Who doesn’t want to engage in advanced technology and lead the world?
I think about it all, but it is not something that can be done with words, nor can it be done with determination and wisdom. It requires time and funds. The more funds, the shorter the time, and vice versa.
The oil group is the leader. How much money do they invest in research and development every year?
No more than 10 million, it’s Chinese currency!
How much is the annual R&D funding of the Offshore Engineering Institute of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences?
Starting from US$500 million, this does not include special funds for separate major projects.
People who know the situation often wonder, with so many profitable companies under the Dongfeng Group, why does Yao Yuan need to personally make the decision every time when money is spent?
The first reason is that it often requires spending a lot of money, and the second reason is that a lot of profits attributed to the parent company are invested in Chunfeng Academy of Science.
The annual personnel cost of Chunfeng Academy of Science alone is as high as 1 billion Chinese coins, and the average annual salary of technical researchers is as high as 150,000 Chinese coins!
Can the oil group afford such heavy funding for research and development?
It's simply impossible.
Halliburton has to be defeated, let alone the oil group, which is 30 years behind the world level, let alone the petrochemical group and the National Offshore Oil Group, which was established less than ten years ago.
Xiong Jinhua did not want to leave an impression on his leadership that he was not enterprising. He was also unwilling to be a junior petroleum and petrochemical boy forever. He said, "Mr. Yao, if possible, CNOOC Group hopes to jointly develop offshore oil with Dongfang Petroleum. Of course,
We still have to have the absolute right to speak."
Yao Yuan's heart moved, "What about your negotiations with Exxon Mobil and other Western oil companies?"
Xiong Jinhua took a careful look at the chief executive and Mr. Li and said, "There is certainly no need to exchange resources for their technology for problems that we can solve ourselves."
That’s right, that’s right!
Historically, due to the guiding ideology of "resources for technology" in the early days, CNOOC signed cooperation agreements with many Western oil companies. To put it bluntly, the cooperation models between national oil companies in Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan and other countries and Oriental Petroleum are similar.
.
Take out the resources, let others mine them, and wait for the results.
What techniques can be learned?
You can learn a shitty technique!
Later, it changed its strategy in time, and CNOOC quickly embarked on the path of strong technology. In the later period, its performance in all aspects surpassed its two big brothers, Petroleum and Petrochemicals.
"Chairman Xiong is right. Since we have world-leading technology, of course there is no need to cooperate with Western Petroleum Company. The energy field is different from other fields. It is best to develop it ourselves." Xia Honghua interjected.
Xiong Jinhua nodded and said, "That's what I mean, Mr. Yao, there were some conflicts between the two companies in the past because of the competition for the Sedan Oilfield, but you can understand the things in the business."
Yao Yuan shook his head and waved his hands and said, "Chairman Xiong, that's nothing. You also know that I took the initiative to invite CNOOC to cooperate in the bidding. Let's not talk about the past, what do you think CNOOC Group plans to do?"
Xiong Jinhua was a little speechless.
It is very appropriate to use "asking for others" to describe his current situation.
The domestic environment is like this, and at the same time, so many large Western oil companies want to cooperate with Dongfang Petroleum, and Dongfang Petroleum chooses the best among them to cooperate!
Despite the fact that there is such a powerful domestic oil company that refuses to cooperate, rather than seek cooperation with Western oil companies, Xiong Jinhua still has a bottom line.
, I don’t want to be poked in the back by the common people.
From this point of view, Xiong Jinhua is still a good official.
But when Yao Yuan asked so bluntly how he wanted to cooperate, it was difficult for him to speak, especially in front of the big boss.
You provide technology and funds, we provide... exploration rights, mining rights...
Can you say it?
Maybe if the big boss looks ugly and slaps the table and gives Oriental Petroleum the exploration and exploitation rights for domestic offshore oil and gas, CNOOC Group will go crazy.
Xia Honghua was about to say something that was difficult to say for Xiong Jinhua when she saw Yao Yuan looking at everyone with a smile, then his eyes fell on the chief and Mr. Li, and said, "Leader, Mr. Li, I dare to propose a plan. If
If it’s not suitable, let’s discuss other options.”
"Okay, Xiao Yao, don't worry, just say whatever you think and speak freely." The chief smiled and waved his hand.
Yao Yuan nodded.
Xiong Jinhua suddenly became nervous. What he feared most was of course Yao Yuan's big talk. With the amount of funds Yao Yuan had, he would buy several CNOOC groups without hesitation. Even if Yao Yuan wanted 49% of the shares, CNOOC Group would be very
Uncomfortable.
Because this means that it will be very difficult to change the ownership structure of CNOOC Group in the future, and CNOOC Group is in danger of losing its controlling stake.
To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the CNOOC Group to introduce another state-owned enterprise to take a stake in Oriental Petroleum.
But in the current situation, if Yao Yuan really proposed this condition and the leader did not object, it would be difficult or impossible for Xiong Jinhua to refuse.
The cards in Yao Yuan's hand are so good, every one of them is a trump card.
Xiong Jinhua was very nervous and worried about gains and losses.
Everyone else knew what Xiong Jinhua was worried about and felt the same. They couldn't help but look at Yao Yuan. The conference room suddenly became very important.
I heard Yao Yuan say, "Chunfeng Investment has invested in CNOOC Group, and the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences has granted CNOOC the right to use the relevant technology free of charge. Well, just give me 15% of the shares."
What?
Xiong Jinhua suspected that he heard wrongly.
Investment, free technology, only 15% of the shares?
Even the chief executive and Mr. Li were mentally prepared for Yao Yuan to speak loudly, because they did have the confidence. The cooperation between the two parties is actually unequal. Yao Yuan's advantages are too great, and CNOOC Group's
The state is behind this, otherwise we would not even be qualified to cooperate with Yao Yuan.
Leaders think this way, which shows that they really put private enterprises on an equal footing with state-owned enterprises when looking at problems.
"Mr. Yao, are there any more?" Xiong Jinhua couldn't help but ask, he didn't believe it.
How could it be that only 15% of the shares are needed, and the technology is given for free? If you are willing to use the technology to offset part of the investment capital, that is the best result. If not, the oil group will have to pay for it.
Who doesn't know that Dongfeng Group has a powerful legal department.
Yao Yuan shook his head with certainty, "No, that's the only condition."
Xia Honghua is most willing to see the two companies cooperate. The reform of state-owned enterprises has always been one of his main tasks. He said, "Chairman Xiong, Mr. Yao has already expressed his position. You should also say something."
"I..." Xiong Jinhua looked at the leaders, raised his chin, and said decisively, as if he was afraid that Yao Yuan would change his mind, "Of course I have no objection, of course I am willing. I think Mr. Yao's plan is very good. However, there is a little
Question, Mr. Yao, how much capital does Springfeng Investment intend to invest?"
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "You can pay as much as you need. Of course, we will send an audit team to jointly audit the assets of CNOOC Group. Chairman Xiong, don't worry, intangible assets are also included in our evaluation."
"Okay! It's a deal!" Xiong Jinhua agreed quickly, for fear of changes.
If Yao Yuan says a number, be it low or high, the leader will most likely agree to it, but the asset assessment will be different. Seeking truth from facts, the amount is what it should be.
At this time, Xiong Jinhua looked at Yao Yuan as if he were looking at his fiancée who paid a dowry, full of love and as ambiguous as he wanted.
Yao Yuan looked at Xiong Jinhua in the same way. The more he looked at him, the more he thought Xiong Jinhua's chubby face was cute, even cuter than Lin Wei's. He thought to himself, why didn't he realize that this old Xiong was a good person before?
15% of the shares of CNOOC Group, this is the original share!
Twenty years later, the total assets of CNOOC Group reached 1.3 trillion Chinese dollars!
15% is 195 billion Chinese coins!
What we have to pay now is only a dozen or two billion, and the theoretical benefits in twenty years will be nearly a hundred times!
Is there any investment more exciting than this one?
Yao Yuan doesn't care at all what the total assets of CNOOC Group are assessed to be, he can completely accept it even if it is 20 billion, 30 billion or even 50 billion.
In fact, the total assets of CNOOC Group today will not exceed 20 billion, which is a very high premium!
The two were like lovers falling in love, frequently conveying their affection with their eyes.
"That's good, everyone is happy." Mr. Li said with a smile.
Both sides felt that they had taken advantage of the situation and couldn't smile from ear to ear.
Xiong Jinhua recited it countless times in his heart, Mr. Yao is a good man, a great good man, the greatest good man in the world!
Of course, maybe he would still make fun of Yao Yuan in his heart for being such a bad person.
However, he would not think that Yao Yuan was a fool. If Yao Yuan was a fool, he and the others here would probably be uncivilized people.
Xiong Jinhua only thought that Yao Yuan made such a big concession to please the leaders. In his opinion, Yao Yuan was so rich, so he spent some money to let the leaders have the impression that he has the sentiment of "leaving the small family to take care of everyone".
It's very worthwhile.
Of course, it cannot be said that Xiong Jinhua's analysis is completely wrong. Yao Yuan did take this aspect into consideration.
It’s not like I don’t have money!
Everyone knows that after talking about the petroleum system, the next step is the matter of Guangdong Province and the other three coastal provinces and cities. The chief minister finally organized such a special meeting, and of course he will not only discuss one thing.
The next thing is much simpler. Except for Guangdong Province, other provinces and cities are talking about strategic cooperation intentions related to Yao Yuan. The chief minister and Mr. Li will not help you with everything.
Coordinated talks are ultimately about both parties.
The reason why oil is discussed separately is because it is a strategic resource and is related to national energy security. The previous battles also started because of oil, so leaders must make a concrete and practical statement on this matter.
Yao Yuan accepted all suggestions from the three provinces and cities. Isn’t it just investment? Isn’t it just giving full play to the leading role of private enterprises? It couldn’t be simpler. He even took the initiative to introduce overseas investment. This move won the hearts of the three provinces.
The city's economic leaders spoke highly of him, which made him even more fond of Yao Yuan.
What does it mean to rot in the pot? As long as the wealth created by himself can benefit the people, Yao Yuan can accept it.
Instead of rotting in the pot of a very small number of people with ulterior motives.
At the end of the meeting, the chief took the initiative to ask, "Xiao Yao, you are helping Kazakhstan build a new capital for free. The budget is said to be as high as more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. We are also investing in three state-owned oil companies. There are funds.
No pressure?”
Yao Yuan suddenly became vigilant. Although his face was calm, there was a huge wave in his heart!
