Lu Tonghao's office and Sha Zhengyang's office are generally the same decoration style, but they also have some of their own flavors.

For example, if a banner is hung in the center, "The best is like water". It is difficult for Sha Zhengyang to understand the meaning of this profound and extensive meaning, and only the hanging person can guess it himself.

"Zhengyang, come and sit down. Mr. Zhong said you like to drink tea. This is the frozen oolong brought back by a friend of mine from Taiwan. It is said to be absolutely authentic. You can try it."

Lu Tonghao made tea specifically for Sha Zhengyang, which surprised Sha Zhengyang. It seemed that his reputation for drinking tea was spread, which was both a good thing and a bad thing.

A good thing is that you like to drink tea, and you can also spread your reputation. You don’t like anything else. If you have any ideas, don’t make any decisions. A bad thing is that tea has high or low levels. If someone is trying to figure it out in this regard, that’s also annoying.

Sha Zhengyang picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was sweet and rich, and it was indeed very distinctive.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, this tea is good, with a pleasant aroma and a great taste." Sha Zhengyang does like good tea very much, but it is not just obsessed with it, it is just a hobby in words.

"Well, it seems that my friend didn't lie to me. I have no research on tea and don't understand it." Lu Tonghao was very happy.

"Taiwan Nantou Frozen Oolong is very famous. It may not be famous in our mainland, but it is very famous in Fujian." Sha Zhengyang introduced, "This is semi-fermented tea, and the taste is very unique. It is different from the tea here. It is best to use a teapot to make tea."

"There are so many things to pay attention to." Lu Tonghao said casually.

Seeing Lu Tonghao's expression, he knew that this was an amateur. Sha Zhengyang was too lazy to say more, "If you are running outside for a long time, you should bring a bigger tea cup, which is also of great benefit to sobering up and refreshing the spirit."

"That was also caused by your boy. I have been exhausted over the past few months. When I go home, I go to bed at 8 or 9 o'clock. I can sleep until seven or eight o'clock the next morning. This is a good thing. It has cured the bad sleep problem." Lu Tonghao sighed quite emotionally.

"How is the progress? This is what you are going to tell me today, right?" Sha Zhengyang leaned on the back of the sofa, took a leisurely teacup and took a sip, and slowly put it down.

"Well, I want to tell you about this. This matter was originally mentioned by you, but you left after you said it. Now it's my turn and my people below to suffer." Lu Tonghao exclaimed, "However, I am full of confidence in this matter. If it can be done as you originally thought, our Changhe Energy Group may not be able to compete with China National Petroleum Corporation and Sinopec in the future."

"It may be a bit difficult to compete, but if we can spread along the Yangtze River Basin, it is equivalent to occupying the heart of our hearts. This area should be the most active area in China's future economy. Moreover, you can guide Northwest China from the top and South China from the bottom, so the location is excellent and urgent."

Sha Zhengyang's words made Lu Tonghao feel the same, "It is indeed urgent. In the past two months, I have traveled to four provinces, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, and Sichuan. Each province has traveled to three to four economically developed cities to check the distribution of gas stations and the construction of highways on the spot. I think the issues of highway construction and gas station exclusiveness you mentioned are very critical. Although the distribution of gas stations in urban areas and suburbs and national highways is not saturated, the old pattern has been formed. Need to compete head-on and invest a lot, the effect may not be revealed at once, but the expressways are different."

"Are you going to make a breakthrough in the expressway?" Sha Zhengyang frowned, "Mr. Lu, I am frank, expressways are indeed the direction of development, but this is a long-term construction process, but we only have more than a year now. I think we should first focus on economically developed cities, especially in the development direction of these key cities. In the future, the popularity of private cars in cities will be far beyond our imagination. How to seize the initiative in the competition with Sinopec, must be the first to intervene in this area."

Lu Tonghao couldn't help but sigh, "Zhengyang, I'm going to tell you, I don't know this truth, but you know that the urbanization process is accelerating now. There are so many provinces along the Yangtze River, and each province has three or five cities with better economical economy. You have to layout three or five gas stations in each city. This is not counted in the lower counties, only in urban areas. Then, it will have to be close to two hundred gas stations. According to the average inland area of ​​each gas station, if it is acquired, it will range from 800,000 to 1.2 million. If it is newly built, it will be cheaper, and it can be done between 500,000 and 800,000. The price of coastal areas is about 40% higher than that of the same area in the same area in the inner road. Of course, in cities like Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Nanjing, these two hundred gas stations alone, whether they are acquired or newly built, they have to invest 200 to 300 million,..."

"200? 200 to 300 million?" Sha Zhengyang sneered, "Mr. Lu, you are too conservative. The number of gas stations must increase at least one to two times, of course, including the acquisition or new construction of gas stations at some national highways. As for investment, if 500 million cannot be obtained, it will be 1 billion, and if 1 billion cannot be obtained, it will be 2 billion, or even 5 billion. This is the key to the prosperity of Changhe Energy in the future. You cannot fall behind at all, nor should you fall behind!"

Lu Tonghao thought that although he was a little conservative in his report, he was still shocked by Sha Zhengyang's lion's big mouth.

600, 5 billion? You kid are so angry, but think about it, this kid just spent more than 2 billion in Kazakhstan, and he really dares to speak up this crazy saying.

"Zhengyang, have you considered the current financial and financing issues of the group?" Lu Tonghao frowned, "The Akjiubin project has invested more than 2 billion yuan. Although it is through financing, the debt is there. Now Dongshen Coal Industry's expansion of production has been put on the agenda. The plan has been approved by the Provincial Government and the State Planning Commission. The expansion plans of Fuhu and Changliu Coal Industry have also been approved at the Provincial Government Executive Meeting. It is expected to be launched in the second half of this year. The financial situation of the group is very tense now."

"No need to mention the Akjiubin project, it is a key step in the top 500 strategy of the provincial party committee and government and the group's overseas strategy. It must be taken, but I am not optimistic about the expansion of production in the three major coal industries." Sha Zhengyang pondered, "I know that coal prices are still rising this year, but I think this is already facing a period of extreme prosperity and decline. At this time, we cannot blindly expand production."

Lu Tonghao was surprised, "Zhengyang, I know you mentioned that coal prices are about to reach their peak, but the coal prices are still very impressive this year."

"It's just a reflection of the future, and the true form will be revealed at the latest in the first half of next year." Sha Zhengyang said decisively.

It would be a waste not to pretend to be a fool and show your extraordinary vision at this time.

Not only did he pretend to be like this in front of Lu Tonghao, he was also planning to be extremely cool at the Party Committee of the group company, and even go to the province to pretend to be like a person.

Seeing that Sha Zhengyang said so affirmatively, Lu Tonghao was also a little puzzled.

No one dares to guarantee this kind of price rise and fall. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you Sha Zhengyang pretend to behave in front of you, but if you want to convince You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao, or even the relevant leaders of the provincial party committee and government, that is not something you can do with a slander.

Then you have to come up with the basis, what should you do?

"Even if the Party Committee of the Group and the Provincial Government agree with your view, I guess neither the Provincial Government nor the Party Committee of the Group would agree to you if you want to invest such a large-scale new construction and merger funds." Lu Tonghao still shook his head.

Sha Zhengyang also knew that the group company could find ways to convince him for 300 million yuan of new construction and acquisition funds, but for tens of billions, even the province would not agree.

No one dares to predict the next market trend. From a macro perspective, the demand for refined oil will indeed show an upward trend, but this should be a long-term process. It would be a bit too reckless to achieve it overnight.

"Mr. Lu, so we find a way to convince the Party Committee of the Group and the province. In addition, we also need to find ways to raise funds from multiple sources. If we want to compete with Sinopec in the future, then we must fight for this step. One or two billion is not much. Hundreds of gas stations are a piece of cake for Sinopec. Not to mention that we are very different from them. If we don't find a way to catch up, we will be out of reach in the future."

Sha Zhengyang paused, "Mr. Lu, you have already started the acquisition strategy in Wuhan and Chengdu in the early stage. How is the progress?"

"The acquisition of 9 have been completed and 17 have been negotiated initially, and it is expected to cost about 22 million yuan. In addition, there are 23 gas stations in Nanjing and Hangzhou. If the negotiations can be reached, the estimated investment will be around 45 million yuan." Lu Tonghao smiled bitterly, "Mr. Zhong has planned 120 million yuan for me. I have not even reached one-fifth of my goal, so I have to spend half of my funds."

"What about the progress of negotiations with local governments in various provinces?" Sha Zhengyang also found it difficult.

In the past life, people invested tens of billions of dollars in the capital, and acquired thousands of newly built gas stations. According to this situation, even if Changhe Energy Group takes the lead in time, you still can't compete with others. This is not a PK in the same level at all. How can you win?
