If it were 9,600 tons, it would be impossible for Qin Zhenjun to act like this, and it would be impossible for it to trigger the questions and inner thoughts that have been hidden in his heart for a long time!
That is 96,000 tons, with a daily production of 96,000 tons...
Yao Yuan stammered and asked, "Uncle Qin, is it really 96,000 tons?"
Qin Zhenjun took a deep breath and nodded slowly but firmly, "The maximum daily output is 96,000 tons, and the error is within a thousand tons, which is not much less than the Dongfang No. 5 well."
Dongfang Petroleum has its second oil well with a daily output of 100,000 tons!
Yao Yuan suddenly understood why Qin Zhenjun wrote an extremely fake data in front of everyone, and then quietly told him the real data.
If the unexpected discovery of 2,000 tons of gold is the "wall" in Huaibi's crime, then the Kashagan oil well with a daily output of nearly 100,000 tons is another "wall" and another gold mine!
If this news is disclosed, it will undoubtedly become the focus of international attention and will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the international crude oil market, and it will have a long-term impact.
Qin Zhenjun knew that Yao Yuan had to consider all factors, so he used his technical authority to conceal the true output and left the decision-making power to Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan took out another cigarette, lit it, and took several deep puffs. After fully feeling the taste of nicotine, he slowly calmed down.
He is still doubtful about this data, because his memory does not mention that the Kashagan Field has oil wells with a daily production of nearly 100,000 tons, most of which are several thousand tons of oil wells.
The annual output of the Shagan oil field is less than 20 million tons, but there are dozens of oil wells.
A 100,000-ton oil well can contribute more than 30 million tons of production in a year. There are no such monster-level oil wells in the world.
In this life, the Dongfang No. 5 oil well appeared, and now the Caspian Sea No. 1 oil well appeared, which has escaped Yao Yuan's memory.
What he remembers deeply is that the mining of Kashagan Field is extremely difficult. He didn’t know what the difficulty was before. After arriving at the field, he discovered that climate, geology, etc. are all world-class problems. Twenty years later, it was still daunting, let alone now.
.
There is no other explanation other than a stroke of good luck.
Yao Yuan asked solemnly, "Uncle Qin, this news is extraordinary. Are you sure you can achieve this output?"
"Absolutely no problem, but the mining cost will be three times, at least three times, that of the Dongfang No. 5 Well. Coupled with higher transportation costs, the profit will be very low, and it may be a loss." Qin Zhenjun gave an affirmative answer.
He calculated it based on current oil prices, and it is not surprising at all to conclude that he may be losing money.
Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "The cost is no longer important. If this is the world's second oil well with a daily output of 100,000 tons. I have to think carefully about how to let Nazaryev fully promote the large railway plan."
"I have already processed the data. Thanks to the strange data presented by Well No. 1 in the Caspian Sea, there is a lot of room for manipulation. However, you have to think carefully about the extent of mining and the range of daily production control.
." Qin Zhenjun said in a deep voice.
After a pause, he continued, "The output control of Dongfang Well No. 5 is to stabilize the international crude oil price. If the Caspian Sea Well No. 1 serves as an important promoter of the large-scale railway plan, it cannot take into account the stabilizing effect of international crude oil prices."
Qin Zhenjun is obsessed with technology, but it does not mean that he does not understand politics. After all, he has worked in a state-owned enterprise for so many years. Along the way, he has seen Yao Yuan wandering among various forces, joining forces vertically and horizontally, and interfering with each other vertically and horizontally. Knowing that Yao Yuan is
Going all the way to the present relies not only on accurate judgments of the future situation, but also on leveraging strengths, making full use of them, and amplifying one's own advantages...
Right now, the production capacity of Well No. 1 in the Caspian Sea is an advantage that Yao Yuan can take advantage of and amplify.
Qin Zhenjun had a vague feeling that Yao Yuan wanted to pass the Caspian Sea Well No. 1, not only to promote the large-scale railway plan. As for what Yao Yuan was still thinking, he had no way of guessing, and he didn't want to ask, because he knew that when Yao Yuan did it, it was both for the country and the people.
There are pros and cons.
That's enough.
If Yao Yuan is able to unite so many people of insight, if it is said that he relies on profit and material things, then it would be too small to underestimate him.
People like Nian Haihong and Qin Zhenjun, who represent the pinnacle of technology of the era, are willing to work under him. People like Su Jianmin and Xiao Jiabing, who represent the era of corporate management, are convinced by him because they have one thing in common with Yao Yuan.
Serve the country and the people, and have the people in mind.
Since Yao Yuan provided the army with an interest-free loan of US$2 billion, people around him have seen clearly that if the army needs it, Yao Yuan will take out the last dollar in his pocket, because Yao Yuan understands a truth, with a strong
Only the army will have a permanent and peaceful life, and will have a country and a family.
At first, some people thought that Yao Yuan was trying to gain favor from the military. However, since that time, even if the military actively invited him for business cooperation, he has refused. Over the years, Yao Yuan has only participated in the restructuring of United Airlines.
Moreover, the final step of United Airlines' restructuring is to completely separate from the military system and transform it into a state-owned enterprise. Without this prerequisite, Yao Yuan will not participate.
There are countless cooperations with Xinxing Group, but when it comes to equity, Yao Yuan is very cautious.
This is enough to prove that Yao Yuan has no intention of using the power of the army or getting involved in military assets.
His loyalty is evident.
I don't know how long he thought about it, but Yao Yuan's slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, his eyes became firm, and he said in a deep voice, "Uncle Qin, let's seal the Caspian No. 1 well as a waste well."
Qin Zhenjun's eyes flashed, he thought of something, and said, "Continue exploration?"
"Yes, the performance of Caspian No. 1 proves that the main oil reservoir of Kashagan Field is under the Caspian Sea belonging to Kazakhstan. If we continue to explore and drill wells, I want two oil wells with a daily production of about 30,000 tons." Yao Yuan said.
Qin Zhenjun completely understood.
Caspian No. 1 is sealed as a back-up. If exploration continues, two oil wells with a daily production of 10,000 tons will definitely be drilled. If there are not two oil wells with a daily production of 30,000 tons, then five oil wells with a daily production of more than 10,000 tons will be barely enough.
What Yao Yuan wants now is the motivation that will allow Nazaryev to fully promote the large-scale railway plan. A daily output of 30,000 tons is enough.
Together with the Bemut Oilfield, Vostok Oil can bring Kazakhstan an annual output of 30 million tons of oil, and it is 100% exportable.
This amount of money is enough for Nazaryev and the Kazakh Parliament to fully support the big railway plan.
"I understand, I have kept all the information on Caspian 1 as top secret," Qin Zhenjun said.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Doing so will only arouse the suspicion of interested people, so you must be on guard against others."
He believed in Qin Zhenjun, but he could not ensure that the drilling team of hundreds of people were all trustworthy people.
Qin Zhenjun nodded, "After changing the exploration point, do some political education."
"This is no problem." Yao Yuan agreed.
This is Dongfang Petroleum. If you work in a state-owned enterprise, there will be political education every week. If you work abroad, you will have to take political education classes and hold political education meetings every three to five days.
Political education is China’s magic weapon.
Now that things have happened, there is little point in Yao Yuan's continued stay. The battlefield below is Almaty and the meeting with Nazarev.
It will definitely be too late to wait for Qin Zhenjun to dig out another 30,000 tons of daily output before talking to Nazaryev.
The next day, Yao Yuan took a simple entourage and took a helicopter to the Araut Oblast Airport, where he took a special plane direct to Almaty.
After he landed, Lin Xiaohu, Lin Wei, He Shirley, and Su Jianmin were already waiting at the arrival gate. After receiving Yao Yuan and his party, they went directly to the sanatorium, which has been turned into the high-rise residence of Oriental Petroleum in Kazakhstan.
Yao Yuan was on the front line staring at oil exploration, while others carried out their work according to the plan.
It is Yao Yuan's usual practice to leave important matters to Lin Wei, and this time is no exception. Lin Wei is responsible for the design of the Hua-Haha Railway.
Yao Yuan did not waste time. After taking a short break, he immediately held a meeting to listen to Lin Wei's report on the design work of the Hua-Harbin Railway.
Headwind Logistics obtained the field survey data, and New Taipei General Aviation conducted aviation exploration. In the name of oil exploration, in just over two months, under the organization of Lin Wei, the Chunfeng Academy of Science and Technology, in conjunction with several major domestic railway design agencies, completed the
Preliminary design plan of Hua-Harbin Railway.
Lin Wei reported for more than an hour before explaining the entire design plan clearly, basically following Yao Yuan's ideas.
It leads from Karamay, passes through the Nus Refining Base, exits from Alashankou and enters Kazakhstan, then advances southwestward, passes through Almaty, and goes west along the border between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, branching off to connect
Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, the main line goes all the way west across the territory of Kazakhstan, and finally reaches the Kashagan area...
This is a magnificent railway line. Once completed, it will be the most convenient land transportation line between China and Kazakhstan and the capital region of Kyrgyzstan. This does not include future prospects.
Lin Wei explained, “Ayuan hopes to build three railway lines leading to Europe and the Middle East through Central Asia. Considering the investment and time issues, our design plan adopts the design plan of Line 1 to pave the way for Line 2.
This interaction point is Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.”
"Line 2 will lead from the Kashgar region in our country to the east. If it goes to the west, it will lead from Bishkek and connect to Uzbekistan. Line 2 is also the shortest in mileage. We plan to start construction at the same time as Line 1.
."
After a pause, he said, "The key to the two railway lines is the attitude of the Kazakhstan government. As long as they agree, Kyrgyzstan will not refuse. This is the biggest difficulty we have to overcome at the moment. Ayuan should be thinking
There are enough."
After introducing the plan, Lin Wei returned to his position. At this time, he became more and more calm, and his fat body contained more and more aura of a superior.
Everyone else had known about the big railway line plan for a long time, but now that they actually saw the preliminary design drawings, they were still shocked.
Railways are arteries. Railways built with standard gauges connect Central Asia to China. For China, at least economically, it will soon assimilate Central Asia.
No one doubts China's capabilities, even though Chinese people in the 1990s were full of fear and yearning for Western developed countries.
After all, China is a big country. Since its birth, it has never paid attention to other countries except Western developed countries. Only big countries can compete.
The issues Su Jianmin considered were very practical. He said, "Once the Hua-Harbin Railway is completed, the transportation costs of Kashagan Field, Bemut Oil Field, including our other oil and gas fields in Kazakhstan, will be greatly reduced. This is the goal of Oriental Petroleum."
Advantages.”
"After being shipped by sea from Shandong to South Korea and Japan, it will be difficult for other oil companies to compete with us on price."
It is not that he cannot see the economic and strategic significance of the large railway line plan, but on this occasion, his identity is the general manager of Dongfang Petroleum.
Yao Yuan asked, "When will the construction plan be available?"
"I'm about to report to you that the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences and several major railway design institutes have unanimously agreed that an overall planning and segmented design and construction approach should be adopted, with one section designed and constructed, one section open to traffic, and then connected to the entire line." Lin Wei said.
Yao Yuan nodded slightly and approved this method. This is also a construction method commonly used in future infrastructure construction. Firstly, it can greatly shorten the construction time. Secondly, it can be completed as soon as possible so that a certain section can take effect first.
This was the case with China's later high-speed railways. The country made strategic plans, and each province carried out unified design according to the plan and then constructed it in sections. One section was opened to traffic and the other section was completed. It often took four to five years or even longer for many trunk line high-speed railways to be fully connected, but in the entire line
Prior to the completion, the completed sections had been in operation for many years.
Nowadays, many railway and road projects still adopt the method of completing the entire line and opening it to traffic, resulting in a certain waste of resources.
In fact, the method of overall planning and segmented design and construction has already been used in the construction of highways in Guangdong Province. Of course, it was only after Southern Industrial got involved, so the construction and commissioning speed was so fast.
Putting aside the important tasks assigned by Yao Yuan, Lin Wei's main job is to manage money, and he manages all the money of such a large enterprise group.
At this time, he showed a wry smile and said, "Ayuan, I know you must have a way to get Nazarev to agree to the big railway line plan, but I have to tell you that the comprehensive construction of the Hua-Haha Railway will require an investment of more than 40 billion.
coins, nearly six billion U.S. dollars, we are out of money."
Yes, there is a new capital city of Kazakhstan to be built over there. Where can we find the $6 billion?
Yao Yuan has to race against time, which means that after the project is approved, it is necessary to start all construction, and it should be completed as soon as possible and feel at ease as soon as possible, otherwise the chance of unintended consequences is very high.
The construction period he gave was two years, and in just twenty-four months, more than 2,000 kilometers of railway would be completed.
In other words, the construction of the Hua-Harbin Railway cannot be invested in batches year by year as in previous projects. Sufficient personnel and resources must be organized and invested in all at once. Lin Wei's team has made a precise budget and can only invest in two batches at most.
US$4 billion will be invested in the first year, and the remaining investment will be completed at the beginning of the second year.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to build more than 2,000 kilometers of railways in two years.
Most of the funds of Dongfeng Group have been secretly mobilized into designated accounts to prepare for the Asian financial crisis. Let alone US$6 billion, US$600 million cannot be squeezed out!
Yao Yuan sighed softly, he was so rich but still worried about having no money!
