Chapter 3190 An Oil Pipeline
The plane landed at a military airport in southern Persia. Through the window, a group of people could be seen waiting not far away, and then they prepared to disembark.
"Comrades!"
Mr. Chen arrived in the airplane corridor with a serious expression.
"At this moment, after disembarking from the plane, you represent not only yourselves, but also the motherland behind us..."
"Think twice before you speak or do anything..."
"Let me reiterate the discipline..."
After speaking, Old Chen glanced at everyone and then nodded to Yang Xiaotao.
As the aircraft door opened and the gangway was secured, Chen Laodatou was the first to appear at the door.
A group of people quickly gathered below.
Then Yang Xiaotao led Ran Qiuye to the doorway and looked down.
Leading the way was none other than Mosidov, followed by Alfate, then Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, and Kong Jie.
There were some Persians behind me, most of whom I didn't recognize.
"Hello, esteemed sir!"
"Hello, Mr. Mercidov!"
Mr. Chen and his team met at the front, and the two shook hands and exchanged pleasantries warmly.
After Yang Xiaotao and his wife came down, Mosidov and Alfat warmly greeted them.
"Nephew, it's so good that you could come!"
Mosidov spoke enthusiastically, but the tone of his voice surprised Yang Xiaotao.
When did Mosidov become so "official"?
However, considering the other party's current status, everything makes sense.
"Uncle, you're too kind. I've always wanted to visit you, but I've always just missed it."
"I've taken this opportunity, along with Alfat's joyous occasion, to come and see you!"
"Haha, I'm really happy that you could come at this time!"
Mosidov held Yang Xiaotao's hand with even greater enthusiasm than he did with Old Chen.
The two sides spoke in Persian for three minutes before continuing.
"Brother Tao, sister-in-law!"
Alphat's cheeks were twitching with excitement; he was practically jumping for joy when he got closer.
"He's almost getting married and becoming a husband, and he's still so impulsive!"
Alphat chuckled, then glanced behind him. "Didn't Duanwu and the others come?"
Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "They are busy with their studies and have exams coming up soon, so they couldn't come."
“But when you and Nilufar go back, they’re going to have another celebration.”
All of this had been agreed upon before they came, and Yang Xiaotao just smiled.
Alfat was aware of the situation in Persia and understood Yang Xiaotao's concerns. He then nodded and said, "It's alright, I've prepared gifts for them as well!"
After a brief conversation, Yang Xiaotao walked up to Li Yunlong.
That's the same arrogant look he had, with his head tilted and eyes slanted, but Yang Xiaotao still grinned as he walked over.
"You've become General Manager Yang already? That's fast!"
"It's just so-so, still a bit inferior to what you were like back then!"
Old Li grinned when he heard this, while Kong Jie curled his lip and said, "Only he would believe what you're saying!"
Li Yunlong turned around and glared at Kong Jie, who stared back with his bull-like eyes, neither willing to yield to the other!
Ding Wei nodded to Yang Xiaotao, then looked at Yu Zecheng who was following behind him.
"Section Chief Yu, this is Ding Wei!"
"Hello, Comrade Ding Wei, just call me Lao Yu!"
The two shook hands quickly.
Although we had called each other before and knew of each other's existence, this was the first time we had met in person.
"Let's talk right away!"
"it is good!"
After a brief greeting, everyone boarded a car and left the airport.
On the way, Mosidov shared a car with Mr. Chen.
Yang Xiaotao, Ran Qiuye, and Alfat sat together.
Behind them, Ding Wei and his trio sat together with Yu Zecheng.
"Which generation of the Velociraptor is this car?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at the luxuriously decorated car and asked.
This kind of car is not seen in China, nor is it needed.
A Jeep is enough for getting around; it would be better to sell such a good car and make money from it.
"This is the fourth generation. The frame is the same, but the style has changed, mainly incorporating some French elements..."
Alphat explained to Yang Xiaotao as he drove.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at the houses and residents passing by on both sides of the street.
Many people smiled with admiration when they saw the convoy, and Yang Xiaotao could tell that those smiles came from their true hearts.
"The abolition of agricultural tax has made people's lives much better."
"They knew who had brought this to them, so they strongly supported their father's governance policies..."
"That's right!"
Alphat suddenly smiled at Ran Qiuye in the back row, "Sister-in-law, I discussed the kind of rural education you're doing with my father when I came back, and we think it's very necessary."
“My father has agreed, but I don’t know the specifics yet.”
“Sister-in-law, you’ve come at the perfect time. Tell Father about it later.”
"I think the student subsidy, in particular, should be promoted!"
Ran Qiuye was looking out the window at the human geography of Persia when she suddenly heard Alfat say this and was a little taken aback.
"I... this... this won't do!"
Ran Qiuye was a little apprehensive. After all, this was not China. She knew nothing about the situation abroad. What if she said something wrong and it affected the relationship between the two countries?
"Honey, don't overthink it. Just tell me about the situation of education in the countryside!"
Yang Xiaotao noticed Ran Qiuye's predicament and offered words of comfort.
Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Ran Qiuye finally had her own opinion.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Tao and Sister-in-law, Nilufar is coming later..."
Alfa continued speaking, and the atmosphere in the car was harmonious.
In the car in front, Mosidov was also chatting with Old Chen, but his expression revealed fatigue.
"Sir, please excuse my poor appearance!"
"It's alright. Such a large country has to take responsibility for so many people. The burden on our shoulders is not light!"
Old Chen said with deep feeling.
Fortunately, he was not fighting alone on the revolutionary path.
He has comrades-in-arms by his side and successors behind him!
That's why he's been able to persevere until now.
In comparison, Mosidov is a bit lacking.
Although their background, status, and abilities are all good, they are far from outstanding compared to others.
The reason I'm able to stand here is mostly due to 'luck'—I was in the right place at the right time, and then I took off with the wind.
However, such good fortune can play a crucial role when the times make their choices.
In this current climate where hard power is paramount, it is necessary to demonstrate genuine capabilities.
If one lacks ability, one can only become a speculator in the end, unable to achieve long-term success.
Right now, it's a test of his abilities.
Once you get through this hurdle, you can secure your position.
If you can't get through it, the best thing to do is to retire gracefully and live a peaceful life as a recluse.
Hearing Mr. Chen's words of comfort, Mosidov composed himself and rallied.
"Yes, now when I think about how I carry the hopes and efforts of so many people on my shoulders, it feels like a huge stone is weighing on my heart. I don't dare to stop at all; I have to be busy, have things to do, and have to meet so many people."
As he spoke, Mosidov gave a wry smile. "To be honest, I am neither a qualified leader nor a qualified politician."
"I…"
"If I had a choice, I would rather go back to how I used to be, taking my children on trips abroad to experience different cultures and customs..."
Mosidov covered his face with his hands, while the old butler in front of him silently gritted his teeth, feeling a sudden, indescribable bitterness in his heart.
This is their leader, willing to give everything for their happiness!
Old Chen comforted him, saying, "We Chinese have an old saying: 'If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight!'"
"The meaning is simple: the size of the hat you wear determines the weight you can bear."
"In present-day Persia, it is not only you who have chosen Persia, but also the people of Persia who have chosen you!"
“Lead the people well onto the right path and do not betray their trust in you.”
"This is your mission!"
Mosidov put his hand down after hearing this. "Sir, I understand what you've said."
He then shook his head and said, "But this is too difficult!"
"National development encompasses all aspects!"
"Industry, agriculture, healthcare, education, military, and so on—each of these needs to be started from scratch."
"Industrial construction requires machinery, agriculture requires expenditure, medical equipment is insufficient, and education needs investment."
"Each of them requires money!"
"But right now, the only profitable industry we have is underground oil!"
"Even so, the international community is suppressing our export trade, and more countries would rather choose oil from other countries that are more expensive than import our oil."
"Currently, our fiscal deficit is severe; if it is not addressed, social conflicts will escalate..."
Mosidov seemed to have found someone to confide in, and he didn't treat Old Chen as an outsider, talking non-stop.
Old Chen listened calmly throughout.
A consensus has been reached domestically regarding Persia.
They are an important partner!
So I'll help if I can.
After all, the other party is genuinely wealthy.
But now that Mosidov says they're out of money, it makes one suspicious.
However, considering everything that has happened recently, it seems that despite the rise in oil prices, there has been no sign of Persian oil in the international market.
Could there be something fishy going on here?
Old Chen became more shrewd and began to impart his experience and offer motivational advice to Mosidov.
"Industrial development is never something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires a step-by-step approach..."
"Of course, economic development also needs policy guidance and protection."
After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mosidov took a deep breath and then looked at Mr. Chen seriously. "Sir, you're right. Some things require mandatory investment. Just like you said, abolishing agricultural taxes will cool down domestic conflicts."
"However, the abolition of the agricultural tax did indeed affect the domestic economy."
Fortunately, we adjusted our strategy in time.
Old Chen's face remained unchanged, but he felt somewhat embarrassed inside.
After all, it was Yang Xiaotao's suggestion that this matter was made; he was merely passing on the message.
"I heard that you are building a gas pipeline?"
Suddenly, Mosidov changed the subject, and Old Chen became wary.
Many people know about the West-East Gas Pipeline project, so it's not surprising that the other party knows about it.
But if we bring this up now, what will the other party want?
If you have doubts, your face will look terrible.
"Yes, we are currently building a gas pipeline to transport resources from the western region to the eastern region, accelerating development and construction in both areas..."
"However, this project requires a significant investment, and there are numerous difficulties in terms of personnel, resources, and other aspects."
"We also overcame difficulties step by step through trial and error."
Instead of avoiding the topic, Mr. Chen gave a brief explanation of the West-to-East Gas Pipeline project.
Mosidov listened attentively, and only continued after Elder Chen finished speaking, "I've also heard that your side is planning to import natural gas from Turkmenistan?"
Old Chen raised his eyelids, wondering what the other party was up to!
"Yes, Turkmenistan has contacted us many times to facilitate economic exchanges and development between the two sides, so we are working to facilitate this cooperation."
"However, this pipeline still needs to pass through other countries, and we are currently in discussions. The specific details will depend on the willingness of both parties."
"In addition, there are transit fees; if they're too high, we won't be able to afford them, will we?"
Upon hearing what Elder Chen said, Mosidov suddenly perked up and quickly asked, "If the cooperation is successful, how long will it take for your company to build this pipeline?"
Old Chen was a little confused. Why was this guy so concerned about the natural gas tunnel? Did Persia want to build one too?
He wouldn't mind sending out an engineering team to earn some foreign exchange.
The key point is that the other party mentioned Turkmenistan; could it be that they want to get involved?
Just as Old Chen was filled with doubt, Mosidov said seriously, "Sir, I wonder if your country has ever considered building an oil pipeline!"
"Oil pipeline?"
Old Chen's eyes narrowed, and he was horrified.
This guy won't want it.
