Chapter 1029 Compromise
It was already twelve:30 when Chen Huai arrived at the Provincial Ying Hotel. Not only Li Gu, Pang Yunsong, Lu Junsheng and others were there, Wu Haifeng and Xiong Wenbin were also called Li Gu, and Pang Yunsong invited him to the table.
The table was filled with wine and food, and he was the only one who didn’t start the meal. Chen Huai bowed and apologized: “I’m sorry, there’s something happening at the moment, so everyone has been waiting for a long time.”
As for what happened temporarily, Chen Huai would never say that he had been having too much fun last night and fell asleep in the bathtub before coming.
"La Li, Chairman Wu, and Mayor Xiong have not met for a while. If you just come, we are just idle. We are just tired of your stomach. You can have a drink later and we will forgive you." Pang Yunsong said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, who told you officials to be older than me?" Chen Huai sat down and saw Lu Junsheng pouring wine for him first. He asked with a smile, "Is there a punishment for drinking?"
Li Gu and Pang Yunsong urged Chen Huai to drink quickly.
Chen Huai drank half a cup of Wuliangye and started the meal. Then everyone poured the wine and started eating and drinking slowly.
"I heard that the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II project is not going very smoothly?" Pang Yunsong mentioned the topic of the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II project.
Chen Huai scratched his nose and smiled and said, "Secretary Pang's news is more informative than me. I don't think there is any unsuccessful progress in the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project."
"Don't let anyone get sloppy," Li Gu asked Chen Huai with a smile, "Have you ever considered putting the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project in Lanshan?"
Chen Huai guessed that Pang Yunsong mobilized all the troops and asked him, Wu Haifeng and Xiong Wenbin to come for dinner through Li Gu, probably for this.
He smiled bitterly. It was not that he hadn't thought about it, but things were far from as easy as he thought.
The preparation period for large-scale refining and chemical projects is usually very long. The first phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation was submitted for approval before 1998. At that time, there were no strict requirements for marine resource utilization and environmental assessment. The main consideration was to consider production safety and market supply and demand factors, and the approval procedures were relatively simple.
Even so, it took a year for Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase I from preparation to final approval for construction.
After 1998, relevant laws and regulations on environmental and marine resource utilization have been improved one after another. Since the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation was established, it has not yet obtained the final approval from the Planning Commission and the State Administration of Environment since the establishment of the project.
Now considering putting the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project in Lanshan, the preliminary preparations must be done again.
In order to build the first phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation, tens of billions of funds were invested outside the Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park, and it took several years to build a large-scale petrochemical storage base, a 100,000-ton crude oil terminal, and pipeline transportation and other supporting projects.
Although the expressway between Lanshan and Donghua will be completed and opened to traffic after the New Year, the infrastructure conditions such as ports and terminals are too poor. Now that the second phase of the project is to be put into Lanshan, more than one billion yuan of funds will be invested in related supporting projects.
In addition to oil refining, Xinpu Refining and Chemical mainly produces chemical intermediate raw materials.
In recent years, Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park has attracted investment and introduced more than 120 supporting and mid- and downstream petrochemical enterprises, and has initially formed an industrial cluster with scale advantages; and transporting chemical raw materials and fuel to various parts of Huaihai Bay has also formed the transportation advantages of railways, highways and Zhujiang waterways.
At this time, the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation will be built in Lanshan, and the various advantages formed before will be seriously weakened.
However, Pang Yunsong ran over so actively, he would not have completely fought an inconsistency battle. Chen Huai was not in a hurry to express his opinion and asked Pang Yunsong: "Secretary Pang always wants to tell us what advantages does Lanshan have?"
"Lanshan Petrochemical General Factory has been preparing to launch a refining and chemical project for many years. The city and Lanshan Petrochemical officially established a preparatory group two years ago to promote related work. I believe that Secretary Chen, you know a little, right?" The wise man did not say secret words. Pang Yunsong believed that Chen Huai was very familiar with the situation in Lanshan, so he directly talked about the topic to the key points.
Chen Huai nodded. Lanshan Petrochemical General Factory is the largest state-owned enterprise in Lanshan City. It has been an old factory for more than 50 years. It has a total assets of more than 2 billion yuan. It was transformed into a Group Co., Ltd. in 1992 and is also the only listed enterprise in Lanshan City.
Because of its long history, Lanshan Petrochemical, like other state-owned enterprises, has accumulated disadvantages such as aging equipment and redundant personnel for many years.
Although Lanshan Petrochemical raised more than 300 million yuan from the securities market when it went public in 1996, the additional consumption and blind diversified development have insufficient equipment and technology upgrades. After Lanshan Petrochemical went public, its operating efficiency did not be effectively improved.
It is also a blessing that the demand for chemical raw materials market has been strong in the past two years, and Lanshan Petrochemical Corporation is still able to maintain low profit operations at present.
Two years ago, Lanshan City and Lanshan Petrochemical intend to promote the integrated refining project with a three-million-ton crude oil refining capacity, but no one in the industry can think that Lanshan Petrochemical has the ability to promote the project in recent years.
At this time, Lanshan City was not much better than Donghua in 1994 and 1995.
"Lanshan City has long realized that relying solely on Lanshan City does not have the ability to promote the construction of large-scale refining and chemical projects alone, and a consensus has been formed in the middle of the year. We hope to combine the deepening of reforms in Lanshan Petrochemical with the promotion of the construction of large-scale refining and chemical projects..." Pang Yunsong said.
"Ranshan has invested a lot this time." Li Gu said with a smile.
In order to introduce the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project to Lanshan, Pang Yunsong took out a listed company in Lanshan City to reorganize and reorganize it, which can be said to have invested a lot of money.
"Lanshan's infrastructure is still too weak," Chen Huai said.
"No matter how weak it is, it is stronger than Xinpu in 1996," Pang Yunsong saw Chen Huai's tone relaxed and said with a smile, "The Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund has a budget of 4 billion yuan in 2002. If it can be invested in Lanshan, the situation of Lanshan's infrastructure lag should be much better at once..."
"Secretary Pang, your plan is too good," Chen Huai smiled bitterly, "If you want to put the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Engineering in Lanshan just to facilitate the convenience of putting the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Engineering in Lanshan, the Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund will invest the remaining 4 billion budget to Lanshan. I waved my hand and said it has nothing to do with me. Chairman Wu will make people scold him."
"Lanshan is the weakest link in the Huaihai Bay Economic Development Planning Zone. If Rongxin and Sinopec build refining and chemical projects in Xinjin next year, the coastal railway will probably start construction, but I believe that Rongxin Group will only build a small section connecting Xinjin and Xinpu first. They also want to attract some sponsorship from the government construction fund. Of course, the more important capital investment still depends on Rongxin Group to raise funds," said Wu Haifeng. "Whether the Lanshan to Xinjin section can be built next year depends on how the province promotes it."
The railway from Xinjin to Xinpu is less than 40 kilometers, and a railway from Lanshan to Xinjin is paved.
The planning, survey, design and other work of coastal railways have been done. The planning details have been compiled into a book and approved. However, when to start construction and which section to start construction, in addition to the railway department, the main thing is to rely on local capital investment. After all, coastal railways are only positioned as branch railways and do not receive strong support from national construction funds.
The branch railway from Lanshan to Xinpu, even if it takes into account the difficulty of coastal foundations and other construction, only a single-line electrified railway can be almost solved with a budget of 30 to 4 billion yuan.
Chen Huai nodded and said, "The key is to look at the attitude of the province. We can only be responsible for doing some specific work below."
Pang Yunsong and the staff around him took a look. Chen Huai and Wu Haifeng's opinions were relatively clear. They did not oppose investing more funds from the government funds in Lanshan infrastructure, but they had to cooperate with the construction of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II to Lanshan. If the news spread, it would be quite unfavorable to the Meigang System. Therefore, it would be best if Governor Xu Pei took the lead in promoting this matter, and they "go with the flow."
*********************************
I think Pang Yunsong had already reported this to Xu Pei, and it is not difficult to explain Guo Chengze. Meng Jiansheng's attitude has become so "indecisive" and "weak". It is necessary to reconcile the conflict between Meigang and Rongxin's current project and transfer the refining part of the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Engineering project to Lanshan. It is also a solution that can compromise with each other.
After two days, Xu Pei officially called Chen Huai to the office to talk about this issue.
Chen Huai also came forward in person. After many consultations with CNOOC, CNOOC finally agreed to consider building a large refining base in Lanshan.
On the one hand, in order to ensure that the interests of Xinpu are not weakened, and at the same time, Lanshan has relatively sufficient infrastructure funds, Chen Huai proposed that Lanshan Tingcheng District and Xiapu County cooperate to develop and build the Tingcheng-Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park in the model of establishing a joint industrial park, and promote the construction of Lanshan refining and chemical base.
After New Year's Day, Chen Huai, Wu Haifeng, Wei Fenghua and relevant officials of CNOOC rushed to Lanshan. Although Lanshan Petrochemical began to formulate a plan to develop a refining and chemical base two years ago, the planned construction land was still a salt-alkali wasteland, and some large pieces of salt-alkali-resistant reeds fell on the wasteland.
In order to ensure that the application and approval work are not interrupted, the construction plan of the three million tons of refining project formulated by Lanshan Refining and Chemical will not make any major adjustments.
The second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation is not a simple adjustment, and it involves a wide range of aspects. Lanshan City's urban construction and industrial development plans and the province's petrochemical industry development plans must be greatly adjusted accordingly; and new refining projects will also appear as the first phase of Lanshan Petrochemical's large-scale refining and refining base.
The preliminary plan for the new adjustment will be planned and a refining base of tens of millions of tons will be built on this wasteland in the future.
In comparison, Lanshan's industrial construction land, environmental capacity and other resources are looser than Xinpu.
As long as the railways, highways, inland rivers, pipeline transportation and other infrastructure can be connected between Lanshan and Xinpu, CNOOC is more willing to build Lanshan into an energy and chemical raw material supply base in Huaihai Bay.
Especially the shallow seas outside Lanshan also have richer oil and gas resources, and the long-term natural gas reserves may reach nearly 100 billion cubic meters. This may be the richest gas reservoir along the coast of Huaihai Bay, but to be mined, a large amount of funds are needed to be invested in the early stage for further geological surveys.
Huaihai State-owned Assets also plans to cooperate with CNOOC to establish a joint venture company, invest 500 million yuan to conduct further geological surveys on the shallow seas outside Lanshan in advance.
Fortunately, Huaineng has just upgraded and renovated the Lanshan Power Plant, and there is a shortage of power supply in the short term. However, in addition to the refining and chemical base itself and the supporting crude oil terminals, petrochemical storage tank areas and other supporting projects, as well as the construction of the foundation and living facilities of the entire industrial park, a lot of funds are also needed.
Fortunately, there are previous examples of the cooperative industrial park that can be learned from, but the previous Huaixi Qingshan Electric Power Industrial Park and Meixi-Qingsha Metallurgical Industrial Park are smaller in scale, while the Tingcheng-Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park is larger in scale.
In addition to the 20 square kilometers of industrial land including Lanshan Petrochemical, the industrial park also includes the development and construction of 12 kilometers of coastline port terminals, including the development and construction of Dagang New City supporting the industrial park.
The cooperation period between the two parties is 20 years. Lanshanting City District provides construction land, Xinpu Port Investment Group provides funds needed for industrial park infrastructure construction on behalf of Xiapu County Government, and future local fiscal and taxation and land transfer income will be distributed as the cooperation income of both parties.
That is to say, in the next twenty years, due to the increase in local fiscal and taxation due to the development of industrial parks, some Lanshan City will only enjoy half of the amount, and the remaining half will be owned by Xiapu County as investment income.
In addition to acquiring 40% of Lanshan Petrochemical's shares held by the Lanshan Municipal Government, Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation also invested 1 billion yuan to participate in the targeted additional issuance of Lanshan Petrochemical, increasing the equity ratio to 70%; Lanshan Petrochemical was directly taken over by Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation, and CNOOC and Huaihai State-owned Assets will no longer directly participate in the restructuring and restructuring of Lanshan Petrochemical.
As for Xinpu Refining and Chemical, the refining part of the second phase project is only moved to Lanshan, and the investment of up to 3 billion yuan of ethylene and PX will be the subsequent two projects of the refining and chemical integration, and will continue to be built in Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park.
Such a compromise plan also cleared the way for Rongxin and Sinopec to build a new refining and chemical production capacity of up to 3 million tons in Xinjin. In the subsequent construction of coastal railways, Rongxin also made a step back and agreed to jointly initiate the establishment of a joint stock company with Huaihai State-owned Assets, Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund and East China Railway Bureau to be responsible for the construction of coastal branch railways, which is considered to be such a compromise plan.
The coordination, compromise and adjustment of a series of plans runs through the Spring Festival in 2002, and by the end of March, the plans for the tens of million-ton refining and chemical base and the Lanshan oil and gas resource development and energy base construction were officially formulated.
The integrated refining and chemical base with a total budget of up to 20 billion yuan in the next ten years. This not only injects a needle into the heart of the people of Lanshan, but also attracts a lot of talk in the province.
Some people also kept coming to Shen Huai to inquire and ask if he would be transferred to Lanshan for work.
Shen Huai didn't know where the rumors came from, but they were spreading with slightest eyes. It is said that in order to promote Lanshan's poverty alleviation and development, the province considered transferring him to Lanshan as executive vice mayor first for one year and a half, and then directly presided over the work of Lanshan Municipal Government. At that time, he would become the youngest mayor in Huaihai...
