Feng Xiaochen's Trump Card
Chapter 791:Feng Xiaochen's Trump Card
The officials present knew Feng Xiaochen, and also knew that the general manager of the equipment company had a high position in the minds of the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission, which belongs to the big killer in the hands of the National Development and Reform Commission, and can often be used to solve some difficult problems.This time, Han Hong solemnly launched Feng Xiaochen, obviously intending to put a big game, and everyone can't help but have some sense of expectation.
"Just now, Minister Qiu said that the large refineries we have built are using the construction funds provided by the oil countries in the Middle East.After the refineries put into operation, the production is good, and the profits paid so far have been equivalent to 70% of the investment.In addition, these refineries also provide a large number of cheap domestic refined oil products for all sectors of the national economy, save a lot of foreign exchange for the country, and reduce production costs for enterprises, which should also be calculated in the benefits of the refinery.Combined with the various benefits, it can be said that the investment of the National Development and Reform Commission in the construction of these refineries has been fully recovered.Even if this is a set for us by others, we have already drilled it out of the set, and there is no problem that cannot be solved.”Feng Xiaochen first reported to the people.
“You mean, these factories can close now?”Qiu Jianxing choked up unfailingly choking.
Feng Xiaochen laughed, “The worst case is just to close the door, this investment can at least be regarded as not to make money.”
“Hm!”Qiu Jianxing can only express his dissatisfaction with one nasal sound.Feng Xiaochen said this is a little bit of a joke, but he really can't refute it.I borrowed money from abroad, built a factory, and now the money is earned back, the country has no loss, but also fell three factories in vain, what can you say?
Feng Xiaochen's purpose, that is, disgusting Qiu Jianxing, saw the old man not silent, he turned his head to the officials and said: "Just now, in fact, just a joke."These factories have advanced technology and abundant production capacity, how can they close their doors?At present, the import price of crude oil in the Middle East is $45 per barrel, and our refining oil is still profitable.Even if oil prices rise to $60 in the second half of the year, we will not be able to close the refinery as long as all sectors of the national economy need refined oil.”
"If international crude oil prices can not be suppressed, then the international refined oil prices will certainly rise, we will still be cheaper than imported refined oil, and even through the export of refined oil to obtain profits."So, there is no problem with the construction of these three refineries.”Wang Zhenbin made an annotation for Feng Xiaochen, and by the way, he also added a spade to Qiu Jianxing's grave.
Feng Xiaochen nodded to Wang Zhenbin to approve of his words, and then said: "In fact, when we introduced funds from the Middle East to build these three refineries a few years ago, we already took into account the risk of international crude oil price increases."At that time, the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission were forethought, and in a very tight funding situation, tens of billions of dollars were taken to support the development of oil replacement technology, in order to cope with today's situation.Now, I can tell you that our country's coal oil technology is relatively mature and has the ability to replace oil to a certain extent, which is the bottom line of our bargaining with Middle Eastern oil."
"What?“Coal oil!”
Most of the officials present rounded their eyes, and only a few who had been informed of some of the situations in advance behaved more calmly.The Treasury official asked in amne:
"General Feng, the coal-to-oil project, our Ministry of Finance has also given support.However, I have heard that the cost of coal-to-oil has been high, so there is no economic feasibility, why, now you have controlled the cost?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "We have indeed reduced the cost by more than half, but compared with the price of crude oil, it is still high, and there are still problems with the economy of coal-to-oil."However, if oil prices continue to rise to $60, the cost of coal-to-oil is relatively cheaper, and the use of coal-to-oil will be more economical than imported crude oil.”
"That is to say, your equipment companies are most looking forward to the price increase of oil."Xu Zhenbo, the director from the Ministry of Commerce, said half jokingly and half seriously.
"Director Xu thinks we're too selfish."Feng Xiaochen pretended not to be pleased to say that in fact, he and Xu Zhenbo are also old friends, and it is only a joke to know that the other party said this.He explained: “We’re just preparing in advance.If oil prices do not rise, if oil prices continue to rise, we can start coal-making projects to replace imported oil.With such a card, when the prices of those countries in the Middle East are to rise, they will also need to weigh it.”
“That is so.”The official of the SASAC smiled, "I said, how can the director of the National Development and Reform Commission such a wise person fall into the set of people's sets?"It turned out that the director of Han had already laid out, but instead put others into it."
This statement, everyone can not help but look at Qiu Jianxing's face, this Nima is the face of red fruit.Qiu Jianxing's mouth was open, he wanted to say something hard to fight back, but he couldn't find the right words, the most important thing is that he found that none of the people in the whole scene were on his side, even if he had no more reason, no one held the scene.Knowing this, Qiu Jianxing did not want to stay any longer, he stood up in anger, did not say hello to the people, pushed the chair behind him, and walked outside the conference room.
Wang Zhenbin was in charge of the meeting, and he quickly followed up and asked in a low voice, “Qiu* long, why, do you have anything else?”
“Yes, I have one more meeting, so I’ll go first!”Qiu Jianxing put down a word and strode to the door.Wang Zhenbin took the first step to help him open the door, and then the people watched the old man leave with schadenfreude.
“Oh, Qiu* long man...” Someone whispered a whisper, but the following words did not say.
The Chinese economy is developing so fast that officials like Qiu Jianxing can’t keep up with economic development are not uncommon in ministries.Some officials may be familiar with their areas of control, but they are unfamiliar with others, and some are even more familiar than a decade or even decades ago.
In fact, not only officials, many social elites in the young thinking is still very open, can accept the new affairs, until there is a certain position, all day busy with all kinds of socialities, the opportunity and ability to accept new information have declined.They tend to look at the world today with ideas from their youth, but they don’t know that today’s world is very different from the past.
Many of the older sections in the circle of friends in the later generations can also let the director and the director relish spread, which is the truth.Compared with the post-90s and post-00s young people, the post-80s are already old ladies...
Han Hong stopped everyone's low-pitching discussion on the departure of Qiu Jianxing, brought the words back to the topic, and said: "Whether the international oil price will rise or not, we have decided to start the coal-to-oil project."In the early stage, the cost of coal-to-oil is certainly greater than oil, but with the expansion of the scale of construction, the technology will become more mature, and the cost of equipment can be greatly reduced, when the cost of coal-to-oil may fall to almost the same as the oil price, or even lower than the oil price.Our current consideration is to use coal-to-oil technology as a weight to force OPEC and China to sign an agreement to limit oil prices.If OPEC rejects our request...”
"It's very simple, we will make coal-to-oil technology into cabbage prices, so that OPEC completely bankrupt."Feng Xiaochen said lightly.
"Let OPEC go bankrupt, that's what you always dare to say."Xu Zhenbo said with tongues.As an official who has been engaged in foreign trade for a long time, he knows how popular OPEC is.In today's world, with oil in your hands, you can do whatever you want.But in front of the Feng Xiaochen, actually let go of the frenzy of OPEC bankruptcy, is this too confident, or the bottom card is hard enough?
Feng Xiaochen did not care about Xu Zhenbo's evaluation, he said: "Director Xu, I hope that the Ministry of Commerce can meet the OPEC personnel as soon as possible, saying that we need to determine the guarantee of crude oil supply in the future period, including both the supply quantity of crude oil and the supply price."
“Is this meeting on your side?”Xu Zhenbo asked.
"Yes, this meeting is mainly ours, and the Ministry of Commerce has provided us with some cooperation."Our thoughts need to be communicated to each other, which is also a gift and then a soldier."Feng Xiaochen said.
Xu Zhenbo nodded: “Okay, I’ll arrange this thing.However, I can report to the Director of Korea in advance, since it is the equipment company and OPEC side of the negotiations, we are only responsible for arranging the time and place of the negotiations, as for the results of the negotiations, we dare not guarantee."
Han Hong understood Xu Zhenbo's meaning and said, "This matter is left to Xiao Feng to talk about it, and Director Xu helps to check the customs from foreign affairs policy."If Xiao Feng can't talk, it will be up to your Ministry of Commerce to talk about it, and the conditions for the negotiations will be determined by you."
Xu Zhenbo said bitterly: "If Feng never talks, we will talk again, I am afraid it will be passive."However, I still believe in General Feng's negotiating ability, and I think everyone thinks so?"
He said, glanced at the whole court officials, and the people nodded together.Feng Xiaochen has long been a notoriety, we all know that he is best at working with foreign investors, and has repeatedly been able to highlight the soldiers, so that foreign investors have to give in.
Feng Xiaochen smiled at everyone and then said, “We want to sing this play well, and we need everyone to help.”In this regard, the SASAC hopes that several large-scale petrochemical equipment enterprises can fully cooperate with us to complete the construction of coal-to-oil projects.On the part of the Treasury, we may need some financial support.There is also the Ministry of Science and Technology, can you cooperate with us to complete some major technical research tasks?
