Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 507: Too Much Appetite
Still in the Great Hall, under the leadership of the staff.

Wang Ye, Alexie, their assistants, and a group of people came to a side hall.

This meeting room is not small, but it is incomparable with the one in the morning.

There was a long oval conference table in the middle of the conference room. Several people were already seated on one side, and the other side was empty, obviously reserved for the Russian negotiators.

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

"Committee Mikhail, Chairman Alexei, these are Minister Li of the Ministry of Energy, this is President Huang of China National Petroleum Corporation, and this is President Liu of Sinopec..."

The staff introduced the two parties in fluent Russian.

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

These few should be the people who really have the power to make decisions in the domestic energy industry, and they are all present now!
Wang Ye and Alexie shook hands with these representatives respectively and exchanged pleasantries.

According to what Wang Xueqing told them, these people did not know Wang Ye's real 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, Khovchenko, 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 Alexie in advance, Wang Ye did his part and went straight to the point.

"For Sino-Russian oil and gas cooperation, we come here with sincerity!
According to the production and sales plan of Yukos Group and Gazprom, we can provide China with stable, high-quality and low-priced oil and gas resources..."

Wang Ye's tone was quite sincere, and the Chinese negotiators nodded as they listened.

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

The main problem is that the price and the size of the volume...

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

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

That is, a super big order that "scares" many people!
Of course, that plan has now been improved, adding natural gas from Gazprom.

Crude oil plus natural gas!

The combined amount is even more frightening. According to preliminary estimates, it is already as high as 3000 billion US dollars, just a lot more...

Sure enough, Li Bu, who was on the opposite side, frowned when he saw the plan.

But he looked at the plan calmly, and then handed it to Mr. Huang and Mr. Liu next to him.

The two of them were not as resilient as Li Bu, and after seeing the contract amount clearly, their hands trembled a little.

Just kidding, 3000 billion US dollars!
In this year, among all the countries in the world, there are only a handful of countries whose annual GDP can exceed this figure!
The old man on the other side has too much appetite...

After reading it, the three of them exchanged glances, and it was Li Bu who came to talk.

He smiled slightly, looked at Wang Ye and asked:

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

However, I think it is the first time for the two parties to cooperate in 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 euphemistically.

If it were someone with a straight temper, they would probably immediately start a fight.

These days, it's a buyer's market!

You, a seller, came here to promote your products, why did you directly give the cooperation period and purchase amount?

These things should not be mentioned by the buyer, that is, the Chinese side!

…………

Alexie also glanced at Wang Ye, thinking that it really is so...

This amount is too astonishing, and it is definitely impossible for the other party to agree.

To be honest, the representatives on the opposite side did not leave the meeting on the spot, and were willing to continue the discussion, which was beyond Alexie's expectations.

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 many oil and gas resources.

However, we should not limit our thinking to the present, but look at problems from a developmental perspective.

Let's assume that if your country's economic growth rate can be maintained at 8%-10%, it will continue to grow for ten years, or even 20 years!

After a few years, the oil and gas resources you need may be an astronomical figure!

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

You know, relying solely on sea transportation, the transportation volume is limited, and it is difficult to increase it temporarily.

The cooperation between our two parties is to use land transportation, that is, pipeline transportation. It is estimated that it will take several years to build the pipeline.

Looking at this plan now, it may feel a bit redundant and unnecessary.

But if you look at it a few years later, you may feel that this plan is a bit too conservative..."

…………

After listening to Wang Ye's words, the meeting room fell silent.

Especially the few people on the opposite side were silently digesting these words, thinking whether what Wang Ye said made sense.

I have to admit, he was right!
From the end of the 90s, the domestic economy began to develop rapidly.

An annual GDP growth rate of more than 5%, for other countries, that is a number that dare not expect extravagantly!

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 entering the 21st century, there have been many positive factors. Because of the accident in Laos and the United States, the international pressure has become less.

Just joined the WTO again!

It is really closely linked with the global economy.

Oh, and the Olympic bid was successful...

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

Li Bu frowned and thought about it. He also really 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.

"How about this, since you have come up with such a detailed cooperation plan, let's talk about it here today. Let's take this plan back and study it carefully, and it will be here tomorrow afternoon...forget it, let's go directly Let’s talk about the state guesthouse where you stayed.”

Obviously, he was going back to ask his superiors for instructions with the plan.

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.

And this is all for the country, it is impossible for individuals to decide and take responsibility.

…………

After coming out of the side hall, Alexie couldn't help but asked Wang Ye 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.

Originally, I 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 greatly cut off.

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