Many times, you know where the loophole is, but you can't plug it directly.
Take happy energy's operation of ensuring the stability of Xiangjiang energy supply with relatively peaceful refined oil prices. How can it not be expected at the first time that the price difference drives speculators to pursue profits? But this smart man just can't be in a hurry.
The Jianghu is very deep. It is not enough to do a good job only with kindness.
The objective fact at this stage is that the price of refined oil has soared and happy energy is also rising, but the price increase is lower than that of international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco.
In this case, who can guarantee that consumers will be grateful when they buy Refined oil from happy energy?
At the same time, no matter how happy energy waves the banner of justice to help the Hong Kong Government ensure the energy supply of Xiangjiang, it is actually blocking the wealth of hoarders.
In the final analysis, this job should be the job of the government. Only when it takes action can it deter all kinds of cock and dog thieves, but who makes the Hong Kong government incompetent.
Since the Zhengfu didn't make a move in person, there is more room for doubt. Moreover, happy energy is really unprofitable and can't get up early.
Therefore, happy energy, to some extent, condoned the behavior of hoarders running to rush to buy Refined oil.
As for the loss caused by this, it should be the necessary cost. If you have high string of oil at home, you can do it regardless.
At this time, Gao Xian and Zhang Yongkang, who is in charge of the group's public relations, paid a private visit in micro clothes at a happy energy gas station in the north corner of Hong Kong Island.
Looking around, I can see that there are people walking back and forth and whispering in the long queue from time to time, which is very comfortable. In contrast, the staff of happy energy gas station are very busy.
Zhang Yongkang pointed out, "that guy should be a leader."
Gao Xian asked faintly, "what's the current public opinion?"
Zhang Yongkang replied knowingly: "after intensive and in-depth reports, the majority of people in Xiangjiang not only complain about soaring prices, but also greatly appreciate happy energy's efforts to maintain the stability of Xiangjiang's energy supply, but also abhor the disturbance of hoarders."
Gao Xian nodded slightly. "Now that most people have realized that a small number of people are infringing on everyone's interests, we can fight hard."
Before leaving, Gao Xian told Zhang Yongkang, "pay attention to those who splash dirty water on us. I don't want to do good deeds and get a reputation."
When he saw Shi Yueqiang, chairman of the consumption Committee, Gao Xian said with a winning ticket: "Sir Shi, you can take strike action."
At this time, more than a week has passed since Shi Yueqiang was appointed chairman of the consumption Committee and Gao Xian was appointed Vice Chairman of the consumption Committee.
Seeing that the arrogant people in Xiangjiang energy market are still holding their heads high, and the investors are becoming more and more arrogant, Shi Yueqiang has been anxious for a long time, but because his qualifications are much higher than Gao Xian, he had to hold his airs and calm down.
Seeing that Gao Xian is now saying that everything is ready, he only owes the east wind. Shi Yueqiang secretly admires Gao Xian for being so young but patient. At the same time, he secretly fears Gao Xian's ruthlessness.
For more than a week, it didn't seem long, but every day, many speculators of all kinds crowded into a long line to buy the "affordable" refined oil of happy energy, which was tantamount to being stolen money. Even Shi Yueqiang couldn't help feeling distressed for Gao Xian.
It should be pointed out that Gao Xian's ambitious plan to seize the Xiangjiang energy market is very attractive. Shi Yueqiang failed to resist after all and let Youya bank join in.
Therefore, Shi Yueqiang and Gao Xian have common interests in addition to jointly leading the consumption Committee.
"Then I'll ask the police commissioner Xue Jifu to come to the meeting." Shi Yueqiang picked up the phone.
It has to be said that when governor MacLehose took the matter seriously, these Brits in the Hong Kong government worked very efficiently.
Jane Yueqiang made a phone call, and the Commissioner of police, Xue Jifu, quickly rushed over. At the same time, the person in charge of the task force who cooperated with the consumer committee to investigate these days also followed.
Of course, the hospitality of the Xiangjiang police force is also related to Gao Xian's deception that "helping the consumer committee stabilize the energy supply of Xiangjiang will help improve the public image of the Xiangjiang police".
You know, as a serious corruption disaster area for a long time, Xiangjiang police have been scolded as dogs in Xiangjiang people, and even "good children are not bad" has become a mantra.
It is undeniable that, for various reasons, every year, some young people, under social pressure, supplement the jinxiangjiang police force as fresh blood.
However, the atmosphere of the entire Xiangjiang police force is bad. Even if young people are full of blood and integrity, they will soon be assimilated and corroded; Otherwise, it is lucky to be marginalized and resign.
At present, the Xiangjiang police force is improving the public image and winning people's trust by cracking down on corruption. However, during the investigation, Gerber forcibly fled back to the UK, further damaging the credibility of the Xiangjiang police.
As the "first brother" of Xiangjiang police force, Xue Jifu has no face and can't lift his head in Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao.
Now he has the opportunity to cooperate with the consumption Committee. Xue Jifu looks at Shi Yueqiang and Gao Xian and feels kind from his heart, "Sir Shi, Mr. Gao, are you ready?"
Shi Yueqiang turned his eyes to Gao Xian, "Mr. Gao, please introduce it in detail."
Gao Xian nodded. "I'll talk briefly from two aspects."
"First, Brunei oil tankers and ships carrying more than 4000 tons of kerosene exported from China will arrive at Xiangjiang port in three days, which is enough to cope with any changes in the future."
"Second, there is definite evidence for the investigation. Many speculators bought refined oil from happy energy gas stations and sold it to gas stations of international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco. However, for more details, they have to rely on the strength of director Xue Jifu."
Xue Jifu rubbed his hands and said, "OK, let's see our performance."
Gao Xian added: "I have contacted some journalists to conduct interviews with the police force, which can not only show the rationality of our crackdown on hoarding to the general public, but also help to improve the public image of the police force."
Gao Xian used the word "improvement" in his words without taboo, which made Xue Jifu smile awkwardly, "that's good. Mr. Gao considered it very carefully."
It is no exaggeration to say that in order to take the initiative in the energy market and ensure the stability of energy supply, the Hong Kong government can be called holding back a force. Once released, it will be rain, thunder and lightning and merciless.
Over the past few days, major newspapers, radio and television stations in Xiangjiang have reported that Zhengfu has just successfully launched an action to crack down on disrupting the order of the energy market.
The TV station's report is the most vivid. The audience can see the strange scene that the car doesn't refuel at the gas station, but discharges oil outside.
Of course, the newspaper reports are more detailed, mentioning that about ten gas stations belonging to shell, Mobil, Texaco and other international oil companies participated in speculation that disturbed the order of Xiangjiang energy market, and were sealed and closed.
Xiangjiang people's reaction to this is most appropriately described in one word, that is, clapping their hands.
The heads of international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco in Xiangjiang are a little flustered. This is serious.
As a result, they explained to the Hong Kong government that the acts that disturbed the order of the Xiangjiang energy market were the acts of individual staff in the gas station, which did not mean that the company wanted to remove the seal quickly; On the other hand, they protested against the Hong Kong government. The Xiangjiang market has always been famous for its emphasis on freedom, but now it is rude to interfere. They are not afraid to lose their good reputation in the past.
Hong Kong Governor MacLehose was annoyed by these lawless international oil companies before. Now he is not willing to pay attention to it and directly let the consumption Committee deal with it.
Gao Xian is amused. If you don't hoard strange feelings, it's our fault.
Finally, the consumption committee gave the international oil companies a soft and hard answer: after screening whether the sealed gas stations disturbed the order of Xiangjiang energy market, they can tear off the seals and resume business immediately. As for the specific punishment, they will be handed over to the special department; However, one thing is that in order to ensure the stable supply of Xiangjiang energy market, energy companies operating in Hong Kong must follow the guidance of the government.
The hard part of this reply is nothing, but the soft part annoys the international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco.
Nima, this is chiguoguo's abuse of power for personal gain!
Although the seals of those gas stations can be lifted, they do not give a definite time, which clearly allows happy energy company to seize market share.
Angered by embarrassment, international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco bought a large amount of space in major newspapers in Xiangjiang and criticized the unfair treatment of the consumer committee, which was in favor of happy energy.
In this way, the most distinctive war of words in Xiangjiang began to be staged again.
But the international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco are doomed to be disappointed. In the past, they could be a "dragon crossing the river" in Xiangjiang. That is because Xiangjiang has not yet had a "local snake", but now happy energy company is this "local snake".
Behind happy energy, there is the praise of turning the tide with the tacit approval of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, backed by the powerful faction represented by Huifeng bank. Once you show your teeth, whether you are an international oil company or not?
In fact, this war of words cannot last too long.
Because international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco have taught Xiangjiang a lesson from the elite to the grassroots with their hegemonic behavior. It is still a reliable local energy company in Xiangjiang!
Seeing that the advertising money was wasted, it was only cheaper. The newspapers, shell, Mobil and Texaco, which are used to eating fat, made the last move and did not give us justice. We would withdraw from Xiangjiang energy market together. We don't believe that happy energy company alone can meet all the market needs of Xiangjiang.
The consumer committee responded by releasing a survey report on the consumption of Xiangjiang refined oil.
It is pointed out that Xiangjiang's fuel consumption this year is close to HK $2 billion, and this figure will increase rapidly with the sustainable development of Xiangjiang's economy.
With such a considerable market, Zhengfu is confident of maintaining a reasonable supply and demand system.
The meaning of this is not difficult to understand, that is, if you want to do it well, if you don't want to do it, get out and make room for other oil companies who want to make money.
In addition, the consumption committee also disclosed that the Hong Kong government is brewing an energy security policy.
In fact, the work style of the Hong Kong government is like this. Like the stock market, after the stock disaster and complete collapse, the Hong Kong government will start to review its gains and losses and brew a set of mature regulatory regulations for the Xiangjiang securities industry.
The current energy shortage crisis naturally forces the Hong Kong government to introduce energy security policies.
In fact, under the profound influence of the global oil crisis, other regions are also considering their own energy security.
Take the most representative U.S. as an example. In its current government structure, the organization in charge of energy affairs has not reached the level of "ministry". In other words, there is no Ministry of energy in the current U.S. government. What new "games" such as energy security and strategic oil reserves need to be popularized.
Furthermore, the current global oil crisis is reshaping the world.
People like Gao Xian, who have grasped the pulse of the times, can naturally Hang international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco in the right time, place and people.
After the confrontation between you and me, shell was the first to soften.
Because the shell company operating in Xiangjiang is actually a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell and BP, and BP feels that it is not worth getting angry and resentment in Xiangjiang. It is better to cooperate with Gaoxian.
The loudest slap in the face for international oil companies is that oil tankers from Brunei and China have arrived at Xiangjiang port, attracting a large number of journalists and citizens to watch.
There is also a news that even more attacks on international oil companies have been announced by the consumption Committee. The Hong Kong government has reached an agreement with China to open a railway oil tank truck directly to the Xiangjiang River in the mainland, and the transportation speed is much faster than that by sea.
Happy energy company also joined in the fun and released a news that next year, that is, early 1974, a ship of refined oil refined from crude oil produced by the No. 30 oil field on Eugene island in the Gulf of Mexico will be shipped.
This is the most simple energy security!
Seeing the signs of international oil companies' encouragement, the consumer committee gave them a step down.
After paying the fine, the gas stations can resume business.
What is not clearly said here is that you have indeed disturbed the order of Xiangjiang energy market. Now you have to pay a fine to show a correct attitude, and everyone can play happily.
After paying the fines, the international oil companies soon found that these gas stations might as well be shut down directly, because the source of tourists is lost so that almost no one patronizes. Typical stealing chickens can't eat rice!
