"If you give up the right to exploit the oil field, the bidding money will not be returned." Diab wore a traditional Arabic robe and a bag for clothes in his hand, like a waiter in a palace suite, but when he spoke, his tone was But like a king.

Su Cheng nodded and said, "I understand."

The price of the oil field exploitation rights in the UAE will start from US$3000 million. If you give up the oilfield exploitation rights, it will be equivalent to giving up US$3000 million. In addition to the various twists and turns in this process, the deposit is more than enough.

Diab took a serious look at Sioux City, but said: "Japan is the country that imports the most LNP (liquefied natural gas) in Asia, about 3000 million tons per year, or 180 billion cubic meters, and it imports from many different countries. Yes, are you sure you want to underwrite 100 billion cubic meters?"

"That's right." Su Cheng looked calm on the surface, but his heart was burning with a fierce fighting spirit.The liquefied natural gas produced in Abu Dhabi is about 52 million British thermals per ton, and the CIF price per million British thermals is between US$3 and US$3.5, that is to say, the value of 1800 million tons of liquefied petroleum natural gas ( One hundred million U.S. dollars.

His plan was to sign a contract for a flat price and then sell it at a reduced price.However, as long as there is a little problem in the middle, resulting in sales being blocked, or a loss in sales, even if it is only 5%, you will have to pay for it.Even if Sioux City predicted that the price of oil and natural gas would rise, he would have to take a huge risk.

Before 00, natural gas was very difficult to sell, and many developers either stopped drilling for oil and gas.Either return the natural gas to the ground and use it as water and carbon dioxide.Except for Japan and Europe, the natural gas import volume of other countries in the world is not large.

The reason why Japan uses oil and natural gas is also related to crude oil. In 1977, when they learned that the UK would withdraw from the shallow offshore oil fields in Abu Dhabi, they signed a 0-ton natural gas import agreement with the UAE, and finally won the contract in 1979.So as to enter the Middle East oil circle.But in terms of oil prices, they lost tens of millions of dollars on that agreement.

For MITI officials.That is a standard loss contract.That's why Sakaguchi was so angry when Su Cheng raised the price.

In those days, in order to obtain Middle East oil.Played a whole set of combination punches.Today's day, it is estimated that it will be the same.

Sioux City estimates that Ito Trading Co., Ltd. may issue an LNG import contract of 500 million to 1000 million tons for 10 to 15 years.Countries that have not yet obtained oil concessions, such as West Germany and Sweden, may also enter into similar agreements to obtain oil bidding concessions.

In order to defeat the combination boxing masters of the United States, Britain, Japan, France, West Germany, Sweden, etc., the only thing Sioux Cheng, who has a small profit, can do is to punch the King and Crown Prince directly.

100 billion cubic meters of oil and natural gas is equivalent to 1800 million tons of liquefied petroleum and natural gas.This is a contract that no other country can take out anyway.

They can't buy hundreds of millions of tons of crude oil reserves to underwrite oil and gas reserves of hundreds of millions of tons.

But for the UAE, ([-] million US dollars is equivalent to a quarter of their import revenue, which cannot be taken lightly anyway.

Compared with economic cooperation models such as telephone lines and subway lines, the Sioux City method is less technical.But it's too much.

Diab was slightly moved, and said: "Okay, I will pass on your opinion to the crown prince. It is from China's Dahua Industrial..."

"Su Cheng." Su Cheng spelled it out in English.

Diab nodded and walked out of the tailor shop.

There are many lies in the business world, and only real money is the most reliable.Diab believes that Sioux City will not use 3000 million US dollars to joke with himself.

Su Cheng gently sat back on the chair.Looking at the mirror and smiling for a while, he suddenly said, "Hey, pour me a cup of black tea."

The clerk obediently poured him a cup of tea.

Goro stayed by his side and remained silent.In his eyes, the family ancestral hall is also more important than natural gas.

Su Cheng finished his black tea quietly before saying, "Goro, call a car to go to the embassy. Also, help me book a ticket to Taipei."

Goro was slightly surprised, and asked, "Taipei in Taiwan?"

"Ah."

"This... will not make mistakes." Even Goro, who just came out of the village, knows that Taiwan is a sensitive place.

"In April, the country had a regulation to encourage Taiwan compatriots to invest. When we do business with Taiwan overseas, we only encourage and do not violate it." Sioux City has one foot in the system and is quite concerned about the superior documents.

1988 was a year of major changes in Taiwan's policies. If a Chinese company and a Taiwanese company jointly attacked foreign markets... Sioux City believed that the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the United Front Work Department would be happy to see the results.

Of course, he is not 100% sure.Therefore, after arriving at the embassy, ​​Sioux City asked the team leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs whether it was possible to cooperate with Taiwanese companies and sign overseas contracts.

This topic obviously frightened him, he glanced at Su Cheng complainingly, and said helplessly: "I will report to the higher authorities."

"I bought a ticket to fly to Taipei the day after tomorrow. If there is no result by then, I will trouble you to forward it."

The team leader said bitterly: "Can't you wait for the results before going to Taipei?"

Su Cheng said cunningly: "If they say they disagree, then I will terminate the negotiation and come back."

This period belongs to the stage of "crossing the river by feeling the stones", and it is also a stage where you can try anything, and withdraw if you make a mistake.As long as Su Cheng went to Taipei, the higher ups probably wouldn't forcibly pull him back.

The team leader also knew the mystery, nodded helplessly, but asked: "How is Dahua Industrial's bidding work going?"

"I haven't seen anyone with real power, so I'm going to raise some money first." What Su Cheng said wasn't exactly what he said, but he didn't know whether the other party believed it or not.

The next day, Su Cheng still went to the tailor shop in Wahibi Alley, and in the afternoon, he saw Diab.

this time.He had put on a full suit and looked like a successful businessman.

The two sat in a small windowless room in the tailor shop. After the black tea came, Diab said to Su Cheng, "His Royal Highness is very interested in your proposal. Now there are only two questions. First, to prove that you strength; second, explain what you need."

Su Cheng pondered for a moment.Dao: "In terms of technology, we are the world's leading. China's Chengdao Oilfield has begun to produce oil. And it has maintained a state of 'no drop of oil goes into the sea' for a long time. It is the world's top oil environmental protection technology. I will let people Some of the information will be transferred to you. In terms of funds, I will go to Taiwan tomorrow to conduct the second round of financing."

He spoke slowly, and then said: "I have noticed that there are two Chinese groups bidding for the oil field in the UAE this time. As long as the bid is successful, I can guarantee that no matter whether I have sufficient funds, I will eventually carry out perfect development. There will be no change to the underwriting commitment."

As far as the UAE is concerned, their first concern is the bidding fee of tens of millions of dollars, and secondly they care about international cooperation.The third concern is oil field development.

If Sioux City paid for the natural gas and did not develop the oil field in the end, the UAE people probably would not be angry.Anyway, put the oil field there, and bid again.There are only advantages and no disadvantages.

Diab nodded slightly.

Sioux City went on to say: "About the second point, I hope that Dahua Industrial can get the UAE's oil concession."

This franchise is the power to allow bidding.All the previous arrangements were for the purpose of obtaining a franchise.Ultimately, bidding will be conducted among all companies that own the concession, and the highest bidder wins.Kings, crown princes and royals.The prime minister and government officials, everyone will be entangled in this interest.

Diab was not surprised: "Do you want to finance through oil concessions?"

"Second round of funding, yes."

"Well, I can give you a 3-year oil concession." This means that you can participate in the oil field bidding in the UAE within 3 years.

"3 years is too short, and at least 15 years will allow me to obtain smooth financing. Mr. Diab, if I really cannot complete the natural gas offtake agreement, even if it is within 15 years, I will not bid for oil fields in the UAE again Yes." Su Cheng's tone was solemn.

Exxon Mobil in the United States, Shell in the Netherlands, Total in France, and bp in the United Kingdom are all companies that have obtained oil concessions in the UAE.Sweden's Partex, Japan's Ito Corporation, and oil companies in West Germany, Italy, South Korea, China and other countries are companies that have not yet obtained concessions.Their franchise lengths also vary.

If Dahua Industry can squeeze into the franchise team, it will be an irresistible temptation for any company that is greedy for oil profits.

"Five years, plus a conditional extension of another five years." Diab stood up, and it seemed that he was not ready to bargain. He held out his hand, shook hands with Su Cheng, and said, "There will be documents later. Looking forward to your performance."

Su Cheng clenched his hand, and said in a low voice: "One last question, what is the current bidding price?"

Diab hesitated for a moment and said, "37."

He left after speaking.

37 is naturally 37 million dollars, which is 3700 million.This figure is not a guess, but a near-accurate figure given by the crown prince based on the situation of other companies.Within the UAE, officials and the royal family are not monolithic either.It can be said that Sioux City is now tied to the chariot of the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates.

At the last moment before boarding the plane, Sioux City just got the oil concession document.

It was sent by a young boy, packed in a special mail bag, and he didn't say a word during that time.

After registering, Sioux City sat in the business class, tore open the stamped mail bag, and he could see the thick leather contract folder inside. After opening it, there was only a piece of paper written in Arabic, with a picture of Crown Prince's signature: Khalifa...

Su Cheng read it carefully twice, and let Li Wei confirm it before putting it in the document bag, and kept holding it, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Li Wei was in shock for a long time. After taking off for a long time, he asked in a low voice: "If this is the case, isn't Dahua Industrial going hand in hand with companies like Mobil?"

Sioux City thought to himself: Mobil dare not agree to a long-term liquefied petroleum gas offtake contract of (billion dollars).

He shook his head, and said again: "Mobil doesn't have to do what we are doing now. We just need to prepare the money and consider the bidding. We are still too far behind them, so we have to work harder."

"Then...do they already know the location of the oil field?"

"There are no small oil fields in the United Arab Emirates. It's hard to say whether other companies know about it..." Sioux City fell into deep thought.
