4. Kaifu Junki will visit China next month and plans to actively negotiate on further expanding the scale of loans to China (historical facts, a package of loans of 1300 billion yen was subsequently brought in).
5. Following the visits of leaders of island countries, Britain, Italy and other countries to China, most Western countries resumed providing development assistance and export credit to China, and investment in China continued to grow, with the third climax of attracting foreign direct investment after 1985 and 1988. As of June this year, China approved 6 foreign investment projects (excluding offshore oil cooperative development projects), with a foreign direct investment agreement amount of US$12968 billion and actual investment amount of US$118.9 billion, with annual growth rates of 41.9%, 78.4% and 85.7% respectively. By the end of 29.4, the cumulative foreign investment of foreign-invested enterprises in China reached US$1991 billion. In 203, more than 1991 foreign-invested enterprises were newly registered in China's industrial and commercial administrative agencies, an increase of 12400% over 1990.

6. As of yesterday, after a year and a half, the US$975 million loan provided by the Export-Import Bank of America to China National Offshore Oil Corporation has been fully received.

7. After seven days of negotiations, the Qilu Petroleum Bureau and CNOOC Tianjin Branch officially reached a joint construction agreement on the laying of the Tianjin-Dezhou oil and gas pipeline. The "North China Petrochemical Industry Belt Land Pipeline Raw Material Transportation Guarantee Network" plan was formally proposed. To cooperate with the plan, the number of CNOOC Tianjin Branch's land terminals is planned to be expanded to 4.

8...

Sighing silently, Yang Mo put the report back on the table and pinched his eyebrows.

If the five years from 1989 to 1994 were the most turbulent five years after China's reform and opening up, then the two years from 1991 to 1992 were definitely the most treacherous and changeable period of high waves and high tides.

If you have a relatively sensitive sense of information, you will find that every single piece of content published in today's newspaper is a meaningful sign of the times.

A few years ago, any one of these pieces of news would have been enough to cause quite a stir, let alone seven pieces of news being released at the same time in one day?

chaos!

Separate!

This is Yang Mo’s biggest feeling at the moment.

………………

Knock knock~
Just as Yang Mo was trying to analyze the game behind this information and the changes in the strength of both sides, his secretary Zhuo Junyue knocked on the door gently and reported in a low voice: "Assistant Zhuo is here."

Hearing this, Yang Mo nodded and said, "Let her in."

After a while, Zhuo Mali, who was wearing a black skirt suit and a simple white shirt with a small collar, walked in with a glare: "Boss Yang!"

Yang Mo stood up, walked to the tea table, and waved his hand: "Don't call me Mr. Yang all day long. When there are no outsiders around, just call me Boss or Brother. It's all fine."

When Zhuo Mali heard this, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and a feeling of relaxation suddenly spread throughout her body.

"Oh~ I told you, Yang cannot grow alone and Yin cannot grow alone; now that the eldest sister of the Mu family is back, your spirit has changed."

Zhuo Mali took the main seat at the tea table without hesitation. She took out a few pottery jars from the cabinet with familiarity and winked at Yang Mo with a kind of vulgarity that is unique to married people. "I was wondering why I didn't see the eldest sister of the Mu family today. The anger that has been suppressed for three or four months has suddenly come out. How can the eldest sister of the Mu family, who is as young as a flower bud, withstand such torture... Is she still lying in bed?"

Having long been accustomed to the dirty talk of this Northeastern peach, Yang Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Xiao Ya doesn't hold a position in the Urban Property Fund Company. If she has nothing to do, it would be strange if you could see her in this office building!"

Pointing casually at a black thin-shell pottery jar, Yang Mo lazily took out a cigarette and lit it: "Besides, Xiaoya came back for an important mission this time. Even if you are on duty at Dahua Company, it is normal that you can't see her these few days."

When Zhuo Mali heard Yang Mo's most personal address to Miss Mu, and then glanced at Yang Mo's relaxed look, which had never appeared during working hours in the past, she seemed to feel something in her heart.

His hands did not pause at all, and he skillfully opened the can, filled the teapot, and boiled water: "Brother, do you mean that the eldest sister of the Mu family has already started to contact those island companies about the 50 billion?"

With a hint of hesitation on her face, Zhuo Mali leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice: "The flood in East China is not over yet, and the establishment of the Shandong-Hebei-Henan industrial economic cooperation framework has not yet appeared. Isn't it too early to connect with the 50 billion now?"

Even though he had a delicious meal of meat last night, Yang Mo still felt a little dry in the mouth when he saw the fleeting whiteness of Zhuo Mali when she leaned over.

Damn it, who invented the white shirt? With a figure as unreasonable as Peach's, wouldn't it be fatal to wear this thing in the summer if you see it at close range?
Yang Mo moved his eyes slightly with embarrassment and shook his head: "Everything is prepared, and if it is not prepared, it will be abandoned. You may not be clear about some situations now. Judging from the wind direction, at least the establishment of the Shandong-Hebei-Henan Industrial Economic Cooperation Framework should not have much resistance. On the contrary, there may be some unknown variables on the island country that seems to be the most reliable... So the sooner we contact and reach a consensus, the better it will be for us."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to his desk, picked up the report and placed it in front of Zhuomali.

Looking at the report in front of her, which represented her goal for a certain period of time in the future and which she was not qualified to read at the moment, and thinking of her father who was still far away in the Middle East, Zhuomali's mood suddenly became complicated.

After taking a deep look at Yang Mo, Zhuo Mali did not say anything stupid like "My current level is not high enough", but picked up the thin-looking newspaper and read it word by word.

hiss~!

Ten minutes later, Zhuo Mali looked up and took a breath. "The headquarters is going to work with CNOOC Jinmen Branch to build a land pipeline raw material transportation guarantee network for the entire North China petrochemical industry belt?"

When she saw this message, she immediately understood why Yang Mo said that there shouldn't be much resistance to establishing a Shandong-Hebei-Henan industrial and economic cooperation framework.

As one of the four major industrial raw materials, the importance of a network that can conveniently and massively transport low-cost, high-quality oil and gas is obvious to any fool. In addition, the reiteration of the words "North China Petrochemical Industry Belt" after several years is clearly hinting at some major trends... If the competent authorities of cities such as Cangzhou, Hengshui and Puyang still cannot see the opportunities therein, then everyone should just forget about it.

But this isn’t the only big news in this message.

You know, although CNOOC was listed as one of the three oil giants in later generations, at this moment, they can only be regarded as the little brother in the system. The only difference is that this little brother is more optimistic and more favored.

Therefore, as the second brother, the Dongying Command suddenly reached such a strategic cooperation project with the Tianjin Branch of CNOOC in such a short time. There is only one explanation... The Dongying Command finally took sides.

Realizing this, Zhuo Mali was shocked. She was not the kind of person who was ignorant of the reality, so she naturally knew what this change meant.

only……

If I remember correctly, Mr. Wang from the drilling company seems to be from the Southern Group, right?
Once a conflict arises between the Drilling Company and the Dongying Command over some "small positions", what will happen to Dahua Company, which is jointly established by the two units, and Yang Mo, whose personnel file is still attached to the Drilling Company?
When Zhuo Mali thought of Yang Mo's recent trip to Dongying, and the subsequent proposal of the Tianjin-Dezhou oil and gas pipeline, and the later Shandong-Hebei-Henan industrial and economic cooperation framework, her mind was in a mess.

Even though she thought she was not a shallow thinker, she had to admit that she really couldn't understand the man in front of her who was two years younger than her. But since she was promoted to the assistant general manager of the Urban Property Fund Company, Zhuo Mali had at least some business literacy, so she quickly sorted out her mood, went through all the heavy news in the newspaper in her mind, and after building a rough logical framework, she immediately understood why Yang Mo said that the island country funds that seemed to be the most stable were very likely to have some unknown variables.

After a moment of silence, Zhuo Mali asked, "Brother, what are your thoughts now? Do you need me to adjust the focus of my recent work and fully assist the eldest sister of the Mu family in the negotiations with those island companies?"

She had previously presided over the negotiations for a series of projects such as the Sino-Japanese pharmaceutical factory and the GAP planting of Chinese medicinal materials. Therefore, she thought that Yang Mo called her over today to borrow her rich experience in negotiations with Japan to help speed up the promotion of the 50 billion forward contract... Kaifu Junki's visit to China is a critical time node. If possible, it would be best to finalize the framework agreement before that.

Hearing this, Yang Mo shook his head. "Xiao Ya is the person in charge of the brand's overseas expansion plan. She has been in Tokyo for more than half a year. When it comes to negotiating with Japanese companies, I guess there is no one in the company with more experience than her. Moreover, it would be more appropriate to promote this matter under the name of the China-Japan Economic Promotion Association. Therefore, Sister Zhuo, you don't need to intervene... Even if the negotiations really encounter a bottleneck, it will be useless for you to intervene. At that time, I will have to come forward in person."

You don't need me to participate in the negotiations?

Zhuo Mali was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

That's right. Miss Mu has been dealing with various Japanese companies in Tokyo all day long for the past six months. Her work is not as simple as selling self-branded products in the island country. When it comes to negotiation experience for large and small projects, I'm afraid she has already left herself behind so much that she can't even see the parking lights.

Moreover, unless authorized by Yang Mo, the only identity that qualified him to sit at the negotiation table was "Assistant to the General Manager of Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company". Unfortunately, the Urban Property Fund Company had a special nature, and it was best not to directly participate in foreign-related negotiations. Therefore, the most appropriate option was to reach a consensus in the China-Japan Economic Promotion Association and then have the China-Japan Economic Promotion Association take the lead in organizing bilateral negotiations. He would have no chance of sitting at the negotiation table at all.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Mali suppressed the small sense of loss in her heart and looked at Yang Mo with some doubts: "Then what do I need to do?"

Yang Mo pointed to the kettle that had already boiled, indicating that the water would get cold if he didn't make tea. "Sister Zhuo, I've said that preparation is the key to success, while lack of preparation leads to failure. Although the flood in East China has not subsided, the organization's application for post-disaster reconstruction assistance in Dezhou has not been approved, and even the connection work between Puyang, Shangqiu, Cangzhou and other cities is still in progress, the preparations we should make still need to be detailed and in place... and they must be detailed and in place."

"If we wait until the wind has already set its direction and the opportunity opens up to us before hastily responding step by step, then under the rules, the initiative will no longer be in my hands. I hope Sister Zhuo will always remember this truth."

Hearing Yang Mo's earnest words of warning, Zhuo Mali suppressed the emotion on her face and nodded seriously.

He who calculates more wins, he who raises more funds wins; this is a very simple truth, but few people can really do it... it's too difficult.

But Yang Mo's attitude today was completely different from the past, telling him clearly that the ship he was on was heading for an unprecedented storm. If he could break through the waves, he would have a bright future that he could hardly imagine; but if he could not withstand the turbulent waves ahead, the ship would capsize and everyone on board would die.
Therefore, everyone on board needs to respond with all their strength and at all costs. No matter how difficult or tiring it is, they have to grit their teeth and hold on.

Seeing that Zhuo Mali understood her hint, Yang Mo nodded, but turned around and asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Since it was made clear that the leadership accountability system would be implemented in the tertiary industry units under Dahua Company, Du Chuanming has been in charge of the reform work for more than half a year... Sister Zhuo, what is your evaluation?"

Although Du Chuanming's work would be formally reported to Yang Mo on a regular basis, Yang Mo obviously did not ask about the work performance itself; and among the senior executives of Dahua Company, only Zhuo Mali could chat with the directors of various departments in private, and she had also personally participated in the management reform work of some tertiary industry units with Du Chuanming. Therefore, her evaluation would undoubtedly be more comprehensive and objective.

Zhuo Mali thought about it for a moment and gave her own answer: "Old Du is definitely capable. After more than half a year of management reform, he has also found a fairly effective way of working.

"But he is like most people from Dongying. He sees things too clearly and cares too much about the cause and effect. As a result, he seems to be a little timid in doing things... If you, my brother, hadn't forced him to preside over the management reform of those tertiary industry units, he really didn't dare to offend you. Maybe he would have already used illness as an excuse to recuperate."

At this point, Zhuo Mali sighed softly: "To be fair, brother, don't blame him."

"Although Lao Du was one of the first batch of college graduates after the college entrance examination was restarted, he was also recruited by the headquarters as a special talent. However, times have changed. His identity as a college student is no longer so popular in our system. "

"Since he was assigned to work in the newly established Dahua Company, it is natural that he does not have any strong connections or background. "

"For a person like him, no matter how outstanding his work ability is, unless he is as good as Sun Wukong, any god or Buddha in the sky can make him perish in the world with just a flick of his finger."

"So, if you let him preside over the management reform of those tertiary industry units, it is no different from just pulling a gatekeeper from the South Heaven Gate to the lower world to exorcise monsters near Lingshan... Even if he seems a little timid in doing things, he is already better than more than 95% of people."

Hearing this, Yang Mo nodded slightly: "I know, so even if some tertiary industry units' management reforms are implemented in a form that outweighs the content, I have never really criticized them."

After finishing speaking, he took the tea handed to him by Zhuo Mali and took a sip: "Sister Zhuo, you said that the reason why Du Chuanming is so hesitant now is nothing more than being afraid of the various causes and effects of the headquarters... What you mean is that in fact, this person's ability is still worthy of recognition, but there are too many constraints at the moment, right?"

Hearing Yang Mo's question, Zhuo Mali hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded her head: "I have worked with Lao Du for a while in this area. Although he often complained to me, he also talked about his original plans and ideas several times... It can be seen that he is still capable in this area."

Since Yang Mo asked her about her evaluation and opinion of Du Chuanming, it was obvious that her answer, which was full of recommendation, would inevitably have consequences.

But she doesn't regret it.

To be honest, she always felt that Yang Mo's talent selection criteria were too harsh. To gain his approval was even more difficult than passing five levels and killing six generals.

God have mercy on you. Everyone knows that with Yang Mo's ability and vision, it is understandable that he has higher requirements for his subordinates. But if you use the same standards for selecting partners to select subordinates, how many people can really meet the standards?
Therefore, even though she knew that Du Chuanming's lack of decisiveness at work would hardly win Yang Mo's favor, she did not regret recommending Du Chuanming.

Everyone is well aware of Yang Mo's talent dilemma. A talent like Du Chuanming is already something that everyone would be vying for. In the current situation where the situation is turbulent, if even someone like Du Chuanming is considered unusable, then Yang Mo will really have no one else to use.

Hearing Zhuo Mali's biased words, Yang Mo nodded slightly, "It's good that he has ideas and abilities. As for being timid... Isn't Du Chuanming afraid of offending some people in the Dongying Command? It's simple. Let him jump out of the oil system and take charge of this related work."

As he spoke, Yang Mo tilted his head lazily: "Heh, if he's not in this system, then he doesn't have to worry about being involved in those causes and effects; if he still can't produce results in the shortest possible time... I think he can get out!"

! ! ! ? ? ?
Zhuo Mali was not frightened by Yang Mo's implication of collective responsibility. Instead, she looked incredulous: "Let Lao Du jump out of the oil system to take charge of this related work? Brother, what do you mean...?"

Yang Mo laughed heartlessly: "Sister Zhuo, I said that the preparations we should make must be detailed and in place."

"As the saying goes, a good blacksmith must have his own tools. Once the application to support the reconstruction of the disaster area is approved, with so many cities and regions participating, even though Texas will have great initiative, we cannot be too biased under the rules... After all, who has the greater production capacity, who has the more convincing products, who has more say and the power to regulate the game."

"Therefore, these state-owned enterprises in Dezhou need to quickly cure their old habit of procrastination, otherwise they will end up being a burden for others."

At this point, Yang Mo smiled meaningfully: "Of course, more importantly, this plan requires the efforts of the entire state of Texas to be fully guaranteed; since it is a city-wide effort, it should not be limited to state-owned enterprises that can participate;"

"So, what Lao Du is doing is not only to give those state-owned enterprises a chance, but also a reason... a reason that can openly shut everyone up... Sister Zhuo, do you understand the key to this?"

A legitimate and bright reason to shut others up?
Zhuomali only thought for a moment and reacted instantly.

hiss……
