Chapter 248: Dahua Integration

When Sucheng returned to the company, he did not immediately discuss the methanol factory or Haicang plan, but announced the convening of a board of directors to discuss the group's relocation.

When the heads of various companies under the group heard about it, they rushed over. After three years of development, Dahua Industrial has many companies, as well as foreign joint ventures, but their office conditions are getting worse and worse. The early Jinan Power Machine Factory still had office buildings that were decades ago to rely on. The subsequent companies either rented them or stayed in the Jinan Power Machine Factory, and they were uncomfortable living.

Even Sucheng's own chairman's office is located on the territory of Jinan Power Machinery Factory. The current conference room is no exception.

I waited for a day. The next afternoon, domestic managers arrived, while foreign companies transferred from the phone to listen to intermittent broadcasts.

Six large companies and senior executives from the group headquarters gathered together, and even filled a room. Looking at the dark heads, Su Cheng felt a little dizzy in an instant. People say that in the late 1980s, Chinese companies expanded rapidly in the early 1990s. In 1987, Sun God Group started its business for 50,000 yuan, and sold health products for 1.3 billion yuan in 1993; Jianlibao, who was in 1984, made a big splash that year, went to the United States to buy a floor of the Empire State Building in 1991... Now it seems that such a thing has finally come to his head.

The long tables in the conference room are still made up of office desks, with no curvature, and a rigid rectangle is placed in the center of the conference room. The surface is covered with red velvet cloth and two bunches of plastic flowers, which looks a bit classy.

Sucheng sat at the first position opposite the door. On the left is Chen Zunian, the director of Ji*nan Power Machinery Factory. His lower head is Golang Xu Lichen, the head of the marine transportation company. Opposite the two are Li Huanxiang, the director of Dahua Laboratory, and the lower head is Silang Xu Haoqiang, the new head of Dahua Gas Company. They are added with Setan Oil and Gas Field Company. A total of five companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dahua Industrial Group and are also 100% owned by Sucheng.

Due to the importance and particularity of the Setan Oilfield, Sucheng personally took action on the one hand, and on the other hand, he poached Eli, a professional manager of the Mainland Oil Company of the United States, as the general manager of the Setan Oilfield. His work was heavy and he could not return to China on time, so he listened to the report by telephone.

From Goro and Silang to Dahua Ship Industry, they are Yan Xuecan, contact persons of Dahua Ship Industry, and Liu Pinshan and Shu Hao of Debang Water Heater Company.

Dahua Ship is a joint venture with 50% shares with Halliburton, and it also has German Fernor and Netherlands Newco, which Halliburton helped acquire. In addition to retaining the design capabilities of offshore drilling platforms, Dahua Ship also has a series of patents for power positioning, anti-leakage systems, and fire protection systems. It can be regarded as the most cost-effective golden egg hatched by Dahua Laboratory since it borrowed chickens to lay eggs. Researchers who research drilling platforms and other related technologies are all from domestic colleges and universities, as well as various research institutes and research institutes under CNPC. Even now, in addition to the researchers from two foreign companies, there are very few researchers who belong to it. Although there is no "compilation", Dahua Ship has made a lot of drilling platforms with COSCO Ship.

In the consideration of Sucheng, Dahua Shipping is a transitional company. In the future, it either sells its shares to Chinese companies such as COSCO Shipping, or re-acquires the shares in Haliburton for privatization. All this depends on its own development. Offshore engineering equipment is a company that is highly professional and attaches great importance to accumulation. Even if a national battle was held, Dahua Shipping only after it swallowed up Fernor Shipping and Newco, and recruited hundreds of Halliburton's employees, and had the ability to design offshore drilling platforms and manufacture some key equipment. Sucheng estimated that it would be difficult for Dahua Shipping to directly obtain profits in less than three to five years, ten to eight years.

Compared with the above companies, Debang Water Heater Company has a much weaker dependence. It is not a member of Dahua Industrial Group, and Sucheng only owns 30% of Debang's shares and does not participate in the operation. It is only because of Shu Hao and Sucheng's relationship and the possible industry status of the newly added Dahua Gas Company in the future that Liu Pinshan attended the meeting. Under Debang Water Heater Company, there is a Sichuan Changzheng Factory that makes fans and air conditioners. Its factory director was not invited at all.

The heads of seven companies are further down, including Gu Haijian, the Ocean Petroleum Research Institute affiliated to Dahua Laboratory, Yao Zefan, the Third Oil Production Institute of Dahua Laboratory, Li Lin, the Group's Public Relations Department, Zhong Zhigen and Zhang Chao of the Strategic Public Relations Department, and Xu Feng, the fourth financial assistant of Sucheng.

This is a typical Chinese-style group enterprise structure. Three of the seven companies are in charge of Sucheng's family members. Although the headquarters finance department is managed by a dedicated person, you must put relatives in order to be at ease.

In fact, this is also a must-pass way for Chinese companies. The Chinese Criminal Law was only revised and abolished the "crime of speculation and counter-counter" in 1997, and the "Interim Regulations on Administrative Penalty for Speculation and counter-counter-counter" was only revised and abolished in 2008. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, legal provisions were long been smashed by stones that had already been explored, and the extravagant institutional guarantees were far less reliable than those of the family.

Even if there are unreliable family members, the chance of a crisis is much lower.

With the attendees and records, there were more than 20 people sitting in the conference hall. The crowded heads made the room very lively. Add a handful of melon seeds to make the New Year.

After everyone got together, Su Cheng coughed gently and said, "Let's start."

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

"There are two main things today. One is the group's relocation. This matter can be finished in just a few words. Let me say it first." Seeing everyone staring at him seriously, Su Cheng sighed at the Chinese people's desire to buy a property. Thinking about it, why isn't it the same for me?

He smiled and continued: "I have bought three pieces of land in Shang*hai Pudong in my personal name. The Lujiazui plot is the smallest and most core, about 60 or 70 acres, used to build a headquarters building for the group and Setan Oil and Gas Field Company. There are 2,300 acres of land on the Huangpu River to build office buildings and experimental buildings for use by Dahua Laboratory. The power plant, marine transportation company and Dahua Shipping Industry will not relocate, and Dahua Gas Company continues to flow. Except for some liaison departments staying in the group, you can move wherever the gas pipeline is laid."

Shiro's "Hey" sounded, causing a gentle laugh.

Li Lin was most unavoidable in formal occasions and said with a smile: "Dr. Su, do you say there are 3 plots of land and one of the largest ones?"

"If Haicang's methanol project cannot be determined in the end, then transfer it to Pudong. Otherwise, it will be used for another purpose."

"Why can't you confirm?"

"For example, if the Haicang plan fails, there is a problem whether our methanol project can continue." This is the first time that Sucheng has told the possibility of the Haicang plan failing, and everyone was surprised.

Li Huanxiang widened his eyes in disbelief: "Didn't the country invested 300 million US dollars? Moreover, when you came back, you said that the mechanized engineering corps have all gone up, how can this fail?"

Shilang Xu Haoqiang said in disbelief: "What if this fails? Can't Davine be made?"

Only Zhong Zhigen thoughtfully. He studied parallel engineering in school. After being poached by Sucheng to Dahua Industrial, he still did business management and advanced manufacturing technology, and was well aware of the risks in the Da Petrochemical project.

"A project of $7 billion, any problem may be done." Sucheng did not continue to discuss it. Instead, he said: "This is the second issue I want to talk about. The company must integrate resources and practice internal skills to resist external changes. Therefore, the group will shrink investment, reduce expenditures, and maintain sufficient cash."

In one sentence, everyone was brought back. Integrating resources is related to everyone's personal interests, so how can you not be careful?

Su Cheng said seriously with a tense face: "First of all, we must integrate the R&D department of Ji*nan Power Machinery Factory into Dahua Laboratory to establish a diesel engine research institute. The power machine factory only retains one technical department. As before, to reduce repeated investment."

Chen Zunian shouted: "Yes."

Su Cheng had long communicated with him. As the first wholly-owned subsidiary of Dahua Industrial, the power machine factory has a special status and once coexisted with the group company. Chen Zunian agreed frankly, which laid the foundation for integration.

"Jinan Power Machinery Factory needs to reduce costs and eliminate waste. The goal this year is to reduce expenditure by 10%. It will increase sales and improve quality, and become the best manufacturing enterprise under Dahua Industrial." Su Cheng said this, and Chen Zunian looked puzzled. For the power machine factory that produced 3,500 large and medium-sized diesel engines in half a year, 10% of the expenditure is very high. Almost half of the profit. This is Jichai, as the only surviving large and medium-sized diesel engine factory in China, has a very good sales situation.

Su Cheng knew the situation. Without explaining it, he pointed to Zhang Chao again: "The Group's Strategy Department will send personnel to help the power plant improve the supply chain, and also carry out in-depth integration of supporting manufacturers to minimize procurement costs and increase yield rates. Next, the marine transportation company..."

Goro raised his head.

Su Cheng took out a document and said: "The maritime transportation company needs to maintain the market share of fishing boat rental, increase the market share of ship sales, and increase the company's profitability. After two years of fishing, fishermen should be able to afford fishing boats, right?"

Goro showed a silly smile like a fisherman and said, "If you make a lot of money, you can get 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. If you make a little money, you can afford a fishing boat together."

Li Lin straightened her chest and said in surprise: "Make 500,000 in two years? I want to fish too."

"Fishers go out to sea for seven or eight days at a time. They don't sleep well and eat well. They have to work at dawn. When they encounter storms, they have to find ways to save themselves. When they are lucky, they have to sell fish and repair boats and nets. The whole body is filled with fishy smell..."

"It's 250,000 yuan a year, and it's fishy. I take a bath every day and spray perfume every day." Li Lin fell into fantasy and couldn't extricate herself.

Su Cheng coughed and said, "Wulang, stretch out his arms to her."

"Oh? Oh." Goro pulled up his sleeves.

I saw my wrists rising, all of them were dark and thick.

Su Cheng said slowly: "Fishers float on the sea all year round, and there is no sunburn, no skin cream or umbrella hat is useless. Also, sea salt falls on the skin and wrinkles when it is sunburn, and it becomes rough as sharks soon..."

"It's okay if I don't go." Li Lin's face turned pale.

The men made all kinds of strange laughter.

After making a fuss, Su Cheng also smiled and said, "Wuro, the sea transportation company can sell small-tonnage fishing boats to fishermen with preferential discounts. Half of the funds recovered will be handed over to the group, and half of them will be purchased for ocean-going fishing boats and will continue to be rented."

The offshore transportation companies have contact with many shipyards. The ships they purchase mostly use the ships from Jinan Power Machinery Factory to transport diesel engines. For the group, the expenditure is not much, but it can drive the sales of upstream diesel engines.

Goro responded and calculated, "If this is the case, we can pay 30 million this year."

Before the mid-1990s, it was a period of harvest for fisheries. With the spread of mechanical nets, China's offshore fishery resources were exhausted, and the income of fishermen gradually decreased. Dahua's maritime transportation companies have the most and most advanced fishing boats, and the only way to fishing has achieved a lot.

No matter how much 30 million yuan is counted, there are also accumulated fixed assets. Su Cheng said with satisfaction: "With Southeast Asian countries there are no restrictions, we should encourage fishermen to fish from the ocean. In addition, have you transported seafood to other countries to sell?"

"I made $500,000 for foreign exchange, mainly Japan." Goro said it a bit like a fishing tycoon.

Dahua Shipping, Dahua Laboratory and Dahua Gas are still investing, and Sucheng has just reiterated its financial discipline and demanded that unnecessary expenses be reduced.

After all these subsidiaries were finished, Liu Pinshan couldn't sit still and laughed twice in self-deprecatingly, saying, "Our Debang Water Heater Company has just acquired the Sichuan Long March Factory. This... is not too cash... If it is..."

Shu Hao didn't want him to break the soup of Debang water heater with a momentary thought, and stopped him and said, "There are only three of Debang's shareholders. The air conditioning production line has been put into production. What are you doing if you leave money without dividends?"

"This... I have to respond to an urgent problem, and continue to expand..." Liu Pinshan has the cunning of a small factory owner and the power of a small official. According to his opinion, it is better to keep the money in the company, and what to do when he is going to pay dividends. However, he has very few shares. Seeing that Shu Hao was going to pay dividends, he quickly changed his words and said: "Debang made a lot last year, but after investing in the Long March Factory, there was only 61 million left. Xiao Shu knew..."

Before Su Cheng could finish his words, he smiled and said, "I didn't invest much money either. I just came up with a few ideas and hired a few technical experts to do design drawings. Let's do this, I'll withdraw the stock..."

"No. People want to scold me for breaking the bridge across the river." Shu Hao glanced at Liu Pinshan fiercely and said, "I will call 30% of the dividend tomorrow. In addition, the air conditioners produced by the Long March are selling well. You have to use money at that time, less than 50 million yuan, just give me a call."

Su Cheng was not shy, and said with a smile, "Okay".

Shu Hao sat upright at this time and glared at Liu Pinshan again.

Liu Pinshan lowered his head aggrievedly, and saw the particularly young Silang and Goro in a blink of an eye. He suddenly realized and wanted to slap himself: He is a family business, why am I involved in it?
