Resource Tycoon Reborn

After staying in Fengyuan for three days, Belevsky and his son visited Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, Qinxi Steel Group Company and Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd., and then took the special plane provided by Fang Mingyuan and returned to Moscow. After arriving in Moscow

After arriving at the international airport, Belevsky and his son were taken directly to the Kremlin by a motorcade that had been waiting there, where the Russian President was waiting for his return.

"It seems that you have achieved good results on this trip to China!" Seeing Belevsky walking into the office,.

"Your Excellency, this time we have achieved some results." Belevsky also smiled and said, "It's not a waste of time. Fang, let me say hello to you on his behalf."

The president showed a knowing smile. There are some things that you and I know and God knows. There is no need to say them out loud. This made him feel relieved - with sufficient financial support and publicity

, it seems that it should not be a big problem to achieve re-election for his second term.

The two sat down separately, and the president asked with a smile: "Fang, are you satisfied with the gift you brought? Do you have any thoughts that you would like to share with me?" He still had a very good impression of Fang Mingyuan. Although,

The share of Fang's capital in the Russian economy is constantly expanding, but this has strongly supported the recovery of the Russian economy. Without the entry of Fang's capital, Russia's economic situation might be even worse today. And the most disturbing thing is that

He was satisfied that Fang Capital was very interested in making money in Russia, but never gave any advice to the Russian government when their interests were not involved. This was compared to companies and banks in Western countries.

, which naturally makes the Russians very satisfied.

Moreover, the Fang family has also played a considerable role in promoting trade between Russia and China. Carrefour Group already has branches in major cities in Russia. Although the total store size is still small compared to that in China.

There is an obvious gap, but it has become the country with the largest number of Carrefour Group stores overseas, and Carrefour supermarkets have also become a safe channel for Russians to buy Chinese products. It is China's large number of light industrial products that are continuously imported into Russia, which suppresses Russia.

Prices were rising rapidly. Although the Chinese people also made huge profits from it, the Russians had to admit that without China's imported goods, their lives would be even more difficult.

"Fang is very interested in Gazprom's shares. But I think if the shares are too small to give him enough say on the board of directors, he will not accept a puppet-like status.

"The old Belevsky said bluntly, "Moreover, for the price settlement of natural gas, he rejected the pricing policy linked to oil prices." The pricing policy of natural gas linked to oil prices is common among Gazprom's natural gas exports to Europe.

The pricing method adopted is to link the natural gas price adjustment to the market price of diesel, high-sulfur and low-sulfur heavy fuel oil based on percentages, and then adjust the price according to the "transmission factors" to share risks.

The president couldn't help but frowned. This pricing method is also the main pricing method for Gazprom's foreign exports. European countries generally accept this pricing method.

"Then what he means is..." The president thought for a while and then said, "Want to adopt the pricing method of natural gas imported from Japan?" After all, the President is not a professional. He only has a general understanding of the pricing of natural gas in the international market.

Several ways.

"Fang also does not want to adopt the pricing method linked to the weighted average price of imported crude oil from Japan. He believes that it is impossible to adopt the same price standard for natural gas and liquefied natural gas transported by pipelines." Belevsky shook his head.

"Then how does he want to set the price?" The President was also scratching his head.

"What Fang means is that it may cost billions or even tens of billions of dollars to lay a natural gas pipeline to China. Even if we are not responsible for the domestic part in China, we will be responsible for the share in Mongolia, and Russia will be responsible for the part.

Does Gazprom have enough funds?" Belevsky said.

The president's eyes immediately lit up again. There was something in Fang Mingyuan's words. He couldn't help but remember that when the China-Russia oil transportation pipeline was built, the Fang family advanced funds for the construction, and then Russia exported oil to repay the debt. At that time, the Fang family

That sum of money has really relieved Russia’s financial crisis.

"Although Gazprom has abundant liquidity, the investment required to develop domestic oil and gas fields is also very large. If Russia can provide sufficient funds... of course it would be great," the president said.

.Russia’s current economic situation is not good, and there are many places in the country that need funds. If the construction funds for natural gas pipelines can be solved at the same time, that would be a better result.

“What Fang means is that they can provide funds to build natural gas transportation pipelines, but we need to repay this debt with natural gas exported in the future. The price of natural gas is based on the purchase price of natural gas in Belarus, which can be increased by 10%.

Five." Belevsky said.

"What?" the president said in shock. He simply wondered if he had heard wrongly. It was not that the price proposed by Fan Mingyuan was high, but that the price was far lower than he expected. Belarus is a country where Gazprom exports

China is the country that enjoys the lowest price! It is more than half the price of natural gas purchased by European countries. There are many reasons why Belarus can get such cheap natural gas. Fang Mingyuan actually asked China to purchase natural gas at the price of Belarus.

That was really too harsh a blow.

“You heard it right, compared with the purchase price of natural gas in Belarus, it can be increased by 5%!” Belevsky repeated, “Fang believes that considering the one-time investment in building a natural gas transportation pipeline, and China’s current

The demand for natural gas in China is not very large. If the cost cannot be suppressed, the imported natural gas will suffer serious losses based on China’s domestic sales price. Your Excellency, Mr. President, what Fang said is indeed the truth. China’s domestic natural gas price is due to the government’s lack of

Without liberalization, excessively high import prices coupled with pipeline transportation costs and other expenses will result in greater losses as more imports are made. I will give you the detailed information later."

The president was silent. This is indeed a dilemma. From the perspective of Gazprom, it naturally does not want such a result, which means that their export profits will be greatly reduced. From Fang Mingyuan's perspective,

, naturally it is impossible to accept the result that the more imports, the greater the losses. Private enterprises do not have the national treasury to protect them.

"Your Excellency, I personally think that this price requirement is still acceptable." Belevsky said, "First, we can save the cost of laying domestic natural gas transportation pipelines and invest our urgently needed funds into more urgent needs.

secondly, we can get rid of the debt of 4 billion US dollars that is about to expire. If we cannot lay this transportation pipeline, it is hard to say how enthusiastic Fang will be about Gazprom’s shares.

, and it is difficult for us to apply for new loans; thirdly, at this price, we actually still have a good profit, but compared with Europe, it is far behind. But considering that Europe’s demand for natural gas has reached

At the top, if there are no new technologies emerging, there will be no big climb, and we need to have bigger and more export markets to ensure that we have enough foreign exchange earnings!"

The president nodded. What Belevsky said was true. The weak Russian economy can only rely on exporting resources and arms to earn the precious foreign exchange it needs. Just think about Russia's poor foreign exchange reserves.

There is also that huge debt. Your Excellency the President feels like his head is spinning twice! God only knows when another economic crisis will break out. If Russia cannot increase Russia’s foreign exchange reserves and reduce debt in time, Russia will definitely become miserable again.

The unlucky guy.

"Fourth, it is better for us to negotiate with the Fang family than with the Chinese government. If we cannot reach an agreement with the Fang family, then we will have to deal with China's state-owned oil companies, which will definitely be a disaster.

It’s a marathon negotiation, and as long as we reach an agreement with the Fang family, I think the project will start soon, and I think the Chinese government will be more receptive to this result. This project is very important for boosting our country’s current economy.

, will also play an important role; fifthly, Fang agreed that at this price he only requires that the gas be officially supplied to China for ten years, or that after we have repaid all the loans and due interest, the two parties can renegotiate the new price.

price settlement formula," Belevsky continued.

The president's eyebrows widened. The settlement method proposed by Fang Mingyuan is not permanent and can be adjusted in the future, so it will be easier for him to accept it psychologically. Under normal circumstances, a natural gas transportation pipeline can be used normally for fifty years.

By 2016, there is still plenty of time for Gazprom to make profits from China. Although it is a bit like the predecessors planting trees so that future generations can enjoy the shade, it can also be explained to the Chinese people.

However...if he knew that in the future, the price of crude oil in the international market would be close to 150 US dollars per barrel, he would never think so! (To be continued, please search for Piao Tian Literature and Novels.
