Then Mo Zhexuan came to a large conference room under the guidance of Dong Shaowen.
Through the introduction of the heads of each department, I got a detailed understanding of the current situation of China Gas Company.
Currently, the China Gas Company has a total of four gas plants. The first gas plant, which is also the first in Asia, is located on Whitney Street in the western corner of Hong Kong Island. At that time, it supplied gas lighting to some large enterprises and conglomerates in Hong Kong, such as Jardine Matheson, Watson's Pharmacy, Wheelock and others.
Now, after decades of development, the factory can produce 3,852 cubic meters of gas every day using coal as raw material, which was basically enough to meet the needs of all residents in Hong Kong Island at that time. However, with the increase in population, demand gradually exceeded supply.
At that time, the plan was to expand, but because it was located in a prime area, on the one hand, the land price was extremely high, and on the other hand, if coal was used as raw material, it would cause serious environmental pollution.
Finally, there was no other choice but to invest a huge amount of money to rebuild a gas plant in Siu Sai Wan, Hong Kong Island, which gradually met the living needs of all the people in Hong Kong Island.
The other two gas plants are located in the Wong Tai Sin area of Kowloon Peninsula and Tai Po and Pier Point respectively. These two gas plants are designed to meet the gas needs of all residents in Kowloon Peninsula, New Territories, Tai Po and other areas.
It also has a small water company that specializes in providing fresh tap water to residents in the Central area of Hong Kong Island.
The company now has a total of 2,532 employees, and there is still HK$232 million in cash in the account. The monthly gas fees collected from Hong Kong Island residents are around HK$20 million, and the fees collected from Kowloon Peninsula, Tai Po and other areas are around HK$10 million.
This is still the result of not completely occupying areas such as Kowloon and Dapu. If the gas pipelines are built in place, it is not impossible to at least double the monthly income.
After Mo Zhexuan thoroughly understood all the circumstances of the China Gas Company, he glanced at all the management and spoke in a resounding voice:
"Everyone! Many of you are meeting me for the first time and don't understand my style of work. My principle is that the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. As long as you have the ability and can create results for the company, the company will not treat you unfairly."
"The top priority for China Gas is to issue 15 million shares to the public. This is the most important thing. I hope all departments can cooperate fully and work hard."
"As long as this stock offering is successful, I will then allocate a portion of my shares to implement an employee stock ownership plan, allowing everyone to enjoy the company's development dividends. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can contribute to the company."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the management looked surprised, followed by ecstasy.
You should know that the management of listed companies in Hong Kong currently hold very few shares. Basically, they have followed their bosses for many years to build the business, and only then can they get shares.
"Don't get too excited, everyone. If you want to get it, you have to do it first. What do you want to do? By the end of next year at the latest, we will completely occupy the gas market in Kowloon Peninsula, the New Territories, and Tai Po."
"After the successful issuance of 15 million shares, our strategic goal is to complete the laying of gas pipelines in the aforementioned areas. This task is arduous, and I hope everyone will work together to achieve this goal."
“....................”
After the meeting, Mo Zhexuan came to Dong Shaowen's office.
I want to conduct a thorough investigation of the general manager of China Gas Company to see what his vision is and whether he is suitable to continue to hold such a critical position as general manager.
"Manager Dong! What do you think the China Gas Company should do next after it has captured the entire Hong Kong gas market?"
Mo Zhexuan calmly took a sip of tea and then stated the question he was investigating.
The reason why the China Gas Company in its previous life had a market value of 200 billion Hong Kong dollars was that its annual profit reached 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The main reason is that it entered the Chinese market. At the beginning, it chose to start with bottled liquefied oil and gas, and finally established a joint venture pipeline gas company with the local people in the Pearl River Delta region in South China.
Subsequently, in line with China's natural gas clean energy policy, joint ventures were established in East China, Central China, Southwest China and Northeast China.
As the business area expanded, the business varieties also expanded from bottled liquefied petroleum gas to pipeline-supplied artificial coal gas, and later to natural gas.
"Mr. Mo! Then I'll speak my mind today. Hong Kong's population is only a few million. Even if we capture all the gas market, the market capitalization of China Gas Company will only be tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars at most, because the market is so small."
"So if we want to truly grow and develop, we have no choice but to enter the mainland Chinese market. I heard they are currently undergoing reform and opening up. If we can gain a foothold in mainland China, our development prospects will be limitless."
"The last time I saw the news, the total population of mainland China seemed to have exceeded one billion. If so many people used gas, the monthly fees we would charge would be astronomical."
"However, it's not easy to enter the Chinese mainland market. Although they are reforming and opening up, they have strict restrictions on related fields. Without deep connections, it will probably not be easy."
Dong Shaowen is certainly not a good-for-nothing. As Li Mingze's former confidant, he has real talent and skills, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the position of general manager of China Gas Company.
"Boss! I'm very satisfied with your answer. Now that you are at the helm of China Gas Company, I can finally rest assured."
