Spring Breeze 1991

Yao Yuan paused, took a sip of tea from his water cup, and said, "The state requires state-owned enterprises to adapt to marketization and participate in market competition in order to promote the healthy development of enterprises. This is also the basic direction of state-owned enterprise reform. Lower the threshold and allow The entry of private enterprises into some fields will help promote the development of the industry, not the other way around."

"However, I personally support state-owned enterprises to become the pillars of the socialist economic system. Fields related to national security and basic people's livelihood should be controlled by state-owned enterprises. At least they should play a guiding and backbone role. I personally agree with these views of."

These last words made the impression of Yao Yuan a lot better for the bosses of several big state-owned enterprises.

Russia has been completely westernized and privatized, and the dire results have begun to emerge. This has put an end to the debate on whether to open up or open up with reservations, but there are still quite a few people who believe that the country should be open to all capital. In all fields, it is believed that this is a market-oriented economy.

As a leader and representative of private entrepreneurs, Yao Yuan's statement is very important and won the heart of Mr. Li.

Including Zhang Huaide, although he looks down on private enterprises from the bottom of his heart, he does not underestimate the energy of private enterprises.It will be 1993. As early as more than ten years ago, a large number of self-employed, small workshops, and collective enterprises appeared in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. At that time, no one thought that they could change anything. Looking at it now, there are more and more state-owned enterprises. was hit.

At one time, there were voices to strictly control the private economy, but since this year, the state has made it clear that it will unswervingly support economic diversification.

From the perspective of available funds alone, Yao Yuan's Chunfeng Group has more money than three barrels of oil combined. Zhang Huaide can look down on it, but he will not underestimate it.

Being able to discuss the petrochemical base project with Mr. Li face to face is already a strong proof.

"Dongfang Petroleum has already obtained the upper and midstream business license. If you obtain the downstream business license, you will have a wider business scope than our petrochemical and oil companies. Xiao Yao, you are not a small condition." Li Old said with a smile.

Yao Yuan was very surprised, he did not expect Mr. Li to have such a comprehensive understanding of Dongfang Petroleum.

Zhang Huaide immediately said, "Yes, we let you do all the business, but we don't have any business. Mr. Yao, your requirements are too high."

Yao Yuan said, "Southern Industrial can also contribute 30 billion US dollars to take up 30% of the shares."

The attitude is very clear, either an extra US$20 billion in exchange for "licenses for wholesale and retail of refined oil products", or a proportional investment of US$30 billion for a 30% stake in the petrochemical base.

Zhang Huaide was suddenly in trouble, and couldn't help but look at Wen Tiejun, as if saying, Old Wen, this matter has a lot to do with the Petroleum Corporation, so you have to talk.

indeed so.

Wen Tiejun adjusted his sitting posture for a while, and said, "Xiao Yao, you know that the three of us can't afford 70 billion US dollars, nor can the state financial support."

At this time, Xiong Jinhua saw that the real issue was discussed, so he coughed and said, "Mr. Li, our CNOOC will not participate in the project of the petrochemical base. We really can't spare the funds and energy now. .”

Mr. Li nodded slightly irresistibly.

With Mr. Li's consent, Xiong Jinhua felt much more relaxed and continued to be the mascot.

Wen Tiejun and Zhang Huaide looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and made eye contact again. Wen Tiejun asked, "Xiao Yao, I know that you have always prepared multiple plans when doing things. Tell me about other plans."

The implication is also obvious that it is impossible to allow the wholesale and sales of refined oil products owned by Dongfang Petroleum Corporation, and the Petrochemical Corporation depends on this.And they all know that, with Dongfang Petroleum's size entering the market, Petrochemical Corporation will definitely meet a strong opponent.

The same is true for the Petroleum Corporation. Don’t forget that Dongfang Petroleum has overseas oil fields, and the oil quality is not known to be much better than domestic ones. The cost of extraction and processing is low. buy crude oil.

Mr. Li looked at Yao Yuan who was hesitating, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yao, tell me."

Yao Yuan sat up straight and said, "I still want to get a license to operate the wholesale and retail of refined oil products, but the scope can be discussed. For example, geographical scope, oil plant scope, and industry scope."

Refined oil includes many kinds, gasoline and diesel are just two of them.There are also aviation fuel for aircraft, fuel oil for ships, heavy fuel oil for factories, etc., and there are many types.This involves the scope of the industry.

Yao Yuan thought for a while and continued, "Old Li, Dongfang Petroleum can only deal in gasoline and diesel for motor vehicles, and allow us to build gas stations."

In the future, the domestic automobile fuel consumption market will be extremely large, and Sinopec's main profit will come from this market. If it can get a share of it, the situation of Dongfang Petroleum will be stable.

Yao Yuan took a step back.

But Zhang Huaide still disagreed. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Yao, gasoline and diesel for vehicles are the main market. Your conditions are not much different from those just now. However, you can enter the industrial fuel market."

Yao Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Then give me the aviation fuel business license."

The aviation fuel market is also extremely large. By 2020, the number of aircraft owned by domestic airlines will reach 3700, and more than 5000 million tons of aviation fuel will be consumed every year.Aviation fuel is aviation kerosene, which is also one of refined oil products.

But Zhang Huaide still disagreed.

Not because he is optimistic about the development prospects of the domestic civil aviation market, but because aviation fuel is a fuel with higher added value, with high and stable profits, and it is subsidized by the state.

Yao Yuan argued hard, insisting not to let go.

By this time, everyone has actually shown the bottom line.

At this time, Mr. Li spoke. He pointed to Wen Tiejun and Zhang Huaide, and said, "It's inappropriate for you two to just think about taking advantage and not doing anything. In my opinion, aren't the Petroleum Corporation and the Petrochemical Corporation going to reorganize?" Let Xiao Yao contribute some money to participate and get some shares."

Yao Yuan thinks that Wen Tiejun and Zhang Huaide will definitely not agree. It is the original stock of PetroChina and Sinopec. In another 20 years, 1% of the shares will be worth tens of billions of dollars.

However, what surprised Yao Yuan was that Zhang Huaide was the first to nod in agreement, "I think it's possible, this is also a deliberate attempt to reorganize our state-owned enterprise."

Wen Tiejun naturally agreed.

This confuses Yao Yuan, how do you look at them, it seems that they are eager to share more shares?

Mr. Li waved his hand, "You talk about the details. Regarding the wholesale and retail of Dongfang Petroleum's refined oil products, aviation kerosene is not suitable, and gasoline and diesel for vehicles are not a big problem. In my opinion, let Dongfang Petroleum operate in Guangdong Province." Wholesale and retail of gasoline and diesel for vehicles. Xiao Yao, your gas stations can only be built within Guangdong Province, do you agree or not?"

Aviation fuel is related to aviation safety, and the country must be controlled by state-owned enterprises. Yao Yuan is clear about this, so he has no plan to really enter this market.

At this time, the compromise plan proposed by Mr. Li was far from Yao Yuan's psychological goal, but it was not too bad.After all, Guangdong Province will be the province with the largest economy in the country for decades, and it will also be the province with the largest consumption of gasoline and diesel for vehicles.

Yao Yuan agreed.

Mr. Li has already set the tone and left. The rest of the people will continue the meeting, and the next step is to discuss the specific details...
