Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1882 Go to Africa to develop oil fields

Zhang Guangmao is a member of the oil system, and as long as he wants, he can become the next leader of the oil system.It stands to reason that with his status, he shouldn't ask Niu Xiaoqiang this kind of question.

However, Fan Demin and Zhou Hongbao were not surprised by this, because they knew very well how strong Niu Xiaoqiang's personal ability is.

As early as a year ago, Niu Xiaoqiang concluded through his own analysis that the direction of public opinion would be completely reversed. Now his predictions have all come true without any mistakes, which is enough to prove how terrifying Niu Xiaoqiang's vision and mind are.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, and said a few polite words before getting to the point: "Uncle Zhang, I personally think it's a good thing for you to stay in the oil system for the time being, as this will increase your capital—"

Zhang Guangmao interrupted when he heard this: "Xiaoqiang, the international crude oil price has dropped by more than half, how do you ask me to make achievements in this situation?"

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed: "Uncle Zhang is a little anxious, this is not in line with your usual style."

Fan Demin echoed, "Old Zhang, how did you do this? Why don't you let Xiaoqiang finish talking?"

Zhang Guangmao smiled wryly and said: "To be honest, after meeting with you tonight, I will rush to the capital tomorrow morning. The superior asked me to give an accurate statement before the Spring Festival, so that they can make the next arrangement. They urged me so urgently , do you think I can not be in a hurry?"

Fan Demin was taken aback: "Why are they in such a hurry?"

Niu Xiaoqiang interjected with a smile: "Uncle Fan, the reason is actually very simple. Due to the sharp drop in international crude oil prices, the country's foreign exchange income has dropped sharply. Most of the country's foreign exchange reserves are earned back from selling oil. If there is no Without foreign exchange, how can the originally planned development plan be implemented? Where can I get the money to buy the industrial equipment that is going to be purchased abroad? Under such circumstances, can the higher-ups not be in a hurry? "

Fan Demin suddenly realized: "It is true. Now the country's foreign exchange reserves are only 35 billion U.S. dollars. If oil trade, the main pillar of foreign exchange income, is seriously affected, the country will have no money to use for development."

Zhang Guangmao interjected: "Because of this, I feel incomprehensible to Xiaoqiang's words. I don't understand how I can still get results if I stay in the oil system?"

When he said this, he looked at Niu Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, uncle sees you smiling so easily, does this mean that you have already thought of a solution to the problem?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I have indeed figured out a solution. Uncle, don't worry, let's continue as we said before."

Zhang Guangmao showed a look of surprise, nodded again and again and said: "Yes, yes, please continue."

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed, and then said: "The biggest advantage of staying in the Ministry of Petroleum is that it can reflect your sense of responsibility and ideological awareness that you have the courage to take on at a critical moment. This is a very good thing. As for how to make achievements, My answer is only three words, that is to go out."

Zhang Guangmao hesitated and said, "You mean you want me to take the initiative to lead a team abroad to cooperate with other countries or companies?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "The domestic oil reserves and production capacity are here. It is simply unrealistic to continue to maintain the original foreign exchange income in the face of the sharp drop in international crude oil. Only by going out can we get opportunities and make achievements. .”

Hearing this, Zhang Guangmao tentatively asked: "Xiaoqiang, uncle doesn't know any foreign oil companies, can you help uncle as a middleman?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "Since I made this suggestion, of course I have to reach out."

Zhang Guangmao was overjoyed immediately: "With your words, I feel relieved. Come on, let's have another drink!"

Niu Xiaoqiang picked up the wine glass, clinked the glasses and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhang Guangmao wiped his mouth, and then asked: "Tell me, what good partner can you introduce to uncle?"

Niu Xiaoqiang took a bite of the dish before replying: "Uncle Zhang, just a week ago, a friend of mine in Africa called me and said that he was going to get involved in the oil industry, but he had no relevant exploration and oil production technology. If he hired other companies to help him develop, the price would be too expensive, and he couldn’t afford so much money for a while, so he asked me for help.”

"I didn't agree in a hurry at the time, but said that I would give him an answer after thinking about it. Originally, I wanted to whet his appetite and wait until the end of the new year. Since Uncle Zhang is so anxious, I agreed in advance. He, when the time comes, I will introduce you to each other. The domestic oil system will provide technology, equipment and personnel, and I will find a way to raise development funds, and the other party will provide land. As long as we are lucky, we can all get huge benefits."

Zhang Guangmao nodded again and again: "This is a good idea. We have enough technology, equipment and personnel, but we lack opportunities. As long as you can solve the financial problem, I promise to fully cooperate."

Zhang Guangmao pondered for a while when he said this, and then said: "But the oil system is about to be split up. If this is the case, I am worried that it will not be easy to operate at that time."

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled: "That's simple, isn't uncle going to meet with the leader tomorrow? At that time, you can agree to continue working in the oil system, and tell the other party your idea of ​​going out to find opportunities, and then you propose to temporarily maintain the oil department." As for the requirement of completeness, I’ll help you figure out all the excuses, and you just say that a complete oil system is more convenient for you to cooperate with the outside world, and you can concentrate your efforts on major tasks. This request is very reasonable, and the superiors will not object.”

Zhang Guangmao hummed, and then asked: "Xiaoqiang, tell uncle the truth, how sure is the cooperation plan you mentioned just now? Don't wait until after I finish my statement, your friend is unwilling to cooperate." , then uncle's situation would be too embarrassing."

In order to give Zhang Guangmao a reassurance, Niu Xiaoqiang took out the satellite phone on the spot: "I'll call him right away to confirm this matter, so as not to make mistakes and embarrass Uncle Zhang."

After Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he directly dialed Smith's number.The friend he was referring to was Smith.After Smith tided over the difficulties with Niu Xiaoqiang's help, his life became smoother and his luck became better and better.

Not long ago, workers in their mining area discovered a shallow oil field when they were conducting geological exploration.After testing by technicians, the oil quality of this oil field is very good, and it is also very conducive to development.The only disadvantage is that the roads are not smooth, and it is difficult to transport the oil.
