In the Standing Committee, Fan Xin talked about the most talks about the reform of Zhejiang state-owned enterprises and changed the topic of the old topic, and mentioned the gas station competition he saw in Linzhou City when he inspected Donghai Province.

"I think. At present, the petrochemical industry oil companies are the two major oil companies competing for low-end resources, which has seriously caused resource waste, especially for the waste of national resources. Just take a very ordinary gas station. The construction funds are only more than 600,000 yuan, but under the competition between the two major oil companies, selling three or four million is not a problem. What's more, a medium-sized gas station can compete for more than a dozen round trips, and the owner is waiting to sell for a price. The investment of three million can be ten times at this time, which is very abnormal." Fan Heng said at the meeting.

"Is this a market-oriented competition?" someone said casually.

Fan Heng immediately replied, "This is not market-oriented competition. The reason for this situation is nothing else. It is precisely because industry policies are changing. The path for private enterprises to enter the refined oil market can be said to have been essentially blocked. The situation is the substantial industry monopoly of the two major oil companies, Jiang Erzhi, which is worth our deep consideration."

"The oil industry, the lifeblood of the country's economic lifeline, should be beneficial to appropriate centralized management and large-scale operation. We cannot let the control of refined oil be separated from the government's control," Li Xuan said another answer.

"This is not the most reasonable explanation." Fan Hengliliao denied, "American oil companies are also private enterprises. But in reality, the interests of such industries are bound to national interests. Therefore, there will be no results outside of control, and leaving control cannot be a reason to indulge in breaking."

In fact, Fan Heng has always disagreed with the monopoly behavior of the two major oil companies. Fan Heng does not disagree with state-owned holdings. He has a deep affection for state-owned enterprises. What he opposes is that low-quality breaks like the two major oil companies, and achieve industry monopoly through early control of market exports, which is indeed unreasonable to occupy the refined oil market and drive others out.

The internationalization of China's oil industry is entering a new stage. From the perspective of international economics, the essence of the internationalization of China's oil industry market is that international oil companies can make full use of the various factors and opportunities provided by our economy, and at the same time, my country's oil companies can also make full use of the various opportunities and factors provided by the international economy.

"The global economy is powered by technological progress and multinational corporations as the carrier to adjust, optimize and upgrade. With the acceleration of the economic globalization process, the economic activities of countries around the world are more closely linked, and the internationalization of production has promoted the international flow and optimization combination of production factors around the world. The industrial structure, product structure, enterprise structure, and technical structure of various countries are undergoing major changes. The degree of capital aggregation, industrial concentration and market monopoly is becoming higher and higher, forming a group of large companies and large groups with international competitiveness. The economic strength and competitiveness of a country are concentrated in the strength and international competitiveness of these large companies and large groups." Fan Heng explained his understanding, "We do need some large state-owned enterprises to participate in the market competition and obtain a certain advantageous position. However, such a simple market plunder will only develop the inertia of enterprises, which is harmful and useless to improve scientific and technological capabilities."

Several members who had worked on the economy expressed their agreement after hearing this. In fact, for the world's oil industry, due to the uneven geographical distribution of oil resources, the standard of oil products, and the high density of oil industry funds, technology and risks, the position of multinational oil companies in the entire industry is particularly important.

In the past twenty years, due to the long-term decline in oil prices in the international market, multinational oil companies have seen less exploration in local and other countries, and the higher cost of inventory and lower oil prices have caused some oil companies to sharply reduce their profits. As a result, a fierce merger and reorganization trend has spread throughout the 1980s and has become increasingly fierce in the 1990s.

"In the past three years alone, large oil companies have merged eight large-scale oil companies, with the total amount involved reaching more than 300 billion US dollars. After a series of mergers and reorganizations, a new pattern of monopolizing the world oil market with five giant companies including Exxon Mobile, British Petroleum Corporation, British-Dutch Shell, Total Fina Elf and Chevron Texaco." Fan Heng said to everyone, "At present, multinational oil companies mainly control more than 30% of the world's oil

Industrial output value. Its trade volume and direct investment amount exceed two-thirds of the world's world, and it owns more than 80% of the world's advanced petroleum and petrochemical technology. The competition in the world's oil industry is mainly reflected in the struggle between these giant multinational oil companies. And due to the intensification of mergers and acquisitions, multinational oil companies have a tendency to break the development of higher-level and larger-scale international oil oligopolies. These giants in the world's oil market will have a profound impact on the development of the international oil market."

It is worth noting that over the years, the economic growth mode of large international oil companies has undergone major changes, from the growth mode that was simply based on investment scale expansion to the low-cost expansion mainly through strict acquisitions of funds, to achieve optimization and integration of resources and businesses, expanding and strengthening the main business, and enhancing the company's core competitiveness. This is a successful path for the growth of multinational oil companies today.

But it must also be seen that due to the uneven distribution of world oil resources, the remaining oil recoverable reserves and recoverable resources are mainly distributed in the Middle East, while oil consumption is mainly concentrated in the United States, Asia-Pacific and Europe. The contradiction between oil supply and demand in some regions, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, will be more prominent, which will surely promote the internationalization process of the oil market.

However, the international oil market is not unimpeded. Due to the technical and economic characteristics of the oil industry itself and the scarcity and strategic characteristics of oil resources, there are various barriers to entry in the international oil market.

On the one hand, the competitive structure of the original oil companies in the host country will have a direct impact on new entrants of multinational corporations. On the other hand, the current and possible industrial policies, foreign investment policies and environmental policy technical indicators of the host country government can have an adverse impact on the entry enterprises. In addition, in recent years, a new world oil resource battle is being launched in the international market. Most of the most favorable oil-gas-containing areas, including the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia, and Africa, have basically been occupied by major international oil companies. These situations will obviously put a lot of pressure on Chinese oil companies to enter the international oil market and expand overseas oil business.

"It can be foreseen that with the acceleration of economic globalization, international competition is increasingly evolving into large companies in various countries. Large groups are competing with each other, capital aggregation, industrial concentration and market disruption are becoming increasingly higher. Oligarch-led competition of multinational oil companies will become the main form of international oil competition. The internationalization trend of the market means that China's oil market will integrate into the oil market and become an inseparable component of the world oil market. In the process of internationalization of several markets, Chinese oil companies must go abroad and participate in international market competition, and open the country to deal with the competition entered by foreign oil companies. Therefore, having strong industrial international competitiveness is a necessary guarantee for international oil competition." Fan Heng finally said, "Low-cost industrial expansion can exist, but this is not the only magic weapon to defeat the enemy and win. How to improve the technological competitiveness of enterprises, improve production efficiency, and vigorously promote new technology research to promote production is the best way to deal with international competition."

When everyone heard Fan Heng’s words, they immediately understood that he was going to attack the two major oil companies, otherwise they would not have spent so much time doing so much homework. Some people began to move, thinking in their hearts that this matter would involve those people, what would have an impact on themselves?

Fan Heng himself did not care about these issues. He said that the modern oil industry is a technology-intensive industrial collective, and its future development and quality cannot be directly determined by natural resources, hardware technology and even capital, but directly rely on the innovation, formation and utilization of software resources such as knowledge and technology.

In order to grasp and utilize the development opportunities brought by the knowledge economy, major Western oil companies have adopted knowledge-oriented and high-tech industrial structure adjustments.

Judging from the technical environment of China's oil industry, most theories and cutting-edge technologies basically follow foreign countries, lack independent innovation and competitive advantages. According to statistics from the Economic Structure Research Report of the Oil and Natural Gas Group Corporation of the previous year, among the twenty-nine representative technologies of the exploration, development, and refining industries of the oil group companies, only 13% of the upstream main players have strong technological competitiveness, which is very low.

In the downstream aspects of petroleum refining and petrochemical industry, there is generally a gap of about ten years compared with foreign countries. The main petrochemical technology has not yet formed a complete set of technologies with independent intellectual property rights. Although oil refining mainly relies on independent development technology, product technology development is weak, and there are generally problems such as low quality grades and few varieties and brands. Faced with the world's oil industry that is developing rapidly, if the technological innovation efforts are not increased, the gap will become larger and larger.

From the perspective of the political and economic environment, the domestic market will be in line with the international market, and the main economic regulations and economic policies will gradually become consistent with the global economic operation rules. This requires the government to eliminate obstacles that affect the development of the oil industry in terms of system and legal policies, such as regional division, investment and financing system, and taxation system, and the rational use of oil resources, the supply and consumption of refined oil, the qualifications of refined oil operators and product quality assurance, etc., and the positive effects of joining the mountain can be achieved by passing legislation and adopting effective economic development policies and industrial policies.

Boss Zhu put his eyes on the information carefully, listened to Fan Heng's words. After everyone discussed it fiercely, he said, "There are two basic characteristics of modern industry. One is that the more the product chain goes downstream, the higher the technological content and the higher the added value, which prompts enterprises to pay attention to the deep development of downstream products. The product chain not only includes production links, but also product sales and the services provided to customers, thereby realizing the appreciation of intangible assets brought by the brand. The other is that market development is the basic condition for the survival and development of enterprises. Only by building themselves on millions of users can enterprises be invincible."

After a pause, he said, "The model of large oil companies in integrated operation of upstream and downstream is an inevitable choice for the general characteristics of modern industry and the internal laws of the oil industry. The oil industry is an exploration, development, refining, chemical industry, a complete product chain of sales, the high added value of downstream products and the driving force for occupying the market. It makes oil companies pay attention to the downstream and sales links. At the same time, in order to avoid the economic risks brought by fluctuations in oil prices, it prompts oil companies to go upstream and downstream and integrate sales. As a result of competition, a few large oil companies gained competitive advantages by continuously expanding their market share and controlling the market, forcing small and medium-sized oil companies to sell their reserves and crude oil to large oil companies, which ultimately leads to the characteristics of large oil companies that produce more oil than they find, refining more oil than they produce, and selling more oil than they produce, and selling more oil than they produce."

After listening for a long time, Chief No. 1 finally expressed his opinion, "It is not the right way to suppress people with the foundation. Technological innovation has become the most lasting and fundamental driving force for industrial development. Every step of the world's oil and gas production depends on the promotion of new theories and new technologies, and maintaining the leading position of technology has always been the guarantee for the long-term prosperity and growth of large foreign oil companies."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. In fact, this problem exists in various industries.

"Our enterprises need to rely on innovation to form their own core competitiveness, and shape well-known brands. Rely on well-known brands to enhance their competitive advantages and intangible assets. Therefore, technological innovation is the source of the core competitiveness of enterprises. Enterprises must form and display their own core technologies through technological innovation, and use this as a basis to form their own special products and special services. At present, my country's oil industry's technological innovation capabilities are still far from the world's advanced level, which greatly limits the development of my country's oil industry and the improvement of international competitiveness. In order to accelerate the development of my country's oil industry and improve core competitiveness, we must rely on scientific and technological progress to improve the efficiency of petroleum technology." The No. 1 said, "For specific matters, you relevant ministries and commissions of the State Council should conduct more research and come up with specific plans."

Fan Heng suddenly felt a little funny when he heard this. He thought that everyone would say beautiful words. When solving the problem, he kicked the ball back. However, he is Vice Premier Zhuo Wu in this complex area. What he asked was to unify everyone's thoughts from the overall situation. Since he had obtained the desired result, the specific operation would be easier.

It is nothing more than strengthening the training and management of technical talents, increasing scientific and technological investment, raising funds for science and technology exhibitions through multiple channels and levels, strengthening scientific and technological cooperation, developing the technology exchange market, accelerating the implementation and promotion of scientific and technological achievements, and establishing a research entity composed of multidisciplinary, multi-professional and highly technically intensive research entities, so that the research results can serve enterprises as soon as possible and serve the market.

These things are actually not difficult. The most important thing is that the upper class must be unified and other things are easy to handle.
