Chapter 354: Gold Digging and Selling Jeans
―― The convoy carrying the Bank of China went to Mount Lenin, southwest of Moscow, and stopped near the observation deck.
Lenin Hill is the highest point of Moscow, although it is only 220 meters, it overlooks the Moscow River and the city of Moscow, the observation deck is directly opposite Moscow University, and you can see the Central Stadium of Moscow.
The Central Stadium was the main stadium of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games and the newest and largest stadium in the Moscow region. Many Muscovites climbed Mount Lenin just to see it.
Today's corner of the observation deck was stopped, and before it got there, a banner was hung up, "Maintenance: Chapter 354 Prohibits the Passage of Gold Mining and Jeans Selling". But when Su Cheng and the others got out of the car, several Russian beauties greeted them warmly, grabbed Su Cheng and the others respectively, and hugged them to the viewing platform.
Tall and straight, Russian beauties, with short buttocks and slender legs like compasses, generous and flattering, immediately made people full of interest in the banquet. A few "bankers" who had just gotten out of the car instantly became nimble.
On the observation deck, long tables and food are already filled, and there are expensive champagne waiting to be drunk.
A vote of Russians, dressed in uniform-like suits, lined up on both sides to welcome them. The most mature of them looked only about thirty years old, and Su Cheng thought to himself: Sure enough, it's the Communist Youth League Chamber of Commerce!
"This is Barwell of Akław. Sikong Guan was the first to deal with them, and at this time, as an intermediary, introduced them one by one: "This is Stakhanno of Viteks Company." ”
"This is Shamil of the Grushko company. ”
When talking about the third person, Gu Hongjun laughed inexplicably.
"What's wrong?" Su Cheng looked at curiously.
"I couldn't help it. Gu Hongjun held back a smile and said: "This person's name, he is from various diner companies, this is not a food delivery, it looks really similar." ”
Shamilles Chapter 354 The gold mine digger and jeans seller is 1.8 meters tall, which is about the same size as Gu Hongjun.
However, because the members of the "Chinese" banking syndicate are generally of low stature, he deliberately bends down so as not to make the other party uncomfortable. These are all stunts he practiced in the Communist Youth League, and ordinary people can't find them if they don't pay attention to them.
Gu Hongjun's job is to look at the six roads, and he noticed Charmille's small movements at a glance, and then listened to their introduction, and his ugly face smiled into a bitter chrysanthemum.
Su Cheng and the others saw that they were really suspected of delivering food, and they all laughed.
Charmille's eyes widened, whether the other party was talking about himself or not, it was just a strong laugh, but it turned the serious atmosphere into a relaxed atmosphere.
Akław, Vitekes, and Grushko, among the Russian companies that missed the first wave of startups, have distanced themselves from the fastest and smoothest private companies. By this time, future financial oligarchs such as Smolensky had already founded the Capital Sberbank, Gusinsky, the goose shopkeeper, had also founded the Bridge Bank, and Khodorkovsky was doing a prosperous business. Companies like Grushko, by contrast, have only just made their first pot of gold, so in order to make a lot of money in the next wave of privatization, they will have to get capital injections from foreign banks to stand up to the domestic financial oligarchy.
The demand of these Communist Youth League chambers of commerce for Dahua Industry and the Bank of China can be seen from the meticulousness of the banquet.
So, don't say that people are telling jokes themselves, it's just pulling them to tell jokes" "Comrades can't help it.
Charmilles, Bavel and Stakhanno, one greeted a Chinese, and the rest were made up with beautiful Komsomol beauties, and the scene was very happy.
The viewing platform on Mount Lenin is one of Moscow's most famous attractions, and it's a beautiful thing to stand here and enjoy caviar and vodka alone, as well as a rare French champagne.
Everyone got acquainted with each other for a while, and Barwell, who seemed to be the most old-fashioned, came to Sioux City, greeted him twice, and said: "Chairman Su, we heard that your Dahua Industry has a large number of patents in oil exploitation and has its own oil field in the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East?"
"That's right. ”
"It's amazing. Barwell cocked his thumb and said in an admiring tone, "I don't know, if we want to develop oil, what preparations are needed?"
"Money, technology, political resources, and a large number of skilled workers, and finally, a firm conviction. Sioux replied casually, shoving a piece of caviar-coated bread into his mouth and gently squashing them with his tongue.
The Komsomol beauty next to her was tall and lovely, handed him champagne with a smile and motioned him to drink it.
The wine is mixed with the fishy smell of roe, and it really has a different world.
Barwell waited until he had enjoyed enough, and then he said carefully: "We have a certain relationship, we can buy an oil field in the Tyumen oil field, I think, the political resources are abundant." In terms of skilled workers, we are going to use the original workers in the oil fields, who have now lost their jobs, and it should be easy to recruit. Of course, we all have a strong belief that right now, all we lack is money and technology. The Tyumen oil fields were shut down for some time and needed to be reinvested in order to resume production. We've done the preliminary work, and now we can turn it into a constant stream of vaults by simply injecting money. To you and your bank, with a massive return. ”
When he heard about the Tyumen oil field, Su Cheng's brows jumped lightly twice, and he said: "It is very risky to inject capital into the oil field...... What do you guys think?"
"We asked some experts and made some simple predictions. We believe that with about $50 million of capital injection, an oil field can be put back to work. Once the oil is sold for a profit, it will take up to three years to recoup the cost of 50 million yuan. "You want to borrow $50 million from a consortium of Chinese banks?" asked Su Cheng intently.
Barwell smiled and said with confidence: "If you are willing to inject $50 million, we are willing to sell 50% of the shares to you." Akław, Vitekes, and Grushko accounted for the remaining 50%. The three of us have already raised a considerable amount of funds, and there are some old equipment, as long as some necessary additions are made, the construction time can be very fast. ”
Charmilles and Staxano also came over at this time.
They were fairly confident that Sioux City would agree to inject capital in exchange for shares.
Of course, how many shares will be in the end still need to be discussed.
Taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Dahua Industrial is not the only foreigner competing for oil and gas in the former Soviet Union with US dollars. In the Russian parlance, Westerners who want to buy at a low price can go around Red Square three times.
And that's when they didn't think about Asian customers.
Barwell and others also took advantage of this wave and surged the idea of making oil. For other businesses, they are not sure that they will get a lot of money, and for the oil business, the chances of getting money are much higher.
However, compared with those financial oligarchs who have become famous, the strength of Barwell and others is much inferior.
Sioux City fell into deep thought.
The Tyumen Oilfield refers to an oil area since its discovery in 1961, and a series of large oil fields have been discovered, with recoverable reserves of 7 billion tons, which is 40% more than the Daqing Oilfield discovered in the same period, and there is exactly one more 2.8 billion tons of complete oilfield Somertrol. It is also one of the few super oil fields in the world.
However, there are also more large oil fields in the world. Sioux City won't be impressed by every oil field.
He remembered that the Tyumen oil fields were not only because of the proximity of Siberia to China, but also because of the pits in the Tyumen oil fields. Around 2003, Russia nationalized the Tyumen oil fields and used various means to force BP away, and they only received $690 million in compensation. For an oil field with reserves of 7 billion tons, this is just interest money.
So what about the three small companies in front of you, regardless of their backgrounds, are they capable of supporting a Tyumen oil field?
Su Cheng thought only for a moment, and then gave a negative answer.
At that time, BP cooperated with the former Soviet Union's First Deputy Minister of Oil and Gas. And the oil and gas sector has always been the leader of the Soviet economy. People with a higher status than this may not be able to gain a foothold in the Yeltsin government. In other words, the guy behind Barwell is not as good as BP's collaborators.
Sioux City doesn't need to look at himself to know the gap between Dahua Industrial and BP, which is still far away like two creatures.
With this in mind, Sioux City suddenly lost confidence in acquiring a stake in an oil field in the Tyumen oil region.
He quickly made a decision: "If you can really get the oil field, you can use the oil field as collateral to borrow money from the [Chinese] bank group." We will not consider the acquisition of shares for the time being. ”
"You don't want to extract oil in Russia?" Barwell said in surprise: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Maybe, but I'd like to wait. Su Cheng made up his mind, and his tone became resolute.
Taking advantage of the time of translation, Sikong Guan pulled Su Cheng and said: "You really don't want the oil field? I've heard that a lot of foreign oil companies are coming. ”
Su Cheng said: "If they are really interested, they will not stop coming." You can notify if you want, but I declare in advance, I am not optimistic about Russian oil fields. ”
"Why?"
"It is possible to be nationalized. ”
"How could it be, they have been fully Westernized, and private property is sacrosanct or something......"
"The Soviet Union has ruled for so long, how can it be said that it will turn around, especially for politicians, will he let his power disappear?" Su Cheng said this, and said: "In short, if you want to inform PetroChina, you must first state my position and suggestions." ”
"Understood. Sikong Guan didn't take it seriously, turned his head and said, "Then, you can only take out a loan?"
"Well, after the loan, we have more leeway. After Su Cheng finished speaking, he turned to Shamilles and the others and asked, "How are you thinking about it?"
Barwell said disappointedly: "Although the loan is good, but ...... Our solvency is still relatively limited, and the technical aspect is ......"
"Dahua Industrial will give you technical guidance. However, it depends on whether you can get oil fields, and in addition, in this form of loans, we will mainly use equipment and yuan, and foreign exchange will only be given when necessary. Su Cheng turned his head, and there was already a candidate.
Barwell and the others couldn't see through Sioux City's choice, but became more and more respectful, and when they talked about terms such as interest, they were also very easy to talk about.
At the exchange rate of the ruble at this time, the profit for a year is only a lot more than oil production.
If you take into account the time of production, the profit of such a loan will only be higher.
Sikong Guan couldn't care about the beauties around him, took out the pen and paper he carried, wrote down a few numbers, and quickly calculated.
After a while, he whispered to Su Cheng: "You said that there are many oil fields that need funds? If you only use 10 years as the benchmark, this model is very profitable." ”
Su Cheng said proudly: "Those who dig gold don't necessarily make more money than those who make jeans." ”!!!
