Chapter 493 Carbon Fiber
It doesn't take much effort to contact Nazarbayev. The emerging group is using the money of Dahua Industry to build a new capital city for Kazakhstan. In order to make his political achievements more beautiful, Nazarbayev's requirements for the Soviet city will be met as much as possible, with a good attitude as a relative.
As partners of Dahua Industry, Chen Lizheng and Lin Yonggui arrived in Almaty at the same time, and also received state-level treatment and stayed in the presidential suite of the Kazakhstan Hotel.
Kazakhstan Hotel is the largest hotel in the area. It is 28 floors high, with a dignified and rich appearance. It is the tallest building in "Apple City". It looks very grand. Its lobby is grand and well decorated. Not to mention in Central Asia, even in Western Europe, it is the highest standard.
Whether Nazarbayev himself or Khrushchev and other Soviet bosses come to Kazakhstan, they all stay in the Grand Hotel of Kazakhstan, and the presidential suite is the highest level of courtesy.
However, the facilities of other rooms are not flattering.
The ordinary rooms of the entourage are not only small and old, but many facilities are bad. The air conditioner that only doesn't turn, the snowy TV, the small bed that is not enough to roll, and even the bath is not smooth, the hot water is not enough, etc., which is a typical Soviet style. In fact, due to the end of three years in the Soviet Union, the Kazakh government has no spare time to re-repair the hotel, which is more dilapidated than that year.
Yang Ming's anxious coordinated repair can't solve a few problems in the end. Fortunately, the melons and fruits in Kazakhstan are really delicious, with a large watermelon weighing 30 to 40 catties, a catty and a half of large apples, and countless sweet grapes, saving many people's Central Asian dreams.
What really surprised Chen Lizheng and others was Nazarbayev's attitude.
On the second day of his arrival in Almaty, Nazarbayev summoned Dahua Industry and his party at the presidential palace in front of the Republic, including Chen Lizheng, Lin Yonggui and other oil companies from afar.
The choice of this time point is very mysterious.
If it is the urgency of the summoning on the same day, it is not grand enough. After all, the other party came by boat and chariot. A day off is appropriate, and if it is more than two days, it will be a little neglected.
Of course, in terms of political treatment, except for leaders, few people can get similar treatment. Even it is normal for an official ambassador to be left for a week or two weeks. The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of the [China] country sent to the Soviet Union three years ago waited for Gorbachev to accept the letter of state until the dissolution of the Soviet Union, so he could only return to China to exchange the letter to Russia.
Although Kazakhstan is not as famous as the Soviet Union, it is also a major Central Asian country. It talks and laughs like giants, and there is no white man in exchange. The world's number one tungsten mine, 20 billion barrels of natural resources such as oil and natural gas, are not only interested in Dahua Industry, but also BP, big-name companies such as ExxonMobil, such as British BP, which is struggling in the Tyumen oilfield. The president spends half of the time in the former Soviet Union every year to strive for the People's reception is not something you can see if you want to. Similarly, meetings between the former Soviet republics, as well as dignitaries from European and American countries, are interested in such a resource country, and frequent national-level visits.
Dahua Industry can be treated solemnly, which itself shows Dahua's strength in Kazakhstan. This is determined by many roles. The construction of the new capital is one of them, and the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline is one of them. The personal charm of Suzhou cannot be ignored.
Whoever dares to spend a billion dollars and gamble on politics should be valued by a national leader.
In Kazakhstan, Sucheng is equivalent to betting all the treasure on Nazarbayev, betting that he can successfully move the capital and bet that he can sit firmly on the presidency - in the turbulent Central Asia, the risk of such gambling is much more intense than the U.S. presidential election. They are facing not only the new [people] main election of a new country, but also the risk of a military coup.
From the perspective of Kazakhstan's evidence, you may take Sioux's decision for granted. However, when people of the same era are in the game, how can they take it for granted?
In the early 1990s, the world changed greatly. It was not only Sucheng gambling, but also half of the world's oil companies were gambling. British BP lost $7 billion in the Tyumen oil field; several countries in the Middle East gambled on Azerbaijan's Aliqibei and lost to the military coup; relatively peaceful Turkmenistan took tens of billions of dollars in investment, and finally made a lot of trouble with Turkey; the Wall Street businessmen who gambled on Chechnya's independence were even worse. That's them; even more tragically, there are gentlemen who have invested in Afghanistan. Since the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan, the region has received the attention of the whole world. The famous Afghan wool used to be continuously supplied to the Western market. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, more funds were obtained here, and several people could be expected. Then, the former allies will turn around to invade Afghanistan... Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Syria are sprinkled with the blood of venture capitalists everywhere.
Sucheng can't be said to be a successful gamble now, but the more so, the more sincere Nazarbayev's attitude will be.
In the middle of the chess game, they are soldiers in the trenches.
All kinds of ** in front of the meeting gave Chen Lizheng a lot of confidence. The Kazakh government quickly organized a team to discuss cooperation with the oil company.
Although they switched to the Western [people] main system, they are still essentially the Soviet system, with a quick response to large-scale negotiations and poor sensitivity to small markets. In addition, European and American oil companies come frequently, which has trained a large number of professional negotiators.
Chen Lizheng quickly fell into the sea of literature of the people of Kazakhstan.
Su City, no matter what they talked about with the Kazakh government, after being a middleman, they took Shulan to visit Almaty easily.
This beautiful huā garden city is like Istanbul in Turkey. No matter how many times you come, you can find freshness. Moreover, it also completely retains the architectural heritage and decorative style of the Soviet era.
Shu Lan was so lingering that she looked at a house next to a house.
This time it was Su Cheng's turn to be very puzzled and asked, "Why are you suddenly so interested in architecture?"
Shu Lan said shyly, "I'm thinking about what the house in Beijing will look like."
"Don't worry." Su Cheng said so, but his heart was a little soft unexpectedly. The imagination of home is not based on quantity. Shu Lan's shyness is exactly her lovely place.
Su Cheng whispered, "If it's not easy to make a decision, you can find a designer first and then choose. I remember that someone introduced the designer."
"I don't like the interior design they make." Shu Lan curled her lips and said, "Half of the people have designed European-style houses. In my opinion, it's better to take a few photos and go back to take pictures of cats and tigers."
Su Cheng smiled hoarsely and said, "Kazakhstan's decoration style is not European style, at most of which is a fusion of East and West."
"You said that the East and the West are combined. I saw a design drawing. The dining room is a large round table like an Eight Immortals table, and a large green brick fireplace in the living room. When asked what was going on with the big round table, he said it was King Arthur's round table..."
Su Cheng laughed out laughing.
In the city of the early 1990s, the decoration designer is a trendy name. Not only is the number of them scarce, but the level of repair is uneven. It is normal that the finished product of the wild-style design is not popular.
Su Cheng accompanied Shu Lan for a few days, but he turned the face of the Soviet era, and then various ethnic buildings.
There are more than 100 ethnic groups in Kazakhstan. The more Shulan looks at the building, the more confused his mind will be. After several films were shot and washed out, no useful conclusions were drawn.
Or Su Cheng suggested, "Our room, let's make a theme. I think it should be a little bit in the direction of modernization. For example, the design of the network is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, which must be considered in advance. It is better to have a [middle] central air conditioner in the room. How big the water heater can be used for the bath, and the electrical appliances can be remotely controlled by remote control. The
"
He is thinking about himself. Next year, there will be a network in China. Although it may be a cheating K-speed network and only a product such as BBS, it is not a network after all.
In addition to the modern life of later generations, Sucheng does not expect to be copied, but at least it can be closer. He has made a lot of money now. If he doesn't improve his life, I'm afraid he will be regarded as a workaholic.
Although he does like his job crazily.
Shu Lan said, "There is no problem with modernization, but I'm afraid the designer doesn't understand what you said."
"Ask Yang Ming to see if there are any similar talents in the company." Su Cheng's performance was very reassuring. Dahua Industry is the fastest-growing enterprise in China. The company's treatment is no worse than that of multinational companies in China, and the promotion potential is greater, and the career trees are more prosperous. Every year, domestic graduates are almost at their own choice. With the expansion of the company's business scope and the increase of affiliated companies, it may not be easy to find an It's too easy to find a group of modern technical talents.
Shu Lan nodded obediently, took out her notes from her bag, and simply wrote a few strokes. When she returned to the hotel, she went to Yang Ming to understand the situation. Su Cheng was pulled away by Lin Yonggui, who had been waiting there for a long time. The negotiations between China and Kazakhstan finally entered the key point. The oil company was weak, Gallbladder.
Su Cheng was so busy that he didn't have time to take care of building the house. Yang Ming is very concerned about this. As an office director, Yang Ming is very suitable. He will not only do what Su Cheng ordered, but also carefully consider what Su Cheng needs to do.
An enterprise always needs all kinds of roles. A logistics manager like Yang Ming is indispensable for any enterprise. And Yang Ming obviously has his own goals and working methods.
Within two days, a report was placed on the desk of Sucheng, specifying the idea of the construction of the new house.
Although the plot of more than 50 mu of land is precious, after all, it was not in the eyes of Su Cheng. He opened the report at will and wanted to study it briefly, but he soon stopped it.
Smart glass, special-shaped PVC exterior walls, polycarbonate pipes, carbon fiber columns...
Carbon fiber!
The corners of Su Cheng's eyes suddenly **. This is a [leather] life material for both military and civilian use. Since it was invented in the 1980s, it has been listed on the list banned by Batumi. Carbon fiber can be used from space shuttles to man-made fibers and bicycles.
It can be said that this is the most value-added product extracted from oil in the past 10 years.
Has Dahua Laboratory developed carbon fiber?
Su Cheng couldn't help grabbing the phone immediately and called Yang Ming to ask, "What's wrong with the carbon fiber in the report you gave me?"
Yang Ming obviously did not realize the value of carbon fiber. At this time, most of the Chinese people who know carbon fiber are in research institutes and universities. He also recalled for a moment before saying, "I'm looking for a report written by the laboratory. According to Lao Li, the carbon fiber project has achieved certain results. If the funds are increased, there is hope to complete it."
At the other end of the phone, there was no sound for a long time. It took me a long time to hear Su Cheng's voice: "I'll go back to China tomorrow and inform the laboratory to prepare the carbon fiber research report. In addition, pay attention to confidentiality."
