"This ...... It's also too ...... That's it, right?" Jiang Xinwei was shocked in his heart, but he could only go down at this point. Ｘ

Prince Sayyafman not only came in person, but also brought a large number of officials such as the deputy minister of energy, the deputy minister of transportation, and the vice minister of communications, as well as several princes.

Among the many officials and princes in Saudi Arabia, there are also economic counselors of the Chinese Embassy in Saudi Arabia, as well as Chinese people such as Tao Guoshui and Wang Jianyun.

Now this economic counselor is not ready to greet Jiang Xinwei, a private businessman, just because he learned that the Saudi authorities have dispatched so many officials, according to the principle of reciprocity, the embassy urgently contacted the country, and finally hurriedly sent the economic counselor to deal with it, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Saudi Arabia.

The reason why the Huaxia embassy is not prepared to welcome Jiang Xinwei is that, on the one hand, the merchants in Huaxia are only businessmen after all, and no matter how rich they are, they are also businessmen rather than officials, and there is no reason to send high-ranking officials to greet them, unless they go to a certain place in the country to conduct investment inspections, and the leaders there hope that the businessmen will invest in the local area, and they may welcome them. Just imagine, if every time a big businessman comes over, the officials will not be tired to death?

On the other hand, it is also out of the safety protection of Jiang Xinwei in China, which does not want him to show his head and wants him to keep a low profile. Because as long as there are high-ranking officials who are openly greeted, media reporters will appear, and Jiang Xinwei's image will be presented to the world through television.

Maybe the embassy has already greeted Sayyafman, or maybe Sayyafman himself doesn't like to swagger, although there are many officials who came to greet Jiang Xinwei, but there is no reporter at the airport, and even the passengers are isolated by the military and police.

Jiang Xinwei was a little moved, and said in English while hugging him: "Your Royal Highness, thank you for your warm reception. ”

Sayevman was very satisfied with the surprise that his actions had caused Jiang Xinwei, and said with a smile: "It should be." You helped me a lot. ”

Jiang Xinwei secretly said ashamed in his heart: When you know that the oil field has far more reserves than you imagined, I don't know if you will be like thunder.

But he said, "I should too, who called us friends." When I left, I had already received that the two ships sent by Your Excellency had arrived in our city of Canton, thank you. ”

These ships will not only be used to carry construction teams and construction equipment, but will also load construction materials such as cement and steel bars purchased domestically. However, all of this is operated by Han Pengyuan, and Jiang Xinwei doesn't have to worry about it.

Sayevman introduced Jiang Xinwei to the high-ranking officials he had brought in, and Jiang Xinwei shook hands with them one by one. After a brief greeting in the airport lounge, Jiang Xinxu and his entourage were sent to a luxury hotel that Prince Sayyafman had set for them.

After a short rest at the hotel, Jiang Xinwei, Tao Guoshui, Wang Jianyun, Zhou Jianliang, Xu Jianhu and others went to Prince Sayevman's mansion to attend a dinner at his invitation.

Rao is Jiang Xinwei is a man and well-informed, but the luxury of the prince's palace is still far beyond his imagination, if he hadn't forcibly suppressed his feelings, he would definitely drool: "Say! This is too extravagant, isn't it? The edges of the steps are inlaid with gold bars, and there are diamonds on the doorknobs, so you are not afraid that I will pry one down and take it away?"

In fact, he also knew that if he wanted to build such a palace, he could build it, and he didn't even need a quarter of profit to achieve it, and the palace in front of him would cost three or four billion dollars at most. However, Jiang Xinwei was still shocked, at least he was reluctant to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a house.

The palace is very luxurious, and the food at night is more exquisite, although Jiang Xinwei is the first time to eat this food, he still thinks it is very delicious. In particular, there are a few Chinese dishes made by Sayyafman in order to take care of them from China.

Because everyone has a good impression of each other, the guest and the host talk very happily for a while, not like a negotiation opponent at all, without any calculation and wit, everyone is purely for eating and drinking for pleasure.

At the end of the dinner, Sayevman invited with a smile: "Jiang, are you interested in accompanying me to Africa to hunt?"

If it was usual, Jiang Xinwei would definitely agree without hesitation, after all, befriending a Middle Eastern tyrant would be beneficial to him, and besides, he was also looking forward to a hunting experience when he was young. But considering that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I still have a lot of things to do, first of all, I must sign this oilfield contract and the construction contract related to the oilfield contract, and then go to the Gavatan area for field investigation, and then sign a construction contract with Han Pengyuan.

Seeing Jiang Xinwei's hesitation, Sayyafman said empathetically: "What, are you worried about affecting the signing of the contract?"

Jiang Xinwei admitted with a smile: "Yes, the most important festival of our Chinese people is coming soon, and I must sign the contract as soon as possible and return to China to reunite with my family." Otherwise, I would definitely be willing to accompany His Highness on a chic trip. I haven't hunted in my life, I've only seen it on TV. ”

Sayevman smiled: "I know your holiday is coming. However, I would say that we can't delay you in hunting, and an hour is enough for the contract to be signed. When you come back from hunting, I can send a special plane to send you back directly, which can save a lot of time. How?"

Jiang Xinwei calculated the time in his heart for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." I accompanied His Highness to enjoy the pleasures of African hunting. The prey should taste good, right?"

Sayyafman smiled: "Repay you for eating happily." Then it's settled, how many of you guys over there, and my servants will arrange the vehicles, the tents, the guns, the drinks. ”

Jiang Xinwei glanced at Tao Guoshui and Wang Jianyun, and saw that they had helpless refusal in their eyes, so he said to Sayevman: "Just three people." ”

Tao Guoshui and Wang Jianyun are both the same thing: Tao Guoshui is not only in charge of the signing of this contract, but also in charge of the construction of the previous communication projects. Those who have been working on communications projects in Saudi Arabia obviously need to take a vacation and need to be reunited with them, and many jobs need to be decided by Tao Guoshui.

Although Wang Jianyun is just an ordinary administrator, he is now appointed by Jiang Xinwei to be in charge of the negotiations with the China Construction Overseas Bureau, and the construction contracts of highways, terminals and oil pipelines require him to have a lot of contact and negotiation with the Saudi side and the China Construction Overseas Bureau.

Returning from Prince Sayyafman's palace to the hotel where he was staying, Jiang Xinwei asked Tao Guoshui: "How are you reviewing the oilfield contract? Are there any major problems? Is there any need for me to come forward to negotiate with the Saudi side?"

Tao Guoshui smiled and said, "It's very smooth, there is basically nothing extra to fight for." Unless we want to get additional benefits. According to international practice, they gave us very favorable conditions, at least none of them were cheating us. …… , Barrister Zhong Chonghuan, you will give a specific report to Jiang Dong. ”

"Oh, no wonder Prince Sayyafman said that it only takes an hour for the contract to be signed. Jiang Xinwei looked at the man with glasses and said, "Hello Barrister Zhong, thank you for your hard work." ”

Zhong Chonghuan smiled modestly and said, "This time it's very easy, there's nothing to be tired of." This time, the contract they drafted was basically a copy of their contracts with several major oil companies in the United States, and we all enjoyed the rights and interests enjoyed by those oil companies, and of course, we also undertook the obligations they recognized. It's just that they gave us a couple of concessions. ”

As he spoke, Zhong Chonghuan took out a piece of paper from the briefcase he was carrying and said: "In the first clause of paragraph 13 of the contract, they gave us a five-year term for exploration rights, which is two years longer than the international customary three years. ”

Jiang Xinxu nodded and said, "This is good." We at Flycom don't care about spending a little more money on exploration. ”

On the surface, the time of this exploration right is not of much significance, isn't it the time that the other party allows us to explore on this land? If we can't explore for oil in three years, we will definitely lose our bottoms, and we will have to go home a long time ago, and we still need to stay for two more years and throw a lot of money into it?

Exploration rights, as the name suggests, are the rights given by the owner of the oil field to the purchaser of the oil field to explore the oil field. In order for oil companies to dig oil out of the ground, in addition to the initial reserve exploration, there is also exploitation exploration, not only to determine the location of the underlying oil reservoir, but also to determine the location of the future drilling, where to extract crude oil is the best. Of course, sometimes the luck is so good that the exploration well is drilled in the best position of the oil reservoir, and when it is drilled, the crude oil is spewed out, and it can be loaded into oil tanks and oil tankers to start selling for money.

But most of the time, many exploration wells need to be drilled to find the best location to extract oil. Some even drilled more than a dozen wells or even a few *** can not find the location of the industrial oil flow, can not carry out normal scale mining, the produced crude oil is not enough for workers to spend on labor. If that happens, the oil company will have no choice but to give up and pack up and go home. Because the waste is so great, a single exploration well needs to invest millions of dollars, ten drilling rigs are thousands of dollars, how many companies in the world will throw so much real money into it?

However, as for the owners of oil fields, they hope that the oil company will dig up the oil as soon as possible, and sell the oil as soon as possible to get a profit share, if the oil company still can't dig up the oil in a few years, they will think that the oil company is either not technically good, or it will not be able to explore and exploit in the future, and of course they do not want the oil company to occupy the oil field half-dead, and of course they must stop the cooperation with the oil company and replace it with a new company capable of exploration and exploitation to carry out exploration and exploitation.

Therefore, the oilfield owner will stipulate a time limit for exploration rights when the contract is signed, after which you can't give the oilfield owner a full profit share if you haven't obtained the industrial oil stream, sorry.
