The negotiations on the China-Russia oil pipeline are more than just difficult, and it is almost the same as using a marathon on the tip of a knife...

Russia is a fragile energy country. It has a vast territory and abundant resources, but the only thing that can truly serve as an international currency when searching for Russia is energy, or to be more precise, oil. Even expensive diamonds and caviar cannot be compared with oil currency in terms of total quantity. This is the case with the Soviet Union in the Stalin era, and the Soviet Union after World War II. There is no difference between Khrushchev, Brenev, Gorbachev or Yeltsin and Putin Russia in this regard.

Russia or the Soviet Union needed a lot of things... Cereals and machinery were all goods they purchased in bulk. In fact, if they did not buy a large amount of grain, the Soviet Union would starve people to death every year. In the 1960s, the Soviet Union purchased grain in large quantities for the first time, spending one-third of the country's gold reserves in one breath. Khrushchev said with confidence: For a big country like us, it is unimaginable to use gold to buy food, and we must reverse this phenomenon.

When Khrushchev said this, he was full of ambitions, but it had no meaning. What really allowed the Soviets to avoid starvation was still new technologies and discoveries in the oil industry, rather than their terrible agricultural technology.

Since then, the Soviet Union has imported more and more grains, and only oil is supported by all this... The nearly a hundred years of history has made Russia's politics and economy difficult to hold on to the oil behemoth. What is the food? Oil; what is the centripetal force of the franchisee? Cheap oil; where does the budget for military competition come from? Only oil.

After the disintegration, Russia seemed to be in a mess, but what it really attracted foreign investors was still oil.

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

However, once things go to the point where they are substantive, Russian politicians, officials and people begin to worry endlessly.

Foreign investors' oil extraction in Russia is like their own blood being taken away in the eyes of Russians.

That's right. If oil is regarded as Russia's blood, then this country is a country that can survive by selling blood. They are as worried about selling oil as if they are selling their own blood.

If someone wants to make a big profit from Russia's energy transactions, the Russians will be as angry as blood sellers who have been stolen from their blood.

In the absence of helplessness, the Russians can only continue to sell their oil. However, this does not mean that they like this method, just like any blood seller, and if they give them a slight chance, they are willing to choose another life.

Zhang Changting walked on the territory where the Soviet elder brother passed by. He breathed in his nose the smell of the dead corpse of the Soviet elder brother, and saw the unyielding cell wall of the Soviet elder brother, and his palm touched the soul of the Soviet elder brother. Nothing can be done smoothly.

The Russian Yukos company, which proposed the Anda Line, had no intention of urging Russia's political axe. The Jewish boss Khodorkovsky's main goal was to increase production by his own oil company. For him, selling oil to China was a long-term and meaningful goal. However, the task of increasing production of his own company is the most important.

Zhang Changting visited several times but finally did not see Khodorkovsky. The answer he received from Yukos was that he could not "wait" with peace of mind.

After Zhang Changting stayed for a while, he gradually realized the situation of Yukos. With a company promoting oil pipelines between the two countries, the company must be extremely powerful.

Unlike the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline, the huge Russian Federation, in addition to being full of desire for Europe, is full of contempt for China and the former Soviet Union. As far as rationally speaking, they can see the prospects of the Chinese market and the scale of oil consumption. However, whether it comes first or later, or the importance of the difference, the Russian Federation has to wait until the Russian-European oil pipeline is a bit famous before entering the China-Russia oil pipeline.

If it is replaced by Yukos, which is so strong that he dares to challenge Putin, they will have the ability to read and push the Anda Line. If the weak Russia is replaced with the weaker Kazakhstan, then the Daqing Oilfield and the background of China National Petroleum Corporation are also qualified to continue the Anda Line.

However, when the two reading conditions are not met, the Anda Line can only wait for a suitable opportunity.

In Russia in 1993, there might be one or two suitable opportunities. Zhang Changting himself had no information to support him and hurried to Moscow. After hesitating for a month, he finally had no choice but to book a return ticket.

Things like general managers are just human-shaped stamps most of the time, but they can’t do without them.

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

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

The young man had a new high-end suit and a valuable diamond-inlaid watch. In addition, he was a Chinese from Moscow Airport. Although Zhang Changting was in a bad mood, he just looked at him with a straight eyebrows and said nothing.

The young man raised his legs and said, "Mr. Zhang may have never seen me before. I will introduce myself. My name is Su Xing, who represents 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 raised his fingers upwards and said, "It's the Su family."

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

"I can help you get Russian promises." Unlike Su Cheng, when Su Xing speaks, he always feels like he is the best in the world.

Zhang Changting smiled unhappily and said, "How to help?"

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

Su Xing smiled carelessly, waved backwards, and said, "I'll find someone to tell you."

Zhang Changting's brows were about to be twisted into the character "Chuan".

After a while, Su Yaping, who had a big ear on the side, appeared in front of Zhang Changting.

Su Xing said happily: "I've said it a long time ago, and I'm sure how difficult it is to cooperate."

Su Yaping looked at him helplessly, turned to Zhang Changting and smiled: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I am Su Yaping. Now the chairman of Nanqing Group. We are also deeply honored to be able 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.

Su Xing said indifferently: "Looking at his appearance, he obviously agreed to cooperate. We are not talking about the details, so why don't you talk about the details?"

Su Yaping felt a little angry and was not easy to show it. He originally trusted his nephew, but he heard that after being double-opened, he was less and less likely to adjust. He hadn't realized that he would not adjust to such a level. If he had known this, why would he give him a chance to train... Standing in front of Zhang Changting, he didn't want to say much, so he covered up and asked, "What did you just talk about?"

"That's all, the details are left to you." Su Xing shook his hand, 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. He said, "Sorry, we want to help you."

"What?"

"We will help you to make a commitment to the Russian political axe on the Sino-Russian oil pipeline..."

"I've said this part." Su Xing interrupted Su Yaping's words and was quite dissatisfied.

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

At this time, Zhang Changting was already quite impatient.

Su Yaping quickly said, "Let me tell you. As far as we know, Yukos has found a high-yield expert in oil fields, named Sharinov. His task is to assist Yukos to solve the problem of oil production. Not only Yukos, but many Russian oil merchants are looking for solutions to high-yield oil fields. Therefore, if Daqing Oilfield can help the Russians, it will not be that difficult to ask them to come forward and agree to the Anda Line."

Oil companies always need to increase production, especially for the emerging Russian Federation. During the period when Zhang Changting stayed in Moscow, he could experience Russia's shortage of supplies. If there was no oil export, Russia, which had a collapsed Soviet legacy, could only wait for a new round of collapse.

Restoring the turbulent Russian oil industry to the level of the Soviet era is the highlight of at least the last two years.

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

"We can do an aid project, from Daqing Oilfield to work in Russia." Su Yaping said excitedly, saying: "You don't have to worry about aid projects. We are doing it well here. If you have new technologies in terms of oil production, you can try it. In addition, helping Russians dig more wells can attract favor."

"I have any new technology. Moreover, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to send people to explore oil wells. What can I do if I help the two drilling teams?" Zhang Changting had no confidence at all.

Zhang Changting shook his head and said, "It's not two drilling teams, but 100. Moreover, he provides his own equipment and logistics."

Zhang Changting's eyes were tense, and he smiled anxiously: "Do you know how much it costs for 100 drilling teams?"

“No matter how much money you make, the more money you make for the Russians, the more willing they will be to help.”

Zhang Changting hesitated for a moment and said, "Will dispatching a drilling team affect Daqing's own work, how much money can they pay?"

Su Xing smiled sarcastically on his face: "How much does it cost? Of course it's free. Just that, we have to think of other ways for you."
