That night, all bids for 11 oil blocks were completed, and BP was still the big winner, and obtained the equity of 6 oil blocks, Exxon, Total, Shell, Russian Petroleum Corporation, and Dahua Industrial, got the remaining five oil fields.

The French Fina Company, which formed a company group with Dahua, Petrobras, and the relatively big-name Spanish Repsona Company, had nothing to do. They could only rely on signing cooperation and technical contracts with Dahua Industrial in accordance with the previous agreement to build downstream companies. The nature is somewhat similar to the oil service agreement in later generations, but the profit is lower, which is a helpless expedient measure to make up for their respective efforts in bidding.

Sucheng doesn't care how long they can do it. The prelude to oil field development is the most difficult, just like the beginning of a book that is the hardest to write, and it is not an exaggeration to help.

A few years later, if companies such as Fina, Repsol hope to end the agreement, Sucheng would not care. By then, the profits Dahua Industrial alone would be enough to expand into a behemoth.

Representatives of various companies frequently congratulate Dahua Industrial, but the most sincere congratulatory message should belong to the media industry.

In this bidding, except for Dahua Industrial, Sucheng, which adopted an independent bid, the remaining 10 oil fields were obtained by the company group, and only the Russian Petroleum Corporation and Exxon obtained more than 50 oil fields.

For the media, this is the best news subject.

The other five winning companies mean dozens of companies that will share the costs and risks of oil extraction. Historically, among the 11 oil fields in Azerbaijan, at least two of them are dry oil fields, that is, oil fields that can hardly produce oil. With the remaining nine oil fields, about five or six have an annual output of more than 10 million barrels, but only two or three have more than 20 million barrels.

Under the current market conditions, oil fields that produce 10 million barrels of oil only have small profits and oil fields that produce 20 million barrels of oil can be considered profitable. In other words, half of the oil companies that are celebrating happily will cry back in the next three years.

Only half of the remaining can taste the sweetness of victory - after tasting the bitter taste of crude oil.

In the impression of Sucheng, Exxon eventually seemed to have nothing to do and left Azerbaijan. It was no wonder that no one had found the oil field for three years... Of course, Exxon, who has a big family and a big business, would not be shocked. The losses inside the wall were compensated outside the wall, and other companies would inevitably encounter this situation.

The next day was the formal signing ceremony, and Sucheng signed it with 10 pens to commemorate it.

Aliyev also changed three pens every time he signed the letter. When he arrived at Dahua Industrial, he even gave one pen directly to Sucheng, saying with some meaning: "I hope you will have a smooth mining."

He took nearly 500 million US dollars from Dahua Industrial, and Aliyev really didn't want Su Cheng to return empty-handed.

Su Cheng smiled and thanked. He was a little worried at this time. After all, it is not said that it is 100 for whether the Aqijiu oil field in my memory will appear as scheduled. Only when crude oil gushes out can it be considered 100.

The next half day belongs to the media. However, media from various countries tend to be biased in reporting on oil companies. They do not like or care about oil development or oil smelting projects worth hundreds of billions or tens of billions of dollars, but usually like to report commercial projects worth $100 million or even less.

Azerbaijan's oil bidding is valuable to economic media, but it is a bit boring to other media. Anyway, in this world, oil fields always need to be developed, and oil companies always bid for oil fields.

Therefore, although it involves an important oil circle in the world that is second only to the Middle East, the media is still on the surface and completed most of the reports in just half a day.

It cannot be entirely blamed. Oil companies have been at the top of the food chain for at least 60 years, and journalists who always want to reveal the shady stories have probably learned enough lessons.

Liu Jianguo waited until the evening when the media interview ended before he had time to meet Su Cheng, but it only took a few words to say.

Dahua Industrial, which has just finished the bidding, does have too many business.

Despite this, on the morning of the third day, Su Cheng invited Liu Jianguo as promised to go to the oil field for investigation. He was also Liu Jianguo's colleague Wang Yu, who was about the same age as Liu Jianguo. They both graduated from school for six or seven years, with a sense of arrogance from the central government, dressed neatly but did not want to have more contact with ordinary people.

Su Cheng ordered Yang Ming to greet him and took Liu Jianguo on the boat. The two of them casually talked about things before and after school, which was quite relaxed along the way.

However, this is not an easy task after all. It is better to sit two or three small fashions on the bumpy boat. When you arrive at the oil blocks 100 kilometers away from the sea, you will encounter problems that all sea platforms will encounter. The measuring boat is full of equipment and is extremely crowded. The boat is full of steep steel escalators, which are dangerous and complex. The food is simple and easy. Coupled with the sun exposure and the salty sea breeze, the life of the measuring boat is difficult, which is completely different from the sound and color of Baku.

Su Cheng introduced Liu Jianguo to the situation of the measurement ship, and Wang Yu visited casually. He quickly got salty and stenched with crude oil. He was still covering his nose at first, but soon after, he was assimilated.

From time to time, the sound of speedboat machine guns firing in water came from afar. Accompanied by the noise of the ocean, it seemed as if there was an unspeakable loneliness spreading.

"They don't seem to like talking." Wang Yu turned around twice, returned to the restaurant, and said uneasy: "I asked them, but almost no one was willing to answer. By the way, is there any purple potion?"

"Purple Potion, what's wrong?" Liu Jianguo turned his head.

"There was a wolf just now. I happened to be walking fast, so I put it on a piece of iron." Wang Yu rolled up his trousers and smiled awkwardly.

Under the dim restaurant lights, you can see a big lump, but it hits very hard.

Yang Ming went to get purple potion and cotton and helped him deal with it.

Wang Yu looked at the gauze wrapped, took a cold air, and reiterated the old words: "Does the people on the boat not talk? They were all very busy, and no one said anything when they asked."

Su Cheng coughed softly and laughed, "Maybe it's because they are all Central Asians."

Wang Yu was stunned. The light on the boat was either too dazzling or too dark. He remembered that they were all yellow people, but he did not carefully distinguish which country they were from.

Liu Jianguo couldn't help laughing and rescued: "You have also invited Central Asians."

"The main ones are the local workers in Baku." Sucheng said simply.

Liu Jianguo asked: "Dahua also has corresponding technicians?"

Su Cheng nodded: "Yes, yes, but now there are jobs."

Liu Jianguo suddenly realized: "Setan Oilfield?"

"Yes, there are also people who are indispensable to the development there." Cultivating oil workers is not easy. Although Chinese state-owned enterprises rarely care about the role of talents, in such an industry, lack of talents is unstoppable. Moreover, the cultivation of oil workers is also time-consuming. Dahua Industry has long wiped out all the skilled workers in China. Now it relies entirely on training bases in Pudong to increase manpower, and there are not many people sent to Azerbaijan.

Wang Yu said awkwardly: "When tomorrow, I will call the translator to learn about the situation together."

"Oh, we won't go back today." Yang Ming smiled and put away the medicine box.

Wang Yu was stunned again and repeated: "Will you not go back to Baku?"

"We won't go back to land, it will take five or six hours to go back and forth, and we will stay on the boat for two days."

"What about urgent matters?"

"Satellite phone." Su Cheng said, blinking and said, "Baku is not quiet now. Hiding on the boat can save a lot of trouble."

This answer is definitely beyond Wang Yu's imagination. When a narrow crew cabin and a bunk narrower than the door panel appeared in front of him, things beyond his imagination followed one after another.

It will not take until 2000 that the accommodation conditions of offshore oil ships will be improved. Before that, only the captain's room was more comfortable.

Wang Yu had never suffered such a crime. He couldn't stand it in two days and advised Liu Jianguo: "I have taken photos and recorded the data. I heard that it will take some time to get oil. Let's report it first."

Liu Jianguo disagreed and said: "Fei always asked us to analyze the oil production situation in Central Asia, especially Azerbaijan, to judge whether the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline can operate at full capacity. Without the on-site viewing, how can we do it just by listening to Dahua Industrial's statement?"

"Didn't Mr. Su of Dahua Industrial say that if the oil production is insufficient, use a long-term contract instead?"

"Replacement is different from his own oil fields after all. How is the oil fields obtained by Dahua? Is it easy to sign a long-term contract and what are the conditions? We must understand it before we can come up with the charter. Otherwise, if you ask Mr. Fei, you will be embarrassed if you ask me." Liu Jianguo's not only a scene, he really wants to play the role of supervision, and this is also a breakthrough in his personal career.

Wang Yu couldn't resist his reason and went to work again in disappointment.

Before the two of them returned to the land, Xu Jie, the representative of the Petroleum Corporation, hired a ship himself and also came to the surveying ship.

Xu Jie and Liu Jianguo had similar purposes, but they represented different units. Su Cheng was not so polite to him. He only gave two communication certificates, not even a narrow cabin, so the remaining accompanying personnel were allowed to fend for themselves.

The space for measuring boats is limited, which is also a matter of course. Xu Jie and the representatives of the company who came later simply rented a fishing boat and lived there.

Therefore, Dahua Industrial's first first exploration well in Baku was shot in under the gaze of a fishing boat.

This time, Sucheng could not find a more likely location for exploration from the vast ocean. He didn't even know the depth of the Aqijiu oil field, so he could only hand over all these tasks to the conscientious geological engineer.

With the expenses of one million or even tens of millions of yuan each time, the more they first explore the well, the more they will know the situation underground.

At the end of 1993, it ended with harassment from a group of wild cats.
