Spring Breeze 1991

"Old Xia, Director Xia, don't worry, don't worry, we will discuss it in detail later." Yao Yuan comforted quickly.

Xia Honghua snorted, "You are too impulsive, if you act like this, you will stumble sooner or later!"

Wen Tiejun looked at Yao Yuan sympathetically, "Xiao Yao, you are still too impulsive."

That's why Qin Zhenjun reacted so strongly when he saw the plan.The current domestic natural gas market may not even be able to consume 20 tons, let alone 200 million tons.

"Director Xia, I'll go back to China as soon as the incident in Abu Dhabi is over, and I'll explain it to you when I get back to China," Yao Yuan said.

Xia Honghua couldn't express it on such an occasion, so he folded his arms coldly, shook his head and sighed.

Patting Yao Yuan on the shoulder to show comfort, Wen Tiejun said, "Xiao Yao, Director Xia is also thinking about you. Dongfang Petroleum finally got into the situation it is today. It really shouldn't be..."

The Petroleum Corporation is not interested in natural gas. It is not interested now. If it is interested in the future, I am afraid that it can only look at the taillights of Dongfang Petroleum and sigh.

Yao Yuan didn't explain too much, Ruiz had already stepped onto the rostrum, everyone fell silent tacitly, and their eyes fell on Ruiz's face and the cowhide envelope in his hand.

Yao Yuan held his breath, and then let it out slowly.

The recoverable reserves of the Shikotan Oilfield are as high as 30 billion tons, which is 10 billion tons more than that of the Baku Shallow Sea Oilfield, and will become one of the top ten oil fields in the world.

Historically, this oil field was jointly developed by several major oil companies and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, but this time, it is the only and last chance for Huaxia to obtain this super oil field.

The corner of Yao Yuan's mouth slowly raised into a smile.

Under the eyes of everyone, Ruiz opened the cowhide envelope, took out the elegant paper, unfolded it, and read it according to the script: "French Total Petroleum Company, 4550 million US dollars."

out.

"Chevron Petroleum Corporation of America, $4780 million."

Also out.

……

Read down in chronological order of submission of bids.

"Nippon Petrochemical Corporation, $4850 million."

This is the current highest bid.

Miyamoto and Shinichi couldn't help raising their hearts, staring at Ruiz's mouth, hoping not to hear a bid higher than this price again.

"ExxonMobil, $4980 million."

Miyamoto Tairo and Qian Zhongxin were overwhelmed, and Xinrihua was out.

Ruiz paused at this moment, looked up and scanned the venue, and read, "Shell Oil Company, $5100 million."

There was exclamation from the venue, and it was obvious that Shell Oil was the highest bidder.

Ruiz read again, "China Eastern Petroleum Company, $5150 million."

Before everyone could react, Ruiz officially announced the result: "Congratulations to the successful bidder, Huaxia Dongfang Petroleum Company."

Silent.

After a few seconds, the people from Dongfang Petroleum Company suddenly jumped up and shouted!

There was warm applause at the venue, and the focus of the media fell on Dongfang Petroleum Company. A large number of reporters rushed over, leaving envious and surprised heads of other oil companies...

Yao Yuan got up and left the venue when he heard Shell Oil's bid, because he knew the dust had settled.At the last moment of submitting the bid, Lin Xiaohu, who was waiting outside, received a figure, and Yao Yuan added 50 US dollars to this figure, which was Dongfang Petroleum's bid.

In the future, many people will come to seek cooperation, and Yao Yuan doesn't care about these things.

In Yao Yuan's villa, Xia Honghua sighed, except for him, everyone was immersed in excitement.Su Jianmin and Qin Zhenjun stayed at the venue as the administrative and technical leaders, and they will soon attend the official celebration banquet held in Abu Dhabi.

Yao Yuan will not participate, for him, his mission has been completed.

Xia Honghua really regarded Yao Yuan as a private enterprise and a pioneer entrepreneur of the reform and opening up, so Yao Yuan obtained the Shidan Oilfield at the cost of underwriting all the natural gas in the UAE.

"It's not certain whether you can be successful, Xiao Yao, you really, really..." Xia Honghua couldn't help but complained again.

Yao Yuan looked at him, then at Wen Tiejun, and said, "I'm going back to China now, do you want to go together? Or do you want to stay in Abu Dhabi for a few days?"

"Now?" Wen Tiejun was very surprised. When he turned around, everyone was packing their bags.

"Well, 300 million tons of natural gas is underwritten. I am Alexander. Besides, the Barker Line has basically been negotiated. I am not used to eating outside. I miss the white-cut chicken in my hometown." Yao Yuan said.

"I'll go with you, and you'll pay for the air ticket later," Wen Tiejun said.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "There is a special plane."

Wen Tiejun was taken aback for a moment, stopped being pretentious, and immediately went back to the embassy with Xia Honghua to pack up.Yao Yuan arranged for a car to take them there, went through the formalities by the way, and then went directly to the airport.

At nine o'clock in the evening local time, the Boeing-747 special plane took off for Hong Kong. Because of the four-hour time difference, it was already five or six o'clock in the morning Beijing time after arriving in Hong Kong.

Yao Yuan and his party transferred to a car to cross the border, and drove all the way to Guangdong City, just in time to have morning tea in the provincial capital.

Xia Honghua and Wen Tiejun simply followed suit, full of praise for the rich refreshments of Yuecheng morning tea.

This morning tea lasted until ten o'clock, and then stayed at the Swan Hotel.

The arrival of Vice Governor Zhang made Xia Honghua understand that Yao Yuan had already prepared to sell natural gas in the United Arab Emirates.

After exchanging warm greetings with Xia Honghua, Vice Governor Zhang held Yao Yuan's hand and said excitedly, "Xiao Yao, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, I congratulate Dongfang Petroleum on reaching another peak. Congratulations!"

"It's all the leadership's support." Yao Yuan smiled modestly.

The four of them sat down and started the discussion, including Wen Tiejun of course.

Yao Yuan said straight to the point, "Leader, Dongfang Petroleum won the Shidan Oilfield. The conditions are as I reported to you before. Dongfang Petroleum promises to underwrite all the natural gas in the UAE. The domestic consumption may be 200 million tons."

"Well." Vice Governor Zhang obviously had a discussion with Yao Yuan in advance, he said, "The provincial government will issue a document soon, you can start the construction of the city gas pipeline at any time, how to do it, I will instruct the relevant departments to work with you Talk. In a word, the province fully supports you."

Yao Yuan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, leader."

Speaking of this, Yao Yuan looked at Xia Honghua, "Director Xia, Nanfang Industrial has been approved to build urban gas pipelines in the whole province, that is to say, natural gas pipelines, directly connected to households, to replace the existing coal gas. We have done research with the provincial government. , Using piped gas as a living energy can greatly reduce the cost of living for urban residents. Natural gas is a clean energy that fully meets the national requirements for environmental protection."

Xia Honghua understood everything, and said with a wry smile, "So you have already planned it, and you also won the gas pipeline operation franchise in Shanghai, right? Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Only then did he understand that the analysis report on domestic gas that Yao Yuan showed him when he was on the plane, the most attractive thing was the cost, which was reduced by half compared to using gas!

This alone is enough to make Xia Honghua very interested.

Yao Yuan looked at Wen Tiejun, "Southern Industrial's gas pipelines in Guangdong Province and Shanghai are exclusive, but I hope to cooperate with Petroleum Corporation to develop markets in other provinces, cities, and regions."

It is necessary to bring the Petroleum Corporation on board, or the Petrochemical Corporation, or other state-owned mining companies of equal size.

Without a tall man to back it up, it's hard to guarantee victory.
