Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Ngama immediately ordered the servant to print the contract and get champagne. Although the place is very poor, the upper class still has everything, everything you can have, and the enjoyment you should have.For lunch, Zhang Xingming ate roast chicken, which is definitely a luxury food here.There are also vegetables, the price will make you feel very happy.

You must know that eggs are sold here for three or four dollars a kilogram, and a kilogram of leafy vegetables is at least five dollars.

Without keeping everyone waiting for a long time, the servant came over with a contract written in Western French, Chinese and English.

Several people from Zhang Xingming looked at it, and there was no problem, but Zhang Xingming added a clause to the contract: the meanings expressed in the four languages ​​are the same in this contract, and if there is any difference, the original Chinese meaning shall prevail. Used by legal departments around the world.

This kind of thing is not a trivial matter. Bullying you can't understand, adding some messy things in some small language, and stating that if there is any dispute, the small language will prevail. It's not just happened a few times.

Soon, the addition of clauses was completed, and Zhang Xingming and Ngama signed the contract with their seals, and the agreement was deemed to have been successfully signed and entered into force.

The waiter opened the champagne, and everyone poured wine and clinked glasses to celebrate.A dictator has the benefits of a dictator, and it is easy to do things, and it is settled with one word.

The next day, Ngama went back to North Oko Island, and Zhang Xingming and Equatorial Guinea government personnel went to the beach to measure the land and draw the line.Both lands are by the sea, one is behind the airport and the other is in the town of Benito. It took two days to survey and map the land, and then go to the government to register and get the title certificate.

Another three days passed before the certificate signed by Ngama was finally obtained, along with a 30-year license for exploration and mining of minerals and energy throughout the territory.With peace of mind, Zhang Xingming felt relieved and began to discuss with the government about the construction of the hospital.

There is no need for Zhang Xingming to command here, and the relevant material procurement personnel and equipment arrangements have already been sent to John. From this point of view, John's company is the closest, and it is about [-] kilometers away by sea.

In fact, none of the four assistants who signed the agreement understood. According to their opinion, just buy a boat and go to Baxi directly. no?

Zhang Xingming couldn't explain it either. I can't say that I know that there are oil reserves in this sea, right?Although the oil reserves on the Equatorial Guinea side are not as large as those on Prince Edward Island, there are more than one billion barrels, which is not a small amount. There is also natural gas. Oil has three forms. There are many gas fields in Equatorial Guinea.

Zhang Xingming can only explain to everyone that this is for future convenience. Not everyone likes to take a boat. There is an airport in Bata, which is only 200 kilometers away from Prince Edward Island. There are a lot of blah blah blah, and I don't know how many people listened to it or not.

Although this place is poor, the place where Zhang Xingming and his party live is good. It is also a country, so the two aspects of food and accommodation are not bad. The food here is not bad except for the spicy taste.

A few days later, the first charter plane carrying personnel and equipment landed at Bata Airport, and the construction of the base began. With a distance of 230 kilometers, Bata and Prince Edward Island began preparations for major construction at the same time.Heavy equipment has to be shipped by boat, and it will take several days to arrive.

Pulling wires, building a gas station, installing generators, drawing lines, drawing boundary markers, and building a temporary resident, Zhang Xingming was fine again, and the energy company was still there, so he flew back to Prague.

The reason why the negotiations between Equatorial Guinea and Guinea were so fast is mainly because this place is so poor. As long as the funds can be landed, the land is not considered at all. What is this thing worth?Might as well have some trees in the mountains.Two pieces of land in exchange for a large general hospital is worth it.Moreover, the land needs construction, investment, labor and materials, and a cow can be tied.

Although Ngama has always behaved calmly, he is aware of the turmoil in his heart. The assistance from the Western world has been intermittent, and it has become more and more rare since 85, and there is no hope for the piecemeal. In the future?The future is God's business, and it is true to seize the present.At least in this deal, the state gets the hospital and the individual gets the stake and the commitment, perfect.

In fact, Ngama is most interested in the shopping malls proposed by Zhang Xingming. The supplies here are too short. Will he suffer from a rich man's manor?Will he be reluctant to spend money?No, it is conceivable that a large amount of materials will reach Bata through various routes, which is what Bata needs most.Materials, even a vegetable leaf or an egg.

Regardless of Ngama's inner world.

Zhang Xingming arrived in Prague in a daze.He hasn't slept well these days, Bata, there is an air conditioner but it can't be used all day, the electricity is too tight.Zhang Xingming is the kind of person who can endure all hardships and persevere in anything when he is awake, but he is finished when he sleeps, and he can't sleep at all due to humidity and stuffy heat.Only the air conditioner is a good friend.

When they arrived in Prague and got off the plane, the group felt the deep malice of the climate, it was so fucking cold.The rainy season has arrived.Human breath can even see a faint white mist.

Tightening his clothes, Zhang Xingming hurriedly walked out of the airport behind Li Chun and the others: "What the hell, it feels like it's from the sun to the moon, and the two sides are not far away. Why is there such a difference? .”

Xu Xiaoya rolled her eyes: "One side is a temperate zone and the other is a tropical zone, okay? Do you have some common sense of geography?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Then let me ask you, isn't the north of Africa full of deserts? Is it hot? Then why are we on the same line with it, that area is full of mountains, dense forests and big rivers? And our northwest region is further north. Desert sandstone?"

Xu Xiaoya was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure it out. Su Yan gave her a hand and said, "Ignore him. He secretly changed his concept. What does desert have to do with heat? It's a problem of rain belts."

Zhang Xingming turned his head to look at Su Yan and asked, "Okay, is it raining? Both the north and south ends of the African continent are located in the Atlantic Ocean, and Kobia, Egypt, is submerged in water. Why doesn't it rain?"

Xu Xiaoya said: "This is a question of topography and landforms, right? Can you talk about things without mixing different concepts together? I almost confused you."

Chapter 887 Energy Company

Zhang Xingming laughed loudly and said, "All day I feel that a high education looks down on me. Let me tell you why. That's why I was born that way. The earth is so long. Who knows why."

After crackling fists and kicks, Zhang Xingming ran away with his head in his arms.

After getting in the car and returning to the residence, Zhang Xingming took a shower and threw himself on the bed, it felt so comfortable.

Nothing happened in the next few days. It will take a week for the equipment and personnel to be transported to Bata. Zhang Xingming didn’t ask any more questions, but just kept an eye on the matter of the energy company. It’s already the second half of 89, and the oil there is 91. It was announced in the first half of the year that it was discovered. No one knows the specific time point in the middle, so the time can be grabbed as soon as possible. If someone else finds out first, it will be troublesome.

To be honest, Zhang Xingming hasn't paid so much attention to one thing for a long time, and it's been a long time since he has been paying attention to one thing in person, but the matter of oil is too big, so he doesn't feel at ease if he doesn't pay attention to it.

At this moment in 89, Standard Oil was relatively weak. Because of the anti-monopoly bill, it had to divest a large number of subsidiaries, oil fields and refineries, and its assets in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region shrank severely.

Throughout the 11th century, energy companies had the most divisions and mergers. This piece of meat is too fat, and there are too many people staring at it. Standard Oil itself is the product of the split. It was anti-monopoly in [-] years The company was separated from Locke Fly by the Act, when international forces forcibly split Locke Fly away.

However, oil companies are very aggregated, and they can easily grow into huge monsters, so they are dismantled again. Tracing back to the source, the major oil companies in various countries that are now famous all over the world were basically one a few years ago.Kind of a boss.

However, although Standard Oil is seemingly in a period of weakness, its own strength is still quite huge, and the divestiture of assets has given it a huge amount of funds.

Amoco is relatively weaker. It is said that in terms of oil and energy, John Zhao is more than one level worse than Bald Eagle.

Acquisition is a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, especially when you still want to keep it secret and don't want to disturb the market.

Bata's base began to be built, and a large amount of materials were transferred from Bashi.The permanent base and construction standards are quite high, and there are many facilities and equipment. The craftsmanship and materials involved are not comparable to ordinary buildings.

The living quarters on Prince Edward Island are almost ready, and the surveying, collecting and mapping personnel have moved in successively with equipment and started hard work.It is really hard to work in the field here, but there is no way. Only when all three aspects are in place can we talk about the construction of all aspects. This is a necessary process.

The main reason why the island can start working so quickly is because of safety.There are no large animals on Prince Edward Island, and there are no outsiders. As long as the houses are built and the generators are working, the rest can be done slowly. After all, this living area is only temporary.

……

"What's going on over there now?"

"Amoco owns all the shares of Sinclair Pipeline Company and 81% of the shares of Pan American Petroleum and Transportation Company. In addition, Amoco owns several large refineries in Texas and Virginia, among the Bald Eagle Over 2700 kilometers of pipelines have been laid in the western region, and a huge oil pipeline network has been established, with more than 7000 gas stations.

In 87, Amoco acquired the Maple Leaf National Petroleum Company at a cost of US$40 billion, greatly increasing its oil and gas reserves and further strengthening its strength.At present, Amoco has the largest natural gas reserves in North America and is the largest natural gas producer in North America.Exploration and development activities cover 19 countries and regions around the world.

It has 3662 billion cubic meters of natural gas reserves and 2 million tons of crude oil and natural gas liquids reserves.Produced 3 million tons of crude oil and natural gas liquids, including 2110 million tons of Bald Eagle, 985 million tons of Maple Leaf Country, 305 million tons of Europe, and 300 million tons of rest of the world; produced 520 billion cubic meters of natural gas.

This is an enterprise dedicated to the domestic business of Bald Eagle, for which it has given up many high-quality overseas assets.After careful calculation, it is conservatively estimated that Amoco is now worth at least 180 billion US dollars.The evaluation level is A+, a valuable enterprise, and the acquisition index is 3.8. "

Amoco acquisition is not difficult. Zhang Xingming knows in his heart that although this company is doing well, it always seems to be a little bit behind in the decision-making of the general direction. It has been suppressed by several other major oil companies until it was acquired by BP. come over.

"Then let's speed up. It's best if you can buy it with money. It's really impossible to replace it with the shares of Meifu. Although Meifu is more valuable, it must not be our own. Buy it with John's company."

Xu Lan memorized it and said: "The judgment of the standard is not very good, the acquisition is too difficult, the most likely thing is to become a major shareholder."

Zhang Xingming thought for a while and said: "Let's just be the major shareholder, and one family can't finish it all. It's almost enough to buy Amoco, and if we add Standard and Meifu, it's almost the same for us to hold shares and form a new company. Now we If it's time, understand?"

Hu Yanyan said, "Er Ming, how will the management of the energy company arrange it?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Look for a talent agency to recruit a general manager, and ask for a vice president from China. Try to keep the original team for the rest, and adjust it. It's almost the same. Foreigners are not very sensitive to this. Compared with us, they Personal planning and positioning are generally very accurate, as long as the salary and treatment development prospects can be satisfied, they will be very stable.”

Xu Xiaoya said, "Erming, how do we solve the problem of the optical cable? Should we do it ourselves or hire a professional team?"

Zhang Xingming said: "What do we do now? Let's hire first, let Bald Eagle, China, and John cooperate with each other, observe and sort out relevant information by the way, and prepare to set up our own company. That requires professional ships and personnel, and there is no rush. , in the high-tech area, our foundation is too weak, let's suffer."

Xu Xiaoya said: "Doudou City needs your advice now. Should the new type of computer be released directly or wait for the software and hardware to be upgraded?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Let's release it, how can software and hardware upgrades be so fast. Tell the laboratory, the standard, to come up with a standard that can be promoted to be compatible with the outside world, and reserve at least two generations of upgrade space. Everything should be as far as possible. Modularization and generalization, plug and play, in preparation for later upgrades. Please pay more attention to the software, and remind you. Godfather Liu will worry about the hardware."

Xu Lan asked: "Do you have any other requirements for establishing a computer and supporting factory in Prague?"
