Russian Commercial Bank in 1992 had ridiculously high interest rates.

The parity interest rate of the national bank is 110 percent, the interest rate of commercial banks is as high as 220 percent, and the interest of some special projects is increased to 300 percent.

In the name of providing technical guidance, the Chinese banking group set the interest rate at 280 percent for rubles, 20 percent for renminbi, and 10 percent for US dollars.

They don't really have any money reserves, at least they can't afford to buy an oil field. Therefore, during the time when the whole society is borrowing frantically, they do not feel that the interest of 280% is very expensive, and hyperinflation will depreciate the value of the money several times in a year.

However, feeling is one thing, reason is another. Chapter 355 of hyperinflation The Skohler oil field lasted for a long time after all, and it was gradually weakened. This is not the case with bank loans.

Moreover, private commercial banks also have a rather unethical tool at their disposal: the number of compound interest.

The same 280% interest loan of 10,000 yuan, the interest is calculated once a year, and the interest is converted into the principal, and 7.92 million yuan of compound interest will be returned in 5 years, but if the compound interest is calculated once a month, 291 million yuan will be returned after 5 years. The difference between the two is 40 times.

Even hyperinflation can't keep up with crazy compound interest.

Russia's financial oligarchy completely carved up the wealth of the former Soviet Union in 20 years and became a world-class billionaire, using only a few simple and primitive financial means. It is only because of the failure of the country's regulatory system that they have amassed incredible wealth.

But the more primitive the means. The more brutal it is.

Barwell and "" and others expect to become oligarchs, and if they do not complete the accumulation in the first place, they can only endure exploitation.

The two sides knew this, and soon signed a document stipulating that Dahua would help provide technology and funds, whether in rubles, dollars, or renminbi, and eventually all of them would be returned by Barwell and others in the same currency. The collateral is Chapter 355 Skole Oilfield and Oil.

After giving Dahua the first priority to acquire the right, in mid-March, Sioux City took a queue. Arrived at the Tyumen oil fields in a mighty way.

What Barwell bought was a small oil field called the Skole Field. Of course, small oil fields in Russia. In China, it is not small at all, with proven reserves of more than 50 million tons, and only after preliminary exploration. Based on the experience of Sioux City, it is not surprising that another 20 million tons will be discovered by supplementary exploration.

Such reserves, according to international standards, if 2.5% are mined every year, at least 1.5 million tons of crude oil can be recovered a year, which is equivalent to 1,000 barrels of crude oil, and even if it is sold for 30 US dollars a barrel, it will cost 300 million US dollars a year. Such an income for an individual. It's okay to be rich and have three generations of grandchildren.

A real gold mine is not as valuable as this oil well!

Looking at the barren Siberian plains in front of him, Barwell jumped off the SUV, knelt on the ground, and leaned over to kiss the icy hard soil. Charmilles and Stakhanno followed. He buried his head in the dead grass and breathed deeply.

Su Cheng and the others stood aside, and they could understand their feelings very well. In order to obtain this oil field, Barwell must have put in considerable effort.

After a long time, Barwell stood up and said, "Su Dong." Next, it's up to you. ”

"Well, leave it to us. As Su Cheng spoke, he pushed out the man who looked like a black iron tower behind him, and said, "This is Mr. Qin Shiwei, and he will be responsible for the technology in the process of drilling and oil production." In China, Mr. Qin Shiwei has been personally involved in the exploitation of several large oil fields and is very experienced. ”

Qin Shiwei used to be the vice president of the Shengli Oilfield Drilling and Production Research Institute, and later the president. With China's system, he not only participated in the construction of all the oil production projects in the Shengli Oilfield, but was also sent out to help build many projects, and almost every year he had no time to rest, and he was in charge of a 50 million ton oilfield project, which can be said to be extremely easy.

Because of the relationship with Xiao Fat, Qin Shiwei was finally poached by Su Cheng.

However, in front of Qin Shiwei, no boss dared to put on a score, not only because of his status, but also because of his fierce brute meat. When I saw Qin Shiwei, it was easy to think of words like "iron-beaten man". If you use the brain-body upside down here, it is not a problem at all. In the academic world, Qin Shiwei may be regarded as a top scholar if he relies on academic achievements, but if he fights in the ring or something, it must be the first place in the certainty. The small arms and legs of a normal researcher touched Qin Shiwei, maybe a casual collision, and the people next to him would exclaim: "Double kill!"

Even standing in a group of Russians, Qin Shiwei's figure was unusually generous. Watching him guide the placement of equipment in the crowd, Su Cheng patted Chubby's shoulder sympathetically and said, "It's quite a no-place at home." ”

Chubby was puzzled: "How do you know?"

"Your wife is more shrewd than a monkey, your father-in-law is stronger than an orangutan, and your 200 pounds of meat are not explained as much as you want. ”

The little chubby looked at the sky stupidly, and had a feeling of epiphany.

According to the agreement, Barwell and the others have no right to interfere with the technology in the early stage, and Su Cheng only introduced Qin Shiwei at this time, which means a notice.

Barwell shook hands with Qin Shiwei knowingly, said a few words of compliment, and handed over the translator.

Most of the workers were from the former Soviet Union, both Russian and republic, and had to be helped by translators. As for the engineers of the former Soviet Union, some of them have already gone to Occidental Petroleum companies, and some have even opened their own companies.

At this time, the social atmosphere in the former Soviet Union countries was even more monetized than in China a few years ago, not only was it better to make missiles than to sell tea and eggs, but now it is impossible to make missiles. The Americans do not allow it!

As a result, the brightest minds either go to work in foreign research institutes or make money in business. Among the "seven oligarchs" of Russia in later generations, Berezovsky was an academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, a quite outstanding mathematician, and went into exile after his personal wealth swelled to 97th in the world.

Barwell did his best to recruit some Soviet experts, but it was the Occidental oil companies that picked the rest. Sioux City didn't care. Oil is a very open world, and everything speaks in terms of salary. If Dahua Industrial offered a high salary, and German experts would also use it for it, and if they could not offer a high salary, Soviet experts would naturally go to work in high-paying enterprises.

In contrast, Sioux City would rather cultivate Dahua's own team. Although there will be a certain amount of mobility, the cooperation and tacit understanding between Chinese engineers will be much better.

And. China and the Soviet Union have not interacted with each other for nearly 20 years, and there are clear differences in oil extraction technology between the two sides. Since Sioux City wants to use its own set, it is not ready to recruit those ordinary Soviet specialists. In fact. Oil companies in other countries are doing the same. Each company has its own corporate culture and technical approach, and unless it is a Soviet expert, it takes a difficult process to integrate. Soviet experts who can't fit in or don't want to fit in can only act as a footnote to the collapse of the Soviet Union, staying in the bottom right corner of the screen in the form of hidden bosses such as gatekeepers.

Rumbling bulldozers, cranes, and trucks struggled to slide off the muddy dirt road and began to work their way forward. The Soviet Union invested a lot in the development of Siberia, and the main purpose was to obtain Siberia's oil resources, and the corresponding engineering vehicles and so on were also quite improved.

Qin Shiwei spread out the drawings on the front cover of the off-road vehicle, first determined a few flat positions, and then said to Barwell: "Heavy equipment can enter." ”

Barwell understood. Notify me immediately by telegraph.

It didn't take long to see two huge military helicopters, hanging huge generator sets, flying into the sky.

The closer you get, the louder the helicopter will be. The sheer size is also revealed.

If it was hoisting other things, there would be no such obvious references, but it was clearly two generator sets weighing more than ten tons, which suddenly made many people look stupid.

The two helicopters moved through the air as if they were two villas.

"It's ...... How can there be such a big helicopter?"

"Mi-26 helicopter with a maximum load of 20 tons. It's about the same as a large transport plane. Barwell smiled smugly and said, "Our family has some capabilities in the military, so we borrowed two military helicopters. The Mi-26 was originally available for civilian use, but it was leased out by foreign oil companies, and we had to borrow it from the military for temporary use. When developing the Mi-26, the needs of the full-scale development of Siberia were taken into account, requiring all-weather capabilities. It's often used in oil field development and oil drilling, well, conveniently. ”

"So, what's hanging under it is really a rocket nest?" Xiao Fat didn't wait for him to answer, he hurriedly took out his camera, handed it to Su Cheng, and shouted: "Master, quick, help me take pictures, I want to take pictures of the rocket nest." ”

Su Cheng reluctantly complied, pressed the shutter, and said: "These two planes are going to help us transport a lot of things, if you are interested, you can take the plane to the train yard to supervise the lifting of equipment over there." ”

"Really?"

Sioux City nodded, and Barwell also nodded and smiled, "I'll just say it to the pilot." ”

As he spoke, the world's largest helicopter slowly hovered over the construction site.

Workers rushed up and directed the planes to place the generator sets in the circled positions.

Don't look at it, it took more than 1 hour to put a device, and everyone who watched it was sweating profusely. In this process, it was the Soviets who played a leading role. Their oil department has always used the best equipment in the Soviet Union, not only with helicopters, but also with nuclear bombs, airdrops, and high-explosive equipment.

After the equipment was hoisted, Barwell said a word on the walkie-talkie, and saw the leading helicopter lower a rope.

Chubby had a sense of foreboding.

Barwell took advantage of the situation and pushed it, and said with a smile: "The construction site is inconvenient to land, and the above will pull you up." ”

Halfway through the translation, the chubby's eyes straightened, and he looked at Su Cheng for help, and said, "I'm so heavy, I'll swell the flesh." ”

Su Cheng persuaded: "Military helicopters, walking through this village, there will be no such shop." ”

Xiaopang gritted his teeth: "I'm willing to cut my body." It's swollen, it's swollen. ”

In the midst of cheers and cries for help, the little fat who was tied up was pulled onto a helicopter dozens of meters high.

At the time, he was a little happy.

The next day, he regretted it.

Because there is another opportunity to take a helicopter. Actually, more than once.

Throughout March, the Skoller field was under rapid construction, and helicopters flew around two or three times a day...... rs！！！
