Only representatives of the Kazakh government and Oriental Oil Company were left in the huge venue, which suddenly seemed empty.
Yao Yuan shook hands with Nazaryev, exchanged a few words, and immediately got to the point. This time, Nazaryev did not sit on the rostrum, but came down to sit on an equal footing with Yao Yuan, and the two sides held face-to-face talks.
Obviously, the next step will be a dialogue and competition between the bosses of both sides.
It is very obvious that Nazarev is interested. Oriental Petroleum is building a new capital for Kazakhstan for free. Where can I find such a good thing?
Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, let alone a free new capital. Nazaryev has two main questions to figure out. First, what guarantee does Oriental Petroleum provide? Second, what kind of return does Oriental Petroleum want?
I am afraid that the operating concessions for oil and gas resources alone will not be enough, and Nazaryev is mentally prepared.
"Mr. Yao, the presidents of Azerbaijan and other countries mentioned you many times when they talked to me on the phone. I have been admiring you for a long time. Dongfang Petroleum is a very powerful and newly emerging world-class oil company. The Kazakh government very much welcomes Dongfang Petroleum.
Oil investment in Kazakhstan." Nazaryev said with a smile.
Just listen to this kind of official talk, but in fact it is just a useless foreshadowing.
Yao Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Oriental Petroleum is deeply involved in Central Asia and is committed to helping the people of Central Asia, especially the people of Kazakhstan, live a happier life. When the Buck Oil Pipeline passed through your country, our cooperation was very
joy."
If you speak in official terms, I will do the same. If you are not in a hurry, I will be even less anxious.
Nazarev smiled and nodded, and he also heard it. If he didn't take the initiative to speak, Yao Yuan would not take the initiative to mention it. Everyone knows that whoever mentions it first will be passive.
Nazaryev does not think so much anymore. The construction of the new capital will be the absolute central task of the Kazakh government in the next five years. Moreover, it does not necessarily mean that it will lose the initiative if it is proposed first.
At least it's a close match.
"Mr. Yao, the Kazakh government very much welcomes your proposal to build the new capital for free, but I don't know if you have a specific plan." Nazaryev asked seriously.
This really comes true.
Yao Yuan looked at Wan Quangui, who was sitting second to last on the left. Wan Quangui nodded and took out a stack of materials from his briefcase. It was not thick, but it was all color printing paper, and handed it to the Kazakh staff.
.
"Mr. President, this is an overall plan that I commissioned several design companies to make according to your requirements for the new capital. Due to space limitations, what is provided now is a partial rendering. It includes the Presidential Palace, the Capitol Building, and the Government Buildings.
Post and Telecommunications Building, Commercial Plaza, the future National Oil and Gas Management Company, etc.," Yao Yuan said.
What!
Have you even released the planning diagram?
Even if it’s just a partial rendering!
This sincerity alone moved Nazaryev very much, and it showed that Oriental Petroleum really took the construction of Kazakhstan's new capital into consideration and took action.
It is not difficult to find a design company to design a set of planning drawings according to Kazakhstan's requirements, and it does not cost a lot of money. It is a piece of cake for the top ten oil companies in the world. The problem is that these companies do not want to participate in Kazakhstan's work from the beginning.
When building a new capital city, naturally we would not think of going to a design company to come up with a preliminary plan.
But Oriental Petroleum Company did this.
Lin Wei took out a budget sheet, handed it to the Kazakh staff, and said, "Mr. President, we have made a preliminary budget based on the preliminary design plan. Please take a look."
Even the budget has been made!
It can be said that Nazaryev looks at Oriental Petroleum with admiration. The Kazakh government has not even produced a budget, but Oriental Petroleum has done it first.
There is only one copy of both materials. It is obvious that Oriental Petroleum's purpose is to let Nazarev see it, without considering other people. In Nazarev's view, this reflects respect for his authority.
Even small details like this are noticed.
Nazarev quickly looked carefully.
All the buildings of major government agencies have plans. Looking at the contents, you can see that Oriental Petroleum is not just coping, but working hard.
Yao Yuan explained, "Mr. President, we have investment-controlled design companies that can come up with the best design plan according to your requirements at any time."
Nazaryev raised his head and said, "Mr. Yao, you have worked hard and I see your sincerity."
Immediately, he looked at the budget table. Every item was very specific, and he could see that it was not done casually, but was well-founded.
Finally, Nazarev's eyes fell on the series of numbers in the general budget, a very long series of numbers, very specific.
He was shocked.
He raised his head and looked at Yao Yuan in shock.
Yao Yuan was smiling, and the executives of Chunfeng Group on his left and right were also smiling, exuding strong confidence.
Nazaryev slowly calmed down and said, "Mr. Yao, more than 20 billion US dollars is not a small amount. Sorry, I am not doubting the strength of Oriental Petroleum, but this is indeed a very large amount of money."
He was a bit out of his mind, because Kazakhstan's GDP last year was only a little over 20 billion US dollars, and Oriental Petroleum has to spend so much money to build a new capital!
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Dongfang Petroleum is just one of the companies I control. It is true that Dongfang Petroleum cannot afford such a large amount of money, but it is not enough for the controlling parent company to spend 20 billion U.S. dollars through free funds, financing and other means.
Disaster."
"Mr. President, we plan to complete the construction of all government agency buildings and infrastructure within three years, with an average annual investment of about seven billion U.S. dollars. By then, your government agencies will be able to move to the new capital before the year 2000.
of."
The free construction of the new capital includes, of course, the construction of government agencies and other public buildings as well as the entire urban infrastructure and public facilities, such as hospitals, schools, etc. Other commercial construction projects are naturally not included in the free construction.
"In fact, after signing the agreement, we can organize tens of thousands of people and supporting projects to move into the site within a month, and we can implement US$5 billion in construction funds in 1996." Yao Yuan stopped here.
Dongfang Petroleum's attitude has been very clear and fully demonstrated its determination and strength.
He Xueli duly handed over a corporate introduction to Dongfeng Group. This was the first time that Dongfeng Group disclosed its asset size to the outside world.
When Nazaryev saw a large number of group companies controlled by Dongfeng Group spread all over the world, he gasped. Each group company was worth more than 1 billion U.S. dollars, and many of them were very important in the world.
High profile companies.
In fact, what he saw was only companies that were 100% controlled by the Dongfeng Group. There were even more companies that participated through investment. Some held the majority of the shares but did not participate in the operation, and some were controlled and operated. There were many more companies. Even Yao Yuan himself did not know how many companies there were.
How many.
The equity relationship is even more complicated, so much so that Lin Wei was frightened when he saw it.
Nazaryev has nothing to worry about. Oriental Petroleum has the ability, strength, determination and sincerity. Its promise to build the new capital of Kazakhstan for free is not just rhetoric or superficiality, but something that can be seen and touched.
of.
The construction of the new capital city will be basically completed within three years, which is really hard to refuse.
Next, it’s time for Nazaryev to impose conditions.
What price will Kazakhstan have to pay in exchange for the promise of Oriental Petroleum?
Nazarev was mentally prepared. He smiled and said, "Mr. Yao, if you pay such a high price, you probably don't just want the oil and gas resources management concession, right?"
Yao Yuan said directly, "Yes, we need an exclusive operating concession for all mineral deposits in Kazakhstan for a period of fifty years. The operating concession should include exploration rights, mining rights, mineral product management rights, etc.
"
The people on Harfang's side were suddenly stunned.
This asking price is not too high.
Nazaryev thought for a while and said, "There is no problem with operating concessions for oil and gas resources. We can make concessions on the share ratio, such as 50-50."
This concession is not too small. Previously, Kazakhstan had to take 60% of the profit. In other words, for every 10 US dollars earned by an oil company that obtained an operating concession, the Kazakh government had to take 6 US dollars, and the oil company could stay in
The net profit in hand is about 2-3 US dollars.
If it is 50-50, the oil company can make a profit of 4-5 US dollars, which is almost double the original amount. This is a matter of one-and-done.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. President, 50-50 is the basic condition, but the exclusive concession for all mineral deposits is also a must. I have no intention of bargaining with you. What I said is our bottom line. I can give you a promise.
, after Dongfang Petroleum obtains the exclusive concession rights for all mineral deposits, it will be able to make your country's GDP exceed 100 billion US dollars within ten years."
"This can be written into the agreement, and if this goal is not achieved, you can take back our exclusive franchise."
Nazarev looked at Yao Yuan and made quick calculations in his mind.
Kazakhstan is very rich in mineral deposits. It is the country with the largest mineral deposit types and reserves in Central Asia. Among them, the proven reserves of copper mines rank fourth in the world, reaching 35 million tons, while China is a copper-deficient country.
To pay such a huge price, it is impossible for Yao Yuan to let go of Kazakhstan's mineral treasure house.
He had already been thinking about the mining company.
As the basic raw materials for industry, more than 100 mineral deposits including iron ore are very important, and their status is not inferior to that of oil and natural gas resources.
Originally, he did not intend to obtain the exclusive concession rights for all mineral deposits, because it was very difficult. The Petrochemical Corporation refused to cooperate with Dongfang Petroleum, tried its best to suppress Dongfang Petroleum, and announced the withdrawal of the east coast petrochemical base. This made
Yao Yuan was very angry.
At the same time, it also reminded Yao Yuan that you cannot put your eggs in one basket and must speed up your overseas deployment.
