"It seems that you are still optimistic about the strategy of our country's energy companies going global. Changhe Group has taken this step well. CNPC is also actively seeking to go global. Sinopec is a little slower, so we need to catch up." You Wangang pondered for a moment, "How is the progress of Changhe Group's acquisition of the Russian Orsk oil refinery project?"

"It should be quite smooth. Both sides are talking. Russia's economic situation is very bad now and it urgently needs foreign exchange support. The Olsk refinery is not indispensable to Russia, and the change of shareholders does not have a big impact. The other side is willing to take action, mainly because the changes in Russia's political situation also have an impact on current shareholders. It should be a hit-and-out thing here, which is nothing more than price issues." Sha Zhengyang also introduced: "Chao Hanzhong has gone to Moscow and will discuss it first with JP Morgan people. I guess there is a preliminary intention around July, and I may have to go there at that time."

You Wangang sighed softly.

Changhe Group's execution ability is far better than Sinopec, which he has just taken over now, and he has now deeply felt this.

China National Petroleum Corporation and Sinopec, which have been separated, have not yet completely recovered. It involves the mutual delivery of refining and oil recovery-related assets. This is quite complicated. After the handover, it involves the steering and adjustment of their respective major strategies. What to do in the next year, what to do in three years, and what to do in five to ten years, now we must conduct research and analysis immediately, and then come up with a strategy. It can be said that it is impossible to delay any delay.

As the helmist, You Wangang deeply felt how painful it was that there was no one around him.

When he was in Changhe Group, Zhong Guangbiao could carry all his daily affairs. Yuan Zengqiao basically didn't need to worry about the coal industry. The passion and enthusiasm shown by Lu Tonghao in sales construction made You Wangang amazed. It can be said that Changhe Group has made rapid progress in the construction of sales terminal networks this year. Sha Zhengyang's suggestions and Lu Tonghao's execution made great contributions.

Although Changhe Group's overseas travel strategy was proposed by Sha Zhengyang, such a grand strategy involves hundreds of millions of funds. If it is not done well, it will be studied over and over again, followed by various risk assessments, and finally talked about fundraising. It is not that such measures are unnecessary, but that sometimes it is something that cannot be missed. It is a little less efficient and has a poor execution ability, and may fail.

But in Hanchuan, Zhou Yuanwang and Wang Yunxiang were both quite bold decision makers and dared to take risks. Changhe Group was able to quickly mobilize, form a negotiation team and an execution team, and quickly initiate docking and negotiations. It also studied and developed various aspects of the Kazakhstan State and the Akjiubin Petroleum Company project itself, and came up with corresponding countermeasures. In the end, it was possible to defeat Texagu and Amoko in such a short time and win in one fell swoop.

If it were replaced by PetroChina and Sinopec, it might be possible that they would be stuck at that stage. Once they were delayed, there might be no chance.

You Wangang felt that he had played the role of a decision maker and implementer in Changhe Group, so he was very proud, but after he left, Changhe Group did not stop because of this, and even had greater movements.

The second step of acquisition of the Orsk Refinery was discussed at the beginning, but I felt that the time was not yet ripe. Unexpectedly, Changhe Group had already advanced to the substantial negotiation stage in just a few months.

What did I do after I visited Sinopec for two months? In addition to research, what did I take to take measures that are truly valuable? No.

This is also the main reason why You Wangang feels the most depressed and stressed, because Changhe Group has transformed from a company helmed in the past to a strong competitor who is now in charge of the company. Although he also believes that Changhe Group does not have the strength to challenge Sinopec in the short term, you see its rapid development speed and the vigorous vitality and tremendous passion shown by their group of people, You Wangang is really panicked from the bottom of his heart.

This is the change that a person brings to the entire team, and this person is not the main member of a team, which is quite rare.

"So, you have convinced the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to launch this plan?" You Wangang was still a little envious. "Once this acquisition plan is successful, will you also have to trade with Kazakhstan?"

If it were someone else, Sha Zhengyang would not want to talk to the other party about these matters involving commercial secrets, but You Wangang is different.

First of all, he was the initial actual decision-maker, and Changhe Group had no secrets to him, and even Yu Wangang knew the subsequent plans.

Besides, with You Wangang's party spirit, he would not have any trouble in such matters. Moreover, it is possible that the real substantial competition with Changhe Group in Kazakhstan is China National Petroleum Corporation, and it is not Sinopec's turn.

"Mr. You, you are very clear about the purpose and significance of Neri. The purpose of winning the Orsk refinery is mainly to compete for the future exploration and development rights of Kazakhstan oil and gas resources in the Caspian coastal areas. Kazakhstan's refining capacity is insufficient, so we will sign this agreement with them. If we do not win the Orsk refinery, then our Changhe Group will either build an oil refinery for them or help them improve their existing refinery processing capabilities. To weigh it, acquiring the Orsk refinery is the most cost-effective and the most happy to see. After all, as the assets of Russia, which inherited the former Soviet Union, can be obtained by Kazakhstan, this is not only a simple corporate asset, but also a sense of national glory and pride."

Sha Zhengyang thinks about human nature very thoroughly. These factors may not make much sense to China, but the national feelings of Kazakhstan are different, especially those of Kazakhstan government officials who are responsible for this work. That is even more different. Being able to do such a job, their public opinion support at home and the recognition of the government's senior government are enough to make them willing to give China generous compensation in other aspects.

"Zhengyang, you consider this aspect that many of you are more mature and older." You Wangang couldn't help but exclaim: "But I think you must have other intentions in it. Can you talk about it?"

"There are some of them. The Olsk refinery has a relatively strong refining capacity in this area. If we acquire Changhe Oil and can join shares with Kazakhstan, it will also help us explore the retail market in Kazakhstan and even Russia. If the oil and gas resources in the Caspian Sea are fully developed in the future, if our Changhe Group is committed to becoming a comprehensive multinational oil and gas enterprise, then choosing the Central Asia region as a breakthrough is a good consideration."

Sha Zhengyang said and thought.

"From the intelligence information we have now, the oil and gas resources in the Caspian Sea are extremely rich, and Kazakhstan, Russia and Iran occupy a major share. Iran will not talk about it for now. Due to the limitations of the international situation, countries need to consider it comprehensively. Although Russia is weak at present and seems to have some opportunities, its special national conditions make it too many uncertain factors. Only Kazakhstan is the most suitable. Therefore, if we want to make a major breakthrough in this region, we can only deepen all-round cooperation with Kazakhstan. Our idea is from oil exploration to mining, from natural gas exploration and mining to deep processing, from pipeline construction to oil and gas output, from Kazakhstan's retail end to the Russian market. We think that there is a lot of room for cooperation with Kazakhstan. I have also discussed this point. This time he went to Moscow and Astana to contact all parties, and he also felt that the opportunity was great."

"Why would Kazakhstan think that Changhe Group is the most suitable partner for cooperation? Such as multinational giants in European and American countries, as well as PetroChina, and even Russian oil giants, they are not good?" You Wangang couldn't help asking.

"I didn't say that other companies were not good. I just said that compared with our Changhe Group, there were more opportunities." Sha Zhengyang smiled and shook his head.

He felt that the old leader was a little anxious. Perhaps he felt the huge gap between Sinopec's slow pace and Changhe Group's high efficiency, which made him feel a little unable to sit still.

No wonder, seeing his future competitors conquering cities and land outside, but he is still confined to the situation here and is slow to conduct research. Who is not anxious? Who can sit still?

Especially this company is still in charge of it before. Compared with the two, the contrast is too big.

"Mr. You, this is how we analyze it. European and American companies have already gained a deep foothold in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan's national conditions and international status determine that it will be a competition between the geopolitical and interests of Europe and the United States and Russia in the future. Although Russia now seeks Europe and the United States, once the Russian bears recover, they will not let Europe and the United States be presumptuous in their back gardens. However, their strength determines that they can only be in a weak and defensive face in the face of European and American offensives. With the surge in China's national strength, the key to geopolitics is balance. At the same time, there are resources urgently needed by our country, and it can also avoid the strategic security risk zone of the Strait of Malacca. Therefore, China must also enter, the earlier the better."

Sha Zhengyang's words did not satisfy You Wangang, "I know China must enter, but why is your Changhe Group more suitable?"
