The news that Nazarbayev took the initiative to sell his products reached China, but it did not immediately cause any response. Only a few media outlets introduced it in the size of tofu chunks. It was basically pure introduction, not to mention there were no comments, not even an editor's note.

To the outside world, the Chinese officials seemed to be stunned or didn't care about this matter at all.

However, the truth of the facts is often the opposite of superficial phenomena.

The media does not report it, but is not allowed to report it. Readers actually don’t like to watch such diplomatic events, and the country is watching it tightly, so the media naturally does not cause trouble if they can avoid causing trouble.

Therefore, the domestic performance is a calmness that is not caring.

But in private, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and higher-level officials are basically busy.

What's going on?

Why did Kazakhstan suddenly start selling?

The questions and plausible answers are first spread in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some young people have all the characters "benevolent" that appear in their minds.

If it weren't for the "benevolent people are invincible", they would have been the largest country in Central Asia, and the hottest thing in the eyes of European and American countries recently, why did they suddenly invite China to develop oil pipelines?

This is a pie that falls from the sky.

Especially the director in charge of Central Asia, who had been following the director to have a meal at the French Embassy, ​​and the headquarters called and asked: "Have you contacted the senior Kazakhstan in Central Asia recently?"

The director who didn't know anything was stunned and said, "I am a department-level cadre, what qualifications do I have to contact the senior Kazakhstan?"

When the person there "gets" he hung up the phone. Then he crossed out a name on the list with a ballpoint pen and continued to make the next call.

There is no way, the minister needs news urgently. The officials below are even more anxious.

At such a critical moment, no one asked the first witness of the matter, and the Foreign Ministry official sent to Keelempo to attend the Asian Petroleum Summit.

If anyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows something, that is, this official who has been public relations with Dahua.

Although I don’t know much, if the ministry can remember to ask him, I will naturally know. This matter is related to Dahua Industry.

However, it is normal for headquarters officials to look down on foreign officials and ask about things in Central Asia. It is troublesome to call foreign officials in Central Asia. Who would have thought of asking young cadres who are attending the meeting in Malaysia?

After a while, the transmission of the message was delayed.

It was not until that night that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received news from other channels: it was possible that Dahua Industrial's public relations with Kazakhstan.

They excitedly brought the news and went to the hospital to report the worker. The leader said a word and asked the person stupid: How did it happen to public relations? What is the final result?

Yes, how to make public relations! What is the result!

As a Central Asian country, Kazakhstan is a regional focus. Not only do they have oil and natural gas, but their military and political influence are also very strong.

The Soviet Red Army left them with 200,000 regular troops, one-fifth of nuclear weapons, and more than 2 million square kilometers of land. In addition, although the light industry left behind from the Soviet Union is as weak as it is, the heavy industry is indeed good. Among the five Central Asian countries, Kazakhstan is the obvious leader, and Nazarbayev is also famous for his scheming.

Not to mention that China has insufficient power injected into Central Asia, even if it is sufficient, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot get oil pipelines... The oil pipeline that spans thousands of kilometers of the two countries not only requires cooperation from China National Petroleum Corporation, but also requires the cooperation of powerful ministries and commissions such as the Development and Reform Commission. In addition to China National Petroleum Corporation itself, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will never be involved in such trouble. However, it is one thing that they are not involved, and it is another thing that private enterprises can complete it.

If CNPC is a China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline, then even if the officials who come and go to keep it secret, they will not be able to escape. The confidentiality of the administrative agencies is like a sieve. But private enterprises are different. If so many traitors come to Central Asia to make a fortune, who can't stop the embassy? Even if Dahua Industrial does something in Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not care too much about it.

The problem is that when leaders want to know the situation, they are also confused.

But the leader has to reply.

To learn about Dahua Industrial, the best way to ask Sucheng.

But Su Cheng and his senior executives were all in Kazakhstan. If you ask the embassy staff there, you will not be able to contact you for a while.

Finally, Jiao Guoping, the new deputy director of the European Department of the Ministry, volunteered to contact Sucheng.

The chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent him onto the plane without saying a word.

From Beijing to Urumqi, and then flying to Almaty, the small planes from the 1990s had a bumpy noise, and the time alone was unbearable. This was a hard seat for the whole journey!

When he arrived in Almaty, Jiao Guoping went straight to the temporary station of Dahua Industrial without a minute. He came to the door and said, "I am your old friend of Mr. Su, and I want to see him now."

Jiao Guoping rubbed his hands and looked at the guard with his eyes wide open. His relationship with Su Cheng cannot be said to be harmonious, but he is also an acquaintance. This time he ran over here, of course, not to solve the difficulties of the headquarters leaders, but to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Jiao Guoping is a Chinese diplomat who is quite familiar with Central Asia, so he knows clearly that Kazakhstan is undoubtedly the core of Central Asia. Whether it is international status or geopolitics, if he wants to gain a foothold in Central Asia, he cannot escape Kazakhstan. Therefore, an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can decide many things about the Asian Department if he has a hard relationship with Kazakhstan. Jiao Guoping is the deputy director of the European Department, but this does not affect his use of the incompetence of the Asian Department as his stepping stone to find the reputation of a "Central Asian".

A long and troublesome thing like the oil pipeline is a burden to others, but it is not necessarily true for Jiao Guoping. Because he is not from the Asian Division, he doesn’t have to pay attention to troublesome things. He just needs to take advantage of the opportunity and do a few big moves, so he can’t be more active.

He was active, but the guards invited by Dahua were not very active. This young man who graduated from the sports school lazily put down the Kazakh dictionary in his hand and said, "Your ID. Letter of Introduction."

"Is there a letter of introduction?" Jiao Guoping frowned with thick eyebrows and big eyes, like straw.

"I don't want it in normal times, but I only need it when I encounter strange things." The guard spoke in Kazakh. Don't think he is a small guard. As long as he learns Kazakh, he can win high ratings, and then transfer to other departments. According to Dahua's internal promotion route, this is the fastest way for employees with low education to be promoted, faster than being a worker. Therefore, even during working hours, the guard strives to study. Anyway, his job is just a upload and post, and there are more professional people to do it.

Jiao Guoping had no choice but to take out his ID card and work permit. He said: "I am from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and I am too anxious to come. I have no letter of introduction. Can I make some peace with it?"

"I'll ask. Who are you looking for?"

"Dr. Chairman of Sucheng?"

"The biggest chairman?" The guard was surprised.

"Yes." Jiao Guoping was full of hope.

The doorman said "Oh", picked up the dictionary again, sat down, and said, "Let's go."

"What?"

"Dr. Su returned to China this morning."

"I'm back!" Jiao Guoping's eyes widened.

"It's almost time to come." The guard said another string of Kazakh, obviously entering a learning state.

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

The beauty of the oil pipeline is probably not yet understood by the liberal arts student from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Those who can understand it are probably not someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Jiao Guoping also knew about the oil pipeline in his early years because he understood Sucheng, so he immediately recommended himself.

However, after a long time of delay, it is difficult to guarantee that anyone can recover. There are many smart people in the world, let alone ministries and commissions. The liberal arts students in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may not understand what oil pipelines are, but even if they are staring at him, Jiao Guoping, they can't say what they can find.

Jiao Guoping was unwilling to lose this opportunity, and the driver of the embassy didn't care anymore and said hummingly: "You can send you to the airport. If you book a plane ticket, you have to find the embassy."

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

He left as soon as he arrived, and spent two extra air tickets for no reason, and the embassy was unwilling to do so. Jiao Guoping called back to China again, agreed to the reimbursement process, and then returned to the embassy... After busy for several hours, Jiao Guoping took the plane from Almaty to Chongqing. Thanks to the rampant tyrant, there was only one more plane, otherwise he would have to wait for tomorrow's plane.

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

Jiao Guoping was anxious and irritated. He grabbed a familiar person and asked, "What did Su Cheng say?"

"I'm talking about the oil pipeline from Kazakhstan to China, and there are some local things." The familiar one explained a few briefly when he saw his position as deputy director.

"Where is the opinion of the Ministry?"

"It's only been a few hours, what can I have any opinions."

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

When he arrived at the door, he heard the voice of Sucheng inside. Without thinking, Jiao Guoping rushed in and shouted: "Mr. Su, I support Dahua Industrial in developing Central Asia Petroleum and Gas! The construction of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline will not only obtain a long-term and stable crude oil supply, but also reduce dependence on Middle East oil, dependence on the Strait of Malacca, and make China's oil supply safer. In addition, the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline can also strengthen the connection between China and Central Asian countries, which is definitely a good thing that benefits the country and the people!"

The hard work over the past few days seems to have been vomited out with this tone.

Sitting in front of a row of leaders with his back to him was Su Cheng. He turned his head suspiciously and found that it was Jiao Guoping, and then repeated in surprise: "Do you support?"

"Support! I firmly support Su-Korean's China-Kazakhstan line." Jiao Guoping found that there were several leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs opposite and said without caring: "I am familiar with the situation in Central Asia. I think that the construction of the China-Kazakhstan line is right now, Comrade Nazarbayev has just settled his position. It is the time to make a decision, and Kazakhstan is also lacking in funds..."

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

Jiao Guoping then shut up. He was not a reckless person, but he had been too smooth before and had not been so smooth in the past two years, so he became anxious.

When he heard the name of the Petroleum Corporation, he realized that Dahua Industrial is a private enterprise, and the domestic company is in charge of oil.

According to the domestic system, whether Dahua can build oil pipelines is theoretically determined by the Oil Corporation. It seems that his support is a bit too early.

Sure enough, Director Zhang from Daqing said dissatisfiedly: "Does this comrade understand oil pipelines very well? A pipeline that doesn't even have drawings has so many benefits?"

If you knew that there were other units in the conference room, especially people from the Petroleum Corporation, Jiao Guoping might have waited and watched first, but since he was excited to shout the banner of "support", it would be too timid to surrender.

Jiao Guoping looked at the faces of the leaders, and no one seemed to remind him. Considering that the other party was the "director" and no longer cared about it, he laughed and said, "My major is not oil, but I have also learned about some oil pipelines. The most important thing is that I have been in Central Asia for several years. When the Soviet Union collapsed, I was the first diplomat to go to the CIS countries to establish negotiation procedures. I can say very clearly that the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline is not only meaningful, but also strategically..."

Jiao Guoping is an official who makes a living by talking, and he straightened out his name in one breath.

Zhang Changting spent half his life working as a technology and half his life working as an official. He spent almost the same time practicing verbal practice as Jiao Guoping, but as he was older, his mind was not so flexible. After thinking clearly, he said: "He is a private enterprise and is not qualified to do oil pipelines. This is a matter between countries. There is no conclusion within the oil company, so he should not act privately."

According to the system, Zhang Changting's words are correct. If you replace another official, you may not say anything.

Jiao Guoping is different. Like Su Cheng, he is a long-distance aide to Mr. Zhou. He is familiar with the policy direction. He whispered: "What is emancipating the mind? What is seeking truth from facts? The Oil Corporation is hesitant, delaying the fighter jet, and blames the pioneer general. What is the reason? Do you still have to buy a pencil and stamp three seals like the planned economy? If I want to say that China's reform requires entrepreneurs like Director Su to have the ability and dare to implement it! The China-Kazakhstan pipeline is a tangible benefit that Dahua has won for the country. Kazakhstan oil fields are full of major powers in the world. It is not easy for Dahua Industrial to regain a oil pipeline for us! Director Zhang, if you can't tell the difference between good and bad, I have a way. Let's open the door and invite some reporters to write the whole story into the newspaper, so that the people of the whole country can judge."
