The effect of technological progress in reducing ** is obvious. Signatures, seals, secret notes... software programs step by step reduce the possibility of secret operations, especially when a technology was just invented, its preventive effect was the strongest.

Large oil companies in the early 1990s were already familiar with the use of various computer programs. As early as around the 1970s, supercomputers and large computers were used in the petrochemical field, and were the first industrial systems to purchase large and supercomputers. However, the time for computers to enter the oil field to bid is greatly delayed. Although the transparency of bidding may reduce the cost of bidding companies, that cost is not worth mentioning compared with the bidding price.

In less than 10 years, international oil bidding will become an electronic screen bid. All companies, bidding prices and other information will be scrolled on the bidding electronic screen, allowing oil companies to bid again. It is so transparent that the end result will naturally be that the income of oil-producing countries will increase greatly and the profits of oil companies will decrease greatly.

It only takes 5 years to go from earning $10 over $10 to earning $5 in $100.

It can be said that the 1990s was the last decade for oil companies to receive oilfield bidding dividends. The wonderful share contracts and the secret operations every second complement each other, creating the final glory of the seven oil sisters in the 20th century.

Later, oil companies had to rely on management and derivative value to make money.

New energy companies have been laid down a foundation for the power of super oil companies aged 10 or 20 years ago. Half a century of accumulation has not only created countless oil companies with assets of 10 billion US dollars, but also created many wealthy people with assets of 10 billion US dollars, as well as trust funds with assets of 10 billion US dollars. As for the wealthy people with assets of 10 billion US dollars, they were born as early as the Rockefeller period. The complex trust and shareholding system makes it impossible for the modern accounting system to calculate the number of their assets.

Companies of these sizes are almost impossible to be defeated commercially. Companies and individuals with super-scale assets always pursue low-risk or even risk-free strategies.

For example, the diversified investment method has been almost imprinted in the soul of super oil companies since the 1960s.

When the official bidding in Azerbaijan began, there was no super oil company. In the end, they chose independent bidding methods. Compared with super high profits, they obviously care more about super high risks.

On the contrary, 12 large and medium-sized enterprises eventually applied for independent bidding for one or more oil fields, including Dahua Industrial.

Although Sucheng had some expectations, he was still a little surprised.

He doesn't remember how Azerbaijani oil was in the end. He only knows that BP became the big winner.

But now, this BP company has not chosen an independent bidding method in any oil field. Correspondingly, at least 20 oil development companies have chosen to cooperate with BP to bid for oil fields.

After a rough calculation, if BP wants to become a big winner, the joint bidding group it participates in must get more than half of the oil fields!

Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help but turn his gaze to the right. Dukat and his Allied forces sat there, with hundreds of people crowded. They were divided into different small groups, and the discussion was extremely fierce.

For many small companies, the goal is already achieved if they can obtain 10% of the equity of a large oil field.

Su Cheng stared at the representatives of companies that he might not have the name. Such small and medium-sized oil development companies are actually the most, but their strength is not necessarily weak. For example, the Sabada Company, which the Bush family once owned, was founded and operated by the young Bush, and relied on his father's connections and background as a Connecticut senator and Wall Street banker. Such companies may not necessarily have much powerful technology or strong capital, but their performance in bidding is unpredictable. It can be said that the second and third generations of Chinese officials are also doing, and the methods are also generally dirty and ugly. The only difference is that China's development level is low, and the business of the second and third generations of officials cannot help but have too much contact with ordinary people. However, the development level of foreign countries is high, and the ugly side of the second and third generations of officials rarely appears in front of the public.

Su Cheng looked at others, and others were also looking at him.

After a while, Shigeru Nishioka of Japan's Inpex Company came to Sucheng, blocked his sight and said with a smile: "Chairman Su, I heard that Dahua Industrial is going to independently bid for the No. 6 oil field, and we are our opponents."

Shigeru Nishioka was humble, as if he was informing Su Cheng with an attitude of admitting his mistakes. From a polite perspective, it was not easy to do this.

The saying that many people don’t blame can always be reflected in the Japanese. When the other party bent down and bowed, Su Cheng was not aggressive, so he nodded indifferently and said, “Is that so? Then... I wish everyone a smooth life.”

"Thank you." Shigeru Nishioka's skin was rough and had deep wrinkles on his forehead, like drilling workers more than office executives. He said in a sincere tone: "Japan International Petroleum Development Co., Ltd. will form a bidding group with Maracia Petroleum Corporation and Japan Petroleum Corporation to bid for oil fields No. 6, 8 and 9, hereby explain."

He paused and said, "Although it is a competitor, inpex still urgently hopes to cooperate with Dahua Industrial in other fields. After the bidding is over, I hope to discuss this matter with you again."

In the 1960s and 1970s, Japanese-based oil companies made great efforts to enter the world crude oil development field and obtained a large number of oil fields. Judging from the time, if the conditions and management of the oil fields they obtained in the early stage were not ideal, the oil fields should have entered a curve of decline in production capacity. Therefore, like old oil companies, Japanese-based oil companies have a passion for the three oil production.

Su Cheng said indifferently: "It's up to you, please send someone to talk to Dahua. Of course, if you are willing to give up the bidding competition with Dahua, you can talk about cooperation now."

Dahua's three-time oil production technology is planned to be sold for money because it is a technology that is being concentrated on research and development. In two years, Dahua's technology will definitely be updated, and other companies may also develop their own three-time oil production technology.

Shigeru Nishioka did not accept Dahua Industrial's request for technology exchange bidding rights. He will not accept it now, but just smiled humbly and said: "The bidding for the oil field was decided by the president and I have no right to change it. Even so, I still sincerely hope to discuss cooperation with Dahua Industrial in the future."

"Let's talk about it next time."

"See you next time." Shigeru Nishioka bowed 75 degrees again, turned around and walked towards the representative of Exxon Oil Company not far away.

Su Cheng waited for him to walk away and whispered to Zhang Chao: "How many companies are there to bid for the No. 6 oil field?"

"A lot." Zhang Chao spread his hands and said, "The analysis group is discussing which company groups are competitive. As of now, at least 7 company groups have a strong interest in the No. 6 oil field."

Azerbaijan released a lot of oil fields this time, and time is tight. This has caused each company to focus on bidding on a few of the oil fields according to its own strength and focus. Even cooperative bidding is no exception.

The only special thing is BP company.

Since the mid-1990s, the most perverted oil companies have been BP companies that pursue the "elephant" policy. They appear in almost every corner of the world and can always seize the most plump oil fields. Continuous success has prompted them to expand continuously. By selling assets in other departments of the company, BP can obtain a large amount of funds to support their expansion.

Under the guidance of this business strategy, BP even sold its proud chemical group for nearly $20 billion. The huge success made BP's elephant policy increasingly praised by countless business schools. It also praised it as "elephant dance". However, there are very few companies that can truly copy elephant dance. Most of the replicas are between drunk elephants and crazy elephants.

As a British company, BP works more violently than American companies, and naturally more violent than Asian and South American companies, as if it is the representative of the new imperialist companies. In Azerbaijan, only BP companies are determined to win every oil field. For this reason, they organized at least six or seven company groups, which was equivalent to sending three or four times the number of employees in Dahua from the headquarters in order to get the largest number of oil fields.

As it turns out, they did it. Even if they ignored the gains and losses of the Azijiu oil field, BP could still obtain a large amount of oil resources from Azerbaijan.

At present, Dahua Industrial is a dream to fight the complete BP. Sucheng's strategy focuses on the No. 6 oil field, and he only cares about the gains and losses of the No. 6 oil field, and does not care about what achievements the four companies can achieve in the end.

Companies that also pay attention to No. 6 Oilfield are only about one-third of those participating in the bidding group, because No. 6 Oilfield is an offshore oilfield with a natural cost and high technology requirements, which has given up many companies.

Of course, if they knew that the production of Azijiu oilfield would be more than half of that of 11 oilfields, there would definitely be different results.

But for now, it is impossible for all companies to focus on bidding for the No. 6 oil field.

Su Cheng asked, "Which company groups are interested in No. 6?"

Zhang Chao looked at the notes he carried with him and exhaled: "Exxon Group, 4 companies.bp Group, 6 companies. Shell Group, 3 companies. Chevron Group, 5 companies. Total Group, 2 companies. The Japanese Inpex Group, 3 companies, plus the Eni Group formed by 4 companies, and we have at least 8 relatively strong competitive teams. In addition, there are several independent or joint bidding groups."

Based on the information he saw in Aliyev, Sucheng thought for a while and said, "We can't let them bid for the No. 6 oil field so simply. We must find a way to make them compress."

Zhang Chao said in surprise: "How to compress it?"

"The Information Bureau provides information, your strategy department finds a solution." Su Cheng recalled the bidding strategy he learned when he was in school, and he took a breath and said, "Like Japanese Inpex, I remember that they are the money bags of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party. In July this year, the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party stepped down and Prime Minister Ki Miyazawa resigned... Well, internal scandals of the Liberal Democratic Party have been repeatedly. I don't believe that Inpex is clean. Now it is Hosokawa Muhiki, right? The eight-party coalition government, the new party must be poor, we provide funds to them to tighten Inpex's funds, check relevant banks, and verify Inpex's expenses. No matter what, as long as Inpex and Japan Oil Company choose the shrinking strategy, it will be successful."

Su Cheng said so clearly. Of course, he had done research. Zhang Chao nodded quickly and said, "I will send someone to make a plan immediately, but... even if the Japanese New Party is willing to collect money, I probably won't dare to do it too obviously. It is unlikely to force Inpex to withdraw..."

"No need to withdraw, the lower the bids of other companies, the less the price we pay. If you can choose a lower amount inpex, you will win." Sucheng agreed to Aliyev's national loan and other conditions, which means that you can directly get the bidding reserve price of each company from Aliyev. At that time, just look at the bidding documents of other companies and offer a slightly higher price, you can get the Azijiu oil field.

If it is a large oil field like Setan, it is enough to have such preparation. It doesn’t matter if you get 1% more share or 1% less share.

However, Aqijiu Oilfield is a super oilfield. After 2000, its peak production capacity will exceed 1.3 million barrels per day. At the market price of US$100, it means that the daily output value will be US$130 million. Dahua Industrial will receive a 45% share or 46% share, and the difference will be 1.3 million in a day. There will be a gap of US$400 million in a year.

At the same time, the 30-year, 31-year or 35-year contract is even more obvious. If one percentage point is placed in a 35-year contract, it is definitely around 10 billion US dollars. Instead of giving so much money to the Azerbaijani government, Sucheng would rather use it to bribe the political opponents behind several corporate groups.

He spent so much energy on the Azijiu oil field, so he naturally had to make the most profit possible.

Each oil company has its own problems and conflicts. The problems and conflicts formed by several companies will only be more prominent. If you make good use of them, you will naturally get the results that Sucheng wants. After any collective conflicts have them, their solution can only be compromise and conservative. For oil groups participating in the bidding, the primary choice for compromise and conservative is to reduce their bids in the secret bid.

In the end, these bids will return a large amount of profits to Sucheng. Judging from the current Japanese politics, 100 million yen is already very good at bribing party leaders, and 500 million yen is almost enough to give the Prime Minister. In the "Lockheed case" that bribed Tanaka Kakuei, the secret public relations battle adopted by Lockheed in order to forcibly reverse the aircraft contract, only cost 3 billion yen.

Sucheng just wanted a conservative contraction plan, which was initiated by the political opposition. Politicians who believe that mature people have enough means to achieve their goals, and perhaps even if they can't use 100 million yen to fulfill their intentions.

In addition to Japan Petroleum, BP supporters are the current opposition Labor Party. Exxon and Chevron are even more famous sensitive companies. Under the premise of not knowing that the No. 6 Oilfield is a super large oilfield, they are easily influenced by domestic politics. The remaining Shell, Total and Eni, as well as the company groups they formed, also have their own problems. No one is inseparable from fire and fire. As long as you take out the money, there are even special political brokers to provide you with information to achieve your goal.

What made Zhang Chao scratch his head was that the time was too short, and Sucheng's plan was so complicated, involving at least seven or eight countries. Even with mature bribery channels, these things would not be smooth sailing.

However, Zhang Chao could only endure this task. No oil bid was smooth. For oil, Mexico changed its nationalist principles. Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and other countries built a complex and difficult-to-operate OPEC. The Americans beat Iraq twice!

It is so difficult for a country to obtain oil. It is naturally even more difficult for a company to obtain oil while also making profits.

Since the 1950s, oil bidding has always been increasingly difficult. The latest technology, the dirtiest means and the lowest bottom line are like the labels of oil companies. International giants and their shareholders have become more and more good at learning, more and more open, and more difficult to deal with. Companies that do not do this are either relying on their old capital or being merged by other companies that are good at learning...

It won't take long for Sucheng to compress the bidding method, which will become the textbooks that every oil company learns and will be copied at the appropriate time.

From the perspective of oil companies, they are not afraid of complex plans and changing environments, and they do not lack the courage to execute and the courage to bear losses. Their only goal is to succeed.

It can only be success.

No matter what strategy a failed oil company adopts, it is meaningless. No matter what strategy a successful oil company adopts, it is full of value.

One failure may ruin a huge empire, and one success may push an ordinary oil company to the altar.

At this point, Dr. Armand Hammer's Occupy Oil Company can be regarded as an excellent example. Large oil companies that are large and unwilling to fail are often footnotes to the success of flexible and changeable oil companies like Dahua Industrial.

Zhang Chao exhaled gently under the tremendous pressure, greeted Su Cheng, and went out without saying a word and prepared to go.

God knows how long it will take to drive next, and he doesn't have much time to waste it.

Planning a plan, arranging manpower, supervising work, and evaluating the effect... None of them seems to be completed in a few days, and the next few days were originally reserved for each company to prepare bids.
