Chapter 101 Do you want equity in Wharf?
After handing over the follow-up matters of Jiayi TV Station to Yang Chaoye, one day later, Su Cheng received news from the charter king. He had already calculated the quantity of crude oil that could be sold everywhere and the lowest price. .
Without saying anything, Su Cheng went directly to the headquarters of the Global Shipping Group, the charter king.
The 18th floor of Wheelock Building in Hong Kong is the reception room of the famous shipping king Bao Yugang at the headquarters of Global Shipping Group.
The spacious reception room looks to be at least over 300 square meters in area.
However, it doesn't look empty inside and is very beautifully decorated.
The chandelier on the top is very luxurious.
Looking out of the building from the reception room, you can see the prosperity on both sides of Victoria Harbor.
In the front of the reception room, there are two independent sofa chairs.
There are also more than a dozen sofa chairs placed against the walls on both sides, with a beautiful bonsai tree placed between each sofa chair.
On the wall in front of the reception room, large photos of the Charter King meeting with dignitaries from various countries are particularly eye-catching.
These dignitaries even include the President of the United States, the Queen and Prime Minister of England, the President of France, etc.
This shows how high the status of the Charter King is in the world!
Standing in the living room and looking at these photos, Su Cheng felt hot in his heart, and at the same time he had an additional goal. He would also build a background wall like this in his own living room in the future. It was really powerful. Show your identity.
“With Mr. Su’s current ability, it will be easy for him to have a status like mine in the future. However, Mr. Su is still young and his fame is still on the rise. In two or three years, the whole world will know that you, the super If you become rich, you will be respected wherever you go, like me." Seemingly seeing through Su Cheng's thoughts, the chartering king said with a smile.
The Charter King has been in business for many years, and his assets and reputation have been accumulated step by step.
Unlike Sioux City, it is like a nouveau riche. He was originally unknown and then suddenly appeared.
"I still have to learn more from Mr. Bao." Su Cheng replied humbly.
After the two sat down, a receptionist came in and poured a cup of tea for each of them, while placing the teapot on the warmer in the middle.
"Go out first, you don't need to pour tea here." The chartered boat king motioned for the meeting to go out.
After all, we are talking about important things, and seeing that we won’t let an ordinary employee serve here.
"Okay, Mr. Chairman, call me if you need anything." The beautiful receptionist respectfully exited the reception room.
After the conference lady closed the door, the chartering king handed a piece of paper directly to Su Cheng, and then said: "This is the information I got after consulting the heads of governments of various countries. I thought it would be impossible to gather it together. That’s a lot of crude oil, but I didn’t expect their inventory to be unexpectedly large.”
Su Cheng took the paper and read it.
Kuwait has 25 million barrels of crude oil available for sale at a price of US$12 per barrel;
Saudi Arabia can sell 38 million barrels of crude oil at a price of US$12 per barrel;
The United Arab Emirates can sell 15 million barrels of crude oil at a price of US$12 per barrel;
Venezuela can sell 18 million barrels of crude oil. , the price is US$12 per barrel;
Iraq, the crude oil can be sold at 32 million barrels, the price is US$12 per barrel;
The Maple Leaf Country, the crude oil can be sold at 34 million barrels, the price is US$11 per barrel;
Brunei can sell 8 million barrels of crude oil at a price of US$10.5 per barrel; Oman can sell 13 million barrels of crude oil at a price of US$10.5 per barrel;
The United Kingdom can sell 26 million crude oil. barrel, the price is 11 US dollars per barrel;
Brazil, 28 million barrels of crude oil can be sold, the price is 11 US dollars per barrel;
……
Behind each country, there are contact information for the relevant departments in their country.
It can be seen from the information on the paper that in addition to the United States, China and the Soviet Union, the charter king has asked almost all of the world's more than a dozen major crude oil producing countries.
The final estimate of crude oil that can be sold immediately has reached nearly 200 million barrels.
Furthermore, Sioux City has also discovered a phenomenon: the oil prices of OPEC members are higher than those of non-OPEC members, basically benchmarking against international oil prices.
“In fact, the international demand for crude oil has remained very stable since the last oil crisis, and these oil-producing countries usually produce more crude oil than the demand. This means Will lead to overproduction of crude oil.
Some crude oil producers even directly put the produced crude oil on a very large crude oil carrier and let it anchor on the sea. After the crude oil of this ship is sold, the crude oil ship will sail directly to the buyer's place, such as , we currently have more than 20 very large crude oil carriers chartered by these oil-producing countries to store crude oil. "
While Su Cheng was looking at the information, the Charter King also said on the side.
"Mr. Bao, thank you so much. I made a rough budget and I should buy it. 170 million barrels of crude oil. After I confirm the final list of partners and reach a deal with them, I will have to trouble your Global Shipping Group. "Su Cheng said with a smile.
He is very satisfied with this information sheet.
As for whether the charter king makes money in the process, he doesn't care. These prices are still quite satisfactory. Yes, even if you want to earn the middle price, you won't earn much. The charter king shouldn't do these things for that small amount of money.
He made some rough calculations and found that buying 170 million barrels of crude oil was most appropriate.
The funds in his hands are almost 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is about 2.1 billion US dollars when converted into US dollars (the current exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and US dollars is about 4.7 to 1), and the funds for 170 million barrels of crude oil are about 2 billion The remaining US$100 million can be used to pay for oil tanker freight and build oil storage tanks, reserves, etc.
So, the crude oil information that the charter king gave him this time was a treasure to him.
This friend, the Charter King, is so useful and worth keeping!
“This is not a trouble. Our Global Shipping Group wishes we could always have such cooperation. If Mr. Su has any questions in the future, you can contact me at any time. I still have a relatively good relationship with the leaders of these countries. "The chartered boat king laughed.
"Okay, if there are any questions, I will contact Mr. Bao at any time. I hope Mr. Bao won't mind me being troublesome." Su Cheng also nodded with a smile.
Next, the two of them changed the topic from crude oil to other places.
"By the way, Mr. Bao, how is your situation at Wharf now?" Su Cheng suddenly asked.
The competition between Charter King and Jardine Matheson has been going on for more than two months, and I think it has begun to take shape.
After all, in this world, due to the influence of Suzhou City, the equity structure of Wharf is completely different from the historical trend of the previous life.
With the help of Sioux City and Huifeng Bank, I believe that it is only a matter of time before the charter king takes over Wharf.
“We have basically taken the initiative in Wharf. You might as well tell Mr. Su that just yesterday, with the help of Mr. Shen Bi, the two shareholders of Wharf holding a total of 8.5% of the shares have reached an agreement. If the Wharf stock in my hand exceeds 40%, it is basically impossible for Jardine to compete with me." Speaking of this, the chartering king smiled all over his face.
In order to win the Wharf, the charter king spent a lot of money during this period. Not only did he spend all his working capital, he also borrowed a sum of money from Huifeng Bank, but his hard work paid off. , he also realized his wish and was finally about to win the Wharf.
The next thing is very simple. Continue to negotiate with Jardine. When Jardine finds that it can no longer control Wharf, it will definitely withdraw from Wharf.
"Mr. Su, do you want the equity in Wharf?" Suddenly, the chartering king seemed to have made up his mind and asked Su Cheng.
