Ancient people usually had a tablet in their homes called "The Lord of Heaven and Earth, Lord and Lord". The Lord of Heaven and Earth was the object of Chinese folk sacrifices. In the old days, people often set up tablets or banners for the Lord of Heaven and Earth to enshrine in the middle hall. It was used to worship heaven and earth and ancestors in ancient times.
It is a synthesis of folk sacrifices such as offering sacrifices to saints and sages. Offering sacrifices to heaven and earth originated from the worship of nature. In ancient China, heaven was the supreme god, dominating everything, and matching heaven with earth to nurture all things. Offering sacrifices to heaven and earth meant obeying the will of heaven and thanking nature. Offering sacrifices to kings originated from monarchy.
The concept of divine right. Since the king is the symbol of the country in feudal society, offering sacrifices to the king also has the meaning of praying for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people. Offering sacrifices to relatives is also worshiping ancestors, which developed from the primitive ancestor worship. Priests are sacrifices to saints, which originated from the tradition of offering sacrifices to sages.
, specifically refers to Confucius, who is the teacher of all generations, and also generally refers to the Confucian tradition founded by Confucius.
There is also such a tablet in the chairman's house, but it is not shared and worshiped. There is no emperor now, but this king still exists. In the previous society, the old masters would definitely talk about being loyal to the emperor, but how to do it is another matter.
Thinking about it, this Li Cong is obviously not very loyal to the emperor, otherwise the room would have been silent for five minutes without saying anything. The chairman is also a person who has seen the world, and he also knows that the current energy group is definitely not an ordinary enterprise.
His own tricks didn't work for Li Cong at all. The reason why Li Cong returned to China was for some other reasons. The words of the old man of the Li family were just an excuse. In the future, the Chinese government cannot use its rights to demand what the energy group should and shouldn't do.
What have you done? The establishment of the Department of Natural Gas Production in the United States is to give the government power. If the chairman could not even understand this, he would have been forced out of office long ago.
"The government is preparing to increase the pace of the development of the western region this year. Is there anything your group wants to do in the western region?" Seeing Li Cong's appearance of an old monk entering meditation, the chairman felt very angry. He knew
You are angry, but who are you shaming? The first thing a head of state should consider is the country. Your position is also in front of me. Besides, you are not related to me. How can so many people's objections be ignored?
Don't take it to heart, just take care of you?
The development of the western region? Li Cong's brain seems to be a little short-circuited. Didn't this happen several years ago? The government has not raised this issue very much in the past few years. Why is it talking about it again at this time? There are some problems in the western region.
It’s a joke. It turns out that China and Central Asian countries have laid various oil and gas pipelines. Ten years ago, they were planning to import from there to China. Now, energy groups are using these pipelines for export.
Originally, the energy group wanted to buy out these pipelines at once, but the government only agreed to rent them out for economic interests and did not agree to sell them. Since the chairman proposed such a motion, he would have to take some advantage.
In fact, what the energy group mainly needs is the main line in the West-East Gas Transmission Project. Tektronix's plan did not give China the green light. At that time, the Tarim Basin was the largest natural gas base in the country. Now it only has 30% of the original output, which is no longer the case.
Now that it is worth mining, the government is preparing to close the Tarim Oilfield. It’s just that the West-East Gas Pipeline, a huge project costing hundreds of billions of yuan, had to be shut down. Otherwise, the questions raised by the representatives at the National People’s Congress would not have been so easy to fool.
Yes, after all, the West-East Gas Transmission Project was promoted a bit too much back then.
"Chairman, the energy group only has one grain base in the northwest region." The chairman was not happy to hear Li Cong's statement. What does "just" mean? Is that a small thing? Of course not, the annual output of 300 million tons of wheat is
, the world's largest grain production base, with a railway network extending in all directions, is such a base that has caused many farmers at home and abroad to abandon their farm tools and enter the city, exacerbating the already emerging urban diseases. Li Cong saw the chairman frown.
He frowned, knowing that he was being exaggerated, and then said respectfully, "The group does have plans to set up a natural gas production base in the west, but Xinjiang is not very suitable. I want to set up a large natural gas base in Gansu, which can reach the annual
The output is 400 billion cubic meters, but there are still some difficulties at present, and I haven't made up my mind yet." Li Cong looked at the chairman with some embarrassment, and this difficulty will be gone as soon as you nod.
The chairman is also a mature man. How could he not know what Li Cong wants? Is it just that pipeline? But that pipeline is more than 1,000 kilometers from Gansu to Tarim, and the government spent more than 100 billion back then.
You can't just take it for nothing. It would be great if the energy group was willing to buy the West-East Gas Pipeline line in the east as well. The chairman just thought about it for himself. Li Cong foolishly bought such a useless section.
What are the pipes for? The government does not allow us to engage in the retail sale of natural gas.
Energy groups now sell 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Russia every year through the West-East Gas Pipeline, 10 billion cubic meters to Central Asian countries, and 10 billion cubic meters to Eastern Europe. This is mainly because these countries still have
In the production of natural gas, once all production is stopped, the export volume of the Energy Group will increase several times. By then, if we buy the pipelines in Russia, we can go directly to the hinterland of Europe. At that time, that will be the ultimate goal of the Energy Group, regardless of Europe.
No matter who is in power, energy issues are a top priority. You can't let people give up natural gas that is less polluting and use coal gas instead.
"Of course there will be difficulties. How can a person's life be smooth sailing? I have an idea to share with you first. Now the West-East Gas Transmission Project has basically stopped, and the government lacks funds for the development of the western region. I think
This gas pipeline is new and hasn’t been used for a few years. Doesn’t your energy group need it?” We finally got to the point. If most of what we talked about today are conceptual in nature, this is the only substantive issue.
.
The current energy group is using this pipeline, but it has to pay a usage fee of 6 billion yuan every year. This money is not enough to maintain the pipeline, and when it can be used and when it cannot be used, others have the final say.
It was very inconvenient for both parties. Li Cong originally thought that the government would not sell such a large project, but he did not expect that the chairman had this intention now, and he could no longer refuse.
"Chairman, to be honest, our energy group really needs this pipeline. I have asked some government officials. The section from Gansu to Tarim is more than 1,300 kilometers in total. The original cost was 1,395
100 million yuan, I don’t include depreciation expenses, you can just buy it at the original price, I don’t know what you mean?” On the surface, this proposal is a loss for Li Cong, but in fact, there is nothing depreciable about this thing, it is that it will be used for decades.
I can't see anything. There have been a lot of maintenance costs in recent years. It's just that the government's losses cannot be asked of the energy group. The reason why Li Cong directly stated the energy group's needs was that he didn't worry about anything else. Now besides
Energy group, who would buy such a big piece of waste?
The chairman gave Li Cong a meaningful look. He was a dignified head of state, just like a businessman. However, this business was indeed a bit big. Apart from himself, no one in this country was qualified to talk about this issue. The government announced how many people there would be this year.
Trillions of taxes, but only you can understand that although it looks glamorous, in fact, the money is still far behind. The government still has no money. Russia makes a living by selling castles and the like. Although China is not at that level,
However, selling such a project has indeed reached the limit of lack of money. There are places that need money everywhere, and the tax revenue for the money is only so small, so it is difficult.
"Haha, this is just a statement. I didn't expect you to understand it so thoroughly. It seems that you have been paying attention to this pipeline for a long time. It is not something that can be explained clearly in a short time. The price is easy to negotiate. The key point I want to say is Tarim.
There are hundreds of thousands of oil workers nearby, and several groups have come to Beijing to petition recently." The chairman stopped talking. The meaning was obvious. Your proposal is not impossible, as long as you can bring these hundreds of thousands of oil workers to Beijing.
Once arrangements are made, everything will be fine.
Li Cong lost his temper when he heard this. It wasn't that he didn't want to arrange for these oil workers, but these people were used to being the bosses in the oil fields. Would they be willing to pay three thousand yuan a month? He would not restore the previous position of the Energy Group.
The salary is high, and besides, the current oil fields are all temporary workers doing backbreaking work. These hundreds of thousands are all regular employees, who usually drink tea and chat in the office. It’s really hard to rely on them to do serious work, and they can’t do anything.
They have to petition, and eating them is like swallowing a fly.
There are tens of thousands of oil workers among the employees of the energy group, and only a small number of them have acceptable performance. Most of them are self-proclaimed people who have no ability, and can do nothing except compare with their treatment. Besides,
In the past, the oil fields were managed by the government, but now the energy groups are managed by enterprises. There are many conflicts between the two.
The chairman also knows these things, but he really can't arrange them. Their fathers were all members of the Xinjiang Construction Corps back then, and they shed blood and sweat for the motherland. Now, regardless of their juniors, their hearts are really cold.
Not to mention myself, even some veteran cadres in Beijing's elderly care are very concerned about their lives. If I don't make arrangements well, I will be left with a lot of trouble.
Both sides were in a dilemma. When the chairman saw that it was time to eat, he took Li Cong to a small restaurant in Zhongnanhai to eat. At first, Li Cong didn't think anything of it. He was very comfortable eating this light side dish, but then he
I understand what the chairman means. This is for others to see. Although there are no reporters taking pictures here, Zhongnanhai is a place that attracts attention from all parties. Within half an hour, the whole capital was filled with people when Li Cong had dinner with the chairman.
You will know, and then everyone will know that the energy group has reconciled with the government.
All in all, there are advantages and disadvantages. Once such a gesture is made, Li Cong will not be able to implement some policies. After all, after you have dinner with the Chairman, you will have to raise prices in China. This kind of thing is still difficult to do.
There are advantages, that is, it is announced to the public that the energy group has reconciled with the government. Officials within the government are worried about offending the energy group all day long. If they are on good terms with the energy group, they feel that their spring is coming again.
The chairman at the dinner table also noticed Li Cong's displeasure. After all, no one would be happy to be plotted against, even if you were the head of state.
"Haha, the general election is about to take place in Hong Kong. What do you think of He Chenghui? You are a businessman and you will not have these factional problems within the government. I asked you so casually, and you said so casually, you are not taking it seriously.
." If someone else had said this, it might have been really inappropriate and just considered gossip at the dinner table. But who are the two people on the table now? One is the head of state of a major country in the world, and the other is the president of the largest group. Like this
"Gossip" is a bit disturbing.
Li Cong's thinking was a little behind the chairman. Can the brain of a great man be that of an ordinary person, especially the leader of these 1.3 billion people? He quickly found a place for Li Cong to fill. He Chenghui is now the Secretary of Justice of Hong Kong
Chairman, originally his backing was Stanley Ho. The Ho family is pretty good in Macau, but a little underwhelming in Hong Kong. But behind the Ho family is the energy group. What the chairman said is to sell Li Cong to save face. Anyway, how does the chief executive do things?
It’s not up to Beijing. Li Cong wants to further increase Hong Kong’s position in the energy group structure, and good government support is indispensable. If the chief executive is one of his own, it will save a lot of effort.
Speaking of this, there is no doubt about the ability of He Chenghui. There are family reasons for taking this position at the age of fifty. His cousin is Stanley Ho, but there are also reasons that are inseparable from his own ability. If this guy knows
I don't know how happy he will be when his name comes out of the mouth of a head of state.
"Chairman, I don't know this person very well. I think the central government's will shall prevail." It's not easy for Li Cong to make any comments on this kind of matter. After all, every move of the Chairman is watched by others. This may also be criticized by others.
I've written it down. If this guy does well in the future, it's because the chairman has a keen eye for people, and it has nothing to do with him. If he doesn't do well, then he will definitely be found guilty of improper recommendation. This is the case these days.
The credit is not yours, and you have to carry the mistakes.
Some words don’t need to be said clearly. Li Cong is not the chairman’s subordinate, and there is no need to force Chairman Li Congcheng’s favor. Just say it. Everyone understands in their hearts that with the chairman’s words, Li Cong has no need to force the chairman’s favor.
Thousands of workers have nothing to complain about. Anyway, according to the three-month elimination system implemented by the energy group, those whose work does not meet the regulations should leave after three months. At worst, they can just treat these hundreds of thousands of people as being supported for three months.
, how much money can you spend, but this little money can buy you the chief executive of Hong Kong.
