Even without the excitement of Sucheng, Zhang Changting would have to go to Moscow to have a look.

The China-Kazakhstan line unexpectedly took the lead, and Russia's attitude became very important. If the Anda Line is still confused and unclear, the scale will definitely tilt towards the China-Kazakhstan line. This kind of international project, the government's attitude is often very important. Sometimes a small concession or two can lead to a large project, and the increased taxes alone may be much more than pay.

However, governments around the world are of a virtue. When they do not threaten the positions of officials and do not have enough benefits, no government in any country will lose the interests of the government for the sake of enterprises. Officials who take the initiative to find jobs are even more endangered animals.

Large enterprises in developed countries in Europe and the United States spend huge amounts of money on public relations and governments just to make the government take the initiative. Most Chinese enterprises rely on relationships.

For example, Zhang Changting, he knew many senior government officials, and through intricate relationships, he could do a lot of things, perhaps better than using money to do things. Therefore, even though he knew that Dahua Industrial won many battles in international bidding, he had no fear.

Or, even if there is any fear, Zhang Changting has no way out.

This is the case with energy development. You can stay calm and wait for death. However, once you decide to start a project, there is no room for retreat.

If the Anda Line fails, Zhang Changting will lose more than just an oil pipeline, but also the ministerial title he has worked hard all his life, and the tempting taste of controlling all of China's oil.

In fact, Lin Yonggui is the same. If he wants to compete from another direction, then he will come from another direction. And he decided to support the China-Kazakhstan line to fight the Anda line, then he has no way out.

In just one day, Zhang Changting completed the procedures for going abroad, quietly left the capital airport, and mingled with several foreign ministry officials who had changed shifts.

In order not to let others know about their whereabouts, he also asked someone to register the air tickets under a pseudonym.

Despite this, before the plane landed, Sucheng received a message from Dong Feng: "Zhang Changting went to Moscow."

Dahua's Information Bureau is always staring at Zhang Changting. His methods are effective against ordinary media or against Dahua Information Bureau that are rushing out of the international market, which makes him look a little immature.

Su Cheng was not in a hurry and asked Dong Feng to confirm again. After seeing the photo of Zhang Changting getting off the plane faxed by Moscow, he notified Lin Yonggui and said, "Zhang Changting has arrived in Moscow."

"The time is right, there will be a meeting this afternoon." Lin Yonggui asked in surprise on the other end of the phone: "When did he arrive in Moscow?"

“Just arrived.”

"You knew it as soon as you arrived?"

"I happened to meet it." Su Cheng said insincerely.

Lin Yonggui laughed twice, not going to pursue it. He shook his hand, took out a few documents from the drawer of the desk, selected two of them, and put them in a briefcase. Then, he picked up the phone again and said, "Prepare the car."

Without waiting for the people below to come in to report, Lin Yonggui picked up his bag and walked towards the yard.

Across a wall, there was a Crown, an Audi 100 and a Santan Sodium. Director Wu, who was stationed in Beijing, rushed out. He was holding a thud key in his hand. When he saw Lin Yonggui, he smiled and said, "Secretary Lin, the crown has a little more oil. Let's sit here?"

"Yes." There was no expression on Lin Yonggui's face.

Director Wu hurried to open the car door.

Unlike the bitter grassroots oilfield departments, the offices in Beijing, which are in low-level, can often be equipped with cars due to the needs of receiving leaders.

Lin Yonggui is in the Oilfield Administration. He only rides a Crown, but the Beijing Office of Shengli Oilfield has both Crown and Audi.

Any of these two cars is exceeding the standard in the Beijing Office. In fact, even the Santana used by the Beijing Office is an over-the-standard model. The same Beijing-level department-level cadres are still riding bicycles. It is good for the wealthier government departments to be equipped with a Beijing Jeep for department-level cadres. The casual county party secretary cannot ride a car with a fashionable name.

Lin Yonggui had also rectified the Beijing Office before, but the tradition of running the Ministry of Finance has not been cancelled, and the functions of the Beijing Office have become increasingly important. Two good cars have become somewhat indispensable.

Lin Yonggui could only shake his head secretly in response to this.

Throughout the afternoon, Lin Yonggui ran around.

He seized the time and visited the four neutral directors.

As far as the oil company is concerned, the attitude of the 18 directors largely determines the outcome of a resolution. Therefore, it is very important for Lin Yonggui and the China-Kazakhstan line to win a majority.

The next day, Lin Yonggui made an appointment with Su Cheng again, and the two went to see the general manager of the Petroleum Corporation together.

Only when the general manager does not make a statement can the majority of the 18 directors play a role.

On general issues, the general manager usually does not make any statement. However, the problem of oil pipelines is too big, and no one can guarantee success.

After visiting the general manager, Lin Yonggui then visited the seven directors who agreed with him last time.

Unlike the four neutral directors, the seven directors who agree with Lin Yonggui are all old relationships he has accumulated over the years.

Lin Yonggui brought Sucheng with him without hesitation, and then gave him a careful introduction before he was there.

This is introducing his relationship to Sucheng.

Lin Yonggui also understood that if he successfully took the position of general manager, he would not lose support, but if he failed, it would be useless to keep these relationships.

When we met each other, some took half a day, and some took a day. When Zhang Changting was not around, the directors' response was quite good.

In this way, by the end of the month, Lin Yonggui had accumulated the consent of 10 directors.

If he is configured by 18 directors and one general manager, he is likely to get a majority of votes at the next director meeting.

"Should you apply for a meeting of directors as soon as possible?" Su Cheng felt a little overwhelmed and said, "Nazarbayev took the initiative to invite us to extract oil and build natural gas pipelines. The Petroleum Corporation must have a statement."

Speaking of internal struggles, Lin Yonggui is at the level of a master. He said calmly: "Before the director's meeting, the general manager can also hold a party group meeting. We will not have an advantage in the party group."

Su Cheng patted his forehead and said speechlessly: "Then we have to visit the members of the Party Group separately?"

"Or wait for the news from Zhang Changting." Lin Yonggui suggested: "If he cannot succeed in a short time, domestic support will also weaken. In that case, the party group meeting will probably become a foil. What I am worried about now is that he can discuss the China-Russia pipeline in a short time... In that case, we will be completely passive."

It can be seen that this question has been a long time since Lin Yonggui was confused.

If there was another proposition, Su Cheng might be hesitant.

However, the fate of a famous oil pipeline like the Anda Line has been decided almost from the beginning.

Therefore, Su Cheng said without hesitation: "Let's continue to be ours and wait for Zhang Changting for another half a month."

"Well... half a month, this time is good, so I can also get into the oil company." Lin Yonggui smiled.

International cooperation often requires an opportunity. Two countries that were originally irrelevant may not have any contact or in-depth exchanges in another thirty or fifty years. However, once an opportunity arises, the speed and degree of cooperation will quickly accelerate.

Nazarbayev's eyes were originally based in Europe and America. The natural gas pipeline to Russia was built in the Soviet era and could be used with a little repair. The United States is also actively trying to build an offshore oil pipeline from Kazakhstan to Turkey... Although Asian countries such as China are close neighbors of Kazakhstan, Nazarbayev did not feel any business opportunities due to the degree of economic development.

This is also a normal idea. Last year, China was an exporter in the international oil market. It transformed into an imported oil. Except for the Chinese themselves, people from other countries have not noticed much.

However, the arrival of Sucheng opened a window to Nazarbayev.

The annual sales contract of 20 million tons, which is rich and powerful, is no different from the oil pipelines in the United States and Russia. This is a sales volume of hundreds of thousands of barrels per day, equivalent to the output of two or three large oil fields.

When seeing such a sales contract, the first thing Nazarbayev did was to fully investigate China's trade and industrial situation.

China's data, which is in the midst of inflation and economic overheating, can be scary no matter whose table it is thrown on.

15% of GDP per year, investment projects worth hundreds of billions of dollars throughout the year, and consumption of hundreds of millions of tons of oil throughout the year... If it were a Chinese, he was worried about unsustainable problems in the future. If it were Nazarbayev, the Kazakh, the first thing he thought of was to sell the oil!

He doesn't care whether China is on the eve of the financial crisis, nor does he care whether China's overheating investment can be maintained at this moment. He is willing to sell oil to China at a high level.

Therefore, after Sucheng asked him to take the initiative to propose that the pipeline was built, Nazarbayev was not idle waiting for the Chinese government.

He is also constantly asking and following up on this matter.

Although oil pipelines are a major event and there is no need to make decisions in a hurry, the Petroleum Corporation cannot always avoid them. They also need to formulate reasonable disposal plans.

The only thing Zhang Changting, who is thousands of miles apart, can do is to constantly delay the time of the director's meeting.

The clock rotates second after second.

The time left for Zhang Changting is getting less and less.

There are always people who are full of expectations, hoping that Zhang Changting can bring back a China-Russia oil pipeline agreement. At least something similar.

Only Su Cheng knew that the congenital deformed Anda Line had no soil for Zhang Changting to develop.
