Chapter 1063 Peak Oil Theory
In addition to harvesting wealth, this theory is also a tool for hegemony.
The core is the 'zero sum game'.
For example, Obaba's words made all the rabbits hate it.
If more than one billion Chinese residents live like Australians and Americans now, then all of us will be in a very miserable situation, because that is something the planet cannot bear.
"Mr. Li also agrees with the 'peak oil theory'?" Xu Liang said calmly.
“Everything in this world is valuable, and oil is certainly the same.”
Xu Liang: “When people first discovered oil, they could only exploit those on the surface, and Oil fields less than 1,000 meters underground.
Based on the technology at that time, the oil reserves in this range were the peak.
With the advancement of oil extraction technology after World War II, Oil resources at 2,000 meters, 3,000 meters, or even deeper underground have become new exploitable oil fields, so the peak value has changed again
So peak oil itself is a variable.
What’s more, ‘shale oil technology’ is developing rapidly around the world. If oil prices continue to rise, the cost of extracting shale oil will be covered by the price.
I am afraid that the peak of oil will have to be pushed back for several decades.
At that time, whether the world still needs so much oil is another matter. "
Li Jiacheng's eyes flickered, "Xu Sheng thinks shale oil will become popular? ”
"It depends on how high the oil price will rise."
Xu Liang said with a smile.
He didn’t want to reveal too much to this old fox.
"Li Laozhen doesn't plan to sell Husky Energy? I can add some other assets."
"Oh, what assets?" Li Jiacheng became interested.
"If Mr. Li is interested, he can take 46.7% of the equity of Netcom, 18.3% of Sohu, the NBA Warriors, and Torch Group's auto parts, power tools and garden machinery businesses."
"Xu Sheng wants to sell part of the Internet Technology Company and Torch's business?"
Li Jiacheng was a little surprised.
Neither Sohu’s equity nor the NBA Warriors are mainstream companies of Xu’s, so it’s understandable to sell them.
But Wangke and Torch were somewhat beyond his expectations.
"When I was young, I was too greedy and blindly expanded horizontally. Now as the company grows and there are more and more things to do, I feel more and more unable to do what I want, so I want to sell some businesses and reduce the scale."
Li Jiacheng twitched the corner of his mouth.
How can you be embarrassed when a twenty-seven-year-old man talks about his youth in front of a ninety-year-old man?
"Xu Sheng, although you are very sincere, Husky Energy has been Hutchison Whampoa's main business for many years, and we cannot sell it."
"That is really a pity. ”
Although I didn't have high hopes at the beginning, now that I have been rejected, I feel a little regretful.
"Xu Sheng really plans to sell the Internet Technology Company?"
"Mr. Li is interested?"
"Some."
The Internet Technology Company is now It is the largest Internet cafe chain company in Asia.
After years of operation, it has nearly 3,000 directly operated Internet cafes and nearly 10,000 franchised Internet cafes in East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asian countries except India.
In addition to the Internet cafe business, Internet Technology Company, under the leadership of Sun Haizhen, also engages in 'second-hand computer retail' business.
The main purpose is to sell the old computers replaced by Japan, South Korea and China to small franchised Internet cafes in Southeast Asia, South Asia and other countries.
With retail, there is also maintenance.
Coupled with the retail business attached to the Internet cafe.
The network technology company has developed rapidly in the past two years. The total revenue in the first half of 2006 has exceeded 8 billion Hong Kong dollars, with a net profit of 1.96 billion Hong Kong dollars and a return rate of more than 20%.
The market value of Hong Kong stocks is nearly 60 billion.
Although it is not as good as those high-tech companies, it is still an excellent company with good operations and bright development prospects.
The real white horse stocks.
"If Mr. Li really wants to acquire NetTech, I can make the decision to sell it to you, but I am not short of cash, I only want assets."
"How about 20% of Hutchison Ports?"
"Not enough. Netcom's revenue this year can exceed at least HK$17 billion, and net profit exceeds HK$4.3 billion. As a blue chip stock with good development and excellent financial performance.
The valuation of 20 times net profit is very reasonable.
That is to say, 46.7% of Nettech’s equity is worth HK$40.162 billion.
In comparison, 20% of Hutchison Port Group's share price is only about HK$20 billion.
If Mr. Li wants to exchange, he must give up at least 40% of the equity of Hutchison Ports Group. "Xu Liang said with a smile.
Li Jiacheng shook his head, "Although Internet technology companies are developing well, they are not technology companies and it is impossible to obtain a 20 times net profit valuation. "
"This can be discussed, but no matter how we talk about it. A 20% stake in Hutchison Ports Group is not enough. ”
Of course Li Jiacheng doesn’t know enough.
But he can't trade too much of Hutchison Ports' stake.
Otherwise, whether Hutchison Port’s surname is Li or not is a question.
Moreover, Hutchison Whampoa's 3G telecommunications business in Europe still requires a huge amount of funds. Without Hutchison Ports' 20% equity, other assets will have to be sold off to fill the hole.
Li Jiacheng was silent for a moment.
"Xu Sheng, this matter is very important. I need time to think about it carefully."
"Of course."
"When Mr. Li thinks about it, call me at any time."
Li Jiacheng stood up.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
"I'll see you off."
After leaving Hanhua.
“Father, do you really plan to acquire NetTech?”
“This is a good company.”
“NetTech is indeed a good company, but we are now in We are trying our best to promote 3G business in Europe, but we really can’t spare more funds to acquire Nettech,” Li Zeju said.
"Let me think about it again."
...
"Mr. Xu, why is Li Jiacheng interested in Internet technology?"
"I guess he values its development prospects."
Xu Liang doesn't know either. Why.
He doesn’t need to know either.
The Li family has many assets. If he really comes up with something he is interested in, just sell it.
Although the Internet cafe business still has five or six years of good times, excluding the two years of the subprime mortgage crisis, there is not much time left.
"Is there any news about the matter you were asked to check?"
"I have checked it. There is no company called 'Rist Games' in the United States." Xu Liangliang breathed a sigh of relief.
He can plagiarize "League of Legends" unscrupulously.
There was no news for three days after Li Jiacheng left.
Xu Liang did not stay in Xiangjiang to wait for him.
He has more important things to do.

Boom...
With a deafening roar, a Boeing BBQ business jet painted with a golden roc slowly landed at the Po County International Airport.
Get off the plane.
"Brother-in-law."
Wearing a white floral T-shirt and denim shorts, Yang Mi, naked with two long white legs, rushed into Xu Lianghuai like a moth flying into a flame. inside.
Holding her slender waist, embroidered with the fragrance of a beautiful lady's bun, Xu Liang put her down with a smile.
After one year of studying at Peking University, she transferred from Peking University to the National University of Singapore according to Xu Liang's arrangement.
This is just my sophomore year.
In addition to studying, I also interned within the Taihua Group.
“Where is your sister?”
"She's at home. My uncle and aunt didn't let her come."
Xu Liang nodded. An Kaiyue's second child has reached the due date. Xu Yongpei and Wang Lingxiang arrived in Singapore half a month ago.
“Let’s go home.”
The motorcade left the airport.
Back to No. 33 Nathan Road.
He has lived in this luxurious manor covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters for more than five years.
Every plant and tree is familiar.
Enter the house.
“Dad!”
Xu Sanbao, who was already two and a half years old, suddenly dropped the Transformer in his hand, flew towards Xu Liang with his two short legs flying.
He quickly knelt down and picked him up.
Rubbing her son's little head affectionately.
“Do you miss daddy?”
“Yes.”
“Dad misses you too.”
After kissing his son's tender and smooth face a few times, he turned to look at the family members walking over.
An Kaiyue, with her big belly, walked in the front, and she was very fast.
“Kaiyue, slow down.”
Wang Lingxiang and mother-in-law Yao Lifei said quickly.
“Mom, it’s okay.”
Before An Kaiyue could finish her words, her expression suddenly changed.
The whole person froze.
Xu Liang quickly stepped forward to support her.
"What's wrong?"
"Dear, I seem to be giving birth." An Kaiyue said slowly.
"What?!"
The two dads and the two moms exploded.
Wang Lingxiang pushed her son away.
He worked with his in-laws and mother to help her sit down.
The medical team prepared in advance quickly got a cart and took An Kaiyue to the hospital.
After struggling for a long time, Xu Liang got another son.
Looking at the little guy surrounded by his two parents and Xu Sanbao.
Xu Liang said with a smile: "This brat is really impatient. He ran out as soon as I came here."
An Liangyue, who was holding his hand, sat on the head of the bed.
Having given birth once before, she had a smooth delivery this time.
When I was sent to the hospital, my pelvis had been opened two fingers, and I was given anesthesia and pushed directly into the delivery room.
It was over in less than an hour.
Because it was a natural birth, except for some physical weakness, there were basically no major problems.
"He also wants to see his father." An Kaiyue's pretty face showed happiness.
“By the way, did my dad name him?”
Nowadays, Xu Yongpei basically decides on the names of the children of the old Xu family.
"Dad picked it up when he first came here.
My real name is Xu Wenwen, and my mother gave me the nickname 'Sparkling'."
"One Shine Jingjing?" Xu Liang said with a smile.
“Yes, if it’s a girl, her nickname would be ‘Xingxing’.”
Xu Liang: "Xingxing sounds more like a boy's name than Twinkle."
"Let her be happy and call her 'Xingxing' when our third son is born." An Kaiyue said with a smile.
As a smart woman, she knew she wanted to catch the father.
In addition to grabbing his stomach, there are more children waiting.
Children are the bond of family ties between husband and wife.
Therefore, she is not against having children at all, and even wants to have more children.
With the conditions at home, both her body and the children can be raised well.
“Then it’s best to have a boy and a girl. The boy is called ‘Xingxing’ and the girl is called ‘Jingjing’.” Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Liangzi, come and see your son, he looks exactly like you."
My mother greeted me.
Patted An Kaiyue's hand, "I'll go take a look."
"Yes."
After staying in the hospital for a day, An Kaiyue went home.
The infirmary environment at home is better than here, and she also has her own medical team.
