Chapter 272: Verbal Promise
This kind of Western-style social dinner star fruit does not like it, and the brother and sister do not know much about this kind of activity. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Watching the scene, some of the participants were picking up dishes casually on the dining table, and more were talking.
Seeing the two of them coming downstairs, Pugachev clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, pay attention, our Vladimir and Besika are coming." ”
Everyone paid attention to the salute, and the two of them had long been accustomed to such attention, and they were not stunned. The two walked up to Pugachev in front of the crowd and saluted the governor.
"This is also the children you brought? They are indeed lovely. The governor smiled, especially when he saw the star fruit's face, hesitated for a while. You two are Mongols? ”
Da Ming nodded yes, everything is spoken here in Russian. Because of the Soviet factor, the vast majority of ethnic minorities in the East speak Russian, so the Mongols played by Daming and star fruit naturally speak it. The governor quickly lost his beard, and then a crowd of officials gathered around.
"I heard that you two are also envoys from Tuva, so this time you are also here to develop the oil field?" The governor asked curiously.
"It's not just that." Daming replied briskly, "This time it is a business and a private matter, my sister and I are actually shareholders of Pugachev Besika Heavy Industries, and we have a big deal about the investment in Tuva." ”
Just now I talked to Pugachev, and I know a little about this, that company suddenly appeared in the Irkutsk region, and as for the peculiarities, it manufactures munitions. The two children in front of him turned out to be shareholders, and Pugachev took the opportunity to nod yes.
Carambola hurriedly returned: "Actually, I am Besika." Mr. Pugachev and I are important friends. ”
Age often proves one's qualifications, and the immature face of star fruit certainly could not convince these adults present. Some bad voices came to her ears, after all, not everyone believed that these two were important shareholders of a company.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Katyusha listened for a while and said.
"It's not a joke, it's not a joke here, it's like a practical proof that my brother and I do have a lot of wealth. Instead of asking so much about our backgrounds, it is better to discuss business matters directly. ”
The governor waved his daughter down, and the business was discussed at such a dinner.
The social dinner emphasized more on friendship, and the two children were indeed emissaries sent by the Republic of Tuva, who apologized to the siblings for their insulting remarks. In order not to show their stuffing, the brother and sister had to talk in Russian the whole time.
Katyusha was not a snarky person, and she also realized the presumptuous words she had just said, and she didn't want to admit her mistake out of face. In fact, she still admitted her mistake, and then led the two to the table. For the time being, Pugachev said that the group of hairy people were drinking even at such a formal dinner, and star fruit did not want his brother to get drunk because of this.
The long table has the most dim sum, some grilled meats and salads, and even some seafood. "This is the first time you've attended such a banquet. This kind of banquet is mainly about talking, and it is not polite to eat too much. Katyusha introduced, and by the way, she picked up some dishes. She was a girl, so she took most snacks, and the corners of her eyes were still watching the two.
The traditional Russian diet is actually very much in line with the taste of the Chinese, and the brother and sister are not picky. Da Ming knew that he and this girl were just meeting in Pingshui, and Mao Mei developed too early, so he didn't know how old she was, so he had to continue to call her Katyusha.
"I've heard that Katyusha is the name of a rocket launcher, and it is said that the Battle of Bagration was a devastating blow to the German army."
"Yes...... Yes, I haven't learned these textbooks yet. Katyusha was curious, the dinner was attended by herself after school, and the two children didn't seem to have to go to school. Just make up a reason for Daming to fool her over, what is the so-called school for, isn't it just to make money, since you already have a lot of wealth, you don't have to waste time.
Pugachev beckoned the siblings over, and a businessman with the same beard in attendance offered the possibility of cooperation. After listening to Pugachev and this man's rhetoric, Da Ming felt very constructive, but the military was star fruit, and he also needed to ask his sister about his plan.
According to the original plan, if you want to get oil out quickly, you can buy an oil field. If you dig your own oil, it will take a lot of effort, and if you want to start production quickly, you must follow the former's plan.
The bearded uncle Petrov, he has a strong willingness to cooperate in business, and is even willing to cooperate deeply in the merger of companies, which is out of practical interests, and he has now survived. He has a close relationship with the governor, so this time the governor has given a huge face, and perhaps this is an important opportunity to turn a profit.
But this is just a verbal explanation, Daming and star fruit are moved, Petrov claims that he is not doing well, and in his heyday he had 30 oil wells, more than 200 large kowtow machines to dig oil, and produced 150,000 barrels of oil per day.
But why would such a large oil production company be poorly managed? The star fruit tugged at Da Ming's shirt violently, so Da Ming only vaguely answered some of Petrov's questions. In fact, when they arrived at the oil field, the two really knew why they were not doing well.
Here star fruit ventured to be alone with her brother and Pugachev for a while, and the governor knew they were agreeing on whether to make a formal investment.
According to the original historical Tyumen oil reservoir area, the amount of oil produced by an oil field producing 150,000 barrels per day will have to wait until 2010, when the old oil fields will begin to appear in the case of insufficient reserves, and more new fields will be discovered. It was once said that oil would run out in 2050, but it turned out that after the invention of new excavation techniques, the earth was literally full of oil.
"I'm an old businessman, and if I can run a big oil field until it doesn't come out, either the oil is almost finished, or he really can't run it." Pugachev said.
"Is that man also an oligarch like you, the difference is that you are very good at business and he is not."
Pugachev smiled slightly: "Vladimir, it was when I met you two and Nikolai that the business suddenly became so good, but you turned many of the old factories I bought into engines with full power." Your global trade is earning almost $100 million a month. ”
"Stop flattering me." Carambola pouted, and at the moment she guessed that it was estimated that this Petrov would not be able to manage.
Russian oligarchs large and small, this Petrov used special means to buy the national oil fields of the USSR, thinking that this was the mother machine that would lay golden eggs, but economic difficulties led to economic contraction, and this hen has been emaciated.
According to the original history, the production of oil in the Tyumen oil depot area peaked at 400 million barrels two years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of the country's oil fields were closed for various reasons. Russia is sitting on a huge energy fortune, and after only a few years of large-scale energy sales, even much of the infrastructure is now aging. Therefore, the brother and sister did not think that what they had inherited was just a huge mess, repairing the kowtow machine and arranging a new power network, which still required a big investment.
The only thing star fruit knows is that Russia's crude oil production capacity has plummeted, so much so that the oil pipeline companies that make a living from oil transportation are not doing so. "Mr. Pugachev, at this moment, please treat me as an angel who can predict the future." Carambola watched with confidence as Pugachev made her astonishing predictions.
"You are already my angel, and I believe everything you say now. Even if you say you're from the future, I believe it. ”
Carambola smiled and said about the collapse of the Russian economy in the future, which she had said, and now she said the details again from memory. "I suspect that the economic crisis will lead to the shrinkage of Rosneft's assets to less than a billion, which will be an important opportunity for us, and I think we will put all the money we have made internationally in the past few months into this big hole, and we will be very miserable for this."
As soon as he heard the word loss money, Pugachev asked directly, is it necessary? "Sir, listen to her, my sister won't make a losing deal."
Carambola pointed out that this is a venture investment, "We had better invest 200 million US dollars, in this case in the name of the Republic of Tuva." In the next century, oil prices will skyrocket by at least ten times, and after my country's economy takes off, there will be a huge appetite: "Sacrifice a few years to live a hard life, and then the price of oil soars to control the wealth of hundreds of billions of trillions." Mr. Pugachev, don't you want to be the president of Tuva? People like you should like power the most, as long as we cooperate, you can be re-elected, as long as you promise the people happiness and really give them plenty of material, the votes will be yours. ”
Pugachev was overjoyed by this remark, and the investment in oil was thus decided, and he verbally agreed to Petrov's request. The three of them verbally supported the $2 million temporary payment he wanted, but the three asked to go to the oil field quickly to have a look.
