Chapter 34 Prepare for Contact (2 more

Since 1974, China has begun oil and natural gas surveys in the East China Sea. Due to technical reasons in the early stage, the oil wells detected were not ideal.

In 1995, Huixing Company successfully drilled in Chunxiao area. The amount of oil drilled out of the oil well exploration in the area is quite considerable. As the exploration deepens, good news continues.

At present, Chunxiao Oil and Gas Field has become a large oil and gas field developed by China in the West Lake Sink in the East China Sea Continental Shelf Basin. This East China Sea area, 500 kilometers southeast of Shanghai and 350 kilometers away from Ningbo, is located by experts as the "East China West Lake Sink Area".

The East China Sea West Lake sag area consists of five oil and gas fields. In addition to spring dawn, it also includes four oil and gas fields: Pinghu, residual snow, broken bridge and Tianwaitian. The area covers a total area of ​​22,000 square kilometers. Its proven oil and gas volume, natural gas reserves alone, are as high as more than 70 billion cubic meters. It is currently the largest offshore oil and gas field in China.

The purpose of CNOOC's first overseas listing is to develop Chunxiao Oilfield.

Unfortunately, the rushing CNOOC did not realize it, or in other words, the entire Chinese senior management did not realize that long before China explored the Chunxiao Oil and Gas area, the neighboring country that had been eyeing China had already conducted in-depth exploration of this area.

According to the investigation results circulated in Japan later, this sea area is buried in manganese that has been consumed by Japan for 320 years, cobalt, nickel for 100 years, natural gas and other mineral resources and fishery resources, which are enough to transform Japan from a country with poor natural resources into a "natural resource power".

Therefore, this country consisting of a group of people who deceive the good and fear the evil creates the so-called "horizon-middle line".

Chunxiao Oil and Gas Field is only 5 kilometers away from this so-called "middle line". When China develops Chunxiao Oil and Gas Field on a large scale, it will inevitably expand in-depth exploration of these sea areas. If Japan's exploration is true, China will inevitably develop the rich resources it contains, which is what Japan least wants to see.

In 1999, almost all CNOOC mining equipment was imported and the prices were extremely high, especially the equipment for deep-sea exploration and exploitation, which was astonishingly high, especially the cost of each large deep-sea drilling ship was more than hundreds of millions of dollars.

CNOOC has no ability to buy such high prices directly, and even if it is rented, the daily rent will be as high as 200,000 to 300,000 US dollars.

Although the central government has always been determined to support the development of CNOOC, the country's foreign exchange reserves were limited at that time, and the central government needed to support too many strategic development levels, so foreign exchange support for CNOOC was very limited. Therefore, overseas listing financing became an extremely critical step in CNOOC's own development and Chunxiao Oil and Gas Field Development.

Therefore, CNOOC took the lead in launching an attack on the overseas capital market. However, after CNOOC reported that it was going to go public for financing, the Mitsui Consortium and Sumitomo Consortium, which were "authorized" by Japan to have the right to develop sea areas, also began to secretly attack behind their backs.

CNOOC's listing financing plan in October 1999 ended in failure, and the development of Chunxiao Oil and Gas Field had to be shelved.

Putting away his chaotic mood, Li Wen looked at Phil and whispered to Wu Bin: "Angkor, please forgive me for being abrupt. Can you tell me if you are here to negotiate with that company this time?"

Wu Bin looked at Li Wen seriously, as if he wanted to see the reason why Li Wen asked this from Li Wen's face, but he could only see a calmness on his face. After pondering for a while, he slowly said: "Although I don't know what the reason for you asked this, these are not secrets. As long as you are interested in checking it, it can be easily found. The person I made this appointment is a vice president of Royal Shell Oil Company of the British and Dutch Republic."

In my past memory, although CNOOC finally raised nearly US$1.9 billion in Hong Kong and New York as it wished in February 2001, the price of this listing was quite high - the development of Chunxiao Oil and Gas Field was forced to open to the public.

Royal British and Dutch Shell Petroleum Company was "threatened" to participate in the development of Chunxiao Oil and Gas Field with a subscription of US$200 million, becoming one of the two oil companies involved. Later, Shell took advantage of the cover of CNOOC to extend its hands to the most profitable downstream industries such as the transportation and sales of refined oil and chemical raw materials, and through these industries, it plundered huge profits in mainland China.

"Royal Shell of England and the Netherlands..." Li Wen read it himself and then turned his attention to Phil. Regarding this company involved in Chunxiao's development, Li Wen learned that this old oil company is one of the successors of the split Ohio Standard Oil Company. Ohio Standard Oil Company is the oil empire founded by Rockefeller, and Royal Shell of England and the Royal Shell of England and the Rockefeller family is still controlled by the Rockefeller family.

"Don't look at me. Although the British and Dutch Royal Shell is controlled by my family, I have already told you about my situation." Seeing Li Wen looking at him, Phil said in a low smile.

Li Wen gave a sorry expression to Phil's helpless expression, was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you think this is an opportunity?"

The oil field is the core industry of the Rockefeller family. If Phil wants to make his first heir worth the right amount, it is necessary to obtain the support of these managers who helped the Rockefeller family run their huge oil empire.

Although his grandfather did not allow him to interfere in the Rockefeller family's industry, his grandfather was already old after all. As one of the new generation of heirs with inheritance rights, even if his grandfather explicitly banned it, I believe there are still many ambitious people who are very interested in cooperating with Phil.

The change of rights is always accompanied by the gains and losses of various interests. Interests are the most crazy things that mankind has, no doubt about it.

No group will be a solid foundation. Where there are people, there will be a world of martial arts. Similarly, where there are teams, there will be factions, and the enemy's enemies are allies. Even if Phil doesn't work hard to fight for it, his status as the first heir will still attract the attention of unwilling to be lonely.

Instead of being led by others, why don’t you take the initiative to fight for it? No ambitious person is willing to follow a mediocre master.

After hearing Li Wen's words, Phil's eyes lit up, and his mind instantly sped up, calculating various gains and losses. Although before, Phil had been prevented by his grandfather from participating in the family industry with various excuses, he thought that the grandson who could help him get a higher chance to become the next patriarch.

The Rockefeller family, children with inheritance rights and some children of the collateral who have received recommended places can participate in some of the family's industries after the 18-year-old adultery ceremony to show their abilities. According to the order of inheritance, the former has the right to give priority to the assistant assigned by the family and choose one-time promotion and bonus points. Of course, whether the assistant will wholeheartedly plan for you depends on personal means.

Until the 10th anniversary of the head of the family becoming the head of the family, the top 20 winners will be selected among these competitors. These 20 winners will be able to enter the core industry of the family. After another five years of investigation, five people will be selected to join the family's decision-making level. After 4 years of baptism, the family will vote for the next head of the family among the five, and the successor will have a transition period of one year with the head of the family. During this year, the final winner will gradually take over the excessive rights and obligations of being the head of the family, and finally officially take charge of the huge consortium of the Rockefeller family for twenty years.

Phil is already 23 years old this year and has missed 5 years. His father has been the head of the family for more than 7 years, which means that the time left for Phil has been less than 3 years.

In addition, due to physical reasons, Phil's father may not be able to serve as the head of the family for twenty years. In other words, the selection of heads of Phil's generation is likely to shorten the deadline. If Phil gets enough results in less than three years and squeezes into the top 20, he will be kicked out directly.

Although he has not been able to participate in the family's industry in recent years, with the support of some ambitions, Phil, who was also unwilling to accept it, has won over some people through various means and established a little power, and Farah and others are one of them.

The second time he was able to escape from the control of old Rockefeller was the efforts of his father and his supporters, and he was in need of achievements to repay his father and those supporters. Under the cover of his father, his cooperation with Li Wen temporarily avoided the peeping of others. Even those supporters did not know that profits from the Nasdaq market would be his bargaining chips.

Phil, who came back from various calculations, said to Wu Bin: "Which company is Mr. Wu?"

"CNOOC, China Offshore Oil Co., Ltd...." Li Wen and Phil did not avoid Wu Bin's conversation just now. Wu Bin knew very well that he had heard the saying "Although the British-Dutch Royal Shell is controlled by my family." As an assistant to the CNOOC office, he naturally knew what kind of company the British-Dutch Royal Shell was, and also knew who the controller behind it was, a family that could make the entire world oil market tremble - the Rockefeller family.

"Phil is a member of the Rockefeller family..." Perhaps ordinary people have no time to pay attention to the Rockefeller family, which has long since left the public eye, but as one of the three giants in China, it is impossible for them to understand this giant family that once controlled 80% of the world's oil market. Wu Bin couldn't help but think of Xiao Tian's prompt and smiled bitterly.

This is not to say that Wu Bin nodded and bowed to please him when he saw the Rockefeller family. The Chinese did not have this slavery. Wu Bin smiled bitterly because he didn't expect that this family who had faded out of the public's vision and was controlled by others would let him meet him. He was just curious about the people in the Rockefeller family, and at the same time he could not help but guess Li Wen's identity again.

"China Offshore Oil Co., Ltd....I'm very happy to know you, Mr. Wu, sorry! I've lost my companion in advance, so you and Mr. Wen slowly chat." Phil smiled at Li Wen, and suddenly stood up and said to Wu Bin.

Those who accomplish great things must have the decisive and killing spirit. Li Wen knew that Phil was going back to discuss countermeasures with his father and those supporters. He knew more clearly that he was discussing how to contact Shell's people instead of dealing with CNOOC.

Since meeting Wu Bin again, Li Wen has made a plan, and Rafael's entry is the key.
