It was already half past twelve when Shen Huai arrived at the Provincial Guest House. Not only were Li Gu, Pang Yunsong, Lu Junsheng and others there, Wu Haifeng and Xiong Wenbin also invited Li Gu and Pang Yunsong to come and sit down.
The table was set with food and wine, but he was the only one who didn't open the table. Shen Huai apologized: "I'm really sorry, something happened at the moment, which kept everyone waiting for a long time."
As for what was temporarily delayed, Shen Huai would never say that he had so much fun last night that he fell asleep in the bathtub before coming over.
"Lao Li, Chairman Wu, and Mayor Xiong and I haven't met each other for a while. If you don't come over, we'll just be chatting. I'm just a little tired. If you have a drink later, we'll forgive you." Pang Yunsong said with a smile. .
"Okay, okay, why are you guys older than me?" Shen Huai sat down and looked at Lu Junsheng pouring the wine for him first, then asked with a smile, "Is this going to be a penalty for drinking?"
Li Gu and Pang Yunsong urged Shen Huai to drink quickly.
Shen Huai drank half a cup of Wuliangye and started the banquet. Then everyone poured in the wine and started eating and drinking slowly.
¡°I heard that the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II project is not going very smoothly?¡± Pang Yunsong brought up the topic of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II project during the meeting.
Shen Huai scratched his nose and said with a smile: "Secretary Pang is better informed than me. I don't think there is anything bad about the progress of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II project."
"Don't be careless," Li Gu asked Shen Huai with a smile, "Have you ever considered placing the second phase of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project in Lanshan?"
Shen Huai guessed that Pang Yunsong mobilized troops and invited him, Wu Haifeng and Xiong Wenbin to have dinner through Li Gu, probably for this purpose.
He smiled bitterly. It was not that he had not considered it, but things were far from as easy as he imagined.
The preparation period for large-scale refining and chemical projects is usually very long. Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase I was submitted for approval before 1998. At that time, there were no strict requirements for marine resource utilization and environmental assessment. The main considerations were production safety and market supply and demand. factors, the approval process is relatively simple.
Even so, it took a year from the preparation to the final approval of the construction of Xinpu Refining Phase I.
Since 1998, laws and regulations related to the environment and the utilization of marine resources have been gradually improved. It has been two years since the project was approved for the second phase of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Industry, but it has not yet received approval from the Planning Commission and the General Administration of Environment. Final approval.
Now that we are considering moving the second phase of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project to Lanshan, we need to redo the preliminary preparation work.
To build the first phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Industry, Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park invested billions of funds and spent several years to build a large-scale petrochemical storage base, a 100,000-ton crude oil terminal, pipeline transportation and other supporting projects.
Although the expressway between Lanshan and Donghua will be completed and opened to traffic later this year, the infrastructure conditions such as ports and terminals are too poor. Now that the second phase of the project is to be moved to Lanshan, billions of dollars more will have to be invested in related supporting projects.
In addition, in addition to refining oil, Xinpu Refining also mainly produces chemical intermediate raw materials.
Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park has been attracting investment for several years and has introduced more than 120 supporting and mid-stream and downstream petrochemical companies. It has initially formed an industrial cluster with scale advantages; while transporting chemical raw materials and fuel to various parts of Huaihai Bay, it has also formed railways, highways , the transportation advantages of Zhujiang waterway intermodal transport.
At this time, if the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical is built in Lanshan, all the advantages formed before will be seriously weakened.
However, since Pang Yunsong came over so actively, he would definitely not fight an uncertain battle. Shen Huai was not in a hurry to express his position and asked Pang Yunsong: "Secretary Pang wants to tell us, what are the advantages of Lanshan?"
"Lanshan Petrochemical Complex has been preparing to launch a refining project for many years. The city and Lanshan Petrochemical also formally established a preparatory group two years ago to promote related work. I believe Secretary Shen, you know something about it, right?" Akito did not say anything secret. Pang Yunsong believed that Shen Huai knew the situation in Lanshan very well, so he brought the topic directly to the key point.
Shen Huai nodded. Lanshan Petrochemical General Plant is the largest state-owned enterprise in Lanshan City. It is an old factory with more than 50 years of history and total assets of more than 2 billion. In 1992, it was restructured into a group company. It is also the current state-owned enterprise in Lanshan City. The only listed company.
Because of its long history, Lanshan Petrochemical, like other state-owned enterprises, has accumulated shortcomings such as aging equipment and redundant personnel over the years.
Although Lanshan Petrochemical raised more than 300 million from the securities market when it went public in 1996, additional consumption and blind diversification led to insufficient equipment and technology upgrades. Lanshan Petrochemical did not achieve operational benefits after its listing. Effective improvement.
¡°It is also thanks to the strong market demand for chemical raw materials in the past two years that Lanshan Petrochemical Complex can still barely maintain low profit operations.
Two years ago, Lanshan City and Lanshan Petrochemical were interested in promoting a refining capacity of three million tons of crude oil.Integrated projects, but no one in the industry feels that Lanshan Petrochemical has the ability to promote the project in recent years.
At this time, Lanshan City was no better than Donghua in 1994 and 1995, in terms of financial resources, infrastructure and other conditions.
"Lanshan City has also realized early on that Lanshan City alone does not have the ability to promote the construction of large-scale refining and chemical projects. A consensus was reached in the middle of the year, hoping to promote the deepening reform of Lanshan Petrochemical and the construction of large-scale refining and chemical projects. Combined" Pang Yunsong said.
"Lanshan has spent a lot of money this time." Li Gu said with a smile.
In order to introduce the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II project to Lanshan, Pang Yunsong took out the only listed company in Lanshan City to restructure and reorganize it. It can be said that he spent a lot of money.
"Lanshan's infrastructure is still too weak." Shen Huai said.
"No matter how weak it is, it is still stronger than Xinpu in 1996," Pang Yunsong saw Shen Huai's tone softening and said with a smile, "The Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund has a budget of 4 billion in 2002 that has not yet been implemented. If we can invest in Arashiyama, the situation of Arashiyama¡¯s backward infrastructure should be able to change a lot at once"
"Secretary Pang, your calculation is too precise," Shen Huai said with a bitter smile, "Just for the convenience of moving the second phase of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project to Lanshan, the Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund will use the remaining 40 A budget of 100 million has been invested in Lanshan, and I waved my hand. It can be said that it has nothing to do with me, but Chairman Wu will be scolded in the spine."
"Lanshan is the weakest link in the Huaihai Bay Economic Development Planning Area. If Rongxin and Sinopec build a refining and chemical project in Xinjin next year, the coastal railway is expected to start construction, but I believe that Rongxin Group will only build Xinjin first. A short section connecting to Xinpu. They also want to attract some sponsorship from the government construction fund. Of course, the more important financial investment must be raised by Rongxin Group itself," Wu Haifeng said, "The section from Lanshan to Xinjin will be completed next year. If we can¡¯t build it, it still depends on how the province promotes it.¡±
The railway from Xinjin to Xinpu is less than 40 kilometers, while from Lanshan to Xinjin, 170 kilometers of railway need to be laid.
The planning, surveying, design and other work of the coastal railway have been ongoing, and the planning details have already been compiled and approved. But when to start construction and which section to start construction, in addition to the railway department, it mainly depends on the local area. Regarding capital investment, after all, the coastal railway is only positioned as a branch railway and does not receive strong support from national construction funds.
Even if the construction difficulty of the coastal foundation and other aspects of the branch railway from Lanshan to Xinpu is taken into account, it can be almost solved by building only a single-line electrified railway with a capital budget of 3 to 4 billion.
Shen Huai nodded and said, "The key depends on the attitude of the province. We can only do some specific work below."
Pang Yunsong and the staff around him took a look. Shen Huai and Wu Haifeng's opinions were quite clear. They were not opposed to investing more funds from government funds in Lanshan infrastructure, but only to cooperate with the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Construction. In Lanshan, if the news spreads, it will be quite detrimental to the Meishan Iron and Steel Department, so it is best for Governor Xu Pei to take the lead in promoting this matter, and they "take advantage of the trend."
***************************
Presumably, Pang Yunsong reported this matter to Xu Pei a long time ago. It is not difficult to explain that the attitudes of Guo Chengze and Meng Jiansheng have become so "indecisive" and "weak". They need to reconcile the conflicts between Meishan Iron and Steel and Rongxin in the current project competition, and make Xinpu The refining part of the second phase of the refining and chemical project is transferred to Lanshan, which can be regarded as a compromise plan.
Two days later, Xu Pei formally called Shen Huai to the office to discuss this issue.
Shen Huai also personally came forward. After many negotiations with CNOOC, CNOOC finally agreed to consider building a large refining base in Lanshan.
On the one hand, in order to ensure that the interests of Xinpu are not weakened, and to ensure that Lanshan has a relatively sufficient source of infrastructure funds, Shen Huai proposed that Lanshan Tingcheng District and Xiapu County establish a joint industrial park model to jointly develop and build Tingcheng. - Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park promotes the construction of Lanshan refining and chemical base.
After New Year's Day, Shen Huai, Wu Haifeng, Wei Fenghua and relevant officials from CNOOC rushed to Lanshan. Although Lanshan Petrochemical started formulating a plan to develop a refining base two years ago, the planned construction land was only a saline-alkali land. On the deserted beach, some large pieces of salt-resistant reeds lie on the deserted beach.
In order to ensure that the application and approval work is not interrupted, Lanshan Refining and Chemical's previously formulated three-million-ton refining and chemical project construction plan will not make major adjustments.
The transfer of the second phase of Xinpu Refinery to Lanshan is not a simple adjustment. It involves a wide range of aspects. Lanshan City¡¯s urban construction and industrial development plan, as well as the province¡¯s petrochemical industry development plan, will need to be significantly expanded accordingly. adjustments; and new refining and chemical projects will also appear in the new form of the first phase of Lanshan Petrochemical's large-scale refining and refining base.
The preliminary plan for the new adjustment is to plan and build a 10-million-ton refining base on this deserted beach in the later stage.
Comparatively speaking, Lanshan¡¯s industrial construction land, environmental capacity and other resources are more generous than Xinpu.
As long as the railways, highways, inland rivers, pipeline transportation and other infrastructure between Lanshan and Xinpu can be ensured, CNOOC is more willing to build Lanshan into an energy and chemical raw material supply base for Huaihai Bay.
Especially the shallow sea outside Lanshan also has richer oil and gas resources, and the prospective natural gas reserves may be as high as nearly 100 billion cubic meters. This may be the richest gas reservoir along the coast of Huaihai Bay, but to exploit it, a large amount of money needs to be invested in further geological surveys in the early stage.
Huaihai State-owned Assets also plans to cooperate with CNOOC to establish a joint venture and invest 500 million to conduct further geological surveys in the shallow sea outside Lanshan.
Fortunately, Huaineng has just upgraded the Lanshan Power Plant, and there will be no shortage of power supply in the short term. However, in addition to the construction of the refining and chemical base itself and supporting projects such as crude oil terminals and petrochemical storage tank areas, the foundation of the entire industrial park, The construction of living and other facilities also requires a large amount of investment.
Fortunately, there are precedents for cooperative industrial parks to learn from. However, the previous Huaixi Qingshan Electric Power Industrial Park and Meixi-Qingsha Metallurgical Industrial Park were smaller in scale, while the Tingcheng-Xinpu Petrochemical Industrial Park was larger in scale.
In addition to the 20 square kilometers of industrial land including Lanshan Petrochemical, the joint industrial park also includes the development and construction of 12 kilometers of coastline, port terminals, including the development and construction of Dagang New City supporting the industrial park.
The cooperation period between the two parties is twenty years. Lanshan Tingcheng District will provide construction land, and Xinpu Port Investment Group will provide the funds needed for the infrastructure construction of the industrial park on behalf of the Xiapu County Government. Future local finance and taxation and land transfer income will be used as cooperation income for both parties. Make allocations.
This means that in the next twenty years, Lanshan City will only enjoy half of the increase in local finance and taxes due to the development of the industrial park, and the remaining half will be owned by Xiapu County as investment income.
In addition to receiving the 40% stake in Lanshan Petrochemical held by the Lanshan Municipal Government, Xinpu Refining and Chemical also invested 1 billion to participate in the private placement of Lanshan Petrochemical, increasing the equity ratio to 70%; Lanshan Petrochemical was directly taken over by Xinpu Refining and Chemical. CNOOC and Huaihai State-owned Assets will no longer directly participate in the restructuring and reorganization of Lanshan Petrochemical.
As far as Xinpu Refinery is concerned, it will only move the refining part of the second phase project to Lanshan, and invest up to 3 billion in large ethylene and PX as the two follow-up projects of refining and chemical integration, which will continue to be built in Xinpu Inside the petrochemical industrial park.
Such a compromise also clears the way for Ronshine and Sinopec to establish a new refining and chemical production capacity of up to 3 million tons in Xinjin. Subsequently, on the issue of coastal railway construction, Rongxin also took a step back and agreed to jointly establish a joint stock company with Huaihai State-owned Assets, Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund and East China Railway Bureau to be responsible for the construction of coastal branch railways. This can be regarded as accepting such a compromise.
A series of coordination, compromise and adjustments of plans were carried out around the Spring Festival of 2002. By the end of March, plans for the construction of a 10-million-ton refining and chemical base as well as Lanshan oil and gas resource development and energy base were officially formulated.
The total budget to be invested in the construction of a multi-million-ton refining and chemical integrated base in the next ten years will be as high as 20 billion. This not only gives a boost to the hearts of the people of Lanshan City, but also arouses divergent opinions in the province.
People kept coming to Shen Huai to ask if he would be transferred to Lanshan.
Shen Huai didn't know where the rumor came from, but it spread widely. They said that in order to promote poverty alleviation and development in Lanshan, the province was considering transferring him to Lanshan to serve as executive deputy mayor for a transition period of one or half a year, and then directly take charge of it. Working for the Lanshan Municipal Government, he will become the youngest mayor of Huaihai
