"I will then announce the final results of the No. 7 oil field...... "Aliyev father and son, also thinking about Sioux City, followed up with the launch of a new oil block, which diverted everyone's attention.

Most people, as expected, turned their eyes back to the stage, it is useless to think about the lost oil block, and the bid of 320 million US dollars will only be a topic for everyone to talk about in the future, whether they make money or lose or even, it has nothing to do with them.

It is the remaining 6 oil fields, which amused the representatives of various companies.

Su Cheng exhaled softly, stood up as if no one was around, twisted his waist, and smiled at everyone: "It's time to prepare, early tomorrow morning, the exploration ship will go to the No. 6 oil block." ”

Dahua now has a subordinate Dahua shipbuilding industry, and all types of ships are fully equipped, even if they cannot manufacture them themselves, the purchase price and cost are quite low. It is also easy to prepare an ocean exploration vessel with a daily rent of tens of thousands of dollars in advance.

Zhang Chao and the others were a little surprised, thinking: The bidding meeting is not over yet, why are you in such a hurry?

Su Cheng was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Aren't you tired after sitting for a day? Go back and eat and drink, take a rest, and be busy tomorrow." If we stay at the scene, we won't be able to help, and I'll leave the rest to the members of the company's group. ”

His voice was not loud, and representatives of companies such as Fina, Presol and Petrobras sat in front of him and could hear him.

Several people had communicated with Su Cheng before, and said hopefully at this time: "Please leave the affairs in the venue to us, and outside the venue, please worry about Su Dong." ”

Qin Yun suddenly realized and immediately looked at Su Cheng.

The main bidding task of Dahua Industrial has been completed, and the remaining five bids are all decided by the four company groups, which cannot be changed. Rather than stay in the conference room, Sioux City should go outside the venue and look for some opportunities.

Just like the way Dahua Industrial acquired the No. 6 oil field, if it can get Aliyev's consent. Even if the conditions are slightly worse, it is possible to win the bid.

Representatives of Repsol and other companies have asked Sioux City for a long time, but Sioux City has never agreed because he wants to go all out to attack the No. 6 oil field.

Now that the No. 6 oil field is basically in hand, Sioux City doesn't mind trying again.

Representatives of the other three companies are now more aware of the value of Sioux City – the ability to compete as an independent company for oil lumps in a low-cost, high-contract model that is not easy in any country.

Take advantage of the time that has passed in Sioux City. Representatives of the three companies also whispered that they would keep their previous commitments.

As early as in the process of the company's share negotiations, there was a "special contribution" that if Sioux City could help them salvage a situation that might have nothing and pay a little more shares, the three companies would be happy.

Sioux City smiled harmlessly. Picking up the jacket from the chair, he walked out of the venue.

Occasionally, a few people noticed his movements, but most kept their eyes on the front. The No. 7 oilfield was eventually owned by Exxon, with a share ratio of 64.6% and a total contract value of 52 million, which was originally considered to be a high value of 65% and 50 million in signing money. It is appearing again and again in today's meeting, and as a result, the company representatives, who were originally full of confidence, have also begun to become nervous.

Companies that really want to bid for success. No company will be without PR expenses, expecting to be amazing in their creativity, or strong in capital without PR and successful company representatives. Either they are young and naïve, or they are simply outsiders.

The history of foreign bidding by Chinese oil companies is a living example. Since the 90s. Three barrels of oil have not been less than an attempt at foreign bidding, which in most cases is more likely to be treated as a political task, that is, traditionally at all costs. However, the repeated failure of the task of acquiring foreign oil fields at all costs makes it understandable how difficult it is to bid for public relations.

Of course, the huge capital operation of the oil industry is also one of the enemies of China's national oil companies. If other industries waste millions of dollars at all costs, just for a political task, it is still beyond the capacity of state-owned enterprises. In the oil industry, millions or even tens of millions of dollars have to be paid at a price.

At the end of the 90s, in the coming wave of mergers in the energy industry, tens of billions of dollars will no longer be unusual.

And tens of billions of dollars is something that today's state-owned enterprises dare not think of.

That is, it has really reached an era where tens of billions of dollars can be wasted, and China's national oil companies have the capital to complete their political tasks at all costs.

As for now, the companies only hate the lack of preparation before the bid, and can only face the departure of Sioux City and the change of hands of the No. 7 oil field.

Sioux City failed to meet Aliyev, but did contact his staff, a bearded Georgian and a fellow Stalinist countryman.

The Georgians conveyed Aliyev's congratulations on Dahua Industrial's winning bid, but politely rejected Dahua's request for the company's delegation.

Su Cheng didn't care, the output of one oil field in Aqijiu was more than the remaining 10 oil fields, not to mention, these 10 oil fields may have exploration failures.

Even so, the 11 oil fields must be divided among hundreds of companies, which must be uneven. BP has the full support of the British Labour Party, and it is the formation of a number of corporate groups, so that there is a basis for more to eat and more, such as Dahua Industrial, a company of this size, in a capitalist country, to obtain a few more oil fields, maybe it will be forcibly bought by a large consortium.

By the end of the 90s, even a huge company like the Elf Group was inevitably merged, such as a company the size of Dahua Industrial, which had extremely weak resistance in the face of giant elephants.

The Georgian looked at Sioux City's expression, and secretly made a judgment in his heart, until Sioux City was about to say goodbye and leave, he touched his beard and said with a smile: "By the way, Your Excellency the President asked me to tell you, and he also prepared a gift for you." ”

"Gifts?"

"The signing fee of $320 million is a big burden. After thinking about it, His Excellency Aliyev decided that he would subsidize the first three oil-producing oil fields. The Georgian smiled and continued: "The production of the first year, with a subsidy of 50 cents per barrel, can be deducted from the share. ”

Aliyev wants companies to develop oil fields as soon as possible, because the only place in the whole of Azerbaijan where you can get big money is oil. And he was in a hurry to use the money.

Not every company gets an oil field and develops it right away. Because the cost of drilling is extremely high, by the mid-90s, usually in the tens of millions, oil companies had to increase their geological surveys on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also had to consider the financials and the company's share price. Therefore, just like a real estate company may not necessarily get land to develop and build, an oil company may not necessarily get an oil field to explore and develop.

However, the subsidy of 50 cents per barrel is not small. Based on the minimum profit scale of the oil field, with an annual output of 10 million barrels, Aliyev is equivalent to selling at least three oil fields of 5 million US dollars.

If the production is high enough, reaching 20 or 30 million barrels, this money will naturally be doubled.

Considering that it is just a reward. This kind of price is already a lot, and it can be called sincere.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said, "If Dahua Industry can get the subsidy, it can indeed be regarded as a good gift." ”

"With Dahua Industrial's preparation, it is not difficult to get this gift. But...... Please pay the contract fee on time. The Georgian smiled, and his tone was more serious than sarcastic.

It is true that the revenue from the oil share is as little as one year. It will take two or three years to fall into the hands of Aliyev, and this gap period will all depend on the signing money.

Azerbaijan is a small country. With the remnants of the Soviet army and equipment, as well as bloated civil servants and partisan ranks, plus the threat of war and the need for construction that is in ruins, the basic needs alone are not young and old. Counting on the signing money of 11 oil blocks to live. It's actually tough. One of the reasons why Sioux City agreed to the bid with a high signing fee and a low share was the pressure of reality.

China in the 80s was a typical country with a lack of foreign investment. There are basically more than 5 billion US dollars of foreign exchange earnings every year. Azerbaijan receives hundreds of millions of dollars from cotton, and its oil revenues are only a few hundred million dollars, which is not enough to break a penny into four parts.

Therefore, despite many misgivings, Aliyev relied on the will of Sioux City to hand over the No. 6 oil block to Dahua Industrial, which is a typical person with poor ambition - he did not know how many years he could be president, how could he refuse 300 million US dollars.

In the future, the Caspian oil producing countries with deep pockets, let alone 300 million US dollars, 3 billion US dollars will not blink. At that time, oil-producing countries did not even need to solicit oil companies in the sharing agreement, and they had the ability to develop oil themselves, but they were not even willing to sign the sharing agreement.

Su Cheng would not rely on the account of the signing money, so he smiled and said: "The signing fee will be paid on time." ”

"Please start raising now, $320 million is a lot of money, don't affect the signing at that time. The Georgians were smiling.

"The signing will take place today. The signing fee is said to be paid within the month......"

"If you pay early, everyone will feel at ease. The Georgian saw that Su Cheng's face was not good, smiled softly, and said, "It would be better to put the prepared funds into the account first." ”

"I see. ”

"Remember. "The Georgians didn't care about his coldness and were bent on getting the job done.

Sioux Cheng reluctantly said goodbye and left, and had a new understanding of Stalin's fellow countrymen.

Back in the rented office building, there was already a sea of jubilation.

Ordinary Dahua employees are not like Zhang Chao, they think a lot, in their opinion, getting the oil field is a victory, and the hard work of many days has been rewarded.

The same is true of the fact that the efforts of thousands of people are all reflected in this moment, and it is impossible to overcelebrate.

Sioux City didn't bother with the spontaneous celebration, but quietly entered the office from the other end, sorting out the information and bringing in the heads of several departments.

Since there is a barrel of oil subsidy, it is natural that the sooner you find oil, the better.

Not long after he got busy, Yang Ming, who was looking for people everywhere, rushed back and whispered in Su Cheng's ear, "Your classmate is here." ”

"Who?"

"I claim to be Liu Jianguo, and my employer is the State Council, and I want to understand the situation. ”
