Chapter 624: The Big Deal
Li Xiaohua looked at Fang Chen intently, his eyes bloomed with excitement, and greed for wealth!
Fang Chen's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly fell into silence, and countless turbulent waves were set off in his heart.
But now he does understand why Li Xiaohua would spend a billion dollars to get this land, and even he understands all Li Xiaohua's strange behaviors and words before.
Seriously, Li Xiaohua didn't say it, he really couldn't imagine that there was still oil in the land there.
But if you think about it, it makes sense, because Malaysia is the fourth largest country in the Asia-Pacific region after China, India, and South Vietnam.
It is also one of the few crude oil exporters in the Asia-Pacific region, with half of its domestic crude oil being exported, and is the world's third largest LNG exporter, with the oil industry accounting for 20% of Malaysia's GDP.
"Are you planning to contract this oil field?" asked Fang Chen.
"No!no!no!" Li Xiaohua hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't plan to do this, not to mention that the scale of the oil field is too big for us to eat, and even if we can eat it, Malaysian Oil Company will not allow us to eat the oil field." ”
"Petronas Malaysia is a state-owned enterprise in Malaysia, and its status in Malaysia is similar to that of our Huaxia Petroleum Department, and all the oil in Malaysia is his, and no one else is allowed to exploit it. Li Xiaohua explained.
If he could, he naturally wanted to get a piece of oil field and become the owner of the oil field.
But even though he has a good relationship with the supreme head of Malaysia, the deputy head of state, and even the nine royal families, as well as the prime minister and ministers of the cabinet, Petronas is still an existence he cannot provoke.
Petronas is the lifeblood of Malaysia's economy, and it is also the only Fortune 500 company in Malaysia, and even in the entire ten ASEAN countries, and ranks more than 200, even the Malaysian prime minister cannot easily move Petronas.
Fang Chen nodded slightly, although he was a little regretful, but he was more relieved.
To be honest, he was reluctant to get involved in oil, which is called black gold, and in addition to its own color, it was about the blood that was shed around it.
No way, oil is so important to modern society, just look at how many wars the United States has waged over oil.
Kissinger famously said that if you control oil, you control all countries, if you control food, you control all people, and if you control currency, you control the whole world.
The hegemony of the United States is based on oil and the dollar, and even after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the United States did not promise that anyone could exchange gold with the United States at the official price of 35 dollars an ounce, and the reason why the dollar is still the world's common currency is because the United States quickly established the petrodollar system, so as to maintain the hegemony of the American currency and even the hegemony of the whole world.
But in this way, he was a little confused, since Li Xiaohua didn't plan to make money from the oil field, what land did he contract, and where did this big profit come from?
Looking at Fang Chen's puzzled eyes, Li Xiaohua smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Mr. Fang, did you think that the construction of the entire expressway would require more than five billion US dollars?"
Fang Chen nodded lightly, although he had calculated about four billion dollars before, but everyone's algorithm was different, and he was not a professional after all, so it didn't matter if these things were worse.
"Actually, let me tell you, the highway is just a façade, and all the investment in the whole project is already here. Li Xiaohua smiled and waved the document in his hand.
"Reselling land?"
From Fang Chen's mouth, he spit out a term that was very familiar to later generations.
"Well, that's what it means, all the investment in the whole project, a total of one billion dollars, and now Malaysians don't know that there is an oil field on this land, so we buy this oil field, as well as the nearby land, and then when it is announced that there is an oil field, we will make another sale, and the price will increase by about two or three times, absolutely no problem. Li Xiaohua said.
Fang Chen fell into contemplation again, he now clearly knew why Li Xiaohua spent so much money to buy land, not that the unit price was too expensive, but that Li Xiaohua bought too much land.
To be honest, he was a little moved, the total investment of one billion dollars was still within his affordability, after all, he was not the only one who paid the money, and Li Xiaohua would not agree to let him pay alone.
And he also believes that if it is really as Li Xiaohua said, when the oil field is doubled, the surrounding land price will rise by two or three times, it will definitely not be a problem.
In this way, he pays half of the money, no, he pays one-third of the money, about 300 million US dollars, and in the end he can earn between 300 million US dollars and 600 million US dollars, that is to say, more than 1.6 billion Huaxia coins to more than 3 billion Huaxia dollars.
This is really a big money in his eyes, and it can even be said that he has made the most money in a single business so far, which is more powerful than a fortune certificate.
Although the profit rate of the fortune certificate is high, 3 million invested in and 500 million yuan out, which is more than 160 times the profit, but in the final analysis, his profit is a total of 500 million, and he has to divide half of it, which cannot be compared with the income of 1.6 billion to more than 3 billion yuan from reselling land.
After all, he now has abundant funds, and there are more than 400 million in his pocket to eat dust in the bank's accounts, and he is not in a hurry to use money now, what he really needs is after the official mass production of the 04 machine.
Therefore, he naturally thinks more about how much money he can make than about profit margins.
This is also the reason why he said before that the fortune certificate is actually only suitable for small and large as the first pot of gold.
"Is the news reliable?" Fang Chen asked in a deep voice.
Li Xiaohua's eyes lit up suddenly, as soon as he heard this question, he knew that Fang Chen's heart was moved, but it was also said that no one could not be moved in the face of oil, the world's most important strategic material.
"Reliable, this is what a friend of mine in the Ministry of Land and Resources in Malaysia told me, he is the assistant minister in charge of this area, and now the exploratory well team can basically determine the location of the crude oil, and maybe even the oil will be produced within half a month. Li Xiaohua said with a solemn expression.
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, Li Xiaohua is really well-connected, and even has such high-ranking friends in Malaysia, but if you think about Li Xiaohua's friends, Bush, Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Toshiki Haibe, etc., he will understand.
"It's going to be oily right away......"
Fang Chen's fingers tapped lightly on the table, secretly thinking in his heart.
The benefits are all expected, and he also believes in the pie that Li Xiaohua painted for him.
Then there is only one problem left, and it is also the problem he is most worried about, that is, Li Xiaohua wants to lie to him, for this kind of old fox, the human spirit among the human spirits, the existence of being more clever than a monkey when stained with hair, he doesn't have a few more eyes, I'm afraid it really won't work.
If Li Xiaohua lied to him, there would be no oil in this place at all, or he would simply run away with the money, then his billions would be wasted.
However, the oil is about to come out, and these six words have reassured him a lot.
Not to mention how much sincerity there is in this, at least he can not see rabbits and eagles, he doesn't see oil, he doesn't invest money, as long as this money is in his pocket for a day, this money is what he says.
Li Xiaohua looked at Fang Chen with a calm face, although Fang Chen's face was expressionless at this time, he could probably guess what Fang Chen was thinking at this time.
In this regard, he had a clear conscience, because what he said was true, and there was no place to deceive Fang Chen in the slightest.
Besides, he didn't dare to deceive Fang Chen, unless he could leave Huaxia and abandon all his foundations in Huaxia.
There's no way, the above values Fang Chen much more than his value.
He can also understand this, after all, Fang Chen's age is less than half of his, but his assets are more than ten times his, but the most important thing is that most of Fang Chen's asset enterprises in China are high-tech enterprises, which is particularly valued by the above, science and technology is the first productive force, and it has been widely recognized above.
So if Huaxia wants to develop, rapid development, and high-quality development, it is inseparable from these high-tech companies.
Although he has more than 30 enterprises under his name, most of them are some real estate, machinery manufacturing, light industry, tourism, entertainment, medicine and health care, international trade and the like.
Even the companies in Xiangjiang are some investment companies, property management companies, tobacco, waterproof projects and the like, most of which are some business that makes money by eating and making money by relationships, as long as there is a relationship, you can make money, and it has nothing to do with high-tech.
Then if there is a contradiction between him and Fang Chen, who will be favored by the above, he still has this self-knowledge.
The reason why he pulled Fang Chen into the gang was not only because he wanted to make friends with Fang Chen, but also because he was rushing for Fang Chen's money.
The billion-dollar deal is too big, so big that he can't even eat it, after all, his total assets are only more than 3 billion now, and the amount of liquidity that can actually be withdrawn is less than 300 million.
Even if he could use the land as collateral and borrow more than half of the money from the bank, there would still be at least 30 percent of the money, that is, 300 million US dollars, and 1.6 billion Huaxia dollars would have to be solved by himself.
He worked hard to get together and sold some companies that didn't make much money, so he could take out another 300 million at most, that is to say, there was still a gap of 1 billion from 1.6 billion.
In this case, he naturally aimed at Fang Chen, or he could only aim at Shang Chen, after all, he had the ability to take out such a large sum of money, and Fang Chen was the only one in the whole of Huaxia.
