Now the labor cost in Huaxia is really low, about one-thirtieth of the developed countries, that is, the salary of a worker hired by a foreign company, nearly 30 workers can be hired in Huaxia, and there are many skilled workers in it, because the salary of Huaxia workers is generally not much different, and the salary of engineers is not much higher than that of ordinary workers.

In addition to the cheap labor cost, the cost of consumables is also relatively low, unless all these consumables are purchased abroad.

In this way, if the oil wells with the same contract price are drilled by the Huaxia exploration team, the profits will naturally be much higher.

Seeing that Jiang Xinwei didn't speak, Tu Zheng continued: "In addition, we have another advantage. As you know, our workers are hard-working and not very particular about food. Working overtime is also commonplace, and it is not limited to eight hours a day, nor does it have to take a day off a week. …… It takes three or four months for others to drill a well, but we may only need two months, a month and a half, or even a month to drill it. This can also reduce the cost, and it can also reduce the risk of your capital. ”

Jiang Xinwei was very happy to see that a leader of a state-owned enterprise who had never been abroad could fight for the interests of the exploration team so clearly and explain his advantages so clearly.

But the expression on his face was serious, so that Tu Zheng and the others couldn't see his inner thoughts at all.

He raised his right hand, curled his thumb, and said, "Forty percent!"

"Impossible!" Tu Zheng, Lu Zhiyue, Zhao and Kun said in unison.

Then, Lu Zhiyue said dissatisfiedly: "If you want forty percent, we might as well adopt the first way of cooperation." It's all good for others anyway, so why should we give you the benefits?"

Zhao Hekun also said: "Now you are leaving us here, it is the Russian Bashikiel Oil Company that takes us in, it is reasonable, we are willing to give them the benefits and help them work." ”

Tu Zheng didn't complain, but said, "Twenty-eight!"

Jiang Xinwei shook his head and said, "Thirty-eight!"

Seeing that Jiang Xinwei was loose and no longer insisted on forty percent, Tu Zheng quietly exchanged a look with Lu Zhiyue and Zhao Hekun, and then said: "Twenty-nine! at most twenty-nine percent! is equivalent to giving you one-third!"

Jiang Xinxu smiled and said, "Then one-third, thirty-three percent!"

Tu Zheng showed a trace of annoyance on his face and said, "Impossible! I'm just saying a rough idea." Thirty!"

Jiang Xinwei stretched out his hand and said, "Deal!"

Tu Zheng and the others were all stunned, and almost flashed their waists: they didn't expect Jiang Xinwei to agree so quickly, and they were going to shout a few more rounds.

Tu Zheng asked a little suspiciously, "Dong Jiang, can you come up with so many funds?...... If we can't produce crude oil one after another, you need to pay tens of millions of dollars in advance. ”

One well is at least $7 million, and seven wells have to pay $50 million and half a billion in advance if they don't produce oil.

Jiang Xinwei smiled: "You dare to take risks the first time you cooperate with gringos, what can't I take a chance." Not to mention tens of millions of dollars, I dare to advance even 100 million dollars. ”

Not only does he not care about paying $100 million in advances, but he also pays $1 billion in advances, Jiang Xinwei will not blink his eyes: not to mention that Feixun Group can now be described as making money every day, even East-JM Bank and Investment Company will not be able to run out of money. Now that there is an opportunity to invest or not, do you want to let them play with cubs at home?

After the two sides determined the basic intention of cooperation, Tu Zheng and the others immediately went to negotiate with the Basskill Oil Company.

Jiang Xinwei did not impose any restrictions on their behavior, but only told Tu Zheng that in order to facilitate negotiations here, he asked them to negotiate in the name of Feixun Group. After all, Feixun Group has bid for an oil field in Saudi Arabia and is somewhat famous in the international oil field.

What they didn't expect was that when Tu Zheng and the others negotiated with the Bassskill Oil Company, the other party actually greatly lowered the purchase price of the third form of cooperation: In the first way of acquisition, the exploration team could only get a maximum of 8 percent of the shares in the oil field, which was two points less than the previous promise! The price of the second way of acquisition was no longer $30 million, but only $20 million.

At the beginning, Tu Zheng and others thought it was an ordinary bargain, not only were they unwilling to reduce the price, but they also raised the other party's original offer, although it was little increased because the situation was wrong, but after all, it was still a little higher.

However, when they saw Bashikiel's tough attitude, Tu Zheng was a little confused: These negotiation conditions are all based on whether you have proposed before? This little request is not even a bargain, why don't you agree, isn't this a backtrack?

Tu Zheng was so depressed that he had to temporarily suspend the negotiations on the grounds that he needed to go back to discuss.

As soon as he separated from the negotiators of the Basskill Oil Company, Tu Zheng immediately reported the situation to Jiang Xinwei and informed him of his judgment: "The Basskill Oil Company seems to have no fear, not like a bargain. ”

Jiang Xinwei was also stunned, but he didn't expect the Bassskill Oil Company to turn away this kind of cooperation in transferring risks: "Impossible, where can I find this kind of good thing of paying for exploration by myself? Especially your Russian oil company, now they are generally short of money, okay? You don't want such a trouble-saving thing, is there still better cooperation waiting for you?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinwei immediately summoned Merstafa, the contact person of East-JM Investment Company who had stayed here, and instructed him to send someone to investigate the reason for the sudden reversal of the Basskill Oil Company.

After receiving Jiang Xinwei's order, Merstapha immediately sent a lot of people to investigate.

Merstapha obeyed Jiang Xinwei's orders in this way, not only because he saw that the boss of his company, Mayoni, was pursuing Jiang Xinwei, but also the kind that he took the initiative to pursue, offending Jiang Xinwei was definitely more dangerous than offending Mayoni herself, and more importantly, Mestapha was introduced to East-JM Investment Company by Kryutsiakov Jr.

In other words, this Murstapha is also a former Soviet Krob employee, in addition to caring very much about the generous salary offered by East-JM Investment Company to make him loyal to the company, as far as Kryutsikov Jr. is concerned, he is also very obedient to organizational discipline and fulfills the orders of his superiors without discount.

It has to be said that the influence of East-JM Investments in Russia is strong, although the Barabinsk region is quite remote.

Perhaps because of the strength left behind by Ke Ke Bo, not long after the order was issued, Mestapha brought news to Jiang Xinwei in just a few hours: the reason why Basskill Oil Company was not interested in Tu Zheng's exploration team was because a third party had intervened.

Because of this third party, Bassskill Petroleum had another choice, and began to force Tu Zheng and their exploration team to reduce the price.

The Mestapha people also found out that the third party who was inserted was Nikko Koyo Oil Co., Ltd., and that their exploration team was going to explore for oil for Bathskill Oil.

Jiang Xinwei scolded hatefully: "This dog's Keyang is really ghostly, wherever Lao Tzu goes, they will follow?" Then, he asked Mestafa, "Do you know the price of the contract between this Japanese company and Basskill?"

Merstapha shook his head and said, "I haven't had time to find out yet, if I give me another day, I should be able to find out." …… However, my men heard from one of the Bad Keel oil company that it was as if the price of the company was the same as their price at Lukoil. ”

Jiang Xinwei hurriedly asked, "Lukoil Company also took a piece of oil field here?"

Mestapha nodded, "Take it." …… , their oil fields are less than three hundred kilometers from here. Jiang Dong, do you want me to send someone to Lukoil Company to check what price is reported by Rikukeyang? I know a vice president of that company, and if he comes forward, he should be able to find out the quotation. ”

Jiang Xinwei did not immediately arrange for him to investigate, but asked, "Didn't Lukoil Company finalize the price and exploration team either?"

"No," said Mestapha, "No, we at East-JM Investments were the fastest, and the exploration team was the first to be transported, and only two exploration teams came." Their oil service companies have not yet moved, and they don't know what day the equipment will be transported, so how can they sign contracts so quickly? Now the exploration teams of Schlumberger, Niko, Halliburton, and your Huaxia who are here to look for exploration business are certainly not in a hurry to sign contracts, but hope that these oil companies will be in a hurry and will only seriously negotiate when they automatically raise the price of their services. ”

Jiang Xinwei knew that companies such as Schlumberger and Halliburton were not strictly oil companies, nor did they even have exploration teams or drilling teams, they were just oilfield service providers, and they made money by providing services to oil companies. Even if they organized an exploration team and a drilling team, they would only come forward to convene it in their name and collect some management fees. They don't care much about whether the exploration team and the drilling team make money, they care about taking this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the oil company in order to promote the next oil service.

However, Jiang Xinwei knew better that Schlumberger didn't care whether the exploration team made money or not, but those exploration teams themselves cared, and even more concerned about the price than Tu Zheng, because they not only had high labor costs, but also had to submit management fees to Schlumberger and other companies, which increased the cost even more.

Although they have their own oil exploration team, they also have a disadvantage compared to the exploration team led by Tu Zheng, that is, their drilling equipment is very difficult to transport, and they need to be loaded from Southeast Asia to the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea, and then ashore and loaded onto the train. It takes a long time and the cost is high, unlike this side of China, which can be loaded directly in the northeast, and can be transported to Barabinsk City by turning the head of the car a few times.
