The journey starts from the Titanic

"Yes! Big sister, 100,000 mu is a big number, can you think about it?"

Wu Manli asked.

"I'm not asking you, let you help me to advise me." Song Ailing said, "Now the rubber industry is going up all the way. The rubber plantations that grow rubber in the early years have been profitable. I didn't take it seriously. Is it late? I just have some spare money in my hand."

Wu Manli saw that Kong Xiangxi did not refute it, and it seems that the two of them have already discussed it.

They buy it if they want!Selling to large households is better than selling to small households. It is easier to manage the rubber plantation.

Wu Manli nodded and said, "There is no shortage of land in Nanhua. You can buy it with as much money as you can. One hundred thousand mu shouldn't be a problem. However, it will take 6 years to harvest rubber at the earliest. Putting the funds on the land will bring more pressure. Big. You have to think about it."

Jiang Weiji didn't expect the land to sell so hot. He learned that the Song family was going to buy land to grow rubber. He helped Song Ailing complete the land transfer procedures as quickly as possible.

Wu Manli later learned that Song Ailing had wooed some small rubber planters in Southeast Asia, recruited rubber managers from Sinar Mas, and formed a medium-sized rubber planting company with extremely high efficiency.

Chapter 174

After Song Meiling resigned from the government, the relationship between the two sisters eased a lot.

On this day, the eldest sister told Soong Ching Ling that her brother-in-law wanted to discuss something with her.

"Isn't my brother-in-law busy building a petrochemical plant? Why come to me when I have time?"

Soong Ching Ling asked Song Ailing suspiciously. When the sisters met, it was nothing to say confidant. Soong Ching Ling and her eldest brother-in-law had no business dealings, so they had to secretly wonder.

"Isn't it because of the oil company?" Song Ailing did not hide it, and said directly, "Meihua Petroleum Company is also building a refinery. Nanhua's crude oil must be supplied to Meihua Petroleum Company first. I am afraid that the Wuhan refinery will be built. But crude oil, don’t you have to be prepared for this? You have a relationship with the Soviets, and your brother-in-law wants to contact the Soviets through you. What is their attitude?"

"It turned out to be like this! Okay!" Song Qingling agreed.

This is a small effort and is beneficial to both parties.Even if she didn't interfere, Kong Xiangxi could find the Soviets to cooperate.

"Then thank you second sister! I will tell your brother-in-law to go."

Song Ailing left happily.

Kong Xiangxi felt very happy when he heard the news.

Soon I got in touch with the Soviets.

The Soviet Union Petroleum Trust Company responsible for selling oil in the Far East is called United Petroleum Trust Company. In order to facilitate its operations, United Petroleum Trust Company was registered in a third neutral country. Before Kong Xiangxi approached the door, the head of this company in China was having a headache for Meihua Petroleum Company. Lower prices.

The Soviets were overjoyed to learn that the China National Petroleum Corporation was going to cooperate to import crude oil from the Baku oil field, and they finally did not have to accept the single offer from the US-China Petroleum Corporation.

Under the fierce competition of the four oil sisters of Mobil Mehua Asia West, the Soviet Union’s sales of "foreign oil" to China have not been smooth, and many times they had to sell it to the local snake like MCC at low prices.

The Soviets are also willing to do the same. After all, the US and China purchase a large amount of oil, and they can provide the foreign exchange that the Soviet Union badly needs.

Through the US-China Petroleum Corporation, the Soviet Union can buy some substances that are not easily available on the international market, such as sulfa drugs, machine tools, and even arms.

The Soviets did not know the relationship between the US-China National Petroleum Corporation and China National Petroleum Corporation, but one more buyer is good news.

The two sides almost hit it off.

Kong Xiangxi already knew the inside story of the transaction between Petroleum Union Trust Company and Meihua Oil Company, so the price he offered was only a little higher than the price offered by Meihua Oil Company.

In addition to the proactive supply of crude oil, Kong Xiangxi is more concerned about the fact that he can directly buy Soviet refined oil and petroleum products, and sell them directly on the sales network of the National Petroleum Corporation. The effect of this transaction is immediate and it will soon make money. .

At the same time, on the grounds of high financial pressure, Kong Xiangxi adjourned the payment to the Soviets, and obtained a lot of benefits from it.

Among them, I have to mention that in addition to running the national oil company, Kong Xiangxi also runs an oil sales company called Guanghua Petroleum. Whether it is cooperating with the Soviets or the United States and China Petroleum, Guanghua Petroleum makes a lot of money originally belonging to the National Petroleum Corporation. The company's money is quite influential in the domestic oil sales market.

This is probably one of the reasons why Situ Nan and Song Ziwen have a grudge against Kong Xiangxi. After all, that guy is too oily, one inside and one outside, inside and outside cooperate, playing so beautifully.

Once the National Petroleum Corporation acquires Guanghua Petroleum Company, with Kong Xiangxi's character, it will inevitably be carried out in the form of a share exchange. The shares of Guanghua Petroleum Company he secretly holds will be converted into shares of National Petroleum Corporation.

Before the merger, the bigger Guanghua Petroleum Company developed and at least the bigger the data, the more shares he would hold in the national oil company.

Even if Song Meiling and Wu Manli told Kong Xiangxi clearly, Situ Nan didn't decide to sell Occidental Petroleum's business in China to the National Petroleum Corporation. He had to fight Kong Xiangxi.

For several days, and several days later, without receiving a reply from Situ Nan, Kong Xiangxi was a little worried.

Wu Manli and Song Meiling sent telegrams to Situ Nan, and both of them were confident that they would succeed, and still did not dispel Kong Xiangxi's worries.

For the Wuhan Petrochemical Industrial Zone project, Meihua Petroleum Company also agreed to provide funding and technology, but the implementation process was not very active. Instead, they gave priority to their refining projects in Guangzhou and Shanghai.

The attitude of Meihua Petroleum Company is not positive, and the supporting Yangzi Machinery Company is also not active. The oil refining equipment produced by Yangzi Machinery Company is first considered to be supplied to Meihua Petroleum Company, and Kong Xiangxi is temporarily ignored.

Kong Xiangxi was overwhelmed for a while. Fortunately, Song Ziwen and Lin Yimin supported him. Under Lin Yimin's promotion, the Ministry of Finance organized a group of large domestic banks such as the Bank of America, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and other large domestic banks to provide loans for the Wuhan petrochemical industry project.

The Wuhan government dispatched a construction corps of 10,000 people into the construction site with extremely high efficiency, covering several engineering teams such as the leveling of the port, wharf, railway, highway, and factory area. The infrastructure projects of the petrochemical industrial zone are in full swing, which greatly encouraged Kong Xiangxi. The pain caused by the suspension of the acquisition of Occidental Petroleum in China can be temporarily forgotten.

"Such a large investment of money is estimated to increase Wuhan's GDP this year by eighteen percent. Recently, the building materials in Wuhan have risen a lot. Labor costs have also risen, but soon a large number of disaster victims from the north have been affected. Organized, the wages in Wuhan have fallen, but it is not easy to rise.

Once the two phases of the project are completed, it is equivalent to rebuilding a Wuhan Iron and Steel Company!"

Song Ziwen is optimistic about Lin Yimin and the prospects of the petrochemical industrial zone.Although Song Ziwen's influence in the military is relatively weak, he has a high reputation in the civil service system of the Wuhan government within the Zhi Gong Party.

Especially in Wuhan, he is known as the creator of the miracle, revitalizing the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, establishing the Wuhan Industrial Group with the Wuhan Iron and Steel Plant as the core, building the Yangtze River Bridge, building a railway network with Wuhan as the core hub, and building hydropower plants. The achievements of the government will eclipse other competitors in the party.

"So, after laying the foundation in the fields of steel, railway machinery and shipbuilding, petrochemical and chemical industries have become the last piece of the puzzle in your industrial construction grand slam. In the era of big industry, do you have a sense of urgency to wait for you?"

Lin Yimin teased Song Ziwen Dao.

"Of course I can't wait. My goal is the industrial grand slam. This kind of life experience is not something that every politician can encounter. I am one of the very few lucky ones. I dare not say that the name will last forever, but a hundred years later, this The city has left my mark of Song Ziwen."

Song Ziwen proudly said, "Of course, success is not my personal contribution. I am grateful to all the comrades in the party for their hard work. I won't say anything like that. You and Situ Nan are the most beneficial support behind me.

I still know in my heart how much effort we have put in to make this Oriental Chicago worthy of its name!Not inferior to Chicago!

Although you two don't like to be famous, sooner or later, there will be a rich and colorful chapter in my memoir."

Lin Yimin smiled faintly: "Even without your memoirs, I can't escape. You and I are all people who want to write history books, but are we builders or predators? Time will tell! Let's see!"

Song Ziwen nodded. Lin Yimin was right. He was a family of officials and businessmen.

Based on the experience of Europe and the United States, there will certainly be similar dung-cutting movements in the future, which will bring Song Ziwen and Song family members from history to "research".

With the efficiency of the Construction Corps, the infrastructure project will not be delayed for too long. It will only take two or three months. The output of Jianghan Oilfield will follow. The first phase of the refining project in the petrochemical industrial zone will also be put into production after a year and a half. This is a problem. It is necessary to rectify the oil company's sales network in advance.

"It's been more than a month. My eldest sister reminded me several times. Is there any conclusion about Kong Lao Er? Isn't Situ Nan trying to sort out the overlap of Occidental Petroleum and American Petroleum Corporation's business in China? Just one sentence If it is not sold to the National Petroleum Corporation, it is also possible to sell it to the US-China Petroleum Corporation."

Song Ziwen asked Lin Yimin if he had any news?

"You ask me who am I asking?" Lin Yimin gave Song Ziwen a blank look, saying, "Don't you know that your brother-in-law's hands and feet are not clean, and the U.S. side is reluctant to leave things in his hands and deliberately embarrass him?"

"However, it is time to give your eldest brother-in-law a reassurance, lest he be suspicious, the more you drag down, the lower the efficiency."

Lin Yimin said again.
