Chapter 105 Petroleum Exploration Contracts
As a person from COSCO, it is indeed not suitable to talk more deeply with Gu Kun on this issue.
The reason why Gu Kun chatted with them first was that the main purpose was to sell more favors if he could sell more.
After all, he has been dragging on the matter of the "Isakov" for so long, and he has reaped so many benefits from eating and wiping it off, and he is only now cashing it out.
To prevent large customers from having a bad heart, it is a very common way to do business by giving a small gift to maintain customer relationships after postponing the performance.
If Gu Kun personally came to the door and took the initiative to ask CNOOC for cooperation, not only would the other party's attention be relatively low, but it would also be a waste of a matchmaker.
Now, if this is the case, I can let CNOOC know: I only cooperated with you CNOOC for the sake of my friendship with COSCO, otherwise I can go to Shell!
I believe that the effect of this favor can last for many years, and as long as He Lan and Boss Ye are still in relevant positions in the future, COSCO will definitely repay Gu Kun all year round in the business of Lanfang Port and Lanfang Tourism.
However, because they can't see the real oil for the time being, He Lan and Boss Ye still can't understand how much potential Gu Kun will show in the future with this favor that Gu Kun has given them.
At this moment, He Lan still felt that Gu Kun was using her, not helping her.
"This kind of drudgery, only I have the cheekiness to help you contact you. She sighed in a low voice and expressed her willingness to inquire about the preliminary cooperation price for Gu Kun, such as whether there is oil on the seabed in one square nautical mile, and how much exploration fee needs to be charged.
In view of the other party's attitude, Gu Kun certainly didn't want to be unable to give full play to his favor, so he had to remind:
"Manager He, Mr. Ye, please pay attention to a problem. Even if Lan Fang didn't discover the oil field, I think this matter is also beneficial to you and CNOOC, and your current attitude really disappoints me a little. ”
"It's also a favor to make some hard-earned money?" He Lan subconsciously retorted.
She was familiar with oil companies, but not with the exploration business, so she couldn't understand it.
Gu Kun could only give them illiteracy: "Manager He, it seems that you don't know much about the overseas oil exploration market pattern. Mobil and Shell, many countries around the world have divided spheres of influence, and they have a whole set of unfair competition methods of coercion and inducement to exclude other opponents.
Especially for those small enterprises that want to collect exploration fees instead of taking a commission according to the exploration ratio, Shell has more than a dozen ways to manipulate the other party's violations and obstruct them. And the oil exploration market in Southeast Asia was almost forbidden by Shell before, and you can't get in.
Now, we in the blue side took advantage of the golden opportunity of the war with Soros to pretend to ask Shell to explore and falsify, but Shell was unwilling to accept this order because of the same heart as Soros, so you CNOOC took it, so Shell has no position to obstruct it - at best, they are just watching from the sidelines and waiting to see the jokes, and after your 'fake news' report comes out, they will use their professional knowledge and reactionary academic authority to suppress and expose you.
But in any case, you have allowed CNOOC to enter the Southeast Asian oil exploration market rarely, even if the last drop of oil is not found, this political achievement of going to sea to break zero is enough for the relevant undertaker to blow for a lifetime, after all, this is the first shot to break the seabed oil barrier in Southeast Asia, and the symbolic significance is extremely significant. ”
After hearing this, the people on COSCO suddenly changed color, and after thinking about it slightly, they had to admit that what Gu Kun said made sense.
In fact, even if Gu Kun didn't make these words clear, there would be no substantial loss to him.
But Gu Kun's greedy temperament, of course, hopes that every favor he sells will be fully interpreted and let the person who appreciates it receive it several more times.
It's not enough to eat one fish and two eats, it's better to eat three fish and four fish. The so-called mosquito scrapes the meat on the legs, and the oil must be grabbed when a toad is caught.
Jade hope makes people young, and greed makes people motivated.
He Lan pondered for a moment, and immediately thought of a question, and asked rhetorically: "So, you have secretly looked for Shell people before?" I thought that you had always hated the Bretons. ”
Gu Kun smiled: "Of course I hate the Bretons, but that doesn't mean I won't look for Shell - who made me sure that Shell would reject me?"
"You know Shell will reject you?" He Lan didn't understand the joint for a moment.
"Quite simply, I know too well the national inferiority of the Bretons. If you want to say that the most up-and-coming country in the world has developed a nation, the Bretons are definitely the first.
Oceanians just like to be mercenary, but they don't bother to deliberately harm others and suppress themselves, because Oceanians are world hegemons, and they have this self-confidence.
The Breton people are the overlords of the declining mountains and the water dogs that everyone shouts and beats, so they have low self-esteem in their hearts and like to do things that harm others and are not beneficial to themselves, just to develop the country after suppression. Just like in World War II, even if they knew that they would definitely give up their world hegemony, they would continue to be dogs for Oceania to maintain their consistent 'balance of power strategy'.
From the time each colony was driven out, they were eager to see the colony permanently impoverished and backward, whether it was digging pits and burying mines during the partition of India and Pakistan, killing tens of millions of people, or something else, it was always the same logic.
As a result, in the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the Bretons were actually more pro-Soros than the Oceanic people, and the Bretons simply wanted to see that 'after the independence of the Southeast Asian colonies, they will only develop more and more backward' to prove their superiority and prove that their so-called 'colonization brought civilization to the local barbarians'.
Soros went to university at the Faculty of Economics, and the Bretons always put gold on their faces, and every time Soros hypocritically stated that he was a philosopher and not an investor, and that he was only investing to prove that his philosophical ideas were correct, the Bretons would jump out and preach that this was the philosophy of the Breton system, the philosophy of the Breton philosopher, the Breton philosopher.
This time, I made it clear that I was seeking exploration for the sake of 'creating fake news', and since the Bretons felt that there was not much to be gained in this, they did not bother to 'help me' for a small amount of exploration fees. After weighing up, Shell must have felt that it was more valuable to let the free market philosophy of cloth teach mankind a lesson in Southeast Asia and reflect the superiority of Brittany than to make a little bit of piecework exploration fees. I pretended to beg them to make it easier for them to be gagged in the future, so that CNOOC's entry did not look like a 'Shell business'. ”
CNOOC's entry into Shell's sphere of influence to grab business is completely different from "Shell actively looks down on this small business, refuses to do it, and then CNOOC comes to pick up the leaks" is completely different in nature on the issue of dividing the sphere of influence of international oil.
Oil is a business that can easily lead to war, and many Western arms giants advocate killing people and setting fires for the sake of oil.
Therefore, Gu Kun must do his preliminary homework tightly and foolproofly, so that he can fight his way out of the cracks and push this matter forward.
In other words, don't think that it is easy for a small country to extract oil on its own soil, which undoubtedly belongs to its own country.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
If Gu Kun had not been gagged and the risks at the level of international relations had been completely leveled out in early warning, and a ruler who only had oil and no brains had acted recklessly, his country would have become a second Iraq or Sudan long ago.
Therefore, even if he sees Gu Kun making a lot of money in the future, there is nothing to envy.
This is what his insidious professional sense of international relations deserves to the extreme.
From this point of view, he should also thank Soros for confronting him and creating this opportunity.
In the past, Huahai Oil Co., Ltd., and Shell in the back, all aspects of the interests were unconsciously settled in this smoke bomb, and there is no excuse for regretting it in the future.
……
Feeling Gu Kun's foresight, He Lan and the others also fully learned a lot of words that were beneficial to themselves from Gu Kun.
Then he went back to China, and involuntarily found the senior management of CNOOC according to Gu Kun's analysis, stated the interests and disadvantages, aroused the interest of CNOOC to enter the bureau, and also got a vote for "opening up important overseas markets for brother units" in vain.
It is said that COSCO, Boss Ye's only remaining boss also praised Boss Ye's performance after taking up his new post at the headquarters, which further consolidated Boss Ye's bargaining chips in the future.
He Lan was also slightly commended by various channels, and Gu Kun didn't know the specifics, and he didn't dare to ask, so there was no need to mention it anyway.
Then, Huahaiyou hurriedly quoted a price to Gu Kun.
Their choice was really similar to what He Lan thought at the beginning, and they tended to charge according to the amount of piecework.
"For the exploration of oil reserves in shallow sea areas, the exploration fee shall be charged at 50,000 yuan per square nautical mile if the depth of the well is guaranteed to be less than 1,200 meters.
If you choose to divide into cooperation mode, it will be charged according to 10%~15% of the proven reserves, depending on the depth of the final discovered oil layer, see supplementary provisions for details......"
The quotation of CNOOC is still relatively professional and meticulous, and the price is calculated separately according to the depth of the guaranteed oil layer.
This is also a common practice in the field of international oil exploration.
Many laymen may think that "is there oil under this land" is a simple question of choosing one or the other. But not really.
Because if there is oil in many places, the key depends on the cost of extraction. Nowadays, the international oil price is less than 40 US dollars a barrel, and the oil that is slightly more difficult in terms of geology cannot be drawn, and the extraction cost may be higher than the oil price.
That's why, before the 21st century, the Lucians didn't exploit much oil in the permafrost of Siberia, because the oil was too cheap to exploit the difficult ones.
At the end of the 90s, CNOOC's technical strength was far less powerful than that of later generations, so they did not have the technical strength to guarantee the deep seabed formations.
