There is art in the leader's speech. Most leaders will open their mouths when they speak for an hour, but it will be difficult to refine it to five minutes.

In the face of the barracks construction of Fengyuan Life Service Company, Zhao Yuemin consciously spoke quite concisely.

At night, the desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

Facing the desolate desert, everyone sat around the bonfire and sat on the ground.

Zhao Yuemin stretched out his hands and felt the heat of the bonfire.

Azgul, who was next to him, handed him a cup of hot coffee at the right time.

Liu Guoguang looked at the thick-eyed Azgul, took good care of Zhao Yuemin, and sighed: "Oh, some people, no matter where they are, there are people to serve." Miss Azgul, pour me a glass too. ”

Azgul glanced at Liu Guoguang and said, "You are my manager, I will pour ...... for you."

Liu Guoguang said to himself: "Zhao Yuemin is a girl killer, I think, it's not just a matter of whether the manager is a manager or not." ”

Xiao Dekai held Liu Guoguang's shoulders and said with a smile: "The girl in Western Xinjiang is beautiful and enthusiastic. Kunimitsu, you can't make mistakes. I'm here this time, but I'm watching you for your daughter-in-law Dong Liu. ”

The crowd laughed.

The workers of the Fengyuan Company in the distance sat in a bunch, talking and laughing, and from time to time there were singing voices reaching Zhao Yuemin's ears.

"It is the wind of the valley that blows our red flag."

"It was the violent rain that washed our tents."

"We had a flaming enthusiasm that overcame all fatigue and cold......"

The workers sang loudly, and the baritone voice was strong and vigorous, which had a unique charm in this vast desert.

"This song has a good melody, what song is it?" Zhao Yuemin tilted his head and asked.

Nigmaiti, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "This is called "Song of the Exploration Team", which was created by the first batch of geological team members when we were stationed in the hinterland of the desert in the 50s. The song is so catchy that it has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

In the 50s, China's petroleum geologists mainly relied on camels to enter the desert hinterland. In March 1958, an exploration team of 120 young team members and 320 camels marched to the Taklamakan Desert. This "Song of the Exploration Team" is accompanied by the sound of camel bells, floating in the sea of sand.

"Camels? This is the tool used by our predecessors to enter the desert......" Zhao Yuemin sighed, "It's really not easy." ”

"Yes, Manager Zhao." Nigmat hugged his knees and said, "My father was once the first geological team member. At that time, they took their camels into the desert. Each camel carries more than 100 catties of water, grain, feed and exploration equipment. When climbing the sand mountain, the camel fell down as soon as it stumbled, and the team members pulled forward and pushed back, helped the camel up and continued to move forward. ”

"Did your father ever be in a dangerous situation?" Zhao Yuemin asked.

"I've met ......," said Nigmaiti, "and in the desert, sometimes when you encounter a very large black storm, you can't see your fingers. The whole team was suffocated and frightened. Sometimes, in order to protect the equipment and data, the camels had to lie down, and the exploration team members only wrapped the equipment with their clothes. My father told me that when the wind and sand stopped, all the toiletries and rice bowls were gone, and the ears and noses were full of sand. ”

"The most difficult thing in this Tarim Desert is the transportation problem." An old worker next to him recalled, "Even camels can hardly endure the extreme lack of water, and when you go to Taklamakan you usually have dozens of camels falling in the desert and never getting up again." When the old worker said this, his eyes were also red, "People's hearts are full of flesh." We spend time with camels and treat them as our relatives. Seeing the camel lying in the desert, many of the team members were crying at that time......"

Everyone heard the experience of the exploration team members thirty years ago, and they all sighed.

Zhao Yuemin took a sip of coffee in the aluminum pot, and said with hot air in his mouth: "Comrade Nigmaiti's words reminded me. Thirty years ago, due to the backwardness of our equipment, the exploration team members suffered so much. ”

He looked at the Milky Way in the sky and sighed: "In half a month, the exploration team will be stationed in the desert, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past." Nowadays, it is no longer possible to go into the desert and rely on camels. We need to rely on modern means of transport. Dekai, we now have a ...... of transport vehicles in the West Exploration Company."

Xiao Dekai was biting the mutton skewer with his teeth, and when he heard that he was called himself, he hurriedly swallowed the mutton skewer and accidentally scalded it.

"He a home-cooked meal from east to west, north and south...... Scald grandpa to death, me......" Xiao Dekai said loudly.

"What grandpa?" Zhao Yuemin squeezed the other party and said, "Who are you taking advantage of?" Hurry up and talk about the current configuration of the company's transport vehicles......"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Dekai flipped through the information and said by the light of the fire, "At present, the Xikan Company has four off-road jeeps, one Hongqi car, and two freight trucks,......" he said and looked up at Zhao Yuemin.

"Gone?" Zhao Yuemin asked.

"No ......," Xiao Dekai spread his hands.

"How can this support our 800-strong exploration team in the desert?" Zhao Yuemin sighed, "Not to mention the thousands of drilling teams after that." And at present, several of the company's BAIC off-road vehicles are all old guys in the fifties, and the oil leakage is still slow, and they must all be updated! ”

The next day, Zhao Yuemin drove out of the desert and rushed to Wushi to seek financial support.

The company is currently fully responsible for the exploration and drilling of the Tarim Oilfield in the early stage. For PetroChina, the West Exploration Company is also a Party B, with more errand officers and fewer independent rights.

For the purchase of transport vehicles, the Western Exploration Company is only the agent, and the funds still need the support of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.

Meng Lingtao, general manager of the West Exploration Company and director of the West Xinjiang Petroleum Administration, sat behind the desk and listened to Zhao Yuemin's proposal.

"Comrade Yuemin. Don't be in a hurry. Meng Lingtao said, "The transport vehicle, PetroChina, has also made budget considerations. After all, there are only a few hundred people in the early stage of exploration, and it is impossible to let everyone ride a camel into the desert again. ”

"Meng Bureau, how much money has the company prepared to purchase vehicles?"

"About two million dollars." Meng Lingtao responded, "We are preparing to purchase a batch of Soviet-style Volga off-road vehicles, and we are also negotiating with Romanian off-road vehicle companies." ”

When Zhao Yuemin heard this, he shook his head and said: "Meng Bureau, the Taklamakan Desert is the largest desert in China, and the terrain is also quite treacherous. If I don't have a good vehicle configuration, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble. Especially the Wind Park office. They finally agreed to provide us with more desert logistics support services, we don't have the right vehicle to ensure people's safety, if something goes wrong......"

Meng Lingtao took a deep breath and said, "Yuemin, you can't trust the automobile manufacturing process of the Soviet Union and Romania? ”

Zhao Yuemin looked at Meng Lingtao and said word by word, "Meng Ju, in the face of the Taklamakan Desert, I just want the best off-road vehicle on the market." ”

"What car?"

"American Humvee."
