Chapter 360 Abandoning Compensation
Ariksai smiled and laughed, as if he was resurrected pig's head, and he had to sign a contract on the spot.
Li Zhengfu advised: "The agreement on racing exploration needs to be carefully considered, please allow us to discuss it."
Ariksey was reluctant to say, "We can discuss the main framework now."
He wanted to use the people around him. Ariksai himself understood that if it were not for attracting other Russian companies, two Asian companies would never have signed a racing contract. They would rather give up than use this extremely costly and risky method.
However, the benefits of the racing contract to Ariksai are obvious. Even if Dahua Industrial is faster, it will only be faster to explore its oil field if it is an additional consortium of Singapore and Malaysians and Ito Trading Company. If you are lucky, you may be able to produce oil in just a few months.
For these gentlemen who have just transformed from senior Soviet officials to rich Russian businessmen, there is nothing more valuable than "fast". If you can get 1 dollar a minute earlier, you may be able to buy more national assets worth 10,000 US dollars. The future is chaotic, just like the future of Russia. Therefore, in order to make money early, they do not mind overdrawing the future.
Similarly, this pioneer's advantage will also prompt other Russian businessmen to choose oil service companies as soon as possible. Perhaps, a decisive advantage will bring a considerable number of orders without waiting for the oil output in Ariksai's oil field.
The attention of Russians around them also proves this point.
Su Cheng and Li Zhengfu both realized the situation they were facing and made a decision in an instant. They said at the same time: "Okay."
Ariksey immediately said: "I think the labor contract is more appropriate. How about $2 per barrel?"
Labor contracts are to pay a sum of money to the technical service company for every barrel of oil mined. As time goes by, the rise in oil prices and the strength of oil-producing countries have gradually become the mainstream of international oil contracts after 2000. For example, the contract obtained by Sucheng at the Setan Oilfield in the UAE disappeared in the 1990s, and even more so after 2000. This is also the main reason why Sucheng tried hard to obtain the Setan Oilfield in that year.
However, in the early 1990s, labor contracts were not popular yet. Two dollars were also the bargain among the bargain prices.
Su Cheng said without hesitation: "No matter the price, Dahua Industrial only signs a share contract."
A share contract is a percentage of income based on the price of oil, and it is also a contract that international oil companies strive to obtain.
Of course, international giants are all girls who have milk but are mothers. They abide by the rules just because they get more milk. Energy technology service companies like Halliburton, because of their big family and big business, will eventually be signed when they encounter labor contracts in large oil fields. However, Dahua Industrial is different. The total number of contracts it can accept is limited. Instead of making small profits but quick turnover, it is better to make more money.
In terms of making money, Lee Zhengfu is in line with his interests and also said: "Singapore and Malaysian companies also tend to share contracts."
"The interest and share contract of financing will squeeze me out." Ariksai felt a little complaining.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "We can discuss a financing method for the interests of both parties."
“苏董可是许诺我.可以做亿万富翁的.用分成合同的话,如何做亿万富翁……”阿里克塞罗哩罗嗦起来.
这一次,李政夫,伊藤信重和苏城都没有退让的意思.
阿里克塞没有意识到的地方是,他的油田的价格,将无形中变成其他油田的技术指导价.因此,对方宁可拖着.也不会轻易答应他的条件.
几个一个点一个点的抠过来,很快趋向于专业,让阿里克塞有些吃不消.周围的俄罗斯人也看的无聊之极.
但是,这是牵扯到以亿计美元的合同,本来就不是为了好玩,大家再无聊也只能忍着,而且还要开动脑筋,仔细思考.
他们的身后,熊熊的火焰在天空中燃烧.
不停的有人跑来跑去,带来最新的消息和最新的上层指令.
一些黑乎乎的污渍在天空中飞舞,一不小心就降落在上好的裘皮上,裸露在外的额头也变的脏乎乎.所有人的视觉和嗅觉都失去了作用,
But no one cares.
他们从凌晨谈到早晨,然后一边吃早午餐一边继续谈话,同时还要脱衣服.
等裘皮脱成了风衣,风衣脱成了毛衫以后,一群人又开始大量的饮用咖啡取暖,再穿上风衣,换上裘皮.这个时候,已经是夕阳西下了.
直到外面冷的呆不住了,三方才达成一个勉强的协议.
新马公司和伊藤商社假若竞速勘探失败,将放弃勘探补偿,且提供融资,并获得15%的石油分成收入,持续15年.
苏城的大华实业同样放弃勘探补偿,且提供融资,但前三年选择每桶3美元的石劳务合同,以后再获得13年的15%的石油分成.
换言之,双方中肯定有一方,将会损失数千万乃至上亿美元的勘探费用.等于是赢家通吃,输家却是血本无归.
李政夫只是一名副总裁,做出了如此重大的决定,不禁手上捏着汗.最后在备忘录上签字的时候,都有微微的颤抖.
伊藤信重和苏城稍好一些,但也都露出了紧张的神色.
简单的签字仪式完成,又在地图上划出了勘探区域.
Li Zhengfu was relieved and mocked Su Cheng: "Dong Su really likes gambling. A 3-year oil labor contract costs a lot less than a 15% share contract. You are betting on the rise in oil prices... I don't know if the last one-year oil share contract can make up for your losses."
"If oil prices rise sharply, the board of directors of Singapore and Malaysia Group knows that you have given up huge income for small profits. I wonder if you will quit you. By the way, you can't get this contract anyway..." Su Cheng counterattacked and complained: I'm not gambling, I just know.
Li Zhengfu hummed and said, "Russia is about to produce crude oil in the next few years, and it is certain that oil prices remain stable and falling. In 15 years, oil prices may be much higher than they are now, but so what? The difference and inflation in the first few years are enough for you to bear."
The international oil prices in the first half of the 1990s were indeed weak, and once reached $20. This is also one of the reasons for the downturn in Russia. It was not until the Clinton era in the late 1990s that the world economy was strongly recovering, which caused high oil prices and were out of control. Putin, who came to power in 2000, was cheaper.
苏城不会和李政夫讨论这些,淡淡的一笑道:“你不用在乎石油价格如何,赚的多赚的少,我都乐意.”
阿里克塞的油田合同假如变成指导价格的话,大华实业就有可能获得稳定强大的现金流,这笔几年内多出一两亿美元厉害的多.
However, as the vice president, it is understandable that Li Zhengfu tends to have the benefits of the early stage. Even though he knows that the oil prices will be higher in the future, he will have some tendencies for his own interests. Because in 15 years, Sucheng will still own Dahua Industry, but Li Zhengfu may not necessarily belong to the Singapore-Malaysian Group.
临走前,李政夫不无得色的道:“我倒要看看,你怎么能在竞速勘探中赢过新马集团.顺便通知你,我已经得到了董事局的全力支持.”
The Singapore-Malaysia Group has state-owned assets of the Singapore government and the Malaysian government, and has received full support from the board of directors, which means that it has received support from the two governments. This is a key factor in the international oil competition.
伊藤信重也语气唏嘘的道:“伊藤商社也将会全力支持库瓦克油田的勘探.”
Ito Trading Company is a Fortune 500 company in the world. Like most Japanese trading companies, their business is very extensive, but their core businesses are often not many. Full support for oilfield exploration means a tilt of resources. Naturally, it will not be good news for Dahua.
Su Cheng smiled slightly and waved his hand and left.
竞速勘探已经确定,结果将比过程更重要.
...
Ariksai has the exploration rights in the Kuwak area, which is three times that of the Skoler Oilfield, with an area of 12,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the area of ordinary prefecture-level cities in China, but it is less than one percent of the area of 1.5 million square kilometers in the Tyumen Oilfield. In the Western Siberian region, where oil fields are numerous, it is just a minority who is not concerned.
两者之间的距离并不是太远,但道路条件很糟,可以说几乎没有道路通行.越野车碾压出来的道路泥泞不堪,几乎每走几公里就会有车陷进去.
像是这样的油田,就算是做了初步的勘探,也没有办法立刻开钻,全靠直升飞机运输设备并不现实.
It is not pleasant to take a helicopter. The big, black and thick equipment leaks everywhere, and the cold air is pouring into it. The unique bumps of military aircraft are disgusting. The little fat felt uncomfortable and had a angrily complained: "Look at how comfortable the oil companies in European and American countries are, they directly contracted the ready-made oil fields in Russia. The roads of ten people are wide, and they drive over flat. After receiving the oil field equipment, they start drilling. The Russians can't find out even if they want to check it. Why do they still have to explore when they get here? It's so unfair."
苏城作为师父,没有解释的义务,通过耳机,轻飘飘的道:“不公平?你知道为什么有的人坐在直升飞机里颠簸,有的人被绑在直升飞机外颠簸吗?”
“哪有人被绑在直升飞机外啊.”小胖哈哈大笑.
Su Cheng also laughed: "European and American oil companies have fought for half a century before they have their current status and strength. Those guys who don't want to fight and are noisy will be driven out of the bumpy car and sit on the bumpy luggage rack."
The little fat man was silent.
