Chapter 26 Liu Yan

It took the whole afternoon to get to know each other and further understand each other's work situation. In particular, Liu Qiao asked the two to call each other in a friendly tone to each other, so as not to show their flaws in tomorrow's conversation. After getting familiar with the basic routines, they will enter the practical exercise.

Under the supervision of Liu Qiao, Zhao Guodong and Liu Ruotong walked two laps together in Saite and Yansha, and bought whatever they should buy. Zhao Guodong also bought a bamboo carving and two tubes of tea according to Liu Ruotong and Liu Qiao's instructions. It is also a meeting gift for a visit tomorrow. Although it is not expensive, it is not suitable for this first place to be too light and too heavy. It is enough to be able to catch up with it.

After finally sending the Liu sisters away, Zhao Guodong felt relieved. He felt that Liu Ruotong was also tortured by Liu Qiao. However, when he reached this point, neither he nor Liu Ruotong seemed to have no choice. Both of them were reluctant to do so, and they had to bite the bullet and go on.

When Zhao Guodong arrived at Cai Zhengyang's office, it was almost time to get off work after 5 pm. After talking to Zhao Guodong, Cai Zhengyang asked him to go directly to the office. He had some things to do.

When he stepped into Zhao Guodong's office, Zhao Guodong saw the man sitting on the sofa talking to Cai Zhengyang at a glance. He seemed to feel familiar, but he also felt that he had never seen him before.

"Guodong, come here and get to know him. This is Liu Yan, Director of the State Administration of Petroleum and Chemical Industry, Liu Yan, this is Zhao Guodong, and I often mention it to you." Cai Zhengyang smiled and waved to Zhao Guodong to come and take his seat.

"Hello, lucky to know." Zhao Guodong was stunned and then smiled.

"Haha, lucky to know. I have heard Director Cai mention you many times, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet you. Today, I really have a dragon-shaped and tiger-shaped look when I see you. No wonder Director Cai attaches great importance to you so much." A middle-aged man is less than 40 years old, with thick eyebrows and wide face, and a slightly tall nose bridge has a hint of backward hook, which is commonly known as the hooked nose. His eyes are slightly deeper, but his eyes are flashing, as if he wants to see through people's minds at a glance.

"Uh, Brother Yan, I think it's more appropriate to call you Brother Yan. I've heard that Brother Cai mentioned you, saying that you were the first colleague and friend who could sit and talk about him after he arrived in Beijing. I have long admired your name. It's my honor to meet today." Zhao Guodong's compliments came out.

"Okay, Liu Yan, don't praise each other anymore. Guo Dong is a little brother. You have to ask you for advice and benefit from it. Liu Yan, don't hide your own personal information." Cai Zhengyang shook his head and waved his hand, "Sit down, Guo Dong, Liu Yan and I are discussing work matters. If you don't think it's boring, you can listen."

Zhao Guodong also sat down with peace of mind and listened to the two of them discussing work.

The work discussed mainly focuses on the two who visited Kazakhstan with the Prime Minister. In September, the two visited Kazakhstan with the Prime Minister and made a very important work visit to Kazakhstan. The Prime Minister's separate visit to a country in Central Asia has attracted the attention of some countries, but it has not attracted attention at home. Zhao Guodong also knows that it is probably Cai Zhengyang's strategic assessment report on the medium- and long-term situation of the country's energy, which attracted the attention of the central government.

Cai Zhengyang also mentioned to Zhao Guodong that to be precise, the two of them had negotiated on this issue. On the issue of Kazakhstan, Cai Zhengyang strongly advocated that the country should strongly support state-owned energy enterprises to enter Kazakhstan, seek joint ventures or sole proprietorship to exploit Kazakhstan oil and natural gas resources, and at the same time actively prepared to build an energy pipeline plan that spans the inland China from the eastern coast to Xinjiang and enters Central Asia to the Caspian Sea. Although this plan has also attracted the attention of some central leaders, it has also caused some controversy in the economic circle, that is, it seems too advanced and the investment is too huge. At present, China's energy problem does not seem to be so nervous that it needs to implement such a plan.

However, Cai Zhengyang found a strong supporter within the Economic and Trade Commission, that is Liu Yan. Liu Yan is a top student who graduated from Renmin University of China and has a lot of research on the international situation. Cai Zhengyang's opinions resonated with him. Although he is only a department-level cadre, his energy in some aspects is not comparable to that of Cai Zhengyang, and Cai Zhengyang is also quite clear about this.

The like-minded two immediately became the strong advocates of the national energy medium- and long-term strategic plan proposed by Cai Zhengyang, especially Liu Yan was also looking for supporters among well-known scholars from the Central Policy Research Office, the State Council Policy Research Office, the Academy of Social Sciences, and several major universities in Beijing. He formed an influential research group to support the plan proposed by Cai Zhengyang.

Zhao Guodong was also quite interested in the discussion between the two. In fact, this view was the first to him to Cai Zhengyang. However, the information and information obtained by Cai Zhengyang as the deputy director of the State Economic and Trade Commission is a hundred times richer than that of Zhao Guodong. The inside story he knew is more detailed and comprehensive, and he is more conscientious and step-by-step when considering some issues. However, he agreed with Zhao Guodong's statement that the energy crisis and the control of Central Asia energy ensured the security of China's energy supply. This is also the original intention of the country's medium- and long-term energy strategic planning idea that he initiated.

"Brother Cai, Brother Yan, the country actually has many ways and strategies to support the development of state-owned energy enterprises. The financial department provides financial support, the national financial department provides policy support, and the guarantee of infrastructure are all means." Zhao Guodong saw the two of them talking lively, and could not help but interrupt. "Especially in infrastructure construction, I think the national energy strategy can be combined with the development of the economy in the central and western regions of my country. Now the development gap between the central and western regions of my country is increasing. I believe that the central leaders have also noticed this point, especially in the inland areas of the northwest. The Southern Xinjiang Railway is under active construction. Once built, it can be established as a bridgehead for the countries of Central Asia. From there, it can extend westward directly to the heart of the Eurasian continent, and the energy in the Caspian Sea region is constantly used by me. The investment and construction of these infrastructures is not only conducive to alleviating the current fatigue economic growth rate in my country," he said.

"Guodong, many domestic experts and scholars have also controversial about the establishment of an energy channel connecting the western part of China to Central Asia, especially this requires a considerable amount of capital investment and time-consuming and labor-consuming. They feel that my country's energy situation is relatively stable at present, and international oil prices are also at a suitable price. We can fully guarantee our country's crude oil needs through sea transportation." Liu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked intentionally.

"Frog in the well!" Zhao Guodong snorted contemptuously. What he could do for the country now was to influence the national energy strategy through the two people in front of him. If he could do it, he could at least pay hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars less for his country's energy demand in ten years, and also establish a relatively good energy security channel for the country, and lay the foundation for the country to expand its influence in Central Asia.

Liu Yan was not angry but happy. He had heard Cai Zhengyang praise the young man in front of him for a long time, especially when Cai Zhengyang introduced some of Zhao Guodong's views, it was indeed refreshing. Such a character with such a profound and distant viewpoint was just a young man in his twenties. However, this only aroused his interest. If a scholar specializing in this research, it is hard to say that he could have such a view. However, this guy is not a role like a scholar, but a real grassroots cadre, and has served as the county party secretary of a county party committee!

As a leader in the political family, Liu Yan naturally knows the meaning and weight of the county party secretary. If the county party secretary is a senior official who works in central ministries and commissions, it is naturally no problem, but this is often the basis for an official to make a fortune. Many provincial and ministerial officials have moved step by step from the position of county party secretary to senior leadership positions. The central senior officials are now paying more and more attention to the grassroots work experience of officials. In their opinion, only by being the role of a county master who has been the one who has been on his own can he truly shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing one party.

It was precisely because of this curiosity that Liu Yan became very interested in this guy. Even when Cai Zhengyang mentioned that this guy was married, he intended to make a cousin meet and meet with this guy. Cai Zhengyang also agreed quite well and immediately arranged for Zhao Guodong to come to Beijing.

Liu Yan of course also knew Cai Zhengyang's intention. The influence of the Liu family in domestic politics is not comparable to that of a provincial and ministerial-level official or even one or two central leaders. This is also the mark left by the thousand-year history of Chinese politics. If Cai Zhengyang can marry the Liu family through this marriage between Zhao Guodong and the Liu family, it will not only find greater room for Zhao Guodong to rise, but also provide a potential group-like support for Cai Zhengyang to display his political ambitions.

Cai Zhengyang is not a person in the Chi. Liu Yan knew that he could receive high praise from Vice Premier Hong, who is known as the "iron-fisted and loyal" in China. This guy's success is just around the corner. The National People's Congress is actively discussing the position of Minister of Energy to be restored. This guy is the only guy. Even if he has the support of his family influence, it is already quite good to be able to win the position of deputy minister.
