Now it seems that Ji Donglai's ambition is not small. He is calm and calm on the surface, but he is turbulent on the inside. All kinds of information collided in my mind, and the country's strategy of heading west was a national policy.
Ji Donglai and other private companies went ahead. Jinmei Group also thought about similar things, but they didn't find a suitable breakthrough point. The bosses were also discussing it during the meeting.
Now that Ji Donglai has arrived, Li Qingfu is keenly aware that his opportunity has come.
"Mr. Li, I just make a small amount of money. I hope to use the natural gas for myself. Isn't the country clamoring for replacing coal with electricity? If we cooperate and explore for natural gas, I will sell the discovered natural gas to you." It’s not impossible. It depends on how much is explored, right? The area of that gas field is not small, the main gas field is located in Fergana, and there is an abandoned gas field in Bukhara!”
"It doesn't cost much, and only experienced companies like our group company can explore and understand it. Besides, the old American companies are constantly exploring there. If they can find it, I believe we can also find it."
Facing Li Qingfu, Ji Donglai made no secret of his ambitions.
The integration of the Eurasian continent is inevitable and no one can stop it. This is a major trend.
Now that Ji Donglai is not short of money, there is no problem in participating without changing the world situation.
"You're really ambitious, but I like it. I told the superiors that it needs to be a formality, and I'll let the people below make arrangements. It won't work if the white ghosts try to arm-wrestle with us. Asia, they need to know who has the final say. "
"Don't leave later. I'll take you to have a meal with the boss of the oil and gas company. How's your drinking capacity?"
After staring into Ji Donglai's eyes for a long time, Li Qingfu finally decided to believe Ji Donglai.
A person who can go to a place like Central Asia to make money is enough to prove the reliability of Ji Donglai. Only people with ambition can cooperate. People without ambition are suitable for looking after the house and keeping the business, but they will never be able to expand the territory.
Ji Donglai did not object. He happened to have Moutai in the car and a few bottles of vodka. The banquet was held in the cafeteria of Jinmei Group's headquarters, and the standards were not low at all.
"Mr. Liu, this is the little brother I often tell you, Ji Donglai. Mr. Ji. Our group's synthetic membrane project was done by my little brother, and the results this year are very good."
"It just so happens that my brother is coming over today, let's have a drink together. Xiao Ji, Mr. Liu is a rising star in our group. Oil and gas projects are all over the world, and you are also traveling around the world. It will be good for you to communicate more with Mr. Liu and gain experience. "
"Mr. Liu, our brother has been in Central Asia all this year. There are enough oil and gas projects there. You should communicate more. Haha, I will introduce them to you today, and the rest is yours."
Liu Lei graduated from the Petroleum Institute and has worked in the group for more than ten years. His rank is one level lower than Li Qingfu.
So when Li Qingfu hosted a banquet, he immediately brought a few of his men over. When facing Li Qingfu, Ji Donglai and several acquaintances from the coal industry, Liu Lei was not restrained.
Originally knowing that Ji Donglai was the owner of a private enterprise, he felt a little contemptuous deep down in his heart, but when he heard that Ji Donglai had business in Central Asia, he immediately became respectful.
After all, it is a strategic focus of the country now, but it is a blind spot for domestic investment experience. There are no books to refer to. When he was worried about finding someone, Li Qingfu introduced someone to him. Liu Lei was very happy.
"Mr. Ji, let's take more care of each other from now on!"
Liu Lei did not stand up, but cupped his hands in front of Ji Donglai. This was already considered a great honor. Ji Donglai did not waste any time and stood up to salute.
Then open a bottle of Moutai, pick up one or two glasses, fill them with wine and start swirling.
"Mr. Liu, this is our first meeting. Please take good care of me in the future. I have nothing to express. I would like to toast everyone first."
Holding the wine glass in his left hand and the wine bottle in his right hand, Ji Donglai started to toast from the person closest to him. Li Qingfu nodded secretly, and Liu Lei also understood that Ji Donglai was a sensible person.
Ji Donglai drank two people in a row, and Liu Lei quickly got up and came over with a wine glass to have a drink with Ji Donglai.
"Mr. Ji, as long as it comes to your mind, we will cooperate more in the future. Your experience in foreign investment is very important to our country. We will communicate more in the future!"
He drank it all in one gulp, and Liu Lei patted Ji Donglai on the shoulder to show encouragement.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your love and affirmation. Mr. Li and I have known each other for so long, and this is our first time drinking. I would like to respect you all!"
After drinking with Liu Lei, Ji Donglai continued to circle, and a smile appeared on Li Qingfu's face.
"Mr. Li, this brother of yours is extraordinary and sensible!"
Liu Lei returned to his seat and sat down next to Li Qingfu, and whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear. At this time, Ji Donglai had already drank half a round.
"Mr. Ji just bought two oil and gas fields in Uzbekistan, Fergana and Bukhara. Now he is looking for someone to cooperate with. He is close to me. If you tell me, I will ask you to come here. I am very good at it. Let’s figure it out for the locals over there.”
"Isn't there an order from above? Of course, cooperation is the second priority. Make friends."
Liu Lei recognized Ji Donglai, and Li Qingfu said, Liu Lei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he looked at Li Qingfu and patted the other party's hand to express his gratitude.
This is so important. The first exploration project in Central Asia will be the first in the country. This is very, very important. It has extraordinary economic and political significance. Liu Lei must seize this opportunity.
"Mr. Li, I haven't toasted you for so long. You are too self-disciplined. I'll do it first as a token of my respect!"
Ji Donglai happened to circle over and poured a glass for Li Qingfu. Then he downed three glasses in a row, his face already reddening.
"Do you think I'm still as young as you? Young people, work hard, the future is yours."
Li Qingfu drank a glass of wine, and Ji Donglai continued to circle.
After a round of drinks and all the dishes were served, the atmosphere on the table suddenly became brighter and people became less restrained in talking to each other.
After the wine game, Ji Donglai and Liu Lei exchanged business cards. As for Ji Donglai's application for the exploration team, Liu Lei directly assured him that there would be no problem. He would just find someone to sign the contract after the year, and the fees would be based on the lowest standards.
"Mr. Liu, drive slowly!"
In the parking lot, Liu Lei and Ji Donglai parted ways, and Ji Donglai helped Liu Lei open the car door.
"Don't be so polite, kid. We are partners from now on. The leaders saw this and thought I was putting on airs. Do your best and see you in Uzbekistan next year!"
Patting Ji Donglai's shoulder, Liu Lei said earnestly, and then got into his car, with happiness in his eyes.
The first shovel down was a breakthrough in collecting various data on Central Asia for the entire country. Liu Lei never dreamed that such a surprise would be waiting for him at the end of the year.
