can see the blue sky, white clouds and blue sea water. When you go out, you will be on the beach and the sea! (To be continued.)
