Chapter 208: Underwriting [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
The sea map of the South China Sea that Ji Feng took out had already been drawn a line on it. The sea area that Ji Feng wants is the southernmost part of the South China Sea, from 116 degrees east longitude, 8 degrees north latitude obliquely to 114 degrees east longitude, 6 degrees north latitude, and then from 6 degrees north latitude straight west to the junction of the Malaysian sea.
They can understand Ji Feng's intention to draw like this, he wants to connect Sabah and the Natuna Islands together, the South China Sea is a sea area belonging to the Celestial Empire between the two places before, and it is inconvenient for Ji Feng's warships to come and go. Although Ji Feng applied to his side in advance for the use of that sea area in this battle with Malaysia, it was not his after all, so he couldn't say it in terms of the total number of days that went back and forth later.
Although the area of the sea seems to be not small, after all, Ji Feng took out the right to use the island, and it is also the third largest island in China closest to the mainland, which makes them a little entangled for a while, whether to change it or not. I hoped that Ji Feng would come over to discuss the issue of delimitation of the disputed waters between the Natuna Islands and the South China Sea, and there is a large overlap between the two sides' maritime exclusive economic zones, which has not been resolved for a long time in the previous Indonesian period, and both sides have their own reasons, and the international community cannot tell who is right and who is wrong.
But now that it belongs to Ji Feng, they want to take advantage of the fact that Ji Feng has just taken over to quickly determine the dividing line, so as not to quarrel again in the future and make the relationship between the two sides bad. They really didn't expect that Ji Feng would have such an agreement on the right to use in his hands.
You know, it's an island of more than 1,000 square kilometers, if you put it in your own hands. I'd definitely rather have this island than go so far away. But the key problem now is that there are abundant oil and gas resources under that sea area, although the sea area there is very deep, and there are no conditions for exploitation in China at present. But Ji Feng didn't have this worry at all.
The Ministry of Energy has come to the conclusion that Ji Feng is absolutely capable of operating and exploiting in the deep sea area, and that the difficulty of exploitation is not much greater than that of the Feiyang Oilfield.
In other words, if Ji Feng gets the right to that sea area, then Ji Feng will definitely exploit the oil and gas resources there, but they are a little unwilling to let it be exploited like this.
Look at the map and protocols. The prime minister looked up with some worry and asked, "What are you going to do with the oil and gas resources there?" ”
Ji Feng looked at the prime minister with some tears and laughter: "Prime minister, you won't think about exchanging that piece of sea water for an island, right?" That's a bit of a bully, the underwater resources there. Naturally, I will dispose of it at will within the time limit, which means that when the conditions are ripe, I will go to mining. ”
The prime minister's face was hot when Ji Feng said it, and he also knew that his thoughts were a little excessive. These two interests can be compared. He really couldn't bear any of them.
"It's not a big loss for the country to mine alone, why don't we cooperate in development? Can you control it, we only need 49% of the shares. ”
Ji Feng suddenly shook his head and said: "I really can't agree to what you say, it's an island of more than 1,000 square kilometers, I give it back to the country, you can't really just let me use that piece of seawater, and the proportion of cooperation you want is too high, 49% I will definitely have to sell the oil and gas resources back to the country, then I will work for our country." That's not appropriate. You are given up to 10%, and the state has to underwrite. Even if we cooperate with both sides, it will at least sound better to the outside world. ”
The chairman frowned and said: "10% is too little, although the island you mentioned is more than 1,000 square kilometers, but after deducting the country's investment in it in recent years, its value is not large, and it can't be sold for a few dollars, and the oil and gas resources in the South China Sea are different, there are known as the largest oil and gas resource reserves in Shijie, and the economic benefits are far from being comparable to an island." ”
Ji Feng shook his head again and said: "Chairman, you also said that you are claiming, how big the specific reserves are still not decided, 10% is already my bottom line, and at the same time, this agreement will be returned to the country after it is agreed, so why not do it if both sides have face?" And you just talked about the economic value, in terms of strategic value, I'm afraid this island will be even heavier, right? You two also know that I always like to talk straight, and you two will have a good time. ”
The two of them glanced at each other and sighed: "It's not easy for the two of us to make decisions about this matter, so let's go out for a walk in the afternoon, and we'll give you a letter tomorrow morning." ”
Ji Feng smiled bitterly: "Okay, I have to take back the original of the agreement, and I will leave you a copy." We'll talk again tomorrow morning. ”
After Ji Feng left, in the afternoon of the same day, the chairman urgently summoned several other people to negotiate this matter, after all, this is a major event to break the wasteland, and they have been pleasantly surprised that Ji Feng's great-grandfather Ji Fu has so many island ownership agreements in various countries, but they didn't expect that a domestic lease suddenly appeared, although it is only a right other than sovereignty, but the lease period of up to 999 years is really too painful.
Compared with the distant South China Sea, it is obvious that several bigwigs do not want to lose the thousands of square kilometers of islands under their noses, although it does not include the sea area, but it is stuck in the main road into and out of the Yangtze River, the most important thing is that this matter was signed by Taizu himself, they are all nephews or grandchildren of Taizu according to their generation, once this matter is exposed, not only affects the reputation of Taizu and his old man, but they also don't know how to explain it to the domestic people.
Ji Feng can quietly take it out now, thinking about replacing a piece of the South China Sea, although the area there is larger, but after all, the sea is the sea area, and it is not comparable with the land, not to mention that it is the third largest island in the Celestial Empire, second only to Taiwan and Hainan.
Of course, for the oil and gas resources under the South China Sea, in line with the principle of asking for as much as you can, it is a big deal to continue to negotiate with Ji Feng tomorrow. The line drawn by Ji Feng, they knew that Ji Feng wanted to connect Sabah with the Natuna Islands, and how much oil and gas resources in the South China Sea had, to be honest. They don't have an accurate number in their hearts, and the Ministry of Energy doesn't dare to guarantee this matter, let alone them.
The next morning. Ji Feng came to Zhongnanhai again and negotiated on the replacement of the islands and sea areas between the two sides, and when he saw the old man of the Leng family present, Ji Feng instantly cried and laughed. "Grandpa Leng, it looks like your body is much better than last time, congratulations!"
Old Man Leng smiled and pulled Ji Feng to sit beside him, and sighed: "This is thanks to your thousand-year-old ginseng." If it weren't for it, I'm afraid I would have to go to see Taizu a few months ago. ”
Ji Feng smiled: "Grandpa Leng is polite, that's what juniors should do." You have made a lot of contributions and sacrifices for our entire country, how can the younger generation watch you endure the torture of illness. ”
The prime minister was a little surprised: "Uncle Leng, it turns out that your thousand-year-old ginseng was still sent by Xiao Ji?" It seems that Xiao Ji does have a lot of good things on his hands. ”
Ji Feng smiled and waved his hand: "This sincerity was obtained by chance, anyway, I can't use it at such a young age." It's better to honor Grandpa Leng. ”
Chatted with parents for a while. The old man of the Leng family asked directly: "Xiao Ji, they all agreed to the replacement you proposed, but the issue of shares in this cooperative development is a bit controversial, how much can you take out at most?" And I'm afraid your jishu can also be mined directly now, what are you going to do when you are ready to mine it? And can you tell us how much of it is? ”
Ji Feng sighed lightly and said, "Grandpa Leng, the chairman and the prime minister, the three of them are all people I respect and admire. So I don't hide from the three of you how much oil and gas resources there are in the South China Sea. I really don't know the bottom of my heart, after all, my people haven't explored yet, since I took over the Natuna Islands, I was approached by Malaysia, and I didn't dare to let their exploration ship go over at the beginning, for fear that Malaysia would up again. ”
"But according to my numerical analysis of Indonesia's previous exploration, the natural gas resources in the Natuna Islands should be about 7 trillion cubic meters, and I can't calculate how much they have extracted, but now there should be about 5 trillion cubic meters left, and the oil should be much less, I'm afraid it will be billions of tons."
"I have the jishu to exploit, but the cost will be very high, you also know, the northeast I demarcated from the Celestial Empire is too deep, I can't determine how many oil and gas resources there are, but I estimate that at most it is only the attached ore of the Natuna Islands oil and gas field, if there is one, it should not be too much, plus the cost factor, considering the problem of investment income ratio, so I can really only give up 10% at most, of course, If China can promise to underwrite all the oil and gas resources exploited in the sea area I have demarcated, I can increase it to 12%, which is my bottom line, and at least let me make money. ”
In fact, the real rich resource point is the sea area south between the Natuna Islands and the Anambas Islands, but at present, the exploration of Jishu on the earth cannot drill such deep oil wells, so the heavy oil layer further down has not been discovered. The water depth in the northeast trough reaches more than 600 meters, and no country dares to take the risk there, but the oil layer there is not deep, Ji Feng asked for that sea area, in addition to solving the problem of sea connection between Sabah and the Natuna Islands, by the way, he also wants to exploit the oil and gas resources there, although it is not as rich in oil and gas resources as the shallow sea area in the southwest, but it is also a lot, at least the reserves of two Feiyang oil fields, Ji Feng is not stupid.
This is the earth resources analysis map attached by Thomas before, this is the largest oil and gas field in Shijie, Ji Feng will not let go no matter what, which is also the reason why Weishenme is willing to take risks and use Lei Yi and Lei Er to turn the bus over, to put it bluntly, everything is all about money, plus the Natuna Islands originally belonged to him, of course he couldn't cheapen others.
Hearing Ji Feng's words, the three old men discussed a few words softly, and the old man Leng said: "Okay, just do as you say, 12% of the shares are underwritten in China for the oil and gas resources there, and the lease period is 999 years." ”
Ji Feng agreed with a smile: "Grandpa Xiexie Leng and the chairman and the prime minister, but the three of you can be clear, the cooperation I said is limited to the leased sea area, and my own sea area is not counted." ”
The three of them laughed a few words, and the prime minister said with a smile: "We know this, and we can still take advantage of you." (To be continued......)
