Chapter 328 Hutchison Oil Company
Su Cheng was not very happy when he heard Li Yihui's words on the phone.
What he actually wants to do is keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly.
However, in reality, when he is at this point, it is really difficult to keep a low profile.
So, exposure is a matter of time.
Now that things have come to this, Su Cheng cannot change the status quo and can only accept it.
He owns 170 million barrels of crude oil, which will be sold sooner or later.
Even if Sioux City’s other industries are not taken into account, just the value of crude oil, Sioux City is destined to become famous all over the world.
Unless he never sells.
But, if you don’t sell it, what’s the point of hoarding this crude oil?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Su Cheng silently accepted the reality.
After that, he gained another title of "the richest man in the world".
Actually, when I think about it, it's quite good. In his previous life, he was just a poor boy. Within a few years of coming to this world, he has transformed from a rich second generation to recognized as the richest man in the world.
Human life is short, isn’t it just about pursuing fame and fortune?
Now that he has gained both fame and fortune, he should be happy.
After hanging up the phone from Li Yihui, Su Cheng sat on the sofa in a daze, worried about the outcome.
Gillian and Amei saw that Su Cheng was worried, so they each walked behind Su Cheng, one on each side, and pinched Su Cheng's shoulders.
Since the most intimate contact that night, Gillian and Amei have completely regarded themselves as women from Su City.
In the past few nights on Lamma Island, Su Cheng and Gillian Amei lived a very comfortable life, riding dragons and phoenixes.
As long as they serve the young master well, they will not have to worry about money in the future.
Seeing the two people silently squeezing their shoulders, Su Cheng smiled and said to them: "You guys come in front."
Gillian and A Mei obediently obeyed Su Cheng's words and walked up to Su Cheng. .
Su Cheng hugged them and made them sit down with one thigh at a time.
Holding two beauties with stunning figures, this is probably the enjoyment of an emperor!
"Master, when will we go back?" Gillian asked in a sweet voice.
A Mei also looked at Su Cheng.
Su Cheng and others have been on Lamma Island for four days.
In these four days, they lived a very comfortable life. They went fishing every day, enjoyed the sea view, and occasionally climbed mountains.
Sioux City has never even been to the Nanyang Oil Refinery, which is just around the corner, so I just treat this time as a vacation to relax.
But after all, we are on an island, and the ultraviolet rays are relatively strong. Both Gillian and Ami are beauty lovers. They feel that their skin has tanned a lot in the past few days.
Therefore, Gillian and Ami already wanted to go back.
However, Su Cheng decides when to go back, not them, so they can only ask Su Cheng.
"Let's give it a few days. Xiangjiang has not been very peaceful these days. Why, are you tired of staying here and don't think it's fun?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
"No, as long as you stay with the young master, you will never get tired of being there." Gillian shook her head and denied.
"If you don't want to go out in the remaining days, just stay in the villa." Su Cheng felt that they were tired of playing, so he said directly.
This is exactly what Gillian and Mei want. The days on Lamma Island consisted of nothing more than fishing in the sea and going up the mountain to watch the sunset and sunrise. For Gillian and Mei, there seemed to be nothing interesting about them.
They were born in coastal cities and have little yearning for the sea.
It would be fine if it was summer, and you could still swim and surf in the sea, but now it is November. It is a bit cold when you go to the sea, and it is easy to catch a cold. In this place, if you catch a cold or have a fever, you have no choice but to go back. .
……
At the same time, there is a 9-storey building near the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel in Causeway Bay.
Outside this building, there is a very large recruitment sign that says "Hutchison Petroleum Heung Kong Co., Ltd."
Here is Hutchison Petroleum, a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa and is mainly engaged in the petroleum retail industry.
Hutchison Petroleum was founded in 1974 after the first world oil crisis and has grown very rapidly.
Today, it has more than 60 gas stations in Xiangjiang, Singapore, Haojiang and Malaysia, with considerable profits every year. It is one of the better developed subsidiaries of the Hutchison Whampoa Group.
Among these more than 60 gas stations, there are 21 gas stations in Xiangjiang, 12 gas stations in Singapore, 3 gas stations in Haojiang, and 26 gas stations in Malaysia. The total number has reached 62. In terms of scale, It is a very good gas station chain brand.
Among these 62 gas stations, two of them are very large, one is the Hutchison gas station located at Wharf Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the other is the Hutchison gas station located at Kwai Chung Container Terminal. .
These two gas stations are different from those that refuel motor vehicles. They only refuel ships, so the amount of refueling is very large.
As one of the central cities in the world's shipping industry, Xiangjiang has a lot of giant ships coming and going every day.
After these giant ships arrive in Hong Kong, they usually dock at the Wharf Wharf in Tsim Sha Tsui and the Kwai Chung Container Terminal which was just built a few years ago.
Hutchison Petroleum originally set up gas stations at these two ports in order to successfully bid for them, but it cost a very high price.
However, all of this is now cheaper for Sioux City. They are now Sioux City’s industries.
At this time, on the fifth floor of this office building, in the office of the general manager of Hutchison Petroleum, Wei Li, the president of Hutchison Whampoa Group, and a middle-aged man were discussing things.
The general manager of Hutchison Petroleum is a middle-aged foreigner named Bertha Garr. He was poached from Exxon Mobil Xiangjiang Branch after Qi Dezun, the former boss of Hutchison Company, founded Hutchison Petroleum. Came here.
"Mr. President, this is a good opportunity for our Hutchison Petroleum Company to rise. We must not miss this opportunity!" Bertha Gall said seriously after taking a sip of coffee.
Although Hutchison Petroleum Company has a good scale and good annual profits, its development has always reached a bottleneck.
Because, although Hutchison Petroleum Company had considerable profits every month, Hutchison International's finances were very poor. Therefore, almost all the profits made by Hutchison Petroleum Company were used by the head office. Used to offset other expenses.
Such a result has naturally resulted in Hutchison Oil Company being unable to expand.
For this reason, Bertha Gall, as the general manager, has repeatedly opposed the group's blood-sucking behavior at Hutchison Whampoa Group meetings, but unfortunately it was of no use!
So, Bertha Gall even lost confidence in Hutchison Petroleum for a time, feeling that Hutchison Petroleum had no development potential.
Two years ago, Hutchison Petroleum Company owned a chain of 62 gas stations.
Today, two years later, Hutchison Petroleum Company still only has 62 chain gas stations.
It can be said that the development of Hutchison Gas Station is really stagnant!
As the general manager of Hutchison Petroleum Company, seeing the company's situation, he naturally wanted to find ways to change it.
But before, the overall situation had to be the top priority, so as the general manager of a branch, there was nothing he could do about it.
Now, as Hutchison Whampoa becomes stronger and stronger, the group no longer needs to draw money from Hutchison Petroleum Company in the past few months.
As a result, Bertha Gall's ambitions revived again.
