Chapter 1507 (1/2)

In the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai took Kristi, Dulles and a group of more than a dozen people to the Chinese resources department.

The trade involved hundreds of billions of US dollars in huge funds, and the government attached great importance to it. Not only did Wang Qihong, Minister of Finance and Liao Shengzhi, Minister of resources, attended the meeting, but also alerted Zhao Yunkun, a vice national leader.

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with Zhao Yunkun and said with a wry smile, ”chief, are you a bit of a showman. It's just a business. There's no need for it. ”

In China, leaders at or above the Deputy state level are generally called leaders.

Zhao Yunkun said with a smile: ”because of the great development of the western region, the financial department of our government is about to run out of rice and is waiting for you, a big financial man, to help. If it wasn't for your uncle to avoid suspicion, he couldn't help coming in person. ”

Xiao Yunhai was surprised and said, ”is the government really short of money?”

Zhao Yunkun said solemnly: ”otherwise, how can we possibly open this opening. So when you negotiate later, you should be merciful. ”

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, ”don't say that. I'm just making some small money. All the big money has been cut off by Huaxia oil company. ”

Zhao yunkunbai jokingly said: ”it's not you who show mercy, just give them so much benefit.”

Liao Shengzhi said: ”chief, Mr. Xiao, let's start to sit down first. CCTV reporters have arrived. ”

Xiao Yunhai one Leng, way: ”still want on news broadcast?”

Zhao Yunkun said with a smile: ”of course. This is the biggest investment in the great development of the western region. We should set you as a model to attract other businessmen. Sit down, Mr. Xiao. Let's start now. ”

The crowd was divided into two rows, each seated.

Liao Shengzhi took the lead and said, ”Mr. Xiao, I believe you should have heard that after the consistent exploration by Huaxia oil company and your Yunqing oil and gas company, the total oil reserves of Tahe oilfield have reached 12 billion barrels and the natural gas reserves have reached 420 billion cubic meters. According to the previous agreement, you will pay us 30% of the international price of crude oil and natural gas, right? ”

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, ”that's right.”

Liao Shengzhi said with a smile, ”that's OK. Now we just need to work out the total price and we can sign the contract. ”

Xiao Yunhai took a look at Kristi. Kristi understood and said in fluent Chinese, ”minister Liao, things are not simple. It's true that we both agree that there is no problem with oil and gas reserves, but how much can be produced is still unknown. If we calculate it according to 12 billion barrels of crude oil and 420 billion cubic meters of natural gas, if we can't exploit it because of technical problems, we will lose a lot. ”

Liao Shengzhi frowned and asked, ”how do you think you can calculate it? After all, none of us can predict the future. Reserves could be more than that. ”

”So it's not appropriate to calculate with an uncertain reserve,” Kristi said. We conservatively estimate that the Tahe oilfield has produced 7 billion barrels of crude oil and 300 billion cubic meters of natural gas. We can pay 30% of your funds according to the reserves. If we find more than these in the future, we will divide them into 7:3 prices. What do you think of our proposal? ”

Liao Shengzhi did not speak. Wang Qihong, Minister of finance, said, ”absolutely not. Ms. Kristi, in the final analysis, the reason why Huaxia opened this opening is to raise funds and speed up the development strategy of the western region. Mr. Xiao is very clear about this. Your proposal runs counter to the purpose of the government, and we will never accept it. ”

Christie said, ”Minister Wang, you mean that you must be paid according to the proven reserves. What if we can't exploit so much in the future? ”

Wang Qihong thought for a moment and said, ”it's very simple. The Chinese government will compensate you. It will take at least ten or even fifteen years for such a large oilfield to be fully exploited. By that time, the West should have become rich. Our finance department is fully capable of compensating you for your losses. ”

Xiao Yunhai tried to save cash and invest in other aspects, while the government tried to increase cash flow for the construction of the western region. Everyone wants to put the money behind to pay, in order to ease the huge financial pressure.
