Sioux City's hands on his handbag didn't move.

He wasn't sure if the $1 million bond would work as well as it should. When it comes to Nazarbayev's status, it is difficult to say whether $1 million will be enough if he loses his political prestige in order to gain economic benefits. Especially when the pipeline project has not yet been skimmed.

However, when Sioux City came to see Nazarbayev, he naturally prepared a killer plan.

Seeing that his attitude was firm, he did not hesitate any longer, and asked directly: "Mr. Nazarbayev, do you have any plans to move the capital?"

The sound of Sioux City was not loud, but it was like thunder, and it exploded in Nazarbayev's ears.

No matter what country you are in, moving the capital is a great thing, and it is bound to offend people. Nazarbayev, although he has been thinking about this for a long time, has not yet announced his intentions.

Called out by a foreigner, Nazarbayev's surprise can be imagined.

He glanced deeply at Su Cheng, then opened the door of the study without saying a word, and ordered: "See if there are people around, check the electronic devices." ”

The guards who were waiting there put their legs together, called a few people, and searched for them.

A quarter of an hour later, Nazarbayev, who had been rewarded, waved him away, returned to the sofa, and asked: "Where did you get the news?"

Su Cheng sat as steady as Mount Tai and said with a smile: "It seems that something is indeed the case?"

Of course, Nazarbayev will not give him a chance to confirm, and said with a smile: "You are interested in Kazakhstan's oil and gas resources, what are you exchanging them for?"

"In addition to the 20 million tons per year crude oil purchase agreement, we can also organize a group of construction engineering companies to you. Su Cheng opened his bag and took out a document from the other side and put it on the coffee table. Pushing it to Nazarbayev, he said: "Chinese construction companies are very good, if Mr. Nazarbayev wants to move the capital, we can start construction first, and if there is enough money, we can rebuild a city." The northern part of your country is relatively cold, and there is no suitable housing to live in, so the opposition of civil servants will increase. In addition, if the new city is built more prosperously. There will probably be a little more people who agree. At worst, the opposition will be a little weaker. ”

Nazarbayev shook his head: "As long as the construction company is willing to give money, there will always be it, and besides, the best designers and construction teams in the world." It must be French and German companies. ……”

"If you give the job to the Germans, within 10 years, you don't want to see the results. Maybe for 20 years, they won't be able to build it. The Germans were notoriously slow. ”

"But the quality is also good. ”

"What you need now is speed, not quality. Even if their building can last 200 years, it will take 20 years to build. What's the point of 200 years? Of course, you might ask them to build a few luxurious buildings, but ordinary houses, shops, roads, if done by a Chinese construction team. It's only three or four years at most. ”

Nazarbayev only thought about it for a moment, then straightened his face and said: "If that's it, you better go back." ”

"4 years. We will be able to build a new capital of Kazakhstan, a new city. It can accommodate 500,000 people. Wherever it is!" Sioux City cocked his fingers.

"Where?" said Nazarbayev, slightly moved.

"That's right, even in Siberia, we are prepared, 4 years. Sioux City knows that the new capital city selected by Nazarbayev is a small city near Siberia, with a minimum temperature of minus 40 degrees, which is also an interesting fact about oil, from the warm Almaty to Siberia, the civil servants have a lot of pain, and it is said that the divorce rate of civil servants in Kazakhstan has reached the highest in the history of Kazakhstan after the capital was moved.

Although Nazarbayev has not yet announced the news of moving the capital, as long as he thinks about it, he can also analyze those rebellious factors. It's like the capital of China, if you move from Bei*Beijing to Yan*'an, how many civil servants' wives will have to be separated, and how many godfathers and goddaughters will have to break up painfully...... In contrast, if you move from Bei*Beijing to Xi*'an, there will be fewer tragic things.

"If you dare to sign such an agreement and keep it confidential, I can take the initiative to invite Beijing to build the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline. Nazarbayev finally relented.

Sioux City secretly clenched his fists.

The Anda line was also invited by the Russian side on its own initiative, of course, Daqing and PetroChina, how much they paid for it, he did not know. But as a private company, it is really not easy to move Nazarbayev.

Su Cheng smiled and took out a folder in his handbag, also put it on the coffee table, pushed it to Nazarbayev, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, a little novelty, please don't be surprised." ”

Nazarbayev lifted his chin and opened the folder. Inside is the $1 million bearer bonds, 100,000 yuan each, a total of 10 notes, painted with bells and whistles, very much dollar bills.

"It was a pleasure to work with. Nazarbayev, who made concessions, was in a good mood, took the initiative to shake hands with Sioux City, and asked: "What is your oil pipeline plan?"

At this point, his attitude is less official.

Su Cheng smiled and began to explain. From the composition of the oil pipeline company, to the composition of the Chinese investment group, to the technology used in the oil pipeline, as well as the design, manufacture, installation, maintenance and even the end use of the oil......

These things will have to be bargained for in the future.

Nazarbayev just listened, and he understood the goal of Dahua Industrial.

Sioux City didn't expect any response from Nazarbayev, so he introduced it for 20 minutes in one breath and said with a smile: "No matter what, it will always make money for both sides, so I can start preparing for the official delegation of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline?"

For a formal delegation, Nazarbayev naturally needs to make a formal request first.

The latter did not hesitate, and said, "After signing the agreement, I will arrange the time." ”

"No problem. Sioux City spoke in a relaxed tone.

Nazarbayev said with some curiosity: "It is not easy to rebuild a city. ”

"It's just a few more engineering teams. Maybe it would be faster if we were allowed to recruit workers from Kazakhstan. ”

"Yes. "Nazarbayev is quite happy in this regard.

Su Cheng sighed and said, "Then there is no problem, you just need to give an order, and we can start construction." ”

As long as the funds are in place, China's construction teams will not only rebuild a city, but they will want to tear it down and rebuild it every five or ten years. Today's Chinese construction companies, although they have not reached the level of later generations, as long as the genes are the same, it is nothing more than a matter of time and money. If the domestic engineering team has undergone 20 years of training, why should Sioux City promise four years, it is estimated that in more than a year, a new city will be built on the ground.

Nazarbayev nodded in disbelief. Kazakhstan inherited many of the legacies of the Soviet Union, inherited their excellent heavy industry, and likewise inherited the characteristics of a sparse population. Not only did they lack construction workers, but they also lacked the construction industry, and the sparsely populated nature of the land made tall and dense buildings unnecessary, and also lacked the necessity of rapid construction.

The rebuilding of a city, as is common practice among workers in Kazakhstan, will not be completed in 10 years.

This is also a big trouble for moving the capital, and if Sioux City can solve this problem, Nazarbayev naturally does not mind giving the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline a chance. What he really paid was to take the initiative to propose the oil pipeline and weaken some of the negotiations.

However, with Russia leading the United States and the low price of oil in the Middle East, it is normal for Kazakhstan to take the initiative to build an oil pipeline if it wants to obtain an oil pipeline with stable income.

In fact, without the involvement of Sioux City and Dahua Industrial, it would take another 5678 years for the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline to have a substantial start. Nazarbayev can also feel this,

Now the Middle East oil has not really become nervous, and Caspian oil does not have a strategic advantage. Although there are many companies that build oil pipelines and pursue Kazakh oil fields, they are all based on the long-term, the oil pipelines to Turkish ports are mainly oriented to the United States, and the oil pipelines to Europe have not yet been built, and the last direction is the oil pipelines to China, Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries, which is also the most lacking interest in the China-Kazakhstan oil pipelines.

The signing of various documents will be completed in the next few days.

The conditions given by Sioux City are indeed favorable, with an underwriting of 20 million tons per year, so that there will be no loss of idling of the oil pipeline. Although the construction company did not determine the time and place, Sioux City also signed the name on the terms promised to Nazarbayev. As long as the construction of the oil pipeline is confirmed, Dahua Industrial will contract the equivalent of the amount of work in a city.

At the same time, Sioux City also contacted affiliated companies in China. Today, there are more than 3,000 companies involved in Dahua's supply chain alone, and looking for one or two large contractors is nothing at all.

As long as the money is given, the Chinese can even survive and sprout in the chaotic black Africa, let alone just a Central Asian country.

After a series of actions, Nazarbayev did not break his promise.

At an international conference at the end of the month, he openly proposed that he hope that Asian countries, especially friendly neighboring countries, will also participate in the construction, development, and utilization of Kazakhstan's oil pipelines.

The Chinese reporters, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately went up to inquire carefully, and from Nazarbayev's mouth, there was no doubt that they got the word "China".

Since then, officials of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who have been publicized, have also asked the Kazakh side for specific letters.

Not to mention that Daqing's tentacles can't stretch so far, even if they stretch out, all these procedures are also reasonable and legal.
