The petrochemical projects in overseas are mainly related to the relatively comparative political situation of the government in Indonesia's oil and gas development, and the status of the Chinese in Indonesia has also been improved to a certain extent, and the domestic economy has gradually improved, which has also provided convenience for Fan's Investment Group to fully invest in Indonesia's oil and gas resources.
The strong support of Van Wuji's private to Habibie and the assistance of the $50 billion interest-free loan provided by Van Investment Group to the Habibi government have also made Van Investment Group's position in Indonesia very solid. In particular, they have become the de facto financiers of the salaries of the government civil servants, which makes the government very friendly to Fan's Investment Group.
All this gives Fan Wuzhi a reason to go deep into Indonesia's oil market and form a series of his own industrial systems from crude oil extraction to refined oil processing.
Overall. The most important thing is that although the international oil price seems to be higher, it is still profitable compared to the sky-high price in the future, whether it is from the perspective of profitability or from the perspective of increasing the strategy of increasing oil reserves, it is necessary to occupy the oil and gas market in Indonesia.
For a long time, due to the chaotic situation in Indonesia, the country has been one of the regions that the international community has not favored. Although there are also relatively rich oil and gas resources. However, investors do not agree with the opening here, so many resources are in a situation where they cannot be seen and touched, and at this time, Fan Wuzhi has already dealt with the Indonesian government. Naturally, there is a reason to eat this big cake.
Unlike his son Fan Wuxi's optimism about the development of overseas oil and gas resources, Fan Heng was confused about the reform of the two major oil companies at this time.
At this time, he was in charge of the reform of state-owned enterprises, and naturally he knew more about some insider time, so he became more and more incomprehensible to some issues, which made him feel very confused, and the depression in his heart was unknown to outsiders.
Since the Asian financial turmoil swept the world in 1998 and brought the world economy to a slump, it has seriously led to a decline in global oil demand, and the lowest oil price per barrel at that time fell below $10, which caused huge losses to the world's major oil-producing countries.
In such a situation, 11 OPEC member countries have been implementing the policy of limiting production and guaranteeing prices since March last year, thus effectively curbing the further decline in oil prices.
Enter the new millennium. International crude oil prices have completely come out of the trough of the previous two years, and the United States... The price of Texas Intermediate crude oil has soared from $21 per barrel at the beginning of the year, and has continued to rise, due to the soaring oil prices, the price of high-end products in the oil consumption market has continued to rise.
Since 1 June 1998, China has begun to implement the linkage method of linking domestic crude oil prices with international market prices, and refined oil prices will begin to be in line with international market oil prices in May this year. The price of crude oil purchased and sold between the two major oil companies will be determined by PetroChina and Sinopec through negotiation, and the settlement price between the two parties will be composed of the benchmark price of crude oil, the discount for transportation and miscellaneous expenses, and the discount for quality.
In 1998, China's petroleum and petrochemical industry was strategically reorganized. PetroChina and Sinopec were respectively established as two super-large enterprise group companies. Previously, the pattern has been that CNPC controls oil production, while Sinopec controls downstream crude refining.
It was not until mid-1998 that the two companies began to transfer assets to each other. PetroChina's parent company, PetroChina, received some of Sinopec's refinery assets, while Sinopec was able to inject some of its oilfield assets. The purpose of this arrangement is to set up two oil companies that will integrate their upstream and downstream businesses. As a result, the two companies will have limited competition at home, and perhaps in the future, they may break out of the country and become two internationally influential Chinese oil companies. In the process of carrying out this huge asset restructuring. The Yangtze River became the dividing line between the assets of the two companies. CNPC and PetroChina will control assets north of the Yangtze River, while Sinopec will control assets south of the Yangtze River
。 At the end of last year, PetroChina was registered with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, mainly engaged in oil and gas exploration and development, oil refining and chemical industry, pipeline transportation, sales and other businesses, with more than 50 member enterprises and total assets of more than 400 billion yuan.
For the split of PetroChina and Sinopec, many people believe that this is the huge loss of China's best state-owned assets and the expansion monopoly of the industry, PetroChina quickly abandoned the advanced historical experience since large-scale industrialization, and the rapid deconstruction of the cultural system of the petroleum industry in the historical process of political and economic compromise, which led to the collapse of the industrial chain centered on petroleum and petrochemical in the national economy since the sixties.
In the historical hardships of non-core enterprises, huge oil profits flowed to the international Gong Duan Capital Group.
The split and overseas listing of PetroChina, China's best state-owned asset, is also the biggest economic problem in contemporary China: what is the reason for the dismantling of the complete oil industry system, which has been established entirely on the strength of the Chinese state itself?
The representative of the Beijing office of the Goldman Sachs consortium in the United States once said. He is most proud to be able to participate in the transformation of the entire oil industry. At that time, there were only two options: to let China continue to maintain an oil company with 1.5 million employees, which could be in a dire situation a decade later. Either China can also restructure this company into a beautiful and competitive international oil company.
As a matter of fact, the future of this huge oil company is not as worrisome as the naïve deputy Xi said, and it has relatively independent systems for oil and gas exploration, petrochemical industry, and oilfield construction, production command system, operation and management system, scientific research and development system, logistics system, water supply system, power supply system, heating system, communication system, fine chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, medical security and diversified operation system, agricultural and industrial system, education system, and real estate development system, which have provided tremendous economic support for China's economy for a long timeIt is known as the economic foundation of the party, and has provided valuable advanced experience to China's national industry with a complete industrial management system.
Taking the Daqing Oilfield as an example, this industrial system that has developed independently and self-reliantly since China's industrialization. With an annual output of more than 50 million tons, 27 years of high and stable production, it has created a miracle in the history of similar oilfields in the world. The results of exploration and development of Daqing Oilfield and major projects such as two bombs and one satellite have been recorded in the history of China's science and technology exhibition.
By the end of last year. It has produced nearly 1.6 billion tons of crude oil, accounting for more than 40 percent of the country's total output in the same period, exported 350 million tons of crude oil, and earned nearly 50 billion gongchuan.
After Fan Heng saw these materials, he saw that the two major oil companies were fighting for terminal resources, competing to buy gas station resources in various places, resulting in a large loss of state-owned assets, the continuous breeding of ** behavior, and the various phenomena he saw when he went to Donghai Province this time, he was extremely depressed, but he couldn't find anyone to speak, which was really very uncomfortable.
When he thought about it like this, he was very able to understand Boss Zhu's distress, it was indeed not easy to do something practical, no matter from that point of view, he would be controlled by various forces, and the so-called desire would not be reached.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still dialed the phone with his son Fan Wuxi, but fortunately, he still had an excellent line to talk about in depth, which was incomparable to others.
His son, Fan Wu, is always able to propose some solutions to him, which is more effective than listening to the experts babbling there to express completely opposite opinions, and it is also more helpful to himself.
At least, there is no need to worry that his son will come up with some bad tricks to trick himself.
Fan Wuxian listened to his father Fan Heng complaining on the phone, and scratched his head a little, this matter has always been a very confusing puzzle, and he himself is a little confused, at this time his father asked, but he didn't know how to answer.
However, Fan Wuxian has been committed to the research of oil and gas resources recently, and he also has some experience in the current situation of domestic oil companies, so he will not be unable to communicate with his father Fan Dao.
"PetroChina's total assets account for about 5 percent of the total assets of state-owned enterprises, and profits account for about 25 percent of the profits of the entire state-owned enterprises, which plays a pivotal role in China's national industry. Why should such a high-quality national industry be transformed into a joint-stock system? Is there a huge existential crisis or is there something else going on? Is it the chaos of the superstructure that leads to the chaos of the economic base? I don't think it's neither, but it's this sound economic foundation that has hindered the huge privatization process of Chinese society. Fan Wuxian thought about it and said to Fan Heng.
"Privatization process?" Fan Heng felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
"Don't feel uncomfortable listening to this, it's the truth." Fan Xiu, sick until his father's affection for state-owned enterprises is very deep, but this is precisely the most incompatible with the state-owned enterprise reform he is currently in charge of.
In Fan Wuxi's view, the biggest obstacle for his father Fan Heng is not ruthlessness, but affection, and his feelings for state-owned enterprises are too deep, so he has to reform state-owned enterprises in the process, and there is an incompatibility between emotion and reason. It leads to psychological imbalance, and it is difficult to put it for a while
。
If you want to become a successful politician, you must first learn to abandon those unnecessary feelings, or to be able to correctly express the correct feelings that you should correctly express at the right time and in the right place.
"In other words, you have to learn to act." Fan Wuxian pointed out to his father Fan Heng.
"Learn to act? Isn't that any different from making me fake?! Fan Heng raised his voice and asked very slowly.
This is the only way for you to grow, Fan Wuxian said without hesitation.
In view of the split of PetroChina, the reason put forward at that time was that China's oil was inefficient and could not be compared with the American oil giants, so it had to be reformed, but from the perspective of economic scale and production scale constrained by market size and supply and demand, and according to the current scale of China's economic exhibition, there will not be an oil company comparable to Exxon in China at present, and the size of the so-called profit also depends on the size of the market.
Not as large as the U.S. economy. Do you want to artificially create a strange scale of Chinese oil and compete with the giant American oil companies in the world market? Could it be that after the transformation, PetroChina will be able to reach the economic scale of Exxon? This is, of course, simply impossible
Objectively speaking, PetroChina should ultimately choose the right path from the production and operation mode, operation management, financial and accounting audit, logistics control, process level, and scientific and technological research. Now it seems that PetroChina's disregard for basic issues such as price, cost, investment, and its accounting system in line with international practice after the strategic structural adjustment has aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the international monopoly capital groups, and the EU's refusal to grant China market economy status is not unrelated to PetroChina's extensive operation, high cost, and high investment after its overseas listing, and this just proves that the issue of ownership is not the real reason for PetroChina's strategic structural adjustment and overseas listing. The artificial gap shown by the unrealistic comparison between PetroChina and the world's largest oil base capital group does not simply show the backwardness of the industrial management mode and operation mechanism of PetroChina Group in those years.
Now it seems that the so-called rectification of key state-owned enterprises by the Goldman Sachs consortium in the United States is not a simple motive in itself. What does PetroChina need from the Goldman Sachs consortium to straighten things out? What is the strategic goal? Isn't China itself capable of rectifying its own backbone state-owned enterprises?
In the absence of all the problems, the historic tragedy of PetroChina was born, and the American Goldman Sachs consortium was personally involved in the mass layoffs of Chinese oil workers, Goldman Sachs pointed to the assets of China National Petroleum Corporation. Including the 1.5 million workers employed, it is not possible to go public easily, and the number of workers must be reduced from 1.5 million to 480,000.
As a result, CNPC automatically gave up the drilling team that made great contributions to itself, and later Daqing drilling workers called this behavior the policy of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the angry crowd slaughtered a donkey symbolizing the decades of grinding in the Daqing Oilfield in front of the Daqing Petroleum Administration to express their anger.
It is precisely because Fan Heng can be exposed to such a dissection every day that he feels very depressed, but such things must be done. The depression in my heart can be imagined.
