The winning bid for the Tarim Oilfield Project lifted Zhao Yuemin's spirits. This is more important than how many national patents are submitted, or how many overseas orders are obtained.

Being able to cooperate with PetroChina to develop oil fields, even if he is only responsible for drilling projects, has already left other private or collective enterprises in the dust.

Commercial interests, naturally, will not be less, and there will be political glory that comes with it.

PetroChina's most trusted large collective enterprise fights side by side in the desert with oil workers in the Xijiang oil fields.

Zhao Yuemin has been crowned with the title of a red-top businessman.

In 1988, Nian Guangjiu was still in prison, Wang Shi had just gone to sea, and Liu Chuanzhi was preparing to establish Hong Kong Lenovo with 300,000 US dollars. These entrepreneurs, who were powerful in the 90s and the new century, were just in the beginning of their careers in the 80s.

After a short celebration, everything was back on track.

Red Star Industry and PetroChina jointly invested to establish Northwest Exploration Co., Ltd.

Zhao Yuemin immediately rushed back to the Jiangbei Oilfield for a meeting, and among the four drilling teams in the oilfield, workers with more than five years of drilling experience and experience in deep wells of more than 5,000 meters were selected to form a drilling team to participate in the exploration of the Tarim Oilfield.

The People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency reported the news of Red Star Industrial's winning bid. In any case, this tender is significant. For the first time, the operation mode of "oil company" was applied.

At the same time, the Northwest Exploration Company implemented a single project management for the first pre-exploration well. As Party A and Party B of PetroChina and Red Star Industrial, the contract daily fee system is implemented.

The newly established Northwest Exploration Company, Meng Lingtao of the West Xinjiang Petroleum Administration Bureau served as the general manager, and Zhao Yuemin served as the deputy general manager. The West Xinjiang Administration Bureau and Red Star Industry have each dispatched some technical experts to fill the new drilling team.

The headquarters of the company is located in the city of Kuler. This county-level city with a population of less than 200,000 is located on the northeastern edge of the Tarim Basin, with the Kuluk and Hora Mountains, the tributaries of the Tianshan Mountains in the north, and only 70 kilometers away from the Taklamakan Desert, the second largest desert in the world, the "Sea of Death," in the south.

The efficiency of the western survey company was very fast, and the address of the headquarters was quickly selected and ground was broken. The office staff of the Xikan Company temporarily moved to the office of the Kushi Municipal Government for a temporary transition.

As the general manager, Meng Lingtao is also responsible for the management of many oil fields in western Xinjiang, and most of the time, he is not in Kuler. Zhao Yuemin, on the other hand, took on more of the management tasks of the West Exploration Company.

In order to better communicate with local employees, the company assigned Zhao Yuemin a secretary and Uyghur interpreter.

The new female secretary is called Azgul, a native of Kuler, with a high nose and blue eyes, and has the delicate facial features and exotic style of a Central Asian half-breed. Graduated from Xijiang Petroleum Institute, he has worked in the Xijiang Administration for many years, and is also familiar with the local business.

"Manager Zhao, if you need anything, just tell me." Azgul held the document in his hand and said competently.

Azguli has the boldness of a girl from Western Xinjiang, which makes Zhao Yuemin feel that it is very convenient to communicate.

"I'm new to the school, and I don't have any specific ideas. At present, we are waiting for the headquarters to be completed as soon as possible, so that we office workers can have a more spacious space. Zhao Yuemin said with a smile.

"Actually...... Azgul held the document and stood on tiptoe slightly, "The city of Kuler is actually not very suitable for living. There are stone mountains on three sides. To the south, there is still a desert, and it is still very close to the famous "Lop Nur". The wind and sand are strong, and the annual rainfall is pitiful. Water supply for the city. Almost by groundwater. ”

"Well, I saw what you said when I came. The streets are indeed drier and have very little greenery. The young girls in the city are very beautiful, but it is a pity that their skin is exposed to the wind and sand all day long. ”

Azgul showed a strange smile: "Mr. Zhao, you just stared at our Kurel girl......

Azgul's cold words made Zhao Yuemin a little embarrassed.

"I haven't seen anything in the world......," Zhao Yuemin laughed at himself.

"You haven't seen the world yet, have you?" Azgul's beautiful eyes looked at Zhao Yuemin, "You are a famous red-capped businessman." ”

Zhao Yuemin is still embarrassed, he won't pretend to continue to ask if this is really the case. He diverted the topic and said: "Hundreds of employees of our Western Exploration Company are stationed in Kuler. In my opinion, it is still necessary to have a good relationship with the local government. We still recommend planting more greenery to make the streets greener. If there is a large area of green forest in the city of Kuler, it will also help with rainfall. ”

"Then I will thank you on behalf of the people of Kulel." Azgul smiled playfully, "On behalf of the people of Kuler, I will invite you to a meal." ”

At night in Western Xinjiang, the sunset is very late, about eight or nine o'clock, and the sun sets.

The sunset in Kuller is magical, pink, orange, yellow and green, very beautiful.

Zhao Yuemin and Azgul sat in the restaurant.

Typical of the Yislanish decoration style, the walls and ornaments are mostly decorated with geometric shapes or large areas of plant patterns, and are decorated with verses from the Qur'an.

The dining table is located next to the window, and the gold and silk curtains are very eye-catching. Naan cakes, lamb skewers, and yogurt are all served on the table, and the aroma is attractive.

"Wait a minute, I'll look at the drilling data again, there may be a small problem here." Zhao Yuemin stared at the document with his eyes.

Azgul poured yogurt for Zhao Yuemin and said with a smile: "Manager Zhao, it's time to get off work, you have to learn to combine work and rest." Let me give you an allusion. Do you know Journey to the West? ”

"Of course I do." Zhao Yuemin's gaze moved away from the document, looked at Azgul and smiled.

"But the sand monk who carried the burden to Tang Seng in Journey to the West is said to be our Kuler. His real name is Shawuti, a Uyghur, and after taking refuge in Buddhism, he is also known as Sha Seng and Sha Monk. ”

"Oh, that's a lot of fun." Zhao Yuemin said with a smile.

At this time, melodious string music sounded in the dining room.

On the center stage of the dining room, two Uighur girls are dancing.

Azgul put down the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly ran to the center stage, exchanged something with a girl, and the two left in a hurry together.

Just when Zhao Yuemin was confused, the newly dressed Azgul slowly took the stage. Wearing a gold-rimmed embroidered hat and a pink silk skirt, he looks like a person in a painting.

As the music sounded, Azgul danced gracefully, raising her eyebrows, shaking her head and moving her neck, clapping her hands and flicking her fingers, dancing with great charm.

Several tables of diners were fascinated by the dance of Azgul.

Zhao Yuemin didn't expect that his secretary would have such a hand.

The sunset came in through the magnificent glass, Zhao Yuemin drank milk tea, watched Azgul dance, and couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of life.
