Chapter 567 Ganzhiruo

Su City sat opposite Aliyev's desk, slowly and carefully looking through the documents.

The head of each document is stamped with the "secret" Russian alphabet with a red seal. Two well-dressed officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one of whom stood on the left, carefully opened the file bag, and took a count of the documents inside before handing them over to Su Cheng. The other person stood on the right and was responsible for reloading the documents that Sucheng had read into the file bag. The documents could only be read, not take notes, let alone copy and take photos. Whenever Su Cheng reads a document, the file can no longer be opened. Therefore, Su Cheng read it very seriously, as if he couldn't wait to remember it in his mind.

He also had no choice but to do it. These documents are the tenders for oil companies to "declare bidding for oil fields". They contain not only the oil blocks they declared, but also the company's qualifications. From the perspective of competition, these qualifications are very important. For example, the Italian Eni Group has set up a new branch with a capital of 300 million US dollars. Fight against Azerbaijan.

In terms of Azerbaijan's contract fee requirements, the capital of $300 million means that the Italian Eni Group is not ready to compete for all the oil blocks. It is most likely to focus on bidding for one or two oil blocks, and the other oil blocks are just involved. Not only that, the amount of money is not even enough to make offshore drilling platforms, which means that their goal does not include five Caspian oil fields, but one or two of the remaining six land oil fields.

Although it was a wrong decision, it gave Su Cheng the right information.

In addition, the preliminary personnel composition, construction years, etc. of each oil company will also be disclosed in the bid. These details are all internal information that is hard to buy outside.

Although Dahua Industry has the setting of business intelligence, it is difficult to give Dong Feng and Liu Yi another five years to get what Sucheng has seen so far.

In the final analysis, they mainly complete the intelligence collection work through intelligence trading, and the top intelligence is often difficult to buy with cash.

In the face of the declaration documents of dozens of companies, Su Cheng knew that he could not remember all of them, so he also analyzed them and tried to remember the important information of those important companies. Despite this, dozens of documents still made him dizzy.

Aliyev sat in his chair. When he was tired of reviewing the documents, he looked at Sioux City, and suddenly became more energetic.

He owed a lot of favor to Sucheng. Therefore, even the top-secret information that should not be leaked was leaked at the request of Sucheng. It can be said that the documents that Sucheng has read now will undoubtedly affect the final benefits of Azerbaijan.

However, without the support of Sucheng, Azerbaijan today would not have had these benefits.

Aliyev is not a ruthless person. Although he once thought about repudiating his debts, he finally acquiesced to that heavy human feelings under all kinds of news about the city of Sioux.

Azerbaidzhan needs not only oil companies, but also oil companies that firmly support him. This idea is not only in Aliyev, but also in other senior Azerbaijani officials.

There is no oil company that doesn't eat meat. The only difference is the appearance of eating. Dahua Industry in Sucheng has been operating in Azerbaijan for so long, it is natural to get a little good impression.

The office is extremely quiet, with only the rustling sound of pens and the sound of page turning.

After an afternoon, Aliyev did not urge himself to eat and come back, and Sucheng was still silent.

Speaking of which, he was not so serious when he was studying.

It was not until 7 p.m. that the officer on the right sealed the last document and saluted and left. Aliyev asked with a smile, "There is still an hour to celebrate, and it's too late to go back. I'll ask someone to help you bring all the clothes."

"Thank you, Mr. President." Su Cheng stood up with a sense of trance at the end of the exam. He shook his head twice, stood firm and smiled, "My head is a little dizzy."

"Drink some water." Aliyev smiled slightly, let Su Cheng slow down for a moment, and asked, "I heard that you have a special interest in oil block No. 8?"

No. 8 oil block is a cover, but no one is sure about this point except Su City.

Now, Su Cheng did not expose it, but said tentatively, "If Dahua Industry has special needs for a certain oil field, will the President agree?"

"Are you trying to ask, do I agree with Dahua Industry to get the No. 8 oil block?"

Su Cheng pondered for a moment: "It doesn't just refer to No. 8."

Aliyev laughed and said, "It turned out to be a cover."

Su Cheng said awkwardly, "It's not a cover. If you can get the No. 8 oil block, Dahua Industry will also be very satisfied."

"So that's it. So you have special needs. Which oil block is it? Aliyev looked up and returned to the style of a great bureaucrat. In those years, when he was a minister of the Soviet Union, his status was higher than now.

In a word, Sucheng stood at the crossroads: Now, should we expose the target oil block of Dahua Industry to Aliyev?

The reason for not being exposed is sufficient. He can use a few oil lumps to prevaricate Aliev, who will not force him to ask. However, if Dahua Industry wants to get any oil block, it will eventually have to go through Aliyev's consent. If it is not handled well, it may be beaten.

The most ideal state is naturally to tell Aliyev the oil block he chose, and Aliyev also acquiesces to this point and helps.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Aliyev is willing to secretly inform the reserve price of other oil companies in Sucheng during the bidding period, he will be 80% sure to help Dahua Industry lock in the oil field.

Of course, there is another possibility that Sucheng informed Aliyev of the oil block he had chosen. And Aliyev turned to cooperate with other companies.

Although this possibility is not great, in view of the importance of the Azijiu oil field, in case Aliyev finds the super reserves of this oil field after investigation, there will be few German norms to hinder him.

Su City is in a dilemma that is difficult to decide.

Unlike ordinary inter-company bidding, the president of a country is the best and the most difficult to bribe.

The reason for the bribery is that the president has no legal danger and will not encounter the German crisis. As long as you dare to give it, he will dare to accept it. Not only collecting money, gold and jewelry, real estate silver and even arms, drugs and black technology, there is nothing he dares not take. As far as the current tension in Central Asia is concerned, Sucheng is sure that if there is a nuclear bomb in front of Aliyev now, he can still hold it in his arms.

It's not easy to say bribery because the cost of bribing the president is very high. If you don't judge well, the bid may be high enough to work for the president. If the bid is too low, it may be counterproductive.

Therefore, companies that pursue cost performance generally choose to bribe the people around the president, which has the same effect but obviously saves a lot of money. Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. Uncertainty and risk are higher than bribing the president, and if another company chooses to bribe the president, the other party will definitely be able to intercept it.

Whether it is bribing the president or bribing the people around the president who can't worship the temple gate with the pig's head is still the most common.

Sucheng can now talk to Aliyev face to face, which also stems from the trust they have established for a long time. If it is replaced by Shell and other European and American companies, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet Aliyev. Such private occasions are even more difficult...

In just over a dozen seconds, Su Cheng was sweating profusely.

He seemed to be taking an important exam. When he opened the paper, he found that there was only one multiple-choice question, which was surprisingly difficult.

In fact, he is going through an important exam, not only for him, but also from Dahua.

Aliyev is an old-fashioned Soviet, behind his flashing little eyes, and his mind is hard to guess.

The reality did not give Su Cheng too much time to hesitate.

After a while, Su Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "What I really value is the No. 6 oil block, the Zireg area 100 kilometers east of Baku."

"No. 6 oil block?" Aliyev quickly recalled and asked, "Why?"

"According to the analysis of our experts, it is most likely to have a super oil field there." It is impossible for Su Cheng to say that this is a big oil field in his memory, which can only be explained in the most credible words.

Aliyev stared at Sucheng for a few seconds, smiled and said, "Okay, that's the No. 6 oil block. I'll give you a chance to make an offer."

Price?

Su Cheng was puzzled for a moment and realized in an instant that Aliyev was openly soliciting bribes.

However, it's not surprising that when he didn't go on stage, he dared to take 50 million US dollars in one go. Now he must have a bigger appetite.

However, did he ask for bribes from himself or Azerbaijan?

Su Cheng thought that his brain hurts and thought: Whoever says that the more brain is used, the more intelligent he will be. The person who said this must not use his brain.

He didn't think about it at all. For the face of Aqijiu Oilfield, he simply said generously, "Don't let me make an offer. If you have any requirements, just mention it directly. As long as I can do it, I will try my best."

Aliyev smiled in surprise: "So, do you really like the No. 6 oilfield?"

"Of course."

"No. 6 is an offshore oil field. You haven't driven a drill, and you dare to pay a high price?" Aliyev said and asked himself, "I heard that Dahua Industry got a batch of Soviet information. So is it true?"

Before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soviet City ran around in Moscow, and the most information was obtained. However, the Aziziu oil field was not explored by the Soviet Union.

In this regard, Su Cheng did not say anything. He pretended to drink some water, put down the cup and said, "Dahua Industry hopes to bid for the No. 6 oil block independently. If you can get it, there is nothing else to ask for."

With the strength of Dahua Industry, he can't ask for anything else. I don't know how many oil companies have come to Azerbaijan. Large oil companies around the world should have come. Just count it casually, there are more than 20 PetroChina companies that are more than the current one. Azerbaijan seems to have taken out 11 oil fields, which is a big deal among oil-producing countries in recent years, but if we want to achieve every oil company It's impossible to divide one.

If you are qualified and ambitious to get an oil block independently, either the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, or the relationship is strong. As far as the situation in Azerbaijan is concerned, most companies qualified to bid for oil fields independently will also choose to focus on bidding for several oil fields, and then participate in the bidding for other oil fields. Some traditional established oil companies will prohibit companies from independent bidding for reasons of risk control and capital management, and only use the mode of equity bidding.

Compared with other large companies, Dahua Industry has the advantage of flexibility. If BP's Ducat wants to bid for an oil field, he has to report the leaders of the third and fourth floors to the above, and Sucheng only needs to make his own decision.

In the face of the known super oil field Aqijiu, Sucheng is indeed "seeking nothing else".

Aliyev didn't seem to have any intention to delve out. He confirmed Sucheng's attitude. He took out a note from the drawer, handed it over, and said, "My request is on it. If you can complete it, the No. 6 oil field will be yours."

Su Cheng suppressed his mood and took the note full of words. In the first eye, he let him take a breath: national loan: 3 billion US dollars.

This is not more than ten years later. How much foreign exchange did China have in 1993? Dahua Industry has a lot of foreign exchange cash outside the control, but there are not so many, let alone use it like this. In addition, Aliyev's national loan and corporate loan are also two different things. If you use the arrow's knee, you will know that the interest rate must be ridiculously low, maybe it is a medium- and long-term interest-free loan.

If it is put in 2005 and let the [China] government take out a loan of 120 billion US dollars, it is really not difficult. Even after 1998, the loan model of [China] Bank of China will change a lot... But in 3394, I'm afraid that only developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan can quietly take it out. This kind of large amount of cash.

Sucheng looked up at Aliyev. Seeing that he had returned to the state of reviewing documents, he had to continue to look down: light industrial products, diplomatic support, petrochemical industry chain... These are not unusual, but they can't be said to be very easy.

"I see." After a long time, Su Cheng folded the note and put it in. Bag.

"Did you agree?" Aliyev looked up at him.

Su Cheng pretended to smile bitterly and said, "I don't have the capital to refuse."

"The national loan will arrive within half a year, okay?" Aliyev is poor and crazy now. Not to mention 3 billion dollars, even 30 billion yuan, he can also be clean. For him now, raising funds is not only for national construction, but also the cornerstone of national stability. In contrast, God-given oil is just a tool.

Su Cheng nod and said, "The national loan should be regarded as the bidding condition of Dahua Industry, and other companies have to be treated the same."

"Of course." Aliyev's smiling eyebrows unfolded and said, "Mr. Su Cheng is a good friend of the Azerbaijani people. I promise that even if other companies give better conditions, Dahua Industry will win the bid."

Su Cheng also smiled like a huā. Although the cost is expensive, he will be happy if he can lock in the Aqijiu oil field.
