Chapter 132: First Meeting

(Sorry, there was a bit of a delay today, and the update was late.) I'm going to move on to the next chapter...... )

At about half past ten, Yabinlovsky arrived at the hotel with a thin old man in his sixties. In the face of Kang Xuedong and them, he was neither humble nor arrogant, but when facing the old man, he showed a sense of humility from his subconscious.

Everyone knows that this old man has a good identity. Only Chen Mo didn't care too much, in the Siberian Oil Company, except for Berezovsky and Abu, who later called for wind and rain, no one else was in his eyes.

"This is Mr. Joseph, Mr. Berezovsky's special adviser and an active promoter of this cooperation."

Yabinlovsky's introduction made his identity known to everyone, because the official letter sent from the Siberian Oil Company this time was all signed by Mr. Joseph.

Kang Xuedong took the initiative to extend his hand to him and said in English: "Siberian Oil Company and China National Petroleum Group are both excellent enterprises in the industry, and we have obvious complementary roles in development. Mr. Joseph has a forward-looking vision and can actively promote the cooperation between the two companies, and we at CNPC would like to express our heartfelt welcome to friends like you. ”

Joseph also said in fluent English: "This matter is mainly the main meaning of Mr. Berezovsky, and I am only playing my due role as a manager." ”

Kang Xuedong also introduced the identities of Vice President Shen and Minister Xue, and the two sides shook hands one by one. When it was Chen Mo's turn, Joseph looked at him carefully and said, "Mr. Berezovsky is very important to you. He believes that a young man who is only 23 years old can clear the fog on the road to the future and move forward unswervingly, which is very admirable. And I also think that in addition to the cooperation between the two companies, we have a personal friendship. There can also be better development. ”

At this time, he glanced at Kang Xuedong intentionally or unintentionally. Chen Mo shook his hands with him and said: "When I didn't meet Mr. Berezovsky, he was already an idol on the road of my life. From my encounter in London, I am even more sure of this. My steadfastness stems from the inspiration that Mr. Berezovsky has given me. ”

"Bless you, young man. I'm sure your life will be wonderful too. ”

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries. Joseph sent out an invitation, and Chen Mo and the others were ready, so everyone went downstairs together and went to Berezovsky's club.

For him the place of the meeting was arranged at the club, and not at the Moscow office of Siberian Oil. Kang Xuedong also guessed that although the Siberian Oil Company is now equivalent to his private company, the company has six shareholders after all. Now that he is arranging it like this, it confirms Chen Mo's prediction just now.

This time it's not about business, it's about feelings.

Chen Mo and Yabinlovsky fell behind the crowd. Although they didn't speak, the two of them looked at each other, and they both smiled knowingly.

Berezovsky arranged for two Mercedes-Benzes to come to greet everyone, and Hao Aiguo had no use for bringing commercial vehicles. However, the car followed the convoy and went with it. At such a time, Berezovsky has his heart, but CNPC cannot lose face and cannot be picked up by the other party. Just follow the other person's path.

The car was driving through the streets of Moscow, but Chen Mo was worried about whether his godfather could deal with Berezovsky, an old fox. This is not to say that Kang Xuedong is not as good as Chen Mo, a newcomer, in this regard. The main reason is that Chen Mo is clear about the future, but his godfather is not clear!

If the words he said to Berezovsky were not confirmed by his godfather, then he would definitely have to be suspicious. Income himself and his godfather have already revealed some ways to deal with it, but in this kind of intriguing occasion, they are careless. It's going to be a good way.

The car drove into an ancient castle in the Tsarist period, the greenery in the yard was neat, and the ancient castle with a hundred years of history was thick and vicissitudes. But the towering walls and strict guards make this place more like a prison. And not the club anymore.

Two middle-aged men who were not tall stood at the door of the castle, and Chen Mo recognized at a glance that the man standing next to Berezovsky was Abu, who was famous in later generations. Although he is only 35 years old now, he has become a rising star among the oligarchs, and his wealth is not far from it, although it is not as rich as Berezovsky.

In Lang Yufu's memory, there are many fragments of this tycoon who is still a young man. He bought Chelsea FC in the Premier League, making him the most famous man in the world. In terms of spending money, even Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, can't compare to him.

The car stopped in front of the steps, and Joseph, Kang Xuedong and Vice President Shen, who were sitting in the front car, got out of the car in turn. Their car also stopped, and Yabinlovsky glanced at Minister Xue and said with a smile: "Evan, I believe that today's meeting can have a good result." ”

Chen Mo understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "I am also convinced of this!" ”

Although the temperature in Moscow today is very low, there is no wind in this courtyard, and the sun is shining down, and there is a little warmth. Berezovsky and Abu were not wearing coats, and when they shook hands with everyone one by one, Chen Mo felt that their hands were warmer than his own.

I don't know if it's Chen Mo's delusion, Abu's eyes seem to stay on him for more time than on Kang Xuedong's. Perhaps, he also inquired clearly, and he was the liaison in this cooperation. Other than that, he didn't know what else in him Abu would care about.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Mo felt that he had gone from a cold winter to a hot summer. The room was well heated, and they came in in thick clothes, and they felt blown up when they landed.

But soon four waiters with the body of a model came over, all of them showing their towering breasts and slender thighs, helping Chen Mo take off their coats and hang them on the hanger.

They whispered about their needs, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. Instead of staying in this hall where the ball could be held, everyone was taken by Berezovsky to a slightly smaller living room. Although it is smaller, it is only relative, and the area here is more than 100 square meters, and a few of them came in, and it still seemed so empty.

This living room is full of Russian-style oil paintings, Chen Mo doesn't know anything about it, only an oil painting with an area of almost 20 square meters attracts his attention, because it is a picture of a nude girl, and there are at least a dozen beautiful girls in the oversized oil painting, staring at everyone in their own postures, which is easy to distract.

Berezovsky led everyone to the meeting area in front of the painting, where he and Abu stood in front of a two-seater sofa directly below the painting.

On this occasion, although it seems that there are no rules, if you really sit around, it will be a joke. According to his position with Abu, Kang Xuedong sat on his lower left, and below Kang Xuedong sat Joseph, followed by Minister Xue's position.

On the other side, Vice President Shen sat on Abu's right, Yabinlovsky sat below Vice President Shen, and the last position was Chen Mo's.

After everyone sat down, Berezovsky said with a smile: "I am very happy to welcome guests from China today. China and Russia have a long history of commerce, since Genghis Khan's conquest of Europe brought exchanges between Asia and Europe, China and Russia have had people-to-people commercial exchanges. Hundreds of years of history have passed, and the commercial exchanges between the two sides have developed from simple barter, small transactions, to large-scale trade between the two countries. Especially in the past decade, the commodities of China and Russia have become more and more complementary, and China's light industrial products and food have always been the most scarce commodities in Russia. And Russian resource products, heavy industry products, have always had a good reputation in the Chinese market. ”

"As far as our two companies are concerned, Siberian Oil Company has rich oil reserves, while CNPC has the world's leading refining capacity and a huge market. However, due to various practical reasons, our two companies have not formed a complementary trade relationship in the past. However, when we rediscovered the importance of each other, we were confident that we would overcome the past and bring together the strengths of both companies, no matter how many difficulties we faced. ”

Those beautiful waiters had already come in with drinks, but they didn't come directly. Taking advantage of Berezovsky's words, he quickly brought over the tea that Chen Mo and the others wanted, and quickly disappeared.

Chen Mo and the others were very happy to hear Berezovsky set the tone for today's meeting, and he said everything to this point, so the tone of cooperation has been set. Now it's up to the individual conditions.

Kang Xuedong was the first to applaud, and after the waiters disappeared, he said: "Mr. Berezovsky's opinion also represents the expectations of our CNPC. China and Russia have a long history and tradition, and they are also two world powers adjacent to each other. However, because of the distance, the trade between our two sides has never really developed. The Far Eastern Railway has linked our two countries to commercial exchanges, but we have not really taken full advantage of this facility. I hope that our two companies can step out of the shackles, open up our minds, and create a new situation where one plus one is greater than the sum of its parts. ”

The words of the two of them really set the tone for today's meeting, that is, cooperation must be cooperation, and it depends on how to cooperate.

Chen Mo was still worried at first, and his godfather didn't want to bring up the matter of the oil pipeline all at once. After listening to him, he knew that he was foolish. The construction of oil pipelines is not a trivial matter, don't say that he is a godfather, even Mr. Zheng, and he doesn't dare to mention it at will. Without the arguments of many parties and the permission of the state, this plan cannot be put forward casually. (To be continued.) )
