Chapter 1202 Unico 2007
After accompanying Lu Hui for a few days, Xu Liang returned to the Demon City. "Mr. Xu, this is the information sent by Mr. Yang. He said that Huaxia Digital can close the Internet."
Take the information from Li Jinling and flipped it out briefly.
"Tell Lao Yang, let him do it."
"Okay."
Huaxia Digital, the plate of only 30 to 4 billion Chinese coins is not worth his attention at all times, so it is enough to hand it over to Yang Tingkun. "Mr. Xu, President Forrest will arrive in about fifteen minutes." Li Jinling reminded. "I understand." After waved his hand, Li Jinling turned around and left the study.
After pinching his eyebrows, Xu Liang got up and walked to the window.
Although it is the middle of winter, you can still see large areas of green outside the window, each with layers. A thick landscape painting is rendered under the overlap of the brown color of the trees, the blue gray of the rocks, and the azure blue of the sky.
He has bought this Yanjia Garden, which covers an area of 5,380 square meters for two years. After two years of renovating it, it has become what it is now.
At the same time, the name "Lanyuan" was changed to "Jinyuan" in the capital, and it became a place where he usually met guests.
It was not long, and when I saw it from a distance, the manor gate slowly opened and a black Mercedes-Benz drove in.
Xu Liang turned around and went downstairs.
When he arrived at the door, the car was just here.
The door opened and Andrew Forrest, wearing a well-decorated Armani suit, walked out of the car.
"BOSS, I'm so happy to see you again."
Xu Liang stepped forward and hugged, "Andrew, your Mandarin is getting better and better."
>
"Is that so? It seems that my learning achievements during this period are significant."
"Haha, not bad....Let's go upstairs."
After taking him to the study, Li Jinling brought the tea.
Xu Liang took a sip and smiled, "Is it difficult for the company?"
Although the subprime mortgage crisis has not yet fully broken out, the impact has spread. Economies in various countries around the world are declining, and demand for energy and resources is declining.
After the rapid growth in 2006 and 2007, the prices of oil and iron ore have also quickly entered a downward channel.
So global energy companies are not having a good time.
Including world-class energy and resource giants such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.
Andrew complained: "It's not just a difficult time, it's really hard. The company's revenue has dropped by 13% compared with the same period last year, and judging from the US sub-debt, the situation this year may be worse. br>
Especially, our iron ore business officially provided iron ore to customers last year. As a result, the international iron ore price fell by 11% in less than a year.
All new orders discussed earlier have been cancelled.
If the price of iron ore falls by 10%, we will lose money.
BOSS, Unicor's market value has dropped from US$44 billion at its peak to US$35.8 billion now. We must prepare more cash in advance to deal with the worse situation. "
Xu Liang smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, I know what happened to Unico, and I have already formulated a response plan. Don't worry. "
"I feel relieved after hearing what you said. ”
Andrew compliments.
Xu Liang smiled. This guy was just doing superficial skills and gave him a vaccination. Prevent the blame on Unicorn to the head if it gets worse.
"How is the project construction of the cooperation with Huahai Oil in the South China Sea?"
"It is expected that it will not be officially put into production until 2009."
Since the last time After Brazil and Huatai Oil jointly bid, there was more cooperation between Unico and Huatai Oil.
The Nanhai Natural Gas Project is one of them.
This project, located about 300 kilometers southeast of the South Island, includes three gas fields: Nanhai 3-1, Haihua 34-2 and Haihua 29-1.
The Nanhai 3-1 project is the first deep-water project in the South China Sea, with a proven natural gas reserve of 100 billion cubic meters.
After completion and production, the daily output of 8.5 million cubic meters of natural gas is equivalent to 50,000 barrels of oil.
Haihua 34-2 has a larger natural gas reserve, with a daily output of 15.27 million cubic meters of natural gas after completion, which is equivalent to 90,000 barrels of oil.
Haihua 29-1 is the smallest, with a daily output of 1.7 million cubic meters of natural gas after completion, which is about 10,000 barrels of oil.
However, the Nanhai 3-1 project, which was originally built, will be completed in 2009, and the next two will not be put into production until 2013.
Uniko holds 49% of the equity in the "product sharing contract" of the Nanhai Haihua natural gas project, responsible for operating deep water infrastructure facilities, while Huahai Oil holds 51% of the equity and responsible for shallow water facilities and the operation of onshore gas terminals. "BOSS, according to the contract, we will invest 2.7 billion Chinese currency in the 3-1 project in the South China Sea this year." Andrew reminded.
"I know. The 'Haihua Project' is our first and most important project in China. Only by developing this project can we be in the future of this 'Second Persian Gulf' Share more benefits in development.”
The South China Sea is known as the "second Persian Gulf" and contains world-class oil and gas resources. But although the South China Sea oil reserves are conservatively estimated to be as high as 23 billion tons, the optimistic estimate is even reaching 55 billion tons, and the natural gas reserves are about 16 trillion cubic meters.
It is a huge oil and gas treasure.
This is also the reason why Xu Liang is willing to take out 40 billion Huaxia coins in the face of heavy debts and win the "Haihua Natural Gas Project".
This huge gas field with detection reserves of 300 billion to 500 billion cubic meters is equivalent to adding 1.15 billion barrels of oil reserves to Unicorn.
Andrew certainly knew the importance of the South China Sea to Unico.
But the total investment in 40 billion Chinese currency is really too high.
When global energy prices were booming, he felt that this total investment of ten years was acceptable.
But when global energy and iron ore prices fell, he felt sore.
"Is there good news about the exploration in Brazil?"
"Not yet. BOSS, should you suspend exploration?"
Deep-sea exploration of more than 1,000 meters is really too expensive, and it costs tens of millions of dollars in one shot.
Spend money is still a small matter, the key is that this thing is like buying a lottery.
If you go down ten shots, you may not be able to drill a well.
Unico is better. He found an oil field with a reserve of nearly 100 million tons. Although the cost of deep-sea mining is very high, he can't make much money.
But at least it's a little rewarding.
Some oil companies such as Shell and ConocoPhillips have not yet recovered.
Compared with them, Unicor is lucky.
"Since you start, don't stop. Spending more money is better than regretting it in the future."
"In this way, Unicor may experience a high book loss this year." br>
"I will solve the losses. Your task is to maintain the normal operation of the company." Xu Liang said.
In 2008, all energy companies around the world were basically losing money, and no one could be an exception.
Even world mining giants like Rio Tinto are unwilling to agree to China Aluminum’s large-scale capital injection in order to survive, but they are too slow and have not won for a year.
In the second half of 2009, the global iron ore industry recovered, and prices soared. Rio Tinto quickly survived, unilaterally defaulted, and China Aluminum failed in the acquisition.
So the truly sad days are only about a year.
With him as a backing, Unicorn's business has no problems.
Hearing him say this, Andrew breathed a sigh of relief.
Hurriedly took out the prepared information. "BOSS, this is the operating information and financial data of Unicorn last year." Xu Liang took it.
There has been a huge change when Unicorn and him first acquired it.
When he acquired it, Unicorn had 1.76 billion barrels of oil and gas reserves in Southeast Asia, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caspian Sea, and was exploring more than 1 billion barrels of unregistered natural gas reserves.
National oil production is 160,000 barrels
National gas production is 1.73 billion [48 million cubic meters] cubic feet.
Normal today, in addition to the 1.76 billion barrels of oil and gas reserves it originally had.
In 2006, it acquired 450 million barrels of oil and gas reserves held by Sinochem Group.
In 2007, he won the "Haihua Natural Gas Project", adding 1.2 billion tons of oil and gas reserves to himself.
In addition to the newly explored Petrobras project.
Oil and gas reserves doubled to exceed 3.5 billion barrels.
When he acquired, Unicor had only five power plants in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, with a total installed capacity of 1,537 megawatts.
Now, Unicor has expanded to Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia and Australia, and the number of thermal power plants has also changed from 5 to 9, with a total installed capacity exceeding 3,300 megawatts.
Oil pipelines and gas station business. There is only one oil pipeline under Unicorn - the Thai-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline.
Uniko gas station officially entered China in 2006. Xu Liang held 51% of the shares, and Uniko, as an overseas company, held 49% of the shares. The two parties formed a joint venture to develop China's gas station business.
At present, through acquisitions and new construction, Unicor has 37 gas stations in Qilu, 41 and 29 gas stations in Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces.
The last thing is the iron ore business, which is also the pillar business outside of Unicorn oil and natural gas mining.
Currently, there is a prospecting area of 50,000 square kilometers in the Pilbara area of Australia, and 4.5 billion tons of iron ore resources are found and owned in less than 15% of the areas.
In other words, there may be more iron ore buried in 85% of the prospecting areas that have not yet been explored.
And Unicor has completed the construction of 260 kilometers of railways from Port Herb Elliott to Duanyun Mine Area, as well as development facilities such as heavy trucks, heavy dump mines, etc.
40 million tons of iron ore can be sold globally every year.
In the context of the surge in global energy and resource prices in 2007 [iron ore increased from 600 yuan/ton to 1,500 yuan/ton, crude oil increased from 50 yuan/barrel to 70 yuan/barrel, natural gas prices changed. Not big, basically maintained at US$0.33 per cubic meter].
Unicorn's total revenue in 2007 was US$21.467 billion and operating profit was US$4.54 billion.

The debt is complicated.
After he completed the acquisition for US$17 billion from the shareholders of Unicorn, he sold the company to FMG, which had not yet been renamed.
The latter of course can't afford so much money.
Xu Liang asked Hongyan to guarantee it and issued a $17 billion corporate bond to acquire Unicorn.
In other words, in 2005, Unicor carried $17 billion in foreign debt.
The interest that needs to be repaid every year alone is as high as US$1.4 billion.
In addition to the debts of Unicorn before Xu Liang's acquisition, Unicorn Resources Group's total debt was close to US$21 billion in 2005.
However, thanks to the surge in global oil prices in 2006, Unicorn made huge profits.
Although there are a lot of investments, a lot of debts have also been paid back.
In 2006 and 2007, all other than 17 billion US dollars of foreign debt were repaid under Unicorn.
In addition, there is also US$2.4 billion in cash flow in the account.
At the same time, there is a pre-tax profit of US$6.35 billion in the financial account [Zhurong Plan Share]. After paying capital gains tax, there should be about US$4.8 billion left.
The total amount of $7.2 billion in cash is enough to help Unicor survive the financial crisis in 2008.
While he was entertaining Andrew and working hard for the future development of Unicorn, he was far away in an office building in Xuzhou, Wang Xin crossed his legs and hummed a small song, silently calculating in his heart how to spend the large amount of money in his overseas bank account.
Women must be necessary.
Wangma, whether it is from the United States or Russia, has to be a few of them, and no one can stop him from learning foreign languages.
Villas must not be missing, Silicon Valley or Manhattan, you must choose carefully.
And there are yachts...
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and the huge sound interrupted his reverie.
A group of Haiding plainclothes suddenly broke into the door. "What are you doing?! Who asked you to come in?!"
The few people said without saying a word, stepped forward and twisted his hands behind him neatly.
The shining iron handcuffs reflected the sunlight outside the window, which was particularly dazzling.
Crack! "Who are you...you guys? Why should you catch me?" Wang Xin said with a stern look.
A tall and serious middle-aged man strode to him and took out a document directly.
"See clearly."
After seeing the solemn national emblem and handwriting, Wang Xin was instantly drained from his spirit.
No refutation, no struggle, and was tortured like a walking corpse.
Wang Xin and several branch executives were taken to the capital in a daze, and what awaited them would be severe punishment from the law.
After several senior executives were taken away, the Xuzhou branch was in a panic and most of the employees were in panic all day long.
However, Wang Ling quickly rushed to the Xuzhou branch with his internal audit and legal departments.
He gathered the employees together, delivered an important speech, and encouraged employees who helped Wang Xin do the wrong things to surrender.
Some people stood up and confessed on the spot, and pushed all the blame to Wang Xin.
While Wang Ling organized these middle and low-level employees who made mistakes to surrender to the relevant departments, he urged the internal audit and legal departments to cooperate with the relevant departments to investigate the entire branch and collect more evidence.
There is such a big disturbance in Xuzhou, so naturally it can't be hidden from anyone who cares. Even the media has noticed this matter, but it has been suppressed by administrative forces and is not suitable for reporting for the time being.
——
"Mr. Xu, it has been preliminary statistics that the direct economic losses caused by Wang Xin and his group to the company exceeded 50 million Chinese coins."
When Xu Liang received a call from Yang Tingkun, he was already Leaving the Demon Capital and returning to his hometown in Qingzhou.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he will definitely come back. "The amount of this crime is not small." Although 50 million is just a drizzle for him.
But for ordinary people, even many wealthy families, it is a huge sum of money.
"It's not small, I will definitely not be able to come out for a while."
Xu Liang wrote lightly: "That's not our business."
Tel The other end was silent for a while, then said, "I heard that my conscience is tied to "shaking people". They are also Haidian's enterprises, and their relationship is full of roots..."
Xu Liang smiled and said, "This You don’t have to worry about things, just cooperate with the work of relevant departments.”
As soon as Yang Tingkun's phone number was hung up, Xie Wen called again.
"Mr. Xu, this matter has become a big deal, and even Shuiguan has been involved."
Xu Liang frowned when he heard this. Shuiguan's software development has always been Huaxia Digital is undertaking.
Now this order has been transferred to Guo Wei's company, and you can think of the tricks that happened with your toes.
"You can ignore the matters in the water bureau, but Wang Xin and others must find out the bribes.
As a listed public enterprise, Huaxia Digital inexplicably lost more than 50 million yuan. This matter must be explained and compensated.
If you don’t give an explanation, Hong Kong stockholders may sue in the Hong Kong Court. At that time, the mainland companies and the public will be embarrassed. "
Xie Wen said in a deep voice: "I know what you mean, but the relevant departments expressed their meaning very tactfully. I hope we don't make it difficult for them to do it.
In addition, conscientious people are jumping up and down, relying on relationships everywhere.
In addition, it was involved in the water gate, which was another mess.
If you lose face and go to Hong Kong Island, things will become even more complicated. "
After two lifetimes, I have been accustomed to all kinds of secrets.
I also have certain expectations for the result of this treatment.
"I thank you, we It’s okay to not expand, but we have been preparing for so long and can’t even catch a big fish. What’s the point? ”
Xie Wen was silent for a moment: “You are talking about it. If we get the evidence and end up being a bit scary, then we will become a joke in the industry. ”
"That's what it means. No matter who stands up for his conscience, you don't have to worry too much. With Hongmeng's current size, no one can make us compromise!" "I understand. But the highest level may only be Guo. Wei this." Xie Wen said.
Xu Liang sighed and replied, "Although I really want to send Boss Liu, Dazhuzi and others to step on the sewing machine for a few days, it is difficult to do it based on his social reputation and status.
< Besides, they didn’t end up bare-handedly this time, and their relationship was separated by a layer.
Let’s stop here.”
Xie Wen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xu Liang would hold on and not only wanted to kill Guo Wei, but also sent the venture capital alliance and Huashan Association behind Guo Wei to the same.
Obviously, this is impossible!
It is better to cut one finger than to hurt one finger.
Sending Guo Wei in is enough to shock others.
"However, since Boss Liu, Shi Dazhu and others have jumped into this cesspool, don't think about going out cleanly."
"You...?"
"After the trial, I will dig out the list of shareholders of Guo Wei Company and let netizens see what this group of people is. They are five or six people all day long. In fact, It can't be on the table at all."
Xu Liang felt that he did not wrongly accuse Boss Liu and Shi Dazhu at all. In his previous life, the other party had joined forces with Ma Yun and others to acquire a spinach company from Israel.
I also want to send it to A-shares to go public, but I really do whatever it takes to make money.
Xie Wen smiled and said, "I agree with your idea."
