Chapter 586 - You Must Be Careful
Tu Zheng said with a smile: "Do we Huaxia workers have such a? We finally came out, spent so much money to transport the equipment, and then rolled back in disgrace?...... , not to mention that the leader and the people at home will scold me, we ourselves will stuff our heads in the crotch of our pants. How dare you see people, don't you?"
Jiang Xinxu asked, "Which company's business are you taking over?"
Tu Zheng replied, "Bassskill Oil Company." ”
Jiang Xinwei sighed, vaguely heard of this company, but was not familiar with it, he continued to ask, "How did you cooperate?"
Tu Zheng said: "We are hesitating, we have been talking for two days. ”
Jiang Xinwei sighed again, but this time it was because of the question: "There are several ways to cooperate, and I don't know which way to take now?"
Tu Zheng nodded and said, "Isn't it? One way doesn't care about anything, we do whatever people tell us to do, we only earn labor fees." According to their requirements, where to erect wells, where to drill, and how deep to drill are all determined by them, and we drill honestly. We don't want anything, we can still have an advance payment for us, and we live a more nourishing life. To be honest, with this advance, we're pretty much alive here. ”
Jiang Xinxu asked, "This is indeed not bad." At the very least, you can settle down first, and then actively solicit business. Once you have this experience, you will be even more handy in the future. ”
Lu Zhiyue said beside him: "That's right." That's what I mean. We are not familiar with life here, so first stabilize ourselves, first let the workers feel at ease and then talk about other things, how good. Lao Zhao, look at it, Jiang Dong also means this. ”
Jiang Xinwei hurriedly said: "I don't necessarily mean this, I don't know about your other ways of cooperation yet." I'm just saying that if you use this method, it's not bad, at least it means that you haven't come abroad in vain. But if there was a better way, I certainly hope for a better way. ”
Speaking of this, he turned to Tu Zheng and asked, "Commander Tu, tell me about other ways of cooperation." Isn't it possible to collect people, but also to be risky?"
Tu Zheng nodded and said, "You're right. There are two other ways, one is that our exploration team shares the risk and invests together with their Bathskill Oil Company. Not only do they not pay a penny upfront, but they also ask us to pay half of the investment in advance. When the well is drilled, if the oil is not produced, they pay all the investment and our labor wages. It means that we can still only make a little hard-earned money. …… However, if the oil well is oily, the situation is much better. They will buy our wells at 150 percent of their investment. If we are lucky, we may make an income of 5 million dollars, which is equivalent to more than 30 million yuan in our national currency, and we will make a small fortune. ”
Lu Zhiyue smiled bitterly: "However, where do we have so much money to invest? What if we don't even drill *** to produce oil? Invest so much money, and in the end we only get a little salary, which is similar to the first plan." It's better to think about nothing and earn your hard-earned money honestly. ”
Although it is said that it is too unlucky, it cannot be said that there is no such unlucky thing. In the history of oil exploration, there is a precedent for drilling more than 50 wells in a row without producing oil, and dragging down three oil companies one after another. Even Libya before and after World War II knew that there was oil there, but Italy and Germany drilled and invested countless funds there, but in the end they only found a few oil splashes. If Germany had discovered the world's super-oil field in Libya during World War II, the history of World War II would have changed.
It was also the time of World War II, and the Japanese did not exert their strength in the northeast of China? As a result, the final conclusion was that there was no oil in the northeast of China. Who knew that Huaxia immediately gave them a resounding slap in the face in the fifties: There is no one in the Northeast?
Of course, there are also those who are so lucky that they can drill out gushing crude oil during exploration, and they can grasp the exact location of the reservoir at once, and the rest only need to drill production wells, only need to use oil tanks to fill oil, and there is no need to invest more money in exploration.
If you take into account the cost of raising funds and the interest cost of the funds themselves, this plan really can't be said to be good or good, and what Lu Zhiyue said is not unreasonable.
Tu Zheng did not refute Lu Zhiyue's statement, but said: "The last option is riskier, but the benefits are higher. That's when we finished contracting Bathskill Oil to explore here, and they ignored it, just waited at home for our news, and they didn't come and take over our wells until we drilled the oil. There are two ways to receive it. The first is profit sharing, in which we will own 10 percent of the dividend shares in this field. Another way to acquire is to acquire our wells for four times the derrick investment. Isn't it worth $7 million to invest a fixed price now? They're willing to buy it for $30 million. Of course, whether it is the purchase price of shares or oil wells, it can still be discussed. ”
When he talked about this kind of cooperation, Tu Zheng's eyes began to glow, and he said: "I like their second acquisition method very much, if they are willing to pay 30 million US dollars to buy our crude oil wells, then we will not make a lot of money? ”
This risky approach to Bathskill Oil Company is equivalent to the kind of cooperation they had in the forefront. Bashikiel Oil Company has no risk, and let Tu Zheng and his exploration team work in the field, only when the oil is produced, they come over with a smile and hand over the funds to Tu Zheng and them: "Okay, okay, you can go, and we will do the rest of the money." ”
The purchase of a well that produced oil for $30 million seemed to Bathskill Oil Company to suffer a lot of losses, but in fact they did not suffer a loss, because the probability of oil producing oil from the oil well was only 30% or even less, which means that at least four wells could be drilled to ensure that one well produced oil. Even at this normal rate, the oil company would only invest a third more money.
What's more, they transfer the risk and do not bear any capital preparation costs and capital interest costs.
Transferring the risk with just one-third more money is the equivalent of lying in bed and waiting for the pie to come down.
This risky way not only the steady Lu Zhiyue disagreed, but also the exploration captain named Zhao Hekun, he said: "Commander Tu, I think this risk is too great, and the superior leaders will definitely not agree." Even if the higher-ups agreed, where would they raise so much money for us? Unless we drilled the first well to get an industrial oil stream, we would all be alive. Then we will really be able to earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country. ”
Oil wells are not just drilled to produce oil, but also industrial oil flows, which have extraction value. If it's just a little bit of oil, and you can't even earn back the labor costs, it's meaningless, and it's equivalent to not drilling oil.
Tu Zheng looked at Jiang Xinwei and said, "Jiang Dong, can you help us and lend us money?"
I have to say that those who can be leaders are all human spirits, and people have long been branded with Jiang Xinwei's idea. Jiang Xinwei even felt that Lu Zhiyue, Zhao Hekun and they were all cooperating with Tu Zheng and investing in Jiang Xinwei in different ways.
Because they know that if no one invests, they can only take the first way of cooperation here, and they can only make hard-earned money. The country is not rich now, and it has already taken a lot of effort to send them out, just hoping to earn back a large amount of foreign exchange from East-JM Investment Company, where will they risk their cash out?
Jiang Xinxu asked, "If I lend you money, how much are you going to pay me?"
Obviously, Tu Zheng had been thinking about it for a long time, and when he heard Jiang Xinwei asking for benefits, he was not surprised, so he said, "We can give you 20% of the profit." ”
Jiang Xinxu smiled and asked, "If it were you, would you agree?...... , you give me a reason why I agreed. You don't want to teach me any national righteousness and moral norms, you treat me as a foreign capitalist, a foreign boss who invests with a check, and you must try to convince me. ”
Jiang Xinwei doesn't care about this income, according to his original intention, even if he loses money, as long as he can cultivate a team that can rampage in the field of international oil production, he is willing. But it is precisely because of this ideal that he cannot indulge them like a parent, and he cannot prevent them from taking risks. He must be in business, and he must treat them in accordance with the rules of the world.
Only in this way, as long as they are trained to communicate with other companies in the form of business cooperation with others from now on, they will be able to go overseas and not be eaten by others.
Wasn't he the one who forced them to find business this time? If he hadn't forced them, they would still be in the same place with Wang Jindong and them, scheming for the interests of their own units.
Tu Zheng said: "That's 25 percent! That's enough, you just need to come up with the money and do nothing else." ”
Jiang Xinwei said: "Twenty-five percent is not enough! Far from enough! Don't forget, if I don't invest, you can only make hard-earned money." And if you can't get oil, you're only losing labor costs, and what about me?"
Tu Zheng said: "But our labor costs are very low, and our equipment and wearing parts are relatively cheap, which is our advantage." You should know that the investment cost of an oil well is seven million dollars, which is the international general price, but to us, the quotation of seven million dollars also has a profit of at least twenty-five percent. If the other party is willing to give us the contract price of 8 million US dollars, it is equivalent to 40% of the profit. If we save a little more, maybe the profit will be higher. ”
