Chapter 532: The Grand Blueprint
…
"The Samorotel oil field is located in the West Siberian oil region of our country, in the central part of West Siberia. www.biquge.info With nearly 40 billion tons of proven reserves and more than 7 billion tons of recoverable reserves, the world's second only to Saudi Arabia's Ghawar oil field is the largest oil field in the Soviet Union. The most rare thing is that it is so close to China that you only need to build a thousand kilometers of oil and gas pipelines to sell them to China. Well, my friend, with your nod you owning fifty-one percent of the Samolotl oil field in the world's second largest oil field. ”
Xu Cun glanced at Pyotr Shevardnadze and said leisurely: "If this is all the cooperation plan offered by your Soviet Union, then I think I can only say sorry to my friend Peter, I can't invest in your Soviet Union." ”
Peter Shevardnadze hurriedly said: "Hey, Xu, you can't make such an important decision so hastily, the Samolotl oil field is the second largest oil field in the world, I promise you will regret losing it!" ”
Xu Cun looked at Pyotr Shevardnadze squarely and said, "Peter, it's not that I'm not interested in the Tyumen oil fields, it's that the cooperation plan provided by your Soviet Union is unreliable. First of all, I think you will not know that if the United States is obstructing this matter, I can only choose to give up investing in the Soviet Union. Second, the plan provided by the Soviet Union has not been fully considered and investigated, and the construction of an oil and gas pipeline of more than 1,000 kilometers will be able to sell the oil and natural gas of the Soviet Union to China, and China is now an oil-exporting country, and a large part of its foreign exchange is earned by exporting oil. Taking a step back, even if I had the ability to sell Soviet oil and natural gas to China, it would not be possible to build only one oil and gas pipeline of more than 1,000 kilometers, and it would be nearly 1,000 kilometers to build oil and gas pipelines from the Amur region, which is across the river from China's Heilongjiang Province, to China's Daqing oil field. ”
As soon as he heard what Xu Cun said, Pyotr Shevardnadze saw that Xu Cun said that it was not a matter of faith to go to the Soviet Union to invest in the oil business.
Pyotr Shevardnadze even suspected that Xu Cundu might have made plans to invest in the oil business in the Soviet Union.
With this realization and doubt, Pyotr Shevardnadze met Xu Cun's gaze and said: "Xu, please believe me, our Soviet Union's sincerity in attracting investment must be greater than you think!" Now, tell me, my friend, do you already have a better solution? ”
Xu Cun picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of the tea cup made from the tea leaves given to him by Deng Gong, and then said noncommittally: "First of all, let's talk about how you Soviet Union is going to solve the trouble of the United States, if this trouble is not solved, it is meaningless to talk about anything." ”
Seeing that Xu Cun was not moved by empty words at all, Pyotr Shevardnadze could only say truthfully: "In the near future, General Secretary Gorbachev will personally visit the United States, and if the plan you put forward can move General Secretary Gorbachev, I think General Secretary Gorbachev will definitely exchange the United States at any cost for agreeing to your investment in the Soviet Union." ”
Pyotr Shevardnadze said these empty words, but they were more sincere empty words than before: in the current situation, the only way for the Soviet Union to agree to the Soviet Union's investment in oil was through a political exchange.
Seeing that Peter Shevardnadze had already shown sincerity, Xu Cun stretched out his hand to Huo Wenxi.
Then, Huo Wenxi put a document she had been holding in her hand and put it in Xu Cun's hand.
Xu Cun put the document on the table and said: "The oil-natural gas pipeline I am going to build starts from the city of Tyshet in the Irkutsk region of Eastern Siberia (it is the hub of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Baia-Argentine Railway) and ends in Berevoznaya Bay near the port of Nakhodka in the Far East. The total length of the pipeline is 4,130 kilometers, of which 34 percent passes through the relevant district of the Amur Region, which is separated by a river from China's Heilongjiang Province, and the rest passes through the village of Kazachinskoye in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the city of Khabarovsk, the capital of the Khabarovsk Territory, and finally reaches the terminal through the Primorsky Territory. In the first phase, Siberian oil will be transported by train from Skovorochino to the seaside port and then exported by tankers to Asia-Pacific countries. When the pipeline is fully completed, Siberian oil will be able to reach the Pacific Ocean through the pipeline. After the completion of the construction of the skovorocchino-Mohe branch of the pipeline and the docking of the pipeline in China, oil deliveries to China began. The first phase includes the 2,694-kilometer-long "Tashet-Skovorocchino" oil pipeline with an annual capacity of 30 million tons, seven oil pumping stations, and a special oil transport port "Kozemino" with an annual oil capacity of 15 million tons. The second phase includes the 2,100-kilometre "Skovorocchino-Kozemino Port" pipeline, eight oil pumping stations, and the expansion of the port. Every year, 500 100,000-ton mega tankers will come to the port. A petrochemical plant with an annual processing capacity of 20 million tonnes and a power station will be built near Nakhotka......"
Listening to the grand blueprint drawn by Xu Cun, Peter Shevardnadze's hands trembled a little as he looked through the documents!
If it is really like what Xu Cun described, then this project is too important for the Soviet Union!
First, it allowed the Soviet Union to diversify its oil exports.
Secondly, it could open the USSR's access to the Asia-Pacific market, providing new opportunities.
Thirdly, it can contribute to the economic development of the Far East and Siberia and create a large number of jobs.
Secondly, it can lead to new large enterprises, which in turn can place a large number of orders with other enterprises.
In addition, this project is also of great strategic importance - if the Asia-Pacific region, which has a growing demand for oil, can also use Soviet oil and gas, then the international status of the Soviet Union will certainly be greatly enhanced!
It can be said that Xu Cun has drawn a grand blueprint that the Soviet Union simply cannot refuse!
Closing the file, Pyotr Shevardnadze looked at Xu Cun and said with sincerity: "Xu, before that, the greatest sincerity I brought was to provide you with a low-interest loan of five billion rubles...... But after reading the plan you came up with, I think that the low-interest loan of 5 billion rubles is no longer enough to express the sincerity of our Soviet Union, and I think you should go to the Soviet Union and talk to General Secretary Gorbachev face to face, so that you and our Soviet Union can cooperate better......"
