"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about business."
Yao Yuan brought the topic back and said, "It's still about the oil pipeline. Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan have all agreed to the pipeline's transit. Mr. Wen, I have solved the overseas matters, but the Petroleum Corporation can handle the domestic matters.
Are you responsible?"
Wen Tiejun said with a grimace, "Xiao Yao, you are posing a problem for me. I have talked with Director Xia several times. We are negotiating with Russia for the Ananda-Dalian line. It is really difficult to build a second pipeline at this time."
."
The emergence of Xinrihua gave Yao Yuan a stronger sense of crisis. This move showed that Japan will compete with China for oil pipelines in all directions. Thanks to the appreciation of the yen, they have extremely abundant funds and strong overseas purchasing power.
However, this is almost the end of the war. By 1995 at the latest, the Japanese economy will usher in twenty lost years, and economic development will stagnate from then on.
The problem is that Yao Yuan cannot wait until 1995. Many major events will happen in the 1990s. Each time node will have a huge impact on the overseas business activities of Chinese companies, such as the purchase of the Varyag. If decisive measures are not taken before 1992,
If you buy it and drag it back to your country, you have to wait another ten years. Ten years, how many decades are there in life, and how many ten-year windows does a country have to develop its comprehensive national strength?
Therefore, we must make these pipelines ready in the shortest possible time, and we must make every effort to get the oil fields we have the opportunity to get.
Therefore, Yao Yuan said decisively, "I have adjusted the pipeline route plan. It will cross the Caspian Sea from the Baku oil field and then go northeast through the four countries of Stan and enter Karamay."
"Karamay Oilfield?" Sure enough, Wen Tiejun became interested.
This is an oil field belonging to the National Petroleum Corporation, but the superiors intentionally assigned it to the Petrochemical Corporation. The current output of the Karamay Oilfield is quite high, and the Petroleum Corporation is reluctant to part with it, but there is no other way.
Yao Yuan nodded, "Yes, if the Petroleum Corporation participates in the Bak-Kak oil pipeline project, you will have enough reasons to take hold of the Karamay Oilfield. On the contrary, the Petrochemical Corporation will definitely be interested."
While Wen Tiejun was thinking, Yao Yuan analyzed, "You know I also have business in Russia. A considerable part of the oilfield services in the Tyumen Oilfield are provided by Dongfang Petroleum. We have relatively strong connections in Moscow, so it is easier to obtain some information."
Wen Tiejun nodded slightly. He had seen this before. Even the army had to ask Yao Yuan for help when buying Russian fighter planes.
Yao Yuan said, "Japan has secretly contacted Russia and proposed the Annan Line plan. The end point of the pipeline is Nakhodka, a port city in Russia's Far East. The Russians are not very positive about the Annan-Dalian Line. I know you have talked with them. They
Their attitude was very negative. After the Japanese proposed the Annan Line, they not only gave them an excuse to delay, but also gave them the best reason to bargain."
Lin Xiaohu took a report at the right time and handed it to Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan opened it and looked at it. After confirming that it was intelligence information transmitted from Moscow, he handed it to Wen Tiejun.
Wen Tiejun spent more than ten minutes reading the not-so-long document and fell into deep thought.
Yao Yuan said, "Judging from the current situation, the plan to lay an oil pipeline from Russia into the country will not be discussed for another seven or eight years. Besides, you have to know that the situation within Russia is not stable, and there may be another one."
Something happened to make the plan aborted."
Historically, it took more than ten years of discussion before it was completed and opened. It took too long.
"But the Buck Line does not have these problems. It is optimistically estimated that construction may be carried out in one year." Yao Yuan tried his best to persuade Wen Tiejun, "Ten thousand steps back, is one oil pipeline enough? In that case, it will inevitably have a negative impact on our country's economy.
The development speed is too unconfident. I boldly predict that in thirty years, our country will have to import at least 500 million tons of oil every year to meet consumption needs."
Wen Tiejun almost choked to death on his own saliva. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "How is that possible?"
"When we become the world's second largest economy, anything is possible." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Wen Tiejun shook his head, "That will be a hundred years later."
Yao Yuan said, "Even if only 100 million tons are imported, that is not enough for one pipeline. The annual oil transportation capacity of the Anda-Dalian Line you proposed is 15 million tons, and the designed annual oil transportation capacity of our Buck Line is 30 million tons."
"
"Looking at it from another perspective, you can even use the Barker Line as a bargaining chip in negotiations. If the Russians are not enthusiastic about the Ananda Line, then we will turn to the Barker Line."
Wen Tiejun felt that this was completely feasible, but Yao Yuan's ultimate goal was to facilitate the Buck Line entry, which was not something he could make a decision on, but he had a very strong say.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Tiejun asked, "What are the conditions? How to cooperate?"
"The establishment of an oil pipeline construction company, the establishment of the Barker Pipeline Operation Company, the establishment of a refining company, and the construction of a petrochemical plant and a refinery in Karamay allow the National Petroleum Corporation to participate. To be honest, this pipeline is not only a national strategy but also a corporate benefit.
, are all more important than the Antai-Dalian Line. You know these." Yao Yuan said.
Wen Tiejun frowned and said, "But the investment for a three thousand kilometers long pipeline is too big. We don't have that much money."
Yao Yuan said, "There are many ways to invest in shares. The capital contribution ratio of Petroleum Corporation can be slightly greater than the shareholding ratio. These details can be discussed. This is a matter after the cooperation is confirmed, but I believe that there is no problem that can be negotiated
It can’t be solved.”
Wen Tiejun said helplessly, "According to what you said, the Petroleum Corporation may only be able to transfer some shares of Petroleum Group Co., Ltd. to Oriental Petroleum to realize the investment."
"This is also a way." Yao Yuan smiled.
Wen Tiejun knew that Dongfang Petroleum could come up with all the funds on its own. What Yao Yuan wanted was not financial support, but support from connections. What he wanted was for the pipeline to be approved by the state.
"Do you have a specific plan? Give me one and I will report it to you when I return to China." Wen Tiejun finally relented.
"Of course there is."
After taking out the plan and discussing it in detail with Wen Tiejun for more than an hour, Yao Yuan personally walked Wen Tiejun to the door and said, "Mr. Wen, Director Xia supports it. I suggest you communicate with him more."
"Okay, I will return to China the day after tomorrow." Wen Tiejun nodded and strode away.
Things in Abu Dhabi are no longer important. In addition, the separation of oil companies is in progress. Wen Tiejun does not want to stay here for a moment.
However, if he knew that Yao Yuan's statement that the four Stans agreed on the pipeline crossing was a lie, he would probably have the intention to kill Yao Yuan...
