At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining obliquely.
In the reception room of Building 6 in the exclusive villa area of the State Guest Diaoyutai Hotel, Mo Zhexuan and Wu Kuobin, who had just arrived, sat opposite each other.
The aroma of tea wafts from the exquisite tea set, and the conversation of the two people echoes in the quiet space.
"Xiaoxuan! This is the current situation.
We have no objection to your participation in the Yacheng gas field project.
After all, we are all one family and we all hope that our motherland will prosper."
Deep down, Wu Kuobin really hopes that the other party can join the Yacheng gas field project.
Moreover, the other party’s investment in the mainland has exceeded 100 million RMB.
This is a real political achievement, and it is not impossible to make further progress in the future.
But there are some things that he cannot decide, as the country is extremely poor now.
We need to consider the overall situation from all aspects. The Americans are now almost invincible, and their relationship with the polar bears has never recovered since they became deteriorating.
What can we do if we don’t get support from Western countries in our current reform and opening up?
These are the realities. Although we know that the US Arco Oil Company has an arrogant attitude, what can we do?
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to hide his loneliness. In the blink of an eye, a spring-like smile appeared on his face again. After a moment of consideration, he continued:
“But the current situation is that the US Arco Oil Company has a very tough attitude.
They don't want to bring in third-party partners and even threaten to withdraw from the cooperation.
We don’t want to be coerced, but we are at the mercy of others.”
"On the one hand, the US company Arco Petroleum has been deeply involved in the oil and other resource sectors for many years and has both the technology and the capital.
On the other hand, the other side has the United States behind it, and reform and opening up want to succeed.
It is impossible to do so without the support of the world’s largest economy and military power…”
"I understand what you mean. Actually, I didn't hold out much hope for this plan, but I wanted to give it a try."
Mo Zhexuan took a sip of tea calmly, his expression very relaxed.
It seems like he doesn't take this cooperation project seriously at all.
But then a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly:
"But I have never given up halfway along the way.
I won’t give up easily until the last moment, after all, everything depends on human effort! "
"Could you give me another week? I'd like to personally talk to the representative of the American Arco Oil Company.
If nothing works after a week, I will completely give up and stop cooperating."
Wu Kuobin has been an official for decades and naturally possesses a strong aura.
But today, he was intrigued by the unique aura emanating from Mo Zhexuan, and he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he could succeed.
After thinking for no more than three seconds, he nodded firmly and said:
"I'll help you with this for a week anyway."
"Uncle Wu, whether it succeeds or not, I will always be grateful to you."
"I want to thank you for supporting the development of our motherland."
“...........”
The two chatted for a while, and then Wu Kuobin said goodbye and left.
Mo Zhexuan cordially invited him to have dinner together in the evening, but the other party wanted to go back and report quickly, so they could only find another time to get together.
In the past few days, Li Changyong asked him to attend parties several times and wanted to introduce some people to him, but he refused every time.
The main thing is that I ride my bike around Beijing every day, and when I come back I'm so tired that I don't want to move.
.......
Zhonghai, in an antique office.
Wu Kuobin, who had just left the State Guest Diaoyutai State Hotel, rushed here without stopping, ready to admit his mistake to his old leader.
"Comrade Xixian! I want to admit my mistake. I agreed to give Mo Zhexuan a week without any organization or discipline. I will request disciplinary action from my superiors."
Wu Kuobin told the whole story in detail.
The reason why he chose to agree immediately was that he was sure that the old man would support it.
"The punishment is too severe. Mo Zhexuan is our fellow Hong Konger, one of us.
We already felt bad for rejecting the other party, so giving them a week is reasonable, and you were right to agree immediately."
The old man is now becoming more and more interested in this young man whom he has never met.
I am also more curious about how he plans to convince the profit-driven American Arco Oil Company.
"Do you think he can succeed?"
"I met him three times in total, and I found him to be very sophisticated in both his conduct and his work, and he considered the long term.
This time, I observed the tone of his voice and found that he was very confident and believed that he could succeed.
Wu Kuobin was not someone who would be easily influenced by others, but his instinct told him that the other party would definitely succeed.
This intuition helped him avoid countless crises during his decades-long career as an official.
"I'm also very curious about what he will do. Americans are people who worship the strong and value strength above all else.
It's not easy to get them to back down. Without the corresponding strength, it's impossible. We'll wait and see."
The old man took a deep puff of his cigarette and put out the almost burned-out butt in the ashtray.
He looked out the window with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and then changed the subject and continued:
“The projects invested by the other party should be coordinated with various departments as soon as possible, and wait until the official signing date.
I will be there to meet this interesting young man."
"We have now finalized the implementation of the Guangshi milk tea project after negotiations.
The main point of disagreement now is the issue of the Changbai Mountain Chinese herbal medicine cultivation base.
However, we should be able to find common ground and reach a preliminary cooperative investment agreement in the next few days."
"That'll do."
