Headquarters of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) in Beijing.
A black Cadillac entered his territory like a forest tiger.
After the car stopped at an empty road, two white people, a man and a woman, got out of the back seat.
The white man was wearing a black cashmere sweater and warm leather shoes. He was tall, at least 1.85 meters tall, with well-defined facial features, deep and handsome, and a pair of blue eyes.
The white woman wore a blue coat with a white scarf on her upper body, black tights and gray boots on her lower body. She was tall, with delicate features, glowing white skin, and golden hair.
"Mr. Nelson! Welcome to our CNOOC headquarters." Wang Yilin greeted him with a smile on his face and said hello quickly. A female comrade who was responsible for translation beside him hurriedly translated.
"Mr. Wang, it's nice to see you again. I hope we can reach a cooperation this time." Nelson bent down slightly and shook hands with him. He always had a warm smile on his face, but there was a hint of subtle disgust in his eyes.
"Mr. Wang! It's nice to see you again. I hope we can reach a cooperation this time." The female comrade hurriedly translated.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then went to a conference room to start formal negotiations. The content of the negotiations was about the cooperation between China National Offshore Oil Corporation and the US Arco Petroleum Company on the atmospheric oil field project discovered in the Yacheng waters of Hai Province.
"Mr. Wang! Now, as soon as we sign the contract, our company will immediately invest the necessary equipment in the project. We will also dispatch our most professional engineers and your personnel to quickly build the gas field's extraction platform. One hundred million MiGold will be immediately deposited into our joint account. We anticipate that within no more than five years, we will be able to smoothly provide high-quality natural gas resources to your coastal province."
Nelson spoke fluent English and stated the purpose of his visit directly. He didn't want to continue pushing it back and forth and wasting time.
"We still want to bring in Towngas to join this project. Not only will we get 200 million RMB in financial support, but more importantly, once the deep-sea pipeline to Hong Kong is completed, we will be able to work with them and have a perfect partner."
Wang Yilin himself really wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible, but he had no choice but to obey military orders. In the past few months, he was exhausted from fighting for benefits with this foreign devil.
His idea now is that this time he must let his employees find ways to learn the other party's advanced technology, and at the same time let relevant experts obtain data on their related equipment at close range to prepare for imitation, so as to avoid being controlled by others at that time.
"As far as we know, Towngas does not have the necessary resources to join this project. 200 million yuan is not indispensable, so we will not agree to it."
Nelson naturally found out the details of China Gas Company and was completely dismissive of its technological content. He thought it was just an energy processing plant and naturally looked down upon it.
"The subsequent construction of this project requires a huge amount of funds. Having another partner can help us shoulder some of the pressure. What do you think?"
"If China Gas Company insists on joining, that's not impossible, but the shares must come from your share."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Yilin became alert instantly. After decades of official career, he was certainly not a fool, otherwise he would not have reached his current position. Although he was a little uncomfortable when he first started doing business with Americans, his IQ was still online.
There has always been a question in my mind: why would the American Arco Oil Company be willing to pay more money to acquire more shares?
"That's impossible. We must hold a 51% stake in the Yacheng offshore gas field project. This is the bottom line. Otherwise, we would rather not cooperate."
"Then we can cooperate and sign the contract today. Time is money now, and every day of delay is a loss for us."
"What we are considering is that you transfer 15% of your shares to China Gas Company in exchange for 200 million yuan in funds. The 100 million yuan you are prepared to invest will not have to be invested in the cooperative project."
"That's absolutely impossible. The technical equipment and relevant personnel we provide are the key. If the other party insists on joining, our company will consider withdrawing from the project."
"Mr. Nelson! There are more companies in this world than just your American Arco Oil Company. We don't have only your company as an option."
"If you want to kick us out, we have no objection, but I'm not sure if you can guarantee the normal exploitation of your gas fields at that time."
Nelson calmly lit a cigar and looked down at Wang Yilin's dark face, looking as arrogant as he could be.
This sentence was a naked threat. All the Chinese people present at the meeting blushed with anger and wished they could tear this foreigner into pieces.
"If you insist on going your own way, then we will seek cooperation from other American oil companies?"
Wang Yilin also chose to fight to the end. He knew deeply that blindly compromising and giving in would only make the other party more aggressive and unscrupulous.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and no one spoke any more, because everyone knew that speaking would mean being at a disadvantage.
"Manager Nelson! How about I make a suggestion?" Song Wanpeng, General Manager of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, was the first to break the silence, giving both of them a way out, and then said:
