Chen Mo chose a blue casual tie with flowers, and in order to tie a double cross knot, he had been pondering for ten minutes and had not tied it. Usually most of his ties are tied by Li Shan, who is obsessed with fashion and petty bourgeoisie, she is very proficient in this aspect and can give him seven or eight different bow ties. And he will only have ordinary flat knots and cross knots, which is nothing at work on weekdays, just going to a drinking party, which seems a little too ordinary.

When he came back, Li Shan specially told him to wear this light blue wide-necked shirt, with a light gray sweater he had just brought back from Norway, and this navy blue tie. That's not all, she also strictly demanded that she wear that royal blue casual suit, a pair of thin-legged pants, and those pointed shoes.

This kind of business reception should not be dressed as seriously as usual, nor should it be too pompous and frivolous. Li Shan's outfit for Chen Mo is very suitable for this kind of occasion. Chen Mo still agrees with her aesthetic views, and she has always been very appreciated by her friends under her dress.

But I usually see her tie for herself, shuttling skillfully, and she wears the tie in less than half a minute, but she is clumsy and can't do it well for half a day. But today I was going to attend a drinking party, and she didn't come back with her, and now there is no way. After tossing for a long time, Chen Mo still called her, and according to what she said on the phone, he finally tied the double cross knot.

Kang Xuedong couldn't help but laugh when he saw him. "It seems that Li Shan has cultivated your taste now, this body is good, very energetic."

The old man also smiled: "Xiao Mo is following his mother's ...... Our Chen family generally has a thin face, looking more than delicate, but not majestic enough, and it is not until the age of thirty that it looks stable. He synthesized the advantages of our two families, and when he became serious, he was still a bit official. ”

Kang Xuedong looked at him and deliberately hit him and said: "What's the matter, I'm only 23 years old, I look like I'm 32 years old, and I don't have the vitality of a young person at all." ”

The old man didn't follow and fought back: "You're jealous, aren't you?!" You have a scholarly face, but you also suffered a lot when you were young, and all the leaders said that you looked too small, and they were afraid that you would not be able to control the scene. ”

Kang Xuedong smiled and didn't refute it, he said this on purpose, and he deliberately made the old man happy. Chen Mo said: "Grandpa, then let's go ......"

"Go ahead...... See more and talk less, not humble or arrogant, and be polite. ”

"Got it." followed Kang Xuedong out of the door, his second uncle was burning asphalt, and a freshly killed goose was placed next to him, ready to come and dip goose feathers. They specially bought a big goose and came back, saying that it was to comfort the old man, but the old man couldn't eat much now, and most of it still went into Chen Mo's mouth.

"Second uncle, it's officially heated today, grandpa's radiator in his bedroom is a little leaky, I don't know if it's repaired today, you pay attention to it at night."

"I know, don't worry about it. Xuedong...... You're out of luck today! ”

Kang Xuedong didn't put up any shelf in front of him, and said with a smile: "Remember to leave me a copy!" You also know that on this occasion, it's good not to be hungry, and if you don't pad your stomach when you come back, you can't sleep if you're hungry. ”

"And my ......" Chen Mo walked down the steps in front of the shadow wall, entered the garage, and started the Audi. This car is 200,000 yuan more expensive, but it is more atmospheric than the Golf, and even the seats are much more comfortable.

After a while, Kang Xuedong also walked over, directly opened the door of the passenger seat, and got into the car. He reached out and twisted the button of the air conditioner, "Turn the air conditioner on a little lower, it's stuffy." ”

"Godfather, where are you going?"

"Kempinski."

Chen Mo started the car, Kempinski is in Lufthansa, not far from here, if there is no traffic jam, it can be reached in ten minutes. Today is Saturday, there is no rush hour, but this time is the time for eating, and the traffic pressure will not be too small.

"Why do you have a drinking party on a Saturday? Is there anything special about it? ”

Kang Xuedong said with a smile: "In fact, the real cocktail party was held yesterday, and today is just a reception specially organized by Schlumberger for the senior management of major customer companies." ”

During this time, Schlumberger has been promoting their new hydraulic fracturing technology in major oil producing companies, which can improve the oil yield of the oil layer, but because the environmental protection evaluation has not yet passed, the world's major oil producing countries still have reservations about this technology.

Domestic oilfields are more sought after for this technology, because it can greatly improve the oil yield of oil wells, and some previously poor oil wells, or even abandoned wells, can be rejuvenated through this technology.

Kang Xuedong has always taught Chen Mo by word and deed, and he never tires of it. Along the way, I honestly analyzed the relationship between an oilfield service company like Schlumberger and a company like CNPC.

Schlumberger is the world's largest oilfield service provider and has been a partner of CNPC and Petronas, as well as CNOOC, having entered the domestic market in the early eighties and now for nearly two decades. Although after the separation of PetroChina and Petronas, they are more closely involved in the business of Petronas, which is mainly responsible for oil exploitation, because the production and operation of PetroChina are mainly concentrated in the downstream links, and the upstream exploration and oil production are mainly based on Petronas.

However, at present, the three major companies are actively going out, actively developing the international market, and improving their own systems. PetroChina has also been actively developing upstream, and they have not slackened their ties with PetroChina. In fact, because of the large size of the three oil companies and the weakness of advanced technology, the world's major oilfield service providers attach great importance to the actions of the three companies, and the services provided at the technical level are becoming more and more perfect.

The car entered the gate of Kempinski, and Kang Xuedong said: "Don't go directly to the gate, let's park the car in the parking lot and walk over." Chen Mo was a little puzzled, not understanding what he meant. He said with a smile: "Drive directly to the door of the lobby, the other party will think that you are the driver, and it is not convenient to introduce, we will walk over together, and others will not see you as a driver." ”

Chen Mo snorted, very moved in his heart, and only by treating his godfather sincerely like this would he pay attention to the details in this regard.

Sure enough, when Chen Mo followed Kang Xuedong to the door of the lobby, everyone looked at Chen Mo, who was dressed brighter than Kang Xuedong, and no one would think that he was a driver.

Chen Mo also gave each of them a business card, and the two sides exchanged politeness, and the Chinese general manager of the other party and a beautiful office girl guided him to enter with Kang Xuedong.

Kang Xuedong is the general manager of procurement of PetroChina, although each oilfield and large refining and chemical enterprises have their own purchasing departments, but when it comes to large-scale procurement, it still has to be guided by the headquarters. Therefore, his arrival can be regarded as more important, just from the general manager directly guiding them into the entrance, you can know.

Unlike what Chen Mo originally imagined, he originally thought that it would be a huge drinking party, just like a Western-style buffet filmed in the movie, where everyone walked around with a wine glass, foreseeing acquaintances, clinking glasses and chatting with each other.

But the sight is only a palatial Chinese restaurant, and at the door, there are dozens of uniform gift boxes. There are four large round tables inside, each of which can seat more than 20 people, and there are all kinds of flowers or rockeries in the middle of the round table. Chen Mo couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this is here for dinner, where is it a drinking party?!

Kang Xuedong and he were guided to sit at a round table leaning into the stage, and the people who had already sat down were all leaders of CNPC, except for Minister Shang and Minister Mao, whom Chen Mo knew, the rest were the heads of major oil fields and refineries.

Kang Xuedong did not hide the importance he attached to himself at all, and introduced him to everyone one by one. Their faces did not show any abnormality, and they all encouraged them kindly. But all of the people here are leaders at or above the department level, and he is a small section chief, which makes him feel that he has entered this circle, and he is really a little restrained and panicked.

Chen Mo sat upright all the time after he sat down, with a slight smile on his face, no matter who spoke to him, he responded immediately. But I was thinking, what was in those gift boxes? By tonight's standards, I'm afraid this salute won't be light.

He noticed that his godfather was very popular here, not only at the table in his company, but also at the two tables of Petronas and CNOOC, and people came to say hello from time to time.

Minister Mao, who was sitting next to him, said: "This table is our CNPC, the next table is Petronas, and the two tables outside, one table is CNOO, and the other table is Schlumberger and some of their foreign customer representatives. ”

Chen Mo asked in a low voice, "Do you say from time to time that you have held a drinking party yesterday?" How is it held again today, or in this way? ”

Minister Mao said with a smile: "Yesterday was a technology promotion meeting, and there were a lot of people from major companies, so it was a Western-style buffet. Today, only the leaders are invited to a banquet, so of course the specifications are higher. Don't think that foreigners will only do their tricks, and they are better at playing better than anyone else. ”

Before Chen Mo could speak, he saw a beautiful waiter come over, squatted down beside him, handed over a business card and said, "Mr. Chen, there is a Yabinlovsky over there who wants to talk to you alone." ”

Chen Mo looked up and looked in the direction she indicated, a middle-aged man looked at Chen Mo and nodded lightly to him. Chen Mo took the business card, and as soon as he saw the Siberian Oil Company's head, he understood.

I was still thinking about how to contact the other party, but now they took the initiative to find the door, and this opportunity could not be missed. He also nodded to the other party and asked Minister Mao, "I'll go over for a while, it won't be rude, right?" ”

Minister Mao was also a little surprised, smiled lightly and said, "This is originally an occasion for communication, what's so rude?!" Go ahead! ”
