0364 Is It Worth It?
Li Zitao has no idea about his fiancée's inexplicable sense of crisis, and at this moment he is considering the suggestion of the think tank.
With the right to exploit two oil fields in Alaska for the next 10 years, offset a huge loan of 800 million US dollars.
At present, the North Slope oilfield has 1.8 billion tons of reserves, and the Prudhoe Bay oilfield has 2.3 billion tons.
In terms of current technology and the number of wells, the annual production capacity of the two oil and gas fields is about 3500~40 million tons.
According to the maximum value, the profit of 400 million tons in 10 years is about 2 billion US dollars.
Of course, this is based on the current price of crude oil, and the actual amount is certainly higher than it.
If nothing else, the signs of World War II will keep oil prices high.
It's 1932, and the Spanish Civil War in '36-39 is the battle between countries and FXS dictatorship behind it, which ignites the flames of the barrel of dynamite.
In other words, there will be 5 out of 10 years, and the price will become difficult to quantify as the international tension intensifies, and its profit may be several times or even more than ten times that of the previous 5 years.
Whether it's worth it or not is a difficult question to measure.
2 billion 10 years later and 800 million now, the time and opportunity to win, if you calculate it this way, he should be unwanted.
But he also needs to pay an interest and a loss from the inevitable future oil surge, which is five months to use, including the time it takes to close the deal.
5 months, 40 million, he needs to pay 200 million US dollars in interest.
At least 2.2 billion US dollars in exchange for 800 million US dollars, of which 200 million are still to be paid now, so it seems that it is not so profitable.
There is another reason for his hesitation, whether this matter will further expand the influence of Rockefeller and the oil sisters within the Lee Group.
There are no unchanging feelings, only eternal interests.
The ancestors said that you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must not have the heart of guarding against others.
No one can say for sure how long he and the Rockefeller family will be able to maintain their good personal relationship.
Lawrence is Lawrence, the Rockefellers are family, not to mention that he is not the next patriarch successor chosen by the family.
Even John Rockefeller, Jr., who occupies a large voice in the Rockefeller consortium, needs to carefully balance the interests of all parties at all times.
The cornerstone of the unity of the consortium is profit, and it will always be profit.
The person who raised this opinion at the shareholders' meeting was none other than Lawrence's brother, David D. Rockefeller, who was already preparing for the succession.
This had to make Li Zitao have some other thoughts, whether the young family successor was doing some tricks.
The other shareholders agreed, because they knew very well that Li Zitao would not let them go crazy to gather wool.
With the speed of making money like a money printing machine of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce, he will pay off the loan quickly, and instead of obtaining short-term benefits, it is better to cut a piece of fat from him first, and then exchange it for stable long-term income in the future.
"Honey, you've been here long enough. Adelayed walked over and stopped Li Zitao, who was walking back and forth.
"Sorry, there's something to take care of. Li Zitao loosened his brows and smiled.
"The bonfire is over, we should send off the guests, and then you can go back to your room and concentrate on your thoughts, and I'll make your own coffee. ”
Hearing his fiancée say this, Li Zitao realized that the night was dark, and the 10 high-beam searchlights on the roof of the villa made the beach look like day.
"Is Kako leaving? It's already so late, let her rest in the guest room for the night. Thinking that it was getting late, Li Zitao said casually.
"Then you should invite her personally. Adelaide kept smiling and looked ahead, not showing any change in her appearance alone.
"Forget it, having outsiders spoil the atmosphere. Li Zitao suddenly changed the conversation, and also used 'outsiders' to point out his views on Xiangzi's identity.
"Well, I think so too. The corners of his mouth are upturned, and the happiness at the moment is very obvious.
"Huh, fortunately, the reaction is fast enough, inviting a strange woman to stay overnight in front of his fiancée, this is not asking for trouble, it is a big death!" Li Zitao wiped his sweat in his brain.
Because of something in his heart, Li Zitao seemed a little absent-minded, except for ordering the bodyguards to send her back to the store safely when saying goodbye, he didn't open his mouth again.
"Alright, it's time for us to go back. Satisfied, holding her fiancé's arm, Her Royal Highness the princess, who defended her sovereignty, took the initiative to send a fragrant kiss.
Li Zitao was a little inexplicable, but he still enjoyed his fiancée's initiative, "Could it be that there are too many snaps, it seems that I will continue to work hard in the future." ”
The little ones who saw this scene turned their heads and stuck out their tongues, but they didn't dare to complain casually, and the lesson from the last time was still vivid.
Old-fashioned, strict homeschool days, it was the worst experience for them.
"Charlie, look at this, it's my masterpiece. "As he rode the elevator, Eric said, holding the 'shell artwork' in his hand.
"Looks good. The shape of a woman made of shells is very novel, Li Zitao looked at it and asked, "What is it called?"
"Lady Shell. Eric said smugly.
"What a terrible name, you should use the daughter of the sea or the princess of the shell. Norma complained with disgust on her face.
"I love Ms. Shell. Eric said nonchalantly.
"Let's not forget that she also has a part to do, and we should vote by a show of hands. "Norma still can't stand the name 'Lady Shell'.
"Then vote. Li Zitao nodded in agreement.
"Do you hear that?" said Norma, who had received support.
"Charlie didn't have the right to vote, he didn't help. Eric pointed the finger at him with a sad expression as if to say, 'Man, you've betrayed our friendship. ’
Li Zitao pointed at himself with a smile, "Am I eliminated?"
In the end, Adellaide and the three little ones voted, and Princess Shell received 3 votes in favor, and Eric's 'lady' can only be a thing of the past.
"I'll call her a lady anyway, don't try to make me throw in the towel. Eric said indignantly, placing his 'Shell Lady' on the living room table.
After a while of playful jokes, the maid took them to the room to rest, the room became quiet, and Li Zitao leaned on the sofa alone and closed his eyes to think.
"Your coffee. "Adelaide grinds it by herself, and the brewed coffee is close to hand, exuding a rich aroma.
"Thank you. Taking a sip of coffee, Li Zitao made a decision in his heart.
Trading the future for the present sounds stupid, but who can be sure that he won't get a bigger future!
This business, done.
To be honest, the pressure brought by the $800 million loan is not easy at all.
Especially when the situation is getting worse and worse, Li Zitao's original plan was to wait for the youth energy needle to create a large amount of cash flow for him.
But it will take a long time, and how can those rich people who are desperate for their lives agree to inject a newly born product into their bodies without observing it for a year or two.
The profits created by the Golden Arches are only enough to repay the interest, and Li Zitao thinks that others are overestimating the speed at which he can make money.
This blind trust even surpassed his own, and sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if the salted fish had been so long that it had swelled when it was filled with water.
