Chapter 118: Transactions
"Bang!"
Wine glasses collide.
Amid the melodious music, Mike smiled and drank the whiskey from his glass.
His face flushed with alcohol, and he laughed, "Mr. Fujii, you are right. China's domestic oil fields do not seem to be very enthusiastic about this bid. The price is so outrageous, it will win the bid, and it is hell. ”
Fujii had a smug look in his eyes: "Mr. Mike, my analysis is correct. It seems that I am in Xijiang Province, and it is still useful to you. ”
"Useful, certainly useful, my friend. My bidding strategy this time is also based on your suggestion. Mike laughed.
"That's right, Fujii. So next, is our strategy to deal with the Jiangbei Oilfield? ”
"Yes, the premise is that the Chinese government is willing to absorb us foreign businessmen." Fujii Laocheng judged, "However, the bidding price of these domestic oil fields is set so high and so uncooperative, it is estimated that it will be difficult for PetroChina to pull them into the second round on the surface." At that time, only a few of you foreign businessmen and Red Star Industry of Jiangbei Oilfield will enter the second round of bidding......"
"Mike, are you sure about the price of the second round of bids?"
"Among foreign oil companies, we at Exxon should be the most connected to the Chinese government." "I've worked with the Department of Petroleum a few times before. So whether it's Dutch Shell or whatever, I'm not worried. The only thing I'm worried about is the Red Star Industry in the Jiangbei Oilfield. In the first round of bidding, it was only a little more than 10% different from us. If the other party is ruthless and plays a price war with us, I'm afraid ......"
"What's wrong? You, Exxon, are you the world's largest oilman, are you afraid of Red Star Industry in the price war? Fujii asked.
"It's true that we at Exxon are strong. But, you know, there's a boss above me. Mike shrugged helplessly, "The headquarters in New York, USA, has a bottom-line price and a fixed profit for this bid. Red Star Industry may be able to fight with us for the patriotic enthusiasm of Red China, but we Exxon want to make money and will not do money-losing business. ”
Speaking of this, Fujii's face was a little anxious, he grabbed Mike's hand, and said in a gaffe: "Mr. Mike, you must win this bid, we Nippon Oil are very much looking forward to cooperating with you in the Tarim Oilfield......"
Mike shook off Fujii's hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Fujii again: "Fujii, you have repeatedly asked me to win the Jiangbei Oilfield in the bidding, I'm afraid you don't just want simple cooperation." Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? ”
"Okay, then I'm not going to beat around the bush." Fujii pressed his hands on his legs, straightened up and said, "Please, please bid in the second round and bid a minimum price, which must be better than the Jiangbei Oilfield." ”
"Even if the project is at a loss?"
"Yes."
"Ridiculous!" Mike snorted.
"It's not funny at all." Fujii took a suitcase from his feet, placed it on the table, and opened it for Mike to see.
It's full of green bills.
"If you can get the contract, the money is yours." Fujii smiled.
Mike glanced at the box, took a deep breath, and tugged at the neckline with his hand.
"Of course, I also have a suitcase for your boss." "I know that if you win the contract at a loss, you'll have to get past your boss. ”
"I already have the salary that Elson pays, and I don't need money." Mike waved his hand.
"Everybody needs money. Please do not refuse. Fujii further said, "If it weren't for the money, your U.S. President George Bush wouldn't have won the presidential election." ”
"What is it for?" Mike leaned back in his chair, "If we win the bid, you JPC will send people to the Tarim oil field, it won't be just for oil, right?" ”
"Very smart." "I can't say too much, but I just want to tell you that we, the Japanese Ministry of Defense, are very interested in China's rocket and nuclear industry base near the Tarim Basin," Fujii said. When you get the bid, we will negotiate. ”
"You're making me wrong." Mike hesitated on his face.
The drunkard does not mean to drink. Mike finally understood why the other party was so eager to win the bid.
"Mike, Elson has more than 30,000 employees, and executives like you, there are more than 300. Not everyone has a chance to get this huge amount of money. You should think of yourself as one of the lucky ones. Fujii laughed.
Half an hour later, Fujii walked out of the bar smiling and staggered into the hall.
He was already a little drunk, his steps were a little staggering, and he accidentally bumped into someone.
"The third ...... of the code" Fujii apologized in Japanese, and when he looked up to see the other party, his eyes widened.
Zhao Yuemin was also surprised.
This is the first time the two sides have met two years after Fujii left China.
"Fujii? What are you doing here? Zhao Yuemin was too lazy to be polite.
Fujii squinted at each other and said bluntly: "If I say that I come to Western Xinjiang to travel, you won't believe it." ”
"Of course I won't believe it." Zhao Yuemin said, "Fujii, we haven't seen each other for two years since the Canton Fair. ”
At the mention of the Canton Fair, Fujii's brow twitched unnaturally. Obviously, that self-defeating incident was the last thing the Japanese wanted to mention.
"You don't have to be too complacent." Fujii looked up at the other party, "Thanks to you, I'm back at the Tokyo headquarters, and I'm doing well." ”
"Doing well?" Zhao Yuemin smiled sarcastically, "If you are doing well, will you come to China again?" ”
"You ......" Fujii's face twitched, he admired the other party's keen insight, but also hated himself for being too clumsy. In the two years in the research institute, he has been overwhelmed by Zhao Yuemin. If it weren't for Zhao Yuemin, his act of stealing diamond drill bit technology would not have been self-defeating.
"Fujii, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." Zhao Yuemin looked at the other party and said, "I really hope that you have come to Western Xinjiang this time to travel, and any crooked and evil ways will not be able to achieve ultimate success." ”
"I don't need you to teach me a lesson......" Teng Jing gritted his teeth. However, he seemed a little excited when he thought of the deal he had just made with Mike, thinking that he finally had a chance to fight back.
"Zhao Yuemin, you have an ancient Chinese saying called feng shui turns. I think the scales of victory this time should be tilted. Fujii shook off a sentence and left without looking back.
Zhao Yuemin looked at Fujii's back, then looked at the bar next to him, and frowned.
He slowly swung into the bar, handed a ten-yuan renminbi to the bartender, and asked, "Where is that Japanese man sitting just now?" Have you spoken to anyone? ”
