Chapter 860 The Entity Energy Industry
"When I get access to wireless communications and 21% of the shares of the Mirror, I can sign a contract with you for 24 million barrels at a price of 12 dollars."
Wilson can accept $12, but what he cares about is to guarantee that all 54 million barrels will be reserved for England.
"What about the remaining 30 million barrels?"
Li Changheng shrugged, "I can guarantee that crude oil will stay in England, but when it comes to refining and selling, I have to take care of the interests of Mobil and Citigroup.
Moreover, what you need to solve is the shortage of refined oil products, 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 the most important thing to do at this stage. "
Wilson and his cabinet members, who originally thought that Li Changheng wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him and want more benefits, suddenly became pensive when they heard this.
And the reason is very simple, just use shipping and aviation as examples.
England, which itself is an island country, needs a large number of cargo ships whether it is exporting or importing.
Once the shipping capacity of England is huge, it will easily take away the market vacated by European shipping companies without being restricted by oil.
And the more orders, the share price of the British shipping company can rise against the market.
Calling for cash plus stocks, or even providing fuel, does have the opportunity to annex those shipping companies in Europe that have plummeted in performance and are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Moreover, ensuring the shipping of England can also export England's goods to Europe as soon as possible.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Wilson decided to focus on the big and let go of the small, while avoiding the excuse and opportunity for the United States to intervene because of crude oil refining and sales problems.
After all, revitalizing England's economy can create a large number of jobs, which means more votes.
"Henry, I heard that you have stored more than 20 million barrels of crude oil in Singapore, and the 10 oil wells in the Satkanal oil field can also produce 35,000 barrels per day.
Can this part of crude oil be handed over to us? "
Li Changheng chuckled, not only was he not angry, but it was exactly what he wanted.
The amount is as large as 20 million barrels, and the oil embargo has been in place for almost a month. If England's intelligence agencies still can't find out, then there is a problem.
"Do me a favor, I can sell all the crude oil in Singapore to you."
Wilson's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that Li Changheng was waiting for him here.
But at this time, no one would push the oil out foolishly, hesitated for a few seconds, and said secretly vigilantly, "Say it."
"It's very simple. Tomorrow there should be a scandal about islanders unilaterally talking about oil with Saudi Arabia. I want you to snatch the oil production capacity of several small countries in Southeast Asia as much as possible.
Moreover, find reasons to inspect and even seize oil tankers bound for island countries. "
Hearing the secret that the island country might betray the United States, Wilson immediately figured out how to use this information to profit.
Of course, if there is no news tomorrow, it will be nothing more than some brain cells for the room fee.
But once what Li Changheng said is true, then without Li Changheng saying, 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 seizure of oil tankers is definitely a big trouble, and it does not comply with various international laws.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Wilson suddenly smiled and said, "It should be no problem for the Hong Kong Island Marine Police to board the boat for inspection, but it is impossible to detain it.
However, I will use the public opinion in England and even unite with European countries to put pressure on the company that owns the tanker.
Even, the squadron on the Asian side can increase its cruise at the entrance and exit of Malacca. "
Li Changheng's eyes lit up. He also planned to set off a storm of public opinion in the United States. With the participation of European media, it almost meant that the entire capitalist country was condemning the island country.
Under such a huge storm of public opinion, few shipping companies dare to accept business from the island country.
As for the oil of polar bears and China, the island countries would never dare to buy it 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 of buying shares, or buying major media in England, so he decided to invest in the diamond group.
Even as long as they are willing to spend money, not to mention the major media in England, even the European media can use money to settle.
Not to mention the current situation, if the European countries are not stupid, of course they will grab the oil orders that belong to the island countries.
Later, because Wilson mentioned the Hong Kong Island Marine Police, Li Changheng suddenly said happily, "I want Hong Kong Electric and Gas Company."
The topic suddenly turned to Hong Kong Island, which immediately made Wilson unable to 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 the market value of Hong Kong Electric and Gas Company, which company they belong to.
Fortunately, there was the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the side, so he thought for a moment, "Your Excellency, although the major shareholder of Hong Kong Electric is an Englishman, its market value exceeds 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Converted at the current exchange rate, it is about 340 million US dollars.
And your 20 million barrels of crude oil in Singapore, calculated at 12 US dollars, is only 240 million US dollars.
Not to mention that the market value of Hong Kong Island Gas Company has reached 150 million US dollars. "
"Money is not a problem, and, plus the 24 million barrels I have in England, 44 million barrels is 528 million US dollars, enough to buy Hong Kong Electric and Gas at a premium.
The only problem is, I want all the shares in both companies. "
490 million compared with 528 million, almost 8% premium, basically equal to no difference.
In 1983, Li Dagong spent 2.9 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy 34.5% of HK Electric.
Of course, at that time, the Hong Kong dollar was already fixed at 7.8 against the US dollar, and it cost 370 million to convert it into US dollars.
Compared with the current quotation of 340 million yuan, that is to say, in the past ten years, HK Electric has almost tripled.
The reason is that the 1970s and 1980s were the fastest-growing period on Hong Kong Island, and it was only calculated by housing prices.
From the recovery of housing prices in 1975 to 1982, they increased five times in the seven years.
The population soared by 1.5 million.
The gas company has always been the only supply company on Hong Kong Island. Once it is won, it is equivalent to obtaining two extremely stable cash cows.
And it still occupies a monopoly position to a certain extent, and the market value will increase dozens of times.
Therefore, this business is definitely a bargain for Li Changheng.
Hearing Li Changheng's request to take down the two companies, Wilson and his cabinet members walked aside and talked in low voice for more than ten minutes.
Finally, he walked back and said, "In principle, we agree to your conditions, but you know Henry, no one can guarantee you to get all the shares of the two companies."
"I don't care about it," Li Changheng, who took the initiative, knew very well in his heart that this matter was nothing more than an exchange of benefits.
Moreover, witch corruption is rampant on Hong Kong Island at this time, and the law and order are not good.
The economy has just experienced the biggest housing slump in decades.
Therefore, comparing the industries on Hong Kong Island and England, I believe that most English businessmen on Hong Kong Island should choose the latter.
