Spring Breeze 1991

Indeed, something far-reaching will happen in August.

It is now May, and according to the historical trajectory, the two sides are already conducting frequent secret negotiations.

If it weren't for Zhong Weiguo's meaningful eyes, Yao Yuan would have really forgotten that important event.Without further ado, he got up and went out, directly called Xia Honghua out, and walked to a remote place.

Yao Yuan said straight to the point, "Modern Petroleum and New Daily Chemical haven't contacted Sikor at all, have they?"

"Yes, is it? I don't know very well. I heard it from others." Xia Honghua averted his gaze and said with a smile.

Yao Yuan kept his voice extremely low, and asked again, "Are you ready to establish diplomatic relations with South Korea?"

The astonishment in Xia Honghua's eyes flashed, and then he said calmly, "Where did you hear the news, it's nothing."

Judging from Xia Honghua's reaction, Yao Yuan basically confirmed his guess.

The negotiation process for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea is extremely secretive. To what extent is the secrecy achieved?On the day when the establishment of diplomatic relations was announced, the whole world was dumbfounded, because there was no news before.

Another reason is that there is a North Korea sandwiched between the two countries.

Because of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, North Korea's diplomatic relations with me have dropped to a freezing point. For this matter, relevant Chinese leaders went to Pyongyang to explain, but they still couldn't let North Korea feel relieved.

For South Korea, the significance of establishing diplomatic relations with China cannot be overestimated. In order to facilitate this, South Korea has made a lot of concessions, especially in the economic field.

That is to say, before the establishment of diplomatic relations negotiations and the establishment of diplomatic relations, it is a good time for us lions to open their mouths.

The sudden retreat of Hyundai Petroleum must have something to do with the negotiations on the establishment of diplomatic relations. Kim Jae-hyun must have received an order from the group headquarters. He would rather lose tens of millions of dollars than continue to confront Huaxia Enterprises, because this is not conducive to the ongoing negotiations.

In just a moment, Yao Yuan figured out the joints inside.

Yao Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "If Hyundai Petroleum is interested, we can cooperate."

"What?" Xia Honghua was startled.

It was really hard for Xia Honghua to understand that they had fought inextricably before, and that they had to cooperate in the blink of an eye.

In fact, the sudden retreat of Hyundai Petroleum had something to do with Xia Honghua, and this was also a small thing that Xia Honghua silently did for Yao Yuan.When he reported to the country, he mentioned the matter of racing exploration, and the country raised it on the negotiating table, and the South Korean side responded immediately.

But at that time, Dongfang Petroleum Service Company's victory was already decided, so Xia Honghua's obscurity was not discovered immediately.

On the other hand, if Dongfang Petroleum Services and Hyundai Petroleum can cooperate, it can also be put on the negotiating table as a model of economic cooperation, which is a situation that both parties are willing to see.

Especially Korean.

Yao Yuan said, "We can only sign oilfield service contracts. According to the usual practice, we have the priority sharing right, and I can make the decision to transfer the priority sharing right to Hyundai Petroleum."

"You can't do this!" Xia Honghua immediately objected, "Why not give it to the Petroleum Corporation?"

If it is handed over to the Petroleum Corporation, Yao Yuan will be a national criminal nine years later.

Whoever gets the right to exploit and share any oil field in the Tyumen Oilfield now will have to pawn their crotch in nine years and leave in embarrassment.Historically, bp oil company lost more than 100 billion US dollars in the Tyumen Oilfield, which was their three-year revenue.

Yukos, the company that gave birth to the richest man in Russia, was directly nationalized, worth a total of 300 billion U.S. dollars.

Yao Yuan had no way to explain what happened next. He could only say, "The Petroleum Corporation does not have the strength to participate in the development of the Samer Oilfield. You have read the information. It will continue to invest at least 20 billion U.S. dollars in the next five years. Our foreign exchange reserves total How much? Not to mention the technical gap."

Having said that, Xia Honghua suddenly felt lonely, this is a bloody fact.

Yao Yuan continued, "Hyundai Petroleum is different. Although it is a medium-sized oil company, it is preparing for the Hyundai Group. They are rich. I gave them the right to share and let them become partners of Sikor, and asked Hyundai Group to submit Let's transfer some technology or something, isn't it too much?"

"Director Xia, what we lack now is technology. For example, shipbuilding technology. Hyundai Heavy Industries' large-scale shipbuilding technology is good. As far as I know, Hyundai Heavy Industries is working on LNG ships, that is, liquefied natural gas ships. I am interested in this technology, and our country also needs this kind of ship technology very much."

Although Xia Honghua doesn't understand LNG ships, he knows the strength of Hyundai Heavy Industries, and has many advanced technologies that continue to be used in China.

Among other things, Hyundai Heavy Industries' machine tool technology is very good, and it can compete with the little devil.

He was still a little unwilling, "It's really a pity to let go of a super oil field with reserves of more than 20 billion tons."

"What are you thinking about? Seacor Company only has a part of the mining rights. Even if it is won, even if the Petroleum Corporation has money to invest, when will it be possible to earn back the cost? That's 20 billion US dollars." Yao Yuan's tone was exaggerated. say.

After thinking for a while, he added, "Besides, I have an agreement with the Petroleum Corporation. I have signed a three-year outsourcing service contract. I have the right to use more than half of the exploration teams. What are they going to use to make money?" Merle Oilfield, you can’t break the contract, can you?”

Xia Honghua smiled awkwardly, "That's true, I forgot that you have almost collected all the exploration teams in the major oil fields."

Yao Yuan is more important than the right to share the Samer Oilfield. Among other things, the role played by China United Bank is enough to make Yao Yuan attach great importance to it.

It's not worth it to be unhappy with Yao Yuan because of the right to share an oil field. Besides, domestic oil fields can't be dealt with, so it's not practical to focus on foreign oil fields.

The domestic economy is in a difficult stage. No one thought that it would take off next year, and no one would have thought that the domestically produced oil would not be enough. It turned into a net oil exporter, and this status has not changed since then.

It cannot be said that the officials of this era are short-sighted, but the limitations caused by the era.On the contrary, officials in this era are cute and simple, and what they really think about in their hearts is the development of the country's economy.

Yao Yuan struck while the iron was hot and said, "Cooperation matters can only be raised at the negotiating table and implemented from top to bottom. This must be done, and the Koreans must be taken seriously."

"I understand." Xia Honghua said subconsciously.

After finishing speaking, he came to his senses, annoyed, annoyed and embarrassed, shaking his head and sighing.

Isn't this tantamount to acquiescing to Yao Yuan's question just now?

Yao Yuan had confidence in his mind, and returned to the room happily. Seeing Zhong Weiguo's gaze, he nodded slightly, and Zhong Weiguo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhong Weiguo obviously knew about it, but he couldn't tell Yao Yuan because of strict discipline.It was different for Yao Yuan to take the initiative to ask Xia Honghua. Yao Yuan is a business talent highly valued by the Planning Commission. Even if the Planning Commission does not disclose it, it will give some hints.

Yao Yuan said bluntly, "I have decided to accept the contract from Sikor, but the terms of the contract need to be renegotiated."

He expressed his thoughts completely, and pointed to Su Jianmin, "President Su, you go to communicate with the three major oil fields. We can only give them outsourcing contracts. If you are willing, you can sign the contract. If you don't want to, you can't force it." , Of course, the previously signed contract is also valid."

It is equivalent to giving more outsourcing shares to the three major oil fields of Karamay, Daqing and Shengli.

"Is it still settled in Huaxia currency?" Su Jianmin asked.

"Of course." Yao Yuan said.

Su Jianmin got up and left with a notebook full of notes.

Yao Yuan said to Qin Zhenjun, "Mr. Qin, without considering the cost, if we invest all [-] exploration teams in our hands, can we increase the production of the oil fields belonging to Seacor Company to [-] per year in one month?" Tons?"

"Definitely." Qin Zhenjun answered very simply without thinking.

However, he changed the subject and said, "But in this way, the cost will double, most likely more. The daily expenditure must also exceed 1000 million US dollars."

It's US dollars, not Huaxia coins.

Qin Zhenjun didn't explain, but Yao Yuan knew it.

The environment in the Sammer oil field is even harsher, and the investment of one hundred exploration teams and fifty exploration teams is not just a change in quantity.

To maintain fifty exploration teams requires a logistics team of 5000 people and at least 3 tons of supplies, and to maintain the normal operation of [-] front-line operators and related equipment and equipment, at least [-] people are required to participate in logistics support from China to here Work, as well as huge supplies calculated in tons of tons...

If it is the army, even if Moscow is crazy, it will send troops to encircle and suppress.

Yao Yuan and Qin Zhenjun are very clear that an annual output of one million tons is just an output that will make Halliburton and Whitford feel uncomfortable. If they increase investment, they will also adopt the method of exploring new oil wells to reach an annual output of several million tons. will be difficult.

Samer Oilfield is a super oilfield, and the entire oil area is larger than that of Hunan Province.

If Halliburton and Whitford invested regardless of cost, Eastern Petroleum Services had little chance of winning.

This is also what Qin Zhenjun did not say.

Yao Yuan pondered and said, "Our goal is not to win Halliburton, even if they increase their production more than ours in the end, as long as our increased production capacity meets the requirements of Sikor, or let Sikor avoid As a result of being annexed, we are victorious."

"I agree, but a new problem has arisen. The funds provided by Sikor cannot meet our requirements." Qin Zhenjun pointed to the information in the purse and said, "They offered a price of 8000 million US dollars, but regardless of the difficulty or The risks are several times more difficult than Galojevic's."

8000 million US dollars is enough for [-] exploration teams to spend ten days, a drop in the bucket.

Yao Yuan nodded slowly, "Sikor Company is well aware of it, so the compensation plan they proposed is oil sharing, and they gave a 30.00% sharing ratio with a period of 18 years."

At the meeting just now, Yao Yuan had already explained the plan. Qin Zhenjun did not comment on Yao Yuan's conservatism, but the execution instructions were unequivocal.

"Increase the contract to 30.00 million U.S. dollars. After that, we will share it at a rate of [-]% per barrel. We will divide it into eight years, and transfer the remaining ten years to Hyundai Oil of Korea. Make up the contract in the name of Cole's joint venture company." Qin Zhenjun repeated Yao Yuan's plan, shaking his head with a wry smile, "Mr. Yao, I don't understand why it is so complicated. In fact, we continue to provide oilfield services for Seacole according to the sharing model , beneficial and harmless.”

Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "Russia's future political situation is uncertain, so we can't take this risk. Money is what you get."

Now that the big boss is firm, Qin Zhenjun stopped expressing confusion, and said, "What should we do next? Transfer to the Summer Oilfield immediately?"

"The team can be organized. According to the requirements of the contract, some people will be left behind, and the rest will gather in Huaxia Camp and Tyumen City to prepare for departure. The fifty domestic exploration teams will also leave, and the corresponding logistics support work will start. .” Yao Yuan said.

Qin Zhenjun immediately got up to make arrangements.
