Chapter 778
A narrow strip of sea between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It covers an area of about 450,000 square kilometers. The Red Sea stretches southeast from Suez, Egypt to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and is about 2,100 kilometers long. The Bab el-Mandeb Strait connects to the Gulf of Aden and then to the Arabian Sea. At its widest point, the Red Sea is 306 km. Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia on the west bank and Saudi Arabia and Yemen on the east coast are across the sea. At the northern end, the Red Sea is divided into two parts: the shallow Gulf of Suez in the northwest and the Gulf of Aqaba in the northeast, with a depth of 1,676 meters.
The Red Sea is located between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, with a long and narrow shape, more than 1,900 kilometers long from northwest to southeast, a maximum width of 306 kilometers, and an area of 450,000 square kilometers. The northern end of the Red Sea forks into two small bays, the Gulf of Suez to the west, and is connected to the Mediterranean Sea by the Suez Canal, which runs through the Isthmus of Suez; To the east is the Gulf of Aqaba. The southern part is connected to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean by the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. It is an important passage connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Sea. It is an important oil transportation route. It has strategic value.
Lin Yu is not familiar with the Red Sea, and it cannot be said that he is not familiar with the Red Sea, it should be said that Lin Yu has not studied these geographical locations, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Yu is very energetic in this life, he doesn't even know that Kuwait belongs to Asia.
"Opposite to Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and other countries in Africa, it is an important passage between the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Sea, and many ships pass through here every year." Yang Zhigang sighed and said, "Mr. Lin, you came at the right time, and now is a good time to dive." November is the best time to dive in the Red Sea, as the weather is cool and the visibility in the sea is high. Now the wind and waves in the sea are strong, which is not very suitable for diving. The Red Sea is home to some of the world's most beautiful corals, colourful fish and a variety of exotic marine life. ”
When visiting the Red Sea, you must participate in water-friendly activities such as diving, fishing, and sea sightseeing. The Red Sea coast is an excellent place for water recreational sports, and there are many excellent beaches and sea playgrounds in coastal cities such as Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. Furthermore. The Red Sea is home to many beautiful corals, colorful fish and a variety of exotic marine life, rich in seabed resources, crystal clear waters, and high visibility. It is one of the best places in the world for diving.
The best time to travel to Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and other cities along the Red Sea is in October ~ May of the following year, which is the most suitable time to dive in the Red Sea, the weather is cool, the sea visibility is high, the water temperature is suitable for diving, and the wind and waves are stronger and the water is colder at other times, so you need to wear a thicker wetsuit when diving.
Lin Yu smiled. Before coming to Saudi Arabia, he also knew that the Red Sea is a paradise for Europeans with its glittering beaches, beautiful coral seas, abundant marine life and excellent hotels, and it is especially suitable for water sports. It is also one of the best resorts in the world for a wellness holiday, with its salty waters and black mud beaches that treat rheumatism and skin diseases. However, he didn't have that much time to stay here.
There are still a lot of oil futures contracts in Hong Kong. There are a lot of things waiting for him in China, and Cameron is urging himself to go to the United States again and go to Europe to meet a few people. Seeing that it is about to reach the end of the year again, all these things need to be decided by themselves, and there is no extra time to spend here.
A few people found a place by the beach, set up sun umbrellas, set up beach chairs, and after breakfast, they lay down on the chairs and enjoyed the cool sea breeze in the early morning. Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little sleepy again, so he fell asleep on the beach chair.
Wait until he wakes up again. The sun was almost in the sky, but there was one more person on the side. None other than Dudleyway!
As soon as Dudley returned to the hotel yesterday, he did not take a break, and immediately contacted the headquarters of Fudy Petroleum Holding Company and reported his speculation to the headquarters. The head office attached great importance to his news and gave him authorization. On behalf of Fudy Petroleum Holding Company, it is best to negotiate with Lin Yu, and it is best to buy all the remaining futures contracts in the other party's hands. Since it was twelve o'clock in the evening after contacting the headquarters, Du Deliwei didn't know if Lin Yu and the others had rested, so he got up early this morning and drove over, for fear that Lin Yu would go out. Who would have thought that when he rushed here, what he saw was Lin Yu sleeping on the beach chair, and Yang Zhigang and a few people sitting on the side chatting without a word.
The bodyguards will never leave Lin Yu's side, even if Lin Yu is sleeping there, they must ensure that they can rush over immediately when they are in danger.
After looking around, Lin Yu stood up and stretched, and said, "When did Mr. Dudley Wei come?" Why don't you call me? ”
Du Deliwei smiled: "Mr. Lin, it's not their fault, it's me who asked them not to wake you up." ”
Du Deliwei thought about it all night, at this time, when the world oil price was still in the upward channel, there was a strong atmosphere of reluctance to sell, and it was not easy for him to buy oil futures contracts from Lin Yu's hands. Therefore, the top priority is to use yesterday's help to contact Prince Abdullah and establish a good relationship with Lin Yu and them. This Chinese person pays attention to personal relations, if he can make a friend, maybe this thing will be easy to do. Moreover, Du Deliwei also realized that this person's net worth may not be comparable to himself, the Lin Consortium, what a mysterious existence, even if he is a consultant in it, it will earn more than himself, and he is not qualified to put any score in front of others. So, Dudleyway put his posture very low this time.
Lin Yu moved his body, and then looked at his watch, it was already past ten o'clock. He yawned, his eyelids still a little heavy. Although his soul is almost fifty years old, this body is a young man, and Lin Yu likes to take a nap when he is fine, plus he has been very busy in Saudi Arabia for the past two days, and he has not rested enough.
"Mr. Lin, coffee? Black tea? Or fruit juice? Mr. Dudleyway, but I've been waiting here for nearly two hours. Yang Zhigang asked with a smile.
Following Mr. Lin, it is really extraordinary. Now even the Arabian prince's car and villa have been enjoyed, that is, drinking tea on the beach, and there are people serving on the side.
Lin Yu shook his head and waved his hand at Yang Zhigang, and then he completely sobered up. He looked at Du Deliwei, the ancestor of China said that he was diligent in his work, and he was either a traitor or a thief. Du Deliwei waited here for nearly two hours, and he didn't let Yang Zhigang wake him up, eighty percent of them had something to use themselves. Thinking of him as the representative of the British Fudy Petroleum Holding Company in Kuwait, An Mingyuan already knew a little bit in his heart that eighty percent of him was here for oil.
However, it is good that world oil prices have gradually begun to stabilize, and even when the United States officially uses force against Iraq, there will be an upward movement. However, it will not cause a sharp rise in world oil prices, as Iraq did with Kuwait. And Lin Yu remembers very well that in his previous life, almost after a while, other oil-producing countries in the OPEC organization would increase production, and the United States would also use oil reserves to suppress oil prices, and the possibility of oil prices rising above $50 was almost negligible. With these oil futures contracts in their hands, it is unlikely that they will be able to obtain greater profits, and they will have to bear the risk of downward fluctuations in oil prices.
However, even if they want to suppress oil prices, these oil tycoons will definitely inform themselves, and if they do not notify themselves, they will arbitrarily suppress oil prices or increase oil prices, not to mention these oil tycoons, even Rockefeller and Morgan will not provoke themselves like this.
Although Lin Yu has hardly participated in such a meeting, he still has to maintain face.
However, this time Lin Yu has made a lot of money in the futures market, at least adding tens of billions of dollars to himself, you must know that now Lin Yu's industry can increase by tens of billions of dollars a year, and this time it has directly risen by tens of billions, which can be said to be rapid growth.
Coupled with those speculative funds in Europe and the United States, which is not a capital of hundreds of billions of dollars, it can even disrupt the normal financial market of a country.
However, Lin Yu is not short of oil, and his own oil field can now extract a lot of oil every year, but most of this crude oil is sold to China at international crude oil prices in exchange for Lin's status in Chinese politics.
Therefore, Lin Yu is not short of oil. If there is a suitable price, it is not impossible to sell these futures contracts.
However, the British have always been very cunning in the business field, and it is not so easy to take advantage of them. Judging from the information learned yesterday, although Fudy Petroleum Holding Company is not a top oil company in the United Kingdom, its scale is also quite large, and it can be seen from the fact that it imports millions of tons of oil from Kuwait every year.
"Yesterday, due to the rush of leaving, I did not have time to thank Mr. Dudleywi, thanks to your help, I have successfully completed my mission to Saudi Arabia this time." Lin Yu smiled and took the coffee pot from the servant on the side, and helped Du Deliwei fill the coffee with it.
"Mr. Lin is so polite, I Fudy Petroleum Holding Company has a lot of business dealings with Lin's Shipping Group Company, and is a business partner, and I am honored to be able to help the Lin Consortium and Mr. Lin this time." Du Deliwei said with a sincere face, "The president of our company is also very happy to learn that Mr. Lin and the Lin consortium have successfully achieved their goals. ”
