Experience has shown that there are no permanent friendships between nations, only permanent interests. Therefore, we shouldn't think too badly of the other side, nor should we think too highly of them. Being prepared for both possibilities is perhaps the best approach!
Cooperating with Kazakhstan is definitely an action to gain the initiative!
Soon, China made contact with Kazakhstan.
Life was not easy for Kazakhstan either, and in order to improve its domestic economic situation, Kazakhstan was also eager to sell its resources, so the two sides hit it off.
Both sides immediately dispatched personnel to investigate and study the crude oil pipeline route.
In fact, China's demand for oil was not particularly urgent at that time, but the country's development speed was too fast, so the country formulated an energy strategic plan in order to prepare for the future!
The reason why Wujiang Group also got involved was mainly because the country didn't have the money, so Wujiang Group invested in the crude oil pipeline.
Wujiang Group also took this opportunity to enter the oil industry, engaging in oil exploration, development, production and sales.
To this end, Wujiang Group has also established a subsidiary – Wujiang Petrochemical Company!
Zhao Ye established Wujiang Petrochemical Company for two reasons: to make money and to address the threat posed by China's oil and energy resources.
Currently, the domestic economy is still relatively weak, and the country cannot spare the resources to vigorously develop the oil industry.
However, Wujiang Group has ample funds, and money can only create value when it circulates.
Moreover, China's development is accelerating, and its need for oil is increasing, making investment in the oil industry a sure-fire way to make money. If Wujiang Petrochemical Company develops smoothly, its market value will easily exceed 100 billion RMB.
Currently, negotiations between China and the Arctic nations regarding crude oil supply routes are likely to reach a stalemate.
Zhao Ye is more optimistic about cooperation between China and Kazakhstan.
Afterwards, Zhao Ye decided not to participate in the negotiations between China and the Russian states, as it would be a waste of time.
The main reason for this is that the Japanese are stirring things up, but isn't the Russian bear country also taking the opportunity to sell itself at a higher price?
Japan's intentions are clear: to enhance its influence in Asia, influence Sino-Russian cooperation, and sabotage the "Anglo-Dalian Railway" through energy cooperation with India.
Meanwhile, the Russian bear country is waiting for the best price to sell its oil, wanting to sell to China, Japan, and South Korea, and also wanting to raise oil prices to maximize its profits.
Therefore, China in its previous life talked with the other party for more than ten years.
Ultimately, the "Angarsk-Daqing Line" advocated by China was replaced by the "Tay-Nakhodka Line," which was actually an improved version of the "Angarsk-Nakhodka Line" proposed by Japan, namely a modified plan based on the "Angarsk-Nakhodka Line" that moved further away from Lake Baikal.
Judging from the "Taineo Line," the polar bear ultimately chose Japan.
Most importantly, the Taiss-Nakhodka oil pipeline at the time did not include any plans to build a branch line to China. However, to appease its southern neighbor, the Polar Bear National Pipeline Transportation Company stated that, considering the distance to the border is only about 50 kilometers, a branch line could be laid in a short time when conditions were right, which was technically feasible.
Technically, it is indeed feasible.
China did eventually establish an oil pipeline with Russia, but only on the condition that it provide Russia with a $25 billion loan.
Japan has also provided a great deal of loans to Russia.
The polar bear country is playing both sides and making a fortune!
Of course, Zhao Ye's negative impression of Russia wasn't solely due to this incident.
Those familiar with history know this, so there's no need to elaborate here.
People like Zhao Ye, with their rebellious spirit, naturally find it hard to accept.
After all, he is quite patriotic.
Otherwise, why would China need to purchase crude oil from Russia?
China is fully capable of achieving self-sufficiency in oil production.
Even selling oil abroad is not a problem.
China's development will surely be faster than in previous generations.
Moreover, there will be no threat of an oil and energy crisis.
According to statistics, in 2021, China's oil production was 200 million tons, and its imports were 513 million tons, with an external dependence rate of 72%.
We are too dependent on imported oil!
It makes one sigh with envy and admiration for the vast and resource-rich land of the polar bear nation.
In time-travel novels, it is often said that "if you travel to the Qing Dynasty and don't rebel, you'll end up with a chrysanthemum covered in an electric drill."
Zhao Ye often thought that if he were to travel back to the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely overthrow the Qing and restore the Han, and reclaim the lost land.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Right now, if a simple, cold number were to be uttered, no one would fail to feel heartbroken.
—More than 5.88 million square kilometers!!!
...
...
Shock therapy is absolutely a deadly poison.
The chaos in the polar bear country will continue for a long time, which will make it even easier for Wujiang Group to poach people and obtain technical data.
Originally, Zhao Ye was thinking of "leaving a way out" so that he could see her again in the future.
However, the negotiations over the Zhongxiong crude oil pipeline made Zhao Ye realize the true nature of the other party.
Zhao Ye didn't hold back and intensified his efforts to poach talent, and even sent people to the Arctic Bear Country to vigorously promote the happy lives of the Soviets who came to work for the Wujiang Group!
This recruitment drive is no longer limited to researchers and technicians; anyone with a skill can come to China to work. However, the focus has shifted to teachers.
China lacks teachers, but the Soviet Union had plenty, especially university professors—truly high-quality talent.
As for the language barrier, Zhao Ye didn't think it was a big problem.
Many Soviet workers who came to China actively learned Chinese, and within a year, daily communication was no longer a major problem.
