However, after a few days, the results of the initial contacts were not encouraging.

"So, in other words, most of the giants want at least 50% of the oilfield shares?" Qi Zheng looked at Liam's negotiation record unhappily.

Liam, the handsome young lawyer, looked a little ugly and nodded in confirmation.

In the past few days, he has been in non-stop contact with representatives of a number of medium-sized and above oil companies, but the conditions given by each of them are not ideal. Even he didn't feel satisfied with it himself, let alone make Qi Zheng satisfied.

From the news to the present, thoughtful oil companies have roughly figured out the origin and strength of Qi Zheng, and the cooperation plans provided are basically the same, tacitly using hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and a very small number of shares to invest in Qi Zheng's oil fields, and at least occupy 50% of the shares. However, they are responsible for the production, management and sales after that, and Qi Zheng can just sit back and wait for the dividends.

According to their plan, Qi Zheng will definitely suffer a big loss.

As mentioned earlier, the recoverable reserves of the new oil field are as high as 300 million barrels, and the extraction cost of this oil field will never exceed 5 US dollars per barrel, so the total cost of exploiting this oil field is about 1.5 billion US dollars.

Of course, this is the result of Qi Zheng's "pressurization" of the oil field with the spirit array, and it is not the real reserves. But on the surface, no one knows.

However, according to the superficial estimate, although with the continuous exploitation of the oilfield, because of the decrease in the pressure in the oilfield, it is certainly impossible to keep the oil well in a self-injection state in the end, and it is inevitable to use a pumping unit to pump oil, which will cause the cost to rise.

But even then, if averaged, the total cost of extracting the field would not be more than $2 billion.

However, based on current oil prices and recoverable reserves, the total value of the field is about $7.5 billion, and after deducting production costs, taxes and other operating costs, the net profit from this field is definitely more than $2 billion.

As a result, it doesn't seem too much for the oil majors to exchange $700 to $800 million worth of cash plus shares for more than 50 percent of the oil fields. After all, Qi Zheng and they want to catch the big ship of the giants, and some payment is also necessary.

But in fact, if he agrees to this plan, then Qi Zheng will be pitted to vomit blood.

Quite simply, even laymen know that international oil prices obviously cannot remain so low.

Once the international oil price recovers, although the stock prices of the oil giants will also rise, the overall value of this oil field will definitely increase far more than the stock price. At that time, even if the international oil price rose by $20 per barrel, the value of the entire oil field would basically double.

In fact, in Qi Zheng's memory, in another two years, international oil prices will rise steadily, reaching more than $140 per barrel at the peak, more than five times the current oil price.

At that time, the current agreement looks like a loss to Grandma's family.

As for the plans of other small oil companies that are willing to take a majority stake in Qi Zheng's oil fields, or some investors to provide funds to Qi Zheng's own development, it is purely a matter of taking advantage of it, and Qi Zheng basically does not consider it.

Zhang Zehong's face was also unhappy, and anyone who was forced to suffer a loss would not feel good in his heart.

Coupled with the fact that he received some disgusting news, it was even more unpleasant.

He added to Qi Zheng: "In addition, the rancher has a moth again. He asked Captain Carson to raise the price of the land and claimed that the oil gushing had caused a serious pollution problem on his ranch and that we should give him an explanation or he would sue us. ”

Qi Zheng laughed angrily when he heard this, "It seems that we are really a mouth-watering piece of fat now, and everyone wants to come up and take a bite." ”

The rancher Brayden sat on the ground and the price was something Qi Zheng could imagine, but his greed was still beyond Qi Zheng's imagination.

Qi Zheng turned his head and said to the lawyer: "Liam, this matter is left to you, don't worry about Braydon's lion opening his mouth, you just drag it out, and there will be a chance to teach him a lesson later." ”

The young lawyer shrugged, "Leave the matter to me." ”

......

As for finding a collaborator, Qi Zheng thought for a moment, knocked on the table, attracted the attention of the two, and then said slowly: "Since those giants think that they have settled on us, let's sell the oil field as a whole." ”

"Hiss......" Zhang Zehong and Liam didn't expect Qi Zheng to make such a decision, and they were both shocked and gasped for a while.

Well, this is a surrender?

"Third child, ...... you" Zhang Zehong was so anxious that he even flew out of his Chinese.

Qi Zheng waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Zehong's questioning, "Don't worry, I'll explain to you later." ”

Then he turned around and looked at Liam, who was stunned, his eyes sharp and sharp.

"Liam, don't doubt my resolve. Your next performance will determine the height of your career. I hope that you will give all your strength and carry out my will with all your might. ”

"Find one or more oil companies, and I'll sell all the oil fields as you like, but I only need cash, and I don't accept shares in their companies. ”

"I will fully cooperate with your firm and authorize you to form a negotiation team with full authority to negotiate on my behalf. My bottom line is $1.4 billion, and if you exceed that bottom line, you will get 10 percent of the share, and how much you can gain depends on your ability. ”

"I only have two requirements, the funds arrive as soon as possible, and our information must be kept confidential throughout the process. The rest, you're up to you. ”

"So, Liam, tell me, do you have the determination?"

To form a negotiation team, at least relevant technical personnel, business personnel, legal personnel, and financial personnel are needed, and Qi Zheng does not have relevant trusted personnel in the United States, so Qi Zheng simply gave up certain interests and entrusted this task to the firm behind Liam.

Relatively speaking, their ethics deserve a certain amount of trust.

Don't say that lawyers will only be responsible for legal work, as long as there are enough interests to drive, the energy that these guys burst out, you can't imagine at all.

Liam was momentarily overwhelmed by Qi Zheng's boldness, and was able to decisively choose to let go when it seemed that he was not without a fight, and at the same time used the most crisp and crisp means to draw Baker McKenzie into his camp - he dared to assure God that the firm would do everything in its power to do so.

Liam naturally did not feel that Qi Zheng chose to make this decision because he was afraid of the difficulties.

After this period of getting along, he was sure that the young man in front of him, who was only five or six years younger than him, was the kind of elite who adhered to principles and was decisive in killing. This kind of person, at critical moments, has always been the most open-minded.

He came back to his senses and did not respond in one bite, but replied cautiously: "Mr. Qi, I want to go back and communicate with the headquarters about your request." But personally, you don't need to doubt my determination. ”

Qi Zheng instead appreciated his prudence and nodded, "I understand, please give me an answer as soon as possible." ”

With that said, Liam was ready to go back and report the momentous change.

He has decided that he will do whatever it takes to push forward with this transaction - as long as he thinks that success may bring tens of millions of dollars to the firm, he seems to see the position of the firm's partner beckoning to him from afar.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask Qi Zheng: "Mr. Qi decided like this, aren't you afraid of regretting your future losses?"

In this regard, Qi Zheng wrote lightly: "Only the interests in your hands are called interests." Besides, if I was given the same amount of time, I would earn far more than the points I lost. ”

Liam was deeply impressed by Qi Zheng's faint domineering, and he leaned down slightly to Qi Zheng to show his respect before leaving.

......

Although Zhang Zehong was convinced by Qi Zheng's unique performance.

But that's not the point now, as soon as Liam left, he couldn't wait to ask: "Third brother, why did you sell all the oil fields?

Although Zhang Zehong does not know that the oil price will rise several times in the future, he also believes that the current oil price is abnormal, and he can undoubtedly get higher returns by staying and developing it slowly.

Qi Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Boss, have you forgotten our original intention?"

"The original intention?" Zhang Zehong was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't react for a while.

"Yes, we came to the U.S. for the first time. ”

Zhang Zehong remembered that the purpose of their coming to the United States was to set up a farm, and they planned to take advantage of the expansion of the organic food market in the United States to get a piece of the pie. Then, how can it be so busy that it becomes the development of oil?

Zhang Zehong came back to his senses, thought about it for a while, and then glared at Qi Zheng angrily and said: "Damn, didn't you kid go astray from the beginning? Obviously he just wanted to buy a small farm, but it turned out to be an oil well, why is it on my head now?"

Qi Zheng couldn't help but smile and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Then he explained: "You see, our main business is agriculture, and it was purely a coincidence that we were able to get an oil field (which is not). But we can't spend too much energy on oil development, especially in the territory of the United States, which is far away, and we don't have the energy to do both. ”

"Besides, as the successor of socialism, how can digging up the earth and repairing the earth better reflect the advanced nature of our class?"

Wori, aren't you just a kind of land, saying it so freshly and refinedly, Zhang Zehong was simply laughed at angrily.

But after laughing, he still felt unwilling, "However, we keep a part of the shares of the oil field for appreciation, and it will not affect the main business." ”

Qi Zheng said patiently: "Theoretically, this is the case, but how can the old and beautiful giant crocodiles be so easy to get along with? Believe it or not, when they taste the delicious benefits, we will be kicked out of the game in a minute." ”

"But...... But ......" Zhang Zehong didn't understand this truth, but he was unwilling after all.

A whole big cake is placed in front of me, and I can only touch a small piece of it, and I give most of it to others, and it hurts to think about it.

Wouldn't it be better to keep a mine at home?

Qi Zheng can understand Zhang Zehong's feelings, he doesn't know that the real reserves of the oil field have been "processed", and seeing that such a large piece of interest is going to be given away in vain, he naturally can't accept it calmly in a short time.

"Besides, when have you ever seen me suffer?" Qi Zheng smiled meaningfully.

Zhang Zehong thought about it, Qi Zheng has never been a person who is willing to suffer easily, so ......

"You mean, there's a problem with the oil fields?"

Qi Zheng smiled very reservedly, "I can only say that there is always a risk. Well, it doesn't feel good anyway. ”

"Anyway, we will get the real benefits in our hands, and let the risks be borne by the giant crocodile who wants to take advantage, our small body is not suitable for wading in this kind of troubled water. ”

Zhang Zehong rolled his eyes, it was this almighty "feeling" again, he was a serious college student, could he still talk about science?

His mind was disturbed for a while, and he finally stopped dwelling on the interests of letting him out.

Forget it, anyway, with Qi Zheng's consistent performance, he really refuses to suffer. Even if there is a cat in it, in case there is an ear next door, I should not know it.

But then......

"Wouldn't we be able to build a few big farms in Lao Mei if we wanted to?" Zhang Zehong said excitedly.

"There is no doubt that we can exchange Lao Meijia's mine for Lao Meijia's land. Qi Zheng thought about it and felt that this operation was quite exciting.

......
