Sitting in the auction hall, Chen Ruoling said to Yang Fei: "What we want to auction is the No. 5 oil block." This is the sea area that has been explored for oil reserves. ”

Yang Fei said: "The block you can fancy must not be wrong." ”

Chen Ruoling said: "The starting price is 100 million US dollars, and every time you raise a card, the price will increase by 1 million US dollars. ”

"Normally, what is the transaction price of a block like this?" Yang Fei asked.

"160 million, up to 200 million. There are no more than 200 million oil blocks yet. ”

"Really? 200 million US dollars, that's 1.6 billion yuan. The funds we raised in the early stage were only 1 billion, which is obviously less. ”

"Money is not a problem, how much money is auctioned, and then the shares will be calculated proportionally. One billion dollars is definitely far from enough. ”

As he spoke, the auction of the No. 5 oil block officially began.

Yang Fei paid attention to it, and there were not many people at the scene.

In fact, there are only so many international companies that have the strength to come to Africa to exploit oil fields, and among them, European and American oil companies are the mainstay.

In addition, South Korea and India have also entered Africa to pan for gold.

The starting price of 100 million, plus 1 million for the sign, the settlement currency is the US dollar.

Yang Fei, Chen Shaohua and others were very calm and let others bid.

There were more than a dozen companies bidding on the spot.

The auction price quickly rushed to $150 million.

Chen Shaohua was very calm and did not raise his card.

Soon, the price rushed to 165 million.

There are significantly fewer people holding signs.

Only two European and American companies still have their cards.

"180 million!" The price is finally about to top.

No one bids anymore.

It seems that everyone has a clear understanding that this oil block can only give such a high price.

Just when everyone thought that they were going to make a deal for 180 million, Chen Shaohua raised his card.

The representative of the European oil company was a big white fat man, who was afraid that he weighed more than 300 pounds! He glanced at Chen Shaohua, shrugged his shoulders with a cold face, and then continued to hold up his card.

The white fat man and Chen Shaohua, one after another, the tug-of-war between the two soon raised the price to 190 million.

There was a heated discussion at the scene.

Yang Fei vaguely heard someone talking in English, saying where did the Asians run out? Why break the rules!

I also heard someone say that this is not Korean, nor Indian, but mostly Chinese.

Everyone was surprised that the Chinese and Europeans were bidding for the oil fields.

The oil resources on this side of the Gulf of Guinea are almost all monopolized by Europeans and Americans.

The Chinese rarely set foot in this area.

Because many of the African countries here are pro-American.

The Sultan was also pro-American before.

In 1975, several Western oil companies, including Chevron of the United States, successively obtained concessions for oil exploration and exploitation in Sudan, earning a large amount of oil revenue.

Many people are familiar with the grievances between the United States and Sudan, and it is precisely because of the abstention of the United States that China has been given the opportunity to hold on, and thus it has obtained the right to exploit 40% of Sudan's oil resources.

As for the cause of the sanctions, it is because after the outbreak of the Sudanese civil war, three employees of the American Chevron company were killed by guerrillas, and the company completely withdrew from Sudan, and the United States immediately launched international sanctions against Sudan for 20 years.

Both the divided North and South Sudan are among the poorest and least developed countries. According to statistics, about 90% of South Sudan's population has an average daily income of less than US$1, half of the population struggles to meet the food and clothing line, and the infrastructure is very poor.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph "Hungry Sudan" shows a starving Sudanese girl about to be preyed upon by a vulture and is very shocking.

It can be seen from this that the exploitative nature of the capitalists is fully revealed.

In addition to Sudan, the Gulf of Guinea region is also rich in oil production.

However, the resources here are basically monopolized by Europeans and Americans.

Today, when they suddenly saw Chinese people participating in the bidding for oil blocks, Europeans and Americans felt incredible, and some people even began to insult angrily.

The price of block 5 was raised to 200 million by Chen Shaohua!

Previously, the auction price of all the oil blocks in this area did not exceed 200 million!

When Chen Shaohua raised the card again, the white fat man obviously hesitated.

There is really no need to bid any further!

The Gulf of Guinea is rich in oil resources, with more than 200 million blocks, all of which are driving up prices.

However, Westerners look down on Orientals from the bottom of their bones.

There is a famous metaphor that the rich in the West would rather pour milk into the ditch than leave it for the poor.

The white fat man obviously thinks the same way, and would rather buy this oil block at a high price, even if it doesn't make money, he can't let the Chinese get in on his feet!

So, after a little hesitation, the white fat man raised his card again.

You chase after me, don't admit defeat to each other!

The price of the No. 5 oil block was raised by 300 million US dollars!

Yang Fei looked at the calm Chen Shaohua and thought to himself that this person is really courageous!

When the price exceeded 350 million, the whole audience was boiling!

At the normal price, 350 million is enough to buy two identical oil blocks!

Yang Fei knows that whether it is Chen Shaohua or Bai Fat, he is not only competing for an oil block, but also competing and fighting!

You don't want me to get it, I want to get it!

You want to take it down with all your heart, and I want to obstruct it!

Just like gamblers, when the blood is boiling, people are already sensible, even if they bet everything, they just want to fight for one win!

After the white fat man raised the card again, Yang Fei suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Shaohua's right wrist.

"What are you doing?" Chen Shaohua sighed, "Let go of your hand!"

Yang Fei said: "Don't bid anymore!

"Why should we give up?" Chen Shaohua was really on fire, "Even if it rushes to 400 million US dollars, I will take it down!"

Yang Fei said: "At this price, we can get two blocks! ”

"Then he should give up first!" Chen Shaohua said, "I must win him!"

"Hua Shao! We are businessmen, what do businessmen pay attention to? You don't know, do you? Winning or losing for a while doesn't mean anything!"

"Hehe, if you're afraid that you can't afford it, you can take a smaller share!

Yang Fei said: "Hua Shao, listen to me, let's give up this block and fight for the next block!"

"Why do you say that?" Chen Shaohua said, "It's too late, I want to raise the card!"

Yang Fei held down his wrist and didn't let him raise the card.

Chen Ruoling said: "Brother, I believe in Yang Fei." His judgment will not be wrong. ”

At this moment, the auctioneer announced that the white fat man had successfully won the No. 5 oil block at a price of $351 million.

The white fat man proudly gestured his middle finger at Chen Shaohua.

Chen Shaohua said hatefully: "Made, let that dead fat man succeed!" Yang Fei, are you eating inside and out, why are you helping them?"

Yang Fei said in a deep voice: "There is a gift to gain! Hua Shao, believe me, I will definitely take down the No. 6 block! And the price will definitely not be too high!"

"You're so confident?"

"I believe in myself!"

"Okay, I'll believe you again, if you can't take it, we'll break up!"
