The content of the memorandum between Dahua Industry and Kazakhstan was carefully designed by Dahua Industry and finally completed the negotiation.

50% of the shares in the oil pipeline, 50% of the management rights of the pipeline, and the right to expand in the future, these are almost the bottom line of Kazakhstan.If it hadn't been for the important issue of moving the capital to be seized by Sioux City, Nazarbayev's minimum condition would be 51% for the Kazakh side and 49% for the Chinese side.

Although the difference is only a percentage, the power structure is very different. The 51% equity party has all the power and can make various decisions about the oil pipeline without consulting with the other party, while the 49% equity party almost only has the right to pay dividends.

Generally speaking, 49% of the dividend right is actually enough for oil importing countries. Their requirement is to get oil. What a difference.Even a country like Japan that has bought a lot of oil fields, they don't care which region's oil is loaded in the oil pipelines and tankers.

50% stake or 49% stake, it really affects oil importing companies and oil exporting countries.Oil exporting countries should give priority to the allocation of their own resources. In places like the Middle East, where an oil pipeline runs through several countries, it is very important to know whose oil is sold first, and whose oil is sold later. In the era of increasingly violent oil fluctuations Here, such power will greatly affect the profits of oil exporting countries.Similarly, it will also affect the profits of oil importing companies.

In terms of oil pipeline business, Dahua Industrial is a standard oil import company.In contrast, Kazakhstan is an oil exporting country, and they all need control of oil pipelines.In the end, when it came to 50% each, it was Nazarbayev's biggest concession.Even so, the private agreement between him and Sioux City is to ensure the completion of the construction of the relocation of the capital before proceeding with the signing of the oil pipeline agreement.

The China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline is stuck at 50%, and the agreement on the share ratio of the Anda-Dalian line becomes difficult.

Daqing Oilfield originally didn't care much about the shareholding ratio.The most important mission of the Anda-Dalian line is to ensure the import of 1000 million or 2000 million tons of oil per year. It does not matter which oil field in Russia the oil comes from.

Therefore, if there is no persecution from Sioux City, Zhang Changting may sign an agreement with Yukos 51% and Daqing 49%.At that time, he only needs to explain that Russia is strong-willed, and we have no need for this, and the matter can be cleared from himself.As for the joint team formed by CNPC, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other departments, it has nothing to do with him what the specific outcome can be negotiated.

However, 49% may indeed be able to meet the basic needs of China, but it cannot be said that 49% is a reasonable share standard.

In the future, China may have to spend more political and economic resources to make up for this 1% deficiency.

For example, China's offshore oil transportation channels are affected, and the Chinese side requires the oil pipeline to increase the transportation volume, but because of the lack of this 1% stake, the other party will sit on the ground and raise the price.By the same token, if China obtains oil from other countries, it may not be able to pass through this oil pipeline shared by both parties, and thus it will cost more money.It will be even more troublesome if you encounter a period of energy shortage.The contract is usually a one-year supply. As for how many tons are supplied in a few months, it is often elastic. These elasticities all mean a lot of money, and will therefore derive a lot of power.

Right now, as long as Zhang Changting signs less than 50% of the shares, even if it is 49% of the shares, the conditions are obviously worse than those of Dahua Industrial.Therefore, signing a 50% share agreement is the minimum requirement, and such a requirement is almost unacceptable to Russia.

The normal negotiation plan should be to grind slowly.It is not surprising to grind for two or three months, two or three years, or even eight or ten years.When the world energy market changes, when the world economy changes, or when a strange leader appears on the other side... such as Gorbachev, any agreement can be easily resolved.

However, at the instigation of Su Cheng and the request of Mr. Zhou, Zhang Changting lost the buffer period.

He thought and thought, but in the end he could only write down the plan for 50% equity, 50% management rights and expansion rights.

Zhang Changting folded the paper, pushed it to Mr. Zhou, and said: Russia is much tougher than Kazakhstan.

After finishing speaking, he gave Su Cheng a hard look.

Russia is indeed tougher than Kazakhstan.The latter is still in a state of poverty, eager to exchange black gold for gold, but because it is a mainland country, there is no coastal port, and it is impossible to export directly.Russia has been in the oil business for a long time. Although it is not rich, it can always survive.

It's a pity that Zhang Changting was unable to reflect Russia's difficulties on paper. The difference between 50% and 49% is too great. He cannot lower his requirements so much just because Russia is a little more difficult to deal with.

But the 50% he was forced to put on paper didn't make him happy either.

Mr. Zhou put on his presbyopic glasses, looked at Zhang Changting's plan carefully, and then approved: "Yes.

Zhang Changting smiled again.

Zhou Lao closed the piece of paper, pressed it with a teacup, and returned to the state of closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Su Cheng coughed, restarted the topic, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what you wrote on the paper should be the bottom line of the An-Da Line?"

"That's right." After the things were handed over, Zhang Changting felt a little lonely.

"If that's the case, then it's up to Mr. Zhang." Su Cheng looked up at Mr. Zhou, and said, "If it proves that the Petroleum Corporation cannot sign the oil pipeline contract under this condition, I will ask the China-Kazakhstan line to be built first and approved first. "

Mr. Zhou and Su Cheng have a tacit understanding. Although they haven't had sufficient communication, they still have a very good impression of Dahua Industrial.He recalled the conditions on the paper, and then asked Zhang Changting, "Can you accept what Su Cheng said?"

At this point, turning back on promises would only add to the jokes. Zhang Changting simply nodded and said, "Yes. But if we can sign the oil pipeline contract on this condition, I ask that the construction of the Anta Line be prioritized and the approval of the China-Kazakhstan line be suspended."

This time, Elder Zhou didn't ask Su Cheng's opinion again, and said directly: "That's how it is."

As he spoke, he handed over the paper with the conditions to the general manager of the Petroleum Corporation.

The latter unfolded it and looked at it twice, then put it down without saying a word.

Su Cheng was calm on the surface, but actually looked at several people nervously.It is impossible for him to invite Mr. Zhou to set up this bureau together, so he has no way of knowing what the conditions Zhang Changting wrote down are.To put it bluntly, it was just the expressions and movements of a few people.

If... If Zhang Changting got through the old Zhou's network and came to a low-demand condition, then he would fall into his trap instead...

Although it was unlikely, this kind of worry gripped Su Cheng's heart.

Su Cheng took a deep breath quietly to calm down, and at the same time laughed at himself secretly: what level is Zhang Changting, and what level is Mr. Zhou? Just shoot Dahua Industrial to death, and there will be no trouble.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng's expression became relieved.

In fact, if the amount of money involved was not too large and the oil pipeline was too important, Sioux City would not worry about gain or loss.Just like the domestic household gas market, Dahua Industrial occupies 6% of the market share. If you gain a city today, you will lose a district or county tomorrow. Even if the business is tens of millions, it is not in the eyes of Sioux City.To him, it is just a number on the report, supporting Dahua Petrochemical in Haicang, or a tool of Dahua Shipbuilding.

Zhou Feng gave Su Cheng a thumbs up from below.Anyone who is a Chinese knows the strength of the monopoly department. Seeing Su Cheng force Zhang Changting to the corner, he is also full of admiration.

At this time, the general manager of the Petroleum Corporation, who presided over the meeting, put up a big face, and whispered to Zhou Lao: "It's getting late, look, do you want to have some food first?"

Indeed, speaking of this, it seems that it should be over.

Elder Zhou kindly agreed, and said: "Don't be extravagant, four dishes and one soup, one glass of wine per person."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." The general manager was overjoyed, Mr. Zhou didn't eat out easily.

He threw out a gesture, and the meeting room was still laughing, but the outside was busy.

It is not difficult to prepare a table of banquets, but the difficult thing is to prepare a table with four dishes and one soup, and make the leaders smile.The era of putting dozens of dishes in four sea basins has passed, and now the emphasis is on elegance and delicacy.For example, Huaiyang Cuisine No.40, which has been extended by a high salary and has been inherited for eight generations, is very elegant, and the bok choy, which is stewed with 48 kinds of ingredients such as abalone, sea cucumber, and old hen, is very delicate.Such an elegant and delicate four dishes and one soup, even if the government department is good at this skill, it will not work without some preparation.

Su Cheng was also invited, and followed with a smile.Today's matter is still early to end, as long as Mr. Zhou doesn't withdraw, he has to follow.

In this room, everyone tastes elegant and delicate dishes, but a small vortex is brewing in Moscow, which is jet-lagged.

In front of the parliament building, a group of liberal Russian journalists, imitating Western journalists, chased and blocked the congressmen who had just adjourned.They shoved the microphones to the mouths of the MPs, and in tones of cheering "Long live Lenin," they asked:

"What do you think of nuclear weapons reduction programs?"

"Has the time for the foreign minister's visit to Europe been fixed?"

"When will the new international trade law be introduced? What do you think is the goal of Russia-US trade?"

A congressman who was struggling to escape stopped when he heard about the issue of international trade. Facing the excited eyes of more than a dozen media, he smiled and said: "I think the first prerequisite for discussing international trade law is to re-examine Russia's oil production. Out...our government controls the oil trade too loosely, and I even heard that some companies try to sell our country's oil assets at a low price by laying oil pipelines..."
