Su Dingyu said: "Then you can't be so favoritistic, he Feixun Group is raised by the eldest mother, and our Chinasoft Company is a concubine......"

While he was talking, Jiang Xinwei happened to be in a hurry to urinate, and after listening to Su Dingyu's words, he smiled and said, "Who are you kidding with?" Don't you know that the concubines are now more powerful than the main palace mother?"

As soon as Su Dingyu saw him, he immediately handed his mobile phone to Jiang Xinwei and said, "Minister Lu's phone, looking for you." ”

Jiang Xinwei sighed, took the phone and talked to Lu Xiangtao. After listening to Lu Xiangtao's words, Jiang Xinwei said in embarrassment: "Minister Lu, it's really not okay tomorrow morning, I have made an appointment with Director Zhang of the Development and Reform Commission, and I will go to him tomorrow morning." …… , in the afternoon, in the afternoon, it should be okay, as long as Director Zhang's affairs are done, I will call you. ”

Waiting for Jiang Xinwei to return the mobile phone to himself, Su Dingyu put the mobile phone in his pocket and asked: "What kind of big move are you doing? Isn't it your company's ordinary projects that don't need to be reviewed by the Development and Reform Commission? I said can you stop a little? You are not afraid of breaking other people's hearts." ”

Jiang Xinwei said as he walked in the direction of the bathroom: "It's not a company project, it's my personal matter and I asked him for help." ”

Su Dingyu was even more strange and asked, "Is there anything else you personally need their help with?"

Jiang Xinxu said: "Confidential!"

In fact, he just wanted to ask Zhang Shuxian to help him lend him the bidding information obtained by PetroChina and Sinopec in Saudi Arabia, and compare it with the information obtained by Kryutskov Jr.'s subordinates from Saudi Arabia to judge Kryutskov's ability to obtain information.

That day, Jiang Xinwei promised to give Kryutsikov Jr. $500,000 to get the news of the oil field auction in advance, and at about 11 o'clock that night, they actually handed Jiang Xinwei a thick document bag, which contained a lot of news about the oil field bidding.

But Jiang Xinwei didn't know whether the news was true or false, so he had to take the time to go to the capital to make a comparison, if the news they got was similar to the news they got from PetroChina and Sinopec, it naturally showed that Kryutskov's ability to obtain intelligence around the world was amazing.

You must know that at that time, Kryutsiakov Jr. only had a few hours of information, while PetroChina and Sinopec were not only two huge state-owned enterprises, they had many days to collect information, but also the two companies also received support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassies and other relevant departments.

If the information he got was different from the news obtained by PetroChina and Sinopec, Jiang Xinwei would have to find other channels and other ways to verify it. Either Kryutskov's ability to obtain intelligence is particularly amazing, exceeding Jiang Xinwei's imagination and the country's ability to obtain intelligence, or it is fake, just temporary fabricated information.

He will adjust the intensity of his use of them according to the size of their intelligence acquisition capabilities for Kryutsikov Jr.

However, don't tell Su Dingyu about this matter for the time being, lest he want to think about it.

The next morning, Jiang Xinwei came to the Development and Reform Commission with the information as scheduled. Director Zhang Shuxian was already waiting for him with two subordinates.

The two didn't say much, and Zhang Shuxian took the information in Jiang Xinwei's hand and handed it to his subordinates.

Soon, the two people immediately began to read the information brought by Jiang Xinwei. Most of these materials were written in Arabic, and Jiang Xinxu did not know them at all.

After reading for about half an hour, they took out some materials from the information bags next to them and read them, comparing the two documents at the same time.

After another half hour or so, one of the two men looked up and said, "These information is true. This is largely consistent with the information we collect. They even collected data from another exploration team in the Gavatan area seven years ago. As for the accuracy of this information, we cannot verify it here, but from the analysis of the obsolete situation of the paper, it is likely to be true, at least not a temporary fabrication. ”

Of course, these data are not really exploration materials, they have been summarized and sorted out by experts.

After waving his hand to let the two subordinates leave, Zhang Shuxian asked, "Jiang Dong, how did you get it? Did you establish an intelligence network in Saudi Arabia so quickly?"

Jiang Xinwei knew that he was talking about Tao Guoshui, who was carrying out the construction of a communications project in Saudi Arabia, so he shook his head and said, "It's not them." They are just pure engineering construction and do not undertake any task of gathering intelligence. ”

Zhang Shuxian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." I'm worried that you're young and vigorous, you've watched too many movies, and you want to make meritorious contributions when you go abroad, and you'll want to establish an intelligence network or something. At that time, if the intelligence did not collect anything, but aroused the disgust of the local political authorities, it would be more than worth the loss. ”

Jiang Xinwei smiled: "I don't have this ambition. They don't even speak Arabic, and few of them can speak English, so how can they gather intelligence, isn't that a credit to others?"

Zhang Shuxian looked at the information that returned to Jiang Xinwei's hand and asked, "Then what do you ...... Oh, I know, you have a good relationship with Prince Sayyafman. ”

Jiang Xinxu shook his head and said, "No." How could a prince do such a thing? I can't let him do such a thing. If you do too much of this kind of pit friends, you will have no friends. …… One of them said that he had a broken intelligence network in his hand, and in order to verify whether his broken network could collect useful information, I tried them with this project, but I didn't expect them to really get the information. ”

Zhang Shuxian was a little unconvinced and asked, "It's that simple?"

Jiang Xinxu smiled: "It's definitely not as complicated as you think." ”

Zhang Shuxian asked, "You don't want to participate in the auction of this oil field, do you?"

Jiang Xinwei was stunned for a moment and asked: "I am engaged in telecommunications equipment, how can I participate in the auction of oil fields?

Zhang Shuxian said: "According to the requirements of the bid, anyone has this qualification, as long as you can pay for it." I'm just worried that you're going to be stupid to bid on the fact that you think that crude oil is important, and that as long as the oil is extracted and someone wants it, you're stupid enough to bid for it. …… In fact, as long as there is oil in that oil field, we really want to bid. Even if it is to invest two billion dollars in Saudi Arabia for this purpose. ”

Jiang Xinxu asked, "What two billion dollars? Is this a qualification deposit for participating in the auction or a contract signing fee?"

Zhang Shuxian was more relieved when she heard this, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you really don't care about this." Now the Saudis have announced the prerequisites for bidding for the field, which is to build a highway in the Gavatan region, build an oil pipeline connecting the sea with the interior, including the construction of a wharf. According to the projections of a French company, these projects will cost at least two billion dollars, and many oil companies are afraid to bid because the risks are too great. ”

Jiang Xinwei sighed and asked, "Director Zhang, did our PetroChina and Sinopec retreat just in consideration of this early investment?"

Zhang Shuxian said: "Isn't it? If there is not much oil in the oil field, it will be a miserable loss." Although the Saudi side said that the two billion US dollars can be converted into investment, that is, if the oilfield reserves are determined to be less than 200 million barrels, this investment can be recovered by collecting tolls and crude oil transportation fees in the future, but if the oilfield reserves just exceed 200 million barrels, it will not be a loss? Moreover, the funds spent on oil exploration are also bottomless, and in the mountainous areas of Saudi Arabia, where conversation is inconvenient, an exploration well cannot be taken without eight million US dollars, and if more than a dozen abandoned wells are drilled in a row, even Exxon Oil Company will be dragged down. ”

Jiang Xinwei asked casually: "But what if there is oil underground?"

Zhang Shuxian said: "Boy, what do you mean? …… , I look, I remember that PetroChina invited experts to make a critical estimate of the oil reserves on the auction profit and loss. ”

He walked to the side of the document bag just now, took out a piece of paper from it, walked back as he looked at it, and said: "At the current price of $20 per barrel of crude oil, according to the normal exploration cost, this oil field must have 420 million barrels of crude oil to barely maintain a loss or win, and this does not include the interest cost of two billion dollars." ”

Jiang Xinwei couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, because he knew that the future oil price was far more than twenty dollars.

He asked, "What do we think is the approximate reserve of that field?"

Zhang Shuxian said: "According to the analysis of Saudi Arabia's own exploration data, our experts believe that the reserves of this oil field are about 290 million barrels, which means that the two billion US dollars are donated to Saudi Arabia. After working for half a day, even if all the crude oil in the oil field is pumped up, it is difficult to protect the capital. Unless the price of oil rises to $30, there is some hope of profitability. …… If, according to the analysis of the exploration data seven years ago, the reserves of the oil field are not even 290 million barrels, the specific amount is not known, because the exploration data seven years ago is incomplete. ”

Jiang Xinxu said: "Have you considered the factors for the price of crude oil to rise in the future? For example, if the price of a barrel rises to $50 or $80?"

Zhang Shuxian said with a smile: "Do you think that crude oil is an antique of calligraphy and painting, and the longer it passes, the more valuable it is?...... It is possible that the price of crude oil will rise, but it will not rise so much, it has been below twenty dollars for decades, and if it rises to thirty dollars, there will definitely be many national industries that will go bankrupt, and oil countries will also desperately produce. Besides, if the price of crude oil rises sharply, it is also caused by the depreciation of the dollar, and it is not really that high, so it doesn't make any sense at all, right?"

Jiang Xinwei still said: "Maybe the price of crude oil has really soared, and it's a pity that we don't participate." Maybe you wasted an opportunity. ”
