Chapter 459 China-Kazakhstan Line
Su Cheng didn't even move his hands on his handbag.
He was not sure whether the bonds of $1 million can play their due role at this time. When Nazarbayev's status was made, if he was allowed to lose his political prestige and gain economic benefits, it would be hard to say whether $1 million is enough. Especially when the pipeline project has not yet been sang a single word.
However, when Su Cheng came to see Nazarbayev, he naturally prepared a killer weapon.
Seeing his firm attitude and no longer hesitated, he asked directly: "Mr. Nazarbayev, do you have any plans to move the capital?"
Su Cheng's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, and it exploded in Nazarbayev's ear.
No matter which country it is in, moving the capital is a huge matter and it is bound to offend people. Although Nazarbayev has been considering this matter for a long time, he has no intention of announcing it.
Nazarbayev's surprise was imaginable when he was called out by a foreigner.
He glanced at Su Cheng deeply, then opened the door of the study without saying a word, and ordered: "See if there are anyone around and check the electronic equipment."
The guards who were waiting there called a few people together and started searching.
A quarter of an hour later, Nazarbayev, who was rewarded, waved his hand and asked someone to leave, returned to the sofa, and asked, "Where did you get the news?"
Su Cheng sat as firm as Mount Tai and smiled and said, "It seems that it's true?"
Of course, Nazarbayev would not give him a chance to confirm and smiled: "What do you want Kazakhstan's oil and gas resources for exchange?"
"In addition to the annual purchase agreement of 20 million tons of crude oil, we can also organize a group of construction engineering companies for you." Su Cheng opened his bag, took out a document from another side, put it on the coffee table, and pushed it to Nazarbayev, saying: "China's construction companies are very excellent. If Mr. Nazarbayev wants to move the capital, we can start construction first. If the capital is sufficient, it can also be done to rebuild a city. The northern part of your country is colder. If there is no suitable house to live in, the opposition from civil servants will also increase. In addition, if the new city construction is more prosperous, there will probably be more people who agree. In the worst case, the opposition will also be weaker."
Nazarbayev shook his head: "As long as construction companies are willing to give money, there will always be ones, and the best designers and construction teams in the world, should be French and German companies..."
"If you hand over your work to the Germans, you won't expect to see the results within 10 years. Maybe they won't be able to build it well in 20 years. The Germans are famous for their slow speed."
“But the quality is good.”
"What you need now is speed, not quality. Even if their buildings can last for 200 years, what is the point of 200 years if they take 20 years to build? Of course, you may ask them to build a few luxurious buildings, but ordinary houses, shops, and roads. If they are completed by a Chinese construction engineering team, it will only take three or four years at most."
Nazarbayev thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "If that's all, you'd better ask back."
"In four years, we can build a new capital of Kazakhstan, a new city that can accommodate 500,000 people. No matter where it is!" Sucheng raised his finger.
"Where?" Nazarbayev was slightly moved.
"That's right, even Siberia, we have preparations, in 4 years." Sucheng knew that the new capital selected by Nazarbayev was a small city close to Siberia. The lowest temperature was minus 40 degrees Celsius. This is also an interesting story about oil. From Almaty, which is as warm as spring to Siberia, civil servants have a lot of pain. It is said that the divorce rate of civil servants in Kazakhstan reached the highest in Kazakhstan's history after moving the capital.
Although Nazarbayev has not announced the capital's relocation, he can analyze the rebellious factors by thinking about it with his mind. Just like the capital of China, if he moves from Beijing to Yan'an, how many civil servants will have separated their wives and children, how many godfathers and goddaughters will have to break up... In contrast, if he moves from Beijing to Xi'an, there will probably be fewer tragic things.
"If you dare to sign such an agreement and keep it confidential, I can take the initiative to invite Beijing to build the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline." Nazarbayev finally gave in.
Su Cheng clenched his fists secretly.
The Anda Line was also invited by Russia. Of course, he didn't know how much Daqing and PetroChina paid for it. But as a private company, it was really not easy to persuade Nazarbayev.
Su Cheng smiled and took out a folder in his handbag, put it on the coffee table, pushed it to Nazarbayev, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, I have something new, please don't be surprised."
Nazarbayev raised his chin and opened the folder. It was a bearer bond of $1 million, each with 100,000 yuan, totaling 10 pieces. The paintings were fancy and whistle, and the flavor of US dollars was very scented.
"Happy cooperation." Nazarbayev, who made the concession, was in a good mood and took the initiative to shake hands with Sucheng and asked: "What is your oil pipeline plan like?"
At this time, his attitude was not so official.
Su Cheng began to explain with a smile. From the composition of oil pipeline companies, to the composition of Chinese investment groups, to the technology used in oil pipelines, as well as the design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and even the end use of oil...
Every one of these things will need to be bargained in the future.
Nazarbayev just listened to it and understood the goals of Dahua Industrial.
Sucheng did not expect Nazarbayev to have any response. He introduced it for 20 minutes in one breath and said with a smile: "No matter what, it will always make money from both sides. Then, can I start preparing for the official delegation of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline?"
For formal delegations, naturally, Nazarbayev needs to make a formal request first.
The latter did not hesitate and nodded, "I will arrange the time after signing the agreement."
"No problem." Su Cheng said with a relaxed tone.
Nazarbayev said curiously: "Rebuilding a city is not an easy task."
"It's just a few more engineering teams. If we were allowed to recruit workers from Kazakhstan, it might be faster."
"Yes." Nazarbayev was quite refreshed in this regard.
Su Cheng let out a sigh and said, "Then there is no problem. With just one order, we can start construction."
As long as the funds are in place, China's construction teams are not just rebuilding a city. They want to demolish the city every five or ten years. Although today's Chinese construction companies have not reached the level of later generations, as long as they are the same genes, it is nothing more than a matter of time and capital. If the domestic engineering teams have been trained for 20 years, why should Sucheng promise 4 years? It is estimated that a new city can be built on the ground in more than a year.
Nazarbayev nodded half-believingly. Kazakhstan inherited many of the Soviet Union's heritage, their excellent heavy industry, and also inherited the characteristics of a sparse population. They not only lack construction workers, but also lack the characteristics of construction industry and the vast land and sparse population, which makes tall and dense buildings lack the necessity and the necessity of rapid construction.
With the common practices of Kazakh workers, the work of rebuilding a city will be difficult to complete in 10 years.
This is also a big trouble for moving the capital. If Sucheng can solve this problem, Nazarbayev naturally doesn't mind giving the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline a chance. His real effort is to take the initiative to propose oil pipelines, which weakens some negotiations.
However, Russia has specialized in the United States as it was before, and the oil prices in the Middle East were low. It is normal for Kazakhstan to actively propose to build oil pipelines if it wants to obtain a stable income.
In fact, without the intervention of Sucheng and Dahua Industrial, the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline will have to have a substantial start in another five, six, seven or eight years. Nazarbayev can also feel this.
The Middle East Oil has not yet become really nervous, and Caspian Oil has no strategic advantage. Although there are many companies that build oil pipelines and pursue Kazakh oil fields, they are all based in the long run. The oil pipelines to Turkey's ports are mainly facing the United States, and the oil pipelines to Europe have not yet started construction. The last direction is to go to Asian countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea. It is also the place where the most lack of interest in the China-Kazakh oil pipeline.
The signing of various documents will be completed in the next few days.
The conditions given by Sucheng are indeed generous, with 20 million tons of underwriting each year, so that there will be no loss of idle oil pipelines. Although the construction company did not determine the time and location, Sucheng also signed the name according to the conditions promised to Nazarbayev. As long as the oil pipeline is constructed, Dahua Industrial will undertake the project volume equivalent to a city.
At the same time, Sucheng also contacted domestic affiliated companies. Nowadays, there are more than 3,000 companies in Dahua's supply chain. Looking for one or two large contractors is nothing.
As long as you pay the money, the Chinese can even survive and sprout in the chaotic Black Africa, let alone just a Central Asian country.
After a series of actions, Nazarbayev did not break his promise.
At an international conference at the end of the month, he made a public suggestion: He hoped that Asian countries, especially friendly and neighboring countries, could also participate in the construction and development and utilization of Kazakhstan's oil pipelines.
The Chinese journalist who had been prepared for a long time immediately went up and asked carefully. From Nazarbayev, he undoubtedly got the word "China".
After that, Chinese Foreign Ministry officials who had been publicly recognised also asked the Kazakhstan for specific letters.
Not to mention that Daqing's tentacles cannot be extended so far, even if he can stretch them over, all these procedures are reasonable and legal.
