The negotiations on the Sino-Russian oil pipeline are not only difficult, but can be described as a marathon on the tip of a knife.

Russia is a fragile energy state. It has a vast territory and abundant resources, but all over Russia, the only thing that can really act as an international currency is energy, or more precisely, oil. Even expensive diamonds and caviar, in terms of total volume, cannot be compared with petrocurrency. This was true in the Soviet Union under Stalin, and it was true in the Soviet Union after World War II, and there was no difference between Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Gorbachev, or Yeltsin's and Putin's Russia.

Russia or the Soviet Union, there are many things needed...... Grains and machinery are all commodities that they buy in bulk. In fact, if grain was not purchased in large quantities, the USSR would have starved to death every year. In the 60s, the Soviet Union bought grain in large quantities for the first time, spending a third of the country's gold reserves in one fell swoop. Khrushchev said conclusively: It is unthinkable for a large country like ours to buy food with gold, and we want to reverse this phenomenon.

When Khrushchev said this, he was full of ambition, but it did not mean anything. What really saved the Soviets from starvation was the new technology and discoveries of the oil industry, not their terrible agricultural technology.

Since then, the Soviet Union has been importing more and more grain, and it can only be oil, and only oil, that supports all this......

Nearly 100 years of history have made it difficult for Russia's politics and economy to be entangled in the oil monster. What do we rely on for food? Oil; What does it depend on to maintain the centripetal force of the member countries? Cheap oil; Where does the budget for the military race come from? It can only be oil.

After the disintegration of Russia, it seems to be in ruins, but what it really attracts foreign investors is still oil.

Such a country, which is ostensibly open-minded, welcomes investors from all over the world. Any energy investor, like Zhang Changting, who represents the Daqing Petroleum Company, will be treated with solemnity and warmth when he first arrives in Russia.

However, once things got to the point of substance, Russian politicians, officials, and people began to worry about it for a long time.

Foreign investors exploit oil in Russia, and in the eyes of Russians, it is as if their own blood has been extracted.

That's right. If oil is taken as the blood of Russia. Then this country is a country that survives by selling blood. They are as worried about selling oil as they are about selling their own blood.

If someone wants to make a fortune from Russia's energy deals, the Russians will be as angry as blood sellers who have had their blood stolen.

In desperation, the Russians can only continue to sell their oil. However. This does not mean that they like this way, just like any blood seller, but they are willing to choose another life if they are given the slightest chance.

Zhang Changting walked on the territory of the Soviet Big Brother in the past, his nose breathed the smell of the dead corpse of the Soviet Big Brother, his eyes saw the unyielding cell wall of the Soviet Big Brother, and his palm touched the soul of the Soviet Big Brother. Nothing goes smoothly.

The Russian company Yukos, which proposed the Anda line, has no intention of urging the Russian government at all. Khodorkovsky, the Jewish boss, was primarily targeting his oil company to increase production. For him, selling oil to China is a long-term and meaningful goal. But. The most important task is to increase the production of your own company.

Zhang Changting visited several times, but in the end he did not see Khodorkovsky. The answer he received from Yukos was a "wait" that did not reassure him.

When Zhang Changting stayed a little longer, he gradually realized the situation of Yukos Company. One company to carry out the oil pipeline between the two countries. The company has to be extremely strong.

And the Sino-Kazakh oil pipeline, the huge Russian Federation. In addition to the desire for Europe, there is a lot of contempt for China and the former Soviet Union member states. Intellectually, they can see the prospects of the Chinese market and the scale of oil consumption, but the Russian Federation will not get involved in the Russian-Russian oil pipeline until it has some eyebrows.

If it is replaced by the Yukos company, which is strong enough to dare to challenge Putin in 10 years later, they have the ability to independently promote the Ontario line. If the weak Russia is replaced by the even weaker Kazakhstan, then the Daqing oilfield, together with the background of the China National Petroleum Corporation, is also qualified to continue the Anda line.

However, when these two independent conditions are not met, the Ontario Line can only wait for a suitable opportunity.

In Russia in 93, there may be one or two suitable opportunities, Zhang Changting himself has no information support, and he came to Moscow in a hurry, hesitated for a month, and finally had no choice but to book a return ticket.

The general manager is a humanoid stamp most of the time, but it can't be without it.

When he arrived at the airport, Zhang Changting was not in a good mood, threw the briefcase to the secretary to hold, and sat at the window, looking at the white plane in a daze.

"Mr. Zhang is in a good mood. A young man pounced and sat down next to him.

The young man had a new high-end suit, a valuable diamond-encrusted watch, and he was a Chinese at the Moscow airport, although Zhang Changting was in a bad mood, he only glanced at him with horizontal eyebrows and did not say anything.

The young man cocked Erlang's legs and said, "Mr. Zhang may not have seen me, let me introduce myself." My name is Su Xing, representing the Su family and the Wang family. ”

"The Su family and the Wang family?" Zhang Changting thought quickly.

"That's right, the Su family and the Wang family. ”

"Which Su family is it?"

Su Xing raised his finger upwards and said, "It's the Su family." ”

"Oh......" Zhang Changting was solemn and asked, "What do you mean by the representative?"

"I can help you get a commitment from the Russian side. "It's not like Su Cheng, when Su Xing speaks, he always has a taste of Lao Tzu's number one in the world.

Zhang Changting smiled unhappily and said, "How can I help?"

Looking at Su Xing's age and style, Zhang Changting was full of distrust.

Su Xing grinned greatly, beckoned back, and said, "I'll find someone to tell you." ”

Zhang Changting's brows were about to be twisted into Sichuan characters.

After a while, Su Yaping, who had big ears, appeared in front of Zhang Changting.

Su Xingle said hehehe: "I said it a long time ago, determine how difficult it is to cooperate." ”

Su Yaping glanced at him helplessly, turned his head to Zhang Changting and smiled: "Mr. Zhang, I am Su Yaping, the current chairman of Nanqing Group, and we are also deeply honored to cooperate with Daqing Oilfield." ”

"Wait, what cooperation?" Zhang Changting was completely confused.

Su Yaping's expression changed slightly, and his head twisted towards Su Xing.

Su Xing said indifferently: "Look at his appearance, he obviously agreed to cooperate." Didn't we talk about it, you can talk about the details?"

Su Yaping is a fire in his heart, and it is not easy to show it, he originally trusted his nephew, but he only heard that after he was double-opened, he became more and more out of tune, and he didn't realize that he didn't want to be adjusted to such an extent. If you knew this was the case, why should you give him the opportunity to practice......

Standing in front of Zhang Changting, he didn't say much, covered it up, and asked, "What did you talk about just now?"

"That's all, the details are left to you. Su Xing shook his hand, looking like a young master.

Zhang Changting twisted his nose and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Su Yaping endured it so that he didn't break out. "I'm sorry, we want to help you. ”

"What?"

"We will help you to get a commitment from the Russian government on the Sino-Russian oil pipeline......"

"I've said that part. Su Xing interrupted Su Yaping's words, quite dissatisfied.

Su Yaping could only be more dissatisfied, and recited the Buddhist scriptures silently a few times before stopping.

At this time, Zhang Changting was already quite impatient.

Su Yaping hurriedly said: "I'll say it directly." As far as we know, Yukos found a high-yield specialist in the oil field, named Serinov. His mission is to assist Yukos in solving the problem of oil production. Not only Yukos, but also many Russian oil merchants are looking for ways to increase the production of oil fields. Therefore, if the Daqing Oilfield can help the Russians, it will not be so difficult to ask them to come forward to agree to the Ontario line. ”

Oil companies will always need to increase production, and even more so in the emerging Russian Federation. During his stay in Moscow, Zhang Changting was able to appreciate the shortage of supplies in Russia. Without oil exports, Russia, which is based on the legacy of the collapsed Soviet Union, can only wait for a new round of collapse.

Restoring the turbulent Russian oil industry to Soviet-era levels has been a major priority for at least the last two years.

Zhang Changting pondered for a while, and then asked: "How to solve the problem of oil production?"

"We can do an aid project, from the Daqing oil field, to work in Russia. Su Yaping said excitedly and said, "You don't have to worry about the aid project, we have done a good job here." In terms of oil production, if you have new technologies, you can try them, and in addition, you can help the Russians dig more wells or something, which can attract favor. ”

"I have any new technology somewhere. Moreover, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to send people to explore oil wells, so what can I do if I help them two drilling teams?" Zhang Changting had no confidence at all.

Zhang Changting shook his head and said, "It's not 2 drilling teams, it's 100." Moreover, provide equipment and logistics yourself. ”

Zhang Changting's eyes widened, and he smiled angrily: "Do you know how much 100 drilling teams cost?"

"No matter how much money you make, the more money you make for the Russians, the more willing they are to help. ”

Zhang Changting hesitated for a moment and said, "Sending a drilling team will affect Daqing's own work, how much can they contribute?"

Su Xing had a sarcastic smile on his face: "How much does it cost? Of course, it's free." That's it, we're going to help you think of something else. ”
