Spring Breeze 1991

After a long silence, Hans suddenly said, "Mr. Su, Dongfang Petroleum is Huaxia Company. I wonder if you can help Standard Oil contact Huaxia State-owned Oil Company?"

"Does Standard Oil want to enter the Chinese market?" Su Jianmin asked.

Hans said, "We hope to be able to participate in the development of Huaxia's oil and gas resources."

Su Jianmin secretly thought, Mr. Yao guessed correctly, and Standard Oil really put forward such a condition.

Shell has reached an agreement with Guangdong Province to build an oil refinery in Guangdong Province. It is the first foreign oil company to enter China.

After the merger of British Shell and Dutch Shell, this company has become the world's largest oil company, and its strength is very strong.

Starting from Shell, foreign oil companies have sounded the clarion call to enter the Chinese market. Currently, CNOOC is seeking to introduce foreign capital to develop shallow sea oil fields, which is a good opportunity for foreign oil companies.

The problem is that Dongfang Petroleum is a private enterprise. To put it bluntly, it has no government relations.

People's National Petroleum Corporation is different from CNOOC. The whole world is their oil and gas resources.It is so difficult for Dongfang Petroleum to obtain a wholesale and retail license for refined oil products. Don't even think about obtaining oil and gas fields in China. This is simply impossible.

Of course, it is possible to contact Sanbarrel Oil for help and facilitate their cooperation with foreign oil companies, but Yao Yuan does not want to do this.

Su Jianmin thought for a while and said, "Mr. Hans, we can help you get in touch, but we can only help you get in touch."

Hans thought for a while and asked again, "Is it just an announcement?"

Su Jianmin laughed, "We arranged for someone to release it. You responded to the reporter as the executive vice president of Standard Oil."

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of paper, one was the news, and the other was written on what Hans should respond to, and handed it to Hans.

Hans took a closer look and didn't think there was any problem.

It is nothing more than a media suddenly revealing that Standard Oil Company will establish a joint venture company with Eastern Petroleum Company, Total Petroleum Company, and Halliburton Oil Service Company. All the three companies have to do is give an ambiguous answer, neither confirming nor denying.

Just do it.

This kind of routine is often done by oil giants, because it can stimulate international oil prices at the right time.He and a certain oil-producing country announced an increase in production at every turn, and then international oil prices fell in response, but it is difficult for everyone to verify whether there has been an increase in production.

Hans asked, "Will Dongfang Petroleum make an official announcement?"

The press release he held in his hand must have been released by Dongfang Petroleum secretly through the second-tier media. If Dongfang Petroleum did not release official news, public opinion would be greatly reduced.

Su Jianmin knew what Hans was up to, but it was in the interests of Dongfang Petroleum. He didn't say anything, nodded, and said, "Yes, Dongfang Petroleum will release official news."

"Okay, Standard Oil is willing to help with this matter." Hans finally agreed.

Su Jianmin secretly heaved a sigh of relief, his main task was completed.

At this time, Hans suddenly said, "Mr. Su, will Dongfang Petroleum participate in the bid for the Shidan Oilfield? So far, I haven't seen your company's name from the official announcement of the UAE."

Su Jianmin said, "Our company has not yet made a final decision on whether to participate in the bid for the Shidan Oilfield. It mainly depends on our Mr. Yao's arrangement and his design for the future development of Dongfang Petroleum."

"I don't think Mr. Yao will let go of this opportunity." Hans said.

Su Jianmin smiled without saying a word.

Since winning the Baku oil field and becoming the second largest shareholder of Azerbaijan National Oil Company, the oil giants have become afraid of the dark horse of Dongfang Petroleum.When everyone was not optimistic about Aliyev, Dongfang Petroleum resolutely invested heavily and finally succeeded.

Standard Oil, Shell Oil and other major analysts believe that Dongfang Petroleum has a very powerful strategic intelligence analysis agency that can make very accurate judgments. Most importantly, they believe that Dongfang Petroleum has strong public relations capabilities.

After thinking for a while, Hans said, "Mr. Su, maybe we can really set up a joint venture company, as you said, it will be a win-win situation."

"Joint bidding?" Su Jianmin raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Hans nodded.

Jason said, "As always, Halliburton provides a full range of services."

Obviously, they talked about it.

Being able to let Standard Oil take the initiative to propose a joint bid reflects the status and power of Dongfang Petroleum Corporation in the industry.

Landlords have no food surplus these years. Bush fought a Gulf War, and oil prices fell instead of rising. The oil giants endured pain and supported Bush's Gulf War.The price is naturally to endure low oil prices, and the failure of the bid for the Baku oilfield in Azerbaijan has greatly hurt the vitality of several major oil giants.

It's one thing to have huge assets, but another to have access to funds.

A company as big as Formosa Plastics Group has tens of billions of assets, but the money they can use for investment is far less than that of Southern Industrial.

The advantage of Southern Industrial is that it has an extremely abundant cash flow, and like other Spring Breeze companies, it does not have any debts. A debt ratio of 50% is a normal value. If calculated according to this value, Chunfeng Group can provide a huge amount of funds, which is estimated to be in the scale of 200 billion, or close to [-] billion in US dollars.

Su Jianmin said, "Shell and other companies should all bid independently."

"Yes, in fact Standard Oil also tends to bid independently. I proposed a joint bid with Dongfang Petroleum. If Dongfang Petroleum is interested, I will try my best to convince the board of directors." Hans said.

It turned out that it was only Hans' proposal, not an official decision of Standard Oil. However, as the executive vice president in charge of specific businesses, acquiring oil and gas fields is Hans' main job, and his opinion is very important.

However, Su Jianmin knew that Yao Yuan would not agree to a joint bid. Dongfang Petroleum's operating principle is exclusive, unless it cooperates with a sovereign enterprise such as the National Petroleum Corporation.

He thought for a while and said, "I will report to the big boss. Mr. Hans, I will leave the news announcement to you."

After chatting for a while, Su Jianmin returned to the room and reported to Yao Yuan on the satellite phone.

Afterwards, Su Jianmin said, "Mr. Yao, Hans proposed a joint bid for the Shidan Oilfield."

Yao Yuan was taken aback, "Standard Oil wants to bid jointly with us?"

"Yes, Hans is very active. Jason said that Halliburton provides all the exploration and mining services. It is estimated that the two of them have already discussed it." Su Jianmin paused and said, "I personally think that the joint bidding plan is more secure. According to the information so far, Shell has entered the site more than two months in advance, which is very rare."

What he meant was that the bidding pressure was high.

Yao Yuan knew it.

He knew that Aliyev would be the one who had the last laugh, so he could devote himself to it with confidence, but he didn't need his innate consciousness to bid for the Shidan oil field.

Maybe you should really consider working with Standard Oil?
