Energy Group

Section 281 State Council (2)

The big picture has passed. Both of them know that the real difference of interest is next. In the past, most of the energy group’s sales were controlled by the'government'. You can see who they sold to. Now Energy The group has basically reached an annual output of one billion tons, and it can reach 1.1 billion tons of environmentally friendly oil at the end of the year. It is possible that the absolute sales volume of the source group is only 180 million tons of Korea National Petroleum Corporation and 100 million tons of ExxonMobil. Taiwan Confucius’ 30 million tons, Taiwan’s Hongmen 20 million tons, domestic scattered sales of 10 million tons, only 340 million tons, only accounted for 34% of the total sales, the remaining 100 Fifty-sixths of the total are basically rounded up by the three major domestic oil groups. If the energy group simply sells its shares, this is also a considerable amount of income, but this part is basically abandoned under the high-pressure policy of the'government' Profit.

You must know that these shares sold by the Energy Group are not for nothing, but all buyers paid real money. The Kong family paid for a large home appliance store and three top hotels in Taiwan, and South Korea paid for it. It’s even bigger. Now the entire National Petroleum Group is owned by Li Cong, and Exxon Mobil is Li Cong’s opening ceremony for the Skeleton and Bones. This is why the Skull and Bones attaches so much importance to Li Cong, and Hongmen is in exchange for it. The position of a dragon master.

It is impossible to say that several major domestic oil companies have helped Li Cong. If there is no support from the'government', the construction of several major domestic bases will certainly not be so fast, and the public security cannot be so good. After all, A good security guard is not as good as a regular army. Then again, this is also a way for the state to master Li Cong.

The prime minister's meaning is very clear. The current share is set in this way. There should not be any changes, but Li Cong wants the state to provide some policy support. For example, Li Cong's other domestic investments can be given proper care by the'government'. After all, it is definitely more important to get support from the'government' to do business in China than to have a large number of customers.

"Xiao Li, I think the energy group will continue to expand. Can you tell me the truth, what development plan does your group have in the past five years?" The prime minister said this seemingly unintentionally, but he actually asked for an idea. On the above, the'government' also has a bottom line. Even if Li Cong takes back his share, it will be fine, but it is absolutely necessary to ensure that each base of the energy group must be built in the country and cannot go abroad. This is the most important thing.

"Our group has exchanged views with the International Energy Organization. According to the current world oil demand, we must reach 1.6 billion tons of output within a year next year, otherwise the international energy supply chain will be broken. I better understand the danger of a rupture of the energy supply chain, which may cause a global economic recession at that time, just like the energy crisis of the 1970s." Li never said hurriedly. The organization is carried out. Anyway, the Prime Minister knows more about these matters than we do. It is necessary to create some pressure. These years, China has been demanding a market economy status. It is impossible to restrict a private enterprise too much.

"1.6 billion tons, um, it's not a small output. Xiao Li, you have to know that Energy Group is no longer a simple enterprise. It involves too many interests. Now your Qingdao base is your largest base. If you continue to expand, I think this place will become another Persian Gulf in ten years. The energy war has never been small over the years. Have you considered in this regard.” The prime minister did not follow Li Cong’s line , But introduced Li Cong into another aspect. This is very simple. Now Li Cong will certainly not have any self-protection ability, and these aspects have to rely on the state.

Now the Qingdao base is basically under the jurisdiction of the North Sea Fleet, and the warships patrolling the offshore waters of Qingdao every day also regard the energy group's offshore areas as routine patrol areas. It can be said that this is the key defense area of ​​the North Sea Fleet, which is also omitted. For Li Cong's many troubles, at least there is no need to consider the invasion of a large number of spies from the sea. Some domestic pirates see that there are warships escorting them, but they are afraid to trouble the energy group. From this alone, Li Cong should be grateful to the country.

"Prime Minister, does the country want to withdraw the protection of the energy group?" Li Cong was a bit "confused". Naturally, the Prime Minister would not be aimless when he said that. If he loses the protection of the army, Li Cong will build a complete set of his own The security system may be very costly. Although the central computer can build a security system that is higher than that of the military, it is too time-consuming. If the plan shows that everything goes well, it will take about four years. God knows what will happen in four years. Status.

"Hehe, of course not. Don’t be nervous. I’ll just talk about it casually. You used to develop these things. The country arranged for you. You didn’t say anything. It’s great, but now that you join the Skull and Bones, we have to make it clear. Skull and Bones You can master half of the world. You are a member of the Skull and Bones. Will the Skull and Bones send their people to help you maintain law and order? For example, they will send a US military team to help you maintain all of this. That would involve On the issue of sovereignty, you know that China will never allow foreign troops to enter Chinese territory under any name, so will you consider moving the base abroad?" At the beginning, he said some useless things, but at the end Li, who often asked, never knew how to answer.

Li has never planned to move the base abroad. You must know that the current transportation is also a big problem, such as the United States and Europe. It takes only half a month to arrive at every turn, although it can bring profits for his own ocean group. , But in the long run, the energy group is going to the world. To be a large multinational company, always putting eggs in one basket is not the case.

Li Cong feels that the country will not allow himself to open overseas bases, but this is also a path he must take, and there are many difficulties. Now the energy group has not opened a base without the help of the “government”. Some “government” legal recruitment methods, security regulations and other issues are also one of the obstacles for the energy group to have no overseas base plan at this stage, but the right to open this must be retained, otherwise it will only be a large Chinese enterprise in the future. Countries in the world will not have much influence.

"Prime Minister, we haven't gotten the agenda for the opening of overseas bases yet. We still need strong support from the'government' in China. In terms of security, I think we still have to follow the current methods of the'government'. For domestic bases, Security will not allow the Skull and Bones to'intervene'." Li Cong also gave the Prime Minister a promise in disguise that the Skull and Bones would reach out to mainland China on their own.

The Prime Minister nodded, looked up at the table below, and it was time for dinner.

"Xiao Li, let's continue talking. Let me give you a special case today. I have not eaten at the State Council. I will take you to a working meal here today. But you are a guest. I will make an exception for a drink during working hours. Anyway, you didn't drive by yourself, and you are not afraid of drunk driving, haha." The Prime Minister made a rare joke, but Li Cong felt that he couldn't laugh out. This meal might indicate what the Prime Minister would eat with him.
