The newly built oil building has novel equipment and bright windows. The spacious corridors are painted flawlessly white, and the 40-watt incandescent lamps illuminate the corridors one after the other. At this time, rare elevators, safety instructions and other equipment are readily available in the building.

Interestingly, wisps of white smoke came out of the innermost room in the corridor at this time.

Although it looked like it was on fire, everyone outside the room knew that it was actually the people inside who were smoking too much, and the second-hand smoke was wafting out.

The meeting of the directors of the oil company has been going on for a day and a night.

Still no results.

The discussions on the Ontario line, the China-Kazakhstan line and the China-Arab line have been round after round. Even if someone asked to vote, they were stopped by the underdog, and the discussion continued, quickly turning from a long-distance run to a marathon.

Zhang Changting in Daqing was indeed caught off guard by Lin Yonggui. However, the Ontario line is more well prepared and has received the most support in the early stage. Although Lin Yonggui also received the support of two vice presidents and two bureau chiefs, he still did not account for a majority in the 18-member meeting.

Both men did their best to convince the other directors to agree with their views.

This is not easy, especially to make the head office and the branch company equally profitable, or even more profitable......

The lengthy meeting not only exhausted the bureau chiefs inside, but also made it difficult for the people from all sides to find out the news.

Several office staff, originally pretending to be ready to serve tea and pour water, leaned on the door in secret, but in the early hours of the morning, they couldn't pretend to be able to move, so they simply slipped through the crack of the door and inhaled the second-hand smoke wafting out of it, every once in a while. and then slowly pass the news to the leaders of their respective departments.

The bureau chiefs in the room are not paralyzed, every few hours, there is always a leader who wants to come out to relieve his hands, and at this time, he can get the latest news from his department, and then return to the negotiating table to play.

Joint Venture Issues, Diplomatic Issues, Funding Issues, Jurisdictional Issues...... One by one, they are listed. It's like a little monster, every time it comes out, it has to toss everyone for a long time.

Later that day, Sioux City, which had concluded the meeting of Dahua Industrial, also began to receive information about the meeting of the directors of the China National Petroleum Corporation.

It's like a foreign oil company. The information bureau of Dahua Industrial will also deliberately befriend some employees in the CNPC Group, get some public information from them, and occasionally ask them to do some harmless work.

Many things are difficult for outsiders to do, but if they are handed over to insiders. It doesn't take much to think about it.

The gossip of government agencies always spreads faster than official documents, and it has its own soil for growth. The energy industry is indispensable for the collection and analysis of gossip.

Even state-owned enterprises will consciously or unconsciously look for intelligence.

There's so much money involved

Even such an enterprise as Shengli Oilfield. It produces an average of 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day, which is not the largest in the world, and it will also produce 200 million barrels per year in 1993. The value will also exceed 6 billion yuan. If these crudes are reprocessed, they can produce as little as $2 per barrel. A profit of $10 represents another $400 million to $2 billion.

With so much money, as long as there is a 1% fluctuation, it will generate a gain or loss of 50 or 60 million dollars. Not to mention paying attention to intelligence, even if it is to raise an intelligence agency, it is more than enough.

If state-owned enterprises can still count on national intelligence agencies, then Dahua Industrial can only count on its own information bureau.

Without waiting for the end of the meeting of the directors of CNPC, Dong Feng first took out the analysis report of the Information Bureau, came to the office, handed it to Su Cheng, and said: "It seems that it is difficult to draw conclusions, it is estimated that there will be 4 directors who will decide to be neutral, and among the remaining 14 people, the two sides are likely to win over 7 each." The main thing is that with the attitude of this general manager, he probably won't take a stand, and he tends to be with the mud. ”

"For Lin Yonggui, it's a good ending. Sioux City flipped through the thin analysis report and said. Lin Yonggui's primary goal is to obtain the understanding of the Petroleum Corporation, and now, in the first round of confrontation between the two sides, they began to discuss the abolition of the Ontario Line and the China-Kazakhstan Line, which is indeed a result that exceeds expectations, and it is no problem to keep the primary goal.

In private, there is no lack of malice in Su Cheng, the director of the Daqing Administration Bureau is the most powerful contender for the next general manager, so these directors of the same level, even if they have no chance of getting the position of general manager, probably don't mind making a little stumbling block for Zhang Changting. Lin Yonggui took the initiative to take the lead in the battle of the security front, and I don't know how many people are happy to see it.

Voting a single abstention or even a yes vote doesn't matter to many.

Even if Zhang Changting became the general manager one day, he couldn't do anything about the number one person who was far away from the emperor these days.

Dong Feng still held a report in his hand, he looked down at it to confirm, then handed it to Su Cheng, and said: "Several other management bureaus have called Karama*, probably to inquire about the feasibility of the China-Kazakhstan line or the China-Arab line. Based on this experience, several other authorities are likely to come up with similar plans. ”

Su Cheng was stunned, he really didn't expect this situation. Under normal circumstances, any authority belongs to the China National Petroleum Corporation, and if they want to build oil pipelines, they always have to go through the China National Petroleum Corporation. However, with such a rebellious precedent as Shengli Oilfield, it is natural that other authorities can come up with new plans, even if they are phased

Similar to the China-Kazakhstan pipeline, different directions of travel represent different pipelines. Naturally, whichever Authority proposes to win wins, which Authority has the potential to reap the greatest benefits.

The most important of these is the management of 20 million tons of crude oil per year. Kramar* still has a branch of CNPC, but the current refining capacity may not be able to eat all 140 million barrels of crude oil. Therefore, no matter which authority can get tens of millions of barrels of oil, it can control hundreds of millions of dollars more funds, and there is nothing more meaningful for the CEO of a state-owned enterprise.

At the current bank interest rate, if 1 billion yuan is put in hand, even if it is pressed for an extra month, there will be tens of millions of interest, and a staff community can be built.

As the director of the bureau, if you don't fight, don't say anything else, the officials and employees below must first be full of emotion.

Su Cheng said slowly: "Except for the location of the pipeline. What other requirements could there be?"

Page 4. Baoji is definitely interested in the 1,000-kilometer-long pipeline, and the refining equipment in the Dagang oilfield has also improved, and if the refinery is built locally, I think they should be willing to intervene, not to mention the construction company and the design institute, they all have reasons to agree to the China-Arab line and the China-Kazakhstan line, not the Anda line. Because the Anda line is the Daqing oilfield, the China-Kazakhstan line and the China-Arab line can be evenly distributed within the head office. ”

Su Cheng was a little amused when he heard it, shook his head and said, "I didn't want to know before." Once it doesn't go well, the Ontario line is really an internal and external trouble. ”

Dong Feng was a serious person, coughed, and continued: "Indeed, the China-Kazakhstan line will be connected to Xin*Xinjiang. The branches there are weaker, and other companies can get a piece of the pie. If it is connected to Daqing, including the construction of the project, it may be swallowed by the Daqing Oilfield itself. Therefore, the branches are not too active. ”

"There are still more than 2,000 kilometers from Xin*Xinjiang to the interior, do you have an assessment? Do they care about this?" Sioux City is constantly training the evaluator of the Information Bureau, that is, his own intelligence officer. If he is still sure where the future will go. To a large extent, he was able to analyze whether the intelligence was correct or not, and in the intervals between his intelligible and intelligible assessments, he hoped that the intelligence officer's assessment would make up for it.

Dong Feng flipped a few more pages and said, "We think." Whether it is rail or pipeline transportation, it is a favorable condition for CNPC, and they may prefer this option. ”

"In that case, let's get ready for a field trip. The Information Bureau sent a few people. A few more people from the group. "Sioux City took out the list that was selected yesterday.

The purpose of the field trip is also to gather information in the vicinity. Whether it's military or commercial intelligence, 95% comes from publicly available collection. 4% is from semi-public information, and only less than 1% is classified as confidential information. Pearl Harbor during World War II, as well as Greenspan during World War II, are proof of this.

But whether it's public or non-public information, there's always a benefit to being on the ground.

Su Cheng put the assessment materials and the list in a folder and did not hand them over to Dong Feng.

Dong Feng smiled and nodded, slightly regretful. He reported directly to Sioux City that a staff member with such qualifications could theoretically only be the vice president of the Dahua Group, or the president of a branch. However, China's private sector has always had a variety of relationships, and as a Chinese entrepreneur, Sioux City is no exception. He can't strictly control the number of reporters like foreign CEOs, which will reduce the workload but weaken the control of the company. On the other hand, the group's top positions are always scarce, and increasing the number of reports and reducing promotions is also a kind of compensation for the old employees who can't keep up with the development of the group.

Dong Feng hopes that his information bureau can gain more power, just like many intelligence leaders in history. But Sioux City was clearly not prepared to give him that much power.

In the afternoon of the same day, the first batch of personnel dispatched by Dahua Industrial set off for Karamay, Kazakhstan, Moscow and Azerbaijan. Although the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia's influence in Central Asia is beyond doubt. Moreover, the only oil pipelines in Central Asia were built during the Soviet era, and all of them lead to Moscow. Whether or not new oil pipelines are built, these pipelines need to be understood.

After doing this, Su Cheng rested, called Shulan, and asked her to go to a big dinner.

It's one of Sioux City's favorite outdoor activities.

The Chinese metropolis of the early 90s was definitely a world of deliciousness. Although the newly emerging large hotels are expensive and unaffordable for salarymen, they do have a lot of favorable conditions. The pesticides and fertilizers that were criticized by the Chinese people in later generations were not serious in the early 90s. If the chef is a little more careful, any pure ingredients can be found, pollution-free, non-catalytic pollution-free vegetables, and farm pigs that have grown up in three years are everywhere. If you have spare money, it's a little difficult to eat white, but it's easy to get some bear's paws or something.

As usual, they took the car driven by Gu Hongjun and went to Jiaotong University to pick up Shulan first, and the two arrived at the Inge Hotel with a smile.

By the way, Sioux City also sighed: It's good to have a road without traffic jams.

No wonder later generations of government officials, desperately want to limit the number of travel, when the official car is a rare private car in the land of China, the joy of free driving, is indeed unparalleled.

When they arrived at a familiar position, Su Cheng and Shu Lan were sitting in a row, stretching their necks to prepare to order, but when they saw Su Zhenguo's secretary, they came over with a smile.

"The old man has just arrived, and I want to meet you. The secretary smiled pleasantly.
