The preliminary quotation given by Hua Offshore Oil only promised that "after the exploration is completed, we will tell you whether there is oil within the depth of 1,200 meters in the territorial waters east of Lanzhou. If we misjudge, we will bear the liability for breach of contract."
That’s why the asking price for this exploration is lower than that of its peers. Even when a share-sharing system is adopted, the percentage is correspondingly lower. (Shell’s 25% exploration share contract generally promises a depth of more than 2,000 meters or even 3,000 meters. During exploration, it is experimental
The cost of drilling a well will also double)
After Gu Kun got the quotation, he did some calculations: "50,000 RMB per square nautical mile? When I originally sold the seabed terrain data, it seemed that the topography of 50 times 50 nautical miles only sold for 2 million RMB. If their price is enlarged,
Wouldn’t it cost 120 million yuan to reach the 50×50 territorial waters?
Gee, oil exploration is expensive. It’s 60 times more expensive than my business of roughly scanning the terrain. When I explored and sold out all the seabed terrain for hundreds of miles around Lanfang, the accumulated money I earned was even worse than
What about the oil exploration fees in this small area of eastern Lanfang’s territorial waters? Fortunately, compared with finding the oil, it’s only a small amount of money.”
There is no way, why does Gu Kun's business have low technical content? He only needs to be responsible for the superficial survey of Haiti, while others have to guarantee it to a depth of 1,200 meters.
Fortunately, Gu Kun remembered in his previous life that the oil field in Lanfang was about as shallow as Brunei, only a few hundred meters deep. Huahai Oil had discovered enough according to the minimum standard of 1,200 meters of exploration.
So he quietly made a fortune by choosing the speed of light to sign an exploration fee contract with CNOOC, and even couldn't wait to pay the full amount of the exploration fee as soon as he signed the contract——
All this is because I am afraid that a few months later, the other party will have no excuse to break the contract or change the contract, and it will also make the other party feel better.
…
Tang Jia helped Gu Kun handle the details of the exploration cooperation negotiations.
He himself only showed up during the final signing and payment. It was also on this day that he met the business representative sent by Hua Hai Oil for the first time.
It was a day in late April. At the land and resources department in Lanfang, Gu Kun personally took the time to attend relevant activities.
For its part, CNOOC attaches great importance to this cooperation and sent a general manager of its subsidiary "CNOOC Overseas Oil and Gas Company" to sign the contract.
After all, CNOOC is nominally the same giant as China Petroleum and Petrochemical, and is also known as the "three barrels of oil." Its scale and turnover are definitely a level higher than that of COSCO. Therefore, a project of this size in Lanfang is still
We won’t let the big leaders of the head office personally intervene.
Having a general manager of a subsidiary in charge of overseas business is already very impressive.
The general manager’s surname was Yang, so I won’t mention his name. After the two parties signed, Gu Kun directly handed over a check in person, with both hands.
Mr. Yang took the check with both hands, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked the finance department to put it away:
"It's a pleasure to work with him. Gu Sheng is such a refreshing person. No wonder he has risen so quickly in Lanfang in just a few years. I have been with CNOOC for 16 years and have met several overseas customers. This is the first time I have seen a newly signed contract."
I didn’t even check it out yet, so I just wired the full amount.”
"I heard that you are friends of Mr. Ye and Manager He, so of course I have to be happy to give money. A friend of a friend is my friend, and I never default on money owed to my friends."
Gu Kun's words were very beautiful. People who have never been in contact with him might actually be deceived by this confusing behavior and think that he is some kind of righteous person like Mr. Guan.
Mr. Yang was really moved when he heard this.
The amount on the check is 1.5 billion yuan.
Because according to the exploration area boundaries demarcated by both parties, the navigation distance between the entire island chain coast on the eastern edge of the Lanfang Islands, all the way to Sibu and Balingian in Sarawak, Malaysia is 140 nautical miles. According to the two countries’ equal sharing of exclusive economic zones,
country
According to international practice, the exploration area belonging to the Lan side has a maximum width of 70 nautical miles from east to west. (The area around Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, is located in a sunken bay, so the eastern territorial sea border of Lan side can be connected with the
The western side of the bay bisects)
In the north-south direction, the exploration depth is smaller, because Lanfang is located in the north of Sematan, a suburb of Kuching. The closest position to the coast in the south is only 40 nautical miles. If the two sides are divided in half, the width is only 20 nautical miles. It will gradually increase from west to east.
Slightly wider.
To the north, there are Indonesians stuck in the Natuna Islands, and the Indonesian people will not encounter Natuna, so it is very low-key.
All in all, the sea area that Gu Kun wants to explore is about more than 2,000 square nautical miles. Including miscellaneous expenses, the total exploration contract quotation exceeds 1.5 billion.
Gu Kun gave the money first and then did the work without blinking an eye. Where in the world could he find such a good party?
"I haven't mentioned it yet. When the time comes to brag for the Lanfang people in the exploration report, let's cooperate. Mr. Ye from COSCO is also an old friend. The die-hard friend he introduced must give him face no matter what." Mr. Yang said in his heart.
Think so.
As for the chief engineer and deputy chief engineer he brought, let alone that. In the field of oil exploration, it is very common to say a little ambiguous words, so as not to lose the reputation of technicians.
Besides, they have all worked in Huahai Oilfield all their lives, and there is no problem of job-hopping. When the leader feels comfortable, it is the greatest recognition.
After intense and hasty preparations, the formal exploration work began in full swing at the end of that month.
Party A has paid in full, and if the progress of the project is further delayed, it will be a loss of face.
Oil exploration cannot be solved overnight.
Gu Kun just took advantage of the opportunity of confrontation with Soros and took advantage of this critical moment of turmoil in Southeast Asia to take a big step forward in many things that were originally inconvenient to implement.
It will take at least two months to discover oil. (Even if no oil is discovered after two months, he will be given the report he wants first)
As for the valuable sunken ship that Gu Kun had fished in Indonesian territorial waters despite the Indonesian protests, it also took a month or two to build momentum, and Fan Piersson speculated it in the Netherlands and sold it at a good price. Even if it caused an international shipwreck,
It will take more time to respond to the salvage industry's attention and further covet.
Anyway, as long as Gu Kun ensures that all these funds will be in place before the end of the battle with Soros by the end of June, these good news will be released in time and with certainty, inspiring the confidence of the general public.
At the moment, he should withdraw his attention and refocus on the real-time close combat situation with Soros.
…
Sell the sunken ship, sign the oil exploration contract, settle the relationship between the parties, and ensure the implementation of the exploration.
After doing all this, Gu Kun almost spent the rest of April.
It was already early May when he packed up everything and returned to Xiangjiang to take charge.
During the more than twenty days that Gu Kun was away, Liang Jinsong steadily advanced the trading work according to his own acumen and combined with the general policy given by Gu Kun when he left, and everything went smoothly.
After Gu Kun came back, he listened to his report immediately.
"There haven't been any surprises in the past two or three weeks since I've been away. Please tell me the market progress in detail."
Liang Jinsong: "Everything went smoothly. When you left, the market was at 10,800 points, and then the national team's protective funds gradually withdrew - the so-called withdrawal means that the fund-raising efforts were slowed down. However,
The funds they have entered the market have not been withdrawn or shipped. You can rest assured on this, they also understand the rules."
The funds of the national team, after protecting the market, are basically locked in that position. If such a huge amount of funds are to be realized, the stock market will definitely collapse again, so they will not withdraw it, and they will not if the stock price rises.
They will sell in large quantities at will. At most, some individual stocks are enthusiastic and push too hard, so the national team will half push and cash out a little.
So this money is like a ballast stone buried at the bottom, building a foundation.
Liang Jinsong paused and continued: "In the first week, the bulls are still driven by inertia and continue to rise. I will also continue to use our own funds to speed up the opening of positions - anyway, the cost of opening positions will be higher the later, so it is not as good as
During the initial period after the national team withdrew, I quickly increased my position.
In the trading week ending April 17th, the market rose an average of 200 points every day, and successfully recovered 12,000 points on the 17th. In other words, when Soros came to Hong Kong this time, he had completely lost nothing and made no profit.
Every time the Hang Seng Index rises a little from now on, Soros will suffer a net loss."
If it rises to more than 14,000 and close to 15,000, Soros will be able to spit out all the money he made from the crisis in other Southeast Asian countries.
If it rises to more than 16,000 points, Soros will lose all the original principal he earned in the years before 1997!
In the historical market protection, the Hong Kong stock market did not reach 12,000 points in the end, so Soros was able to escape with all the ill-gotten gains he had made from other Southeast Asian countries (at most, he was slightly disabled).
But first of all, since there is a new disturbing factor like Gu Kun, of course we cannot let the other party leave just as he wants.
"What time is it now?" Gu Kun hadn't paid much attention recently and couldn't help but interrupt and ask directly for the key points.
Liang Jinsong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the boss just wanted to hear such rough data, so he quickly said:
"It is now 12,900 points. I feel ashamed because we consumed funds too quickly before April 17. I also want to allocate evenly to ensure that we can last until the end of June. So in the next 10 trading days, we only raised a total of 900 points.
Mainly because we gave Xiaosan confidence before, allowing them to temporarily regard the news that "the protective team has withdrawn" as false news. Many people think that the national protective behavior is still continuing. I want to use our remaining main funds
, we will wait until June to increase the price, and we can try not to increase the position for more than a month in the middle."
Gu Kun did a mental calculation and nodded slightly: "That is to temporarily force Soros to spit out half of the money he scraped in Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia. We have to keep up our efforts. By the way, tell me, have you had any problems recently?
He is a representative negative figure of grass. Because of greed, he sings empty words along with Soros.
I will think of a way to get rid of a few lackeys who have the same heart as Soros in the future, and use their swords to establish their power, so that Xiao San will know whose surname the financial market in Southeast Asia is."
Liang Jinsong frowned and thought, and said hesitantly: "Yes, there are. At any time, there is no shortage of rich people who want to lick blood. I wonder if you remember that there was someone who followed you and Soros to bet against the Thai baht last year.
A celebrity in the local investment community named Kong Shangzhong is a luxury tycoon.
After he made money last year, because he listened to you and sold too early, he secretly slandered you several times in the circle, saying that you were hypocritical and wanted to follow Soros's position. This time, the other tycoons in the protective team are all out.
When it comes to making money, he just hopes to make money by going short, just like Soros. Now he also has some floating losses, and he is in a hurry. He is jumping up and down to find external funds to do short selling together, and he thinks about pulling money every day."
"Haha... You followed my lead last year and didn't maximize your profits. So you're going to throw a rope this year? This beast deserves to die. What's the difference between this and betting on the sun in 1945?" Gu Kun couldn't help but laugh.
