Jiang Yang looked back at the office building, turned his head and said, "Said at the door." ”

Then he went straight outside.

Liu Zhendong looked at Jiang Yang's back and still followed.

The street in front of the office is not wide, it is somewhat narrow.

There are a few shops open on the roadside, and there are also many roadside stalls, most of which sell groceries and daily necessities.

It's just that these people don't look as lively as in China, the stalls are placed there, the bosses are talking and laughing, and even drinking beer at a table on the side of the road, as if the quality of the business has nothing to do with them, and the goods are even more like a love to buy or not to buy attitude.

There is a public bench at the door, on which Jiang Yang and Liu Zhendong sit down.

Jiang Yang sent out a cigarette, and Liu Zhendong reached out to take it.

Both of them smoked silently.

"Mr. Pi told me about you."

Suddenly, Liu Zhendong spoke.

Jiang Yang nodded slightly.

Liu Zhendong said: "To tell you the truth, the Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Office has only been established for more than half a year on the surface, but in fact, it has been here for seven years. ”

Jiang Yang nodded again, but still did not speak.

Liu Zhendong continued: "In the past seven years, all the funds of the office have been provided to us by a certain enterprise in Huaxia. ”

"Enterprise?"

Jiang Yang was slightly stunned.

Liu Zhendong nodded: "Yes, state-owned enterprises, so in a sense, the real leadership of the office has two aspects. That's why when it comes to certain issues, it will waver and struggle. ”

Jiang Yang smoked in a sullen voice: "After seven years, nothing has been obtained, although the above still supports you, but that company has gradually given up on you, constantly reducing funds and even refusing to pay for funds, so the office is mixed up like it is today." ”

Liu Zhendong was stunned and smiled bitterly: "That's the case." ”

"Two years ago, all parties kept putting pressure on the office, and the then deputy director Tong Hanlin was forced to fabricate the fact of negotiations with the Venezuelan side and forcibly ordered the technical team to go to Guasipati for exploration.

Tong Hanlin was dismissed from his post and sent back to China. In the past, all the expenses and expenses were one-way contact between Tong Hanlin and that company, and since that incident, our funding has become even more difficult. ”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes."

Liu Zhendong looked at Jiang Yang: "The small building in front of me is still because I enjoy the local free room policy. ”

Jiang Yang was a little surprised, and a little unconvinced: "The office is here to do things on behalf of the interests of the motherland, why is it so." That oil company has less money for you, won't you report it to the top? ”

Liu Zhendong smiled bitterly: "There is nothing that can be done above." ”

"In the past few years, we have moved so fast that there are offices like ours all over the world. In view of the current situation, the policy formulated above is to cast a wide net, and all offices are tightening their clothes and food, and they are all trying to overcome difficulties on their own. ”

"Enterprises have the hardships of enterprises."

Liu Zhendong looked at Jiang Yang and said: "They also have their own mining units to support, the office has been in Venezuela for seven years, and so far they have not made any achievements, and it is very good that they can promise to continue to pay the funds......

"Dude."

Jiang Yang sat on the stool, smoking and looked at Liu Zhendong: "You have nothing wrong with your brain, right?" We're here to dig for oil, not to catch mud in the river. Such a big thing, there are not billions of dollars smashed into it, do you think you can see the splash? ”

The body retreated slightly, and looked at Liu Zhendong incredulously: "You don't think that with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, you can do this in this broken building for a few years, right?" ”

Liu Zhendong bowed his head and was silent, and then raised his head: "We have spent a lot of money, and when we came here, I also proposed it to the above." I haven't made any achievements in seven years, and I ......"

"If I don't make a result, I don't have the face to see anyone."

Jiang Yang squinted his eyes and smoked a cigarette, looking at the man in front of him.

Liang Jiu spat out a puff of smoke into the street: "I don't blame you for this. ”

"Pi Qing can let me come over, and a lot of new people have come in, which shows that the family has not given up on you, but is supporting you as always, you don't have to blame yourself."

Jiang Yang leaned back in his chair and continued, "As for spending money, that's too normal. ”

"Who can't spend two dollars on doing things?"

Jiang Yang said disapprerovingly: "Besides, the funds they gave were used to do things, and they were not squandered by you, as long as they were spent on the blade, the results were not done because of the general environment, and it was your business." ”

"More than 40 million, ......!"

Liu Zhendong sighed, with a little despair in his eyes and tone.

"In just seven years, the office has used more than 40 million others!!"

Liu Zhendong closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

"Tut-tut."

Jiang Yang looked at Liu Zhendong, who was full of loss, and smacked his lips: "Look at your worthless appearance, what's wrong with 40 million?" Do you know what you're doing right now? That's a project of more than 100 billion yuan, not to mention that you can make it too big, even if you do it a little bit, you have to run tens of millions of dollars a day? ”

Liu Zhendong looked at Jiang Yang suspiciously: "How can tens of millions come out of your mouth so easily, this is real money, forty million!" ”

"I know forty million." Jiang Yang looked at Liu Zhendong and said, "You don't have to remind me, the flowers will be spent, and they will not be unclear about the situation of Venezuela." In my opinion, the current shortage of funds is not because you spend too much, but because this state-owned enterprise has taken the cost into account. ”

Liu Zhendong was slightly stunned: "What do you say?" ”

Jiang Yang lit a cigarette again and said: "I have read all the materials you mentioned, the fundamental problems of the current project not being implemented are all because of the rejection by the leaders above and this state-owned enterprise, since the establishment of the office, hundreds of plans, large and small, have not been passed, haven't you thought about what it is?" ”

Liu Zhendong did not respond.

Jiang Yang said: "There are many excuses they give, but in the final analysis, it is because of the cost. ”

"All the underground oil resources in Venezuela are heavy oil, and if you want to meet the international standards, the extracted oil needs to be refined and two barrels of light oil can be added before it can be used."

"Take the Middle East, for example, where the general cost of oil extraction is $10 per barrel, and it is all light oil, which can be sold directly after a little processing. But this is not the case here, where the vast majority of heavy oils must be blended with light oil to meet the sales standards, which costs at least $25 a barrel, which is 2.5 times that of other places. ”

"On my plane to Venezuela, I carefully read the treaties on oil exploitation drawn up by Venezuela and the international community. According to the 55-5 standard, once the international oil price falls below $40 per barrel, then Venezuela will be doing a loss-making business. ”

Jiang Yang smoked a cigarette and said lightly: "At that time, no one will be comfortable, whether it is the miner or the country." As the direct leader of the office, Pi Qing is thinking about how to open up the situation and compete with the American and British channels, and the state-owned enterprise is thinking about the cost, but because of Pi Qing's face, it has to continue to pay your expenses. ”

"To put it bluntly, no matter what kind of oil samples you explore, or what kind of cooperation you negotiate between the office and Venezuela, these seem important, but they are not so important."

"Because at the end of the day, it's a business, and since it's a business, you have to think about whether to make money or lose money. You think that the office is not doing anything because you are incompetent, but in my opinion, ......"

Jiang Yang smiled slightly and looked at Liu Zhendong: "It's because everyone knows that no matter what plan you offer, it will be rejected." Everyone is just waiting for an opportunity, leaving you here is just to occupy a pit, whether it succeeds or not, it is a heavenly situation. ”

Liu Zhendong looked at the man in front of him with some shock, and didn't know what to respond to for a while.
