Chapter 896 Spoils Sharing Conference
In his previous life, Jing Jian had seen many alliances of all kinds in business wars, and many of them could still unite in the face of common opponents, but when they encountered the final spoils, they often caused a lot of unpleasantness. Even that kind of unpleasantness, Jing Jian once laughed and called it a "high probability event". What is even more exaggerated is that many former allies, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, led to a big fight in the end, which is even more tragic than when they faced foreign enemies together.
And when facing that Mr. Xiao Li, his attitude was aggressive at the beginning, and he said in a tone that could not be refused at all: "Bramble, that Fike Chemical said that it was mine." I took out the mortgage price I gave to Cowell at the time, and rounded it up to $230 million. ”
Sure enough, it is a straightforward American red neck, but he doesn't pay attention to the slightest tactfulness. At that time, a plan for the distribution of spoils was indeed drawn up, and Fik Chemical Industry was indeed allocated to Lee's Industry. It can be said that the friendly price is slightly cheaper than the valuation of $400 million, can it be calculated by the mortgage price? This knife has cut nearly $200 million.
"Li, then what can I get?" Jing Jian simply did not dwell on this price. Otherwise, there will be more or less concessions, and there is no need to suffer in vain. And this is also the purpose of Xiao Li's first voice.
"Hehe, then what do you need?" In fact, it was not like a straight line on the outside, Xiao Li was quite shrewd, and immediately asked a rhetorical question.
"I have a 300,000-ton ethylene project in China. The main equipment has already been ordered, and what is missing now is the supporting plant. I need the whole set of equipment for those supporting factories. Second-hand is also OK, and the key is also a friendly price. Of course, Li, you are welcome to strengthen cooperation with me, and you and I can jointly venture with some supporting projects with rich returns. ”
A large ethylene project, using this raw material, can greatly boost the economy and build hundreds of downstream supporting factories. On the one hand, Jing Jian does have this need, and on the other hand, Jing Jian is showing his muscles: "Don't think that you have already eaten me, I still have a lot of hole cards." ”
Sure enough, Jing Jian's words shocked Xiao Li and Prince Fahd. Prince Fahd Jr. asked impatiently: "300,000 tons of ethylene, two billion dollars will be invested, right?"
"Almost. "Jing is ambiguous. He certainly won't elaborate on the distribution of equity in it.
And Xiao Li touched his chin and thought about it for a while: "I'm not interested in joint ventures, our Li industry has several world-leading technologies, and I can consider it if it's a sole proprietorship." I can give you a credit line of 300 million US dollars to use for the purchase of equipment for supporting factories. Don't worry, it's definitely a friendly price, you don't mind the equipment we obsolete, right? ”
"Hehe, it's too low. At least 400 million. You say it's obsolete equipment. ”
"Only some are obsolete, and many are new. So be it, 310 million. ”
“......”
After some haggling, the agreed line of credit was US$350 million. Both parties were very satisfied with the agreement, and Jing Jian got the line of credit, that is, Li's Industry paid a large amount of money for himself. And Xiao Li disposed of the pile of "scrap iron", and he could enter the Chinese market through Jing Jian.
Of course, Jing Jian will not forget Prince Fahd Jr.: "The same thing is good, the hotel in Miami belongs to you." It only takes you to pay $100 million. ”
"No, no, no, my brother. Prince Fahd Jr. looked polite, "I'll put it on the market for 160 million, but Bramble, I still have something I want your help with." ”
"You're welcome, you say?"
"I was thinking, if you have a successful Golden League, I want a club from us in Asia. Considering that the schedule is basically arranged in Europe, and the distance is long, it is best to play the home game in our Arab region. ”
"Is it arranged in your Kuwait City?"
"You may be misunderstood, but it doesn't have to be in Kuwait City. In fact, our royal family will be strongly supportive, but does not want to be in the limelight. There are many famous cities in our Arab region, and you can choose the right one for you. ”
Jing Jian did not object to this suggestion. Thinking that those princes in the Middle East later threw a lot of money in European clubs, at least there was still financial support.
"I'll think about that. It should be in the next one or two years. We'll discuss it in detail when the time comes. ”
Prince Fahd Jr. was already very satisfied with Jing Jian's answer. At least there was no direct refusal, because the status of Asian football at this time was simply shabby.
Then we discussed another heavyweight issue - the distribution of oil fields!
Since an agreement had been largely reached before, there was no objection to the specific distribution. There are a few disputes over the details. One is about the mining and extinguishing of fires by the Chinese engineering team. At the beginning, Xiao Li still insisted that the mining should be carried out by Li's industry, and at most it would be distributed according to the proportion of both parties. However, in the end, he learned that Jing Jian's offer was $2.2 per barrel (1.5 to $1.8 per barrel is generally accepted in China, and Fusoya is a little more expensive for offshore mining), and he accepted the offer without hesitation. It can be seen that there are enough profits, and Lee's Industries is not completely principled.
The other one is no problem fighting fires. When Iraq retreated, it destroyed and burned all the oil wells. At that time, there were only a few countries that had the technical strength to extinguish oil well fires. Kuwait is in urgent need, and the rescue teams that fight the fire are as good as possible.
Of course, Xiao Li wanted to transport all of the oil and gas back to the United States, and he even used his brains in the Fusoya oil field. Jing Jian, of course, was reluctant and hoped that some of it would be shipped to China.
After all, China is now an oil exporter, and there is no such big demand at all. However, in the end, Jing Jian was satisfied and allocated 30% of it to China.
The reason why Jing Jianhui is so insistent is because international oil pricing is very complicated. It is not just the price of oil futures in a few financial centers, but also the preferential terms of those oil countries and oil exploration and exploitation companies. To put it simply, it is much cheaper than the international spot price. If you don't have an oil field in your hand, you can only go to the spot market to buy it at a high price. That's why, in the future, three barrels of oil will be waving cash to buy oil fields all over the world.
After discussing all this, it was finally time for small talk. Xiao Li smiled casually: "Now we can finally have a safe meal." Especially you, Bramble, you're done with everything you should be done, aren't you?"
Jing Jian smiled slightly and was silent. He thought to himself, "There are still a few things to do." ”
