"One more thing, boss, CNOOC and royal shell of the Netherlands have officially launched a 30 billion yuan integrated refining and chemical project negotiation since the beginning of the year. According to my information, the negotiation has come to an end and can be signed in the second half of the year at the latest. Moreover, both PetroChina and SINOPEC are also negotiating large integrated refining and chemical projects. If everything is all right It will put a lot of pressure on our investment in refining and chemical industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. "
The glass curtain wall of the shell villa.
This is March 26.
Sunday.
While the whole Hollywood is paying attention to the Oscar ceremony in the evening, Simon took time to sort out the industrial layout of China with Chen Qing this afternoon.
Feeling the warmth of the afternoon sun outside the curtain wall, Simon leaned on the sofa to listen to Chen Qing's report, looked at another report on westrow's investment in China's textile industry, and said: "where does this project probably fall?"
"The site selection is uncertain for the time being, and many regions are competing. I heard about several options, such as Shandong Qingdao, Zhejiang Ningbo and Guangdong Huizhou," Chen Qing said, pausing and said, "at that time, I'll see if I can operate it, at least not Ningbo."
Simon shook his head: "don't do such a thing. It's too hateful. It may backfire."
Chen Qing said, "I'll take the measure."
"Speaking of scale..." Simon bent his mouth slightly and aimed at the girl next to him: "I don't believe you any more."
Chen Qing feels her boss's eyes and shrinks her neck. She also understands that her boss knows that she is in control of the scale. It seems that she often goes a little too far. Seeing that the man is still looking at herself, she can only nod: "well, I won't interfere."
Simon looked back this time, turned the information on his lap and asked, "the investment is about 4 billion. What's the approximate shareholding ratio?"
"Not surprisingly, it should be half and half, 50% each," Chen Qing said. "The boss should be able to guess that CNOOC is in a hurry for this project in order to prepare for another IPO, so it does not strive for an absolute majority of the controlling stake. It can be regarded as an advantage for Royal shell. It will certainly not be so easy to talk on both sides of PetroChina and Sinopec."
In China's petrochemical industry, there is no mandatory requirement that state-owned capital must hold more than 50%. However, this rule was also tacitly understood in the usual cooperation in the past. Obviously, this time, as Chen Qing said, CNOOC's impatience gave Royal Dutch Shell a big advantage.
After all, CNOOC is not a local enterprise with few bargaining chips, but the core Chinese central enterprise. The hidden resources it has are definitely not comparable to the local refining and chemical enterprises cooperating in China on the side of Westeros system. In this case, the joint venture project does not have absolute control and seems to be equal, but in fact, it will be cut more benefits by Royal shell for a long time in the future.
Turning these thoughts, Simon didn't say much, Just to Chen Qing: "No matter what others do, we can do our two projects well. Moreover, with China's development speed and the prospect of China's subsequent accession to the WTO, China's demand for olefin products will be scarce for a long time in the future, and the competition in the industry will not be too fierce. In addition, China's tightening of access to the refining and chemical industry can not last forever. In the next few years, we happen to You can use the two projects in your hand to cultivate your own management team and establish a perfect procurement, production and distribution system. The time is right in the future, and expansion is just a matter of one sentence. "
Chen Qing listened carefully and nodded: "the boss is still considerate."
Simon ignored this Ni Zi's flattery and still turned over the information in his hand, while focusing on two purposes: "in terms of real estate, I don't seem to be too popular when I see the information?"
Chen Qing, with a little depression on her pretty face: "boss, we... Seem to have spread the stall a little big. Although the state has successively launched a series of policies to support the real estate industry, it seems that house prices have not increased too much in the past two years, and the market demand is not active enough."
"Isn't that taken for granted?" Simon is not surprised: "from welfare distribution to commodity economy, we always need a transition period. What we have to do is to enter the market in advance."
Chen Qing said in a small voice, "boss, will you come in earlier?"
Simon smiled and shook his head. He didn't respond directly. Instead, he remembered a paragraph in Sun Tzu's art of war and read: "those who are first in the battlefield and treat the enemy are lost, and those who are later in the battlefield and tend to fight are laborious. Therefore, those who are good at fighting will cause people rather than people."
Of course Chen Qing understood, but she still followed him and said, "the boss is so erudite. What do you mean?"
Simon just glanced at her and said, "in short, if everyone finds that the market is beginning to be hot and rushes in one after another, how much profit can we make if we follow up?"
Chen Qing nodded, blinked, and then said, "what the boss said is that I have been in the domestic stock market recently. After the bull market last year, everyone is talking about stock speculation. Tut tut."
Simon smiled and asked casually, "what about you?"
"Hey, hey, I also invested a sum of money in it last year. At present, it has doubled and is withdrawing full."
When the girl knew she was going to start running, Simon didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
Chen Qing returned to the real estate topic just now: "in fact, boss, when I came, I discussed with general manager Vanke Wang. He asked me to ask. Well, boss, how long will it take you to judge that China's real estate industry will enter the next prosperity cycle?"
"After China's accession to the WTO," Simon said, "in about the same time, the reform of the real estate industry in mainland China will be completely completed, the economic growth will be accelerated due to China's accession to the WTO, the market demand will rise, and the prosperity period will come."
This argument is obviously not surprising to Chen Qing. It is the same after reading various reports. However, Chen Qing thought and subconsciously lowered her voice: "boss, in fact, since China signed the WTO accession agreement with the United States last year, there is another voice growing louder and louder. It is said that China's accession to the WTO is more likely to damage the domestic economy rather than benefit from it?"
"There must be some damage," Simon said without denying it. "For example, China's agriculture will certainly lose its competitiveness in the face of mechanized large-scale production in Europe and America."
Chen Qing didn't expect her boss to be so straightforward. She grew up slightly and said, "ah?"
Simon glanced at her again and said, "are you afraid?"
Chen Qing is not the kind of person who eats minced meat. Her boss said it lightly, but she was really afraid when she thought about it along a certain way: "boss, should, um, there be no big problem?"
Simon shook his head: "you have a generation of time, no problem."
When Chen Qing heard the affirmative answer, she was a little relieved and had some doubts: "a generation?"
"China's current generation of farmers still have a considerable obsession with land. It is probably the kind of mentality that even if they don't make money, they can't let their own land be deserted. This mentality is the greatest guarantee for China's agricultural production. However, when China's economy develops, if the next generation finds that a kilogram of grain can't be exchanged for a bottle of mineral water, the harvest will not be worth it after a busy year "Put in..." said Simon, shrugging slightly: "at that time, they probably won't have any enthusiasm."
Chen Qing asked subconsciously, "what should I do?"
Simon continued to turn over the information in his hand and whispered, "this is not my concern."
Chen Qing pondered for a moment and suddenly felt that it was not his concern. Anyway, he couldn't get hungry. What's more, his current position... So she put aside this matter and discussed the textile industry he was reading with her boss.
Talking, the sound of high heels came. It was girl a with a blue folder in her hand.
As she approached, she handed the folder to her boss. Girl a said, "boss, this is the latest news from Russia. The voting results are basically determined. Vladimir's vote rate is 52%, an absolute majority."
Simon temporarily stopped the discussion with Chen Qing, opened the folder handed over by girl a and read it carefully.
Compared with the Oscar ceremony in the evening, Simon is more concerned about another presidential election held in advance in Russia in Europe this Sunday.
Browsing the information in his hand, Simon was inexplicably in a trance.
Now, some things, some layout, are completely settled.
The two girls stood and sat next to Simon. They obviously felt the inexplicable emotion revealed by their boss after hearing the news. They looked at each other and were not in a hurry to speak.
After a while, seeing that her boss had turned over only two or three thin pages of information, she seemed to be in a daze. Chen Qing finally spoke first: "boss, what's the matter?"
Simon heard the voice in his ear, returned to his mind, smiled, glanced at the two closest women around him, and said, "nothing, just, just made history, and then, some worried about the future."
Simon's words were a little confused, but girl a immediately reacted. After all, she was with someone. Chen Qing quickly understood when she thought of the documents in her boss's hands and thought about the many actions of Westeros system in Eastern Europe.
Russia's general election has its own boss.
Even the one just elected, or the one pushed by his own boss?!
Thinking of this, Chen Qing wondered again. Her boss didn't seem to be happy about it, so she tried to say, "boss, isn't this a good thing?"
Simon didn't nod or shake his head, but said, "just thinking about another future."
In a word, facing the doubts of the two girls, Simon didn't continue.
Another future?
For example, without this election, Russia's new president changed a person, a real and complete puppet, so Russia, with 17 million square kilometers of land, will disintegrate again one day in the future.
What will happen to?
Moreover, in fact, Simon doesn't care about what will happen to Russia at all. Instead, he is worried about what will happen in more than ten or twenty years.
For those who lived in most peaceful countries after the 1990s, it seems that the world will always be so peaceful.
Not really.
In the long history of mankind, there are only a few quiet times. In most cases, they are in a state of war.
War!
War Never Change!
Therefore, when the peaceful period after the 1990s will end may not be accurately predicted, but it is inevitable that one day.
It's still that sentence, because plunder is easier than production, because destruction is easier than construction, because it's easier to anger others than to reflect on themselves. In short, human nature likes leisure and hates work, and always chooses a method that seems easier to solve a problem.
Thinking so, feeling that two beautiful eyes around him were still looking at himself, Simon swept over, smiled and said, "do you remember when the Soviet German non aggression treaty was signed during World War II?"
The problem is a little confused. Girl a still has some doubts. Chen Qing has said, "1939?"
Simon nodded: "then, two years later, Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union."
The two girls still looked puzzled.
Simon smiled again, say: "I'm just thinking that if one day the world situation becomes tense again, maybe many people think that the third world war will not break out, but they may forget that the first World War broke out only because of an assassination. However, is it really just because of an assassination? No, because everything is inevitable, because the development of mainstream countries in the world at that time is difficult Entering the bottleneck, no one is willing to admit that this is their own problem, and no one wants to work hard to solve the problem, such as improving productivity through technological innovation or adjusting social distribution mechanism to resolve internal contradictions. In fact, they are not to blame, because it is too difficult and too long, and some people may give up their vested interests. How is this possible? It seems easier to start a war and destroy your competitors. "
Both girls felt the inexplicable heaviness in their boss's tone and hesitated a little. Chen Qing said again, "boss, why do you say this?"
Simon bowed his head and turned over several pages of election results statistics from Russia again, "It's just some emotion, but if one day, um, for example, things progress again, a group of nuclear weapon states suddenly take the initiative to say that we should sign an agreement on absolutely not launching nuclear war. After all, destruction is not good for everyone. So, what do you think will happen next?"
Chen Qing subconsciously said, "nuclear war?"
"I hope not," Simon suddenly lost interest. He let go of the information in his hand, stood up, stretched his body, looked at the two girls around him, and smiled again: "no work, go out and play."
Chen Qing echoed: "boss, what are you playing?"
That's a problem.
Simon thought for a moment before he said, "how about racing from Los Angeles to San Francisco and coming back before melisandra's party in the evening?"
Chen Qing didn't nod, but looked at girl a.
Well, racing is still very dangerous. What's more, when his boss last touched the steering wheel, he probably doesn't remember. If he bumps, his wife thinks she encourages him, he may be skinned.
Simon went out by himself without waiting for the two girls to agree. I'm not in a good mood. I'm going to indulge and stimulate.
Then, come back and think about how to solve it.
After all, this time is not once. He doesn't need to drift with the tide under the general trend, but has enough strength to change a lot of things.
