Volume VI Section 55 Ambition
Two days after arriving in Almaty, Sha Zhengyang and Yuvan rushed to the city of Aktobe, the capital of Aktobe Oblast.
It is a small inland city with a population of 300,000, but it is not small in Kazakhstan.
Although I had already made various mental preparations, I still deeply felt the difference in a foreign country when I arrived here.
The climate is harsh, the typical temperate continental climate, the winter is cold and long, the summer is cool and short, the climate is cold in spring and autumn, the key is that its infrastructure conditions are quite poor, and the municipal situation is not even a poor county town in the mountainous area in the western part of the country.
The hotel conditions are also very bad, all kinds of facilities are seriously aging, Kazakhstan has just begun the privatization process obviously has not yet undergone the influence of the market economy, everything is still in a kind of transition from a rigid planned economy to a market economy, all seem to be disorganized, but the inefficiency of the bureaucracy is still following the pattern of the former Soviet Union.
Cheese and barbecue are staple foods here, and vegetables are extremely scarce and expensive, which makes it unbearable for the group of Changhe people from China who are used to having vegetables for three meals a day.
Due to the drought and lack of rain in this area, the local people do not have the habit and experience and technology to grow vegetables, resulting in a serious shortage of vegetables, vegetables are basically transported from other places, the price is extremely expensive, and even the price is not in the market, while the large wasteland around the city has not been developed for agriculture at all, which shows that this vast and sparsely populated country is still in a stage of waste waiting to be rebuilt.
The teams that arrived here in advance had already begun to collect materials from the Kenquiak and Gennanor fields, but the Americans, having handed over some of the information they had, quickly withdrew, and they could not adapt to life here.
You Wangang and Sha Zhengyang took the working group to stay here for three days, and the preliminary working group had been here for more than a week, and soon the basic bidding materials had been prepared, and after returning to Almaty, they were successfully submitted to the Kazakh State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau.
The most important first step has been completed, and all that remains is to wait for the Kazakh side to review and evaluate the bidding conditions of Chinese companies.
Texaco and Amoco have also submitted their bids, and it will be more than two months before it will be known who will win or lose.
"You high-ranking official, isn't it a little angry? nose bleeds, right?" Sha Zhengyang is a young man, although he is not very accustomed to the climate and diet here, but he is not as unbearable as those others.
"Well, Zhengyang, life here is too hard, and it's not good for us. You Wan just touched the beard under his nose and shook his head: "Have you noticed the biggest problem?"
"No vegetables. Sha Zhengyang replied with certainty: "I have learned that farmers and herdsmen here have a great demand for vegetables, but for the Kazakh people, vegetables are not the most urgent thing." ”
At present, Kazakhstan has not completely stabilized from the chaotic situation after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the independence of Kazakhstan, the overall economic situation is still very grim, and the living standards of the people have dropped a lot compared with before the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and it is still in a recovery period.
In addition, the former Soviet Union adopted a model of heavy industry and cooperation among the republics, which made all countries in the industrial chain of the industrial chain fractured, and it was quite difficult to restore the integrity of these industries, and it would also be opposed by some nationalists.
Although at present, Kazakhstan should be better off than neighboring countries such as Russia, but it is not as valued by Europe as the geographical location of the three Baltic countries, nor is it as small as Azerbaijan because of its small country and policy of greatly opening up to European and American capital, so that the economy quickly relies on the oil and gas industry to revive rapidly.
The leaders of Kazakhstan should have a fairly forward-looking awareness and foresight, not only aware of the current predicament facing Kazakhstan's economy, the necessity and importance of opening up to the outside world to attract foreign capital and technology to invigorate the economy, but also know that the state-owned oil and gas resources, which are valuable assets, cannot be completely left to others, and the state must play an important role in them.
"It's urgent, it's just that there's nothing they can do about it right now. You Wangang sighed, "Zhengyang, it looks like you have an idea?"
"Of course, Governor You, I have said that Changhe Energy Group's strategy of going out should not be limited to the oil and gas field itself, but should also consider driving the entire Hanchuan economy outward. In the past few days, I have also done an inspection of the infrastructure construction and municipal facilities construction in Aktobe Prefecture, and it should be said that most of the original foundation is still there, but it has basically not been perfected and repaired since the 80s, and the basic living facilities such as roads and water supply are very backward and even unusable. ”
You Wangang's eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly, he had already heard the hidden meaning in Sha Zhengyang's words, and motioned to the other party to continue with his eyes.
"I observed, and found that there are many industries complementary to our country here, such as agriculture, this side of vegetable cultivation is extremely backward, but the land resources are extremely abundant, a large area of land is abandoned, and even has never been developed, which may have a lot to do with the small population of Kazakhstan, but the main thing is that there is no tradition and history of growing vegetables here, and there is no technology. ”
Sha Zhengyang talked eloquently and confidently.
"Our Hanchuan vegetable planting industry is very developed, I originally started a greenhouse vegetable planting base in the old camp area of Zhenyang, it is estimated that this year should have begun to take shape, many local farmers themselves have the tradition of planting vegetables, plus the provincial Department of agriculture under the guidance of large-scale development of vegetable planting, the next step of the base is completed and the completion of a large vegetable trading market, can drive the development of the entire old camp area of tens of thousands of acres of vegetable base, which is also a key planning layout of the Zhenyang County Government. ”
You Wangang is not in charge of agriculture, so he doesn't know much about it.
He knew that Sha Zhengyang's reputation in Zhenyang had always been known for attracting investment and introducing a large number of foreign capital and industrial projects.
Like the Huatai air conditioning project, even the governor of Wang Province I is very optimistic, like the Philips movement project, Sanyo's drive and micro motor project, have become a model, of course, it also includes Pepsi and Simplao's agricultural planting project, which is also too famous, but in fact it is also a deep processing project of agricultural products.
It's just that he didn't expect Sha Zhengyang to personally grasp the greenhouse vegetable project, and he actually won the strong support of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and it seems that the scale is not small.
"Do you mean that our agriculture in Hanchuan Province can also go out to Kazakhstan to develop?" You Wangang rubbed his jaw and said slowly.
For You Wangang, of course, he will not be satisfied with his old age in the position of vice governor I, of course, he is in the prime of life, of course, he also hopes to be able to have a bigger stage for him to display his talents, so why did he want to step down from the position of secretary of the party committee and chairman of Changhe Energy Group earlier.
In the eyes of many people, being able to concurrently serve as the secretary of the Party Committee and the chairman of the Changhe Energy Group is a symbol of power and strength, but for a leader of his level, it is actually meaningless to concurrently serve as a corporate position, and it will even become a constraint.
Throwing away the shackles of corporate positions, it is possible for him to look at problems from a different perspective, and the province will also treat him as a complete provincial leader to play a role, instead of remembering from time to time that he is also a corporate leader, which outsiders do not understand very well.
"Of course, that's what I think, and I think it's feasible. Sha Zhengyang pondered for a moment, as if he was considering the wording, "If we can win the project of Aktobe Petroleum Company, then there will definitely be a management team to come, and if we want to start the exploration and production of the Kenkiyak salt oil field project, there will definitely be a relatively large engineering and technical team to come, I estimate that the two will add up to hundreds of people, of course, this is not worth mentioning with the scale of more than 8,000 workers of Aktobe Petroleum Company, but their living needs should also be taken into account." ”
Sha Zhengyang has obviously thought deeply about this issue, so every point is to the point.
"What's more, I also see that in fact, the local demand for vegetables in Aktobe is also very large, and even the entire Kazakhstan and even the surrounding Russia have a great demand for vegetables, but in fact, their land and water and heat resources here can be used to develop the greenhouse vegetable industry, but the local people of Kazakhstan may not have planting tradition and history, and lack of capital and technical experience, or their locals are not very accustomed to engaging in this industry, I think this is precisely the opportunity and advantage of our Hanchuan agricultural industrialization. ”
You Wangang nodded slightly, he was also seriously thinking about this issue.
In fact, Sha Zhengyang just mentioned that Changhe Energy Group, as the leader of Hanchuan state-owned enterprises, should not only assume the responsibility of the development of the enterprise itself, but also should assume the responsibility of driving the entire Hanchuan economy outward, and there is no doubt that the current agricultural field to Kazakhstan is a very good opportunity.
You Wangang believes that Kazakhstan is only afraid that it will welcome Chinese investment in agriculture, especially vegetable planting, than Chinese investment in oil and gas.
Because they don't have to worry about investing in the oil and gas field, it belongs to the seller's market, but the vegetable planting industry, which is the most needed and lacking by their local people, but other national capital is not much interested in this area, especially this kind of small and medium-sized investment, the only problem that may need to be solved is the problem of land lease.
