Spring Breeze 1991

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about business."

Yao Yuan dragged the topic back, and said, "It's still about the oil pipeline. Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan all agreed to transit through the pipeline. Mr. Wen, I'll take care of the overseas issues. The domestic oil company can handle them." Are you responsible?"

Wen Tiejun said with a bitter face, "Xiao Yao, you are giving me a problem. I have talked with Director Xia several times. We are talking with Russia about the An-Dalian line. It is really difficult to build a second pipeline at this time. .”

The appearance of Xindaihua gave Yao Yuan a stronger sense of crisis. This move showed that Japan would compete with China for oil pipelines in all directions.Thanks to the appreciation of the yen, their funds are extremely abundant, and their overseas purchasing power is very strong.

However, this is almost the end of the battle. By 1995 at the latest, the Japanese economy will usher in the lost 20 years, and economic development has stagnated since then.

The problem is that it is impossible for Yao Yuan to wait until 1995. There will be many major events in the 90s, and every time point will have a huge impact on the overseas business activities of Huaxia enterprises, such as the purchase of the Varyag. If decisive measures are not taken before 1992 If you buy it and drag it back to your country, you will have to wait another ten years.Ten years, how many decades are there in life, and how many ten-year windows are there in the development of a country's comprehensive national strength?

Therefore, these pipelines must be completed in the shortest possible time, and we must do our best to get the oil fields that have the opportunity to be obtained.

Therefore, Yao Yuan said decisively, "I adjusted the direction plan of the pipeline. After crossing the Caspian Sea from the Baku oil field, it will go northeast through the four Stan countries and enter from Karamay."

"Karamay Oil Field?" Sure enough, Wen Tiejun became interested.

This is the oil field of the Petroleum Corporation, but the higher authorities intend to assign it to the Petrochemical Corporation.The current output of the Karamay Oilfield is quite high, and the Petroleum Corporation is very reluctant, but there is no way.

Yao Yuan nodded, "Yes, if the National Petroleum Corporation participates in the Barker-Kerk oil pipeline project, you have enough reasons to hold the Karamay Oilfield in your hands. Otherwise, the Petrochemical Corporation will definitely be interested."

While Wen Tiejun was thinking, Yao Yuan analyzed, "You know that I also have business in Russia. A considerable part of the oilfield services in the Tyumen Oilfield is provided by Dongfang Petroleum. We have relatively strong connections in Moscow, so it is easier to obtain some information."

Wen Tiejun nodded slightly, he had seen this before, even the troops had to ask Yao Yuan for help in buying Russian fighter planes.

Yao Yuan said, "Japan has been in secret contact with Russia and proposed the Anna-Dalian line plan. The end point of the pipeline is Nakhodka, a port city in the Russian Far East. The Russians were not very active about the Anda-Dalian line. I know you have already talked with them. They The attitude is very negative. After the Japanese proposed the Anna Line, they not only gave them an excuse to delay time, but also gave them the best reason to bargain.”

Lin Xiaohu brought over a report at the right time and handed it to Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan opened it and looked at it. After confirming that it was the intelligence information telexed from Moscow, he handed it to Wen Tiejun.

It took Wen Tiejun more than ten minutes to read the not-so-long document and fell into deep thought.

Yao Yuan said, "Judging from the current situation, there will be no seven or eight years to discuss the plan to lay oil pipelines from Russia to enter the country. Besides, you must know that the internal situation in Russia is not stable, and there may be another crisis. Something will kill the plan."

Historically, it took more than ten years to complete and open, which is too long.

"But the Barker Line does not have these problems. Optimistically, the construction may start in a year." Yao Yuan tried his best to persuade Wen Tiejun, "Take a step back and say, is one oil pipeline enough? That would be bad for our country's economy." The speed of development is too low. I boldly predict that 30 years from now, my country will have to import at least 5 million tons of oil every year to meet consumption needs.”

Wen Tiejun almost choked to death on his own saliva, smiled wryly and shook his head, "How is that possible."

"When we become the world's second largest economy, anything is possible." Yao Yuan laughed.

Wen Tiejun shook his head, "That will be 100 years later."

Yao Yuan said, "Even if we only import 1 million tons, it is not enough for one pipeline. The annual oil transportation volume of the Anda line you proposed is 1500 million tons, and our Buck line is designed to have an annual oil transportation volume of 3000 million tons. "

"From another perspective, you can even use the Barker Line as a bargaining chip in negotiations. If the Russians are not active on the Anta Line, then we will switch to the Barker Line."

Wen Tiejun thinks this is completely operational, but Yao Yuan's ultimate goal is to facilitate the entry of the Barker Line, which is not something he can decide, but he has a great say.

After pondering for a moment, Wen Tiejun asked, "What about the conditions, how to cooperate?"

"The establishment of an oil pipeline construction company, the establishment of a Buck pipeline operation company, the establishment of a refining and chemical company, the construction of a petrochemical plant and an oil refinery in Karamay, all of which allow the Petroleum Corporation to participate. To be honest, whether this pipeline is a national strategy or corporate interests , are more important than the Anda-Da line. You know this." Yao Yuan said.

Wen Tiejun frowned and said, "However, the [-]-kilometer pipeline requires too much investment, and we don't have that much money."

Yao Yuan said, "There are many ways to buy shares. The National Petroleum Corporation's investment ratio can be slightly greater than the shareholding ratio. These details can be discussed. This is all after the cooperation is confirmed, but I believe there is no problem. It can't be solved."

Wen Tiejun said helplessly, "According to what you said, the Petroleum Corporation may only transfer some shares of Petroleum Group Co., Ltd. to Dongfang Petroleum to realize the capital contribution."

"This is also a way." Yao Yuan said with a smile.

Wen Tiejun knew that Dongfang Petroleum could provide all the funds by itself. What Yao Yuan wanted was not financial support, but personal support, and what he wanted was the approval of the pipeline by the state.

"Do you have a specific plan? Give me a copy, and I will report to the higher authorities when I return home." Wen Tiejun finally let go.

"Naturally there is."

After taking out the plan and talking with Wen Tiejun in detail for more than an hour, Yao Yuan personally sent Wen Tiejun to the door and said, "Mr. Wen, Director Xia is supportive. I suggest you communicate with him more."

"Okay, I'll go back to China the day after tomorrow." Wen Tiejun nodded and strode away.

The affairs in Abu Dhabi are no longer important, and with the separation of the oil company in progress, Wen Tiejun doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

However, if he knew that Yao Yuan’s statement that the four stan countries agreed to cross the border through pipelines was a lie, he probably wanted to kill Yao Yuan...
