The next day.
Mutwa, a representative of Kuwait Petroleum Co., Ltd., and his delegation arrived safely at the Beijing Airport.
Mo Zhexuan and relevant Chinese personnel went to greet them in person to express their importance.
"Your Excellency Mutwa! Welcome to the capital."
"Mr. Mo! I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time."
The two shook hands, looked at each other, and felt a sense of respect from each other's eyes.
"This is Director Zhang from the Ministry of Foreign Trade!"
"Hello!"
“...............”
After greeting everyone in turn, Mutwa and his group successfully boarded the Hongqi Bridge car and headed towards the State Guest Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
After arriving at the destination, three tables of sumptuous lunch were arranged to welcome Mutwa and his party. At the dinner table, Mo Zhexuan fully demonstrated the Chinese hospitality.
He was very enthusiastic and thoughtful. After a few drinks, I learned from Mutwa, the representative of Kuwait Petroleum Co., Ltd., his attitude and sincerity in coming to cooperate with me.
This time, the other party came entirely for the sake of the polar bear, and at the same time wanted to cooperate with China with an attitude of friendship, but was afraid of offending the Americans, so he felt very conflicted and entangled.
On the contrary, they do not attach much importance to the Yacheng sea area gas field project itself. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are many gas fields with reserves of more than 100 billion in the country.
Kuwait is rich in oil and natural gas resources. Its proven oil reserves alone are close to 100 billion barrels, accounting for about 10% of the world's total reserves and ranking fourth in the world.
The country's land area is only 17,800 square kilometers, which is very close to the total area of China's capital. However, even on this pitifully small piece of land, it has rich resources. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the chosen one of God.
"Mr. Mutwa! Your technology is world-renowned, so we hope you can provide key technical support for the exploitation of our large gas fields."
Song Wanpeng, general manager of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, was overjoyed when he learned from Wu Kuobin that Kuvit Petroleum Corporation was considering participating in the investment.
This means that we will no longer be exploited by the US Arco Petroleum Corporation in terms of technology, and we will have greater confidence to say no to unequal conditions.
In fact, after learning that the actual reserves of the Yacheng sea area gas field were more than 100 billion cubic meters, many comrades within China were furious and cursed, and demanded to change their partners.
If the contract is really signed, the losses will be too great, damaging the interests of the country and the people. In the end, for the sake of the overall situation, we can only compromise helplessly.
"Manager Song! We can provide technical support within our capabilities, but Arco Petroleum is an expert in offshore mining, so we should prioritize them."
Mutwa drank a little too much, but his mind was not confused. If he took on too much responsibility and kicked the Americans out, would the US military find something to do for itself in its own home in the Middle East?
Although he has a good relationship with the polar bear at present, it is impossible for him to directly join the other side. With his limited strength, the best way is to play both sides.
"Thank you for your support. How about we have a good discussion tomorrow and finalize the project as soon as possible?"
Song Wanpeng also understood what the other party meant. He was just here to make a cameo appearance, but he also appreciated the other party's kindness and had the support of Kvit Petroleum Co., Ltd.
At least we don't have to worry about the US Arco Oil Company continuing to make trouble, and the project will not be led by it. Besides, our company is not a pushover.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner, and after the banquet, Mutwa and his group were almost all drunk and intoxicated.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Mo Zhexuan personally met with Mutwa for a good talk and reached an agreement.
Kuvit Petroleum Co., Ltd. provided corresponding technical support and invested 100 million US dollars to hold a 10% stake, while China Gas Company invested 200 million US dollars to hold a 10% stake.
The remaining 19% of the shares will be reserved for the American Arco Petroleum Corporation. Whether or not the other party will accept it depends on their choice.
At the same time, in a presidential suite on the top floor of the State Guest Diaoyutai State Hotel, Herbert, a representative of the US Arco Petroleum Company, also learned that Kvit Petroleum Company was seeking cooperation.
Faced with such a sudden change, he instantly felt that the situation was serious. Although it was already around two o'clock in the morning in the United States, he dialed the satellite phone without hesitation.
As expected, the moment the phone was connected, a man's angry roar continued to sound, and the sound was like an angry lion wanting to eat someone.
"Herbert! I'm in a terrible mood. I hope you have good news for me, or you'll be fired like Nelson."
"President Hall! I'm so sorry to disturb your rest. I have an urgent matter and I had no choice but to call you..."
"Okay! Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what happened?"
"Here's the thing. We just learned that Kvit Petroleum Co., Ltd. is also involved in the Yacheng offshore gas field project..."
"Oh, shit! I feel terrible. If they join, it means our plan is completely ruined. This is really difficult. It's all Nelson's fault. If he had signed the contract with China National Offshore Oil Corporation earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
On the other side, in a manor on the other side of the ocean, a white man was holding a satellite phone and cursing continuously, his face full of ferociousness, like a bloodthirsty beast about to eat people.
"Oh, dear! What are you doing? Why are you not sleeping so late at night!" A blonde beauty was lying on the bed. Her snow-white skin and tall long legs were twisting and turning in the quilt like a silver snake, exuding infinite charm.
"Right now, collect all the information you need about Kvit Oil Co., Ltd.'s purpose for joining, as well as any useful information. I'll give you a reply tomorrow morning. Okay! That's it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white man hung up the satellite phone, with deep fatigue on his brow. If this matter was not handled properly, it would even affect his status. He lit a cigar, puffed out smoke, and began to think deeply.
"Honey! What's wrong with you?"
"Ah...I'm sorry to bother you with all the work. Go to sleep!"
