Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In the conference room of Huanghai Petrochemical, members of the board of directors gathered together.

Song Jinlong looked at the notepad in his hand and said, "The situation is like this. Huafu Gas obtained the technology of the American Enron Company, and the technical level of the plan they proposed not only surpassed ours, but was also the best in the country, so we finally Didn’t win this project.”

"I see. I asked myself, how can a natural gas distributor like Huafu Gas beat us? It turns out they hired foreign aid!"

"And this is not just an ordinary foreign aid. Enron of the United States should be the largest in the world in terms of natural gas projects, right? Their technology is also the best in the world. We did not lose unjustly!"

"Yes, losing to Enron cannot be regarded as our mistake. It is really a crime other than war. I think if it were other domestic companies, they would definitely lose against Enron!"

Everyone spoke one after another, undoubtedly looking for a reasonable excuse for throwing away such an important project, so that they would not have to worry about being held accountable.

It’s not that I don’t work hard, it’s just that my opponent is too strong, and failure is a non-fighting crime!

After everyone had finished making excuses, Song Jinlong continued: "After the bidding results were announced, Li Weidong, the chairman of the Puppy Group, came to see me.

Said that he has a way to help us get this project back, provided that New Oriental Motor Factory is sold to him. "

"Li Weidong is also a well-known big entrepreneur in China.

We have also cooperated with Huanghai Petrochemical for many years.

What you say should be reliable,

Come to think of it, I won't be lying. "Someone said immediately.

Another person said: "New Oriental Motor Factory was originally just a workshop of our Huanghai Petrochemical Company, but later it became independent and became a specialized factory.

It is not an important core industry for us. . If we can use New Oriental Motor, it will definitely be worth it in exchange for this project. "

"Song Dong,

Did Li Weidong reveal what method he would use to help us get this project? After all, this is a key national project. Now that the bidding has ended, it is almost impossible to change the results. "The man next to me asked.

Song Jinlong let out a long sigh,

He opened his mouth and replied: "Li Weidong said,

The reason why Huafu Gas can beat us is:

Mainly because of the technology of the American company Enron,

As long as Enron collapses and Huafu Gas loses its technology,

That will inevitably give up the project,

At that time, the project will be back in our hands. "

"Can you think of the collapse of Enron? This is really a logic genius!" Everyone suddenly showed various expressions.

Song Jinlong continued: "Li Weidong said that he would find a way to shut down Enron Petrochemical and help us get the project back. When the time comes, I hope we can keep our promise and sell New Oriental Electric to him."

"Shut down Enron?"

This time, everyone looked disdainful and incredulous.

And you have more elements of disdain.

The person closest to Song Jinlong thought to himself, "Would you like to give Director Song a box of peanuts?"

Then the man secretly took a breath,

After smelling the smell of alcohol on Song Jinlong's body, he probably felt that Song Jinlong had drunk too much and was still drunk, so he brought such an issue to the board of directors for discussion.

If you give me a box of peanuts to go with the wine, you won't get so drunk!

The person who just said that Li Weidong was reliable had an embarrassed expression. He had just finished saying that Li Weidong was reliable, but he didn't expect that Li Weidong started telling fairy tales!

Finally, one person couldn't help but said: "Does Li Weidong know what kind of company Enron is? He wants to shut down Enron? It's a good thing that there is no bragging project in the Olympics.

Otherwise, our Chinese team will definitely win one more gold medal! "

"yes,

This bragging is too exaggerated. That's Enron! Not to mention Li Weidong alone, even a hundred Li Weidong bundled together would not be as rich as An Ran! "

"Li Weidong has made a lot of money over the years. It seems that people become arrogant as soon as they have money. This is true. He is still too young. Young people are prone to inflation!"

After all, Song Jinlong is the leader. We can't say that Song Jinlong is unreliable, we can only condemn Li Weidong.

Song Jinlong also understood this, so he said: "I also think Li Weidong is talking nonsense, but I still agreed and let Li Weidong give it a try.

Everyone, I didn’t drink too much. The reason why I agreed to Li Weidong was because I thought that if Li Weidong really succeeded in bringing Enron to bankruptcy, we would be able to get the project by then.

And if Li Weidong is bragging, at most we just heard a joke and there is no loss. Anyway, this project is not ours in the first place. "

"Director Song, having said that, this matter is too unreliable! Li Weidong made such an unreliable promise, and we also promised him, why are we acting like children playing house? If word spreads, maybe You will be laughed at by your peers," the eldest director said.

"I also know that it won't sound good if it is spread out, so I hope you will keep this matter secret for the sake of Huanghai Petrochemical's face." Song Jinlong paused.

Then he said: "And what if Li Weidong really succeeds?"

"What if? There are so many what-ifs! I have been working for more than 40 years, and I have never encountered any one-case scenarios!" The elderly director looked like he was relying on his old age.

Song Jinlong sighed lightly, and then said: "Old Du,

I have been working for more than 30 years and have only encountered accidents twice. One was to Japan to buy plastic processing equipment, and the other was to the United States to buy ethylene production equipment. But both times, it was Li Weidong who negotiated it! So I really have to believe a little bit about Li Weidong! "

After the conference room ended, Lao Du couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the two deals that Director Song said that Li Weidong negotiated?"

Someone next to me immediately explained: "Mr. Du, you came here after Huanghai Petrochemical was changed into a group. You don't know what happened back then. At that time, we at Huanghai Petrochemical needed to purchase a batch of plastic processing equipment, which were actually blow molding machines, injection molding machines, etc." machine and the like.

But at that time, our country did not know how to manufacture these products, so we could only import them. We contacted a Japanese company and planned to purchase equipment, but the Japanese quoted a price of US$100 million.

Those were the years when the country's foreign exchange was most tense, and we simply did not apply for so much foreign exchange. And the Japanese offer is really a big deal. But we can’t build these devices ourselves, so we can only let people exploit them.

For this batch of equipment, Director Song personally led a team to Japan to negotiate with the other party. After talking for a long time, the Japanese were only willing to get a discount of one to two million US dollars.

On that trip to Japan, there were people from the Provincial Department of Foreign Trade. Li Weidong was with the people from the Department of Foreign Trade. Then when we couldn't negotiate, he took the initiative to help us negotiate with the Japanese. "

"Has the negotiation concluded with Li Weidong?" Lao Du immediately asked.

"After the negotiation, the Japanese gave us a big discount. Li Weidong helped us save 45 million!" the other party replied.

"Is it RMB or Japanese yen?" After Lao Du asked this question, he immediately replied: "It should be RMB. Forty-five million yen is not much. Forty-five million yuan is equivalent to It’s 5.5 million US dollars, which is another half discount, which is quite a lot.”

"It's 45 million US dollars!" the man replied immediately.

"What? U.S. dollars? How can he cut off 45 million for something worth 100 million? This is close to half the price! The bargaining in China is not so fierce, right! I'm going to the vegetable market, if I dare to bargain like this , the vegetable seller can just kill me! How could the Japanese agree?" Lao Du said in surprise.

"In fact, the Japanese really agreed and signed the contract quickly. We paid and they shipped the goods." The other party said.

"What about the ethylene equipment?" Lao Du then asked.

"It's our large 400,000-ton ethylene project. It was purchased from Mobil at the time, but Mobil didn't actually want to sell the equipment to us. They had better customers, they were Saudis, and they were willing to pay more. Mobil The reason for hosting us is to introduce a competitor so that the Saudis can increase their prices!" the other party explained.

"The Saudis are extremely rich. How can we be better than the Saudis when it comes to comparing banknotes? How was that project built?" Lao Du then asked.

"It was also Li Weidong who went to negotiate. After Li Weidong talked with the top management of Mobil Company, Mobil Company immediately changed its attitude. Not only was it willing to sell equipment, but it also rushed to sign a contract with us, and finally gave us some discounts!" the other party explained.

An incredible expression appeared on Lao Du's face: "What method did this Li Weidong use to even deal with Mobil?"

"Who knows! Anyway, this Li Weidong is not ordinary." The man continued: "If others say that Enron will be closed down, it is absolutely impossible. But Li Weidong's words may really be so true. One possibility!”

Gu Chu, United States, New York City, the famous financial reporter Bethany McClain walked into a coffee shop, and then she immediately saw a man wearing a hat and glasses sitting in the corner.

"Wearing a hat and sunglasses, I don't want others to see his appearance clearly. That should be him!"

Bethany McClain immediately stepped forward and touched her pocket with her right hand. There was an envelope containing $200, which she planned to pay as an informant.

Not long ago, someone called Bethany McClain with a news tip.

Bethany McLean came to her appointment without hesitation. For reporters, revelations from so-called insiders are a very important source of information. Maybe a revelation can make a big news, so reporters often do not miss this opportunity.

The United States is a society that values ​​money. If you want to get information about the other party, you often need to prepare some informant fees. So Bethany McLean prepared 200 US dollars in advance. This money can already buy some financial insider information that is not outdated.

Bethany McClain walked to the table of the man in sunglasses and sat down, then said, "Hello, I'm Bethany McClain. Are you looking for me?"

"Ms. McClain, are you investigating Enron's profits?" the man in sunglasses asked.

"Do you have any information about this?" Bethany McClain said, subconsciously touching her pocket.

If the other party provides some important information, the informant fee of 200 US dollars is really not enough, and Bethenny McClain may have to withdraw some more money from a nearby ATM.

The man in sunglasses took out a thick envelope from his arms and pushed it in front of Bethany McClain.

When Bethany McClain saw the thickness of the envelope, she thought to herself that there was a lot of information. It seemed that the informant fee of US$200 was definitely not enough.

"Let's see if this is important information first." Thinking of this, Bethany McClain opened the envelope.

However, there was no so-called breaking news inside, but a stack of US dollars!

Bethany McClain understood instantly, and she said: "Are you sent by Enron? Doesn't Enron want me to continue investigating? So it wants to pay me hush money? It seems that there is really a problem with Enron's profitability. ! Do you know that your behavior is commercial bribery?”

After several questions in a row, the man in sunglasses opposite did not panic at all. He said: "Ms. McClain, don't get me wrong, I am not from Enron. What I give you is not hush money, but money!" "

Bethenny McClain was slightly stunned, and the man in sunglasses continued to explain: "Ms. McClain, my boss knows that you are investigating Enron. But for such a big company, Enron wants to find out from the financial reports and data they released. The problem still requires professional accountants to conduct audits.

It costs a lot of money to hire an accountant, and it also costs money to collect relevant data. So my boss is willing to give you $20,000 to help you complete this news report on Enron's profitability issues! "

"Twenty thousand dollars!" Bethany McLean realized that she had met a wealthy boss Li, and she immediately asked: "Who is your boss? Why are you doing what?"

"Enron has many competitors, so it doesn't matter who my boss is. What's important is that we have the same goal and want to know the truth about Enron."

The man in sunglasses smiled slightly, then waved to call the waiter, and put a few dollars in the waiter's hand as coffee money and tip, then stood up and continued:

"Ms. Bethany McClain, I look forward to seeing your report soon!"

Bethany McClain became famous for her coverage of Enron. In the future, she will become a Wall Street analyst and often write articles for some magazines. Among the more famous ones are several analyzes that badmouthed Tesla.

The $20,000 fee was sent by Li Weidong to speed up Bethany McLean's investigation of Enron.

At the same time, Li Weidong also approached Academician Situ Jian with the article he had written.

"Academician Situ, you have been in good health recently!" Li Weidong said, placing the gifts he brought on the ground.

"Weidong, you are a rare guest! Sit down quickly!" Academician Situ invited Li Weidong to the sofa.

Li Weidong took a peek and found several round marks on the back of Situ Jian's neck, so he asked: "Academician Situ, are you using the Five Elements Needle?"

"Yes, I usually read for a long time and my neck hurts, so I should do some acupuncture for health care!" Situ Jian replied.

"Academician Situ, you'd better stop using it. This Five Elements Acupuncture actually has no effect. It's basically just a trick!" Li Weidong said.

"Isn't it? I see that in the past few years, it was overwhelming! And my lifting is quite effective." Situ Jian said.

Li Weidong smiled sheepishly: "Academician Situ, the effect you feel is most likely a psychological effect. I was the first to create this thing. In recent years, there have been more counterfeits. I also feel that this It’s a lie, so I won’t do it anymore. Do you think I’m a doctor who knows acupuncture?”

"Uh..." Academician Situ was also a little embarrassed. As an academician of his age, he was deceived by health care products and was exposed by the victim. It was a bit embarrassing.

"Then you have to refund me the money!" Situ Jian chuckled and eased his embarrassment, and then he asked: "Weidong, you must have gone to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Tell me, what do you want to do with me? "

"Academician Situ, are you involved in the West-East Gas Transmission Project?" Li Weidong asked.

Situ Jian nodded and replied: "I am involved in it. I am mainly doing research on the impact on the national economy after the completion of the West-East Gas Transmission Project, which mainly involves the overall economy and regional economy. What, you think this project is inappropriate?”

Li Weidong immediately shook his head: "This is a project that benefits the country and the people. It is an important strategic layout of the country. How could it be inappropriate? It's just that I found something wrong with the construction of the project.

As far as I know, part of the project was undertaken by Huafu Gas. Huafu Gas had no technology or experience in natural gas transmission pipeline construction before. They obtained technology from the American Enron Company and were able to successfully bid. "

"Enron is the world's top company in natural gas, right? Is there anything wrong with being able to introduce advanced foreign technology?" Situ Jian asked.

"Of course there is no problem in introducing technology. The problem is Enron! Enron has major hidden dangers. If Enron is introduced, it may affect the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline Plant!"

As Li Weidong spoke, he handed a document to Situ Jian and said, "Academician Situ, look, this is the relevant material I wrote. It details the current hidden dangers and risks of Enron."

Situ Jian opened the material, read it quickly once, then carefully read it a second time, and then read it sentence by sentence a third time, and his expression became solemn.

What Li Weidong said in the materials is very reasonable. According to Li Weidong's report, Enron is really in danger.

Then Situ Jian raised his head and asked seriously: "Weidong, if these hidden dangers and risks you mentioned occur, what will happen to Enron?"

"It will go bankrupt!" Li Weidong said decisively.

Situ Jian suddenly took a breath of air.

If a company as large and important as Enron were to go bankrupt, it would undoubtedly detonate a nuclear bomb for the economic world!
