Reborn Resource Tycoon

After staying in Fengyuan for three days, Belevsky and his son visited Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company and Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd., and then returned to Moscow on the special plane provided by Fang Mingyuan.After arriving at Moscow International Airport, Belevsky and his son were sent directly to the Kremlin by the convoy that had already been waiting there, where the Russian President was waiting for his return.

"It seems that this trip to China has achieved good results!" Seeing Belevsky walk into the office, Russian President Sergei Vadimovich Stepashin stood up and laughed road.

"Your Excellency, this time, there are still some tangible results." Belevsky also smiled, "It's not a waste of time, Fang, let me say hello to you for him."

The president showed a knowing smile. There are some things that everyone knows, I know, God knows, and God knows. There is no need to say it. This made him let go of a big stone in his heart-with sufficient financial support and publicity , To realize his re-election for the second term, now it seems that it should not be a big problem.

The two sat down separately, and the president asked with a smile, "Fang, are you satisfied with the gift you brought? Do you have any thoughts that you need to answer." He still had a good impression of Fang Mingyuan.Although the share of Fangjia Capital in the Russian economy is constantly expanding, this has strongly supported the recovery of the Russian economy.If there is no entry of Fangjia capital, Russia's economic situation may be even worse today.What satisfies him most is that Fangjia Capital is very interested in making money in Russia, but when their interests are not involved, they never dictate to the Russian government.Compared with those companies and banks in Western countries, this naturally satisfies the Russians.

and.The Fang family has also played a considerable role in promoting the trade between Russia and China. The Carrefour Group is located in major cities in Russia.There are already branches. Although there is still a significant gap between the main store and China's domestic stores, it has become the country with the most overseas stores of the Carrefour Group. Carrefour Supermarket has also become a reliable channel for Russians to buy Chinese products. .It is China's continuous import of a large number of light industrial commodities into Russia, which has suppressed the rapidly rising prices in Russia that were almost rolling over!Although the Chinese have also made huge profits from it, the Russians have to admit that without Chinese imports, their life will be even more difficult.

"The stake in Gazprom is interesting, but I think he won't accept a puppet status if the stake is too small to give him enough voice on the board. "Old Belevsky said bluntly, "Moreover, for the price settlement of natural gas, he rejected the pricing policy linked to oil prices." The pricing policy linked to natural gas and oil prices.It is a pricing method generally adopted by Gazprom to export natural gas to Europe. The natural gas price adjustment is linked to the market price of diesel oil, high-sulfur and low-sulfur heavy fuel oil by percentage, and then adjusted according to the "transfer factor". price, risk sharing.

The president couldn't help but frown. This pricing method is also the main pricing method for Gazprom's exports, and European countries generally accept this pricing method.

"Then he means..." The president thought for a while before saying. "Want to adopt the pricing method of natural gas imported from Japan?" Your Excellency the President is not a professional after all.As for the pricing of natural gas in the international market, he only roughly knows that there are several ways.

"The pricing method linked to the weighted average price of imported crude oil in Japan. Fang also does not want to adopt it. He believes that it is impossible to adopt a standard price for natural gas and liquefied natural gas transported by pipeline." Belevsky shook his head.

"Then how does he want to set the price?" Your Excellency the President was also scratching his head.

"Fang means that to lay a natural gas pipeline to Huaxia, it may cost billions or even tens of billions of dollars. Even if we are not responsible for the domestic part of Huaxia, and the share in Mongolia, then the part that we are responsible for, Russia Does Gazprom have enough funds?" asked Belevsky.

The president's eyes lit up again. There was something in Fang Mingyuan's words. He couldn't help but recall that when the China-Russia oil transportation pipeline was built, the Fang family paid for the construction, and then the Russian side exported oil to pay off the debt.The Fang family's funds at that time really helped Russia's finances.

"Although Gazprom has ample liquidity, it also needs a lot of investment to develop domestic oil and gas fields. If Fang can provide sufficient funds...that would be great," the president said. .Russia's current economic situation is not good, and domestic funds are everywhere. If the funds for the construction of natural gas pipelines can be solved together, that would be a great result.

"Fang means that they can provide funds for the construction of natural gas transportation pipelines, but we need to repay this debt with exported natural gas in the future. The price of natural gas can be increased by 5.00% compared with the purchase price of natural gas in Belarus. " said Belevsky.

"What?" the President said, startled.He simply wondered if he had heard it wrong. It wasn't that the price Fang Mingyuan proposed was high, but that the price was far lower than he expected.Belarus is the country that enjoys the lowest price among the countries that Gazprom exports to!It is more than half the price of natural gas purchased by European countries.There are many reasons why Belarus can obtain such cheap natural gas.Fang Mingyuan actually asked Huaxia to purchase natural gas at the same price as Belarus, which is really too cruel.

"You heard me right. Compared with the purchase price of natural gas in Belarus, it can be increased by 5.00%!" Belevsky repeated, "Fang believes that considering the large one-time investment in the construction of natural gas transportation pipelines, and the current domestic natural gas in China The demand is not very large. If the cost cannot be suppressed, the imported natural gas will be sold at Huaxia’s domestic sales price, and he will suffer serious losses. Your Excellency, what Fang said is indeed the truth. The price of natural gas in China has not yet been lowered by the government. Well, the excessively high import price plus the cost of pipeline transportation and other expenses will result in more imports and greater losses. I will hand over the detailed information to you later."

The president groaned. This is indeed a dilemma. From the perspective of Gazprom, it is natural that such a result is not expected, which means that their export profits will be greatly reduced.From Fang Mingyuan's point of view, it is naturally impossible to accept that the more imports, the greater the loss.Private companies do not have a state treasury to back them up.

"Your Excellency, I personally think that this price request is still acceptable." Belevsky said, "First, we can save the cost of laying domestic natural gas pipelines and invest our urgently needed funds in more urgent needs. Second, we can get rid of the debt of 40 billion US dollars that is about to mature. If we can’t lay this transportation pipeline, it’s hard to say how much enthusiasm Fang still has for the shares of Gazprom. And it is difficult for us to apply for new loans; thirdly, we still have a good profit at this price, but compared with Europe, it is far worse. But considering that the demand for natural gas in Europe has reached its peak , if there is no new technology, it is impossible to have a big increase, and we need to have bigger and more export markets to ensure that we have enough foreign exchange income!"

The president nodded. Belevsky was telling the truth. The weak Russian economy can only rely on exporting resources and arms to earn the precious foreign exchange it needs. Just think about Russia's poor foreign exchange reserves. And with that huge debt, Your Excellency the President felt dizzy twice!God only knows when another economic crisis will break out. If Russia's foreign exchange reserves cannot be increased and debts reduced in a timely manner, Russia will definitely become a miserable unlucky egg again.

"Fourth, it is better for us to negotiate with the Fang family than with the Huaxia government. If we say that we cannot reach an agreement with the Fang family, then we can only deal with Huaxia's state-owned oil companies. A marathon negotiation, and as long as we reach an agreement with the Fang family, I think the project will start soon, and I think the Huaxia government will be more receptive to this result. This project is very important for stimulating our country's current economy , will also play an important role; Fifth, Fang promised that at this price, he only asked to officially supply gas to China for ten years, or after we have repaid all the loans and due interest, the two parties can renegotiate the new agreement. The price settlement formula." Belevsky continued.

The president's brows stretched out. The settlement method proposed by Fang Mingyuan is not permanent and can be adjusted in the future, so it will be easier for him to accept it psychologically.A natural gas pipeline can normally be used for 50 to 60 years, and there is still enough time for Gazprom to make profits from China.Although it is a bit like the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade, we can also explain to the Chinese people.

But... If he knew that the price of crude oil in the international market would be close to 150 US dollars per barrel in the future, he would definitely not think so! (to be continued~^~)
