Chapter 326: Global Center

However, now the western Canadian crude oil companies, under the impact of shale oil and gas in the United States, themselves do not have much advantage of the situation is even worse, it is really a pity to abandon the tasteless, and even when the global oil price is as high as 145 US dollars per barrel, they have not enjoyed the dividends of high oil prices, even if it is cheap, no one wants to want it, and no one wants to use their crude oil if the price rises, coupled with the lack of capacity of the Western Canada oil pipeline, it has basically been abandoned by the world energy industry.

The worldwide shortage of crude oil has caused a large number of companies that only extract crude oil to go bankrupt and go bankrupt, especially in several countries in the Middle East. Some small and medium-sized crude oil exploitation enterprises in Europe, most of the world's large energy companies have their own middle and downstream industrial groups, so even if their local crude oil is exhausted, it will not cause the danger of bankruptcy, why the world's major energy companies are crazy about oil in the world, in order to make the middle and lower reaches of the refining and chemical industry can be full, and now in the global Qidong energy is in full swing, not only the mining capacity is amazing, but also because Qi Neng crude oil is more high-quality than Brent crude oil, the cost of refining is lower, so it makes many refining and chemical companies around the world crazy。

It is a bit laughable to say, the Indian Oil Company, which just obtained 800 million barrels of crude oil from the Anadyr mine last month, was robbed last night when the first batch of oil tankers passed through Japanese waters, and Jiang Lang was unbelievable after seeing the news this morning, two oil tankers were hijacked to Nagasaki, although the Japanese government said that it would crack down on this kind of banditry, but Jiang Lang estimated that about 700,000 oil and crude oil on the two robbed oil tankers would not come back.

Although I don't know which organization in Japan did it, but there is no doubt that this has exacerbated the tension in the energy industry, Japan's operation, so that India is sad at the same time, but also seems to open a window to the world, it is estimated that in the next period of time, cruise ships around the world may be the target of robbery.

After directly and clearly rejecting Li Chaoren's desire to let him take over Husky Oil Company, Jiang Lang ended the conversation with him, although this seems a little not good, but the purchase is like this, not to say that you want to sell me to buy, not to mention that Husky Oil Company is not a good asset now, although he does have the ability to take over and improve it, but tens of billions of dollars to buy such a broken company, he can't afford it.

But Jiang Lang still said that if there is a suitable office building, he will continue to buy, and at the same time conveyed to him his own use, not for renting, how many years will it take to recover the cost of renting, Jiang Lang does not do that kind of stupid thing, the first is to make up the number of office buildings, and the second is to find suitable office space for the various subsidiaries of Qidong Energy, and the acquisition of office buildings is completely for their own use.

After happily ending the conversation and leaving Li Chao's house, Jiang Lang received a report from Gao Xiaoya on the Rolls-Royce: "Mr. Jiang, an oil tanker of the Indian Oil Company has been hijacked in the Strait of Malacca, and I hope we can provide protection measures for it." or Qi Neng Shipping will be responsible for transportation matters together......"

"We don't have that many tankers, unless they're willing to sell us a batch of cruise ships right now. Damn these pirates are simply lawless, and there's nothing we can do about it. Don't accept gifts in the future, especially gifts from customers who will cause trouble to Qidong Energy. Jiang Lang replied unceremoniously, and at the same time sighed a little, sure enough, shipping is not so safe.

After Jiang Lang got a batch of weapons from Russia and rationed them to the ships of the Zineng ship, there were three incidents of pirates trying to rob, but they were all killed and thrown into the sea by the brave sailors. With stable high-paying jobs, most of the sailors, including the captain, are not afraid of death, whoever wants to smash their jobs, they dare to kill whom, the pirates of Malacca suffered several shots from the Zineng ship, and even the most fierce one, after spotting the approaching boat, the captain of the tanker asked his men to move out the NSV heavy machine gun that he had taken out, and relied on the radar to lock the boat at a distance of 1500 meters and fired, the pirates obviously did not expect this kind of guy on the tanker, and they were caught off guard at the time, but then they fired two rockets, fortunately did not cause devastating damage to the tanker, and then increased firepower directly exploded the boat at a kilometer or so, and the specific pirates were buried at the bottom of the sea, anyway, since then, few pirates of Qidong Energy's ships have dared to rob them.

Perhaps the pirates also inquired that all the freighters of the Qi Neng ship were equipped with guns.

But Jiang Lang's guns have also caused dissatisfaction with other countries, Qi Neng Ship's main transportation task is to transport crude oil from Langgangshan oil and gas field to Pakistan, as well as bulk carriers from Anadyr Mine to Shagang, domestic is good to say, Jiang Lang hid all the guns when the crew ran to the domestic port, but when running the Pakistan route, they must be equipped with guns, because they have to pass through the dangerous Strait of Malacca.

But because of the gun on the ship of the Qi Neng ship, it gave other shipowners an excuse, I don't know who sued the Hong Kong Marine Department, and finally under pressure, Zheng Feng handed over more than 600 guns, which really frightened the officials of the Marine Department, no one expected that Qi Neng Ship, a newly established ship company, would have so many guns, and all of them were standard weapons from Russia.

Jiang Lang doesn't care about the loss of weapons, as long as he can ensure the safety of personnel and ships, Jiang Lang also knows that he is at a loss, international maritime conventions do not allow civilian ships to carry weapons, but generally as long as the port country that arrives at the port does not care, no one will say, Pakistan doesn't care, as long as the crude oil can be transported safely, you can match it, and you are not here to fight us, but you can't stop other people's complaints about this matter.

So Zheng Feng handed over some of the rags in the tatters, and asked the crew to hide the rest of the tatters that were not bad, and not to use them when they could not use them, and at the same time strengthen safety awareness.

Gao Xiaoya agreed, since the first time Jiang Lang acquiesced to their president's office that they could accept gifts, there were indeed many customers who gave them some gifts, but what they could receive and what they couldn't accept should be points.

"There is also Mr. Hu of the Thai branch who said that the design of the mining area has been completed and has been sent to your mailbox. Mr. Hong and Qidong Shipbuilding have completed the acquisition of Danggara Port, and hope that you can take the time to go to Australia to see if the design of the Molarben mine is suitable. Western Energy hopes to cooperate with Qidong Energy, Ma'anshan Company and Benxi Company have been registered, Ma'anshan Land and Resources Department has approved the exploration right, Benxi Iron Ore is now in the hands of Benxi Yizhongxin Company, the local area is actively coordinating, Benxi Company takes over the mining matters, Benxi Yizhongxin's shareholder Shenzhen Benxi Yizhongxin opened the price of 1 billion, Guo Jing Guo is negotiating with it, thinking that it is too high. ”

Jiang Lang nodded slightly, and replied on the phone: "I'll take a look at the shipbuilding group in a while, and go directly to Ma'anshan tomorrow." ”

The car carried Jiang Lang directly to Qi Neng Ship, although Qi Neng Ship has been established for more than half a year, but this is the first time Jiang Lang has come.

Although it has not been established for a long time, it has 1,428 employees, and more than 80 of them are newly recruited crew members at all levels.

Gao Xiaoya arrived here in the morning, Zheng Feng, Yin Shangjie, Wang Dekai greeted Jiang Lang's arrival, Jiang Lang took a turn in the office, met with the employees of various departments, and encouraged a few words of encouragement, and officially announced to everyone that the newly acquired Central Center will be used for the headquarters of Qi Neng Ship, and immediately employees at all levels were overjoyed, although they had received the news before, guessing that it was possible that Qi Neng Ship would move over, and now it was finally confirmed.

One by one sighing to be able to enter the Qi Neng ship is really lucky, the parent company Qi Dong Energy is really wealthy, 28 billion Central Center actually said to buy it, according to the agreement, will be officially received in half a week, together with the property company will also be replaced, Rongsheng Property has come to Hong Kong to register a company, at the same time in the local recruitment of property management personnel, all the tenants of the building will be cleaned up by Cheung Kong, of course, do not need to be all cleaned out, now Qi Neng ship only needs four floors, the rest can wait until they expire the lease and then move out。

With the partial handing over of the guns, Jiang Lang lamented the weakening of the oil tanker's defense, and Jiang Lang instructed the senior management of the Qi Neng ship to study and install fire water cannons on all cargo ships.

This can be said to be a normal fire extinguishing to the outside world, driving away other approaching ships, which is completely for civilian purposes, and it can even be said that we are a firefighting facility. It's just a water gun, a kid's water fight.

If all the freighters are equipped with them, it will only be tens of millions, and Jiang Lang approved them to study and study how to do a good job of security defense measures, and the money that should be spent cannot be spent.

After visiting the Qi Neng ship, Jiang Lang went upstairs to visit the Bank of China Hong Kong Branch, and then had a meal with a group of high-level executives in the evening, and Di Ba, who had been shopping in Hong Kong for a day, snapped back to China the next day.

Hong Kong has never been an important investment place for Jiang Lang, even if it is to choose to naturalize in Hong Kong, it is only because of its convenient visa-free policy, you can freely go to many countries, Qi Neng Ship chose to register in Hong Kong, because of its lower taxes, and convenient ship management, Hong Kong is the most free metropolis in the world, naturally there are its satisfying places, but there are also many places that people are not like, this can only be said to be suitable for people, at least Jiang Lang has never thought of living in Hong Kong.

Ma'anshan does not have an airport, and its nearest airport is not in Anhui Province, but NJ Lukou Airport.
