10 billion U.S. dollars to buy the Soviet Union’s largest and most productive Samoterol oil field, this is nothing short of a pie in the sky! But why does the Soviet government want to sell the Samoterol oil field in such a hurry? What's the secret behind it? Sergei must make a decision after all inquiries.

So Seryosha asked Chernomyrdin the question in his mind, why the Samotellol oil field will decline so severely. It stands to reason that such a large oil field is enough to rank in the top ten in the world, and it will not lose at all. To Saudi Arabia’s Gawar oil field. But now it hasn't even arrived for thirty years, and it has become an abandoned son of the Soviet government. What has happened in the past 30 years? Is the estimated production wrong that year, and local officials have exaggerated the reserves of the oil field?

"Seriosa, there is no problem with the reserves of the Samotrol oil field. There is still a large amount of oil stored underground waiting to be exploited. The oil we have obtained is less than one percent of the reserves of the entire Samotrol oil field. The decline in production is entirely due to man-made reasons. In the Brezhnev era, we used unscientific mining methods in order to pursue production and obtain more oil exports to earn foreign exchange. Because too much groundwater was injected, it destroyed the country. The original geological structure of the Motelol oil field has caused the formation to rupture, and the injected water preferentially enters the rock crevices underground. The water content of the oil field has increased, and the oil production has dropped sharply. The 14 oil wells that are now in production have hit a hundred. Eighty percent of it is groundwater, which basically ruined this great oil field.” Chernomyrdin said to Sergei without reservation that the Soviet government would not be right about this matter. The common people announced that because the Samoterol oil field is an important source of finances for the country, its output has an important influence on society, and it is related to people's confidence in the future of the Soviet Union's reforms.

Hearing Chernomyrdin’s words, Sergey Sha also retreated in his heart, but after all, this is the seventh largest oil field in the world, and the oil quality of the Samotrol oil field is surprisingly good. , Not only is the sulfur content extremely low, but also shallowly buried. Such high-quality oil fields are rare in the world, and most of them are concentrated in the hands of governments. If the Soviet government is willing to sell the Samoterol oil field to foreign companies , Then Glencore can definitely rank among the top ten oil companies in the world in terms of reserves.

"Victor (Chernomerkin's name), has this news been made public?" Sergei asked anxiously.

"Not yet, but I have already reported this to General Secretary Gorbachev and Secretary Ligachev. They agreed that the Samoterol oil field has lost the value of continued exploitation and it is better to sell it to foreign capital. To get more funds for the exploitation of Baku and the second Baku (Volga-Ural oil and gas area)." Chernomyrdin replied.

"Victor, you can see if this is the case. Anyway, it's only 10 billion U.S. dollars. I think I still have some connections in Europe. Maybe I can find you such a fool. So don't open bidding for this matter. That's it!" Xie Liosa asked.

"Xie Liaosha, I'm afraid it's not very good to do this. Ten billion is just our starting price. You have to know that if it is auctioned, the Samotrol oil field can make more than this number..."

"But other foreign companies will know that the Samotrol oil field is actually a loser as soon as the goods are inspected. Not only will the goodwill of our country be destroyed, but the other party is likely to refuse to pay. In this case, I think Samo The Troll oil field will not even be able to sell 10 billion in the future. I will find you a company to take over the offer, and I promise to pay in cash, and the ten billion cents will reach the government's account!" Kim said.

"Okay, but you have to tell me which company will take over the Samotrol oil field?" Chernomyrdin asked curiously.

"It is the largest trading partner of our Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation-Glencore Group" Xie Liaosha told the truth.

"Xie Liaosha, I don’t hold a position on the choice of foreign oil companies, but this matter was registered in the Politburo after all. The necessary procedures are still required, so it’s affirmative to open it to the public, but we can do it in specific operations. Set up some obstacles. For example, foreign investors participating in the bidding must have a good trade relationship with the Soviet government. For example, they must pay a security deposit of 7 billion U.S. dollars before the auction. For example, we cannot dismiss our workers for any reason. I think they can meet these standards. There should be few companies..." Chernomyrdin said nothing. Although he did not directly agree to Seresha’s request, he has revealed enough ways to shut out other powerful oil companies. Not to mention, the good trade relationship with the Soviet Union can shut out clean-up competitors like Mobil and British Petroleum. Moreover, Chernomyrdin’s words have a strong suggestive effect. They are basically telling Seryosha about the conditions of the tender. In this way, Glencore can have more time for targeted preparations. Up.

Sergey Shah and Chernomyrdin shook hands, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent. Xie Liaosha has actually decided in her heart that no matter what the status quo of the Samoterol oil field is ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, she must include it in her bag. After all, 50 years of mining rights can have enough time to change Samoterol. The current state of the oil field.

When Seryosha finished his conversation with Chernomyrdin, he had always planned this in his mind on the way back. Now that the Soviet Union has opened its door to foreign businessmen, the whole world is still on the sidelines. Only a few companies dare to come to the Soviet Union to open up markets. But Sergei knew that Soviet reforms were real. For a long time, Glencore has never been involved in the upstream field of oil exploration and exploitation. Glencore's strength lies in the spot oil market, but the spot oil market is not stable and is usually concentrated in industries where trade is sanctioned. The international political situation is so complicated. The two countries that are still fighting today may be reconciled tomorrow. But this was a fatal blow to Glencore, which relied on wars and embargoes to make money.

After Sergey returned to the office, he contacted Mark Rich to discuss the matter. Mark Rich was extremely excited when he heard the news. He immediately arranged for his deputy Green to go to Moscow as soon as possible to participate in Zamotello. The bidding work of Er Oilfield. When Sergei was talking with Mark Rich, he unexpectedly got bad news that a Suez-class freighter carrying Iranian oil by Mediterranean Shipping was sunk by the Iraqi Air Force in the Red Sea. This cargo ship was originally going to South Africa, but because of the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq targeted all tankers carrying Iranian oil. In this way, Mediterranean Shipping has become a scapegoat for Iran.
