Chapter 539【Petroleum Intermediary】

  Early June, Hong Kong.

  In the reclamation section of Central (the location of the ferry terminal), two buildings are set aside!

  A building resembles an oil drilling platform, and a building resembles a big blue pillar in the sky. The two buildings have become the landmarks of the island;

  The building resembling an oil rig is of course the Universal Building, while the Sky Blue Pillar is the Cheung Kong Building completed last year;

  Changshi Building is 55 stories high, the tallest building in Asia;

  Looking at the Cheung Kong Tower from afar, it looks like a cylinder, and the exterior structure uses blue glass curtain walls, so Hong Kong Islanders call it the ‘big blue pillar’.

  The entire Cheung Kong Building has a floor area of ​​500,000 square feet. The first to sixth floors are shopping malls, and the seventh to fifty-five floors are office buildings, restaurants, hotels, etc.

  As the tallest and most luxurious building in Hong Kong, it naturally attracts many multinational companies to lease office buildings;

  At this time, Cheung Kong Building has all been rented out.

  However, due to the impact of the Hong Kong Island stock market crash, the rental price dropped by about 20%;

  Shopping malls with one to six floors, with a shop area of ​​60,000 square feet;

  The average rental price of shops is 15 Hong Kong dollars per square foot per month, monthly rent is 900,000 Hong Kong dollars, and annual rent is 10.8 million Hong Kong dollars;

  The area of ​​the seventh to fifty-fifth floors is 440,000 square feet, the average rental price is 4 Hong Kong dollars per square foot per month, the monthly rent is 1.76 million Hong Kong dollars, and the annual rent is 21 million Hong Kong dollars.

  The current annual rental income of the entire Cheung Kong Building can reach 31.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total cost (including land price) is 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

  It seems that it will take 20 years to pay back the cost, but it is not. As soon as the house price rises later, I am afraid that the cost will be recovered in ten years.

  The Rolls-Royce motorcade slowly drove into the basement of Cheung Kong Estate. Wu Guangyao was sitting in the car;

  The first floor of the basement is where restaurants and snacks gather, and the second and third floors are the parking lot;

  There is also a government-managed parking lot next to the Cheung Kong Building, so people who come to the Cheung Kong Building Shopping Center do not have to worry about parking spaces at all.

  After the Cheung Kong Building was put into use, the Wu family finally owned a shopping center in Central;

  You need to know that it is impossible to have a separate commercial complex for every inch of land in Central, so the shopping centers are located on the lower floors of the building;

  Wu Guangyao is not an eye-opener for money, so although many buildings have been completed before, but considering that they are the headquarters of various group companies, they have not been leased to shopping centers, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

  And Wu Guangyao's positioning of Cheung Kong Building is a high-end office building, a high-end shopping mall, a high-end restaurant, and a high-end hotel.

  At the same time, the ‘Guangyao Family Office’ has also chosen to be on the top two floors.

  Four Rolls-Royce drove into the underground second-story garage and came to a dedicated parking space;

  Before Wu Guangyao got out of the car, the bodyguard had already carefully observed the surrounding environment and blocked it.

  It seems that Wu Guangyao's bodyguard team is a bit fussy, and there may be people who say that Wu Guangyao is showing off;

  In fact, Wu Guangyao has never cared about the details of the bodyguards. He just spends money to provide posts, and the rest is the team's business;

  Someones think that they are showing off what they are accustomed to. This shows that everyone looks at it from a different perspective!

  The back door of a Rolls-Royce, with a ‘big long leg’ stretched out, I saw shiny black leather shoes and flat black trousers.

   Then a man with a temperament and charm with a big back came out;

   Needless to say, this is the protagonist's debut!

  Wu Guangyao stepped confidently towards the elevator entrance.

  The top floor of Cheung Kong Building.

  In a very luxurious conference room, Wu Guangyao, Morse, Rong Bensheng, Hollande, Jonas, Gao Ke, and Li Ming are in a meeting.

  This combination is a bit strange. Morse, Rong Bensheng, Hollande, and Jonas are Wu Guangyao’s personal consultants, and Gao Ke and Li Ming are the heads of Global Shipping and Global Terminals.

  In fact, it is not surprising at all, because Wu Guangyao is planning a big plan!

  Wu Guangyao took the lead and said: "Goo Ke, how are the preparations for the tanker?"

   Gao Ke hurriedly straightened up and said: “Global Shipping can transfer 12 million tons of oil tankers in the four months from August to November.”

   "Does the shadow affect the normal operation of the company?"

   "Maybe a little bit!"

  Wu Guangyao nodded and said, “It’s okay! After this time, Global Shipping should slowly reduce its ships!”

  Everyone shuddered, and they felt a little weird!

  Goke said: "Boss! There is no need to reduce the ship, and our ships do not have loans, so we can rent them out at a low price! This way at least there will be a lot of profit, and so many seafarers will be reduced."

Wu Guangyao heard this and said, “Don’t panic, ship reduction is a slow process. My plan is that before the 1980s, Global Shipping will only retain 3 million tons of oil tankers and 3 million tons of container ships; as for seafarers’ The way out, other factories under my control will give priority to them for reemployment!"

   Gao Ke said unwillingly: "Boss! Although shipping has a downward trend, our global shipping is very competitive, and we have great advantages in terms of price and the quality of seafarers."

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "I can't be wrong! In the winter season of shipping, these advantages can't be changed; if most of the ships are empty, seafarers' wages, ship maintenance, berthing, and wastage costs , These all require a lot of funds to fill in."

   Gao Ke was shocked, the boss predicted that the shipping winter would come?

  However, everyone did not ask the boss after all, because these may just be the boss’s predictions!

Wu Guangyao went on to say: "Onassis also promised to lease me a 2 million tons oil tanker (3 months), and I also leased a 3 million tons oil tanker from other shipowners on Hong Kong Island; Gao Ke, you go to Japan, Europe and the United States rent and lease oil tankers. I need a lot of oil tankers from August to October. Just lease it under the name of my Wu family office, and I will ask someone to cooperate with you!"

   Although Gao Ke was puzzled, she nodded her head first.

  Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Oil may have to increase in price recently, even if it doesn't increase, it doesn't matter. I sell it to European and American oil companies, and I won't lose a cent!"

this!

  Everyone thinks that the boss always does some incredible things, but in the end it proves that the boss is right!

  So, since there is no risk, no one has advised!

   Morse said worriedly: "Boss, 20 million tons of oil, we may not be easy to buy in three months!"

  It is true that the output of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East is based on demand. The daily oil production of the entire Middle East is only about 4.2 million barrels (600,000 tons), and the monthly output is only 18 million tons.

  Wu Guangyao wants to buy 20 million tons in one go, so European and American countries should be anxious!

   "The last time I went to Saudi Arabia, it was negotiated! The King of Saudi Arabia helped me coordinate to supply me with 20 million tons of oil from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and other places."

  At this moment, the king of Saudi Arabia is the fourth prince who asked Wu Guangyao to ask for a falcon. Now that Wu Guangyao knows that he will become a king, there is no reason not to invest.

  So, the friendship between the two has naturally been there all these years!

  In addition, Wu Guangyao bought oil for 3.3 US dollars per barrel this time, which means that the price per ton is 2.1 US dollars higher, and the 20 million tons is 42 million US dollars more. Even the King of Saudi Arabia is willing to help this small favor.

  For this plan, Wu Guangyao started the layout six months ago;

  To make this ticket, you must first have a tanker, and secondly, you must purchase 20 million tons of oil in two months (August and September).

  Finally, it is the docking problem of oil tankers. After all, if you buy oil, it is impossible to sell it immediately. You have to sell it in Europe and the United States;

  However, the global container terminals of Global Shipping can naturally come in handy.

Wu Guangyao urged Li Ming: "For the docks in Europe, America and Japan, we should arrange one to two months for our ships; we must give full play to the role of computer scheduling, so as not to affect the business, but also to arrange my tankers reasonably. If there is not enough space , Arrange nearby."

  Wu Guangyao arranged it in an orderly manner, and everyone no longer thinks about the big move of the boss, will it be a waste of work!

  Finally, Wu Guangyao arranged for Jonathan, his M&A consultant, to go to the Middle East in August to preside over this oil purchase.
