Resource Tycoon Reborn

Wu Xingguo walked over, shook the phone in his hand and said, "Master Fang, Miss Uda's phone number." Miss Uda refers to Uda Mitsuri in the United States.

Gao Xiwen naturally knew and took the initiative to walk aside and watched Fang Mingyuan take the phone, nodded to him, and walked to the balcony on the other side. After about twenty minutes, with a somewhat weird expression

His expression returned, and during the following conversation, Fang Mingyuan seemed a little absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind.

Fang Mingyuan is indeed worried. Uda Mitsuri called him just now and told him that the board of directors of Chevron Petroleum Company has reached an agreement and intends to sell its exploration and mining rights in Area A of the oil reserve area offshore Cambodia. Fang Mingyuan also holds Chevron Oil.

Almost 5% of the shares of Long Petroleum Company ensured that he had a seat on the board of directors of Chevron Petroleum Company. However, due to nationality and race, he rarely attended in person, but was often represented by others. Recently,

Within two years, all non-important matters were handed over to Mitsuri Uda, who was based in the United States.

Uda Mitsuri told him that Chevron Petroleum Company would formally notify the Cambodian government in the next few days and sell this right publicly in the industry. The reason why he was told in such a hurry was because the chairman of Chevron Petroleum Company

It was proposed that if Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company, owned by Fan Mingyuan, is interested in this right, Chevron Petroleum Company can give priority to it. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement, other oil companies will be notified.

While Fang Mingyuan was talking to Gao Xiwen, he was also thinking about the pros and cons of acquiring the exploration and mining rights in Area A of the Cambodian offshore oil reserve from Chevron Petroleum Company. Although Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company is now considered to be the only company with only three barrels of oil in the country,

The largest oil company outside China has established a firm foothold in the country, but compared with three barrels of oil, it still has many inherent shortcomings. The most important of which is that Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company basically has no domestic oil company.

What kind of oil production base? It can be said that its crude oil production areas are basically overseas, even worse than China Offshore Oil Corporation!

Pingchuan Petroleum Group's overseas crude oil production areas are mainly in the Middle East and Brazil, but the total production only accounts for a relatively small proportion compared to Pingchuan Petroleum Group's annual refining capacity. In short, today

The Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company's crude oil production capacity is completely out of proportion to its refining capacity, and it needs to purchase huge amounts of oil from other oil companies every year. The worse its own crude oil production capacity is, the more the company's performance will be affected by the fluctuations in crude oil prices in the international market.

The bigger. Moreover, China’s growing oil imports can also show the importance of having more of its own oil production capacity.

But Fang Mingyuan also has to consider that if Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company has obtained the exploration and mining rights in Area A of the oil storage area offshore Cambodia, the price of oil in the international market has been kept at a low level, and the cost of offshore oil extraction is much higher than that of onshore oil.

Mining and operating risks also have to be seriously considered. Brazilian offshore oil mining is now an important loss point for Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company. If it were not for the oil crash, Fang Mingyuan took the opportunity to make huge profits, both overtly and covertly.

The profits must be quite painful now. And he has been paying attention to the technological progress of shale oil extraction in the United States. He has a feeling that this technology seems to have reached a breakthrough, and it may not take a few years to reach a breakthrough.

Standards for commercial use.

The United States is the largest importer of oil, and countries in the Middle East generally require the use of US dollars to settle oil sales. If the United States' shale oil technology is commercialized, it is self-evident that it will promote the U.S. economy, which is likely to lead to

On the one hand, the United States is reducing its oil imports, and on the other hand, the U.S. dollar is strengthening at the same time. This is also a very high pressure on oil prices in the international market. After all, Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company is only a private enterprise, and there is no national treasury to support it.

You can ignore this huge business risk by knowing everything!

But sometimes we have to say that in the market, risks and opportunities coexist. What is a risk is an opportunity, or what is a risk now will be an opportunity in three to five years. This is difficult to say. If we talk about traditional oil

If new breakthroughs can be made in mining technology and oil mining costs can be further reduced, risks will turn into opportunities!

But regardless of whether Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company ultimately acquires the exploration and mining rights of Area A of Cambodia's offshore oil reserves from Chevron Petroleum Company, Fang Mingyuan felt that he might as well inform An Longning of the bad news first to build a wave of goodwill.

Say it again.

Fang Mingyuan wanted to see An Longning and said that there was something important. Naturally, the people accompanying him rushed to notify him as soon as possible. It didn't take long for An Longning to rush over, but Fang Mingyuan felt that his face was a little gloomy, as if

He was a little unhappy. But looking at his expression, Fang Mingyuan felt that An Longning's displeasure was not directed at him, so it was probably Jin Kasuo and others who had just arrived. It seemed that, for the sake of the two meter-gauge railways,

Bartolomeo and others really put in a lot of effort.

An Longning was indeed what Fang Mingyuan thought. Because of the two meter-gauge railway repair projects, An Longning and Jin Kasuo were very unhappy. If Fang Mingyuan hadn't provoked each other, the two of them might have slapped the table and stared at each other.

In An Longning's view, although Huaqinte Construction Group's brand is good, European companies' project costs have always been high. If Huaqinte Construction Group's engineering team is used to repair these two railways, not only will the Cambodian government be able to borrow money from Asia

All loans and aid funds obtained from development banks and governments of many countries must be invested, and government finances must also invest a lot!

The rehabilitation of these two meter-gauge railways is not a highly technical project. There are many companies that can solve this problem, but it is a pity that Cambodia itself does not have one, otherwise it would not be in this situation. The person in charge of finance

An Long Ning knows better than other officials how tight Cambodia’s finances are today, and its long-term status as an aid recipient has also made it increasingly difficult for the Cambodian government to seek assistance from the international community. No one likes someone who always asks for assistance.

But it is a country that has not seen the results of economic growth.

Now that Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd. is a better choice, and there is hope to restore the two meter-gauge railways using the Brazilian model, how could An Longning choose Huaqin again before getting a definite answer from Fang Mingyuan?

Special Construction Group Company!

However, An Longning couldn't reveal Fang Mingyuan's identity without Fang Mingyuan's consent. Fang Mingyuan's low profile can be said to be his most famous quirk.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan sitting casually on the bamboo chair on the balcony, sipping tea and looking at the sea view with a leisurely look, An Longning couldn't help but laugh, sat next to Fang Mingyuan and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, you

I'm afraid what we need more now is a beautiful woman, not an old guy like me."

"The minister is just over fifty, how can he be called old so easily?" Fang Mingyuan poured him a cup of tea and smiled, "I got some news at the last moment, so I have to invite the minister over. I hope it won't disturb your work, minister."

An Longning chuckled and said: "Mr. Fang is worrying too much. I have already said that my task today is to accompany Mr. Fang and inspect everything here."

"I am a little flattered by the minister's words." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. An Longning's calmness also surprised Fang Mingyuan, "I just received the news that the board of directors of Chevron Petroleum Company has reached a consensus.

You must transfer the exploration and production rights of Area A of your country's offshore oil reserves under the name of Chevron Petroleum Company to other keys within the territory!

An Longning was shocked. He had already picked up the cup. His hand trembled, and a lot of tea spilled out, making a large piece of his clothes wet. He blurted out: "This is impossible!"

Cambodia is a country that needs to import 100% of its oil. However, decades ago, after geological exploration teams from many countries, including China, it was believed that Cambodia has the geological conditions to produce oil. However, due to war, lack of funds, etc.

For many reasons, Cambodia's oil exploration work has not been carried out continuously on a large scale.

This situation lasted until the early 1990s before it was changed. After Vietnam withdrew its troops from Cambodia, the political situation in Cambodia stabilized after several years of operation. In order to change the situation in which Cambodia had no oil production and was overly dependent on foreign supplies, it was also necessary to

To create new financial resources, the Cambodian government put out six offshore exploration blocks and nine land exploration blocks for international bidding, and oil companies from many countries, including Russia, France, and Australia, joined in. However, at the end of the last century,

A Southeast Asian financial crisis evolved into a global economic crisis. Oil prices were low in the international market, and exploration progress was very slow. Therefore, these companies gradually withdrew, but soon many companies, including Chevron Oil Company,

Oil companies took over their place.

Chevron Petroleum Company even drilled multiple oil wells in the offshore waters of Cambodia, one of which has a daily production of more than 800 barrels of oil. For this reason, at the 2007 International Conference on Cambodia’s Economic Vision, the media

Between the lines, they brag about this poor country as a new energy producer and exporter in the future.

Officials from the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program in Cambodia also added to the confusion, believing that there is a huge amount of oil stored in Cambodia's offshore waters, and as long as this oil is exploited, Cambodia's annual income will be more than one billion or even two billion.

With more than US$100, it is enough to increase Cambodia's GDP by one-fifth, remove the label of oil importer, and can also transport oil to surrounding areas. Cambodia will also get rid of the embarrassing label of long-term aid recipient.

Even some Cambodian officials were dazzled by the news. They boasted that Cambodia will produce more than 500 million barrels of oil per year by 2009 or 2010, and will continue to produce 400 million barrels of oil per year.

Years long.

As a result, the global economic crisis officially broke out in 2008. The demand for oil in the international market dropped sharply, prices plummeted, and the cost of offshore oil extraction was high. Cambodia's large-scale oil exploration immediately turned into a flower in the water. Moon in the Mirror

, so far there has been no follow-up. It must be said that Cambodia is very unlucky when it comes to oil exploration. It has been extremely unlucky. Both oil development plans came to nothing because of the economic crisis.

Although the dream of Cambodian officials has been ruined, it is an indisputable fact that there is oil in Cambodia's offshore waters, and Chevron Petroleum Company has always been at the forefront in exploration and production, investing more than 100 million US dollars and laying down ten Several oil wells. It is said that in September this year, Chevron Petroleum Company also submitted an application for an oil production license in Block A to the Cambodian government. However, the Cambodian government rejected the application because the two parties did not agree on the tax payment ratio. , I didn’t expect Chevron Oil Company to directly transfer the exploration and mining rights!

Among the oil companies tendered by the Cambodian government, Chevron Petroleum Company is the fastest moving, has the largest investment, and has the most significant results. Currently, only Chevron Petroleum Company has submitted a formal production license application to the Cambodian government. Other oil companies It was left behind. And Chevron Petroleum Company decided to transfer the exploration and mining rights. This matter is undoubtedly a blow to the Cambodian government’s future oil mining plan!
