v5 Chapter 891: Crazy gas station

Seven inspected Zong's offshore drilling at Fan Xin, Cheng. Taking the ship-borne helicopter back to 6 is fragile...Ganglan, there is a large group of people making noise below. It seems that there are police cars and police officers working on the scene, so he ordered the pilot to lower the helicopter to see what happened. .

Wu Fukuan, governor of Donghai Province, said with some worry, "Long, it is not safe to lower the flight altitude."

Fan Heng replied. "It's okay. When I was in Rock, I often flew at low altitudes. The advantage of a helicopter is that it is convenient. You can check the situation on the ground at any time, but it is not a special plane."

The driver lowered the height in accordance with Van Hyung’s request, and then saw the situation clearly. It turned out that there were about two to three hundred people gathered near a private gas station. They were facing each other with sticks in their hands. More than a dozen policemen drove more than a dozen police cars stuck in the middle to avoid violent conflict between the two sides.

"Go and find out what's going on?" Wu Fukuan felt a little embarrassed about his face.

Fan Heng finally came to the East China Sea for an inspection, but this kind of thing happened. Wu Fukuan was naturally very uncomfortable in his heart, so he asked people to contact the following to see what happened.

Lei drove Lixuan to communicate with the following via radio, and he quickly figured out the situation. It turned out that something went wrong at a private gas station on the highway between Linzhou City and Haicheng City in Donghai Province. Just start below.

"What is the reason?" Fan Xin asked.

"I heard it was because of the quality of the oil." The co-pilot replied.

Fan Heng nodded. Some understanding in my heart. Take a look at the situation in the world. The collapse of the Nasdaq has little real impact on China's economy. Instead, it has given the country a chance to show through and stand out.

This year is a good prospect for the Chinese economy. Driven by the upcoming addition of …, the macroeconomic prosperity index has risen significantly since the beginning of the year, and the GDP will almost exceed 9 trillion yuan. An increase of eight percentage points over the previous year, the economic efficiency of enterprises has improved.

The most surprising and exciting sight is that state-owned enterprises, which have always been sluggish, have the most eye-catching performance. Their number has been greatly reduced, but their efficiency has risen. A total of more than 200 billion yuan of profit was achieved throughout the year, a small year-on-year increase of 140%, setting a record for the highest level of profit since the 1990s.

All this, of course, was brought about by the strategic adjustment of the "national retreat and the people advance".

This reform, which started more than two years ago, has been carried out with firmness and turmoil. Since the central government has not issued a specific plan for the reform of property rights clarification, the privatization experiments in various regions have shown their own magical powers.

In those areas where state-owned assets are monopolized, reforms are also underway, but the way they manifest themselves is different.

In general, there are roughly three changes. One is the large-scale overall seaware listing. China Telecom, China Unicom, and PetroChina have all decided to go public in New York or Hong Kong. State-owned companies that have always been conservative are collectively going to the sea. Ordinary overseas financing issues include great determination and painful choices for active change.

The second is a large-span split and reorganization based on breaking monopoly and enhancing competition. In the world's accusations against telecommunications and other industries, the oligarchs quietly raised their scalpels to themselves. China Telecom will be divided into five, China Petroleum and Petrochemical will re-separate, China Civil Aviation is planning to reorganize, China Nonferrous Metals Group will be dissolved on the spot, China's five major military industrial groups will be divided into ten, and almost all old state-owned companies are breaking up.

The third is the emergence of entrepreneur groups in state-owned companies, and they are beginning to show their entrepreneurial qualities. As the direct operators of the two major changes in listing and restructuring, this group that has always been low-key and stable is pushed to the forefront, and their entrepreneurial potential has been unprecedentedly stimulated and demonstrated.

International media have also observed this change, according to a review in the Asian Wall Street Journal. These new actions to shut down companies indicate that China's economic model is undergoing major changes.

Among these events, the changes in the petroleum and petrochemical industry are the best examples of the above judgments.

The beginning of this year. The most popular commodity in the country is the gas station. In some places, its price has soared three or four times. Gas stations are popular not because they are particularly profitable, but because someone is looting.

The petroleum industry is the pillar industry of the national economy. According to the rules of …, once China joins the organization, it will reduce the import tariff of refined oil to 6% within one or two years and liberalize retail within three years. The approval will be released within five years.

In order to cope with this inevitably competitive situation, China's oil and petrochemical industry, which has been exclusively suspended since the previous year, underwent a major reorganization and formed two major group companies, PetroChina and Sinopec.

According to the plan at the time. The two major companies have divided the total oil field resources and the assets of the refining enterprises. In terms of business, they have implemented a river-based governance with the Yangtze River as the boundary.

This plan seems to have formed a corporate structure integrating upstream and downstream. It also avoids face-to-face business competition.

After the formation of the two major oil groups, they immediately launched a competition for gas stations. In the view of their decision makers, as long as all gas stations can be collected before the multinational oil giants break into China, then a Maginot line of defense will naturally be formed, at least in the future there will be room for negotiation.

The beginning of this year. Sinopec is the first to announce that it will spend 25 billion yuan in the acquisition of gas stations within five years. PetroChina immediately proposed a completely similar acquisition plan, but in actual operations, the actual investment greatly exceeded this budget.

According to the principle of planning, Jiang and Zhi, the two major companies should be acquired on their respective sites, but this agreement was quickly broken, and gas stations across the country suddenly became the target of looting.

Looking at it for now. The cost of constructing a gas station in an economical coastal city ranges from 600,000 to 1 million yuan. However, in the acquisition war, due to the bidding of the two giants, the selling price increased, and some popular sites increased three to four times within a year.

According to "Southern Weekend" reports, the two companies' scramble regardless of cost raised the price cost. In Sichuan, the cost of acquiring a gas station ranges from 2 to 8 million yuan, while in Shenqi and Guangzhou, it is generally about 10 to 15 million yuan.

In Shishi City, Fujian Province. For a medium-sized gas station with a superior geographic location, Sinopec and PetroChina competed for more than a dozen rounds.

Based on the data recently announced by Sinopec, more than 9,000 gas stations will be added nationwide this year, which means that nearly 30 gas stations will be acquired every day, bringing the total number of gas stations in the entire group to more than 25,000. PetroChina is confident that it will add more than 1,500 new petrol stations this year. The total number of gas stations has reached more than 11,000

At present, there are about 80,000 gas stations in the country, among which the number of private gas stations is quite large. These private gas stations have become the hunting targets of the two major companies. Gas stations are facing an existential crisis, coupled with the existence of various uncertainties, so this time the acquisition of the two major oil companies has actually become their most rare opportunity. Therefore, in a short period of time, the gas station Almost all of the private capital has withdrawn.

In addition to putting existing gas stations into the bag, PetroChina and Sinopec have also implemented two monopolistic strategies in the name of national interests. The first is to obtain the monopoly qualification for newly-built sites. The "Notice on Strict Control of Newly-built Gas Stations" under the State Economic and Trade Commission and other three ministries and commissions clearly stipulates that in the future, the two major groups, Sinopec and CNPC, will be responsible for newly-built gas stations.

This strict control policy also caused dissatisfaction with the local government. Twenty days after the notice, Jiaxing City in Xijiang Province issued a government approval document to approve the establishment of 24 gas stations in the local area, of which 18 are owned by the two major Construction by investors outside the group.

The approval of this place immediately caused a backlash from the oil authorities, leading to a quarrel.

The analysis by the media was sharp: Before the notice from the Economic and Trade Commission, all localities had the authority to build gas stations, but after the "strict control", taxation mainly went to the central government, and the local governments lost a piece of financial resources, and naturally there would be a rebound.

The second is to carry out large-scale and compulsory acquisition and exclusion of private oil fields.

In the middle and late 1990s, small private capital has penetrated into the oil extraction field. In Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Jilin and other places, private business owners engaged in the oil extraction industry through joint operations and contracting.

These oil fields are small, small-scale oil wells with relatively high production costs, and some are even abandoned oil wells that are abandoned but not produced by state-owned oil fields. The existence of these oil wells has seriously threatened the profits of the two major oil companies. The existence of these private owners is considered to be the source of disrupting the order of the oil market and creating environmental pollution. Therefore, incorporating and reorganizing these private oil wells has become a strategic measure.

The media once disclosed an example that can explain the actual situation.

The Yiqiikelike Oilfield in Kuqa County, Xinjiang is an abandoned integrated oilfield in China. Since 1958, after nearly 30 years of exploitation, a total of nearly 300 wells have been drilled and a total of 90 crude oil has been produced. More than 10,000 tons. Due to the gradual decrease in crude oil production in the oilfield, it was nearly exhausted, and the Tarim Oilfield Branch of PetroChina determined that it had no industrial exploitation value and classified it as a waste oil well. The year before last, PetroChina withdrew from the Yiqi Creek oil field. Soon, a private company called Jinhe entered the oil field. It reached an agreement with the local government to extract oil from nearly three hundred abandoned oil wells. About ten thousand tons.

Jinhe produces oil from waste oil wells. Displeased PetroChina. The Tarim Oilfield branch has repeatedly reported to the autonomous region government that it sued the Kuqa County Government to cooperate with Jinhe Company to operate oil and gas resources beyond its authority, violated the Mineral Resources Law and violated PetroChina’s prospecting rights. .

Like the gas station approval incident in Jiaxing, the oil company's monopoly on oil fields also caused a rebound in local interests.

PetroChina also submitted a report to the State Economic and Trade Commission not long ago, opposing the Lingxi Provincial Government's plan to reorganize private oil fields in Lingxi Province. The report stated that private and county-level drilling and production companies in the Lingxi area were indiscriminately exploiting and cooperating with private oil bosses to seize oil fields under PetroChina with a mining area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers. The two sides have had multiple disputes over the years, which caused 100% More than 50 group conflicts have resulted in many casualties.

The Lingxi Provincial Economic and Trade Commission also submitted a report to the State Economic and Trade Commission, arguing that local oil development has embarked on a scientific, standardized, and orderly track, and that local oil companies with local oil companies as the main body are capable of rationally opening oil fields. .

The report of Lingxi Province also stated that CNPC used the national resource management mechanism and its own convenience to preemptively register most of the oil resources in the Lingxi area, and even registered some of the original oilfields in the province under its own name. , Resulting in idle resources, and no substantial development.

The report also said that leaving the oil, the local finances in the northwestern part of Ling will be in trouble again, and the people's sentiment will be unstable.

It is precisely because PetroChina and Sinopec not only grab resources from each other, but also grab resources from private companies, and use their policy advantages to squeeze private companies and local companies, which has caused a lot of backlashes everywhere. The scramble scene that Fan Heng and Wu Fukuan saw on the helicopter today was actually a strategy of suppressing the gas station under the pretext of oil quality.

Fan Heng observed the situation on the plane. The location of this gas station is indeed very good, and the scale is also relatively large, coupled with its private status, it is strange not to be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of others!

It is conceivable that in the following conflicts, people from the two major oil companies may not be instigated behind the scenes.

"The standards of the two major oil companies are really ugly!" Fan Heng said casually.

"Recently, oil prices have risen drastically~lightnovelpub.net~ If the two major oil companies completely cut off the market, I am afraid we can't even drive a car." Wu Fukuan also complains about the market embezzlement of the two major oil companies. Hearing this, I have to make a small report to express my dissatisfaction.

After all, the market expansion of the two major oil companies has caused a large loss of local taxes in Donghai Province, which makes Wu Fukuan feel very distressed, and it is impossible to have no complaints.

Fan Heng nodded and said, "Drawing a river to rule is just wishful thinking. In fact, when it comes to the market, everything is involuntary. Even if you are close to brothers and there are walls, let alone an opponent of conflict of interest? It’s just that the market competition has caused a lot of hands-on actions. I really don’t know who is causing the problem?"

Fan Heng decided after seeing the situation here. After returning home, he must cool down the leaders of the two major oil companies. At least let them know that they will converge a little. What Qianfu is referring to.

Compulsory monopolies that rely on administrative orders like PetroChina and Sinopec are obviously more hated than natural monopolies that rely on research capabilities and market share like Microsoft.

Acquiring the fire of gas stations. You really need to operate under control, and you must not let the fire burn yourself.
