Volume VI Chapter 20 Strategy, Strategy

"The news is accurate?" You Wangang took a deep breath.

"There is no doubt." Sha Zhengyang said with certainty: "So PetroChina is very dissatisfied with the Kazakh government. It is said that it has expressed it through some channels, but there is no result. This also affected their confidence and interest in the Akjiubin Petroleum Company project. Of course, this is a good thing for us, but if we really succeed, I am afraid that someone will inevitably suffer from red-eye."

Sha Zhengyang's words were very explicit, but You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao seemed to have not heard it.

This topic is not easy to follow.

"You keep talking." You Wangang nodded.

"The Kazakh government has relatively abundant domestic oil and gas resources and Kazakhstan's National Oil Company also has a large share in the domestic oil and gas resources field. For example, the Ujin Oilfield is actually just a not-so-large oilfield of Kazakhstan's National Oil Company. In addition, Kazakhstan's domestic, especially the Caspian coastal areas, there are still a large number of oil and gas resources to be explored and developed. They are areas with extremely rich oil and gas resources, but they are relatively weak in refining and chemical areas. The entire Kazakhstan's refining capacity is seriously insufficient, which directly makes Kazakhstan's own refined oil rely heavily on foreign imports, which is inconsistent with Kazakhstan's grand goal of building a petrochemical power. Therefore, companies 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 replace it with part of the equity, JP Morgan and I think it is very likely to exchange for Ujin Oilfield shares, and at least we can exchange for more shares of Akjiubin Oil Company."

You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao both understood Sha Zhengyang's intention, that is, Changhe Energy Group should not be limited to the project of Akjiubin Petroleum Company, but should be more lofty. It should not be considered as simply taking over the project of Akjiubin Petroleum Company and mining crude oil and transporting it back to China. It can cleverly combine Kazakhstan's demand for refining and chemical resources to make a big game.

Taking over the Orsk refinery will not only stabilize the basic direction of crude oil in Akjiubin Petroleum, but also take advantage of the situation to get involved in Russia's petrochemical industry, and at the same time, if the Kazakh government can be brought in.

For Kazakhstan, it can not only win the favor of the Kazakhstan government in exchange for a richer return on oil and gas resources, but also allow Kazakhstan National Oil Company to invest in it and also give Russia more concerns when it restarts nationalization after Putkin takes office.

After all, Kazakhstan has always maintained close relations with Russia in the CIS, and the country is also the strongest. Once it triggers conflict between the two countries, it will definitely be detrimental to Russia's future ambitions of a great power.

As a rebirth, Sha Zhengyang knew very well that it should be the last chance to enter the Russian oil and gas field in the next two or three years.

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

That is, after 2000, Pukin came to power. It turned out that in some mining industries that were related to national economy and people's livelihood, the privatization policy in the financial sector suddenly turned, which not only made many Russian oligarchs lose their worries, but also put many Occupies entering the oil and gas field in trouble.

How to handle the relationship between investment and development with the Russian government after the turn has also become a headache story for constant disputes between Occupy oil companies and even Western countries and the Russian government.

"Zhengyang, your game is really big enough. I was already prepared enough, but I was still scared by your appetite." You Wangang sighed infinitely, but the hope in his eyes became stronger. "I was very satisfied with Akjiubin Oil Company's annual output of 3 million tons of crude oil, but I didn't expect that you would hide a production capacity of 8 million tons of Ujin Oilfield for me..."

"No, no, senior official You, don't listen to the bad. The current Wujin Oilfield does not have this strength. It is expected to reach that level after repair. It may take two or three years to go." Sha Zhengyang quickly interrupted You Wangang's imagination. Don't understand the bad one.

"What's the point of two or three years?" You Wangang said proudly: "I have used Changhe Oil to rise to a maximum of 2.6 million tons after more than ten years. I think that even if we further increase the exploration efforts and have to be smooth in all aspects, it will be expected to increase the output of 6 million tons to 8 million tons within ten years. This is the limit. And you have to know that this crude oil is a non-renewable resource. One barrel of mining is less than one barrel. If we can get 3 million barrels of Akjiubin, even if we get half of the Ujin production capacity of 4 million barrels, it will be an extremely huge victory. No matter what kind of effort it will be worth it!"

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

Indeed, he is very clear about how much China's demand and dependence on crude oil will be in the next twenty years, especially the rising dependence on foreign countries, which has made the central government uneasy, especially the threat from the Strait of Malacca, which has made the central government realize that energy security has reached an urgent point.

It can be said that the reason why new energy vehicles can run blindly in China in the future is forced to do so is it forced, but the demand for crude oil is still extremely hungry, even when Sha Zhengyang was reborn, this is no solution.

The central government has begun to realize what the rising crude oil imports mean, and it also knows what the increase in dependence on crude oil from the Persian Gulf means. The huge risks hidden in the Strait of Malacca force a big country to be fully prepared in advance. This is a basic requirement for the energy security strategy of a big country.

The China-Russia and China-Kazakhstan oil and gas pipelines will start one after another in the near future, and Changhe Energy can completely act as a pioneer. This is in line with the economic interests of Changhe Energy Group and the strategic interests of China's country. It can be said that killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone. Even if you take some risks, it is absolutely worth it.

What Sha Zhengyang wanted was that You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao could also think of, but they never expected that Sha Zhengyang would use such a big move as soon as he came, which made them unable to digest for a while.

After pondering for a long time, You Wan said: "Zhengyang, I have to say that your plan is too tempting. Personally, I cannot refuse. I believe that the same is true for Guangbiao. However, the acquisition funds involved in the Akjiubin project only require billions of dollars. Well, I know you want to say that JP Morgan can assist in financing, but this also involves the investment, funds, personnel, and transportation of Akjiubin Oil Company in the future. The Olsk refinery, the pipelines from Akjiubin to Atlau and Akjiubin, and the Ujin project, are too huge, so huge that I guess the two leaders of Zhou Wang would not dare to make the decision. In the end, I am afraid to go to the central level to consider it...."

"Governor You, if the central government comes to coordinate, I am worried that there will be no show about our Changhe Petroleum. Petroleum is the eldest son, so it will definitely take over directly." Sha Zhengyang had to remind him.

Of course, You Wangang understood this, so he nodded and gently clicked on the table like playing a piano.

"So I think we should go through several steps and take the Akjiubin project first. Sixty percent of the equity can already give us the dominant position. We can quickly resume production to prove our strength and ability to the Kazakh government, so that we can lay a solid foundation for the next step of action, and..."

Zhong Guangbiao continued: "And we won the Akjiubin project and also proved to the central government that if anyone wants to make trouble in the future, he will be unable to convince the public. It is all for national interests. At the same time, I am afraid that we should still talk about coming first and coming later and being fair and just."

"Yes, that's what I mean. In business competition, we must be good at using struggle strategies." You Wangang smiled, "Some we need to take small steps and some need to make plans and move later."

Sha Zhengyang also understood that You Wangang's point of view was correct. In terms of difficulty and risk, it was indeed too advanced. This is a state-owned enterprise, not a private enterprise. Even private enterprises need to have enough time to make due diligence, and it is such a huge investment project.

"Then Minister You, what should we do next?" Sha Zhengyang asked.

"We will take the plane back to Handu tonight. Call that Minister Mo together." You Wangang took a deep breath, "I will call Secretary Zhou and Senior Official Wang to report immediately, and ask them to make time to listen to the special report tomorrow morning. Such a big thing is so urgent, so I can only handle special matters."

Sha Zhengyang was also helpless. Ji Meifu had just arrived in Beijing, but she wanted to leave Beijing and return to Handu. This reception was too unreliable.

Fortunately, he probably would have to come back within two or three days.

Once the province has finalized it, it will be officially signed with JP Morgan and jointly launched the bidding for this project. I am afraid the next step is to go directly to Almaty.

After telling me to book the air ticket quickly, Sha Zhengyang, You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao relaxed.

The main business has basically been finalized, and I just waited for the two main leaders to make the decision and came to an end and was ready to enter the next stage.

"Zhengyang, you must be mentally prepared. Once the province decides, you may have to stay in Kazakhstan for a while. At least you have to wait until the project bid is successful and the project company is formed to take over successfully before you can get out." Zhong Guangbiao reminded: "What needs to be arranged at home, make arrangements in advance."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhong, I'm just alone and there's nothing to arrange. One person can eat enough, and the whole family won't be hungry." Sha Zhengyang said with a smile.
