super energy power

A quarter of an hour before the end of the bidding, only 3 companies have not yet submitted their bids

In the auditorium with hundreds of people, the company representatives who handed in the bids looked like students who had just handed in their papers, talking excitedly, with loud and small voices, and it was extremely noisy.

The bids were handed in, life or death could not be changed, the mood was relaxed, and the adrenaline secreted earlier naturally became a source of excitement.

Ducat of bp company is also one of the excited ones.This time, bp fully bid for 11 oil fields in Azerbaijan, which cost countless manpower and material resources. Just to clear up the relationship, it specially invited four shadow cabinet members of the British Labor Party.In addition, they are also discussing with Turkey, the United States and other countries the possibility of building an oil pipeline in the Caspian Sea, thus affecting diplomatic activities throughout Asia.Bidding activities of this scale are rare in the history of bp.

As a senior director, Dukat ranks far outside the top [-] in the huge BP group. It is a coincidence that he can host such an important Azerbaijan oilfield project. Dukat has sufficient reasons to get excited.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to obtain as many oil fields as possible, as well as shares in oil fields.

For the latter, Dukat thought he did a good job, but for the former, he was not too sure. When the tender was handed in, his work was considered completed.Although Aliyev made promises to the shadow cabinet members of the Labor Party, Ducat knew with his broken leg that Aliyev would definitely make similar promises to Shell, Exxon and other companies.

This is fairness under injustice.

The last thing Ducat can do is to delineate the specific bids of the bidding documents within the price range given by the company's board of directors and the company group, and then submit the bidding documents.

Unlike Dahua Industrial, bp's bidding for 11 oil fields at the same time is a collective action. Ducat must obtain the consent of all parties and can only write the bidding document after reaching a consensus.Therefore, price and other important factors.As early as a day ago, it had been determined that all he could do when bidding was to control the time for submitting bids.

In the last quarter of an hour, in Ducat's view, it was difficult to revise the bidding documents.This is not a simple crossword puzzle, the price and share ratio are different.Many items in it will be changed, unless bids for various schemes are prepared in advance.Otherwise, how could the tender be completed in the last quarter of an hour.

In the simplest case, there are dozens of combinations of price and sharing ratio.Because the ratio of 0.1% is a huge sum of money, any company that uses black-box operation methods will increase the ratio by 0.1% as much as possible, from 50.1% to 60% or even more. From tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars in signing bonuses, many bids can be derived from these two conditions alone.

A company usually bids for several or all of the fields.As a result, the company has to prepare too many tenders.At least, the far-sighted bp company did not intend to make all the bidding documents in advance.

Ducat discovered that Dahua Industrial's bidding team was still silent, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel at himself, thinking to himself: What exactly does Sioux City think.

He still doesn't know that Dahua Industrial's real focus is only one No. 6 oil block.

No one would think so.Sioux City's contributions in Azerbaijan.It is obvious to all insiders, that's why a large number of companies have come to Sioux City, hoping to form a company group.

This kind of effort is just a desperate effort to go to the No. 6 oil field. Those who know the inside story will only find it incredible.

Although Dahua Industrial has announced a separate bid for the No. 6 oil block, more people would rather believe that it is a smoke bomb.

There are also many companies that have taken a fancy to the No. 6 oilfield.However, when the existence of super oil fields has not been confirmed, these companies' "fancy" naturally cannot be compared with Dahua Industrial.

However, in order to avoid Dahua Industrial knowing their bottom line, Ryutaro Watanabe, the main representative of Inpex, and Francis of Italy's Eni Group kept the same silence.

Until 5 minutes before the bidding, Francis couldn't help it, and turned to look at Sioux City and Ryutaro Watanabe.He muttered something in his mouth, then got up and handed in the bid.

The Azerbaijani officials sitting in the front checked the appearance of the bid skillfully, then sealed it in a box, affixed a seal, stamped it with a seal, and sent it to the back room.

Seeing that all the steps were completed, Francis breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Su Cheng curiously.Although he has gone through many biddings, he still doesn't quite understand Su Cheng's approach.

In the last few minutes, the tender has not been submitted, is it because you want to give up?

Ryutaro Watanabe was also a little uneasy.He was like the last two candidates who handed in their papers. The difference from Su Cheng was that the latter seemed to have some plans, but he was just procrastinating.

Just like the difference between a scumbag and a top student.

"What's he thinking?" Ryutaro Watanabe suddenly asked Shigeru Nishioka beside him.

"This, I can't figure it out either." Shigeru Nishioka bowed his head deeply. He has been observing or spying on Dahua Industry, but the effect is not very obvious. Now he can't answer the question, and he has no choice.

The flesh on Ryutaro Watanabe's cheeks slumped, as if he was always angry, and asked: "In your opinion, we have to wait until Dahua Industrial bids? Or have they already quietly bid, and we are left? "

This question was too sharp, Shigeru Nishioka didn't dare to answer, and said softly, "I'll ask again."

"There are still 4 minutes." Watanabe Ryutaro looked at his watch and said, "I will wait until 1 minute before the deadline at most."

"Understood." Shigeru Nishioka lowered his head, left from the edge of the venue, and immediately went to ask familiar officials.

However, it is extremely difficult in Azerbaijan to get the exact news of Dahua Industry.

Although the newly established Azerbaijani government leaks like a sieve, because it is newly established, the channels for gossip are not mature, let alone consulting companies that specialize in selling business intelligence like European and American countries.Therefore, the method adopted by Dahua Industry is to flood the market with a lot of fake news. Just like the Internet age has come to Baku ahead of schedule, anyone can easily get news about Dahua that is either true or false. It will be very difficult.

Shigeru Nishioka, with his white hair in a hurry, took the risk to call Sakbar...

As time passed by, Su Cheng sat on the chair like a sculpture, without any change.

"There is one minute and 30 seconds before the deadline, and the final notice. There is one minute and 30 seconds before the bidding deadline." The Azerbaijani officials on the stage stared at Sioux City and Ryutaro Watanabe and had to remind them.

Watanabe Ryutaro involuntarily glanced at Su Cheng, then frowned and looked to the right.

Shigeru Nishioka came running wildly, shaking his head.

Watanabe Ryutaro decided not to wait any longer, picked up the suitcase under his feet, and handed it to the front.

The Azerbaijani officials in charge of the review breathed a sigh of relief, and simply did the work of inspection, sealing, sealing and stamping.He nodded to Ryutaro Watanabe and said, "Inpex's bid. We accept it."

"Okay." Ryutaro Watanabe watched as the bid was sent to the outside room until he couldn't see it.

Shigeru Nishioka looked at Su Cheng with unprecedented sharp eyes.

He didn't believe that Su Cheng would give up the bidding, but he also wanted to know what Su Cheng was waiting for.

At the last moment, the representatives of each company stopped their intense and happy discussions, and focused their eyes on the big pendulum clock above their heads.

The cut-off time is based on the pendulum clock time.

Inside the conference hall.Quiet needles can be heard.Hundreds of people stared at each other with bated breath, silently counting down. It looked like the countdown to the new year.

"Crench."

The door of the meeting room made a faint sound of door shaft turning

The people on the chairs turned their heads back in unison, making a "wow" sound like military training.

Solid wooden double doors.Being pushed away by two people.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of "cracking, crackling" running.

A young man wearing a Dahua badge, with a suitcase in his arms, ran wildly from the other end of the corridor in the posture of a [-]-meter race.

Just a few seconds of time.The young man went through the gate, ran straight up to Su Cheng, and stuffed the suitcase into his hand.

The crowd turned their heads in unison again, making a uniform "wow".

And at this moment, Ryutaro Watanabe was surprised to find that Su Cheng had already moved his feet.Go straight to the Azerbaijani officials in front.

"Our bid." Su Cheng shouted in English.

Absolutely wrong!

Ryutaro Watanabe didn't think that Dahua could complete the supplementary work of a tender in just a few tens of seconds, or a few minutes.

However, he intuitively thought there was a problem.

If there is no problem, why bother to waste time.More importantly, why send bids from outside, everyone's bids are carried with them.

Before he had time to think, watching the Azerbaijani official take over Sioux City's suitcase, Ryutaro Watanabe simply shouted: "It's time."

Shigeru Nishioka woke up like a dream, and shouted in English: "The time is up, the time is up."

Just at this time, the big pendulum clock above the head made a sound of "Boom, Boom".

The official who received the documents smiled slightly, and also said in English: "Using the time as the yardstick, Dahua Industrial's bid delivery is valid."

Ryutaro Watanabe's old face trembled, and there was a feeling of palpitation.

The Inpex company he works for also has a strong interest in the No. 6 oil block, so it has a direct competitive relationship with Dahua Industrial.Therefore, he has always paid attention to the intelligence control of himself and Azerbaijani officials.

But now it is difficult for him to determine whether his intelligence control has taken effect.

Shigeru Nishioka had the same sense of crisis, but he said in his mouth: "In such a short period of time, it is impossible for our quotation to leak out. Even if it leaks out, Dahua Industrial will have no time to revise the bidding documents, unless they have prepared multiple bidding documents in advance ... At least dozens of bids are required, three months is possible, and three days is completely impossible."

Watanabe Ryutaro agreed: "Well, in three days, three bids can be made, which is already very fast."

"So, the top priority now is for Azerbaijan to announce the bidding results on the spot. It must not stay overnight."

With a reminder from Shigeru Nishioka, Ryutaro Watanabe stood up immediately and said, "We request to review the bid documents on the spot and announce the conclusion on the spot."

"Check it on the spot, and announce it on the spot." The representatives of each company were all very smart, and the quiet conference hall just now immediately became noisy again.
