super energy power

() Passing through the deep corridor of the Presidential Palace, Su Cheng and Zhang Li came to a small courtyard.

The courtyard is surrounded by green creepers, wrapped around stone pillars and red and white walls, giving the center of the complex a dense forest feel.Looking up at the sky, it is blue and clean, with flocculent white clouds dangling leisurely.

If it weren't for the corrupt bureaucratic smell at the nose, it would really feel like a paradise. 0

They were brought in by the Kazakh chief of staff, a flabby old man of about 50 years old.At this time, he said kindly: "Please wait for a while, Mr. President will come to see you after the meeting. There are water and drinks in the room, please help yourself." ..

"Thank you very much." Zhang Li said something in Russian.

Wang Guan and Li Jianxia both had work to do, so Su Cheng brought over the translator who joined the company last year.

The chief of staff shook Zhang Li's hand with a smile on his face, then shook hands with Su Cheng vigorously, turned around and left.

Seeing him walk away, Zhang Li said a little funnyly: "The president's chief of staff is so enthusiastic, it must be because he took money."

Su Cheng coughed lightly.The information bureau will often check the employee information in the group, and Zhang Li's review is also passed.However, the less people know about the "fund exchange" the better, but Zhang Li guessed it right.

The chief of staff's package fee is 5 US dollars, which is hundreds of times his personal salary. The enthusiasm is natural. ..

Zhang Li didn't quite understand the meaning of Su Cheng's cough, and said with a smile: "Kazakhs are very friendly to us Chinese. I met a young man from Kazakhstan a few days ago, and he asked me about Chinese kung fu. He said where to go to China?" It’s a school where you can get famous teachers. By the way, they seem to have Chinese Film Week and Chinese TV Week. Jet Li and Bruce Lee’s movies are often shown..."

He said a few words to himself, and seeing that Sioux City was not interested, he turned around and said, "The Kazakh officials I met recently are all very kind, they just like to take advantage of small things. When I was in the car that day, I saw Lao Yang give me a hand. Jing $10. Put that in a jingle. Well, don't know what the president is like."

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, he really lacked the interest in preaching.There is nothing he can do about Zhang Li's carefree character.

Unlike the college students who graduated in the late 80s, the students who graduated in the early 90s already have a considerable so-called "free thinking", which is common in students in the past.It's getting harder to see.

Zhang Li is one of the Mavericks recruited by Dahua.He started to learn Russian in junior high school, and then learned English in college. Besides, he can speak a little Japanese.Coupled with the popular major of economic management, Zhang Li can easily choose the company and unit he likes in the recruitment market.In the end, I chose Dahua Industrial. Although it is because of Dahua's treatment and welfare policies, it cannot help but have romantic feelings in it.After all, today's Dahua.It has become a banner among Chinese enterprises.

However, perhaps because of his strong ability, Zhang Li didn't seem to care much about the company's constraints.It's not a big deal in normal seasons. Dahua adheres to the tradition of inclusiveness in Sioux City, and is very tolerant of employees' personalities.

But when it comes to bribing foreign politicians, Zhang Li's jokes are a bit dangerous.

Su Cheng secretly reflected: After returning home, Zhang Li needs to be replaced with a position that suits him. It is not enough to just consider his foreign language proficiency, and the human resources department should also make some adjustments. there is a problem.The next time you go out, you still need to bring a familiar translator.

Zhang Li didn't know that he was about to cause a small earthquake in the human resources department of Dahua Group by walking around with no brains. He still smiled to himself, a little heartless.

About 10 minutes later, another staff member from the presidential palace came out, and said with a smile on his face: "Please come with me, Mr. President. Mr. President is waiting for you in his study. The chief guard will check your weapons. If you carry it, just leave it to me now."

"No weapons. Is Mr. President alone?" Su Cheng understood a little when he heard him talk about the study room.

The aide nodded and said "yes".

"How's his English? Does he need a translator?"

"Mr. President is very proficient in English."

"Then I'll go in alone." Su Cheng took the bag from Zhang Li and said, "You wait outside the presidential palace and tell Gu Hongjun."

With the previous paragraph, Su Cheng didn't want a brat like Zhang Li to have any more confidential information.

Zhang Li didn't understand, so he agreed and went.

Su Cheng tipped his bag, and continued to speak English: "Lead the way."

In the bag are prepared bearer bonds, a total of 100 million U.S. dollars, which is an appetizer for the President of Kazakhstan.There are not a few foreign companies spying on the oil in the Caspian Sea, and there are not few foreign companies that spend money.In fact, in Central Asian countries, if you want to get a project without spending money, that is just a joke. It is a waste of time for such a company that does not meet the local conditions to come out to play oil exploration. It is better to open a petroleum school to cheat students of money.

In Central Asia, officialdom is a big market.Nearly 10 years of political chaos have created a generation of "fair trade" officials in Central Asia. No matter what the request is, as long as there is a suitable price, the officials will always find a way to fulfill it. Make sure to find a way to mess around.Some haggling may be required during the period, but don’t you also need to haggle for products before Macy’s clearly marked prices.

In terms of professional ethics, officials in Central Asia are exemplary. As long as they receive money and make promises, they seldom go back on their word, which is commendable.

After a few steps, he arrived at the attendant's room.When the guards were checking, they intentionally did not open Su Cheng's purse, but used their equipment to check repeatedly.

Finally, the chief guard nodded to Su Cheng.

Entering the study room, the first thing you see is a huge tapestry with a fluffy painting of a certain historical story. The length is more than ten meters. There are at least hundreds of villains in it. You can tell that it is expensive at first glance.

Nazarbayev is sitting upright, seemingly reading a book.

This is an old-looking Central Asian, Mongolian race, yellow skin, black hair, small eyes.The arms are strong and powerful.To Sioux City, it feels more like a workshop director in a state-owned enterprise factory.

Seeing him come in, Nazarbayev took off his glasses.Standing up, he smiled and said, "It's the chairman of Dahua Industrial, Sioux City, let's sit down and talk."

He walked around the big writing desk and sat on the sofa in the middle of the room, looking at each other across the coffee table from Su Cheng.

Su Cheng leaned forward and said, "Dahua's trip is to explore the feasibility of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline."

"I heard about it." Nazarbayev had already received a "donation" of money earlier, and he leaned back in his chair very relaxedly.Asked: "Dahua Industrial, has it been authorized by the Chinese government?"

"No formal authorization yet."

"Oh, then whose agent am I talking to?" Nazarbayev is very familiar with China.His life has been through.About the same as Chinese leaders in the 90s.He first worked in a factory, then threw himself into the arms of the party group, became the secretary of the party committee of Karaganda, and finally became the secretary of the Kazakhstan Soviet.finally.Kazakhstan du li.He was again elected president of Kazakhstan by overwhelming votes.

As far as Su Cheng knew, he would sit in this position for many more years.The entire Kazakhstan has not changed its president since du li.Nazarbayev's leadership and judgment on Kazakhstan are also well-known. It is really not easy for a Central Asian country to develop stably and at a faster rate than surrounding countries.

Later Nazarbayev's popularity in Kazakhstan.Probably to surpass Putin's reputation in Russia.However, Nazarbayev in 1993.He has only been on stage for 2 years, and his seat is not secure. In the process of foreign cooperation, he must be cautious.

Sioux City didn't pull the tiger's flag, and said calmly: "I'm not anyone's agent, I'm from du li. Of course, I got some support in China, and I still have a few chances to push for the completion of the China-Kazakhstan line." I can grasp it."

"A purely Chinese private company?"

"Yes." Su Cheng's tone did not change at all.

Nazarbayev picked up the teacup, pretended to be drinking water, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid an oil pipeline cannot be supported by a purely private enterprise. Your supporters should choose an appropriate one." For occasions like this, first ask for the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline, and then we will talk about specific issues.”

Nazarbayev only met Sioux City for the sake of buying the road money.However, when it comes to pipelines, he has no intention of accommodating.The so-called appropriate occasion is a diplomatic occasion. It is very difficult for such a thing to happen in the absence of a unified caliber within PetroChina.Moreover, it deviated from Sioux City's plan.

Su Cheng put his hand on the bag, and didn't push it out immediately, but said: "Your request is reasonable, but in our country, when it comes to oil pipelines, we are more inclined to China-Russia oil pipelines."

"Then what do you mean looking for me?"

"I think Russia's demands are too many and not sincere enough. Moreover, an oil pipeline has an annual throughput capacity of only 00 million to 5000 million tons. Even if Russia sells more oil than we need, it is nothing but a spectacle. , it is better to first build an oil pipeline to Kazakhstan to meet the current demand.” Sioux City intends to point out 00 million tons, which is twice the initial goal of the Anda-Dalian line. The temptation for Nazarbayev is obviously.

He didn't do anything about chasing customers, but he didn't intend to nod, but said slowly: "Can you guarantee the oil demand of 00 million tons per year?"

"Absolutely. Dahua Industrial once signed a natural gas underwriting agreement with the UAE government, with a total amount of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. Five years ago, the international natural gas market was more difficult to sell than it is now. Dahua Industrial once lost money, but still persisted , completed the goal. If Your Excellency the President requests, we can definitely sign an offtake contract of 5 million tons of oil." Sioux City is still very convincing when it comes to the UAE's natural gas offtake agreement.

Nazarbayev probably also read similar information, and after listening to Sioux City's emphasis, he said, "Assuming, assuming we sign an agreement, you cannot sell oil to regions outside of China."

Oil is much easier to sell than gas, so what Kazakhstan needs are consumers, not middlemen.

Su Cheng immediately agreed, and said: "The conditions that Dahua Industrial can agree to. In this case, can we ask the Kazakhstan side to show goodwill first? To be honest, in China, companies that support the construction of Sino-Russian oil pipelines are more We who support the construction of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline have stronger political power. If Kazakhstan can support the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline, it will reduce our pressure and advance the matter faster.”

"However, it may put Kazakhstan at a disadvantage in the negotiations." Nazarbayev clarified the crux in a low voice.
