Text Chapter 336: Two hundred million US dollars in exchange for an oil company

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If Liu Dong only discussed these matters with Yeltsin a year later, it would still be very difficult for Liu Dong to win over existing oil companies.  Because as an oil resource, it is considered the lifeblood of the Soviet Union.

    "Now the Soviet Union's bulk trade internationally, in addition to gold, is oil, and oil should be more expected by everyone.  Because oil production is much greater than gold.  The value of gold is, to a certain extent, controlled by the Western world.  Not to mention that the United States has the largest gold reserves in the world. South Africa, a country of gold, is not something that the Soviet Union can get involved with.

    As for oil, on the surface, Middle Eastern countries still have OPEC, which can control oil rights to a certain extent.  Moreover, at this time, the Americans had not bullied Saddam twice, and their influence in Middle Eastern countries was not as great as that of later generations.  As a large oil exporting entity, the Soviet Union can also have some status.

    Therefore, oil, as a resource that Yeltsin can control after taking office, still has a very important position in Yeltsin's hands, enough to win over some people and cheer him up.  But now, when Yeltsin himself is still a little confused about the future, it is of course impossible to take advantage of this right first. Moreover, at this time, not many people can think of such a long-term thing. Liu Dong can naturally take it.  At the lowest cost, put this benefit in your own hands.

    How could Yeltsin get 200 million U.S. dollars so easily?  The right to equal treatment costs less than 200 million US dollars.  The conditions Liu Dong released just now are just an appetizer.  But now, it can be considered a dinner.

    Liu Dong is not afraid that the current Yeltsin will reject his conditions.  Because so far, there should be no big boss who can spend so much money for Yeltsin to spend.  Even Leo Vantaa would not be able to give so much money to Yeltsin at this time.  Maybe later when Yeltsin emerges, he will make big moves, but for now, he is still planning his own business.

    When a person is at his most impoverished, even if you give him a steamed bun, he will think it is a supreme delicacy.  What's more, Yeltsin is worried about money. Two hundred million US dollars is enough for him to do too many things.  Especially, the money is in US dollars.

    Don¡¯t think that only China cares about the U.S. dollar. The Soviet Union, the leader of socialism, actually also cares about it.  Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for Liu Dong to use US dollars to open the way.  Although the official exchange rate for US dollars is cheaper than rubles.

    But everyone who understands what the official exchange rate is knows.  In terms of strength, the U.S. dollar is definitely more popular than the ruble in the Soviet market.  Therefore, the role that 200 million U.S. dollars can play in the current Soviet Union is definitely more valuable than 300 million rubles.

    Hearing Liu Dong¡¯s words, Yeltsin was not surprised. If it was so easy to win 200 million US dollars, it would be almost a fair sale.  What Liu Dong is doing with him now is a private deal.  This price is certainly not the price of normal trade.

    "Then what do you need? Oil company? Or a share of the oil company? Or oil?" Yeltsin asked.

    Yeltsin¡¯s words are quite accurate.  Oil field company means that Liu Dong wants to take over an oil field company on his own, whether it is the oil field managed by the company or the personnel of the oil field company.  It is equivalent to sending Liu Dong to be the general manager of the oil field company, and the oil field is no longer under the control of the state.

    The share of the oil field company means that what Liu Dong needs is the economic benefits of the oil field.  Simply exchanging money for money has nothing to do with oil.  Although Liu Dong's income needs oil to ensure it.  But Liu Dong does not have direct dealings with oil.

    As for oil, Liu Dong directly controls the distribution channels of this oil. The oil produced by the oil companies in the Tyumen Oil Field will be distributed by Liu Dong.  These three aspects are the conditions Yeltsin can give.

    Each of the three aspects has its own advantages. If he directly wins one or more oil companies, Liu Dong will also play a decisive role in the future oil field.  If it is a share of an oil company, it means that he does not participate in the management of the oil company, but only enjoys the benefits brought to him by the oil trade. In doing so, Liu Dong only needs to monitor the funds, so that he can ensure his own profits.

    Especially when oil prices soar in the future, this income may exceed 200 million US dollars a month.  If you want to be a rice bug, this is the best way out.  Of course, it is not without risks. As long as the oil company or multiple oil companies designated by Yeltsin go bankrupt at the same time, Liu Dong's interests will not be protected.  I believe that when Yeltsin's position is consolidated in the future, in the face of such huge interests, Yeltsin will definitely make up his mind.  Even Yeltsin wanted to make up his mind, even more soIvan will become stronger in the future.

    So, using oilfield company shares as a cash machine seems very good, but in practice, it is not so wonderful.  Anyone with some brains would not choose such a condition.

    As for the rights to oil sales channels, it is also very good.  But just like the shares of an oil company, it is also a very rich ideal and a very skinny reality.  As a channel provider, as long as the channel can be kept smooth, it can definitely guarantee its own huge profits.  Even if you are a second-rate dealer, as long as you have this supply channel in your hands, the benefits that the channel dealers can get will be huge if oil prices soar in the future.

    At that time, if you want to sell this oil to Sinopec, then sell it to Sinopec. If you want to sell it to PetroChina, then sell it to PetroChina. Even if it is Japan and South Korea, as long as Liu Dong has the channel in his hands, they must obey if they want oil.  Flattery.  That air duct is definitely eye-catching.

    Unfortunately, as oil plays an increasing role in modern society, oil, a simple commodity, has become no longer so simple.  It will also involve political aspects. As long as political factors are involved, oil cannot be a simple commodity.

    Especially in later generations, Ivan often used the benefits of oil exports to negotiate with neighboring countries. If Liu Dong wins this benefit, he will sooner or later become a thorn in Ivan's side and a thorn in his flesh.  Even if this right was given to Liu Dong by Yeltsin, under Ivan's strong hand, it would be impossible for Liu Dong to continue to hold this right.  At that time, we don¡¯t know how many things will happen for this right.

    Especially since these things are all in the Soviet Union, or Russia, Ivan wants to do some tricks so that Liu Dong can't control even a drop of oil even if he holds this rights, which is not a difficult thing.  Rather than holding this right and not being able to control where even a drop of oil goes, it would be better not to take advantage of this right at all.

    Therefore, although Yeltsin gave Liu Dong three options, in fact, among Liu Dong's calculations, the most reliable thing was only the first condition, which moved his heart the most.

    Although Liu Dong knew that choosing the first condition must be the one with the least benefit among the three conditions, because if you want to completely win the rights and interests of one or several oil companies, rather than just controlling the channels, you also need to participate in the shares.  , much more conspicuous.

    Regarding the resources that need to be mobilized, under the same conditions, the second and third items will definitely yield more things, because they will not be too eye-catching.  But in order to prevent others from being too greedy for this resource in the future, some necessary measures were taken.  Choosing the first condition is the best.

    Now that he had made a clear choice, Liu Dong stopped thinking about it and said directly to Yeltsin: "Mr. Yeltsin, as an industrialist, although I am very greedy for the second and third conditions,  But that would not be of great help to our company, it would just be a way to get some money. So, I decided to choose the first condition, which is an oil company."

    "Oil company? This is a troublesome thing. Under the same conditions, it is more difficult to obtain an oil company than to obtain shares and channels. The real benefits are also the least. Mr. Liu Dong, don't think more about it.  ?" Yeltsin asked with a frown when he heard that Liu Dong wanted an oil company.

    For Yeltsin, if he has the opportunity to rise to power in the future, it would not be too conspicuous to quietly give Liu Dong some shares in the oil company, or give Liu Dong the marketing rights of the oil.  But oil companies are in more trouble.  After all, the Soviet Union had never had a precedent of opening up its resource industries to non-state-owned economies.  If it is really given to Liudong Petroleum Company, the pressure from public opinion will become huge.

    "I have thought clearly about choosing an oil company. This oil company can be placed under the banner of our Huanya Mining. This will not cause any conflict with our company's existing business, which is more convenient. Of course,  I also understand your concerns, Secretary Yeltsin, but I believe that when we actually start to operate this matter, there will definitely not be much trouble." Liu Dong said.

    ¡°Just kidding, after Yeltsin disintegrates the Soviet Union and Russia implements complete privatization, then there will be predators everywhere who carve up state-owned enterprises. If he takes over a few oil companies, there will be no problems at all.

    "I hope. This matter may be far away. If your investment fails, Mr. Liu Dong, don't blame me." Since Liu Dong insisted on the oil company, Yeltsin said no more.  Being able to get money is the key. As for the future, we can only take it one step at a time.
