Chapter 413 Li Yihui’s Ambition
“Are you still encountering any problems now?” Su Cheng looked at the busy dock outside, and then looked at the dock under construction further away.
Although the current wharf is sufficient for the time being, when the Tuen Mun Oil Base is fully used in the future, the 50,000-ton wharf will definitely not be enough.
However, a few hundred meters to the southwest of the terminal, a crude oil terminal capable of docking two to three million tons of oil tankers has been under construction.
“The terminal under construction is very likely to be completed before the refinery at the Tuen Mun Petroleum Base is officially put into operation. By then, our oil transportation will no longer need to be transported by transshipment. It will be transported directly through Just do the work at the dock.”
When Li Yihui saw Su Cheng looking at the dock under construction, he didn't answer Su Cheng's words. Instead, he talked about the situation of the dock at the side.
"Well, this is the best. Although the transshipment method solves the current difficulties at the Tuen Mun Petroleum Base Terminal, it is still very inconvenient and causes additional waste." Su Cheng nodded.
“Boss, speaking of problems, there is one. We are transporting more and more crude oil now, so we often use tankers. But now we can only leave the transportation to transportation companies, such as Global Shipping groups, etc. In this case, handover trouble is a difficulty and high cost is also a drawback. Since our Tianwen Petroleum Company is determined to develop in the petrochemical industry, it is very necessary to have its own tanker transportation team," Li Yihui said. He realized his ambition - to build an oil tanker transportation team for Tianwen Petroleum Company.
Looking at the world's major oil companies, international petrochemical companies such as Shell, Exxon Mobil, and BP Petroleum Company all have their own fleets of oil tankers.
Li Yihui feels that since the boss Su Cheng wants to build an international oil company, he should also have his own oil tanker transportation team.
"I have considered the issue you mentioned before, building a shipping company. For this purpose, I also talked with the chartering king. He promised to sell some of their company's ships to us at a cheaper price than the market price. Therefore, There is no problem at all in setting up a shipping company to help Tianwen Oil Company," Su Cheng nodded.
“Boss, through my understanding of the shipping industry, especially from the international situation, the international shipping industry in recent years, especially this year, seems to be shrinking in size. My opinion is that the shipping industry We are about to experience a depression crisis, so although I want to build a shipping company that can help Tianwen Petroleum Company, the scale does not need to be too large, just enough." Li Yihui expressed his opinion.
He previously served as the president of BP Asia, the British oil company, so he is also very familiar with the international shipping industry.
"I'm very pleased that you have such an idea. Sure enough, you saw the right person." Su Cheng smiled and patted Li Yihui on the shoulder, very satisfied with his opinion.
This is enough to show that Li Yihui is not a person who likes success. Otherwise, he will definitely hope that the scale of this shipping company will be as large as possible.
"So, boss, do you want to hand over the task of this shipping company to our Tianwen Oil Company? I will definitely be able to manage it very well." Li Yihui said with a smile, directly stating his ambition.
In Li Yihui’s view, the current scale of Tianwen Petroleum Company is still too small, and there are too few supporting subsidiaries.
Therefore, he hoped that Tianwen Oil Company could win the transportation aspect.
Although the shipping depression will cause many shipping companies to lose money, for shipping companies in Sioux City, as long as Tianwen Oil Company operates successfully, there is no possibility of losing money.
After all, those shipping companies that are losing money do so because they have no work to do.
But their shipping companies are different. Taking on their own work is enough to support the shipping company.
“It’s not impossible, but my previous idea was to establish a separate logistics company. This logistics company is not only responsible for transporting oil, but also responsible for transporting Su Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, etc. Industry products, transport them to all over the world
You should also know about my Oracle brand experience store. Now we are constantly expanding the number of stores, so the sales of our products are also increasing, and we only pay the transportation fee. This requires a large sum of money. If we set up a shipping company, we can earn the transportation fee ourselves. Since you want to do it, I can hand over the operating rights of the shipping company to Tianwen Petroleum. company, but I hope you can really seriously develop the shipping company. Because there are too many types of products to be transported, I hope that the freight company will not only be limited to sea transportation, but also land transportation and air transportation.
Land transportation, not to mention other places, at least Xiangjiang, Haojiang, and Wanwan, we must develop it first, and then gradually expand our business overseas
For air transportation, we must first establish several routes, such as Xiangjiang to Tokyo, Xiangjiang to New York, Xiangjiang to San Francisco, Xiangjiang to London, etc. Because our product sales are good in these places, we can also transport goods as quickly as possible through air transportation. past.
So, it is not so much a shipping company, but a logistics company. If you can do it well, I hope you can develop this area. ”
What is the most lacking thing in Sioux City now? Of course it is funds.
Therefore, it is also a good time to develop logistics now.
The funds he can use , now more than 15 billion Hong Kong dollars
This money cannot always lie in the bank. This is very wasteful.
Therefore, it is better to continue investing.
Buying a ship, truck, or airplane may require a lot of funds, but for Sioux City, this amount of money is not worth mentioning.
Besides, now that Global Shipping Group wants to sell ships, it just so happens that Sioux City’s shipping company can buy their ships at the most affordable price.
As for oil tankers, a ship can be used for decades. Su Cheng doesn’t care if it is new or not, as long as it can be used, it’s not like he drives it himself.
If it was a car he drove, of course he would buy a new one.
Even for airplanes, Sioux City feels that buying second-hand ones is enough. They are just for cargo. There is no need for new airplanes. It is best to use sub-new airplanes. The ones that are too old are more than five years old in Sioux City. Will not let you buy it.
Every expensive thing is bought second-hand, so this logistics company can’t spend much money.
"Boss, I didn't expect you to think more than me. My original purpose was just to facilitate the transportation of my own oil and reduce transportation costs." Li Yihui was surprised when he heard Su Cheng's words.
"Then can you manage it well? After all, you are still responsible for developing Tianwen Petroleum Company. If you are not confident, I'd better make it independent and create another logistics company." Su Cheng asked with a smile.
"Of course, I am very confident. Although this is a big challenge for me, I am confident that I can handle it well!" Li Yihui said confidently.
