Four hundred and ninetieth chapters spleen and stomach
"So, when will Dahua Industrial be involved in the oil field bidding in Kazakhstan?" Chen Lizheng heard the meaning of Sucheng's words.
"It's hard to confirm, but this year is not a good time." Sucheng said simply.
Chen Lizheng asked curiously: "What is Dahua's plan?"
His tone was a little anxious, and when he looked at the General Manager, he was also eager to see. If you think about it carefully, you can understand that domestic oil companies have been shouting for going out for two or three years. Among the three companies of Sinopec, CNOOC and CNOOC, CNOOC has mastered overseas oil fields and attracted many foreign companies. Sinopec's refining projects are also indispensable for foreign capital participation. Only CNOOC lacks overseas channels and can only indirectly find such a way as Dahua Industrial.
It is estimated that in addition to Dahua Industrial, they have also contacted companies such as Halliburton. However, in the era of US$30 per barrel of oil, the oil fields that were slightly pastiche were stared at by companies such as the seven oil sisters. Even if they had a little relationship, it was not the turn of the Oil Corporation to grab the oil fields. As for those oil fields with high cost or unclear reserves, as the state-owned enterprise of the Oil Corporation, it is rare to make a decision, which is equivalent to being afraid of both sides of the wolf.
It was really impossible to find a way, so they asked for it as a living person.
Historically, in order to find an overseas oil field, the Petroleum Corporation has worked hard to find a long-term effort and finally got into Sudan's oil fields, but there were piles of international disputes and international scandals. It is hard to say whether the Sudan project will make money in the end. The political account is at least pure loss, even so. CNPC has persisted, and it can be imagined that they are eager for the Caspian oil circle. No matter what, Kazakhstan is the world's second only to the Middle East, and it is much better than a retail store like Sudan.
This is also the changing times. A few years ago, the Petroleum Corporation not only had no chance of overseas oil fields, but also basically had the attitude of having good or not. However, when China became an oil exporter and oil importer, the central government put forward new requirements for the Petroleum Corporation.
Based on the idea of state-owned enterprises, senior management put forward new ideas. No matter whether the conditions are met or not, they must work hard. It is best to have a typical example to prove their action.
Seeing that 1993 is about to pass, and the ability to move has not been shown, even the general manager who is about to retire, he dares not say he is relaxed in his heart.
He and Chen Lizheng both stared at Su Cheng tightly.
Just now, Sucheng could not be too heartless when he bought other people's land at a fair price. He thought about it and said the truth: "I am going to obtain the oil fields in Azerbaijan first, and then see if Kazakhstan has a chance."
Although they are all franchise republics of the former Soviet Union, Azerbaijan inherits more industries and their domestic politics is relatively stable. Although they are still anxious to exchange black gold for gold, Kazakhstan's oil mining industry is still relatively advanced. In addition, with foreign investors, they are naturally not as easy to talk to as Azerbaijan.
Chen Lizheng and his partner were shocked! Azerbaijan is also a foreign country. The two looked at each other and asked passionately: "Director Su is confident in the oil fields in Azerbaijan? Can you get it?"
Su Cheng knew what they were thinking with his tail, and said lazily: "Dahua Industrial has been planning for this for three years. Of course, he is confident, and it is uncertain whether he can get it."
"It's been three years of planning, and Su Dong is indeed far-sighted." Chen Lizheng praised him. He didn't know whether the three years Su Cheng said were true or false, but everyone was holding the flower sedan chair and complimenting words was not money. He praised him without any slightest comments, but he did not mention the intention of cooperative mining for a while. After all, he has prepared for "3 years", so it's not good to ask for it like this.
However, Su Cheng was unwilling to go around the corner with him and said directly: "If you are interested, I can help you build a bridge in the Caspian Sea area, but it depends on you to bid. To be honest, Azerbaijan is not stable, and Kazakhstan has many foreign companies, and there is no easy way to meet."
"Since that's the case, why did Director Su choose Azerbaijan?" Chen Lizheng frowned slightly, feeling that Su Cheng had the intention of shirking.
Su Cheng curled his lips and said, "I am preparing to take sides. I have prepared $100 million to support a political leader in Azerbaijan to run for president. If he succeeds, I will go to Azerbaijan to bid for the oil field. If it fails, there is nothing to say."
The Aliyev family in Azerbaijan is very famous in the oil industry. Similar to other former Soviet franchise countries, Geidar Aliyev was also a senior official in the former Soviet Union and became a political celebrity after returning to his hometown. However, the current Azerbaijan president is Elicbey of the People's Front. If it weren't for a military coup, he would have had the opportunity to hold the throne of Azerbaijan presidential throne.
However, as far as Sucheng knows, the Aliyev family will last for at least two generations. By the son of Geidar, the Aliyev family was still the ruler of Azerbaijan. Due to the extremely high oil production in the region, the Aliyev family is destined to be an important member of the world's oil circle.
Su Cheng was deeply impressed by such a family when he was studying. Although he was not clear about the coup in Azerbaijan, it did not prevent him from showing kindness to Aliyev, who was at the low point of his political career.
As early as a few months ago, Su Cheng chose Wang Guan and Li Jianxia, and asked Dong Feng's Information Bureau to cooperate with them to go to Azerbaijan to fight the front station. Later, Zhang Jianjun from Xinxing Group fooled him to Azerbaijan and asked him to testify.
Aliyev is currently at home, which is equivalent to stepping down from the throne. With Sucheng's financial support, there is no reason to refuse. Although Sucheng has not met him, he has been through telephone and letters. Both of them have made clear about their investment and goals.
What is not certain now is just when Aliyev will come to power and which plot of land will Sucheng choose.
Chen Lizheng was stunned when he heard the $100 million and said, "The current president of Azerbaijan seems to have just come to power. Are you planning to wait for another four years?"
"In terms of the oil development cycle, 4 years is not long." Sucheng would not involve coup.
Chen Lizheng and his partner were hesitant.
After a moment, Chen Lizheng re-confirmed: "It's really a gamble of $100 million?"
"It can't be considered a big bet. Just bid for the money at that time."
Chen Lizheng shivered his lips and said, "The Petroleum Corporation cannot provide this money."
They are not without money. The purpose of this money is too much beyond the approval scope of state-owned enterprises. If you want to use money like Sucheng, at least one national leader must speak.
Chen Lizheng and the current general manager have no such courage.
The two of them whispered to each other for a while, but Chen Lizheng said, "Since that's the case, please ask Director Su to introduce Nazarbayev to us."
They gave up cooperating with Sucheng to bid for oil fields.
Su Cheng was so happy and said with a smile: "No problem, you can make an outline. When I fly to Kazakhstan in a few days, you can go together."
The two of them were happy again and nodded repeatedly, as if the oil field had already been obtained.
Su Cheng sighed secretly. Kazakhstan's oil fields are not that good. With the current appearance of the general manager of the Petroleum Corporation, it is unlikely that it will be possible to wait for an oil field until retirement.
How can small and medium-sized companies without absolute control compete with giants like the seven sisters of Petroleum? The Petroleum Corporation is considered a behemoth in China, but after China has left China, its teeth are much worse. Basically, the Petroleum Corporation in the international market is equivalent to an old lady with toothless actions. Not only does it act slowly and sluggishly, but it can only rely on saliva to eat. In the era when the competition in the Caspian oil circle is the most fierce, such an old lady has no place to stand.
Chen Lizheng and the others do not feel that they are weak. Just like most people, they always like to attribute their failure to objective reasons. It doesn’t matter if there is no way, and it is also one of the reasons why the oil company complains about itself.
Now that Su Cheng has promised his way, Chen Lizheng and the general manager are both very happy. After the shabu shabu sent by Dong Laishun came, they didn't have to persuade them, and they toasted them repeatedly. They drank three bottles of 56 degrees and then left while singing.
The next day, Chen Lizheng's secretary solemnly gave a new gift, which was the plot on the side of Chang'an Street that I had seen before. It looked like more than 2 acres, or 1,500 square meters. It could be transferred for more than 4 million yuan, which is equivalent to two million yuan per acre.
Even so, Chen Lizheng's secretary was embarrassed to explain: "Because of a building, the price is too low and it is not easy to pass the review. However, we try to leave the things in the annex building. If Director Su doesn't live by himself, it is OK to use it for office work."
"Is it 3,000 yuan per square meter?" Su Cheng saw Xiaodai.
"This is actually more than 7,000 square meters of building area." The secretary whispered: "According to regulations, it must be sold according to building area."
"I understand. Thank you Mr. Chen for me." Su Cheng didn't know what kind of emotions he should show. What is the value of the old houses in the 1980s on the side of Chang'an Street?
Seeing him accepting it with a smile, the secretary at the door smiled and said, "I will definitely convey it. Mr. Chen also said that if you use a plane, it is very convenient for the main company to charter the flight, just explain it one day in advance."
He handed Su Cheng a list before bowing and leaving.
The list is the charter flights owned by AVIC. In 1993, except for the Russian men who would have booked some old cargo planes of World War II, that is, local tycoons like the Petroleum Corporation, they could afford to use charter flights. In the case of high demand, their charter flights are often fixed and can be modified as needed, which is almost the same as private jets, but the aircraft is still under the name of an airline and operated by an airline.
Of course, charter flights are more comfortable than the so-called first-class business class. They not only save the trouble of checking the plane, but also can customize the air route and approximate time. There are fewer international routes to Azerbaijan from the country, and there are not even more so on starting from the stables. Chartering flights can save a lot of trouble.
The most important thing is that such a charter flight must be paid by the Petroleum Corporation.
Another gift.
Su Cheng thought to himself that if Chen Lizheng came to remind him of the way, he would probably be a little unhappy, but he would never be unhappy again and again.
These guys touch people's spleen and stomach accurately.
