Chapter 485 The question of who to sell to

Don't say how happy Dudley is in his heart. In recent days, he has been suppressed by Fairbanks and he is almost out of breath. The holding company is stronger and has disrupted Dudley's several businesses one after another.Now seeing him deflated in front of Fang Mingyuan with my own eyes, I feel as refreshed as if I drank a glass of ice water

"Mr. Fang, how is this possible? Now that Iraqi oil is banned from exporting, and the world economy is growing rapidly, the OPEC countries were still debating whether to continue to increase production. How could there be too much to sell?" Dudley shook his head again and again. Said, "Who has such a problem? I, Forte Petroleum Holdings, are more than willing to help him solve it at a favorable price."

The two sang in unison, and Fairbanks' old face almost distorted when he heard it. He is a dignified representative of BP in the Middle East, and he is also a person of status. He usually sees members of the royal family of the Arab countries. It's also a polite and equal communication. When did you lose face like this?
In fact, if he hadn't been so arrogant and domineering, Fang Mingyuan would naturally not be so tit-for-tat.But he saw that Fang Mingyuan was young, that is, a teenager. Although he knew that Fang Mingyuan was a distinguished guest of the Kuwaiti government, the old man thought in his heart that it was just Fang Mingyuan's shit luck.Besides, Fairbanks has not paid attention to a small Kuwaiti government. The British government has played an important role in the Kuwaiti government's restoration this time. As for China, it is just a country waving the flag.

It was precisely because of the contempt in his heart that Fairbanks couldn't hide the arrogance in his tone, which naturally aroused Fang Mingyuan's disgust.

"Mr. Fang, my British Petroleum Company is not comparable to a small company like Forte Oil Holdings. My British Petroleum Company is one of the largest oil and petrochemical group companies in the world. Nearly 11 employees are spread all over the world. It has production and business activities in more than [-] countries, and ranks among the top [-] companies in the world." Fairbanks glanced at Dudley and said with disdain.

Dudley's face changed slightly. Indeed, as Fairbanks said, BP far surpassed Forte Oil Holdings in terms of scale and total assets.It was formed by the integration and reorganization of former British Petroleum, Amoco, Arco and Castrol, with assets all over the world.The main businesses are oil and gas exploration and development; oil refining; natural gas sales and power generation; oil retail and transportation; and production and sales of petrochemical products.It even involves coal, non-ferrous metals, computers, shipping, insurance, etc. It has twelve branches that have business dealings with more than 70 countries in the world, and each of them is no smaller than Forte Oil Holdings. .

And BP has expertise in process technology and production of ethylene, polyethylene and acetic acid.The production capacity of ethylene and polyethylene has reached 30.00% of the whole of Western Europe, ranking second in Europe.And its acetic acid production capacity accounts for [-]% of the whole Europe II.Not only that, BP has a large number of patented technologies in lubricating oil hydrofinishing, distillate oil hydrofinishing, hydrocracking, paraffin hydrofinishing, catalytic dewaxing, isomerization, etc., and the annual income from patent fees It is an extremely considerable number.It makes Forte Petroleum Holding Company hard to come by.

"But this is by no means the reason for us to be willing to be annexed by you." Dudley clenched his fists and said secretly in his heart.

"Moreover, Mr. Fang, I know that you are a person who loves the motherland, so do you know that I, British Petroleum, have been expanding business in China since [-], and as one of the first foreign-funded enterprises to enter China , BP has actively participated in China's economic construction and is one of the leading foreign companies investing in China. However, Forte Oil Holdings, except for some negligible business in Hong Kong, has nothing to do with your motherland's economic development. contribution." Fairbanks stared at Fang Mingyuan intently, using this to put pressure on Fang Mingyuan.He heard from those in the company who have been to China that patriotism is undoubtedly a very useful tool for dealing with Chinese people.Once this hat is put on, those Chinese people will be tied up.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Fairbanks, indeed, I would like to thank BP for its investment in Huaxia, which has promoted the economic development of our country. This cannot be ignored. But I have a question. Has China’s investment not earned any money so far? Or, I heard wrong, what Mr. Fairbanks just said is not an investment, but a free donation?"

Fairbanks frowned and said, "Of course it's an investment." BP is not a charitable foundation. As a commercial company, of course it seeks returns.

"Since it is an investment, your company must have received rich returns in the Huaxia market. You invest in Huaxia, and Huaxia gives you profits. This is originally a matter of mutual benefit. How did it come to the mouth of Mr. Fairbanks , I sound like your company is helping China for free." Fang Mingyuan sneered.The British who still want to set up a memorial archway, take huge profits from China every year, and want the Chinese people to be grateful to him, but Fairbanks was speechless for a while, but Dudley was very upset when he heard it Solution to hatred.

The words were not speculative, and Fairbanks left with a livid face. Fang Mingyuan didn't send him away. He just walked to the door of the villa and returned.

"Mr. Dudley, I think you can tell me now why your company is so interested in my oil share?" Fang Mingyuan sat back on the sofa and asked with a smile.

"Of course." Fang Mingyuan is not a fool. Fairbanks' visit and his remarks against Forte Oil Holding Company and Dudley are enough to make Fang Mingyuan see something strange, and Dudley also understands. If he wanted to hide it, it would only make Fang Mingyuan unhappy, and the goal he wanted to achieve would be even more impossible.

It turns out that since entering [-], BP has launched an acquisition plan for Forte Oil Holding Company. Di Petroleum Holdings' business.

Due to the protection of British law, the domestic oil refining, transportation and sales business of Forte Oil Holding Company has not been greatly affected.However, the crude oil import business has become the biggest shortcoming of Fudi Petroleum Holdings.

Due to the Gulf War, Iraqi oil exports were embargoed, and several large oil group companies that originally imported a large amount of oil from Iraq also turned their attention to other countries in the Gulf, which intensified the competition for the share of crude oil among various companies.However, at this time, Forte Oil Holding Company had several oil import contracts with countries in the Middle East expire. Under the leadership of BP, many oil companies are vying for these contracts and exerting pressure on the countries in the Middle East.This has caused a relatively large gap in crude oil imports of Fudi Petroleum Holdings.However, the cost of directly purchasing oil from the market is not only high, but also the price of oil fluctuates greatly, making it impossible to provide a stable supply.That's why Dudley was so concerned about the 20.00% of the oil in the Calafal Oilfield in Fang Mingyuan's hands.

"Mr. Fang, Fairbanks is not a person who does not fight back after suffering a loss. You have rejected him so unceremoniously. Be careful of his revenge. BP is ranked first in the world." A large multinational group," Dudley said worriedly.Anyway, Fang Mingyuan and Fairbanks broke up unhappy, and expressed some concerns appropriately, just to win Fang Mingyuan's favor.

"Can Fairbanks represent the British government? Or can he represent BP in its entirety?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically.

"How is that possible?" Dudley shook his head and said, "Fairbanks is just a senior executive of BP, not a member of the board of directors."

"I don't have any conflicts with BP, I just hate Fairbanks. Just like you British people hate Hitler, but you can't say that you hate all Germans? The reverse is also the same, Fairbanks. Banks loathes me, but it doesn't mean that BP and I are at odds. I believe there are people in BP who understand. As for his revenge, hehe..." Fang Mingyuan sneered twice.Now he is a distinguished guest of the Kuwaiti government. If Fairbanks dares to make any tricks against him in Kuwait, the Kuwaiti government will be the first to stand up.And if he returned to Huaxia, he would have nothing to worry about.

Dudley couldn't help but raise his heart again. It seems that Fang Mingyuan just refused to negotiate with Fairbanks, not BP. Does that mean that if BP gets another person, the two parties will still reach an agreement? possible?

"Mr. Fang, I heard an old saying in your country that it is better to send firewood on a snowy day than to embroider a few more flowers on a gorgeous brocade. I, Fudi Petroleum Holdings, are in trouble now. If Mr. Fang can Promising to sell the molecular oil from the Calafal Oilfield to me, Fudi Petroleum Holdings, is like sending us firewood for heating on a snowy day. I, Fudi Petroleum Holdings, will always remember Mr. Fang’s kindness of"

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, adding icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, and he actually let him translate into this appearance, completely losing that artistic conception.However, Dudley's words also reminded him that the molecular oil from the Calafal oil field in his hands is undoubtedly nothing to the wealthy British Petroleum Company, but it is a balance to Forte Petroleum Holdings. An important weight.These oils must be sold to oil companies before their own refinery is built. So who to sell to and what kind of favorable conditions to get in exchange for is to think carefully
"Mr. Dudley, although I don't like Fairbanks, who am I to sell this oil? If I want to sell it to you Forte Oil Holdings, then I will completely stand on the opposite side of BP In fact, although I'm not afraid of BP, it's better to do less than to do more. Isn't it wrong to have an enmity with BP just to sell oil?" Fang Mingyuan said helplessly, "Even if I don't like Britain Oil companies, I can also sell oil to oil companies in Japan, the United States, and even South Korea.”

Dudley lowered his head in frustration. Fang Mingyuan was right. Even if he was unwilling to sell the oil to BP because of Fairbanks' attitude, it would be a good result to sell it to other countries' oil companies.Anyway, what BP cares about is that this batch of oil cannot fall into the hands of Forte Oil Holdings, but it is not a lack of oil.

"Then, may I ask, what is Mr. Fang going to do before he is willing to hand over the oil to me, Forte Oil Holding Company?" Dudley still held his last hope.

Dudley left Prince Abdullah's villa with regret and some expectations, because Fang Mingyuan did not put forward any conditions in the end, but what made him still hopeful was that Fang Mingyuan did not explicitly reject his request, as long as he still If the dust has not finally settled, then Forte Oil Holdings still has a chance

Prince Abdullah did not return to the villa until the evening, and Prince Maktoum came with him
"My dear Fang, it's so difficult for you to come to the Middle East." Prince Maktoum gave Fang Mingyuan a hug, and said sadly, "Our bank has been in business for so long, why don't you, the major shareholder, show up? ?”

"Your Highness, do you think my age is suitable to appear in front of customers?" Fang Mingyuan smiled wryly, if the customers of the bank knew that the major shareholder of the bank where he made deposits or loans was just an underage boy, I'm afraid... it would be nice not to take all of my own money in the bank immediately.Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktoum laughed loudly.

Indeed, for those who don't know Fang Mingyuan well, age is undoubtedly the shortest piece of wood for Fang Mingyuan.

Everyone entered the living room, and after chatting for a while, Prince Abdullah said: "I heard that Dudley Wei and the representative of BP came to visit you? I heard that you had a bad fight with the representative of BP?"

"That's right, it's all for the oil from the Calafal Oilfield." Fang Mingyuan sighed, "That old British man looks arrogant, and he doesn't look like he wants to buy my oil, but more like me. I begged him to buy one with a shameless face. Huh, Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and it still looks like the boss of the world."
