China is a major petroleum refining country. Due to the authorities' emphasis on the energy industry, it exceeded 100 million tons of refining capacity in 1988. It is estimated that the refining capacity in 1998 will be 170 million tons. Although it cannot be compared with the 750 million tons of the United States and 240 million tons of Japan during the same period, it is still more than enough to compare with other Germany, such as 110 million tons of refining capacity.

However, the problem is also obvious.

The deep processing capacity in the refining and chemical field is seriously insufficient. Most of them are basic refining products such as diesel and gasoline, and the quality is generally not satisfactory. As for basic industrial raw materials such as olefins in the deep processing field, such as ethylene products currently in mainland China, the annual production capacity in 1998 is only about 3.7 million tons, which is only 8% of the annual output of 45 million tons of ethylene in the United States.

One thing that can be imagined is that if China's refining and chemical industry can provide a long-term shortage of olefin-based chemical raw materials and cannot supply massive amounts of synthetic rubber, artificial fibers, synthetic plastics and other products, it will be difficult for China to become a world factory.

In the past year, in order to cope with the shortcomings in the petrochemical field, the Chinese government has specially integrated related industries and reorganized the two major groups of PetroChina and Sinopec. CNOOC's IPO has also begun to advance under this background, with the goal of promoting industrial upgrading in Sinopec.

The Westeros system was also produced in the context of this industrial reform in the two refining projects in Lianyungang and Ningbo.

China's refining and chemical industry does not prohibit foreign investment from entering. Of course, not to mention the potential barriers, at least this is definitely the case on the surface, including the attitude of the authorities' upper-level officials, and also hopes to introduce foreign investment to strengthen competition and achieve the catfish effect.

The problem is, no one will take things as simple as that.

Therefore, the Westeros system gives two refining and chemical integration projects, a complete field of deep processing, rather than a basic refining factory that produces various primary oil materials, which will first avoid competition with local tyrants in basic business.

However, the problem is still there.

The key is that these two projects are really big, with each of them having an annual refining and chemical production of 5 million tons. The sum of the two is 10 million tons, which is directly equivalent to 6% of China's total refining and chemical production capacity.

For example, the specific basic compound production capacity is not other aromatic basic materials, or the most critical ethylene as an example. The production capacity of a single factory is 300,000 tons, and the total number of two companies in the two places is 600,000 tons.

China's total ethylene production capacity in 1998 was only 3.7 million tons, which was directly 16%.

Moreover, if the two factories develop well, it is impossible to say that they will not expand production in the future. With the strength of the Westeros system, it is likely to develop into a larger refining and chemical industry cluster.

In short, even if the current plan is determined, the proportion of state-owned capital of the two factories in China will reach 30 to 40%, it will inevitably cause various concerns from all parties, whether they are worried that China's refining and chemical industry structure will be impacted, or they are worried that their own territory will be occupied, or some conspiracy theories are more concerned about this. This is a plan for overseas capital to snipe the industrial upgrading of China's refining and chemical industry, Barbara.

Of course, there are a lot of people who agree.

First of all, there is a huge investment of US$1 billion. When China is now deflation is short of funds in various fields after the financial crisis, both cooperative enterprises and local governments are eager to take it.

This is a large amount of GDP.

Secondly, some people at the top of the authorities hope to introduce these two catfishes to stimulate state-owned assets giants who are inevitably lazy under policy protection to work hard. At the same time, they create a large number of jobs in the context of the continued wave of laid-offs and alleviate domestic conflicts.

With the tug-of-war between the parties, this meeting in Beijing was finally here.

Lianyungang's project has actually been approved, and this time it is mainly aimed at Ningbo. However, to put it bluntly, if Ningbo's project cannot pass the approval, Lianyungang's side is just the beginning. Since similar investments are not popular, in order to ensure the security of its own capital, it is difficult to say whether there will be any changes in the future. It is unlikely to cancel it directly, but it is also expected to compress the investment scale.

This is the result that everyone knows.

After all, even if Simon has a good relationship with the Chinese senior management, the problem is that the King of Hell is easy to meet and the little devil is difficult to deal with.

It's still the kind that can stubbornly.

People with a little experience, especially businessmen, understand this principle.

Simon is not naive either.

Therefore, if you do not receive clear support at the beginning and push forward with slap, you may be in trouble in the future.

The meeting at 2 o'clock in the afternoon lasted until after five o'clock, and it took more than three hours, with praise and criticism, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Chen Qing did not speak throughout the whole process, just listened silently, occasionally lowering her head and writing a few strokes on her notepad.

After the meeting, Lin Lan just left the conference room and said worriedly, "Sister Chen, do you think it can be done?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly and signaled to talk later. She smiled and exchanged a brief greeting with a senior executive of the State Planning Commission who came out next. Both sides were familiar with each other, but it was not suitable for chatting more in the current situation, so she separated again after a few words.

There were two or three others who followed.

Lin Lan is also a smart man. After watching quietly, she finally left the office building and came to the parking lot. She held Chen Qing's arm with a smile: "Sister Chen, it depends on the situation, is it done?"

He also deliberately squeezed his eyes as he said that.

I have to say that both of them were born in 1968 and were the same year as someone. They may not necessarily be the same as each other. However, just like Lin Lan calling her brother-in-law in front of Simon without any mind, Lin Lan, who happened to ignore this problem, also subconsciously called Chen Qing Sister Chen.

Chen Qing didn't care about the meaning of these details, and said, "It should be a result in the past two days."

Seeing that Chen Qing didn't mean anything, and there were too many people around him, Lin Lan didn't ask much, and turned to it: "Sister Chen, there will be a reception dinner in the capital next. Are you going to go together?"

Chen Qing shook her head: "Forget it this time. I have been flying around the earth for most of the past few days. I will have a good rest tonight."

Lin Lan did not force her, but said, "I will be in the capital in the past few days. When will I have dinner together?"

Chen Qing asked back: "Where do you live?"

Lin Lan said: "Provincial Guesthouse."

Chen Qing also liked this girl with similar personalities and invited her, "Why don't you come to Maoer Hutong, you can have dinner together at any time."

"Ha, I won't go," Lin Lan shook her head with a strange expression, and added: "My sister deliberately refused to let me go."

Chen Qing immediately thought of Lin Su and the second little guy in the other party's belly, and she felt bad: "That's it."

Lin Lan knew that Chen Qing was not actually a good-tempered person, so she didn't mind seeing her change of face.

The two sides chatted a few more times, and representatives of Westeros' investment team and the head of South Korea's SK Group also came to greet him. The latter was Zhong Shenhao, who was personally selected by Chen Qing, and a middle-aged man who was not only exempted from prison after giving up his wife and daughter, but also promoted to power.

Seeing that Zhong Shenhao approached him with a respectful attitude, Chen Qing also smiled and chatted with the other party, and then mixed a few words to test the other party's Chinese ability.

This is Chen Qing’s requirement for the Korean team.

At this stage, domestic capital is basically in a humble manner and rarely dares to ask the other party’s representative to master Chinese. They all take the initiative to cooperate here, and only Chen Qing dares to do so.

It’s not about seeking a sense of superiority or something, or about the smooth progress of the project.

After chatting for a while, Chen Qing nodded to express her satisfaction, remembered another incident and said to Zhong Shenhao: "You made a good speech on the prospects of the refining and chemical industry at the meeting. Will you give me a copy of the draft?"

"Yes, of course," Zhong Shenhao bowed and said to a young man behind him: "Haoxian, give me that speech draft."

The young man was standing not far from the two of them, and was slightly confused about Zhong Shenhao's servility in front of Chen Qing. Hearing the call, he took two steps forward before he realized, opened his handbag, lowered his head and began to search.

Search and search.

Chen Qing waited patiently for more than ten seconds, finally frowned and looked at Zhong Shenhao, and his tone was no longer polite: "Is this your illegitimate son?"

Zhong Shenhao felt Chen Qing's sarcastic tone, and cold sweat began to emerge, and he did not dare to hide it: "Miss Chen, this is Haoxian, my nephew, oh, he is Eun-kyung's brother, Quan Eun-kyung."

As the two said, Quan Haoxian finally found the information. Of course, he heard the conversation between the two nearby and was inevitably nervous. He directly handed the thin speech draft to Chen Qing in front of him with one hand.

Chen Qing did not answer, but glanced at Zhong Shenhao.

Zhong Shenhao felt that it was not just a cold sweat on his forehead. He turned around decisively, took the information and slapped him on his nephew's face: "Idiot, hasn't your mother taught you politeness?"

After saying that, he ignored the young man who had staggered back several times, turned to Chen Qing and changed his smile, bowed his hands and presented the manuscript: "Miss Chen, I'm so sorry."

Chen Qing then took it and handed it to Jiang Shanwu beside her, and then said to Zhong Shenhao: "I don't care whose brother he is, nor what kind of garbage you collect to your own team. If the project in Ningbo is not done well, I will only cause trouble for you. Mr. Zhong, you should know that I am very good at finding trouble for others, do you understand?"

Zhong Shenhao bowed again tremblingly: "Yes."

Seeing him nodding, Chen Qing didn't say anything more, turned around and drove away.

In this parking lot, including Lin Lan and others who had not left, even if they could not hear the conversation between the two sides, they watched the scene with a surprised and even horrified expression.

Anyone dares to treat Korean friends like this?

Zhong Shenhao maintained a respectful attitude until Chen Qing's car disappeared from sight, and he stood up without the mind to pay attention to the strange expressions of the people around him. He knew very well the cruelty of a female Rakshasa. If he lost his face, he would lose it. If he wanted to find it back, he was seeking death. Therefore, he just silently got into his car and signaled that his nephew had just been beaten to be his side.

After the car started, Zhong Shenhao, who could not hide his anger after all, saw his nephew next to him covering his face and frequently aiming at him, got angry again, raised his hand and slapped his face and gave him another blow: "Idiot, you idiot, I asked you to think about your work well, I asked you to learn Chinese hard, you just know how to pick up girls, Chinese girls are easy to pick up, right? Unfortunately, you can never pick up again, you will get back to Korea tomorrow morning!"

Quan Haoxian, who was hit by his uncle with his head in his arms, was already angry. When he heard that Jong Shenhao was about to drive him back to Korea, he suddenly became anxious: "Uncle, where did I go wrong? Can you explain clearly?"

Zhong Shenhao slapped him again, but unfortunately this time he only slapped his head, but his palm became painful and scolded: "Idiot, didn't you hear what I said just now? Since you don't know where you are wrong, you should go back to South Korea."

"I just found the documents were a little full. Is it that serious?"

Zhong Shenhao simply ignored it.

When Quan Haoxian, who talked back, saw his uncle like this, he became guilty. During this period, he came to China and was held everywhere, and there were women here... In short, these were things that he was unemployed and vagrants dared not think about when he was in South Korea. If he was driven back to South Korea... how could that be possible?

Thinking of this, Quan Haoxian paused. He didn't want to admit his mistake and beg for mercy. Instead, he said: "Uncle, last time, don't forget that it was my Enjing who called someone to help you, so that you could avoid... going to jail. You can't treat me like this."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Shenhao twitched his lips, too lazy to call him again, and did not explain to his unpromising nephew that the person who called his niece to ask for help was probably the woman just now. He just took out a cigarette and lit it, and said again: "You will get back tomorrow, try to learn Chinese well and have professional knowledge in refining. I will personally take the exam in a year. If you pass, let you come and help me."

Quan Haoxian realized that his uncle was actually playing the game, so he couldn't sit still: "Uncle, I won't go back, I, can't I be wrong? I will start working hard tomorrow."

Zhong Shenhao just said, "I'll wait and have someone book you a flight ticket for tomorrow."

Quan Haoxian was a little anxious again: "I, I won't go back."

Zhong Shenhao gritted his teeth and glared at him: "You can try it."

Quan Haoxian moved his body on the seat and quietly moved away from his uncle to avoid being beaten again, but said, "I won't go back."

"I'll have someone tie you up to the plane."

The atmosphere then fell silent.

After a while, Quan Haoxian finally began to beg for mercy: "Uncle, you can't treat me like this, my mother, and Eun-kyung, you can't treat me like this."

Zhong Shenhao also exploded again and slapped him again: "Idiot, do you think I brought you to China? Am I not good enough to you, but look at what you have done during this period, you idiot, muddy, unsupporting guy."
