Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 540 Price Quote, Three-System Energy

Dongshan Prefecture, City Central Court.

There are still more than forty minutes before the bidding meeting begins.

Yu Yang chatted with the gaunt old man for a few minutes, then continued scanning the scene with his SY handheld console.

Pacific Oil & Gas Group on the left

BP, England

The company on the right, China Gas Holdings Limited (CNGC), despite its "China" in its name and its impressive-sounding name, is actually a wholly foreign-owned enterprise specializing in natural gas pipeline construction, gas equipment sales, and technical services.

The above is the first row; the second row consists of China Resources, Sinopec, and PetroChina.

The third row includes Zhongtai Gas, ENN and Hong Kong & China Gas, which are partners with BP.

The fourth row includes Kunlun Energy, Western Energy, and National Pipeline.

The fifth row includes Beijing Gas, Shanghai Gas, and Luzhou Gas.

Then, starting from the sixth row, the next four rows are all construction companies and pipeline companies, including the skinny old man's construction team, which is affiliated with Sanyuan Construction.

At this time.

The gaunt old man suddenly spoke up: "Damn it, there's still half an hour before it starts, and all these managers have already arrived. They used to always arrive right on time."

Amidst the sighs, the person in charge of the Dongshan Development and Reform Commission and the person in charge of Dongshan Land Resources, along with a group of officials of all ranks, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with the representatives of the companies participating in the bidding, starting from the first row.

The reporters following behind quickly pressed their camera shutters to capture the grand occasion.

The gaunt old man curled his lip. "In the past, when it came to bidding, we wouldn't even glance at the bidding companies, let alone shake their hands. But today, we've met some foreign VIPs... tsk tsk..."

Then, glancing at the information on SY's handheld device, he said unsurprisedly, "Boss, big data isn't omnipotent. Even with full access, there are still some things you definitely won't know."

"Oh?" Yu Yang curiously put away the handheld console.

"Look at that resource manager, isn't she pretty? To tell you the truth, fifteen years ago she was just a hotel waitress, only 16 years old at the time. One time she was entertaining a VIP, she ended up in bed with him, and they became lovers. From then on, she rose through the ranks to where she is now."

Yu Yang was slightly taken aback, and an event from another time and space immediately came to mind.

Around 07, this woman, who rose to power through being a mistress, shocked the entire East by riding a homemade airplane in the street.

Some say that the person behind her wanted a promotion and didn't want to leave any evidence against her, so he instructed his confidants to deal with the lover.

Some say that this was orchestrated by the rivals of the person behind him, first using Boom to escalate the situation, and then bringing down the person behind him.

But no matter what, the water in that tank was indeed black and smelly.

After telling everything he knew, the gaunt old man looked at the person in charge of the Dongshan Development and Reform Commission and said, "This is also remarkable."

"How to say?"

"Back then, when Lao Dong was transferred from Taizhou to the Development and Reform Commission, he was parachuted in. He was like a lone wolf, unable to command anything. Even though Lao Dong controlled 45 state-owned enterprises in Dongshan with his three industrial chains, he still didn't have the final say in the Development and Reform Commission system. And the person in front of us is the one who caused all of this."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang raised an eyebrow.

In fact, Lao Dong's entry into Dongshan Development and Reform Commission was a deal with the Dongshan General Manager, who was in charge of the reform of state-owned enterprises in Dongshan.

After completing the task, Lao Dong used it as a springboard to leave Dongshan and get promoted again, so he went to Meihekou and then entered Tibet.

Therefore, Lao Dong has no interest whatsoever in whether or not he takes control of the Dongshan Development and Reform Commission.

In other words, they don't think much of it.

However, some people inevitably want to step on Dong Dashu to establish their own authority.

"What 'Old Dong'? Come here, even dragons will cower before you, and tigers will grovel before you."

'Old Dong? He's nobody.'

"Goodness, I need to have a chat with Old Dong."

Yu Yang immediately called Lao Dong and told him the story as a joke, his words laced with schadenfreude.

Old Dong on the other end of the phone was so angry his nose was crooked.

The gaunt old man sitting next to him listened intently, his eyelids twitching, and he instinctively wanted to slip away.

Yu Yang hung up the phone and grabbed the other person, "The bidding meeting is about to start, where are you going?"

"I'm getting old, and I urinate frequently."

"It's okay, just pee here, I won't mind."

"."

The bidding process officially began, and the host read out the important notes.

This tender was not a large-scale tender; the project consisted of only one main pipeline construction project with a bid of around 1500 million RMB, and two steel pipeline construction projects with bids of around 800 million RMB each.

But things are definitely not as simple as they seem.

Twenty minutes later.

The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth rows featured three private enterprises that had never given up on the bidding, who then took the stage to give their speeches.

Each company had ten minutes to introduce its own technology, construction qualifications, construction quality, construction period, and construction quotation.

Since this was not an auction, nor was it a case of the highest bidder winning, the three private companies went to great lengths to secure the project. They not only prepared elaborate PPT tender documents, but also hired a large number of technicians and construction workers from Sanyuan Construction and Sanyuan Machinery at high prices.

Correspondingly, if they win the project, the three private enterprises will definitely lose money, with each losing 80 to 150 million yuan.

The gaunt old man spoke up at the right moment: "Runhua Group must have received news that foreign capital was preparing to enter Dongshan Prefecture. Runhua has taken over the Sanxi Energy project. In order to help Sanxi seize more market share and to consolidate its own position in Dongshan, it is not a loss to pay out a million."

Yu Yang nodded and continued watching the bidding process.

The companies in the third, fourth, and fifth rows are basically partners of the companies in the first two rows. Their participation in this bidding process is like green leaves that set off the flowers. Their bids are very casual and not even as good as those of the three private companies that just took the stage.

soon.

Representatives from Pacific Oil & Gas Group took the stage.

"Dongshanfu is a historically rich and culturally significant city that we love very much. However, upon arriving here, we have witnessed numerous dirty and chaotic communities. To improve the situation and preserve its beauty, we have decided to invest in an environmental energy company in Dongshanfu to generate electricity through the incineration of municipal solid waste. The total investment is approximately 4.27 million Hong Kong dollars. In the second phase, an additional 9 million Hong dollars will be invested. The goal is to process more than 500 tons of waste per day, 70 tons per year, and generate more than 2.7 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, while ensuring that the emissions meet EU standards."

During his speech, the representative also explained the grate furnace technology, automated waste sorting equipment, and automated garbage trucks imported from Belgium.

After Yu Yang read it, he gave the factory secretary a wink.

The latter nodded, operated the computer, and quickly transmitted the information for the urgent investigation.

Pacific Oil & Gas Company is a major subsidiary of Singapore’s Golden Eagle Group.

Founded in 1973, Singapore's Golden Eagle Group is primarily engaged in the energy business. Its founder is Chen Jianghe, a Chinese businessman from Putian, and its total assets are US$350 billion.

Three years ago, the company accepted investment from BlackRock and expanded its business in the East to include pulp, palm oil, cellulose, rubber products, energy and power.

Currently, it poses a threat to Three Series Sun Paper in the paper industry, aiming to replace Sun Paper in the North American market.

Attending the bidding meeting today, it seems they intend to use the natural gas pipeline project to fully enter Dongshan Prefecture and curb the northward development of the three industries.

Under the pressure from Shiliying, Dongshan Prefecture's GDP has been far surpassed by Qinggang, Yancheng, and satellite cities - Liaoshi, Jishui, Weicheng, and Lincheng (Yimeng planting area).

It is comparable to the Yellow River Estuary-Yingshi section after the Yellow River Secondary Road was put into operation.

Because Laiwu Steel, Xintai, and Heze City were successively incorporated into the factory, and Taizhou City was the supervising unit of Shiliying.

In terms of GDP ranking within Dongshan, Dongshan Prefecture is currently only higher than Zibo City, Zaozhuang City, Zhaoqing City, Binzhou City, and Dezhou City.

A rough calculation shows it's near the bottom, which is truly outrageous.

Against this backdrop, Dongshan Prefecture could not refuse foreign investment. However, its own government had given Dongshan Prefecture many opportunities.

Five years ago, Lao Dong hoped that Dongshan Prefecture would return Pingyin, which it had taken from Tai City in 1985. Tai City offered to help Dongshan Prefecture build two high-speed railways, each over 50 kilometers long, within the city. Dongshan Prefecture refused outright.

Four years ago, the governor of Tai City hoped that Dongsan Prefecture would return Zhangqiu. Tai City offered to help Dongsan Prefecture build two high-speed railways with a length of more than 50 kilometers and two subway lines. Dongsan Prefecture refused outright.

Three years ago, the former Pingdong County official, now the deputy governor of Taishi, hoped that Dongshan Prefecture would return Licheng, Zicheng, Changqing, Zhangqiu, and Pingyin. Taishi promised to help Dongshan Prefecture achieve modernization. Dongshan Prefecture officials responded with insults to his face.

Two years ago, the former Pingdong County official, now the Tai City governor, hoped that Dongshan Prefecture would be incorporated into Tai City. Since then, Dongshan Prefecture has stopped paying attention to itself.

Last year, Dongshan Prefecture appointed a new governor and focused on developing Changqing, hoping to align with Shiliying, but still refused to introduce capital from the three major financial groups.

To this end, through Shandong merchants and 45 state-owned enterprises in Dongshan, the company is indirectly promoting the development of Dongshan Prefecture, hoping that Dongshan Prefecture can play the role of a satellite city.

After all, Dongsan Prefecture's Yoqiang Airport can alleviate the pressure on Hangaixi International Airport.

Unexpectedly, instead of allowing their own investment, they introduced foreign capital that was opposed to their own.

Yu Yang immediately contacted Jiang Wenqing, the general manager of Southwest Affairs.

After Lao Dong went to Tibet, he relieved Jiang Wenqing of some of the workload. Currently, Jiang Wenqing is mainly responsible for the Nanyang-Vietnam-Hong Kong-Macau economic circle.

After the call is connected.

"The boss?"

"Arrest Chen Jianghe of the Singapore Golden Eagle Group and subtly remind them that Pacific Oil & Gas Company's actions in Dongshan Prefecture are very displeasing to me."

"Ok!"

...

Countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Australia were basically persuaded by England, under the guise of the Commonwealth, to join the Hong Kong-Macau economic sphere.

Normally, they would completely ignore certain orders from the "Nanyang Alliance Committee of the Vietnam-Hong Kong-Macau Economic Zone" that involve their own interests.

When it comes to arresting wealthy businessmen like Chen Jianghe, Singapore always has to consider its own reputation.

But the Nanyang Combined Fleet was too powerful.

Therefore, after Jiang Wenqing issued the order to arrest Chen Jianghe in the name of "Southern Ocean Defense Chief - Rumsfeld", the target was taken to the 10,000-ton amphibious landing ship on the Japanese island in less than ten minutes.

soon.

The related news spread across various forums on the Sanyuan Communications Network and became a hot topic on the global internet.

No one doubted that Chen Jianghe, whose net worth is $350 billion, was implicated because a project in Dongshan Prefecture worth less than 1500 million yuan was shut down.

Media figures from all walks of life have dug deep into the reasons, with some suspecting that he chose the wrong side, others suspecting that he offended high-ranking officials in Singapore, and still others suspecting that Rumsfeld used his power to retaliate.

Those who knew that Rumsfeld had been taken away by the fat black man, such as Old Brooks, Old Smith, Old Morgan, oil tycoons, European Jews, etc., understood that the business war had begun.

In retaliation, Old Bush initially planned to order the arrest of Wang Zheng and his wife, who were in charge of Sanyuan Foods in North America. However, he reconsidered, realizing that the Carlisle Group was out of money and had no funds to continue operating, while the major shareholder behind the Singapore Golden Eagle Group was BlackRock, which was now controlled by Old Smith…

Furthermore, by arresting Wang Zheng and his wife himself, he would not only offend Yu Sanyuan but also indirectly help Old Smith. It would be far better to let Old Smith take action and offend Yu Sanyuan instead.

So they remained inactive.

Morgan and the oil tycoon shared the same thoughts and were equally indifferent to the matter.

Old Smith had just borrowed money from the Third Department and pretended not to see it.

finally.

Pacific Oil & Gas Company abandoned its ambitious promises and withdrew from bidding for the gas pipeline project in Dongshan Prefecture.

The reason given was that there had been changes at headquarters, and they were in a hurry to raise money to bail out Chairman Chen Jianghe.

...

BP, another company participating in the bidding, along with its partners CNOOC, ENN, Zhejiang Energy, and Hong Kong and China Gas, failed to figure out the real reason for Pacific Oil & Gas's withdrawal and felt that an opportunity had come.

A representative from BP, the British oil company, took the stage to give a speech.

Their words were similar to those of Pacific Oil & Gas Company; they liked Dongshan Prefecture and decided to invest there.

Then they brought in new energy, investing $1 million, with businesses covering chemicals, coal, steel, import and export of goods, and so on.

Founded in 1909, BP, an English oil company, includes companies such as Anglo-Iranian Oil, Amoco, Arco, and Castrol. Its backers include European Jewish capital, the Abu Dhabi consortium, and the Persian Foreign Investment Agency.

Last year's sales reached US$1788 billion, ranking 10th in the Fortune Global 500.

The other party invested in Dongshan Prefecture with the same purpose as Pacific Oil and Gas Company, but the mastermind behind it was European Jewish capital.

After watching the speech, Yu Yang took out his phone and contacted Walton Jr.

"Mr. Yu?"

“Zaxi Warburg has been complaining to me a lot lately, saying he doesn’t want to be suppressed by you anymore. I’m a kind-hearted person and I also care about old friendships, so I plan to help him.”

"Mr. Yu, are you threatening me?"

"No, I just want to tell you that you are pressing hard in the international market, and I can give you some leeway so that you can taste a little sweetness, but I will not give up an inch of the Eastern market."

"Then we'll see."

The European Judaism led by Walton Jr. was trapped in the North American financial market by Smith Sr., and another powerful ally, the Ice Bear Oligarch, died. If they do not seize some market share, they will perish even faster.

Therefore, they were unwilling to give up any opportunity to seize the Eastern market.

Yu Yang put down his phone and gave a wink to the factory secretary who was sitting some distance away.

...

The Gulf of Mexico in North America.

Since the 90s, BP has leased seven deep-sea drilling platforms here.

In the past, accidents such as oil spills and blowouts occurred occasionally.

But capitalists can use the money in their pockets to lobby Congress and make pollution and casualties disappear.

However, today, Tijuana Group detected that the crude oil pollution level in the waters leased by BP (Petro England) was 12.8 times higher than the standard, seriously affecting local fisheries and tourism.

Furthermore, at least 2500 square kilometers of seawater are covered by oil, and an average of 1.2 barrels of crude oil flow daily from beneath deep-sea drilling platforms into the Gulf of Mexico in North America.

In two more years, the seawater at the Tijuana shipyard will also be severely polluted.

As a result, Tijuana immediately sued BP in the North American Supreme Court.

At this time, the Tijuana Group was the second largest financial backer of the North American democratic faction, which, under the guidance of Sr. Smith, had won a majority of seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, and had also gained the support of at least five Supreme Court justices.

Now David Engsger has personally stepped forward and submitted sufficient evidence.

In less than two hours, a California court found BP guilty of gross negligence and willful misconduct.

Followed by.

The North American Environmental Protection Agency prohibits the federal government and individual states from doing business with BP, the British oil company.
The government cancelled all fuel supply contracts between BP (Petro England) and the North American military.
BP cancels its leased offshore oil and gas assets in North America and its allies.

The news is out.

Jamaica, Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and other countries have issued global arrest warrants for the chairman, shareholders, and key executives of BP, the British oil company.

Yu Yang, speaking under the name of "Little Yu Dong," posted a message saying, "There must be a misunderstanding here."

The head of the Abu Dhabi consortium, an investor in BP, praised, "Mr. Yu is right!"
