Chapter 2080: Two Pipelines
"what!?"
Cherosenko suddenly exclaimed, then sat down with a slap on the forehead, but his expression became even more unpredictable.
The Angarsk Line refers to a major cooperation project between Huaguo and Russia. It refers to the oil transportation pipeline from Angarsk Oilfield in Siberia, Russia to Daqing, Huaguo.
Once this oil pipeline is completed, Russian crude oil will be continuously transported to Daqing, China. After going through Daqing's powerful oil refinery, various petroleum products will be produced and supplied to the whole country.
The Anta line can not only avoid the safety and cost problems of maritime transportation, but also because Russia and China are directly bordering each other, so it is very convenient. It can not only meet the oil sales of Russia, but also meet the oil needs of China. Win-win.
However, it is a pity that this plan has been negotiated since 1994. After ten years, it was finally interrupted regrettably.
Among them are the results of the Japanese successfully fooling the Russians, and the result of Yushchenko's CEO who was out of his head and went to the Russian tsar to single out the results, and the results of political factors...etc. It is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
But now, the situation is completely different.
First of all, the Japanese fooled the Russians miserably. As soon as the Anda-Dalian line was stopped, they immediately stopped the construction of the pipeline from Russia to Japan that they falsely claimed.
Then the president of Yushchenko, who used to be the richest man in Russia, is already in prison, and there is no threat to the Russian tsar, and the Russian energy group is firmly in his hands inside.
Finally, the current international environment in Russia is worse than it was a few years ago. Westerners have gradually realized how difficult the powerful general manager of Russia is. They are becoming more vigilant against Russia day by day. In such an environment Now, the tsar would be foolish if he didn't want to find a reliable ally who could help each other.
Before Xiao Qi was reincarnated in his previous life. In November 2013, the president of Ukraine was under the tacit approval of Russia. Directly want to break with the West and move closer to Russia.
Although Xiao Qi did not look at the final result in his previous life, as a buffer between Russia and the European Union, the Ukrainian president's decision does not need to think too much, and it will definitely cause an uproar.
According to what Xiao Qi is thinking now, either a crisis broke out in Ukraine, or it was directly torn into two opposing sides. Then Russia and the EU fought in the air.
Because no one has reason to back down.
It is impossible for the EU to let itself have no buffer with Russia, and it is impossible for Ukraine to join Russia to enhance their strength.
The same is true in Russia. The eastern part of Ukraine is full of Russians. If they are ignored, how will the Russian tsar explain to the people?
The European Union and the United States wear the same pair of pants. If the European Union and the United States attack Russia together, Russia must only ask China for help. Because from the perspective of politics, economy and military, there is nothing more suitable than Huaguo.
Therefore, Huaguo and Russia will become allies sooner or later, at least until the United States has not ended their dominance. It is certain that this alliance will be very strong.
Since there will be this foundation sooner or later, Xiao Qi should push it forward now. It never hurts to see if it works.
You know, the international environment that Huaguo faces is not at all easier than that of Russia.
The energy problem is like being strangled by someone, making Huaguo very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Cherosenko remained silent, Xiao Qi continued to smile and said: "Of course, I am just a suggestion. You must go back and discuss how to do it... But I can give you a guarantee here. Once this Once the line is repaired, the annual purchase from Russia will not be less than 100 million tons. How about it?"
"100 million tons?" Cherosenko became interested, "Really?"
You know, it is now 2008, and Russia's annual export this year is no more than 200 million tons at most, and it was only 178 million tons in 2007.
If Huaguo can solve half of the problem, it will definitely be very powerful.
Similarly, if Xiao Qi hadn't appeared, Huaguo's imports in the past few years would have been about 250 million tons, and 40% of them could be imported from Russia, which would be a big reliance.
But now that Niu Ruzheng is expanding the oil storage site that can accommodate 5 billion tons, that is, 36.7 billion barrels, it is not a problem to import more oil while the price of oil is cheap.
And this channel is not prepared for now. Its biggest role is that if Huaguo is blocked, then there is another channel that can be rescued, which lies in an external reliance-don't block me, anyway, you blocked it I can still buy from Russia!
"Really!" Xiao Qi said, "You can go and negotiate with our country's officials... You also know that we Hua people are more shameless than you Russians. As long as we sign the agreement, it will never change!"
Foreigners have no problem with speaking directly.
Hearing what Xiao Qi said, Cherosenko shrugged and said with a smile: "Then, can Director Xiao introduce to me the officials you are familiar with?"
The old man is not stupid, knowing what Xiao Qi said, he must have communicated with Hua Guo officials.
Xiao Qi said: "If President Cherosenko doesn't mind, then I will arrange it... In addition, I have another suggestion, which will definitely make you pay more attention, maybe you can directly get two to three billion US dollars to pay for oil Oh!"
"What suggestion, Mr. Xiao, please tell me!" Cherosenko said with great interest.
"In addition to oil, our natural gas resources in China are also very scarce." Xiao Qi said indifferently: "I heard that Russia sends a large amount of natural gas to Europe every year, are you interested in building a pipeline for China as well? Our needs are greater than that of the whole of Europe!"
"Haha, I can't decide this matter. It's a matter of Gazprom." Cherosenko laughed loudly, "But your proposal is also very interesting, and I will pass it on to them."
"it is good!"
Xiao Qi also knows that this is just an intention now, how to do it specifically, it must be a very serious negotiation.
For example, the natural gas pipeline plan, in fact, after the interruption of the Anda-Dalian line in 2003, Huaguo and Russia were negotiating, and it was not discussed until 2013.
The same is true for the restart of the Anta line. It is obviously unrealistic to rush to negotiate in a short time.
But now, taking advantage of the danger of others, it is still possible to speed up the negotiation process a little bit.
"Then, Mr. Cherosenko, please wait for my news. In just these two days, I will invite our country's government committee members to meet you." Xiao Qi smiled after accepting Cherosenko's business card on the road.
Huaguo's system was changed from Russia's. Cherosenko immediately understood what the government committee members represented, and looked at Xiao Qi with more solemnity.
"Wait a minute, Director Xiao!"
Xiao Qi almost walked out of the gate, but Cherosenko hurried over.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Qi asked in surprise.
"Hehe." Cherosenko smiled mysteriously, and handed Xiao Qi an envelope, "Call me when you are satisfied, as many as you want!"
Xiao Qi was a little puzzled, and when he got back to the car, he saw that the envelope was full of photos, photos of Russian beauties, all of them were very beautiful.
The back of the photo is the information of these Russian beauties, including Russian singers, movie stars, gymnasts, divers, models...
Xiao Qi was dazzled by seeing it, and he put it on the sofa next to him after a while.
The Russian Ocean Horse really deserves its reputation!
Xiao Qi smiled slightly, but dialed Niu Ruzheng's phone number.
The boy likes beautiful women, but he doesn't like this kind of beautiful women who are traded and bought, so he just looks at them and appreciates them, and has no other thoughts.
After explaining what happened in detail, Niu Ruzheng was silent for a long time.
Of course he knew the regret of the Anda-Da line, and he also knew how important a land oil pipeline and a land gas pipeline were to China.
"Do you think they will give in?" Niu Ruzheng asked slowly.
"Look, anyway, it's not us who are in a hurry now." Xiao Qi laughed.
"But what if they tore up the agreement after reaching the agreement?" Niu Ruzheng asked, it's not that Huaguo has never suffered from the old man.
"It probably won't happen this time!" Xiao Qi said, "Firstly, Russia's political situation is stable. If they want to develop their economy, they must act according to the contract. Otherwise, who would dare to do business with them? Second, their external environment It’s not very good. It’s always better to have a back road from our country in China. Third, Russia is waiting for money to save lives. Orders worth tens of billions of dollars are enough to make them tempted, and they are not one or two orders. If you break the contract, you have to consider the consequences, right? Fourth, and most importantly, in the long run, oil pipelines and natural gas pipelines are good for both countries. Their powerful tsar will not look down Arrived."
Listening to Xiao Qi's analysis, Niu Ruzheng nodded slowly.
"Then let's talk about it first!" Niu Ruzheng said, "If our negotiation is successful, can your $50 billion oil deal be implemented in Russia?"
"No problem." Xiao Qi said, "But Uncle Niu, I want to make an agreement that the oil is mine, and I will pay for storage and refining costs, so don't be greedy for it."
"Look at how promising you are! You really are a small peasant with a serious mind!" Niu Ruzheng couldn't help scolding, "Do I look like that kind of person? The country still lacks your little oil? Get out, and don't make me angry!"
Xiao Qi hung up the phone with a smile, and nodded secretly.
It can be seen that Niu Ruzheng is very interested in Russia's oil pipelines and natural gas pipelines.
Diversification of energy imports is not just a slogan!
Although Lao Maozi is not very kind, but if the pipeline is repaired, it will be much easier to buy and sell!
At that time, the two countries were able to buy and sell oil and natural gas quietly, and it was impossible for the United States to know the specific amount!
This kind of free trade is really a joyful thing! (to be continued ~^~)
