Lin Chaoran patted his chest and said, "My body is really trained, and it is not so easy to collapse!" Yimeng, don't you spoil my interest, okay? Mrs. Gao glanced at him helplessly and said, "You are older, you should pay more attention than ordinary people, and remind yourself from time to time that you are no longer a strong young man in your twenties and thirties!" ”

Lin Chaoran sighed and said, "Really." Isn't there still Xiao Gang here, as long as he is here, I will go to Lord Yama, and he will be able to get me back.

No, Xiaogang! ”

Li Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "Yes!" ”

Then he said to Mrs. Gao: "Mom, you don't have to worry. Longquan wine is different from traditional wine, it does not hurt the body as much as it drinks, but the more you drink, the greater the benefit to the body, you can rest assured! ”

Lin Chaoran groped for a bottle of Longquan wine on the table, and said faintly: "Xiaogang, do you know, for me, any great thing you have done, in my eyes, there is no excitement that you invented Longquan wine!" ”

After speaking, he unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a deep breath, the fragrant and sweet taste made him shiver involuntarily, and his face was full of comfort.

Li Xiaogang smiled: "That's because you are a good drinker." Lin Chaoran nodded and smiled: "Not bad, not bad at all." That's why I say that this person can't help but instinctively judge something based on his own preferences.

There are too few people who can truly be impartial. Lin Chaoran suddenly said this, which made Li Xiaogang's brows wrinkle.

Gao Liguo chuckled and said, "Xiaogang, do you understand, this is the old man warning you!" The Middle East is a chaotic border, where interests and contradictions are entangled. Wheels within wheels. You hold Iraq in one hand and Israel in the other, which requires you to stand on a fair and just position no matter what decision you make, and never mix your preferences for a certain country, if that is the case, any decision you make is biased! ”

Lin Chaoran filled the wine glasses of Li Xiaogang and Gao Liguo with a smile, and then filled his own glasses. said with a smile in his eyes: "Liguo is right, that's what I mean." Do you know why the powerful country of M has never been able to gain a foothold in the Middle East? It's because he doesn't understand this truth. Prop up one country and suppress another. As a result, we can only get bogged down in the quagmire of the Middle East, from which we cannot extricate ourselves. If you don't want to follow in the footsteps of country M, you have to think carefully about what I said. ”

Li Xiaogang nodded solemnly and said, "I seem to understand...... Lin Chaoran laughed: "You are a smart person." Just click on it! Come, let's drink! ”

The three of them touched a full glass, laughing and enjoying the delicious food like a mountain.

During the banquet, Lin Chaoran suddenly said to Li Xiaogang: "Xiaogang, you won't leave soon when you come back this time, right?" Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "Not necessarily! Maybe soon. Maybe it's to stay for a while. ”

"Oh?" Lin Chaoran looked at Li Xiaogang with some puzzlement.

Li Xiaogang smiled slightly and said, "That's the case." Longteng Energy Group is already on the right track. It won't be long before oil is produced. But now. We also haven't been able to get enough of OPEC's shares, so I'm going to have a good talk with OPEC Secretary Baraku. However, at this time, Baraku was traveling in Europe, and I had to choose to wait helplessly. ”

Gao Liguo suddenly smiled and said, "Xiao Gang, with your current identity and status. You would actually wait for someone, then Balaku is considered to be lucky for three lives, hehe......" Li Xiaogang smiled: "After all, this time we are going to ask for someone's help, so it's better to keep a low profile." Gao Liguo nodded and said, "Not bad!" That's how it should be! Bullying has never been our Chinese people's preference!

Lin Chaoran's brows furrowed, and he said, "Xiao Gang, PetroChina is now facing the same problem as you. If possible, I hope you can help them. PetroChina is different from you, it is a state-owned enterprise, and any action must go through a series of extremely complex procedures. Often when the process is completed, it is also when the plan goes bankrupt, and it is far less flexible than you come. ”

Listening to Lin Chaoran's words, Li Xiaogang put down the wine glass in his hand with some heaviness and was silent.

Li Xiaogang's expression couldn't help but make Lin Chaoran's heart tighten, and he asked, "What, is there a problem?" ”

Li Xiaogang took a deep breath and said faintly: "Grandpa Lin, I have already mentioned this issue to Ambassador Zhu Mingyan, and I still want to talk to you about it. Can you convince the chiefs and prime ministers to agree to our Longteng's acquisition of PetroChina's Iraqi branch? ”

"Huh? What did you say!? Lin Chaoran and Gao Liguo both looked at Li Xiaogang with surprised expressions.

Li Xiaogang's brows furrowed and said, "That branch of Huapetroleum is too close to our Longteng. The competition in the future will definitely be fierce, and this kind of competition with the same root will definitely be very cruel. I don't want that to happen, so I'd rather merge it now! ”

Lin Chaoran shook his head and said, "Xiao Gang, do you know that PetroChina's Yiguo Branch is a wedge set by Huaxia on the Middle East Peninsula. It not only expands our country's influence in the Middle East, but also secures our domestic oil needs.

As you know, 50 percent of our country's oil consumption is solved by imports, and with the sustained and high-speed growth of our country's economy, the consumption of oil will also increase greatly, which means that we only need to import 50 percent this year to solve the energy problem, and next year I may import 55 percent, or even more.

One day we will become a country that is completely dependent on energy imports like island countries, and without this branch, once someone cuts off our energy import routes, it will be equivalent to choking our throat, you know? ”

Li Xiaogang said: "I naturally understand this. But without Huafang Branch, there is still our Longteng! What's more, in my opinion, sooner or later, oil as an energy source will be withdrawn from the stage of history. The top priority for countries to solve the energy problem now is not to increase oil production, but to find new alternative energy sources. Therefore, the Huapetroleum branch may seem to have some meaning now, but ten years from now, twenty years from now. Maybe it's worthless. ”

After a pause, Li Xiaogang said leisurely: "Grandpa Lin, it is precisely because it is a subordinate enterprise of Huapetroleum and an enterprise of our Huaxia that I invite you to come forward."

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have made it where it is today! ”

Lin Chaoran sighed and said, "Xiao Gang, you really can't tolerate it?" ”

Li Xiaogang frowned, nodded and said, "Can't!" ”

Seeing the resoluteness on Li Xiaogang's face, Lin Chaoran knew that it was useless to say anything more, and said, "Okay! I made a note of it. But. You're going to give me a problem, and I can't promise you that I'll be able to convince the chief and the prime minister. ”

Li Xiaogang said with a smile: "The veteran is out, a top two!" As long as you come forward. It will definitely work! ”

Lin Chaoran smiled and said, "You kid, when did you learn to pat on the back?" Li Xiaogang said with a smile: "You are a veteran of our country's political arena, who will I shoot if I don't shoot your ass." ”

Lin Chaoran smiled and said, "Then what if I retire?" What if I don't have any power anymore? You're going to ignore me, a stupid old man? Li Xiaogang was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "Grandpa Lin, this is good, why do you want to say that?" Lin Chaoran smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Gang." Not my age. You don't understand what it means to be unforgiving.

I'm really old.

If it weren't for some time ago, you gave me a breath of true anger. I have been relieved of my years of ailment, and I am afraid that I am now in bed. Dying! People are self-aware, and since they know that they are old, they can't keep their seats, right? I've thought about it. Pick a suitable opportunity, talk to the chief and the prime minister, and I will retire.

Seeing Lin Chaoran's snow-white hair and beard, Li Xiaogang really couldn't bear to persuade the old man to continue the battle, and said according to his meaning, "That's right, you've worked hard all your life, and it's time to rest and rest."

Lin Chaoran pouted and said, "I'm going to retreat, but I'm not ready to rest." ”

Li Xiaogang and the others were stunned when they heard this, looked at Lin Chaoran in confusion and asked, "You don't rest, is it possible that there are still any great wishes that have not been fulfilled?" If that's the case, don't worry about it, leave it to me, and I'll take care of it for you. ”

Lin Chaoran smiled: "Don't say it, this matter is really going to be handed over to you!" ”

Li Xiaogang sighed and said, "Then you can talk about it!" ”

Lin Chaoran squinted at Gao Yuanyuan and said, "I've been busy for most of my life, and if I'm idle, I will definitely be exhausted." If you can tease your grandson around your knees, it will probably be much better. But I have no children and no daughters, and I am afraid that this wish of mine can only be fulfilled by you. Xiaogang, you have to come on! ”

Lin Chaoran's words made Gao Yuanyuan shy, and he couldn't help but glance at Lin Chaoran angrily and said, "Grandpa, you are old and not serious again!" Dislike! ”

Lin Chaoran laughed and said, "Getting married and having children is a social obligation that everyone should fulfill, what's wrong with this." Xiao Gang, let me make it clear for you. When you give birth to a son, I will retire. You can't let me die of exhaustion at work, can you? ”

Li Xiaogang smiled helplessly, and unconsciously set his eyes on Gao Yuanyuan, which made Gao Yuanyuan even more embarrassed, and his face flushed down, which caused Lin Chaoran to laugh again.

"Old man, you're not right. Isn't it that you want to rob my grandson with me? Then I won't say yes! Mrs. Gao put down the chopsticks and said with a smile.

Lin Chaoran looked at Mrs. Gao, pouted and said, "Look at you, you usually have a Lin Bo, the one you call affectionate." It's good now, but you don't recognize people? I love you so much, it's really blind to my hard work, hey! Why is my life crying like this? ”

Seeing Lin Chaoran's crying face with a long sigh, Mrs. Gao was a little unbearable, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you half of my grandson when the time comes, it's all right?" Lin Chaoran's face really smiled again, and he muttered: "This is like words!" ”

Looking at Lin Chaoran's smug smile, Li Xiaogang couldn't help but chuckle a few times, who would have thought that Lin Chaoran, who has always been strict and resolute, and so majestic that people dare not approach lightly, would have such a cute and childish side. After three rounds of wine, the dishes were full of five flavors, Lin Chaoran already had some intentions, and his body was straight up.

Seeing that he was almost there, Mrs. Gao said to him, "Old man, help you to sleep in the room for a while!" (To be continued.) (。 ))
