Chapter 415 Natural Gas Market

……

"Then I would like to thank Senior Officer Zhou, Mayor Bai, and everyone here for their hospitality. Saying that, Guo Shouyun stood up, "I'll give you a drink." ”

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

After everyone drank it all, Bai Bin smiled and said: "Mr. Guo, this Wenchang chicken is the representative of our Cantonese cuisine, the meat is smooth and tender, fat but not greasy, please taste it!"

"This time I came to China, in addition to official business, what I did the most was to eat. Especially Cantonese cuisine, the meal is not to be missed. Saying that, Guo Shouyun took a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, and after chewing for a while, he nodded with satisfaction, "You can't eat such authentic Wenchang chicken in the United States!"

"Mr. Guo can eat more if he likes!" Zhou Qiren said with a smile.

"Then you're welcome. ”

"Please!"

It is said that the wine table culture in China is broad and profound, and he was just a poor dick in his previous life, and he didn't experience it much. But now he really felt it. Before going through this procedure, everyone was talking about whether the wine was good or not, and how delicious the food was, but it did not involve any enterprises and investment. But once this was over, everyone's attention was focused. The topic will never be related to anything outside of work.

"Mr. Guo has many outstanding companies and strong capital. And our China, especially Guangdong Province, has a rapid economic development, and various industries have great potential. If Mr. Guo invests here, I believe that he will be able to get satisfactory returns in the future!"

"Senior official Zhou, Guangdong Province is the province with the fastest economic development in China, even I am in the United States. So Guangdong has always been the focus of our investment. Just like now, our Anping Group has invested nearly 2.2 billion US dollars in Guangdong Province. The second phase of the Zhuhai ~ Hai Power Plant was expanded, and the Jianggao Power Plant was newly built, with a total installed capacity of 2,500 megawatts, which is not a small amount. In addition, since its establishment, GCA Holdings has provided 17 billion Huaxia dollars of venture capital and financing for 127 enterprises in Guangdong Province. These are enough to show that we are optimistic about the future of Guangdong Province!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

Zhou Qiren smiled and nodded, "Mr. Guo's investment has made an outstanding contribution to the economic development of our Guangdong Province. As a high-ranking official, I want to say thank you!"

"You're welcome, we're mutually beneficial. ”

"Hehe, mutual benefit is the basis of long-term cooperation. After a pause, "I heard that Mr. Guo's Universal Studios has been seeking to build new sites in the magic capital and the capital?

"Universal Studios?"

Guo Shouyun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhou Qiren, the governor of the province, to take the initiative to ask about a project. But he reacted quickly. Its own Universal Studios is huge, with an investment of more than $4 billion each, which is an astonishing project of 30 billion yuan when converted into Huaxia coins.

If 30 billion Huaxia coins are smashed, it will have a tenfold spillover effect. Employment, tourism, profits and taxes will all go to a higher level. And with Universal Studios' international popularity, it will also become a shining city card of Yangcheng or Pengcheng, which can be described as a lot of benefits.

"Yangcheng and Pengcheng are both first-tier cities in China, and of course we have considered it. However, because Hong Kong's Disneyland already has a first-mover advantage, in order to avoid competition, we temporarily abandoned Yangcheng and Pengcheng. In addition, the amount of investment in Universal Studios is too large, with the total investment in the magic city and the capital exceeding 8 billion US dollars. In addition, our Universal Studios in Hollywood, Orlando, Barcelona, and Osaka are also facing expansion, and with the new construction of Universal Studios Singapore, capital has been used to the limit. I really don't have the money to think about Yangcheng and Pengcheng. ”

Guo Shouyun talked apologetically, but it gave a great shock to the people around him.

When I mentioned him before, I said that he was a business tycoon and a financial tycoon. The scale of its enterprises is large and has great development prospects. But hearsay is always shocking when you don't see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears. Now, seeing that people invest billions or tens of billions of dollars at every turn, it is almost as much as the foreign exchange income of Guangdong Province in a year. Only then did I realize that people were really rich, and they were not ordinary rich.

It's just that they don't know that Guo Shouyun's so-called investment of tens of billions of dollars is just the total investment of the project. In fact, he only needs to invest 30%, that is, 20~3 billion US dollars, to be able to leverage Universal Studios in the magic city, Beijing and Singapore.

Of course, this kind of means of capital operation is very complicated inside, and it must not be said at the dinner table.

Regarding Guo Shouyun's remarks, Zhou Qiren was also a little surprised.

"Mr. Guo is really...!" Originally, he wanted to say 'rich and rich', but considering the image of Huaxia in the world in the past and the identity of the Chinese on the other side, Zhou Qiren, who was afraid of leaving Guo Shouyun with the impression of 'fighting local tyrants and dividing the land', changed his words again, "Young and promising!"

"You've won the prize!" Guo Shouyun smiled slightly.

In fact, there is a reason why he just said that. Because he experienced the early 20th century in his previous life, he knew very well that now the local governments in China generally have the idea of being greedy and seeking perfection and doing things quickly. In order to increase economic growth and GDP, the larger the scale and the larger the investment of foreign companies, the higher the preferential treatment. So in order to get better conditions for cooperation, he doesn't mind exaggerating his strength.

“… Senior official Zhou, in fact, I am personally very optimistic about the future development of China's economy, so this time I came to China to implement an investment of tens of billions of dollars. Power plant investment and Universal Studios are the focus, but in addition to these two, we are also looking to enter the Huaxia natural gas distribution and retail market. ”

"Natural gas?"

Zhou Qiren raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes! I know that in Huaxia, the upstream of natural gas, including gas sources and pipelines, is owned by Huaxia. Our Anping company respects the economic system of Huaxia and does not set foot in upstream gas sources and intermediate pipelines before opening up to the private economy. However, the downstream distribution and retail sectors allow private and foreign capital investment. It just so happens that Anping has rich experience in the field of natural gas distribution and retail, and is also the largest company in the world in this field. Therefore, we are willing to cooperate with Yangcheng Gas Company to develop the rapidly growing natural gas distribution and retail market in China in the name of a joint venture. ”

Zhou Qiren nodded, "As long as it is a field that Huaxia allows foreign capital to enter, we all welcome Mr. Guo's investment." ”

"Thank you Senior Officer Zhou for your affirmation, I will toast you again!"

"Okay, but let's talk about it, this is the last one. I'm not as old as you young people. ”

"Senior Officer Zhou is too modest, your body is very good. But since you said this was the last cup, let's take the last drink!"

After eating this meal for two hours at noon, Guo Shouyun originally thought that he had a good amount of alcohol and was not drunk. But he completely miscalculated the situation at the dinner table. These officials of the Yangcheng City Government seemed to regard him as an 'attack target', and they took turns to come up to toast, Guo Shouyun, who could hold a few times at first, drank directly in the end.

There is no way, the better it was to go to Jianlibao Group's Sanshui Filling Plant with Wang Peng to inspect it, but it can only be postponed until tomorrow.

Guo Shouyun, who slept for an afternoon and night, didn't have too much pain the next day, although his head didn't hurt too much because of the good wine. But after sleeping for too long, I feel that the whole person is sluggish. It wasn't until after breakfast and half an hour on the treadmill that I felt better.

"Those guys are all trained on the wine table, they are so good at drinking!" Guo Shouyun shook his head, "If you encounter this kind of occasion in the future, you can push it." If you really can't push it, you can't be too realistic. ”

"Boss, Mr. Wang has arrived!" Wang Jue came over to remind.

"Got it, you take him to the reception room first. I went to take a shower and came down quickly. ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, inform Matthew and ask him to prepare, and we'll go out for a while!"

After waving her hand to let her leave, Guo Shouyun went upstairs to take a shower and changed his clothes before going downstairs.

"Boss!"

Seeing Guo Shouyun, Wang Pengju hurriedly stood up.

After glancing at him, Guo Shouyun answered and waved him to sit down.

"Yesterday because of my mistake, you ran away in vain, sorry!"

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do!"

Guo Shouyun nodded slightly, "I heard that in September last year, at the executive meeting of Jianlibao, you had a big fight with Wang Guobiao?

"Yes! After being reported by one of me, this guy was a little annoyed. It's hard to hear, so we'll fight!" Wang Pengju hurriedly said.

"That's right... Do you know Wu Hongmei?"

Hearing the words 'Wu Hongmei', Wang Peng raised his head and 'buzzed', and his heart suddenly became nervous.

Looking at the big boss's deep eyes, he instinctively wanted to deny it, but he couldn't say it when it came to his mouth. Feeling deeply stressed, he hesitated for a moment before stammering: "Recognize... I know, she is my colleague... Fellow. ”

"Moreover, he is now the manager of the audit department of the finance department of Jianlibao Group!"

"Boss, I was wrong!

Wang Pengju is not a fool, when he heard this, he knew that the boss knew everything.

Looking at him sweating on his forehead, Guo Shouyun said indifferently: "You are young and poor, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to prove your mind in front of your first love after you get ahead." It's even your job to make her willing to be your lover. But you shouldn't take advantage of your position to bring her into the group. Moreover, it was placed in such an important position as the manager of the audit section of the finance department. … Nepotism, cultivating cronies, what is the difference between you and Li Jingwei?"

"Boss, I'm just confused. Please forgive me for my years of hard work and the development and growth of Jianlibao Group, just once!"

Guo Shouyun looked at him deeply, "I can give you a chance, but what if you do it again?"

Hearing his loose tone, Wang Pengju was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly promised: "If there is a next time, I will automatically resign myself without you coming forward." ”

"Remember, you said it yourself!"

"Yes!"

Guo Shouyun nodded.

"However, although I forgive you, you must not be punished for your mistakes. … Your options in Jianlibao are reduced by 20%, and the bonus will be fully deducted this year!"

Wang Pengju nodded bitterly. Even if the bonus is deducted, the 20% reduction in options is really painful.

"Alright, you go out first. I'll get ready and go. ”

Looking at Wang Pengju, who turned around and walked out of the door, Wang Jue hesitated for a moment, "Boss, why don't you just fire him?"

"Do you think I don't want to? But firing him, where will I find someone who is capable enough, familiar enough with the operation of Jianlibao Group, and how much can think about the interests of Hanhua?" After a pause, Guo Shouyun's eyes narrowed slightly, "Besides, can you guarantee that the next person who replaces him will not make mistakes?"

"Got it!"

"I gave him a chance this time, and I hope he will cherish it. Moreover, there is a big problem with the management of Jianlibao Group, and it may really need to be rectified!"

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun's face was a little more thoughtful!
