Chapter 620 Closed

"Please come to the deck." Sucheng is not afraid that some people see the state of the offshore drilling platform.

The representatives of the two companies got off the boat.

Needless to say, Japan's inpex company participated in the bidding of Azerbaijan and participated in the competition of No. 6 oil block. In the end, although they failed, they still participated in obtaining some shares of the other two oil fields, and the harvest was above the middle.

Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. is more powerful. It is an established financial consortium with total assets of 300 billion US dollars and an annual profit of more than 3 billion US dollars. It is a standard top 500 enterprise in the world. It can be regarded as the crystallization of Japan's monopoly power and is also beyond the reach of Dahua Industry. Unlike other Japanese or American conglomerates, Sumitomo Corporation is a company deeply involved in financial products such as futures trading. The famous "Mr. 5%" is Sumitomo Corporation's copper futures trader in the City of London.

This is a large financial firm that has the ability to make a profit of $500 million and a loss of $5 billion. It is 80% right to see it as a collection of banks, insurance companies and securities companies.

Shigeru Nishioka, with a typical Japanese image, bent down to the deck of the drilling platform, bowed uninterruptedly to say hello, and looked at the workers around him cunningly with small and flexible eyes.

Hidetomo Hirano of Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. seems to be more westernized. After a quick and light bow, he introduced himself in fluent English: "I am Hidetomo Hirano, who has just arrived in Azerbaijan. Because I often participate in the financing of oil companies, I have a little understanding of the crude oil market, so I was Hmm. Traders are all rumored that the next direction of the crude oil market will be decided by the chairman of Sucheng.

Although he knew it was a compliment, Su Cheng was still "Long Yan Da Yue". He laughed and said, "Even the Pan-Asian Fund has no strength to determine the direction of the crude oil market, not to mention Dahua Industry, which has few shares. Personally, I think the direction of crude oil is ultimately determined by the market.

"Futures do have an unusual charm." Hidetomo Hirano obviously understood the market mentioned by Su Cheng as the financial market. Like most such consortia, in the eyes of the members of Sumitomo Trading Company, the manufacturing industry and the resource extractive industry are second-class affiliated companies. Their superior eyes are always concentrated in the pure financial field.

Su Cheng didn't explain. He nodded slightly and said, "You can visit at will. Just don't interfere with other people's work."

Seeing that he was leaving, Xigang Mao quickly stopped him and said, "Su Dong, how is the situation in the oil field?"

"That's the current situation. Yang Ming will introduce it to you in detail." Sucheng doesn't mean to treat you seriously.

Hidetomo Hirano saw it out. He laughed twice. Before Su Cheng left, he said, "Chairman of Su Cheng, is the Pan Asia Fund seeking financial support now?"

"Do you want to get a loan?" Su Cheng gave him a strange look.

"No, it's not a loan, it's a capital injection." Hidetomo Hirano shook his head and said, "We are very optimistic about the professionalism of Pan-Asia Fund. The fund companies formed by oil companies must have a very detailed understanding of the crude oil market... However, you should still lack a professional financial company. I mean to participate in the most core decision-making, or should there be financial companies. It's easy to get it in the financial market... Therefore, Sumitomo Trading Company hopes to invest in the Pan-Asian Fund, which is a good thing for mutual benefit.

"Don't you know the composition of the Pan Asia Fund, do you?" In addition to the unexpected appearance of Dahua Industrial and Kangle, other companies are more willing to hide in the shadow of offshore funds.

"I learned some peripheral information."

"Hmm."

Hidetomo Hirano smiled and said, "You may need a little time to discuss, but I want to make it clear that Sumitomo Trading Company is very sincere. Once it enters the specific discussion, your Excellency will personally preside over the matter."

With the strict hierarchy of Japanese companies, the merger or purchase of shares by the president is the most important business behavior of the commercial company. Hidetomo Hirano believes that businessmen like Su Cheng must be able to understand the meaning of it.

Shigeru Nishioka coughed twice and said, "Sumitomo Trading Company owns part of the shares of the company. If Sumitomo Trading Company joins the Pan-Asian Fund, we can also have further cooperation."

"I know." Su Cheng's expression was indifferent.

Hidetomo Hirano is the backbone of Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. He has participated in similar financial activities and immediately asked, "Can we determine a negotiation time?" Sumitomo Trading Company is willing to hold the first round of discussions in China or Japan.

"No need."

"It's just a discussion. Sumitomo Trading Company is full of funds and is familiar with the crude oil market. Joining the Pan Asia Fund can increase everyone's profits."

"Unless you want to do multi-business." Su Cheng simply interrupted Hidetomo Hirano.

Hidetomo Hirano rubbed his eyebrows, then reorganized the tie on his shirt, and said slowly, "This is not the time for the commercial company to invest in the Pan-Asian Fund. We can cooperate in all aspects. Regarding the rise and fall of crude oil prices, you can sit down and discuss further. Dahua Industry has not found a super oil There is no new news in the world market that has changed the relationship between supply and demand..."

"Although we can explain the problem you raised, if Sumitomo does not join the Pan-Asia Fund, we can all save some trouble." Su Cheng issued an eviction order.

Hidetomo Hirano was silent for a moment and said, "Can we turn around casually?"

After getting the consent of Su Cheng again, Hidetomo Hirano and Shigeru Nishioka went below the deck.

While observing Dahua's employees, Shigeru Nishioka whispered, "No. 6 oil block can't have a super oil field. He is bluffing... The company also evaluated No. 6 oil block that day? What's the conclusion?"

"A valuable reservoir, worth mining, tens of millions of barrels of reserves, or hundreds of millions of barrels." Shigeru Nishioka said reluctantly, "Later, Dahua Industry adopted the model of high signing fee, and we failed to win the bid."

"What about now? How do you judge? Hidetomo Hirano said rudely.

"More than hundreds of millions of barrels, but it will not be a super oil field." Xigang Mao snorted, thought for a while, and then said, "Su Cheng has done so much now... he will definitely lose money."

Hidetomo Hirano looked at him with a smile. At present, Dahua Industry's high signing fund strategy will make them hundreds of millions of green money. Shigeru Nishioka's decision at that time was obviously wrong.

However, Hidetomo Hirano did not continue to laugh at his necessity. Instead, he nodded and said, "Dahua Industry's investment in Azerbaijan is more than necessary, and it is possible to lose money."

Two Japanese circled around the sea drilling platform and returned to Baku. Here are the representatives of the oil company and their club. In 1994, the former Soviet Union, just like China in the late Qing Dynasty, there were always people who wanted to pick up cheap countries.

Hidetomo Hirano and Shigeru Nishioka, like their predecessors, exchanged information in the Baku area or inquired for more information. The actions of the Pan-Asian Fund are headlines in the oil and financial circles. There are many people observing them, such as oil companies, financial companies, media companies, government agencies...

Li Shirong and his secrecy department are more nervous than ever. While allowing the drilling platform to visit, they block a drilling platform from time to time, not only blocking access, but also blocking information, either for a day or two, or a week or two.

At the beginning, some journalists were indeed suspicious and excited about this, but the then deregulation would disappoint them. After a while, there were fewer people staring at the drilling platform to block the news.

Some reporters guessed the reason, but there was nothing they could do. In the mid-1990s, there were many professional oil journalists who had seen the deception in countless oil transactions, but this kind of open approach was the most difficult to get information.

Li Shirong's only worry is that when someone gets on a drilling platform, there is oil.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen.

Because nothing was found in the second round of drilling.

This is not surprising in oil exploration. In the case of crude oil ejection, oil companies are originally very open to it, and dry wells will appear at any time.

It also takes time to change the self-lift drilling platform to another place. The Dahua drilling platform, which has doubled its manpower, has finally selected a new location after several twists and turns.

The good thing is that after half a year of analysis, the drilling position and depth given by Qin Shiwei and others are getting more and more accurate.

On June 12, the Pan-Asian Fund decided to hold a plenary meeting in a week.

There have been more and more frequent contacts within the Pan-Asian Fund.

June 14.

Li Shirong once again announced the closure of drilling platform 505.
