This proposal was undoubtedly of interest to Jason.
Halliburton is the world's largest oilfield service provider, selling tens of thousands of oil extraction machines every year. Just controlling costs alone can create tens of millions of dollars more in profits for the company.
The purchase of the patent for the double-head oil extraction machine was Jason's proud work. With this move, Halliburton once again led the world in oilfield service technology.
If he can create more than tens of millions of dollars in profits for the company every year, there will be almost no suspense for him to become the CEO of Asia.
Jason thought for a while and asked, "Does this price include royalties?"
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, you know that the contract is very clear. For every double-head oil extraction unit produced by Halliburton, it needs to pay a royalties of US$3,000 to Southern Industrial. Halliburton will no longer produce it.
Naturally, there will be no such expense.”
Jason was very happy and was about to say something when Yao Yuan changed the topic and said, "However, the premise is that Halliburton cannot resell to other oilfield service providers. This must be written into the contract."
After thinking for a moment, Jason agreed simply, "No problem."
Halliburton doesn't need to make money by reselling products to its peers. They have many oil field customers.
"I think that for Southern Industrial, producing double-head oil extraction machines for Halliburton can bring practical benefits. The Baku oil field is too illusory." Jason said with a smile.
He may have good intentions, but Yao Yuan doesn't believe it.
Yao Yuan picked up the glass of foreign wine poured by Lin Xiaohu, looked at it, and said, "Do you know why Chinese people don't drink outside the dining table?"
As the executive vice president of Halliburton Asia, Jason's focus is naturally on the Chinese market. China Petroleum Corporation imports a lot of petroleum machinery from Halliburton every year. This is a big business, and from
Judging from the trend, it will become bigger and bigger.
Therefore, Jason has some understanding of Chinese culture.
Jason thought for a while and said, "Chinese people like to discuss business at the dinner table."
Yao Yuan shook his head and put down his glass, "It's because we Chinese people regard life and work as important parts of life, and at the same time distinguish the order in them, so we will not drink regardless of the occasion and time. This is very important to us."
It’s necessary to keep a clear head.”
This sentence surprised Jason. None of the Chinese people he had come into contact with had such novel ideas. Yao Yuan's attitude showed a very open mind and very strong self-confidence.
Recalling that there has been almost no news about Southern Industrial from the beginning to now, but Yao Yuan, as the helmsman, is not in the Tyumen oil area but has been staying in Baku. You must know that Southern Industrial has made considerable gains in the Tyumen oil area.
Yao Yuan should be staring there.
Thinking back to the day when the tender was submitted, Camille, a flower from the marketing department of France's Total Company, chased Yao Yuan out of the house regardless of her image. The target was Yao Yuan. Jason suddenly felt that there should be something he didn't know about.
Where does Yao Yuan's self-confidence of almost winning come from?
Jason had the same doubts as Camille.
Unlike Kamil, because he designed the revolutionary oil extraction machine, Jason believed that Yao Yuan was a person who could create miracles. Furthermore, he had built a large-scale enterprise group at a young age, and he was a leader in his own right.
illustrates his ability.
Jason is a cautious person. In the words of an old Chinese man, he will not offend others easily. This is the exact opposite of Cage.
He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Yao, the bidding has come to an end, and everyone is waiting for the results. You and I are friends, right? The cooperation between Halliburton and Southern Industrial is also very pleasant. I think, each other
Is there some information that can be exchanged between them?”
"Halliburton is also a partner that I value very much." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "But there is really no more information to exchange about the bidding. Of course, Southern Industrial has launched bidding for seven oil fields. This can be told
your."
Jason was stunned, "Did everyone bid?"
"That's right." Yao Yuan nodded firmly.
Jason was stunned for more than a minute, and then shook his head firmly, "No way, the deposit alone requires fifty million U.S. dollars, and you don't have that much money."
After listening to Yelena's translation, Lin Wei couldn't help but say, "I am the financial controller of Southern Industrial."
Yao Yuan couldn't help laughing and said to Jason, "This is my financial controller. He knows best how much money Southern Industrial has, even better than me."
"The smallest oilfield bidding price is more than 30 million US dollars!" Jason couldn't help but say.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that he had spoken too quickly.
However, Yao Yuan obviously didn't take it to heart. He chuckled and said, "Although Southern Industrial is much smaller in scale than Halliburton, it can even be said that it is not as good as a branch of Halliburton. But I can use it."
Our working capital will not be less than yours."
He paused and said, "For transactions exceeding five million US dollars, Mr. Jason, you have to report it to the CEO of the group headquarters for approval, but I can mobilize more than one billion US dollars in funds at any time, with just one sentence."
"One billion dollars? Mr. Yao, you really know how to joke." Jason laughed out loud.
However, he suddenly discovered that Yao Yuan did not smile, nor did the fat financial manager, nor did the beautiful Russian translator smile, so he realized that he was the fool.
He said something mysteriously, "If Mr. Yao can win the oil field, Halliburton is very interested in starting a new cooperation with Southern Industrial."
"Didn't you already bid jointly with Exxon?" Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Jason said, "One code equals one code, there is no conflict."
Yao Yuan didn't say anything, just nodded, "There will definitely be a chance to cooperate."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the lounge suddenly changed. The lively atmosphere was gone, and was quickly replaced by deathly silence, which was suddenly so quiet that it could be discerned by the drop of a pin.
Yao Yuan glanced at the oil tycoons who were chatting happily back and forth. Their expressions were surprisingly consistent, with disbelief and confusion mixed with surprise, but mostly uneasy.
"What happened?" Lin Wei looked around blankly, not knowing what happened.
As soon as his voice fell, the lounge suddenly became noisy, with phone calls and urgent exchanges, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Jason frowned and said, "It seems the election results are out."
He stood up and said, "Mr. Yao, please excuse me."
After walking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "Mr. Yao, the election results are directly related to the bidding results. Don't you care?"
