Ibrahim is a thick man who sits at the dining table and can cover almost all the tables behind.

When Su Cheng and others came in, he was biting the straw and drinking coconut juice. The milky white liquid continued to disappear into his bloody mouth, and it was a little scary when you looked up close.

"Minister Ibrahim, these are my friends." Su Cheng introduced and sat opposite Ibrahim, Kang Qingfeng and Zhang Haochang sat on the left and right.

Ibrahim drank the coconut milk in his glass in one breath, touched the liquid at the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "Are you a bit like Japanese, or are all Asians like this? Please sit down, do you want something?"

"A glass of orange juice is fine."

"We both want orange juice, too."

Abrahim called the waiter and said, "5 cups of orange juice. 2 cups should be sugar-free. This kind of ghost weather requires more water."

He laughed twice, asked the waiter to leave, then pulled out an envelope from his big pocket, handed it to Su Cheng, and said, "What you want."

Su Cheng held it in his hand, first checked the seal on it without hesitation, and then smiled and said, "Thank you for your dinner, then let's say goodbye first."

Zhang Haochang and Kang Qingfeng realized at this time that the dignified Minister of Petroleum was just a messenger.

The only regret is that the dinner ended without even seeing the shadow of orange juice.

Su Cheng led the two of them all the way into the bathroom, closed the door outside, raised the envelope, and said, "Now, I will give you the location of the oil field, and you will give me all the relevant information. Is it OK?"

"Of course, we can sign a contract." Zhang Haochang said positively. The location of the oil field is very important. It directly affects the price of the oil field. There are essential differences between the tens of million-ton oil field and the tens of millions of tons of oil field. The depth of the oil layer is also related to the exploration and mining costs. Although the location of the oil field will be announced a few days before the bidding, it is too late. Not to mention formulating policies, it is not even too late to analyze the data.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "What kind of contract is signed? You guys just need to guarantee it."

"Please." Zhang Haochang smiled embarrassedly: "Now foreigners are talking about signing contracts everywhere, and they are working fairly."

"Fair cooperation?" Su Cheng laughed: "Where did you see that this bidding? "

Zhang Haochang smiled foolishly. Since he went abroad, he has laughed like this more and more. Just like his situation when he was studying abroad.

Su Cheng tore open the envelope.

There is actually only one piece of paper inside, with a small font about 4 on it: satan.

He handed it to the other two, and Kang Qingfeng immediately read it: "Setan.Setan is... in the northern part of Abu Dhabi. Good guy, this is a large oil field, with a reserve of more than 150 million tons, and there is no complete exploration. If a comprehensive exploration is carried out, it will definitely exceed 200 million tons. Good guy!"

Kang Qingfeng and Zhang Haochang both showed great excitement.

Su Cheng rubbed the lighter and lit the envelope.

Zhang Haochang originally wanted to use it as evidence. It would be fine if he thought about it for a while, but he said sincerely: "Dr. Su, I have helped us a lot. It is really... I will report it to the top. There is no need to worry about the information about Setan area. We CNOOC is ready."

"I will also report it truthfully. Getting this information will be of great help to us." Kang Qingfeng nodded vigorously and said with a sad expression: "Dr. Su, if there is no breakthrough again, we will not be able to persevere."

"How could it be?"

"The UAE requires economic cooperation first, while the domestic one requires at least to know the location and reserves of the oil field. There is also the possibility of bidding, and then moderate economic cooperation can be carried out. However, the funds provided by the above are small, and they are still controlled by the leader who knows nothing. So..." Kang Qingfeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "If you don't give us the location of the oil field..."

"It's not as serious as the guys said, and they will always find a solution." Su Cheng said this, thinking in his heart: No matter whether I help or not, with this attitude in China, the chance of successful bidding is low enough. Economic cooperation is the minimum requirement of the oil field country where the oil field is located, and CNOOC is no exception.

The lack of rabbits and eagle does not show the eagle, which only shows that the Ministry of Energy and the three major central enterprises lack confidence.

Su Cheng also felt a little sympathetic when he saw Kang Qingfeng and Zhang Haochang. Foreign bidding companies include both private and national enterprises. No matter which one, they need to consciously gather their own strength during the oil field auction process.

Kang Qingfeng and Zhang Haochang are too shallow and are not the roles that can promote oilfield bidding.

Su Cheng thought to himself: From beginning to end, the Ministry of Energy has always been trying to get a bargain. First, it reduced the proportion of Dahua Industrial, but I didn't expect that I quit voluntarily, so I sent three weak delegations... If they achieved results, there will naturally be continuous reinforcements to receive the merits. If they fail, the bitter fruit can only be left to themselves...

"Let's do it first, we will meet again if we have the chance in the future." Su Cheng nodded to the two of them.

"That... Minister of Petroleum, Ibrahim really doesn't know the location of the oil field?" Zhang Haochang couldn't help asking.

"He doesn't know."

"Who knows? I know I shouldn't ask, but we're really blind." Zhang Haochang was almost crying, and the pain of bidding in foreign countries was hard to describe. Especially when Chinese companies lack foreign exchange, they had to spend hundreds of dollars in accommodation and housing expenses every day to support the scene. They had to use foreign exchange for food, clothing, housing and transportation... When they were frugal, they had to rack their brains to get information from other countries...

Even if you do business in your own country, with the same appearance, the same currency and the same customs, you will encounter countless difficulties when you go to other places, especially other provinces, not to mention from China to the Middle East.

These are not the most terrifying things, the most terrifying thing is the effort without reward. In an international bid, there is only one winner, even Sucheng, who is walking on thin ice.

He has a relationship with the crown prince. God knows which company contacted the king and chief, God knows which head of state would suddenly visit the UAE, and then start a strategic dialogue, and then develop a plan to "oil for food" or "oil for arms"...

Before the bid is opened, everything is unknown.

This kind of torture is already quite difficult for those tortured bidders. It is even more difficult for non-professionals who have never tried overseas bids and may have only once.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Royal."

"We heard that the decision is in the hands of the king or the crown prince?"

"Yes."

"How do they guarantee that they will win the bid? I mean, after all, we have to bid. If our price is high, it is not a bid? How will the king and the crown prince decide?"

"I really don't know?" Su Cheng looked at Zhang Haochang in surprise.

Zhang Haochang said in shame: "We have obtained a lot of information and intelligence. After so many days, some information and intelligence have proved to be wrong. We Chinese have never played this trick of international bidding, and they are all information from hearsay..."

"I understand." Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "For the sake of being both Chinese, we will not foolishly vote for a high bid. This time, the UAE's dark bid is not a dark bid that no one can see. Both the king and the crown prince can get other people's bid information."

"What about us bidding in the last three minutes?"

"It can't be without warning before bidding. Even if you increase by 1 million US dollars, do you need to discuss with the country? Other companies are similar. Of course, if you buy a high bid that everyone is not profitable, you will naturally win the bid, just not comply with the rules."

Zhang Haochang wanted to take out a small notebook to record. In 1988, in an era when these international secrets were still in effect, these secrets were still secrets. They could get some real and fake news, but without Su Cheng's explanation, it would be difficult for them to make a real judgment.

After Su Cheng finished talking about the winning bid, Zhang Haochang asked again: "What about the oil concession? How did you get the oil concession? We haven't heard of you applying for economic cooperation from the Ministry of Energy or the Oil Corporation."

Su Cheng shook his head secretly, thought for a while, and said, "This is the last question. Anyway, you guys are about to know. I promised the United Arab Emirates to underwrite 18 million liquefied natural gas."

“18 million!”

“Yes, 18 million.”

Zhang Haochang and Kang Qingfeng were both stunned.

It took great patience that they did not say the word "madman".

Kang Qingfeng came from Sinopec. At this time, he couldn't help but say: "Our country's own oil and natural gas is basically enough. I estimate that China can consume up to 3 million tons of oil and natural gas. If it is more, it won't work. Where can the remaining 15 million tons be obtained?"

"The traditional market in the UAE is still OK. In addition, it is actually more than 3 million tons of domestic consumption."

"oh?"

"After the oil field contract is signed, the underwriting contract for oil and natural gas will definitely be postponed. I will require it to be calculated in the second half of the year, or the first half of next year. In this way, a batch of synthetic ammonia equipment can be installed in China, plus natural gas power generation equipment, which consumes 5 million tons or 6 million tons, which is hopeful." Su Cheng explained very seriously.

Zhang Haochang now understood and whispered: "Do you want us to help you with your advice?"

If they could give Su Cheng a favor because of this, they would be willing to do so.

Su Cheng said calmly: "Just let's just talk to yourself. Otherwise, what economic cooperation can you sign with the UAE? Consume agricultural products?"

Zhang Haochang immediately made a big furious face. He originally wanted to engage in economic cooperation on agricultural products. After all, the total amount was smaller.

But compared to natural gas, agricultural product collaboration is pure consumption.

Zhang Haochang thought to himself: If 6 million tons of natural gas are added to the underwriting of sales and a little more other transactions, it would probably be almost the same.

He also understood that once he persuaded the Ministry of Energy to underwrite 6 million tons of natural gas, Sucheng would also use it.

When he owns the oil field, he naturally has this persuasiveness.
