The next day, Xiao Yunhai drove to the government office at 9 AM.
He bumped into Abdul, the guy who gambled with him last time.
The 22% shares of Varjal Oil Field were won by Xiao Yunhai from him and Terrence Bezie.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, we meet again."
Abdul was very enthusiastic when he saw Xiao Yunhai. He didn't seem to mind that he had lost a lot of money to Xiao Yunhai. He had to admit that he was a good gambler.
Xiao Yunhai hugged him and smiled. "Mr. Abdul, you're not a good friend. If it wasn't for the Hua Xia government informing me that you're in Beijing, I wouldn't have known. This afternoon, you must give me a chance to do my part as a host. "
Abdul said happily, "That's great. I just heard that the most famous snack in Beijing is Quanjude's roast duck. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and smiled. "No problem."
The two of them chatted for a while outside. In less than five minutes, several oil tycoons in Arabian clothing arrived one after another.
They were all in bulletproof cars and had at least six to seven bodyguards.
One of them was an acquaintance of Xiao Yunhai's, Gebadi, who had opened a bank with him.
These oil tycoons looked arrogant when they got out of the car. But when they saw Xiao Yunhai, their faces lit up and they all went up to greet Xiao Yunhai.
Liao Shengzhi and Tian Weiqi, who came to greet them, smiled bitterly when they saw this scene.
They were Hua Xia's government officials, but in the eyes of these tycoons, they were far inferior to a businessman. The difference was too big.
The two of them invited the tycoons to the conference room, and the fourth day of negotiations officially began.
"Gentlemen, this is the third day. We have said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said. I believe that everyone can feel the sincerity of the Hua Xia government. If you have any conditions, please feel free to state them. We can discuss them. "
Liao Shengzhi's English was not bad, and he had an authentic London accent.
But everyone seemed to have not heard him, and all of them whispered in each other's ears, causing Liao Shengzhi to be greatly angered, yet he couldn't flare up, so he turned his head towards Xiao Yunhai and shot a pleading gaze at him.
Xiao Yunhai didn't put on airs. He took a sip of tea and suddenly turned to Abdul. "Mr. Abdul, how many shares do you own in Varjal Oil Field?"
Abdul was stunned. "I used to be the first shareholder with you. I lost 12% of the shares, and now I'm third."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and asked, "Then who among us is a shareholder of Wagar Oil Field?"
Abdul pointed at Gebadi beside him and then at the other two men. "They are both." Mr., do you want to buy it from us? "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "How is that possible? Now that oil prices are rising, I don't have enough money to buy the entire oil field. Abdul, Gawal Oil Field has always been exported to Europe and America. As far as I know, the contract is about to expire. I hope everyone can give me some face and change the export target to Hua Xia. "
Xiao Yunhai's words were very direct. He didn't beat around the bush at all and simply put the words on the table.
The government negotiators were all shocked, and they all turned to look at the shareholders.
They are not afraid that the other party will ask for too much. What they are afraid of is that the other party will not even ask for the price. That is the most troublesome thing. "
Now that Xiao Yunhai had asked such a direct question, as long as the other party answered, the negotiation could proceed as normal.
However, the one who spoke was not Abdul, but Gebadi.
"Mr. Xiao, when you suddenly came here today, we already knew that the Hua Xia government must have invited you to be a lobbyist. We are all in the oil business, and we are all old friends. We will give you face and no longer hide it. Let's talk about our Gawal Oil Field first. It's not that we can't supply oil to Hua Xia, but at most 50%. Otherwise, we won't be able to answer to the European and American countries. "
Xiao Yunhai glanced at Liao Shengzhi.
Liao Shengzhi thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Gebadi, can't we increase the extraction rate?"
Gebadi said, "This is already our limit."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Gebadi, why don't we completely open up this oil field? “
Gebadi was stunned and said, "What do you mean? I don't understand. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Gawal Oil Field is so big. Any country or company that wants oil can mine it on their own. This way, we can get the most funds in the shortest amount of time, so why not do it? As for what equipment they use, how much they invest, how they transport it, and how they use it, we don't care. When the time comes, we only need to send someone to count the amount and wait for the money. Isn't that enough? "
Abdul shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiao, the investment for oil mining and transportation is not small. Who will pay for this part of the cost? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Didn't I just say it? The cost has nothing to do with us. The oil price will not decrease by a single cent. The other party will pay how much oil they extract. "
Abdul, Gebadi, and the others' eyes lit up and said, "That's something we can consider."
According to Xiao Yunhai, it was equivalent to extracting oil without any cost. It was simply too advantageous for them.
Liao Shengzhi frowned and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you think our government will be so stupid?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Oil is the lifeline of a country. Hua Xia wants to get oil fields from the European and American countries, so they will definitely have to pay a higher price than them. Otherwise, why would we take the risk of offending the European and American countries to support Hua Xia? "
Seeing that Liao Shengzhi seemed to be deep in thought, Xiao Yunhai said, "Minister Liao, I think you should report this to the higher-ups."
Abdul said, "Minister Liao, if you can agree to Mr. Xiao's conditions. I can sell you another oil field with a reserve of three billion barrels. "
Gebadi agreed and said, "I will also consider selling my oil field to you."
The others also expressed their opinions, giving Liao Shengzhi a lot of pressure.
Liao Shengzhi's expression was very serious. He stood up and said, "This matter is beyond my authority. I'm sorry, but I need to report this to the higher-ups. Please wait for me for a while. "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After Liao Shengzhi and the other negotiators left, Abdul said in surprise, "Xiao, aren't you Hua Xia people very patriotic? This condition seems to be very disadvantageous for Hua Xia. "
Xiao Yunhai took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I'm Hua Xia, but first and foremost, I'm a businessman. I'm not willing to do something that will cause me to lose money. According to my conditions, Hua Xia will get the oil, and we will reduce the cost and get more money in a short time. It's the best of both worlds. Why not do it? "
Gebadi gave him a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're smart. If the Hua Xia government agrees, that would be the best. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "I believe they will make the wisest choice."
A trace of cunning flashed in Xiao Yunhai's eyes.
In fact, this method was the result of a discussion between Xiao Chongyang and Liao Shengzhi.
Because of Hua Xia Oil Company's inaction, tens of thousands of employees had nothing to do. They wanted five people to do a job, causing the company to have many internal problems.
If they got the oil field in the Middle East, Hua Xia Oil Company could send a large number of employees to work there. The cost was not as high as Abdul and Gebadi thought.
This morning, on the way back, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Xiao Chongyang, who asked him to look for the right time at the negotiation table and put forward the conditions that the oil tycoons could not refuse.
Liao Shengzhi's performance just now was just to cooperate with Xiao Yunhai. He should have found a place to drink tea now.
