Chapter 220 A bad debt

Saudi Arabian Petroleum Corporation was established in 1988, but its predecessor was Aramco Oil Corporation, which was founded in the 1930s. As the world's largest oil producer, Saudi Arabian Petroleum Corporation should have the world's largest onshore oil fields and the world's largest offshore oil fields.

At its peak in 1974, Saudi oil companies produced 500 million tons of oil annually, more than five times that of China's oil production. The most amazing thing is that they represent OPEC's leverage ability to a certain extent.

Because Saudi Arabia's national oil company has strong crude oil storage capacity, when OPEC needs to cut production and limit prices, Saudi Arabia first cuts production and stores crude oil in its own large number of oil tanks. When OPEC needs to increase production, only Saudi Arabia can provide a large amount of crude oil to the market. This ability and the long-term willingness to sacrifice make Saudi Arabia the dominant country of OPEC.

Its decisive ability in OPEC is far more than that of the UAE, Iraq and other countries. It can be said that half of the matter in the Middle East is about Saudi Arabia.

Therefore, when Nasr was willing to help, the road to Siucheng's return to China was very smooth.

The charter flight paid by Saudi Petroleum Corporation will arrive directly to Beijing.

The moment he got off the plane, Nasr was so excited that he asked loudly like a child: "Where is the duty-free shop? The airport duty-free shop!"

The three Saudis who came with him were once again dressed in gold-edged cloaks, and were with Nasr Group, and their eyes were brightly scanned at everything around them.

Wang Zhou pointed to the right and said, "I don't know whether it's tax-free or not. The airport shop is there."

"What are you waiting for!" Nasr took the lead and rushed towards the airport store, unable to stop him.

Oil companies, especially officials of international oil companies, have always lacked fear of things other than profits. As long as officials and businessmen colluded with each other, they don’t care much about the officials. If they were other Saudi employees, let alone going to China, they would even scare them to death, but Nasr just took advantage of China’s tourism resources and came here with pleasure when there were Chinese cooperative enterprises.

Of course, it’s for the sake of fine wine!

Lots of wine.

Nasr held a whole box of Erguotou and was about to leave happily, he saw imported whiskey again.

He immediately handed the box to the person next to him and shouted on tiptoe: "Give me whiskey."

"How much do you want?" The Chinese clerk also understands English, abides by diplomatic etiquette, and asks with a smile.

"Three, uh, 10." Nasr had already started to wrench his finger.

The clerk nodded and said, "10 bottles of whiskey, OK, you have to pay US dollars."

"No problem. It's not 10 bottles, I want 10 boxes, I'll give me 10 boxes." Nasr was so suffocated when he was in China. The three people with him were also old alcoholics. When they were in Saudi Arabia, they all bought whiskey in the underground black market. There were even whiskeys sold specifically in the black market in the local area. However, the feeling of being able to blatantly buy alcohol really made him feel great.

After asking the leader for advice, the clerk gave Nasr 10 boxes of whiskey.

The Saudis were still not satisfied and ordered 10 boxes of liquor and beer, and then carried them and looked like they were back with a full load.

When we went out, a Chinese traveler who was about to go out friendly and opened the door for them.

Nasl said thank you, then stuffed a green Franklin out.

When the friendly Chinese understood that it was $100, they were stunned.

Su Cheng stood by the car and sighed: The beautiful era of tour guide is here so soon.

100 US dollars can be exchanged for RMB 800. It is the annual income of ordinary workers. In other words, it is the cash income of farmers' families for two or three years. It is more than enough to make brides in rural areas.

However, Nasr just handed over a tip, and it was $100. He might want to hand over a $10 or $5, or he didn't care at all. Just like many foreigners traveling to China, they took generously and trained China's first-generation tour guides, constantly urging the expectations of future generations of tour guides.

However, tour guides who can buy a house with one month's income only exist in this era, especially after the RMB appreciates, there are fewer and fewer suspicions.

Su Cheng waved to the lucky ones and headed straight to the city.

Nasr and four others, one bottle of whiskey in one hand and one bottle of Erguotou in the other hand, have already started drinking.

Halfway through, I was already destined to be intoxicated.

Nasr murmured with his glass and said, "My favorite thing is to drink in the express train and drink continuously. It is more comfortable than a car. Uh, I am going to the Great Wall tomorrow. What wine do you drink when you go to the Great Wall? When I was in Greece, I drank ziplo, a very good strong wine..."

Wang Zhou looked at these drunkards and considered that he was their tour guide, he couldn't help but ask: "Can't they drink?"

"Don't take the initiative to buy them alcohol, but if they want to drink, don't stop them. We will try to establish a certain relationship. We will have more time to deal with Saudi Arabia's National Petroleum Company in the future." Su Cheng said, remembering Nasr's attitude of throwing money, and arranged two more people for Wang Zhou, saying: "You supervise each other and are not allowed to charge tips, do you understand?"

"Don't worry." Wang Zhou didn't know how generous the Arabs were to travel abroad, so he held his neck up to ensure that.

Su Cheng felt relieved. These guys were rich and could destroy one capable person after another. The Chinese in the late 1980s were at the time of thoughts, and few could withstand the test of $100 that kept coming.

Nasr and others stayed in the Beijing International Hotel. Sucheng settled them down. As soon as he walked to the lobby, he met a group of young and proud cadres.

Su Cheng saw Hou Haiqing inside at a glance, Su Dongyuan's prospective son-in-law who worked in the State Council. With him, Su Xing with a smiling face.

The moment he saw Su Cheng, Su Xing's smile restrained. However, he quickly smiled again and stretched out a finger.

Su Cheng sighed inwardly, stood there, waiting for them to come.

He actually didn't want to pay attention to this cheap brother, but he wouldn't see Su Xing hiding.

Su Xing was a sensitive and dangerous yamen. At this point, Su Cheng knew that what he was worried about was nothing more than the political and economic resources of the Su family. With Su Xing's age, he would have to spend another 10 years before he could use these resources. However, Su Xing, who was promoted step by step in the official career, would probably be difficult to talk to Su Cheng at that time.

Therefore, Su Xing deliberately suppressed Su Cheng. He must ensure that he can obtain the most resources, preferably the only resources.

Su Cheng has to bear his challenge whether he wants to or not.

Su Xing still held his finger up and walked quickly to Su Cheng, saying sharply: "I heard you want to acquire the Jinshi General Factory? You can do it. A vice-ministerial-level enterprise. If you are allowed to acquire it, wouldn't it be the same as the deputy minister?"

Before Du Lijun's loan of 100 million yuan, Su Xing would not say that. Now, he wants Su Cheng to have this useless rib in his mouth.

The Jinshi General Factory loaned 100 million yuan, and the merged company had to repay it. The whereabouts of this money would probably be very doubtful. If Du Lijun purchased all the unusable machinery and equipment, or vehicles and other real estate, Sucheng would have no way to do it.

For a factory that is almost insolvent, the value of the Jinshi General Plant has shrunk by more than 100 million yuan, perhaps 200 million yuan in one opposite to one. Even with the Setan Oilfield, Sucheng will find it difficult to withstand the financial pressure of such a scale. The underwriting contract for natural gas is about to begin, and the production of the Setan Oilfield is far from the intensity of being able to fight on the third line.

Su Xing obviously knew this. He helped Jinshi General Factory get a loan of 100 million yuan. Even large factories at the vice-ministerial level are not easy.

Su Cheng looked at the cadre group opposite, thought about the information in Su Xing's words, and smiled slightly and said, "Even if we can't acquire Jinshi General Factory, I am also a director of China National Petroleum Corporation. So, there is no need to worry."

"Oh, do you really want a deputy ministerial treatment?" Su Xing laughed and his head turned back to get the support of his fellow travelers.

Hou Haiqing hugged in the middle and smiled and said, "It's all a family..."

"Who is a family with him?" Su Xing interrupted Hou Haiqing's words fiercely.

Hou Haiqing was a little embarrassed, so he laughed a little, and said, "Okay, let's go back. We'll eat all too."

Su Xing refused to leave and said proudly: "Dr. Su. When you buy the Jinshi General Factory, remember to invite us to watch the ceremony. I was excited to think about it. A factory that owes 300 million yuan in the bank may buy a batch of useless things, and I don't know how to revitalize it in the hands of Director Su."

This sentence shows that Su Xing and Jinshi General Factory are deeply involved.

Su Cheng frowned and asked, "Did you help Jinshi General Factory take out a loan?"

"If Du Lijun doesn't want to, no one can do anything." Su Xing snorted and said, "It's your fault, you're going to blame me for being too tight."

The Tianjin Shi General Factory returned in a defeat at the International Petroleum Exhibition, with a total order of less than US$1 million and could not make back the investment in the exhibition, so Du Lijun lost confidence.

Su Cheng understood as soon as he thought about it, and said, "Du Lijun would rather lose 100 million yuan in the factory than stay in the position of the factory manager? What's so proud of this?"

"You are not a good bird either. You are a dignified vice-ministerial enterprise, you just want to take the opportunity to acquire it. I tell you, there are no problems in factories that can make money, there are some messes!" Su Xing said as he put away his anger and laughed again: "Anyway, I wish you a successful acquisition."

Su Cheng laughed and said, "I have a lot of room for maneuver. If I don't acquire the Jinshi General Factory, I won't lose a penny. But you, clean up your mess first."

"Don't worry, the loan procedures are very clean. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me." Su Xing looked leisurely and contented.

However, Hou Haiqing next to him had already heard the danger, pulled Su Xing and said with his ears: "Don't talk nonsense, the loan has nothing to do with you, what's the cleanliness or not."

Su Xing broke free, looked up and saw Su Cheng’s smile as he left, and said indignantly: “What can he do to me, just a private enterprise boss.”

"Oh, what's the director of China Petroleum Corporation? Jinshi General Factory is a factory in the oil system." Hou Haiqing's experience is much deeper than Su Xing, and his mind is full of mud.

Su Xing felt a little guilty. After carefully thinking about the process, he became bolder again and said, "Don't worry, it's very clean."
