It took the whole afternoon to get acquainted with each other, and at the same time to further understand the situation, especially Liu Qiao asked the two to call each other in an intimate tone as much as possible, so as not to show their feet in tomorrow's conversation. （pm）

Zhao Guodong and Liu Ruotong also walked around twice in Saite and Lufthansa under the supervision of Liu Qiao, and they bought whatever they wanted, and Zhao Guodong also bought a bamboo carving and two tubes of tea according to Liu Ruotong and Liu Qiao's instructions, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for tomorrow's visit.

It was easy to send the Liu sisters away, Zhao Guodong was relieved, he felt that Liu Ruotong was also tossed by Liu Qiao enough, but when he came to this point, he and Liu Ruotong didn't seem to have a choice, and both of them were a little reluctant to fall short, and they had to bite the bullet.

When Zhao Guodong arrived at Cai Zhengyang's office, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon and he was about to get off work, and after talking to Zhao Guodong on the phone, Cai Zhengyang asked him to go directly to the office, and he still had some things to deal with.

When he stepped into Zhao Guodong's office, Zhao Guodong saw the man sitting on the sand talking to Cai Zhengyang at a glance, and seemed to feel a little familiar, but he felt as if he had never seen it.

"Guodong, come here, get to know, this is Liu Yan, director of the State Petroleum and Chemical Industry Bureau, Liu Yan, this is Zhao Guodong, the one I often mention to you." Cai Zhengyang smiled and beckoned, motioning for Zhao Guodong to come over and take a seat.

"Hello, good luck." Zhao Guodong was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared.

"Hehe, fortunately, I have heard Director Cai mention you many times, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet, and today I really see a dragon-shaped tiger and a strange Director Cai will value you so much." The middle-aged man is less than forty years old, with thick eyebrows and a broad face, and a slightly tall nose bridge with a hint of an inverted hook, which is commonly known as an eagle hook nose, with slightly deep eye sockets, but a pair of eyes are shining, as if to see through people's minds at a glance.

"Uh, I think it's more appropriate to call you Brother Yan, I've heard Brother Cai mention you a long time ago, saying that you are the first colleague and friend who can sit and talk about Taoism after he arrived in Beijing, and I have long admired your name, and it's my honor to meet today." Zhao Guodong's words of compliment poured out.

"Okay Liu Yan, don't praise each other between you and Guodong, Guodong is a little brother, there are many things that have to be consulted and benefited from you, you don't hide your secrets." Cai Zhengyang shook his head and waved his hand, "Sit down, Guodong, Liu Yan and I are discussing things at work, if it is not boring, you can also listen to it." ”

Zhao Guodong also sat down with peace of mind, and the two talked about work.

The work of the talks mainly focused on the visit of the two to Kazakhstan with the general manager. In September, the two visited Kazakhstan with the Prime Minister. A rather important working visit was made to Kazakhstan. The Prime Minister's solo visit to a Central Asian country has attracted the attention of some countries. On the contrary, it has not attracted attention in China. Zhao Guodong also knew that it was probably Cai Zhengyang who said that his strategic assessment report on the medium and long-term situation of national energy attracted the attention of the central government.

Cai Zhengyang also mentioned it to Zhao Guodong, and said to be sure that the two had consulted on this issue. On the issue of Kazakhstan, Zhengyang strongly advocated that the state should vigorously support the entry of state-owned energy enterprises into Kazakhstan. It seeks joint ventures or sole proprietorships to exploit Kazakhstan's oil and gas resources, and actively prepares for the construction of energy pipelines from the eastern coast across Chinese mainland to Xinjiang and into Central Asia to Caspian Haiti. Although this plan has also attracted the attention of some central leaders, it has also caused some controversy in economic circles. It's too much ahead of its time and too much in terms of investment. For now, China's energy problem does not seem to be tense enough to warrant such a program.

However, Cai Zhengyang found a strong support within the Economic and Trade Commission. That is Liu Yan. Liu Yan is a graduate of Chinese People's University. He has studied the international situation quite a bit. Cai Zhengyang's opinion resonated strongly with him. Although he is only a department-level cadre. However, in some respects, its energy is not comparable to Cai Zhengyang. Cai Zhengyang is also quite clear about this.

The like-minded two immediately became Cai Zhengyang's proposed national energy medium and long-term strategic plan, and tried their best to advocate it. In particular, Liu Yan is also looking for support from the Central Policy Research Office, the Policy Research Office of the State Council, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and several well-known universities in Beijing. It has also formed an influential research group. to support Cai Zhengyang's plan.

Zhao Guodong was also quite interested in the discussion between the two. In fact, this point of view was first put forward by him to Cai Zhengyang. It's just that Cai Zhengyang stands in the position of vice chairman of the State Economic and Trade Commission, and the information and materials he obtains are a hundred times richer than Zhao Guodong's. What is known about the ground

Detailed and comprehensive, in the consideration of some issues are also more measured and step-by-step, Zhao Guodong put forward the energy crisis and control of Central Asian energy to ensure the security of China's energy supply but agrees, this is also the original intention of his idea of the country's energy long-term strategic planning.

"Brother Cai, Brother Yan, the state actually has many ways and strategies to support state-owned energy enterprises, the financial sector provides financial support, the national financial department provides policy support, and provides infrastructure guarantees, these are all means." Zhao Guodong saw that the two of them were talking lively, and couldn't help but interject, "Especially in infrastructure construction, I think the national energy strategy can be combined with the economy of China's central and western regions, and now the gap between China's central and western regions and the eastern region is increasing day by day, I believe that the central leadership has also noticed this, especially in the northwest inland region, the southern Xinjiang railway is under active construction, once completed, it can establish a bridgehead role for the bridgehead of the Central Asian countries. From there, it can go directly to the heart of the Eurasian continent, and the energy of the Caspian Sea region is an endless source of energy for our use, and the investment in the construction of these infrastructure will not only help to alleviate the current economic growth rate of our country, which is already weak,"

"Guodong, many domestic experts for our proposal to establish a connection between the west and Central Asia energy channel is also quite controversial, especially this requires a considerable amount of capital investment, and time-consuming and labor-intensive, they feel that the current energy situation in China is relatively stable, the international oil price is also at the right price, we can fully protect our country's crude oil needs through shipping." Liu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked intentionally.

"The frog at the bottom of the well!" Zhao Guodong scornfully pouted, what he can do for the country now is to influence the national energy strategy through the two people in front of him, if he can do it, at least he can pay hundreds of billions or even trillions less for his country's energy needs in ten years, and can also establish a relatively good energy security channel for the country, and at the same time lay the foundation for the country to expand its influence in Central Asia.

Liu Yan is not angry but happy, he has long heard Cai Zhengyang praise the young man in front of him is rare in the world, especially Cai Zhengyang introduced some of Zhao Guodong's views, which is indeed refreshing, and such a profound and far-reaching character in terms of views is actually just a young man in his twenties, but this can only be said to have aroused his interest, if it is a school specializing in this research, it is difficult to say that he can have such a point of view, but this guy is not a character who learns this kind of paper talk, is a real grassroots cadre, and has already served as the secretary of the county party committee of a county!

As a political family, Liu Yan naturally knows the meaning and weight of the secretary of the county party committee, if the secretary of the county party committee is a member of the central ministries and commissions, it is naturally not a problem, but this is often the basis of an official's deeds, many provincial and ministerial-level officials are from the position of the county party secretary step by step to the senior leadership position, and the central high-level is now paying more and more attention to the grassroots work experience of officials, in their view, only but as a county master in charge of the role can really shoulder the heavy responsibility of ruling the party.

It is based on such curiosity that Liu Yan became extremely interested in this guy, and even when Cai Zhengyang mentioned that this guy was on the throne, he also intended to match his cousin to meet this guy, Cai Zhengyang also quite agreed, and immediately arranged for Zhao Guodong to come to Beijing.

Of course, Liu Yan also knows Cai Zhengyang's intentions, the influence of the Liu family in the domestic political arena is not comparable to that of a provincial and ministerial-level official or even one or two central leaders, which is also the imprint of the precipitation of thousands of years of history in China's political arena.

Cai Zhengyang is not a thing in the pool, Liu Yan knows that he can be highly praised by Vice Premier Hong, who is known as the "iron-fisted Danxin" in China, and this guy's soaring is just around the corner, and the National People's Congress is actively discussing the reinstatement of the post of Minister of Energy, and even if he has the support of family influence, it is already quite good to be able to compete for the position of vice minister.

And Zhao Guodong is not to be underestimated, his advantage is in age, twenty-seven years old, what kind of concept is this, even in the high-level departments of the central ministries and commissions, it is not bad to be able to run to a department-level cadre, but this guy can enter the department-level cadres at the grassroots level, and the difficulty is similar to that of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

At the end of the year, there are many assessments, and Lao Rui is also helpless, I hope the brothers will give more votes to comfort it!
