Chapter 355 Sculler Oil Field
The Russian Commercial Bank in 1992, the interest rate was ridiculously high.
The parity interest rate of the National Bank is 110%, the interest rate of commercial banks is as high as 220%, and the interest rate of some special projects has increased to 300%.
In the name of providing technical guidance, the Bank of China determined the ruble interest at 280%, the RMB interest at 20%, and the US dollar interest at 10%, which was still recognized by Barwell and others.
In fact, they don't have any capital reserves, at least they can't afford to buy an oil field. Therefore, during the crazy borrowing time of the whole society, they don't think that 280% of the interest is very expensive, and hyperinflation will depreciate money several times in a year.
However, feeling is one thing, and reason is one thing. After all, hyperinflation can't last long, and it is gradually weakening. This is not the case with bank loans.
Moreover, private commercial banks also have a rather immoral tool: the number of compound interest.
The interest is also 280% to borrow 10,000 yuan. The interest is calculated once a year, and the interest is converted into the principal. The 5-year compound interest will be returned 7.92 million yuan, but if the compound interest is calculated once a month, the interest will be repaid after five years, it will be 291 million yuan. The difference between the two is 40 times.
Even hyperinflation can't keep up with crazy compound interest.
Russia's financial oligarch completely divided the wealth of the former Soviet Union in 20 years and became a world-class rich man, using only a few simple and primitive financial methods. It is only because of the failure of the national regulatory system that they have accumulated incredible wealth.
But the more primitive the means. The more cruel it is.
Bawell and "Xiami" and others expect to become oligarchs, but they can only bear exploitation without completing the accumulation in the first time.
The two sides knew this and soon signed a document stipulating that Dahua helped to provide technology and funds, whether it was rubles, US dollars or RMB, all of which would eventually be returned by Barwell and others in the same currency. The collateral is oil fields and oil.
After giving Dahua the first priority acquisition right, Sucheng took a team in mid-March. The vast arrival of the Tyumen oil field.
Barwell bought a small oil field called Soller Oilfield. Of course, Russia's small oil fields. It is not small in China. The proven reserves are more than 50 million tons, and it has only undergone preliminary exploration. Judging from the experience of Sucheng, it is not surprising to find another 20 million tons in supplementary exploration.
Such reserves, according to international standards, if 2.5% is mined every year, at least 1.5 million tons of crude oil can be extracted in a year, equivalent to 1,000 barrels of crude oil. Even if it is sold for 30 dollars a barrel, it will cost 300 million US dollars a year. This kind of income is for individuals. There is no problem for the rich and their descendants.
The real gold mine is not as valuable as this oil well!
Looking at the desolate Siberian Cangyuan in front of him, Barwell jumped off the SUV, knelt on the ground, leaned over and kissed the cold hard soil. Shamir and Stahanno also followed. Bury your head in the dead grass and take a deep breath.
Su Cheng and others stood aside and could understand their mood very well. In order to get this oil field, Barwell and others must have made considerable efforts.
For a long time, Barwell stood up and said, "Su Dong. Next, it's all up to you."
"Well, leave it to us." As Su Cheng spoke, he pushed out the black iron tower-like man behind him and said, "This is Mr. Qin Shiwei, who will be responsible for the technology in the drilling and oil recovery process. In China, Mr. Qin Shiwei personally participated in the mining of several large oil fields and was very experienced.
Qin Shiwei was once the vice president of Shengli Oilfield Drilling and Oil Production Research Institute, and later the president. With the Chinese system, he not only participated in the construction of all the oil production projects of Shengli Oilfield, but also was sent out to assist in the construction of many projects. Almost every year, he has no time to rest and is responsible for a 50 million tons of oilfield project, which can be said to be extremely relaxed.
Due to Xiao Pang's relationship, Qin Shiwei was eventually poached by Su Cheng.
However, in front of Qin Shiwei, no boss dares to show off, not only because of his status, but also because of his tough meat. Seeing Qin Shiwei, it is easy to think of words such as "iron man". If you use the brain upside down here, there will be no problem at all. In the academic world, Qin Shiwei relies on academic achievements and may be regarded as a top scholar, but if he plays a ring or something, he must be the first place on the board. The normal researcher's little arms and calves met Qin Shiwei. Maybe there was an inadvertent collision, and the people next to him would exclaim: "Double kill!"
Even if he stood in a group of Russians, Qin Shiwei's body was extremely generous. Looking at him guiding the place of equipment in the crowd, Su Cheng patted Xiao Pang on the shoulder sympathetically and said, "You have no place at home."
Xiao Pang was puzzled: "How do you know?"
"Your wife is smarter than a monkey, and your father-in-law is stronger than an orangutan. You can explain your 200 catties of meat as you want."
The little fat man looked at the sky and felt an epiphany.
According to the agreement, Barwell and others have no right to interfere with the early technology. At this time, Su Cheng introduced Qin Shiwei, which means a notice.
Bwell shook hands with Qin Shiwei knowingly, said a few compliments, and handed over the translation.
Most of the workers are former Soviets, both Russians and republics, and they have to be translated to help. As for the former Soviet Union's own engineers, those with names have already gone to Western Petroleum Corporation, and some have opened their own companies.
At this time, the social atmosphere of the former Soviet Union was more ensivized than that of China a few years ago. Not only those who make missiles are better than those who sell tea eggs, but now they can't make missiles. Americans don't allow it!
As a result, the smartest brains either work in foreign research institutions or make money from business. Among the "seven oligarchy" in later Russia, Berezovsky was an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and an excellent mathematician. After his personal assets expanded to the 97th place in the world, he went into exile.
Bwell tried his best to collect some Soviet experts, but they were all selected by Western oil companies. Su Cheng didn't care either. Oil is a very open world, and everything is paid. If Dahua Industry opens a high salary, German experts will also use it. If it can't offer a high salary, Soviet experts will naturally work in high-paying enterprises.
Compared with it, Su Cheng would rather cultivate Dahua's own team. Although there will be a certain flow, the cooperation and tacit understanding between Chinese engineers will be much better.
and. China and the Soviet Union have not interacted for nearly 20 years, and there are obvious differences in oil extraction technologies between the two sides. Since Sucheng wants to use his own style, he is not going to recruit those ordinary Soviet experts. In fact. Oil companies in other countries do the same. Each company has its own corporate culture and technology. Unless it is a Soviet expert, it needs a difficult process to integrate. Soviet experts who can't or don't want to integrate can only act as a footnote for the collapse of the Soviet Union, staying in the lower right corner of the screen in the form of a hidden boss such as a goalkeeper.
The rumbling bulldozers, cranes and trucks struggled to slide down the muddy dirt road and began to try to move forward. The Soviet Union has invested a lot in the development of Siberia. The main purpose is to obtain Siberia's oil resources, corresponding engineering vehicles, etc., which has also been quite improved.
Qin Shiwei spread out the drawings on the front cover of the SUV, first determined a few flat positions, and then said to Powell, "Heavy equipment is ready to enter."
Bwell understood it. Use the telegraph machine to notify immediately.
It didn't take long to see two huge military helicopters flying over the sky with huge generator sets.
The closer you get, the louder the noise of the helicopter. The huge volume is also shown.
If it hangs something else, it doesn't have such an obvious reference, but it obviously hangs two generator sets weighing more than ten tons, which immediately makes many people dumbfounded.
The two helicopters are moving in the air like two villas.
"This is... Why is there such a big helicopter?"
"M26 helicopter, with a maximum load of 20 tons. It's similar to a large transport plane. Barwell smiled proudly and said, "Our family has some ability in the military, so we borrowed two military helicopters. Mi26 was originally available for civilian use, but it has been rented by foreign oil companies. We can only borrow it for temporary use by the military. When developing Mi 26, it took into account the needs of the comprehensive development of Siberia and required all-weather capacity. It is often used for oilfield development and oil drilling. Well, it is very convenient.
"So, what's hanging under it is the real rocket's nest?" Xiao Pang didn't wait for him to answer. He took out the camera without hesitation, gave it to Su Cheng, and shouted, "Master, come on, help me take a picture. I want to take a picture of the rocket nest."
Su Cheng had no choice but to do so. He pressed the shutter and said, "These two planes are going to help us transport a lot of things. If you are interested, you can take a plane to the train cargo yard to supervise the lifting of the equipment over there."
"Is it really okay?"
Su Cheng nodded, and Barwell also nodded and said with a smile, "I'll just tell the pilot."
While talking, the world's largest helicopter slowly hovered over the construction site.
The workers rushed up and commanded the plane to place the generator set in a circled position.
Although it took more than an hour to put a device, the people who watched it were sweating profusely. In this process, the Soviets played a leading role. Their oil department has always used the best equipment in the Soviet Union. They have not only used helicopters, but also experienced nuclear bombs, airdrops, high explosives and other equipment. They are experienced.
After the equipment was hoisted, Powell said a word on the walkie-talkie, and saw the leading helicopter put down a rope.
Xiao Pang immediately had an ominous feeling.
Bwell took the opportunity to push it and said with a smile, "It's not convenient to land on the construction site. It will pull you up."
Halfway through the translation, Xiaopang's eyes straightened. He looked at Su Cheng for help and said, "I'm so heavy that I will swell the meat."
Su Cheng persuaded: "Military helicopter, after walking through this village, there will be no such store."
Xiao Pang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing to be all over. If it's swollen, it's swollen."
In the midst of cheers and calls for help, Xiao Pang, who was tied up, was pulled into a helicopter dozens of meters high.
At that time, he was a little happy.
The next day, he regretted it.
Because there is another chance to take a helicopter. In fact, it is more than once.
Throughout March, the Skoller oil field was under rapid construction, and the helicopter also flew around two or three times a day... RS
