My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

The representative of Huayang Company is a middle-aged man in his forties named Qin Xiaotian. He is dark and thin, and he looks like the kind who has been traveling all year round.

"Oh, Mr. Xiao really has admired him for a long time, he has admired him for a long time!"

The meeting place was in the mansion on Chenjiadao, and Qin Xiaotian was very polite when he saw Xiao Feng.

Apparently, he has already figured out Xiao Feng's affairs thoroughly, knowing who is in charge of the Kalapago Islands.

"Hello, Mr. Qin?"

Xiao Feng smiled and shook hands with Qin Xiaotian. Yesterday, when he received a call from Mr. Zhu in the 521 Hospital, Xiao Feng knew that Huayang Petroleum was not easy.

At the very least, the background of the military must be indispensable, otherwise it would be impossible for Mr. Zhu from the 521 Hospital to help them make a call.

As the host, Chen Yonglu greeted everyone to sit down and drink tea, and then Xiao Feng began to test the opponent's routine.

And when Qin Xiaotian mentioned this, he didn't hide it from Xiao Feng, and directly started a bitter relationship with him.

"Hey, Mr. Xiao, we are actually an overseas branch of Huaguo Petroleum..."

What Qin Xiaotian said was also very straightforward. They seem to be an independent company, but in fact they are still inextricably linked with Huaguo Petroleum.

"Mr. Xiao must have heard of the loan owed by Venezuela to Huaguo, right?"

"Well, I heard that there are still a lot of debts, and there are tens of billions of dollars before and after?"

"Yes, Venezuela now owes us a total of 65 billion US dollars, but it has never been able to pay back the debt. It has made us very passive, the domestic pressure is also great, and many jokes have been made internationally. But Venezuela They also offered to use oil to repay the debt, but now we are facing a problem."

Qin Xiaotian was very straightforward, he got straight to the point when he came up, and it could be seen that he was under a lot of pressure.

And he must have learned about Xiao Feng's personality through the military, and his personal attitude towards the military and the country, so he didn't intend to hide it.

As for Chen Yonglu, he was naturally the one he wanted to win over.

Once the Kalapago Islands are developed and built, it will naturally be very beneficial to China to have an island country with Chinese as the main body in the direction of the southeast Pacific Ocean.

So Qin Xiaotian didn't mean to hide it from the two of them, besides, even if the business cannot be negotiated, it's no big deal.

"A question about getting the oil back?"

Xiao Feng smiled and said to Qin Xiaotian that he has been studying the development and sales of Venezuelan Petroleum for the past two days, so he has a thorough understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of Venezuelan Petroleum.

Qin Xiaotian smiled wryly: "It seems that Mr. Xiao, you have also studied the oil in Venezuela?"

"Well, I won't hide it from you. I also wanted to get involved in the oil business before, but after some research, I found that Venezuela's oil is really not easy to deal with."

"Yes! Even though their proven oil reserves are the highest in the world, most of them are heavy oil like bitumen, and the cost of extraction is very high. On average, a barrel costs 23 US dollars, while a barrel in Saudi Arabia is only 10 US dollars. In addition, there is the problem of transportation. It takes about 26,000 kilometers to send oil tankers from Venezuela to China. The transportation cost of oil from Venezuela to China is more than ten dollars per barrel, which is really uneconomical. Purification and refining also cost more. So last year, our country has suspended oil imports from Venezuela.

"

Qin Xiaotian told Xiao Feng the cost of transporting oil from Venezuela back to China, Xiao Feng nodded, and it was indeed not too different from their previous estimate.

"What is the international oil price to ensure the balance of payments?"

Xiao Feng asked again. In fact, he did some calculations, and the oil from Venezuela was transported to the country, but it was actually profitable.

why? Because it is more expensive to extract oil domestically.

When the international crude oil price is lower than 60 US dollars, if a barrel of oil is not produced in China, it is actually a loss of money.

why? If you understand it, you will understand it naturally.

In Venezuela, the cost of mining was 23 dollars, and selling it to Huaguo was 30 dollars a barrel, plus 10 dollars for the shipping cost to the country, and 10 dollars for the purification cost.

In addition to all kinds of labor, loss and other costs, in fact, the cost price of a barrel of oil is only about 55 US dollars, so it is actually profitable to transport Venezuelan oil back to China.

But why do domestic purchases stop for one year?

Or because oil in the Middle East is too cheap, Saudi Arabia, and Persia are constantly making troubles in the Middle East because of the United States, and various political forces are constantly stirring up trouble in the Middle East.

In order to win over China, these countries export oil to China at very low prices, so it is more cost-effective to purchase oil from the Middle East.

But what about Venezuela? 65 billion U.S. dollars, you can’t just let it go?

Even some time ago, Venezuela proposed to pay Huaguo a debt of 3 billion U.S. dollars in advance by paying off its debts with oil.

But the deal did not take place in the end because the United States made trouble from it.

The United States is too close to Venezuela, and the United States still guards the Panama Strait.

Venezuela's oil needs to be transported to the country, so it is impossible to go to Panama. It can only go to South Africa, cross the Indian Ocean, go to Malacca and then return to China.

Or cross the Strait of Magellan and go back to China through the Pacific Ocean.

However, no matter which route to take, it is very dangerous, and the ship may be detained by the Americans at any time.

This is also the main reason why the $3 billion debt has not been repaid smoothly.

"Now the higher-ups ask us Huayang Petroleum to complete this debt collection work... Hey, I am also the first and the second big now, and this debt is not good. Venezuela is willing to cooperate with it, but the key is how Bring the oil back."

Qin Xiaotian poured out bitterness in front of Xiao Feng and Chen Yonglu, but Xiao Feng smiled.

"Boss Qin, you found us, you didn't come to ask us to pour out your sorrows, did you?"

"Ah ha ha……"

President Qin laughed, he didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so straightforward.

He pondered for a while, then lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath and said.

"Actually, I came to Mr. Xiao and Boss Chen this time to rent a few islands north of the Kalapago Islands. We plan to build an oil storage base there, and we are also building a refining and storage plant."

Xiao Feng had expected this kind of result a long time ago, and Chen Yonglu's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Boss Qin, can you explain it carefully?"

"In fact, we have finalized an oil compensation agreement with Venezuela, and Venezuela is very willing to use oil to pay off debts. But the problem that bothers us now is how to transport the oil back to China. Now the United States is sanctioning Venezuela, so Venezuela Venezuela’s oil cannot be traded at all, and only a few companies in the world are willing to accept it. We are one, but it is a difficult problem to transport Venezuela’s oil back to the country. Ocean transportation of oil must use large tankers to have economic value, but large cruise ships Now it's hard to cross the Panama Canal..."

This is the key that has always troubled Qin Xiaotian.

For example, the mainstream oil tankers in the world now start with a minimum of 100,000 tons, and even 200,000 tons, 300,000 tons, and 400,000 tons.

But the problem is that such a large tanker cannot pass through the Panama Canal at all, and can only take the South African route, and the South African route will greatly increase the cost.

If tankers can take the Panama route, it will greatly save the cost of transporting oil back home.

The maximum throughput of the Panama Canal is now about 80,000 tons.

"...So our idea is to load a ship from Venezuela, with an 80,000-ton ship, pass through the Panama Canal, and then arrive at the Kalapago Islands, without transiting here, and use a 400,000-ton tanker to reload the ship and transport it back to China. In this way, the cost of transporting oil back to the country can be greatly saved. According to our estimation, the journey will save about 10,000 nautical miles, and because there is one less strait, the final transportation cost can save five dollars..."

I have to say that Qin Xiaotian's idea is very creative. In fact, some people have thought of doing this before.

It's a pity that the Kalapago Islands hadn't risen at that time, and Huaguo Petroleum hadn't found a suitable transshipment point.

If the oil is transshipped to Peru on the Pacific side, or if the copper country is transshipping, hehe, these two countries can kill you just for the fees.

And why it was said before that taking this route can save costs, not only because of the short route, but also because there is no need to pass through Cape Town or Malacca.

Think about such a place, you have to rest when foreign ships pass by, right? Once you take a break, there is a fee.

But in the Kalapago Islands, that's not necessarily the case. After all, Chen Yonglu has a Chinese background, and Xiao Feng is simply a Chinese.

If you rent an island from them, it will greatly save transportation costs.

It has to be said that Qin Xiaotian's calculation was very beautiful, and Chen Yonglu and Xiao Feng exchanged a few glances.

Chen Yonglu is very much in favor of being able to set up a line with Huayang Petroleum, because there are indeed a few deserted islands in the northwest of the Kalapago Islands, and there is no output.

It would be better to lease it to Huayang Petroleum as an oil depot and a transshipment terminal.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, this business is not impossible.

If he uses the purification process developed by Hoffman to cooperate with Huayang Petroleum, then what Huayang Petroleum transports back to China will be high-quality light fuel oil and high-quality diesel oil.

In this way, Huayang Petroleum's cost of transporting oil back to China will be lower.

But in this way, what will Huayang Petroleum exchange for, so that it will not lose money?

He thought for a while, then smiled and said to Qin Xiaotian.

"President Qin, it's not impossible to rent a few islands from you. But what if we don't want rent?"

"Oh? Then what do you want?"

Qin Xiaotian looked at Xiao Feng playfully and said.

"President Qin, you have also seen that we are currently engaged in construction on the island. We are short of various building materials, workers, as well as telecom base stations and power grid construction. Can you find a suitable supporting construction unit for me?"

Hearing Xiao Feng's request, Qin Xiaotian's eyes lit up.

This is nothing to them at all, and the other party is willing to use Huaguo equipment, even if it is free!

This is a good business for mutual benefit!
