Seeing the construction site of Tianjiang Iron and Steel Industrial Park with his own eyes, Zhao Changbo was shocked by the progress and scale of construction here. According to Bao Feiyang, joint venture projects such as Xinpu Steel and Fangxia Coal Chemicals, as well as ThyssenKrupp and Posco Steel will be completed and put into operation within two years, and they will be completed and put into operation as a whole. A steel plant involves many links and devices, from ironmaking, steelmaking to steel rolling, and then to steel processing. Five million tons of steel are smelted and processed. The entire production area is a steel city, and all of this must be done in Completed within two years. "We adopted a sub-item bidding method for the construction of Xinpu Steel and Fangxia Coal Chemical. After the bidding is completed, the winning construction unit will start construction at the same time. What we are doing now is actually some preliminary infrastructure construction, because some project design and bidding work It has not been completed yet, so large-scale construction has not started yet," Bao Feiyang said to Zhao Changbo from the side. Zhao Changbo couldn¡¯t help but feel a little silent. It turned out that what he saw was only the prologue and prelude to the large-scale construction, and the real scene had not yet arrived. "So the construction funds for the project are all in place?" Zhao Changbo asked. In fact, it is not difficult to adopt this kind of sub-item bidding and carry out construction at the same time. As long as the design plan is in place and the construction is strictly in accordance with the standards, there will be no What's the problem? In a project like a steel plant, the devices are originally independent. As long as the connection part is done well, there will be no problem. But starting construction at the same time means that the construction funds for each project must be paid at the same time, and the financial pressure will be very high. Bao Feiyang shook his head and said: "Part of the funds have been received, but some will not be available immediately, so we ask the construction unit to advance funds!" "Advanced funds?" Zhao Changbo couldn't help but be a little surprised. In the field of engineering construction, advance funds are This situation is not uncommon, but for projects as large as Xinpu Steel and Fangxia Coal Chemicals, the scale of advance funding required by the builder will be in the hundreds of millions, which is not something that ordinary construction units can afford. Even if these projects are divided into separate projects for bidding, the bid amount of each project is relatively high, and ordinary construction units simply cannot afford this construction fund. Bao Feiyang nodded and said: "Yes, whether we can advance funds will be an important consideration in our bidding, but of course it is not the only consideration. Maybe not every construction unit has the ability to advance funds, but that doesn't matter. If you can advance funds, Units with advanced financing can obtain larger-scale and more profitable projects, while units without the ability to advance capital can obtain projects with a relatively smaller scale and lower profit margins. We have also prepared a part of the construction funds, which should be able to guarantee The need to start construction of various projects at the same time." Bao Feiyang introduced to Zhao Changbo: "The construction team over there is Fanghua Engineering Construction. They have participated in the construction of multiple projects in the petrochemical base in Northwest Province, and have also participated in the construction of coal mines and coal chemical projects. , has rich experience in engineering construction. This time they acquired the engineering team of a steel company in the Northern Province and entered the field of equipment installation and construction of steel plants. This company owns Tucker Petroleum, Petroleum Corporation, Taihu Chemical Industry The investment from large companies such as Fangta Mining and Tangsheng Heavy Industry has very strong financial strength. This time they first invested in several bids for the early construction of the project, which were basically advance funds" Zhao Changbo couldn't help but look at the package. Feiyang took a look. After meeting with Executive Vice Mayor Zhou Kunlin yesterday, he also asked someone to inquire about Bao Feiyang's situation. Only then did he learn some information that he had not noticed before, and also roughly knew the relationship between Bao Feiyang and Fang Xia Group. We also know that Bao Feiyang has a lot of cooperation with multinational companies such as Tucker Petroleum, Tangsheng Heavy Industries, Jinguang Group, and even Taihu Chemical. It seems that Fanghua Construction is also a related party of Bao Feiyang, which also solves his problem. The doubts in my heart are because in this era, it is not so easy to advance funds. The person who is now in charge attracted national attention by solving the national triangular debt problem. The situation is indeed similar to what Zhao Changbo thought. Among the major shareholders of Fanghua Construction, there is actually an offshore company registered by Bao Feiyang and the Bao Family Fund, which is also a company indirectly controlled by Bao Feiyang. In addition, Tucker Petroleum, Tangsheng Heavy Industry, Fangta Mining and Taihu Chemical also hold some shares in it. Fanghua Construction's business is mainly industrial installation and engineering construction. Previously, it was mainly engaged in chemical equipment installation and chemical industry. Construction. With the support of petroleum and chemical giants such as Tucker Petroleum, Petroleum Corporation and Taihu Chemical, Fanghua Construction quickly built up a strong installation and construction team and participated in many large-scale chemical projects. Construction and installation, this time in order to support the construction of Tianjiang Park, Fanghua Construction directly purchased several steel plant construction teams from the Northern Province, established a new metallurgical construction project department, and entered the Tianjiang Park construction market in a large scale. It is precisely with the support of Fanghua Construction that Bao Feiyang can smoothly promote his sub-item bidding and simultaneous construction plan, and provide?Ability to advance capital will be given priority. In fact, with the current strength of Fanghua Construction, it is completely possible to take over all the construction and installation projects of Fangxia Coal Chemical and most of the projects of Xinpu Iron and Steel by uniting some cooperative enterprises. As for the issue of advance capital, Bao Feiyang can completely lend money to Fanghua Construction by using offshore funds. Anyway, although the requirements for these projects in the park are relatively high, the profits are still considerable. Even if calculated according to normal interest rates, Fanghua Construction You can still make a lot of money in the end. This is not because Bao Feiyang wants to transfer profits, but for such a large project, all quality standards are relatively high, and funds must be advanced. In the construction and installation market of large projects, such prices and profit margins are even such. The profit margin is already low, because there are very few domestic companies that can undertake such a large project, and key projects even require service support from foreign companies or engineers, otherwise they will not be completed at all. Just like the large-scale refining and chemical project in Jingshan Chemical Industry Park invested by Pujiang Petrochemical, although the construction and installation company under Petrochemical Corporation undertook the main project, it actually cooperated with BP, and the key equipment and devices were imported in complete sets. The other party also needs to provide technical support during installation. This is also the reality of large-scale engineering construction and installation projects. Bao Feiyang also saw this situation when he asked Tucker Petroleum, Fangta Mining and others to separate the engineering construction and installation business. At present, large-scale equipment and devices in many fields in China must be imported from abroad, including complete sets of production processes. In the past, the country has carried out technical research on projects such as large-scale ethylene, large-scale chemical fertilizers, and synthetic ammonia, which solved existing problems and led to rapid technological development. However, compared with the world's advanced level, the gap is still relatively obvious. If Pujiang Petrochemical's refining and 900,000-ton ethylene project in Jingshan Chemical Industry Zone wants to benchmark against the world's advanced level, it can only cooperate with BP. Tucker Oil¡¯s previous core competitiveness lay in their exploration and drilling technology. After these years of development, Tucker Oil has owned many oil field resources in the Americas, Asia and Africa, and has also entered the petrochemical industry. On the surface, Tucker Oil is still a purely American-funded company with a very upright background, so it will not be subject to many restrictions in the international market like Chinese companies. Tucker Oil has gradually mastered some core technologies in the petrochemical industry through acquisitions and transactions. For example, they used half of the equity in an oil and gas field in Qatar to acquire a petrochemical equipment production and installation company under Mobil through transactions, and quickly built their own equipment production and installation companies. Installation force. Fanghua Construction also achieved rapid development with the support of Tucker Petroleum. With Tucker Petroleum's technology, Fanghua Construction directly acquired an installation company under the National Petroleum Corporation, and then joined the two major oil giants. With the support of Northwest Petroleum, it developed rapidly. Bao Feiyang hopes that Fanghua Construction can grow into a giant in the field of engineering and construction in the future. There will be many large-scale industrial projects in China in the future, and the development potential in this area is very great. If we want to go global, the biggest problem that Fanghua Construction faces now is that domestic technology is still relatively backward in the manufacturing of chemical equipment. For example, some high-pressure vessels, domestic product standards do not meet the requirements, and some valve products also have some problems. In short There is still a lot to catch up on. At present, Tucker Oil is also developing equipment manufacturing and installation business, but their focus is equipment manufacturing. They also have specialized technical strength for installation, but for the actual installation work in China, they cooperate with Fanghua Construction. They will also look for cooperation partners internationally. Currently, they have many cooperations with Taihu Chemical and Mobil. Although there is still a certain technological gap between Tucker Oil and some world-class petrochemical giants, Tucker Oil has also rapidly improved its technical strength through this kind of cooperation. However, compared with the domestic technical level, Tucker Oil is still world-class. Bao Feiyang also hopes that Tucker Petroleum, while relying on China's development, will use its own technology to provide feedback and help China develop related technologies. Therefore, Tucker Petroleum and Northwest Petroleum also established a petrochemical equipment manufacturing company in Northwest Province. It specializes in the research, development and manufacturing of petrochemical equipment. It has been completed and put into production and is gradually developing and continuing its own strength. Zhao Changbo also paid special attention to Tucker Petroleum and Taihu Chemical. Although these two companies are not top petrochemical giants and cannot be compared with behemoths such as Exxon Mobil and BP, they are second only to these giants. Although it may be lacking in scale, in its respective areas of advantage, it is actually no worse than Mobil and BP, and it is also ahead of Huaxia Petrochemical and Huaxia Petroleum. If Jingshan Chemical Industry Zone can cooperate with Tucker Petroleum and Taihu Chemical, introduce Their investment is also a very big achievement and will play a great role in promoting the construction of the chemical industry zone.
