Excellent little farmer

"Well! The country originally had intentions in this regard. Our views have clarified and detailed the plan, and more importantly, we have focused on the implementation of the plan. This time, there are specific plans in this regard that need to be negotiated one by one.

Several rounds of discussions have been held with the commercial counselors of various countries in China in the early stage, but important plans and documents still need to be finalized through direct negotiations with their domestic officials responsible for this matter. "Huang Wenhan nodded and said, he has been busy with these matters in the past two months. The Energy Office has just been built, and a lot of work is on him, and he, the executive deputy director, has to arrange it.

"Rome was not built in a day. Although this matter should be done hastily rather than slowly, I am afraid that we need to grasp a certain scale, otherwise letting the negotiating partner control our mentality will not be conducive to our later work." I thought for a while.

“The longer I stay in Venezuela, the more I feel the lag and inflexibility of our country’s energy strategy. Although oil prices are currently at a relatively low level, the increase in the number of oil and gas resources that are available for development each year is not as expected. It is so rich, and the cost of extracting oil and gas resources in many places is quite high. The tentacles of multinational energy giants have already spread all over the world, and their presence can be felt in almost every country and region. However, we have not yet truly gone out to face the continuous growth of our country. With the rapid economy, I am very worried that in a few years our country’s energy demand will become a bottleneck restricting our country’s development, or even become a noose under certain special circumstances.”

Huang Wenhan sighed. Being in the center, he had access to many times more data and information than at the local level.

The more this happened, the more pressure he felt. I gave him several reminders, and he consciously collected information through various channels, and the results he obtained were shocking. Transnational energy giants have seized all the resources they can control, but the country has not paid enough attention to this aspect. Of course, this is also related to the current small proportion of domestic imported energy and the low and stable price of oil.

"Make plans early and proceed step by step. As long as we are prepared in this regard, there is nothing to worry about."

I pondered and said, "I'm just afraid that the senior management will not pay enough attention and will be unprepared. By the time they are waiting to discover the seriousness of the problem, the opportunity will be gone."

"Well! I also think about it this way. This time I visited eight African countries. Nigeria, Angola, Sudan, and Cameroon all have quite rich oil resources. Although multinational companies from Western countries have also entered these countries, the situation in these countries is not very good. stability, and the scars left by colonialism in the minds of the people of these countries still exist. Therefore, these countries are of great significance to us. Strengthening cooperation with them in energy can enable us to obtain energy supplies in addition to the Middle East. Another channel besides.”

Huang Wenhan took a sip of tea and said in a low voice: "We must take the initiative and implement it. Otherwise, if we miss the opportunity, our chances of cooperation in these countries in the future will become increasingly slim. And Western multinational companies will never watch our expansion in Africa."

"Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently."

I softly recited a Tang poem, and then said: "The country may wish to be richer and more diversified in the way it considers cooperation with these countries. Being too utilitarian may have quick results in the short term. However, there will be many negative effects in the later period." , I think that in order to win long-term cooperation with these countries, firstly, we need mutual benefit and win-win, and secondly, we need to spread the advantages of our country’s traditional culture to these countries. This is a long-term and difficult job, but it cannot be ignored. If we want to truly gain a foothold in Africa, we can only increase our efforts."

Huang Wenhan couldn't help but shrink his eyes. My words once again gave him an indescribable shock and surprise. The theory of cultural penetration influence is still in a state of exploration and debate in the theoretical circles, but American entertainment culture The continuous penetration into the world through communication methods such as movies and television has allowed people to see the huge influence brought by this penetration.

The values, outlook on life and aesthetics of a generation are all affected by the infiltration of these foreign cultures, which in turn creates a sense of closeness to American culture. This will unknowingly have a subtle infiltration effect. , giving you a sense of intimacy with the United States. This kind of influence is often much more powerful than the results of a war.

The kind of short-term utilitarian cooperation I mentioned is currently the mainstream. It lacks long-term and profound considerations. It only seeks short-term benefits and ignores the long-term interests of the partners. It ignores the impact of cultural soft power on a company. The influence of the country, at this point, our country seems to be a bit neglected.

Putting aside the unhappiness caused by the blind date, the conversation between Huang Wenhan and I suddenly became smoother.

Whether it was the new ideas and ideas I proposed or the possibility of Huang Wenhan implementing them into national policies, the discussions and arguments between the two were very serious, from establishing strategic oil reserves to encouraging Chinese energy state-owned enterprises to implement the going global strategy. , from liberalizing the middle and lower reaches of the energy industry to encouraging private companies to develop in foreign upstream energy companies.

The discussion between the two of us on these policies did not last for a day or two, but during the debate and discussion, more and more detailed issues would always emerge. Huang Wenhan especially liked this, and he and I used this method to achieve ideas and perspectives that broaden our thinking.

……

Liu Qiao was dumbfounded when she received the call. She did not expect that her cousin would give her such a task.

"Daisily, this is not good. If you do this, you might as well just reply to the other party. Why do you need to do this?"

"Fourth sister, the family is pressing hard. I heard that this guy flew to the capital from other places. The family introduced that he is a young and talented man with a rising career. I must go. I heard that this guy was introduced by the second brother. The old man is mad. If I can't leave, he will ask for leave for me. I really can't leave, but I don't want the old man to know. Just go and have a look for me. If this guy is sensible, he will quit. ”

On the other end of the phone, at the field training ground, the woman skillfully operated the Bushmaster submachine pistol in her hand, from raising the gun, turning sideways, to aiming while lying down, rolling sideways in the air, and then quietly crawling on the ground, all in one go.

The burly man standing in the distance crossed his arms and made a satisfied V-shaped hand gesture.

"What are you busy with all day? You can't even see anyone. Is your Africa Department really so busy?"

Liu Qiao also had a vague feeling that this cousin, who had been close to him since childhood, did not seem to be an authentic staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She always had an indescribable smell, especially when outsiders were present. The vigilant scrutiny hidden behind the politeness can only be felt occasionally by her cousin, who has been living with her since childhood.

Everyone in the Liu family is like this. No matter male or female, old or young, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp. Thinking of this, Liu Qiao shook his head.

"Sister, I really have something to do. I'm not in the capital. Just go for a walk and help me go take a look."

The voice on the phone opposite became a little blurry, and he said intermittently: "Okay, I hung up. If anything happens, please call me in two hours."

Liu Qiao sighed, put down the phone, raised his hand to look at his watch, walked out of the office, and ordered the driver to drive out.

There was no doubt that this was another petty bureaucrat who came out of nowhere and tried to gain access to the Liu family. Thinking of this made her feel annoyed. Isn’t this the same for me? The original vows of each other gradually faded away with the gorgeous aura, and everything was like rocks after the phoenix tide faded, showing a ferocious and cold reality. Every time people think about it, it feels as uncomfortable as a poisonous snake entangled in the heart.

It's just that every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite, and the same is true in the third uncle's family. Daisily is already in her twenties, and her youth is passing by in a blink of an eye, but she has never concealed her disdain and indifference towards men. He was even worried that she had a tendency to have a homosexual relationship, but Liu Qiao knew that Daisily was not the kind of person with a mental illness. It was just that the influence of her family and living environment made her too independent, which made her feel that she had no hope of a so-called marriage. and family shackles to frame their heads.

Baiquan Wencai Club was chosen as the place for the blind date. Liu Qiao smiled. Wasn't this deliberately teasing people? But she still had to go. Since she agreed to daisiy, she had to fulfill her responsibility.

I was really annoyed. He had never heard of this bullshit Baiquan Wencai Club before, and Huang Wenhan didn't give him any extra introduction. He just came to the club in Donghuan Plaza in such a confused way.

After arriving, I learned that this club was not open to non-members. This made me furious. Isn't this clearly a joke on myself? Obviously the other party wanted to use this method to politely reject me. I wanted to throw my hands away and walk away, but after thinking about it, I still bit the bullet and signed up for a membership. The membership fee and annual fee were more than 10,000 yuan. It made him feel that this blind date really felt a bit like being taken advantage of. The money was nothing, but the other party was clearly teasing him as a fool, and also wanted to trap him in injustice. Maybe the other party was somewhere in the corner. Waiting, as long as you are not there by the time, all the responsibility will be yours.
