Chapter 360 Giving Up Compensation
Alikse stroked his palm and laughed, like a resurrected pig's head, and the contract was about to be signed.
Li Zhengfu advised: "The agreement for racing exploration needs to be carefully considered. Please allow us to discuss it."
Alixe was unwilling to say, "We can discuss the main framework now"
He wants to take advantage of the people around him. Arikesse himself understands that if it were not for the sake of attracting 3 other Russian companies, two Asian companies would never have signed a racing contract. They would rather give up than adopt this extremely costly and risky method.
However, the benefits of the racing contract to Arikesse are obvious. No matter how fast the speed of Dahua Industry is, there is one more consortium of Xinma Company and Ito Trading Company, the exploration speed of his oil field will only be faster. If you are lucky, you may be able to produce oil in just a few months.
For these gentlemen who have just changed from senior Soviet officials to rich Russian businessmen, there is nothing more valuable than "fast". If he can get $1 a minute earlier, he may be able to buy more national assets worth $10,000. The future is chaotic, just like the future of Russia, so in order to make money early, they don't mind overdrawn the future.
Similarly, this advantage of the forerunner will also prompt other Russian businessmen to choose oil service companies as soon as possible. Perhaps, without waiting for the oil from Alyxe's oil field, a decisive advantage can bring a considerable number of orders.
The eyes of the Russians around him also prove this point.
Su Cheng and Li Zhengfu both realized the situation they were facing, and made a decision in an instant and said, "Okay."
Alizhise immediately said, "I think the labor contract is more appropriate. How about $2 per barrel?"
The labor contract pays a sum of money to the technical service company for every barrel of oil extracted. With the passage of time, the rise of oil prices and the strength of oil-producing countries, after 2000, labor contracts have gradually become the mainstream of international oil contracts. For example, the contract that Sucheng got in the Setan oil field in the United Arab Emirates disappeared in the year of the bid, and even thought about it after 2000. This is also the main reason why Su City tried his best to get the Setan oil field in those years.
However, in the early 1990s, labor contracts were not popular, and two dollars was also the price of cabbage.
Su Cheng said without hesitation, "Regardless of the price, Dahua Industry only signs a sharing contract."
The sharing contract is to get a percentage of the income according to the price of oil, and it is also the contract that international oil traders are trying to obtain.
Of course, international crocodiles are all milky. They obey the rules just because they abide by the rules and get more milk. An energy technology service company like Halliburton, because of its big family and business, will eventually sign a labor contract for a large oil field. Dahua Industry is different from the fact that the total number of contracts it can accept is limited. Instead of making small profits and selling more, it is better to make more money.
In terms of making money, Li Zhengfu and his interests also said, "New Malaysia also tends to be divided into joint companies."
"The interest and share contract of financing will squeeze me dry." Aliksey smells a little complaining.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "We can discuss a financing method for the interests of both sides."
"Su Dong promised me that I could be a billionaire. How to be a billionaire in terms of divided into contracts..." Aricello became wordy.
This time, Li Zhengfu, Ito Nobushige and Su Cheng did not mean to give in.
What Alikse didn't realize was that the price of his oil field would invisibly turn into the technical guide price of other oil fields. Therefore, the other party would rather procrastinate than easily agree to his terms.
A few points were cut out one by one, and soon tended to be professional, which made Alixe a little unable. The Russians around also looked extremely bored.
However, this is a joint company involving hundreds of millions of dollars. It is not for fun in the first place. No matter how boring you are, you can only bear it, and you have to use your brain and think carefully.
After them, a blazing flame burned in the sky.
Someone keeps running around, bringing the latest news and the latest upper instructions.
Some dark stains flew in the sky, accidentally landed on the good fur, and the forehead outside also became dirty. Everyone's sense of sight and smell are useless, but no one cares.
They talked from the early morning to the morning, and then continued to talk while having brunch, while taking off their clothes.
After the fur was taken off into a windbreaker and the windbreaker was turned into a sweater, a group of people began to drink a lot of coffee to keep warm, then put on a windbreaker and put on the fur. At this time, the sun was already setting.
It was not until it was cold outside that the three parties reached a reluctant agreement.
If Xinma Company and Ito Trading Company fail to compete in exploration, they will give up exploration compensation, provide financing, and obtain oil-sharing income for 15 years.
Dahua Industry in Sucheng also gave up exploration compensation and provided financing, but chose a stone labor contract of $3 per barrel in the first three years, and later obtained 15% of the oil share in the year.
In other words, there must be one of the two sides, which will lose tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in exploration costs. It is equivalent to the winner eating all, but the loser has no blood.
Li Zhengfu is only a vice president. He made such a big decision that he couldn't help sweating. Finally, when I signed the memo, I trembled slightly.
Ito Nobushige and Su Cheng are a little better, but they also look nervous.
The simple signing ceremony was completed, and the exploration area was marked on the map.
Li Zhengfu relaxed and mocked Su Cheng, "Su Dong really likes gambling. The three-year oil labor contract costs a lot less than the 15% share of Shetong. You are betting on the rise in the price of oil... I don't know if the last extra one-year oil share contract can make up for the losses.
"If the price of oil rises sharply, the board of directors of Xinma Group knows that you have given up a huge amount of income for a small profit. I don't know if they will resign you. That's right. You can't get this contract anyway..." Su Cheng counterattacked and complained: I'm not gambling, I just know.
Li Zhengfu hummed and said, "Russia will produce a large amount of crude oil in the next few years, and it is certain that oil prices will remain stable and falling. In 15 years, oil prices may be much higher than they are now, but so what? The difference and inflation in the first few years are enough for you.
International oil prices in the first half of the 1990s were indeed weak, reaching a bottom of $20. This is also one of the reasons for Russia's economic downturn. It was not until the Clinton era in the late 1990s that the strong recovery of the world economy created high oil prices and was out of control. By the way, Putin, who came to power in 2000, was cheaper.
Su Cheng will not discuss this with Li Zhengfu. He smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to care about the price of oil. I'm happy to earn more and less."
If Alixar's oilfield contract becomes a guiding price, Dahua Industry is likely to obtain a stable and strong cash flow, which will be more than one or two billion US dollars in a few years.
However, as the vice president, Li Zhengfu's preference for the benefits of the early stage is also acceptable. Even if he knows that the price of oil will be higher in the future, he will have some tendencies for his own interests. Because in 15 years, Sucheng will still have Dahua Industry, but Li Zhengfu may not necessarily belong to Xinma Group.
Before leaving, Li Zhengfu said lustfully, "I'd like to see how you can beat Xinma Group in racing exploration. By the way, I have received the full support of the board of directors.
The Singapore Group has the state-owned assets of the Singapore government and the Malaysian government, which has the full support of the board of directors, which means that it has the support of the two governments. This is a key factor in the international oil competition.
Ito Nobushige also sighed, "Ito Trading Company will also fully support the exploration of the Kuwak oil field."
Ito Trading Co., Ltd. is one of the world's top 500 companies. Like most of our trading companies, their business is very extensive, but their core business is often not much. Fully supporting oilfield exploration means that resources are tilted. Naturally, it will not be good news for Dahua.
Su Cheng smiled and waved his hand and left.
Racing exploration has been determined, and the result will be more important than the process.
Alixe has the exploration right of the Kuwak area, with an area of three times that of the Skol oil field, with an area of 12,000 square kilometers, which is larger than that of ordinary prefecture-level cities in China, but it is less than 1% of the area of 1.5 million square kilometers in the Tyumen oil area. In the West Siberian Note the small generation.
The distance between the two is not too far, but the road conditions are so bad that it can be said that there are almost no roads. The road run over by the off-road vehicle is muddy, and almost every few kilometers, a car will get stuck in it.
Such an oil field, even if it is initially explored, there is no way to start drilling immediately. It is not realistic to rely on helicopter transportation equipment.
It is also unpleasant to take a helicopter. The stupid black and thick equipment leaks everywhere, and the cold air pours into it. The unique bumps of military aircraft are disgusting. Xiao Pang was uncomfortable with airsickness and complained supply: "Look how comfortable it is for oil companies in European and American countries. They directly contract ready-made oil fields in Russia. Ten people's wide road, flat driving through, receiving oilfield equipment, drilling, how much oil you get is your own. The Russians can't even come out. Why did you come to us and have to do exploration? It's so unfair."
As a master, Su Cheng had no obligation to explain. Through the headphones, he said lightly, "In an unfair year? Do you know why some people sit in the helicopter and bump, and some people are tied to the helicopter to bump?
"How can anyone be tied to the helicopter?" Xiao Pang laughed loudly.
Su Cheng also laughed: "European and American oil companies have also fought for half a century to have their current status and strength. Those guys who don't want to fight and make noise will be kicked out of the bumpy car and sit on the bumpy luggage rack.
The little fat is as cold as a cicada.
