After getting off the plane, Wang Keling enthusiastically invited Su Cheng and others to check in at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. It looked like a Chinese invited an American to go to Capitol Hill, all showing off.

Su Cheng happily let him show off. If it weren't for Formosa Plastics, it would not be easy for him to stay in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. It was completely impossible before the reform and opening up. More than a dozen small buildings were only targeted at foreign heads of state and important guests, such as Khrushchev, Nixon, and Kim Jong-il, who were the serious guests of the Diaoyu State Guesthouse. For example, Kissinger and Powell could only live in the small buildings 5, 6, and 7, and even if Building 18 was empty, they would not be allowed to enter.

After the reform and opening up, Diaoyu Guotai Hotel began to undergo market-oriented transformation, but there were still certain requirements for customers... In Sucheng's view, the so-called requirements are mainly level. Only units at or above the Ministry must send letters of introduction to come in for a meeting. Foreign guests abroad should have a status of the Fortune 500 in the world...

Formosa Plastics is within the scope of the customer base of Diaoyu Guotai Hotel. Therefore, Wang Keling can order a small building for $50,000 a day for Dahua Industrial Group and his group.

After someone took out 50,000 US dollars, Su Cheng took the show off with peace of mind!

There are nearly 20 employees of Dahua Industrial Group, including management teams such as Chen Zunian, Li Lin, Zhong Zhigen, and researchers such as Liu Qiu and Zhan Chunrong. They have heard the term "Diaoyu Guotai Hotel" from the news since they were young. For a long time, "Diaoyu Guotai Hotel" was a political symbol. Now, when everyone comes to this political symbol, their hearts are fluctuating and their emotions are overflowing.

Zhong Zhigen stood in the middle of the living room, looking at the furnishings around him, secretly comparing them with the mansions and palaces he had seen abroad.

Li Lin couldn't wait to visit the conference hall, imagining the meeting with foreign leaders here.

Chen Zunian grabbed the briefcase with the word "Shanghai" written on it for more than ten years. He sat on the sofa first, and then slowly baked it on the back of the sofa, as if trying some kind of hot temperature. After waiting for a few seconds, he slowly crossed his legs, lit a cigarette lighter, and sighed: "I didn't expect that I could live in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse when I was over fifty years old."

"If Jichai can be in the top 100 in China, you can also come here for a meeting."

"real?"

"Really." Su Cheng made a promise casually.

Chen Zunian began to calculate what the world's top 100 is.

Su Cheng placed a row of keys on the coffee table and smiled and said, "Everyone has a room, and you can go to the room wherever you get the key. The VIP bedroom has a large living room and a minibar, and the corresponding small reception room. The ordinary VIP suite also has a small living room and a bathroom. Those who get a large bedroom are lucky. Everyone choose the room and clean it up, and have a meeting in the conference hall on the first floor in a quarter of an hour."

Diaoyu Guotai Hotel is full of villas with dozens of rooms, dedicated to entertaining diplomatic delegations. The staff of Dahua Industrial Group is simply not satisfied with the room.

The young researcher Zhan Chunrong cheered and took the lead in snatching a key. He looked at it and rushed upstairs. He was a new big guy in Dahua Laboratory. Although he was a newly graduated master's student, Su Cheng knew that it would take less than ten years to write a "famous book": "Rock Mechanics of Petroleum Engineering" - another monograph that can kill 99% of college graduates.

In Su Cheng's memory, this book proves the value of Zhan Chunrong. He jumped from a little lecturer who had a little difficulty in applying for an associate professor to a world-class rock engineer. He was eventually hired by an American company for a high salary and worked on the front line of oil production all year round. His main results later were concentrated on drilling work such as rock walls, casings, cement rings, etc. under complex ground stress conditions. Although it sounds a bit sluggish, it is actually very simple. Zhan Chunrong's research results can drill deeper and longer large displacement wells, horizontal wells and other high-difficulty oil wells, which is also a researcher that Dahua urgently needs.

Before the work exploded, even Zhan Chunrong himself was not sure of his value. Dahua Laboratory signed a very long contract with him to add him to the dividend sharing plan. It also provided him with a large number of opportunities for rock mechanics, including rare verified drilling. In other companies or schools, it is impossible to have such good conditions. Dahua Industrial's approach has enabled Zhan Chunrong to quickly enter the Daniu platform and be in a rapid rise channel.

There are as many as 30 such researchers in the Dahua Laboratory. It doesn’t sound like many, but it is actually enough to make any research institution ashamed. Because each of them can lead a separate laboratory. It can be said that it is the biggest reliance of Sucheng. With the management of modern enterprises and relatively abundant funds in China, Dahua can hold meetings in the Diaoyu Guotai Hotel.

In comparison, Formosa Plastics' advantage lies in its scale, and they have always been good at utilizing their scale.

Just last year, Formosa Plastics invested more than NT$20 billion in Taiwan, and raised the island's GDP by itself several percentage points. If the investment of US$7 billion in China is settled in China, it can also raise the GDP of several points in mainland China, generate huge demand in the upstream and downstream, and create greater and larger marginal benefits every year.

Taking advantage of this huge economic influence that can influence politics, Wang Yongqing waved Taiwan and smashed the mainland, and hit the mainland. He lived in the United States and had a lot of fun.

Everyone knows it well, but the more this happens, the higher the reception specifications he gets in the mainland.

As guests, Su Cheng and others were also told that they had to wait for two days before they could meet Wang Yongqing. Before that, there were interviews between the Ministry of Energy and several other units, all about the importance of the Haicang plan.

The implication is to let Dahua not backfire and ruin its relationship with Formosa Plastics.

Sucheng received two families and simply said he was ill. He was too lazy to explain to these bureaucrats the intentions of Formosa Plastics, or in other words, the bureaucrats understood Formosa Plastics' intentions, but they were just unwilling to admit or face them.

Even for senior management, this is a difficult problem. They are reluctant to give up the Haicang plan, but they are unable to implement the Haicang plan.

For Sucheng, who knows history, things are much simpler.

The original old methods are destined to not allow Haicang's plan to be implemented. Since this is the case, we should use some new methods.

It is of course good to implement the Haicang plan, but it is good to implement the Haicang plan that cannot be implemented, so as not to waste a lot of manpower and material resources.

This idea made Su Cheng look quite calm when he saw Wang Yongqing, and formed a sharp contrast with others.

Just a thin old man, what can I worry about? Su Cheng thought so and did the same.

When he met, shook hands and greeted each other, he seemed to face Chen Zunian. Although Chen Zunian was 20 years younger than Wang Yongqing, what was the difference in Su Cheng's view?

Seeing Sucheng sitting down, Wang Keling looked at Sucheng up and down. In the petrochemical industry, most of them saw respectful businessmen. The attitude and behavior of Sucheng were completely different.

China accompanied two main officials. One was Director Mao of the Development and Reform Commission whom he had met, and the other was Mi Lihui, a younger foreign ministry official.

Mi Lihui was energetic and energetic. He was so elite, coughed gently and set the tone and said: "Dr. Su, Senior Wang is our respected patriot. This time, Mr. Wang wanted to listen to your suggestions and ideas for the Haicang plan, unify your thoughts, and develop together."

Listening to his tone, Su Cheng looked at Director Mao.

Director Mao was like a human version of the unlucky bear, rolling his mouth and pretending to be a clay Buddha without saying anything. Su Cheng then made a fool of himself and said in a straightforward manner according to the established strategy: "When it comes to suggestions and ideas for the Haicang plan, I hope to implement it as soon as possible. It is not a small factory, but a large ethylene factory and oil refining project to be implemented quickly. If possible, it will be completed within 24 months. Only in this way can our methanol project not be affected and cause losses."

Big ethylene is much more complicated than big methanol. 24 months is a non-loose number. If it is a domestic battle method, it may be completed, but if the nine-to-five construction workers do this, it will have to start from now on. In other words, Sucheng requires Formosa Plastic to start building big ethylene immediately.

Wang Yongqing's eyelids moved slightly, like a person sleeping with his eyes open.

Wang Keling replied on behalf of the company: "Dr. Su, the Haicang Plan is the plan of Formosa Plastics. Therefore, the Haicang Plan needs to be dominated by Formosa Plastics. We have a series of problems that need to be solved. The specific time point is one of them, so we cannot determine the completion of the Haicang Plan in 24 months. On the contrary, if Dahua can be consistent with Formosa Plastics, it will be of great benefit to the early implementation of the plan."

"What are you waiting for?" Su Cheng tried his best to bring the conversation back to his own channels. This time, Wang Yongqing lived in the United States for a long time and did not return to Taiwan every year. Even Taiwanese politicians such as legislators have to meet him in the United States. With Su Cheng's current identity, perhaps he will not be able to meet Wang Yongqing again until the end of the Haicang plan.

The appearance of this conversation can be seen as an ice-breaking test in the upper layer of the mainland. It was won back by Sucheng through repeated production increases. However, it was just such an opportunity. If it ended in a dull way, or if it was carried out according to Formosa Plastics' ideas, Sucheng would have wasted this opportunity.

Wang Keling was indeed stunned and said, "We are waiting for the negotiation results and the mainland's response."

"If the mainland responds, for example, all the conditions you put forward are passed first, do you promise not to change the conditions?" On such occasions, Sucheng was prepared almost every sentence. After nearly two years of discussion, the mainland did agree all the conditions proposed by Formosa Plastic for the first time, but Wang Yongqing modified the conditions for the purpose of occupying the market or other unclear intentions, requiring the 100% exported ethylene products to be changed to 100% domestic sales. This turned an export-oriented Haicang plan into another version of the market-changing technology. Therefore, the plan was delayed for a year again.

If it weren't for the second delay, the Haicang plan might have been achieved. Sucheng guessed that the shift from the promised 100% export to 100% domestic sales, although it was just a word, should not be an impulsive decision. Because this represents two different strategies.

He turned his attention to Wang Yongqing.

Wang Keling laughed twice without any sense of anything and said relaxedly: "If the requests of both parties are in line with each other..."

At this time, Wang Yongqing stretched out a soft hand to stop Wang Keling from continuing.

Director Mao, who pretended to be a Bodhisattva, couldn't help but sit up.

Wang Yongqing actually prevented Wang Keling from returning to such a simple question of right and wrong, which was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

While surprised, Director Mao naturally had to think of another answer that was either one or the other.
