Chapter 611 New Backer

Hearing that Yang Xing had a good talk about domestic energy strategy and was very consistent with Wen Rengui's spleen and stomach, the two of them naturally did not limit themselves to the issue of shale gas and carried out in-depth discussions. Domestic imported energy has problems that are easily choked in several major strategic directions. The eastern coast is the "second island chain" of Japan, the United States and South Korea. The core is the treasure island that is now quarreling.

In the southeast, the so-called ASEAN countries have given a lot of eye medication in the South China Sea, and none of the thousands of oil wells belong to China. The core Philippines, Vietnam and other countries have caused trouble from time to time in the demarcation of the sea area. The Strait of Malacca, where the domestic bulk oil and natural gas must pass, Singapore, where the throat is located, is a nail that Americans secretly set up, which is called the Malacca dilemma in China.

Afghanistan and Pakistan to the west are located on the plateau, and the Americans are still fighting, and there is a vague trend of surrounding China. India in the southwest appears to be peaceful with China, but it has always regarded China as a rising enemy, and its intention to dominate the Indian Ocean is not concealed. Although Russia, a neighbor in the northwest and northeast, calls China a strategic partner, often supports and echoes China in international affairs, the vigilance of China has never disappeared.

In view of the threat of imported energy, the country has also increased its exploration of its own resources. As the amount of oil exploitation decreases, natural gas projects that replace oil are increasingly valued. The natural gas reserves in the Baling Basin in the southwest and Tarim Basin in the northwest are not low, but the economy of these regions is backward and cannot be used so much, but the coastal areas are in urgent need.

Therefore, in 1998, the central government convened the State Planning Commission and China National Petroleum Corporation to discuss the construction of the "West-East Gas Pipeline" project. Due to Yang Xing's secret promotion, the central government decided to regard the "West-East Gas Pipeline" as a landmark project of the "Western Development" strategy, and started construction two years ahead of Yang Xing's previous life.

The earliest "West-East Gas Pipeline" project only considered sending southwest and northwest natural gas to coastal Modu City and other places. However, with the rise of international oil prices, relatively clean and cheap natural gas is increasingly valued by international attention, and imported natural gas has been put on the agenda. The nature of natural gas determines that it mainly relies on pipeline transportation, and the northwest that is suitable for domestic imported natural gas demand is nothing more than the north and the west. However, China and Russia have never had a result in the negotiations on the natural gas pipelines in East-West Siberia in Northeast China, and natural gas from Central Asia is more promising, so the northwest "West-East Gas Pipeline" pipeline will extend abroad.

After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the largest Central Asian countries in China have frequent economic and trade exchanges in recent years. These countries have backward economies, but they have huge resources. Natural gas is the gold mountain for making money and is very enthusiastic about exports and foreign exchange exchange. All natural gas pipelines that can be transported to Europe are controlled by the Russians. Russia dominates the European natural gas pricing power. Central Asian countries can only make a fraction of the money, so they are naturally dissatisfied. Luck to the east gives China the opportunity to bypass Russia's control. The two sides hit it off. Now the second phase of the "West-East Gas Pipeline" discussed with Kazakhstan in China is about to start.

Yang Xing suggested that once the exploration and development of shale gas in the southwest region is successful, it can be directly connected to the "West-East Gas Pipeline" pipeline, which can save a lot of money. Of course, he promised that he would invest money to develop shale gas by himself, which would never be a waste of time. The core equipment of the pump station that plays a great role in the transportation of the "West-East Gas Pipeline" pipeline is adopted in the former Soviet Union's gas turbine driving method. To put it bluntly, it is another version of the core aircraft engine. Yang Xing asked his subordinate companies to participate in the development.

The components and laying equipment involved in the "West-East Gas Pipeline" pipeline are all large contracts. Yang Xing's company hopes to compete with central state-owned enterprises on the same stage. Since he has shown such a "high character" in shale gas development, it is also a matter of course for Wen Rengui to take care of him. In addition, Wen Rengui also expressed his intention to recruit Yang Xing. Obviously, Yang Xing's words touched him. I imagined Cheng Canghai and let Yang Xing be his private think tank.

It really surprised Yang Xing that he was favored by Wen Rengui. It was difficult to impress him with his power and money as an official. He was more concerned about the future and destiny of the country and the nation. Yang Xing's shale gas report hit Wen Rengui's heart. Yang Xing took the initiative to propose that he would invest in the trial development of shale gas wells and won Wen Rengui's favor. In addition, Yang Xing had his own insights in talking about the national energy strategy and was a practical person. Based on his previous impression of Yang Xing, Wen Rengui finally decided to continue the relationship between Cheng Canghai and Yang Xing, and he was willing to become Yang Xing's new backer in the central government.

Although Yang Xing had made plans early and wanted to win Wen Rengui's support, his quick statement was beyond Yang Xing's expectations, but the huge opportunity was right in front of him, so he naturally could not miss it. Now is his opportunity to perform well. Since Wen Rengui is so concerned about energy issues, Yang Xing has devoted all his knowledge and even expressed the most secret idea of ​​promoting the development of South China Sea resources.

The development of the South China Sea resources involves ASEAN countries and is related to diplomacy. Recently, the domestic plan to establish a common free trade zone is being discussed with ASEAN. Even if Wen Rengui is about to become the prime minister, he should be very cautious. However, Yang Xing said that Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries have already dug hundreds of oil and gas wells, and the annual income from oil and gas is tens of billions of dollars. Since there is a precedent, even if it cannot be done openly, it cannot be secretly done? He proposed that he could first explore and drill wells in the name of private enterprises in the seas controlled by the country, and the domestic maritime department would secretly protect it, or simply pretend to be invisible to the enterprise to purchase weapons and armed forces. Even if something really happens, the domestic country will make excuses for various reasons and help if necessary.

Wen Rengui rarely got angry at Yang Xing's words of heart-wrenching. He looks humble but does not prove that he is a sour scholar who only talks about justice. Modern China is not the "Celestial Kingdom" in history that only focuses on face. He is still a utilitarian in his heart. It is true that friendly negotiations with ASEAN countries are, but it is impossible to leave hundreds of billions of dollars around him every year, pretending not to care. Yang Xing's method of using the people to replace officials to intervene in sea affairs is a good entry point. Even if there is something, it is within the control range. If it really doesn't work, it can be pushed to the company. This idea is very tempting. He did not immediately refuse, but just said that he would go back and discuss with other leaders before making a decision.

After being able to get the support from Wen Rengui, Yang Xing's heart was put down. The big thing was over, and Yang Xing himself had to perform the task of inspecting the investment environment of Chang'an. Although his subordinates were arranged in detail in the early stage, it involved the selection of the entire group's manufacturing base. Yang Xing, a big boss who had not yet resigned from his title of president, could not be used for every move.

Moreover, in addition to the simple functions of industrial parks, several major star cities are increasingly responsible for industrial chain aggregation and enterprise incubation parks. At that time, Yang Xing used the free transfer of patents as bait, allowing many relevant professional companies in China to gather in several major star cities. With the upgrading of the group's manufacturing industry, many businesses were also outsourced to these companies that depend on Zhongxing.

In recent years, Zhongxing Group has conquered cities and territories overseas, and its manufacturing level has developed rapidly, which has also driven the rapid rise of related industries. Now, in addition to its main products, Zhongxing Group's affiliated industries such as mechanical accessories, electronic components, chemical raw materials, etc. are also booming. In recent years, several major Xingchengs have also held special product supporting meetings. Many industry insiders believe that the "private security group" of small and medium-sized enterprises affiliated to Zhongxing Group is comparable to the "regular army" of central enterprises in the same industry.

Now Xingcheng also has service measures such as entrepreneurial funds and micro-enterprise support plans. It provides entrepreneurial assistance to many entrepreneurs who have a skill but lack financial support. They teach them business knowledge step by step in the initial stage of the establishment of a company. After the company grows up, they either invest in shares or obtain certain returns based on investment, which plays a role that is comparable to foreign "VC funds".

Therefore, Yang Xing considers the location of the new Star City, not just how many policy benefits the local government can offer, but also to include the local industrial development and scientific research and education level, and take it into consideration. Yang Xing’s heart will immediately be put into production as soon as the Star City is built, and he does not want to be constrained by factors such as poor infrastructure and lack of talents. In the past, except for Jiudu City, which was his place of wealth and Shancheng was his hometown, other cities chose municipalities and open cities to look at local conditions.

Of course, in addition to inspecting the investment environment of Chang'an, another purpose of coming to Chang'an cannot be missed. Chang'an has the best aircraft manufacturing capabilities in China and is also one of the sub-venues of the military's "Nuclear High-Basics" acceptance meeting. Many of the results are related to Zhongxing Group. Last time, Yang Xing admired the heroic posture of the first domestic aircraft carrier in Lanhai. This time, he came to Chang'an to visit the nationally famous aircraft city with Wen Rengui - Yanlong.

As an ancient capital, Chang'an has a history of no less than Jiudu. As the capital of the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties in history, its historical reputation is well-known at home and abroad, so it is also a major northwest throat town that countries have valued in all dynasties. Compared with the treatment of becoming a prefecture-level city in a province after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chang'an, as the capital of Lingxi Province, is naturally higher in value, and its economic and political status ranks very high among the western provinces. Many key universities in the country are located here, and they also have many national scientific research institutions. They have very strong scientific and technological strength and the level of high-tech industries is also extraordinary. The most prominent of them is the aircraft manufacturing industry.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country established AVIC Northwest Aircraft Manufacturing Company, AVIC First Aircraft Design Research Institute, AVIC Flight Test Research Institute and other units in Yanlong District, northeast of Chang'an. The area has also become the largest "avalent city" in Asia that integrates aircraft research and design, production, intensity testing, test flight identification, and aviation teaching. Shanghai
