Chapter 354 Gold Mining and Selling Jeans
----------
With the convoy of the [China] Bank of China group, it went to Lenin Mountain in the southwest of Moscow and stopped near the observation deck.
Mount Lenin is the commanding height of Moscow. Although it is only 220 meters, it can overlook the Moscow River and the Moscow city. The observation deck is facing Moscow University, and you can see the Central Stadium in Moscow.
Moscow [Zhong] Central Stadium is the main stadium of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games and the latest and largest stadium in the Moscow region. Many Moscowians climbed Mount Lenin just to see it.
The corner of today's observation deck was stopped, and the banner of "Maintenance: No Pass" was hung until it arrived. However, when Su Cheng and others got out of the car, several Russian beauties greeted them enthusiastically, grabbed Su Cheng and others respectively, and held them to the observation deck.
The tall and straight Russian beauty, with upturned and short buttocks, slender legs like a compass, generous and charming, which suddenly made people full of interest in the banquet. Several "bankers" who just got out of the car got up in an instant.
The observation deck is already full of long tables and food, and there are expensive champagnes waiting to drink.
A Russian wore a uniform-like suit and lined up on both sides to welcome them. The most mature of them is only about 30 years old. Su Cheng thought to himself: Sure enough, it is the Communist Youth League Chamber of Commerce!
"This is Barwell from Akwaf Company." Sikongguan was the first to deal with them. At this time, as an intermediary, he introduced one by one: "This is Starhanno of Wetex Company."
"This is the Shamir of Grushko Company."
When it came to the third person, Gu Hongjun smiled inexplicably.
"What's wrong?" Su Cheng looked over curiously.
"I can't help it." Gu Hongjun said with a smile, "This man's name is the shrimp of various food companies. Isn't it a food delivery? It looks really similar."
Shamir is 1.8 meters tall, which is similar to the figure of Gu Hongjun.
But because the members of the Bank of China group are generally low, he deliberately bent down to avoid making the other party uncomfortable. These are all the stunts he practiced in the Communist Youth League. Ordinary people can't find them if they don't pay attention to them.
Gu Hongjun's job was to look at the six roads, and he noticed Shamir's small movements at a glance. After listening to their introduction, his ugly face laughed like a bitter chrysanthemum.
Su Cheng and others took a look and saw that the shrimp was really suspected of delivering vegetables, and they all laughed.
Shamir's eyes widened. Whether the other party was talking about himself or not, it was just a lot of laughter, but made the serious atmosphere relaxed.
Akv, Witkes and Grushko are all Russian companies that missed the first wave of entrepreneurship, and they have distanced themselves from the fastest and smoothest private companies. At this time, the future financial oligarch, such as Smolensky, has founded the Capital Savings Bank, the goose shopkeeper Gusinsky has also founded the Bridge Bank, and Khodorkovsky's business is booming. In contrast, companies like Grushko have just earned their first bucket of gold, so in order to make a large amount of money in the next wave of privatization, they must get capital from foreign banks to compete with domestic financial oligarchs.
The needs of these Communist Youth League Chambers of Commerce for Dahua Industry and [China] Bank of China can be seen from the meticulousness of the banquet.
So, not to mention that they are telling jokes themselves, even if they talk about jokes, comrades "shrimp" can't help it.
Shamir, Bavel and Stahanno, one greet the Chinese people one by one, and the rest are filled with beautiful Communist Youth League beauties, but the scene is very happy.
The viewing platform of Mount Lenin can be regarded as a well-known scenic spot in Moscow. Standing here, you can enjoy caviar and vodka alone, as well as the rare French champagne, which is a beautiful thing.
After getting acquainted with each other for a while, it seemed that Barwell of the oldest Akv Company came to Sucheng, said, "Chairman Su, we heard that your Dahua Industry has a large number of patents on oil exploration, and has its own oil fields in the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East?"
"That's right."
"It's amazing." Barwell raised his thumb and said in an respectful tone, "I don't know, what preparations do we need if we want to develop oil?"
"The capital, technology, political resources and a large number of skilled workers are finally a firm belief." Su Cheng answered casually, stuffed a piece of bread covered with caviar into his mouth and gently flattened them with his tongue.
The beautiful woman of the Communist Youth League next to him was tall and taut. She handed him champagne with a smile and motioned him to drink it.
The wine is mixed with the fishy smell of fish. It really has a unique world.
After waiting for him to enjoy enough, Barwell said, "We have a certain relationship to buy an oil field in the Tyumen oil field. I think the political resources are abundant. In terms of skilled workers, we are ready to use the original workers in the oil field. Now they have lost their jobs and should be easy to recruit. Of course, we all have a firm belief that now, all we lack is money and technology. The production of the Tyumen oilfield has been suspended for a period of time and needs to be reinvested to resume production. We have done the preliminary work. Now as long as we inject funds, we can turn it into a continuous treasury. Give it to you and your bank with a lot of rewards.
When he heard about the Tyumen oilfield, Su Cheng's eyebrows jumped gently twice, and he said, "It's very risky to inject capital into the oilfield... What do you think?"
"We asked some experts and made some simple predictions. We believe that with a capital injection of about 50 million US dollars, an oil field can be restored. Once you make a profit by selling oil, you can recover the cost of 50 million yuan in up to three years." Do you want to borrow 50 million US dollars from the Bank of China Group? Su Cheng asked intently.
Barwell smiled and said confidently, "If you are willing to inject $50 million, we are willing to give you 50% of the shares. Akwoff, Vitex and Grushko account for the remaining 50%. At present, the three of us have raised a considerable amount of funds and some old equipment. As long as some necessary supplements are made, the start time can be very fast.
Shamir and Stahanno also came over at this time.
They are very confident that Su Cheng will agree to inject capital in exchange for shares.
Of course, we still need to talk about how many shares there will be in the end.
Taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Dahua Industry is not the only foreigner who competed for the oil and gas of the former Soviet Union with US dollars. In the words of the Russians, Westerners who want to buy at a low price can go around the Red Square three times.
This is still the case when they don't consider Asian customers.
Bwell and others also took advantage of this wave to have the idea of making oil. In other businesses, they are not sure to get a large amount of money. In the oil business, they are more likely to get the funds.
However, compared with those financial oligarchs who have become famous, the strength of Barwell and others is much inferior.
Su Cheng was immersed in meditation.
The Tyumen oilfield actually refers to a series of large oil fields that have been explored one after another since its discovery in 1961. The extractable reserves are said to be 7 billion tons, 40% more than the Daqing oilfield found in the same period, and there is exactly an additional 2.8 billion tons of complete oilfield Summerl. This is also one of the many super oil fields all over the world.
However, there are many large oil fields in the world. Sucheng will not be impressed by every oil field.
He remembered that the Tyumen oilfield was not only because of the proximity of Siberia and [China] countries, but also because of the pit of BP in the Tyumen oilfield. Around 2003, Russia nationalized the Tyumen oil field and forced BP away by various means. In the end, they only received $690 million in compensation. For an oil field with reserves of 7 billion tons, this is just an interest money.
So the three small companies in front of them, no matter what their background is? Do you have the ability to support a Tyumen oil field?
Su Cheng only thought for a moment and gave a negative [answer] case.
The first deputy minister of oil and gas of the former Soviet Union cooperated with BP that year. The oil and gas sector has always been the leader of the Soviet economy. I'm afraid that people with a higher status can't gain a foothold in Yeltsin's government. In other words, the guys behind Barwell are probably not as good as BP's collaborators.
Su Cheng doesn't need to look at himself and knows the gap between Dahua Industry and BP, which is still far away like two creatures.
Under this consideration, Su Cheng suddenly lost confidence in acquiring a stake in an oil field in the Tyumen oil area.
He quickly made a decision and said, "If you can really get the oil field, you can use the oil field as collateral to lend to the [China] Bank of China Group. We won't think about acquiring shares for the time being.
"You don't want to extract oil in Russia?" Barwell was shocked and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Maybe, but I still want to wait." Su Cheng made up his mind and became resolute.
Taking advantage of the translation time, Si Kongguan pulled over Su Cheng and said, "You really don't want oil fields? Shall we explain to China that we may be interested in PetroChina or something? I heard that many foreign oil companies have come.
Su Cheng said, "If they are really interested, they won't come. If you want to inform, just let me know, but declare in advance that I'm not optimistic about Russia's oil fields.
"Why?"
"It may be nationalized."
"How come, they have been completely westernized, private property is sacred and inviolable..."
"The Soviet Union has ruled for so long, how can it be said that it will turn around, especially for politicians, will he let his power disappear?" Su Cheng said this and said, "In a word, if you want to inform PetroChina, you must first state my position and suggestions."
"Underp." Si Kongguan didn't take it seriously. He turned his head and said, "So, you can only take out a loan?"
"Well, after the loan, we have more room." After saying that, Su Cheng turned his head and asked Shamir and others, "How are you thinking?"
Bwell said disappointedly, "Although the loan is good,... our solvency is still relatively limited, and in terms of technology..."
"Dahua Industry will give you technical guidance. However, it depends on whether you can get the oil field. In addition, we will mainly use equipment and RMB for this form of loan, and foreign exchange will only be given when necessary. Su Cheng turned his head and there was already a candidate.
Bwell and others can't see through Su Cheng's choice, but become more respectful. When talking about interest and other terms, they are also very easy to talk about.
At the exchange rate of the ruble at this time, the profit in a year is only much more than the oil production.
If the production time of oil production is included, the profit of this loan will only be higher.
Si Kongguan couldn't take care of the beautiful women around him. He took out his pen and paper with him, wrote down a few numbers, and calculated them quickly.
After a while, he whispered to Su Cheng, "You said that a lot of oil fields need money? If it is only based on 10 years, this model is very rich.
Su Cheng said proudly, "Those who dig gold may not make more money than those who make jeans."
