"No problem, even if you don't make a sound, my cousin just wants to see you!"
"Okay, that's it, I'll wait for your call tomorrow."
Li Yifeng said goodbye and left, while Jin Xiaoqiang sat in the reception room, rubbed his brain, and began to recall as much as possible the beginning and end of the Yukos auction in his previous life.
In his last life, he himself only learned some about Yukos from some news on the Internet, of course, a lot of news is the official style of the Celestial Empire, and a lot of information is not credible.
Now that I think back to the news I knew in my previous life, it is really difficult to sort out a general context of the whole thing from the inside, but as long as I hold one principle, it should be right, that is, to understand the official news of the Celestial Empire that day, and that is probably the truth of the matter. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang was destined to be sleepless this night, and it took countless brain cells to roughly analyze the reason.
Early the next morning, he received a call from Li Yifeng, saying that he had arranged a meeting time for him, and that he didn't need to go anywhere else at noon today, as long as he waited in the hotel.
At noon, a Mercedes-Benz S600, which is not too conspicuous in Russia, quietly drove into the underground parking garage of the Marriott Hotel where Jin Xiaoqiang stayed, and then two tall Russian-style bodyguards got down in front of him, and after pulling the car door, a young tall and handsome white man accompanied by Li Yifeng got out of the car.
Instead of taking the public elevator outside, the group boarded the direct elevator that led directly to the presidential suite, and as soon as they stepped out of the elevator door, they directly faced a small living room in the presidential suite.
And Jin Xiaoqiang was already standing there and waiting for them with a smile.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm Jin Xiaoqiang."
Without waiting for Li Yifeng to introduce them, Jin Xiaoqiang had already greeted them with a smile and shook hands with the tall young man.
The person in front of him is Adelka, yes, he still looks very young at this time, unlike when he appeared on TV a few years later, he is as mature and stable, and the youthful atmosphere on his body is still very strong.
"Hello, Mr. Kim, I often hear my cousin and I mention you, and it is a great honor to meet for the first time today."
Adelka also shook hands with Jin Xiaoqiang politely, although he is not very old, he is already an old bureaucrat, and the bureaucratic atmosphere on his body is very strong, but his attitude is very kind.
The two bodyguards weren't too nervous, after all, they had already said before they came that they were coming to see a friend, not an unknown target, or a dangerous person.
Jin Xiaoqiang welcomed them into the large living room behind him, and the two bodyguards did not forget their duties, they glanced around a few times vigilantly, and only relaxed their vigilance after making sure that there was no threat here.
Several people sat down in the living room, chatted for a while and got acquainted with each other, and then the stunt lunch ordered by Jin Xiaoqiang from the hotel was delivered. The '82-year-old Lafite, the caviar from Lake Baikal with grilled sturgeon, and the truffles from a few guests to France all look relatively simple, but they have all been carefully prepared by the hotel's chef, and they look good and taste very good.
During the meal, the two bodyguards also quietly pondered in Jin Xiaoqiang's luxury suite, and after seeing that there were no threats or traps, they were relieved.
After lunch, Jin Xiaoqiang invited Adelka and Li Yifeng to drink coffee in his study together, and the two of them also readily agreed, and the three of them went to the study of Jin Xiaoqiang's suite, and the two bodyguards were very knowledgeable, knowing that this was the big people who were going to start talking about business, so they didn't follow up, but followed behind to help them close the door, and then sat on the sofa not far from the study and began to rest.
"Let's get straight to the point, shall we? Mr. Adelka, I would like to know how many chances we have for this Yukos auction. ”
After the politeness at the beginning, Jin Xiaoqiang chose to go straight to the point, which is also his favorite way to talk about business after contacting these gringos many times during this time.
Adelka did not rush to answer Jin Xiaoqiang's question, but held the coffee cup in his hand, smiled where he was, raised his head from time to time and glanced at Jin Xiaoqiang a few times, knowing that after sipping half of the coffee in his hand, he put down the coffee cup, let out a sigh, and then said to Jin Xiaoqiang. …,
"Mysterkin, the participants in this game are all big guys, since you want to participate in and play, I wonder if you are ready?"
Adelka studied in the United States in his early years, and he spoke English very well, and the meaning is very clear, this game is a rich man's game, since you want to play, then you have to come up with enough chips to prove that you are eligible to participate in this game.
"Oh? So that's the case? I don't know how big this plate is this time? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang is not in a hurry to show his net worth, he wants to find out from Adelka how much Putin intends to sell Yukos this time.
You must know that the current Yukos is not last year's Longkos, his two fattest pieces of meat have been swallowed by Abu and Putin, and the rest are just scum in their eyes, but in the eyes of others, as long as they are not strange goods, it is still profitable.
Jin Xiaoqiang was calm and calm, which made Adelka appreciate it very much, this young man really has a set, if he were replaced by other rich people of his age, when he heard Adelka's slightly provocative question just now, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold his breath and pat his chest to show his strength.
This guy was not in a hurry, and began to feel his own details.
This Yukos auction is of course Putin's measure to reward meritorious deeds, you must know that this time to help bring down Yukos, many people have made a lot of efforts.
You must know that before Putin moved Yukos, this Yukos was a real oil industry giant in Russia, and the original name of this company was established by Berezovsky, the godfather of Russia during the Yeltsin era.
has quite deep connections and resources in the military, political and economic circles, otherwise this company would not have become the last oligarchic to attack Putin after taking office
In order to bring down this alliance of interests, Putin has united a lot of people to do this.
Now that Yukos's fattest two pieces of meat have been eaten, Yukos has a lot of inheritance left, and this part, of course, must be taken out for meritorious deeds. In this operation, he Adelka has made a lot of efforts, and of course Putin can't treat him badly, so of course he has to take the lion's share of the remaining Yukos.
And Jin Xiaoqiang's direct question about Yukos's reserve price is enough to show that he has already predicted this.
"Well, since Mr. Jin is interested in participating in this game, and we are partners, then let's get straight to the point, if Yukos is to go bankrupt in the auction, the reserve price must not be less than $3.4 billion, which is the price of the taxes and penalties he owes. Of course I'm talking about if! ”
Adelka directly quoted the reserve price, and he still had something to say, while Jin Xiaoqiang on the opposite side began to ponder. 3.4 billion US dollars is not a small amount, this amount is exactly the total amount of funds that Jin Xiaoqiang can use at present, of course, it is not all, if he still wants to invest a little more, it is not impossible, but in all the eggs in one basket, is this risk a little too big?
And do business with Lao Maozi, but be careful, what these guys like to do the most is to be unreasonable, in case they pit themselves when the time comes, they have no place to cry if they want to.
$34 million? Isn't that a small amount? You must know that the current Yukos is not last year's Yukos, the Siberian Oil Company has been taken back by Abu, and Yugansk has also been auctioned, and Yukos's remaining subsidiaries don't seem to have any big oil fields, right? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang said to Aldeka with some hesitation, Aldeca is not stupid, of course he knows what Jin Xiaoqiang is worried about.
He didn't talk nonsense, he took out a leather bag that he carried with him directly from behind him, and then took out a thick kraft paper document bag from it, handed it to Jin Xiaoqiang, and said to him with a smile.
"I know Mr. Jin, you still have some doubts, you can take a look at this document first, and then make a block, it's not too early today, I'll go first, and after you think about it, Mr. Jin, you'll contact me."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Jin Xiaoqiang to stay, so he stood up with a smile, said goodbye to Jin Xiaoqiang, and left the hotel where Jin Xiaoqiang stayed.
Li Yifeng also followed his cousin out of the hotel, and after Jin Xiaoqiang said goodbye to Aldeka, he turned around and picked up the document bag. …,
The style of the document bag is very old, look at the degree of damage to the paper of the bag, you can know that this is a document bag many years ago, the front of this document bag, there is also a big red five-pointed star, in the middle of the five-pointed star There is also the symbol of the axe and sickle, it seems that this should be a document bag in the former Soviet Union, with a big Russian text written on it, Jin Xiaoqiang does not know much.
Fortunately, he didn't come alone this time, and he also brought a team, this team is the personnel of the third-party investigation company he established in Hong Kong, and this time they brought members who are proficient in the situation in Eastern Europe and Russia.
Fortunately, these people's Russian skills are quite good, and in just one afternoon, they were able to translate these obscure Russians.
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't wait for a few of them to react, so he gave instructions to these people and sent them to various parts of the world under various names to prevent them from colluding and learning the contents of the documents after they colluded.
Lying on the bed at night, looking at the document in his hand, Jin Xiaoqiang's heart can be said to be surging, it turns out that this document is an exploration report made during the former Soviet Union.
This exploration report was made by the technical experts of the former Soviet Union in the late 60s of the last century, and it clearly introduced the results of exploration in the Tokhomsk oil field, and found a total of about 100 million tons of reserves in the proven mineable areas, and the reserves that could not be exploited at that time due to technical reasons were as high as 1.5 billion tons, and the unproven recoverable reserves were estimated to be no less than 1.5 billion tons.
After so many years of exploitation, the current oil and gas reserves of the Tokhomsk oil field are still as high as more than 600 million tons, and together with the reserves that have not yet been exploited, is it not as high as more than 3.6 billion tons?
You have to know how much is the reserve of Daqing Oilfield? In 2008, it was said that Daqing's controllable reserves were only 2.1 billion tons, which was only enough for 15 years, and the proven oil reserves were only 600 million tons, but the 600 million tons were quite difficult to exploit. ”
In the last century, because of technology, it is understandable that those reserve oil fields could not be exploited, but now in the 21st century, the current mining technology is not comparable to that of the last century.
If all the facts stated in this document are true, then the Tokhomsk oil field now controlled by Yukos alone is definitely an undeveloped underground treasure, and it is definitely worth the $3.4 billion investment!
So what now? Is it working with this Aldeka?
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't sleep well this night, and all he thought about was the large oil field. ”
The next day, Jin Xiaoqiang did not rush to contact Aldeka, but sent his own team and gave them the task of finding out how much the reserves of the Tokhomsk oil field were. ”
Three days later, the team sent back a report that the Tokhomsk field now has proven reserves of 600 million tons of oil that can be exploited, but the accounts of untapped reserves vary widely.
Of course, the best way for them to do this is to go to Tokhomsk and buy off the exploration engineers and the workers of the oil wells, and get answers out of their mouths.
Because the people who asked are different, the answers are also different, but these answers have one thing in common, that is, the untapped and unannounced reserve oil reserves of this oil field are definitely more than 1.5 billion tons. ”
Although the answers can be said to be varied, Jin Xiaoqiang already has a judgment in his heart, it seems that the information that Aldeka gave him is not lying, and it is true that this Tokhomsk oil field still has a lot of potential to be tapped.
The main reason why Nayukos did not exploit the crude oil of this oil field on a large scale was because the oil fields controlled by Yugansk and Siberian Oil Company were shallower, better developed, and cheaper, so they did not develop this oil field on a large scale.
I didn't expect this to make myself cheap!. )
