Sha Zhengyang is as stable as a dog.

Since she knew that she was unable to change something, Sha Zhengyang simply didn't ask for anything, didn't think about anything, and just kept the children at home honestly.

In just over a week, you can get a rough direction in ten days, and it is unlikely to delay for a long time. This is also good.

Sha Zhengyang just kept taking care of his children at home in the morning, took a nap at noon, and walked around Qilin Hill or Baihua Mountain Park in the afternoon. It was great.

Occasionally, I could receive calls from Ye Hetai, Sang Qianwei, Guo Yeshan, Qu Xiaowei, and Lu Ya, chat for a few words, and even Qian Zhengduo secretly called, asking Sha Zhengyang if he was going to Anxiang to serve as Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

I can go out for a meal with Zhong Guangbiao or Ning Yuechan and the others from time to time in the evening. I am really comfortable. I have never been so relaxed before.

But Sha Zhengyang knew that this was not the life he wanted.

Zhong Guangbiao is really leaving, and the rumors are really not groundless. The Organization Department of the Central Committee has come to investigate and the destination is CNOOC.

History has been changed again, Zhong Guangbiao once again stepped into the threshold of state-owned enterprises, and the challenges facing CNOOC are no smaller than when he was with Changhe Group, especially when Changhe Group's overseas strategy has already achieved quite outstanding performance. What should CNOOC do?

Should we face the competition with CNPC and Changhe, take the overseas development strategy, or find another way? This is what Zhong Guangbiao needs to consider carefully.

He called Sha Zhengyang together for two consecutive days. Zhong Guangbiao wanted to get some inspiration from Sha Zhengyang, but Sha Zhengyang really felt that this was a bit difficult.

CNOOC is undoubtedly a minor generation in front of Sinopec and CNOOC. Now it is not as good as the long-term in total assets and development potential. However, it is a central enterprise after all, and based on offshore and overseas strategies is CNOOC's way out. However, if the foundation of the retail and refining ends cannot be consolidated, then CNOOC's future path will be difficult, especially when the "two small" Zhongchanghe Petroleum has taken the lead, how can it catch up?

Sha Zhengyang's advice to Zhong Guangbiao was that it was still time to deploy the retail end of the coastal areas, but if it dragged on for another two or three years, I'm afraid that when the capital advantage of CNPC after its listing began to gradually emerge, CNPC would really not have many opportunities.

In addition, the current scale and development prospects of CNOOC are not optimistic. It is already quite difficult to implement the going-out strategy by relying solely on block acquisitions. If possible, we should consider targeting some large oil companies with large asset scale but currently poor performance through overall mergers and acquisitions, and this requires support from the state.

However, considering that if you want to acquire a large oil company, you may encounter scrutiny and hostility from foreign governments, if CNOOC really wants to take this step, it needs to analyze the acquisition target as early as possible, start planning and layout as soon as possible, and at the same time, it is necessary to decorate itself with the commercial nature and international image of Hong Kong listed companies. In addition, measures should be taken to implement image shaping and build itself into a successful global enterprise.

This is also an opportunity brought by the memory of previous lives. CNOOC's acquisition of Unicorn was also a major event in the domestic business and energy industry at that time. The country was shocked. If there was an excellent opportunity, CNOOC failed to seize it for various reasons, or underestimated the hostility of the Americans, resulting in a commercial acquisition that was originally mixed with political factors and eventually failed. It is also a pity.

It is only February 2003, and there is still time left before that century acquisition. It can even be said that neither CNOOC nor UNICO have thought about the acquisition and sale. However, UNICO's current operating decline has long been revealed. The continued losses have made shareholders a little impatient. The consideration for selling has long been, but it has not been revealed yet. Once there is a suitable opportunity to contact, I believe that the shareholders and management of UNICO, who have not been kidnapped by politics, will be interested in CNOOC, the buyer.

Sha Zhengyang did not give Zhong Guangbiao a specific acquisition target, but Sha Zhengyang clearly told Zhong Guangbiao that if CNOOC wants to get rid of the most embarrassing situation of "two big and two small", it must have a bold and bold idea to make breakthroughs. The acquisition of large international oil companies is a key measure. This not only enriches CNOOC's own oil and gas resources, especially natural gas resources, but also should be able to obtain more talent resources and operational experience from large international oil and gas companies. Both of these are of extraordinary significance.

Zhong Guangbiao did not express his opinion on Sha Zhengyang's suggestion, and he is still a window of investigation. Although theoretically, he will take office at CNOOC soon as nothing unexpected happens, after all, the document has not been issued. This is just a private communication between him and Sha Zhengyang, and he has always trusted Sha Zhengyang's vision and vision.

Sha Zhengyang was not in a hurry. After Zhong Guangbiao took office, he still had time to discuss this issue with Zhong Guangbiao slowly. I believe that CNOOC's own research institutions will also find suitable goals according to Zhong Guangbiao's intentions, and Unicorn will definitely be among them.

For Sha Zhengyang, his own problem was still undecided, which surprised him.

It seems that the coordination between the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Central Committee is really a bit stalemate, but it won't be too long.

*******

At 15:46 pm on February 16, Sha Zhengyang received a call from Xu Xiangqing, asking him to come to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department immediately.

Sha Zhengyang knew that the dust had settled. Before that, he knew that he might have to go to a nearby province, but he was not sure which province he would go to. The rumor may be that a province between Qin and Pingyuan Province, and even had a slight rumor. Some said that Qin Province served as the deputy secretary of the Chang'an Municipal Party Committee, some said that Pingyuan served as the mayor of Luo City, and some said that Zhongzhou served as the mayor.

On the way to the provincial party committee, Sha Zhengyang finally received reliable news and decided to go to Pingyuan Province and will serve as the mayor of Zhongzhou City, the provincial capital.

This news shocked Sha Zhengyang slightly. He once thought that he might go to Chang'an to serve as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, which was the greatest possibility. Chang'an is a deputy provincial city and the center of the northwest. If he could polish the position of deputy secretary of the Chang'an Municipal Party Committee for a few years, it would be a high probability that he would become the mayor of Chang'an in the future. Then he could also show his ambitions in Chang'an, but unexpectedly he went to Zhongzhou.

How could it be Zhongzhou?! This question plagued Sha Zhengyang and made him a little difficult to understand for a while, but if he savored it carefully, Sha Zhengyang felt why it could not be Zhongzhou?

Pingyuan Province is the largest province in China, located in the heart of the Central Plains, with a rich labor force and a lag in urbanization. It has always been the largest labor force export province, and the pressure to develop the economy is very huge.

It can be said that 90 million people need to become rich and prosperous under the leadership of the Pingyuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. This is a super problem, even surpassing the economic concept, but it is a real political problem. Zhongzhou, as the provincial capital, is the first to bear the brunt.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, although Zhongzhou has established its leading position in the province after years of development, its leading role as the provincial capital has not been truly exerted, or its development potential is huge, but it has not been discovered. Compared with other neighboring provinces, Wuhan is far from Hubei, Chengdu is Sichuan, and Xi'an is far from that, let alone Changchun is in Jilin, and Harbin is in Heilongjiang.

Of course, this may be related to the huge population base of the plain province, but there is no doubt that Zhongzhou, as a provincial capital city with an excellent geographical location, is definitely a bit ashamed compared to other provincial capital cities. The development of its secondary and tertiary industries, its urbanization process, its economic driving role and radiating influence, and its position in the entire provincial capital city of the country are relatively weak.

Why did he choose to serve as the mayor of Zhongzhou City? Sha Zhengyang probably has this consideration for the Central Committee.

Especially during the more than one year when I served as assistant mayor of Handu and secretary-general of the municipal party committee who also served as secretary of the Party Working Committee of the two districts, Handu's economic development ushered in an era of great explosion. It is probably at this time that the central government had already made plans in this regard, otherwise it would not have gone to the Central Party School to study and aid Xinjiang. This is all about accumulating qualifications for myself so that I can successfully serve in Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou is not a sub-provincial city, but as the capital city of the country's largest population province, as a railway transportation hub city that occupies the center of the entire land, as a capital city of a large inland province whose industry and service economy is still in a relatively backward state, as a capital city of a large province that can only rely on a large amount of labor to solve the employment and income increase of surplus labor, Zhongzhou's status is not lighter than that of a sub-provincial city. It can be said that its development directly affects the development nerve of the entire plain province.

A population of 7 million is not too much for a large inland province with a population of more than 90 million, but for a city with a relatively large number of secondary and tertiary industries, it is also not easy to make this city rise rapidly. Not only does it have to digest a large amount of rural surplus labor in its own population of 7 million and quickly promote the process of industrialization and urbanization, but it also plays a demonstration role in absorbing employment and increasing income for the remaining 80 million people in the province. Sha Zhengyang estimated that this might be the intention of the central government to put himself in this position.

After all, my reputation for being good at economic work has long been spread. The industrial poverty alleviation strategy implemented in Wuling as deputy director of the Hanchuan Provincial Development and Planning Commission, and the cultivation of emerging industries in Hancheng City are enough to prove their strength and confidence.
