"Lao Xia, Director Xia, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, we will discuss it in detail later." Yao Yuan quickly comforted him.
Xia Honghua snorted, "You are too impulsive. If you act like this, you will fall into trouble sooner or later!"
Wen Tiejun looked at Yao Yuan sympathetically, "Xiao Yao, you are still too impulsive."
This is the reason why Qin Zhenjun reacted so strongly after seeing the plan. The current domestic natural gas market may not be able to consume even 200,000 tons, let alone 2 million tons.
"Director Xia, I will return to China as soon as the matter here in Abu Dhabi is over. Once I'm back in the country, I will explain to you again," Yao Yuan said.
Xia Honghua didn't want to speak out on such an occasion, so he folded his arms coldly, shook his head and sighed.
Patting Yao Yuan's shoulder to express comfort, Wen Tiejun said, "Xiao Yao, Director Xia is also thinking about you. Dongfang Petroleum finally got to where it is today. It really shouldn't be..."
The National Petroleum Corporation has no interest in natural gas. If it is not interested now, if it is interested in the future, I am afraid that it will only look at the tail lights of Oriental Petroleum and sigh.
Yao Yuan did not explain much, but Ruiz had already stepped onto the podium. Everyone fell silent in agreement, and their eyes fell on Ruiz's face and the cowhide envelope he held in his hand.
Yao Yuan held his breath and then slowly let it out.
The recoverable reserves of the Sedan Oilfield are as high as 3 billion tons, which is a full billion tons more than the Baku shallow sea oil field. It will become one of the top ten oil fields in the world.
Historically, this oil field was jointly developed by several major oil companies and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. This time, it is the only and last chance for China to obtain this super oil field.
Yao Yuan's lips slowly turned into a smile.
Under the spotlight, Ruiz opened the kraft envelope, took out the elegant paper, unfolded it, and read in a scriptural tone: "Total Oil Company of France, US$45.5 million."
Out.
"Chevron Oil Company of the United States, $47.8 million."
Also out.
…
Read on in the chronological order of submission of bids.
"New Nippon Petrochemicals, $48.5 million."
This is the current highest bid.
Dairo Miyamoto and Nobuichi Senchu couldn't help but raise their hearts, staring at Ruiz's mouth, hoping not to hear a higher bid than this price again.
"ExxonMobil, $49.8 million."
Miyamoto Tairo and Qianzhongxin were shocked. Xinrihua was out of the game.
Ruiz paused at this time, raised his head, glanced at the venue, and said, "Shell Oil Company, US$51 million."
There were exclamations in the venue. It was obvious that Shell Oil was the highest bidder.
Before anyone could react, Ruiz officially announced the result: "Congratulations to the winning bidder, China Oriental Petroleum Company."
There was silence.
After a few seconds, the people from Dongfang Petroleum Company suddenly jumped up and raised their arms and shouted!
Warm applause broke out at the venue, and the focus of the media fell on Dongfang Petroleum Company. A large number of reporters rushed over, leaving the heads of other oil companies in envy and surprise...
When he heard Shell Oil's bid, Yao Yuan got up and left the venue, because he knew the dust had settled. At the last moment of submitting the bid, Lin Xiaohu, who was waiting outside, got a number, and Yao Yuan added 500,000 to this number.
US dollars, this is the price offered by Oriental Petroleum.
Next, many people will come to seek cooperation, but Yao Yuan will not care about these things.
In Yao Yuan's villa, Xia Honghua sighed. Everyone except him was immersed in excitement. Su Jianmin and Qin Zhenjun, as administrative and technical personnel, stayed at the venue and were about to attend the official celebration banquet held in Abu Dhabi.
Yao Yuan will not participate. For him, his mission is completed.
Xia Honghua really regarded Yao Yuan as a private enterprise and a pioneer entrepreneur in reform and opening up. That is why he acquired the Sedan Oilfield at the expense of Yao Yuan's underwriting of all the natural gas in the United Arab Emirates.
"It's not certain whether you can produce oil, Xiao Yao, you are really, really..." Xia Honghua couldn't help but complain again.
Yao Yuan looked at him, then at Wen Tiejun, and said, "I'm going back to China soon. Do you want to come together? Or do you want to stay in Abu Dhabi for a few days?"
"Now?" Wen Tiejun was very surprised. When he turned around, he saw that everyone was packing their bags.
"Well, we underwrite three million tons of natural gas. I am Alexander. Besides, the Barker Line has basically been negotiated. I am not used to eating outside and miss the plain chicken from my hometown." Yao Yuan said.
"I'll go with you, and I'll pay you for the air ticket later," Wen Tiejun said.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "We have a special plane."
Wen Tiejun was stunned, stopped being pretentious, and immediately went back to the embassy with Xia Honghua to pack their bags. Yao Yuan arranged a car to take them there, went through the formalities, and then went directly to the airport.
At exactly nine o'clock in the evening local time, the Boeing 747 special plane took off for Hong Kong. Due to the four-hour time difference, it was already five or six o'clock in the morning in Beijing when it arrived in Hong Kong.
Yao Yuan and his party transferred to a car to cross the border and rushed all the way to Guangdong City, just in time to have morning tea in the provincial capital.
Xia Honghua and Wen Tiejun simply followed suit and praised the rich refreshments of Guangdong Morning Tea.
This morning tea lasted until past ten o'clock, and then we stayed at the Swan Hotel.
The arrival of Vice Governor Zhang made Xia Honghua understand that Yao Yuan had already made preparations to underwrite the UAE natural gas.
After exchanging warm greetings with Xia Honghua, Vice Governor Zhang held Yao Yuan's hand and said excitedly, "Xiao Yao, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, I congratulate Dongfang Petroleum on reaching new heights. Congratulations!"
"It's all supported by the leadership." Yao Yuan said with a modest smile.
The four of them sat down and started the discussion, including Wen Tiejun of course.
Yao Yuan said straight to the point, "Leader, Dongfang Petroleum has taken over the Sedan Oilfield. The conditions are as I reported to you before. Dongfang Petroleum promises to underwrite all natural gas in the United Arab Emirates. The country may be responsible for consuming two million tons."
"Well." Vice Governor Zhang had obviously discussed it with Yao Yuan in advance. He said, "The provincial government will issue a document soon. You can start building urban gas pipelines at any time. I will instruct the relevant departments to work with you on how to do this.
Talk. All in all, the province fully supports you."
Yao Yuan smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you, leader."
Having said this, Yao Yuan looked at Xia Honghua, "Director Xia, Southern Industry has been approved to build urban gas pipelines throughout the province, which means that natural gas pipelines will be directly connected to households to replace existing coal gas. We have done research with the provincial government.
, using pipeline gas as a living energy source can greatly reduce the living costs of urban residents. Natural gas is a clean energy source and fully complies with the country’s environmental protection requirements.”
Xia Honghua understood everything and said with a wry smile, "So you have already planned it. You also won the gas pipeline operating franchise in Shanghai, right? Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Only then did he understand the analysis report on domestic gas that Yao Yuan showed him on the plane. The most attractive thing about it was that the cost was half that of using gas!
This alone was enough to make Xia Honghua extremely interested.
Yao Yuan looked at Wen Tiejun, "Nanfang Industrial's gas pipelines in Guangdong Province and Shanghai are exclusively operated, but I hope to cooperate with the Petroleum Corporation to open up markets in other provinces, cities and regions."
We must bring the National Petroleum Corporation on board, or the Petrochemical Corporation, or other state-owned mining companies of equal size.
Without the support of a tall man, it is difficult to guarantee the fruits of victory.
