Chapter 569: The Bidding Begins

The hall where the celebration was held was lit up until 3 a.m., and the number of people gradually decreased. However, instead of resting, everyone just moved to the hotel and continued to negotiate.

Such a good opportunity, if you don't strike while the iron is hot, it will be too amateurish. As for sleeping or something, it has always been the object of this group of people's abandonment.

Sioux City also went to the People's Iron Hotel in Baku with his eyelids, and the French who arrived first chose the hotel's bar as a place for negotiations. So, a group of people crammed the bar into an office as quickly as they could, using tools, tools, long-distance telephones and computers as quickly as possible.

Even better than the office is that the bartender will speak "hello" level English and add vodka to anyone who wants clean water.

The People's Hotel of Steel is also one of the best hotels in Baku, and at one time they were able to offer the best Soviet red-card vodka for Azerbaijani high-ranking officials and their children. Now, the Soviet Red Label has long since ended its supply, and the Green Card has not been able to achieve sufficient quantities, and high-end hotels have begun to sell vodka from Sweden and France, which is more in line with European tastes.

In a bar where a small glass of vodka can be sold for $20 or even $50, no matter how expensive the foreign vodka is, the owner will try his best to get it.

Foreigners who dine and drink here don't care about $20 or $50, they want to be more expensive so that Azerbaijani officials can feel their enthusiasm for the price.

Feener's Kronso poured himself a cup of coffee and a cup of vodka, and then put forward a negotiation motion: "Since Dahua Industrial needs cash, then I think the best way is to reduce the capital contribution, and if you reduce the proportion of capital contribution, the cash required will naturally be less......"

"We're not short of cash, we just want to get as many loans as possible. The opportunities in China are good, in addition, Chinese banks lack foreign currency, and we can only get dollar loans from foreign banks...... But!" Qin Yun, who had only slept for three hours, as Zhang Chao's deputy, opened his eyes wide, and argued: "If we reduce the proportion of shares for the sake of loans, then we would rather not take out loans." Oh, let me put it this way, we don't mind lowering our contributions. As long as the shares remain the same, we will reduce our capital contribution as much as you are willing to let us reduce......"

"Ooo, younglady...... "The Brazilian shook his Latina ass and said with fun, "though I know you said a joke." But I have to contradict you. What we ask is that your shareholding ratio can be reduced, but the capital contribution ratio cannot be reduced, haha. ”

"We're talking about the same thing, and it seems like we're on the same page. The shrewd and capable Qin Yun rose and fell, touched the Brazilian hard, and handed it over to the staff behind him. Ordered: "Drink." ”

Turning his head, Qin Yun continued to raise his voice in English: "We can reduce the proportion of capital contribution to one or two oil fields, if we can get a long-term loan of two billion dollars at low interest for this......

"Wow...... Two billion dollars in low-interest long-term loans, unless you're reducing the expected share of the oil field......"

"Of course it can't be the expected oil field, unless you can get a loan of tens of billions of dollars. ”

"Tens of billions of dollars in loans. Unless you drastically reduce the share of oil fields across the board......" Kronso laughed, "I don't think you want to." ”

"Then let's talk about the share again, and put aside the loan in advance. ”

Kronesau took a small step back and smiled, "That's too much trouble." It's all come to this. ”

"That's what we want. ”

"It was as we asked. ”

"Looks like we've agreed again, cheers. Qin Yun raised his glass again. After touching the Brazilian, he turned his head and handed it to the Dahua employee behind him again, and said, "Drink." ”

The employee looked at her stupidly, probably because Qin Yun's usual stern impression played a role, and after a few seconds of looking at each other, he obediently smothered the vodka in the cup, and licked his spicy tongue to his neck.

Su Cheng sighed and said, "It's not the roar of the Hedong lion, it's the Hedong dragon." ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Little Fat said with sleepy eyes: "We only slept at 1 o'clock at night, and we were called up at 3 o'clock, I was sleepy like this, she was still energetic to bite, not a dragon?"

"Have you become bold enough to arrange her beside your wife?"

"She's not busy talking. ”

"You probably don't know that dragons have ears. Su Cheng laughed twice.

The little fat couldn't open his eyes, leaned on the table, and said with a smile: "You said that it was a dragon, the body is big, the ears are small, and you can't hear clearly." ”

Su Cheng laughed, then pointed to the back.

Xiaopang was horrified to find that Qin Yun didn't know when, he stood behind, with his back to time, as if there was a huge tail flicking.

The coach at the negotiation table has become Zhang Chao again, still discussing the details with a quick mouth.

The Spaniard was the first to relent, saying: "You give us 5% of the shares from No. 1 to No. 5, and we will bear the 5% investment, and at the same time, we will find a few banks to get a loan of about 1 billion US dollars, and the time and interest rate are determined by the bank's people." ”

Repsol is one of Spain's leading oil companies, and like any country's major oil companies, Repsol has both a bank shareholder and a stake in the bank, and with their large sums of cash and loans, it is easy to introduce a large client.

Zhang Chao nodded secretly, this has actually reached Dahua's bottom line, but he will definitely continue to fight, and said: "I can't determine the time limit and interest rate, 35%. ”

"Plus No. 6 oil block, 35%" is the usual method of the Brazilians, who keep increasing the oil block to negotiate, obviously aiming for a big goal.

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "I forgot to say, No. 6 oil block, Dahua Industry is ready to bid independently." ”

"Independent bid for No. 6 oil block? Okay, your choice. The representative of the Brazilian company shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then add the No. 7 oil field and count it at 35 percent......

When Sioux City heard this, he was already very satisfied,

Subsequently, Petrobras and Finer also submitted their own independent bids. In fact, it's better than nothing, their strength is not sufficient, and it is not like Dahua Industry has foreshadowing in advance, and it is really insufficient to bid for a super oilfield alone. In fact, the most correct strategy for obtaining super oil fields is to join forces, such as four large oil companies. The acquisition of 4 oil fields is equivalent to the acquisition of 1 complete oil field in terms of equity. To some extent, acquiring a 25% interest in each of the four fields may be better than acquiring 100% of the oil fields in one field.

Of course, a consortium of companies such as Dahua Industrial, France's Fina, and Petrobras can jointly obtain an oil field. In addition to the Azijiu oil field, there are several oil fields of more than 100,000 tons released by Azerbaijan this time.

In some cases, a consortium of four companies such as Dahua may again join other consortiums in the bidding. The oil fields controlled by Company 9 or Company 11 were originally created in this way.

9 a.m. The bartender, who hadn't slept all night, brought breakfast.

Zhang Chao and the others stopped the fierce confrontation and rested a little. Little Fat had red eyes, bit the bread fiercely, and said, "How long will this negotiation take? If it goes on like this, I will have to lose weight." ”

"Did they affect your sleep?" Sioux Cheng was also sleepy, barely keeping his eyes open.

Chubby sighed: "Every time my wife goes back from overtime, or she is too dedicated to work." If that's it, I'm not going to be able to live in peace. ”

Su Cheng looked at Qin Yun, who was still excited, nodded understandingly, and said, "Understood." Just hold on for a little longer. ”

"How long is a period of time?" said Chubby's grimacing face.

"One month ......"

"It's okay for a month!"

"I'm not done. One month is the end of the bidding, followed by negotiations on the construction period. The procurement of equipment and materials also needs to be negotiated......"

"How long will that take?"

"Half a year or a year...... But ......"

The little chubby's face was wrinkled and slender, and he asked in horror, "But what?"

"Still. There will be other negotiations in the future. Su Cheng pursed his lips helplessly and said, "Qin Yun's own department." If you remember. ”

The little chubby face tightened and fainted.

Su Cheng hurriedly put his finger under his nose, and although his breathing seemed to be nothing, he was snoring.

On the other hand, negotiations with the Chinese side represented by Dahua Industrial, the Ministry of Finance of Azerbaijan and Liu Minghao have also begun.

There are still many steps to be taken to convert the corporate loan into a state loan, and in order for Aliyev to recognize the validity of the loan, it must be negotiated. Not only that, but it is essentially illegal to transfer a corporate loan to China and then to Azerbaijan as a valid state loan.

It's just that no one cares.

Even the China National Petroleum Corporation, when they heard about this, secretly came to the door. Lin Yonggui was embarrassed to take a piece of the pie from the consortium of Dahua Industrial, but he still wanted to try his luck in Azerbaijan.

Just like many small and medium-sized oil companies, if you can't be an oil development company, you can always be an oil service company.

Of course, the scale of the China National Petroleum Corporation is not small, and if you judge by the number of people, it can be regarded as the largest oil company in the world. However, around 1993, the Petroleum Corporation was a pure domestic monopoly, and its foreign business department was small and weak, not to mention that it was on a par with BP with nearly 100,000 people, and Dahua Industrial, which had nearly 10,000 employees in the foreign affairs department, was beyond their reach.

In terms of drilling and other technical levels, the accumulation of China National Petroleum Corporation is good, which is also the basis for them to always find oil service contracts. However, to participate in oilfield negotiations, the oil company with the atmosphere of state-owned enterprises is completely inadequate. It's just the negotiation in front of you, and it falls in the working environment of the oil company to ask for instructions and ask for instructions, and there is no one year to talk about it. Those senior leaders who have the power to make decisions will not go deep into the front-line negotiation arena like Sioux City, because the front-line is prone to mistakes, and the cost of mistakes is too great.

Compared with private companies that pursue profits, the ultimate goal of state-owned enterprises is simply not to make mistakes.

A week after the chaos.

Sakhbar, on behalf of the Ministry of State Oil of Azerbaijan, announced the start of the bidding for the oil field.

Similar to most contemporary oil field bidding, Azerbaijan has opted for the form of secret bidding, which also heralds the peak of black-box operations.
