Chapter 235 International Trains
After staying in Taishete for two days, this town can be completed in only half a day, but Chen Mo wanted to know the local geology, so he delayed for another day. After returning to Krasnoyarsk, Chen Mo did not delay any longer, and flew with Bai Jianming to his last stop this time, the Tyumen oil field.
Originally, Director Zhao wanted to come over in person, but Chen Mo was going to come for a week this time, and he couldn't leave him anywhere, so he had to let Bai Jianming come with him.
The plane left the area with dense forests, and the view was all about the endless wasteland. Due to the cold weather, even trees are scarce here, and most of the wasteland is permafrost and shrubland. Only in the valleys and banks of the rivers of the wasteland can you see the rich green, and the trees here have a material that is far harder than the rest of the world.
The plane arrived in Nizhny Vartovsk, and before he got off the plane, Chen Mo saw the world-famous Samotrol oil field on the plane. Looking at the dense drilling below, Chen Mo didn't mention how envious he was.
The reserves of the entire Tyumen oil field reached 40 billion tons, which is eight times that of the domestic Daqing oil field. Moreover, this Samoterol oil field alone, which has been producing oil since the late sixties, has produced 2.6 billion tons of crude oil, which is higher than the total oil production of the Daqing oil field in China in 40 years.
However, thirty years have passed, and the era of the old Maozi picking up money will also pass. After 30 years of development, oil production here has also entered a period of decline, and the days when oil could be pumped by drilling a wellhead are gone, and now they have to start using pressure technology to recover the oil.
Because it was developed early, it is also the most chaotic area of Russia's power, with seven or eight large Russian oil companies and dozens of small oil companies fighting here for decades, and it is still a warlord scuffle.
More mainly, due to Gorbachev's weakness and Yeltsin's recklessness. Several large oil fields here are all occupied by Western companies, and nearly 40 percent of the crude oil in the entire Tyumen oil fields is in the hands of Western companies.
Therefore, later Putin must target these oligarchs and take back the shares. So, after tolerating Khodorkovsky many times, he did not hesitate to throw him in prison when he knew that Khodorkovsky wanted to sell 40 percent of Yukos's equity to an American company.
Because of the complexity of the situation here, there is no legal protection for foreign investment in Russia. Everything depends on Putin's attitude. Therefore, Chen Mo was reluctant to invest in oil fields in Russia, he didn't want to buy the oil fields with all his hard work, and after all the hard work, Putin took it back with a word.
If the relationship is better, Putin will give you some sweetness, so that you will not lose money, and if you offend him, you will not be ruined. He is not Putin anymore.
There are many oil fields here, but most of them have been instructed by the head office to facilitate the mobilization of information with Chen Mo. So. Running two times a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, Chen Mo spent a week. I also know about the oil field situation here.
From the easternmost point of the Tyumen oil fields, Lower Vartovsk, to the westernmost point of Khanty-Mansiysk. Over here. Chen Mo took a flight to Irkutsk and came to this pearl on the shores of Lake Baikal. However, Chen Mo's destination was not here, but Angarsk, 20 kilometers northwest of her.
Yukos's plan was rejected, but the fact that Angarsk is the largest refining base and pipeline control point in eastern Russia does not change that. Even if future pipelines use Tesshet as a starting point, Angarsk is still an important node in this pipeline.
On the day Chen Mo arrived in Angarsk, the first phase of negotiations in Moscow had largely ended. Most of the negotiators had already withdrawn to China, and Kang Xuedong also took a flight back to Beijing that day.
The time has entered July, and there is only half a month left before Putin's first overseas visit after becoming president. Negotiations are in full swing on all fronts, including the military agreement, which is of most interest to China, in addition to negotiations in the energy sector.
According to the arrangement, after a three-day pause in the talks, the second round of negotiations will be held in Beijing. At that time, Russian negotiators, including entrepreneurs, will arrive in the capital one after another. They will conclude the negotiations before Putin arrives.
This kind of thing is the norm in international relations, and when a matter is brought to the table, it is a time when a major breakthrough and achievement has been made, and the appearance of the leaders is nothing more than a decisive conclusion.
Therefore, Chen Mo did not delay much and came to the Kovikkin gas condensate field in Irkutsk Oblast. Here, Chen Mo and the survey team that arrived in advance converged and concluded with them the cooperation with the Russian side to invest in the Kovik Gold Gas Field.
They have already obtained detailed data on most of Russia's oil and gas fields in the Far East, and they don't need Chen Mo to accompany the old Maozi to pour the alcohol and water vodka.
In Angarsk, they boarded 20 international trains, and after a three-day journey, they finally returned to the capital, which had been away for a month.
The 20th train is the longest international train in the world, covering nearly 9,000 kilometers and taking more than a week to arrive.
Because it is an international train, the configuration on it is far more than the domestic train, the carriage is made in Germany, the soft sleeper car has only two berths, even if it is a hard sleeper car, there are only four berths, which is equivalent to the domestic soft sleeper car.
Each box is also equipped with closed-circuit television (CCTV) that can show Chinese and Russian TV programs as well as film programs. Lying in such a box and watching a TV show, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window when your eyes are tired, this makes the three-day journey more meaningful.
Arriving in the capital, Chen Mo still had a feeling of unfinished business, and made a decision in his heart that he would not take a plane when the treatment was over and when he returned. Taking the train from Zurich to Berlin, from Berlin to Moscow, and then taking 20 trips back home, the trip is more time-consuming, but very rewarding.
Returning to the capital, Chen Mo held a meeting for two days in a row, and passed the information in his computer to the relevant departments, and his task this time was completely completed.
He didn't actually have any technical work on him, and even this time he spent half a month in the Far East, not so much to get first-hand information, but to make contact with him.
Because there are many ways to obtain these materials, but only his relationship with the Russian company must be run by him one by one. Although he has a close relationship with the upper echelons, there are still so many officials at the middle level, if he doesn't go on this trip and never even meet many people, what kind of relationship and feelings will he talk about?
