Han Ming, who survived the disaster, lost confidence in continuing the cowhide and wool business. This incident left a serious psychological shadow on his heart.

Yao Yuan simply asked him to follow him. Han Ming's driving skills were very good, so he asked him to be responsible for driving.

Wen Tiejun arrived in Urumqi two days in advance to pick up Yao Yuan. In addition to the two deputy general managers of the head office and several heads of business departments, he was also accompanied by the leaders of the Karamay Oilfield Administration Bureau, carrying more than a dozen vehicles and dozens of people.

Since Karamay Airport is a small airport and does not have the conditions to take off and land Airbus A-320 or An-12 medium-sized transport aircraft, Yao Yuan can only go to Urumqi first, and then take a bus to Karamay with Wen Tiejun and his party, plus the airport prepared for Yao Yuan

Between the two empty cars and the two cars Yao Yuan brought himself, the entire fleet had fifteen cars when it came out of the airport.

They are all BMW-branded off-road vehicles produced by BMW Automobile Factory. As a domestic model of Pajero, the biggest difference is that the problem of brake system defects has been solved. This problem was not completely solved in the Pajeros assembled and produced by BMW Automobile Factory and the Pajero underwritten by BMW Automobile Factory.

.

After entering the urban area of ​​Urumqi, the leaders of the autonomous region and the construction corps accompanying the inspection parked seven vehicles on the roadside and waited.

After they added the fleet, the fleet suddenly expanded to twenty-two vehicles, making it a very large fleet.

Wen Tiejun and Yao Yuan were riding in the same car. He said, "I know that you are disgusted with things like welcoming you and sending you off, so I persuaded the leaders of the local government and the Corps not to pick you up at the airport, and the number of people accompanying you was also reduced to the limit.

It’s compressed again.”

"Mr. Wen, I'm here for a field trip this time. Retreat-type activities can be avoided if possible," Yao Yuan said.

Wen Tiejun said, "Don't worry, I have the same attitude. The autonomous region government and Corps headquarters are accompanied by responsible leaders. I told them that I came here to implement the Buck Oil Pipeline project. However, it is rare for you to come here."

If you want to make a trip, you will inevitably need to invest in several projects to settle down.”

"It's easy to say, as long as it is conducive to economic development, I support it." Yao Yuan said.

Yao Yuan really wanted to be a completely hands-off boss, but for a project as large as the Barker Oil Pipeline, he couldn't do it without coming forward. The local government officials were provincial-level leading cadres, so he couldn't stay idle and had to come out in person to meet with him.

.

The CEO of Southern Industrial is Xiao Jiabing, and he should come for this inspection. However, the three major projects of Baojun Automobile Production Base, Fanglin Port Industrial Park and East Coast Industrial Island have to be monitored by him. Therefore, Yao Yuan can only go out personally.

The mighty convoy was speeding along the road in the Gobi Desert. It was a long stretch of dirt road, and the dust kicked up was dragged back for a long distance. For safety, the distance between the front and rear of the vehicle was widened. In front of it was the military vehicle of the Corps leading the way.

, safety is no problem.

At this time, the highway from Urumqi to Karamay has not yet been built. In fact, in the early 1990s, there were few highways in the country, let alone the northwest region.

To get to Karamay from Urumqi, you need to pass through Shihezi, and then walk more than 150 kilometers north from Kuitun to Karamay.

Due to road conditions, although the whole journey was less than 400 kilometers, the journey took seven hours, which made Yao Yuan uncomfortable, who was used to traveling by private plane.

Leaders of the Karamay Oilfield Administration and the city government met at the junction. The fleet expanded to thirty vehicles, and then drove all the way into the city and directly to the oilfield hotel.

Although it was already 8 o'clock Beijing time, the sky was still bright. It usually doesn't get dark until after nine o'clock in the northwest, which surprised Lin Wei and others.

Karamay means black oil in Uyghur. This is a city that originated from oil. It was established in 1958 and is a complete petrochemical city.

Many people think that Daqing Oilfield is China's first large oil field, but in fact Karamay is. Daqing Oilfield is China's first huge oil field. The famous model worker Wang Jinxi went to Daqing Oilfield from Karamay Oilfield.

When the Daqing Oilfield was built, a large-scale battle was adopted, and the main construction force was the Karamay Oilfield.

The Secretary of the Oilfield Administration Bureau is also the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. The city is dependent on the oilfields. In such a typical state-owned industrial city, the government agencies are very weak. To put it bluntly, they have to do things based on the oilfields, and everything they do must be for the oilfields.

.

There were oil fields first and then there were cities.

The oil fields are so rich.

The urban layout of Karamay is very neat. At first glance, it looks like a city that was planned and built in a short period of time. There are almost no old buildings. The heavy industry and enthusiasm are everywhere, and there are many cities that have experienced millions of years of natural formation.

Completely different.

Ten years ago, Karamay's GDP exceeded 2 billion Chinese dollars, while the Shenzhen market in the same year only had 800 million Chinese dollars.

In the past 1993, Karamay's GDP reached 6 billion Chinese dollars, and Nangang's GDP that year was about 20 billion.

The problem is that in the past year, Nangang had three major super projects of Southern Industrial, while Karamay only relied on one Karamay oil field.

This shows the size of the Karamay Oilfield.

With the expansion and increase in production brought about by the continuous advancement of technology, in the next ten years or so, the Karamay Oilfield will become an oil field with an annual output of 10 million tons, which ranks among the top in the country.

The Oilfield Hotel is the best hotel in Karamay. It is a complex building with a foreign style and a unique flavor.

Then there was a grand welcome dinner. The specifications and standards were completely beyond Yao Yuan's imagination. Leaders from the oil field and local government came out in full force, and more than 200 people attended the dinner.

Yao Yuan was already hungry after a tiring journey.

When the leaders spoke one by one, he grabbed his chopsticks and ate happily, filling his stomach with food while listening to the leaders' speeches.

Sitting on his left and right sides are Wen Tiejun and a vice chairman in charge of industry in the autonomous region. Next to Wen Tiejun is the director of the Karamay Oilfield Administration. Between Wen Tiejun and the director is Lin Wei. Next to the vice chairman is

He is the deputy commander of the Construction Corps, and sitting between them is He Shirley.

The main table was arranged in this order, and Yao Yuan was offered the main seat. Yao Yuan could not refuse.

Take it as it comes, and you have anticipated this situation if you decide to come forward in person.

When Wen Tiejun saw Yao Yuan eating like no one else, he smiled and said, "We've been on the road for seven hours, let's all eat."

The vice chairman quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, eat first, and everyone uses chopsticks."

Yao Yuan smiled honestly, "I'm so hungry that I made all the leaders laugh."

"Mr. Yao is a man of temperament," the vice chairman said with a smile.

It is impolite to eat on stage and off the stage. Since Yao Yuan was hungry, he took this opportunity to express his attitude tactfully - he should do less of these false things.

After eating half full, I started to change cups.

Yao Yuan was the first to raise his glass and said, "Chairman Chen, Director Liu, the straight-line distance from Urumqi to Karamay is only 280 kilometers. If a highway is built to directly connect it, the driving distance can be reduced by at least half. Roads and finances, transportation and road construction

It is the cornerstone of economic development. Southern Industrial and Petroleum Corporation want to build a refining and chemical base in Karamay, and the construction of the road network is a very important foundation."

He made his request first.

The final decision as the refining and chemical base was based on the overlap with the East Bank Industrial Island. Karamay mainly conducts gasoline and diesel refining. At the same time, it is the cooperation between Southern Industrial and Petroleum Corporation, not Dongfang Petroleum, which is incompatible with the East Coast Industrial Island.

The island approach is the same.

Southern Industrial was responsible for the construction, and then leased it to Oriental Petroleum for use.

This is Yao Yuan's way to diversify risks and reduce the proportion of Dongfang Petroleum's assets, because Dongfang Petroleum will definitely be the company with the largest assets in all his industries. Twenty years from now, only Shenzhen Development Bank will be able to compete with it.

Neither Vice Chairman Chen nor Director Liu expected that Yao Yuan mentioned highway construction in his first sentence when he came up. Wen Tiejun also did not expect it. However, Wen Tiejun was used to Yao Yuan's way of doing things, so he was not surprised.

As a result, the two leaders suddenly didn't know how to answer the call.
Chapter completed!
