In the VIP interview room of Youth Hotel, Qianzhong Xinyi and Sherdar were chatting in low voices, with the latter nodding from time to time. Sitting on the other side was an old man with gray hair, who nodded from time to time, but did not participate in the conversation.
The entire meeting lasted only more than half an hour. After Sherdar left, he had an extra password box in his hand, which was much larger than the one he took from Yao Yuan.
After Sherdar left, Shinichi lowered his head and said to the gray-haired old man, "President Miyamoto, you just heard that Sherdar is from Oriental Petroleum's public relations relationship, but this person is now serving us.
Every move of Dongfang Petroleum cannot escape our eyes."
"Is this person reliable?" Dairo Miyamoto, general manager of Nippon Chemical (called president in Japan), asked in a low voice.
Qianzhong Xin nodded and said, "Reliable. Sherdar is the deputy mayor of Ashgabat, and he is an effective member of the Alipov camp. Oriental Petroleum Company poached a regional public relations manager named Kamil from the French company Total.
This woman is very extraordinary, she helped Total acquire a lot of oil fields."
“When Azerbaijan launched a public bidding process to develop Baku’s shallow-water oil fields, it was during the general election. All the seven Western oil sisters, including France’s Total, bet on the wrong bets. As a result, the unknown Aliyev won. The seven oil sisters were panicked.
When I was looking for connections to contact Aliyev, Oriental Petroleum came out. It turned out that Oriental Petroleum had been supporting Aliyev, even though Aliyev couldn't even come up with $100,000 and could only sit in the countryside and wait for death."
"At this time, Kamil appeared. Relying on the relationship she had established with Yao Yuan in the Tyumen Oil Field, she successfully helped the French company Total obtain the opportunity to participate in the development of the Baku shallow offshore oil field. All the Seven Oil Sisters were blocked."
Having said this, Qianzhong Xinyi said in a deep voice, "President Miyamoto, I have long expected Nippon Chemical's failure in Azerbaijan. Dongfang Petroleum and the Azerbaijan State Oil Company have tied up a lot of interests, and Aliyev is in dire straits."
At that time, only Oriental Petroleum was on his side. Even if it was to show others, Aliyev was unlikely to give up Oriental Petroleum."
Dairo Miyamoto nodded in agreement, "I agree with your analysis. Nippon Chemical is already two steps behind. If Dongfang Petroleum's oil pipeline plan succeeds, we will not be able to obtain oil from Azerbaijan in the next ten years. The only way is to stop Dongfang Petroleum.
Only with the oil pipeline plan can we have a chance."
"There is also the bidding for the Sedan Oilfield in the United Arab Emirates. This time the scale is larger than that of Azerbaijan. No one would have thought before that Oriental Petroleum Company not only won the Baku shallow offshore oil field, but also persuaded Aliyev to establish a national oil company. They used the bidding to win
He bought a stake in the shallow sea oil field and actually held 30% of the shares. You know, the assets of the Azerbaijan State Oil Company are all the oil and gas fields in the country." When Qianzhongxin mentioned this matter, he still looked in disbelief.
Dongfang Petroleum's operation is regarded as a classic case in the industry.
On paper, Vostok Petroleum spent two amounts of money. The first was election funds for Aliyev, totaling US$50 million, and the second was bidding funds, which was US$37.5 million.
In other words, Oriental Petroleum spent less than US$100 million to acquire 30% of the shares of the Azerbaijan State Oil Company.
This kind of operation is smarter than a white wolf with empty hands, and the return rate is higher.
In fact, what you can't see is that Southern Industrial became the general contractor of Azerbaijan's infrastructure projects at almost half the price. This is a condition and it is also Yao Yuan's commitment.
Southern Industrial distributed general contracting projects to domestic construction engineering companies, which meant that it had to pay for the remaining half of the money.
Fortunately, China is currently short of foreign exchange. In order to obtain 1 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange, domestic companies are often willing to pay 20 million Chinese dollars. The government implements subsidy policies for companies that earn foreign exchange through exports, such as export tax rebates, export loss subsidies, etc.
It should be pointed out that in addition to national policies, local governments also have relevant policies.
According to the current national policies on foreign exchange earnings from exports and Guangdong enterprises’ export earnings, if a provincial enterprise earns US$1 million in foreign exchange from exports, it can basically receive a subsidy of 5 million Chinese dollars, which is enough to ensure the profits of the enterprise.
In other words, Southern Industrial can give domestic construction engineering companies a very low price, so that it can take over the entire national infrastructure project in Azerbaijan. In the end, it was found that there was still some profit, so it simply stopped doing it and included private construction engineering companies.
Come in and select more than a hundred small and medium-sized enterprises to form an agreement entity to participate in Azerbaijan's infrastructure projects.
This is the main reason why Qianzhong Xinyi said that the interests of Oriental Petroleum and Azerbaijan are deeply tied.
Infrastructure construction is related to people's livelihood and is the pillar of economic development. Aliyev ultimately rejected Japan's temptation and continued to support Oriental Petroleum Company, which has a close relationship with this aspect.
Overall, Aliyev is a good president. As soon as he came to power, he vigorously promoted economic reforms and established a national oil company to uniformly develop the country's oil and natural gas resources.
This move is not simple, because it means that he will not copy the comprehensive privatization policy that Russia is implementing.
The largest fiscal expenditure is infrastructure construction, including transportation construction, which shows his pragmatic attitude in governing the country.
Yao Yuan knows that he can serve as president for thirty years, which is also the fundamental reason for Yao Yuan's large-scale investment activities in Azerbaijan.
Shinichi and Miyamoto Dairo secretly discussed the next step. Yao Yuan also received the investigation report, and the efficiency was beyond Yao Yuan's expectation.
"It's really Xinrihua. Yakov, your old subordinates' work efficiency is okay. Go ahead and talk to them to see if your old subordinates need help." Yao Yuan said.
Yakov understood and left with a box of cash.
After others finished reading the investigation report, Yao Yuan said solemnly, "Xinrihua is coming fiercely, and it is well prepared. In Azerbaijan, 100 billion yen of interest-free loans have been used, and they will be promised to Turkmenistan."
No less."
Su Jianmin said, "I didn't know that Xinrihua's backend was so strong. They have the support of the three major chaebols. First of all, funding is definitely not a problem."
"Yes, this report says that the general manager of Xinri Chemical has arrived in Ashgabat. It can be seen that they are determined to win." Lin Wei said worriedly.
Yao Yuan said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I come here in person?"
"It's different. They can just do anything to cause trouble for us. We are talking about pipelines and oil fields. It's already very difficult. With such a troublemaker, it will definitely be even more difficult." Lin Wei said solemnly.
.
Lin Xiaohu, who rarely expresses opinions on business matters, echoed, "What Awei said makes sense. Ayuan, this matter cannot be taken lightly. Since Sherdar has been bought by Xinrihua, it means that preparations for Xinrihua have already started."
Yes, you are right, they came prepared."
Yao Yuan nodded slightly, "Yes, we really can't underestimate Xinrihua..."
