"How is the company's current operating situation?" Su Cheng took a sip from the tea cup and asked after putting it down.
“Boss, everything is going well for the company at present. After winning many oil refining companies, our strength has greatly increased. Now we are the No. 1 local oil company, although it is not as good as the top international oil companies. But it can be regarded as entering the second echelon.
The Brunei oil field has now entered a stable stage of exploitation. The crude oil extracted will be acquired by us with the help of our logistics tankers. Various oil refining companies go to refine crude oil into finished products. According to the international oil price, Brunei's part of the oil is processed by us, and finally settled in the form of cash to them, so they are currently relatively friendly towards us. The attitude between us is relatively friendly.
Due to the mutual cooperation and development with Hutchison Petroleum Company, the oil we currently refine can basically be sold without any pressure from unsalable prices. Our profits are very large. Since these experts say that the oil price may continue to fall in the future, and even return to the oil price of 12 or 13 US dollars per liter last year, we must seize this opportunity and try our best to take advantage of the oil price before it falls sharply. Earn more and accumulate our strength, so that when oil prices fall in the future, we can face it calmly.
Currently, the biggest problem facing the company is that the crude oil on your side has been sold out. After that, the supply of crude oil from the Brunei oil field has gradually failed to keep up with the refining speed of our refinery. Therefore, the petrochemical companies we acquired have not really reached the point of full production. I regret a little bit that the crude oil from you, boss It’s sold out, but if we don’t sell it, we’re afraid that oil prices will suddenly plummet.”
Li Yihui briefly reported to Su Cheng the current situation of Tianwen Oil Company and the problems it was currently encountering. At the end of the sentence, he smiled helplessly.
“Oil prices should not plummet in the short term, and will at least stabilize above 20 to 30 US dollars per liter. As for the shortage of crude oil, there is nothing I can do in the short term. To be honest, we can win Brunei. The oil field was purely an accident. If he hadn't built an oil base in Xiangjiang, Mr. MacLehose might not have told him about it. Most of the oil fields discovered now are owned by owners. Although we have also established a crude oil exploration department, But it’s hard to find crude oil now, and we don’t have the same background as Western Petroleum, so even if we find it, we may not be able to win it,” Su Cheng thought for a while and said.
The world's top oil companies, such as BP Oil Company, Exxon Mobil Oil Company, and Shell, all have political backgrounds. With the strength of the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom, after oil fields were detected overseas , bought these places at a very small price, and those small countries did not dare to have any objections.
However, Tianwen Oil Company is not good. It does not have a powerful backing. Even if it has the support of the Governor's Office of Xiangjiang, it is nothing. It is strange that others are jealous of you.
“Yes, now is a good opportunity to develop Tianwen Petroleum Company. Unfortunately, we do not have the strength. In the future, our development policy should be to refine crude oil like the one in Singapore. For finished products, we make money from the price difference. As for the oil fields, we can’t do too many oil fields ourselves like the world’s seven major oil companies. After all, we don’t have a big backend. Boss, although you have become the world’s richest man, but other companies There is a country standing behind me," Li Yihui said helplessly.
This is reality.
He was previously the Asia President of the British BP Oil Company. Naturally, he is very clear about why the British BP Company has developed into the world's top oil company. In the final analysis, it is because it is backed by Britain, a powerful country. Among those small countries , who dares not to give Britain face?
"It's okay. If we develop well in the development of finished products, we can still become the world's top oil company." Su Cheng said nonchalantly.
All roads lead to Rome, and it is not only by going to small countries to seize oil fields that they can develop into the world's top oil fields.
From Sioux City's perspective, the world's top oil companies are just robbers who bully small countries with the support of big countries. However, these world's top oil companies cannot be arrogant for long, because Suzhou City knows that the major oil producing countries will soon boycott these top oil companies.
"By the way, boss, I have something to report to you. According to the gossip I got from my friends, the world's top oil companies may suffer heavy losses." Li Yihui suddenly said.
Because it is hearsay, I am not sure yet. Li Yihui was still thinking about whether to tell Su City before. However, now that we are talking about top oil companies, Li Yihui feels that it is necessary to tell this matter to Su Cheng. Su Cheng said.
Although this is hearsay, and I don’t know whether the source of the news is accurate, Li Yihui, based on his many years of experience in the oil industry, there is a high probability that this matter will become a reality. .
In this case, speaking out and letting the boss know may lead to a better direction for the future development of Tianwen Oil Company.
"You mean, Persia is preparing to take back the mining rights of major oil fields?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
When Li Yihui talked about the current situation in Persia, Su Cheng thought of this issue. Previously, Su Cheng had learned about this information from Xiao Ai. Although it was not very detailed, it was He probably knew about such a thing and why oil prices did not fall in the later period. It was precisely because of this that he told Li Yihui that it was impossible for international oil prices to fall sharply in a short period of time.
"Huh? Boss, how do you know? If I hadn't been working in the oil industry for many years and have a lot of contacts, I wouldn't have known about this at all. I heard that the Persian interim government has asked all the top oil companies A notice was issued that all oil fields in Persia will be nationalized. This news is still confidential and is not suitable for public disclosure at the moment. When I first heard about it, I thought it was fake news," Li Yihui said in surprise.
Before, he thought that the boss didn't know. He had channels to know such gossip. The boss was not from this industry, so he shouldn't know about it.
Unexpectedly, the boss is obviously very aware of this matter.
"During the Persian Civil War, I thought about this issue. The reason why the former dynasty of Persia was overthrown seems to be because the former king of Persia betrayed his country and sought glory. He was a pro-American faction and gave up all his domestic interests to the powerful European and American countries. , and because of this, he has been opposed by many people in the country. Now, the king has been overthrown in the country. After the new government completely takes over the Persian state, it will naturally tear up all the unequal treaties signed before!" Su Cheng smiled! explained.
"Boss, no wonder you are the only one in the world who can stock up on oil in advance. With such a long-term vision, you deserve to make a lot of money!" Li Yihui said with emotion. (End of this chapter)
