Chapter 423 Energy Companies

"Really?" When Sabah IV said this, Long Zheng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Sabah IV said www.biquge.info very simply, but the cost of maintenance and maintenance of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group for a whole year is simply estimated to be $1.5 billion. If the Kuwaiti government helps Long Zheng bear this huge expense, the pressure on Long Zheng will undoubtedly be much easier.

Anyway, Long Zheng's purchase of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group is also to deter malicious forces and protect the safety of its industries. However, deterrence is deterrence, and the means must also be used well. You can't drive the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group directly into the territorial waters of the other side and show off its might right under the nose of the other side. If this is really the case, it is not a deterrent, but an initiative to provoke a war. Strictly speaking, Ryuzheng only needs to have ownership and control of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group, and it does not matter where the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group docks or which sea area it is cruising in. Since the Kuwaiti Government is willing to pay for the maintenance and maintenance of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group for a whole year, it is not impossible for the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group to spend half of the year cruising in the waters of the Persian Gulf.

"Uncle Shi, regarding the distribution of benefits of Kuwait's oil and gas resources, I want to know the bottom line of your royal family?" Looking at Sabah IV, Long Zheng asked in a condensed voice.

"Okay, Uncle Shi won't talk about it." After a pause, Sabah IV said calmly: "The nephew personally contributed 100 billion US dollars in cash, and our royal family integrated all the oil and gas resources in Kuwait, using them as physical assets, and according to the equity ratio of 20% of the nephew and 80% of our royal family, the two sides jointly established the Kuwait Rock Energy Company." After its establishment, Kuwait Panshi Energy Company has the ownership of all oil and gas resources in Kuwait, and at the same time monopolizes the exploration, exploitation, primary processing, deep processing, transportation and sales rights of oil and gas resources. Of course, this distribution is premised on a military alliance between the Salween Federation and Kuwait, with the Salween Federation helping Kuwait to share the military threat from Iraq's Saddam Hussein government, and the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group cruising in the Persian Gulf for half of the year. ”

Hearing the words of Sabah IV, Long Zheng couldn't help but weigh it.

It has to be said that the Kuwaiti royal family's preferential distribution plan for Long Zheng has a lot to do with the current low oil prices.

After the end of the Gulf War in 1991, world oil prices remained at a low level for many years as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries split internally. The oil revenues of oil-exporting countries, including Kuwait, have all declined to varying degrees compared with those before the Gulf War.

The total oil and gas resources in Kuwait are 10 percent of the world's oil reserves and 1 percent of the world's natural gas reserves. According to the distribution plan of 28 percent of the shares, Long Zheng invested 100 billion US dollars to own 20 percent of the shares, so the conversion of 80 percent of the shares into 10 percent of the world's oil reserves and 1 percent of the world's natural gas reserves is only worth 350 billion US dollars.

No matter how you convert it, this is an extremely unreasonable distribution scheme.

It is precisely such an unreasonable distribution plan that the Kuwaiti royal family took the initiative to put forward, from which we can also see how much pressure the Iraqi Saddam regime has put on the Kuwaiti royal family.

The pie that fell from the sky, it is impossible for Long Zheng not to want it.

The Kuwaiti royal family only regarded the Iraqi Saddam regime as a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and was full of fear and jealousy against it, but Long Zheng, who had a prescient understanding, knew that the Iraqi Saddam regime had long been a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the US government. The current Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein can only find a sense of existence in a small Gulf country like Kuwait, and Iran, the former old enemy, has thrown off a few streets from Iraq, both economically and militarily.

When the interruption continues, it is chaotic.

While the Salwyn men's basketball team was working hard to prepare for the Atlanta Olympics, Long Zheng took Jenny and Sabah IV to the headquarters of Wells Fargo in New York.

With 30% of the shares of Panshi Internet Company as collateral, Long Zheng successfully borrowed $111 billion from Wells Fargo Bank of the United States.

As the chairman of the board of directors of Wells Fargo Bank of the United States, Long Zheng's huge mortgage loan was given by Wells Fargo. Moreover, as the U.S. Internet economy continues to boom, the value of 30 percent of Panshi Internet's shares is far more than $111 billion. There is no doubt that Wells Fargo's huge mortgage loan is one of the most high-quality financial services in the U.S. banking industry in the past decade.

As the news of Long Zheng's huge loan spread, the stock of Wells Fargo was unanimously optimistic about the outside world, and it continued to rise for many days.

With money and a huge loan of $111 billion, Long Zheng immediately completed the handover of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group. Immediately after the Russian Navy sent the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier battle group to the territorial waters of the Salween Federation, it began training the trainees sent by the Salwyn Navy.

At the same time, in Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait, the establishment of Kuwait Rock Energy Company quickly began. With a huge start-up capital of 100 billion US dollars, in the context of the continued low global oil prices, Kuwait Panshi Energy Company is not only engaged in the exploration and exploitation of oil and gas resources, but also focuses more on the deep processing of oil and gas resources and the research and development of new technologies.

Because Kuwait Panshi Energy Company is a joint venture and has the capital injection of Longzheng, the management of Kuwait Panshi Energy Company is forced to break the unspoken rules of traditional family members in the Gulf countries to manage the company, and completely follow the strict management model of multinational enterprises.

Kuwait Panshi Energy Company has set up a board of directors, with Long Zheng and members of the Kuwaiti royal family who own shares of the company as directors of the company, which is the highest authority of the company, but does not participate in the specific management of the company's affairs. Because of the limited energy of King Jaber Ahmad Al-Sabah of Kuwait, King Al-Sabah IV was unanimously elected Chairman of the Board by Long Zheng and members of the Kuwaiti royal family who own shares in the company, and is the top decision-maker of Kuwait Rock Energy.

Regardless of the mere change in management model, the management of Kuwait Panshi Energy Company in full accordance with the strict management model of multinational enterprises can reduce corruption within the company by at least half. (To be continued.) )
