The news that Nazarbayev took the initiative to sell the good news spread to China, but did not immediately attract any response. Only a few media made introductions in the size of tofu cubes.Basically, they are pure introductions, not to mention no comments, not even an editor's note.

From the perspective of the outside world, Chinese officials seem to be stunned, or they don't care about this matter at all.

However, the truth of the facts is often contrary to the appearance.

The media is not not reporting, but not allowed to report.Readers don't really like to watch such diplomatic incidents, and the country pays close attention to them. Naturally, the media can avoid causing trouble without causing trouble.

Therefore, the domestic performance is a calm and indifferent.

But in private, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and higher levels are basically crazy busy.

what happened?

Why did Kazakhstan suddenly start selling?

Questions and plausible answers were first circulated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.For some young people, all the words "the benevolent is invincible" come to mind.

If it weren't for the fact that "the benevolent is invincible", how could the largest country in Central Asia and the sweet pastry in the eyes of European and American countries suddenly invite China to develop oil pipelines?

This is simply pie in the sky.

Especially the director in charge of the Central Asia region, originally followed the director to the French embassy to make a living, but the headquarters called and asked, "Have you been in Central Asia recently, have you contacted high-level officials in Kazakhstan?"

The director, who didn't know anything, was dumbfounded, and said, "I'm a department-level cadre, what qualifications do I have to contact high-level officials in Kazakhstan?"

The person over there "got it", hung up the phone, crossed out a name on the list with a ballpoint pen, and continued to make another call.

There is no way, the minister is anxious for news, and the officials below are even more anxious.

At such a critical juncture, no one asked the first eyewitness to the incident, the foreign ministry official dispatched to Kuala Lumpur for the Asia Petroleum Summit.

If anyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows a little about the situation, it is this official who has been publicized by Dahua.

Although not much is known.But if the ministry could remember to ask him, they would naturally know that this matter had something to do with Dahua Industry.

However, it is normal for headquarters officials to look down on expatriate officials. It is already troublesome enough to call the expatriate officials in Central Asia to inquire about matters in Central Asia. Who would think of asking the young cadres in Malaysia participating in the meeting.

Come and go.The delivery of the message is delayed.

It was not until the evening of that day that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received information from other channels.Got the news: It is possible that Dahua Industrial PR has contacted Kazakhstan.

They brought the news excitedly, and went to the courtyard to deal with errands. A word from the leader made people ask stupidly: How about public relations?What is the end result?

Yeah, what about PR!what's the result!

It is also a Central Asian country, but Kazakhstan is a regional focus.They not only have oil and natural gas, but also have strong military and political influence.

The Soviet Red Army left them 0 regular troops, one-fifth of nuclear weapons, and more than [-] square kilometers of land.In addition, although the light industry left over from the Soviet Union is equally weak, the heavy industry is indeed good.Among the five Central Asian countries, Kazakhstan is the obvious leader, and Nazarbayev is also known for his wit and wit.

Not to mention that China's injection of power in Central Asia is not enough, even if it has enough power, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can't get oil pipelines...those thousands of kilometers of oil pipelines across the two countries.Not only the cooperation of PetroChina is needed, but also the cooperation of powerful ministries and commissions such as the Development and Reform Commission. Apart from PetroChina itself, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will never be contaminated with such troubles.However, it is one thing for them not to be contaminated, how does a private enterprise accomplish it.It's another thing.

If CNPC were to build the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline, even if the officials who communicated wanted to keep it secret, they would not be able to escape, and the ability of the administrative agency to keep it secret was like a sieve.But private companies are different. So many losers come to Central Asia to make a fortune, who can the embassy stop?Even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew what Dahua Industry was doing in Kazakhstan, it would not be too concerned.

The problem is that.When the leaders want to know the situation, they also ask three questions.

But the leader must return it.

To know the news about Dahua Industrial, there is no better way to ask Sioux City.

However, Sioux Cheng and his executives are all in Kazakhstan. If you ask the embassy staff there, they will not be able to contact them for a while.

In the end, Jiao Guoping, the newly appointed deputy director of the European Department of the Ministry, volunteered and said that he could contact Sioux City.

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't say anything, and impatiently sent him to the plane.

From Beijing*Beijing to Urum*qi, and then fly to Almaty, the small plane in the 90s, needless to say, the turbulence and noise, the time alone is unbearable, this is a hard seat for the whole journey!

When he arrived in Almaty, Jiao Guoping went straight to the temporary residence of Dahua Industrial without delay, and said at the door: "I am an old friend of your Chairman Su, and now I want to see him."

Jiao Guoping rubbed his hands and looked at the guard eagerly.The relationship with Sioux City can't be said to be harmonious, but it can be regarded as an acquaintance. Of course, this time he came here not to solve the difficulties of the leaders of the headquarters, but to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Jiao Guoping is a Chinese diplomat who is quite familiar with Central Asia, so he clearly knows that Kazakhstan is undoubtedly the core of Central Asia.Whether it is international status or geopolitics, if you want to gain a foothold in Central Asia, you cannot do without Kazakhstan.Therefore, if an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strong relations with Kazakhstan, he can decide many things in the Asia Department.Jiao Guoping is the deputy director of the European Department, but this does not affect him using the incompetence of the Asian Department as a stepping stone to seek the reputation of a "Central Asian".

Long and troublesome things like oil pipelines are a burden to others, but Jiao Guoping is not necessarily the same.Because he is not from the Asia Department, he doesn't have to worry about troublesome things. He just needs to make good use of the opportunity and make a few big moves, so he can't be more active.

He was active, but the guards invited by Dahua were not so active.The young man who graduated from the sports school lazily put down the Kazakh dictionary in his hand, and said, "Your certificate, letter of introduction."

"Do you still want a letter of introduction?" Jiao Guoping's eyebrows and big eyes were wrinkled together like straws.

"Normally, I don't need it, only when I encounter strange things." The guard opened his mouth and said a few words in Kazakh.Although he is just a small doorman, as long as he learns Kazakh, he can get a high evaluation, and he may be transferred to other departments.According to Dahua's internal promotion route, this is the fastest way for low-educated employees to be promoted, even faster than being a worker.therefore.Even during working hours, the doorman strives to study. Anyway, his job is to upload and issue, and there are more professional people to do security and so on.

Jiao Guoping reluctantly took out his ID card and work permit, and said, "I'm from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I came too urgently. I don't have a letter of introduction, can you accommodate me?"

"Let me ask. Who are you looking for?"

"Su Dong, the chairman of Sioux City?"

"The biggest chairman?" The guard was slightly surprised.

"Yes." Jiao Guoping was full of hope.

With an "oh", the guard picked up the dictionary again and sat down, saying, "Let's go."

"what?"

"Su Dong returned home this morning."

"Going back to China!" Jiao Guoping's eyes widened.

"Look at the time, it's almost here." The guard spoke another string of Kazakh, obviously in the state of learning.

Jiao Guoping was speechless, stunned for a while, gritted his teeth and said to the accompanying embassy driver: "Take me back to the airport, and then help me book a ticket. I want to go back to China."

The beauty of the oil pipeline, the liberal arts student at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs probably hasn't realized it yet, and probably no one from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can realize it.It was also because Jiao Guoping knew Sioux City that he knew about oil pipelines in his early years, so he recommended himself immediately.

However, it has been delayed for a long time, and it is hard to guarantee that anyone will come back to it.There are many smart people in the world, let alone ministries and commissions.Those liberal arts students at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may not understand what an oil pipeline is, but they may not be able to find anything even if they stare at Jiao Guoping.

Jiao Guoping didn't want to lose this opportunity, and the driver of the embassy didn't care anymore, and said, "I can take you to the airport. If you want to book a flight ticket, you have to find the embassy."

"Go to the airport first." There is no convenient mobile phone to use now, and when he arrived at the airport, he called the embassy again.

The embassy is also unwilling to leave immediately after arriving, and spend two extra air tickets for no reason.Jiao Guoping called back to China again and agreed on the reimbursement procedure.Then transfer back to the embassy... After several hours of work, Jiao Guoping finally boarded the plane from Almaty to Chongqing. Thanks to the bad luck, there was an extra flight, otherwise he would have to wait for tomorrow's plane .

Even so, when Jiao Guoping returned to China, it was completely dark, and when he returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Su Cheng had already contacted him.

Jiao Guoping was anxious and irritable, he grabbed a familiar face and asked, "What did Su Cheng say?"

"It's just talking about the oil pipeline from Kazakhstan to China, and there are some local affairs." The familiar face looked at his title of deputy director, and he briefly explained a few sentences.

"What about the Ministry's opinion?"

"It's only been a few hours, what's your opinion?"

Jiao Guoping was overjoyed, said thank you, and ran to the meeting room.

When he arrived at the door, he heard the voice of Sioux City inside. Without thinking, Jiao Guoping rushed in and shouted: "Su Dong, I support Dahua Industrial in developing oil and gas in Central Asia! The construction of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline will not only help Obtaining a long-term and stable supply of crude oil, and reducing dependence on oil from the Middle East and the Strait of Malacca, will make China's oil supply more secure. In addition, the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline can also strengthen the connection between China and Central Asian countries. A good thing that benefits the country and the people!"

The hard work of the past few days seemed to be vomited out along with this breath.

With his back to him, the one sitting in front of a row of leaders was Su Cheng. He turned his head and glanced suspiciously, and found that it was Jiao Guoping, so he repeated in surprise: "You support?"

"Support! I firmly support Chairman Su's China-Kazakhstan line." Jiao Guoping noticed that there were several leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the opposite side, and said indifferently: "I am familiar with the situation in Central Asia. At that time, Comrade Nazarbayev had just secured his position, and it was time to make a decision, and Kazakhstan was also short of funds..."

The leader on the opposite side coughed heavily: "Old Jiao, let me introduce you. This is Director Zhang of the Petroleum Corporation, and Director Lin of the Petroleum Corporation..."

Jiao Guoping just shut up.He's not reckless, it's just that he was too smooth in the past, but not so smooth in the past two years, so he became faintly anxious.

Hearing the name of the National Petroleum Corporation, he came to his senses: Dahua Industrial is a private company, and the Petroleum Corporation is in charge of petroleum in China.

According to the domestic system, whether Dahua can build an oil pipeline is theoretically determined by the Petroleum Corporation.His support seems to be a bit early.

Sure enough, Director Zhang from Daqing said very dissatisfied when he opened his mouth: "Does this comrade know oil pipelines well? A pipeline without even a blueprint has so many benefits?"

If Jiao Guoping knew that there were other units in the conference room, especially people from the Petroleum Corporation, Jiao Guoping might wait and see for a while, but since he had already shouted the banner of "support" excitedly, it would be too cowardly to give in.

Jiao Guoping looked at the faces of the leaders. It seemed that no one reminded him of anything. Considering that the other party was the "director", he didn't care anymore, "haha" laughed, and said with a smile: "My major is not oil, But I also know about some oil pipelines, and most importantly, I spent several years in Central Asia. When the Soviet Union collapsed, I was one of the first diplomats to go to the CIS countries to establish a negotiation process. I It can be said very clearly that the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline is not only meaningful, but also strategically significant..."

Jiao Guoping is an official who lives by his words, and he straightened out his name in one go.

Zhang Changting spent half of his life in technology and half of his life as an official. He spent about the same time as Jiao Guoping on his rhetoric, but as he got older, his brain became less flexible. He obviously thought about it before saying: "He is a private company and is not qualified to be an oil pipeline. , This is a matter between countries, and there is no conclusion within the Petroleum Corporation, so he should not act privately."

According to the system, Zhang Changting's words are correct, and if another official is replaced, he may not say anything.

Jiao Guoping was different. Like Su Cheng, he was Mr. Zhou's aide from the air. He was familiar with the policy direction. He curled his lips and said, "What is emancipating the mind? What is seeking truth from facts? The Petroleum Corporation is hesitant and delays Fighters, but also blame the vanguard generals, what is the reason? Is it still like the planned economy, where you buy a pencil and stamp three stamps? Let me say that China’s reform requires entrepreneurs like Su Dong. Ability, dare to implement! The China-Kazakhstan pipeline is a tangible benefit that Dahua has won for the country. Kazakhstan’s oil fields are full of major powers in the world. It is not easy for Dahua to snatch back an oil pipeline for us! This Zhang Director, if you can't tell the good from the bad, I have a solution, let's open the door, invite some reporters to come and write the whole story in the newspaper, and let the people of the whole country comment on it."
