Chapter 860: Physical energy industry

"When I get access to wireless communications and take pictures, and 21% of the shares in the Mirror, I can first sign a contract with you for 24 million barrels at a price of $12."

12 dollars Wilson is acceptable, but what he cares about is to ensure that all 54 million barrels are reserved for England.

"What about the remaining 30 million barrels?"

Li Changheng shrugged, "I can guarantee that crude oil will stay in England, but in terms of refining and sales, I have to take care of the interests of Mibu and Citigroup.

Moreover, what you need to solve is the shortage of refined oil, and restore production capacity as soon as possible to seize the European market.

Even taking the opportunity to annex the same industry in Europe is what should be done at this stage. "

Wilson and his cabinet members, who originally thought that Li Changheng wanted to take the opportunity to threaten and want more benefits, suddenly became contemplative when they heard this.

And the reason is very simple, just use shipping and aviation as examples.

England, an island country in itself, requires a large number of cargo ships whether it is exporting or importing.

Once England shipping with huge capacity, without being restricted by fuel, it would easily **** the market vacated by European shipping companies.

And the more orders, the stock price of England Shipping Company will rise against the market.

The call for cash and stocks, and even the provision of fuel, does have a chance to annex European shipping companies whose performance has plummeted and are on the verge of bankruptcy.

And to ensure that the sea in England can also export goods from England to Europe as soon as possible.

Therefore, Wilson only thought for a moment and decided to focus on the big and let go of the small, while avoiding the problem of crude oil refining and sales, giving the United States an excuse and opportunity to intervene.

After all, revitalizing the economy of England can create a lot of jobs, which means more votes.

"Henry, I heard that you have stored more than 20 million barrels of crude oil in Xinjiapo, and you can produce 35,000 barrels a day in 10 oil wells in the Canal Oilfield in Saudi Arabia.

Can this part of the crude oil be handed over to us? "

Li Changheng smiled, not only not angry, but just what he wanted.

The quantity is as large as 20 million barrels, and the oil embargo has been almost a month, if the intelligence agencies in England cannot find out, then there will be a problem.

"Do me a favor, I can sell all of Xinjiapo's crude oil to you."

Wilson felt a little in his heart, and suddenly realized that Li Changheng was waiting for him here.

But at this time, no one would push the oil out stupidly, hesitate for a few seconds, and secretly said vigilantly, "Say it."

"It's very simple. Tomorrow, there should be a scandal involving people from the island countries unilaterally discussing oil with Saudi Arabia. I want you to seize the oil production capacity of several small Southeast Asian countries as much as possible.

Also, find reasons to inspect and even seize oil tankers destined for island countries. "

Hearing that the island country might betray the secrets of the United States, Wilson immediately figured out how to use this intelligence to profit.

Of course, if there is no news tomorrow, it will only cost some brain cells at most.

But once it is exactly what Li Changheng said, then there is no need for Li Changheng to say that Wilson will definitely grab the oil production capacity of several oil-producing countries in Southeast Asia.

After all, this is good for England.

The only trouble is that the arrest of an oil tanker is definitely a huge trouble, and it is not in compliance with various international laws.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Wilson suddenly smiled and said, "There should be no problem with the Hong Kong Island Marine Police getting on board for inspection, but seizure is impossible.

However, I will use public opinion in England, and even unite with European countries, to put pressure on the companies that belong to the tanker.

Even the sub-fleet on the Asian side can increase its patrol at the entrances and exits of Malacca. "

Li Changheng’s eyes lit up, and he also planned to create a storm of public opinion in the United States. The participation of European media is almost equivalent to the entire capital country condemning the island country.

Under such a huge storm of public opinion, there are indeed few shipping companies that dare to take business in island countries.

As for the oil from the polar bears and the celestial dynasty, the island countries would never dare to buy the oil without the United States.

However, just to set off a storm of public opinion in England, Li Changheng himself can do it through the London Diamond Group.

At that time, Li Changheng saw the diamond group, or the means to buy shares, or buy the major media in England, so he must buy a stake in the diamond group.

Even as long as they are willing to spend money, let alone the major media in England, even European media can settle it with money.

Not to mention the current situation. European countries are not stupid, of course they will grab oil orders that belong to the island countries.

Later, because Wilson mentioned the Hong Kong Island Marine Police, Li Changheng suddenly said with joy, "I want the Hongkong Electric and the Gas Company."

The topic suddenly turned to Hong Kong Island, and Wilson suddenly couldn't keep up with Li Changheng's thinking.

What's more, Wilson basically has no energy to care about the affairs of Hong Kong Island. He doesn't even know what the market value of the Hong Kong Electric and Gas Company is and which company they belong to.

Fortunately, there is the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the sidelines, thinking for a moment, "Your Excellency, although the major shareholder of the Hongkong Electric is from England, the market value is over 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At the current exchange rate, it is about 340 million U.S. dollars.

And your 20 million barrels of crude oil in Xinjiapo, at 12 US dollars, is only 240 million US dollars.

Not to mention the market value of Island Gas has reached 150 million US dollars. "

"Money is not a problem, and with the 24 million barrels I have in England, 44 million barrels is 528 million US dollars, which is enough to buy the Hong Kong Electric and Gas Company at a premium.

The only problem is that I want all the shares of these two companies. "

490 million compared to 528 million, almost 8% premium, basically no difference.

In 1983, Li Dagong bought a 34.5% stake in Hongkong Electric for 2.9 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, at that time, the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar was fixed at 7.8, and it cost 370 million to convert to U.S. dollars.

Compared with the current 340 million quotation, that is to say, in the next ten years, the Hongkong Electric has increased by almost three times.

The reason is that the 1970s and 1980s were the fastest growing period of time on Hong Kong Island, and it was only calculated by housing prices.

From the recovery of house prices in 1975, to 1982, the price has risen five times in the past seven years.

The population soared by 1.5 million.

The Gas Company has always been the only supply company on Hong Kong Island ~ lightnovelpub.net~ once it is won, it is equal to two extremely stable cash cows.

And it still occupies a monopoly position to a certain extent, and the market value will increase by several folds.

Therefore, this business is definitely a cost-effective one for Li Changheng.

Upon hearing Li Changheng's request to take down the two companies, Wilson and his cabinet members walked to the side and talked in a low voice for ten minutes.

Finally came back and said, "In principle, we agree to your terms, but you know Henry, no one can guarantee to help you take all the shares of the two companies."

"I don't care about this." Li Changheng, who has the initiative, knew very well that this matter was nothing more than an exchange of interests.

Moreover, at this time, corruption and witchcraft are rampant on Hong Kong Island, and the law and order is not good.

The economy has experienced the biggest real estate plunge in decades.

Therefore, comparing the local industries on Hong Kong Island and England, I believe that most of the English businessmen on Hong Kong Island would choose the latter.
