Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Still in the Great Hall, under the leadership of the staff.

Wang Ye, Alexei and their assistants came to a side hall.

This conference room is not small, but it is not comparable to the one in the morning.

There is an oblong conference table in the middle of the conference room. Several people are already sitting on one side, and the other side is empty, obviously reserved for Russian negotiators.

When Wang Ye and Alexei came in, those people stood up and looked at Wang Ye and Alexei with a smile.

"Commissioner Mikhail, Chairman Alexey, these are Minister Li from the Ministry of Energy, this is Mr. Huang from China National Petroleum Corporation, and this is Mr. Liu from Sinopec..."

The staff introduced both parties in fluent Russian.

It can be seen that the Chinese negotiators this time are also heavyweights!

These few people should be the ones with real decision-making power in the domestic energy industry, and they are all present now!

Wang Ye and Alexei shook hands with these representatives and exchanged a few words.

According to what Wang Xueqing told them, these people did not know Wang Ye's true identity.

What they have is only superficial information, that is, Mikhail is a Chinese-Russian who speaks fluent Chinese. His uncle is the richest man in Russia, Kovchenko, and he has a good relationship with the Kremlin!

Therefore, after sitting down, their eyes were basically focused on Wang Ye.

…………

Because he had already discussed it with Alexei in advance, Wang Ye did his part and got to the point directly.

“For Sino-Russian oil and gas cooperation, we come with sincerity!

According to the production and sales plans of Yukos Group and Gazprom, we can provide China with stable, high-quality and low-price oil and gas resources..."

Wang Ye's tone was quite sincere, and the Chinese negotiator nodded while listening.

Cooperation is what both parties want to achieve, and there is no disagreement in this regard.

The main problem is the price and quantity...

This is also the focus of negotiations between the two parties.

After a round of tentative communication, Wang Ye came up with his prepared cooperation plan.

That is, a super big order that "scared" many people!

Of course, that plan has now been improved, adding natural gas from Gazprom.

Crude oil and natural gas!

The combined amount is even more frightening. According to preliminary estimates, it has reached 300 billion U.S. dollars, only a lot more...

Sure enough, when Li Bu on the opposite side saw the final plan, his brows furrowed.

However, he calmly read the plan and handed it to Mr. Huang and Mr. Liu next to him.

The two of them were not as confident as Li Bu. After seeing the contract amount clearly, their hands were shaking a little.

Just kidding, $300 billion!

In this year, among all the countries in the world, only a handful of them can have annual GDP exceeding this figure!

The old guy opposite must have a huge appetite...

After reading it, the three of them exchanged glances, and it was Li Bu who was in charge of the discussion.

He smiled slightly, looked at Wang Ye and asked:

"Commissioner Mikhail, this plan is very... imaginative!

However, I think it is the first time for both parties to cooperate on oil and gas resources, so it is better to be cautious.

For example, what do you think if the cooperation period is shorter or the amount is smaller? "

He said this very tactfully.

If it were a straight-tempered person, he would probably start a crime immediately.

It's a buyer's market these days!

You, a seller, are here to promote your products. Why do you directly provide the length of cooperation and purchase amount?

Shouldn’t these things be provided by the buyer, that is, the Chinese side?

…………

Alexey also glanced at Wang Ye and thought that this is indeed the case...

This amount is so astonishing that the other party will definitely not agree to it.

To be honest, the representatives opposite did not leave the meeting on the spot and were willing to continue the conversation, which was beyond Alexey's expectation.

But Wang Ye said calmly:

“Everyone, I know that the amount of money in this cooperation plan is indeed astonishing.

At first glance, it seems that you don’t need so much oil and gas resources.

However, our consideration of problems cannot be limited to the present. We must look at problems from a developmental perspective.

Let’s assume that your country’s economic growth rate can be maintained at 8%-10% and continue to grow for ten or even twenty years!

In a few years, the oil and gas resources you may need will be astronomical!

At that time, it may be a bit delayed to purchase crude oil and natural gas temporarily.

You must know that if you rely solely on sea transportation, the transportation volume is limited, and it is difficult to increase it temporarily.

Our cooperation is based on land transportation, that is, pipeline transportation. It is estimated that it will take several years just to build the pipeline.

Looking at this plan now, it may seem a bit excessive and unnecessary.

But if we look back a few years later, we may feel that this plan is a bit too conservative..."

…………

After listening to Wang Ye's words, there was silence in the conference room.

Especially the few people across from him were digesting these words silently, thinking about whether Wang Ye's words made sense.

I have to admit, he was not wrong!

Since the late 1990s, the domestic economy has begun to develop rapidly.

An annual GDP growth rate of more than 5% is a figure that other countries dare not expect!

But for China, 5% is too little!

In those years, the year-on-year economic growth was often 8%, or even more than 10%!

Moreover, since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been many positive factors. Because of the trouble in Laos and the United States, international pressure has become less severe.

Just joined the WTO!

It is truly closely linked to the global economy.

Oh, and the Olympic bid was successful...

Therefore, if we look at this cooperation plan in a few years or ten years, it may not be so amazing after all...

Li Bu frowned and thought for a while. He also wanted to reach a cooperation, but the amount of this plan was indeed beyond his authority.

He didn't dare to make a decision rashly.

"Well, since you have come up with such a detailed cooperation plan, we will talk about it today. We will take this plan back and study it carefully. Wait until tomorrow afternoon, we will still be here... Forget it, we will go directly Let’s talk about the state guesthouse where you are staying.”

It was obvious that he was going back with the plan to ask for instructions from his superiors.

This is also normal.

After all, with so much money, no one dares to make a decision rashly. It must be discussed collectively to see if it is feasible.

Moreover, this is all done for the country, and it is impossible for individuals to take charge and take responsibility.

…………

After coming out of the side hall, Alexey couldn't help but asked Wang Yedao in a low voice: "Are they serious? They really want to discuss your plan! It seems that there is hope for this matter..."

He was quite shocked.

I originally thought that after this plan was presented, the other party would definitely reject it on the spot.

At the very least, the cooperation period and purchase amount will be significantly reduced.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually said that he would seriously consider it...
