When he received Qian Xuan's call, Sha Zhengyang had just eaten dinner.

Originally, I called Qian Xuan after dinner, but Qian Xuan called first.

The Beijing Office has a canteen, which tastes good, and several cooks are authentic Hanchuan people, and Sichuan cuisine and Shandong cuisine are all done well, especially home-cooked food, which is quite popular with the leaders of the Changhe Petroleum Administration before and after.

I wanted to go out and take a beat, but it was clear that the Beijing Office would not allow it.

There are more than 20 cars here, from Mercedes-Benz to Civic, there are several full-time drivers, and there are a lot of part-time drivers.

In desperation, Sha Zhengyang can only accept this reality, this is the spectrum of state-owned enterprises, and it must be put up.

About in a café on the other side of Gulou Street.

Sha Zhengyang is not a stranger to Yanjing, but he is not familiar with it, fortunately, the drivers of the Beijing Office are too familiar with Yanjing, although they don't know the café Sha Zhengyang said, but as long as the location is Gulou Street, it is not a problem.

Jaguar XJ8 sent Sha Zhengyang to the front of the café, and before Sha Zhengyang got out of the car, he saw that Qian Xuan had just gotten out of a taxi.

"Mr. Sha, when will I pick you up?" The driver, Lao Yu, seemed to be a very honest person, Sha Zhengyang originally wanted to say that he didn't have to pick it up, but he didn't want to push back and forth with the other party here, so he simply looked at his watch, "Half past nine, you come and pick me up, then it's hard, Master Yu." ”

Seeing that Sha Zhengyang was not polite, Lao Yu was also very happy, he was afraid that the other party would shirk it, which would make people embarrassed.

"Mr. Sha, don't be so polite, this is my job, you can call me Lao Yu, call me Master Yu, I feel angry. Yu Changqing is a veteran driver of Changhe Petroleum, and he is the oldest of the three full-time drivers in the Beijing office of Changhe Petroleum.

"Okay, then it's hard for you, Lao Yu, just call me before you go. Sha Zhengyang knows that mobile phones are not yet popular, and the middle cadres of the Beijing Office are equipped with mobile phones, but like everyone else, they only have pagers.

"No, I'll come here at half past nine, just wait around here, you want to leave and give me a pager, I'll drive over." Lao Yu is obviously familiar with this kind of thing.

Sha Zhengyang thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay, I'm basically stepping on this, almost." ”

As soon as he pushed open the slightly heavy old-fashioned wooden door, Sha Zhengyang felt a little like the Shanghai Paramount in the thirties, and the low "Night Fragrance" didn't know which singer had reinterpreted it, but it had a different taste.

Qian Xuan waved her hand, and Sha Zhengyang walked over with a smile when he saw it.

"Okay, take the jaguar, Changhe Energy Group is so rich, the Beijing office is a jaguar, and you also enjoy a special car transfer? Qian Xuan has become more and more capable and spicy after working at JP Morgan for a year, but Sha Zhengyang knows the other party's temperament and doesn't care, "I specifically asked you, and you made it clear that you want to come by yourself." ”

"How do I know you're so good now? Luxury cars are specially used for pick-up, and we JP Morgan are only renting cars for a long time here, basically all of them are crowns, dukes, etc., and we don't dare to compare with you. Qian Xuan shrugged, "What's the cup?"

"Just like you. "Sha Zhengyang doesn't pay much attention to coffee, even if Blue Mountain and Nestle Instant feel that the gap is not big.

The aroma of coffee gradually spread, and after taking a sip, Sha Zhengyang raised his head, as if he was reminiscing about something.

"Do you enjoy seeing you like this?" Qian Xuan took out a green moore and lit one.

"Do you think it's cool for women to smoke?" Sha Zhengyang doesn't like women to smoke, but he thinks it's someone else's freedom.

"No, I just like it, it's a little bit fascinating. Qian Xuan laughed, "Actually, I'm just pretending, and pretending feels good." ”

Qian Xuan's words amused Sha Zhengyang, "I see, I thought you were really mature, but it turned out to be ......"

"As a result, I am also very superficial and naïve?" Qian Xuan also laughed, "I think that being superficial and naïve may not be mature, everyone's understanding of life is different, this world is so big, taste more different things, good, suitable for yourself, then accept, bad, you are not suitable for yourself, then you should also taste it, this is normal, a pluralistic society, you should learn to tolerate." ”

"Okay, okay, don't educate me, I'm a good child born in New China and grew up under the red flag, don't tempt me. Sha Zhengyang picked up his coffee and took another sip.

"Who tempted you? You have no desire in your heart, no one can tempt you? Internal factors are the key, right?" Qian Xuan also likes to be amused with Sha Zhengyang, "I think I myself can be regarded as a bit of a good look, and the conditions are good in all aspects, but you guy's eyes are so clear and have no desire, I judge, either you have read too many people, so you have lost interest in this aspect, or you Yanagi Hui, well, synonymous with eunuchs, but I think you may be more likely to be the former." ”

"Why don't you say that you lack charm? Sha Zhengyang laughed.

One sentence made Qian Xuan angry, "Hey, how do you talk? The old lady doesn't want to look for it, if you really want to find it, every minute and every second, look at your shallow appearance, I can assert that you either like the kind of knowledgeable and gentle and virtuous little woman, or you like a mature woman with rich breasts and fat buttocks, right?"

"Yes, I like both types of women, I just don't like new women who are self-reliant, have temperament, quality, and cultural wisdom. Sha Zhengyang hurriedly picked up the call to make up for the knife, which made Qian Xuan even more angry.

After arguing for a while, the two slowly stopped and got to the point.

"Zhengyang, if you really want to, I'm afraid you have to hurry, PetroChina is also a little tempted, but they feel that they have been there for a year, the land has been trampled on the hot ground, and they are not willing to cooperate with JP Morgan anymore, and want to contact the Kazakh government directly, but they don't know enough about the situation of the Kazakh government and Aktobe Oil Company, and I personally think they have little chance of success. ”

When it comes to work, Qian Xuan calms down and is very rational and objective.

"The shortcoming of your side is that you have never been in contact with this kind of overseas acquisition before, and you have no experience at all, and you have no contact with the Kazakh government, even if JP Morgan helps you, but it is not very likely, because compared with PetroChina, your strength itself is not as good as the other party, and you have no experience, this time the bidding may also have foreign companies such as Texaco and Amoco, but they also have some worries about Aktobe Oil Company, so it may not be competitive in price. ”

"We didn't even say we had to hire JP Morgan as the coordinator. Sha Zhengyang frowned.

"Then you have no hope, maybe you can not hire JP Morgan in the future, but that has to be established after you have a firm foothold in Kazakhstan, but now if you don't have JP Morgan's help and support, it can be said that you have no chance of winning, this is not because I am JP Morgan's staff to say so, but because JP Morgan has been rooted in Kazakhstan for six years, since Kazakhstan became independent, we have been doing intelligence collection and relationship coordination in this area, so to speak, we are eating this bowl of professional rice. ”

"Well, if you want to prove that JP Morgan is worthy of being hired by our Long River Energy, or that it is valuable for us to work with you, then please come up with something more professional, not just the public information that I can gather through my own channels. Sha Zhengyang was also cold.

"Public intelligence? can you also collect it?" Qian Xuan sneered, "You're afraid you're dizzy, don't think that if you just find a few outsiders to give you some well-known information, you think you're an expert, let me tell you, which information, how much do you want, how much I will give you, but how valuable is that?"

"Aktobe Oil Company Auction, how much do you bid to not only defeat your opponents, but also meet your bottom line? How will Aktobe Oil Company be combined with your business in the future, you are far away, how can you let Aktobe Oil Company survive before the oil pipeline is not opened? The Kazakh government is not hostile to Chinese-funded enterprises, but it does not mean that people really welcome you to come, they prefer to come by themselves, but they don't have the strength, you Changhe Energy and Amoco, Texcoopie, there are too many shortcomings, and the strength is much worse, how can you overpower the other party? Relying on more money alone, you can only become stupid. ”

asked one question after another, which also showed that Qian Xuan was full of confidence in this regard,

This is also a problem that Sha Zhengyang has been considering, he first needs to get enough information through his own channels to form a basic information background, so that he will not be fooled by others when dealing with JP Morgan, and the other party will give you the most basic respect.

Sha Zhengyang didn't expect Qian Xuan to be a "traitor" in this regard, and some core things, JP Morgan could not hand over to her, a newcomer who had not been hired for a long time.

"Qian Xuan, Changhe Energy does not fight unprepared battles, of course we have our own channels, if we really feel that it is not enough, we can even choose a partner to merge together, whether it is Texaco, Amoco, or even PetroChina, it may not be impossible to cooperate. ”

Sha Zhengyang's words surprised Qian Xuan, and she immediately became nervous, "You plan to cooperate with these companies and merge together?"

If this is the case, then JP Morgan's role is much smaller, Texaco and Amoco have their own intelligence networks, which are no worse than JP Morgan in this regard, and only Chinese companies that have just gone abroad are weaker in this regard, which is also JP Morgan's opportunity.

This is also what Qian Xuan's boss told her.
