"International oil giants?" Zhao Yuemin took a breath, thinking that this was not good.

"Yes, as early as 77, after the No. 1 well in the Tarim Basin erupted, the foreign media reported it before the domestic media. The Sankei Shimbun was the first foreign media to speak out. Su Guoliang said.

Since 1985, the ****** has decided to further open up, and foreign capital can also be used for technical cooperation in the Tarim Basin. Introduce technical personnel, introduce equipment, and hire foreign capital and professional team members. Therefore, when I heard that the Tarim oil field was being held, oil companies from all over the world flocked to it.

Zhao Yuemin thought to himself, won't you come to participate in that day oil?

Thinking of Fujii's face, he didn't have much appetite to eat.

The battle conference is about to be held, and Zhao Yuemin decided to find out first.

He got out of the car, walked into the streets of Kashgar, walked into a restaurant, and happened to meet the group of foreign managers.

“Hello？” Zhao Yuemin greeted in English.

"Hello, my friend." A tall American, waving his sweaty hand, replied in half-baked Chinese. He stood up and handed Zhao Yuemin a business card, "I'm Mike, senior vice president of Exxon in the United States. ”

Zhao Yuemin took the business card, thinking that Exxon was also here, and this battle was estimated to be very lively. Exxon, the first trust organization in the United States and one of the largest oil companies in the world, is affiliated with the Rockefeller consortium.

"Excuse me, are you ......" Mike asked politely

"I may be a local here." Zhao Yuemin joked.

"No, it won't. You're dressed, not a local. Mike smiled smartly and said, "It's not a big city either, you must have come from the oil fields of other provinces, and you are also our competitor." ”

"Very smart." Zhao Yuemin smiled and handed over his business card.

"I'll give you a beer." Mike said generously.

Zhao Yuemin sat in the middle of a group of foreigners. He looked at these chattering and laughing foreigners, talking about the distribution of oil and gas in the Tarim Basin, as if he had already pocketed the right to develop this oil field.

Zhao Yuemin listened to English with various accents, and seemed to have a feeling that the Eight-Nation Coalition had carved up China back then.

He couldn't help but say: "Mr. Mack, at present, PetroChina's policy on foreign cooperation has not yet been decided. Isn't it a little early for you to discuss this first? ”

Mike was talking and laughing with others, and when he heard Zhao Yuemin's words, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, do you think that we foreigners are all making a fool of ourselves?" Actually, it's you who don't understand the situation. As early as 80 years ago, we at Exxon were invited by the Ministry of Petroleum to implement oil and gas diversion for an inclined well. In 85, our company was invited to send an expedition to Tarim to explore from the north and south of the basin. High-yield oil flows were drilled in the Kunlun Mountains and Tianshan Mountains. ”

Mike proudly reported this series of data to Zhao Yuemin, which surprised Zhao Yuemin.

This yellow-haired American is more familiar with the oil fields in western Xinjiang than he is.

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, thought of a question, and asked, "Mike, this time, did Nippon Oil attend the meeting?" ”

Mike shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't seem to see them." ”

"Alright, Mr. Mack, then we'll see you tomorrow at the Battle Conference." Zhao Yuemin said.

Mike held the wine glass and looked at Zhao Yuemin's distant figure, the expression on his face was a little complicated. He sniffed, drank the wine in his glass, and slowly walked out of the restaurant.

The streets of Kashgar are a little hot during the day. Mike took off his leather jacket, put it in his hand, and slowly approached the hotel where he was staying.

He didn't go straight into the room, but walked to a corner of the hall and sat down next to a man with an Asian face.

"You're so punctual." Mike sat down, crossing Erlang's legs.

"We Japanese have always been punctual." Fujii Shimizu said with a smile.

"This time China's Tarim oil field will be battled, why don't you JPC come forward to fight for technical cooperation?" Mike said.

"If Zhao Yuemin is here, it will be difficult for us to obtain the right to cooperate." Fujii Shimizu took a sip of coffee and squinted at Mike again: "However, it's the same with your Exxon Oil." Our two companies, which hold shares in each other, can be regarded as a community. If you get the right to cooperate in development, I believe that we at PetroChina will also have a chance to get a piece of the pie. ”

"That's natural, we at Exxon have also cooperated with the Chinese government a few times. In '82, we sold three sets of digital exploration equipment and a computer processing system to the Ministry of Petroleum of China. Mike tapped his fingers on the tabletop, "I just met Zhao Yuemin at the restaurant......"

"Oh?" Fujii raised his eyebrows, "That's really a coincidence." His face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This Zhao Yuemin caused me to lose my position as president of China, and now I can only hold an idle position in Tokyo." ”

"I didn't expect you to have such a grudge." Mike shrugged, "So that's why you've come so far?" ”

"No, Mike. Business is business. My boss has already spoken to your boss. If I can help you win the right to cooperate in development this time, I will have the possibility of returning to the position of president of the company's China region. Fujii rubbed his hands together and said, "Therefore, I will do my best to assist you." As you know, I've been in China for many years and know China very well, especially the Jiangbei oil fields...... They are your most formidable competitors......"

"Why? Just because of that extraordinarily smart Zhao Yuemin? Mike spread his hands out, puzzled.

Fujii wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "As the old Chinese saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find." Zhao Yuemin is a good hand in scientific research and development and enterprise management. He did not have any education, and when he entered the Jiangbei Oilfield, he was just an ordinary driller at first. However, he became the captain of the drilling team in only half a year, and became the director of the machine repair plant in one year. This small factory with huge losses turned into a profit. The rest of the matter, I believe you also understand. Today's Zhao Yuemin ...... "Fujii said unwillingly, "In the Jiangbei Oilfield, it has reached the point where it covers the sky with one hand......"

"I see." Mike interrupted, "However, this alone is not enough to make Jiangbei Oilfield our strongest opponent. After all, it's not that big. As far as I know, there are also Shengli Oilfields in Daqing Oilfield, and their scale and strength are far beyond those of Jiangbei Oilfield......"

"You're right. If the Daqing Oilfield and the Shengli Oilfield are desperately trying to compete with you for development rights. Under the Chinese society, it is difficult for you Exxon oil to obtain development rights. Speaking of this, Fujii smiled strangely, "But, as far as I know, this time, they won't ...... desperately"
