679. Aussie Express!
When it comes to Australia, many people think of kangaroos, sloths and other animals, as well as the warm sunshine, the endless savannah, and those herds of cattle and sheep.
It is true that although the history of the development of this country is short, it can only be said that the legacy left to them by the ancestors of the British is too rich, as the latest continent to be discovered on Shijie, everything here has been completely preserved.
With a population of more than 20 million, the land area within the top 10 of Shijie, although a large part of the land is from the wasteland or desert area, but God really loves the people here so much, leaving them with rich natural resources that they can hardly imagine.
In the early days, they could smoothly develop into an economically developed country by exporting wool, beef and mutton, and dairy products from countries such as Europe and the United States.
After entering the first decade of the 21 st century, their economic development has embarked on an unimaginable fast lane, and the reason why they have been able to develop so rapidly is that they have hitched a ride on the rapid development of China's economy, and they have relied on the export of various natural resources like China's in large quantities, so that they have achieved such economic development achievements.
When the Australian took the fast express train of Huaguo Express, Li Yifan pondered how to catch their express train.
In the next few years, Australia's economic development has created a miracle, originally their biggest trade partner was the United Kingdom, then Japan, then the United States, but a few years later. Their largest trading partner. It became Huaguo.
Because of their rogue means. There is also the stupidity and incompetence of some leading units in China, and it can be said that they have taken what they want in their business dealings with China and made unimaginable huge profits.
Such a smooth appearance process made them even disdain the foreign trade economy with the Americans for a while, and the exchange rate with the US dollar should have been fixed between one to two, and even ten years later, it reached the point of one to one.
At that time, the Australian even planned to open up a channel for free exchange with the RMB. Allowing the Chinese government to pay for the Australian resources they want to buy in renminbi once made the Yankees very angry, and even did not hesitate to get a few senior Australian officials to step down.
After all, this country is a white Christian country, although the economic development of China is quite hot, but after all, it still has to give face to the suzerain, so Zuihou their two-faced actions have left a very unpleasant impression on the Chinese government.
Even Li Yifan's impression of them is very average. It can even be said to be very poor!
In this way, pit Australians a few times. Of course, he has no psychological pressure at all, and even he can't wait for the Australians to vomit blood.
Thinking that it will be done, this DSI can't be acquired anyway, and Rio Tinto's financing plan is not going well, and the money in his hand can't be left like this, how should he find a reasonable place to go, Li Yifan moved this mind to the territory of Australians.
Although God has given them a lot of good things, there is one of the most critical things, but they are extremely scarce, and such things are become industrial blood, and they are currently the most precious resource oil on Shijie!
When I thought that when I looked at the desert in the Middle East and could spew out a few oil wells with a casual digging, the Aussies also used to turn purple with red eyes, and they used various means to find all kinds of talents and equipment to conduct a large-scale investigation and investigation of the local desert and desert areas.
Even the British and Americans have intervened in such investigations, after all, this continent has more than 8 million square kilometers of face, who knows what will be hidden in the ground here?
This kind of land survey has been carried out for more than ten years, and it was not completed until the early sixties, but the results of the investigation are very disappointing, and everyone turns this land upside down, but unfortunately in addition to finding some mineral deposits that everyone already knows, other mineral deposits have also found a lot, but they have not found the oil that everyone wants the most.
Even now, more than 95 percent of the country's oil supply has been imported from the Middle East.
And the other 5 percent or so share is just some small oil companies in their country, found in the corners of the country to supply some small oil fields, and the production of these fields can really only be described as miserable enough.
In recent decades, with the development of science and technology, the offshore drilling platform Jishu has been continuously developed, and the Australians have once again ignited their ambition to find oil, but this time they have set their sights on their offshore generation, especially near the equatorial side, after all, neighboring countries like Indonesia can drill oil wells from their offshore continental shelf, Weishenme himself can't?
Therefore, in recent times, there has been a wave of exploration fever in Australia's offshore field, and many of the companies involved are actually small Australian oil companies with speculative psychology.
Among them was an oil company called dirham, which caught Li Yifan's attention, partly because of its interesting name, and partly because of the company, which was later involved in a high-level corruption case in the petrochemical industry in China.
Speaking of this dirham company, there was also a time when this company was just a small local oil exploration company in Australia.
There are so many small oil fields that are not good or bad, but the daily output of those oil fields is really low and a little pitiful, a few together, it is only about a few thousand barrels per day, supplied to Australia, because of the geographical advantage, so relying on the advantages of transportation, they can also barely maintain, in the gap between BP, Shell, and Mobil and other giants, they can survive and earn some hard-earned money.
Although it is also listed on the Sydney financial market, their stock price has always been suppressed at a pitiful price of a few cents, and the company's market value is even worse than the coke company of Riversdale Mining Ltd mentioned by Li Yifan before, with a plate of more than 100 million Australian dollars at the highest time, and less than 100 million at the low.
The company has had a hard time lately, as they lost a lot of money and had to mortgage their company's small fleet of petrol pipelines and gas station system some time ago after a failed exploration in Darwin's offshore.
Now I heard that they are saving up liliang and are planning to do a vote, but Li Yifan, who is a person who has come over, knows that this vote has made them prosperous.
This time, they chose to explore off the coast of Perth, and this time, they directly found two oil wells, and these two oil wells, when they first erupted, turned out to be the kind of high-production oil wells with a daily production of more than 10,000 barrels.
The company's share price jumped from one Australian dollar before the oil well was found to twenty Australian dollars in just one month, and the company's size increased twentyfold in one month.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and after another month, the market suddenly broke out, their oil wells began to produce water, and the news of a sharp drop in production made the high-yield oil field with a daily output of 10,000 barrels become a medium-class oil field with a daily output of only about 4,000 barrels within a few months.
And their share price fell from 20 Australian dollars at the peak to 3 dollars and 4 Australian dollars a share in an instant.
On the other hand, the situation of the two oil wells they just found continues to deteriorate, and if the development of this script continues, the company will die, even if they have other assets, they will be dragged to death by these two oil fields.
But at this time, a wronged boss automatically came to the door, and this company was Huaguo Petrochemical, and at this time, they actually spent 560 million US dollars, or 4.4 billion yuan, to acquire these two oil fields.
At that time, the Australian guy was stupid, I thought I was stupid enough, but I didn't expect a stupid B to fall from the sky!
So Australia's Foreign Investment Management Board even approved the deal at an unprecedented speed, took the check from the Chinese, sold the non-performing assets, and made a special profit, and the dirham company also came back to life, making Huaguo stupid B cry.
Sure enough, five years later, the two oil fields acquired by Huaguo Petrochemical were completely finished, and even the dirham company played a golden cicada shell, and other companies were simply delisted from the Sydney market, and they changed their names and continued to operate their other excellent assets, leaving only Huaguo Petrochemical, which was a chicken feather, looking at the two oil fields in a daze.
If Li Yifan hadn't participated in the investigation of the case, and if he had read the internal information when he learned about the case before chasing him abroad, he would never have thought that Huaguo Petrochemical would have made such a ridiculous investment move.
However, as long as you analyze it carefully, you will find that there are a lot of infighting among the company's top executives, office politics with absolute heads, and leaders who have received black money and simply don't take state-owned assets seriously.
Now that he has been reborn, he must not let the Aussie pit us once this time! (To be continued......)
