Chapter 155 Win-win
Ibrahim is a thick man, sitting at the dining table and can cover almost all the tables in the back.
When Su Cheng and others came in, he was biting the straw to drink coconut milk. The milky ** kept disappearing in his big mouth, which was a little scary to look closely.
"Minister Ibrahim, these are my friends." Su Cheng introduced and sat opposite Ibrahim, with Kang Qingfeng and Zhang Haochang sitting around.
Ibrahim drank the coconut milk in the glass in one gulp, touched the ** at the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Are you a little like Japanese, or are all Asians like this? Please sit down. What do you want?"
"A glass of orange juice is fine."
"The two of us also want orange juice."
Abram called the waiter and said, "5 cups of orange juice. 2 cups are sugar-free. In this kind of ghostly weather, you need to replenish more water.
He smiled twice and let the waiter go. He took out an envelope from his big pocket and handed it to Su Cheng, saying, "What you want."
Su Cheng took it in his hand. First of all, he rudely checked the seal on it, and then smiled and said, "Thank you for your dinner. Let's leave first."
At this time, Zhang Haochang and Kang Qingfeng realized that the Minister of Petroleum was just a messenger.
The only regret is that the dinner was over without even seeing the shadow of orange juice.
Su Cheng took two people all the way into the bathroom, closed the door outside, raised the envelope, and said, "Now, I'll give you the location of the oil field, and you will give me all the relevant information, okay?"
"Of course, we can sign the contract." Zhang Haochang is quite positive. The location of the oil field is very important. It directly affects the price of oilfields. There is an essential difference between tens of millions of tons of oil fields and 100 million tons of oil fields, and the depth of the oil layer is also related to the cost of exploration and exploitation. Although the location of the oil field will be announced a few days before the bidding, it will be too late, not to mention formulating policies, and it is too late to analyze the data.
Su Cheng laughed. He said, "What kind of contract do you want to sign? You just need to guarantee it."
"Guaranteed." Zhang Haochang smiled shyly and said, "Now foreigners are talking about signing contracts and fair cooperation."
"Fair cooperation?" Su Cheng laughed and said, "This bidding. Where do you see the fairness?"
Zhang Haochang giggled twice. Since he went abroad, he has been laughing more and more like this. Just like his situation when he studied abroad.
Su Cheng tore open the envelope.
In fact, there is only one piece of paper in it, which is a small font of about size 4: satan.
He handed it to the other two, and Kang Qingfeng immediately read it out: "Setan. Sertan is in the north of Abu Dhabi. Good boy, this is a large oil field. The reserves must be more than 150 million tons, and the exploration is not complete. If a comprehensive exploration is carried out, it is certain to exceed 200 million tons. Good boy!"
Kang Qingfeng and Zhang Haochang are extremely excited.
Su Cheng rubbed the lighter and lit the envelope.
Zhang Haochang wanted to use it as evidence. Just think about it for a while, but said sincerely, "Sudong, you have helped us a lot. It's really... I will report it truthfully. You don't have to worry about the information of the Setan area. We, CNOOC, will be ready.
"I will also report it truthfully. It's very helpful for us to get this information. Kang Qingfeng nodded vigorously and said with a gloomy expression, "Dong Su, if there is no breakthrough, we will not be able to hold on."
"How come."
"The United Arab Emirates requires economic cooperation to go first, while the domestic one requires at least to know the location and reserves of oil fields. There is also the possibility of bidding before moderate economic cooperation can be carried out. However, the funds given by the above are small, and it is still controlled by the leader who knows nothing. So..." Kang Qingfeng smiled shyly and said, "If you don't give us the oil field location..."
"It's not as serious as you said. You will always find a way." Su Cheng said so, and thought to himself: Whether I help or not, with this attitude in China, the probability of successful bidding is low enough. Economic cooperation is the minimum requirement of the country where the oil field is located, and CNOOC's "introduction" is no exception.
Seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles only shows the lack of confidence in the Ministry of Energy and the three major central enterprises.
Su Cheng also sympathized with Kang Qingfeng and Zhang Haochang. Foreign bidding companies are both private and state-owned enterprises. Either way, it is necessary to consciously gather our own strength in the process of oilfield auction.
Kang Qingfeng and Zhang Haochang's heels are too shallow to promote oilfield bidding at all.
Su Cheng thought to himself: From beginning to end, the Ministry of Energy has always been thinking about picking up cheap things. First, the proportion of Dahua Industry was reduced. Unexpectedly, I took the initiative to withdraw, so I sent a weak delegation of three people... If they have achieved results, there will naturally be a steady stream of reinforcements to receive achievements. If they fail, the bitter fruit can only be left to themselves...
"Let's do this first. Let's meet again when there is a chance." Su Cheng nodded to the two.
"That... Minister of Petroleum, Ibrahim really doesn't know the location of the oil field?" Zhang Haochang couldn't help asking.
"He doesn't know."
"Who knows? I know I shouldn't ask, but our eyes are really black. Zhang Haochang is about to cry, and the pain of foreign bidding is unspeakable. Especially when Chinese enterprises lack foreign exchange, they have to spend hundreds of dollars on accommodation every day in order to support the scene, and they have to use foreign exchange for all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation... In the case of thrift, they also have to rack their brains to get information from other countries...
Even if you do business in your own country, with the same appearance, the same currency and the same customs, you will encounter countless difficulties when going to other places to bid, especially in other provinces, not to mention from China to the Middle East.
These are not the most terrible, the most terrible is to give without return. In an international bidding, there can only be one winner. Even Su Cheng is like walking on thin ice.
He has a relationship with the crown prince. God knows which company has contacted the king's chief. God knows which developed head of state will suddenly visit the United Arab Emirates, and then start a strategic dialogue, and then make a "oil for food" or "oil for arms" plan...
Before the bid is opened, everything is unknown.
This kind of torture is quite difficult for those long-tortured bidders. It is even more difficult for non-professionals who have never tried overseas bidding and may only have one overseas bidding.
Su Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Royal Family."
"We heard that the decision is in the hands of the king or the crown prince?"
"Yes."
"How can they guarantee that they win the bid? I mean, we have to bid after all. If our price is high, we won the bid? How did the king and the crown prince decide?
"You really don't know?" Su Cheng looked at Zhang Haochang in surprise.
Zhang Haochang said with shame, "We have got a lot of information and information. After so many days, some information and information proved to be wrong. We Chinese have never played this set of tricks for international bidding. They are all hearsay information..."
"I see." Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "For the sake of the same Chinese, you don't have to throw a high standard stupidly. This time, the hidden bid of the United Arab Emirates is not a hidden bid that no one can see. Both the king and the crown prince can get other people's bidding information.
"What about us bidding in the last three minutes?"
"It can't be without warning before bidding. Even if it is an increase of 1 million dollars, you still need to discuss with the country, right? Other companies are similar. Of course, if you vote for a high bid that is not profitable for everyone, you will naturally win the bid, but it is not in line with the rules.
Zhang Haochang couldn't wait to take out a small notebook to make a record. In 1988, when these international secrets still worked, these secrets were still secrets. They could get some fake news, but without the explanation of Su City, it was difficult for them to make a real judgment.
When Su Cheng finished talking about the way to win the bid, Zhang Haochang asked again, "What about the oil concession? How did you get the oil concession? We haven't heard that you have applied to the Ministry of Energy or the head office for economic cooperation.
Su Cheng shook his head secretly, thought for a moment, and said, "This is the last question. Anyway, you are about to know. I promise the United Arab Emirates to sell 18 million liquefied natural gas.
"18 million!"
"Yes, 18 million."
Zhang Haochang and Kang Qingfeng were all stunned.
It took great patience for them not to say the word "crazy".
Kang Qingfeng came from Sinopec. At this time, he couldn't help saying, "Our country's own oil and natural gas are basically enough. I estimate that China can consume up to 3 million tons of oil and natural gas. If there is more, it won't work. Where can we get the remaining 15 million tons?"
"The traditional market in the United Arab Emirates is still OK. In addition, more than 3 million tons can be consumed in China.
"Oh?"
"After the oilfield contract is signed, the underwriting contract for oil and gas will definitely be postponed. I will ask to put it in the second half of the year, or start the calculation in the first half of next year. In this way, a batch of synthetic ammonia equipment can be installed in China, plus natural gas power generation equipment, and the consumption of 5 million tons, or 6 million tons, is promising. Su Cheng explained it very seriously.
Zhang Haochang understood and whispered, "Do you want us to help you turn it off?"
If they can return Sucheng's favor because of this, they are also willing to do so.
Su Cheng said calmly, "You guys just have to say it for yourself. Otherwise, what other economic cooperation can you sign with the United Arab Emirates? Consumption of agricultural products?
Zhang Haochang blushed. He originally wanted to engage in economic cooperation in agricultural products. In this way, the total amount is smaller after all.
It's just that compared with natural gas, agricultural product collaboration is pure consumption.
Zhang Haochang thought to himself: If the underwriting of 6 million tons of natural gas is added, and some other transactions are probably almost the same.
He also understands that once he persuades the Ministry of Energy to sell 6 million tons of natural gas, Sucheng will also make use of it.
When he owns the oil field, he naturally has this kind of persuasion.
