Tarim Base Command.

"Yuemin, here, sit, sit." Jin Guoyun, deputy general manager of PetroChina, said with a smile.

"Mr. Jin......" Zhao Yuemin put two cigarettes on the other party's table.

"Come, sit, sit." Jin Guoyun waved his hand and said, "Xiao Zhao, how are you resting these days?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Yuemin put his hands on his lap in a regular manner, pondering in his heart Jin Guoyun's intention to find him.

"Relax, relax." Jin Guoyun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhao, you were ordered to reassess and plan the Tarim gasoline reservoir before, which is really outstanding. We also made a report to the leaders of the central government, and the central government agreed to the delay in submitting the answer sheet. ”

"You are really a talent, would you like to work in PetroChina?" Jin Guoyun patted Zhao Yuemin on the shoulder.

Zhao Yuemin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Thank you for your promotion." However, I have already told Secretary Wu before that I actually want to start a business in the sea. The deputy general manager of Xikan Company, as soon as the contract ends, will leave and return to Red Star Industry. To tell the truth, Red Star Industry, the hat of a large collective enterprise, can be attacked, retreated and defended, and is very free. ”

"Well, but if you come to PetroChina, there will definitely be a lot of development."

"Mr. Jin, thank you for your kindness. But I'm a little lazy, and I'm quite comfortable on my own one-third of an acre, and if I go to PetroChina, I'm afraid I won't be so comfortable. ”

"Yes, yes, Xiao Zhao, you are very honest." Jin Guoyun said with a smile, "Throughout the ages, capable people and strangers have been willing to retreat to the mountains and forests rather than ask about the world. However, we laymen still need your help in going out of the mountain......"

"Mr. Jin, you and Secretary Wu take good care of me. You say, as long as I Zhao Yuemin can help somewhere......"

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth...... Jin Guoyun sighed and said, "At present, all the exploitation of the Tarim Oilfield is carried out in accordance with the steps, but there is a serious shortage of exhibition funds......

"Lack of funds for the battle?" Zhao Yuemin looked incredulous and said, "Our Tarim Oilfield...... Still short of money? ”

"Look at what you said, now that the reform and opening up, where is there no need to use money?" Jin Guoyun pointed to the right way, "Even in the Shenchuan Special Economic Zone, which is so prosperous, building buildings and bridges, and the funds are flowing out, people ******** have to go to Beijing several times a year to raise money." Our Tarim Oilfield is the same......"

In 1988, with the advancement of the reform of the national economic system, the management system of the petroleum industry underwent major changes. At present, the Ministry of Energy has been abolished, and the government functions of the former Ministry of Petroleum have been transferred to the Ministry of Energy, and the China National Petroleum Corporation, that is, PetroChina, has been established on the basis of the former Ministry of Petroleum Industry.

From a government department to a state-owned enterprise, the source of funds has changed greatly. In addition to ensuring the production demand and exploration expenses of the eastern oilfield, it is difficult for PetroChina to ensure the large demand for exploration funds in Tarim.

Tarim exploration, building airports for a while, and building roads for a while, are all big moves. PetroChina is not alone in the Tarim Oilfield. If all the funds are used to support Tarim, there will be a psychological imbalance in other oil fields.

"It's hard for us too......" Jin Guoyun stood up, his face covered with sorrow, "The country and the government have no money for the time being, and the head office is facing a policy loss." At present, the price of oil is still in a two-track system, with both planned and unplanned prices coexisting. ”

Zhao Yuemin sat in an orderly manner, he leaned on the hot radiator, and listened to Jin Guoyun pouring bitter water.

Inside the ashtray, the cigarette butts are already a thick pile.

Jin Guoyun's eyebrows were twisted together, and he said worriedly: "You also know that there is an oil crisis in the West now, and the proportion of our oil fields relying on state funding is getting smaller and smaller. The difficulty of developing old oil fields is gradually increasing, prices are rising, and the cost of oil and gas is increasing year by year, and we are now implementing the low oil price policy for a long time in China, and the oil and gas price is only equivalent to 47% of the international ......"

"I said, Mr. Jin, don't complain...... Zhao Yuemin interrupted, "What can I do for you?" ”

Although Zhao Yuemin made various predictions, Jin Guoyun's request still surprised him.

"I hope you can represent PetroChina and borrow from the bank......"

|“ I......? Zhao Yuemin pointed at himself, and his tone changed, "Mr. Jin, you're not kidding......

"What's a joke?" Jin Guoyun shook his head.

"But...... My previous 40 million funds were all entrusted to Secretary Wu to borrow from the Bank of China...... Why is it the other way around now...... You PetroChina, take out a loan from the Bank of China, people won't give you face, right......?"

"How much to borrow? Million? Jin Guoyun's face showed a ridiculous look, "Forty million, it will be able to save you a Red Star Industry." If you want the Tarim oil field to operate, you need at least this number......" Jin Guoyun stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred million?"

"Two billion!" Jin Guoyun stood up, held Zhao Yuemin's hands and said, "Yuemin, Secretary Wu is now far away in the Sudan oil field and is not in the country for the time being. However, he instructed me that this task must be entrusted to you, which is to borrow money from foreign banks! ”

"Borrowing from foreign banks?"

"Yes, we have contacted several foreign investment institutions that are interested in this and have a meeting in Hong Kong. Yuemin, you have participated in the Canton Fair and are familiar with the operation of foreign companies, I believe you will be competent. ”

Hong Kong.

Zhao Yuemin pulled his suitcase, slowly walked out of the airport, and beckoned a yellow taxi.

The Hong Kong driver, with his yellow teeth, was listening to the message of betting on the radio of a taxi.

Noisy Cantonese came from his ears, and Zhao Yuemin showed a sleepy look on his face, leaning against the car window and thinking about his thoughts. Jin Guoyun promised him if the loan was successful. PetroChina will assign a low-production oil well and waste oil well to Red Star Industrial for contracting. PetroChina's low-production oil wells, if contracted, will be a lot of money. However, Zhao Yuemin knows that this oil well is not so easy to take.

The meeting will be held at the Peninsula Hotel.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Zhao Yuemin walked into the conference room.

Several foreigners in suits and leather shoes got up from the sofa one after another and shook hands with Zhao Yuemin one by one.

"Hello, I'm Richard, the representative of HSBC in the UK......"

"I'm a representative of the National Bank of Spain......"

"I am a representative of the Government of Finland......"

Several tall Europeans greeted each other.

These are all partners who have worked with PetroChina on loans. Since the 80s, with the approval of the ******, the oil industry has been allowed to introduce foreign capital in a variety of ways to make up for the gap in industrial funds.

These Europeans, all over half a hundred years old, with fluttering silver hair, can be seen to be some superior elite class. On weekdays, luxury cars are delivered, and they own a single-family mansion and like to go to the Mediterranean for vacation.

"Hello, I'm Yukimura Tanaka, the representative of Mitsubishi Bank ......of Japan," a Japanese with thin curly hair nodded at Zhao Yuemin.

Zhao Yuemin looked at the Japanese and seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come, and on behalf of PetroChina, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you."

Everyone was seated, Zhao Yuemin sat on the soft sofa, and thought to himself, next, it is the question of how to get money from these people's pockets.
