Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Negotiation with Twists and Turns

It would be too naive and naive to think that opening the country to the outside world and gently pulling the country's gates will give you peace of mind. "In a sense, opening up to the outside world, especially its process, is actually much more complicated and arduous than self-reliance." Qin Wencai, who has experienced the initial process of China's opening up to the outside world, has a deep understanding. Many Chinese people may not have such an experience. What is the most troublesome thing in the world?Comrades engaged in foreign cooperation will tell you: negotiating with foreign capitalists is the most exhausting! "Sometimes, while talking, I have the desire to kill each other!" A worker of "Foreign Affairs" once said to me.He also said: "In fact, once the negotiation with the 'foreigner' is completed, the big thing becomes simple and simple. Their way of doing things is: they don't give up an inch during the negotiation process. But once it is on paper After the signature painting is postponed, it doesn't matter how much you struggle, as long as you don't comply with the contract, but if you breach the contract, you have to accept the terms of the agreement, even the penny accounts between brothers and husband and wife must be clear."

How have CNPC people, who have lived in a planned economy environment for decades, ever done any "deals and deals", especially "foreign deals" with international capitalists! “When you read the contract text of a cooperation project brought by a foreign company for the first time, you can’t take a second look. There must be strict regulations on which way to start from the local area and which way to get off work. If you fail to follow the terms and conditions, he will have to fine you. The thinking mode of foreigners is very different from ours, and the international For the text of economic contract terms, sometimes a very small specific matter, they will also come up with a thick text, ranging from dozens of pages to hundreds of pages, or even thousands of pages, let alone read the entire text, Even if you are asked to read a few pages, it will definitely give you a headache. But you must read each word, and you must understand it. If you ignore it a little bit, you may fall into an unknown trap ...Studying the contract text is the most troublesome thing for me, but it is also the most important thing in foreign cooperation, and it must not be sloppy at all.” Qin Wencai confided to me with deep emotion that he has been in charge of PetroChina’s foreign cooperation for more than ten years One of the most distressing and tiring things in the process.

"It can be said that foreign cooperation in offshore oil development is more challenging and arduous than any Sino-foreign cooperative project, because in addition to the interests of both parties, there is also a sharp sword hanging over our heads, which is the issue of national sovereignty. Qin Wencai said that for this reason, he, Kang Shien, Zhang Wenbin and other PetroChina employees were scolded as "traitors" by countless people in the early days of reform and opening up. In order not to be "traitors", he and his colleagues had to endure humiliation again and again, insist on the interests of the country and the nation without hesitation, and launched countless arduous and unremitting negotiations and contests with many foreign companies. Sometimes the contests in the battlefield are crueler and crueler than killing each other on the battlefield. "I want to cry but have no tears, and I have tasted the feeling that life is worse than death!" Qin Wencai said frankly.

"But in the face of national dignity and national interests, what can you do about your personal grievances and helplessness? You have to calm down, adjust your mentality, cover your wounds, lick up the blood, regain your spirits, and then fight and fight hard. Sometimes it is even necessary to carry out against one's will..." This is the quality and self-cultivation cultivated by Qin Wencai and other first batch of workers engaged in opening up to the outside world. The wisdom of diplomats, the arrogance of oil people, and the dignity and friendship of Chinese people, in foreign work, you have to give full play to the extreme, and the more you use it to the extreme, the more respect and gains you will get will be the most gratifying .

The first round of cooperative development was with France and Japan. The reason why the Chinese government chose these two countries was due to both business considerations and political factors.In the Western world's relationship with China, France has always maintained a good relationship with my country. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic, General de Gaulle pursued a friendly diplomatic stance with me.Relations with neighboring Japan are much more complicated.However, in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the early stages of reform and opening up, the Japanese government, especially the new generation of Japanese politicians with Tanaka Kakuei as prime minister, followed the trend of world history. When they saw the changes in Sino-US relations, Lest they fall behind, the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Friendship was concluded in 1978.This friendship treaty with far-reaching historical significance has cleared the obstacles for the economic cooperation between China and Japan.However, due to the deep grievances between China and Japan in modern times, especially the repeated naval battles in the territorial waters and the unclear demarcation line, the basic trust between the two countries has been greatly damaged.

However, when China's seas are open to the east, the Japanese government, which relies heavily on imports of resources and has always been optimistic about China's seabed oil resources, heard that China is carrying out large-scale cooperation with Western countries to develop offshore oil fields, so it can't sit still. In June 1979, the then Prime Minister Masahiro Ohira personally sent a message to the highest level of China through Kiyogo Hamano, chairman of the Japan-China Friendship Diet Association, during his visit to China in June 1979, hoping to formally sign a formal agreement on the joint development of Bohai Bay oil between Japan and China as soon as possible.In fact, there have been many discussions between China and Japan on the joint development of offshore oil before this. Japan's attention and enthusiasm for this issue far exceeds that of European and American oil companies. This is because the Japanese government is motivated by Political needs at home and abroad, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, I really want to show some performance on the issue of China; on the other hand, it is fundamental: if China’s offshore oil development is successful, Japan, a neighboring country with scarce resources and only a few hundred nautical miles, will , of course, most look forward to obtaining a part of the oil resources from the interests of China's trade.The Japanese side has also worked hard on this.In more than a year since 1978, the Japanese side sent eight negotiating delegations to China to negotiate with Qin Wencai and the others, and reached a preliminary agreement.The content of the final agreement is also very impressive. China allocated the Bonan area of ​​the Bohai Bay area to Japanese oil companies for geophysical prospecting and future participation in bidding development. Japan finally agreed to spend 500 million US dollars as Japan's oil payment to China. Joint venture development investment.However, since the dispute over the boundary between China and Japan has not been resolved for more than a hundred years, the issue of "Diaoyu Islands" was immediately brought to the table as soon as the issue of joint development was raised.

"Diaoyu Island" has been a small island in China's waters since ancient times, but some people in Japan insist that it belongs to them. The reason is that during the 50 years of Japanese rule over Taiwan, the Japanese side and the Taiwan regime had allocated the Diaoyu Islands to Japan. "Terms".Naturally, the Chinese government will not admit this, so the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands between China and Japan has become one of the focal points of sovereignty over offshore oil development. When Deng Xiaoping visited Japan, some reporters raised the sensitive issue of "Diaoyu Islands" to him.Deng Xiaoping cleverly replied with superb diplomatic language: Diaoyu Island is a disputed place between China and Japan.Since it is controversial, we will put it on hold for now.He also said: The wisdom of our generation is limited, let the next generation solve it, I believe they can solve it well.

"Set aside disputes and develop together." Later, it became a basic principle of Sino-Japanese offshore oil development.Deng Xiaoping and the Japanese leaders at that time were actually looking forward to oil exploration and development in the Diaoyu Islands area, but because the dispute between the two countries could not be resolved, this plan was shelved.But the oil development project in Bohai Bay has been under intense negotiations.And not only the oil companies between the two countries are concerned about this process, but the senior leaders of the two countries are also very concerned, especially Japan. In 1979, on the eve of Masahiro Ohira’s visit to China, in order to achieve a “result” that symbolized the friendship between Japan and China, the Prime Minister’s Office made the signing of the joint development of the Bohai Bay Oil Project an important task for the leaders of the two countries during their visit to China. content.

This is where Kiyogo Hamano entrusted Deng Xiaoping.This was conveyed through Deng Yingchao and Liao Chengzhi.On the second day after Kiyogo Hamano met with Deng Yingchao and Liao Chengzhi, Deng and Liao jointly wrote a report to Deng Xiaoping.Two days later, Deng Xiaoping issued an instruction: Please ask Japan to help develop the Bohai Bay oil issue, please read and ask the relevant comrades to proceed quickly so that an agreement can be formally reached when Daping comes. At that time, the relationship between China and Japan was very good, and the Chinese side also hoped to have some substantive content to add a little more friendly atmosphere to Masaoyo Ohira's visit to China.Besides, the Chinese government was short of money at that time when all industries were waiting for prosperity, and Japan was able to sell 500 million U.S. dollars to cooperate with China, which also attracted Deng Xiaoping's attention!At this time, Deng Xiaoping presided over a symposium on economic work attended by the first secretaries of the CCP's provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions. At the meeting, he made a special elaboration on the use of foreign capital.Deng Xiaoping believed that China's economy is developing, and it is an excellent opportunity to utilize foreign capital, "because this opportunity is too rare, and this condition does not need to be a pity. After the Second World War, some countries that were severely damaged, including Europe and Japan, They were all set up with loans.” Deng Xiaoping also used an example to calculate an account: “I went to Singapore to learn about their use of foreign capital. Foreigners set up factories in Singapore, and Singapore got several benefits. One is 35% of the profits of foreign-funded enterprises have to be used to pay taxes, and this part is for the country; one is for labor income, and the workers are for it; the other is for driving the service industry, which is all income.” After the above words, Deng Xiaoping He further said, "There is a foothold that must be placed on making full use of foreign capital. It would be a pity not to use it!"

It is rare for Deng Xiaoping, who has never said too much in his speech, to use two consecutive "too bad" in a short speech of a few hundred words.This shows Deng Xiaoping's concern about the use of foreign capital. The Japanese side also grasped the mentality of the Chinese leaders who had just started the reform and opening up, and they chased after them.Zhang Wenbin, Qin Wencai and other Chinese oil workers therefore continued to discuss and negotiate with the Japanese side while conducting rounds of tense and tedious negotiations with oil companies in Europe and the United States.

In December 1979, on the second day of Prime Minister Masahiro Ohira's visit to China, the general agreement between China and Japan on oil development in Bohai Bay was signed in the Great Hall of the People. In February 1980, China and Japan signed a supplementary agreement on the oilfield development issues left over from the general agreement, and all previous agreements were not formal contract texts.According to Japanese law, it must also be approved by the Diet.The Japanese side attaches great importance to this, and the text was quickly passed by the ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, which holds the majority of seats.At this time, the Chinese side had its own ideas: the signing time of the formal contract text was hoped to be during the visit of Chinese Chairman Hua Guofeng to Japan in May 1980.This is a form of peer-to-peer diplomacy.Japan agrees. "Sometimes our actions must be subject to diplomatic needs." Qin Wencai, who is in charge of the entire CNOOC external work, said. How difficult is the complexity of foreign negotiations, I can give you an example to tell you: it takes a month or two for each party to clearly understand the other party's text expression after the formal text is formed.After the text of the agreement between China and Japan was formed, it took two months for Qin Wencai and others to send professionals to Japan to check the Japanese version of the agreement. It was necessary to check the Japanese and Chinese word by word, clause by clause. expressive meaning. In May 1980, under the leadership of Li Jingxin, Zhao Shengzhen and Zhong Yiming, the delegation of China Petroleum Corporation arrived in Tokyo before Chairman Hua Guofeng's state visit to finalize some details of the original cooperation agreement between the two countries.After the delegation arrived in Tokyo, it reported to Beijing almost every day.Qin Wencai and others grasped the general direction at any time, and Kang Shien was in charge of the command. Chairman Hua Guofeng has already set off. This is a historic visit by the top Chinese leader between China and Japan.The Chinese oil company delegation was excited and excited, and the Japanese oil companies were also very happy. After more than two years of negotiations, the offshore oil cooperation between the two countries is one of the most important projects that symbolize the friendship between China and Japan. Let's start with the signing ceremony.But at this moment, Beijing suddenly sent an urgent telegram to the CNPC delegation with eight words: "Stop the negotiation and return home immediately." How is this going?When the telegram was put in the hands of Li Jingxin, Zhao Shengzhen and Zhong Yiming, they were stunned: This... isn't this an international joke! "Everything has been negotiated with the Japanese side. Now that the negotiations are suddenly suspended, how can I explain to them?" Someone in the delegation complained.Li Jingxin, Zhao Shengzhen and Zhong Yiming, the head and deputy head of the group, also looked at each other very sadly, at a loss. "Call Beijing immediately and ask what's going on! See if there is room for maneuver..." someone said. "Old Zhao, you can call and ask." Li Jingxin said to Zhao Shengzhen. After a while, Zhao Shengzhen drooped his head and came back weakly to tell everyone: "The Beijing side said that one or two sentences are unclear, let's go back and talk about it." The sudden cancellation of an important item not only shocked the negotiators in the oil circles of China and Japan, but also shocked the political circles of the two countries.The original signing ceremony between Chairman Hua Guofeng and Prime Minister Ohira Masayoshi was gone, and Li Jingxin and other members of the CNPC delegation had no choice but to pack their bags and prepare to return home. When Li Jingxin bid farewell to Mr. Tokunaga from Nippon Oil Corporation, Mr. Tokunaga trembled in astonishment: "This...Mr. Li, what happened?" He asked Li Jingxin, but Li Jingxin could only tell him in embarrassment One sentence: "Mr. Tokunaga, we will come back. The Chinese are countries that pay attention to credibility, and oil cooperation between China and Japan is also necessary. Please rest assured that you and your colleagues." Having said that, the members of the China National Petroleum Corporation delegation who visited Japan felt that there was a feeling of cowardice in their hearts and they couldn't get out.The first thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to find out what it was for! Qin Wencai told them: I reported the matter, and Vice Premier Kang Shien took the decision. Why?So Qin Wencai had to tell them the cause and effect—— It turned out that while negotiating with Japan, Qin Wencai was presiding over the negotiations with the French company Total.Almost at the same time that Li Jingxin and the others were finalizing the text of the final agreement in Tokyo and Japan, Qin Wencai, the chief negotiator between China and France, was also carefully looking at the final text of the oil development agreement between China and France... The text of the agreement is too thick, with hundreds of pages, densely packed.The first feeling Qin Wencai held in his hands was as if a big stone was pressed against his heart, it was very heavy and stuffy.As the Deputy Minister of Petroleum and Director of Foreign Affairs Bureau in charge of CNOOC's foreign cooperation, he deeply feels the heavy responsibility.Qin Wencai, who had already given up cigarettes, had to become a "smoker" again because of these hard-to-chew agreements... While one cigarette after another was burning, he flipped through pages of contract texts. Qin Wencai's thick eyebrows were furrowed more and more: such an agreement, our Chinese side's risk is too great!We don't know how much we will lose in such a cooperation!The more Qin Wencai looked at it, he felt that there were too many "tricks" in the contract text, which was too mysterious!In a word: There are too many places where China suffers! Such a contract cannot be signed!A strong sense of responsibility and mission, like a rush of blood, rushed to the veteran's forehead. "Mr. Qin, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Mr. Dale, the chief negotiator of France's Total, asked in a low voice when he saw that the negotiating opponent's expression was getting darker and darker in the smoke. "I feel uncomfortable after reading this contract text." Qin Wencai, who has always been polite and can sometimes make swords and swords, said bluntly. Mr. Dale was surprised and said: "This contract text is a consensus formed after many rounds of negotiations between the two parties. I don't see any problems. We should be able to sign it formally." Qin Wencai raised his piercing eyes to look at his opponent, and said with a voice: "This is indeed a consensus we have reached through hard negotiations, but I think the economic clauses in the contract text are worth studying carefully." "What, you still need to study?" Mr. Dale almost didn't jump up, he turned around a few times, and then said in an incredible tone: "I'm most afraid of the 'research' of you Chinese." Qin Wencai nodded and said, "Yes, we Chinese are not very experienced in many things, and research and research are necessary." Then he stood up, picked up the contract text and went out, then turned around and said to Dell , "However, Mr. Dale, don't worry, we will study the results, please be patient." "I'm patient enough!" Dale said fiercely in his heart. Qin Wencai left Dell, went home and had a quick dinner, then went straight to Kang Shien's house in Qin Lao Hutong with the contract text in his arms.But he didn't knock on the door, but stood in front of the crabapple tree in the yard for a long time - after all, it was the deputy prime minister's house, and he wanted dinner too! You can go in!Qin Wencai walked in when she heard the sound of clearing the dining table inside. "Come on! Sit down." Kang Shien, who had just had dinner, pointed to the sofa beside him when he saw his close subordinate.After both of them sat down, Kang Shien glanced at Qin Wencai and said, "Why is there something wrong with your expression today? Is that Frenchman a difficult negotiating partner?" Qin Wencai frowned and said nothing.Kang Shi'en seemed to realize something, so he said to his family: "Pull up two chairs, and Wen Cai and I will sit in the yard." There is a cool breeze in the yard, which is a little cooler than the house.Qin Wencai couldn't wait to report to Kang Shienhui: "I feel more and more that the industrial cooperation model negotiated with the French needs to be rethought. A few days ago, several of us exchanged opinions among ourselves, and comrades such as Wei Buren and Tang Changxu did the same. Everyone thinks that this kind of industrial cooperation is not good for us!" "Why?" Kang Shien's eyes widened. "If we continue to talk, we may suffer a loss, a lot of losses." Qin Wencai said. "Say, tell me in detail." Kang Shi'en knows that the "industrial cooperation" model with France is based on the practices of some foreign countries in developing offshore oil, and the negotiations between China and France have been going on for more than a year. Qin Wencai It must have been crucial that they raised this question at the last moment.He carefully looked at every word Qin Wencai said—— "Today I was at the negotiating table and repeatedly looked at the economic clauses in the contract text they drafted. For them, according to this economic clause, there is no risk to bear. They only provide equipment, technology, loans, experts and technology. No matter what the prospects and results of their exploration are, they will not suffer any loss if they find no oil. But we must also repay them all expenses such as loans, interest and equipment, technology and services according to the contract. This result, It means that their so-called investment is actually a risk-free recovery!" "Wait, tell me again!" Kang Shi'en, who was listening and smoking a cigarette, was touched by Qin Wencai's words like a spring, and touched a deep problem - oil cooperation projects with foreign countries. Not all have the same problem. Qin Wencai saw that his old minister had fully understood what he meant, so he wiped the sweat that had dripped down his neck, and explained again the key issues he found in the negotiation with France. "So it is!" Kang Shien stood up from the chair, and then asked Qin Wencai with sharp eyes: "Does the general contract in Japan have the same problem?" Qin Wencai nodded: "The problem is basically the same. I have read the text of the agreement on cooperation with Japan. In a word: whether it is the French or the Japanese, they both guarantee their harvest during drought and flood. As for us, if we happen to find an oil field, we may still get benefits. , but if no oil is found, the foreign company will withdraw the experts and pat their butts away after the investment is completed. But at that time, what else can we do? In a few years, everything has to be done from scratch!" After listening to Qin Wencai's words, Kang Shien walked back and forth quickly in the small courtyard, thinking... Suddenly, he stopped, waved his right hand vigorously in the air, and ordered: "Stop the negotiation! Stop immediately!" "Yes!" Qin Wencai stood up, as if he had accepted the order to attack the devils. That night, the lights in the office meeting room of the Minister of Petroleum in Liupu Kang, Beijing, stayed on until late at night.An emergency meeting on matters related to Sino-foreign cooperation negotiations is being held here. After emergency consultations with the leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum, such as Song Zhenming, Zhang Wenbin, Qin Wencai, and Zou Ming, Vice Premier Kang Shien officially made a key decision: suspend the ongoing In the negotiation of Sino-foreign cooperation mode of offshore oil, re-choose the best cooperation mode. That night, the urgent message received in Tokyo was generated in this way. At the same time, Qin Wencai from Beijing also came to the Beijing Hotel where the negotiating delegation of the French company Total stayed the next day. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the French delegation Dale and his party, who had been waiting anxiously all night, had just taken their seats, and they made a soft but hard start to their opponent, Qin Wencai, who was sitting on the opposite side of the table: "Mr. Can we initial the contract text today?" Seeing that Qin Wencai remained calm, Dale went on to say, "Our negotiations have been going on for a long time, and as Total, which is here to help China develop its offshore oil business, we sincerely hope that We can carry out substantive field work with cooperation projects in your country as soon as possible, so please fully understand our sincerity." After Dale finished speaking, he opened the agreement text and was about to push it towards Qin Wencai, "Wait!" Qin Wencai stretched out his right hand, gently blocked the agreement text in the middle of the negotiation table, and said, "Dear Your Excellency, I am very sorry. The relevant economic clauses and the "industrial cooperation" method in the contract drafted by the Chinese side are considered unacceptable by the Chinese side after further research. For this reason, I solemnly tell you and the gentlemen and ladies of the delegation: According to the current contract text, further It is no longer necessary to continue negotiations, so in the current situation, it is impossible for us to sign." "What? Mr. Qin, what are you talking about? Do you understand..." Dale was obviously confused by the sudden result. He wanted to say, "Do you Chinese understand the rules of the game in international business negotiations?" But In the end, he swallowed the words with great restraint, but he couldn't accept Qin Wencai's announcement, so he said in an aggressive tone: "Mr. Qin, the content of our text is the result of many negotiations between the two parties. Is this what we unilaterally forced?" Qin Wencai nodded, first signaled the annoyed Dale to sit down, and then said: "I don't deny this point. But respected Mr. Dale, I think your Excellency is very clear: since it is the content of the negotiation, as long as the two parties have not Before the formal signing, can both parties still put forward their own opinions and ideas? Well, what do you think, Your Excellency?" Dale was stunned by Qin Wencai's polite question: "Well, Mr. Qin is right. Before the agreement is formally signed, anyone can express their suggestions and opinions." "Well, our Chinese side is based on this point, so we put forward the opinions I just notified to you." At this time, Qin Wencai spoke in a very calm tone. He even looked at Dale with a smile and looked at all the French delegations. member. Qin Wencai's smile and eyes are sincere and full of friendship. However, Dell, who has always been respected, still couldn't accept it. As if he had suffered a great humiliation, he suddenly took out a large stack of notebooks and documents from his bag, and said loudly to Qin Wencai: "This is the record and evidence of our negotiations between the two sides! You Chinese Does human speech count? Ah, does it count?" The air in the room suddenly became tense.All eyes were on Qin Wencai's face... Qin Wencai, who had a "national" face and a tight cut head, moved his body slightly, and then sat down on the chair like Mount Tai, with one right hand stretched out on the table The tea cup, and then only heard the sound of "bang" on the table. The sound was not too loud, but it made all the negotiators in the room somewhat frightened. "Negotiation is negotiation, and it is a process in which both parties continue to reach consensus. Before the formal signing, all texts and opinions have no legal effect. Doesn't Mr. Dale, who has quite a lot of experience in international negotiations, understand this? I can hereby On behalf of the CNPC delegation, I solemnly tell Mr. Dale and all French friends that once the agreement is signed, we Chinese will definitely abide by the contract!" Qin Wencai's words were resounding. "But our industrial cooperation model has been successful in many places in the world, such as Africa and the Middle East. Our cooperation is satisfactory to both parties." Dell has become less angry, but he still tries to Redeem something. "China is China. We are a big oil country with an annual output of 100 million tons. We are neither Africa nor the Middle East." Qin Wencai responded neither humble nor overbearing. The Sino-French negotiations, like the Sino-Japanese negotiations, were temporarily suspended at the same time.These two rounds of nearly overturned negotiations have given many foreign oil companies a new understanding of China, which has just opened up to the outside world. At the same time, they have gained a new understanding of Qin Wencai and other Chinese oil leaders who have come from the hail of bullets. awe. However, CNOOC's opening up is at the forefront of China's opening up to the outside world. Therefore, under the unified leadership of the chief designer Deng Xiaoping, it did not stop, but moved faster and more steadily.In cooperation with French and Japanese offshore oil companies, after strategic and tactical adjustments by Kang Shien, Zhang Wenbin, Qin Wencai, etc., a risk contract for exploration and development in stages was adopted. Simply put, both parties share risks and responsibilities and make profits distributed proportionally thereafter.This plan finally succeeded between China, France and Japan. When the agreement between China and France's Total was formally signed, the Japanese side, after learning about it, strongly demanded that the Sino-Japanese cooperation agreement must be "the first" to be signed. "The Japanese side is very particular about the 'jackpot', so they made such a request." The foreign affairs department came to report to Qin Wencai. These Japanese!Qin Wencai was laughing in his heart, but after all, the cooperation projects and investment between Japan and China are much larger than those of France, so it is understandable for him to propose to win the "jackpot".what to do?The signing of the agreement with France has been notified to Total, so we can't embarrass them, right? Diplomacy is such a hassle!The relevant staff of the Ministry of Petroleum felt helpless. Let's do this: we choose the same day to sign in Beijing and Tokyo at the same time, both of them are "firsts"!Qin Wencai made a brilliant move. OK!The French and Japanese were very happy to hear this, and sincerely admired the wisdom and art of dealing with Chinese people. When the delegation of the Chinese Petroleum Corporation delivered the two contract texts of the Sino-French and Sino-Japanese offshore oil cooperation projects to Qin Wencai, the "old eighth road" caressed the two thick international cooperation agreements, and suddenly imagined... ...how many days and nights?How many people worked hard for it?How many negotiation rounds?Qin Wencai can't remember clearly, what he thought of was that the vast sea of ​​China was about to set off a huge wave of foreign cooperative oilfield development, which would affect China's modernization process, the world oil market and even the global economic situation... However, Qin Wencai did not expect that at this important moment of opening up to the outside world, a sudden surge in China's sea waters almost ruined the entire future of China's offshore oil development and foreign cooperation. This is the "Bohai Sea" that shocked the world. No. 2 shipwreck——
