super energy power

The role of scientific and technological progress in reducing cancer is obvious.Signatures, seals, secret notes...software programs gradually reduce the possibility of black-box operations, especially when a technology is just invented, its preventive effect is the strongest.

Large oil companies in the early 90s were already familiar with the use of various computer programs. As early as around the 70s, supercomputers and mainframe computers were used in the petrochemical industry, and they were the first industrial systems to purchase large and supercomputers.However, the time for computers to enter oil field bidding will be greatly delayed. Although the transparency of bidding may reduce the cost of bidding companies, that cost is not worth mentioning when compared with the bidding price.

In less than 10 years, the international oil bidding will become an electronic screen bidding. All the companies, bidding prices and other information will be scrolled on the bidding electronic screen, and the oil companies will be allowed to bid again. The transparency is terrible, and the final result Naturally, the income of oil-producing countries has increased greatly, while the profits of oil companies have greatly decreased.

从30美元赚10美元过度到100美元赚5美元的时代，差不多只需要5年。

It can be said that the 90s was the last decade when oil companies received dividends from oil field bidding. The wonderful sharing contracts and every second of black-box operations complement each other, achieving the last glory of the seven oil sisters in the century.

Thereafter, oil companies had to rely on management and derivative values ​​to make money.

The inability of new energy companies to face super oil companies has been established as early as 20 years ago.The accumulation of half a century has not only created countless oil companies with assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but also created many billionaires with assets worth tens of billions, as well as trust funds with assets worth hundreds of billions.As for the tycoons whose total assets are not clear to anyone, they were born as early as the Rockefeller period. The complicated trust and shareholding system made it impossible for the modern accounting system to calculate the amount of their assets.

Businesses of this size are almost impossible to beat commercially.Enterprises and individuals with such super-scale assets have always pursued low-risk or even risk-free strategies.

For example the way of diversification, since the 60's.It is almost imprinted in the soul of super oil companies.

When Azerbaijan's official bidding began, none of the super oil companies finally chose to bid independently. Compared with super high profits, they obviously cared more about super high risks.

On the contrary, 12 large and medium-sized companies finally applied for independent bids for one or more oil fields.Among them is Dahua Industrial.

Although Sioux City had expected this.But still slightly surprised.

He doesn't remember how Azerbaijan's oil in history was finally subdivided. He only knows that bp has made a big winner.

But looking at it now, the British Petroleum Company did not choose an independent bidding method in any oil field.Correspondingly, at least one oil development company chose to cooperate with bp to bid for oil fields.

After a rough calculation, if bp wants to become a big winner, the joint bidding group it participates in must obtain more than half of the oil fields!

Think here.Su Cheng couldn't help turning his gaze to the right.Dukat and his allies sat there, crowded with hundreds of people, and divided into different small groups, the discussion was extremely intense.

For many small companies, getting a 10% interest in a large oil field has already achieved their goal.

Su Cheng stared at the representatives of companies whose names he might not even be able to name.Such small and medium-sized oil development companies are actually the most, but their strength is not necessarily weak.For example, the Sabada company once owned by the Bush family.At that time, it was founded and operated by the young Bush Sr., relying on his father's connections and background as a Connecticut senator and a Wall Street banker.Such companies do not necessarily have powerful technology or abundant capital, but their performance in bidding is extremely unpredictable.It can be said that what the second and third generations of officials in China do, the second and third generations of officials in foreign countries are also doing.The methods are also generally dirty and ugly, the only difference is that China's level of development is low, and the business of the second and third generations of officials will inevitably have too much contact with ordinary people, while the level of development in foreign countries is high, and the second and third generations of officials' business The ugly side is rarely seen in public.

Su Cheng looked at others, and others also looked at him.

After a while, Shigeru Nishioka from Inpex Corporation of Japan came to Sioux City.Blocking his line of sight, he said with a smile: "Chairman Su, I heard that Dahua Industry is going to independently bid for the No. 6 oilfield. We are rivals."

Shigeru Nishioka was as humble as before, as if he was admitting his mistakes, and informed Su Cheng. From a polite point of view, it was not easy to do this.

The common saying that many people are not surprised by etiquette can always be perfectly reflected in the Japanese.The other party bent down and bowed, and Su Cheng was not aggressive, so he nodded calmly and said, "Really? Then... I wish you all the best."

"Thank you." Shigeru Nishioka's skin is rough, and there are deep wrinkles on his forehead, like there are more drilling workers than high-level office workers.His tone was extremely sincere: "Japan International Petroleum Development Co., Ltd. will form a bidding team with Malaysia National Petroleum Corporation and Nippon Oil Corporation to jointly bid for No. 6, No. 8 and No. 9 oil fields. I hereby explain."

He paused for a while, and then said: "Although they are competitors, Inpex still eagerly hopes to cooperate with Dahua Industrial in other fields. After the bidding is over, I hope to discuss this matter with you again."

Japanese oil companies, in the 70s and [-]s, aggressively entered the world's crude oil development field and acquired a large number of oil fields.In terms of time, if the conditions and management of the oil fields they acquired in the early stage are not satisfactory, the oil fields will have entered the curve of declining production capacity.Therefore, like the established oil companies, the Japanese oil companies are enthusiastic about the idea of ​​tertiary oil recovery.

Su Cheng said indifferently: "It's over here, you can send someone to talk to Dahua. Of course, if you are willing to give up the bidding competition with Dahua, you can discuss cooperation now."

Dahua's tertiary oil recovery technology is going to be sold for money, because it is a technology that is being intensively developed. In two years, Dahua's technology will definitely be updated, and other companies may also develop their own tertiary oil recovery technology. Oil recovery technology.

Shigeru Nishioka did not accept Dahua Industry's request for technology in exchange for bidding rights before, and he will not accept it now. He just smiled humbly and said: "The bidding for the oil field is decided by the president, and I have no right to change it. Even so, I am still eager Hope to discuss cooperation matters with Dahua Industrial in the future.”

"Next time."

"See you next time." Shigeru Nishioka bowed again at 75 degrees, turned and walked towards the representative of Exxon Petroleum Company not far away.

Su Cheng waited for him to go a little further.He whispered to Zhang Chao: "How many companies bid for the No. 6 oilfield?"

"Many." Zhang Chao spread his hands and said, "The analysis team is discussing which company groups are competitive. At present, there are at least seven company groups that have a relatively strong interest in the No. 7 oilfield."

Azerbaijan released a lot of oil fields this time, coupled with time constraints, each company had to focus on bidding for certain oil fields according to its own strength and focus.Even cooperative bidding is no exception.

The only special one is bp company.

Since the mid-90s.The most perverted oil company is the bp company that pursues the "elephant" policy, and they appear in almost every corner of the world.Moreover, they can always seize the most fertile oil fields, and their continuous success has prompted them to continue to expand. By selling the assets of other departments of the company, bp can obtain a large amount of funds to support their own expansion.

Under the guidance of this business strategy, bp even sold its proud chemical group at a price of nearly 0 billion US dollars.The huge success has made bp's elephant policy used as a teaching material by countless business schools, and it is increasingly praised.And it is known as "the dance of elephants".However, there are very few companies that can actually replicate elephant dances, and most of the replicas are somewhere between drunk elephants and crazy elephants.

As a British company, bp's working method is even rougher than that of American companies, and naturally more violent than Asian and South American companies. It seems to be a representative of new imperialist companies.In Azerbaijan, only bp company is determined to win every oil field.To this end, they organized at least six or seven company groups, which is equivalent to sending three to four times the number of employees from Dahua from the headquarters, in order to get the most oil fields.

Facts have proved that they did it, regardless of the gains and losses of the Aqijiu Oilfield. bp can also get a lot of oil resources from Azerbaijan.

For the current Dahua Industry, it is nothing more than a dream to fight against the complete BP.Sioux City's strategic focus is the No. 6 oil field, and he only cares about the gains and losses of the No. 6 oil field, and doesn't care what the four-company consortium can achieve in the end.

Companies that also pay attention to the No. 6 oil field are only about one-third of the company group participating in the bidding, because the No. 6 oil field is an offshore oil field, and the cost is inherently high.The required technology will be relatively high, which discourages many companies.

Of course, if they knew that the production of the Aqijiu oilfield would be more than half of that of the 11 oilfields, there would definitely be different results.

But for now, it is impossible for all companies to focus on bidding for the No. 6 oilfield.

So Su Cheng asked, "Which company groups are interested in No. 6?"

Zhang Chao looked at the notes with his backhand, and exhaled: "Exxon's company group, 4 companies. BP's company group, 6 companies. Shell's company group, 3 companies. Chevron's company group, 5 companies." companies. Total’s company group, 2 companies. The Japanese Inpex company group just now, 3 companies, plus the Eni group company group formed by 4 companies, and us, there are at least 8 relatively strong competitors In addition, there are several independent or joint bidding groups.”

Based on the information he had read from Aliyev, Sioux City thought for a while and said, "We can't simply let them bid for the No. 6 oil field. Find a way to let them compress it."

Zhang Chao asked in surprise, "How to compress?"

"The Information Bureau provides information, and your strategy department will find a way." Su Cheng recalled the bidding strategy he had learned in school, took a breath, and said, "Like Japan's Inpex, in my impression, they are the pocketbook of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party In July this year, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party resigned, and Prime Minister Ki Miyazawa resigned... Well, there have been many scandals within the Liberal Democratic Party. I don’t believe that Inpex is clean. Now Hosokawa is the prime minister, right? The eight-party coalition government, the new party must They are very poor, we provide them with funds, let them tighten the funds of Inpex, check the relevant banks, and verify the expenditure of Inpex, no matter what, as long as Inpex and Japanese oil companies choose the contraction strategy, it will be considered a success.”

Su Cheng said it so clearly, so he has done research.Zhang Chao nodded quickly and said, "I'll send someone to make a plan right away, but... even if the Japanese New Party is willing to collect money, I don't think it will be too obvious. It is impossible to force Inpex to withdraw..."

"There is no need for them to withdraw. The lower the bids of other companies, the less we will pay. Letting inpex choose a lower amount is a victory." Sioux City agreed to Aliyev's state loan and other conditions, which means that Aliyev can get money from Aliyev. You can directly get the reserve price of each company from Yev. At that time, you only need to look at the bids of other companies and bid a slightly higher price.You can get the Aqijiu Oilfield.

If it is a large oil field like Setan, such preparations are enough.It doesn't matter if you get 1% more or 1% less.

However, Aqijiu Oilfield is a super oilfield. After 00, its peak production capacity will exceed 130 million barrels per day. At a market price of 100 US dollars, it means that the daily output value will be 1.3 million US dollars. Dahua Industry will get 45% share or 46% share, the difference in one day is 130 million.There would be a gap of $4 million a year.

At the same time, the 30-year, 31-year or 35-year contracts have even more obvious gaps. If 1 percentage point is put into a 35-year contract, it is properly around US$100 billion.Instead of distributing so much money to the Azerbaijani government, Sioux City might as well use it to bribe the political opponents behind several corporate groups.

He spent so much energy on the Aqijiu oil field.Naturally, it is necessary to obtain the maximum profit as possible.

Every oil company has its own problems and its own conflicts. A company group composed of several companies will only have more prominent problems and conflicts. If you make good use of it, you can naturally get the results that Sioux City wants—any group has conflicts In the future, their solution can only be compromise and conservatism.For the oil group participating in the bidding.To choose compromise and conservatism, the first choice must be to reduce the bids in their hidden bids.

In the end, the reduction of these bids will return a lot of profits to Sioux City.As far as the current Japanese political arena is concerned, 1 million yen is already very easy to use to bribe party leaders, and 5 million yen is more than enough for the prime minister.In the "Lockheed case" of bribing Kakuei Tanaka back then, Lockheed Corporation forcibly reversed the aircraft contract.The secret public relations campaign adopted only cost 30 billion yen.

Sioux City just wants a conservative contraction plan, and it was initiated by the political opposition. I believe that mature politicians have enough means to achieve their goals, and they may not even need 1 million yen to achieve their intentions. .

Other than Japan Petroleum Corporation, the supporters of bp are the current opposition Labor Party, and Exxon and Chevron are notoriously sensitive companies. Under the premise of not knowing clearly that No. 6 oilfield is a super large oilfield, they are very Vulnerable to the influence of domestic politics, the remaining Shell, Total and Eni, as well as the company groups they formed, have their own problems. No one is invulnerable. As long as you spend money, there are even special A power broker gives you information to get you going.

What made Zhang Chao scratch his head was that the time was too short, and Sioux City's plan was so complicated, involving at least seven or eight countries. Even if there were mature bribery channels, it would be far from smooth sailing.

However, Zhang Chao can only barely undertake this task.No oil bid has ever been smooth sailing. For oil, Mexico has changed its nationalist principles. Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and other countries have built a complex and difficult OPEC. The Americans beat Iraq twice!

It is so difficult for countries to obtain oil, and it is naturally even more difficult for companies to obtain profits while obtaining oil.

Since the 50s, oil bidding has never been more difficult.The latest technology, the dirtiest means and the lowest bottom line seem to be the labels of oil companies.Those international giants and their shareholders have also become more and more good at learning, more and more open, and more and more difficult to deal with. Companies that don't do this are either eating their laurels or being merged by other companies that are good at learning...

It won't be long before the bidding method adopted by Sioux City will become a textbook for every oil company to learn and be copied in due course.

From the perspective of oil companies, they are not afraid of complex plans and changing environments, and they do not lack the courage to execute and bear losses. Their only goal is to succeed.

It can only be success.

Failed oil companies, no matter what their strategy, are pointless.A successful oil company, no matter what strategy it adopts, is full of value.

A failure may ruin a huge empire, while a success may push an ordinary oil company to the altar.

At this point, Dr. Armand Hammer's Occidental Petroleum Company can be regarded as a good example.Large oil companies that are large and unwilling to fail are often a footnote to the success of a flexible oil company like Dahua Industrial.

Zhang Chao exhaled lightly under the tremendous pressure, greeted Su Cheng, and went out without saying a word.

God knows how long the next meeting will take, he doesn't have much time to waste.

Planning the plan, arranging manpower, supervising the work, evaluating the effect... none of it seemed to be completed in a few days, and the next few days were originally reserved for the companies to prepare the bidding documents.
