Chapter 748: Finalizing Cooperation
Lu Shaohua obviously forgot that it is still unknown whether he can reach cooperation intentions with those three oil companies. Even if the cooperation intention is reached, there are still many details to be discussed, and the delay may not be too small.
In fact, when Phoenix Petroleum replied that it was interested in cooperating with the three oil companies, the three oil companies were very sincere and sent heavyweights to Hong Kong the next day to negotiate with Phoenix Oil.
After a day-long negotiation, the two companies finally reached a cooperation intention, and finally decided to set up a new energy company, affiliated with Phoenix Oil, which owns 51% of the shares, occupies the dominant position, and the other three companies each sent three experienced employees to help run the company.
Of course, the intention of cooperation has been reached, but many details have not yet been finalized, and negotiations will continue on the third day, this time on the transportation of oil and weather fuel.
Even if the three oil companies are united, they still have differences in the control of shares, and how much transportation volume one company occupies has become the focus of discussion.
However, this is nothing to do with Phoenix Oil, because as early as when the cooperation intention has not been reached, Phoenix Oil has made it clear that Phoenix Oil will not be responsible for transporting oil and natural gas, that is, Phoenix Oil is only responsible for operation and does not play the role of a supplier.
But after all, it is a union of four companies, even if it is not about Phoenix Oil, but the negotiation still has to be discussed, and in the end, Phoenix Oil made a peacemaker, and the three companies were evenly distributed and impartial, so that this cooperation was finalized.
However, by the time the cooperation was finalized, five days had passed, which meant that it took two days to negotiate the transfer share, which was really fiercely competitive.
As for the cooperation between three well-known oil companies and a shell oil company, Phoenix Oil, a shell oil company, has been finalized, cutting the big cake of the Asian market.
Finally, the day after the cooperation was finalized, the four companies jointly held a press conference. The press conference announced that four companies would each contribute $100 million to raise funds to form a new energy company, and then three companies would act as suppliers to the new company to deliver oil and weather to the new company.
At the press conference, a reporter also asked the three suppliers how much it would cost to transport oil and natural gas, but it was cleverly resolved because the issue was a trade secret and it was inconvenient to disclose.
The issue of price was also discussed intensely when the cooperation was finalized, and the cooperation was finally finalized by providing the lowest price according to the market price.
Lu Shaohua is not a fool, people come to the door to cooperate is nothing more than to see the huge market cake in Asia, and Lu Shaohua established Phoenix Oil Company for money, to make more and more money, in terms of the price of supply, of course Lu Shaohua has to strive for the lowest price.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Lu Shaohua feel very strange, that is, the three companies that have joined together seem to be very eager to cooperate with Phoenix Oil, which is a bit abnormal, so that Lu Shaohua has to be vigilant.
After thinking about it, Lu Shaohua finally understood that the three companies were afraid that Phoenix Oil would go it alone, and they were so eager that in addition to wanting to share the big cake of the Asian market, they also wanted to curb the rise of Phoenix Oil.
But can it be contained?
Lu Shaohua felt funny, with Lu Shaohua's current strength, not to mention that the three companies joined forces to contain it, even if the oil companies all over the world joined forces, it would be impossible to stifle it.
Don't forget, Lu Shaohua has a crude oil warehouse in the mountains of the African Tiger Roar base, where a large amount of crude oil is stored, countless crude oil, with this, if Lu Shaohua wants to go it alone, they will not be able to curb the development of Phoenix Oil.
Also, the backer behind the Saudi Arabian royal family is the Tiger Roar base, and the relationship with Lu Shaohua is extraordinary, and many oil companies in the world have cooperative relations with the Saudi Arabian royal family, if Lu Shaohua is willing, the Saudi Arabian royal family will definitely terminate the cooperation with everyone, only with Phoenix Oil.
With these two points, Lu Shaohua is sure to dominate the oil field, well, just with certainty, not 100%, Lu Shaohua still needs to build momentum, and when the momentum is stored to the top, Lu Shaohua will break out again, so that he will be 100% sure to control oil.
Well, that's a long way off...... In Lu Shaohua's mind, the intentions of the three companies were very hidden, but there was still no way to escape Lu Shaohua's eyes, and he already knew their true purpose. In this regard, Lu Shaohua didn't mind, let them go, who made Lu Shaohua think about it now just to make money.
…… It can be said that when the cooperation between the four companies was finalized, there was an uproar in the field of oil, and at the same time, there were many oil companies who could not understand what was going on with the three companies, nor could they understand why Phoenix Oil did not choose to go it alone at this time.
Of course, the incomprehensible is incomprehensible, and they are thinking about another thing, which is that they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they don't see a powerful oil company rising, which is an immutable fact.
How powerful is the Phoenix Group?
In the business world, the Phoenix Group is no longer the group company that was not ranked a few years ago, since the Asian financial crisis showed its strength, the Phoenix Group has surpassed the scope of the world company rankings, and has become a special existence.
Such a company, such an invisible company wants to enter any industry can undoubtedly succeed, even if it is to enter the oil industry, there is no doubt that the Phoenix Group has a lot of checks, just need to smash it hard, then it will definitely succeed.
Predictably, checks add influence, and success is only a matter of time. But it's such a company, but they don't do it alone, how can they not breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Shaohua didn't have the heart to pay attention to those things, and his attention was now focused on Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company.
Speaking of Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company, we have to mention the memories of Lu Shaohua's previous life. After several years of development, this company has entered the 21st century and ranks second in the world, second only to Microsoft, which shows how great its potential is.
For such a company, Lu Shaohua holds 17% of the shares in his hands, so he naturally doesn't want to let go, but as Lu Shaohua finalizes the cooperation with the other three companies, the breakdown of the relationship between the two parties is also predictable.
Royal Dutch Shell withdrew from the Asian market, and this is the only answer.
However, the shareholders of Royal Dutch Shell are very reluctant, they do not want to withdraw from the Asian market like this, but they can't go it alone and can't compete with the newly established energy company, and they have lost the banner of Phoenix Oil, which is really difficult to ride a tiger.
It was they who first abandoned the Phoenix Petroleum Company, and now they are 17% owned by Phoenix Financial, and they are subject to the Phoenix Group on the board of directors, if they want to go it alone and compete with the newly established energy company of Phoenix Petroleum, the Phoenix Group will definitely not be willing.
The left one didn't work, the right one didn't, and in the end, after the first and second largest shareholders secretly discussed, they chose to negotiate with the Phoenix Group to see if there was a way to share the big cake of the Asian market in a peaceful way.
Lu Shaohua was amused by this move of the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company, which really confirmed the old saying: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." ”
If it weren't for their unilateral breach of the contract, they wouldn't have become what they are today, but there is no regret medicine in this world, and Royal Dutch Shell can only mourn behind closed doors.
However, no matter what, now that the Phoenix Group is also a shareholder of the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company, it can be said that the quality of the business of the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company is related to Lu Shaohua's interests, and Lu Shaohua certainly does not want to see the company with shares sinking.
In the end, after a secret agreement between many parties, Lu Shaohua ordered that in the Asian market, the newly established energy company deliberately released water and let the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company participate in the Asian market, which can be regarded as giving the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company a way to live.
The newly established energy company is dominated by the Phoenix Petroleum Company, and the Phoenix Petroleum Company has the absolute right to operate, and it lies in Phoenix Petroleum and Lu Shaohua, the boss of Phoenix Petroleum Company, that it can be said that Lu Shaohua alone has the final say.
Lu Shaohua agreed to release the water, then it is to give the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company a way to live, an excellent opportunity, although it will shrink a lot compared with before, but there is a space for survival, and the shareholders of the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company are more satisfied.
All of a sudden, the Asian market became a mess, with four genuine oil companies involved, and then Phoenix Oil, a shell company, which looked a bit like the rise of a group of champions.
However, it is undeniable that in the chaotic scene, although Phoenix Oil is an empty shell oil company, how to look at it is the focus, whether it is a genuine oil company, it is inseparable from Phoenix Oil, once they leave Phoenix Oil, they will not be able to play.
In this way, Phoenix Petroleum occupies a dominant position, an irreplaceable position, and the most active and transcendent company, and at the same time, it is also the leader and the most profitable company.
In this regard, Lu Shaohua is very satisfied, who doesn't like to make money, Lu Shaohua is also a person, seeing the company make money, Lu Shaohua is naturally happy, at the same time, Phoenix Shipping Company has also improved with the expansion of business, has a larger market, can be said to be the biggest beneficiary.
The benefits have been taken up by Lu Shaohua, how can Lu Shaohua not be happy, sweeping away the gloomy mood of being oppressed by a high-level of the country some time ago, and turning to the blue sky and white clouds, happy all day long, looking very happy.
However, this kind of thing didn't last for a few days, and another incident happened, which made Lu Shaohua's mood after not being happy for a few days become gloomy again, and it was terrifyingly gloomy.
