"Is the news accurate and conclusive?" You Wangang took a deep breath.

"Absolutely. Sha Zhengyang said with certainty: "So PetroChina is very dissatisfied with the Kazakh government, and it is said that it has been expressed through some channels, but there is no result, which also affects their confidence and interest in the project of Aktobe Petroleum Company, of course, this is a good thing for us, but if we really succeed, I am afraid that some people will inevitably suffer from pink eye." ”

Sha Zhengyang's words were very explicit, but You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao didn't seem to hear it.

It's a difficult topic to follow.

You continue. You Wangang nodded.

"The Kazakh government is relatively rich in domestic oil and gas resources, and the Kazakh National Oil Company also has a large share in the field of domestic oil and gas resources, such as the Wujin Oilfield is actually only a small oil field of the Kazakh National Oil Company, and Kazakhstan, especially in the Caspian Sea coastal areas, there are still a large number of oil and gas resources to be explored and developed, which are extremely rich in oil and gas resources, but they are relatively weak in refining, and the refining capacity of the whole Kazakhstan is seriously insufficient, which directly makes Kazakhstan's own refined oil have to rely on a large number of foreign imports, which is inconsistent with Kazakhstan's grand goal of trying to build a petrochemical power, so enterprises like the Orsk refinery are very important to them. ”

You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao's eyes lit up.

Sha Zhengyang continued: "If we can get the Orsk refinery and exchange it with part of the shares, JP Morgan and I think it is very likely that we can exchange the shares of the Wujin oil field, and at the worst, we can exchange some more shares of the Aktobe oil company." ”

You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao both understand Sha Zhengyang's intentions, that is, Changhe Energy Group should not only be limited to the project of Aktobe Petroleum Company, but should stand on a higher footing, and should not just consider winning the project of Aktobe Petroleum Company and extracting crude oil to ship back to China, but can skillfully combine Kazakhstan's demand for refining and chemical resources to make a big game.

The acquisition of the Orsk refinery will not only stabilize the basic destination of Aktobe Petroleum Company's crude oil, but also take advantage of the situation to get involved in Russia's petrochemical industry, and at the same time bring the Kazakh government in.

On the Kazakh side, it can not only win the favor of the Kazakh government in exchange for more lucrative returns on oil and gas resources, but also allow the Kazakh National Oil Company to take a stake in the country, which can also make Russia more worried about restarting nationalization after Putin came to power in the future.

After all, Kazakhstan has always maintained relatively close relations with Russia in the CIS, and it is also the strongest country, and once the two countries are in discord, it will certainly not be conducive to Russia's future great power ambitions.

As a reborn person, Sha Zhengyang knows very well that the next two or three years should be the last chance to enter the Russian oil and gas field.

Due to its own economic reasons, Russia has had to sell a large number of oil and gas assets through privatization in recent years, but this period of opportunity also hides huge risks.

That is, after 2000, when Putin came to power, the privatization policy in some mining and financial fields that was related to the national economy and people's livelihood took a sharp turn, which not only made many Russian oligarchs gloomy, but also put many Western oil companies in the oil and gas field in trouble.

How to deal with the relationship between investment and development with the Russian government after the transition has also become a headache story for Western oil companies and even Western countries and the Russian government.

"Zhengyang, your game is really big enough, I already have enough mental preparation, but I was still scared by your appetite. You Wangang sighed with infinite emotion, but the look of hope in his eyes became more and more intense, "I am already very satisfied with the annual output of three million tons of crude oil of Aktobe Petroleum Company, but I didn't expect you to hide an 8 million tons of production capacity of Wujin Oilfield for me,......"

"No, no, Senior Official, don't listen to the difference, the current Wujin Oilfield does not have this strength, and it is expected to reach that level after repair, which may take two or three years. Sha Zhengyang hurriedly interrupted You Wangang's imagination, this one doesn't understand badly.

"What is two or three years?" You Wangang said proudly: "Changhe oil is in my hands, it took more than ten years to rise to a maximum of 2.6 million tons, I think even if we further increase exploration efforts, and if all aspects are smooth, it is expected to increase to six million tons to eight million tons of production within ten years, this is the limit, and you must know that this crude oil is a non-renewable resource, one barrel less than one barrel of mining, if we can get 3 million barrels of Aktobe, even if we get half of Wujin's production capacity- 4,000,000 barrels, that's a huge win, and it's worth it no matter what!"

You Wangang's bold words and ambitions also made Sha Zhengyang's blood boil.

Indeed, he is well aware of how much China's demand for and dependence on crude oil will be in the next two decades, especially the rising dependence on foreign countries, which has made the central government sleepless, especially the threat from the Strait of Malacca, and made the central government realize that energy security has reached the point where it cannot be delayed.

It can be said that the reason why new energy vehicles can run blindfolded in China in the future is that they are all forced out, but the demand for crude oil is still extremely hungry, which is unsolvable even when Sha Zhengyang was reborn.

The central government has begun to realize what it means to keep importing crude oil, and it is also clear what it means to increase the dependence on crude oil from the Persian Gulf, and the huge risks contained in the Strait of Malacca force a major country to be fully prepared in advance, which is the basic requirement of the energy security strategy of a major country.

The China-Russia and China-Kazakhstan oil and gas pipelines will start one after another in the near future, and Changhe Energy can act as a pioneer, which is not only in line with the economic interests of Changhe Energy Group, but also not in line with the strategic interests of China.

What Sha Zhengyang could think of, You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao could also think of, but they didn't expect Sha Zhengyang to make such a big move as soon as he came, which made them a little unable to digest it for a while.

After pondering for a long time, You Wan just said: "Zhengyang, I have to say, your plan is too tempting, from my personal point of view, I can't refuse, I believe that the same is true of Guangbiao, but the acquisition funds involved in an Aktobe project alone require billions, well, I know you have to say that JP Morgan can assist in financing, but this also involves the investment after we take over Aktobe Oil Company in the future, funds, The personnel, as well as the transportation, the Orsk refinery you mentioned, the pipeline from Aktobe to Atyrau and Aktau, and the Wujin project, are so huge that I estimate that the two leaders of Zhou and Wang will not dare to make a decision, and I am afraid that in the end they will have to go to the central level to consider it as a whole,......"

"Governor You Province, if the central government co-ordinates, I'm afraid there will be no drama for our Changhe Oil, PetroChina is the eldest son, and it will definitely take over directly. Sha Zhengyang had to remind.

You Wangang understood this, of course, and nodded, his fingers tapping lightly on the table like playing a piano.

"So I think it's better to take a few steps, first win the Aktobe project, 60% of the equity can already put us in a dominant position, we can quickly resume production to prove our strength and ability to the Kazakh government, so that we can lay a good foundation for the next move, and ......"

Zhong Guangbiao continued: "And we won the Aktobe project, and we also proved to the central government that whoever wants to make waves in it in the future will not be able to convince the public, all for the sake of the national interest, I am afraid that it is still necessary to talk about a first-come, first-served and fair and just." ”

"Yes, that's what I mean, in business competition, we also have to be good at using fighting strategies. You Wangang smiled, "Some of them we need to take small steps, and some of them need to be planned and moved. ”

Sha Zhengyang also understands that You Wangang's point of view is correct, if you want to do it in one step, it is indeed a bit too advanced in terms of difficulty and risk, this is a state-owned enterprise, not a private enterprise, even a private enterprise needs enough time to do due diligence, and it is such a huge investment project.

"Governor Nayou I, what should we do next?" Sha Zhengyang asked.

"In the evening, we will fly back to Handu together, and you will call that Minister Mo with you. You Wangang took a deep breath, "I will immediately call Secretary Zhou and Senior Officer Wang to report, and ask them to spare time tomorrow morning to listen to the special report. ”

Sha Zhengyang is also helpless, Ji Meifu has just arrived in Beijing, but she has to leave Beijing and return to Handu, this reception is too unreliable.

Fortunately, he estimated that he would have to come back in two or three days.

Once the province is finalized, then this side will officially sign a contract with JP Morgan and jointly start the bidding for this project, and I am afraid that the next step is to go directly to Almaty.

After explaining that he hurriedly went to book a plane ticket, Sha Zhengyang, You Wangang, and Zhong Guangbiao relaxed at this time.

The business is basically finalized, and it is enough to wait for the two main leaders to make a decision, and it is over and ready to enter the next stage.

"Zhengyang, you have to be mentally prepared, once the province decides, you may have to stay in Kazakhstan for a while, at least until the project bidding is successful, and the project company here is formed to take over smoothly before you can get out. Zhong Guangbiao reminded: "What needs to be arranged at home should be arranged in advance." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Zhong, I'm alone, there's nothing to arrange, one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry. Sha Zhengyang said with a smile.

"Zhengyang, you don't have a partner yet?" You Wangang looked at Sha Zhengyang like a monster, and frowned, "I thought you were married, you should consider it as soon as possible, Guangbiao, you have to urge this situation to be resolved as soon as possible, you are responsible." ”
