When he heard that "the investment president ran away", Yu Zhu suddenly remembered something: "Chief, there is a situation that I think should also be taken seriously. When I first contacted, the Water Well Group contacted CNOOC through us and rented a ship to the Froshoya waters in Africa to start looking for oil."

"Oh? Are there comrades from the original oil department?" the leader immediately looked up and asked.

"Minister Xun, this is indeed the case." A leader of CNOOC reported, "Our two ships have already entered the scheduled sea area. And judging from the preliminary results of the exploration, there is indeed a geological structure of oil production. It is the previous foreign information that no oil has been found in this sea area..."

"I was asking if I could find the oil field, I was asking if their wells were really exploring oil?" Minister Xun interrupted impatiently, "This means that after the petrochemical plant project, that well has begun to look for a stable source of oil, right?"

The answer is obvious, and Minister Xun continued to analyze: "On the other hand, if the oil field is found, they will definitely need to deal with petrochemical companies. Since China has refused and they are planning to find another project, it is very likely...?"

There is no need for too complex reasoning. With oil, of course, it is best to have a petrochemical plant. Since China does not approve it, it is definitely necessary to transfer the target to invest overseas. Under the fog of mutual ignorance, all participants made the most common sense inferences.

The atmosphere was condensed. I didn't know it before, but now I know that the $2 billion project I had invested in in China was about to fly away? And I also settled abroad. All the people present were immediately uneasy.

Minister Xun also calmed down his emotions: "Comrade Xiaoyu, do they have any special requirements for investment?"

"From the preliminary results, there are basically no special requirements. It sounds like very conventional ones."

"Not at all, right? Let's compare it with 901 to see what advantages and disadvantages are there between both sides."

“…”

The agenda began to become relatively boring, and the terms of the agreement began to be compared. After a few hours, the results were finally obtained: "901 is 700,000 tons of ethylene and 300,000 tons of water wells. From the perspective of equipment manufacturing and industrial improvement, 901 has an absolute advantage."

"Wait. All the main equipment of 901 is imported. The well promises to rely mainly on domestic research and development. Only if it is really impossible to provide imported equipment will be used. What you are talking about is the equipment manufacturing and industrial improvement, so you have to eat it in your mouth to calculate it?"

"Okay, this item is on hold for the time being. So what about all the products of 901? There is no controversy about this, right?"

"This is the controversial thing. Petrochemical products have always been the principle of building nearby sales places. 700,000 tons of ethylene plus 10 million tons of gasoline? This has not yet been considered the derived diesel, kerosene, heavy oil and other petrochemical products. The largest market nearest is in Japan. Is it possible that all of them be digested by Japan? Just rely on Taiwan and those small markets nearby? I am not pessimistic. Imagine it and you will know that it is impossible. At that time, it will not be digested by the mainland market? In other words, if all of them are really exported, we still waste time discussing what? Anyway, 901 mainly exports to earn foreign exchange, and the well mainly meets the needs of the mainland, and there are no conflicts. Why do you have to choose one and abandon one? Some words can be opened in internal meetings. Mr. Wang is a businessman first, and we all understand some things."

"Then Mr. Wang promised that he would pay more than 7 billion US dollars. Shuijing hoped to jointly invest with us for more than 2 billion US dollars, and we would pay at least 700 million US dollars, right? There is no controversy over this, right?"

"Note: 901 hopes to be sole proprietorship, and the cooperation method of water wells is very flexible. They can even temporarily advance part of the funds and part of the bank loan, and slowly repay our future profits. Another thing is quite important. I noticed that during the negotiations, they also agreed to join the acquisition terms. That is to say, if the project benefits are good and our country is rich in the future, we can acquire part of the equity and become a controlling stake. In other words, this petrochemical plant may become state-owned."

"Is this possible? Are the capitalists kind-hearted? Selling the hen that laid the golden egg?"

"I can prove this. We have heard from Manager Jaton. They are an investment company, mainly supporting a factory, and then either sell it at a high price, or find ways to go public and cash out. In the long run, they do not pursue holding the factory, but only pursue high returns on investment."

"Is the model you are talking about like the Delta Power in Haijin a few days ago?"

Hearing this, Yu Zhu immediately remembered something, and he quickly raised his hand and said, "Chief, everyone, I was neglected just now. Judging from the information collected, the Shuijing Group also owns shares of Delta Power."

"Ah?" The audience was in an uproar. This news made the participants even more shaky.

Minister Xun, who presided over the meeting, frowned. Suddenly, he smiled and nodded at Zhu: "Comrade Xiaoyu, what are your opinions? We still want to hear the opinions of the front-line negotiating comrades."

Yu Zhu was stunned, thought for a while, and then boldly said, "I have an immature suggestion. Since 901 promises to export all, why can't we continue to pretend to be stupid? Both of them are approved, at least there is no conflict from the existing agreement. One is responsible for the outside and the other is responsible for the inside; one is imported, and one is responsible for the collective research of the domestic manufacturing plants. Isn't this a coincidence?"

"Yeah." Minister Xun thought for a while and nodded, "It can be used as an option."

The discussion continued, and the scene gradually became hot...

...

Jing Jian received this call from Yu Zhu at home. At that time, he was busy settling Zhao Xia and Tiantian who had just returned home. Hearing Yu Zhu's voice, Jing Jian smiled and joked: "Brother Yu, what's the good thing? I've chased me to the United States?"

Yu Zhu was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Jing, I want you to pass on the message again. I wonder if it's convenient?"

"Tell me the message? To whom?"

"It's the manager of Shuijing. Why did he suddenly terminate the negotiations? I just wanted to ask why." Yu Zhu thought of the decision he had just conveyed - the two companies were going to do it together! But now Shuijing has issued a formal document. If you want Shuijing to restart the stove, at least you have to persuade them to change your mind?

Jing Jian was confused immediately: "I know this. Didn't it mean that the Chinese side has no interest, so the well retreated when it came to trouble?"
