Chapter 444 Things turn out differently
Time flies like an arrow. Ma Baoping and his team all came to Donghai from the capital, and the infrastructure construction here has been completed by 80%. Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong don't understand any technology at all, so they didn't see the tricks that Suning and Han Zegang used in the infrastructure.

"Director, this is Engineer Feng. He is a dock professional assigned to our Donghai Chemical Plant by the Chemical Headquarters." Ma Baoping pointed to a short-haired girl and introduced her.

"Oh? Engineer Feng, nice to meet you." Su Ning smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with Engineer Feng. "Which school did you graduate from?"

"Director, I graduated from Zhejiang East International Maritime College, and then studied for a master's degree at Cardiff University in the UK." Mr. Feng, who had short hair, explained with a smile.

"Haha, it seems that the Ministry of Chemical Industry has assigned a truly senior talent to our Donghai Chemical Plant."

"Huh? Director, you're too kind."

"Fang Ping, take Engineer Feng to the dock to familiarize himself with the situation. Here are my car keys." Su Ning suddenly looked at Fang Ping behind him and gave the order.

"Yes! Director."

Seeing that the Donghai Chemical Plant is now almost entirely staffed by Suning personnel, Ma Baoping feels very uncomfortable. However, he is only a deputy factory director and feels embarrassed that there is no one available. Even if he wants to place his own people in the Donghai Chemical Plant, Ma Baoping has no suitable and convenient ones.

After everyone left, Ma Baoping came to Suning's office again with a mysterious look on his face, and explained to Suning, "Director, our Donghai factory may have encountered difficulties this time?"

"What? What happened?" After thinking about it, it was almost time and the bad news might have been reported back. Suning looked at Ma Baoping knowingly and asked.

"Director, the Japanese equipment company has recently been considering breaking the contract."

"Oh? Hasn't Lu Si been in charge of equipment procurement?" Su Ning suppressed the urge to laugh. Lu Si still ended up with nothing.

"Yes! Now this matter can almost be said to be a done deal."

"Well, you guys stay and continue the infrastructure work, focusing on the docks. I'll go to the capital tomorrow."

"Ah? Do we have to stop the infrastructure construction?"

"No need! Old Ma, if you're thinking of giving up, just think about how you got into the East China Sea project team in the first place." Suning noticed that Ma Baoping was a little discouraged and couldn't help but give him a push. "I think you should understand one thing: as long as it's not the last moment, we still have a chance."

"what?"

At this moment, Ma Baoping suddenly realized that Suning must have received the news a long time ago and must have come up with a solution, otherwise it would be impossible for them to sit back and relax so calmly.

Thinking back that it was because of Liu Yuhai's voluntary withdrawal that Ma Baoping was able to join the Donghai project team, he heard that Liu Yuhai had been jumping around in the past two years, wanting to be transferred back to the Donghai Chemical Plant, but was firmly rejected by Suning.

The next day, Suning flew from Shanghai to Beijing, and then took a taxi directly to the Ministry of Chemical Industry. At this time, the Ministry of Chemical Industry was in a state of chaos. The Japanese equipment supplier tore up the contract too suddenly, and many people were not expecting it.

Suning didn't have to wait long this time. Zhou Si and Lu Si summoned Suning together. Looking at Su Ning in front of them, Zhou Si and Lu Si both looked worried.

"Suning, the news has now been confirmed. The Japanese supplier has completely torn up the contract." Zhou Si said to Suning in front of him.

"Boss Zhou, I've actually anticipated this." Su Ning nodded nonchalantly, then pulled out a list from his black briefcase. "So, please take a look at this equipment list, leaders."

Zhou Si and Lu Si took the equipment list handed over by Suning with confusion, and found that it was the American equipment that Suning had declared two years ago. Lu Si and Zhou Si were both confused and puzzled. Lu Si was very angry now, and looked at Suning unhappily.

"Director Su, your list of American equipment is even more impossible." Lu Si threw the list on the table beside him.

"Leaders, I actually had contact with Japanese suppliers when I was at the Zhongyuan Factory, and I'm well aware of their business temperament." Suning looked at the anxious Zhou Si and Lu Si and explained to them confidently, "If they were the only supplier, they would raise prices arbitrarily and sometimes even take the initiative to tear up the contract.

If several suppliers are competing for an order, they will do whatever it takes to get it, and then slowly, through hard work and effort, they might end up with a higher price or even a project being scrapped.”

"Well, I know about this. Because the Japanese supplier temporarily raised the price by 20%, the Zhongyuan Factory gave up on introducing Japanese technology. In addition, the Zhongyuan Factory has completed the technical upgrade and transformation, and it is not too urgent to introduce new technology. So this matter has been temporarily shelved." Zhou Si nodded in understanding. Although he didn't know the intention of his confidant, he still responded very enthusiastically.

"Yes! Because I've suffered losses before, I was not optimistic about the purchase of Japanese equipment when the department first proposed it." Seeing that Zhou Si and Lu Si understood, Su Ning continued to explain, "So, I contacted a mainland trading company called Fuyun and asked them to purchase the equipment on this list. It has now arrived at the domestic warehouse."

"what?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lu Si looked at Su Ning in shock, his face full of disbelief. "This batch of equipment will cost at least tens of millions of dollars. There's no way Fortune Trading will advance the funds."

"Mr. Lu, I have some contact with Fuyun Trading. They are very generous to me. Even if the Japanese equipment is purchased as scheduled, Fuyun Trading can slowly sell the equipment to other domestic chemical plants. In any case, they will definitely not hold it in their hands."

"Suning, is what you said true?" Zhou Si was really excited at this time.

"Two leaders, the equipment is now stored at the Donghai New Wharf. You can go and see it in person."

"Ah? Okay! Let's set off now." Zhou Si and Lu Si stood up impatiently.

Suning took Zhou Si and Lu Si on a plane back to Shanghai, and then took his car from the parking lot of Shanghai Airport. At this time, Zhou Si and Lu Si had almost believed what Suning said.

"Suning, you are too much of a gambler." Lu Si still wanted to find some faults in Suning to show his presence.

"Director Zhou, Director Lu, I'm actually not as mysterious as you think." Su Ning knew that if he didn't explain it more clearly, the two leaders would still guess what he was thinking. "When I have nothing to do, I like to think about things. I believe that everything has its inevitability.

When I was at Anyun University, I saw that Donghai was a valuable land that could definitely fill the gaps in our chemical industry.”

"Ah?" Zhou Si and Lu Si looked at each other in shock.

"When I started working at the Zhongyuan factory, I saw how much it had suffered from its Japanese suppliers. I knew I had to prevent it from getting hurt again, so I made some preparations in advance."

"Suning, there is still a big problem now. Your infrastructure was built mainly based on Japanese equipment, but now it has suddenly been replaced with American equipment. Do you have to start all over again?" "Huh? There is a little problem, but it's not a big problem. It can be easily solved." Suning did not explain in too much detail.

At this time, Zhou Si and Lu Si were both convinced that Suning had long since determined that the Japanese buyer would break the contract, otherwise they would not have been so straightforward in handing over all purchasing rights to Lu Si. It turned out that they had always expected Lu Si to fail.

Lu Si, who understood all the problems at this time, looked a little ugly. He felt like a monkey being fooled. The look in his eyes when he looked at Su Ning was no longer as kind as before.

Feeling the strange look in Lu Si's eyes, Suning knew that he had offended Lu Si this time, but Suning could not care about it now. Too much time had been wasted. It was time to throw away all the burdens and face the wind.

After seeing the new equipment stored at the Donghai Wharf, Zhou Si and Lu Si didn't know what to say. When they saw the infrastructure of the Donghai Chemical Plant, they were convinced that Suning was building it according to American equipment. Both of them felt that Suning was too crazy.

"Two leaders, it's getting late today. Shall I take you two to the Shanghai Hongyun Hotel to rest?"

"Hongyun Hotel? Forget it! Let's stay in Donghai!" Zhou Si shook his head and rejected Suning's proposal.

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Song from Fortune Trading is waiting for us at the Hongyun Hotel. It's time to discuss the price with them."

"Ah? That's fine."

Suning brought the two leaders back to Shanghai. Song Yunping was already waiting at the Hongyun International Hotel. They all came to the top-level box that had been prepared.

"Mr. Song, thank you Fuyun Trading for being willing to help us." Zhou Si looked at Song Yunping with gratitude.

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, you're too polite." Song Yunping said nonchalantly, "My husband and brother are both chemical workers. It's an honor for Fuyun Trading to be able to make some contributions to our chemical industry."

"Mr. Song, I'd like to toast you on behalf of all the chemical workers." Zhou Si excitedly raised his glass and looked at Song Yunping with gratitude.

"Mr. Zhou, you're really too kind. This is what we should do." Song Yunping quickly stood up and clinked glasses with Mr. Zhou, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Mr. Song, I wonder what the quotation for this batch of equipment is?" Lu Si was anxiously concerned about the price, wanting to see how much money Fuyun Trading could make from it.

Hearing Lu Si's question, everyone in the box was stunned and the atmosphere became subtle. Song Yunping smiled and glanced at Su Ning next to her, and Su Ning just nodded slightly.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lu, only 80% of the market price is required, and the transaction can be done in RMB."

"What?" At this time, Zhou Si and Lu Si both widened their eyes in surprise.

"Mr. Song, your Fuyun Trading will lose money like this, right?" Zhou Si looked at Song Yunping with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's not like we're losing money. Considering the exchange rate difference between the US dollar and the RMB, our Fortune Trading business has barely broken even."

"Mr. Song, thank you so much." Zhou Si was really grateful this time.

"Mr. Zhou, we didn't intend to profit from this trade. We just hope that when mainland chemical factories purchase equipment again, they will consider Fuyun Trading."

"Huh? Can you guarantee that the equipment is leading?" Lu Si still looked at Song Yunping with a questioning look.

"Huh? I can't say for sure we're ahead, but we can definitely meet any of your requirements." Song Yunping said confidently, still reminding Zhou Si and Lu Si in advance, "Just don't ask about the source of the equipment. This is our company's top secret. In fact, even us company executives don't know."

"Haha, we all understand this."

That night, Director Zhou and Director Lu were both arranged to stay at the Hongyun International Hotel. Director Lu looked at Director Zhou with confusion and said, "Director Zhou, what do you think Suning and Song Yunping are up to?"

"In the future, the chemical industry in mainland China will experience a huge boom, and equipment procurement will definitely be a big deal. Fuyun Trading certainly wants to establish a good relationship in advance."

"What? They are playing such a big game?" Lu Si was also impressed at this time.

After Su Ning and Song Yunping returned, they looked at Song Yunping with confusion, "Pingping, I just saw Cheng Kaiyan at the Hongyun Hotel. What happened?"

"Uh! Cheng Kaiyan found me some time ago and wanted to work at the Hongyun Hotel. I saw that she was quite pitiful now, so I agreed."

"Pingping, why are you so childish? Cheng Kaiyan is obviously here for revenge." Su Ning looked at the kind-hearted Song Yunping with a wry smile.

"Huh? No way!"

"Cheng Kaiyan's family are all like dog-skin plasters. Once you get involved with them, you can't get rid of them." Suning was really helpless at this time.

"Ah? What should I do then? Should I fire her?"

"Forget it! Remember, she must not be reused, and anyone she introduces cannot be used either." Su Ning said helplessly.

Suning became the biggest contributor to the revival of Donghai Chemical Plant. As the head of Donghai Chemical Plant, no one dared to refute Suning.

But Suning is not a domineering person. All major issues will be discussed in the conference room, and he is not domineering enough to deny others a say.

Thanks to Suning’s advance preparations, Donghai Chemical Plant is no longer the inherently deficient plant described in the original drama. Instead, it immediately became the number 1 chemical company in the mainland’s chemical industry and a top chemical company in the world’s chemical industry.

Because of the good relationship with the Ministry of Chemical Industry, Fuyun Trading has experienced a great boom during the special period of the past two or three years, and has reached many agreements with domestic chemical companies.

Even the equipment needed by Binzhou Chemical Plant was purchased from Fuyun Trading. This not only made Fuyun Trading a lot of money, but also made Fuyun Trading famous in the mainland.
