I don't know when, the meeting has ended, and Zhang Shuxian announced that everyone can leave. Ｘ

Jiang Xinwei picked up his notebook and stood up and was about to leave, Zhang Shuxian hurriedly said, "Jiang Dong, why do you want to leave too?" Didn't you hear my notice?"

Jiang Xinwei looked at him blankly and asked, "Notice?

Before Zhang Shuxian could speak, Wen Guozhong slapped Jiang Xinwei on the shoulder and said, "Lao Tzu knew that your kid had a meeting, and he didn't listen to the leader at all. …… Sit down, you have important things to discuss. ”

Jiang Xinwei sat down suspiciously, looked left and right, and found that the CEOs of Sinopec and PetroChina had not left, and they were all looking at him playfully.

Jiang Xinwei became more and more puzzled, looked at Zhang Shuxian and said, "Director Zhang, I'm really sorry, I didn't listen to your report just now. …… Do I really have something to do here?"

Zhang Shuxian was angry and funny, and when the others finished leaving, he saw Luo Shaoxian personally close the door of the conference room, and then he said: "About the bidding for Saudi oil fields." If my guess is correct, this information was informed to the Chinese embassy in Saudi Arabia by the people of your Feixun Group, right?"

Jiang Xinwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's the case." I know that it was inadvertently obtained from Saudi officials by the people of our Fly-on Group who were building communications equipment in Saudi Arabia. …… , what, our country is going to join in the fun?"

Then, he said: "Director Zhang, and the leaders, I don't know anything. I'm not interested in participating, whether it's oil or oilfield, it's not something that we can do with Feixun Group. ”

Zhang Shuxian looked at him as if he didn't want to be contaminated, and said depressedly: "Can you wait for us to finish talking before you make a choice? Isn't your Feixun Group doing less in other industries? As for the equipment just discussed, what can a telecommunications equipment supplier do? Is it also your business to ship arms and equipment from the former Soviet Union?"

Jiang Xinwei smiled and said, "I think this is beneficial to the country and can also weaken the strength of Russia and other countries, so I did it." ”

"Well said!" Zhang Shuxian immediately took over and said, "What we value is your patriotic heart." You can say it yourself, and if you think it's good for the country, you will do it. Now we want to participate in the auction of Saudi oil fields, and we want to invite you to participate, okay?"

Jiang Xinwei shook his head and said: "I don't know anything about oil exploration and smelting, if I am allowed to participate, it will simply accompany the prince to study." If it were other companies, I might be able to pay some money to participate, but you are Sinopec and PetroChina, and you export crude oil and chemical products, and you earn a lot of foreign exchange, so you don't need my help to solve it. Why let me meddle and divide your profits?"

Zhang Shuxian said with a smile: "Since you know that there are profits, why don't you participate? Are you still afraid that you will burn your hands if you have too much money? Which of the world's largest enterprises is not diversifying? Which one is not entering multiple fields?...... It's time to tell you, we have taken a fancy to your relationship in Saudi Arabia. As far as we know, you have a very good relationship with the Saudi crown prince, and your telecommunications builders in Saudi Arabia also have contacts with many Saudi officials. If you can take advantage of these relationships, we can have a much greater chance of bidding on the field. ”

Thinking of Sayevman's bet on the price of crude oil with himself, Jiang Xinwei wanted to laugh.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't have a good relationship with Sayyafman, after all, we have only met once. …… If it had been a month ago, maybe I could have asked him to help you, but not now. ”

Zhang Shuxian and the others were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Xinwei said: "When he came to my company before, he made a private bet with me. I said that the international price of crude oil would rise sharply in the future, but he said that the price of crude oil would not rise, and even if it did, it would not rise much. ”

Of course, he won't say what the bet will be.

Zhang Shuxian thought it was just a verbal bet between two young people, so he said: "The price of crude oil has not risen much recently, and now it is only twenty dollars." Even if you lose the bet, then he won't be so angry, at most he will laugh at you. He's made a bet with you, he's happy, maybe your relationship is better. ”

Jiang Xinwei smiled bitterly: "If this is the case, of course my relationship with him will not be bad." The problem is that when he returned to China and saw that the price of oil had risen to $20, he immediately convened experts to discuss the future of oil prices, and many experts believed that oil prices would indeed rise, and even if they did not rise, the price of a barrel of crude oil would rise a lot as the dollar depreciated. …… So, thinking that I had taken advantage of the fact that he had not taken into account the depreciation of the dollar, Sayevman called me to apologize. ”

What he said was half-true, and Sayyafman's call was true, but he did not ask Jiang Xinwei to apologize, but offered to revoke the bet agreement.

Of course, he took the initiative to propose compensation measures, that is, they increased the purchase order of Feixun Group's telecommunications equipment in Saudi Arabia, and also promised to help Feixun Group privately sell Feixun Group's telecommunications equipment to other Middle Eastern countries.

Regarding Sayevman's breach of the contract, Jiang Xinwei had to agree. After all, the bet was a whim at the time, and it was not considered too comprehensively, and in hindsight it was difficult to cash in: when the price of oil rose to $40, $50, or even higher, the price of their $18 bet had risen by far more than 50 percent. According to the stipend of the gambling agreement, Jiang Xinwei first bought 100 million barrels of crude oil at a price of $9 per barrel, and then bought hundreds of millions of barrels of crude oil from Sayyafman at a low price after dropping by 50 percent at the current price.

No matter how rich Sayyafman is, he will die of heartache.

If the price of oil rises to $100, or even to the highest peak of his previous life, $140, Sayyafman will definitely be angry.

If you really want to operate according to the gambling agreement, as long as it is executed for one year, Sayyaf Man is likely to be deposed by the Saudi royal family, Jiang Xinxu's Feixun Group may also be expelled by Saudi officials, the Saudi telecommunications equipment market will be closed to Feixun Group from now on, and Jiang Xinxu will also become persona non grata in Saudi Arabia.

In that case, it would be a disaster.

Sayevman said that he broke the contract and gave Feixun Group a lot of orders, so Jiang Xinwei naturally got off the donkey and pretended to be heartbroken and agreed.

A benefit is only a good if it falls in the pocket, and the best benefit that does not fall into the pocket is also fake.

Although the contract was successfully broken, Sayevman must still be unhappy in his heart, and he definitely didn't want to talk about any oil with Jiang Xinwei because he felt ashamed.

Zhang Shuxian couldn't cry or laugh, and asked, "Have you apologized?"

Jiang Xinwei said deliberately: "How can it, it was he who lost the bet, and it wasn't me who lost, how could I apologize?"

Zhang Shuxian shook his head and said, "You guys, you are really children." ”

Sha Ziluo, the boss of the China National Petroleum Corporation, said disapprerovingly: "What is it to make a bet? It's just a joke, maybe the other party has forgotten it." And if we can bid for the oil field, if the oil field has a large amount of storage, our country can get an overseas oil field, and maybe a lot of direct benefits. ”

Jiang Xinwei still insisted: "I know that bidding for oil fields is beneficial, and you can participate." I don't participate, I'm just worried that my joining will do you a disservice. In his mind, he had exhausted his relationship with Sayyafman, which had been turned into telecommunications equipment orders and promises that he would privately promote for the Flycom Group, and that it would be a bit of a stretch for him to help PetroChina and Sinopec if he made his own requests.

Guo Qiuhong, the chief executive of Sinopec, said: "We can make use of your contacts in Saudi Arabia and we can give you 5 percent of the shares in the oilfield! If we succeed, this will be a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars in the future." Why don't you do it?"

In order to dispel their thoughts, Jiang Xinwei deliberately sneered: "The future income of hundreds of millions of dollars must be successful in the auction, and there is enough crude oil in the auctioned oil field." But what if the bid doesn't work out, or if there's not much crude oil underground?

Guo Qiuhong said dissatisfiedly: "How can you say that? There is no crude oil underground, how dare they Saudi Arabia put it up for auction? Isn't this a disgrace in the international community?"

Jiang Xinxu said: "What's the shame of this? Without comprehensive exploration, who in the world would dare to say where there is oil, and who would dare to say how many tons there are in a certain oil field? This is a gamble. In the end, it depends on your judgment and luck. …… If everybody thinks there's a lot of crude oil underground, I don't think you two companies can bid, can you?

Guo Qiuhong and Sha Ziluo both fell silent.

They are all aware of the strength of their company.

In China, both companies are giants that no one dares to ignore, and even Feixun Group has to bow down. But it's hard to say that the two companies got it internationally. Compared with international oil and petrochemical giants, although it is not the difference between ants and elephants, it is only an order of magnitude difference.

Besides, even though the value of PetroChina and Sinopec is very high, fixed assets account for a considerable proportion and there is not much liquidity. What's more, these two companies are still state-owned enterprises, and it is impossible for the state to watch them take huge sums of money to gamble outside as they want. If there is so much crude oil in the US dollar underneath, who will be responsible?

Jiang Xinwei understands this truth, Sha Ziluo and Guo Qiuhong also understand this truth, and Zhang Shuxian, director of the Development and Reform Commission, understands this truth even more.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about this first." Since Jiang Dong is unwilling to participate, we can't force it. You'd better go back and collect the information and prepare what you need to prepare. If the conditions are ripe, we will participate. ”

What is not said later is naturally that if the conditions are not ripe, this matter will be forgotten.

Waiting for the two CEOs to go together, Zhang Shuxian said to Jiang Xinwei: "Xiao Jiang, come and sit in my office." ”

Jiang Xinxu smiled and said, "I didn't agree to join just now, are you angry and ready to call me in and criticize me severely?"
