Chapter 273: Buying an Oil Field

Chu Hua and these security guards hibernated for a long time, because he had to hide his identity as a member of the Chinese embassy because he wanted to act in this play. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but he doesn't have to act on the new journey, because the brother and sister can't hold it back. It's really uncomfortable not to speak home, and it was Petrov himself who hit it the hardest.

The exposure was revealed before the departure for the destination, and the brother and sister had already taken off their Mongolian robes and revealed their true identities directly to Petrov.

What is this called, isn't this doing business in the name of the Republic of Tuva? How these two children are actually Chinese. "You have set a precedent by doing this, and no Chinese businessman in Russia has ever been involved in the energy industry." He replied coldly, describing his dissatisfaction.

So what options do you have now? We have been partners with Mr. Pugachev for many years, and he is now the Minister of Energy of Tuva, which is a small republic within the federation and the country has a certain degree of sovereignty. Da Ming replied wittily, in the event of such a thing, just bring Pugachev up.

"Petrov, please get in the car, we will continue to invest, we are still partners."

"No, no, no, this can't happen. If it is known from above that I am working with Chinese businessmen on this, the NSA people will get me down. ”

The car stopped departing because of this incident, and Petrov was at a loss for a while. Star fruit knows that Russia has long been reluctant to involve foreign companies in its energy sector. As for what to do, Petrov thought of the simplest way, and it also represented the simplest and crude way for the Russians to deal with things. "If you want, you can buy all the oil fields, and you can handle the rest of the matter."

"Of course it's fine!" Star fruit was overjoyed, originally in order to hurry up the oil production to bend the knee to cooperate with the merchants in the Qiulin oil depot area, now he wants to give up all this, why not do it?

The three people on the spot did not have any objections, Pugachev was not afraid of the NSA's gang, wasn't it the KGB, no matter how much they cared about Tuva's affairs, unless Tuva planned to secede from the Russian Federation. Even in his absolute absoluteness, if he hadn't made his attitude clear and still held the flag of Tuva, maybe many people didn't even know about the existence of Tuva.

Tuva's economy is too poor, and if it breaks away from the federation, it will face a series of disasters, so it has not stood on its own in the tide of disintegration, and since the first Chechen war began, these small republics have realized that in just a few years, they will not be as free as those CIS countries, and the Russian army, which has really declared independence or something, will really come bigger.

But Tuva has extremely complicated feelings about the Chinese, this is Tangnu Ulianghai, just a few decades ago it was the legal territory of China, which was completely forcibly occupied by the Soviet Union.

There is no need to say anything grandiose here, the current thing is to take down the oil fields. Petrov named his price, four million dollars.

"Forty million, don't you think you think your lion is opening her mouth?" Pugachev asked sharply.

"I think it's worth the price, I have workers there, I have a complete production chain, you don't have to start from scratch when you buy it. Two hundred kowtow machines and two hundred thousand dollars a hundred thousand dollars, no matter how you think about it, it's worth it. ”

Pugachev had a great deal of responsibility, and he had in his hands 50 million of the state funds of the Republic of Tuva, which was not to be taken lightly for the benefit of his homeland.

"The price is negotiable, but if I get in the car then you have to buy it, 40 million dollars is already very cheap." The stalemate and the three had to compromise, and the star fruit expected that this would be a sky-high asking price at most, and there would be no problem if he didn't buy it when he got to the oil field, but he would basically accept it.

Petrov's oil fields are located in Kutabitka, a small city of 20,000 people, which had a larger population, but the surrounding oil fields have closed down or are operating poorly, and large numbers of workers have fled, while some have survived for meager wages.

The withering of the economy is reflected in many ways, even if the amount of oil production increases, but the ancillary industries such as transportation and oil refining are sluggish, then the more oil is produced, the more money will be lost. This is the current situation in Kutabitka, just sitting in the car you can see some beggars on the side of the road, these people with vicissitudes on their faces and their wrinkles are due to the stumbling of the past, maybe they are also oil workers, but now they are unemployed.

Many people don't know what they are living for, and living is living, and unemployed workers still have to live, and the same situation is happening in China at the same time. But obviously the situation is even more serious for Russia, at least China has just detonated a great economic development, and if it can't survive, it will go to the south to work. And Russia is not, Moscow is unable to provide replacement jobs, and a very large number of poor people dare to do anything to eat.

Petrov noted that people here are eager for a well-paying job, but the surrounding oil fields are not very good. The car went around Petrov's oil field directly according to his request, and star fruit and Daming also knew about it.

In any case, Petrov still had to be realistic, and the rusted and damaged oil wells were also in the eyes of the brothers and sisters. After a turn, most of the kowtow machines were discontinued, and the whole city was a little dull. "It used to be a thriving place, but then after the oil price crashed, it slowly went down."

"Yes, I understand that, the Americans manipulated global oil prices to suppress the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union ultimately failed." Da Ming said with some regret. The reasons for the disintegration of that once great country are varied, and the collapse of the economy is mostly due to the collapse of the oil system, and to a lesser extent the quagmire of the invasion of Afghanistan.

Petrov led a group of people into his office, which was the No. 3 oil well area, where a dozen large kowtow machines were at work. He brought in several important leaders, who were the only five remaining well districts, which meant that the huge oil field had shrunk to one-sixth of its original size. "Let me introduce you to you, this is Vadutin, this is Charlesman, this is Bogdanov, this is Odesky, this is Harksky."

Lao Maozi's names are always very long, and star fruit has no heart to remember these names, but then these people are basically his own subordinates. A very embarrassing mood arose. Petrov said what he thought, and the five were not more surprised, and some said that if they really didn't work here, they would change places and find jobs.

Pugachev hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that it was not Petrov's words. "He has no intention of closing the oil fields, in fact we are going to take over, not only will you not lose your job but you will also increase your wages. From then on, it was the workers of the State Oil Company of the Republic of Tuva. ”

Petrov made some compromises on how much to buy the entire oil field, after all, the oil field had shrunk to one-sixth of its original size, so the price plummeted to 10 million.

Business is like this, at first the lion opens his mouth, and finally bargains for a price that is acceptable to both parties. Ten million dollars to get this seems to be well worth it for now, and the oil fields will continue to erode under Petrov's control, but Star Fruit and Daming are very confident that these oil fields will soon be restored to life after the brother and sister take over.

In the afternoon, a workers' meeting was held, and the more than 300 workers present were mostly lazy before, and the wages were too low and the oil output was low, and everything was a vicious circle. At the meeting, Pugachev promised a salary of five hundred dollars per worker. In order to stabilize people's hearts, a campaign to distribute living expenses was arranged at the venue. Each person will be paid an initial $100, and at the end of December, they will be paid according to the new working standards.

Petrov was so satisfied with this that the boss sat until he was actually on the verge of bankruptcy. The normal transfer of the company will have to be re-registered here in the town, and because it will be the oil field of the Republic of Tuva, there will be no taxes, which will require Pugachev's personal participation.

The brother and sister, Chu Hua and the others, lived in the dormitory of the oil field, and they could move in after temporarily cleaning up.

Sasha, the captain of the security guard, thinks that there may be many dangers in this small town, and there may even be bandits. He didn't dare to slack off, the company's promises during the day were too tempting, and there might already be criminals targeting here. The 20-member security force organized a sentry post, which combined the open and secret sentry.

The star fruit is already very tired, the dormitory is relatively simple, it is cold outside, at least there is a coal stove in the house. "Hurry up and sleep, tomorrow we will go to the city to have a look and see what kind of customs our station is like." Da Ming stroked her hair to soothe, but star fruit still watched with wide eyes. "Isn't it sleepy? Close your eyes. ”

"Okay, but we'll have to take our bodyguards with us when we go out tomorrow. And you, you have to bring a pistol too, I know that you are my only supporter. ”

"Good. Then you have to rest first. ”

Star fruit lay on her back, draped the quilt over her body, and closed her eyes. Da Ming got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water, and the soldiers at the door were still standing guard, even though it had begun to snow lightly outside. They were dressed like brown bears, they were carrying AK74S on their backs, and now they were soldiers of Tuva, which was allowed.

"Let's drink a cup of hot water on such a cold day." Da Ming opened the door and asked with concern.

The soldier honestly took the glass of water and drank it beautifully.

These loyal people are all for their own causes, but they will pay the workers very high wages, and the meagre five hundred dollars for the oilfield workers now does not seem to be good. Maybe you should also find time to talk to Pugachev.

Thinking of this, he poured himself another cup and put some of the tea leaves he had brought with him in the teacup. I thought that my sister could also take a sip of tea, but when I looked back, I saw that the little girl had fallen asleep.
