"Five stars invite the fifth ring, Beijing connects the world, China is opening up, the Yangtze River is open... The glorious flag is flying high... Tell the blue sky, tell the earth, we run towards the future..." At six o'clock in the evening, singing sounded from the factory's tweeter, like a school ringtone, announcing the end of the work that day.

The workers who change shifts and the workers who get off work are like two surging rivers, quickly filling the spacious roads and the quiet workshops are also filled with the strong singing of "Five Stars Invitation to Five Rings".

While thinking, Su Cheng and Lin Yonggui stood up unconsciously.

"Five Star Invitation to Five Rings" is the theme song of the 7th Games and a typical political song. It is the accompaniment of China's first application for the Olympics.

Despite this, the high momentum in the style of "Five Stars Invitation to Five Rings" is very consistent with the mood of the two.

1993 was the year when the Chinese people most hoped to prove themselves. Nearly half a century of founding the People's Republic of China, more than ten years of reform and opening up, when many years of material scarcity ended, when many years of hardship eased, when the world was cleared... The Chinese suddenly had extremely hope that if someone stood up, it would be better for a foreigner to stand up and prove that his persistence and struggle over the years were not fishing the moon in the water or counting sand in the sea...

Applying to the Olympics is the ultimate manifestation of this desire.

A song is about to end, and Lin Yonggui suddenly woke up as if he was shocked and said, "If I can build the China-Kazakhstan line and obtain a Central Asian oil field, it will be worth it in my life."

Su Cheng was stunned and then smiled and said, "Mr. Lin underestimated himself too much. You still have great time and can do a lot of things."

"As long as I can do this, I will be satisfied." After leaving his territory, Lin Yonggui seemed to have taken off his serious and majestic mask and repeated the words just now.

Su Cheng nodded slightly, his face also became serious.

His eyes looked out from the not-bright window of the workshop, staring at the team of gray-yellow work clothes, and for a while, he whispered: "Whether the China-Kazakhstan line can work or not, I will go to Azerbaijan to try to get a piece of oil field."

In fact, Su Cheng was far from having to tell Lin Yonggui about this plan, but at this moment, he felt that maybe Lin Yonggui should know about this.

There are too many companies staring at the oil fields in Azerbaijan. Shengli Oilfield or some domestic companies are far from becoming a strong competitor. He doesn't need to

Lin Yonggui was not surprised, and just asked softly: "If the China-Kazakhstan line fails, how can you transport oil after you obtain the oil field in Azerbaijan?"

"It is said that the Americans would build an oil pipeline from Azerbaijan to Turkey to bypass Russia's control. If I obtained the Azerbaijan oil fields and did not win the China-Kazakhstan line or the Anta line, I would probably strive to use this oil pipeline." Sucheng briefly explained and once again revealed a piece of information, which was not similar to the information in his memory. This news was the conclusion drawn by the Information Bureau from the public channels of the United States and after analysis. It is almost the same as the facts.

Although I don’t know how much pipelines built by Americans are passing every year, there will definitely be various inconveniences when borrowing pipelines from other countries. Not to mention commercial competition, political changes alone are enough to drink a pot of money. Lin Yonggui has also been engaged in oil for many years and is very clear about the dilemma of losing transportation channels. If Dahua obtained an oil field in Azerbaijan, once the oil was released, the drilling would almost not be stopped and could not be transported out. The best solution would be to sell it at a low price to the US middlemen, and eventually only make a capital.

This is also one of the risks of oil development. In order to obtain the world's highest-priced liquid, oil companies take risks that ordinary people cannot bear from beginning to end.

Compared with state-owned enterprises, private enterprises bear particularly huge risks. Especially small private enterprises are often paradise one second before and hell the next...

Lin Yonggui touched the white hair on his temples and whistled, "No one is easy. Actually..."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Dahua can live a good life without oil development or oil pipelines. I have given Shengli Oilfield this life, and you don't have to know how easy it is to do it."

"A difficult road is too difficult to walk, and if people walk too much, it becomes an easy road. After finally coming to this world, if you pursue enjoyment, you should not start a business." Su Cheng said half-truely.

Lin Yonggui blinked and smiled: "It's only you who can develop oil."

"It is because of the foundation you created by Secretary Lin, you have a choice." Su Cheng seized the opportunity to praise Lin Yonggui.

Lin Yonggui smiled happily, rubbed his chin and said, "Think about it, I am also in my fifties. I have been in the party for 32 years. If you want to talk about the basics, my generation is also based on the predecessors."

Without Su Cheng's response, Lin Yonggui said to himself: "I joined the Party in 1961 and the last year of three natural disasters. At that time, let alone the Olympics, we didn't dare to think about buying oil from abroad. Everyone woke up in the morning to drink a bowl of wild vegetable porridge and a stomach full of water, and then went to work staggeringly. After holding it in a hurry every day, they wanted to collect 1 ton of oil, exchange more fertilizers, and exchange more grains..."

Memories from youth are always the most indelible.

Lin Yonggui let out a sigh of relief, turned his back to Su Cheng, and said, "The times have changed... Back then, who dared to imagine that one day, we would be able to build a steel pipeline worth thousands of kilometers long and then buy oil from abroad..."

Su Cheng was also a little excited when he said, and said solemnly: "We can definitely do it."

"It must be done." Lin Yonggui slightly raised his voice and said, "Our country has 1.2 billion people - to solve the problem of 1.2 billion people's food and clothing, and to make 1.2 billion people have enough food and clothing, and live better and better, it will cost more than now, more plastic greenhouses and more chemical fibers... I think other countries will have the same requirements. Therefore, although the oil in the Middle East is cheaper now, one day it will not be cheap. It is not safe to pass the offshore oil channel in the Strait of Malacca. The competition for oil resources will become more and more intense in the future."

Su Cheng understood in his heart that Lin Yonggui's true feelings, which seemed to be true and false, were all paving the way for Middle East Petroleum.

Middle East oil in the 1990s was indeed cheap, and low-sulfur sweet oil was once sold below US$30. Such light crude oil was a hot seller in the international market. It could extract more high-value-added products than heavy oil produced in Central Asia and other regions, and has always been the favorite of major refineries. However, due to the economic crisis, oil production increase, and various impacts of world peace, crude oil in the early and mid-1990s could not be sold at the price.

in the country, the argument that buying is worse than buying will naturally become more popular.

Compared with oil exploration investments that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, it seems that it is better to buy Middle Eastern crude oil directly.

But conservatives like Lin Yonggui would not agree with this argument. But the tone that was better than buying was getting higher and higher. Lin Yonggui probably was worried that Su Cheng would change his course.

In fact, from the perspective of pure money making, mining of Central Asian oil cannot be said to be an excellent choice. If the same money is put into the real estate market and invested in the commercial circulation field, it may get more returns and the risk is even smaller.

Lin Yonggui's trump card can only be faith and goal.

Although it sounds a bit illusory, isn’t China’s career, China’s industry, and China’s success officially established in the illusory?

As a deputy ministerial official, Lin Yonggui never underestimated the power of faith and goals.

People always have to pursue something.

The more you get, the purer your pursuit will be.

...

Su Cheng did not give Lin Yonggui a definite reply, but he accompanied Lin Yonggui out of the factory.

Even if the Sino-Kazakhstan oil pipeline is inseparable from the national power, it is not something he says can accomplish, let alone make promises.

What Lin Yonggui wanted was Su Cheng's investment in this project, not really wanting an irresponsible promise. Instead, he was even happier when he saw Su Cheng being cautious in his work.

In the evening, Lin Yonggui quietly left Ji*nan.

Sucheng continued to attend the banquet at Jichai Power Machinery Factory. On the second and third days, he attended two meetings respectively, straightened out the relationship between the public utilities department and the branch before leaving.

Although domestic media have long been unruly, their sense of smell is mostly on red envelopes and has not evolved to the level of paparazzi. No reporter from an industrial newspaper has noticed Su Cheng's actions. Even Zhang Changting from Daqing actually did not focus on Lin Yonggui, but instead bet on the headquarters.

Officials always stare at their superiors, at least in the domestic market, which is quite effective.

But when encountering private companies like Dahua, there are often omissions.

Like the leaders of state-owned enterprises or governments, Sucheng needs to attend some unsuccessful meetings on time or give reports from time to time.

He doesn't even have to explain his itinerary or arrangements to anyone.

In this way, when he inspected his own companies, he slowly disappeared, and no one realized the problem.

In the blind spot of attention, Sucheng flew from Europe and arrived in Almaty, the capital of Kazakhstan. In addition to the professionals of Dahua Group, there were also several designers specially invited.

Sucheng never fights unsure of wars. There are no one who takes the chance during the oil development process.

With the news provided by the Comprehensive Information Bureau and the memory of Sucheng, he was very sure that Almaty, a city with a strong European flavor, had only a handful of days with the title of "Capital of Kazakhstan".

The most interesting thing to the iron-fisted President Nazarbayev may be oil, but the most troublesome thing he is to "moving the capital".

Yes, in a few years, the beautiful Almaty will no longer be the capital of Kazakhstan.

In order to fight against the internal resistance of the country, Zarbayev, who was strong and strong, could not help but show his weakness.

It's 6 o'clock in the morning.

I became useless and even scared myself!
