(In order to thank good friends, the reward of the general XX of the base friend party, I specially presented a chapter, and everyone also made up the chapter I owed, and the old demon thanked me.) Now go catch the next chapter and update the next chapter on time at twelve o'clock. ）

Berezovsky did not continue to dwell on this topic, and he has a professional strategic research department and a rigorous plan for the development of the company. Listening to Yabinrowski's debriefing now is not so much listening to his advice as it is a way of getting around him.

Yabinlovsky was the middleman in the company, where he worked when Siberian Oil was a state-owned company. Later, the Siberian Oil Company underwent a process of privatization, and he, an "old man" who was already a marginal person, was not taken seriously by Berezovsky or Abramovich.

But now it is important to adjust the company's strategic approach to the Far East, and this Yabinrowski is in the position of general manager of the Far East.

Berezovsky wanted to see this man with his own eyes, to see if he could reuse him, and if so, to keep him in his current position. If not, there are still many unimportant positions in the Siberian Oil Company, and it is easy to arrange him as a mid-level.

"So do you have any specific views on our company's cooperation with PetroChina?"

"I can only say that Siberian Oil Company and CNPC are two very complementary companies, our company has rich oil reserves, while CNPC is one of the largest refining companies in the world and has the largest consumer market in the world. From a strategic point of view, the cooperation between the two companies is very much worth looking forward to, but in the actual cooperation process, we still have many difficulties to solve. ”

"A company needs the opinion of someone like you who understands the situation."

Yabinlovsky thought about it seriously this time and organized his own language. said: "On the object of cooperation. CNPC is not as good as another Chinese oil company, Petronas, because CNPC's sphere of influence is in the south of China, and there is a PetroChina between them and us. But the focus of Petronas right now is on Yukos and Luke, which are bigger than us and closer to China. Unless we come up with more favorable terms, then. Our cooperation with Petronas will face great difficulties. But if we really come up with more favorable terms, we will face a lot of accusations in China, so this is a difficult problem. ”

"In cooperation with PetroChina, although we will have a certain increase in transportation costs, we can avoid unnecessary competition, which will also allow us to reduce a lot of resistance."

Berezovsky thought for a moment and asked: "Do you mean Yukos and Lukoil by resistance?" ”

"It's not all. Yukos has been pushing ahead with plans to build an oil pipeline from Angarsk to Daqing, China, but the plan has been opposed by the pipeline construction company and Japan. Even the Far Eastern Railway Company was opposed to the plan. At present, the Far Eastern Railway Bureau has tens of thousands of tons of transportation tasks every day, and if the pipeline is successfully built, it will cost them a lot of income. ”

Joseph, who had not spoken on the sidelines, said: "I have already learned from the relevant people of the Far Eastern Railway that if we supply fuel to the Far East now, we can only be assigned two trains a day. This means that no more than 4,000 tonnes will be transported per day. Even if it is transported at full capacity, the annual transportation volume is only one million tons. Such a small amount of transportation. It is difficult to establish a strategic partnership between CNPC and us. Do you have any good suggestions? ”

"In the long run, establishing a strategic cooperative relationship with PetroChina or Petronas is the future development trend. China is a huge market, and it is impossible for us to give up this market. The current market capacity in Europe is already in a stable phase, and oil consumption in Europe has not increased significantly since a decade ago. However, the Asian market is increasing day by day. Japan's oil supply in the Middle East has been relatively stable since it began to deploy in the Middle East 20 years ago, but this is not the case with China, which is obviously waving money everywhere, but still does not have a stable supply. In order to stabilize oil prices, the APEC organization has been controlling production, forcing China to say that it will go to Africa and South America to buy oil. The quality of our Russian oil is the best in the world, but due to transportation reasons, we have not been able to make our voice heard in the crude oil market, and if we want to change the status quo, we must grasp the emerging market of Asia. ”

"So what do you think is the best solution?"

"Build a crude oil pipeline!"

The three of them were silent, they all knew very well that this matter was easy to say, but it was difficult to do. Yukos has been pushing for five or six years, but it has not been able to come up with even the most basic plan, and the resistance is so great that even environmental groups have run out, clamoring that the crude oil pipeline will destroy the ecological environment of the Far East.

You must know that this is Russia, where the common people can't eat enough, not Europe and the United States, which advocate freedom and democracy, when did environmental protection organizations have such great ability? It's not like there are some forces behind it.

Berezovsky smiled and said: "We don't need to think about this problem for the time being, let's let Yukos explore the way ahead, if they really build the first pipeline, we can also build the second." Jaeger, you are familiar with the situation in China, do you think Evan Chan and his godfather are worth betting on them? ”

"Sir, there is no difference between CNPC and the previous Siberian Oil Company, both are state-controlled, the only difference is that it is a little bigger. Evan Chen's grandfather, a veteran of China's oil industry, enjoyed a high reputation within both CNPC and Petronas. As for his godfather, he is a real leader in the second estate, and more importantly, he is still young, not yet fifty years old. If nothing else, his godfather will soon be transferred to the oil field, or a refining company, to serve as the leader for a while, and when he returns to headquarters, he will definitely become the leader of the first line. ”

"And Evan Chan is still young, and he won't be able to develop much in his position at the moment. However, if we use the opportunity of cooperation between the two parties to highlight the importance of Evan Chen, it will give him a big advantage in the internal competition. In this case, some of our reasonable requests will definitely be rewarded. ”

Berezovsky meditated for a while, raised his head and asked Joseph: "What do you think about this?" ”

Joseph laughed: "Now that we have decided to place a bet, there is no need to be half-hearted. As for Evan Chen's investment, it seems that it is within our range of acceptance at the moment, and I don't think there is much risk. ”

Berezovsky laughed: "I would also like to meet him and see what amazing things he can say in front of me." ”

Since Putin has intensified his crackdown on terrorism and terrorism in Chechnya, his support rating in Russia has been rising, which has also given Berezovsky a great shock. He didn't expect that this "colleague", who was only a small deputy mayor not long ago, would adapt so quickly after entering the center.

According to the latest opinion poll, Putin's approval rating has now exceeded 50 percent, far surpassing Primakov, Chernomyrdin and others. This feeling of losing control was something he didn't like, but at the same time, he was also extremely surprised at the accuracy of Chen Mo's prediction.

I really have to think about whether to focus on politics or the economy in the future. Russia in the new century is about to enter a new century, and Russia in the new century does not need these oligarchs who can politically influence government decision-making and control the country's development economically. But how to get down decently still needs to be seriously considered.

Berezovsky was neither Khodorvsky nor Potanin, he had never had any interest in politics, let alone the position of prime minister or president. The biggest contradiction between him and Putin now is that Putin is seeking independence and standing up, and he has difficulty accepting the loss of control over Putin.

If this continues, the contradictions between him and Putin will become bigger and bigger. But this time, after being reminded by Chen Mo, he had an open and honest conversation with Putin, and tentatively made concessions to Putin.

His promise that he would reduce his political advocacy in the future was greatly appreciated by Putin, who promised not to pursue him for irregularities in the privatization process in the future.

The result of this temptation made him feel relieved, but at the same time very annoyed, the object of his support has now become a threat to him. But now he must stand in the same trench as Putin, and if someone else is allowed to come to power, his fate will be very tragic, and he can foresee that in that dark cell, there will be one that will belong to him.

Even if he is able to escape sanctions, then he will become a man without a homeland and live in exile abroad for the rest of his life. Neither of these results is what he wants, so he can only support Putin now, but he doesn't know how long the peace between him and Putin will last.

Maybe Evan Chan was right, he had to give up some of his things. He has also been reading the legend of Lü Buwei these days, and although the Russian translation has made the book lose its original flavor, Lü Buwei's experience has taught him that going against the tide of history will not end well.

Putin, a capable young man, now represents the trend that Russia wants to change and rise, and he can't be obsessed with it anymore!

He turned his head and said to Yabinlovsky: "I beg your pardon, Jaager, I have to let you work in the Far East for another two years, and now the company has decided to gradually shift its strategic center, and needs to have someone in the Far East who knows the situation very well. ”

Yabinlovsky initially wanted to be transferred back to China because he was not valued in the Far East, but now the position of General Manager of the Far East is a very important position, and he certainly does not want to leave now. "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely follow your arrangement and make my own contribution to the development of the company." (To be continued.) )
