Chapter 356 Asians
Most of the equipment in the Skolle oil field is rented from Russia's oil department with a budget of US$50 million, and they cannot afford to waste it.
Moreover, with Bavel and others, they often use rubles to rent equipment, or dopant rubles and US dollars, and a small amount of equipment from China was transported by railway line. Due to the strength gap between the two parties, the agreement was signed very much towards Dahua and the Chinese bank group. Although the funds were loaned to three Russian companies, they were still completely controlled by Dahua Industrial during the actual use.
Qin Shiwei, who is in charge, is used to being thrifty in China and has no habit of spending money with Occupy companies. He does not have to use US dollars without US dollars, and does not have to buy anything that can be rented. Equipment from the Russian oil department is often continuously reduced.
After two weeks, the oil field was already in shape. All the camping houses and generator sets for the command center were installed in place, and the moving work of leveling the site was quickly completed. At the same time, the hired Russian company began to pave the road to the well site. Qin Shiwei rereaded the earthquake map and deployed exploration wells.
Until the first exploration well drilled, $50 million was left.
Chamil slept in the oil field for a long time, looking at the report with one eye and the oil field with the other. Seeing that the derrick was built, the drilling rig rumbling to open the drill, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "$50 million is really enough?"
Qin Shiwei said indifferently: "They have already dug the census well and the pre-exploration well, and the data is quite clear. We do it based on them, so it is natural and simple."
They refer to the former Soviet Union's oil sector. Siberia is a key area for the development of the former Soviet Union. The Soviet government has invested hugely and produced a lot of output.
Chamil, who was half an amateur, asked directly: "Can you produce oil?"
Qin Shiwei said through translation: "This well is not necessarily the case. But overall, it is certainly possible."
His daring to be so sure is also based on the situation of the Skoler oil field. The former Soviet Union made a long-term large-scale investment in Siberia, and the geological structures in many areas are already quite clear. For example, the Skoler oil field is even arranged in the waiting sequence for development, and is an oil field waiting for production. It is just because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, all private developers at home and abroad have been cheaper.
Chamil looked at the drawings in a pretentious manner and then asked in a low voice: "You are sure to produce oil in this oil well."
“This is hard to say.”
“What do you think?”
"I can only say that the probability is very high." Qin Shiwei looked at Xia Mir strangely.
Chamil hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Our investors, you know, some gentlemen want to visit the oil field. After all, it is a project worth tens of millions of dollars."
After hearing what he said, Qin Shiwei understood: "Please take 50% sure, half and half. So, the safest way is to wait until the oil is produced before asking someone to come."
"Some people can't wait." Chamele stopped talking about this.
Qin Shiwei knew what he meant. The oil field with a reserve of 50 million tons was taken only after investing 50 million yuan, so there were naturally all kinds of tricks. However, he himself was not willing to get involved in such a thing. After thinking about it, he said, "I try to ensure the progress. But it is impossible to know whether it can produce oil."
"Of course." Chamele smiled easily.
After waiting for a week, the people behind Bawell, Chamele and others began to appear in the Skolle Oilfield one after another.
At the beginning, Sucheng did not pay attention, but as the number of people was in Skolle, Qi Xiaokun came to him and said, "The people who came cannot be all investors of Bavel."
As a member of the Embassy Military Attendant Office, Qi Xiaokun has a rich information channel and has accumulated considerable intelligence for the former Soviet Union and today Russia.
Su Cheng couldn't help but say seriously: "What is it not an investor? The KGB? Is this necessary?"
Qi Xiaokun smiled at him and said, "It's not that serious, the KGB can't take care of itself. I just have been analyzing the identity of people, and they don't need to unite. Well... I noticed that the highest status among them is a deputy minister of the Ministry of Geology, a retired minister of the General Machinery Manufacturing Department, and then a widow of the Minister of the Ministry of Chemistry and Petroleum Processing Industry. The other few are lower-level former Soviet cadres... In addition, there are several people serving in the Russian government, including the Russian Federation Energy Agency, the Russian Federation Industry, all of which are hot positions... and officials of the Russian Federation Regional Development Agency..."
Su Cheng interrupted him and said, "Why can't these people be investors?"
"Russia now? They won't come so many people just to divide a 50 million tons oil field. Although it's a lot of money, there's no need. You know what I said." Qi Xiaokun rubbed his hands and said, "I guess there will be no problem with three or four people joining together to take down this Skolle oil field."
Su Cheng nodded helplessly.
Although it was a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, just like the Soviet Union was unwilling to participate in investment, these Russian and former Soviet officials also had the same concerns. Not everyone was willing to wait for a few years and then fantasize about the second half of their life without worries about food and clothing.
"Then what do you think is their purpose?" Su Cheng turned around and asked Qi Xiaokun again.
Qi Xiaokun took out a chocolate bar from his pocket, and while thinking, he tore open the packaging, took a big bite, and then said, "I personally guess that they are all people who are interested in the oil field."
“But it’s not necessarily the Skolle Oilfield?”
"Um."
Su Cheng touched his chin and smiled: "I was thinking about selling jeans in Russia, but I didn't expect that they came to the door without promoting it themselves."
"Who sells jeans?" Qi Xiaokun didn't understand.
Sucheng told the story of people who make jeans who earn more than gold diggers by selling sturdy pants, and then said: "I am not optimistic about holding oil fields in Russia for a long time. However, being a technical service provider and providing credit services by the way is a good choice. Moreover, you can also gain a certain amount of control and influence of oil."
It is very difficult to hold more than 50% of the oil field shares in Russia for a long time, and it requires long-term struggle and cautious care. Sucheng does not want to devote the rest of his life to Russia's power struggle. However, if he only owns a lower proportion of shares, such as 5% or 10%, and obtains them in a reasonable and legal way, the danger would be very low.
Dahua Industrial cannot acquire the strength of a financial oligarch in Russia. Therefore, it is far easier to make money by occupying 60% of a company's shares than by occupying 10% of the shares of six companies.
Of course, the disadvantage of doing this is to understand the 6 companies separately. From dealing with the relationship between two companies to dealing with the relationship between seven companies, the management costs will increase a lot.
Qi Xiaokun swallowed the chocolate bar in two mouthfuls and said, "There should be many people who think the same as you. I noticed that there are people from the oil company among the visitors."
"Hmm? Which one?"
"Shromberger and Halliburton, this is on the list. There are still some people who are still identifiable."
Schlumberger and Halliburton are among the world's top oil field service providers. They do not produce oil themselves, but rely on oil field services to become the Fortune 500 companies in the world. It is not surprising that this appeared in Siberia. In fact, in the Iron Curtain era, Schlumberger and Halliburton did not cut off their relationship with the Soviet Union at that time. Similarly, they did not cut off their relationship with China.
It can be said that even if a penguin wants to extract oil in Antarctica, they will send a sales team to ask "whether to help."
Schlumberger and Halliburton's technical methods are naturally much more advanced than Dahua Industrial, but the fees are much more expensive. Given $50 million, it is better to dig an exploration well. If you want to help mine an oil field, you can't even think about it without $500 million. The two are not competitors of the same magnitude. If oil field services are compared to decoration houses, Halliburton is a high-end decoration service provider with exclusive designers, and Dahua Industrial can only be regarded as a small construction team led by a contractor.
Fortunately, Russia in early 1992 was a broken house.
Su Cheng had just thought and asked, "How long will it take for you to identify the identities of the remaining visitors?"
"Are you anxious?"
"in a hurry."
Qi Xiaokun stretched his hand into his pocket and pulled out his empty trouser bag.
Su Cheng had no choice but to find a few chocolate bars and hand them to him.
Qi Xiaokun stuffed it into his pocket and said, "If you recognize it all, it will take two weeks."
"Two weeks? What system are you using?"
"Manual system. Define a range and hand it over to the people in the archives room. One photo after another is flipped through, and if you can't flip through it, what else do you want?" Qi Xiaokun said "Zila", tear open another chocolate bar and licked it with relish.
After licking for a while, he wrapped it up again and said with satisfaction: "I'll eat it today, and I'll eat the rest tomorrow."
Su Cheng turned his face and never wanted to take a look.
After knowing the visitor's goal, Su Cheng was not in a hurry to visit, and still pretended to be completely unaware of it. He just urged the oil field to speed up construction and let the other party visit the oil field development work.
Those who want to make money always focus on costs and profits. The better Dahua performs in the Skolle Oilfield, the easier it is to win more orders.
Both sides did their own thing for a few days.
They gathered underground in the exploration hole.
This is the day when the oil well is scheduled to produce oil. Although it is just a test well, whether it can produce oil does not matter whether it is the overall situation. But in terms of sensitivity, oil production will naturally add a lot of points to Dahua Industrial.
Qin Shiwei, who was so dark, was drilling with a silence. He didn't care about the visitors gathered in front of him, so Sikong Guan stood up to greet him.
At this moment, another helicopter landed on the flat land.
There were many people traveling to and from the oil field by helicopter. Su Cheng just took a look and was about to turn his head.
At this time, three yellow-skinned men jumped out of the helicopter.
"Asian!" Su Cheng's eyes narrowed.
He doesn't care about Occidental oil service companies such as Halliburton, because the two sides are two parallel lines and each faces different customer groups. But Asian oil companies are different. In terms of savings, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and even Malaysia have considerable strength...)
