Chapter 627 To be an infrastructure madman

Li Weidong and Huanghai Petrochemical have known each other for a long time.

When Li Weidong first started to work as a home appliance OEM, he needed to import blow molding machines and other equipment, so he took the ride of Huanghai Petrochemical and got the equipment from Japan's Sakurada Co., Ltd.

It was also during that trip to Japan that Li Weidong met He An'an, and Huanghai Petrochemical was considered half of Li Weidong's matchmaker.

Later, Li Weidong lacked plastic raw materials, and Huanghai Petrochemical happened to be engaged in an ethylene project, so the two hit it off. Li Weidong used oilfield information as a threat to help Huanghai Petrochemical negotiate an ethylene project, and Huanghai Petrochemical also gave priority to supplying raw materials for Li Weidong.

It can be said that the early development of Puppy Electric is inseparable from Huanghai Petrochemical.

In that era when various raw materials were still relatively scarce, a private enterprise could successfully obtain the supply of scarce raw materials, and then could produce products that others could not produce. In terms of market competition, it could gain an absolute advantage.

Now Li Weidong has to go to Huanghai Petrochemical for help about the motor. .

The current Huanghai Petrochemical has been reorganized into the Huanghai Petrochemical Group, which has dozens of companies and is involved in many fields.

Now the top chairman of Huanghai Petrochemical is Song Jinlong.

Song Jinlong is educated and capable. In his early forties, he was already the director of Huanghai Petrochemical. It was precisely because Song Jinlong was relatively young that he was only the second-in-command of Huanghai Petrochemical.

After several years of experience and training, when Huanghai Petrochemical was changed to a joint-stock group, Song Jinlong finally succeeded and became the chairman of Huanghai Petrochemical.

Song Jinlong is now in his fifties. For the leader of such a large group, this age is a good time for the heyday of Spring and Autumn.

If the leader of such a large group is too young, he is afraid that he will not have enough experience and will not be reliable enough; Therefore, the age of 50 is just right, which is a good age to lead enterprises to forge ahead.

Li Weidong made an appointment and met Song Jinlong.

The two have known each other for a long time, and after a few words of greetings to each other, Li Weidong explained his intention.

Chairman Song, I'm here to ask for something! Li Weidong said.

It's quite new, is there anything that can make it difficult to get you, Brother Li? Song Jinlong asked with a smile.

Li Weidong explained: It's like this. In recent years, the ban on motorcycles in various places has had a greater impact on the sales of our agricultural tricycle factory.

We have also been researching and developing electric motors to replace traditional internal combustion engines. This way you don't have to be restricted by the ban.

So I took a fancy to your subsidiary company of Huanghai Petrochemical, New Oriental Motor Factory. If possible, I would like to directly acquire the New Oriental Motor Factory. I wonder if Huanghai Petrochemical is willing to part with the pain?

Song Jinlong nodded: Chairman Li, your vision is really good! The scale of the New Oriental Motor Factory is not large, but the technical level is very good, and it is also in a leading position in China.

Don't look at the fact that there are less than 300 people in this motor factory, but the sparrow is small and complete. From production, to research and development, to management, the echelon is very comprehensive. This is our excellent asset of Huanghai Petrochemical.

When it comes to business affairs, Song Jinlong's address to Li Weidong has also changed from Brother Li to Chairman Li, which also shows his intention to be businesslike.

Song Jinlong did not directly refuse, and Li Weidong knew there was a drama. So he opened his mouth and said, Song Dong, I am very sincere about the acquisition of the New Oriental Motor Factory. The price will definitely not let Huanghai Petrochemical suffer.

Hehe, if Huanghai Petrochemical suffers a loss, we won't sell it! Song Jinlong smiled slightly, and then said: Chairman Li, New Oriental Motor Factory is not big or small, but after all, it is our Huanghai Petrochemical. subsidiary.

Whether or not to sell the New Oriental Motor Factory is related to the huge change in the company's assets. It doesn't matter if I say it alone. You have to get it on the board of directors and make a collective routine before you can decide. But recently, our board of directors of Huanghai Petrochemical may not have time to discuss this matter.

Song Jinlong said here, and then added: Chairman Li, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to prevaricate you, we really have important things to accomplish.

We Huanghai Petrochemical have been voting on a big project recently, and now we have reached the final critical moment. Now we are all focused on this project and really have no time to care about other things.

Therefore, regarding the matter of the New Oriental Motor Factory, you have to wait. After we have won this big project, the board of directors will have time to discuss the matter of the New Oriental Motor Factory.

Dong Song, is there anything I can help you with this big project? Li Weidong asked.

Song Jinlong knew that Li Weidong was taking the opportunity to inquire about the big project Huanghai Petrochemical was doing, so he answered, It's not a secret, and I won't hide it from you. Do you know about the West-East Gas Pipeline Project?

Li Weidong nodded suddenly, and then asked, You Huanghai Petrochemical will take over the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline Project?

It's the construction of some pipelines. Song Jinlong continued: We Huanghai Petrochemical have always been in the business of natural gas, and in recent years, we have built a number of natural gas transmission pipelines in nearby provinces and cities, so in terms of natural gas transmission official roads, we are There is a certain accumulation of technology.

The West-East Gas Pipeline is an important construction project in the country and an important part of the western development strategy. As a state-owned holding company, we, Huanghai Petrochemical, must respond to the call of the state and participate in the construction of important national strategic projects.

So recently, in addition to maintaining normal production, we have devoted all our energy to bidding for the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline.

Now that the bidding has reached the most critical stage, several companies have already withdrawn. We, Huanghai Petrochemical, are very hopeful to win the bidding and participate in the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline!

It turns out that important projects in the country can't be delayed. Naturally, they are more important than me. Then I will wait a few more days. When Huanghai Petrochemical successfully gets this project, I will disturb Song Dong! Li Weidong said.

Although Song Jinlong responded to the call of the state and participated in the construction of important projects one by one, Li Weidong knew that for a state-owned holding company like Huanghai Petrochemical, if it could undertake the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline, the benefits would definitely not be as simple as making money. The benefits of layers are immeasurable.

Therefore, Huanghai Petrochemical will definitely win this project at all costs.

Other domestic enterprises are similar, and everyone wants to undertake such an important project. It is estimated that for this bidding, relevant domestic companies will kill red eyes.

...

The West-East Gas Pipeline Project starts from the country's western development strategy.

In order to accelerate the development of the western region and improve the living standard of the western region, in January 2000, the State Council established the Western Development Leading Group.

In February of the same year, the state approved the West-East Gas Pipeline project, which is another major investment project in China after the Three Gorges Project, and it is also a landmark construction project that kicked off the development of the western region.

After the West-East Gas Pipeline Project began, China also began to adopt larger-scale infrastructure construction to solve the problem of uneven distribution of domestic resources. The subsequent South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the West-to-East Power Transmission Project, and even the East-to-West Project that entered the Internet era are all similar investment and construction.

It is also since the beginning of the West-East Gas Pipeline that China has become more and more good at engaging in such large infrastructure projects, and has continued to challenge some difficult projects, gradually becoming today's infrastructure maniac.

When natural gas was discovered in the Tarim Basin, the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline was already discussed in China. Subsequently, natural gas resources were successively discovered in the Qaidam Basin, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region, and the bottom of the Sichuan Basin. The West-East Gas Pipeline Project It gradually became a project that had to be built.

The entire West-East Gas Pipeline Project is divided into several routes. They all start from the Tarim Basin, and pass through the Drug Traffickers Basin, the Hexi Corridor, the Ningxia Plain, and the Loess High Slope, and are separated in central China.

The first-line project leads to the Yangtze River Delta region, the second-line project leads to the Pearl River Delta region, and the third-line project leads to the Dong'an coast. Later, the Shaanxi-Beijing line was built to transport natural gas to the capital.

The project was established in August 2000, and the construction of the test section started in July 2002. The first-line project was completed two years later, and the natural gas from the Tarim Basin was delivered to the Yangtze River Delta.

This line spans more than half of China, and it cannot be completed by one unit alone, so many domestic enterprises are involved in this project.

Huanghai Petrochemical is to bid for the construction of one of the projects.

Pipeline transportation of natural gas is not just about pulling a steel pipe and burying it underground, and it also involves a lot of technology.

Making a qualified natural gas transportation pipeline is only the first step, and there are various other equipment, such as various testing instruments, various valves, and various sensing devices, which are all necessities.

In the process of weather transportation, centrifugal compressors, pressure adjustment equipment, separation and dust removal equipment, pipeline cleaning equipment, etc. are also needed.

And the most critical is not the hardware device, but the mathematical calculation.

The hydraulic, thermal, airflow, pressure, etc. in the gas pipeline all need to be strictly calculated, and due to the undulating terrain, separate calculations are required for different areas to obtain the corresponding data to ensure that natural gas can be transported out.

In addition, the layout planning of the pressure stations along the gas pipeline, the layout planning of each gas transmission station, and the layout planning of the gas transmission trunk line must all be scientifically demonstrated.

Therefore, the construction of natural gas pipelines is far from being as simple as it seems.

In the field of natural gas, long-distance natural gas transportation technology, although not as complicated as LNG-related technologies, is not something that ordinary countries can master. At least a country with a half-hearted industrial level cannot do this kind of project.

The ability of Huanghai Petrochemical to build natural gas pipelines also shows that they are technically leaders in this area in China.

...

Bidding for the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline is a big deal, and Song Jinlong has no need to prevaricate Li Weidong with such a thing.

However, Li Weidong still wanted to know more about the inside story, so he decided to ask Uncle He about the situation.

The West-East Gas Pipeline Project started in the Tarim Basin, where Uncle He worked there, so there should be more information.

Uncle He was busy with work during the day and didn't call Li Weidong back until night.

Wei Dong, it's easier for me to speak now, what can I do for you during the day? Uncle He asked.

Li Weidong gave a few simple greetings before asking, Uncle, there is something I want to ask you about. Do you understand the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline?

Of course I understand. This project was established in the second half of last year. It has been in the bidding process this year. It is estimated that construction will not start until next year. The entire project needs to lay more than 4,000 kilometers of natural gas pipelines, which requires high technical requirements and is difficult to construct. , our country has never done such a big natural gas project before! Uncle He replied.

Did Huanghai Petrochemical also participate in the bidding? Li Weidong asked.

That's right. Huanghai Petrochemical already has natural gas business, and has also laid natural gas transportation pipelines in many cities. Their technology has been verified, and they have also accumulated some experience. In terms of natural gas pipeline construction, it is a company A very competitive company. Uncle He said.

Then do they have a good chance of winning the bid? Li Weidong asked.

Uncle He hesitated for a moment, then said, I shouldn't have disclosed who could win the bid, but now that the situation is clearer, it's okay for me to reveal it.

In the early bidding process, some companies with poor technology, inexperience, or lack of strength have been eliminated. Now, the remaining ones are all large companies with good technology, rich experience and strong strength. In fact, they are the most famous ones in the domestic petrochemical industry. You can guess who they are.

Since the overall project is relatively long, the whole project is divided into several parts and distributed to multiple companies for construction. We also hope to use this method to verify whose construction plan is better. When building second-line projects in the future, we will Know which option to choose.

These big companies also know that they cannot afford the construction of the entire line in one go, so they all voted separately. If I remember correctly, there are still two companies still bidding for the bid that Huanghai Petrochemical bid. One is Huanghai Petrochemical, and the other is Huafu Group!

Huafu Group? This is much larger than the scale of Huanghai Petrochemical! Li Weidong was slightly surprised.

Yes, as a top state-owned enterprise in China, Huafu Group has many industries, among which Huafu Gas Company, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com have been doing urban gas distribution business in recent years, and natural gas distribution in major domestic provincial capital cities. It’s all Huafu Gas’ business.”

Now it seems that the leaders of Huafu Group are very far-sighted, and they are not satisfied with the downstream industry of natural gas. They also want to develop to the upstream industry and participate in the upstream and mid-stream natural gas industry chain. Uncle He introduced slowly.

Then Huanghai Petrochemical also encountered a strong competitor. Li Weidong sighed and continued: But Huanghai Petrochemical has built natural gas pipelines in several cities after all, and has experience and technology in this area.

Huafu Gas is only engaged in natural gas distribution. In terms of pipeline construction, its technology and experience are definitely not as good as that of Huanghai Petrochemical. In addition to having stronger capital, Huafu Gas should not be an opponent of Huanghai Petrochemical.

Weidong, you are wrong this time! Sometimes having more capital is the biggest advantage! Uncle He continued, As far as the current situation is concerned, the chances of Huanghai Petrochemical winning this tender case are not equal to that of Huanghai Petrochemical. Not big!

Why? Li Weidong asked in confusion.

Because Huafu Gas has invited foreign aid! They have introduced more advanced natural gas pipeline transportation technology from abroad! Uncle He explained.
