Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 629 Detonating the Economic Nuclear Bomb

In the conference room of Huanghai Petrochemical, members of the board of directors gathered together.

Song Jinlong looked at the notepad in his hand, and said: This is the situation. Huafu Gas obtained the technology from the American Enron Company. The technical level of their proposal not only surpassed ours, but also the best in the country, so we finally Didn't win the project.

So that's the case. I said how can a natural gas distribution company like Huafu Gas beat us. It turns out that they hired foreign aid!

And it's not just an ordinary foreign aid. American Enron should be the largest in the world in terms of natural gas projects, right? Their technology is also the best in the world. We are not wronged to lose!

That's right, losing to Enron is not our fault. It's really a non-war crime. I want to switch to other companies in the country, and they will definitely lose against Enron!

Everyone said that they were undoubtedly looking for a reasonable excuse for throwing away such an important project, so that they would not have to worry about being held accountable.

It's not that I don't work hard, it's that the opponent is too strong, and failure is also a crime of non-war!

After everyone had finished making excuses, Song Jinlong continued; After the bidding results were announced, Li Weidong, the chairman of the Puppy Group, came to me.

Said that he has a way to help us get this project back, the premise is to sell New Oriental Motor Factory to him.

Li Weidong is also a well-known big entrepreneur in China,

And we have cooperated with Huanghai Petrochemical for many years,

Speaking should be reliable,

I don't want to talk nonsense. Someone said immediately.

Another person said: The New Oriental Electric Factory was originally just a workshop of our Huanghai Petrochemical Company, and later became a special factory independently.

It is not our important core industry. . If you can exchange for this project with New Oriental Electric, it will definitely be worth it.

Dong Song,

Did that Li Weidong reveal what method he will use to help us get this project? After all, this is a key project of the country. Now that the bidding has ended, it is almost impossible to change the result. The person next to him asked.

Song Jinlong let out a long sigh,

He opened his mouth and replied: Li Weidong said,

The reason why Huafu Gas can beat us,

Mainly because of the technology of the American company Enron,

As long as Enron goes bankrupt and Huafu Gas loses its technology,

That would necessarily abandon the project,

At that time, the project will be returned to us.

Can you think of Enron going bankrupt? What a logical genius! Everyone suddenly showed various expressions.

Song Jinlong went on to say: Li Weidong said that he will find a way to shut down Anran Petrochemical and help us get back the project. At that time, I hope we can keep our promise and sell New Oriental Electric to him.

Closing down Enron?

This time, everyone looked disdainful and incredible,

And you have to be more disdainful.

The person closest to Song Jinlong thought to himself: Do you want to give Song Dong a box of peanuts?

Then the man took a deep breath,

He smelled alcohol on Song Jinlong's body. He probably felt that Song Jinlong had drunk too much and was still not sober, so he brought this issue to the board of directors for discussion.

Send a box of peanuts with the wine, so I shouldn't be so drunk!

And the person who said that Li Weidong is reliable just now has an embarrassed expression. He just said that Li Weidong is reliable, but he didn't expect Li Weidong to start telling fairy tales!

Finally, one person couldn't help but said, Does Li Weidong know what kind of company Enron is? Just him, and he wants to shut down Enron? Thanks to the Olympics, there is no bragging project.

Otherwise, our Chinese team will definitely win an extra gold medal!

yes,

This bragging is too exaggerated. That's Enron! Not to mention him as Li Weidong,

Even if a hundred Li Weidong were bundled together, they would not be as rich as An Ran!

Li Weidong has earned a lot of money over the years. It seems that people lose money as soon as they have money. This is true. They are still too young, and young people tend to swell!

After all, Song Jinlong is the leader. Everyone can't say that Song Jinlong is unreliable, but can only condemn Li Weidong.

Song Jinlong also understood this, so he said: I also think that Li Weidong is talking nonsense, but I still agree to let Li Weidong try it.

Everyone, I didn't drink too much. The reason why I agreed to Li Weidong was because I thought that if Li Weidong really succeeded in closing down Enron, then we would be able to get the project.

And if Li Weidong was bragging, we would have heard a joke at most, and there was no loss, since this project was not ours in the first place.

Song Dong, even though you say that, this matter is too unreliable! Li Weidong made such an unreliable promise, and we promised him, how can it be like playing a house with a child? If it spreads, maybe You will be laughed at by your peers. The oldest director said.

I also know that it's not good to hear about it, so I hope everyone will keep this matter a secret for the sake of Huanghai Petrochemical's face. Song Jinlong paused,

Then he said: And what if Li Weidong really succeeds?

What if? How can there be so many eventualities! I have been working for more than 40 years, and I have never encountered any eventualities! The elderly director looked like he was relying on his old age.

Song Jinlong sighed lightly, and then said: Old Du,

I have been working for more than 30 years, and I have only encountered two accidents. One was to Japan to buy plastic processing equipment, and the other was to the United States to buy ethylene production equipment. But these two times, it was Li Weidong who talked about it! So for Li Weidong, I really have to believe a little bit!

When the meeting room was over, Lao Du couldn't help but asked, What happened to the two deals that Li Weidong talked about, what Dong Song said?

Someone next to him immediately explained: Mr. Du, you came here after Huanghai Petrochemical was transformed into a group. You don't know what happened back then. At that time, Huanghai Petrochemical was going to purchase a batch of plastic processing equipment, which were actually blow molding machines and injection molding machines. machine or something.

But at that time, our country did not know how to manufacture these products, so we could only import them. We contacted a Japanese company to purchase equipment, but the Japanese offered a price of 100 million US dollars.

At that time, it was the most tense years of national foreign exchange, and we did not apply for so much foreign exchange at all. And the offer from the Japanese is really a lion's mouth. But these devices, we can't make them ourselves, and we can only let them be eaten by mermaids.

For this batch of equipment, Song Dong personally led a team to Japan and negotiated with the other party. After talking for a long time, the Japanese were only willing to save one or two million dollars.

When we went to Japan, there were people from the provincial foreign trade department. At that time, Li Weidong was with the people from the foreign trade department. When we couldn't talk, he volunteered to help us negotiate with the Japanese.

Li Weidong finished talking? Lao Du asked immediately.

The negotiation is over, the Japanese gave us a big discount, and Li Weidong saved us 45 million yuan! The other party replied.

Is it RMB or Japanese yen? After Lao Du asked this question, he immediately answered on his own: It should be RMB. Forty-five million yen is not too much. Forty-five million yuan is equivalent to It’s 5.5 million US dollars, which is equivalent to another half discount, which is quite a lot.”

Forty-five million dollars! the man replied immediately.

What? U.S. dollars? 100 million things, he can cut 45 million? This is close to half the price! Domestic bargaining is not so hard! I'm going to the vegetable market, if I dare to bargain like this , the vegetable seller can kill me directly! How could the Japanese agree? Old Du said in surprise.

In fact, the Japanese really agreed, and signed the contract very quickly, we paid, and they delivered the goods. The other party said.

What about the ethylene equipment? Lao Du continued to ask.

It is our 400,000-ton large ethylene project. It was purchased from Mobil at that time, but Mobil did not want to sell the equipment to us. They have better customers, Saudis, and are willing to pay more. Mobil The reason why we received us is to introduce a competitor so that the Saudis can increase the price! The other party explained.

The Saudis are very rich. How can we outperform the Saudis when it comes to banknotes? How was that project built? Lao Du continued to ask.

It was also Li Weidong who went to talk. After Li Weidong talked with the senior management of Mobil Company, Mobil Company immediately changed its attitude. Not only was it willing to sell equipment, but it rushed to find us to sign a contract, and finally gave us some discounts! The other party explained.

An inconceivable expression appeared on Lao Du's face: What method did this Li Weidong use, even the Mobil Company can settle it?

Who knows! Anyway, this Li Weidong is not so powerful. The man went on to say: If others say that Enron Company will be closed down, it is absolutely impossible. But what Li Weidong said, maybe there is a ten thousandth chance. One possibility!

Gu Chu, United States, New York City, the famous financial reporter Bethany McClain walked into a cafe, and then she saw a man with a hat and glasses sitting in the corner at a glance.

With a hat and sunglasses, I don't want others to see his appearance clearly, so it should be him!

Bethany McClain immediately stepped forward, and at the same time touched her pocket with her right hand, where there was an envelope containing 200 dollars, which was the informant fee she planned to pay.

Not long ago, someone called Bethany McClain with a news tip.

Bethany McClain came to the appointment without hesitation. For journalists, so-called revelations from insiders are very important sources of information. Maybe a single revelation can make a big news, so journalists often will not let go of this opportunity.

The United States is a money-oriented society. If you want to get information from the other party, you often need to prepare some informant fees. So Bethany McLean prepared 200 dollars in advance, and the money can already buy some financial insiders that are not outdated.

Bethany McLean walked to the desk of the man in sunglasses and sat down, then said, Hi, I'm Bethany McClain, are you looking for me?

Ms. McClain, are you investigating Enron's profitability? the man in sunglasses asked.

Do you have this information? Bethany McClain said, subconsciously touching her pocket.

If the other party provided some important information, the informant fee of 200 US dollars was really not enough. Bethany McClain might have to go to a nearby ATM to withdraw some more money.

The man in sunglasses took out a thick envelope from his pocket, and pushed it in front of Bethany McClain.

Bethany McClain looked at the thickness of the envelope, and thought that there was a lot of information, and it seemed that the $200 informant fee was definitely not enough.

Let's see if this is important information first. Thinking of this, Bethany McClain opened the envelope.

However, there is no so-called revelation in it, but a wad of dollars!

Bethany McLean understood instantly, and she said, You were sent by Enron? Does Enron not want me to continue the investigation? So you want to pay me for hush money? It seems that Enron's profitability is really problematic. ! Do you know that your actions are commercial bribery?

After several questions in succession, the man in the sunglasses opposite did not panic at all. He said, Miss McLean, don't get me wrong, I am not from Enron. What I will give you is not a hush money, but a fee!

Bethany McClain was slightly taken aback, and the man in the sunglasses continued to explain: Miss McClain, my boss knows that you are investigating Enron. But Enron is such a big company, and I want to find out from their financial reports and data. The problem still needs to be audited by a professional accountant.

It costs a lot of money to hire an accountant, and it also costs money to collect relevant data. So my boss is willing to give you 20,000 dollars to help you complete this news report on Enron's profitability!

Twenty thousand dollars! Bethany McClain realized that she had met a wealthy boss Li, and she immediately asked, Who is your boss? Why are you doing this?

Enron has many competitors, so it doesn't matter who my boss is. The important thing is that we have the same goal and want to know the truth about Enron.

The man in the sunglasses smiled slightly, then waved his hand to call the waiter, put a few dollars into the waiter's hand, counted as coffee money and tip, then stood up, and continued:

Ms. Bethany McLean, looking forward to seeing your report soon!

Bethany McClain is famous for reporting on Enron. In the future, she will become a Wall Street analyst and often write articles for some magazines. Among them, the more famous ones are the analysis of several bad-mouthing Tesla.

The fee of 20,000 US dollars was sent by Li Weidong. He wanted to speed up the progress of Bethany McClain's investigation of Enron.

At the same time, Li Weidong also approached Academician Situjian with the article he wrote.

Academician Situ, you are in good health recently! Li Weidong said, and put the gift he brought on the ground.

Weidong, you are a rare visitor! Sit down! Academician Situ invited Li Weidong to the sofa.

Li Weidong took a peek and found several round marks on the back of Situ Jian's neck, so he asked, Academician Situ, are you using the five-element needle?

Yeah, I usually read for a long time and my neck hurts, so I just do acupuncture and moxibustion for health care! Situ Jian replied.

Academician Situ, you'd better not use it. The five-element needle actually has no effect, and it's basically a trick! Li Weidong said.

No way? I think the past few years were overwhelming! And my lifting was quite effective. Situ Jian said.

Li Weidong smiled with some embarrassment: Academician Situ, the effect you feel is probably a psychological effect. I created this thing in the first place, and there have been more counterfeit spells in recent years. I also think this Things are deceiving, so I won’t do it anymore. Do you think I look like a doctor who knows acupuncture and moxibustion?”

Uh... Academician Situ was also a little embarrassed. As an academician at his age, he was deceived by health care products, and was exposed by the victim back then, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Then you have to give me my money back! Situ Jian laughed and relieved his embarrassment, and then he asked: Weidong, you must be going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so tell me, what exactly do you want from me?

Academician Situ, have you participated in the West-East Gas Pipeline Project? Li Weidong asked.

Situ Jian nodded, and replied: I have participated in it, mainly doing research on the impact on the national economy after the completion of the West-East Gas Pipeline Project, which mainly involves the overall economy and regional economy. Why, do you think this project is inappropriate?

Li Weidong immediately shook his head: This is a project that benefits the country and the people. It is an important strategic layout of the country. How could it be wrong! It's just that I found something wrong with the construction of the project.

As far as I know, part of the project was undertaken by Huafu Gas. Huafu Gas did not have the technology and experience in natural gas pipeline construction before.

Enron is the world's top company in terms of natural gas, right? Is there anything wrong with being able to introduce foreign advanced technology? Situ Jian asked.

Of course there is no problem with the introduction of technology. The problem is the Enron Company! There are major hidden dangers in the Enron Company. If the Enron Company is brought in, it may affect the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline Plant!

As Li Weidong said, he handed a piece of information to Situ Jian, and said, Academician Situ, look, this is the relevant material I wrote, which details the hidden dangers and risks that Enron currently exists.

Situ Jian opened the material, read it quickly, then carefully read it a second time, and then read it sentence by sentence for a third time, his expression became serious.

What Li Weidong said in the material is very reasonable. According to what Li Weidong wrote in the report, Enron is really in danger.

Then Situ Jian raised his head and asked seriously: Weidong, if the hidden dangers and risks you mentioned erupt, what will happen to Enron?

It will go bankrupt! Li Weidong said firmly.

Situ Jian suddenly gasped.

For such a large and important company as Enron, if it really goes bankrupt, it will undoubtedly detonate a nuclear bomb for the economic circles!
