Chapter 129: Godfather Arrives
(Thank you for the general XX of the Friends Party and the two brothers of the Iron Man, thank you for the monthly pass.) οΌ
Of course, Chen Mo didn't know everything that was happening in Moscow, and although this cooperation was a very good development opportunity for him, everything was beyond his control now, so his interest was not strong. The only thing that bothered him was how much benefit Berezovsky promised him.
After returning to Switzerland from London, the two girls had rested enough, and soaked in the mountains with him. Skiing is a very interesting sport, from skis to snowboards, and even tobogganers, motorized snowmobiles can be played, and each sport is a combination of skill and speed that you can't get tired of.
Except for the time when he needs to play with them one by one, he has always said that his energy is focused on skiing. From the first low-level slopes to the more exciting intermediate slopes, Chen Mo's skills have gradually improved in the past few days of practice.
However, he has not dared to try more thrilling advanced slopes, those slopes that are often more than 60 degrees, not to mention playing, even if you stand on it, it feels terrible. If one is not careful, he hits a large rock in the process of rapid descent, and he can be killed.
So no matter how much Vivi and Nastya tout, he just wouldn't try the exciting high-end slopes. The high-level slopes here in Engelberg are mainly the section of the main peak of Titlis Peak, on the slopes less than 3,000 meters long, the height drops from 3,500 meters to 2,000 meters high, and the cliffs next to it are craggy.
The two girls have been getting along very well these days. Weiwei is a very selfish person, but she is also very emotional, otherwise she would not have been able to write so many touching articles. After knowing Nasjia's mental condition, he felt even more pity for Nasjia, and the two of them really felt a little like glue lovers.
In addition to playing. Weiwei also wrote a long travelogue detailing her time in Engelberg in the past few days, which was uploaded to Cao Yu's travel website. Few people have read the travelogue written by Chen Mo, but the travelogue she wrote has thousands of people following the trend, which makes Chen Mo feel very sad.
In a fit of rage, he changed his screen name to the injured big black dog. didn't usher in attention, only ushered in the ridicule of a bunch of women.
Li Shan was very angry that he was taking advantage of his work to play in Switzerland, and if it weren't for the difficulty of obtaining a visa in Switzerland, she would have been eager to come to Switzerland from the capital to join their team.
However, such days will always come to an end, and on December 18, Kang Xuedong went to Switzerland alone from China. Chen Mo drove Liu Xiahe to the airport to greet him, and then did not return to Engelberg, but stayed at the office of Zug CNPC.
Although it was a tentative contact with Siberian Oil. The negotiating team did not follow. But this trip has Kang Xuedong, the general manager of the procurement department, Vice President Shen, the deputy general manager of the refining department, and Minister Xue, the head of the procurement department, which is already quite high.
The reason why it is so urgent is because it is Christmas in the West soon, and the New Year is coming soon, and Western countries are going to enter the holidays. So they come and get in touch with each other, one is to understand each other's intentions and requirements. The second is to strive to reach a specific intention of cooperation with the other party.
In fact, if only the purchase of crude oil in the megaton range is involved. There is no need for Kang Xuedong, the general manager of procurement, to come forward. Because the purchasing department has no decision-making power in the procurement of crude oil.
The internal terms of reference of PetroChina are actually quite confusing, crude oil procurement is mainly a matter of the refining division, but the international department is mainly responsible for the international business of PetroChina, so generally at this time, the international department will also come forward.
And what about the purchasing department. Under normal circumstances, only the procurement of fixed assets has the right to make decisions. For example, what accessories to buy, what machines to buy, but these work generally have to respect the opinions of each purchasing unit. Therefore, although the procurement department is a second-level department, it does not have much real power.
Even if it was later merged with the equipment department. The assets of the armament department are mainly domestic, and its influence in the country will increase significantly. However, when it comes to international procurement, it will still be constrained by various departments, and the voice that can be made will not be too loud.
Therefore, Chen Mo began to want Kang Xuedong to be transferred out, and after being transferred to other departments, his power would also increase greatly. But now that Xu Yunteng has been shuanggui, the chances of Kang Xuedong being able to transfer away will be very small.
got close to one by one, and when he arrived at the office, Kang Xuedong entered the working state. "Tell me about this exchange with Berezovsky, I wonder, how can this matter be so simple?!"
"Energy trading has never been a simple business transaction...... Chen Mo saw Kang Xuedong nodding before continuing: "So I didn't talk to him about business at all, but talked to him about politics." I just revealed a little bit of a tendency to cooperate in Gorgeous, and he took the initiative to come to the door. He even promised that in the transaction with PetroChina, he would give me another part of the benefits. β
Oil deals often involve political donations, and even conditions such as arms deals and technology transfers, and a little kickback is not taken to heart by Kang Xuedong. He stared at Chen Mo in surprise for a long time before asking, "Are you talking to him about politics?" I really can't accept this, what exactly did you talk about? β
Chen Mo also knew that his words were a bit nonsense, a fledgling young man talking about politics with a political godfather was as unbearable as a kindergarten child talking about physics with Einstein.
"I talked to him about LΓΌ Buwei and told him that if he continued like this, he would no longer have a place in Russia. And after he listened to me, within a few days, the intention to cooperate came. Godfather, please forgive me for borrowing your name. What I deliberately mean is that you taught me these words. β
Kang Xuedong was completely confused by this series of news, and said: "What is borrowing my name? You speak slowly, from the beginning, and the more you talk about it now, the more confused I become. β
Chen Mo told Kang Xuedong about the process of communicating with Berezovsky. "It was probably such a process that I created an agency that knew him very well, and I made a detailed analysis of his current situation, and after he returned to Russia, he verified my guesses, so he is now very enthusiastic about working with us."
"You're so bold! It's a complete tightrope walk! Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like if none of your predictions picked up? β
"What if all my predictions came true?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically and said: "It is impossible to deal with people like Berezovsky in a conventional way, to be honest, although we attach great importance to this transaction, but for him, this is just an ordinary transaction in one of his industries." If we can't impress him, will there be something where they take the initiative to cooperate? β
"Do you think your prediction will come true?"
Chen Mo laughed and said: "There are still 10 days, and the end of the year is coming, and when President Yeltsin makes a televised speech on December 31 announcing his resignation, you will see that 80 percent of the situations I have mentioned will appear." Although Russia's domestic political scene is in chaos now, one thing will not change. No matter which forces come to power, they will attack Russia's oligarchy, which is nothing more than moderate forces and fierce forces. β
"From this point of analysis, the chances of the Russian Communist Party returning to power are zero, and the chances of the current Russian Prime Minister Putin coming to power are more than eighty percent. And Putin is also a tough man, if he wants to take Russia off and create a new situation, it is inevitable to target the oligarchs. It is precisely because my speculation is true that Berezovsky takes you very seriously, because he thinks that you have speculated. β
Kang Xuedong was really a little crying and laughing, he only arrived in Europe today, but he found that he had been dragged onto a thief ship by his godson. The more critical issue is that the rudder of the ship is not yet in its own hands.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Chen Mo's ability, but he really can't believe it. Why does a young man dare to walk a tightrope between international affairs, if something goes wrong, it is definitely not something that Chen Mo can afford.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said: "It's okay if you want me to do what you say, but you have to get to the bottom of me, I want to know every bit of your ideas, so that I can arrange the response plan for each stage." β
Chen Mo laughed and said, "I knew that you would accommodate me, and I didn't want to hide anything from you, but now everything has just begun, and I am not too sure myself, so I haven't talked to you in detail yet." But now that it's started, I should tell you about my detailed plans. β
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll go to lunch when I'm done, the things on the plane are not delicious, and I'm still on an empty stomach!"
Chen Mo organized the language and said: "Just like several domestic companies are looking for oil resources around the world, Russian oil companies have also been looking for stable sales channels. In the past, their sales direction has always been Europe, including oil pipelines and natural gas pipelines, all of which are built in the direction of Europe. β
"But since a few years ago, Russian entrepreneurs have been turning their attention to the East, right? Isn't this the reason why Yukos negotiated with Petronas for the Ontario line oil pipeline? But I assert here that this pipeline will never be built. We can't afford to wait until Yukos talks with Petronas collapse, and then we enter, it will be too late, so we have to open up a second front. β
"On what basis do you conclude that this pipeline can't be built?" (To be continued.) )
