Chapter 233: Getting Rid (2)

The topic opened, Yao Haiming, Lu Yan and even Guo Jian all expressed their opinions, and they all felt that it was time to get rid of the Jidam family.

They had previously chosen to cooperate with the Jidam family, after all, only a force like the Jidam family could help them gain a foothold in Kanem.

Not to mention that in the future, the refined oil produced will be sold in Kanem, even if the refinery is allowed to build, it will not be easy for anyone to get it.

Otherwise, the price difference between Kanem's refined oil and crude oil is so high, and I don't know how much capital is tempted to come to invest in building factories.

The separation of the port of Lake Conero from the Lonta area and the concession of the casino hotel are inseparable from the Jidam family's centering to open up various joints, and Taihua, as a foreign capital, is not capable of doing these things.

However, in addition to these, the investment and construction of many subsequent projects, the Jidam family has not been able to make much contribution, and even has dragged its feet.

They had to use a construction and engineering company controlled by the Jidam family to undertake many of these projects, and the construction progress was slow and the quality was so rough that they could hear the project supervisors below complain almost every day.

The Conero Cement Plant, a subsidiary of Fellician and the Sika family of building materials, took only seven months from the start of construction to the completion of the second phase of the project, not counting the preparation time in the early stage, and this construction speed is what Yao Haiming and his family are looking forward to.

And if they continue to cooperate with the Jidam family, they will not only encounter more and more resistance in the future, but may even get involved in uncontrollable trouble.

However, many things are just like what Huang Hebin said, the Jidam family has invested so many hidden resources on the south shore of Lake Conero, and at the same time, they are hundred-legged insects that will not stiffen until they die, where can they get rid of it if they want to?

"This matter still has to be done slowly, and we can't be too eager......" Lu Jianchao said in a deep voice.

"The port group is going to withdraw now, and the administrative jurisdiction of the port of Lake Conero is attached to the port of Draculamo, and we can't turn around and offend them, this issue still needs to be solved first. Huang Hebin said.

"We don't have to rush to cut ties with Jiddam, and we don't have to stop working with the Jidam family, but this is not an opportunity for us to take over the port of Lake Conero in its entirety,"

Lu Yan had some vague thoughts before, but today when he heard Zhou Han pierce the layer of window paper, he suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, and said,

"If we accept the withdrawal of Dracula Port Group, but the Gidam family does not withdraw, the future operation of Lake Conero Port is very likely to encounter all kinds of unexpected troubles. The Jidam family is also having some difficulty in cash turnover now, and if they can withdraw from Lake Conero Harbor and obtain more than 10 million US dollars in working capital, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds. ”

The construction of an oil refinery on the south bank of Conero Lake is planned to be incorporated into a listed company, and for the convenience of financial auditing, all of which are investments by the Lu family.

If they can take this opportunity to fully take over the port of Lake Conero, it will be true

In the area of oil refining, they can first decouple financially from the Jidam family - after the refinery, crude oil terminals, storage tank farms, etc. are completed, they will have the initiative in whether to use the crude oil smuggled by the Jidam family from Rivers State.

It is unrealistic for them to want to get rid of the Jidam family all at once, but it is extremely necessary to start deploying a decoupling plan now. In this way, even if it is inevitable that the Jidam family will be dragged down in the end, the loss can be controlled within a limited range.

Lu Yan didn't say it thoroughly, but everyone here could understand his thoughts.

Oil refining, as the most important part of the industrial layout of Taihua and the Lu family in Kanem, has such a good opportunity now, why not decouple from the Jidam family first?

"......" Lu Jianchao groaned and did not rush to respond.

Lu Yan's idea is good, but they want to fully take over the construction of Lake Conero Port, in addition to quietly persuading the Jidam family to accept it, they also need to take an additional hundred million dollars of real money to continue the follow-up construction after the withdrawal of Draculamo Port and the Jidam family.

As a listed company, Taihua's own business is not directly involved in the investment and construction of port terminals, and it is difficult for them to say that the shareholders' meeting of the listed company agreed to this huge capital contribution in a short period of time.

Without capital contribution through listed companies, in addition to undertaking the follow-up investment of more than 60 million US dollars in oil refineries, casino hotels and grinding stations, the Lu family also wants to take out an additional 100 million US dollars in cash, which is more or less still under some pressure.

Zhou Han clasped his hands in front of his chest, stood against the table, and observed the subtle reaction on Lu Jianchao's face with beautiful eyes, believing that it was difficult for Lu Jianchao to resist the strong temptation brought by the complete mastery of an oil refining industry chain in Kanem.

With the rapid rise of emerging economies such as China and the BRIC countries in recent years, international iron ore and crude oil prices have also entered a rapid growth channel.

Before '03, the international crude oil price fluctuated below $30 per barrel for a long time, but after '03, the international crude oil price rose rapidly to more than $60 per barrel in just three years, and even soared to a high price of $75 per barrel in a short period of time at the beginning of this year.

With such a high international crude oil price, everyone knows very well that the profits of crude oil smuggling are huge, but after all, there is no way to really expand the scale of crude oil smuggling.

Crude oil exports are the lifeblood of Kanem's economy, accounting for 10 percent of its export revenues, and the federal government's finances are almost entirely dependent on crude oil revenues, so there is an unusually strict regulation and crackdown on oil smuggling in a country where corruption is rampant.

And even if there is no crude oil smuggling, with the current international crude oil and refined oil markets that are increasingly in demand, the entire project of Lujia and others can still be tapped with attractive and lucrative legitimate interests.

This interest is not a few million dollars, not tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions, billions of dollars;

"If we take over the construction of the port of Lake Conero, the intention may still be too obvious, and Rumisu Gidam will not be so easy to fool," Zhou Han felt that it was time to push it, "if West Africa unites."

Wouldn't it be more reasonable for an oil trading company to replace the Jidam family's contribution?"

"It's safer. Huang Hebin also felt that Zhou Han's suggestion was more stable than Lu Yan's.

Western Union Petroleum is a crude oil trading company in Akwa, which is not very large and has not been established for a long time, but it has the crude oil supply agreement of the Akwa National Oil and Mining Company.

They were building an oil refinery on the south shore of Lake Conero, and if everything was in line with Kanem's legal process, if there was no crude oil supply upstream, they would be suspected of their intentions.

Soon after the start of construction of the Taihua Industrial Park, they took the initiative to find a cooperation with Western Union Petroleum to do small-scale crude oil trading between Akwa and Spain, and the two sides also registered a joint venture crude oil trading company in Draculamo, so that when the refinery was completed, they could share the supply agreement in the hands of Western Union Petroleum, and first purchase crude oil from Akwa for refining.

On the other hand, the crude oil terminal of Lake Conero Port is built according to the 50,000-ton berth, which is not matched with the newly built large-scale deep-water crude oil terminal in Kanem River State, and the crude oil terminal of Akvapeme Port is comparable to the crude oil terminal of Lake Conero Port, and the distance between the two ports is only a little more than 200 kilometers, which can control the transportation cost very low.

So when they first came to Akwa to look for a collaborator, they approached Western Union.

At this time, if Western Union Petroleum is persuaded to replace the capital contribution of the Jidam family, on the one hand, the future supply of crude oil in the refining stone will be more secure, and at the same time, the Jidam family will be more persuaded to withdraw from the construction of Lake Conero Port.

“...... Now that I'm here, I'm going to meet with Rumisu Gidam and see what they think of the recent changes in the situation. Lu Jianchao pondered for a long time, but did not immediately express his position on this matter, and felt that it was necessary to meet with Rumisu Jidam, the ruler of the Jidam family, to test their attitude before making plans.

"Yan Zhicheng may be able to say something for us......" Huang Hebin saw that Lu Jianchao was already moved, so he suggested.

Bahajidam didn't have much contact with them, and Rumisu Jidam sometimes relied more on Yan Zhicheng to contact them - if Yan Zhicheng could help them speak, the Jidam's family would not be so wary.

"The current state of the Jidam family, I believe Yan Zhicheng will have some ideas in his heart, but we must not be too eager......" Lu Jianchao nodded and said.

Although Yan Zhicheng smuggled to Kanem in the 80s, in the eyes of Lu Jianchao and Huang Hebin, they thought that he was Chinese after all, and it was impossible for him to follow the Jidam family all the way to the black.

Of course, the Jidam family is a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and Yan Zhicheng is definitely an old man, even if he has the idea of getting rid of the Jidam family in his heart, it will definitely not be easily exposed.

How to persuade Yan Zhicheng to help them speak, this degree is not easy to master, thinking of this, Lu Jianchao also felt a headache......
