Chapter 156 Difficulties
Two days later, Su Cheng received a diplomatic package from the Chinese Embassy, which contained information collected by CNOOC about the Setan region.
Although only the initial exploration has been carried out, the proven reserves are 167 million tons, and the water depth is less than 30 meters, which is the most suitable shallow sea oil deposit. Su Cheng thought: If the output of a single well can reach more than 10,000 barrels, the cost will be only $8 at most, maybe less than $5.
This price is cheaper than the onshore oil field of Shengli Oilfield. Those oil wells with more than 90% water content, which cost electricity and labor, have long been abandoned in the Middle East. This is definitely a great thing for countries and companies that have successfully bids, but it means more pressure for bidding.
"The bidding fee is expected to rise. I don't know if there is any new news from the barber." Su Cheng turned his mind, put the document back into the package, and then deposited it in the hotel's safe.
Now there is still more than a month before the bidding. At this time, the location of the oil field should be relatively fast among the bidding companies.
Su Cheng saved the things, returned to the living room and said, "Goro, I'm going out for a while. You stay in the room. If someone sends something, just put it away and don't let others enter the house."
"Undert it." Goro has experienced the fishing boat competition in the port and the ups and downs of international bidding. He is very mature, and he is a courageous and responsible Jingshan man, just like the Jingshan people in the Xikou era.
Su Cheng left him at ease and went to the tailor in Wahaibi's alley to get back a suit. Then ask the other party to order a tuxedo.
Back in the car, he tore open the lining of the suit and found a note from it, in which a paragraph was written in English.
Su Cheng took out a Shakespeare with him. Follow that paragraph, find out the page number and number of rows, and then multiply and subtract it with the agreed formula to get the current bidding price of 41.2 million.
"It's terrible!" Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
This money is naturally not that much compared with oil reserves. However, I didn't see a drop of oil. It was also a challenge for multinational companies to pay $41.2 million first.
In terms of the unspoken rules of the oil industry. 40 million is on the verge of the upper limit. Those oil groups that bid for large oil fields every year have to prepare economic assistance plans with costs of tens of millions or more every year, and these costs may not be returned. It should be spread equally into a successful winning bid.
Behind each $40 million winning bid is the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars in economic assistance plans.
Coupled with the huge exploration cost, Su Cheng was a little nervous.
He has prepared a total of 45 million US dollars... Domestic assets, except for oil, cannot be realized. And. They must be mortgaged as assets to Evergreen Group and Formosa Plastics Group...
Su Cheng closed Shakespeare, looked out of the window, re-precipitated himself, and thought about his decision again.
Participated in international bidding before 1989. It is his only chance to get the oil field in a few years. Because domestic oil fields will never be sold to Chinese private enterprises, this opportunity has been lost. Foreign oil fields will also set up barriers for Chinese enterprises.
Su City does not want to have the knowledge and information he has, because there are fewer and fewer because of politics. Until it loses its effectiveness.
However, the pressure of international bidding still made Su Cheng think to himself: "Am I in a hurry..."
The answer will never appear until the end of the matter.
Bentley stopped lightly in front of the Kempinski Hotel.
The waiter helped him open the door and then stood aside respectfully.
Su Cheng handed out five dollars casually, walked into the hotel with the waiter's smile, and went straight to the swimming pool. He needs to calm down: 41.2 million, which means that the final bidding price will definitely be more than 42 million... Even 45 million US dollars may not be enough.
Although it has been prepared for the third stage of financing for a long time, it should be prepared for the exploration of the oil field.
"It seems that we can only refinance from Formosa Plastics and Evergreen." Su Cheng took a deep breath. It's definitely not easy...
He lowered his head and quickly raised it again. He remembered what the teacher said when he went to school: Never show negative emotions.
Words that were meaningless in those years are so vivid now.
"Mr. Su Cheng, see you again." Moriyama showed his teeth with a smile.
"Mr. Moriyama, I haven't seen you for a long time." Su Cheng nodded slightly, and there was no expression on his face. After all kinds of time travel, his temperament has also been tempered and become more resolute. In fact, every young man who can be a "face bully" has a factor of perseverance.
Moriyamano laughed loudly, attracted the attention of countless people, and said, "Has it been half a month since we last met? I didn't expect that Dahua Industry, which is not favored by anyone, has become a strong competitor. I would like to introduce to you a friend, Mr. Takanobu Ito, vice president of Ito Trading Company.
"Mr. Ito." Su Cheng nodded.
Takanobu Ito is about 40 years old and quite tall, comparable to Sucheng, which is very rare among Japanese people born before the war. When he smiled, he was also arrogant, but he disguised it well and said, "Mr. Su Cheng. We got a rumor that we don't know whether it is true or not. Dahua Industry has got the location of the oil field?
Su Cheng looked directly at him without any expression.
"We also know the location of the oil field. Maybe we can confirm it with each other."
"No need."
"Are you very sure of the source of your information?" Takanobu Ito smiled.
Su Cheng asked, "Don't you believe in your intelligence sources?"
Ito laughed and said, "You are really an interesting Chinese. Maybe we can cooperate."
"No." Su Cheng answered quickly and resolutely.
Ito said in surprise, "Don't you listen to the cooperation content? I believe it must be a condition that you like.
Su Cheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than capital, technology and equipment... I don't need it."
"You don't need it? The situation of Dahua Industry does not seem to be like this. I heard about your financing in Taiwan. Let me guess how much it is? 45 million?" Takanobu Ito directly said the exact number.
Su Cheng said with a stiff face, "You care too much about Dahua Industry. Maybe you can get better returns if you transfer the target to the United Arab Emirates.
"I know how to defeat you, 45.5 million." Takanobu Ito held his head and said, "If you don't cooperate with us, we will raise the bidding price to 45.5 million."
"From 30 million to 45.5 million? Just because my total amount of funds is so much? Su Cheng showed his post and said, "This is not even evidence. At best, it is the basis. Can the shareholders of Ito Trading Co., Ltd. agree?
"I have won the consent of the president. The major shareholders of Ito Trading Company are all members of the Ito family.
"Family members are the most troublesome, right? As long as you have a problem, someone will blame you immediately. Su Cheng smiled and said, "If you are willing to bid according to the total amount of funds of China's Dahua Industry, it's up to you."
Takanobu Ito said carelessly, "The price will eventually rise."
"Oh?"
"It's Sertan, isn't it?" He said lightly, "The reserves of 1 billion barrels have been preliminarily explored, and it will increase in the future."
Su Cheng was shocked.
He thought that Ito Trading Company had obtained an unstable source of information, maybe it was still obtained by means. However, only a few people can get the location of the oil field. Kings, crown princes, maybe two or three more chiefs, but not all of them.
In fact, Su Cheng did not see the crown prince. He only contacted the crown prince through his cronies around the crown prince.
However, rich developed countries such as Japan and Switzerland can have direct contact with crown princes and kings if they can convince their leaders.
"If Dahua Industry has the intention to cooperate, come to me again." Takanobu Ito left with a smile.
Su Cheng knew that he was looking for oil concessions.
Ito Trading Co., Ltd. will never dare to sign the underwriting agreement of 180 billion tons of liquefied natural gas. However, if Dahua Industry undertakes this underwriting agreement, Ito Trading Co., Ltd. shares oil concessions, which is a very cost-effective deal for them. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you pay some money and the expenditure on the equipment.
As for the intelligence relationship held by Su Cheng, as a addition, it is estimated that it is also very suitable for the appetite of the Ito family.
Su Cheng walked into the swimming pool without saying a word. Under the service of the waiter, he changed into brand-new swimming trunks, walked out of the locker room with a towel, and then jumped directly into the heated swimming pool.
The water is a little cooler than the temperature outside, just like washing your face with tap water in summer.
Su Cheng slowly sank to the bottom of the pool, sat cross-legged, thinking in an extremely quiet environment...
The lifeguard jumped into the pool and saved Su Cheng, who had disappeared for a minute.
Su Cheng pushed him away, took a few breaths, and sank into the swimming pool again.
The lifeguard was used to all kinds of sentient beings in the hotel, so they had to stay by Sucheng. Kempinski has several swimming pools with different depths and lengths, and naturally there are other lifeguards on duty.
Su Cheng poked out of the swimming pool every more than a minute.
Water and quietness allow him to think better.
Su Cheng knew in his heart that when he reached this point, no matter how accurate the future information was, he could not help himself. Everything depends on the opportunity.
Just like the bidding gold, it always changes according to the bidder.
He climbed out of the swimming pool, wiped the water off his body, found the phone, called the Hong Kong branch of Formosa Plastics Group, and informed them to add another $10 million. Naturally, this is extremely difficult. It is estimated that when Wang Sheng and others see it, they will get angry again.
Su Cheng shook his head and went back to his room to rest.
Of course, he can't be the only one who feels difficult. Zhang Haochang is also desperately calling to fight for the underwriting of natural gas, while Ito Trading Company is working hard to get more funds.
Even a company with billions of assets cannot casually increase by $5 million. The difficulty exists for everyone.
