Chapter 165 Interview
Su Cheng, who had expected it, looked up slightly, looked at Minister Guo and the other three, and thought to himself: These four people probably mean that they want to get benefits from the Setan Oilfield.
Sitting in the middle is Minister Guo and Deputy General Manager Zhu of the Petroleum Corporation, followed by Deputy General Manager Cui of CNOOC and Vice President Xiao of Sinopec Corporation.
If it were normal, four people would indeed be able to suppress Su Cheng tightly.
His relationship with the Oil Corporation is Liu Bing. When the two met, Liu Bing was still the director of the Personnel Department. Although he has become the deputy general manager, his ranking is still low, and he is still in the same level as Deputy General Manager Zhu, who is sitting on the stage.
What's more, although Minister Guo is selfish, he does not mean to put the benefits into his private pocket. The benefits will eventually fall into the three oil bottles. In this case, Liu Bing's speech against the trend will probably not be recognized by his colleagues.
This is also Minister Guo’s advantage. He cannot tell the Shengli Oilfield, but he can tell the senior management of the three central enterprises.
Looking at Su Cheng's head, Minister Guo felt happy, suppressed his smile and said in a slut: "Dahua Industry is a private enterprise, but it is still a Chinese enterprise. This interview is the care and love of our Ministry of Energy for local enterprises. The interview is not mandatory. Chairman Su Cheng, please pay attention."
Sucheng smiled.
Minister Guo also laughed. The interview was a negotiation between the ministries and commissions and the following enterprises. The interview between the Ministry of Energy and PetroChina was an equal negotiation. The negotiation between the Ministry of Energy and three central enterprises and Dahua Industrial was naturally irrelevant to fairness.
General Manager Zhu coughed and said, "Sucheng, your Dahua Industrial came from the Petroleum Corporation. We also opened the skylight and said something. Do you have the ability to develop the Setan Oilfield?"
"We have difficulties, but we have all the technology. The rest of the pieces are ready to be handed over to other companies."
"Well, where is the oil produced? What are you going to do with it?"
"We promised to give Formosa Plastics 4 million tons per year, and the rest has not been decided yet."
"Since that's the case, what do you think is purchased by PetroChina?" General Manager Zhu said, obviously their default distribution method. It was just a relatively easy way to say it.
Su Cheng smiled and asked, "How to buy it?"
"The current international oil price is hovering around US$18 per barrel. We consider the expectation and acquire all of them at US$19 per barrel. Except for 4 million tons to Formosa Plastics, the remaining oil will be distributed by the Petroleum Corporation. The contract has been signed for 30 years. We have estimated that although the Setan Oilfield is a shallow sea oilfield, the mining cost is not more than US$8. We can pay the bill in advance and let you repay the borrowed money..."
The price increase of oil is certain, and General Manager Zhu doesn’t know how much it can increase. However, it’s worth mentioning that a 30-year fixed contract is cost-effective. As for the mining costs as labor and materials rise, he doesn’t think much about it.
This cooperation method eliminates the two-three-year exploration period and one or two-year increase in production. CNPC is preparing to give Sucheng about three years of benefits. They expect that by 1999, oil will probably rise to about $30.
Except for Sucheng, no one expected that crude oil would rise to $30 in two years. Of course, if this contract was signed, PetroChina would only make more money.
Su Cheng sighed and shook his head and said, "I can't agree with this method."
Vice President Zhu was not surprised and smiled and advised: "CNPC can pay 50 million US dollars in one lump sum to repay you the bidding fee, and pay 100 million yuan in advance to you. This money is for Dahua Industrial, which means you are private. There are no billionaires in China yet..."
"3 billion US dollars." Su Cheng suddenly spoke.
Vice President Zhu was stunned: "What?"
"Initial exploration, the reserves in the Setan area are 1 billion barrels, worth 20 billion US dollars. Assuming that only half of them can be mined, half of the cost will also cost 5 billion US dollars. I only need 3 billion US dollars, PetroChina will pay, and the Setan area will give you directly."
"What kind of algorithm is this..." Vice President Zhu was embarrassed. Not to mention $3 billion, $50 million would be his life.
Minister Guo smiled and advised: "You can't count this way. The interest rate of $3 billion is a lot. It costs $100 million a year. The cost of two or three years of exploration is also very impressive... If you want to sell it at one time in Sucheng, $200 million."
Su Cheng rolled his eyelids and said, "If the interview is not mandatory, then I can't say it."
"We are also helping you." Minister Guo's eyes were shining. He wanted to see Su Cheng's defeated look. He smiled and said, "If Dahua Industrial has no confidence in the future, let's take out the mining process. At that time, Chairman Su Cheng will sleep at home and count the money."
“I don’t agree with this method either.”
Minister Guo said indifferently: "What you say can only mean that you are not prepared to mine the Setan oil field. You can indeed disagree with our plan, but in this case, the Ministry of Energy will consider introducing policies."
"Um?"
"Crude oil must be supplied to China first. You have no objection to this. The Setan Oilfield also needs to be handled accordingly. The oil will be transported back to China first and then sold abroad uniformly." Minister Guo did not say this just now, because this clause is too domineering. However, it does fall within the authority of the Ministry of Energy.
Su Cheng did not show the anger he imagined, but said calmly: "Evergreen Group is responsible for the transportation of oil. You must first transport it back to the country and then sell it in a concentrated manner. You can talk to Evergreen Group for the increased costs yourself."
In fact, it was his established strategy to transport oil back to China, but that should be five years later. We can't import oil from oil exporters instead. The plan proposed by Minister Guo is equivalent to increasing the cost of oil, which is a typical way to harm others and not benefit oneself.
This is also the official's usual style: I may not be able to give you benefits, but I may be able to give you disadvantages.
Minister Guo smiled and said, "There are just a few plans. We have considered Dahua Industrial very thoroughly. You can choose one yourself."
"This is not only a matter of choice, but also involves other companies."
"If Evergreen Group is concerned, we will explain to them. We will also hand over the transportation work from the UAE to China." After talking to the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Minister Guo made a very clear definition. As long as the interests of Taiwanese businessmen are not damaged, then let them go.
Su Cheng was slightly surprised, but that was all.
He took out a note from his pocket and handed it to the clerk next to him, saying, "I'm not talking about Evergreen Group, but other companies."
Minister Guo opened the paper suspiciously.
The first line is "China First Height", then "China Shipbuilding Corporation", "China Second Height", "Shougang", "China Construction Corporation"...
Seeing this, there were already five ministerial-level enterprises. Minister Guo was shocked and hurriedly continued to watch.
"Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant", "Second Automobile Manufacturing Plant", "Panda Electronics Group", "Harbin Steam Turbine Plant"...
Another series of large enterprises at the vice-ministerial level.
"What does this mean?" Minister Guo glanced down and felt very bad, as if he had eaten a toad from the fish's belly while eating delicious river food.
Su Cheng said gently: "We and these companies have signed cooperation agreements, including oil field construction and oil transactions. If the Ministry of Energy wants to concentrate oil, all of these contracts will have to be signed again. What do you think?"
General!
Minister Guo felt that he seemed to be about to spit out the toad, but he was stunned and ate the toad into his stomach.
Of course, he could not re-sign contracts with so many ministerial enterprises. Su Cheng dared to write the terms written in the contract, but he was not the top leader. What if the minister disagreed, what if the following enterprises could not complete the violation...
He wanted to say "resign" with a tough heart, but he didn't say a word after all.
"Where is the contract?" He wanted to see the contract so as not to be fooled.
Su Cheng waved back and saw Silang carrying a box, throwing it to the ground with a bang. His muscles trembled with the floor.
"It's all a copy." Su Cheng opened the box, took out a stack of contracts, and placed it on the chairperson's table of four.
Vice President Zhu said blamingly: "Why don't you bring the original?"
"I'm afraid of being ruined." Su Cheng laughed.
Minister Guo turned down without saying a word. As expected, they were all signed contracts.
Many of these terms are betting on the rise in oil prices and are billed in US dollars.
Minister Guo calculated silently that if the contract is fulfilled, the oil price will only rise to $30 in five years.
This is probably not outrageous. He believes that the oil price will definitely rise to $30 in five years, but it is believed that it is one thing, and betting is another.
Can he, a dignified deputy ministerial-level cadre, mortgage his future and destiny on oil prices?
Minister Guo now understood and said angrily: "Sucheng, in order to monopolize the oil field, you actually ignored financial security?"
"This is to protect my own oil field." Su Cheng said disdainfully: "If you are not interested in oil fields, we won't talk."
It's impossible to continue talking anymore.
Minister Guo snorted and said, "I want to see how your Dahua Industrial went bankrupt. You can think of the loss of oil rising, if you really believe that oil has risen to $30, why don't you buy futures?"
Su Cheng thought to himself, I don’t know the specific time of the rise, do you want to buy a long-term futures?
On the surface, he naturally said sternly: "I want to take the path of building a country with industry and not touch things like futures."
"Building a country in industry is well said!" The people in the oil field behind him plucked up, as if they were supporting Sucheng.
Minister Guo went out of the conference hall in shame and supported each other with the three vice presidents, saying indignantly: "This guy is too brave. I'm waiting for him to die. I don't believe that oil can rise to $30 in five years."
"Let's talk well." Vice President Xiao of Sinopec sighed: "The oil quality in the Middle East is good, it's no pity."
