Spring Breeze 1991

The full name of the United Arab Emirates is the United Arab Emirates. It is an aristocratic republic composed of seven emirates. Among them, Dubai, which is familiar to the world, is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, and Abu Dhabi is the capital of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Among the seven emirates, the emirate of Abu Dhabi accounts for 80% of the area and more than 90% of its oil reserves. Abu Dhabi is a real oil country.

Legend has it that oil was discovered in Abu Dhabi because farmers hoeed hard on the ground with a hoe, and then a dark liquid came out...

The UAE's oil resources are in the hands of the royal family, and it is useless to find the oil minister. Yao Yuan has long known this.

Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Khalifa is the target of most bidding companies.

The 40-year-old prince is said to be a very pragmatic leader, and the same is true. In the future, he will become the king of Abu Dhabi and then the president of the United Arab Emirates. His pragmatic attitude has won a lot of support.

This time Yao Yuan has no chance to be opportunistic, and even he doesn't know Khalifa very well.

He has no way to directly contact Khalifa, he can only find out by collecting public information, which is quite difficult to do.

The main way is the newspapers, looking for any reports related to Khalifa.

Until the end of the temporary exploration, Yao Yuan still had no clue.

Lin Xiaohu looked at the newspapers and periodicals that had piled up in the living room, frowned and said, "Isn't it too inefficient to do so? The reports are full of irrelevant information, without any clue."

Jiang Yong is a big boss, and letting him read the text is more uncomfortable than killing him, so he is the most leisurely during this time, as long as he is responsible for the security work.

Yao Yuan said, "Yes, I really have no clue. This Prince Khalifa keeps a low profile, and there are few reports about him, so it is even more difficult to find clues. It would be great if Fei Wei was there, and that guy has a super memory , maybe we can find some clues from the continuous reports."

"Then let Awei come over?" Lin Xiaohu said.

Yao Yuan shook his head, "Forget it, let him continue to be in charge of the oil pipeline. In my opinion, we must formally meet with the UAE's oil minister."

"But didn't you say it's useless to seek the Minister of Petroleum?" Lin Xiaohu asked.

Yao Yuan said, "I met Khalifa through him, and nothing can be said without seeing Khalifa."

He believes that the hole card of Dongfang Petroleum is something that Khalifa cannot refuse, and it is also a promise that all oil companies in the world cannot make, but Khalifa must be seen.

Lin Xiaohu said, "Do you want to start a backup plan?"

"No, I'll go in person." Yao Yuan said.

When he said this, Jiang Yong immediately sat up straight.

Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous, the security measures are so tight, there is no problem in terms of security. No matter how arrogant Wall Street is, it will not do it blatantly. I have also figured it out these days, blindly hiding is not a long-term solution .”

"I'll handle it," Jiang Yong said.

Yao Yuan still shook his head and refused, "Let Yakov handle it."

"Okay." Jiang Yong could only agree, he knew that Yao Yuan was thinking of him.

It is not difficult to find these people, especially for Yakov and the old KGB.But Yao Yuan has always asked not to take the initiative, so they have been holding back and can only defend passively.

Now that Yao Yuan has figured it out, the strategy will naturally need to be changed.

Jiang Yong called to arrange it.

Yao Yuan changed into formal clothes, took a look at the newspaper on the desk, put it down, and said, "Let's go to the bidding briefing."

This meeting was originally attended by Qin Zhenjun's representative, so when Yao Yuan came to the venue, Qin Zhenjun was very surprised.

The venue is at the Kempinski Hotel.

"Mr. Yao, has the plan changed?" Qin Zhenjun asked in a low voice.

Yao Yuan nodded slightly, "I'll come in person."

Qin Zhenjun didn't object. If Su Jianmin wasn't in charge of the oil pipeline, Su Jianmin should have come here. Qin Zhenjun is in charge of technology and is really not familiar with bidding.

The small venue was full of people, including people from major oil companies.

Yao Yuan saw Hans, the executive vice president of Standard Oil, and Jason from Halliburton. He also saw two Europeans sitting behind the Shell Oil brand. It didn't surprise him.

However, Miyamoto Tairo and Qianzhong Shinichi were surprised.

Dongfang Petroleum is located in the corner on the back side, and Xindai Chemical is in the first row.

Qian Zhongxin looked back at Yao Yuan with a smile on his mouth, couldn't help being surprised, and said in a low voice, "Why is Yao Yuan here? He should have done it in Tashgarh."

"Didn't you say that he would not participate in the bid for the Shikotan Oilfield?" Miyamoto said dissatisfied.

Qianzhongxin smiled and said, "There is a problem with my information, but when did he come here? Our people in Tashkent did not find any clues."

"Could he have only arrived in Abu Dhabi in the past few days?" Miyamoto asked in a deep voice.

Qian Zhongxin hesitated and shook his head slightly, "There is no way to be sure, maybe, maybe we were fooled."

After being silent for a while, Qian Zhongxin said, "But the impact is not big. Neither Yao Yuan nor Su Jianmin can change the current predicament of Dongfang Petroleum."

"Don't forget, after they lost the right to transit through Turkmenistan, it means that they now have a lot of money in their hands," Miyamoto said.

Qian Zhongxinyi said, "But they don't have the support of the state power. Just raising the bidding price will not help. We all know that the UAE hopes to obtain more incidental benefits through the Shidan Oilfield. Dongfang Petroleum simply cannot provide these."

"I hope so. Shinichi-kun, I have a bad premonition." Miyamoto said solemnly, "I've thought about it over and over again in the past few days, and I always feel that something is wrong with Turkmenistan. The first time we met It was met by Alipov, but all subsequent negotiations are under the responsibility of the vice president."

He asked, "Xinyi-kun, have you studied the relationship between Alipov and the vice president? And Sherdar, what kind of role is he, just an intelligence broker?"

At this time, Miyamoto's attitude is completely different from his previous attitude in Ashgabat. At that time, he thought Sherdar was just an intelligence broker, in order to earn more dollars so that he could immigrate to European countries to enjoy the benefits, but now He changed his mind.

Qian Zhongxin couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He said uncertainly, "Contracts signed in the name of the country should not change. Turkmenistan must take into account the international impact. If a sovereign country does not have the spirit of the contract, I don't think anyone will negotiate with them again in the future." cooperate."

Miyamoto asked sharply, "Are you worried that Turkmenistan will break the contract?"

"I'm not sure……"
