866 Crude Oil Buyers and Sellers in Their Own Struggles
The "...... of Sizz" wanted to say something, but was glared at by the shipowner.
"As the world's largest shipping company, if you don't even have this vision, can you do it?" said the ship king sternly, "tell him that although the business is not very big this time, risks and opportunities coexist." How to choose, it is up to him, I do not interfere. In addition, arrange for someone to investigate the owner of this batch of crude oil. ”
The men took the order and left.
"The world is getting more and more interesting!" the Ship King slowly fell into deep thought with a smile on his lips.
Given such a transportation price, it is clear that this oil is not owned by the original energy company.
"Wait a minute!" his men were about to go out, and the Ship King stopped him, "Where are the people over there?"
His subordinates were puzzled and didn't understand what the ship king meant.
"Arrange for him to come and see me. "The Boat King really wants to see each other.
The subordinate shook his head, "Sir, the other party went to Singapore." And it's not that we are asked to charter our tankers, but that we only pay for freight, and only for safety, regardless of other ......"
The Ship King frowned.
Most of his shipping business is bought by Universal Corporation, which is then leased to companies that need it, sign long-term charter contracts, and collect monthly rent.
People all over the world know it.
But someone reported the news to him, and even his subordinates reported the news to themselves very seriously.
"The other party doesn't understand the situation?"
"Understood. Now we still have more than 20 tankers in our hands that have not been leased...... Most of them are tankers that were previously leased to PetroSingapore, and the leasing company is not renewing the lease......" the assistant explained.
Most of the tankers in their hands are engaged in the task of transporting crude oil from the Persian Gulf to the Asian region.
"What is Su Haiwen doing?" the ship king finally understood why his assistant would tell him this.
More than two dozen oil tankers were all idle, but he didn't know it.
"Sir, the world economy is growing slowly, and we are constantly facing more and more competitors......
"Got it. The ship king suppressed his anger, "Arrange it, let's go to Singapore and have a look." ”
"Sir, isn't that appropriate?" asked the assistant.
The ship's king didn't speak, and the assistant stood for a few seconds, then hurriedly turned around and went out to make arrangements.
"Xie Kai, can we really get them? Why don't we lease some oil tankers to transport them ourselves?" Tan Lin asked Xie Kai, "The more than 20 oil tankers of more than 100,000 tons that Universal Company leased to Singapore before, let's rent them and transport them ourselves?"
"If you want to take this, you can do it. Xie Kai looked at Tan Lin.
Tan Lin's insight is quite keen.
It's just that if you can't negotiate with the refining company, it's really not a problem.
The Iran-Iraq war will not last long.
Moreover, the price of international crude oil will be lowered when the world economy is down.
"Forget it. You ...... this batch of crude oil," Tan Lin finally sighed, "Over there in Singapore, the specific situation can only be known when we get it." ”
"It's better than having nothing to know and having a black eye. ”
Zhang Rui frowned after receiving Tan Lin's call.
There were a lot of phone calls, and none of them had anything to do with the top management of Singapore's three major oil companies.
Tan Lin expressed very clearly that he wanted the top management of the three major oil companies.
"It's okay to find someone from the transportation company, but where can I find the top management of the oil company now? Those bastards are probably worried about where to get oil!" Zhang Rui put down the phone, a little angry. "This bastard, it's getting harder and harder to scout right now!"
She has been in Singapore for many years, and has always helped Tan Lin take care of some transportation matters.
I don't usually deal with people in the energy system at all.
"It seems that I can only ask them if the people in the transportation department have any channels, if not, let him find a relationship by himself!" Zhang Rui can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
She didn't want to make this call, because the old guy wasn't a good thing, and the way she looked at her was always so abnormal.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and dialed the phone, and the phone rang for a long time before I heard a gasping question inside, "What's the matter?"
"Minister Huang, I'm Zhang Rui......" Zhang Rui secretly scolded the old bastard in her heart, her face was extremely disgusted, but she had to use a happy tone.
"You're going to get oil? As you know, the three refining companies are under-operating and short of crude oil...... Of course, if you want to do it, it's not impossible, so why don't you come to my house for a good talk in a while?"
Zhang Rui hung up the phone directly.
"The old man is not dead, and he is not afraid that he will have the wind right away and die on the belly of a woman!" Zhang Rui knew what the other party wanted.
But she couldn't do it.
Looking at the time, Tan Lin was almost there.
hurriedly freshened up and put on makeup, and then drove to the airport, all the way, thinking about how to explain to Tan Lin.
"Brother Tan, why is he here? This battle around him is not small!" Zhang Rui was still wondering at first, why Tan Lin asked her to book so many rooms.
Tan Lin smiled, "It's for his business." ”
"Who is he!" Thinking that it was for Xie Kai, a person who had nothing to do with him, the more Zhang Rui thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he didn't go, "Do you know it, just to hook up with the high-level executives of several oil companies, the old bastard surnamed Huang asked me to go to his house!"
"What?" Tan Lin was also on fire.
A woman who dares to touch herself.
"I'm excited, my mother hasn't gone yet. After looking around, I knew the old bastard...... What kind of oil are you doing at this time? Now countless oil tankers are parked in the port waiting to transport oil!" Zhang Rui said with a roll of her eyes.
Singapore made its fortune on transit trade, and although it does not have a drop of oil, it is one of the world's three largest oil refining centers.
The lack of crude oil has no small impact on the refining industry of the entire country.
Moreover, Singapore does not have as many sources of crude oil as New York and Rotterdam.
From the Gulf of Mexico to the Caribbean sea of oil, the transportation cost is enough for them!
"We don't buy oil, we sell oil. If that old guy dares to hit you again, Lao Tzu will kill him. By the way, you go back with me this time, after so many years, it's time to give you an explanation. Tan Lin's tone was very excited at first, but soon became gentle.
"Forget it, I've given up on this idea since the day I decided to go with you. Zhang Rui said quietly, "Can you get past home?"
"Before, it couldn't, but now it can. Xie Kai can help, he is a celebrity now. Tan Lin did not reveal more.
"Be careful!" Zhang Rui was a little disbelieving, and lost her mind for a while, the car thought about the green belt next to her, and Tan Lin hurriedly straightened the steering wheel.
"What is his identity?" Zhang Rui was shocked, parked the car on the side of the road, and let Tan Lin drive it. "How can you change the minds of those stubborn old men?"
"Don't ask so much, the more you know, the worse it is. Tan Lin shook his head.
Xie Kai's identity can't be told to Zhang Rui.
"By the way, where does the oil come from? Does he personally own oil wells? But I've heard people say that there are quite a few people on the mainland who invest in oil wells. Zhang Rui asked.
Tan Lin smiled bitterly.
How much oil can an oil well produce in a day?
Even if it is a large oil field, the production of tens of millions of barrels is not a short time.
"Middle Eastern. Therefore, there is no need to find a relationship at all, as long as someone can pass on the words, not to mention the three major oil companies, even Singapore's oil minister, they have to take the initiative to find it. Tan Lin said.
"Anyone can buy oil from the Middle East, but the problem can't be shipped. Zhang Rui was speechless.
Singapore's major media are talking about the Iran-Iraq war every day, and they are scolding the two bastard countries every day, because they attack each other's merchant ships and oil tankers that transport oil and goods, and most of the oil tankers over there are ships carrying oil to Singapore.
As a result, Singapore's oil shortfall is nearly half!
There is a shortage of oil throughout Singapore.
Singapore's oil industry is dominated by three major oil companies, Shell, ExxonMobil and PetroSingapore. Of course, there are also some small oil companies, and the smelting capacity has been growing since the establishment of PetroSingapore in '69.
This time, however, the young oil company's lack of crude oil has shrunk the company's business and made it unable to compete with companies such as Shell and ExxonMobil.
Established multinationals have abundant sources of oil.
"We now have less than 200,000 barrels of crude oil a day, and Shell and ExxonMobil are constantly grabbing our orders...... "A meeting is going on inside Petro's company that has lasted for hours.
There is only one topic - crude oil.
"At the moment in the Persian Gulf, the largest number of ships sunk in Asia. Zhao Linchen, manager of the purchasing department, reported the situation, "The refineries of the other two companies were also affected, but not as much as ours. ”
The various strengths of the established companies are not comparable to them.
"Whatever you do, even at a higher price, you have to get enough crude oil. "In the end, the board came up with such a result.
Then, the pressure fell on Zhao Linchen.
As the head of the purchasing department, he can't get crude oil, so that the operation of the whole company can't continue, and his ability will naturally be questioned.
"Manager, what are we going to do? It's not that there is no crude oil, it's that the shipping companies are not willing to enter the Persian Gulf, even if it is to raise the price of transportation, they are not willing. Yang Jiayan, as the deputy manager of the purchasing department, was still thinking about squeezing Zhao Linchen down.
But now, there is no thought.
It's not the lack of oil, it's the lack of guts to transport it.
Iraq and the Persians are frying oil tankers.
Not only the opponent's bomb, but also Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and other countries were bombed.
"Hasn't the United States made a decision to send an escort fleet yet?" Zhao Linchen asked.
His men shook their heads.
If the American convoy enters the Persian Gulf, then these are not problems.
"Where can I get enough crude oil now?"
"Ask the person in charge of the major transportation companies to tell them that we can raise the price of crude oil transportation to 1 dollar, and if there is any company that can help us make more than 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day, we will increase the reward by 20 cents per barrel!" Zhao Linchen had no choice but to continue to increase the transportation price, looking forward to solving this problem, "In addition, make an appointment with the person in charge of the Universal Company and the Oriental Company, if not, we will rent the ship ourselves!"
