Section 731 Huge liabilities
Only Mexicans are enthusiastic about building oil pipelines. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
1.8 million barrels of oil were transported at one time, which is hard for them to imagine, because it means that the Chinese have to give Mexico 1.8 million US dollars a day, 1.8 million US dollars a day, how much is that year, more than 600 million US dollars!
This is an unimaginable wealth for Mexicans, they have only borrowed 500 million US dollars from the Chinese until now, and their oil production in one year is enough to repay the loan, and they don't have to borrow money from the Americans before, borrowing it becomes a Hades debt, repaying it year after year, but more and more.
Moreover, while the Chinese borrowed, they also helped Mexico build oil pipelines, help them develop natural gas, and let them have the ability to repay, which is a good friend who sincerely helps Mexico develop, even if the Americans play a good banner, in front of the performance of the Chinese, it seems so pale and hypocritical.
It can be said that in the fight for Mexico, Roosevelt lost badly.
Just when Mexicans were keen to calculate how many years they could earn each year, Rockefeller sued Petroleos Mexicanos in a complaint, and it was a court in the United States.
Rockefeller demanded that Petroleos Mexicanos pay them a huge amount of liquidated damages, and under the operation of Rockefeller's lawyers, Mexico transported its own oil through its own oil pipelines and sold it to China, which became a disguised infringement of the interests of the Rockefeller family, and they spread the cost of building a long oil pipeline on the Mexicans, and they said that the purpose of building these facilities was to transport Mexican oil, and the Mexican government signed a transportation agreement with the Rockefeller family. But they are no longer allowing the Rockefeller family business to help them transport oil, which has caused huge losses to the Rockefeller consortium.
As a result, the crude oil terminals and oil pipelines built by Rockefeller on the coast of the United States in the Gulf of Mexico have all been turned into fixed assets invested and built to transport the crude oil of Petroleos Mexicana, and now the Mexicans are in default, and Rockefeller has the right to demand that they compensate Rockefeller for his losses, and even pay a sum for the dismantling of these facilities.
Rockefeller's energy pushed the Roosevelt administration to send troops to attack Mexico, but it was still easy to get a small judge to rule in his favor.
The judge fully agreed to the Rockefeller consortium's request, immediately announced the results, and demanded that the U.S. government immediately seize all U.S. assets of the Mexican government and Petroleos Mexicanos.
The president could not interfere in the judicial process in the United States, and as a result, Rockefeller effectively temporarily froze all Mexican assets, including their deposits in American banks and some bonds.
Previously, due to the blockade of the US Navy, Petroleos Mexicanos has had to temporarily shut down natural gas production, causing losses of tens of thousands of dollars a day, and now the Americans have further frozen their assets, you must know that Mexico's foreign exchange is mainly US dollars, so Yangzi Petroleum Company gives them oil settlement money in US dollars, many of which are from the books of US banks, so Mexico has a lot of cash in US banks, up to 30 million US dollars.
The U.S. government's actions made Mexicans angry and made the Mexican government feel that it was really unsafe to put money in the United States, so at the suggestion of Yangzi Petroleum Company, the Mexican government announced that all future oil settlements would be settled in gold dollar bills, and would not be carried out through U.S. banks.
Mexico will establish a dedicated oil clearing bank in Mexico City to provide settlement services for the Mexican oil trade, including oil exports to Europe.
This is tantamount to tying Mexican oil to the Chinese currency, just as the US dollar was used for oil settlement in the Middle East, which will be the cornerstone of the hegemony of the gold dollar.
It took so much effort for Yang Chao to finally complete this layout, but it was really not easy.
And the cost is enormous.
In the past few years, watching Yang Chao spend a lot of money and invest all over the world, don't think that he really has so much money, it is all borrowed.
The battle between Yang Chao and Shi Dalin was really bankrupt, not a fake bankruptcy, and all his wealth was basically filled in.
In the end, the remaining funds had to support the 300,000 remaining soldiers of the Tsarist Knights of the Russian Empire, and it can be said that all his investments in the past few years were basically borrowed money.
In the United States, Yang Chao has completed a $10 billion investment layout, especially after the second round of economic crisis in the United States, Yang Chao has once again increased the absorption of shares in companies such as General Motors, General Electric, DuPont and American Steel Corporation, and now owns about 30% of these companies.
At the same time, it also holds a considerable number of shares in other companies, such companies can make a regular list, including Boeing, Douglas, Lockheed, Martin and Wright, Pratt & Whitney and other aircraft manufacturing enterprises, including Caterpillar, John Deere and other construction machinery and agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises, for the shares of such companies, Yang Chao can sell as much as he can, at least hold more than 10%, the vast majority of them are about 30%, Any more would have caused restrictions from the U.S. government.
Although the investment of 10 billion US dollars is a huge cost, Yang Chao knows that within a year, these companies can bring him more than 20 billion profits, because these companies can all make a windfall from the European war, but unfortunately it is difficult for him to buy shares in some companies even if he wants to, such as shares in Ford Motor Company, shipyards in the US Navy, and even shares in Rockefeller's oil company, otherwise he would have earned more.
The investment in the United States is huge, but even more in China, Yang Chao, who has long been the largest private investor in China during the crisis. Huge oil and gas pipelines, huge oil tanker fleets, oil reserve bases everywhere, and crude oil that is eaten frantically regardless of demand.
In the past two years, Yang Chao has not interrupted oil trade with Britain and the United States, and the annual import of 300 million barrels of petrodollars from Britain has decreased, and the import of American oil has increased by 300 million barrels, the Soviet Union and Russia have 300 million barrels of oil, and fragmentary oil imports from the South Seas and Mexico, which are basically close to 1 billion barrels per year.
It is impossible for China to consume so much oil, at most 500 million barrels per year, so in the past two years, Yang Chao has reserved 1 billion barrels of oil in the oil reserve bases in the Ryukyus, Guangzhou and Shandong, and the backlog of funds has reached 2 billion US dollars (with freight).
As long as the world war breaks out, the price of oil will definitely rise, and the price of a barrel of oil in the Chinese market will soar to 3 US dollars, which can instantly increase the value of Yang Chao's oil by 1 billion, and the cost of the backlog of funds will all be recovered.
Compared with the reserve of oil sources, the investment of oil tankers is even greater.
10,000 kilometers on the sea route between China and the United States, at most once a month, plus oil tanker maintenance, weather reasons, it is very good to be able to go ten round trips a year. The scale of crude oil trade between China and the United States is 300 million barrels, and Yang Chao's oil tanker is 50,000 tons, loaded with 350,000 barrels of crude oil, and each ship can transport up to 3.5 million barrels a year, and to transport 300 million barrels of oil, Yang Chao has to maintain 85 such tankers. The sea route from the Middle East to China is similar, the same 300 million barrels per year, and 85 such tankers have to be maintained.
In fact, Yangzi Petroleum Company built 200 such oil tankers, with a total tonnage of 10 million tons, which can be built in one year for China's 20 million tons of shipbuilding capacity.
20 million taels is equivalent to 50 million US dollars, which is more than the US-built Hornet aircraft carrier, but the shipyard's profits are really meager, because with the sharp rise in labor wages, although not everything is rising, the main cost of shipbuilding is steel and labor, and the artificial price has risen, and most of the steel used for shipbuilding is imported iron ore, and the price of steel in China has always been higher than that of the United States.
The most important thing is that the Americans shamelessly depreciated the dollar by 59 percent, and if it were exchanged for the previous dollar, the price would not be so exaggerated, 20 million taels is less than 30 million US dollars, and it is impossible to compare the price with a 20,000-ton aircraft carrier.
These 200 oil tankers cost Yang Chao 4 billion taels of silver, which is equivalent to just 10 billion US dollars.
According to the freight of 1 barrel of oil, the cost of going out can earn about 5 cents, and it can only earn 30 million US dollars by transporting 600 million barrels of oil a year, so the whole world thinks that Yang Chao will lose money on this deal, because it will take him at least 300 years to earn back the investment, and these oil tankers obviously cannot be used for 300 years.
But they didn't think at all, Yang Chao didn't plan to make money through oil tankers, he promoted a complete set of crude oil transportation and storage system, transportation is the cornerstone of it, transportation can not make money, or even lose money, but other aspects can get rich benefits, just like China's two barrels of oil, at every turn to say that their oil refining business is losing money, regardless of the state to pay a lot of subsidies, at the end of the year, as soon as the accounts are settled, they immediately announced that they are the most profitable enterprises in the world, and take all the profits to Hong Kong to distribute dividends to international shareholders.
Yang Chao lost a lot of money in transportation, but completely drove Rockefeller and Royal Shell out of China's oil transportation industry.
Not only that, Yang Chao also continued to invest in natural gas ships, not only built in China, but also took out funds to entrust Rockefeller to help build 100 natural gas ships, which made the American shipbuilding industry happy, but also made Rockefeller begin to wonder, could it be that natural gas really has so much potential that can make Yang Zi's consortium desperate crazy investment?
After investing in other fields, after the construction of the Siberian oil and gas pipeline, Yang Chao's pipeline construction has not stopped, has been investing in construction, and now 10,000 kilometers of oil and gas pipelines have been built, and the cost per kilometer has reached 20,000 taels of silver, plus the attached pressurization station, reserve and transfer station and other ancillary facilities, the total expenditure has reached 200 million taels, equivalent to 500 million US dollars.
There is also the Bohai Tunnel is actually Yang Chao the first to invest in the construction, trust to the railway company to use, according to the volume, each ton of goods charged 1 to 5 taels of silver, passenger transport is charged 2 taels per person of the unified fare, can get freight income of nearly 100 million taels per year, and because Yang Chao used the 'Shenlong', the total cost of this project is less than 300 million taels in the end, then the value of this project is considerable, if it is sold on the stock market, with a price-earnings ratio of 10 times, the annual income of 100 million taels can also buy 1 billion taels.
Yang Chao also plans to invest in 100 natural gas generator sets, along the gas pipeline to those places where it is inconvenient to set up power grids, due to some of the use of some expensive high-temperature alloy materials, the total cost of each unit is about 1 million taels, which is another 100 million taels of investment, plus plants, substation equipment, the total investment is also more than 200 million taels.
There is also the investment of Yang Zi Laboratory, the TV project, the walkie-talkie project and other venture capital, and the bits and pieces Yang Chao has invested 5 billion taels in recent years, all of which are not his own funds, all of them are debts.
It can be said that he is now the poorest person in the world, with a debt of 5 billion taels, equivalent to 12.5 billion US dollars.
If these projects are not profitable in the short term, he will definitely go bankrupt, and this time it will really be bankrupt.
Thankfully, a world war was about to break out. (To be continued.) )
