Chapter 1044 Investing in Oil
Chapter 1044 Investing in Oil
……
After seeing many Central Asian cultural relics from Afghanistan gathered in the Peshawar antique market, Liu Dong, who seized the opportunity, was not stingy with money and came directly to make a big purchase!
When he returned to the hotel satisfied, the money in his pocket was tens of millions of dollars less, and of course there were nearly 100 more antiques!
It's just that Liu Dong was a little surprised that when he returned to the hotel, Muhammad, whom he had met at yesterday's auction and took the initiative to talk to him. Tanvir was already waiting here.
There is a saying, 'Reach out and don't hit the smiling person'!
Looking at the smiling Pakistani in front of him, Liu Dong couldn't drive people away directly!
"Mr. Liu Dong, I take the liberty to visit, I hope you will forgive me!"
Tanville, who has studied in China, not only speaks fluent Chinese, but also understands the way Chinese do things and speak.
Invisibly, Liu Dong added some intimacy!
"Mr. Tanville is gracious!" After simply shaking hands with the other party, Liu Dong said.
"Mr. Liu, I have prepared a table of wine here, and I hope Mr. Liu can come without hesitation!"
Seeing that people were so polite, Liu Dong couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed, "It's Mr. Tanville who broke the bank!" ”
"Hehe, where is Mr. Liu! As the host, I should still do this bit of landlord friendship! Mr. Liu, please! ”
"Please ......!"
After the two of them humbled each other, they came to the private room booked by Tanville together!
The decoration in the private room is not luxurious, but it is elegant and clean, and Liu Dong is not dissatisfied.
After the two sat down, Tanwell smiled: "Mr. Liu is still not satisfied with these dishes, if he is not satisfied, let them eat whatever he wants!" ”
Took a look. After the roast lamb shank, curry chicken and other local Pakistani specialties on the table, Liu Dong nodded.
Because his life has not been too rich since he was a child, Liu Dong is not a picky eater, although he is rich now, his taste has not changed!
Even if it's not a delicacy, it can satisfy him!
"That's pretty good. Mr. Tanville bothered! ”
"Hehe, I'm relieved to be able to satisfy Mr. Liu!" After a pause, Tanwell glanced at Liu Dong and continued, "I don't know what Mr. Liu is going to do when he comes to Pakistan this time?" If I can help, I won't refuse! ”
Looking at the other party's generous appearance, although it could be seen from the expression on his face that there were some contrived elements in it, Liu Dong still had some use in his heart!
People like to listen to good words, and Liu Dong is no exception!
"The reason why I came to Pakistan this time. The main thing is to think about the business environment here, and if I can, I want to invest and do some business here! ”
This topic is also the answer that Liu Dong has thought of a long time ago!
To his surprise, though, Tanville seemed to be interested in the topic!
"I wonder what business Mr. Liu plans to do?"
After glancing at the other party, Liu Dong said with a smile: "As long as I can make money, I am willing to do it, of course, it must be limited to the scope permitted by Pakistani law!" ”
"I don't know if Mr. Liu is interested in the petrochemical industry?" After a little contemplation. Tanvir was quick to speak.
"Petrochemical?" Liu Dong's heart moved, and then said. "If there is an opportunity and I can make money, I will not reject it! However, it seems that Pakistan is not rich in oil resources? ”
Even though he doesn't know much about the Pakistani oil industry, he knows something about this populous country in South Asia as an oil importer!
"It is precisely because Pakistan itself is not rich in oil resources. That's why we're able to make a profit from it! "Tanvel Road.
"Oh, I want to hear about it!" Liu Dong said with great interest.
"Before I say that, I would like to tell Mr. Liu about the current situation of the oil industry in Pakistan! …… Although Pakistan is not rich in oil resources, there are as many as 100 large and small enterprises engaged in oil exploitation, processing and sales in the country. The real annual refining capacity is more than 5 million tons, and there is oil exploration and development. There are only three large oil companies in the whole of Pakistan with oil distribution and distribution capabilities, and in addition to the well-known state-owned enterprise of Pakistan National Oil Corporation, the remaining two are Karachi Petrochemical Group and Paco Petroleum Company! ”
"Karachi Petrochemical Group is a joint venture between the world's oil giants Texaco and Dorda, while Paco Petroleum is a joint venture between Pakistani oil tycoon Shah Saad. Adir's enterprises own the Sukkur oil field in Pakistan, as well as the oil distribution system in major cities across the country, accounting for 23% of the oil and gas market in Pakistan, with a turnover of 80 million US dollars! ”
"Mr. Tanville wants to annex the Paco Oil Company?" Liu Dong heard the other party's off-string sound!
Facing Liu Dong's inquiring eyes, Tanwell didn't hide much.
"That's right! Because of the huge amount of money spent on finding new oil fields and natural gas fields in Punjab Province some time ago, coupled with the fact that the reserves of the Sukkur oil field are getting lower and lower, and there is a lack of external oil import channels, the company's debt ratio is getting higher and higher, and there are rumors within the company that it has changed hands! ”
"Then Mr. Tanville's annexation of the Paco Oil Company would be able to solve these difficulties?" Liu Dongdao.
"Hehe, maybe Mr. Liu doesn't know my current profession! I'm the owner of an oil company myself, and Hyderabad Oil is my business! ”
Seeing that Liu Dong was still listening to his ears, Tanville continued: "Although the refining capacity of Hyderabad Petroleum Company is only a quarter of that of Paco Oil Company, that is, about 1.2 million tons. But we don't have a shortage of crude oil, and even if the company's refining capacity doubles several times, we will be able to get enough crude oil from the Middle East! Because of this, Hyderabad Petroleum Company has been rated as the most promising oil company in Pakistan for only 5 years! ”
After listening, Liu Dong, who was contemplative, looked at Tanville and said slowly: "I'm curious why Your Excellency is so sure that you can get enough oil from the Middle East?" ”
You must know that since the establishment of OPEC, in order to ensure the interests of oil-exporting countries, the major oil producing countries in the Middle East and Asia and Africa have limited the amount of oil they can produce each year! Not just anyone can get a lot of crude oil!
It is precisely because of knowing these that Liu Dong is curious!
As if he knew that Liu Dong was going to ask about this topic, Tanvir soon said: "I am a college classmate with His Excellency Mansour, who is now a member of the UAE royal family!" The relationship between each other, in your Chinese words, is described as 'iron buddies who used to sleep on bunk beds'! ”
Looking at the proud look on Tanville's face, Liu Dong's eyes finally changed when he looked at the Pakistani.
Tanwell's identity may not be anything in his eyes, but if what he said is true, then his identity as a friend and classmate is really impressive!
Mansour, full name: Sheikh. Mansour. Root. Zayed. Al Nahyan, UAE Minister for Presidential Affairs and one of the sons of former UAE Presidents, President Sheikh Ahyan. Khalifa. Root. Zayed. Al Nahyan's younger brother. One of the richest and most powerful people in the world.
It owns two super corporate flagships, First Gulf Bank and International Oil Company, with personal assets of more than 17 billion pounds, and Sheikh . Mansour's family fortune is at least $1 trillion, and the famous Abu Dhabi consortium is a business!
Compared with this kind of super-rich family, the industrial capital that Liu Dong was once proud of is really nothing!
Moreover, the United Arab Emirates, which accounts for 10% of the world's proven crude oil reserves, can fully support the development of any oil company in the world, and it is no wonder that Tanville has such confidence!
"Since Mr. Tanvir has prepared everything, why did Your Excellency tell me all these things?" Liu Dongdao.
"It's very simple, I want to invite Mr. Liu to participate in the investment together, and we will jointly acquire Parko Petroleum Company!" Tanwell looked directly at Liu Dongdao with blazing eyes.
"Acquisitions together? Why? Since Your Excellency and His Excellency Mansour are classmates and friends, I believe that the acquisition of Paco Oil Company should be a very simple matter, and there is no need to involve me as an outsider at all! ”
After a few years of immersion in the prostitution business, Liu Dong is not a stunned young man who has just entered the society and does not know anything. In the face of the opportunity in front of you, the first thing to judge is whether this is a bait in the trap!
The greater the temptation, the more cautious it is to be the first to be cautious!
"Mr. Liu, I believe that with your wisdom, you should understand that no matter how iron the relationship is, if you just blindly ask for it, it will only make the relationship between the two parties more and more distant in the end! Don't you have an old saying in China -- 'good steel should be used on the blade'! Moreover, compared to the UAE National Oil Company, my Hyderabad Oil Company is like an ant at the foot of an elephant, and the gap between the two sides is too big! If the other party is allowed to intervene, I am afraid that after the successful acquisition in the future, the newly formed Paco oil company will have little to do with me. Of course, this is just my guess, but it can't be prevented! Moreover, I don't want the company's development to be hindered too much in the future, which will reduce the company's decision-making efficiency and lead to business failure! ”
"Then why did you find me?" After thinking for a while, Liu Dong said.
"To be honest, I originally found Mr. Liu yesterday just because of curiosity. But out of curiosity, after I went back, I checked Mr. Liu's news from the Internet. It's a big surprise when you look at it! Mr. Lau is young, but his achievements in business are truly impressive! You're probably the youngest billionaire in the world! Tanville applauded.
