Most of the equipment in the Skoller field is still leased from the Russian oil sector. With a budget of $50 million, they can't afford to be extravagant and wasteful.

Moreover, there are connections with Bawell and others, who often lease equipment in rubles, or mixed rubles and dollars, and also have a small amount of equipment from China, which is transported by railway lines. Due to the difference in strength between the two sides, the agreement was signed in favor of Dahua and the Bank of China, and although the funds were loaned to three Russian companies, they were still under the full control of Dahua Industrial in the actual use process.

Qin Shiwei, who is always in charge, is used to being diligent and thrifty in China, and he has no habit of spending money lavishly on Western oil companies. He doesn't need to use dollars if he can use dollars, and he doesn't need to buy what he can rent. Equipment from the Russian oil sector, Chapter 356 Asians are also often continuously depressed.

After two weeks' work, the oil field has taken shape. The camping houses and generator sets for the headquarters were all installed in place, and the moving work, such as leveling the site, was quickly completed. At the same time, hired Russian companies began to lay the road to the well site. Qin Shiwei re-read the seismic map and deployed exploration wells.

Until the first exploration well was drilled, there was $50 million left.

Charmilles slept in the oil fields for a long time, looking at the reports with one eye and the oil fields with the other. Seeing that the derrick was erected and the drilling rig was rumbling to drill, I couldn't help but be surprised: "50 million US dollars is really enough?"

Qin Shiwei said indifferently: "They have already laid a survey well and a pre-exploration well, and the data is quite clear, we will do it on their basis, which is naturally simple." ”

They were referring to the oil sector of the former Soviet Union. Siberia is a key area for the development of the former Soviet Union. The Soviet government invested a lot in this and produced a lot of output.

Charmilles was half a layman and asked directly, "Can it produce oil?"

Qin Shiwei translated and said: "This well is not necessarily. But overall, for sure. ”

He dared to be so sure, also based on the condition of the Skoller field. The former Soviet Union has made a long-term and large-scale investment in Siberia, and the geological structure of many areas is quite clear. For example, the Skoller oil field is even more in the sequence of waiting for development, and it belongs to the oil field waiting for production, only because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, all of which are cheaper for domestic and foreign private developers.

Charmilles pretended to look at the drawings. Then he asked in a low voice: "How sure are you that this oil well will produce oil?" ”

"It's hard to say. ”

"What do you think it is?"

"I can only say that the odds are very high. Qin Shiwei looked at Shamilles strangely.

Charmilles hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Our investors, you know, some gentlemen want to come and visit the oil fields. After all, it's a multi-million-dollar project. ”

Hearing him say this, Qin Shiwei understood and said, "Fifty percent of it." Half and half. Therefore, the safest way is to wait for the oil to be produced and then invite someone to come. ”

"Some people can't wait. "Shamilles won't say anything about it.

Qin Shiwei knew what he meant. The oil field with reserves of 50 million tons is only taken down after injecting 50 million yuan, which is naturally indispensable for all kinds of cats. However, he himself is reluctant to get involved in such a thing. After thinking about it, he said, "I try to ensure the progress as much as possible." But whether it can produce oil is not known for sure. ”

"Of course. Charmilles smiled nicely.

After waiting for a week, the characters behind Will, Shamille and others began to appear in the Skoller field one after another.

At the beginning, Su Cheng didn't pay attention, but as the number of people in Skole, Qi Xiaokun found him and said, "The people who come can't all be Bawell's investors." ”

As a member of the Military Attache Office of the Embassy, Qi Xiaokun has a wealth of information channels, and has accumulated considerable intelligence on the former Soviet Union and the current Russia.

Su Cheng couldn't help but say, "Isn't it an investor? KGB? Is this necessary?"

Qi Xiaokun smiled at him and said, "It's not that serious, the KGB is too busy to take care of itself." I'm just analyzing the identities of the people, and there is no need for them to join forces. Well...... I noticed that the most senior among them was a deputy minister of geology, a retired minister of general machine-building, then the widow of a minister of chemical and petroleum processing industries, and several others belonged to the lower ranks of the former Soviet cadres...... In addition, there are several people in the Russian government, including those of the Russian Federal Energy Agency and the industrial sector of the Russian Federation, all of whom are in high demand...... And the officials of the Regional Development Agency of the Russian Federation ......"

Su Cheng interrupted him and said, "Why can't these people be investors?"

"Now Russia, they won't come with so many people just to carve up a 50 million ton oil field. It's a lot of money, but it's not necessary, you know what I'm saying. Qi Xiaokun rubbed his hands and said, "I estimate that if three or four people join forces, it will be no problem to take this Skohler oil field." ”

Su Cheng nodded helplessly.

It's a multimillion-dollar deal, but just as Sioux City is reluctant to invest, these Russian and former Soviet officials have the same concerns. Not everyone wants to wait a few years and then fantasize about the second half of their lives.

"Then what do you think is their purpose?" Su Cheng turned his head and asked Qi Xiaokun again.

Qi Xiaokun took out a chocolate bar from his pocket, tore open the package while thinking, took a big bite, and said, "My personal guess is that they are all people who are interested in the oil field." ”

"But it doesn't have to be the Skole field?"

"Hmm. ”

Su Cheng touched his chin and smiled: "I was thinking about selling jeans in Russia, but I didn't expect that they would come to the door without having to promote it themselves." ”

"What sells jeans?" Qi Xiaokun didn't understand.

Su Cheng told the story of a man who made jeans and made more money than a gold digger by selling sturdy pants, and then said: "I am not very optimistic about holding oil fields in Russia for a long time, but it is still a good choice to be a technical service provider and provide credit services by the way." Moreover, it can also gain a certain amount of control and influence over oil. ”

It is very difficult to hold more than 50% of the oil field shares in Russia for a long time, and it requires a long struggle and careful care. Sioux City did not want to devote the rest of his life to the struggle for power in Russia. However, if you only own a lower percentage of the shares, such as 5% or 10%, and you acquire them in a reasonable and legal way, the risk is low.

Dahua Industrial cannot gain the strength of a financial oligarchy in Russia, so it is far easier to make money by owning 60% of a company than by owning 10% of a company of six.

Of course, the disadvantage of this is that you have to understand the six companies separately, and the management cost will rise a lot from dealing with the relationship between two companies to dealing with the relationship between seven companies.

Qi Xiaokun swallowed the chocolate bar in two bites and said, "There should be a lot of people who think the same way as you, I noticed that there are people from oil companies among the visitors." ”

"Huh?"

"Schlumberger and Haliburton, this is on the list. Still others are still being identified. ”

Schlumberger and Haliburton are the world's top oilfield service providers, and they have become Fortune 500 companies by not extracting oil themselves, but by doing oilfield services. It is not at all surprising that this appeared in Siberia. In fact, during the Iron Curtain era, Schlumberger and Haliburton also did not sever relations with the then ** Soviet Union. In the same way, they have not cut off their relations with China.

It can be said that even if a penguin wants to mine for oil in Antarctica, they will send a sales team over and ask "do you want to help".

Schlumberger and Haliburton's technical means are naturally much more advanced than those of Dahua Industrial, but the fees are also much more expensive. 50 million US dollars to them, it is good to be able to drill an exploration well, to assist in the exploitation of an oil field, do not think about it without 500 million US dollars. The two do not belong to competitors of the same magnitude at all. If the oilfield service is compared to the decoration of a house, Haliburton is a high-end decoration service provider with exclusive designers, and Dahua Industrial can only be regarded as a small construction team led by a contractor.

Fortunately, Russia at the beginning of 1992 was a dilapidated house.

Su Cheng just thought for a moment, and continued to ask, "The rest of the visitors, how long will it take for you to identify yourself?"

"In a hurry?"

"Hurry. ”

Qi Xiaokun stretched his hand into his pocket and pulled out the empty trouser pocket.

Sioux City reluctantly found a few chocolate bars and handed them to him.

Qi Xiaokun stuffed it into his pocket, and then said, "If you recognize it all." Two weeks. ”

"Two weeks? What system are you using?"

"Manual system. Demarcate a range, hand it over to the people in the archives, flip a photo by photo, flip it to it, even if you can't turn it, what do you want. Qi Xiaokun "Zila", tore open a chocolate bar again, and licked it with relish.

After licking it for a while, he rewrapped it up and said with satisfaction: "I have eaten it today, and I will eat the rest tomorrow." ”

Sioux City turned his face away, never wanting to look at it again.

Knowing the visitor's goal, Sioux City was not in a hurry to visit, still pretending to be completely ignorant, just urging the oil field to speed up the construction and let the other party visit the development work of the oil field.

People who want to make money are always concerned about costs and profits, and the better Dahua performs in the Skoller field, the easier it will be to win more orders.

The two sides went their separate ways for a few days.

Coincidentally, they gathered under the exploration well.

This is the day when the oil is scheduled to produce oil, although it is only a test well, whether it can produce oil or not has nothing to do with the overall situation, but in terms of sensibility, oil production can naturally add a lot of points to Dahua Industry.

Qin Shiwei, who was in the dark, just drilled with his head down, and didn't care about the visitors gathered in front of him, Sikong Guan stood up to greet him.

At this moment, another helicopter landed on the leveled land.

There were quite a few people flying to and from the oil fields by helicopter, and Sioux City just glanced at it and was about to turn his head.

At this time, three yellow-skinned men jumped out of the helicopter.

"Asian!" Sioux City's eyes narrowed.

He doesn't care about Western oil services companies like Haliburton, because the two sides are two parallel lines, each facing a different customer base. But the oil companies in Asia are different, and in terms of savings, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and even Malaysia have considerable strength......) ！！！
