Bidding for oil plots is different from land auctions, which doesn't mean you pay for it and the land is yours. Rather, it is a bid for the right to exploit oil.

How much oil reserves are underground, and how much profit they can make, all need to be judged by the oil merchants. It can be said that there are both risks and huge business opportunities.

"$150 million!"

"$365 million!"

"$589 million!"

……

As soon as the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the small and medium-sized oil merchants in the audience couldn't wait to raise their cards to bid. Soon the price soared to over $1.2 billion.

"$1.27 billion!"

"$1,280 million!"

"$1,290 million!"

……

"This Mr. No. 17, bid $1.29 billion! Is there a higher bid than $1.29 billion?"

"$1,290 million, for the first time!"

"$1,290 million, the second time!" the female auctioneer shouted in front of the stage.

A $52 billion medium-sized oil field like this would cost $10 per barrel of oil at the cost of Russian crude oil extraction. In 2001, the international price of crude oil was around $30 a barrel.

In other words, of the $52 billion in oil, $17.2 billion is consumed in extraction. The real profit segment was $34.8 billion. And in this profitable part, according to the tax regulations of Russian oil, about 75% of the income tax needs to be paid (after all, the oil fields belong to the state, and this tax is very expensive).

After these costs are removed, the $52 billion medium-sized oil field, if not really the same as the exploration results. When all the mining is completed, it will bring about $8.5 billion in net profit to the company. And this part of the profit, it takes about 10 years to mine.

The average annual net profit is 850 million yuan (the income from crude oil extraction alone, excluding the sale of finished products such as gasoline).

Therefore, in general, such oil fields are considered to have certain risks. The maximum auction price that an oil company can offer will not exceed $1.4 billion. Because further up, the risk is not proportional to the return......

However, just when the auctioneer was about to confirm the third time. I saw Ma Wei, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly raised his hand casually. And said to the female auctioneer, "$1.4 billion." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the president of Rosneft, the president of Lukoil, and the president of Surgut Gasoline sitting around, and suddenly stared at him with some surprise!

I didn't expect that with Ma Wei's current value, he was willing to spend his spare money on such a medium-sized oil field. Could it be that this young man in front of him wants to grab all the oil fields in this batch, no matter how big or small, and realize his ambition to enter the oil industry?

Just as the three CEOs were thinking like this, the female auctioneer standing in front of the stage, holding a gavel in high spirits, said to the audience, "$1.4 billion! This Mr. No. 2 is bidding $1.4 billion! Is there a higher bid than $1.4 billion?"

"$1.4 billion, for the first time!"

"$1.4 billion, the second time!"

"$1.4 billion, the third time!"

Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully auctioning plot AC16 in the Caucasus!"

Regardless of what others think, Ma Wei has his eye on this AC16 plot anyway. And in the next second round of auctions, he fell in love with the AC19 oil field with an exploration estimate of 78 billion US dollars!

Frightened, sitting next to him, Gazneft President Maxim, Lukoil President Oleg, and Surgut Gasoline President Andreev were three. I really thought that Ma Wei had a big appetite and wanted to get all the oil fields that were auctioned......

"$2.18 billion. Ma Wei, holding up his No. 2 hand, said to a group of oil company CEOs. Anyway, the land he fancies, and the bid is by no means ambiguous. directly use the sharp price to break the opponent's psychological defense......

"$2,180 million!

"$2,180 million!

"$2,180 million!

"Tuk tuk tuk! Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully auctioning off Lot AC19 in the Caucasus!" said the female auctioneer excitedly in front of the stage.

The total estimated value of the two oil fields is nearly $130 billion, and the total auction price is as high as $3.58 billion. In this way, it was understated by Ma Wei and photographed all of them. It's really callable, the afterlife is terrifying, and it's menacing!

I could see that the group of small and medium-sized oil merchants sitting behind him wanted to cry without tears and wanted to leave on the spot......

"My God, according to his worth, shouldn't he be the most competitive oil field, with a valuation of $332.5 billion? Why don't you even let go of the oil field of 40 or 50 billion yuan...... How do we live?", thought a president of a medium-sized oil company depressedly at the meeting.

Not only was he so depressed that he vomited blood, but the oil merchant bosses who sat next to him, sitting in front of and behind him, were all inhumane by Ma Wei's "trench" and were about to cry......

"Big guy, can you give me a way to live, you can also shoot in the first round, and you will also shoot in the second round! Should you be the only one who wants to take over the entire auction of the oil fields?" Rarity guessed uneasily.

However, it is clear that they are wrong. Because Ma Wei deduced from his memories of his previous life and relevant news that the two pieces of land he had just auctioned were the most valuable! If he remembered correctly, there were at least nearly $180 billion in oil reserves buried underground......

And the AC28 landmark that was hyped up and said that there was $332.5 billion of oil buried under the ground. In the next ten years, 50 billion US dollars of oil can be produced, which can be regarded as burning high incense.

"Tuk tuk tuk! The next bid is the AC28 landmark, which is the land with the richest oil reserves in our bid! After exploration data, there are 332.5 billion US dollars of oil buried underground...... "The female auctioneer dutifully introduced in front of the stage.

But to Ma Wei, it was extremely ironic. Even some of him watched the fire from the other side, wanting to see which one was wronged, and spent a lot of money to auction this plot.

Because at this moment, Ma Wei can clearly feel the left and right sides, intentionally or unintentionally throwing "vigilance", "vigilance", and even "hostile" glances at him. That kind of gaze made him very uncomfortable. It feels like being treated like a wolf.

So Ma Wei simply put the number plate in his hand directly on the coffee table next to him. It means that you are free, anyway, I don't shoot anymore.

Sitting on his left and right were Maksim, President of Rosneft, Oleg, President of Lukoil, and Andreev, President of Surgut Gasoline. I don't understand what he is all about! Is there a hidden reason ......?
