Spring Breeze 1991

Watching Zhang Huaide walk up to Yao Yuan with a smile on his face and slightly bent over and extending his hand enthusiastically, Zhan Sheng noticed a detail, Yao Yuan was sitting, Zhang Huaide was standing, and Yao Yuan didn't intend to get up, just shook hands like that.

This is how subordinates see their superiors.

Zhan Shengcai muttered, "A private entrepreneur has such a huge spectrum."

When Liu Zhiyuan in the front row heard it, he turned his head to look at Zhan Sheng, and then Zhan Sheng quickly put his head over to listen.

Liu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Chunfeng Group is not an ordinary private enterprise. It is a patriotic enterprise and has a very deep relationship with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and the Central Bank. More than half of the foreign exchange reserves last year were created by companies under the Chunfeng Group."

"So powerful!" Zhan Sheng was shocked.

Liu Zhiyuan pointed to Dongfang Petroleum and said, "You saw it just now. Does anyone know who took the initiative to greet Yao Yuan just now?"

"Those two foreigners are representatives of the Shell-Halliburton consortium." Zhan Sheng knows English.

Liu Zhiyuan said in his heart, you really don't know what to think when you want to start a war without even knowing the strength of your opponent.

That's right, although Liu Zhiyuan is the vice president of the Petrochemical Corporation, he is not in the conservative camp. Zhang Huaide is in the conservative camp. That is to say, this time Zhang Huaide is on the conservative side, but Liu Zhiyuan is not. His attitude is very ambiguous .

He's just a vice president, so his attitude doesn't matter at the critical moment.

In fact, Liu Zhiyuan supports a diversified economic model. After working in state-owned enterprises for so many years, he is very aware of the disadvantages of state-owned enterprises. The advantage of private enterprises is that they have sufficient vitality, which can reverse the development of state-owned enterprises.

To put it in a sentence that he still doesn't understand, the diversified economic model is a win-win development model for state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

But at a time when the conservatives are gaining momentum, Liu Zhiyuan neither dares to express his attitude nor is he willing to stand in the ranks of the conservatives.

In the fog that suddenly appeared, Liu Zhiyuan thought that it was not easy for him to be alone.

He said lightly, "The two foreigners are the president of Halliburton Middle East and the vice president of Shell. One of these two companies is the world's largest oilfield service company and the other is the world's largest oil company. You see them There is no attitude towards Yao Yuan."

Zhan Sheng opened his mouth wide in surprise. He really didn't know Halliburton and Shell Oil.

Liu Zhiyuan stopped talking, folded his arms and continued to pay attention to the brief meeting between Zhang Huaide and Yao Yuan. He had only one doubt—is this Yao Yuan the interpreter Yao Yuan?

One is the boss of a huge enterprise group, the other is a small translator, could they be the same person?

Zhan Sheng only felt that his brain was not enough, and there were too many problems to think about.

For Dongfang Petroleum, after shaking hands, Yao Yuan asked Zhang Huaide to sit down.

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Huaide asked, "President Yao, there is a translator named Yao Yuan in the business inspection team, who looks very similar to you..."

"It's me." Yao Yuan said with a smile, "I've been working in a grassroots government agency in Xinfeng County for a year. But this time when I go back, whether I can keep my job is up in the air."

Zhang Huaide was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's really you... extraordinary people do extraordinary things, Mr. Yao, I admire you."

"Are you trying to say that I'm full?" Yao Yuan said with something in his words, "It seems that it is indeed the case. I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. Anyway, if you don't stay here, you will stay here Master, you are right, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Huaide suddenly felt uneasy, and asked, "Mr. Yao, you are... what do you mean?"

"I have decided to completely withdraw from the domestic market. If I can't provoke it, I can hide it. Mr. Zhang, don't compete with me for the oil and gas franchise in Kazakhstan. Leave me a way to survive." Yao Yuan said sincerely.

If Zhang Huaide believed Yao Yuan's words, he would be the biggest idiot. The fight was about to start. Yao Yuan was obviously showing weakness. This was a psychological tactic. However, he aroused vigilance against the words "completely withdraw from the domestic market".

Would Yao Yuan really do this?

He was about to make insinuations when the host announced the start of the meeting. Nazaryev was coming. He had no choice but to hold back, got up and returned to his seat at Huaxia Petrochemical Corporation.

"Mr. Zhang, are they the same person?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.

Zhang Huaide nodded slowly, "It's him. It turned out that he worked in a grassroots government agency after graduating a year ago. I have never had this information."

"He, he just graduated!" Zhan Shengcai was about to stick out his tongue, and he couldn't stop trembling when he thought that the little translator he was calling around was actually the boss of Chunfeng Group.

He is the deputy director of the First Division of the Secretary of the Economic and Trade Committee and the chief secretary of Du Zhiguo. He always has a sense of superiority in front of the mayor. Shrimp are not even counted.

Zhan Sheng was very hurt, and had the urge to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

Nazaryev entered the arena and was greeted with a standing ovation.

A group of his ministers followed closely behind, sitting in a row on the rostrum.

Nazaryev is also a high-ranking official in the Soviet Union. This person has a very tough style, which is somewhat like the style of Emperor Putin. Of course, Emperor Puteri is still in the development stage.

After a few opening remarks, he read out the requirements himself and announced the start of the competition.

This method is like bidding, the difference is that the bidders offer not only funds, but also other subsidiary conditions, and the decision of which one wins is in the hands of Nazaryev, not the one with the highest bid.

The oil companies are well aware of the situation and reported their plans in order.The plan had been submitted to Kazakhstan a long time ago, but if no additional conditions were added to the original plan, it would be a "companion bid".Even if there is a one percent chance, the oil companies will not let it go.

Sure enough, each company offered a new price tag, among which the Shell-Halliburton consortium directly offered $5 million in grant aid, while providing a total of $50 billion in low-interest loans over the next ten years.

This kind of generous investment directly left other Western oil companies far away. Even Yao Yuan was quite surprised, because the financial status of Dutch Shell Oil Company was not optimistic.The larger the stall, the higher the expenditure. In addition, Shell Oil Company has not obtained oil fields above the designated size in the past few years. The situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, Yao Yuan concluded that Shell Oil Company must have received the support of the Dutch sovereign fund.

However, Nazaryev wanted more than money, and Occidental Petroleum was not his favorite partner.

The 90 million US dollars in the 5s was undoubtedly a huge amount of money, but compared with the construction of a new capital with a population of one million, it was a drop in the bucket.

When Frank put forward new conditions on behalf of the Shell-Halliburton consortium, Nazaryev's expression did not change. He just talked in a low voice with his right-hand men on the left and right, and then asked the representative of Huaxia Petrochemical Corporation to speak.

The last company to quote was Dongfang Petroleum Company. This arrangement obviously did a good job and gave Dongfang Petroleum enough time to think about countermeasures.

Zhang Huaide doesn't speak English, so it was Zhan Sheng who acted as the representative and read out the conditions of Huaxia Petrochemical Corporation according to the script...
