After returning to Alma-Ata, no one informed Yao Yuan to attend the meeting attended by Dai Lao, and he did not even get to see Du Zhiguo, who had personally transferred him.
This made Yao Yuan have to doubt Du Zhiguo's purpose of transferring him to the business inspection team.
However, not attending the meeting was in line with Yao Yuan's wishes, because Mr. Dai must know about Dongfeng Group and who the actual controller of Dongfeng Group is. The big boss doesn't have time to look at the list of business inspection groups, and he won't go with so many people.
Remember these small things, but once he sees Yao Yuan, Dai Lao will definitely recognize him.
If you can reveal your true identity later, do so later.
On the sixth day, Dai Lao, Du Zhiguo, Director Wang and others returned to China. For them, the visit was over. Some who had completed their tasks also went back. The only ones left were the Petrochemical Corporation, the Mining Corporation and
The commercial representative of the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
They will stay for at least ten days, while Liu Zhiyuan and others from Petrochemical Corporation need to wait until the situation becomes clear before they can return home.
Although Nazaryev did not show it, he was very anxious in his heart. The order to move the capital has been issued, but no major actions have been taken. If this continues, his support rate will be affected.
Therefore, he will not wait long and will definitely determine the partner as soon as possible.
Yao Yuan wants to act alone. At this time, the status of a government cadre becomes very troublesome. It requires approval and has many restrictions.
He tried various methods but could not realize it because he had to work alone for several days to arrange the Oriental Petroleum plan.
In desperation, he could only use his free time every day to meet with Lin Xiaohu in the manor hotel, and send instructions through Lin Xiaohu, or give instructions through satellite phones.
Big bosses from the Dongfeng Group, including Xiao Jiabing, Lu Sen, and Su Wangting, have gathered in Almaty. This time it is not just a matter of victory or defeat for Dongfang Petroleum, but an issue related to the future development of Dongfeng Group in the country.
If the anti-private economic faction gains the upper hand, Dongfeng Group may consider gradually abandoning the domestic market. This is the worst outcome and what Yao Yuan least wants to see.
It can be said that this time is a life-and-death battle for Dongfeng Group.
The situation on Yao Yuan's side is not optimistic. The key is that there is still no news about Xia Honghua and Wen Tiejun. As leaders of a certain level, they have not shown up for such a long time. The chance of seeing them in the future is generally very slim.
This shows that the situation is very serious, and the competition for Kazakhstan’s oil and gas operating concessions is not only a competition with foreign oil companies, but also the first confrontation between private enterprises and state-owned enterprises on the international stage - if Petrochemical Corporation refuses to cooperate with Dongfeng Group
, then it means that confrontation is inevitable.
This will be the first confrontation between the two factions.
On the morning of the eleventh day, the Kazakh government sent invitations to all oil companies and would hold a meeting three days later, on the morning of January 19, 1996. At the meeting, the situation of each oil company would be fully considered and cooperation would be chosen on the spot.
object.
This was huge news, and oil companies immediately started preparing like clockwork.
On the morning of that day, Su Jianmin met with Liu Zhiyuan on behalf of Dongfang Petroleum and expressed his intention to cooperate in the development of Kazakhstan's oil and gas field resources and compete with foreign oil companies. Liu Zhiyuan did not reply on the spot, and this matter was not his decision.
However, in the afternoon, Liu Zhiyuan formally replied to Su Jianmin via phone, and the answer was rejection.
Petrochemical Corporation will separately strive for operating concessions for Kazakhstan’s oil and gas fields.
When the news reached Yao Yuan, he was not surprised. He could even guess the reason why the Petrochemical Corporation refused.
It’s very simple. Oriental Petroleum is a private oil company. The private oil company was able to obtain the Sedan Oilfield and drill ultra-high-yield oil wells which shocked the world. Why can’t a state-owned oil company as big as Petrochemical Corporation take over Kazakhstan’s oil and gas resource concession rights alone?
Yao Yuan even believed that Petrochemical Corporation must have been promised that they would be given a considerable amount of foreign exchange to support their plan.
After listening to Su Jianmin's report, Yao Yuan said calmly, "In that case, let's follow our plan. Are we all ready?"
"We're ready, just wait for the 19th. Mr. Yao, what should you do? Can you participate?" Su Jianmin asked.
Yao Yuan said, "Whether I participate or not will have little impact."
"We don't feel confident about such a big matter without you." When Su Jianmin spoke, he looked sideways at the big guys from the Dongfeng Department who were all sitting there.
Except for the annual general meeting, it is almost impossible to see such a scene. Anyone here has the ability to influence the economy of a country or a region.
Yu Yongan, Gao Jian, Pan Jie, Hua Zhenghao, Wan Quangui, Zhou Fei and Xue Zheng, general manager of New United Airlines, and others all came.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I'll fight for it, but you still have to be prepared for me not to show up."
Once he comes forward, it means that he will no longer be a state cadre.
Everyone knew that it was difficult for Yao Yuan to choose, so they stopped forcing it.
Yao Yuan had just hung up the phone when an unknown number called in. For confidentiality reasons, he used a satellite phone to contact Su Jianmin, and not many people could call him on his satellite phone.
He answered the call in confusion and heard Zhang Huaide's voice.
"Mr. Yao, I am Zhang Huaide."
Yao Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Huaide to call at this time.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Yao Yuan sat down and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.
Fortunately, Chen Hai was out negotiating with Kazakhstan's aviation department today, otherwise it would have been difficult to answer the call. Yao Yuan thought to himself that if Chen Hai did not return to China soon, he would have to find a room to live in, otherwise it would be inconvenient to say many things.
.
Zhang Huaide seemed to have no intention of making small talk. He seemed to be hesitating and asked, "Mr. Yao is in Almaty now, right?"
Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment. Did Zhang Huaide know that he was in politics?
This shouldn't be the case. People who know that he is in politics have all been informed and will not speak out. They are all trustworthy people. Furthermore, Xiao Jiabing was specifically responsible for contacting Zhang Huaide for the East Coast Petrochemical Base project. Yao Yuan rarely interfered with Zhang Huaide.
During the whole year, I couldn't talk to him on the phone or see him in person.
Zhang Huaide said with a smile, "I know some news. Many of your capable generals have gone to Almaty. For such a big battle, you must be there, right?"
I see.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I'm in Almaty. What instructions does Mr. Zhang have?"
"Don't say that." Zhang Huaide said slowly, with an inaudible tone. After a pause, he said, "I shouldn't have made this call. Mr. Yao, to be honest, it's a pleasure to work with you. Dong
The progress of the shore petrochemical base is also very rapid."
The most worrying thing happened.
Yao Yuan waited patiently for the next chapter.
Zhang Huaide said in a deep voice, "I am making this call to ask you to give up Kazakhstan's oil concession. If you don't participate, the probability of us taking it is very high. I can only say this much."
Yao Yuan smiled lightly and asked, "What if I don't agree?"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Huaide said in a deep voice, "The Petrochemical Corporation will withdraw from the east coast petrochemical base and restart the construction of the Haicang base. The Nusi refining and chemical base that you cooperated with the Petroleum Corporation will also be affected. Mr. Yao,
You should know that this is not what I meant, and I do not have the power."
Yao Yuan basically guessed it, and he was sure that no matter what he chose, what Zhang Huaide said would happen, because conservatives had begun to suppress private enterprises.
