Chapter 492: Spleen and Stomach
"So, when is Dahua Industrial going to intervene in Kazakhstan's oil field bidding?" Chen Lizheng heard the meaning of Su Cheng's words.
"It's hard to know for sure, but it's not a good time this year. Sioux City said simply.
Chen Lizheng asked curiously, "What is Dahua's plan?"
His tone was a little eager, and when he looked at His Excellency the General Manager, his eyes were also eager. If you think about it, you can also understand that domestic oil companies are shouting to go out, and they have been shouting for two or three years, Sinopec, CNOOC and PetroChina, CNOOC has attracted a lot of foreign companies by controlling overseas oil fields, and Sinopec's oil refining projects are also indispensable for the participation of foreign capital.
It is estimated that in addition to Dahua Industrial, they also contacted companies such as Haliburton. However, in the era of $30 per barrel of oil, the oil fields that were slightly overlooked were stared at by companies such as the Seven Sisters of Oil, and even if they had a slight relationship, it was not the turn of the oil company to grab the oil fields. As for those oil fields with high barrel oil costs or unclear reserves, it is difficult to make a decision as a state-owned enterprise of the Petroleum Corporation.
It was really impossible to find a way, so they asked the dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Historically, in order to find an overseas oil field, the oil company spent a lot of effort, and finally it was easy to get mixed into Sudan's oil field, but it was a pile of international disputes and international scandals, and it is difficult to say whether the Sudanese project made money in the end, and the political account is at least a pure loss, even so, PetroChina has persevered, and it can be imagined that they are eager for the Caspian oil circle. In any case, the Kazakhstan region is the second largest wholesale oil market in the world after the Middle East, and is more retail than Sudan. I don't know how much stronger.
Times are changing. A few years ago, the oil company did not say that there was nothing at all about overseas oil fields, but basically held the attitude that it was good and it didn't matter if it was gone. However, when China changed from an oil exporter to an oil importer, the central government put forward new requirements for the oil company.
With the idea of state-owned enterprises, the top management has put forward new ideas, and no matter whether the conditions are available or not, they will all have to work hard. It's better to have a model to prove your ability to act.
Seeing that 93 years are about to pass, and the action has not yet been shown, even the general manager who is about to retire does not dare to say that it is easy in his heart.
He and Chen Lizheng both stared at Su Cheng tightly.
I just took over someone's land at a flat price. Su Cheng couldn't be too heartless, thought for a while, and said honestly: "I'm going to get the oil fields of Azerbaijan first, and then see if Kazakhstan has a chance." β
Although they are all former Soviet republics, Azerbaijan has inherited more industries and has relatively stable domestic politics. Despite the same rush to exchange black gold for gold, Kazakhstan's oil extraction industry is still relatively level. Coupled with investors from abroad, they are naturally not as easy to talk as Azerbaijan.
Chen Lizheng and his little friends were stunned! Azerbaijan is also a foreign country, and the two looked at each other and asked passionately: "Su Dong has confidence in Azerbaijan's oil fields, can you get it?"
Sioux City also knew what they were doing with their tails. Said lazily: "Dahua Industry has been planning for this for 3 years, so I am naturally confident, and I am not sure if I can get it." β
"It's been planning for three years, and Su Dong is really far-sighted. Chen Lizheng said. He didn't know if what Su Cheng said about three years was true or not, but the sedan chair was carried by everyone. Compliments and no money, he didn't have a word of praise, and for a while he didn't put forward the intention of cooperative mining. After all, people have prepared "3 years", so it's not good to ask for it like this.
Su Cheng didn't want to go around the bend with him, and said directly: "If you are interested, I can help you match the Caspian region, but how to bid depends on yourself, to be honest, Azerbaijan is not quiet internally, there are many foreign enterprises in Kazakhstan, and there is no good match." β
"In that case, why did Su Dong choose Azerbaijan?" Chen Lizheng frowned slightly, feeling that Su Cheng meant to shirk.
Su Cheng pursed his lips and said, "I'm ready to take sides." I have prepared $100 million to support a certain Azerbaijani political leader in his bid for the presidency, and if he succeeds, I will go to Azerbaijan to bid for oil fields, and if he fails, then there is no need to say anything. β
The Aliyev family of Azerbaijan is very famous in the oil world. Like other former Soviet states, Heydar Aliyev was also a senior official in the former Soviet Union, and became a political celebrity after returning home. However, the current president of Azerbaijan is Elichbey of the Popular Front, and if it were not for a military coup, he would have had a chance to sit on the throne of Azerbaijan.
However, as far as Sioux City knows, the Aliyev family lasted for at least two generations, and to Gaidar's son, the Aliyev family remained the rulers of Azerbaijan. Due to the extremely high oil production in the region, the Aliyev family is also destined to be an important member of the world oil circle.
For such a family, Sioux City was deeply impressed when he was studying. Although he did not know the circumstances of the coup d'Γ©tat in Azerbaijan, it did not prevent him from courting Aliyev, who was at a low ebb in his political career.
As early as a few months ago, Su Cheng selected Wang Guan and Li Jianxia, and asked Dong Feng's information bureau to cooperate with them and go to Azerbaijan to fight the front station. Later, Zhang Jianjun of the emerging group was fooled into going to Azerbaijan and asked him to be a witness.
Aliyev is currently idle at home, which is equivalent to a state of going into the wilderness, and with the financial support of Sioux City, there is no reason to refuse. Although Sioux City did not meet with him, he did so by phone and letter, and both of them were clear about their commitments and goals.
What is not certain is when Aliyev will come to power and which plot of land Sioux will choose.
Chen Lizheng was stunned when he heard the $100 million, and said: "The current president of Azerbaijan seems to have just come to power, and you plan to wait for another four years?"
"In terms of the oil development cycle, four years is not too long. "Sioux City won't talk about the coup.
Chen Lizheng and his little friend suddenly hesitated.
After a moment, Chen Lizheng reconfirmed: "Is it really a $100 million gamble?"
"It's not a big gamble, just bid for it at the time. β
Chen Lizheng pursed his lips twice and said, "The oil company can't come up with this money." β
It's not that they don't have money, it's that the use of the money is too beyond the scope of approval by state-owned enterprises. If you want to use money like Sioux City, at least one national leader needs to speak.
His Excellency Chen Lizheng and the current General Manager. How can you have such courage?
The two exchanged small words for a while, and Chen Lizheng spoke: "In this case, I would like to ask Su Dong to introduce Nazarbayev to us." β
They had given up on bidding for oil fields with Sioux City.
Su Cheng was so happy and said with a smile: "No problem, you make an outline, and when I fly to Kazakhstan in a few days, you can go together." β
The two of them regained their joy and nodded their heads again and again, as if the oil field had already arrived.
Su Cheng sighed secretly. Kazakhstan's oil fields are not so good. With the current situation of the general manager of the oil company, I am afraid that it will be difficult to wait for an oil field until retirement.
How can small and medium-sized companies that do not have absolute control compete with behemoths like the Seven Sisters of Oil? The oil company is a behemoth in China, but after leaving China, there is no administrative monopoly. Its teeth are much worse. Basically, the oil company in the international market is equivalent to a toothless old lady, who is not only slow and sluggish, but also eats only by saliva. In the era of the most competitive oil circles in the Caspian Sea, such an old lady has no place.
Chen Lizheng, but they don't feel that their strength is weak. Like most people, they always like to attribute their failures to objective causes. It doesn't matter if there is no way, and it is also one of the reasons why the oil company feels sorry for itself.
Now. Su Cheng promised the way, Chen Lizheng and the general manager were overjoyed, and after the shabu-shabu sent by Donglai Shun came, neither of them needed to be persuaded either. Cheers again and again, drank three bottles of 56 degrees to the bottom, and then sang and left.
The next day, Chen Lizheng's secretary. He solemnly gave a new gift, which was the plot on the side of Chang'an Street that he had seen before. More than 2 acres, that is, 1,500 square meters, can be transferred as long as more than 4 million yuan, which is equivalent to two million per mu.
Even so, Chen Lizheng's secretary was embarrassed to explain: "Because of one building, the price is too low and it is not easy to pass the review." However, we try to leave the things in the annex building as much as possible, and if Su Dong doesn't live by himself, it can be used for office. β
"Is it 3,000 yuan per square meter?" Su Cheng looked at in a daze.
"This, the construction area is actually more than 7,000 square meters. The secretary whispered: "According to the regulations, it is to be sold according to the construction area." β
"Understood. Thank you to Mr. Chen for me. "Sioux City didn't know what kind of emotions to show. The old house in the 80s on the edge of Chang'an Street, what is the value of the building itself.
Seeing that he smiled, the secretary at the door smiled and said, "I will definitely convey it." Mr. Chen also said that if you use a plane, it is very convenient for the head office to charter a flight, and you can explain it one day in advance. β
He handed Sioux a slip before bowing to leave.
In the list are several charter flights owned by AVIC. In 93 years, except for the Russian Taoists who will charter some old cargo planes at the level of World War II, that is, local tyrants like the Oil Corporation, can afford to use charter planes. In the case of high demand, their charter flights are often fixed and can be modified as needed, which is not much different from private jets, except that the aircraft still belong to the airline and are operated by the airline.
Of course, charter flights are more comfortable than the so-called first-class business class, which not only eliminates the trouble of waiting at the airport, but also allows you to customize the route and approximate time. Azerbaijan has few international routes to the country, and there are no from the capital, so charter flights can save a lot of trouble.
The most important thing is that such a charter flight must be paid for by the oil company.
It's another gift.
Su Cheng thought to himself that if Chen Lizheng came to remind him of the matter, he would probably be a little unhappy, but it was impossible to be unhappy if he sent gift packages over and over again and again.
These guys are accurate in touching people's spleens and stomachs.
