In terms of energy and mineral resources, the domestic development is basically disorderly, and it has great harm. This is closely related to the lack of a special and effective management agency and regulatory system.

And at this point, developed countries have long come to the forefront.

The United States promulgated and implemented the Energy Policy and Saving Act as early as 1975, with the core of energy security, energy conservation and energy efficiency improvement. In 1982, the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Saving Act was formulated to address the energy efficiency of motor vehicles. In 1987, the National Electrical Appliance Products Energy Saving Act was promulgated. In 1992, the National Energy Policy Act was formulated, which is a comprehensive legal text for energy supply and use.

By 1998, the National Integrated Energy Strategy was announced, requiring the improvement of energy system efficiency and the use of energy resources more effectively.

Its management organization is also quite large and effective. The U.S. Department of Energy has the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Bureau, which is the largest bureau in the department. It has two comprehensive offices, the Planning and Budget Office, and the Management and Operation Office. It has five marketing departments and six regional offices, with a staffing of about 450 people.

In contrast, it can be seen that there are only about 30 people in the domestic energy bureau. What can be done? Can the domestic office efficiency be higher than that in the United States? This is obviously unlikely.

In terms of public finance, the U.S. federal government's investment budget for energy conservation and new energy is also increasing year by year, reaching 11.8 billion US dollars in 2001. This year it has increased to 13.1 billion US dollars. Twenty-one states in the United States have energy-saving public welfare funds, which mainly raise funds by raising about two percent of the electricity price. The fund is managed by the public utility committees of each state, and relevant departments and units can apply for and use the fund to carry out energy-saving activities.

As for the incentive policies, they are also in place, including cash subsidies, tax exemptions and low-interest loans.

Starting this year, the United States has decided to implement energy tax exemption policies for energy efficiency, alternative fuels and renewable fuels in the next ten years, and the tax reduction amount for new buildings and various energy-saving equipment is 10% or 20% respectively based on the determined energy efficiency indicators.

Last year, forty state-level government departments and public utilities in the United States provided a total of $1.30 billion in cash subsidies, encouraging users to purchase energy-saving appliances and lighting products certified by "Energy Star". It encouraged the promotion of ethanol gasoline, and subsidies of about $200 per ton of ethanol.

The U.S. Department of Energy has great management authority. The energy efficiency standards are formulated and implemented by the Department of Energy, and the mandatory performance and efficiency marking system was implemented. Later, voluntary energy conservation certification (Energy Star) was implemented since 1992. The U.S. Procurement Law and several presidential decrees stipulate that the government must purchase certified products of "Energy Star". "Energy Star" indirectly becomes a mandatory behavior of the government and is a technical barrier for foreign products to enter the U.S. market.

The Federal Office of Energy Management is responsible for energy conservation work in government agencies. In order to ensure the realization of energy conservation goals, the United States has issued 13 presidential executive orders and two presidential memorandums in the past decade, making specific provisions on energy conservation goals, responsibilities, management, procurement and other contents of government agencies.

In terms of energy-saving projects, more than 2,500 institutions have participated in the U.S. Department of Energy’s High-Efficiency Motor Challenge Program, which consists of 200 equipment suppliers, agents, power companies and state governments to carry out publicity, training and information dissemination work to more than 30,000 end users.

Over the past twelve years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has implemented a green lighting program and established partnerships with more than 2,300 companies, power companies, non-profit organizations and other groups, investing more than one billion US dollars to promote high-efficiency lighting products.

All this shows that the efficient operation model of the US Department of Energy has had a great impact on American social life. In contrast, in the domestic energy bureau, are there basically all the same ones, thirty people? What do you expect to do? I guess you have to ask the gunman to complete the work summary.

In fact, it is not only Americans who are taking the lead in energy, but countries such as France and Japan are also very active on this issue.

In the 2010-2020 Energy Report published in 1998, France has outlined the outline of France's energy policy, liberalizing the electricity and natural gas market, adjusting transportation urban planning to control consumption, taking measures to update existing power plants, and developing nuclear power plants and formulating energy tax policies.

In terms of management agencies, in 1992, the French government issued a decree to establish a cross-departmental and relatively independent agency for the Environmental and Energy Control, and established representative agencies in twenty-six administrative regions.

In the past two thousand years, the French government increased its capacity to increase the capacity of the Environmental and Energy Control Agency by 200 personnel, with a total of 900 personnel, an increase of one billion francs, and established 100 information publicity points across the country.

The budget fund managed by the Environmental and Energy Control Agency is approximately 3 billion francs, of which 500 million francs are used for renewable energy, 700 million francs of energy saving, and 1.8 billion francs of environmental governance. These costs are supported by local representative agencies, research units and enterprises of the Environmental and Energy Control Agency in the form of contracts to carry out environmental and energy development research, diagnostic consulting and project investment.

In terms of taxation, there are also energy preferential policies, including automobile fuel tax and new environmental pollution tax, and income tax reduction and exemption of household insulation and heating equipment and high-efficiency boilers. An accelerated depreciation system is implemented for the first year of investment in energy efficiency technology in the industrial field, and less commercial tax is imposed, so that companies that invest in energy conservation are exempt from profits in the use and leasing of energy-saving equipment.

Another very important measure is to effectively manage key energy-consuming enterprises. The key energy-consuming enterprises have 1,500 energy-consuming units with annual energy consumption of more than 5,000 tons of standard oil. The government requires them to make voluntary energy-saving guarantees and promote energy-saving measures to them through intermediary organizations.

In terms of energy audit, the Department of Environment and Energy Control arranges 20 major demonstration projects to carry out energy audits every year, and proposes energy-saving transformation plans and suggestions. For major technologies and process demonstration projects that are used for the first time, the finance department will provide about 30% of the project funding and provide tax incentives.

The government's energy-saving publicity is mainly carried out through television public service advertisements, distributing publicity materials, setting up public consultation telephones, etc. The annual fiscal budget used for energy-saving publicity is about 90 million francs.

Japan took a step earlier in energy control and promulgated and implemented the "Rational Energy Use Law" in 1979. In 1993, it formulated the "Rational Energy Use and Renewable Resource Utilization Law". The core is to encourage enterprises, motor vehicles, and energy-consuming equipment to comply with stricter energy efficiency standards. The "2010 Long-term Outlook on Energy Supply and Demand" formulated in 1998 emphasizes the use of stable energy-saving measures to control energy demand.

Japan's energy conservation management work is under the responsibility of the Department of Resources and Energy, which is managed by the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Industry. After the Japanese government's institutional reform in 2001, the energy conservation management organization was upgraded from the original energy conservation course of the Department of Coal to the Ministry of Energy Conservation and New Energy, with a staffing of 65 people.

Although this number seems to be a little less, one thing to note is that Japan has a small population base, and the Japanese are very busy working. It can be said that if the calculations are made year-on-year, the role that these 65 people can play must be at least equivalent to the effectiveness that the domestic Energy Bureau has more than 2,000 staff members to play.

In terms of budget, the 2001 fiscal budget of the Department of Resources and Energy is 130 billion yen, and energy conservation and new energy is 52 billion yen. Subsidies are implemented for the promotion of energy-saving equipment and demonstration projects. The Ministry of Economy, Industry and Economics and Industry allocates 38 billion yen every year to subsidize household and building energy management systems and high-efficiency water heaters, and implement special depreciation and tax reduction discounts on the use of more than 100 energy-saving equipment included in the catalog. The tax reduction accounts for about 100% of the equipment purchase cost. Policy banks also provide low-interest loans to these projects to encourage the promotion and application of energy-saving equipment.

In terms of key energy-using enterprises, Japan is obviously more cautious. They list more than 10,000 units with annual fuel consumption of 1,500 tons of standard oil or electricity consumption of more than 6 million kWh as key energy-using enterprises, and require full-time energy management personnel to make specific requirements for factory heat use, electricity use and building heat loss, and report energy consumption status to the Ministry of Economy, Industry and related departments every year. If the energy-saving target cannot be completed on schedule and cannot propose a reasonable improvement plan, the competent department has the right to announce it to the public, order it to make rectification within a time limit, and impose a fine.

In terms of energy efficiency standards and labeling of government equipment, a leading product energy efficiency benchmark system has been implemented, and energy efficiency standards for automobiles and electrical products are formulated that are not lower than the best commodity level in the market, and the target year for implementation has been clearly defined. In 1999, mandatory performance efficiency identification system has been implemented for automobiles, commercial and household appliances, etc. to facilitate consumers to compare product energy efficiency.

A large part of the data submitted by Fan Heng comes from the original data collected by Fan Wubing's intelligence department. Therefore, when the senior executives saw so much detailed data, they were a little surprised. You should know that domestic intelligence departments are far from reaching this level in collecting economic intelligence.

"How credible is these data?" Someone expressed doubts.

Fan Heng answered this question very simply, "Fan Investment Group is actually one of the most effective intelligence departments in the economic intelligence departments of countries around the world. The investment it invests in this area every year is about 20 billion US dollars, and at the most, it once exceeded 28 billion US dollars."

When everyone heard this, they stopped talking. Two hundred and eight billion US dollars were exchanged at the current exchange rate, which was equivalent to 230 billion RMB investment. Such a large investment was just spent on collecting economic information, which was really shocking.

A member of the Standing Committee said with some depression. "Last year, the domestic military expenditure was only 20 billion US dollars-"

"How could Fan have such a high investment in economic intelligence?" A member of the committee asked this question curiously.

Fan Heng spread his hands and explained, "I don't know the specific situation, but when Wubing said that it seems that the consumption level abroad is probably higher, and there are some special intelligence analysis departments that can transfer economic intelligence and technical information, which is also relatively expensive. In terms of Fan's Investment Group's current overseas intelligence department, there are probably more than thousands of people. These people and their intelligence sources all have to be supported. So, after all, it will be invested in more than 20 billion US dollars a year."

Someone asked another question, "Fan's net income in domestic companies is only hundreds of billions of dollars a year, right? Can such a large investment be overcome?"

"I have also asked the dog son this question-" Fan Heng replied, "According to him, Fan's investment in China basically does not pay much attention to returns. He was mainly because he felt that there were great flaws in some major industrial directions in China, so he planned to build some industries to make up for it. As for Fan's income, most of the income from overseas markets, such as finance and mineral resources, real estate, hotel industry and some other channels."

"Ask a rude question, does Vice Premier Fan know about Fan's annual revenue figure?" asked a member.

In fact, this is also something that everyone is more concerned about, because Fan's Investment Group is a multinational consortium and has very few shareholders, mainly Fan Wubing himself. The proportion held by several other important executives is also very small, and they are registered overseas and are not listed. Therefore, this has caused everyone to be confused about the asset scale and profitability of Fan's Investment Group, and they cannot judge how much money Fan's Investment Group has.

Although everyone knows the approximate size of Fan's Investment Group's assets in China, and can also calculate the annual income of Fan's Investment Group in the domestic market through taxes, if you want to fully evaluate Fan's Investment Group, there are too few resources for reference.

If there is someone who knows the actual financial resources of Fan's Investment Group, it is probably only Fan Wubing who knows it.

Therefore, when answering this question, Fan Heng also spread his hands, "I don't know either. I never ask about my children's personal income, this is their personal privacy."

However, Fan Heng also added, "But it seems that the income in the overseas financial market last year was said to be hundreds of billions of dollars. I can't ask about the specific situation in detail."
