A large number of Chinese oil workers came to Sakhalin Island to extract oil, but they encountered layers of resistance.

First, we need to open up the joints of the state government.

The most troublesome thing is how to implement the "Product Sharing Agreement", such as recruiting workers. The agreement clearly stipulates that when recruiting workers, "the number of workers in the Bear Country shall not be less than 80% of the total number of workers recruited; only in the early stage of the agreement, there are no furry bear citizens among the

Foreign workers and experts can be recruited only when experts and technical workers are relevant.”

When thousands of Chinese employees come to Sakhalin Island, they must go through immigration procedures, register for labor service with the state government, and accept supervision.

However, Far East Oil and Gas Company is the representative of Far East interest groups, so how to break through regulations has become everyone's business.

To this end, the Sakhalin regional government "took the initiative" and submitted an application to relevant national departments. On the grounds that "it is technically difficult to develop offshore oil and gas resources on the continental shelf" and "the supply of local labor personnel has been insufficient in recent years", it plans to hire external personnel.

The proportion dropped to 30%, and the final approval proportion of the State Duma was 60%.

After receiving the results, the governor personally called Abra and apologized for failing to achieve the goal.

Finally, Wang Hongbin thought of a way, which was to transfer a group of employees from Chukeqi to join in, so the new employee roster ratio met the standard.

The employees from Chukqi are all Chukqi, with yellow skin, dark eyes, and can even speak Chinese. Those who are willing to work here will stay, while others will just treat it as a trip and leave with a red envelope.

Giving the green light to the Far East Oil and Gas Company is a tacit thing. After all, the Far East Oil and Gas Company is Mao Xiong's own company and represents the interests of many businessmen in the Far East.

However, seeing that the oil and gas exploration in the Far East is about to enter the fast lane, it seems that the Chinese have chosen a "side ball" method to obtain the oil and gas resources in the Far East. How is this allowed?

The first one to jump out was Sam.

Things turned around in May, when Pyushin met with the boss of Sam State in the Kremlin Palace. Pyugin said that the Far East implements an open economic policy and welcomes investment from Sam State enterprises...

In a word, as long as it complies with the policy, Sam's tycoons are welcome to come.

Pewgin even made a metaphor: We who open restaurants are not afraid of too many customers.

Immediately afterwards, the two big bosses told reporters at a press conference that the two countries will continue to strengthen cooperation in economy, energy, investment and other aspects.

Mainstream media outlets in China have commented that the economies of the two countries are highly complementary and that their economic and trade cooperation, especially in the energy field, has broad prospects.

This diplomatic action made Pugh, who had always wanted to hug Sam's lap, very happy.

Immediately afterwards, Exxon Petroleum Group sent a high-level delegation to visit Mao Xiong. In early June, they met with the Minister of Fuel and Power. The delegation then went straight to Sakhalin Island and held talks with Abra and others in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

.

After some negotiations, the top management of the two companies reached an agreement to jointly develop the three major oil fields in the Sakhalin No. 1 project, and may cooperate on other projects.

As for China's access to oil, in the face of huge interests, it is no longer worth entangled.

The inside story of the talks between the two parties spread quickly. When the outside world inquired about it, they couldn't sit still. As partners of the Sakhalin No. 1 and No. 2 projects, including Marathon Oil Company of Sam Country and Mitsui of Sun Country,

The two major Mitsubishi trading companies and Royal Shell of the Netherlands all sent representatives to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to learn about the specific situation.

In the end, they reached a cooperation agreement with Far East Oil and Gas Co., Ltd., agreeing that Far East Oil and Gas will work with the above-mentioned companies to develop the oil and gas fields around Sakhalin Island. Others who couldn't sit still were Asange and Bangziguo.

These two countries are also major oil consumers and importers. Both countries are interested in developing oil and gas resources in the Far East. However, they acted too late that year and did not catch up with the bidding for Sakhalin No. 1 and No. 2 projects.

...The CEOs of multinational companies gathered in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, which excited the state government. The final result also satisfied all parties, and all the guests who came will return with a full meal.

What is the result?

First, all entities and potential investors involved in oil and gas development projects in Sakhalin and surrounding areas unanimously agree to entrust Far East Oil and Gas Co., Ltd. to explore and develop the oil and gas fields within the project.

Second, the above-mentioned unanimous stakeholders agree and recommend to their governments to establish a Northeast Asian energy distribution mechanism and focus on purchasing crude oil and natural gas produced in the Far East.

Third, the above-mentioned unanimous interests will facilitate Far East Oil and Gas Co., Ltd.'s entry into other regions.

...

The contents of these agreements are no small matter. You must know that these energy companies have national backgrounds and are not impressed by petty profits.

So, what kind of flesh and bones can attract these forces?

The only thing is profit, because Abra said on behalf of the company: “The technology and strength we now have can reduce the cost of oil and gas development to the lowest, with the cost of oil and gas development per ton not exceeding $30.

If your oil fields are developed by us, the produced oil will be handed over to you at a price of 30 knives per unit.

We bear all investment and mining risks and don't make a dime. You just need to send someone to count and keep accounts.

The premise is that if we harvest it, you must be able to sell it."

If you don’t make a dime, everyone won’t believe it. An expert from Sunland jumped out and said: “According to our calculations, the exploration cost per ton of oil in the world is 2 to 6 dollars, and the development cost is 5 to 12 dollars.

.

If you sell oil to us at the lowest cost price, it should be $7 per ton."

Abra chuckled and said: "I'm sorry, sir, the lowest cost price of $30 is based on the data from the annual reports of our top 10 energy companies in the world.

According to the data of these companies in the past five years, the cost of oil extraction per ton is 35 to 40 dollars, and our commitment is 30 dollars, and we have already made a profit of 5 dollars per ton.

As for the situation of the company you represent and the situation you mentioned, please forgive us for not understanding it."

Abra spoke very domineeringly, making the expert blush.

Experts' statement actually has a certain basis. The premise is that there is no failure in exploration and drilling, and it can only be achieved if the depreciation of fixed assets and financial expenses are not calculated.

The cost per ton of 35 to 40 dollars mentioned by Abra is a figure unanimously recognized by all major companies. 30 dollars per ton is an absolutely reasonable price that no one here can achieve.

Not even on land, let alone at sea.

This price is absolutely crazy. The international crude oil price is now 25 dollars per barrel, which is 182 dollars per ton when converted into tons.

Obtaining oil and gas from the Far East for $30, selling it for $182, making a profit of $150 per ton, only a fool would not do it at this price.

Someone else said: "We have no doubt about the strength of the Far East, but we are worried about whether you have such technology."

Abra said: "I understand your concerns. Because of this, we are constructing day and night these days. Please arrange for representatives to stay for a period of time. Within a week at the latest, we will invite you to visit the sea and witness our Far East oil and gas exploration."

The strength.”

While oil and gas giants from various countries were waiting for the results in the Far East, Chen Lidong was also summoned by China's senior officials.

Inside the high-walled building, the boss who was familiar with Chen Lidong met him.

Chen Lidong sat half-assed on the sofa and said, "It's hard work as a leader. There are so many documents that need to be reviewed and approved. It's really a busy day."

The leader laughed: "Hey, Xiao Chen has learned how to flatter people, not bad."

Chen Lidong quickly followed up: "Boss, I speak from my heart. Compared with the last rare earth conference, your hair is obviously much grayer."

The leader said: "Let's not talk about this. I heard that you were raising money everywhere and even sold the shares of several factories in Donghua. I have read the report. You want to transfer the money to Dongzhu for investment, right?"

Chen Lidong nodded: "Yes. After analysis by Donghua Investment Company, it is predicted that there will be a story shock in the second half of the year. I want to try it. Maybe I can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."

The leader looked at the information in his hand and said, "That time in 1998, you were long on the stock index. What are you going to do this time?"

Chen Lidong hesitated for a moment and then said: "I am going to invest in gold futures and maybe do short-term operations in the Nasdaq stock market."

The leader lowered his face and said: "The amount is too high. The funds transferred by your company alone are close to more than 10 billion. This is a gamble."

Chen Lidong explained: "Half of the 10 billion is Anmei Sen's equipment, and the other part..."

The leader interrupted Chen Lidong: "No need to explain, I believe you are not evacuating funds.

But I'm worried about whether this will affect your future investments in the country. There are several projects in Garmu, Panshan, and Longdao, as well as the oil and gas pipelines in the Northeast. I guess you are also working on them.

If you can't get the money back, you will be embarrassed, and I, as the person in charge of finance, can't escape my involvement."

Chen Lidong raised his head, looked at the leader with stern eyes and said: "Leader, you should trust my judgment. I have played this game not once or twice, and I have never failed.

Besides, I will never let go of the rabbit before I see it, and I will never waste my own money."

The leader was afraid and slapped the documents: "Okay, don't brag to me. This time, you still have funds abroad to go to the card table. I'm worried that if you go to the table, there will be predators sitting on the opposite side."

This time is no different than back then. You were a shrimp then, but now you are considered a fish. Someone is definitely watching you.

They like big fish to eat small fish. Capital of your size is exactly the target of their hunting.

So, I am really worried about you."

Chen Lidong had no choice but to speak harshly again: "Leader, I won't be stupid. The people at the card table will be divided into dozens of accounts for operations. The futures and stock markets will be operated separately, both long-term and short-term. They will not be allowed to discover the rules and be fooled."

It’s unlikely that anyone will target you.”

The leader said: "Okay, I agree to transfer your money, but Yu'ebao's billions involve hundreds of thousands of ordinary depositors of your Longxing Bank. What if it fails?"

Chen Lidong whispered: "Leader, I have another purpose this time, which is to take the lead on how domestic funds can participate in the international capital market.

I have also read Professor Li’s article recently. I really don’t like the way some capital is cutting domestic leeks. The real skill is to lead people to enjoy the world abroad.”

The leader said: "So, can you do it?"

Chen Lidong nodded and said, "Well, I'm really good at it."

The leader burst into laughter and then signed his name on the report.
