Chapter 461 Unresolved

"What does this mean?" Zhang Changting was shocked and angry, looking at the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on both sides in confusion. He didn't know who this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was. He just asked reporters to talk. Are reporters so easy to deal with?

According to the principle of equal reception, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also sent an old leader at the deputy ministerial level. The old man was a little exhausted, and after sitting down, he was dozing off. When he woke up, he just said "Oh" and disappeared again.

The director of the Concierge Department became the largest official who could speak. He glanced at Su Cheng and looked at Jiao Guoping, but he couldn't tell what the two meant. He only introduced lightly: "This is Comrade Jiao Guoping, deputy director of the European Department."

Just in this sentence, the Secretary General, who was still talkative just now, suddenly began to reveal his taciturn side.

To talk about how powerful energy companies are, ordinary people in the 1990s may not be very clear, but how could the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not be clear. Once things in Latin America, North Africa, the Middle East, the United States, Europe, Japan and other places involve energy and oil, it will be very troublesome. In the 1990s, the most important task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every year was to talk about the most-favored-nation treatment with the United States. Every time they communicate with the US Congress, someone would talk about oil. I really didn’t know it.

Even the most sluggish foreign ministry personnel can understand what kind of destructive power Dahua Industry, which owns the Middle East oil fields, has.

China is a cage, and they can still be surrounded by them for the time being. Wouldn’t the Sino-Kazakhstan oil pipeline reveal the glory of the international oil company?

As for Jiao Guoping's attitude, it is even more worth pondering. This guy has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. Now he is clearly supporting Dahua Industrial, so he must have kept a backup plan.

The director of the Concierge Department, who had no interest, thought so, regardless of whether Zhang Changting was happy or not, he just had a little more to say.

The Ministry of Petroleum and the General Corporation of Petroleum are quite powerful, so they have to be divided into local areas. Most ministries such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are extremely powerful and are much less affected by the outside world.

On the contrary, Jiao Guoping, who was keen on Central Asia, raised his chest and looked up and said, "I forgot to introduce it just now. I am Jiao Guoping from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's not interesting to come here, I just want to express my support. The China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline is beneficial to the country and the people. Whether it is placed in central ministries or in mass media, I will support everyone."

"The oil pipeline is managed by the Ministry of Petroleum. What are you going to support?" Zhang Changting's six orifices were smoked, and the Northeast cavity with a scent of slag also appeared.

Lin Yonggui was just worried about Zhang Changting's pressure. He heard that this guy came to Beijing and immediately followed him. Now, seeing that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not buy his account, he smiled easily and said: "What do comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have any opinions? Let's listen humbly. Director Zhang should not be anxious."

"Of course you are not in a hurry!" Zhang Changting looked unhappy and had no intention of covering up. He was also a cadre promoted from the front line. He was older and his anger was not as strong as when he was young, but he was not a good person.

He was too lazy to talk to Lin Yonggui. He faced Su Cheng and stared at him, "What exactly is Dahua Industrial going to do? We have been talking to Russia for more than a year, how much money and how much time has it been spent? You guys, I don't know what methods have been used to find Kazakhstan. Isn't this a sabotage?"

Su Cheng sat down alone, as if he was being interviewed by a group of leaders. However, his face was not as humble as he was to accept the interview, and he said relaxedly: "We also took money and time to do it."

"Hmph, how long has it been? Who knows what conditions have you discussed to lose power and humiliate the country!"

"Old Zhang!" Lin Yonggui couldn't let him be so determined, and immediately stopped him and said, "If you have something to say, you have seen the conditions. The head office did not say anything against you. If you want to object, don't exaggerate it!"

"Then tell me, if you don't sell others' good things in such a short time, how can you talk about it?"

"It's just a problem of ability." Su Cheng was floating down there.

"What did you say!" Zhang Changting's voice became louder and louder, as if he was roaring. If the young man in the company dared to talk to him like this... what made him angry was that Sucheng a few years ago was just a young man in Shengli Oilfield.

Su Cheng curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Whether it is Russian oil or Kazakhstan oil, whoever can provide what China needs will buy. You have been talking for more than a year, so let's continue to negotiate. If you can talk about the Sino-Russian oil pipeline, we will talk about which one is more beneficial. If you can't talk about the Sino-Russian oil pipeline, you are a national sinner."

Since he was going to compete with Daqing for oil pipelines, Sucheng asked the Information Bureau to collect Zhang Changting's information. This is a man who is hard but not soft, and the style of a typical oil worker. Therefore, he said it very heavily, but it did not deviate from reality.

A correct oil pipeline, 10 years ahead of schedule or 10 years, can not only help the country save hundreds of millions of dollars in freight, but also reduce many concerns in international activities. Russia has taken the route of oil politics since the Soviet era, and in the 1990s, it has become even worse. It is not easy to find a good and cheap oil pipeline from their mouths. Even Kazakhstan is not easy to match. Japan began to look for oil in Kazakhstan as early as the 1970s, and they also paid a lot to obtain Caspian oil.

If Sucheng had not seized on the fact that Nazarbayev wanted to build a capital, he would have to use all the tens of millions of dollars he brought to have to be used up to achieve a half effect at present.

However, although the cash was not spent, the construction team that Xunuo did not pay. Moreover, the tens of millions of dollars saved may not be really saved. The subsequent procedures are still complicated, and there are many places to use money.

However, Zhang Changting was breathing hard because Su Cheng said, and his chest was undulating twice. He slapped the table with anger and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go to Moscow now. Let you see what the Equality Treaty is going on."

"I wish you good luck." There was no joy or anger on Su Cheng's face.

Zhang Changting ignored him and turned to the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and said, "We do not agree with the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline. Please pay attention to it, don't be deceived by those greedy companies."

The director of the concierge department looked embarrassed and smiled, "I'll give you some."

Zhang Changting left with his hands. When he passed by Jiao Guoping, he hummed twice to express his dissatisfaction.

When Jiao Guoping didn't hear it, he turned around and smiled at Su Cheng: "Dr. Su, you haven't seen each other for ten days, and you have put out the satellite again."

Su Cheng shook his hand and said, "I happened to meet him."

"I didn't expect that you have such a deep research on Central Asian countries. Nazarbayev is not a good person to get along with. If you can ask him to take the initiative to invite China to lay oil pipelines, I really don't know how you did it." What Jiao Guoping said was half true and half false, and there were some compliments.

He and Su Cheng were both Mr. Zhou’s aides, and they had many opportunities to meet before. However, Mr. Zhou was older and had been participating in national affairs shorter and shorter, and his main energy was gradually shifted from both domestic and foreign affairs to domestic parts. In this way, the opportunities for Jiao Guoping from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Comrade Su Cheng, the "International Issues Expert" were gradually reduced.

However, for the relationship between the two, they would meet less, and instead of getting closer, they would avoid the two of them from having different opinions on international issues. As Mr. Zhou's silence increased, Jiao Guoping's attitude towards Su Cheng gradually changed.

If it were not for Mr. Zhou's halo, Sucheng's power would not be affected too much, and Jiao Guoping would have the possibility of falling from heaven to the mortal world.

Climbing to Sucheng was not Jiao Guoping’s first choice, but he would not let it go with such an opportunity.

Su Cheng's performance of showing kindness to Jiao Guoping was very dull. His current goal is to push Lin Yonggui to the top. At this level, he doesn't care much about the attitude of a deputy department-level cadre.

Jiao Guoping didn't expect Su Cheng to welcome him. He said a few more words about his understanding of the Kazakhstan issue and took the initiative to leave.

Su Cheng also greeted several people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and went out with Lin Yonggui to get in the car.

Sitting in the back seat, Lin Yonggui frowned and said, "Zhang Changting has something to do in Russia. If you arouse him, this guy might be able to really talk about the China-Russian pipeline."

"It's not that easy to talk about the Sino-Russian pipeline." Su Cheng leaned against the back of the chair and said slowly: "I know that Zhang Changting has Russian relations. He has been working and studying in Baku for a while. In fact, whether I'm excited about him today, he will go to Moscow, too."

"That's true." Lin Yonggui sighed and said, "As far as I know, Zhang Changting knows several ruling parties in the current Russian government, and has a great influence in energy. Otherwise, the head office would not have agreed to the Anda Line so easily. Someone proposed other pipeline lines, which was Zhang Changting personally went to Russia and determined the Anda Line. All the lines proposed by others were rejected by Russia, indicating that there was only the Anda Line. If Zhang Changting went there now and really agreed to an agreement, we would be passive."

If you choose between the Anda Line and the China-Kazakhstan line, ten percent of the central government will choose the Anda Line. Maintaining a good relationship with Russia is more important than China-Kazakhstan relations.

Su Cheng knew about the past and future lives of Anda Line. After hearing Lin Yonggui's words, he smiled and said, "It is different to intending to sign a contract. Anda Line was proposed by a Russian private company and has no affiliation with the government. No matter how capable Zhang Changting has, he has to chew it all. The longer he chews, the more the value of the China-Kazakhstan line is explained."

"If he really can't get it down, things will be easier."

"He has made every effort to negotiate, and it is up to two or three months, which is enough for him to bear. If we can convince the headquarters to accept the China-Karabakh line during this period, it would be a step forward." Su Cheng said with a strange laugh and said, "Zhang Changting went to Moscow, he would not be able to remotely control the headquarters."

Lin Yonggui was immediately happy.
