Chapter 150 Underwriting

    The night in the desert is far colder than I imagined.

Zhang Haochang wrapped his leather jacket tightly, stamped his feet, looked at the brilliant lights ahead, shivering coldly, and said with a smile: "This clothes are really good. If you can send this leather jacket to us when you return to China, it will be worth the hard work of this trip."

"If you can get the bid, no one will object to this request." Kang Qingfeng laughed twice, then pulled Zhang Haochang's arm, and whispered: "Here you come."

The crowds formed a circle and walked down the steps.

Zhang Haochang, Kang Qingfeng, and their team leader and translator all stood up. When the crowd passed by, Zhang Haochang first took a step forward, stood under the light, and shouted: "Mr. Hasford."

"It's my fellow men again." The man named Hasford was a little drunk, and with the help of the woman, he stopped.

The group of people next to him were commonplace to this, and Ulala said a few words without stopping.

In the blink of an eye, only 6 people were left, 4 men and 2 women.

"They don't understand English, please tell me." Hasford's English is a muddy American English. As a member of the royal family, studying in European and American countries is almost the norm, and he is no exception.

Zhang Haochang and Kang Qingfeng looked at each other, but it was Zhang Haochang who still said: "Mr. Hasford, we have asked our boss for your request last time and have permission. The staff will be in place within 30 days."

"Get faster. Well, I don't really want to use Chinese soldiers to train the army. I am just interested in Chinese Kung Fu. I hope the people sent by them will not disappoint me. By the way, bring the commonly used light weapons and get more ammunition." Hasford laughed twice, drew two circles in the air with his fingers, and signaled to leave.

Zhang Haochang coughed hard and said, "Mr. Hasford, do we have the chance to meet His Majesty the King..."

"They can't see the king. Only the leaders of the country can meet the king on formal occasions." Hasford narrowed his eyes and smiled: "However, Mr. King has no intention of meeting the leaders of other countries for the time being. The animals should arrange ministerial talks first and then arrange senior talks."

"We can arrange ministerial talks." Zhang Haochang had been authorized and said nervously at this moment: "We want to know, in the open ministerial talks, what level of consensus can we reach?"

"It depends on how much assistance they can provide to the UAE's economy."

"What level of assistance do you think is appropriate?" Zhang Haochang's attitude was very respectful.

Hasford touched the woman next to her and made her laugh, then said, "I want to know this information, and I have to do something for me."

"You said."

"I want 3 Chinese beauties, I must have beauties"

Zhang Haochang was stunned.

Kang Qingfeng was clear-headed and said decisively: "Absolutely not possible, this is not something we can do."

"It's really a disappointment, okay. I want $100,000. If I have money, come and find me again." Hasford didn't bother me, patted the butt of the woman beside him and left shakingly.

Under the light, the three Chinese were speechless.

After a long time, the staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs whispered: "I must report what happened today."

Kang Qingfeng nodded weakly and said, "Please come here just to be a witness."

"Can we get a license of $100,000?" Zhang Haochang suddenly said.

Kang Qingfeng glared at him and said, "$100,000. If we can meet the Iranian king, it would be fine. What does he mean? The direction and goal of the ministerial meeting should be a semi-public news, otherwise how do you talk? It will cost money. After the ministerial meeting, high-level talks will be held. At that time, economic assistance will be finalized. Should we pay him every step? It is not easy for our country to make a little foreign exchange, and economic assistance will be provided to them..."

"We have provided assistance to Africa and Southeast Asia, and have also provided assistance to Yemen in the Middle East. It is not surprising that we will also provide assistance to the UAE." Zhang Haochang's voice was weak.

"Aid and financial assistance are two different things." Kang Qingfeng said in annoyance: "I heard that the West German Olip company will lay telephone lines in the UAE and use the latest programmable telephone. Although the UAEs pay, this level of financial assistance is not something we can decide."

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also coughed the doctor and said, "I met people from Boeing in the United States. It was probably about airports and passenger planes. The UAE has been trying to expand Abu Dhabi International Airport and Dubai International Airport for a long time."

"The most different place in economic assistance is that it does not matter the ownership of the oil field. First of all, economic assistance is required to participate in the bidding. However, if the bid fails, economic assistance must continue." Kang Qingfeng said hatefully: "These Middle Eastern countries are really good at making plans."

"So, this line is broken again?" Zhang Haochang lost his opinion and asked, "Are you still sending military instructors sent by the country?"

"I have to be sent to the public. My reputation is broken, and my promises will be useless in the future." Kang Qingfeng shook his head and said, "These Arab royal members are like princes of the Qing Dynasty, bragging to heaven and doing things in a vague way."

Zhang Haochang rubbed his head hard and said, "You can't just give up. Hasford is quite reliable. It is said that the decision to own the oil field is on the king and the crown prince. Should we try it?"

Kang Qingfeng said anxiously: "What to try? Stop talking about us, is the general manager of CNOOC qualified to arrange a meeting between the leaders of the country? Another thing is that the pervert also said that the king of Iran will not meet other leaders of other countries recently. If you think about it, you will know that everyone is looking at his oil field. Now we are in talks, aren't we digging a hole for ourselves? Who will he promise and who will not agree?"

Zhang Haochang sighed and sat back on the chair. This was not the first line they threw away. After calming down, he stamped his feet and said, "I haven't heard of Sucheng for a long time. I don't know how they did it."

"He couldn't even handle the ministerial meeting, so he probably could only pay for the bidding obediently. Alas, oil trade is too complicated, we didn't expect it, I guess he didn't expect it. At the beginning, a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, but now, he might have given up." Kang Qingfeng judged based on his own experience that Dahua Industry, without a national background, could not win in such an oil war.

...

Sucheng was walking slowly in the alleys of Wahaibi, like a tourist.

There are various tailor shops here, which are the most famous garment shops in Abu Dhabi. They sew traditional Arabic clothing, cut suits, tuxedoes and even costumes. Many Arab celebrities have fixed tailors to help them cut and even modify their clothes.

Every day, this alley is filled with people coming and going.

The alleyways that only allow two people to pass through often suspend the crowded crowds.

Under the leadership of Li Wei, Su Cheng found a tailor shop with six petals of plum blossoms. When he entered the small door, the store suddenly became clear.

"Do you guys want to customize clothes or pick up clothes?" The clerk was wearing a three-piece British suit, looking very capable, using Arabic first and then in English.

Su Cheng replied in English: "Is the shop owner here? I want to ask him to help me make a suit."

"He has guests, please wait for a while." He also made a cup of high-scented black tea for Su Cheng.

"Thank you." Su Cheng had expected it and sat down with peace of mind.

He is not really waiting for the tailor, he is waiting for the tailor's guests.

After a comparison of about a week, Su Cheng, Goro and Li Wei finally discovered a "concernful person" around the Iranian crown prince. Through local institutions, we found out that he was the crown prince's barber, as well as his beautician, maintenanceman and stylist.

Today, this man named Diab came to pick up clothes for the crown prince.

Siucheng is not sure about his influence, but it is indeed worth a try.

After a cup of black tea, Diabu walked out from behind. He looked similar to the one in the photo, with a fair face and no slight smile. He had a lot of white eyes, as if he was always looking at him.

"Mr. Diab." Siucheng stood up.

"Who is it?" Diab stopped.

"I am the chairman of China Dahua Industrial. I came to the UAE to bid for oil fields. I hope I can talk to you."

"I think you might have made the wrong person." Diab carried her clothes and continued walking out. The clerk of the tailor shop naturally came up to stop him.

Goro was as strong as wild, and with one raised his arms, he blocked the other two people.

"Mr. Diab, we can reach two points of economic cooperation. First, there are petrochemical products, and secondly, I can open up sales for natural gas in the UAE..." Sucheng threw out the bait that had been prepared long ago, and for this, he had prepared for many days.

Each bidding company needs to propose at least one economic collaboration project and meet the technical requirements for oil extraction. With these, only those can compete at the bid price, otherwise it will be directly removed. The three months from the issuance of the bid to the end of the bid is mainly to give enough time to facilitate the companies to carry out undercover operations.

Essentially, the UAE does not mind other companies and countries reaching out to them. It is just that the way and method of contact must be correct.

In addition to economy, politics, military, diplomacy, technology transfer, etc. are all things that the oil field is located in.

In order to defeat the United States, West Germany and other political, military and technological powers, Sucheng must find another way.

In these aspects, due to the lack of state support, diplomatic, military and political bets, he had no connection with Sucheng, and he could only choose economic means like the Japanese.

And it is an economic means that you can bear.

The sales of natural gas is an entry point found by Sucheng.

Diab was indeed attracted. He raised his hand to signal the clerks to stop and asked in English: "Which country is you going to sell natural gas to? What method is it?"

"I can't tell you for the time being."

Diab smiled and said, "Then there is nothing to say."

"I can sign an underwriting contract, with 10 billion cubic meters per year." Sucheng quickly responded. In 1988, when the oil price was less than US$20 and had been stable for several years, natural gas was completely ignored. For the same reason, natural gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas transport ships were naturally neglected, which made natural gas sales in Middle Eastern countries always a big problem.

But Su Cheng knew that although this situation had lasted for nearly 10 years, the deadlock would be broken in as long as 2 years.

The days when oil prices soar by 50%, and over $30 will soon come. By that time, the advantages of natural gas will be highly reflected. However, who can believe that oil prices will rise so much after 10 years.

Therefore, underwriting natural gas is a huge risk that other companies cannot bear, and for Sucheng, it is just a tight capital chain.

"I don't think that the company has this ability." Diab thought for a long time and finally spoke. Knowing about China's Dahua Company shows that he really has a great influence on bidding.

Su Cheng smiled calmly and said, "I am willing to sign a contract. If I cannot complete the underwriting agreement, I will automatically waive the ownership of the oil field."
