(Thanks to the stupid Garfield, gy nickname, elfseraph, good books to chase, haven't found it yet, the world jerking off a few brothers for the reward, thank you for your support.) ）

Chen Mo shook his head firmly and said: "We want to occupy the corresponding rights and interests in the pipeline in your country, because the construction cost of this pipeline is completely funded by us, and the rights and interests occupied are just to ensure our legitimate rights and interests." The pipeline construction in our country will be invested by us and constructed by us, so the corresponding rights and interests should also be fully enjoyed by us. ”

He smiled and said: "But in terms of pipeline construction, we have the most advanced technology in the world, are you sure you don't need the pressurization technology help from us?" If there is a discrepancy between the volume involved and the actual volume of transportation due to technical reasons, resulting in a decrease in the volume of transportation within our territory, who will be responsible for this loss? ”

His words were a bit vexatious, although Chen Mo was not a veteran of negotiations, he also knew that he was a kind of negotiation blackmail. Therefore, Chen Mo said directly: "If it is our responsibility, we will be responsible, but what kind of technology to use and what kind of standard to achieve, this requires a negotiation process." With so much money in advance, of course, we must maintain our own rights in this plan, which is also our minimum requirement. ”

Mendeleev obviously knew that discussing this issue with Chen Mo was just a war of words, and since Chen Mo was unwilling to take any responsibility, he could only understand a little bit of China's bottom line through Chen Mo's answer. He added: "We both have the same needs for the construction of such an economic artery, but we have different opinions on your proposal to focus on the port of Dailen." The distance from Skovorogino, which is close to China, to Dalian and our Russian Far Eastern port of Nakhodka, is not much different, and I personally think that Nakhodka is a more suitable destination than Dailian. ”

Chen Mo asked rhetorically: "According to the 80 centimeter pipe diameter, the total investment of the construction plan of 21 pressurization stations will exceed 5 billion US dollars. Is it possible that we are providing so much money just to help you open up supply channels to the Far East? From Nakhodka. It will also take two days to reach the nearest port in China, and Nakhodka has a three-month freeze period every year, which will increase our additional costs, and I would be gravely sorry if you insist on this. ”

"So can you ensure that you need tens of millions of tons a year?"

Chen Mo laughed, if he said anything else, he might still be a little worried, but for the demand. But he was sure enough. Although last year's national import volume was only about 30 million tons, how big will the demand be in the future? That's 400 million tons! Among them, the share of imports is nearly half, that is to say, 200 million tons of imports are needed every year, not to mention Wu 10 million tons, even 100 million tons, Chen Mo can also guarantee to eat.

"We can write this requirement into the contract, or the Russian side can directly convert the debt into payment for the goods, deducting tens of millions of tons of sales every year, which is this. You can even write this requirement directly into the contract. ”

The other party was obviously shocked by Chen Mo's big breath, and he looked down at his notebook again after a few seconds. When he raised his head again, his tone became much softer. "We can talk about the specific details later. Whether it's exploration design. Route planning, construction standards, and future benefit input and distribution all need to be determined after a long period of negotiation. So far. I have no opinion on this plan and am hopeful. ”

Medvedev laughed and said: "Since that's the case. This shows that both Russia and China have a strong interest in this plan. Mr. Chen can convey our comments back to China, and when we have both sides set the floor for negotiations, how about meeting again to arrange a formal negotiation process? ”

Chen Mo asked, "I don't know what you are going to do with Yukos and Petronas's current plans?" ”

He closed the notebook in his hand and said, "I will also inform the Energy Authority to temporarily suspend the approval of the current plan." The design capacity of 30 million tons is indeed not enough to meet the needs of both of us. ”

"Okay, I'll go back to the country as soon as possible and relay your opinion back. And will urge all parties to come up with the terms of negotiation as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will come back to you again and try to get this project off the ground as soon as possible. ”

Although it was the first time to visit the Kremlin, Chen Mo didn't even get a reception meal, just drank a stomach of tea, soaked urine in the Kremlin, and left this central place of Russia in a gloomy manner.

However, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, and it can even be said that it has far exceeded his expectations. Now that the Russian government has taken the lead in consolidating the country's opinions, this is even more useful than half a year of negotiations with Berezovsky with all parties.

Of course, since it is now government-led, he and Berezovsky will now have less benefit in the middle. He still doesn't know that Berezovsky has reached an agreement with Putin, although it seems that the benefits will be less now, but in the future, when Berezovsky reinvests in Yukos, then Berezovsky will earn more.

In this matter, the biggest loss now is Chen Mo himself, who has lost the opportunity to be left and right, and now he can only honestly take a little hard work.

But in this cooperation, Chen Mo originally sought not profit, but fame. He now has nothing but to rely on the big ship of CNPC to develop. But if this cooperation is successful, then his name will be truly famous in the oil industry, and there will be many more opportunities for future development.

Think of the glory of leading a multi-billion-dollar business plan between two superpowers, and successfully achieving its goal, that would make him instantly famous on an international scale. In the future, whether it is Africa, the Americas, or Asia, as long as it is an energy country that wants to cooperate with China, but there is pressure from the Western society, those countries will naturally think of Chen Mo.

And no matter where Chen Mo goes in the future, with this aura, not to mention the energy companies of those countries, even those high-ranking government officials, and even dictators, there will be a place for Chen Mo.

If this plan is successful, then the only thing that restricts Chen Mo's development is the problem of funds. It is impossible for Chen Mo to use domestic funds to develop, which will make him bear the label of a government agent, although this label can make him invincible in some underdeveloped areas, but in the face of the real hegemon, he will be more constrained.

Today's oil industry is still dominated by European and American oil companies, which control more than half of the world's production and sales channels.

CNPC and CNPC, including CNOOC, have been clamoring for Western oil companies because of their government backgrounds, which is an unfair competition. To compete with these commercial companies in the strength of a country is not a free business act, but a political act. And under this pretext, it blocked the development channels of CNPC and Petronas, and led the trend of boycotting PetroChina and Petronas around the world.

If Chen Mo uses domestic funds to develop, he will also suffer this kind of suppression. Therefore, from the very beginning, he had to separate his capital from domestic capital.

In this case, even if these Western companies use it as an excuse to resist him once, he will have a reason to rely on and stand up.

What's more, Western oil companies are not monolithic, and there are many contradictions between them. If Chen Mo's capital is innocent, he can divide and cooperate between them, move left and right, and create a free space for himself.

However, although it is important to make money, you can't rush it. From now to 2003, there are not many channels to make money, oil prices have not fluctuated much in the past three years, and I just want to make money, and there are not many opportunities.

In Lang Yufu's memory, except for the development memory of the oil industry, which is relatively systematic, all other aspects are fragmented. Many fragments of memory simply cannot be relied upon for development.

More importantly, although this industry needs more capital than other industries and has a higher threshold for entry, the role of capital in this industry is far less than reputation and relationships.

I still honestly run more, watch more, know more people from all walks of life, and weave my own network. If you make a name for yourself first, you will have enough funds in the future, and the speed of development will be faster.

"Evan, when are you going back to China?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, I can't wait."

Berezovsky laughed. "I thought you would be reluctant to leave Kovyelina, but you have been getting along very well these days."

Chen Mo said with a smile: "Mr. has always been my idol, and if you want to achieve great things, of course you won't tie yourself up because of the love of your children." ”

Berezovsky asked with great interest: "So for you, love is a luxury?" ”

Although he didn't think so, Chen Mo said firmly: "Yes." ”

But he smiled bitterly and said, "I really envy your youth." When you're my age you'll know that the only thing that matters is how you feel. When a billion dollars can't make you happy, but a woman can be satisfied, then that woman will be more important to you. ”

"Has the gentleman ever met such a woman?"

"I didn't, but I've always believed in it. Maybe I'm getting old, and enjoying in the bath with a beautiful girl is far more than a successful breakthrough in business. A hearty meal will also bring me more pleasure than making millions. A greeting from the children, a thoughtful one, will also make me feel more satisfied than making money. ”

Chen Mo believed that his words were sincere, but they were just thoughts for him to calm down occasionally. He has now become a snowball rolling down from the mountain, rolling bigger and bigger, and he can't help himself, except for business, all other ordinary people's feelings are luxuries for him.

Although I admire him a little, I will never become a person like him. Because the biggest difference between himself and him is that he will not have the original sin of wealth, and he does not need to keep moving forward, otherwise he will be defeated and eliminated, and he can enjoy a more leisurely life than him.
