After Kamil left, Yao Yuan calmly picked up the satellite phone and dialed Su Jianmin.
After the call was connected, Yao Yuan sounded very unhappy and asked, "I'm Yao Yuan, is there oil in the new well? Why didn't you report it?"
Su Jianmin was very excited and said quickly, "Mr. Yao, the new well has indeed produced oil, but the output has not yet come out. I plan to report to you after the output is determined."
"I said that if there is oil, you should report it to me as soon as possible." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "People from Total know about the situation of my own company before I, the boss, do. Isn't this a joke?"
Su Jianmin was startled when he heard Yao Yuan's anger, and said quickly, "Mr. Yao, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
After softening his tone, Yao Yuan asked, "Has the production volume been released?"
At this moment, Yao Yuan heard someone shouting on the other end of the phone: "The daily output is three hundred tons!"
The monthly output of nearly 10,000 tons is 120,000 tons per year. This is a high-yield well.
"Mr. Yao, the daily output is..."
"I heard it." Yao Yuan interrupted Su Jianmin, "Speed up the exploration. Results will be available in Baku soon. The vanguard must be ready to go to Baku within half a month."
Su Jianmin said, "Mr. Yao, don't worry, I'm already gathering some exploration teams, and at least twenty exploration teams will be able to go to Baku within half a month."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Yuan said to Lin Wei, "Awei, things here are almost done. You should be prepared. As soon as the results come out, you will return to China immediately. You can't be alone at home for a long time."
"Okay." Lin Wei nodded heavily.
Yao Yuan said, "After we win the exploration rights, we need to start substantive work as quickly as possible. As time goes by, I am worried that something will happen."
"Will something happen?" Lin Wei couldn't help but worry.
Yao Yuan said, "The appearance of Kamil reminded me. Compared with Western oil giants, our strength is still very weak. They have the backing of the country. When Aliyev's foothold is not stable, I worry that he will not be able to withstand the United States, Britain and France."
The pressure exerted by the three countries.”
Yao Yuan did not know much about Aliyev. He only knew that he was a very tough man. Being able to sit on the throne of the president for twenty years also showed that he was not someone who would give in easily.
However, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
We can only hope that, as the only person who supported Aliyev during his most difficult time, the 20 million dollars spent by Yao Yuan will enable him to regard Yao Yuan as a helper in times of need, rather than just a person who hopes to invest in Azerbaijan.
entrepreneur.
The day to submit the bid is June 30, the bid opening day is July 2, the Azerbaijan presidential election results day is July 1, and the new president will be sworn in at 0:00 on July 2.
Gaidar set the bid opening time at 0:30 on July 2, and his intention was very clear. After being successfully elected, the first thing he had to do was to announce the winner of the bid to develop the Baku shallow offshore oil area.
In the last few days, major oil companies are making their final efforts and launching a thrilling intelligence war around the bidding price. However, few people will study the value of the seven shallow offshore oil areas offered by Azerbaijan.
higher.
Because the Soviet Union has already conducted comprehensive preliminary exploration of these shallow-sea oil areas and the relevant information has been made public, it is not difficult to figure out the situation inside.
The shallow sea exploration and development technologies of the major oil giants are similar. The Exxon-Halliburton combination is more advantageous. The latter has the most advanced shallow sea oil exploration and development technology in the world.
In fact, because the interim government of Azerbaijan separated the bidding for seven large shallow offshore oil areas, the major oil giants had room for compromise with each other. All parties went back and forth repeatedly, and the bid was basically completed the day before submission.
Gou Lian.
In other words, several major oil giants have privately divided up the seven shallow offshore oil areas. They believe that companies that have not entered their small circle have actually been eliminated.
For example, for Southern Industrial, a little-known small Chinese company, the racing exploration in the Tyumen oil area is nothing to them.
On the day when the bid was submitted, Yao Yuan solemnly handed the bid of Southern Industrial to the Minister of Petroleum of Azerbaijan, watched as the other party sealed it, put it in the box, and then locked it.
When Yao Yuan turned to leave, Camille came up to him.
"As you wish, Total and Whitford have reached an agreement, and we have jointly bid for the largest oil block of 5,673." Kamil said with a smile, "I don't know which block Southern Industrial is bidding for.
Oil area?”
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Southern Industrial has launched a bid for all the oil areas, hoping to win at least one piece. I heard that the French government is planning to reduce its holdings in Total. The impact should not be small, right?"
"It's okay. The French government has always been very supportive of Total." Camille's face changed slightly. I don't know how this Chinese person knew about such a secret thing.
Yao Yuan smiled and said nothing, "Okay, I wish everyone good luck."
Camille was stunned on the spot. It was hard for her to imagine that a small Chinese company would have such strong confidence. In any case, this young Chinese entrepreneur should never show such confidence.
Is there information here that I don’t have?
She shook her head to throw away these unrealistic thoughts, jogged a few steps to catch up with Yao Yuan, and said, "Total will start exploration as soon as possible after winning the exploration rights. If Southern Industrial is interested, Total is willing to
I will entrust you with part of the exploration business."
Yao Yuan stopped, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
After saying that, he left without stopping.
Camille was even more puzzled.
All of Yao Yuan's performances were beyond her expectations. She should be the one who showed such confidence. Why did she think that Yao Yuan would have the last laugh?
Maybe Southern Industrial can really win one of the oil areas?
Kamil was startled by his guess, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said to himself, "How is it possible? A small business with less than 100 million US dollars in assets may be able to come up with a deposit and deplete their liquidity, right?
So what price can they offer? Maybe $30 million?"
…
According to the analysis of the Group's Strategic Intelligence Department, the bid for the exploration rights of the smallest No. 1 oil area should be between US$25 million and US$30 million. Total did not bid for the No. 1 oil area, and they must have a focus, otherwise
Exploration rights worth hundreds of millions of dollars can put the entire company in trouble.
Don’t forget, winning the exploration rights is only the first step, the subsequent exploration work is the gold-swallowing beast!
When Camille saw Yao Yuan preparing to get in the car, she was shocked, as if she thought of something, and ran and shouted, "Mr. Yao, please wait!"
Yao Yuan, who was standing by the car door, had to stop.
This scene was seen by representatives of other oil companies. They were surprised and puzzled. How could the famous Red Rose in the oil industry pursue a young Chinese man so arrogantly? These oil giants have never taken Southern Industry seriously, so naturally they did not
Pay attention to Yao Yuan, and since Yao Yuan hardly goes out, the outside world knows very little about him.
Kamil ran over, looked at Yao Yuan sincerely with a pair of big blue eyes, and asked, "Mr. Yao, the bid has been submitted. I don't think anyone can change the price. Is Southern Industrial's goal the No. 1 oil area?"
?”
Yao Yuan obviously hesitated and shook his head.
Camille asked again, "Oil area No. 6?"
Yao Yuan shook his head again.
Kamil didn't think he was being arrogant at all. He asked Yao Yuan from oil area to oil area and shook his head.
Suddenly, Kamil looked shocked and said in disbelief, "Won't Southern Industrial bid for all seven oil areas?"
This time Yao Yuan was silent.
Camille blinked and looked at Yao Yuan, as if he was dreaming.
