After seeing off the two main leaders of Songzhou City, Du Chongshan walked slowly and walked to the window with a deep brow.

He knew that Songzhou had spent a lot of effort on this project and specially appointed a deputy mayor to station in Beijing for a long time in order to win the project.

To be honest, he had no great hope for Songzhou to win the 800,000-ton ethylene project. He had dealt a lot with those people in China during his tenure as the secretary of the municipal party committee in Landao. He knew the virtues of those people too well, and they were all characters who did not show off their own hats. They had too much appetite for both public and private. The reason why the Blue Island refining project delayed for more than ten years was that there were certainly objective factors during this period, but it was also closely related to the style of those people in China.

Qin Baohua mentioned that in June, Sinopec and Shandong Province, Landao City had reached an agreement to build the Sinopec Blue Island Refining Project, which was officially approved and is expected to start construction soon. He also knew about this. After all, he also came from Landao. He had a lot of connections there, so he naturally had channels to understand the inside story.

Sinopec and Blue Island have also worked hard on this project, but Du Chongshan knew that there were many tricks here, involving many stakeholders, which is not worthy of being told by outsiders.

Now Songzhou is going to cooperate with Sinopec on the 800,000-ton ethylene project. With his understanding of Sinopec, especially the current senior executive of Sinopec, he knows that if he wants to handle this project, there will be no less tricks.

He didn't know whether Lu Weimin and Qin Baohua knew the joints and inside stories here.

But he also knew that this project is very important to Songzhou. The investment of over 10 billion yuan is enough to imagine how much Songzhou's economic pull is. Moreover, the ethylene project itself is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The downstream industrial chain is also quite long. It can be said that such a project settled in Songzhou will have a great supportive role in Songzhou's proposal to build a core city at the junction of Chang, Hubei and Anhui and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

From the perspective of the province, of course I am happy to see such a project that can be settled in Songzhou, but this project is likely to bring some risks in the process of settling in Songzhou. This risk is targeted at Songzhou, especially relevant leaders in Songzhou.

Du Chongshan didn't know whether Lu Weimin and Qin Baohua realized this.

Lan Island is not the leader of him now, so he naturally doesn't need to worry too much, but some old subordinates of the past also mentioned some things to him in a subtle and tactful manner, and he pretended to be unaware of it. He was unwilling to participate in this matter that had no much to do with him.

He firmly believed that the net of heaven was vast and unobstructed. If those guys really wanted to commit suicide, they would naturally die.

The question is what to do with Songzhou? The prospects of this project are so impressive, and it is like a black hole that may devour countless people.

Once this project is really working, it is very likely to involve Songzhou. Du Chongshan is unwilling to see Lu Weimin and Qin Baohua be involved, but for a moment he cannot find a suitable way to remind each other.

However, he believed in Lu Weimin's wisdom and connections. Lu Weimin should have some understanding of Sinopec's background. He should also predict that if Songzhou wants to cooperate with Sinopec on this major project, it will inevitably involve many open and secret interests, and many things cannot be taken on the surface, and may even hide countless risks.

For Lu Weimin and others, they might have just wanted to make a step forward for the economic development of Songzhou, but they might be involved in unlimited risks, which may bring great danger to Lu Weimin's future career.

Audi is running at a constant speed on the Changsong Highway. The atmosphere on the car is not very good.

"Secretary Lu, what do you mean by Governor Du? I think he has supported several projects in Songzhou before, such as Songkun Expressway. Why do I always feel that his attitude is a bit indescribable in this project?" Qin Baohua couldn't help it and said in a deep voice.

Lu Weimin couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, he had figured out some contradictory attitudes from Du Chongshan.

Du Chongshan is a cadre from Shandong Province. And after years of dealing with Sinopec, he must have some understanding of Sinopec's style. Lu Weimin estimated that Du Chongshan was worried that if Songzhou cooperated with Sinopec on the 800,000-ton ethylene project, he would be involved in some concerns that he did not want to see.

Lu Weimin, who has memories of his previous life, certainly knows the risks here. But can you avoid them? There is no possibility of anyone else working for this project except Sinopec, so no matter how big the risks are, it is enough. Now we are considering how to avoid risks to the greatest extent.

Qin Baohua had never dealt with units such as Sinopec before, and of course he didn't know the details of the people of Sinopec now, and some things were not easy to explain, so Qin Baohua was a little dissatisfied with Du Chongshan's attitude.

"Baohua, you will understand some things slowly. Maybe Governor Du is worried about us." Lu Weimin said slowly: "He has good intentions, I can understand them, but this project is indispensable for our Songzhou. Even if it is a dragon's and tiger's den, we have to make a breakthrough."

"Good intention?" Qin Baohua didn't understand for a moment, so he blinked and looked at Lu Weimin, "Dragon Pond and Tiger's Lair? Secretary Lu, I don't understand. Do you think there are any risks hidden here? Whether it is environmental impact assessment or land occupation, we will follow the formal procedures. We will report to which level we should report to which level...

Lu Weimin shook his head, "It's not in this regard. Well, when you see Chi Feng, let Chi Feng report to you well. Some things are not allowed to be on the table."

Seeing that Lu Weimin's facial expression was a little bitter, Qin Baohua realized a little after a moment of turning his mind. Although she had never dealt with giants like Sinopec, she was not ignorant of dirty things, and had seen some of them. She just felt that Sinopec had not thought of so many of them.

"Before Governor Du came to our Changjiang River, he served as the secretary of the municipal party committee in Landao. Hehe, he had a lot of dealing with Sinopec for that big refining project. What do you think his concerns are due to?" Lu Weimin said meaningfully: "It's not that he is unwilling to support us, but he is a little worried that we are too immature and have been tricked by others."

Qin Baohua then came back to the point that Du Chongshan is a master who deals with Sinopec. It is obvious that he has some insights and is so entangled. Could it be that the Blue Island Oil Refining Project has many tricks?

"Secretary Lu, then you have been mentally prepared for Chi Feng to do this?"

"Can you not prepare? I have an acquaintance in Beijing, and I reminded me that the matters on Sinopec are difficult to handle. They are too autonomous, and even the Development and Reform Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission are rarely concerned about specific business, so we have to go into the water and work hard." Lu Weimin didn't hide anything, "Of course, the acquaintance also said that this may not be a bad thing for Songzhou, because if we follow the above opinions completely, Songzhou would probably not have much hope. We should compete with Wuhan and Songzhou would be better.

There is not much chance of winning. Politics determines that Songzhou will never be compared with Wuhan. But for Sinopec, their strong autonomy means that if they identify Songzhou, they may ignore the opinions of the NDRC. Of course, we also need to do some work in the State Council and the NDRC, but overall, we have the initiative and the possibility will be much greater. Therefore, even if there is something dirty about Sinopec, we have to deal with it."

Lu Weimin's words were very subtle and obscure, but Qin Baohua also understood it, frowned, and lowered his voice, "Are you planning to take some methods to resolve these possible risks? What is the more appropriate method?"

"Business method." Lu Weimin said lightly: "Solve these problems through the commercial operation of the market economy."

Qin Baohua immediately understood that the so-called business method is to put aside the risk of transferring interests of government departments, but to pass on all risks to the other party and related companies. Some more complex operations are needed here, but as long as you are upright and act, you can avoid risks to the greatest extent possible.

In fact, Lu Weimin also adhered to this strategy in the Hantou Airport project, which can indeed avoid risks to the greatest extent. However, the Hantou Airport project is comparable to Sinopec's 800,000-ton ethylene project, which is incomparable. For projects worth tens of billions of dollars, the other party's appetite will definitely not be small. No matter what method Songzhou uses, it will inevitably involve it, so some risks are inevitable.

Seeing that Qin Baohua's face was a little heavy, Lu Weimin comforted the other party: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Doing things will inevitably have troubles. But this project is very important to our Songzhou. To put it bluntly, this may determine whether our Songzhou is a city with a population of three million or five million. Of course, this is just one of the pillars. I hope that our municipal party committee and government can lay a few more powerful pillars for our Songzhou city to a metropolis with a population of five million."
