One of his assistants asked in a low voice, "Could this Huaxia man be cheating?"

Manager Charles shook his head and smiled: "No, no, the panic when they left shows that they are real." They already know the danger. ”

The assistant was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Didn't Mary's words just now remind them that these greedy Russians do not hate us Westerners?

The girl's face changed drastically, and she looked at her immediate boss with a little trepidation.

Manager Charles smiled at the assistant and asked, "You mean that the Huaxia people will raise the bidding price because of this?"

The assistant said, "It's possible." ”

Manager Charles looked at the girl with a smile and said, "Miss Mary, you don't have to worry, don't be upset about what you said and did in the bar just now, don't worry, they won't." In my opinion, they already know that you are there to find out. They will report everything you say to their leadership. ”

When the girl heard this, she became even more anxious, and said, "Manager, wouldn't that be ......?"

Manager Charles shook his head and said, "Trust me, they won't." If you think about it, Huaxia Energy Trading Co., Ltd. is a small company? No, even if it is small, it is a big company when tied to East-JM Investments. A large company, just like our BP company, must have a negotiation strategy and plan that has been determined, can it be easily changed? Can it be changed by a small salesman? You should know that if this quotation is changed, even if it is only changed by one cent, it will involve millions of dollars in transactions. Moreover, when his opinion is reported, the company's advisory group must seriously discuss and overturn the arguments and arguments of the original plan, is this possible?"

Looking at the assistant a little disapproving, Manager Charles said: "Miss Mary said that Russians don't hate us Westerners, and the salesman on the other side is likely to look at Mary's beauty and agree with her, and the change in her heart also happened because of her beauty, but her heart may not agree, at least not so quickly, not completely." In the eyes of the Chinese people, the Russians at this time naturally have a close relationship with the Chinese, because their social system was the same before, and after the disintegration, Russia's economy plummeted, and it was worse than before the disintegration, so everyone should be wary of us Westerners and hate us Westerners. This is one of them. ”

Manager Charles said with a smile: "Second, the Huaxia people not only have the ability to control Baskille Oil Company and Luke Oil Company, so that they can force them to sell the oil fields now, but also the Huaxia people also have the ability to control the people who take over these oil fields." In other words, they know that even if this oil field is bought by our British BP company or by the Japanese company Keyang Petroleum Co., Ltd., in the end, they will have to be persuaded to give them money and benefits, so that they will allow our exploration team and drilling team to come in smoothly, and the railway will be unblocked for us, and only if they agree, can our crude oil be transported out smoothly. And these can be turned into our costs, which means that our costs are not what they appear to be. ”

Manager Charles looked at the assistant and asked, "Since there are these additional costs, we don't dare to increase the bidding price at will." What's more, they also got a private promise from the Russians?"

The assistant suddenly realized and said, "Yes." The Chinese people hold so many cards from us, we really dare not rashly raise the price. The price has been raised too much, and we can only lose money and not make a profit when we buy the oil field. ”

Manager Charles smiled: "There is another reason, that is, they did not know that we would fully cooperate with Japan's Keyo Oil Co., Ltd. They didn't know that their strength had forced our two companies to get closer. ”

The girl asked a little worriedly: "Manager, what if we bid for it, and the Huaxia people are angry and don't let our exploration team come in, that is, they don't let our drilling team bring in equipment, and they don't let our crude oil sell?"

Manager Charles smiled: "Is it possible? When it snows heavily and they have a lot of equipment and materials to transport, they can pay the officials of the railway department to only transport their equipment and not other companies' equipment, which we can all understand, after all, we have also done these things." However, now that their equipment and personnel have been transported, and they have built oil pipelines, do they still dare to occupy the entire railway? Can they occupy it? If the railway department is not allowed to make money, will the railway department be obedient? How can we be obedient and obedient people, as long as the media say a little, they will not be able to stop it. Now, we're just giving them the illusion that they can still control the railroad, hahaha......"

The assistant asked playfully, "Can we lower the price a little bit from the last bid?"

Charles shook his head and said: "It can be reduced a little, but not too much, lest those guys in Huaxia fill in the wrong price." ”

When Manager Charles was laughing, Jiang Xinwei was also laughing.

He turned to Wang Jindong and asked, "What is the highest price for Japan's Keyang Oil Co., Ltd. to acquire an oil field recently?"

Wang replied: "It was a transaction that was generated in Venezuela at a price of $4.93 a barrel. The highest price traded by British BP in Chile was $4.97 a barrel. Of course, this is all a combination of evidence that we have heard and gathered. At the time of the bidding, they did not have this data for a barrel of crude oil, only a total amount. ”

Jiang Xinxu nodded and said, "Then do a good job of bidding." Leave the last data, this number is controlled by me. I'd like to see who has the last laugh. ”

Two days later, the media gathered at the Youth Hotel in Barabinsk to participate in the oil field auction held by Bathskill and Lukoil.

After some simple ceremonies, the general manager of the Bathskill Petroleum Company announced the opening of the bid, and at the same time he proudly looked at Wang Jindong, who had the sign of "Huaxia Energy Trading Co., Ltd." erected in front of the table, and then looked at the cameras of the major television stations.

A CNN TV reporter asked loudly: "Mr. General Manager, will this bidding be conducted openly, justly, and fairly?"

The general manager smiled and said, "Of course, in the face of so many media, it is impossible for us to operate privately, isn't it?"

Many people laughed, but the most laughing were naturally Miura Nagakura of Japan's Keyo Oil Co., Ltd., and Charles Manager of BP in the United Kingdom.

Wang Jindong also laughed, but the smile was very small, and he looked at Miura Kakura with a sarcastic look: "I don't know why you laugh." ”

Seeing Wang Jindong's ridicule, Miura Kamakura lowered his head and asked in Chinese: "Manager Wang, do you still believe in the private promise of these Russians?"
