Chapter 329 Win-Win Cooperation
"Mr. Bertha Gall, I know that the group has been very sorry to Hutchison Petroleum Company in recent years. I understand that you want to expand the company, so this time you I support the decision, but it requires cooperation from Tianwen Oil Company!" Wei Li said.
"With the support of Mr. President, I am already full of confidence. It's time for Hutchison Petroleum Company to rise!" Bertha Garr's eyes lit up when she heard Weili's words.
As an employee in the oil industry, Bertha Gall was very concerned about the international oil situation when the international oil crisis began to break out.
Especially since the middle of last month, small-brand gas stations in Xiangjiang, Haojiang, Malaysia and other places have been forced to temporarily close due to lack of fuel.
Only large international brand gas stations with strong backends, such as Exxon Mobil gas stations and Shell gas stations, will not close gas stations, but they must also limit their supply every day.
As for Hutchison Gas Station, the supply has been very abundant these days.
Because, Hutchison Gas Station also has a backend.
Its backstage is naturally Sioux City!
Before establishing Tianwen Petroleum Company, Sioux City purchased two refineries.
The two refineries are located on Lamma Island in Hong Kong and Singapore.
After acquiring these two refineries, Sioux City has never stopped production at these two refineries.
So, where are the gasoline and diesel refined by the two refineries sold?
The answer is naturally Hutchison Petroleum Company.
Basically, the two refineries have no excess gasoline and diesel to supply to the outside world.
After all, Hutchison Petroleum Company, as a chain of 62 gas stations, consumes a lot of gasoline and diesel every day.
As a result, the gasoline and diesel refined by the Nanyang Refinery on Lamma Island have been supplied to Hutchison gas stations in Xiangjiang and Haojiang.
The gasoline and diesel refined by the Singapore Refinery are directly supplied to gas stations in Singapore and Malaysia.
It has been like this for the past few months.
Sulfur, heavy oil, paraffin, asphalt and other by-products of petroleum refining are sold to other related cooperative enterprises, and most of them are digested internally.
Asphalt, for example, happens to be sold to Hutchison Construction, which often builds asphalt roads.
Two refineries specialize in providing oil to Hutchison gas stations, and because of Tianwen Petroleum Company, the two refineries have never been short of crude oil.
So, today’s Hutchison Gas Station has become the gas station with the most stable supply in Xiangjiang, Singapore and other places.
Therefore, during this period, the 62 Hutchison gas stations can be said to be busy 24 hours a day, which has also made the company a lot of money. Hutchison Petroleum Company has made a lot of money this month. The turnover is higher than usual in half a year, and the profit has also increased several times.
As you can imagine, today's Hutchison Petroleum Company is the highlight moment since its establishment.
Under such a highlight moment, Bertha Gall is no longer satisfied with the existing scale.
He wants to expand Hutchison Petroleum Company and open more Hutchison gas stations.
After all, the company's performance is related to his salary. Only if the company makes more money, the commissions Bertha Gall will get will be more!
This is why he called Wei Li, the president of Hutchison Whampoa Group, to come here in person today.
Normally, Wei Li rarely comes to Hutchison Petroleum Company, because Hutchison Petroleum Company has a stable development and basically there is nothing that Wei Li needs to handle personally.
Hutchison Whampoa Group, after Wei Li’s massive rectification, now has more than a hundred subsidiaries. Unless it is a very important subsidiary, he will not spend a lot of time in the same company. In the subsidiary company.
“Currently, as far as I know, the two refineries of Tianwen Petroleum Company are already at full capacity, and they are still only enough to supply our gas stations. If we start to expand the gas stations, Then the refining scale of Tianwen Petroleum Company must also be expanded. Otherwise, we will not be able to make more money by expanding because there will be no more gasoline and diesel supplies!" Weili said about Hutchison Petroleum's current expansion. The biggest problem faced.
The scale of the refinery on Lamma Island itself is not very large. It is very rare to be able to supply 21 gas stations in Xiangjiang and 3 gas stations in Haojiang.
Although the refinery in Singapore is three times larger than the refinery on Lamma Island, it also supplies 12 refueling stations in Singapore. stations and 26 gas stations in Malaysia, the pressure is not much less than that of the Lamma Island Refinery in Hong Kong.
"Then what should we do? We don't know how long this oil crisis will last, so we must expand before the oil crisis is over. Otherwise, we will lose this best opportunity for expansion!" Bertha Garr said seriously.
As the helmsman of Hutchison Petroleum Company, he really does not want Hutchison Petroleum Company to miss such a good opportunity in vain.
"Well, stop what you are doing first, and I will take you to meet someone!" Wei Liang thought for a while and said directly.
"Meeting whom?" Bertha Gall asked curiously.
“See Mr. Li Yihui, the president of Tianwen Petroleum Company. When the time comes, we will discuss how to develop together. We own Hutchison gas stations, and Tianwen Petroleum Company owns the refinery. Only by working together can we Let’s grow stronger together,” Weili said with a smile.
Since gas stations are going to expand, so will refineries.
As long as Mr. Li Yihui is persuaded to start expanding the refinery, Hutchison Petroleum Company will not be afraid of running out of oil even if it continues to expand the number of gas stations.
"It's not too late, let's go find Mr. Li Yihui now!" Bertha Gall said impatiently.
Wei Li looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. He wondered if Li Yihui was in the office of Tianwen Petroleum Company.
So, he said: "I'll call him first and ask if he is there."
Bertha Gall nodded.
Wei Li called Tuen Mun directly from his office.
A minute later, Wei Li hung up the phone. Li Yihui said that he originally planned to go to the oil refinery on Lamma Island, but when he heard that Wei Li was going to Tuen Mun to find him, he simply postponed the trip.
Because to go to Lamma Island, you need to take a boat from the city.
So Li Yihui directly asked Wei Li to come to Central instead of going all the way to Tuen Mun to find him. He would meet at Hutchison Whampoa Group and discuss anything at that time.
It takes about an hour to get from Tuen Mun to Central, so Li Yihui and Wei Li made an appointment to meet at the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters at around 3:10 in the afternoon.
So, Weili took Bertha Gall and left the Hutchison Petroleum Company Building and drove directly to the Hutchison Whampoa Headquarters Building in Central.
An hour later, Li Yihui also arrived at the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters building from Tuen Mun smoothly.
