As the saying goes, the business of international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco will inevitably shrink after being hanged due to wanton plundering in Xiangjiang, which is just a big step for happy energy to catch up.

Only from the gas station market, 50% of the market share has been grabbed as planned.

At this time, the document on the desk is a report by Gao Xian to Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao on the current pattern of Xiangjiang energy market.

It is pointed out that the pattern of Xiangjiang energy market has changed from the absolute monopoly of international oil companies to the leadership of happy energy, which is born in Xiangjiang, followed by international oil companies, and the tripartite coexistence of effective supplement of Chinese petroleum products.

In terms of happy energy, oil products from Brunei are mainly provided to Xiangjiang energy market, while the No. 30 oil field on Eugene island in the Gulf of Mexico can cooperate with the refinery in Texas to regularly transport refined oil to Xiangjiang from next year.

China's supply of petroleum products is even less of a problem. Gao Xian did not mention it, because people with a clear eye know that considering only from the perspective of governance, it will not go wrong at all, just like supplying fresh water for the Xiangjiang River for a long time.

In this case, the choice of international oil companies is to operate their own business, otherwise they will be ruthlessly eliminated by Xiangjiang market.

The Xiangjiang energy supply system created by Gao Xian is enough to ensure the stability and order of the next Xiangjiang energy market.

There is no moth in the energy supply, just as the rent of real estate shops will not mess around, which has laid a solid foundation for the economic development of Xiangjiang.

Gao Xian basically didn't show his work, because the credit can be seen directly. Too much trace will be inferior.

Besides, happy energy has grabbed the benefits and should be satisfied.

After signing his name, Gao Xian told his secretary, "give this report to Sir Shi. If he has no opinion and signs his name, send it to the governor's office."

After the Secretary promised, he reported one thing. Shao Yifu wanted to invite Gao Xian to have afternoon tea.

"Did you say anything?" Gao Xian was quite surprised. Because of the business of Shanghua culture, he rarely asked about it during this time, and he should have no contact with Shao Yifu.

"I didn't say that," replied the Secretary, "but the title mentioned your excellency."

"OK, you go." Gao Xian waved his hand and didn't think about it any more.

……

Shao Yifu's meeting place is the peninsula hotel in Kowloon. Since the 1950s, the tea restaurant here has become a favorite place for many film stars.

After the meeting, Shao Yifu flattered: "some time ago, the energy shortage crisis in Xiangjiang broke out, the Zhengfu implemented strict lighting control, and the theater could not open. Thanks to Mr. Gao's efforts to turn the tide, he made this line have a meal."

Gao Xian was amused. "Sixth uncle, I don't deserve your praise."

After they talked and laughed for a while, Shao Yifu mentioned the main topic of the meeting. "Mr. Gao was elected as a member of the Executive Council of the Zhengfu government. It's really lucky for the Xiangjiang film industry. Please speak for the future of the whole industry."

Sure enough, something happened. He muttered a high string in his heart and directly asked, "what does uncle Liu want me to do?"

Shao Yifu sighed softly, "I hope Zhengfu can suspend the collection of entertainment tax."

Gao Xian nodded suddenly. It seems that the operating pressure of Shao's cinema is a little big now.

Entertainment tax is an indirect tax of the Hong Kong government. The main source of income is cinemas. The tax is 10% of the ticket fee. Since 1956, it has been levied together with gambling tax and ballroom tax.

In the "old script", the entertainment tax was abolished in the 1990s and has never been restored, but now it is still a well-known tax in the industry.

Shao Yifu continued to explain his reasons and said: "now, prices are rising everywhere, and people's expenses are more inclined to necessities, while going to the cinema for entertainment has become much less important than before, which makes the cinema business neither advance nor retreat."

"If the entertainment tax can be temporarily suspended, the operation space of the whole industry can also be relaxed."

"Mr. Gao must know more about the significance of Xiangjiang film industry to Xiangjiang than I do, so I think it is worth lobbying Zhengfu to temporarily stop levying entertainment tax."

After listening to Shao Yifu's detailed explanation, Gao Xianshen nodded, "uncle Liu, have you found other members of the Executive Council of the government to pass your proposal?"

"For the sake of advocating Chinese culture, I went to Mr. Gao for the first time." Shao Yifu said frankly: "I will contact other members of the Executive Council of the government later."

Gao Xian thought for a moment and then said tentatively, "uncle Liu, do you mind if I ask Jiahe cinema again?"

"I still have this bearing." Shao Yifu laughed. "Mr. Gao, I believe Zou wenhuai must feel the same."

Gao Xian smiled and pulled back his words and said, "uncle Liu is right. In fact, I'm looking for Jiahe cinema to gather more industry voices."

Seeing that Gao Xian agreed to stand on the side of the proposal to suspend the collection of entertainment tax, Shao Yifu said happily: "please, Mr. Gao."

……

After meeting Shao Yifu, Gao Xian asked Zou wenhuai about the current Xiangjiang film market.

Because of his health, Li Xiaolong can no longer make his signature kung fu films. Jiahe, whose main business is film, is really a little lost.

Of course, only in terms of the markets in Xiangjiang, Baodao and Nanyang, we can also find Kung Fu stars with box office appeal comparable to Li Xiaolong, such as Wang Yu.

But Wang Yu is also not so easy to manipulate. Now he has a growing temper.

However, Jiahe is not without harvest. Zou wenhuai happily mentioned: "Mr. Gao, that LV Qi really has the talent to shoot urban romantic films, and the box office efficiency is very good. Recently, he made a sound and color dog and horse with Li Hanxiang, which is worth looking forward to."

Gao Xian's eyes flickered and asked curiously, "is this kind of film very popular now?"

"The so-called food and clothing thinking of silver fish, men's and women's diet has always been the favorite theme of Xiangjiang audiences in recent years." Shao wenhuai said with regret: "unfortunately, Jiahe doesn't have the production capacity of Shao studios. They can start up a film in different studios at the same time on the same day."

Gao Xian joked, "this is lying down to make money."

Zou wenhuai, who tasted the banter in Gaoxian's words, laughed at himself and said, "the primary consideration for making a film in Xiangjiang is to attract people to see."

Gao Xian, who was noncommittal, turned to the subject and said, "just now, I met Shao Yifu. He is trying to lobby members of the Executive Council of the government to suspend the collection of entertainment tax. What do you think of this?"

"Of course, this is a great thing." Zou wenhuai replied without hesitation: "Jiahe cinema also feels a lot of pressure. It's just a small talk. I didn't expect to reflect it to Zhengfu."

After hearing Zou wenhuai say a lot of words similar to Shao Yifu, Gao Xian nodded slightly, "in this way, in the name of Jiahe, give me an industry report and I'll hand it in at that time."

"Understand." Zou wenhuai agreed excitedly.

……

After a few days, Gao Xian was about to go to the governor's office to explain the report on the current situation of Xiangjiang energy market to governor Mai Lihao. Suddenly, an accident happened.

A branch of Jindong supermarket on Hong Kong Island only opened today. Not long after, the glass door was crowded down by a dense stream of people. The scene was so chaotic that many goods disappeared in confusion.

Gao Xian heard a layer of cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "are there any casualties?"

The assistant replied on the phone: "I haven't found the extreme situation of death yet. They have been sent to the hospital. The most serious situation I have mastered is fracture."

After Gao Xian put down the phone, he asked Zhou Chengchang to change his itinerary and go directly to the headquarters of happy group to listen to the latest report.

In fact, Gao Xian has attached great importance to the company's production safety management.

Take fire control for example. In recent years, many enterprises have had major fires, while happy group still maintains a zero record in this regard.

Unexpectedly, so hard, today still made a mistake.

Fortunately, when Gao Xian arrived at the headquarters of happy group, the latest report he heard was that the injured did not die. The most serious situation was that his ribs were trampled and broken.

Li Ruoxi reported nervously: "many reporters rushed to the scene, and some reporters followed them to the hospital. In addition to explaining the course of the incident, we also told them that the supermarket had lost tens of thousands of yuan of goods in the chaos and had called the police."

Although he knew that his subordinates worked hard these days, Gao Xian still had to get angry to show his attitude.

I have to say, Gao Xian is really a bit troublesome. The governor's office should have known about the accident. How can we explain it safely when we meet with governor Mai Lihao?

In the office, everyone was silent for a long time. Zhang Yongkang, who was in charge of the group's public relations, took the lead in saying, "boss, I think the tens of thousands of yuan of goods lost by Jindong supermarket should not be investigated. Let the police dismiss the case."

"Instead, mention it in the newspaper and tell customers to pay attention to safety. Jindong supermarket has sufficient supplies, so there is no need to rush to buy it."

Seeing Zhang Yongkang's opening, Li Ruoxi also took the opportunity to explain the cause of the accident in detail, "in the current period of material shortage and rising prices, Jindong supermarket and Huikang no longer issue coupons, and the coupons previously issued should also be used up."

"As a result, some customers who came to that branch today recognized the coupons as fake coupons by the staff, and then there was a dispute. Finally, the crowd inside and outside the store became chaotic."

Gao Xian put his hand on his forehead and scolded sadly, "how can anything happen now!"

Because Gao Xian has predicted the current shortage of materials and soaring prices in Xiangjiang market, happy group purchased materials early this year to enrich its inventory.

It is undeniable that Gao Xian's doing so is driven by commercial interests, but it is fair and free. Happy group has never hoarded strange things at this juncture. On the contrary, it has silently alleviated the contradiction between market supply and demand, which is described as accumulating Yin virtue.

But still that sentence, just a good heart, good things may not be able to be done!

Gao Xian thought for a while and felt that there was no need to reprimand his subordinates, so he waved and said, "that's it. Just be careful to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future."

……

After arriving at the governor's house, Gao Xian saw that Shi Yueqiang had talked with governor Mai Lihao for a long time.

Governor Mai Lihao picked up the report signed by Gao Xian and Shi Yueqiang, shook it, and then praised it with generous words. Gao Xian's outstanding contribution to solving the energy shortage crisis in Xiangjiang can be regarded as a model for social sages in Xiangjiang.

Shi Yueqiang also smiled and gave a compliment. "Mr. Gao is young and promising. He is actually a hero of a generation. Like Du Xian, I look forward to you playing a greater role in the Executive Bureau of the Zhengfu government."

Although these two people seem to be singing double reed, Gao Xian still unconsciously said: "the current situation of Xiangjiang energy market can not be separated from the support of governor Xian and Sir Shi's work in the consumption Committee. You are the model for the well-being of Xiangjiang people and the object of my study."

After boasting about each other, governor Mai Lihao said positively: "David, after you have solved the problem of energy security in Xiangjiang, I want to further increase the functions of the consumption Committee."

"I just heard that citizens looted goods and trampled and injured in Jindong supermarket. This is a concentrated outbreak of contradictions between material shortage and rising prices in Xiangjiang market."

"It's already December. Christmas, new year's day and Spring Festival come one after another. At this time of year, there is a shopping peak."

"But judging from the overall situation of the world economy, it will be difficult in the future."

Gao Xianshen nodded in surprise. There was indeed a ceasefire between Israel, Egypt and Syria in the Middle East, but the round-trip peace talks took quite a long time, while the Arab oil producing countries still promoted the oil embargo, and their production was less than 25% of that in September before the outbreak of the fourth middle East war.

Under such circumstances, all capitalist economies in the world began to be pessimistic.

Governor Mai Lihao continued: "in view of the laissez faire before Xiangjiang energy market, the situation will only get worse and worse. Therefore, I want to expand the scope of functions of the consumption committee to all markets, crack down on unscrupulous hoarding and speculation, and do my best to curb prices."

Speaking of this, governor Mai Lihao began to wear a high hat for Gao Xian again. "As the saying goes, those who can do more work, David's happy group is in the forefront of Xiangjiang retail market and should bear this social responsibility."

Gao Xian didn't connect the cavity immediately, because there are too many interests involved.

To put it bluntly, there are just a few hoarders in Xiangjiang energy market, but the number of hoarders in the whole market has gone to the sea. How can it be so hard to crack down?
