The heart is a task, especially the three kingdoms of Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Ukraine, but the three kingdoms are now also left and right. Happy for our country to enter to balance the influence of European, American and Russian energy giants, Liu Ruotong nodded.

"China's energy companies and even resource development enterprises are lagging behind in going out. Since the establishment of the Ministry of Energy, progress has been much faster, but it is still limited to state-owned monopolies. My point of view is that private enterprises can enjoy the same opportunities as state-owned enterprises, as long as conditions permit, we should also support private enterprises to go out, as long as their roots are rooted in our country, Zhao Guodong seems to have found a person who can talk about his views, and there is a rare interest in talking.

"Not only in Central Asia, but not only in the energy industry, such as in Africa, Latin America, Australia, in the metal mining and non-metallic mining and mining industry, our country should vigorously support the strength of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises to boldly go out, the relevant ministries and commissions of the state should give policy and tax support, and the financial sector should also be vigorously supported in funds, with the further growth of China's economic development, the demand for energy and various minerals will continue to increase, what we need will appear, The only way to resolve this dead knot is to seize the opportunity to enter the upstream resource industry and control upstream resources to avoid risks

"Gordon, I think you should be very interested in your current work, I thought you really have been nostalgic for your old job, otherwise why would you spend so much effort to study and ponder?. Liu Ruotong said with a smile: "You are so dedicated, Minister Cai should give you a reward."

"Hehe, I don't dare to say that I love a line, but since I have to seek politics in his position, not to mention that the energy industry is very important to the economic development of our country, including your embassies abroad should spare no effort to help our energy companies develop abroad, which is actually to help our country improve its influence abroad." Zhao Guodong said angrily.

"Well, I agree with your point of view, no matter what aspect it is, as an embassy abroad, we should actively provide help and support for domestic enterprises, in turn, these enterprises have developed and grown abroad, which will also enhance our country's influence, and will also provide a great boost to the work of our embassies abroad, and the role of politics and economy is interpenetrating Liu Ruotong agreed: "In fact, I think you can use your current status to express your own views on some current political internal references, and increase the attention of high-level officials to you, This will be of great benefit to your future development. ”

Until returning home, the two were still discussing this issue, especially Liu Ruotong was very familiar with the domestic situation in Central Asian countries. The specific situation of the joint cooperation of several large state-owned oil companies in Kazakhstan is even clearer than that of Zhao Guodong, director of the Planning and Development Department.

The two also discussed the success of several projects in Kazakhstan, as well as China's recent active efforts to break the first-mover advantage of Western oil companies in the Caspian Sea region, and reached an agreement with Iran and Azerbaijan on the joint development of the Neshah "Deniz oil mine project in the sector of the water sector". At the same time, it has also established solid cooperation with Iran and Azerbaijan on oil and gas development.

For the first time, Zhao Guodong felt the wonderful taste of being with Liu Ruotong no longer having nothing to say or lacking a common language, Liu Ruotong's familiarity with the international situation and the agreement with him in terms of views made the window in his heart suddenly pushed open a gap by the other party, and a ray of sunshine seemed to shine into the depths of his soul, he didn't know if the other party felt the same as himself, but he knew that after this pleasant conversation tonight, it seemed to have a more profound impact on the relationship between the two of them.

He has always believed that the lives of the two are not intertwined, the two are separate, and lack of a common language, which is the biggest obstacle to the maintenance of the relationship between the two, although he has never seriously thought about what his marriage with Liu Ruotong will evolve into in the future, but with the change of status, he must not consider this, no matter what he will have in his love life, but there is no relatively stable marriage will undoubtedly have a great impact on his own development in the future.

Zhao Guodong sat in the sand and watched the TV news, while the silhouette of Liu Ruotong's cheeks, who was sitting on the side reading a book, was like a sculpture full of oriental charm, and his slender and upright figure was outlined by a cashmere sweater that was particularly attractive, and a touch of warmth suddenly poured out of a gap in Zhao Guodong's heart. ）

I'm going to get old in two days. "Come out of Zhang Ruogu's house. Liu Ruotong finally relaxed, and his mood seemed to become a little delicate.

"Oh? Are you going back to Astana? Zhao Guodong raised his eyebrows in surprise, Liu Ruotong felt more like a housewife for him during this period of time, although he was not very successful, but at least she was trying to adapt to this kind of life, as if she was also adapting, "Then what should I do?" ”

Zhao Guodong's last sentence made Liu Ruotong suddenly feel a throbbing in the depths of his heart, as if the two of them were because of this one. Month's life was suddenly linked.

"Yo, can you still live without me? Didn't you go well? Liu Ruotong smiled charmingly, "I have my job, and the two of us are destined to get together less and leave more." ”

"No, not necessarily, it's just that you and I are not willing to give up something." Zhao Guodong also said half-jokingly.

Liu Ruotong tilted his head slightly, twisted his face out of the car window, and the Opel car was passing through the traffic, and the strange lights and shadows hit the window glass, reflecting the expressions on the cheeks of the two people in a blur.

"Maybe that's the fate of both of us, we both have our own insistences, and we're not the kind of people who change easily, but isn't that good?" After a long time, Liu Ruotong said quietly, as if he suddenly realized his weakness, Liu Ruotong shook his head violently, wanting to throw away something.

Zhao Guodong was speechless, he didn't even dare to interject more, just sighed slightly.

"What, you don't seem to be separated from me?" Liu Ruotong seems to be more optimistic than Zhao Guodong.

"Do you want me to tell a lie or tell the truth?" Zhao Guodong asked with a smile.

"Falsehood." Liu Ruotong thought for a while before answering.

"It just doesn't make a big difference." Zhao Guodong immediately responded.

To Jing San immediately laughed, "What about the truth? ”

"Well, it's a bit reluctant." Zhao Guodong also answered neatly, which made Liu Ruotong's heart suddenly float with a trace of warmth.

"It's not necessarily from the heart, but I'm still happy." Liu Ruotong pursed his lips and smiled, "It seems that your enterprises under the Ministry of Energy have a lot of activities in Central Asia, and I often meet people from PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC and China United Oil in the embassy to contact us, and our ambassador said that in addition to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, activities, it is your Ministry of Energy that has the most business, and almost more than half of the energy is to help your Ministry of Energy's enterprises coordinate with Kazakhstan." ”

"Central Asia is very important for China's energy security, the Caspian Sea region, the Aral Sea region is quite rich in resources, this region is an energy treasure trove, and now we are facing an opportunity and challenge, the United States is angry with the Afghan Taliban regime because of the incident, and a military strike on Afghanistan will be a, a huge change, China's interests in Central Asia cannot be ignored, I think our country has not done enough in this regard."

"Of course, I am now working in the ministry, which is to make every effort to promote my country's energy companies to march into Central Asia, otherwise once the United States uses its military strength to end the attack on Afghanistan, it will inevitably find ways to extend its power to Central Asia, from military interests to political interests and economic interests, which have no clear boundaries, and are intertwined, and Russia is now powerless to fight with the United States, and we in China must shoulder the responsibility of defending our own interests in this region."

Zhao Guodong noticed that Liu Ruotong was very interested in her topic, probably because it had some connection with the nature of her work.

"Do you think the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan will have an impact on the political situation in Central Asia?" Liu Ruotong asked thoughtfully, she seemed to underestimate her nominal husband's observation and judgment in international politics.

"That is inevitable, the uneven economic development of the Central Asian region, the complexity of religious beliefs, the large number of ethnic groups, and the environment of large and small settlements make this region very easy to become a breeding ground for religious extremist forces, and it took a hundred years for Tsarist Russia and the former Soviet Union to make this region truly stable. With the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the deterioration of the economy, this region is full of unstable factors, and may even affect the social and political stability of the western region of China. ”

Zhao Guodong looked ahead, but his tone was full of thought, "Shanghai Cooperation Organization." From the perspective of political stability and economic interests, the Central Asian countries also need the intervention of a big country like China to balance the power vacuum left by Russia's weakening and counter the possibility of future US intervention. ”

Well, it's no wonder that the Ministry of Energy has been sparing no effort in promoting several state-owned energy companies in Central Asia in recent years
