Chapter 637 Memorandum
The 39-story Jinshui Building is located near the Bund. Looking out from the upper floor, you can see the winding Huangpu River and the beautiful scenery on both sides. This building is also one of the by-products produced by Shuilii's "not doing its job properly". Shuilii Group occupies the entire five floors of this building and becomes the location of the group's headquarters.
In the spacious general manager's office at the headquarters, Jaton warmly welcomed Yu Zhu and his group. After a few minutes of greetings, Jaton followed Jing Jian's instructions last night and went straight to the topic: "The strength of our water well company is unquestionable. It's the New Year of you Chinese, so I don't want to waste your gentlemen's time. If you want to inquire about our company, you can learn from the Hujiang Municipal Government. And our group is interested in investing 300,000 tons of ethylene and ethylene and its extremely affiliated industrial projects, hoping to make today's key points into a "Memorandum" and become the basis for formal negotiations in the future?"
Yu Zhu looked at his companions with a hint of surprise in his eyes. In fact, the attitude of Xinxing Group can be seen from the level of the attendees. During the "901 Project", the boss of Xinxing Group personally visited Wang Yongqing, and this time it was just the small director Yu Zhu? It should be said that Xinxing Group was somewhat misled by the Hujiang Market, that is, he wanted this project, but he was afraid that the Shuijing Company would brag and that he would make a fool of himself and would not be able to get out of the stage at the highest level. Therefore, he sent Yu Zhu and others to the front station first to find out the situation.
In other words, Yu Zhu and the others did not have any decision-making power. But what was embarrassing was that how could they tell the foreigner in front of them? Could it be that: "We are minions, let's first find out if you are a liar..." Well, if you dare to say such words, once Yu Zhu and the others go back, the cliff will be pulled out and shot for five minutes first.
Yu Zhu looked at Jing Jian like a request for help. Jing Jian raised his eyelids and said that he could not help. Jing Jian was also angry, and of course he could understand the meaning of personnel level and was a little dissatisfied with the attitude of Xinxing Group. Do you want to test like this? Do you have time to play with you like this?
Fortunately, Yu Zhu quickly put his position in the right place, and he asked Jaton: "Mr. Jaton, can you borrow the phone? I'll report to our chief?"
Jaton shrugged. Of course, he would not set any obstacles on such trivial matters. Yu Zhu hurriedly left and called, and came back hurriedly after a few minutes. He looked at Jaton with a smile: "Originally, our chief wanted to come to Hujiang to visit you Mr. Jaton in person. It happened that he couldn't get rid of his body in the capital in the New Year. He expressed his most sincere greetings to you. The "Memorandum" is fine, but he stated in advance that I have no right to decide some things. I can only record the opinions of your Water Well Group in the "Memorandum".
Jaton nodded expressionlessly. Yu Zhu finally got a limited authorization, just one, very simple - all those who invest in Shenma can agree, anyway, it will be beneficial to China but not harmful. And all the contents of the bargaining will be recorded and discussed!
"Our Water Well Group is preparing to invest in a petrochemical project with a total investment of US$2.378 billion in China. This is a specific catalog, including the third phase of the petrochemical project, the construction of derivative industries, and the third phase of the construction of 200 gas stations in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas..."
"In principle, we welcome all investments. But major projects in our country need to be approved. For example, why should there be gas station projects?"
"This is our first negotiation, which is nothing more than including all the projects that our wells are interested in. Some are that we are optimistic about the Chinese market, and some are helpful to our product digestion. Please note: I don't want to cause any misunderstandings. This is not a package pressure. If you don't agree with it, I will not invest in anything. Please understand that our wells are very flexible. We can split the entire project into several small projects and invest in those agreed by the Chinese government. We can also jointly invest with your Chinese state-owned companies. For example, if your Chinese state-owned companies can give out $1.5 billion of US$2.378 billion, our wells can invest in the remaining part and do not need controlling rights. Of course, if the issue of operating rights is not met, or the small projects obtained are just bones, we will choose to withdraw. After all, we are a commercial investment company."
"Yeah." Yu Zhu nodded and agreed to Jaton's statement and expressed his understanding. Anyway, he is here as a melody. If the above does not agree with some small projects, at most he will not approve it.
"The location of the project is tentatively set to Hujiang City."
"Uh-huh."
"Sorry, let's put it in the story. I am from the Hujiang Municipal Government. I sincerely welcome the Shuijing Group to invest again in Hujiang Market, and welcome Xinxing Group to help with the construction. For this project, our Hujiang Market has arranged two locations. One is the main island of Chongming Island, and the planned land is 520 hectares. The other is placed on the affiliated Hengsha Island, with an area of 7,800 hectares. In fact, Hengsha Island can be used as a whole, and it is best to be built into a petrochemical island."
“…”
At the beginning, there were routine issues and issues that would not cause any objection. As for those gas stations, Jing Jian had the idea of not mentioning it in vain. It was nothing to refuse, but it was a surprise to agree. At this time, the government had not realized the important sales channel of gas stations, which could be invested by foreign investors or private investors.
Just ten years later, the three barrels of oil began to squeeze the private gas station market in China, and basically all were forced acquisitions. Of course, you can not sell them, so you can guarantee that you will never get a drop of oil. In the end, it created a monopoly position in the gas station market. But on the other hand, the three barrels of oil are rich and powerful. Such forced acquisitions will definitely not suffer any losses. It is basically 5, 6 times, or even dozens of times your investment back then.
In other words, Jing Jian took out 340 million yuan to build these gas stations at this time. After a few years, not only can the entire investment be recovered through the operation of the gas station, but it can also be sold to three barrels of oil for at least about 2 billion yuan. The policy has been released from private and foreign investment again, which is already after 2010.
However, as the negotiations gradually deepened, the two sides began to involve some sensitive issues:
"Mr. Jaton, forgive my straightforwardness. I would like to ask, can your Water Well Group really provide such a huge amount of funds?"
