"Then do you think Huafeng should continue to work on this professional road?" Lei Ting thought.

"I think the future market for water and air cleaning equipment is very large, but it also develops very quickly, which means that the investment in R&D will be quite large, and I can't get it right now." Sha Zhengyang is indeed a little confused about this development.

If you only build a mid-to-low-end water dispenser market, then there is no problem with Huafeng's current development model.

However, if you want to make mid-to-high-end water purifier and air purification equipment, then you may have a considerable investment and the requirements for the brand will be very high.

The image you originally built on the water dispenser brand is probably far from enough, and may even be attacked by competitors as weaknesses, making consumers think that you are a mid-to-low-end product for water dispenser and lack technological content and technical background.

"I feel that the water purifier market and the air purifier market are generally not well accepted. The water from the water purifier always gives consumers less impression than barrel mineral water. In terms of mentality, everyone will subconsciously feel that the spring water gushing out of the underground mountains is better than the processed water, richer minerals, and more conducive to health, so this greatly restricts the development of this market."

Thunder is no longer Wuxia Amon. Huafeng not only has a dedicated R&D department, but also a dedicated market research team. He conducts sampling surveys on market changes and consumer psychology almost every quarter. His view is based on a large number of surveys.

"But this mentality will change over time, and the market will also change in the future." Sha Zhengyang said.

"Yes, this is something that is difficult to grasp and judge." Lei Ting frowned, "This also determines Hua Feng's future path."

"Do you think you have difficulty playing a role in it now, or do you think you are tired of this industry?" Sha Zhengyang asked suddenly.

Lei Ting was stunned, as if he was surprised and even puzzled by Sha Zhengyang's problem, but he noticed Sha Zhengyang's serious expression, slowly calmed down and thought seriously.

All the chopsticks in his hand were put down, and his favorite mutton rice noodles seemed to have lost their appeal at once. Thunder was immersed in thinking.

Sha Zhengyang was also filled with emotion.

The road on Huafeng was chosen by Sha Zhengyang for Thunder.

In his previous life, Thunder lived a very nourishing life in Hong Kong.

He studied business administration, and later went to Shanghai to work hard after getting married and started a business in Hong Kong. In 2008, Shanghai invested more than 8 million yuan and started a Hong Kong-style catering company. It was quite petty bourgeois and its business has always been good.

From 2008 to 2015, he should have made a lot of money, but after 2015, the competitive pressure in Shanghai's catering industry was too great, and the rent soared, Thunder felt that it was too tiring to work hard, so he dealt with the store and returned to Hong Kong with his mixed-race wife and a pair of children.

Now Thunder's road has been completely disrupted by Sha Zhengyang.

Lei Ting has probably never thought about opening a catering restaurant. After all, he is now the boss of Huafeng Electrical Appliances. If he really wants to go public, it will not be a problem for his net worth of several hundred million. The question is what he wants to do now.

In his previous life, Sha Zhengyang also heard from Lei Ting that his biggest wish was not to engage in catering, but to engage in catering was also for life. His wish was to manage a high-end hotel and be the boss of a five-star hotel. He liked the atmosphere of working in a five-star hotel.

In Sha Zhengyang's opinion, this is a disease. If you really want to stay in the hotel every day, you may feel that life is boring.

Now Sha Zhengyang really can't guess what Thunder seems to want.

Having experienced success on Huafeng Electrical Appliances will definitely have a great impact on his life path. Will he still want to manage a hotel?

Obviously it is unlikely that he can even build a hotel by himself.

After a long time, Lei Ting slowly said: "I don't know what I want to do now. I just feel that I'm a little tired of the current life, and it seems that I have lost the passion and motivation to fight. I don't know what's going on."

"Then are you going to take a break and then make a decision?" Sha Zhengyang asked.

"Well, Zhengyang, can you find me a more challenging short-term job? I just want to find a short-term job that can challenge myself. I mean that I can get rid of it in three to five years without any sequelae. Just like if I don't want to take care of Huafeng anymore, then I will go public immediately and I can cash in part to ensure that I have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life."

Thunder's words made Sha Zhengyang speechless, "Do you think anything can be successful smoothly? Do you think you can succeed in Huafeng, and you can succeed in other industries?"

"No, Zhengyang, I never thought so, but I just wanted to find the passion for entrepreneurship again. When Huafeng started, I also lived in the factory and ran around the country for sales. Now it seems that I can leave it to professionals, but I have become an optional person myself. I am not used to it, so I want to go and have a new challenge again."

Lei Ting's tone was very quick and serious, obviously he wanted to let Sha Zhengyang understand his inner thoughts truly and completely.

In fact, Sha Zhengyang already understood some of the meaning of Thunder.

Huafeng Electrical's success was still a little smoother. Although Thunder also made great efforts during this period, the water dispenser was too low in technical content and was a new thing. It caught up with the popularity of mineral water, a healthy drinking water concept, and with the support of Dongfanghong, it suddenly became uncontrollable. Of course, this has a lot to do with Huafeng's positioning and marketing that did not take detours.

This does not mean that Thunder will succeed next time. Maybe he will understand a lot if he gets frustrated.

"If you really want to find a new challenge and get out of your current role, well, the starting point is low, it will definitely be difficult to achieve success, so this is really hard to deal with." Sha Zhengyang could not think of a good idea for a while, "But I suggest that if you make up this determination, then Huafeng can continue to go public. After listing, cash out some funds, you can start a second business again and feel a brand new entrepreneurial passion and challenge."

Thunder raised his eyebrows, obviously attracted by Sha Zhengyang's opinion, "But it will take some time to go public,..."

"That's right, you can also think carefully about what you plan to do in your new business." Sha Zhengyang said with a smile.

*******

After returning to Yintai, Sha Zhengyang only stayed for one night before returning to Handu.

After You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao made a brief report to the two main leaders of the province, the two main leaders immediately expressed their intention to take time to listen to the report as soon as possible.

This time, the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee are no longer collectively listening to the report, but Wei Qingliang, deputy secretary in charge of economic work, executive senior official Li Ming, and Tian Li, secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee, will all participate.

In addition, two main leaders and You Wangang, who is in charge of industrial work, was almost a report meeting dedicated to economic work.

This report is actually a strategic arrangement report on Changhe Energy Group's overseas strategy once the bid is successful. In the next three years, the development of Changhe Energy Group's main business will be promoted according to this concept.

Moreover, Sha Zhengyang, Zhong Guangbiao, You Wangang, Zhu Hansheng, Yuan Zengqiao, Lu Tonghao and Xie Fucai also made a preliminary estimate of the future production capacity of the Akjiubin project based on the information currently available, and strive to achieve this predetermined goal.

This report is still taught by Sha Zhengyang, because Sha Zhengyang participated in the communication with JP Morgan, the State-owned Assets Administration of Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan National Petroleum Corporation and other aspects throughout the process, and gave a more detailed introduction to Kazakhstan's bidding situation.

Some things are definitely not expressible in the bidding documents, and can only be explained through private communication, but how to implement them can be finalized through some additional agreements after the bid is successful.

Kazakhstan is also very clear that some private transactions will not be possible. If the other party replies, Kazakhstan will definitely have countermeasures. On its own territory, the Kazakhstan government still has this confidence.

"..., to sum up, these are some of the plans of our Changhe Energy to obtain Akjiubin Petroleum Company in the next three years. If the plan is followed, the Nanore Oilfield will be restored to an annual production capacity of 2.8 million to 3 million tons starting from the second year. The Kenkiyak Salt Oilfield will strive to achieve a production capacity of 600,000 to 800,000 tons. The minimum goal is to achieve an annual production capacity of 3.5 million tons,..."

"The development of Kenkiyak's salt-bearing oil field is a difficult problem in the eyes of the former Soviet Union, Kazakhstan and even European and American oil companies, but our Changhe Energy Group is confident that it will produce oil before 2000 and produce oil smoothly. As for the scale of oil production, it is not easy to predict now, but we believe that as long as the drilling is successful, it can be increased to a production capacity of 2 million tons within three years,..."

"The group company has had several docking negotiations with CNPC and has reached a preliminary agreement to transport the crude oil produced by Akjiubin Petroleum Company back to CNPC Dushanzi Refinery by railway. CNPC will meet Qindu refining needs in Qindu refining, including the upcoming second phase of Qindu refining,..."

"Zhengyang, let me interrupt. CNPC is so easy to talk about? Our Qindu Petrochemical's second phase refining plan has been discussed for several years. It is because crude oil cannot be guaranteed. CNPC is willing to guarantee it. How many years will this agreement be signed?" The executive senior official couldn't help but raise his hand and signaled that this question is very critical.

For Wuyang and Qindu, Wuyang Petrochemical and Qindu Petrochemical can be said to be two pillar enterprises. With Changhe Petroleum and the three major coal industries, the economic and fiscal revenue of Wuyang and Qindu basically relies on oil and coal-related industries.

Although the province has long proposed to achieve the transformation of the economy of the two cities into non-resource industries, this cannot be reversed in a short period of time.
