Chapter 1145 The most valuable thing is not money, but territory!
Sergey came to Komsomolsk on a passenger plane, not as sneaky as before, and this time he brought a group of people with him.
And the background is not small, as soon as he was introduced, the leader of the team turned out to be Dmitry, the Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology.
But Liu Qingshan's eyes fell on another person.
Liu Qingshan never imagined that he would meet the Great Emperor for the first time at this time and on this occasion.
The Great Emperor is really young now, just in his early forties, although his figure is not that tall and big, but he is very strong.
The current Great Emperor's gaze has already shown its sharpness. When he looked at Liu Qingshan, his eyes have already revealed courage and perseverance.
Liu Qingshan shook hands with Minister Dmitry politely, and then extended his hand to the Emperor: "Hello, Vladimir."
When shaking hands, the emperor's palm was firm and strong. When he shook hands with Liu Qingshan, he was obviously taken aback.
The Great Emperor had undergone rigorous training, and his senses were also very keen. He felt that the young man in front of him might be a master of fighting.
"This is Mr. Liu Qingshan." Sergey introduced beside him.
The Emperor nodded seriously, with a flash of intimacy in his eyes: "Mr. Liu, hello, you are our friend."
During his tenure, he received great assistance from the Katyusha firm, which made his official career smooth. He is currently the director of the General Affairs Bureau of the President's Office.
The rest of the team are mainly accompanying officials of the municipal government on the Gongqingcheng side.
Subsequently, Sergey introduced Katyusha, Ivanov, Jiang Shuichang and others from the firm one by one.
It is obvious that both Mr. Minister and the Emperor are very polite to Katyusha.
On the one hand, it is because she is the nominal general manager of Katyusha's firm, and on the other hand, it is because Katyusha is quite influential in the army because of her grandfather.
Especially now that the two are combined, they can play a huge role.
No matter when money and power are combined, the result is the same.
After the introduction, both parties came to the reception room, sat down and drank tea.
Liu Qingshan also couldn't figure out why the other party came with such a powerful person.
Judging from Dmitry's identity, Liu Qingshan guessed: Did he also come here for oil?
In the reception room, it became very quiet for a while.
Among them, Sergey and Liu Qingshan are relatively familiar, but on this occasion, they can't be too obvious.
Everyone drank tea without embarrassment. After Liu Qingshan took a sip of black tea, he spoke first:
"Mr. Minister Dmitry, Mr. Vladimir, welcome to the Katyusha firm. The two of you are busy with business. If you have any advice, please let me know."
He doesn't like to go around in circles when doing things, and the emperor is also straightforward, so he directly explained the purpose of coming:
"Minister Dmitry and I, entrusted by Mr. President, came to discuss the issue of oil resources in Siberia with the Katyusha firm."
Sure enough, he came here for the oil, Liu Qingshan suddenly knew what he was doing, so he nodded, indicating to the other party to continue.
The oil resources that the Katyusha firm currently controls are mainly in the Siberia region, which is divided into two parts: West Siberia and East Siberia.
The currently proven oil resources are mainly distributed in West Siberia, accounting for about half of the oil reserves of the entire Russian Federation.
Maozi has always been a major exporter of oil, mainly to European countries.
All rely on selling oil to live, and now half of it is left at once. Of course, life is even more difficult. They are eager to get back this cash cow.
So Liu Qingshan has long expected that the government will take some action.
Now it seems that I can't bear it anymore.
Anyway, he has oil in his hands now, and he doesn't panic. He always holds the initiative in his hands, and it depends on what bargaining chips the other party can come up with.
Minister Dmitry also spoke: "Mr. Liu, the Tuva problem has provided us with a good solution."
Liu Qingshan's heart couldn't help but beat faster: Is this time to exchange oil for land?
Oil resources will always be exploited, so in Liu Qingshan's mind, the value of territory is of course greater.
And there is a deeper symbolic meaning. It can be said that the other party's proposal really moved him.
However, his expression remained calm, and he even shook his head slightly: "Mr. Minister, we already have Tuva."
Katyusha also understood: "Oh, gentlemen, we are businessmen, and what we need are commodities, not land."
Actually, for Katyusha, this is indeed true, and she doesn't want to be Catherine III.
Dmitri picked up the tea in embarrassment, took a sip, and then said: "Mr. Liu, maybe you really don't need it, but I think your motherland definitely needs it."
Being a minister, of course, is mentally superior to most people, so Dmitry can understand Liu Qingshan's thoughts.
Because Tuva is the best example, that poor and remote place, the other party wants it, and it costs so much for it, of course there is no reason to refuse this time.
And Dmitry has long been mentally prepared to bargain.
"Okay, then use all the oil wells in Siberia in exchange for the Outer Northeast Region." Liu Qingshan directly opened his mouth like a lion.
Outer northeast region, the territory is large, including the south of the Stanov Mountains, the HLJ River Basin, the Ussuri River Basin, and Sakhalin Island, with a total area of more than one million square kilometers.
Dmitri was stunned when he heard it, and he kept shaking his head: "Mr. Liu, this is impossible. Such a vast land is priceless."
Although he said so, for the current Russian Federation, land is really not the most important thing.
Especially in the Far East, it is too far away from the west, and it is a bit out of reach.
However, this Mr. Liu Qingshan's appetite is really too big. He can open his mouth to cover a territory of millions of square kilometers. This area already exceeds the territory of half of the countries in the world.
And the entire outer northeast region has fertile land, rich forest resources, and is also close to the ocean, so it can be said to be a very rich place.
Liu Qingshan’s words include all the big cities here, including Khabarovsk, Gongqingcheng, etc., which is absolutely impossible.
Next, the two parties spread out the map and began to bargain on the map.
This process is undoubtedly very tormenting, because an inch on the map, enlarged in reality, may represent tens of thousands of square kilometers of land.
Time soon passed noon, and they drank some kvass and ate some bread on the way, and the two sides stayed at the negotiating table.
It was not until the evening that an initial agreement was reached: the Katyusha firm paid all the oil wells in West Siberia, and then got a territory of nearly 200,000 square kilometers south of Khabarovsk and east of the Ussuri River and coastline
If it is on the map, it is to push the easternmost territory of our country all the way to the coastline.
This place is on the side of Maozi, called the Primorsky Krai. Its area is not small at all, it is equivalent to the area of a province, basically equal to the area of the entire Korean Peninsula.
Both parties are quite satisfied with this result.
Dmitry believes that they have obtained the oil and gas resources in West Siberia, which has the most abundant reserves, and this is what they value most, because this area accounts for more than half of the oil reserves of the entire Russian Federation.
The key is that the geographical location is relatively close to the west, which is convenient for transporting oil to Europe.
In the entire Eastern Siberia region, so far, no large-scale oil storage belt has been explored.
This means that they exchanged 200,000 square kilometers of land for all the oil resources controlled by the Katyusha firm.
So in Dmitry's view, this time he made a lot of money.
Similarly, Liu Qingshan also felt that he had made a lot of money. What a blessing that the vast land of 200,000 square kilometers can return to the territory of the motherland?
It was Katyusha who was a little depressed, she felt as if she had lost everything all of a sudden.
Without the support of oil resources, many of her plans may be stranded.
But she did not stop Liu Qingshan, and Katyusha also knew what territory means to a person who loves his motherland deeply.
Put yourself in her shoes, and she would pay any price for it.
Of course, that is Liu Qingshan's motherland, not hers.
But Katyusha kept hinting to herself in her heart: that piece of territory was originally occupied by force more than a hundred years ago, so let’s return it now...
Negotiations made both parties a little exhausted, so after a hasty dinner, Dmitry and his party were accompanied by city government officials and went to the guest house to rest.
Liu Qingshan was so excited that he couldn't sleep, looking at the map on the table, he couldn't help laughing.
"Boss, you are awesome, you are really awesome, this can be compared with Guo Xingye's recovery of Treasure Island back then!"
Old Jiang looked at Liu Qingshan with eyes full of admiration. As a former soldier and border guard, he naturally has a deeper affection for the territory.
Hehehe, Li Tieniu was also giggling all the time: "Little brother, let's keep it to ourselves this time?"
Katyusha is more realistic: "Liu, the oil is gone, how do you explain to these partners?"
You must know that the oil resources controlled by Katyusha Trading Company do not belong to Liu Qingshan. Originally, he was indeed the largest shareholder, accounting for more than half of the shares.
But in order to take back Tuva, Liu Qingshan distributed most of the shares in his hands to other shareholders.
Now it’s even simpler, there’s nothing left, only a piece of land left.
I really don't know how much money Liu Qingshan needs to spend to compensate the losses of other shareholders.
This is definitely hundreds of billions or even trillions of funds. Liu Qingshan's current wealth on the Forbes list is just over 20 billion US dollars, not even a fraction.
After hearing what Katyusha said, Li Tieniu and others remembered this.
Old Jiang Kaba stared for a long time: "Boss, this time you are really a veritable billionaire."
Liu Qingshan didn't care, he looked around for a week, and then said very firmly:
"In this world, the most valuable thing is not money, but territory!"
