Chapter 273 Greedy Chu Huan (7K chapter, please subscribe~)
Not only the people in Xiangjiang think that Chu Huan has a good life, but even Kelly in New York and the people from the five major oil companies are all envious of Chu Huan's good life at this time!
I didn't expect that you came to New York to invest in Beihai and teenagers, and now you have encountered such a good thing. Huan, you are really amazing, I love you to death!
At this time, Kelly jumped into Chu Huan's arms who was sitting on the sofa, and kissed Chu Huan's face like raindrops!
Enthusiastic mess!
Facing Kelly's enthusiasm, what can Chu Huan say?
Naturally, I did my best!
This time Chu Huan came to New York, of course, there must be a suitable reason, otherwise, everyone would not think that Chu Huan is just lucky!
The apparent purpose of Chu Huan's coming to New York was actually to re-establish the three investment companies!
Before that, Chu Huan had two companies, Beihai Investment and Juvenile Investment.
Beihai Investment not only participated in the sniping of Tianhua Toys in Xiangjiang, but at the same time, Beihai Investment is also the behind-the-scenes holding company of Yunhai Chain and Brothers Audiovisual. Of course, Chu Huan himself is also the sole shareholder of Beihai Investment.
In addition, Juvenile Investment now holds a 49% stake in Xiangjiang Qingjin Clothing!
However, as Chu Huan's business territory grows in the future, there must be more industries to join, so more hidden identities are needed.
So Chu Huan decided to set up three more investment companies in order to deceive others and better complete his business layout.
Although it is a bit early, the reason is reasonable.
After the wind and rain stopped, Kelly leaned into Chu Huan's arms and said: The leaders of the five major oil companies have already called me, hoping to buy back the oil in our hands at a price of US$6 per barrel!
At the beginning, Chu Huan bought the oil from the five major oil companies at a 5% discount of US$3.01 per barrel, which means that Chu Huan actually bought it at US$2.85 per barrel, including the second transaction between the two parties.
Now the five major oil companies are willing to repurchase at a price of US$6 per barrel, which means that as long as Chu Huan agrees, he can earn double the price!
Thinking of this, Kelly felt a little ready to move again. Only in this way can she express her mood at this time.
But Chu Huan chuckled, and said, It's a good calculation. Now that the international oil price has risen to 10 US dollars per barrel, they actually want to buy it at 6 US dollars per barrel. It's just a joke!
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Kelly said worriedly: Huan, although the price of oil has increased now, but you have such a large amount of oil in your hands, other than them, outsiders dare not take it over at all!
This is also the reason why the five major oil companies dared to lower Chu Huan's price so hard!
After Chu Huan listened, he sneered and said, Go ahead and make their dreams come true. If Wall Street knows that I have so much oil in my hand, they can buy it for 10 dollars in minutes. By then, the five major oil companies will even have the scum. arrive!
Compared with the global oil spot market, the oil reserves in Chu Huan's hands are actually nothing, but it also depends on who owns the oil. In Chu Huan's hands, at most, he will continue to operate according to the current oil market Go down, but if it falls into the hands of the group of people on Wall Street who can eat people without spit out their bones.
These oils are enough to cause huge waves in the oil market, whether it is on the side of the five major oil companies or in the hands of OPEC.
So, you want to contact someone on Wall Street?
Kelly asked curiously when she heard what Chu Huan said.
Chu Huan shook his head and said: Those people on Wall Street are masters who eat people and don't spit out their bones. It's best not to have too much interaction with them now. I prefer to cooperate with the five major oil companies, but the price must not be as high as theirs. Said to resign and leave the deal.
After thinking for a while, Chu Huan said to Kelly: Tell them, $11.5 per barrel, if they agree, we can trade immediately!
Kelly was stunned. She didn't expect Chu Huan's appetite to be so big. According to Chu Huan's price, it was almost double the price proposed by the five major oil companies!
Can the Big Five agree?
The key is that the price now exceeds the market price.
Although the members of OPEC have proposed to reduce oil production by 5% per month and threatened an embargo, I think this is just their strategy and it should not come true. Besides, the five major oil companies have their own oil mines, this price has exceeded OPEC's pricing, I don't think they will agree!
Facing Kelly's doubts, Chu Huan smiled confidently: If they don't agree, just cut off contact with them directly. Don't worry, they will be more anxious than us!
Although I don't know where Chu Huan's confidence comes from, at this time Kelly is used to obeying Chu Huan's orders and doing what Chu Huan ordered. After hearing what Chu Huan said, she also said that she would talk to the five major oil companies. related.
Sure enough, the next day, after Kelly contacted the five major oil companies, the other party heard that Chu Huan was crazy about raising the price of oil to $11.5 per barrel, and immediately said that this was impossible.
This price is absolutely impossible. You tell the person behind you that no one in New York can eat so much oil at one time except us!
After hearing their attitude, Kelly immediately stopped negotiating with the other party as Chu Huan ordered!
The other party was taken aback by Kelly's decisive attitude. They didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward that they didn't even give them a chance to bargain.
But it was Kelly's attitude that made them a little angry and stopped the negotiation with Chu Huan!
It can be said that the first collision between the two sides was not smooth.
That Chu Huan from the east doesn't know what to say. Who else in New York can eat so much oil at once?
Clark from Texaco Petroleum was in charge of negotiating with Kelly, the official who had originally traded with Chu Huan.
Completing Chu Huan's two orders in succession directly promoted Clark to become the manager of his group's marketing department. This time, Texaco Petroleum wanted to buy the oil back from Chu Huan's hands. I lost this person who was familiar with Chu Huan.
Although it was the deal with Chu Huan that allowed him to sit in his current position, Clark was still very angry when he thought of Chu Huan's disrespect for him back then.
So at this time, Clark was slandering Chu Huan forcefully.
McCollum from Chevron Petroleum said with a smile: The fear is that some of us want to deal with Chu Huan alone!
In this negotiation with Chu Huan, the five major oil companies tacitly formed an alliance in order to lower the price of the oil in Chu Huan's hands to the lowest.
But just like Xiangjiang's Avengers, at this time Chu Huan has more than 50 million U.S. dollars in oil spot, which is simply too important for the uncertain international oil market at this time, so their In the alliance, everyone also has their own little thoughts.
The five people sitting here understand this matter even more in their hearts!
Sure enough, as soon as McCollum said this, several people present immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, and each looked at the people around them with scrutiny.
At this time, Lyles, the person in charge of Exxon Petroleum, said: Everyone knows the current situation. If we unite, that annoying Easterner will definitely submit, but if at this time, we still have If you only think about your own little welfare, it will only make this oriental lion speak loudly, so we must all unite!
When everyone heard Lyles say this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they still nodded in agreement with Lyles' words.
But at this time, Daveen of Gulf Oil reminded everyone.
There is still a problem here. Although no one in New York can buy the oil in Chu Huan's hands at once, Chu Huan can definitely contact major oil consumers, airlines, and shipping companies across the country within this time period. corporations, and all sorts of other companies that need oil.
In that case, the oil in his hand will be sold by him soon.
In addition, everyone, don't forget that not only we are paying attention to the situation of the international oil market, but also the group of vampires on Wall Street are also paying attention to this market. If Chu Huan cooperates with them, this batch of oil can still be sold!
Lyles from Exxon Petroleum said again: This requires us to continue to work together. Regarding other oil companies across the country, we can definitely greet them in advance and keep an eye on Chu Huan's oil warehouse. If Chu Huan makes moves in this regard, we can immediately change our plan.
Speaking of this, Lyles was silent for a while, and said: As for Wall Street, we know they are vampires, and Chu Huan also knows that they are vampires, so I don't think Chu Huan will necessarily cooperate with them!
Everyone once again nodded in agreement with Lyles' words.
Seeing that everyone agrees with his opinion, Lyles showed a satisfied smile: Everyone, 6 dollars per barrel is naturally not our psychological price, but it can't be said by the oriental man, it is whatever price it is, and it is still higher than the current international oil price. The price is set by the market, so we must let Chu Huan lower this price!
That's right! Clark said impatiently, No one knows what will happen in the Middle East now, and although OPEC has reduced the monthly oil production, each of our companies has its own oil mines and Oil reserves, as long as we don’t mess up, Chu Huan’s side will definitely mess up first, and everyone, don’t forget that the warehouse where he stores oil is also very expensive!”
With Lyles and Clark's successive statements, the other three have completely lost their opinions, and decided to let Chu Huan take the initiative to lower the price first!
There was no movement from the five major oil companies. Chu Huan didn't care. He played poker with Kelly in the hotel every day, or rented two cars to go shopping in New York. He only went out during the day and only visited those famous restaurants. Chu Huan would never go to a dark and dirty place.
This is still under the protection of Qin Peng and others!
Chu Huan didn't care, but Kelly couldn't help it, so after playing poker with Chu Huan, she couldn't help asking Chu Huan: Actually, $6 per barrel is definitely not the psychological price of the five major oil companies. As long as we A little lower, I think they will agree!
But Chu Huan said firmly: 11.5 dollars is only my current psychological price. After a few days, even if they want to buy it at this price, they will not be able to buy it.
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Kelly knew that Chu Huan must have made plans of her own, but now that Chu Huan didn't say anything, Kelly naturally stopped asking.
Then Chu Huan asked: Are the other three investment companies ready?
After all, this matter was his official purpose of coming to New York, so Chu Huan naturally wanted to take care of it.
Kelly nodded and said, The procedures for Deep Sea Investment, Starry Sky Investment, and Wolf Smoke Investment have all been completed. What are you going to do next?
Chu Huan did not answer Kelly's question directly, but continued to ask, Have you found the three people I asked you to find?
Kelly replied: Only two people were found. Spielberg signed a seven-year director contract with Universal Pictures in 1968. This year is the fifth year. Both were making TV movies and hadn't officially become film directors.
Bill Gates has just been admitted to Harvard University this year and is a freshman.
As for Steve Jobs yet to be found!
Spielberg, known as one of the most successful big directors in Hollywood, could even pull off this one.
Although Chu Huan is not familiar with Hollywood movies in the 1970s, he also knows that Spielberg's Jaws will create the box office myth of Hollywood movies in the 1970s.
If it was possible, Chu Huan would naturally want to acquire this big money-making director in advance, but what Chu Huan didn't expect was that the other party had already signed a 7-year director contract with Universal Pictures.
There are still two years left. If Spielberg shoots Jaws in these two years, then he will lose money!
As for Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, let alone, one is the founder of Microsoft and the other is the founder of Apple.
If angel investment can be made at the beginning of the establishment of these two companies, then the future income will be enough to make Chu Huan count the money until his hands cramp.
Although Spielberg does not have as much wealth as these two, just one Jaws is enough for Chu Huan to make angel investments in these two companies, and even more wealth to make other investments. invest.
So compared to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, Chu Huan now wants Spielberg more!
In the name of Deep Sea Investment, set up Vertex Pictures to communicate with Universal to see if we can buy Spielberg's contract. The price is negotiable. In addition, we will contact Spielberg alone and tell the other party that as long as he follows us , we can immediately invest in him making the movies he wants to make.
By the way, remember not to fall out with Universal because of this matter!
At this time, Chu Huan is not even considered a rookie in Hollywood. Even if he signs Spielberg and shoots a movie, he still needs to use Universal's distribution channels, so at this time, he can't just sign Spielberg. Berg fell out with each other.
As for Bill Gates, let's pay attention to him first, if he has plans to start a business, immediately contact him in the name of Star Investment, expressing his willingness to provide angel investment!
The same is true when you find Jobs!
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Kelly naturally had no objection, but asked Chu Huan curiously: Huan, how do you know about them?
Chu Huan is in Xiangjiang, but he is so interested in the three young people in North America, and even wants to sign each other or give them angel investment!
Chu Huan said with a smile: You forgot that I still have a film company in Xiangjiang. I have seen Spielberg's Amblin at the Atlanta Film Festival. It is a very good short film. From my professional perspective Seeing that he will definitely become an excellent film director in the future!
Kelly immediately said imaginatively: I see, you want to let Hong Kong's black and white images enter the European and American markets, but in order to avoid Hollywood's xenophobia, so find a potential director in Hollywood, especially one who still has a Jewish director. As a director of pedigree, this will be more beneficial for you to enter the European and American markets with black-and-white films in the future?
Not only in Hollywood, but even throughout North America, Jews have a lot of rights. It is no wonder that Kelly thinks so at this time.
Regarding Kelly's speculation, Chu Huan naturally said that it was like this.
As for Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, it is because my friends studying in North America told me about them, saying that they are very powerful young people. Check it out!
Kelly knew that there were many children of rich people in Xiangjiang studying here in North America, so she had no doubts about Chu Huan's words.
After all, in the eyes of Kelly at this time, these three people are insignificant people.
It shouldn't be a big problem. I have investigated Spielberg and the other party still wants to become a formal film director. As for Bill Gates, although he has some background in his family, they definitely hope to rely on their own ability to start a business. Completed!
The stalk about Bill Gates starting from scratch has been talked about badly, and everyone knows that his parents are not ordinary people at all, so there is no need to repeat them here!
Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction.
Chu Huan and the five major oil companies entered into a brief period of tacit mutual understanding, but this period did not last for too long.
Because when the time came to October 22, the news about that war broke out again!
OPEC announces an oil embargo on North America!
Once the news came out, the five major oil companies couldn't sit still. Even if they knew that this ban could not last for too long, after this ban, the price of oil would definitely continue to rise.
And their alliance was no longer as united as last time, and quarrels started within the small team.
There are even mutual accusations.
But in the end, they stopped the quarrel and decided to call Kelly again to start the second round of negotiations!
After getting the news, Kelly hugged Chu Huan excitedly again, and again kissed Chu Huan's face like raindrops excitedly.
Naturally, Chu Huan threw him on the bed again and played poker!
Then came the second round of negotiations between Kelly and them!
This time, the five major oil companies proposed to buy all the oil in Chu Huan's hands at the current price of 10 US dollars!
But before Chu Huan didn't agree to this price, it was even more impossible now.
Although Chu Huan did not come to the scene, Kelly at this time also expressed confidence that it was impossible, $11.5 per barrel, not one cent less!
Seeing Kelly's attitude is so firm.
Naturally, this negotiation continued to break up unhappy!
Damn, hate, this greedy oriental is simply too hateful!
Lyles slapped his sofa angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with the negotiation at this time.
Lamb, the representative of Mobil Oil who did not express his opinion last time, spoke out at this time.
It's useless to say this now. According to the other party's attitude, the other party may agree to our offer unless God comes down. Obviously, we can't invite God, so what should we do now?
Clark from Texaco immediately said, Lamb, what do you mean, do you want to agree to Chu Huan's offer?
Lamb shook his head and said, I don't want to agree to Chu Huan's offer, but I want to ask everyone, is there any other way?
Daveen from Gulf Oil said: Everyone, we don't need to worry. We all know that the OPEC ban will not last long. As long as we can survive this period, I believe that Chu Huan will give in to us by then. !
Clark immediately agreed and said, That's right, we absolutely can't just agree to Chu Huan's offer like this, otherwise, what will outsiders say about us, and how will we explain to the company?
Hearing what Clark said, everyone fell into silence again.
After a while, Lamb said: I disagree with Davyn's statement. The company is more concerned about whether we can get this batch of oil, rather than haggling with Chu Huan here. Before that, I have already received a call from the company asking me about the progress of the negotiation on this batch of oil. I believe you must have received such a call.
Moreover, even if the OPEC ban is lifted, the price of oil will definitely not drop, and we may be even more passive by then!
Chevron's McCollum also said at this time: I agree with Lamb!
Obviously, following everyone's statement, their alliance has formed a two-to-two confrontation mode at this time. Clarke of Texaco and Daveyne of Gulf Oil feel that they should drag Chu Huan, while Mobil Oil's Lamb and McCollum of Chevron Petroleum think that it is time to trade with Chu Huan!
At this point, all eyes were on Exxon's Lyles.
Lyles noticed the eyes of everyone, and said in a deep voice: Even if the price of oil will rise, it will take a process. We can explain this matter to the company, and I believe the company will Understand ours, so my take is to wait a little longer.
Now is actually the time to test who is more patient between us and Chu Huan. If we can win this battle, the company's opinion of us will not only disappear immediately, but will also value us more!
Three to two!
What Lyles said made some sense, the other four thought about it and decided to continue with this plan!
But obviously, Chu Huan would not give them too long.
Because on the third day, the five of them got a piece of news that made them feel panicked.
In the warehouse where Chu Huan stored the oil, 4 million dollars worth of oil was withdrawn in one day—4 million dollars worth of oil at 3.01 dollars per barrel!
Who, exactly who bought the oil in his hand?
Lyles preached furiously.
McCollum of Chevron Petroleum said in a deep voice: It has been investigated clearly that the ship of Xiangjiang Wanbang Shipping took away the oil worth 4 million US dollars! But who bought it is unknown.
At this time, everyone remembered that when Chu Huan was negotiating with their company, he used the name of Wanbang Shipping to contact them.
It's just that it was Chu Huan and Kelly who contacted them all the time, and deliberately avoided the name of Wanbang Shipping.
This made them forget about it.
Hearing McCollum say this at this time, this memory instantly came to mind.
This kind of situation is the fear of an alliance that is not close enough.
When something beyond their control occurs, there will definitely be cracks inside them.
Lamb of Mobil Oil stood up first and said: Excuse me, everyone, I want to tell the company about this matter immediately. As for how to decide, I think it is beyond our ability to decide!
After speaking, Lamb left here directly.
Sorry, I have to go back and call! McCollum also left the scene.
The remaining three looked at each other and left here immediately.
Instead of calling the company, Lamb went directly to the hotel and found Kelly.
Beautiful Miss Kelly, at the price of 11.5 dollars, our Mobil Oil agreed, and we want more oil, far more than the amount that our Mobil Oil sold to Mr. Chu!
Kelly said with a smile: I have discussed with Mr. Chu before, and for the first company to come to us, we must meet the other party's conditions.
7.02 million barrels, we can sell this amount of oil to Mobil Oil!
Lamb immediately smiled and said, No problem, when will we start trading!
Kelly said: Naturally, the sooner the better!
Okay, then let's sign the contract now! Obviously, Lamb had already prepared all these!
Kelly naturally had no problem, so she called a lawyer, and under the witness of the lawyer, the two parties sold 7.02 million barrels of oil to Mobil Oil at a price of US$11.5.
The total amount is 80.73 million US dollars!
With this one transaction alone, Chu Huan not only made back his capital, but also made a profit of 28.83 million US dollars!
There were two things, Lamb and Kelly had just completed the deal and left, when McCollum from Chevron Petroleum came to find them.
When he heard that Standard Oil's Lamb had bought 7.02 million barrels of oil, he immediately said that they also wanted to buy that much oil.
But Kelly rejected the other party.
I'm sorry, Mr. McCollum, the negotiations we had with you before were business-like, but it is undeniable that the influence of the five major oil companies in North America is undeniable. We don't want to offend anyone, so the oil this time must be to let The five major oil companies can all get some, 7.02 million barrels is impossible, and 3.51 million barrels is the highest amount we can give!
and
The price will also increase by 10 cents, which means 11.6 US dollars per barrel. This is already the biggest discount for the second person to find us!
If Lamb hadn't bought the 7.02 million barrels of oil, McCollum would definitely have left.
But now the initiative is no longer in their hands.
Can!
Also, the next chapter will continue~
