Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Fourth Bid Opening
China National Petroleum Corporation and China National Offshore Oil Corporation both sent personnel to Azerbaijan and participated in the delivery of the bid.
However, like the previous overseas bidding methods, the team level sent by the two Chinese companies is only at the deputy department level, which is equivalent to the team leading by middle and senior officials. Teams of this level have almost no decision-making power under the model of Chinese state-owned enterprises.
It is definitely an expert-level difficulty for two teams with no decision-making to bid successfully. They not only have to analyze the bidding modes of more than a hundred companies present, but also have to explain clearly to the senior management of the company who are not present, and then convince them... This requires not only basic team quality, but also puts higher requirements on the team. Not to mention the fledgling team of China National Petroleum Corporation, even the tried and tested BP and Exxon Petroleum Corporation, they have to reassemble an experienced bidding group of our company. Coupled with long-term running-in and intelligence collection, they have the hope of getting the same opportunities as other companies.
CNPC naturally understood the truth, so before setting off, it was under the banner of "learning". Currently, China-based companies have very little experience in participating in overseas bidding. They cannot bid successfully and will not be blamed by anyone. Therefore, in the true nature of being a merit, the team of the Petroleum Corporation and the Offshore Oil Corporation of Azerbaijan, not only did not participate in the bribery incident in violation of regulations, but also actively resisted other companies that tried to invite them to violate regulations.
In this way, although the teams of Petroleum Corporation and Offshore Oil Corporation have lost the basis for successful bidding, they are extremely relaxed in the venue.
If bidding is compared to an exam, the spirit of the poor student and the top student is generally firm. The team of the oil company sitting in the corner is still talking and laughing at others' busyness.
Only the team leader Xu Jie looked at the position of Dahua Industrial a little unwillingly. If he had the chance, he naturally hoped to bid for an oil field. However, this kind of thing was like a poor student who wanted to get a full score in the 4 subjects during the college entrance examination. It was a fantasy product and had no practical significance.
Xu Jie's assistant is a charming little secretary. While pouring tea for Xu Jie, she smiled and said, "Dahua Industry seems to have a good chance. Should we talk to Sucheng?"
"What are you talking about?" Xu Jie said with some ease.
The young secretary said strangely: "Talking about oil fields. Don't we often cooperate with Dahua Industrial? The Sino-Kazakhstan oil pipeline has been built, and we are also operating in joint stocks. If Dahua really gets the oil field this time, will it be possible to eat alone? Instead of waiting for the superiors to send someone to discuss, we should discuss the constitution first... At that time, the superiors will definitely look at each other."
The Petroleum Corporation has no expectation of bidding for foreign oil fields, so it does not expect Xu Jie to get an oil field. As for Dahua's cooperation with the Petroleum Corporation, it has become more and more frequent in recent years. With the increase in the scale of Dahua Industrial, its cooperation with the three barrels of oil will naturally widen. Cooperation with Dahua Industrial has become a problem that Petroleum often considers. For cadres of Xu Jie's level, it will be a good political achievement if they can negotiate cooperation on foreign projects.
Xu Jie obviously thought about this question, and quickly shook his head and said, "There are people staring at the oil fields in Azerbaijan."
"Someone is staring at? Liu? You didn't care about these things before?" The young secretary's pink and white thigh gently rubbed Xu Jie, looking straight ahead, pretending to observe the appearance of the bidding official.
"Not Liu."
"That's it?"
"Forest."
"Lin?" The little secretary thought hard, which executive of the company was named Lin... After evicting a few unrelated people, Lin Yonggui's name jumped out of her mind.
The little secretary tightened his knees and his pink and white thighs stopped moving.
Xu Jie felt it and smiled and said, "Do you understand?"
"Vice President Lin? He is going to be the general manager. Still care about this?" In the heart of the little secretary, the general manager of the group is the supreme figure. Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, these names that cannot be heard are naturally far away small places. Not to mention being an alternate general manager, it is a waste to be responsible for any deputy general manager.
Xu Jie sighed: "This is Caspian Oil, the former Transcaucasus oil field. If it is estimated that it is good, the crude oil produced here will be more than the domestic total."
"External...Caucasus?"
"The oil field that Hitler once wanted but did not get." Xu Jie was happy to show his knowledge in front of his little secretary and said with a smile: "If Hitler got it, it might be able to rewrite the history of World War II. This has always been a high-yield oil area."
"The oil fields Dahua obtained can have the size of Shengli Oilfield?"
"It's hard to say. Shengli Oilfield has 200 million barrels a year, and it's still difficult to exceed it. No matter what, getting the oilfield is serious. Even if it doesn't have the scale of Shengli Oilfield, it's still a lot of money."
The female secretary had no idea about the numbers and smiled and said, "How much money is there?"
"200 million barrels of oil are at least 2 billion US dollars." Xu Jie blinked and said, "The oil fields that Dahua bid for overseas are definitely not required to be settled, and the People's Bank of China agreed back then. So... Even if Dahua only gets one-tenth of the oil field, it can still get 200 million US dollars, more than 2 billion yuan."
Stars appeared in the female secretary's eyes, and she quickly pinched her fingers and calculated: "I'm 400 yuan a month, 5,000 yuan a year, and 50,000 yuan a year..."
The representatives of the companies below calculated their own accounts, and the Azerbaijani officials above were not idle, and people kept coming in and out, reporting to Sakbar and Aliyev.
Among them, most of the work is still completed by Sakbar, and Aliyev, the youngest, focuses on companies that have the potential to bid for the oilfield.
At 4 a.m., Little Aliyev called his father, picked up the microphone and announced: "The tender for Oilfield No. 1 has been sorted out, and it is now announced."
The sleepy representatives of various companies all woke up as if they were shocked by thunder.
Little Aliyev didn't mean to wait, and slapped the microphone twice, and said, "The company that was finally obtained was the Total Corporation Group. The basic share increased by 8.5%, the signing fee increased by 20 million US dollars, the franchise exploration time was 3 years, and the franchise took effect time was 35 years."
The Total company group consists of 6 companies. Dozens of people jumped up and cheered.
Other companies looked silently, occasionally with envious and surprised eyes.
The basic share is divided according to annual output. The basic share of the Azerbaijan government is 20%, the basic share of the annual output of less than 5 million is 30%, the basic share of the 10 million barrels is 40%, and the basic share of the 10 million barrels is 50%. The bidding of the Total Group is increased by 8.5%, that is, if an oil field with an annual output of more than 10 million barrels is 58.5%, and when an oil field with an annual output of less than 1 million barrels is 28.5%.
As for the current oil prices and oil development prices, if the oil fields with an annual output of less than 1 million barrels, there is no need to be divided into anything. It is no different from losses. As for the current situation in Azerbaijan, only by obtaining oil fields with an annual output of more than 10 million barrels can one earn the expected high profits. However, oil companies have to bear all risks and costs from development to sales, and then hand over 58.5% of the profits to the Azerbaijan government is also under great pressure.
Su Cheng wiped his face with a wet towel and looked at both sides. Everyone was talking, but no one jumped out to object.
In this way, the conditions of the Total company group are obviously better than other companies. As for how they make a judgment and whether the judgment is correct, that is another statement.
Zhang Chao held his voice down and said in a deep voice: "The performance of the No. 1 oil field is average. Total offers a price of 8.5%, and there is a signing fee of 70 million yuan. I can really make up my mind."
The basic signing fee required by the Azerbaijan government is US$50 million in cash, and Total has issued an added value of 20 million, with a total amount of US$70 million. This money must be paid immediately and is also the deposit required by Aliyev to use to make large loans to foreign bank groups.
The importance of basic sharing and contractual fee is about 6.5:3.5, but the specific judgment is still determined by the Aliyev government.
This is also one of the reasons why companies actively seek ways before bidding. It can be said that unless the offer price of other companies exceeds the offer price in both projects, there is a possibility of being unspoken.
Su Cheng read the number "58.5%" and said softly: "As long as oil prices continue to rise, this share ratio is fine."
Zhang Chao nodded slightly and said, "It's a pity that Fina and Petrobras' bids were conservative. 55.8%, which is far worse than others."
Sucheng looked behind him without saying a word. While he was squeezing other companies in the hope of keeping their offer conservatively, Fina, Petrobras and Spain's Repsol were under similar pressure.
In the end, the No. 1 oil block was not very popular with the company group. The company group participated in Dahua Industrial only gave a 5.8% share increase. The targets with a $5 million signing fee increase were probably not even ranked in the top three.
However, this onshore oil field is not a large or super large oil field. Sucheng doesn't care much about whether it is obtained or not.
In addition to remembering the super oil field of Azijiu, he lacked the impression of other oil fields, but as far as we know, 11 oil blocks have at least one or two oil blocks that do not produce oil. In other words, if you remove the No. 6 oil field, there is about 20% chance that the remaining 10 oil blocks will be purely a loss.
This is a huge risk. Because the oil field does not produce oil, in addition to the loss of the basic contract fee of more than US$50 million, it will also cause huge exploration risks. It is not surprising that another US$100 million is consumed during the three-year chartered exploration period.
If a listed company encounters such oil blocks, it will face the risk of a decline in stock prices, which is really not the best choice.
Because of this, most companies adopt a cooperative bidding approach to increase their ability to resist risks. At least, they will not make market participants think they are lonely fools.
"When all 11 oil blocks are opened, we will adopt the form of a unified signing." Xiao Aliyev explained on the stage, waited for a note, and said: "The result of the oil block No. 2 has also come out. The winning bid is... BP company group, the basic share increased by 9.2%, the signing fee increased by 30 million US dollars, the franchise exploration time is 3 years, and the franchise effective time is 30 years..."
Shorter time, higher basic sharing, and more contract fee.
Accompanied by the cheers of the BP company group, there was more silence.
The cruelty of competition has obviously caught many companies off guard.
With a basic added value of 9.2%, I'm afraid many companies will not give such a number.
After a brief celebration, there is a longer silence.
At 5 a.m., the number three oil blocks and number four oil blocks will be opened.
Little Aliyev said calmly: "The company that was finally obtained in the No. 3 oil block, the company that was obtained was...bp company group. The basic share increased by 8.8%, the contract fee increased by 25 million US dollars, the franchise exploration time was 3 years, the concession effective time was 32 years...The company that was finally obtained was still the BP company, the basic share increased by 11%, the contract fee increased by 35 million US dollars, the franchise exploration time was 3 years, and the concession effective time was 30 years."
In the conference hall, there were only the shouts of bp people.
If the target of No. 3 oil block is a bit lower, the high price of No. 4 oil block completely exceeds the expectations of most companies, which can't help but cast a shadow on the hearts of each company.
Few companies will give 61% of their share to oil-producing countries. In other words, few companies will offer more than 10% of their basic share to increase their value in the bid.
Zhang Chao looked at Sucheng uneasy. The bid was produced by Sucheng. Except for a few full-time staff, no one else knew the company's offer price. This is also a common practice for various bidding companies.
