Chapter 569 Bidding Begins
The hall where the celebration was held was lit until three o'clock in the morning, and the number of talents gradually decreased. However, instead of going to rest, everyone just transferred to the hotel and continued to negotiate.
Such a good opportunity, it's too amateur not to strike while the iron is hot. As for sleeping and so on, it has always been the object of this group of people.
Su Cheng also held his eyelids to the Baku Iron People's Hotel, and the Frenchman who arrived first chose the hotel's bar as a place for negotiation. As a result, a group of people used documents, stationery, long-distance telephones and computers to stuff the bar into an office as quickly as possible.
What's better than the office is that the bartender will speak "hello" English and add vodka to those who want clean water.
Iron People's Hotel is also one of the best hotels in Baku. They were once able to provide the best Soviet red card vodka for senior officials in Azerbaijan and their children. Nowadays, the supply of Soviet red cards has long been over, and the green cards cannot be sufficient. High-end hotels have begun to sell vodka from Sweden and France, which is more in line with the taste of Europeans.
In a bar where a small cup of vodka is sold for $20 or even $50, no matter how expensive the foreign vodka is, the boss will try his best to get it.
Foreigners who use and drink here don't care about $20 or $50. They can't wait for the price to be more expensive so that Azerbaijani officials who come to taste it can feel their expensive enthusiasm.
Fena's Kroneso poured himself with a cup of coffee and a cup of vodka, and then put forward a negotiation motion: "Since Dahua Industry needs cash, I think the best way is to reduce the capital contribution. If you reduce the proportion of capital contribution, the cash required will naturally be less..."
"We are not short of cash. We just hope to get as many loans as possible. [China] China has a good opportunity. In addition, [China] China's banks lack foreign exchange, so we can only get US dollar loans from foreign banks... But!" Qin Yun, who only slept for three hours, as Zhang Chao's deputy, opened his eyes wide and argued rationally, "If we reduce the proportion of shares for the sake of a loan, we would rather not lend. Oh, let me put it this way. We don't mind reducing our capital contribution. As long as the shares remain unchanged and you are willing to let us reduce our capital contribution, we will reduce our capital contribution..."
"ooo, lady..." The Brazilian shook his Latin buttocks and said, "Although I know you told a joke, I have to refute you. Our requirement is that the proportion of your shares can be reduced, but the proportion of capital contribution cannot be reduced, haha.
"We are talking about the same thing. It seems that we have reached an agreement." The shrewd and capable Qin Yun bumped into the Brazilian, handed over to the employee behind him, and ordered, "Drink it."
Turning his head, Qin Yun continued to raise his voice in English: "We can reduce the proportion of investment in one or two oil fields, and if we can get a low-interest long-term loan of 2 billion US dollars..."
"Wow... a $2 billion low-interest long-term loan? Unless you are reducing the expected share of oil fields..."
"Of course, it can't be the expected oil field, unless you can handle tens of billions of dollars in loans."
"A loan of tens of billions of dollars, unless you reduce the share of oil fields in an all-round way..." Klonso laughed and said, "I think you don't want to."
"Then let's talk about the share again and put aside the loan in advance."
Cronso took a step back and said with a smile, "That's too troublesome. It's already here."
"That's according to our requirements."
"It's according to our requirements."
"It seems that we have reached an agreement again. Cheers." Qin Yun raised the cup again, touched the Brazilian, turned his head and handed it to the Dahua employee behind him again, saying, "I drank it."
The employee looked at her stupidly. It was probably Qin Yun's always strict impression that played a role. After looking at each other for a few seconds, he obediently stuffed off the vodka in the cup and licked his spicy tongue around his neck.
Su Cheng sighed and said, "This is not the roar of the Hedong lion, but the Hedong dragon."
"Who said no?" Xiaopang said with sleepy eyes, "We didn't go to bed until 1 o'clock in the evening, and we were called up at 3 o'clock. I was so sleepy that she was so energetic to bite people. Isn't it a dragon?"
"You have become bolder. Do you dare to arrange her around your wife?"
"She's not busy talking."
"You probably don't know that the dragon's ears are also smart." Su Cheng laughed twice.
The little fat man was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He held the table and said with a smile, "You said it was a dragon. His body was big, and his ears were small. He couldn't hear clearly."
Su Cheng laughed and then pointed to the back.
Xiao Pang found in horror that Qin Yun stood behind and turned his back to time, as if there was a huge tail swinging and throwing.
The coach of the negotiation table has become Zhang Chao again, still discussing the details with a quick mouth.
The Spaniard took the lead and said, "You give us 5% of the shares from No. 1 to No. 5, and we will bear the 5% investment. At the same time, we will find several banks to get a loan of about 1 billion US dollars. The time and interest rate are determined by the bank's people."
Repsol is one of the best oil companies in Spain. Like a large oil company in any country, Repsol has both bank shareholders and bank shares. Coupled with their large cash and loans, it is easy to introduce a large customer.
Zhang Chao nodded darkly, which has actually reached the bottom line of Dahua, but he must continue to fight, saying, "I can't determine the time limit and interest rate, 3.5%."
"Add oil blocks No. 6, 3.5%" is the usual method of Brazilians. They continue to increase oil blocks to negotiate, which is obviously ambitious.
Zhang Chao smiled and said, "I forgot to say that No. 6 oil block, Dahua Industry is ready to bid independently."
"Independent bidding for No. 6 oil block? Well, your choice." The representative of the Brazilian company shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then add the No. 7 oil field, calculated at a ratio of 3.5%..."
Sucheng was very satisfied when he heard this. Then, Petrobras and Fina of France also put forward their own independent bidding requirements. In fact, it's just that they are better than nothing. They don't have enough strength, and it's not like Dahua Industry has a pre-term foundation. It's really not enough conditions to bid for the super oil field alone. In fact, the most correct strategy to obtain super oil fields is to unite. If it is four large oil companies to obtain four oil fields, in terms of equity, it is equivalent to obtaining one complete oil field. To some extent, obtaining 25% of each of the four oil fields may be better than obtaining 100% of the oil fields of one oil field.
Of course, it is very satisfying for companies such as Dahua Industrial Co., Ltd., Fina in France, and Petro-Brazil to be able to jointly obtain an oil field. In addition to the Aziziu oil field, there are still several oil fields released by Azerbaijan with more than 100,000 tons this time.
Sometimes, a consortium of four companies like Dahua may once again unite with other companies in the bidding. This is how the oil fields controlled by Company 9 or Company 11 were originally created.
At 9:00 a.m., the bartender who didn't sleep all night brought breakfast.
Zhang Chao and others stopped the fierce confrontation and took a little rest. Xiao Pangqing's eyes turned red, bit the bread fiercely, and said, "Will this negotiation take a long time? If it goes on like this, I have to lose weight.
"Have they affected your sleep?" Su Cheng was also so sleepy that he barely opened his eyes.
Xiao Pang sighed, "Every time my wife works overtime and goes back, or she is too committed to work, just like this, I can't live in peace."
Su Cheng looked at Qin Yun, who was still excited, nodded understandingly and said, "I see. Just stick to it for a while."
"How long is the period of time?" Xiao Pang's sad face.
"One month..."
"A month is not bad!"
"I didn't finish it. One month is the end of the bidding, followed by negotiations on the construction period. The procurement of equipment and materials also needs to be negotiated..."
"How long will it take?"
"Half a year or a year...but..."
The little fat face was wrinkled and slim, and he asked in horror, "But what?"
"However, there will be other negotiations in the future." Su Cheng curled his lips helplessly and said, "Qin Yun chose the department by himself, if you remember."
The little fat face tightened and fainted.
Su Cheng quickly put his finger under his nose. Although he seemed to breathe, he snored.
On the other side, the Chinese negotiations represented by Dahua Industry, the Ministry of Finance of Azerbaijan and Liu Minghao also started.There are still many steps to do to convert corporate loans into national loans. If you want Aliyev to admit that this loan is valid, it must be negotiated. Moreover, it is essentially illegal to transfer corporate loans to [China] countries, and then transfer them to Azerbaijan to become effective state loans.
It's just that no one cares.
Even [China] National Petroleum Corporation secretly came to the door when they heard about this. Lin Yonggui was embarrassed to share a piece of the pie from the Dahua Industrial Union, but he still thought of Azerbaijan to try his luck.
Like many small and medium-sized oil companies, it is always possible to be an oil development enterprise, but an oil service enterprise.
Of course, [China] The size of China National Petroleum Corporation is not small. Judging by the number of people, it can be regarded as the largest oil company in the world. However, around 1993, the Petroleum Corporation was basically a purely domestic monopoly enterprise. The foreign business department was small and weak. Not to mention the BP of nearly 100,000 people, Dahua Industry, which has nearly 10,000 employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is also beyond their reach.
In terms of drilling and other technical levels, the accumulation of China National Petroleum Corporation is good, which is also the basis for them to always find oil service contracts. However, if you want to participate in the oilfield negotiations, the oil company with the atmosphere of state-owned enterprises will not work at all. It's just the current negotiation. It falls in the working environment of the head office to ask for instructions. There is no time for a year, and you can't talk about it. Those senior leaders who have the power to decide will not go deep into the front-line negotiation field like Su Cheng, because the front-line is easy to make mistakes, and the cost of making mistakes is too high.
Compared with private companies that pursue profits, the ultimate purpose of state-owned enterprises is not to make mistakes.
A week after the chaos.
Saqbal, on behalf of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Petroleum, announced the start of oilfield bidding.
Similar to most of the contemporary oilfield bidding, Azerbaijan chose the form of hidden bidding, which also indicates the peak of the dark box operation.
