The A-320 took off from the Capital Airport and flew to Almaty, the capital of Kazakhstan, 4,000 kilometers away with the worried Yao Yuan.
Kazakhstan has a very large land area of 2.8 million square kilometers and is the largest landlocked country in the world. It has a population of 17 million and a population density of 7 people per square kilometer. The population density of Xinjiang in my country is sparse, but Kazakhstan is even sparser.
During the Qing Dynasty, Almaty was a Chinese territory and was under the jurisdiction of General Ili. Many people know that there were Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, which were once our territory. During the Republic of China, Outer Mongolia became independent and became Mongolia. But many people don’t know that we have
Yili Prefecture, and Waiyili.
Waiyili refers to the southwest area of the Alatau Mountains where Almaty is located. Because of the irrigation by many rivers, the land is fertile. In addition to producing grains, orchards have also been opened, most of which are apple orchards. Therefore, Almaty has
Known as Apple City.
This history was told to everyone by Chiang Kai-shek during his trip. This old comrade was very knowledgeable about history.
When the plane began to descend, Comrade Chiang Kai-shek sighed and said, "Our ancestors left us a lot of land, but it's a pity that future generations are not living up to expectations..."
Old comrades can lament that young people can only express their opinions with a smile because it involves diplomatic relations.
Yao Yuan also felt deeply in his heart, but it was a pity that he was not a soldier, and it was no longer the same place it was a hundred years ago. The place that had been lost and had become someone else's territory, I am afraid there would be no chance to get it back.
Almaty is very beautiful. It can be said to be the most beautiful and prosperous city among the five capitals of Central Asia. It is full of Central Asian humanities and has all the characteristics of a modern and prosperous city.
If it were not close to the southeastern border, Nazarbayev would be reluctant to move the capital away from this city. It is not an easy task to build a brand new city as the new capital on a wasteland.
In fact, Nazarbayev announced this decision as early as 1994 to complete the capital relocation before 2000. In September this year, he announced the start of the capital relocation plan and issued an order to move the capital.
It is already January 1996. Is it too late for Yao Yuan to come here at this time?
In fact, this is not the case. The start-up plan is a start-up plan. The question is whether Kazakhstan has this capability. Of course it does, but it will take a long time.
Yao Yuan knew that Nazarbayev could not wait that long. He hoped to complete the capital relocation faster. Therefore, when opening the oil and gas fields to foreign cooperation, he required foreign oil companies to contribute to Kazakhstan's capital relocation plan.
.
This is the advantage of Dongfang Petroleum and Huaxia Petroleum Enterprises.
A large number of construction engineering companies have obtained a large number of projects in Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, the United Arab Emirates and other countries because of Oriental Petroleum, most of which are infrastructure projects.
As long as Dongfang Petroleum speaks, it will be able to organize a large-scale team to help Kazakhstan build a new capital in the shortest possible time.
This is why Yao Yuan asked the two major engineering companies, Centennial Construction and Centennial Road and Bridge, managed by Wan Quangui, to prepare.
But the problem now is that if the national team wants to compete for Kazakhstan’s oil and gas field resources under the same conditions, the national team can mobilize even greater construction engineering power!
This is the biggest problem that Yao Yuan is currently facing, and it is also a very difficult question to make. He can only wait and see what happens.
There was another situation that Yao Yuan couldn't figure out - the Petroleum Corporation only sent two division-level cadres to accompany him, while the Petrochemical Corporation sent a vice president instead.
In a business inspection group focusing on the cooperative development of oil and natural gas energy, the boss of the petroleum system actually sent only two little shrimps. It is really puzzling.
Chen Hai didn't have Yao Yuan's worries. He looked around enthusiastically as soon as he got off the plane, without feeling tired from the long-distance flight.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China sent five people this time, two were leaders and two were old comrades. The only person in charge was Chen Hai. He was happy to hang out with Yao Yuan, who was relatively close to him, and did not look at the faces of those old men, so he kept talking to them.
Yao Yuan travels with us.
"Lao Yao, let's share a room. I told the team leader that we should have a good chat about aviation. I think your insights into the aviation market are very unique." Chen Hai said.
Yao Yuan said calmly, "No problem."
He also had the idea of taking an exam at Chen Hai's school, and that was exactly what he wanted to do.
A deputy prime minister from Kazakhstan came to pick him up at the airport, and he paid great attention to the Chinese business inspection group. However, the business inspection group was not considered a real business inspection group until Mr. Dai and his party were picked up by the deputy prime minister of Kazakhstan. There were also Kazakhstan
The Ministry of Industry and Trade arranged for Yao Yuan and others.
At this time, Yao Yuan learned that Du Zhiguo and Director Wang of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation were both members of Dai Lao's entourage and were members of the diplomatic delegation.
The people specifically in charge of the business inspection group are actually department-level cadres from various ministries and commissions, including Zhan Shengcai. The highest-ranking person is Liu Zhiyuan, the deputy general manager of Petrochemical Corporation, who is the leader of the business inspection group.
Seeing Yao Yuan watching the convoy of Dai Lao and his entourage leave, Chen Hai explained with a smile, "It's not surprising. It's diplomacy and business in one. This is also a way to save money. There is no need for the two groups to come in two times.
How can Mr. Dai do a specific inspection? What they want to discuss are national affairs, and we are the ones who do the specific work."
Yao Yuan came back to his senses, smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is indeed true."
When leaders visit overseas, business delegations accompany them. This practice will become more and more common in the future, especially when domestic companies are facing pressure to “go global”.
Kazakhstan attaches great importance to business delegations from China and arranges a very high-end hotel, a Central Asian-style manor-style hotel with greenery everywhere, small bridges and flowing water, which is completely contrary to the desert-like desolation that some people have in mind.
Many people think that going west is either a desert or a Gobi, or a mountainous area with no grass. In the eyes of many people, Central Asia is a desolate land, a barren land. How could there be such a beautiful city? How could there be such a beautiful city?
Such a beautiful hotel.
Lao Jiang and other three old comrades could not move their eyes. They believed that no matter how bad China was, its economy was still better than that of several Central Asian countries. Unexpectedly, this manor-style hotel shook their views.
Is China not even as good as its younger brothers in the Soviet Union?
Yao Yuan had a good impression of Chiang Kai-shek and three other old comrades, and said with a smile, "Almaty is the largest city in Kazakhstan and has the best economy. It is also one of the largest and best cities among the five Central Asian countries. It can be said that Kazakhstan's
The essence is all here.”
When he said this, Chiang Kai-shek and the other three old comrades, who had just felt inferior in their hearts, quickly recovered and regained their confidence in the motherland.
Yes, the essence of a country is here, isn’t it?
No matter how bad China is, it can still find several cities that are better than Almaty.
When I think about it this way, I feel much more comfortable.
