After listening to a briefing by the Chinese staff in Iraq on the situation, President Uday ordered that several tribal leaders who were jealous of China's wealth and obstructed China's exploration, drilling, and transportation should be severely punished, and an arrest warrant was signed on the spot. In particular, after he ordered a tribal leader who had instigated his subordinates to blow up a derrick and cut up a piece that had not yet been put into service, he was shot on the spot, and the local natives and their leaders turned pale with fright, and their attitudes towards the Chinese workers changed.

On behalf of Iraq, President Uday promised China to build a large-scale chemical plant there, and the products produced can be sold locally or exported directly from Iraqi ports. allow China to break the limit on the number of workers in the Pokhaz region; Chinese workers were allowed to lease land in the Pokhaz region to grow vegetables......

The Chinese side also made some concessions, recruiting a group of local natives to work as workers in the base, allowing locals to enter the vegetable market run by the Chinese to purchase vegetables shipped from China, at the same price as Chinese workers, but only for the purchaser's own use, and not allowing large quantities to be purchased and trafficked to other places; The Chinese side proposed to donate 10 schools and three hospitals in the backward areas of the country, with the Chinese side in charge of teachers and doctors. China agreed to send agricultural experts to Iraq to guide Iraq's agricultural production. China pledged to build an automatic artillery production line in Iraq and transfer rocket engine technology......

Seeing that China was doing this, President Uday felt that it was very face-saving, and once again made a move that surprised the Chinese: Iraq significantly reduced the tax rate on China's oil exports by 25 percent on the basis of the original low price.

President Uday is not doing this purely in favor of China. He also thinks about his country. These preferential measures are like the preferential treatment given to foreign businessmen by China's investment promotion policy in the previous life, and what he needs is China's capital, technology, and talent. What he wanted was to be able to trade some temporary, partial sacrifice for what they needed.

In addition, his friendly measures can also get the support of the Chinese political authorities and the favor of Guo Zhuocheng, which can be described as killing many birds with one stone.

In fact, Uday is not the vicious, greedy and stupid that some people in his previous life thought he was, and even if he was really stupid, there would be shrewd subordinates who persuaded him to do less stupid things.

And what they really pay for is something that they are not rare - oil. Oil was extremely valuable in previous lives, and it was regarded as a strategic commodity. It seems to decide the life and death of a country. But this material is not so important in the Middle East, just like the stone in China, although it is useful, it can be used to build houses and make cement, but it is too much to think of as a treasure.

Oil is almost everywhere in the Middle East, and the price of oil in these countries is really not high. Without OPEC as an organization to manage and engage in joint foreign operations, the price of oil in the Middle East would have been lower. The Middle East is most lacking in water, food and vegetables, and many people would rather find a stable source of water than an oil field.

And they all know that there will be a time when the oil in the ground will be extracted. In the end, it is still the water source or the technology, which is the most reliable, and the unreliable oil is exchanged for technology, in exchange for the money that is urgently needed now. It's far better than storing oil for later extraction.

To give an obvious example, now have 10,000 yuan. It is far better than having 20,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan, or even 100,000 yuan in the future, because 10,000 yuan now can not only solve the current problem of food and clothing, but can also be used for investment, to increase the population, and to stabilize the environment, and its return is far greater than the value of oil increased by scarcity in the future. Storing oil is equivalent to saving money in a bank with interest, and now selling oil is equivalent to running a company......

Everyone understands this truth, including China. In the previous life, China had just found the Daqing oil field and had just solved the problem of oil for its own use, so it could not wait to export oil to Japan to some African countries. It's not that the leaders of the country at that time were stupid, it's not that they didn't know the value of oil, it was because they couldn't help it, they were really short of money. There is really no way to export crude oil to Japan in exchange for foreign exchange to purchase advanced foreign equipment, and to export to Africa in exchange for political support, and to open a political channel for China, which was isolated by the United States and the Soviet Union.

Now Iraq thinks the same way, first exchanging oil exports for national development.

When the Chinese side received another red envelope from Iraq, Guo was on his way to the northeast to investigate, and before that, he had spent three days in a county town without alerting any local leaders.

He did not go to a large state-owned enterprise, nor did he go to other public institutions, but just ran around the county town and looked at more vegetable markets and department stores, and in addition, he went to the countryside to see the peasants planting and harvesting.

I live in a small family hotel that has just appeared, and I only need to take out Bian Liang's work permit to solve the problem, and I don't need to take out a letter of introduction issued by the local provincial government at all. In fact, Bian Liang's work permit is also a kind of disguise of identity, and the work unit is not the Qionghai Administrative Office but an enterprise unit. This was instructed by Guo Zhuocheng when he informed Bian Liang to come to Beijing.

After Guo had a preliminary understanding of the urban and rural areas of the county, he left here and boarded a train to conduct research in a prefecture-level city. In his mind, he was low-key enough to do this, and the locals should not know, and after he understood the situation in the periphery, he would take out the letter of introduction issued by the provincial government, and then enter the large enterprises to understand the situation.

However, Guo still underestimated the political sensitivity of local officials and underestimated their sense of smell. When he and his secretary Bian Liang just got off the train, there was already a queue on the platform to welcome him, and in front of the queue was the top leader of the local party, government, and military, although there was no martial law at the entire railway station, but the figure of public security personnel could be seen everywhere, and soldiers with loaded guns were arranged in several key positions, and the passengers who got on and off the train were isolated from Guo Zhuocheng's location and got on and off the train in another place.

In the face of such a high standard of the local government, Guo Zhuocheng couldn't cry or laugh, and could only say that you were too polite and disturbed you too much, and I couldn't afford it.

His administrative position is the same as that of the leaders here, and although his rank is one level higher than theirs, he is not their direct leader, so it is not convenient to accuse them, let alone say that they have made the reception work too hot. If that's the case, then he is too pretentious, and he just said with a smile: "If you go to my Qionghai Island as a guest, I can't take this lively formation, don't scold me." ”

Several people smiled, understanding that Guo Zhuocheng didn't like this scene. In fact, they had no choice, they didn't know how to receive Guo Zhuocheng, so they arranged such a scene with the mentality that many people were not to blame.

The secretary of the prefectural party committee held Guo Shucheng's hand and said, "Director Guo, you are welcome to come here for inspection and guidance. Qionghai Island is now a hot land, and we have long wanted to learn from the scriptures. After a while, we will organize cadres to learn from experience, and we don't want any entertainment, just ask you not to hide your personal interests, and just introduce us to how to make the people rich. We are here to trouble you, where do we dare to delay your precious time.

But now that you are here to help us, to send us valuable experience, to guide us in our work, you are our teacher, you are our most honored guest, how can we be lazy? In the past, students not only had to kneel and bow nine times, but also had to bind the teacher, but fortunately it was a new society, and we didn't like this, but the basic etiquette could not be lost. ”

Guo Shucheng shook the other party's hand and said with a smile: "I wish the secretary is really good at laughing, today I was ordered to investigate, just to visit and study." Aside from this task, our Qionghai Office and your prefectural committee are brother units, we are each other, we learn from you, you know us, where do we dare to be teachers in Qionghai Office? Qionghai Island benefits from the superior geographical environment, thanks to the care of the superior leaders, this has made a little progress, this is not what we people have to do, it is really luck. However, our office still welcomes you to visit us for inspection, guidance, and passing on the scriptures. ”

Everyone laughed again.

The mood of several leaders was much more relaxed, and I felt that Guo Zhuocheng, a young man, could sit in a high position It is really true, just by virtue of these few words just now, it shows that this kid has a deep city, will grasp the hearts of the people, and makes people feel comfortable when they listen to it, and they can't see his arrogance and conceit at all, and the development of Qionghai Island is completely due to the geographical environment and the support of his superiors, as if whoever arrives on Qionghai Island can make such great achievements.

Although everyone knew that it was impossible for them to achieve Guo Zhuocheng's political achievements in the past, the knots in everyone's hearts were unraveled, and Guo Zhuocheng's words put everyone in the same position, so everyone's conversation was also casual.

The group left the station with a smile and headed for the city hall.

The gate of the city hall is wonderful, the large welcome slogan sets off the compound with joy, the compound is also cleaned, and the staff are wearing clean and tidy clothes, standing in line on both sides of the road, smiling and watching the vehicles rush in. Whether these people mean it or not, it still looks pleasant.

Bian Liang, the secretary sitting in the third car, was very proud in his heart at this time, and felt that he was really honored to be Guo Shucheng's secretary, even if the provincial leaders came to inspect it, they didn't have such a high salary.

Guo Zhuocheng said to the secretary of the municipal party committee again: "I wish the secretary, you do this, it makes me very embarrassed, and it also makes the leaders of other cities embarrassed, right?" If you do that, what will they do? Even if they hate me, they can only put on this posture. Hehe, I don't even know how many people are scolding me in their hearts now. ”

The secretary of the municipal party committee said: "Director Guo, I won't tell you, we really have a request for you." ”
