Chapter 79: Viewing

Walking into the conference room, Lu Jianbang stopped the movements of the personal guards and secretary, and quietly chose a corner to sit down.

The location is not very good because the guests in the conference room were not full, especially the second half of the room seemed a little scattered. However, as soon as he appeared, he still attracted the attention of several reporters around him. However, under Lu Jianbang's gentle gaze, several reporters also understood and sat down again tactfully.

The representative standing in the speech seat was very young, at most about 30 years old. He looked like a government official, but Lu Jianbang didn't know him. He seemed to have some impression of the government official who was going to speak today, but he didn't have the impression of this person in his memory.

"China is born a big country, so our country's energy security must be in our own hands. However, in contrast, our current energy security, as the blood of industrial oil, my country has become a crude oil importer since 1993, and the annual import of oil has increased at an astonishing rate. I expect the import volume to exceed 100 million tons in the past two years, and the amount of crude oil imported by my country will exceed 200 million tons in the next ten years, and my country's crude oil self-sufficiency rate will gradually shrink to less than 50% or even below 40%.

Lu Jianbang frowned slightly. There are many people who are exaggerating these days, but there are not many people who are so confident. Moreover, he is a government official. The secretary next to him has quietly followed him and introduced his identity as the spokesperson. Lu Jianbang brows slightly.

"You can take a look. Eighty percent of our current crude oil imports pass through the Strait of Malacca, and the Strait of Malacca is almost a deadly throat for China's energy security. Judging from China's development trend and the domestic political climate of the United States, Americans are full of wary of China's rise. They will not allow China to rise smoothly like this, with the current strong naval power of the United States...."

"China must move towards diversification of imported energy, Central Asia, Africa, Latin America, and especially the first two. Given that China's comprehensive strength is still quite different from the United States, we should cleverly avoid it..."

"Political interests, economic interests and military interests have always been intertwined. This can be seen from the continuous wars in the Middle East of the United States and its agents. Although under various names, I think its fundamental core cannot be separated from controlling oil resources and ensuring its energy security. The Chinese military should prepare for the future and respond to the possible threats that changes in the world situation may bring to our energy channels......"

Cai Zhengyang frowned. How could this kid extend such a long article? The content was a bit off topic. This should be the speech of a researcher from a strategic institute.

Lu Jianbang listened to the young director of the Planning and Development Department with great interest. Although he was suspected of being off topic, he had to say that his views were still somewhat unique.

In particular, it was proposed that the navy should shoulder the important task of ensuring energy transportation channels, political and military forces should serve economic interests, and the Chinese military should go abroad at a gradual but unswerving pace, which won the applause of several military officials.

It’s interesting that a director of the Planning and Development Department can actually discuss the problem from such a far-reaching perspective. If there is no intention to attract attention, it means that this young director is really ambitious.

Cai Zhengyang chose such a person to serve as the director of the Planning and Development Department. I don’t know if he could only talk big or it was really informative. Lu Jianbang still admired Cai Zhengyang for his daring to employ people. At least if he could use such a young man, he would have to be brave enough to withstand external pressure.

Cai Zhengyang was a little depressed. He couldn't say that Zhao Guodong's speech was poor. He said that the effect was better than expected, but he was a little off-topic. He didn't know whether Zhao Guodong was intentional or unintentional. Cai Zhengyang felt that this kid was intentional and deliberately wanted to use such an opportunity to promote his point of view. Especially when he asked about the presence of a military representative, he guessed that this kid was having a bad intention.

The speech at the meeting finally came to an end, and the crowd behind him was a little turbulent. Cai Zhengyang saw Vice Premier Lu Jianbang coming at a glance and hurried forward.

Vice Premier Lu Jianbang met with the delegates and had a cordial conversation with the delegates. Cai Zhengyang and several leaders of the State Planning Commission, Economic and Trade Commission and other ministries accompanied Vice Premier Lu Jianbang.

"Zhengyang, I'm one step late, and I only heard the speeches of the representatives behind me, but I see that the director of the Planning and Development Department of your department is very interesting." After meeting the representatives, Lu Jianbang and Cai Zhengyang got together.

Lu Jianbang is the vice premier in charge of industry and was originally a leader from a large state-owned enterprise. He is not unfamiliar with energy. When Premier Hong proposed to establish the Ministry of Energy, he was also a member of the Politburo and Secretary of the Hujiang Municipal Party Committee, who was also a staunch supporter of this view.

Cai Zhengyang felt nervous. Vice Premier Lu heard the boy Zhao Guodong’s unrelenting words?

Seeing Cai Zhengyang's somewhat nervous expression, Lu Jianbang laughed, "It's a good thing for young people to have such a view. I think it's a long way to see it, and I have also put forward my own opinions. I think the representatives of the army agree with his point of view."

"It made the Prime Minister laugh. Zhao Guodong was a cadre transferred from the local area not long ago. Many of his views are not very mature. However, this young comrade is very motivated in learning business and has a strong overall view." Cai Zhengyang chose appropriate words to introduce Zhao Guodong. He should not be too proud, but he also needs to have a suitable explanation.

"Well, our forum should have a broad mind and welcome discussions from all parties. As long as it can provide useful insights and explorations for our energy development and energy security, I think these are the gains of this forum. Even if it is not necessarily correct, it can provide us with a direction for thinking and exploration." Lu Jianbang nodded his head and expressed his views.

Zhao Guodong noticed that Cai Zhengyang and his group accompanied each other into the VIP lounge, and they were about to have lunch. They were surrounded by people, and it was estimated that the Vice Premier was coming.

Just as he was thinking about it, Secretary Cai Zhengyang called Zhao Guodong to go there quickly. Zhao Guodong didn't even think too much, so he walked two steps at a time and ran over.

Zhao Guodong still maintained a very high level in front of Lu Jianbang. This was Cai Zhengyang intended to provide him with the opportunity to show himself. It was more rare than before in the venue. Lu Jianbang asked some questions, especially the direction and trends of new energy development. Zhao Guodong was secretly happy. He spent some time on this topic, and the Ministry of Education also conducted a lot of research on this issue, so he also talked about it.

He also noticed that Vice Premier Lu was very interested in his views, especially his proposal to increase scientific research investment in the two industries of solar photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation, so as to promote the industrialization and commercialization of the scientific research results of the two major industries as soon as possible, and introduce policies to encourage private capital to enter these two emerging industries. At the same time, the country focuses on intelligent transformation of the existing power grid, providing a solid foundation for the power grid to accept solar photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation.

Lu Jianbang admired the young man's neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, and was able to put forward his own views in front of him with reasonable and evidence. He felt that the other party was not purely to attract his attention or deepen his impression in his mind, but really wanted to convince himself to accept his views on the new energy development plan, which made him particularly satisfied.

Pragmatic work has always been Lu Jianbang's basic requirement for cadres and leadership, but many people find it difficult to achieve this alone. The impetuous mentality is full of leaders at many levels. Cai Zhengyang is a leader that Lu Jianbang admires more. In the past four years, Cai Zhengyang has made achievements that both him and the State Council have been extremely satisfied with the national crude oil reserves, promoting the reform of state-owned energy enterprises and going abroad, strengthening cooperation with the energy industry and financial capital, and investing heavily in foreign countries.

Especially after Cai Zhengyang strongly promoted Sinopec to obtain funding support from Bank of China, his holdings in Luke Oil Company broke the ban on Russian oil companies in the European and American capital markets. It is also known as a landmark move by Chinese energy state-owned enterprises to strengthen their international voice, and also gives Chinese energy companies greater confidence in the game between Russia and European and American energy giants.

So he also trusted Cai Zhengyang's personnel selection and employment, but Zhao Guodong was too young and was a vital director of the Planning and Development Department in the Ministry of Energy, which made him a little curious, so he wanted to take a look at Zhao Guodong.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Guodong's views on new energy are so clear and precise. This is definitely not a matter of knowing some superficial views and theories that dare to talk endlessly in front of him. The views and opinions presented by the other party are supported by sufficient evidence and real data. The several issues raised, such as strengthening the research and development and transformation of smart grids to provide technical support and hardware foundation for future new energy grid connections, are even more important.

Although the country's current investment in the power industry has improved a certain way of focusing on power generation and light transmission and transmission after the establishment of the Ministry of Energy, it is still a top-heavy pattern. Zhao Guodong's idea of ​​transforming the smart grid to improve transmission and transmission capabilities is very in line with Lu Jianbang's appetite.
