Chapter 149: The Finale

Previous Chapter

Zhao Yuemin returned triumphantly with a $2 billion loan from Mitsubishi Bank.

The Tarim Oilfield held a grand commendation meeting. Hearing that Zhao Yuemin was received by the Japanese emperor, the members of the original PetroChina leading group were envious. However, it can only be blamed that no one was willing to take this hot potato in the first place. No matter how optimistic he is, he also thinks that Zhao Yuemin can borrow back one or two hundred million at most, but he didn't expect Zhao Yuemin to be able to successfully complete the task.

When Wu Xinliang heard about the entire loan process, he sighed that even if he went out on his own, he might not be able to achieve such good results.

Zhao Yuemin brought $2 billion to PetroChina. The board of directors of PetroChina unanimously approved the dismantling of US$100 million to Shenzhen-based Huaxing Industrial for investment.

In the 80s, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the renminbi was about 1:2. The loan of 100 million US dollars is more than four times the amount of the last loan from the Bank of China.

In the Tarim Oilfield, there is news that the oilfield will carry out in-depth cooperation with Huaxing Industry.

At the same time, the gossip about Zhao Yuemin to be promoted to the top of the PetroChina system is also endless. Zhao Yuemin borrowed so many loans for Tarim, and everyone thought that he was a meritorious man of Tarim.

Inside the office of the Tarim Oilfield Base.

Wu Xinliang smoked a cigarette and kept wiping the hot sweat on his face with his hands.

Obviously, there was an unusual shock on his face at this time.

"Yuemin, do you think that the loan reward from the oil field is too small for you this time?" Wu Xinliang shook the cigarette in his hand.

"Of course not." Zhao Yuemin shook his head and smiled, "Secretary Wu, this time we were able to borrow 100 million US dollars with PetroChina as a guarantee, which is really lucky." With this 100 million funds, we have made a variety of planning ......"

"Then why did you refuse to continue to serve as the deputy general manager of the Western Exploration Company?" Wu Xinliang asked.

"Secretary Wu, my contract with Xikan Company has expired."

"Can I renew my contract when it expires?" Wu Xinliang said, "Your performance in Tarim this year is obvious to all. The leadership, too, appreciates you. As long as I say a word......"

Zhao Yuemin just smiled and didn't speak.

Wu Xinliang sighed, pinched the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said, "You still decided?" ”

"Yes, Secretary Wu." Zhao Yuemin clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "Secretary Wu, for so many years, I am very grateful for your cultivation of me. Without you, there would be no me, Zhao Yuemin, today. However, as I said before, I hope to be able to leave the system as soon as possible and start my own business. When I was the director of the oilfield machine repair plant, I had this idea, and later when I came to Shenzhen, this feeling became even stronger. Now, I've been working in Tarim for a year......"

Zhao Yuemin walked to the window and looked out of the window, showing a sense of vicissitudes on his face.

"Secretary Wu, I am a witness in Tarim, and I am also looking at this oil field, starting from scratch. The feelings for Tarim are as deep as the feelings for the Jiangbei Oilfield. Zhao Yuemin said affectionately, "The desert ...... Yellow sand, everything, has the footprints of my struggle. I cherish all the work experience here and enjoy working here. However, Secretary Wu, I am almost thirty years old, and I hope to be able to fulfill my dream. ”

"Your dreams? So far, you've achieved so much, haven't you achieved your dreams yet? To be honest, I envy you a little. At your age, I was still an ordinary section-level cadre. Wu Xinliang asked.

Zhao Yuemin raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes showed a heroic light, and he responded: "Far from it, I hope to be able to go out of China, to the Middle East oil fields, to South America, to Russia, to carry forward the oil industry, and build an oil empire across the Eurasian continent!" ”

Wu Xinliang held the armrest tightly with both hands and took a long breath.

Having experienced the wind and waves, he was still shocked by the young man's plan.

In this era, although there is the impact of reforming the market economy, most young people are still very comfortable. The remnants of state-owned factories are still there, and private enterprises are just budding, and it is still the plan and desire of most young people to be able to live out their old age in state-owned factories.

Zhao Yuemin, on the other hand, has begun to make plans for global layout.

At this time, he was only 28 years old.

"Okay, Yuemin." Wu Xinliang stood up and understood that for Zhao Yuemin, who had lofty ambitions, the person in charge of Ququ Xikan Company really couldn't frame Zhao Yuemin.

Wu Xinliang stood up, his eyes full of appreciation, and said: "Mencius said that within five hundred years, there will be a king Zhongxing. I would also like to see a sharp dark horse emerge in the world's oil sector. Since the Opium War, China has been in a situation of backwardness and being beaten. Now reform and opening up have just taken off. Yuemin, we are a big country, and we are holding back our strength to prove ourselves. If you can be used as a pioneer to go to the Middle East to stir up the world, it can also give us old people some experience to learn from. PetroChina also has several plans to invest in foreign oil and gas fields......"

"Secretary Wu, are you counting on me to be cannon fodder?" Zhao Yuemin said with a smile.

"How can you be cannon fodder for someone as smart?" Wu Xinliang shook Zhao Yuemin's hand vigorously, "In the future, if you become an oil tycoon in the Middle East, don't forget to come back and see my ......."

"Definitely, definitely, I would like to ask you for your auspicious words."

The parting time is extremely long.

Knowing that Zhao Yuemin was leaving, all the employees of Jiangbei Oilfield and Tarim Oilfield came to condole.

At this time, Zhao Yuemin officially resigned from the position of deputy general manager of the Tarim Oilfield West Exploration Company, and also resigned from the post of director of the Jiangbei Oilfield Machinery Repair Plant. At the same time, Red Star Industrial applied to the industrial and commercial office to officially change from a collective enterprise to a private enterprise and received a license.

A month later, the conference hall of Red Star Industry was filled with more than 100 people.

Zhao Yuemin slowly walked onto the podium, first looked at his wife Su Hong, Hu Dong, and sister Hu Lin on the left, and then looked at Liu Guoguang, Ge Jianxiong and others who started a business with him on the right.

Looking at everyone's eyes of trust in him, Zhao Yuemin felt very warm. These people in the conference hall are his closest relatives, and they are also the backbone of the two enterprises of Red Star and Huaxing.

"Comrades......" Zhao Yuemin held the podium with his hand, and said in a slightly excited voice, "Eight years ago, I just entered the Jiangbei Oilfield as a driller, and eight years later, Hu Dong and I have created two companies, and we also have so many employees who are like relatives. Now, we are moving towards new goals together......"

"Back then, I remember that when I first joined the company, Qi Ju read two lines of Chairman Mao's poems at the swearing-in meeting, which were intended to encourage us to participate in the battle. Now, I would like to give this poem to all of you who have traveled with me to the Middle East to exonerate your career. ”

The sun shines through the glass of the conference hall and shines on Zhao Yuemin's body.

"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning!" Zhao Yuemin smiled slightly, "Everyone, let's see you in Abu Dhabi!" ”
