Chapter 11 Chapter Ten The Unprecedented "Bohai Sea Demonstration Conference"

Qin Wencai is one of the few leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum who was not much involved in the "Bohai No. 2" accident.Because at that time, he was busy presiding over negotiations with oil companies in several countries and traveling among countries. He came back from abroad only a few days after the "Bohai No. 2" accident, so later in the whole process of investigating the accident, Qin Wencai was one of the few people who were not directly responsible.But he also did not escape all kinds of pressure from all sides rushing to the Ministry of Petroleum at that time, and he also deeply felt the severe and biting "too high to be cold"...

First of all, it is not easy for the voices that have always been able to directly obtain firm support from the central government.The second is that the soldiers below have been seriously shaken and doubted. Some departments and units even no longer act vigorously when cooperating with foreign countries, but wait and see. After the State Council made a decision on the "Bohai No. 2" accident, even the post of minister of the Ministry of Petroleum was vacant there, and a deputy minister presided over the work temporarily.This autumn, on the way back from the PLA General Hospital, Qin Wencai was in a panic: he had just come out of Kang Shien's ward, and the 65-year-old minister suddenly collapsed shortly after being punished. On examination, it was found to be bladder cancer.In the eyes of oilmen, this seems to be another "Bohai No. 2" incident.

Qin Wencai's heart was crying.However, he could not stop and pull back the cooperation ships of China National Offshore Oil Corporation that had sailed out of the coast...Contracts with companies such as France, Japan and the United States have been signed, and the geophysical fleets of many countries have already been in the South China Sea, the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea. If these cooperations are affected and delayed due to China's reasons, the losses will be huge and must be borne by China.Qin Wencai felt that she was overwhelmed by Mount Tai... When he went to the Ministry, he wanted to find Zhang Wenbin, the old leader and the deputy minister who presided over the foreign cooperation affairs with him, but he was told: Vice Minister Zhang had gone to the south to "recuperate" under the instructions of his superiors—during the "Bohai No. 2" accident During the investigation and handling process, several leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum were either arranged to "rest" or to "study".

Qin Wencai came to the office of Vice Minister Jiao Liren, who was in charge of the work, worried. After reporting the situation of the overseas inspection, he asked: "What should we do in the next step for foreign cooperation? Do it, or not?" Jiao Liren looked at the old men—they were all old oil men from Yumen Oilfield, and said with a rather ugly face, "Don't worry!" "Aren't you in a hurry?" Qin Wencai, who has always been known for his prudence, couldn't hold his breath this time. He jumped up from his chair and walked back and forth in the room, "We signed a contract with him. ah!"

"I just want to ask one question: Do you want to cooperate with foreign countries, or should you not do it?" Qin Wencai said "forced the palace" a little out of composure. Jiao Liren, who was a few years older, was also from the "Old Eighth Route".Jiao Liren, who was ordered in a crisis, looked at Qin Wencai. In fact, he understood very well in his heart, but as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Petroleum "in charge of work" in a special period, he could only answer Qin Wencai in this way: "Slow down." "This..." Qin Wencai wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton wool, and his face immediately flushed red.When he wanted to open his mouth again, the Jiaoli man stopped him with a gesture.Jiao Liren asked: "Are foreign companies still coming?"

Qin Wencai didn't want to talk anymore, so she shook her head and turned to leave.At this time, Jiao Liren hurriedly added: "Those who have signed the contract, they will be executed according to the contract, and those who have not signed will slow down!" This year's summer, autumn, and winter, Qin Wencai felt extremely sad. I don't know if it was the weather or something else. Anyway, Qin Wencai felt that the six-storey kang of the Ministry of Petroleum where he worked, this year's summer was particularly boring, even in the evening. There is no wind blowing on the moat in the south to enjoy the cool air; in autumn, there is no leaf falling, but the north wind is blowing, and it is very cold... "Actually, the hearts of all the people in the Ministry of Petroleum are cold. Before robbing The people who are on board are eager to stay away from the ocean now, and everyone wants to hide when they hear about foreign cooperation. In a word, everyone’s enthusiasm for CNOOC’s foreign cooperation has dropped to freezing point.” Today’s Qin Wencai recalled that period of time , still frowning.

In fact, at the same time when the State Council formally issued its opinion on the handling of the "Bohai No. In the "3 23 Great Controversies", its official name is "Bohai Demonstration Meeting". Qin Wencai and the others, who wholeheartedly wanted to blaze a trail for foreign cooperation for the national oil industry, never imagined that they had devoted themselves to foreign cooperation for several years and were suddenly scolded as "outright traitorous behavior" overnight. ", this kind of scolding continued until later and gradually evolved into a full-scale questioning of the work of the entire Ministry of Petroleum and China's opening up to the outside world... It is the rain that is about to come.For a while, dark clouds burst over the Ministry of Petroleum, making Qin Wencai's foreign affairs personnel who were negotiating with foreigners afraid to walk with their heads up as if they had done something wrong.

"The Ministry of Petroleum stinks!" "The Ministry of Petroleum has a group of vampires!" "People in the Ministry of Petroleum don't take people's hard-earned money seriously!" "There are traitors in the Ministry of Petroleum..." Qin Wencai and people from the Ministry of Petroleum can often hear such scolding on the streets and on bus platforms.At that time, "gossip" spread no slower than mobile phone text messages now, and a matter that had no trace at all spread throughout the capital within half a day or overnight, and quickly spread to all over the world outside the capital.

The author is also a person who grew up in that era, and has a general understanding of various situations in Chinese society under that historical condition.Both the public accusations against the Ministry of Petroleum and private abuse by the people were all triggered by the "Bohai No. 2" incident.But the controversy and confrontation over whether opening up to the outside world is patriotism or traitorism is actually a manifestation of the fierce struggle between the two concepts and two trends of thought in China at that time.It is not only a confrontation of ideas and thoughts among the people, but also malicious attacks from the remnants of the "Gang of Four" and the shadow of the "two whatevers".The struggle that Qin Wencai and the others faced was firstly ferocious, secondly overwhelming, and thirdly a combination of internal and external cooperation, which threatened to completely kill Deng Xiaoping and the Party Central Committee's decision to open up to the outside world.

The good guys and the bad guys all exposed their truths in this confrontation, the clowns and the heroes each showed their true qualities, and a group of "defenders of justice" who didn't know the truth and were self-righteous also joined in the fun, hoping to make some political capital out of it.However, real gold is not afraid of fire, and both the real traitor and the fake traitor are the most exciting performers in this confrontation. The fuse was an article in Huaqiao Daily, a Chinese-language newspaper in New York, USA.This article signed by "Wei Zongguo" was published on January 25, 1980, one month after the "Bohai No. 2" shipwreck was announced, and half a year after Qin Wencai signed a cooperation agreement with Japanese, French and American oil companies.

"Wei Zongguo" - (the homonym of "Wei Zhongguo"), his article was full of gunpowder when it came up. Out of his "strong righteous indignation against the traitors", he criticized the oil cooperation contract between China and Japan signed under the auspices of the Ministry of Petroleum Conducted an "analysis" and concluded that: "In the Sino-Japanese cooperative exploration and development agreement for Bohai oil, the remuneration ratio between China and Japan is 1:1.35; while the share ratio between foreign contract resource countries and foreign investors is generally 4:1." Obviously, such a big contrast shows that the Chinese Ministry of Petroleum and some officials are "doing invisible tricks" with the Japanese who have long been hostile to China.The article also explained with "facts": "Within a few dozen days after the contract was signed, the Japanese had already invested 700 million U.S. dollars. They have earned back the capital with profits!" According to this prediction, "Wei Zongguo" predicted that the cooperation between China and Japan It will cause China to lose 100 billion U.S. dollars during the 15-year contract period. This is not bad!At that time, the living standard of Chinese people was very low, how much was the gross national product of the whole country? The concept of 100 billion US dollars is an incredible number in everyone's mind. "What the hell are the people from the Ministry of Petroleum doing? Are they trying to sell our China to Little Japan?" The Chinese have the problem of "fighting within the nest". Now when they hear that someone is going to sell out their national interests, some people immediately respond.At this time, a lady from the Intelligence Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences took advantage of her work, and when she read the article by "Wei Zongguo", out of a strong sense of "patriotism" and a strong sense of responsibility, she had the courage to fight against the case, and immediately sent her A cavity of "patriotic blood" was poured on the tip of the pen-she used ten thousand characters to report to the central leadership the "traitorous behavior" and "iron fact" of the Ministry of Petroleum.When the letter was sent out, the article by "Wei Zongguo" from "Overseas Chinese Daily" was also attached. What are the criteria for testing truth? Do you still want the "two whatevers"?In the Chinese society at that time, we seem to be able to hear various voices on whether the reform and opening up is patriotism or traitorism, and so on. Although these voices are very noisy, they are very important to the people who have just emerged from the closed and political oppression. Chinese people from all walks of life liberated from the environment will have different reactions. What is socialism?What is socialism with Chinese characteristics?Can socialism engage in a market economy?What is the nature of the economic form of doing business with foreign capitalists?Wait, all of these are both theoretical and cognitive issues, and at the same time practical issues before everyone.People need to make a correct judgment on it, and all the correct things at that time also had many unsatisfactory places because it was in its infancy.On the contrary, those things that are wrong or even reactionary and hinder the progress of the four modernizations tend to confuse ordinary cadres and the masses. Many people responded to the "patriotism" behavior of "Wei Zongguo" and the lady from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Coupled with the occurrence of the "Bohai No. 2" incident of the Ministry of Petroleum, the "traitors" were ruthlessly "exposed in broad daylight." Qin Wencai, Zhang Wenbin, and of course Kang Shien are all representative figures who have been abused as "traitors" behind their backs.The entire Ministry of Petroleum seems to have become a camp "captured by capitalism and imperialism". The fact that the letter from the lady at the Chinese Academy of Sciences went all the way to the highest level of the CCP and finally reached Deng Xiaoping’s desk illustrates one point—no one dares to let go of a “traitor group” as big as the Ministry of Petroleum easily. This time it was Deng Xiaoping's turn to ponder: Yes, the society has been talking about reform and opening up for a while, and there are all kinds of irresponsible remarks. Among them, the issue of using foreign capital and opening to the outside world exposed the debate on whether it is patriotism or traitorism. , extremely intense. What is patriotism?What is traitorism?What is true patriotism, and what is false patriotism and true traitorism?All these issues must be known and understood clearly by our people! When clarifying these issues, we must guard against "Left" things and at the same time guard against Right things. Deng Xiaoping sat on the sofa in the office, put the letter and the article of "Wei Zongguo" aside, then lit a "giant panda", and began to think... After a long time, he picked up a red-lead pencil and wrote in the letter. Rewrite the next line of instructions at the top of the page: Comrades Qiuli and Gu Mu: Please gather a group of experts and make a good argument. The executor of Deng Xiaoping's instructions should be Yu Qiuli, then vice premier and in charge of oil work.When he received Deng Xiaoping’s instructions, he also saw the instructions of Zhao Ziyang, then Premier of the State Council: “Qiuli, Comrade Shi’en, I hope this letter will be taken seriously. Offshore oil development, that is, plans for cooperation with foreign countries, should be seriously organized by experts gender research, and to listen to dissenting opinions." During that time, Yu Qiuli was in a very bad mood. His old partner Kang Shien had already been publicly punished with a "serious demerit" and was diagnosed with cancer and died in the 301 Hospital. When Song Zhenming, Minister of Petroleum, was dismissed, people often complained about it. It was passed to his ears, Yu Qiuli, and there are already many public and private names of Yu Qiuli in the newspapers. It seems that the Ministry of Petroleum has become a big black den of "traitors", and Yu Qiuli is this " The "general backstage" in "The Great Black Den of Traitors". "Someone just said that about you!" Some of Yu Qiuli's children said that to him. Every time at this time, the "one-armed general" would be furious: "Shit! They know shit! If there were traitors in our Ministry of Petroleum, China would not have Daqing Oilfield and Shengli Oilfield! Imperialism has already been trampled underfoot !" But outside and at work, Yu Qiuli still maintains the demeanor that a vice premier and veteran general should have. He calmly thinks about and deals with the arduous tasks before him and the precarious voyage of offshore oil opening to the outside world... He believes in his own The veteran subordinates Kang Shi'en, Zhang Wenbin, and Qin Wencai will not do anything harmful to the country and the nation, and they believe that the vast number of oil workers and cadres of the Ministry of Petroleum can stand the test. "Wen Cai, you have to prepare carefully, make a report, and explain your opinions and views. Because this issue is very sensitive. Some people call us 'it is better to give gifts to friends than to slaves'. We must study carefully and have a sense of Find out what is right and what is wrong. There are still problems, and you can’t be sloppy and vague.” Yu Qiuli quickly called Qin Wencai to the office of the Energy Commission, and made arrangements and explanations in time. Comrade Yang Bo, deputy director of the Energy Commission, also participated in the talk.He added: "This argument has a lot to do with it, and you must pay full attention to it. When the time comes, you must explain why you want to cooperate with foreign countries and how those projects were approved, and you must explain clearly!" "Yes!" Qin Wencai resolutely assured the two leaders: I will start preparations immediately when I go back, and I will do my best to deal with this big debate and demonstration. "Wencai, Lao Kang is ill. You have a heavy burden during this period. On the one hand, you must be fully prepared to face all kinds of storms and challenges. On the other hand, you should not delay the things you should do. The four modernizations The pace will not stop, on the contrary, it will speed up, so our oil front cannot hold back the country, you have to suffer more with your comrades!" When parting, Yu Qiuli used his strong right hand to hold Qin Wencai's tightly. Hold the road. "Please rest assured, old chief, we will live up to the expectations of you and the Party Central Committee!" Qin Wencai assured again. After leaving Yu Qiuli and Yang Bo, Qin Wencai returned to the Ministry of Petroleum, reported to the party group in time, and then immediately organized the relevant personnel involved in the Sino-Japanese negotiations Li Jingxin, Zhao Shengzhen, Zhong Yiming, Zou Ming, Li Bingquan, and You You, who was in charge of treaties and contracts from the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Dehua, Tang Changxu, Sun Shujun and other comrades held an emergency consultation meeting, and while conveying the instructions of the central leadership, they arranged corresponding demonstration preparations. "Unexpectedly, we have worked so hard to do so many things for the country, and now we have become traitors! Hell!" Someone complained when they heard the seriousness of the problem. "This is not the time to express grievances. This debate is not only related to the work of our offshore oil cooperation with foreign countries, but also will have a major impact on the country's entire opening up to the outside world. Everyone must not slack off in the slightest. Go back and prepare well! March On the 23rd, we 'defendants' will make a collective appearance!" Finally, Qin Wencai stood up from his seat, and glanced at all the generals who were about to enter the final debate... "I hope you will perform well!" Qin Wencai said. No one responded to his words, but the expressions of his subordinates told him: The Ministry of Petroleum is facing a life-and-death moment, and none of us will be trampled to death or scolded to death easily! On March 23, 1981, a large-scale demonstration meeting with a luxurious camp and an extremely serious atmosphere was held as scheduled in the meeting room on the fifth floor of the Ministry of Petroleum Building in Liupukang, Beijing. There are many unexplained coincidences in history: the report meeting attended by the central leaders who made the major decision on CNOOC's opening up to the outside world three years ago was also held in late March.Three years later, it was a big discussion on whether to open up to the outside world and cooperate with foreign companies to develop offshore oil is patriotism or treason... Is it ridiculous or sad? Qin Wencai said that he still hasn't figured it out. what's going on. "Patriots who truly pursue and implement patriotic acts are called traitors; while some people, in that great debate, appeared as patriots. Do you think it is ridiculous or sad?" Thirty years later, Qin Wencai asked me this question. All answers will be concluded in the face of objective and iron facts. As mentioned earlier, the camp of this demonstration meeting is unprecedentedly luxurious for two reasons: First, there are so many participating units. In addition to the Ministry of Petroleum, there are also the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the State Planning Commission, the State Economic Commission, and the State Science and Technology Commission. National People's Congress Legislative Affairs Committee, Research Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Ministry of Geology, Ministry of Petroleum, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, State Oceanic Administration, Bank of China, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Geological Society of China, Chinese Geophysical Society and Xinhua News Agency , "People's Daily", "Guangming Daily" and other 24 national ministries and commissions and mainstream media units participated; the second is nearly a hundred top domestic experts, mainly engaged in petroleum and geology, economics, and legal experts. Some of them are experts in the new China Huang Jiqing, Zhang Wenyou, Gu Gongxu, Weng Wenbo, Hou Xianglin, Yan Dunshi, Guan Shicong, Zhai Guangming, Zou Ming, Qiu Zhongjian and other petroleum and geological experts who have made outstanding contributions to the petroleum industry, as well as Ma Hong, Xu Shoubo, Tang Houzhi, etc. The moderator of the meeting was a figure that everyone is familiar with now—comrade Jiang Zemin with a square face, wide-rimmed glasses on his big eyes, and a magnetic voice.At that time, Jiang Zemin was the deputy director of the National Import and Export Commission, and the central government decided to host the demonstration meeting jointly with the Import and Export Commission and the Energy Commission.The other host is Comrade Yang Bo, who is quite familiar with the Ministry of Petroleum. The first day of the meeting was announced under the chairmanship of Jiang Zemin.Immediately afterwards, Vice Premier Yu Qiuli, who is also the director of the Energy Commission, made a short speech—because although Yu Qiuli is the Vice Premier of the State Council at this moment, in fact, the other side of the debate has already listed him in private as "encouraging and instigating the Ministry of Petroleum to carry out Therefore, after Yu Qiuli made some official remarks with great interest, he quickly handed over the leadership of the demonstration meeting to Jiang Zemin and Yang Bo, and left the venue by himself. However, as the leader of the State Council, Yu Qiuli's opening remarks were still very powerful.He said: "Exploration and development of offshore oil is an important strategy for the development of China's oil industry. It is a decision made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. The Central Committee attaches great importance to this. This demonstration meeting should be fully demonstrated in terms of economy and technology to emancipate the mind. , seeking truth from facts, studying new situations, and solving new problems, the purpose is to do a good job in the overall work of my country's offshore oil exploration and development." After Yu Qiuli left, Qin Wencai noticed that the meeting scene, which had a strong smell of gunpowder, suddenly became more dignified and dull.What made him feel a little uncomfortable was that the lady who wrote a letter to Deng Xiaoping seemed very complacent today, her eyes were looking around the scene from time to time and exploring something.And some reporters from the news unit also seemed to regard her as a "hero", walking over to communicate with her and exchanging contact phone numbers from time to time. "Calm down, we are the 'defendants' now!" Qin Wencai warned herself secretly.When he passed this kind of admonishing gaze to Zhao Shengzhen, Zhong Yiming and others sitting beside him, he felt a little funny: because Qin Wencai saw Zhao Shengzhen and Zhong Yiming sitting there more upright and serious than himself, It's really a bit of a "defendant". "Hey, there's no need to do this, we are solemnly stating it! It's nothing special." Qin Wencai used both arms and eyes, sending strength to his comrades. Suddenly, he saw a smile full of relief and confidence in victory on the faces of Zhao Shengzhen, Zhong Yiming and others. Now, following Yu Qiuli's words, Yang Bo made a general arrangement and explanation on the origin and necessity of this demonstration meeting, as well as the agenda of the whole demonstration meeting: the meeting can be long or short, with one purpose - all parties can speak freely and express their own ideas. Speak out what you understand and express, and both the prosecution and the defense must conduct the meeting successfully in an attitude of being highly responsible to the country and the people. "The speeches at the conference will begin now. First, we invite Comrade Qin Wencai, Vice Minister of Petroleum and in charge of CNOOC's external work, to speak on issues related to the foreign cooperation of the Ministry of Petroleum." Qin Wencai heard the host of the meeting calling his name. This is something that was known in advance.As the main "defendant", Qin Wencai must first make a general speech on behalf of the Ministry of Petroleum.His speech was jointly drafted by several comrades engaged in foreign cooperation, and of course it was read and agreed by the main person in charge of the party group of the Ministry of Petroleum.Even so, Qin Wencai knew that this speech was of extraordinary significance. It not only had to answer the questions of those who called them "traitors", but more importantly, it had to use facts to answer the question of China's oil opening to the outside world advocated by the Party Central Committee and Comrade Deng Xiaoping. The correctness of the decision-making and the work done are fully in line with the interests of the country and the people, and how they are in line with the general laws and practices of international offshore oil development.Qin Wencai is well aware of the responsibility on her shoulders... "Now, I am speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Petroleum." Qin Wencai stood up from his seat, and said these ten words concisely and loudly.At that time, in the eyes of many people, the Ministry of Petroleum was almost synonymous with "stinky shit", but Qin Wencai now wants to eloquently demonstrate the true image of the Ministry of Petroleum of the People's Republic of China through his upright, arrogant tone and objective facts. "... CNOOC's foreign cooperation does not harm China's sovereignty in any way. The size of the contract block is determined by our sovereign state. The sovereignty of the cooperation block will always belong to China!" Qin Wencai said at the beginning of the speech In this case, the answer is the issue of sovereignty over blocks of exploration and development in cooperation with foreign oil companies.This is a positive response to those who say that the Ministry of Petroleum's exploration and development with partner national oil companies according to the division of blocks is a "sell of sovereignty". Afterwards, Qin Wencai made a detailed elaboration on issues such as whether the Chinese party will suffer from the joint exploration and development of offshore oil with foreign companies, the main content of the contract, and specific operations from eight aspects.His long speech, summed up simply: - During the exploration period, regardless of whether commercial oil fields are discovered or not, all exploration costs shall be solely borne by the Japanese side (or other foreign parties); What's wrong with such a good deal?At the venue, some people have already started discussing and exchanging opinions in private. ——The fixed assets formed by investment, purchase and construction of both parties shall ultimately be owned by the Chinese party; Those are things built with other people's money, and some of them must be relatively advanced equipment and equipment. We can get them for less money. This is a cheap deal!Someone applauds gently. ——From the date when the oil field starts commercial production, regardless of the cost or profit, 42.5% of the annual crude oil production will be extracted as the fixed retention fee for the Chinese party; Well, this one has to be carefully studied. Is 42.5% more or less?Listen and talk. —— During the two years when the discovered oil field is completed and put into commercial production, the Chinese party can take over the operation right, and the operating fee will be 15% of the annual output to be covered by the Chinese party; Once a field is discovered, it is important to get back the right to operate.It should be said that this approach is very good. - Within 15 years after the oil field is put into production, Japan can obtain 4.8% of the annual crude oil production as return on investment; 15 years? 4.8%?Is it more or less?However, they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to help us explore and develop, and the risk is very high.If no oil fields are found, all investment will have to be thrown into the sea.It is normal to find an oil field and let others get a certain return, and people come to invest for the purpose of making some money and taking advantage of it!I see no problem with this one! ——Recover the investment and interest of both parties, the annual amount cannot exceed 37.7% of the annual crude oil production; What kind of concept is this again?Oh, it is to use crude oil to compensate the investor's investment and interest, okay!It is because the country is poor and has no money that we find others to cooperate with us!What should be the international practice?Listen, and then ask again. —— During the contract period, the cumulative output of each oil field shall not exceed 85% of the reserves of the entire oil field; the remaining 15% shall be owned by the Chinese party; Well, that's fine.If all the oil in the oil field is exhausted within 15 years of the contract repayment period, it does not mean that it has been developed for others!Setting aside guaranteed reserves is a manifestation of sovereignty.it is good!But is 15% more or less? ——Investment in oilfield construction and development, the investment ratio of China and Japan (foreign parties) is 51%: 49%.In principle, the Chinese investment is provided by the Japanese (foreign) side with low-interest loans.If the Chinese side has its own funds, it does not need the Japanese (foreign) loan. Yeah!Once the oil field construction starts, we are the major shareholders!China is poor now, and if you are poor, you have to give some profits to others.I think these are good practices! No, it's not like those people rumored that it was an act of treason, let alone lost any sovereignty! I didn't believe it from the very beginning, how could the dignified Ministry of Petroleum of the People's Republic be able to make a loss-making business?Besides, each of their projects is approved by the State Council.I can't guarantee if there are any individuals who want to take advantage of foreign companies in cooperation with foreign companies, but whoever wants to say that the people in the Ministry of Petroleum are "traitors" and what they do is "losing sovereignty" and "for the sake of Foreign countries make a lot of money", I wouldn't believe it even if I was killed! "I don't believe it! I think those who make irresponsible remarks have ulterior motives." "Hmph, Deng Xiaoping didn't know who she was just after giving them a good face! Calling others a 'traitor', I don't think she is a good bird!" "Hehehe...be gentle, don't let people hear you." "Did you hear that? I dare to scold her to death in front of her!" While Qin Wencai was making a statement on the stage, there were already people whispering incessantly in the audience.However, looking at the other party is also unambiguous. They (they) looked at Qin Wencai with wide-eyed eyes from time to time, and from time to time they took a pen to "swipe" on the paper, and whispered to each other to encourage each other, and prepared with all their strength. attack…… "Next, I would like to use some specific data and facts to answer the questions raised in the article 'Wei Zongguo' on the Huaqiao Daily. What I want to solemnly declare here is that the articles listed by 'Wei Zongguo' Almost none of his data is in line with the facts, and I can say responsibly that his article is a serious distortion of the objective facts of our CNOOC foreign cooperation work!" The debate has officially begun!After Qin Wencai finished explaining the basic content of the terms of cooperation between China and Japan, he paused for a moment, glanced at the venue with piercing eyes, and then almost got rid of the manuscript, and began his article on the "Wei Zongguo" article in "Huaqiao Daily" A rebuttal—— "First of all, I would like to point out that what Wei Wen said that 'Japan will enjoy 42.5% of oil production within 15 years' is completely untrue. According to the contract, once an oil field is found, we will enjoy 42.5% of the total crude oil production. 42.5% of the fixed retained oil, and 15% of the operating fee lump sum; while the Japanese side only has 4.8% of the remuneration oil. As for the remaining 37% of crude oil, it is clearly written in the contract that the Chinese side is based on the price of the international market It is sold to the Japanese side—in particular, we have obtained the approval of the State Council for this, and at the same time, we have determined that the international oil price is basically rising. It is determined according to the international oil price at the time of oil production. This is both reasonable and generally beneficial to our side. As for why we sold 37% of the crude oil to Japan, we have also clearly stated in the contract that it is As the repayment of the loan and the interest that we need to invest in the construction and development of the oil field. Once the construction investment and interest are repaid, the income from crude oil sales will be completely owned by the Chinese side. On this point, the "Wei Zongguo" The article confuses basic concepts with basic facts." "Secondly, Wei Wenzhong said that 'the ratio of remuneration for oil property rights in the Sino-Japanese agreement is almost as high as 1:1.35'. The text of the contract can tell the truth. Here, I would like to explain to you that according to the contract signed by China and Japan, after deducting the principal, interest and operation of the investment of both parties, the average ratio of the net income of the Chinese side and the Japanese side is 9: 1. If high-yield oil fields are discovered, the ratio can reach 13.9:1; for low-yield oil fields, the ratio can also be maintained at the level of 8.81:1.” "You ask what is the ratio of similar oil cooperation contracts in other countries in the world? I can tell you: it is about 4:1. That is to say, the ratio between the resource country and the investment partner is generally 4:1. Please listen clearly: the average share ratio we signed with Japan is 9:1, which is more than double!" "The third question is: the so-called Japanese side's 'in less than a dozen days, the investment of 700 million US dollars has been fully recovered including principal and interest' mentioned by Wei Wenzhong is even more contrary to the basic facts. According to the contract, the Japanese side Fang's investment in exploration and development in Bohai Bay is far more than 700 million US dollars, and according to the current contract, it will take at least seven years for Japan to recover its basic investment. How can it be possible to recover its investment within ten days? Wei Wen's The statement is not only completely inconsistent with the facts, even in the history of international offshore oil cooperative development, there has never been such a precedent, and it is almost absolutely impossible. I don’t know whether Mr. Wei Zongguo lacks basic common sense in this area, or deliberately fabricated it. Such a fantasy!" "Hehehe—" Qin Wencai heard laughter from below. Suddenly he raised his voice: "The last thing I want to point out is that the article by 'Wei Zongguo' said that after the Japanese side recovers their investment, 'what they will get will be an endless supply of free crude oil, an oil resource worth hundreds of billions of dollars' , which is completely groundless. As for the so-called "100 billion U.S. dollars worth of oil resources", one is that the oil resources will always belong to our host countries; It is equivalent to 7 Daqing oil fields, or there will be two European North Sea oil fields! No matter how optimistic my colleagues and I estimated the Bohai Bay, we never imagined that there might be 7 Daqing oil fields or two North Sea oil fields. Incredibly great discovery!" "Wow—" Qin Wencai finished his speech, and the audience immediately burst into applause. A few people's faces were particularly ugly.Among them was the lady. "Anyone who has objections or questions to Comrade Qin Wencai's speech can raise them freely." Yang Bo cleared his throat and signaled the venue to be quiet.He turned his attention to the "plaintiff" represented by the lady. "I would like to ask: the Ministry of Petroleum has signed an agreement with a foreign company after consulting with different geological departments. Is this beyond the scope of the Ministry of Petroleum's management?" Qin Wencai asked responsibly. "CNOOC's foreign cooperation is a decision of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. The Ministry of Petroleum is only performing its duties as a functional department. Besides, Minister Sun Daguang of the Ministry of Geology knows our work." Qin Wencai stood up and replied. "Are you engaging in the concession system?" Someone else asked. "No." Qin Wencai replied simply, "We are engaged in a risk contract. It is a cooperation model of equality and mutual benefit between China and foreign countries. Moreover, even in the cooperation area, we China reserves the right to drill wells." "For foreign cooperation in the South China Sea, have you discussed with the General Staff?" Someone raised a question of military secrecy. "Yes, not only have we had many communications and consultations with the General Staff, but when the State Council made relevant decisions, comrades from the General Staff attended the meeting." "I heard that foreign companies have their own set of very experienced negotiators and economists. You are all newbies. Can you not suffer from negotiations?" "This comrade is right. Indeed, we deeply feel that we are inexperienced in foreign cooperation, especially some professional legal and clause issues, which sometimes cause headaches, but there are a few points that can ensure that we Less losses and no losses: First, our comrades are open-minded and eager to learn, including our vice premier Comrade Kang Shien, who uses his precepts and deeds to lead us from ignorance to understanding, then to fully understanding and until proficiency;为了避免吃亏，尽量地多选择几种方案进行比较，从中选择更有利于我们的最优方案；三是我们也请了第三方有丰富经验的国际专家帮助我们一起工作；第四点最重要，是我们参与对外合作的同志，他们都是石油部百里挑一的好同志，他们对国家、对党、对我们的人民忠心耿耿，勤劳机智，工作一丝不苟，并且不断总结经验教训，十分注意在实践中进取和提高自己的能力，所以到目前为止，我们把与外国公司所签订的合同给国际上著名的石油公司和专家们看后，他们一致认为我们中方不仅没有吃亏，而且应该说是极有利于我们中方的，属上佳或最佳的方案……” 再一次热烈鼓掌。 “我记得非常清楚，那九天半的时间里，我们不是在五楼的大会议室进行集体论战，就是在下面的小会议室翻阅资料，准备迎接挑战。”现年75岁的邱中健院士站在他的办公室，推开窗户，指着中石油西南方向的那栋楼，给我讲述约三十年前的那次大论战。 “很热闹，有人说我们是卖国贼，很好笑，怎么可能呢？当时从事海洋石油领导工作的一些同志，都是从旧社会过来的人，像余秋里、康世恩和张文彬、秦文彩他们，都是打过仗的人，像我和黄汲清、翁文波这样的旧知识分子，在新中国成立之前，都吃过帝国主义和日本人的苦头，怎么可能做出卖国的事嘛！”93岁的邹明在回忆起那次大论战情景时，依然颇为激动地对我说。 “渤海论证会”，亦称“3·23论证会”，是中国对外开放初期一次规模最大、声势空前、内容广泛的大论战。它涉及到主权问题、经济问题、外交问题、军事问题和劳资问题等等方面，几乎涵盖了与外国企业合作经营的所有内容，是一次为中国全面对外开放作先导的理论与实践的大辩论、大交锋和大总结，正如后来秦文彩和江泽民等同志在向中央财经委领导小组汇报时，中央领导充分肯定的那样：渤海石油勘探开发论证会开得好，很有必要，而且通过这种由多个部门和众多专家参与的集体论证形式，有利于增进对国家大政方针决策的正确性和可操作性。同时，中央再次充分肯定石油部所进行的包括渤海湾在内的海洋石油对外合作项目的进展，总体是好的，对我方是有利的，与外国公司签订的合同没有吃亏。个别合同缺少经验所暴露的不足和缺陷，可以通过其他形式弥补。 让秦文彩和石油人特别欣慰的是，中央再次强调我国海上石油开发与外国公司的合作不仅要继续，而且要坚持下去，甚至可以不断扩大范围。让外国公司有利可图理所当然，不应因此束手束脚，只要有利于加速我国海上石油开发，争取到更多的外国资金和技术，有利于我国四个现代化建设的事，石油部可以放手大胆地干。同时，在与外国合作中，可以充分利用我国的人力和资源国的自身优势，比如在建设服务基地和基地服务工作方面，尽可能地不雇用外国人员，由我们自己来做，争取“肥水”不外流。 中央领导十分肯定论证会上专家们提出的关于加速我国对外合作开发海洋石油的立法建议，给秦文彩留下了深刻印象。他深感对外开放的复杂性和广泛性，同时切身体会到什么是现代化、什么是全球化、什么是国际化…… “秦部长，报告一个好消息：听说那位女士已经被抓起来了！”突然有一天，有人兴高采烈地跑来对秦文彩说。 “哪个？”秦文彩愣了一下，问。 “就是写信告我们是卖国贼的那位女士。中科院的！” “噢——”秦文彩想起来了，“她怎么啦？” “她向外国人出卖情报，被我安全机关抓住了，据说马上要判刑！” 秦文彩轻蔑地“哼”了一声，说：“没想到她骂了我们好一阵卖国贼，最后自己反倒成了真卖国贼！可悲。” “现在想起来，我们真得感谢这位女士，是她挑起的那次大论战，反倒让我们更清醒地认识到对外开放的复杂性和重要性，以及同外国公司合作中必须坚决捍卫的国家利益和法律法规制度建设……”历史已经翻过了许多惊心动魄的岁月往事，当现在的秦文彩再评说起那次大论战和那些辱骂他和石油部是“卖国贼”的人时，已经并不在乎了。不过，我让他再往下说说那些外国公司后来在我海上展开工作的情况时，这位老石油人的脸上顿时愁云涌起，只见他抬起右手，拢了拢满头花白的板寸银丝，长叹一声，说：“人民内部矛盾和各部门、各地区的本位主义，有时也能害死人哟！” "Really?" "Not really."
