Chapter 130: Start with Oil
At Yanjing International Airport, I saw a tall, handsome young man dressed casually and with a unique temperament, who was hurrying quickly.
In today's era, China's air transport industry is still far from development and prosperity, there are not many passengers in the airport, and you can see at a glance that the vast majority of passengers are foreigners, even if they are black-haired and yellow-skinned, the face shape is slightly different from that of Chinese people, plus the sound of "detain you a few wow, hi", it is not difficult to judge that these people are Japanese.
Although 40 years ago, China was still waging an anti-aggression war with Japan over the fortunes of the country and the future of the nation, and the two countries could be called a sea of blood feud.
But since the formal establishment of diplomatic relations ten years ago, the exchanges between the two countries are still relatively close, especially after the reform and opening up in China, more and more Japanese businessmen and enterprises in China, in the field of motorcycles, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki, starting from next year, will no longer be satisfied with the import of vehicles, and have begun to enter the Chinese market through technology licensing, joint ventures and other ways.
As for the purpose, it is simpler, it is not the "support for China's reform and opening up" advocated by those elites in later generations, just because China, which has just opened up, is a blank and huge market!
To put it bluntly, it's all money, it's all profit!
And objectively speaking, although the entry of these Japanese companies has indeed promoted the development of related fields in China to a certain extent, in fact, these business cooperation has also brought one big hole after another.
At this moment.
Wang Ye walked briskly at the airport, attracting people around him to look around.
After all, in this era, those who can take cross-border flights are either foreigners or business groups sent abroad by the Chinese government, and it is very rare for such an extraordinarily young man, and to be alone.
Not long after, Wang Ye came to the location of the security checkpoint, and his ears were full of the sound of devils talking.
Now Huaxia and Goudahu have not established diplomatic relations, so there is no direct flight from Huaxia to Goudahu, and the flight that Wang Ye is about to take is a Japanese airline, which will make a transfer in Tokyo, Japan, and then fly to Riyadh, the capital of Goudahu.
Even Wang Ye's visa to go to the big dog household was handled through the help of the staff of the Huaxia Office in the big dog household, and the Fifth Machine Department coordinated it, otherwise Wang Ye would have to be blind when he went abroad.
Just when Wang Ye listened to the devil next to him discuss the first thing after returning to China, he went to the custom street to get drunk for three days, and couldn't help rolling his eyes, when he suddenly heard a Chinese voice.
"Little comrade, let me ask, is this the security checkpoint to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia?"
Wang Ye turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man of medium stature, bald with glasses on the top of his head, wearing a gray-black suit, dressed quite rustic, sweating profusely, waving at him and asking.
Anyway, seeing compatriots is cordial, and suddenly Wang Ye said with a smile:
"Yes, it's to Riyadh."
Hearing Wang Ye say this, the middle-aged man with a medium figure and rustic appearance suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then shouted to the back:
"Leader! This way! Go to Saudi! ”
"We're at security here!"
Following his gaze, Wang Ye looked behind him, and saw a group of almost twenty people, hearing the voice walking towards this side, led by a middle-aged man who looked quite generous, and more than a dozen men wearing suits of various gray and black colors, ranging in age from thirty to fifty, and five or six female comrades, it was obvious that this was a certain department going abroad on business.
After greeting the group of people, the middle-aged man dressed in rustic clothes took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and at the same time smiled at Wang Ye and said:
"Thank you, little comrade."
"You're also on a business trip to Saudi Arabia?"
Wang Ye did not deny this, after all, they are all Chinese, and they all have to go to the same country, and the other party does not seem to be at a low level, it is good to have a care, Wang Ye has no need to pretend to be cold, and said with a smile:
"Yes, on a business trip to Saudi Arabia."
"Leader, you're going to Saudi Arabia too? It's a coincidence! ”
In this day and age, it is always not wrong to see a rich person shouting the boss and a public servant shouting leadership.
Hearing Wang Ye say this, the middle-aged man dressed in rustic clothes shook his head, stuffed the handkerchief into his pocket, and turned his head to look at the people who were walking behind him, and then lowered his voice and said with a smile:
"I'm not a leader, I'm a translator at best!"
"But little brother, you're not ordinary! What unit are you from? Going abroad at a young age? ”
"Awesome!"
In today's era, people who can go abroad are powerful, of course, great is a general statement, all aspects of the powerful must be powerful, and finally the middle-aged man dressed rustically gave a thumbs up and sighed sincerely.
Anyway, it's all small talk, Wang Ye has nothing to hide, and said with a smile:
"Red Star Machinery Factory, I have some business dealings with that side."
"I was sent to talk about business."
What Wang Ye said was the truth, and at the same time, the rustic middle-aged man did not have the slightest doubt, after all, in the current Huaxia area, there is a certain factory called Hongxing, and there must be eight hundred if there is not a thousand, it is not surprising at all, as for whether it is really a business, who cares? Then he sighed with emotion and said:
"Cow! It has to be your foreign exchange earning unit, it's comfortable! ”
"But the little brother doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, and he doesn't bring a translator when he goes abroad?"
"Speaking Arabic? College students, right? ”
Obviously, in order to get closer to the relationship, the rustic middle-aged man's name for Wang Ye has changed, from a more polite comrade to a more cordial "little brother", and the reason why the relationship is wanted is very simple.
They are all Chinese people, needless to say when they go on business trips to the same country, the key is that the people of the foreign exchange earning unit go on business trips, and they usually have more money in their hands, and to put it bluntly, there are more US dollar quotas!
At this moment, hearing this rustic middle-aged man say this, Wang Ye showed a seemingly shy smile and said:
"I know a little, I can have a simple conversation."
In line with the principle of equal communication, Wang Ye hurriedly asked:
"How many of you? What unit? ”
Hearing Wang Ye say this, the rustic-dressed uncle pointed to the crowd not far away, and then lowered his voice and said:
"I borrowed it, a teacher at Yan Normal University, who teaches Arabic, and has never been abroad."
"The leaders are from the Ministry of Oil, and they are also there to talk about business."
Immediately, Wang Ye suddenly realized, nodded with an admiring expression on his face, and at the same time, the security check also started over there, and the conversation between the two ended, and after a while, he passed through the security check and began to board the plane.
After a few moments, he sat down in his seat.
Wang Ye's seat is close to the middle and rear of the plane, needless to say, the front is business class and first class, after all, this is a Japanese airline plane, this aspect is naturally an international standard, you can enjoy better treatment if you spend more money, of course, the people who sit are all foreigners, after all, people have money, and those leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum sit behind the business class, just a few rows in front of Wang Ye.
"Yikes! Intimate Marseille! ”
Just when Wang Ye lowered his head and buckled his seat belt, suddenly there was an exclamation and apology from the front, all in Japanese, Wang Ye looked up, only to see a young woman who was dressed more fashionably and looked quite exquisite, carrying a small suitcase, and seemed to have suddenly fallen down in the aisle, and was standing up with the back of the chair at the moment, constantly apologizing to the people next to him, and the rustic uncle next to him had an expression of watching the show.
At that moment, Wang Ye frowned.
Without waiting for Wang Ye to carefully recall a certain action he saw at the last second, the young woman had already stood up, rubbed her knees, and walked over to the back with a small suitcase, her mouth was still full of broken thoughts, as if she felt sorry for herself for being careless or something.
Then, she stopped next to Wang Ye and began to tiptoe to put a small suitcase on the luggage rack, and after trying for a few seconds, she lowered her head and said to Wang Ye apologetically:
"Hello sir, can you help me put it away?"
As a five-good young man, Wang Ye said with a natural smile on his face:
"Absolutely."
Then Wang Ye picked up the suitcase, easily put it on the luggage rack, and adjusted the angle, and at the same time, Wang Ye relied on his height advantage to condescendingly look at this woman from the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, although her gaze was wandering, it seemed very normal, but every few breaths, her gaze would be very natural, sweeping near the leaders of the oil department in the front row.
At that moment, Wang Ye felt that his mood was very complicated.
In his previous life, Wang Ye was engaged in research, and he was also engaged in military-related research, in a sense, Wang Ye at that time was also a "fragrant bait" in the eyes of many people, as for who many people were, of course, they were foreign hostile elements.
In fact, the military industry, especially the relevant scientific research units and relevant scientific research personnel in high-tech fields, has always been the hardest hit area for infiltration, lurking, rebellion, and even assassination.
Take the Western University of Technology where Wang Ye once taught, as an example.
As one of the "Seven Sons of National Defense" in China, as long as you pay attention to the entire school of Xi'an University of Technology, you can find that there are restaurants and restaurants every once in a while, and they are directly taken away by some special service personnel.
As for the reason, it's simpler.
Those small bosses who laugh and look ordinary on weekdays are all foreign spies!
Don't think that when it comes to foreign spies, they will have a face that a fool can see as a foreigner, sneakily taking pictures or flying drones and other operations outside the military area, in fact, most of the spies are familiar Chinese faces, but they have been rebelled, or there is a problem with the original way, and they are not serious Chinese people at all.
Wang Ye has experienced a lot of similar things, even if time has passed, he still remembers it clearly.
For example, in Wang Ye's last year of teaching at Western University of Technology, there was a period of time when a very good mutton steamed bun shop was opened outside the school.
As a result, this store has not been open for two months, it happened to be summer vacation, the day before Wang Ye also took the doctors and graduate students of the research group to eat, and when he went again the next day, the building was already empty!
casually inquired a few words, and the classmates who were watching the excitement next to him came out with him.
It is said that it was just dawn in the morning, and the little boss was taken away by the uncles in black with a pot, as for the reason, it is said that this little boss sells mutton steamed buns during the day, secretly digs tunnels at night, and then monitors the underground communication fiber optic cable through some technical means!
Of course, this is not the most outrageous.
The most outrageous thing is what happened when Wang Ye was working in the research institute, in the spring of that year, an old friend of Wang Ye was beautiful every day, and within a few days, good news came that his son was getting married!
Even Wang Ye gave a share of 1,000 yuan, but he didn't have time to go to the banquet.
After his son got married, this old friend was even more happy every day, seeing everyone was full of spring, Wang Ye couldn't help but ridicule a few times when he met, and then because he was busy with work, he didn't see him for a while.
When we met again, it was already the end of summer, and the friend who was originally chubby had already lost weight twice, and everyone sighed when he saw it.
Wang Ye asked and found out that his son had been engaged in the object since he was in college, and his newlywed wife, who had only married after seven years of itching, was actually investigated and found to be a spy less than a month after getting married!
Think about the cold sweat on the back, the daughter-in-law at home has a problem, who can withstand this?
It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye's old friend was observed for a long time to determine whether he had been rebelled, and at the same time, in order to investigate whether he caused a leak, he was suspended for at least two months, and even because the background investigation of the spouses of the immediate family members of important scientific researchers was not in place, which caused a great mistake, the heads of several relevant intelligence departments were directly assigned to the front line.
And it's because of these things.
During that period, many research institutes organized counter-espionage training and study activities, and senior intelligence personnel of the security departments were responsible for conducting rigorous and meticulous teaching and examinations on these "sweet spots." For a time, there were many complaints.
At this moment.
Combined with the counter-espionage and counter-reconnaissance skills he had learned, Wang Ye could basically be sure that this Japanese woman was indeed stalking several leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum in front of him!
"Put it away."
Then, Wang Ye closed the cover of the luggage rack and said so.
"Aligado!"
The woman also sat on the seat next to Wang Ye, and said thank you to Wang Ye with her chin bow.
Hearing her thanks, Wang Ye felt that his mood was becoming more and more complicated, he only felt like an unlucky person, he finally went on a trip to a foreign country, and he could still meet a spy, and the key was to sit next to him, isn't this a joke?
And about the reason why these people in the Ministry of Petroleum were targeted, combined with the memories in his mind, in fact, Wang Ye can also guess some of them, with the needs of reform and opening up and economic development, the consumption of products and derivatives of the petroleum industry has increased greatly, and the backward technology and low production capacity in the past can no longer meet the needs of today's domestic market, so large-scale oil refining equipment and related technologies are urgently needed.
However, if you do it yourself, you can't do it in a short time, and you can't stop developing, so you decided to purchase equipment and technology from foreign countries.
And how and where to introduce these equipment and technologies are all problems.
In fact, there are many countries in the world that have mastered these technologies, such as the United States, such as the Soviet Union, such as France, such as Canada, such as the United Kingdom, such as Japan, but there are not many who are willing to sell to China, and this island is one.
Although Japan is willing to sell, the problem is that in Wang Ye's memory, their asking price is very terrifying, and the treaty is extremely domineering and unreasonable!
In this way, things can be figured out, the Chinese government hopes to contact Saudi Arabia, which also has similar, or even slightly low-end equipment and technology, to obtain equipment and technology at a lower price, and the Japanese side has sent commercial spies in order to monitor Huaxia's progress.
Fair and reasonable.
"It's supposed to be a commercial espionage, I guess I won't bomb the plane, it's not life-threatening, right?"
"But it's a sting to do nothing."
"Report? But I don't have proof! Unless she just fell, yes"
Thinking of this, Wang Ye decided to follow his heart's wishes!
