super energy power

The negotiation on the Sino-Russian oil pipeline is not only difficult, it can be described as a marathon on the tip of a knife.

Russia is a fragile energy state.It has a vast territory and abundant resources, but after searching all over Russia, the only thing that can really serve as an international currency is energy, more precisely, oil.Even expensive diamonds and caviar cannot be compared with petroleum currency in terms of total volume.This was true of the Soviet Union under Stalin, and it was true of the Soviet Union after World War II. There is no difference in this regard between the Russia of Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Gorbachev, or Yeltsin and Putin.

Russia or the Soviet Union needs a lot of things... Grain and machinery are all commodities they buy in bulk.In fact, if the grain was not purchased in large quantities, the Soviet Union would starve to death every year. In the 60s, the Soviet Union purchased grain in large quantities for the first time, spending one-third of the country's gold reserves in one go.Khrushchev said convincingly: For a big country like ours, it is unimaginable to use gold to buy food, and we must reverse this phenomenon.

When Khrushchev said this, he was full of ambition, but without any meaning.What really saved the Soviets from starvation was still the new technology and new discoveries of the oil industry, not their terrible agricultural technology.

Since then, the Soviet Union has imported more and more grains, and all of this can only be supported by oil, and only oil...

Nearly a hundred years of history has made Russia's politics and economy unbearably entwined with the oil behemoth.What do you rely on for food?Petroleum; What does it depend on to maintain the centripetal force of the member countries?Cheap oil; where does the budget for the military race come from?Only oil.

After the disintegration of Russia, it seems that there is nothing to do, but it is still oil that really attracts foreign investors.

Such a country is open-minded on the surface and welcomes investors from all over the world. Any energy investor, like Zhang Changting who represents Daqing Petroleum Company, will be treated solemnly and warmly when he first arrives in Russia.

However.Once things have progressed to a substantive level, Russian politicians, officials and the public began to worry endlessly.

In the eyes of Russians, foreign investors exploiting oil in Russia is like having their own blood taken away.

That's right.If oil is regarded as the blood of Russia, then this country is a country that relies on selling blood to survive.They're selling oil.It's like worrying about selling your own blood.

Russians would be as angry as blood sellers who have had their blood stolen if someone tried to make a fortune out of Russian energy deals.

In desperation.The Russians can only continue to sell its oil.However, that doesn't mean they like it that way, like any blood seller, but they're willing to choose another life if given the slightest chance.

Zhang Changting walked on the site where the Soviet Union Big Brother used to be. What he breathed in his nose was the smell of the dead body of the Soviet Union Big Brother. What he saw in his eyes was the unyielding cell wall of the Soviet Union Big Brother. What he touched with his palm was the restless soul of the Soviet Union Big Brother. Nothing can be handled smoothly.

The Russian Yukos company that proposed the Anda line.There is absolutely no intention of urging the Russian government.The Jewish boss Khodorkovsky's main goal is to increase production of his oil company.For him, selling oil to China is a long-term and meaningful goal.However, the task of increasing production of your own company is the most important.

Zhang Changting visited several times, but finally did not see Khodorkovsky.The answer he got from Yukos was "wait" which did not reassure him.

After Zhang Changting stayed for a little longer, he gradually realized the situation of Yukos.Use a company to implement the oil pipeline between the two countries.The company has to be extremely powerful.

Unlike the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline, the huge Russian Federation is full of contempt for China and the former Soviet Union's member countries in addition to being full of longing for Europe.Intellectually, they can see the prospects of the Chinese market and the scale of oil consumption, however.Regardless of whether it is judged by first come, first come, or importance, the Russian Federation will not get involved in the Sino-Russian oil pipeline until the Russian-European oil pipeline has some eyebrows.

If it is replaced by Yukos, which is strong enough to dare to challenge Putin 10 years later, they are capable of independently promoting the Anta line.If the weak Russia is replaced by an even weaker Kazakhstan, the Daqing Oilfield and the background of China National Petroleum Corporation are also eligible to continue the Anta Line.

However.In this way, when the two independent conditions are not met, the Anda line can only wait for a suitable opportunity.

In Russia in 93, there may have been one or two suitable opportunities. Zhang Changting himself had no information to support, and came to Moscow in a hurry. After hesitating for a month, he finally booked a return ticket.

The general manager is a human stamp most of the time, but it can't do without it.

When he arrived at the airport, Zhang Changting was not in a good mood. He threw the briefcase to the secretary and sat by the window by himself, staring at the white butt of the plane in a daze.

"Mr. Zhang is in a good mood." A young man sat down next to him with a "thud".

The young man had a brand-new high-end suit and a valuable diamond-encrusted watch, and he was Chinese at the Moscow airport. Although Zhang Changting was in a bad mood, he just glanced at him without saying a word.

The young man raised his legs and said, "Mr. Zhang may not have met me before. Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Xing, and I represent the Su family and the Wang family."

"Su family and Wang family?" Zhang Changting thought quickly.

"That's right, the Su family and the Wang family."

"Which Su family is it?"

Su Xing pointed his finger upwards and said, "That's the Su family."

"Oh..." Zhang Changting solemnly asked, "What do you mean by representative?"

"I can help you get Russia's promise." Unlike Su Cheng, when Su Xing spoke, he always had a taste of Laozi being number one in the world.

Zhang Changting smiled unhappily, and said, "How can I help?"

Looking at Su Xing's age and style, Zhang Changting was full of distrust.

Su Xing grinned, waved back, and said, "I'll find someone to tell you."

Zhang Changting's brows were almost twisted into Sichuan characters.

After a while, Su Yaping with big ears appeared in front of Zhang Changting.

Su Xing said happily: "I said it earlier, how difficult it is to determine the cooperation."

Su Yaping glanced at him helplessly, turned to Zhang Changting and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I am Su Yaping, the current chairman of Nanqing Group. It is a great honor for us to cooperate with Daqing Oilfield."

"Wait, what cooperation?" Zhang Changting was completely confused.

Su Yaping's expression changed slightly, and his head turned to Su Xing again.

Su Xing said indifferently: "Looking at his appearance, he obviously agreed to cooperate. Didn't we just talk about it, you can discuss the details?"

Su Yaping's heart is full of fire, and it's not easy to show it. He originally trusted his nephew, but he only heard that after he was double-opened, he became more and more out of tune. He didn't realize that he was so out of tune. degree.If I knew this earlier, why would I give him a chance to practice...

Standing in front of Zhang Changting, he didn't have much to say, so he covered it up and asked, "What did you talk about just now?"

"That's all, I'll leave the details to you." Su Xing shook his hands, looking like a young master.

Zhang Changting twisted his nose and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Su Yaping held back and did not burst out.Said: "Sorry, we want to help you."

"what?"

"We will help you get a commitment from the Russian government on the Sino-Russian oil pipeline..."

"I've said this part." Su Xing interrupted Su Yaping, quite dissatisfied.

Su Yaping could only be more dissatisfied, and he silently recited Buddhist scriptures several times before he calmed down.

At this moment, Zhang Changting was quite impatient.

Su Yaping hurriedly said: "Let me be straightforward. As far as we know, Yukos has found an oilfield high-yield expert named Sherinov. His task is to assist Yukos to solve the problem of oil production. Not only Yukos Coase Corporation and many Russian oil businessmen are looking for ways to increase oil production. Therefore, if Daqing Oilfield can help the Russians, it will not be so difficult to ask them to come forward to agree to the Anda-Dalian line.”

Oil companies will always need to increase production, and this is especially true for the fledgling Russian Federation.During Zhang Changting's stay in Moscow, he could feel the shortage of supplies in Russia.Without oil exports, Russia, based on the legacy of the collapsed Soviet Union, can only wait for a new round of collapse.

Restoring the turbulent Russian oil industry to Soviet-era levels has been a priority for at least the last two years.

Zhang Changting pondered for a while, then asked: "How to solve the problem of oil production?"

"We can do a construction aid project. People from Daqing Oilfield will go to Russia to work." Su Yaping said excitedly, and said: "Don't worry about the construction aid project, we have done it properly here. Solve the problem of oil production On the other hand, if you have new technologies, you can try them out, and besides, helping the Russians dig more wells will attract good impressions.”

"Where do I have any new technology? Besides, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to send people to explore oil wells. What if I assist their two drilling teams?" Zhang Changting has no confidence at all.

Zhang Changting shook his head and said, "It's not two drilling teams, but 2. Moreover, we provide equipment and logistics by ourselves."

Zhang Changting's eyes widened, and he laughed angrily, "Do you know how much a 100 drilling crew costs?"

"It doesn't matter how much it costs, the more money you make for the Russians, the more they're willing to help."

Zhang Changting hesitated for a moment and said, "Sending the drilling team will affect Daqing's own work. How much can they pay?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Su Xing's face: "How much will you pay? Of course it's free. That's it, we have to help you find other ways."
