Chapter 568: Everyone's Questioning

……

In fact, even Petrobras and Petrobras have surprised Unocal's dedication to the deep-water block.

But in any case, some people are willing to contribute to the exploration and development of Petrobras, and they are eager to see it.

After a minute, when there were no new competitors, Roberto Muric spoke: "Congratulations to Unocal Oil for obtaining the exploration and development rights of Block 15. ”

“… At this point, the sixth round of deep-sea oil exploration bidding of Petrobras has ended, and all 15 oil exploration blocks have been auctioned, thank you!"

After a round of applause, "In order to express our gratitude and to celebrate the successful completion of today's oil bid, we have a special dinner at the Sofitel Ipanema tonight to entertain all the distinguished guests, please be sure to come before 7 p.m. ”

At this point, today's oil tender is officially over. The crowd packed up their things and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Guo, I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about the exploration blocks in the ultra-deep sea area, and you actually ate all the three blocks 13, 14 and 15. ”

Looking at John Watson who came over, Guo Shouyun felt for the first time that this guy was quite annoying in addition to being shrewd and wise and thoughtful.

However, years of experience in shopping malls have made Guo Shouyun a deep city, and his mood is invisible.

"If I had Mr. Watson's courage and Chevron Texaco's financial resources and connections, I would have won Block 6 a long time ago, so why try my luck by winning three ultra-deepwater blocks?!"

"Unocal has just raised nearly 15 billion yuan, and in terms of financial resources, you are much stronger than Chevront Texaco. Moreover, I don't think Mr. Guo is trying his luck. ”

Facing the other party's gaze staring at him tightly, Guo Shouyun smiled faintly.

Unocal's financing is purpose-built, and only $200 million has been allocated to Petrobras' bid. As for the bidding for the three ultra-deep-sea blocks, if it weren't for luck, I believe that with Chevrontexaco's connections in Brazil, we would have gotten the information long ago. ”

After a pause, "Mr. Watson, take your leave." ”

"Wait a minute, please. … Will Mr. Guo still attend the dinner in the evening?"

After a brief consideration, Guo Shouyun nodded.

"Of course, you can't live up to the hospitality of your host. ”

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to meeting Mr. Guo in the evening. ”

"Thank you and goodbye. ”

"Goodbye!"

Looking at the other party's distant back, the smile on John Watson's face slowly disappeared, and his brows gradually furrowed. Despite numerous evidences proving that Unocal's bid for the ultra-deep-sea block was just a stroke of chance. But his instincts always remind him that there is a fog behind this that he doesn't know.

However, it goes straight to intuition. He can't rely on his instincts to convince the company's top brass to invest in a huge ultra-deepwater block in Brazil, where there is little hope of investing.

……

After taking Unocal employees out of the Rio de Janeiro City Hall, except for Matthew, Wu Xiaojing, Wang Jue's two personal assistants, and Rebecca Mark, the rest of the people were all driven to another car by him.

"You'll be in charge of the payment and formalities. ”

"Yes!"

"Has the company's exploration equipment arrived?"

"We have three semi-submersible rigs and six survey vessels in place to get to the port of Rio de Janeiro the day after tomorrow. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded. One exploration block, this is what he specially explained. The aim is to slow down exploration. The reason is simple: Brazil's pre-salt oil is the biggest oil treasure of the 21st century, excluding the shale oil revolution. He wants to try to buy all the pre-salt oil development blocks auctioned by Petrobras in the next few years.

In addition to reducing competition and having more pre-salt oil resources at a lower price, we should also do our best to amplify the possibilities of the Tupi oil field in our own hands.

In the future, when the Tubi field was discovered in late 2006, it is still unknown whether there are any of the three deep-sea blocks he now owns.

"Boss, isn't three rigs too little? After all, we have won three blocks, and they are the largest of all the auction blocks. Although Rebecca had already been persuaded, she couldn't help but speak again.

"We have three years of exploration, three rigs are enough, and when we win the block, we commit to at least 40% localization. Unocal does not have enough personnel and base in Brazil like ExxonMobil, BP, and Shell. If we develop too quickly, we're going to have to pull people from the U.S. or Asia, so how can we deliver on our promises?"

Hearing this, Rebecca Mark nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Jingle bell...!"

At this moment, Guo Shouyun's mobile phone suddenly rang.

After glancing at the caller ID and signaling Rebecca to be quiet, Guo Shouyun pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Kennedy, how do you have time to call me?"

"A friend just called and said that you led Unocal to win all three ultra-deepwater blocks in the Petrobras bid?"

After answering, "Mr. Kennedy is really well-informed, I just came out of the city hall in Rio de Janeiro, and you know it." ”

"Bruce, I think it's not just me, your old father-in-law, Bush and Morgan, and the Carlyle Group and Blackstone. They must have wanted to know the reason from you, too, and I just inadvertently got ahead of them and gave you the first call. ”

Guo Shouyun smiled, "Then what is the reason for you to make this call? It won't be to congratulate me on not returning empty-handed, and you got three blocks, right?"

"Bruce, do you know why?"

"Okay! No kidding, the reason I won those three unpromising ultra-deep-sea exploration blocks wasn't because I knew something in advance. It's just my gut telling me that Unocal should take them. ”

"Intuition?"

"That's right!"

"Bruce, you should understand that no one is going to throw out nearly two hundred million dollars for the sake of intuition!" said Edward Kennedy, although his tone was calm, but this happened to reveal that he was already angry in his heart. But it's understandable. He is also a shareholder of Unocal now, and the company also has a part of him, so he naturally does not want to see the money that originally belonged to him being used by Guo Shouyun.

"Mr. Kennedy, many people know that I have a high winning rate in the capital markets, and in addition to my expertise, I rely on my intuition. I trust my instincts, so please don't doubt it too!"

The Kennedy family is certainly a behemoth, but the current Guo Shouyun is not a soft persimmon. In addition, after so many years in the United States, he deeply understands a truth. If you don't resist when others oppress you, then you will gradually lose your status and become a puppet.

Although Guo Shouyun does not mind dividing the shares of Unocal to deepen the company's contacts, and by the way, strive for more resources to develop himself. But he didn't want to become a puppet of these big families because of this.

"Okay. Since you trust your instincts, I also hope that the end result will be acceptable to everyone. ”

"Of course. … Mr. Kennedy, at Unocal I have the largest shares. If there's anyone who doesn't want it to fall, I guess that person must be me. Also, I can assure you that when my harvest in Brazil is revealed, you will personally rush to San Francisco to take off my hat and salute me!" Guo Shouyun said with great confidence.

"I'm waiting for that day to come. ”

"I don't think you'll have to wait long. ”

After hanging up the phone, looking at the few pairs of inquiring eyes around him, Guo Shouyun said indifferently: "Edward Kennedy called!"

Rebecca Mark's face changed, she knew better than Wu Xiaojing and Wang Jue, two foreigners, about the huge influence of this family in the United States!

"You just...?"

"Don't worry, this old guy is still counting on me to make money for him, it's not so easy to get angry!" Guo Shouyun said.

"Bell bell...!"

Soon his phone rang again.

Looking at the label of 'Old Morgan' on the caller ID, Guo Shouyun smiled faintly.

"These people can't wait. ”

Everything that followed, as Edward Kennedy said, Morgan, Bush, Roosevelt, the Carlyle Group, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, these families and groups that injected capital into Unocal last time, all called back and forth.

The questions asked were similar, all about why he wanted to take three exploration blocks in the ultra-deep waters.

The thing about rebirth must not be said, so intuition becomes the best excuse.

Fortunately, Guo Shouyun often uses this to block debts, and now he is experienced, and in the context of his repeated incredible successes, he has a little credibility. So, although there were many skeptics, they still died down in the end.

However, Guo Shouyun also understood that this time he appeased these people. But when he bids for the next round of Petrobras tenders for the ultra-deep-sea block, they are not so convincing.

After pondering for a moment, "Rebecca, all the money from the last financing is deposited in the account of Phoenix Bank?"

"Yes!"

"I'm going to set aside $2 billion for you, and I'm going to do an asset management plan for the rest. ”

Kennedy, Morgan, Roosevelt, all they wanted was profit. Since they will not be satisfied in the exploration of Petrobras for a while, they can only make up for it elsewhere if they want to keep their mouths shut and continue to take the ultra-deepwater exploration blocks that are not expected to be favored by the outside world.

At present, it seems that the most suitable is the capital market. With gold and oil rising by more than 20% per year, he is confident that Unocal's net income ratio will exceed that of all oil companies in the world, even if he does not use leverage for the long term.
