Volume VI, Section XI

When she received Qian Xuan's call, Sha Zhengyang had just had supper.

Originally, I called Qian Xuan after dinner, but Qian Xuan called first.

There is a canteen in the Beijing Office, which tastes good. Several chefs are from Hanchuan, Sichuan and Shandong cuisine, and are well-made. Especially home-cooked dishes are loved by leaders of the Changhe Petroleum Administration Bureau.

I originally wanted to go out and call me, but it was obvious that the Beijing Office would not allow it.

There are more than 20 cars available here, from Mercedes-Benz to Civic, there are several full-time drivers, and there are a lot of part-time drivers. How could it be possible to let the leader of the Tangtang Group Company go out to take a taxi? That's all right?

In desperation, Sha Zhengyang could only accept this reality. This is the plot of state-owned enterprises and must be put forward.

I made an appointment at a cafe on the other side of Gulou Street.

Sha Zhengyang is not unfamiliar with Yanjing, but he is not familiar with it. Fortunately, the drivers of the Beijing Office are too familiar with Yanjing. Although they don’t know what Sha Zhengyang said about the cafe, as long as they talk about the location of Gulou Street, it’s not a problem.

Jaguar xj8 sent Sha Zhengyang to the front of the cafe. Before Sha Zhengyang got off the car, he saw Qian Xuan had just gotten out of a taxi.

"Mr. Sha, when will you pick you up?" The driver Lao Yu looked very honest. Sha Zhengyang originally wanted to say he didn't want to pick you up, but he didn't want to push him around here, so he simply looked at his watch, "It's half past nine, come and pick me up, and that's going to be hard work, Master Yu."

Seeing that Sha Zhengyang was not polite, Lao Yu was also very happy. He was afraid that the other party would refuse, which would make people embarrassed.

"Mr. Sha, don't be so polite. This is my job. Just call me Lao Yu. If you call me Master Yu, I feel disastrous." Yu Changqing is an old driver of Changhe Petroleum. There are three full-time drivers in the Beijing Office of Changhe Petroleum, and he is the oldest among them.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lao Yu, just call me before departure." Sha Zhengyang knew that mobile phones were not popular yet, and the Zhongjian officials stationed in Beijing all equipped with mobile phones, but like others, they only had pagers.

"No, I'll come on time at half past nine and wait nearby. If you want to leave and call me a page, I'll drive over." Lao Yu was obviously very familiar with this kind of thing.

Sha Zhengyang thought about it and nodded: "It's okay, I'm basically stepping on this point, it's almost the same."

When Sha Zhengyang opened the slightly thick old-fashioned wooden door, he felt like a big Shanghai Paramount in the 1930s. I don’t know which singer has re-enacted the low-end "Ye Lai Xiang" but it has a unique flavor.

Qian Xuan waved her hand, and Sha Zhengyang walked over with a smile when he saw it.

"Okay, I'm taking a jaguar. Changhe Energy Group is so rich. The Beijing Office drives jaguars. Do you also enjoy picking up and dropping off? If I had known, I would have asked you to pick me up." Qian Xuan seemed more capable and aggressive after working in JP Morgan for a year, but Sha Zhengyang knew the other party's temperament and didn't care. "I've asked you specifically, and you clearly stated that you want to come by yourself."

"How do I know you are so awesome now? Luxury cars are specially selected for picking up and dropping off. We, JP Morgan, are just renting cars for a long time here, basically all of them are crowns and dukes, and they dare not compete with you." Qian Xuan shrugged, "What are you going to have a cup?"

"Same as you." Sha Zhengyang didn't pay much attention to coffee, even Blue Mountain and Nestlé Instant felt that the gap was not big.

The aroma of coffee gradually spread. After taking a sip, Sha Zhengyang raised his head, as if he was savoring something.

"Look at how you enjoy this?" Qian Xuan took out a green moor and lit one.

"Do you think it's cool for women to smoke?" Sha Zhengyang doesn't like women to smoke, but he thinks that's someone else's freedom.

"No, I just like this style, and I feel a little fascinated." Qian Xuan smiled, "Actually, I just pretend, and the feeling of pretending is good."

Qian Xuan's words made Sha Zhengyang amused, "So that's it. I thought you were really mature, but the result..."

"As a result, I am also very superficial and childish?" Qian Xuan also laughed. "Thinking that being superficial and childish may not be mature by myself. Everyone has a different understanding of life. The world is so big, and taste more different things, good and suitable for you, then accept it. Bad and unfit for you, then you should also taste it. This is normal. A diverse society should learn to be tolerant."

"Okay, okay, don't educate me anymore. I'm a good child born in New China and raised under the red flag. Don't tempt me." Sha Zhengyang picked up the coffee and took another sip.

"Who tempts you? You have no desire in your heart, no one can tempt you? The internal reason is the key, right?" Qian Xuan also likes to amuse Sha Zhengyang. "I think I am a bit handsome and have good conditions in all aspects, but you, you guy, have such clear eyes and no desires. I judged that either you have seen too many people, so you have lost interest in this aspect, or you Liu Xiahui, well, synonymous with eunuchs, but I think you may be the former more likely."

"Why don't you say you lack charm? You are so pretty. With your aggressive aura, I guess you still won't find a partner if you add a little bit of beauty." Sha Zhengyang sneered.

Qian Xuan was so angry that he said, "Hey, how did you say it? I don't want to look for it. If I really want to look for it, every minute, look at your shallowness. I can assert that you either like the kind of well-educated, well-behaved, gentle and virtuous little woman, or like mature women with big breasts and big buttocks and charming, right?"

"Yes, I like both types of women. I just don't like new women who are self-reliant and self-reliant, both temperamental and culturally wise." Sha Zhengyang quickly continued to finish the conversation, which made Qian Xuan so angry.

After a long time of bickering, the two of them slowly stopped and got to the point.

"Zhengyang, if you really want to do it, I'm afraid you'll have to hurry up. CNPC is also a little moved, but they feel that they have been there for a year and the land has been hot. They are unwilling to cooperate with JP Morgan again and want to contact the Kazakh government directly. However, they do not know enough about the situation of the Kazakh government and Akjiubin Oil Company. I personally think that their chances of success are not high."

When talking about work, Qian Xuan calmed down and was very rational and objective.

"Your shortcomings are that you have never been exposed to such overseas acquisitions before, and you have no experience at all. Moreover, you have no contact with the Kazakh government. Even if JP Morgan helps you, it is unlikely, because compared with PetroChina, you are not as strong as the other party, and you have no experience. This time, there may be foreign companies such as Texaco and Amoko, but they are also worried about Akjiubin Oil Company, so they may not be competitive in price."

"We must hire JP Morgan as the coordinator before we even said that." Sha Zhengyang frowned.

"Then you have no hope. Maybe you can not hire JP Morgan in the future, but that must be based on your firm foothold in Kazakhstan. But now if you don't have JP Morgan's help and support, you can say that you have no chance of winning. This is not because I am a JP Morgan employee, but because JP Morgan has been rooted in Kazakhstan for six years. Since Kazakhstan's independence, we have been doing intelligence collection and relationship coordination in this regard. It can be said that we are just making a living."

"Okay, if you want to prove that JP Morgan is worthy of our Changhe Energy recruitment, or that it is valuable to let us cooperate with you, then please come up with more professional things, and don't just use the public information I can collect through my own channels." Sha Zhengyang also met coldly.

"Public information? Can you collect it?" Qian Xuan sneered, "You are afraid you are so tired. Don't think that you just want a few outsiders to give you some well-known information. You think you are an expert. I will tell you what information, how much do you want, and how much do I give you, but how valuable is that?"

"Akjiubin Oil Company auction, how much do you bid to defeat your opponent and meet your bottom line? How can Akjiubin Oil Company combine with your business in the future? You are far away and far away. How can you make Akjiubin Oil Company survive before the oil pipeline is open? The Kazakh government is not hostile to Chinese-funded enterprises, but it does not mean that people sincerely welcome you. They want to come by themselves, but they don't have the strength. You Changhe Energy and Amoko and Texaguby have too many shortcomings and are much worse. How can you beat each other? Just relying on more money, you can only become stupid."

One question after another also shows that Qian Xuan is confident in this regard.

This is also a question that Sha Zhengyang has been considering. He first needs to obtain enough information through his own channels to form a basic information background so that he will not be fooled by others when dealing with JP Morgan, and the other party will also give you the most basic respect.

Sha Zhengyang did not expect Qian Xuan to be a "traitor" in this regard, and some core things, JP Morgan could not hand over to her, a newcomer who had not long been hired.

"Qian Xuan, Changhe Energy does not fight unprepared battles. Of course, we have our own channels. If we really feel that it is not enough, we can even choose a partner to acquire them together. Whether it is Texago, Amoco, or even PetroChina, it may not be impossible to cooperate."

Sha Zhengyang's words surprised Qian Xuan, and she immediately became nervous, "Do you plan to cooperate with these companies and acquire together?"

If this is the case, then JP Morgan's role will be much smaller. Texaco and Amoco both have their own intelligence networks, which are not worse than JP Morgan in this regard. Only Chinese companies that have just gone abroad are relatively weak in this regard, and it is also an opportunity for JP Morgan.
