Volume 6, Chapter 50
"We have also felt some changes and requirements of the central government for its energy security strategy. With the increasing dependence on crude oil on foreign countries in my country, energy security strategy has become increasingly important."
Sha Zhengyang knew that it was inappropriate to emphasize the interests of enterprises. Today he was reported here by the State Council. Although it was a blind emphasis on Han and Chuan Province that made the Zhou and Kings happy, it was difficult to obtain the support and attention of the State Council and relevant departments, but this was the main purpose of today's report.
Without the support of the State Council and ministries, it would be very difficult for Changhe Energy Group to conduct business smoothly in Kazakhstan. Therefore, he must emphasize that Changhe Energy Group is not only concerned about the interests of the enterprise, nor is it just striving for the top 500 goals of the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, but also contributes to the central government's energy security strategy.
"But looking at the current situation, although the central government has begun to focus on energy security strategies, its pace is still slow and its movement is small, which is extremely inconsistent with the growth rate of our country's crude oil imports, especially the current economic downturn in Central Asia and Russia. This area should be the best time for us to enter. Once we miss it, we may pay more if we want to get such an opportunity in the future. Therefore, we believe that we, Changhe Energy Group, must seize this opportunity."
Sha Zhengyang doesn’t care about the fact that there are CNPC and Sinopec in the market. Since it has been spread out, Changhe Energy Group doesn’t care about these companies now.
What we need to do is to win the support and recognition of the leaders of the State Council, and then let the central ministries and commissions also recognize and support Changhe Energy's overseas strategy from the national level. As long as this goal is achieved, it will be successful.
As for the CNPC and Sinopec, let’s wait until they split up next year.
I believe that by that time, whether it is China National Petroleum Corporation, Sinopec, or even CNOOC, if you want to enter Central Asia and Russia, it is hard to say whether Changhe Energy Group is their partner or competitor.
Maybe it is a competitor for this company and a partner for the other company. Sha Zhengyang is really looking forward to it.
"From the current source of oil imports in our country, we are basically concentrated in the Middle East, but we should all be clear that as a big country, concentrating energy demand in one area does not meet security needs, especially since this area itself is a hot spot and poses a great risk of war."
Sha Zhengyang noticed that his topic obviously attracted more attention from all parties outside Hanchuan Province.
"At the same time, whether from the Middle East or Africa, they must pass through the Strait of Malacca, which is also easily controlled by a strong maritime military power, posing a threat to our country's energy strategy. Therefore, we must give priority to the principle of risk dispersion. The oil and gas in Russia and Central Asia and the sources that can avoid intervention by other extraterritorial military powers should be our most suitable source channels for risk avoidance, no doubt."
"Based on this, we suggest that the central government should consider coordinating the Kazakhstan government from a national perspective and seriously considering the construction of the China-Kazakhstan oil and gas pipeline from China to Kazakhstan. At the same time, this pipeline should also be able to extend to Central Asian countries such as Russia and Turkmenistan. This will not only help ensure our energy supply, but also strengthen the economic ties between the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in this way. This is of great significance to stabilizing the rear of our Northwest Greater, and it is also beneficial and harmless."
It is still refreshing to be able to rise from energy to the entire economic level and then bring in the strategic significance of the higher-level "Shanghai Cooperation Organization". Even if this is the case, it is still very refreshing. Especially since Changhe Energy Group is just a provincial enterprise, this significance is different.
Although the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked thoughtful after his eyes lit up, Vice Premier Hong nodded slightly with a smile, obviously he still admired Sha Zhengyang's view.
When Sha Zhengyang's additional introduction in the name of Changhe Energy Group ended, the entire report meeting entered the stage of inquiry and reconciliation.
Wang Yunxiang and Sha Zhengyang explained the purpose, significance and feasibility of the overseas strategy launched by Changhe Energy Group, a state-owned enterprise in Hanchuan, from different angles, and even briefly introduced the initial conception plans and steps. This question is even placed before the State Council and relevant ministries and commissions.
The attitude has actually become clear. Vice Premier Hong convened relevant departments and units to attend the meeting to listen to opinions. It is actually a gesture, and he can talk about problems, difficulties and risks, but this work must be supported.
All of you here are humans, so you naturally understand the mystery. However, as a functional department, you must also reflect your sense of existence, and of course you will also point out the problems and express your attitude.
After Fang Jinsong asked Vice Premier Hong for instructions, he began to name the name, starting from the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Engineering, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Trade and the Export-Import Bank of China and asked them to make a macro-judgment of the Akjiubin project of Changhe Energy Group from their respective perspectives.
It is just a macro assessment. The specific behavior is a problem of the company itself. You can bear the risks at your own risk. From a macro perspective, what problems and positive significance exist should be proposed for reference by the leaders.
The statement from the Ministry of Geology and Minerals is undoubtedly very positive.
The dispute between Changhe Energy Group and PetroChina in Hanchuan has been going on for many years, and the contradictions caused by exploration rights and mining rights have become a major factor affecting local stability.
And to be honest, the increasing shortage of domestic oil and gas resources and the increasing cost of mining have become an indisputable fact. It is also a must-see in the long run to expand overseas. This is true for Changhe Energy, and for CNPC, Sinopec and CNOOC. And the earlier the better, the faster the better, and the greater the strength, the better.
The attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also positive and positive.
The establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a major measure for China to get out of isolation on the diplomatic stage. Although China pursues the policy of independence, self-reliance and non-alignment, independence and non-alignment does not mean that it does not actively participate in international and regional organizations that are conducive to safeguarding its own interests.
Especially although the areas involved in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization are relatively narrow, this is only now that the relevant countries are increasingly close and the rapid development of China's economy will surely show its economic significance. The China-Kazakhstan oil and gas pipeline proposed by Changhe Energy Group is undoubtedly a very good breakthrough and attempt. On this issue, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a clear attitude.
The State Planning Commission also expressed caution support. Signs of state-owned enterprises going overseas have begun to show signs, but more are in central enterprises and some construction labor fields.
It is not easy for a local state-owned enterprise to take this step with such courage. It will also encourage enterprises in other provinces and cities, but this also means that there will be risks of going overseas. Therefore, the State Planning Commission's attitude is to firmly support it, but risk assessment is needed.
The most important thing is the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, which is also the key to the Changhe Energy Group. If the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has a more positive attitude, Hanchuan will not adopt such a curved strategy.
In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics also complained about Hanchuan's method, but Hanchuan also took care of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics and Economics. It only guided the State Council to pay attention to it through a situation analysis article. After the Zhou king arrived in Beijing, he also visited the main leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics, so there was a relatively appropriate explanation on this issue.
Vice Premier Hong's positive attitude is more critical. Such a report has actually set the tone for the next step of work, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics naturally understands it.
Of course, as the competent department, some issues must be raised. Not only should the head of the country understand the professionalism of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation in this regard, but also a detailed statement of the specific actions of Changhe Energy Group. The key is to set an ambush for other steps reserved in the next step.
"Assistant Sha, we noticed that you mentioned that the construction of oil pipelines from Kenkiyak oilfield to Aktao and Atlau immediately after completing the Aktao project. We also know that this is mainly carried out from the perspective of optimizing the operation of Aktao Oil Company. We even noticed that you have other ideas on the construction of oil and gas pipelines, but we think that the construction of oil and gas pipelines may even be more sensitive than the oil field project itself, the investment will be greater, and the requirements will be more professional. I wonder how you consider this issue?"
Faced with the gentle and polite questioning of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs, Sha Zhengyang sighed lightly in his heart, and he still came. He watched such a large piece of fat meat swallow it in one bite. There might even be a series of broth in the future, no one would ignore it. Even if they still refuse to give up because of the institutional reform and separation plan.
This is what CNPC and CNOOC asked on behalf of CNPC.
From another perspective, this also represents the interests of the central government, or to put it more high-level. They think they can represent the interests of the country more. If you are Changhe Energy Group, then you have to be one level lower.
Being taken first does not mean that you can stop taking everyone to play, and it does not mean that your family can eat alone.
I looked at Zhou Wang You and others in the head next to me. In fact, everyone had expected this problem before and could not avoid it. Then I had to face it. Zhou Wang and others were also mentally prepared and authorized it.
However, Sha Zhengyang has his own strategy to deal with the state-owned enterprises whose competitors and partnerships have not yet been determined but are already eyeing them.
