I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island
Chapter 523: [Joint oil refinery]
Chapter 523【Joint Oil Refinery】
Wu Guangyao walked out of the bedroom refreshedly and came to the dining room;
The eyes of a group of flight attendants always inadvertently stayed on Zhao Yazhi behind Wu Guangyao. Zhao Yazhi calmed down, and then took the initiative to walk to the flight attendant Zhang Xiaoxia.
"Crew chief, the boss is going to have a meal, I will prepare!"
Zhang Xiaoxia retracted her gaze, and said intimately: "Well, I'll be with you!"
Zhao Yazhi's face blushed. What does the flight attendant mean?
Is it a woman who thinks she has really become the boss?
But the two obviously didn’t do anything, but the boss’s arms are really comfortable!
The plane has a separate kitchen, so all meals on the plane are cooked fresh;
Of course, airplane meals are mainly Western-style, such as fried steak and seafood.
Arrived in London, Kayla came to pick up the plane;
At this time, Wu Guangyao’s only woman in London was Kayla, Mrs. Sarton led her children to immigrate to Switzerland, and Chris settled in the United States;
As for the two twin sisters, Wu Guangyao is no longer interested, so he chose to let them go;
It can be said that these two sisters followed Wu Guangyao, it was their blessing for several lifetimes, and it completely changed their destiny.
got a British household registration, received higher education, and also received a large break-up fee.
"How is the experience of a private jet?" Kayla asked curiously when they met.
Wu Guangyao hugged Kayla into the car and said with a smile: "Naturally it is very good. You can also buy one. Anyway, you can take a loan. It doesn't take much cash flow!"
Kayla has a lot of money, just Metro retail market value is 4 billion US dollars;
And Kayla owns 30% of the shares, that is, the net worth of 1.2 billion US dollars;
McDonald’s is also listed in the United States, with a market value of up to 1 billion US dollars;
Kayla owns 35% of the shares, which is a net worth of 350 million US dollars;
In addition to other miscellaneous investments, 1.6 billion US dollars worth of wealth is in order.
"Forget it, this time you go back to Hong Kong Island. I will just sit with you once. You can also visit my mother and sister. Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"
Wu Guangyao was taken aback, this woman is so smart, how does she know that her private jet is tricky?
Wu Guangyao righteously said: "It's very convenient, I have no secrets with you!"
Kayla smiled slightly, without exposing Wu Guangyao, holding her own man in her arms, her eyes full of love and permissiveness.
After a day's rest, Wu Guangyao brought his team to the headquarters of BP Petroleum.
Brown, the president of BP Oil Company, is an old acquaintance of Wu Guangyao. After all, BP Oil Company is a major customer of global shipping.
Brown also took a few senior executives and formally met Wu Guangyao and his party in the conference room.
"Mr. Wu, in principle, there is no problem with the technology transfer of the refinery! But you also know that we also have a large refinery in Singapore; if the technology is transferred to you, would it not be a commercial duplication, a new refinery? It has also become our competitor!" Brown knew Wu Guangyao was here for a long time, so he said first.
Wu Guangyao smiled contemptuously, what is this for?
Using the refinery technology to do a good job, this level is too low!
Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "For European and American oil companies, the technology of the oil refinery is not for sale. Instead, everyone is vying to export the technology to gain the market. And Singapore's oil refineries are no less than ten. Home, more will be added in the future, does Mr. Brown also count on others not to invest?"
Brown said quickly: "I don't mean not to transfer technology, but I hope you can consider other places, such as Malay."
Wu Guangyao directly vetoed: "The Malay environment is unstable and we will not consider it. Only the Singapore government is very supportive of foreign investment in the refining industry and implements a non-intervention system on oil; if you are embarrassed, then this is the case. Now, let’s talk about the next cooperation."
"No, no, Mr. Wu misunderstood what I meant! Let's continue to talk about the refinery. I don't know whether Mr. Wu will consider whether to buy shares in our technology!" Brown stepped back and said.
It seems that anyone with foresight knows that Singapore's oil refining industry has done a lot;
First of all, the geographical location is good, here is the transportation route for ships and airplanes, and the energy route for Japan and Taiwan to develop the economy;
Secondly, the government’s policies are good. Singapore vigorously develops the oil refining industry and implements a non-intervention policy on oil; even if it is an oil crisis in later generations, Singapore’s war-prepared oil depots will continue to buy and sell normally, and the government will not interfere with oil prices.
Wu Guangyao meditated, and after a while, he said, “It’s okay to invest in technology, but the technology also needs to be transferred free of charge, and help us cultivate professionals in this area!”
Wu Guangyao doesn't want to be stuck in his neck. Only when he learns the technology is the last word!
Brown did not bargain again this time, after all, even if Wu Guangyao said, European and American oil companies did not take the transfer of refining technology seriously;
There is an oil gap in that country. As long as the government allows it, everyone flocks to it;
These oil companies transfer the international technology to obtain the share of the country’s oil industry;
Even in the Mainland, it accepted the cooperation proposal of BP Petroleum Company in 1973. BP Petroleum Company was also the first oil company to cooperate with the Mainland government;
BP's development in China has gone through three main stages.
In the early 1970s, mainly engaged in chemical technology transfer and marketing.
Since the 1980s, offshore oil and gas exploration and production began.
Since the 1990s, the business has continued to grow and expand, and has expanded to the supply of aviation fuel, the import and sales of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas, the retail business of gas stations, the production and sales of lubricants, the development and application of solar power generation devices, and chemical joint ventures. Build a factory.
After Wu Guangyao and Brown reached an initial agreement, the teams of both parties began to discuss the details;
The dispute was also fierce, but finally reached a preliminary opinion;
BP oil packaging technology transfer and equity investment, at a price of 3 million pounds (48 million Hong Kong dollars), and China Gas and the Wu family jointly invested 12 million pounds to invest in a large oil refinery in Singapore. If the funds are insufficient, you can choose to borrow.
BP Petroleum Company holds 25% of the shares, while China Gas and the Wu family hold 75% of the shares.
After discussing this topic, I finally got to the topic.
This time Wu Guangyao said: "Mr. Brown, how many areas of the North Sea oil field in the UK have not been awarded the bid by the oil company!"
Brown said with a smile: “There are still 360 areas that have not won the bid. Does Mr. Wu want to buy the entire Beihai Oilfield?”
Brown was obviously joking. Wu Guangyao also responded with a smile: “As long as the UK is willing to sell, I will sell iron, and I am willing to raise funds to take the entire British North Sea oil field.”
Both are obviously joking, but Wu Guangyao is obviously more confident!
Wu Guangyao certainly has the confidence. Before January 1973, the price of oil was US$1.8 per barrel;
In January 1973, it rose to 3 US dollars per barrel;
In October 1973, it rose to $11 per barrel;
More than five times the increase, of course I am more confident;
And as long as there is a map, Wu Guangyao can even know the general layout of the British North Sea oil field, saving a region by region survey, saving a lot of survey fees.
Brown smiled and did not continue discussing the issue.
Wu Guangyao was very interested and said directly: “Mr. Brown, regarding our cooperation in exploring the North Sea oil field, I wonder what the attitude of your company and the London government is?”
Brown said: “The British government naturally welcomes foreign investment to explore the North Sea oil fields, but BP’s manpower and equipment are not rich anymore, so if Mr. Wu wants to invest in the North Sea oil fields on a large scale, you may be disappointed!"
This is definitely true. Since the discovery of oil in the North Sea Oilfield two years ago, as a British oil company, BP will naturally join the exploration team.
Wu Guangyao frowned. The investment area is too small. Even if he knows the general release, it is difficult to find oil. Isn't it possible to lose money?
While Wu Guangyao himself does not have the ability to survey and extract oil, even if he bids, the British government may doubt his intentions;
There is another way, and that is to cooperate with oil companies in other countries!
In fact, with this method, Wu Guangyao is not an oil company at all, but an investor, a venture capitalist!
But what Wu Guangyao wants is this kind of effect, so that it won't let people be defensive!
Wu Guangyao said directly: “Suppose I am willing to invest huge sums of money to carry out this project, from purchasing oil exploration and mining equipment, recruiting a large number of British workers and management, and bidding for the North Sea oilfield area. Isn’t your company interested?”
"How much does Mr. Wu plan to invest?"
"500 million US dollars!"
Brown was shocked, but Wu Guangyao never expected that Wu Guangyao would be a big deal!
In the past two years, Phillips of the United States only spent more than 30 million U.S. dollars. Without oil, he had already retreated. This one said it was 500 million U.S. dollars. What should I say?
Of course, at this time, it has been confirmed that there is oil in the North Sea Oilfield, but one area is 260 square kilometers, and the remaining 360 areas are a very large project.
"Mr. Wu, your investment is too big, and we need to report it to the government! Of course, I'm sure, the government definitely welcomes your investment!" Brown said.
Brown will naturally not drive investment away, after all, the British economy is not good!
Furthermore, Brown also knows that London also has an intention to win over this guy!
Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Of course, then I will wait for your good news!"
