Spring Breeze 1991

Wen Tiejun pondered, but didn't think for long, and said, "I'll organize people to study it when I go back, and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."

For another person, this would be perfunctory, but not for Yao Yuan.

The purpose of inviting Vice Governor Zhang to come here is to tell Xia Honghua and Wen Tiejun that Guangdong Province has already made preparations and just waits for the natural gas to arrive.With the strong support of the provincial government, there is no suspense about this matter.

The most important thing is that the uniform use of piped gas is equal to the development of a new market, and the benefits for urban residents are even more obvious, and the cost of living is reduced.

Yao Yuan said, "Take the gas in the provincial capital as an example. A standard tank of gas costs 25 yuan. If a family of three is only using it for cooking, it can generally last for 45 days. If you add a water heater, it can generally last for 35 days, which is considered a month. 20 yuan."

"If you use piped gas, under the same conditions, you only need 10 yuan, and there is a fluctuation of about 5 yuan, so you can save 5 yuan. Take the provincial capital as an example, there are about 600 million households. That is to say, in terms of living energy costs, the provincial capital can save 200 million yuan a year, and this money entering the consumer market is enough to stimulate the vigorous development of an industry."

After taking a sip of tea, Yao Yuan said, "Natural gas is soundless and odorless, and does not produce carbon monoxide after burning. I checked the data. Last year, there were hundreds of accidental deaths in our province due to gas leakage. If it was natural gas, it would be much safer. . Natural gas is the cleanest and safest household energy available today.”

"Looking at it now, it is also the lowest cost."

Piped gas is not piped gas. The latter is actually replacing the gas tank with a pipe, which is safer, but the toxicity of the gas will not be reduced.Later, piped gas was replaced by piped gas in many cities. In cities, piped gas became the main energy source for life.

Xia Honghua said, "Pipelines involve monopoly operations."

After all, Xia Honghua was the director of the Economic Reform Commission with the sharpest eyes, and he saw the most critical things at a glance.

"Yes." Yao Yuan said frankly, "In fact, it's not just about waiting, they are all monopoly industries. Of course, these two areas are controlled by state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises have absolutely no chance to enter."

He said, "Southern Industrial and the provincial government jointly invested in the establishment of Southern Gas Pipeline Company, which is actually out of this consideration."

"You are quite honest." Xia Honghua laughed.

Vice Governor Zhang said with a smile, "Xiao Yao proposed the cooperation model on his own initiative. We didn't think about it at the beginning. After all, our vision was limited. Director Xia, Xiao Yao is not a person who eats alone. You know one thing."

At this time, Wen Tiejun came back to his senses, "Xiao Yao, why don't you ask for a shareholding if we cooperate?"

Monopoly companies of course like to take monopoly business, and Wen Tiejun smelled huge profits.

Among other things, building the official website, even if it is rented out, it will be a lot of money!

Yao Yuan said, "Yes, as long as the priority is to purchase natural gas from Dongfang Petroleum."

His goal is to consume 200 million tons of natural gas. Guangdong Province can consume 50 tons, and the remaining 150 million tons can be consumed in other coastal cities.

Wen Tiejun smiled immediately, "Well, that's not bad."

His statement means that the future gas pipeline giant has taken shape.

Yao Yuan spread his hands, "Then, 300 million tons of natural gas is enough, isn't it?"

Xia Honghua said with a wry smile, "Xiao Yao, things are not that simple."

"I know, in fact, there is no need to worry. The underwriting contract will only start in October next year. In addition to the time for the first 100 million tons, it will take at least eighteen months. We are ready in Guangdong Province. Six months is fine."

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "In more than two years, no matter what, the gas pipelines in more than a dozen major cities along the coast can be built, right?"

"If everything goes well, there will be no problem." Xia Honghua was still very worried.

Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Director Xia, as long as we don't object, we can go talk to the local government ourselves, one by one, it won't take a year."

Yes, people can directly negotiate with the local government. The local government will only welcome the large amount of capital investment and will not oppose it.

Wen Tiejun just laughed, dealing with local governments, their Petroleum Corporation is more powerful than many ministries and commissions.

"Okay, I'll submit the report immediately after returning to Beijing." Xia Honghua was very helpless, being led by the nose again by Yao Yuan, but it was a good thing.

Since Yao Yuan proposed to Shenzhen City to build a gas pipeline a year ago, and then reached a comprehensive cooperation with the provincial government to establish a joint venture company to be responsible for the construction and operation of gas pipelines in cities across the province, he has already considered the bid for the Shidan Oilfield.

What confuses everyone is how did Yao Yuan predict that the United Arab Emirates would open tenders, and how did he judge that ADNOC's biggest concern was natural gas?

There is no answer to this question, and perhaps this is the reason why Yao Yuan was able to achieve such great achievements in just two or three years.

Just like fighting, some people don't need to learn, they are born invincible generals, such as Li Yunlong.

The Big Four had lunch together after the discussion. Xia Honghua returned to Beijing. Vice Governor Zhang flew directly to Nangang to continue watching the battle at the Baojun Automobile production base. Yao Yuan and Wen Tiejun drank tea in another place and continued to discuss the details of cooperation.

In less than an hour, the preliminary cooperation content was reached.

What Wen Tiejun said about going back and calling a meeting to study this is of course a strategy. After he keenly sensed the huge profits, he agreed without hesitation.

As the top leader, his words are the decision of the Petroleum Corporation.

Everyone knows that the head of the state-owned enterprise does not care about the business, that is the business of the deputy, and once the head of the state-owned enterprise starts to manage it himself, it means that this business is not only huge in profit but also of great political significance.

This is achievement.

Yao Yuan has already sent three big gifts to Wen Tiejun for overseas oilfield exploration and production, oil pipelines, and gas pipelines. If there is no accident, Wen Tiejun will go further.

In a good mood, Wen Tiejun waved his hand and promised to fully support the exploration and production of the Shidan Oilfield, which reassured Yao Yuan.

The Petroleum Corporation already has many exploration and production teams serving in the Tyumen Oilfield and Baku Oilfield. If they support the exploration of the Shidan Oilfield, it will definitely affect their normal work. This is what Yao Yuan is worried about.

Now with Wen Tiejun's statement, this problem will be solved.

Winning the Shikotan oil field is only the first step, and the key is to get oil out, and this means that huge capital needs to be continuously invested.

Many colleagues are waiting for the failure of Dongfang Petroleum Exploration to take over the Shidan Oilfield...
