Section 13 Monopoly
Liu Daoyuan's troubles only bothered Zhao Guodong for a short time, and he felt more and more that working in the National Development and Reform Commission brought him great opportunities, and the things he had to contact every day were unimaginable in the local area, and this training experience could be said to be the most valuable wealth in his future life.
"Ouyang, what's the arrangement after ten o'clock?" Zhao Guodong put down the signature pen in his hand and raised his voice and asked.
Ouyang Jinhua hurriedly walked in, "Fifteen minutes later, Director Zeng and you will meet with Zhu Yumin, President of China United Oil Group, Gao Jinchuan, Executive Vice President of Guoquan Energy and Mining Investment Group, Wu Youde, President of Tianhua Group, and Huang Jinsheng, Senior President of Indonesia Bami Resources, to listen to their reports and introductions on the Donggu natural gas project in Indonesia. ”
"Oh? I almost forgot. Zhao Guodong patted his head, he forgot a little.
The house called and said that this time he would not meet with him in an official capacity, and that he had been in Indonesia for some time, and he could not get out of it, running for the Dongji-Sanoro LNG project.
The final battle was already in place in December, when Guoquan Energy & Mining Investment Group, together with a consortium of five companies, including Bami Resources, China United Oil, Petronas and Tianhua Group, defeated a consortium of Mitsubishi Corporation and Indonesia's Meiko to win the Dongji-Sanoro LNG project, which will cost US$2.1 billion to build a 3 million tonne per year LNG plant on Sulawesi.
The key to winning is to pull the Indonesian National Oil Company in, so that the Indonesian National Oil Company and the Bami Resources Company in the domestic influence of the two combined, suddenly increased greatly, plus China's Zhonglian Oil is one of the four domestic oil giants, and Guoquan Energy Mining Investment Group is the most influential private energy and mining group in China, Tianhua Group is a powerful private oil and gas wholesale and retail enterprise in China, several joined forces to finally win the project from the powerful Mitsubishi Corporation - Meike Energy.
This project is seen as a perfect victory for China and Japan in the Indonesian energy market, which greatly boosts the confidence of the domestic energy industry to go global.
The consortium of five enterprises fully demonstrated their respective advantages to the Indonesian Ministry of Energy, Indonesia National Oil Company represents Indonesia's state-owned capital, while Bami Resources is one of the most powerful energy companies in Indonesia, while China United Oil is one of the four giants of China's domestic energy industry, with rich overseas investment and exploration and mining experience, Guoquan Energy has long been settled in Indonesia's domestic coal mining industry, and has a wide range of commercial resources and financing channels in Indonesia and Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, China. Tianhua Group, the largest private oil and gas complex in China, acquired a large-scale local refining and chemical enterprise in Anyuan Tongcheng last year, and injected capital to expand the oil terminal, actively preparing for a large-scale entry into the wholesale and retail of refined oil products in the Yangtze River Basin.
The five companies in this project are not the same proportion, the proportion of the two Indonesian enterprises has reached 39 percent, the proportion of China United Oil has reached 25 percent, Guoquan Energy accounts for 12 percent, and Tianhua Group accounts for 24 percent of the shares, and the five parties contribute capital according to the proportion, and the sales are mainly responsible for the sales of Zhonglian Oil and Tianhua Group, and Tianhua Group intends to import liquefied gas to Hubei Province and Anyuan. In contrast, China United Oil mainly sells its share to Guangdong and Fujian provinces.
At the end of the talks, Zhao Guodong sent the group to the elevator door on behalf of Zeng Quanjun, and Zhao Guodong noticed that Wu Youde, the boss of Tianhua Group, seemed to be a little worried, and when he entered the elevator room, he also wanted to say something.
Zhao Guodong was thoughtful.
"Director Zhao, just now Mr. Wu, the boss of Tianhua Group, wants me to leave you a phone number for him." Ouyang Jinhua followed Zhao Guodong into the office and said carefully.
"Oh?" Zhao Guodong was noncommittal, "You gave it to him?" ”
"I gave him your office number." Ouyang Jinhua replied cautiously: "I feel that he seems to have something on his mind and may be looking for you." ”
"Well, I see." Zhao Guodong nodded, Wu Youde is the first person in the private enterprise in the energy field, not that his assets are amazing, but he is the first private enterprise that dares to question the monopoly position of the four domestic petrochemical giants, as early as two years ago, Tianhua Group united many private refining and refining oil enterprises around the country to establish a private petrochemical industry association, he served as the president.
His Tianhua Group is the largest private enterprise in Tongcheng, engaged in coal mining, fine chemicals, agricultural product processing and refined oil management, and is also the largest shareholder and controlling shareholder of the first listed company in Tongcheng - Modern Agricultural Technology.
According to the WTO agreement, the country will open up the wholesale rights of crude oil and refined oil, and foreign multinational energy companies have begun to enter the country in a big way, and Tianhua Group has not had a good relationship with Sinopec and PetroChina in the past year or two, and has been greatly curbed in the channels of obtaining oil products.
But he still underestimated the power of the two major oil giants that belong to the same mother-in-law - the Ministry of Energy, whether they can take this opportunity to get closer to Zhonglian Oil is still difficult to say, at least as far as Zhao Guodong knows, the Ministry of Energy and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission have been exerting pressure on the Ministry of Commerce, requiring the tightening of domestic crude oil and refined oil wholesale management rights and import rights, although it is not necessarily aimed at Tianhua Group, but Tianhua Group is definitely a thorn in one of them.
On this issue, Zhao Guodong is also very hesitant, the house has mentioned this matter with himself, but this is not the jurisdiction of the National Development and Reform Commission, this belongs to the Ministry of Commerce, just like the iron ore import negotiation issue, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, although the National Development and Reform Commission is a related party, but the opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission are only used as a reference for the Ministry of Commerce, and cannot play a decisive role.
Ouyang Jinhua noticed that Zhao Guodong's eyes were gloomy, looking out the window into the distance, but his face was cloudy, knowing that his boss must be thinking about an important matter, he didn't dare to say anything, and wanted to quit quietly, but he was greeted by Zhao Guodong: "Ouyang, don't be busy leaving." ”
Ouyang Jinhua saw that Zhao Guodong seemed to want to make a decision, but he has not been able to make up his mind, and he was a little surprised in his heart, he has been with this boss for almost a year, although Zhao Guodong is young, but he will never drag his feet in doing things, once he has made up his mind, he will not hesitate, and act resolutely, like the issue of fertilizer import rights, which has caused countless criticisms in the domestic fertilizer industry, and even some situations have been directly reflected to the State Council, but Zhao Guodong is not chaotic at all, and still arrange the work in an orderly manner, and the pilot is pushed away, The results received were immediate, and the domestic potash fertilizer prices fell in response, and the provincial agricultural departments were greatly relieved.
"Ouyang, you said that the energy industry is completely monopolized in the hands of the state, is it really because of the needs of national economic security? And does the need for national economic security require that the energy industry must be firmly in the hands of the state? ”
Zhao Guodong suddenly asked without a head or a tail.
In fact, Ouyang Jinhua also vaguely guessed what Zhao Guodong was hesitating about, this kind of question did not give him a chance to speak, but since Zhao Guodong asked him, he couldn't help but answer.
"Director Zhao, I think it is necessary to be in the hands of the state, after all, like the petrochemical industry is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, if the country loses control over this industry, it must be quite dangerous, the question is whether the country's control must be achieved through the monopoly of state-owned enterprises, which I think is worth exploring, not to mention that according to the provisions of the WTO, China is actually open to foreign investment on this issue, and according to the provisions of the "Guidance Manual for Refined Oil Business Enterprises", Some of the barriers, which are insurmountable for privately owned enterprises, are a piece of cake for state-owned giants and multinational enterprises, which is actually suspected of suppressing private enterprises. Ouyang Jinhua said slowly.
In fact, Zhao Guodong and Ouyang Jinhua have discussed this issue many times, but they have not said it as thoroughly as today.
"Now the Ministry of Commerce has not expressed its position on the merger and unification of Shell Petrochemical, it seems that it is also a dilemma, the domestic public sentiment is fierce, and the foreign merger, especially the merger of our domestic influential brand enterprises has a very strong opposition attitude, in fact, I think it is not the problem of foreign mergers and acquisitions of our enterprises, but also the opportunity for foreign capital and private capital and even state-owned assets to a level playing field, in this regard, I think we have not done enough."
Ouyang Jinhua's words are quite in line with Zhao Guodong's appetite, regardless of whether the other party intends to please himself or not, it is not simple to summarize such a point of view, Zhao Guodong nodded, "On these issues, the committee should not be confined to the view of the door and keep silent, I think some attitudes are better to show." ”
Ouyang Jinhua is not easy to talk about, after all, the topic is too high and too high, and it is not for him to express his opinion, so he asked tentatively: "Then if Mr. Wu calls to see you, ?????? you see?"
Zhao Guodong thought about it for a while, seemed to have made a decision, and said slowly: "Push it for the time being, I need to report to Director Quan Jun before making a decision." ”
Do you still have tickets?
