Chapter 485: The Question of Who to Sell To

Don't say how happy Dudleyway is in his heart, in recent days, he has been suppressed by Fairbanks, who has relied on BP to be stronger than Fudy Petroleum Holdings, and has already stirred up several Dudleywi businesses. Now that he saw him eating in front of Fang Mingyuan, his heart was as happy as drinking a glass of ice water

"Mr. Fang, how is this possible? Now that Iraqi oil exports are banned and Shijie's economy is growing rapidly, OPEC countries were still discussing whether to continue to increase production a few days ago, how could it be too much to sell?" I, Fudy Petroleum Holdings, are more than willing to help him solve it at a good price. ”

The two sang in harmony, listening to Fairbanks' old face was about to be distorted, he was the representative of British Petroleum in the Middle East, and he was also a person with status, and he usually saw the royal family members of those Arab countries, and everyone was polite and communicated with each other politely and equally, when did he not give face?

In fact, if he wasn't so arrogant, Fang Mingyuan would naturally not be so-for-tat. But he saw that Fang Mingyuan was young, that is, a teenager, although he knew that Fang Mingyuan was a VIP of the Kuwaiti government, but the old man thought in his heart that it was just Fang Mingyuan's shit luck. Moreover, a small Kuwaiti government, Fairbanks has not yet taken into account - the British government has played an important role in the restoration of the Kuwaiti government this time, and as for China, it is just a country waving the flag

It was precisely because of the contempt in his heart that Fairbanks couldn't hide the domineering in his tone, which naturally aroused Fang Mingyuan's disgust.

"Mr. Fang, my BP is not comparable to a small company like Fudy Petroleum Holdings, which is one of the largest oil and petrochemical group companies on Shijie. Nearly 110,000 employees are located throughout Shijie, with production and business activities in more than 100 countries, ranking among the top 500 companies in Shijie," Fairbanks glanced at Dudleyway, disdainful.

Dudley's face changed slightly, and it was true that as Fairbanks said, BP far surpassed Fudy Petroleum Holdings in terms of size and total assets. It was formed by the integration and restructuring of former British Petroleum, Amoco, Arco and Castrol, and its assets are spread all over Shijie. The main business is oil and gas exploration and development; Oil refining; natural gas sales and power generation; oil retail and transportation; and the production and sale of petrochemical products. It even involves coal, non-ferrous metals, computers, shipping, insurance and other aspects, and its subordinate 12 branches that have business dealings with more than 70 countries in Shijie, each of which is no smaller than Fudy Petroleum Holding Company.

And BP has expertise in the process and production of ethylene, polyethylene and acetic acid. The production capacity of ethylene and polyethylene has reached 10% of the entire Western Europe, ranking second in Europe. And it has 32 percent of the acetic acid production capacity in Europe. Not only that, BP has a large number of patents in lubricating oil hydrorefining, distillate hydrorefining, hydrocracking, paraffin hydrorefining, catalytic dewaxing, isomerization, etc., and the annual royalty income alone is an extremely considerable amount. It is difficult for Fudy Petroleum Holding Company to match.

"But that's not why we're willing to be swallowed up by you," Dudley said secretly as he clenched his fists.

"And, Mr. Fang, I know that you are a person who loves the motherland, so do you know that I, BP, have been expanding business in China since 1970, and as one of the earliest foreign-funded enterprises to enter China, BP has actively participated in China's economic construction and is one of the leading foreign enterprises in terms of investment in China. And Fudy Petroleum Holdings, except for a part of its insignificant business in Hong Kong, has no contribution to the economic development of your motherland" Fairbanks stared at Fang Mingyuan intently, using this to put pressure on Fang Mingyuan. He had heard from those in the company who had been to China that patriotism was undoubtedly a very good tool to deal with Chinese people. Once this hat is buttoned, those Chinese people will be tied.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Fairbanks, I really want to thank BP for its investment in Huaxia and the promotion of China's economic development, which cannot be ignored. But I have a question, has your company's investment in Huaxia not made a penny so far? Or did I mishear that Mr. Fairbanks was not talking about an investment, but a gratuitous donation? ”

Fairbanks frowned and said, "Of course, it's an investment." "BP is not a charitable foundation, as a commercial company, of course, it seeks returns.

"Since it is an investment, your company must have also received rich returns in the Chinese market. You invest in Huaxia, and Huaxia gives you profits, which is originally a mutually beneficial thing for everyone. How did it come to Mr. Fairbanks's mouth, I heard how it sounded like your company was helping China free of charge. Fang Mingyuan sneered. When the British who want to set up the archway, take away the huge profits from China every year, and actually want the Chinese people to be grateful to them, Fairbanks was speechless for a while, but Du Deliwei listened to it but his heart was greatly relieved.

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Fairbanks said goodbye with a blushing face and left Fang Mingyuan did not send it far, but walked to the door of the villa and returned.

"Mr. Dudleywi, I think now you can tell me that your company Weishenme is so interested in my share of oil, right?" Fang Mingyuan sat back on the sofa and asked with a smile.

"Of course" Fang Mingyuan is not a fool, Fairbanks's visit, as well as his remarks against Fudy Petroleum Holding Company and Du Deliwei, are enough to make Fang Mingyuan see the strangeness of this, Du Deliwei also understands that if he wants to hide it, it will only make Fang Mingyuan unhappy, so the goal he wants to achieve is even more impossible.

It turned out that since the beginning of '91, British Petroleum has launched the acquisition of Fudy Petroleum Holdings, on the one hand, to absorb the scattered shares of Fudy Petroleum Holding Company in the stock market, and on the other hand, to suppress the business of Fudy Petroleum Holding Company from all aspects.

Fudy Petroleum Holdings' domestic refining, transportation and marketing operations have not been affected much by the protection of English law. However, the crude oil import business has become the biggest shortcoming of Fudy Petroleum Holdings.

As a result of the embargo on Iraq's oil exports due to the Gulf War, several large oil conglomerates that originally imported a large amount of oil from Iraq have also turned their attention to other countries in the Gulf, intensifying the competition for the share of crude oil among the companies. At this time, Fudy Petroleum Holding Company had several oil import contracts with Middle Eastern countries expiring, and under the leadership of British Petroleum, many oil companies were vying for these contracts to exert pressure on Middle Eastern countries. This has caused a relatively large gap in the crude oil imports of Fudy Petroleum Holdings. However, the cost of purchasing oil directly from the market is not only high, but the oil price fluctuates greatly, and the supply cannot be provided stably. That's why Dudley is so concerned about the 25 percent of the oil in the Calafar oil field in Fang Mingyuan's hands.

"Mr. Fang, Fairbanks is not a person who suffers losses and does not fight back, you rejected him so unceremoniously, be careful of his revenge. BP, the largest multinational conglomerate that ranks first on Shijie," Dudley said, worried. Anyway, Fang Mingyuan and Fairbanks had already broken up unhappily, and appropriately expressed some worries, just to win Fang Mingyuan's favor.

"Can Fairbanks represent the British government? Or will he be able to represent BP in its entirety? Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically.

"How is that possible," Dudley shook his head, "Fairbanks is only a top executive at BP, not a member of the board of directors. ”

"I don't have any problems with BP, I just hate Fairbanks. It's like you British hated Hitler, but you can't say that all Germans hated it, right? The reverse is also true, Fairbanks' dislike of me does not mean that BP and I are at odds, I believe that there are still people in BP who understand. As for his revenge, hehe......" Fang Mingyuan sneered twice. Now that he is the honored guest of the Kuwaiti government, Fairbanks will be the first to stand up if he dares to do anything to himself in Kuwait. And if he returns to Huaxia, there will be nothing to worry about.

Dudleyway's heart couldn't help but rise again, it seems that Fang Mingyuan just refused to negotiate with Fairbanks, not against BP, doesn't that mean that if BP comes with another person, there is still a possibility for the two sides to reach an agreement?

"Mr. Fang, I heard that there is an old saying in your country, it is better to embroider a few more flowers on a gorgeous brocade than to send firewood on a snowy day. If Mr. Fang can agree to sell the oil from the Calafar oil field to my Fudy Petroleum Holding Company, it will be like sending us firewood for heating on a snowy day. I, Fudy Petroleum Holdings, will always remember Mr. Fang's kindness."

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the icing on the cake was not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, and he actually let him translate it into this way, completely losing that artistic conception. However, Dudleyway's words also reminded him that the oil from the Calafal oil field in his hands is undoubtedly nothing to the wealthy British Petroleum Company, but for Fudy Petroleum Holding Company, it is an important weight on the scale. These oils will definitely have to be sold to oil companies before their own refineries are built, so who to sell them to, and what kind of favorable conditions they will be exchanged for, but we need to think carefully

"Mr. Dudleyway, although I don't look down on Fairbanks, who am I not selling this oil? If I say that I want to sell to you Fudy Petroleum Holdings, then I will completely stand on the opposite side of BP, although I am not afraid of BP, but more is better than less, just to sell oil, and BP feud, isn't it very wrong? Fang Mingyuan said helplessly, "Even if I don't like BP, I can sell oil to oil companies in Japan, the United States, and even South Korea." ”

Dudleyway hung his head a little frustratedly, Fang Mingyuan was right, even if he was reluctant to sell oil to British Petroleum because of Fairbanks' attitude, then selling to oil companies in other countries would be a good result. Anyway, BP cares that this batch of oil cannot fall into the hands of Fudy Petroleum Holdings, but it is not a shortage of oil.

"So, can I ask Mr. Fang what is going to happen before he is willing to hand over this oil to me Fudy Petroleum Holdings?" Dudley still clings to a glimmer of hope for Zuihou.

Dudliwei left Prince Abdullah's villa with regret and some expectations, because Fang Mingyuan did not put forward any conditions in the end, but what made him still hopeful was that Fang Mingyuan did not explicitly refuse his request, as long as the dust has not finally settled, then Fudy Petroleum Holding Company still has a chance

Prince Abdullah did not return to the villa until evening, and he was accompanied by Prince Maktum

"Dear Fang, it's so difficult for you to come to the Middle East once" After Prince Maktum gave Fang Mingyuan a hug, he said sadly, "Our bank has been open for so long, why don't you, the major shareholder, come forward?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, do you think I'm the right age to appear in front of customers?" Fang Mingyuan said with a wry smile, if you let those customers of the bank know that the major shareholder of the bank where you deposit or lend money is just a teenager who is still a minor, I'm afraid ...... It's not bad if you don't immediately withdraw all your own money from the bank. Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktum hahad.

Indeed, for those who don't know Fang Mingyuan, age is undoubtedly Fang Mingyuan's shortest plank.

Everyone entered the living room, and after chatting for a while, Prince Abdullah said, "I heard that Dudleywi and representatives of British Petroleum came to visit you?" I heard that you had a bad quarrel with BP representatives? ”

"Yes, it's all for the oil from the Calafar field." Fang Mingyuan sighed and said, "That old British man looks arrogant, looking at him like that, it doesn't look like he wants to buy my oil, but more like I begged him to buy it with a dead face." Hmph, Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and it still looks like a shijie boss"
