Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 886

Feelings come for this.

Xie Kai was speechless, he knew that the other party would not be impressed by the high transportation prices he offered.

There are hundreds of ocean-going ships in the hands of the other party, all of which are hundreds of thousands of tons. Although there is no such thing as Dong’s Dongfang Company that has the world’s largest sea giant with a deadweight of 566,000 tons, it can carry 4.1 million barrels of crude oil at a time. Super giant ship, but other oil tankers, the tonnage will not be too small.

At least more than 50,000 tons.

If the tonnage is too small, the cost of transporting crude oil will be too high and not cost-effective.

“Sorry, Sir Bao, this is our secret. If you are interested in this transportation business, we are very welcome. If all your 21 oil tankers are used to transport our crude oil, I don’t care how much the Singapore Petroleum Corporation provides. Cost, per barrel of crude oil, we will give a freight of US$1.50.” Xie Kai said calmly.

Selling a barrel for 36 dollars, it seems that the profit reached 23 dollars per barrel, but setting aside the cost of stimulating the transportation company to mobilize more tankers, and setting aside the cost of 1 dollar per barrel for letting Tan Lin out as a shield, Xie Kai basically maintains a profit of around $20 per barrel.

The total tonnage of 2.7 million tons, according to 7.35 barrels per ton, is 19.845 million barrels, which is less than 20 million barrels.

“Can you really be sure that there will be no problems?” The ship king looked at Xie Kai. This young man seemed to have no city, but it was actually not the case.

Who does it represent?

“Uncertain. Otherwise, we will not subsidize such freight after the oil company has given it.” Xie Kai does not guarantee it.

There is nothing to say about this.

There is no way to explain it. Could it be that the whole world is clamoring that I have a good relationship with the Persians, and I have a weapon deal with the Iraqis, and none of them dare to blow up Lao Tzu’s ship.

“So, how do you ensure safety?”

“Mercenary. The river crab mercenary group, you know? They have fighters and can escort them!” Xie Kai said calmly, “They are also very interested in this business.”

Although I haven’t talked to Liao Dong, Xie Kai himself is the boss behind the crab mercenary group.

“Can a mercenary group do?” Bao Yugang obviously didn’t believe Xie Kai.

“I don’t know, that’s why there is such a high freight subsidy.”

Even if standing opposite him is the world’s No. 1 ship king who was knighted by the Queen of England, Xie Kai is unwilling to reveal too much.

There are many things that can’t be said.

He has to watch the contract as soon as possible, and then go to the Middle East.

“Let’s think about it.” Seeing that Xie Kai was unwilling to disclose more, the ship king stopped entangled, got up and left.

Tan Lin watched the shipowner leave, then looked at Xie Kai, and said with a wry smile, “There is transportation demand in the world, but you treat the shipowner like this, probably you are alone.”

“So what? If he is not profitable, he will come back and find us? Although he is the world’s No. 1 shipowner, he can’t provide us with all the tankers that have been shipped.” Xie Kai respects the shipowner, that is Because he admires such a legend who has no gold fingers, and all depends on his own efforts to reach the throne of the world’s first ship king, and is worthy of respect for the legendary figure who has been honored by the kings of several countries.

Respect is one thing.

Commercial cooperation is another matter.

All of Tan Lin’s thoughts, some of Xie Kai’s thoughts, and some behaviors made him feel that this young man is becoming more and more confusing.

It is not unreasonable to be allowed to be so indulged by that unit.

“Do you need to meet people from Eastern Company?” Tan Lin asked, “They only sent a sales manager and his assistant.”

“See.” Xie Kai didn’t hesitate, “If the Eastern Company can provide the same amount of transportation as the world, it will be done this time.”

Lin Yiyang did not expect that the other party was so young.

He was not sure that the other party was really willing to give such a high price.

“The freight rate is determined by how many merchant ships you can provide. Before that, we just talked to Sir Paul of Universal.” Xie Kai looked at Lin Yiyang, not caring about the suspicion on his face.

Universal Company is different from Eastern Company.

From the very beginning of the establishment of Universal Company, when there was only one ship, it adopted a different mode of operation from other ship owners-long-term leasing.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

This charges less, but the business is more stable.

Moreover, the rule of conduct of the ship king is to make less money than take risks.

The Eastern Company is different. After acquiring the unfinished Maritime Giant ordered by the bankrupt Greek shipping boss in 1979, the Eastern Company continued to order large-tonnage giant freighters and oil tankers when the old chairman was overly optimistic about the world’s shipping business. This resulted in the entire Eastern Company owing up to 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in foreign debt.

Now the international shipping competition is fierce, the tonnage of Universal’s merchant ships has increased sharply, and the Eastern Company has less business.

Therefore, after learning about this business, Lin Yiyang, the business manager, was wholly entrusted by the company to handle this matter.

Even the Sea Giant was transferred here, because the voyage from the Middle East to Asia is shorter, not to mention the situation in the Persian Gulf makes the freight here higher.

Lin Yiyang didn’t expect that the old master of Universal had come in person.

Tens of millions of dollars, will the other party come in person?

“I want to know, is the cooperation long-term or just this time?” Lin Yiyang weighed it and lowered his posture. “If it is a long-term cooperation, we can mobilize more tankers.”

“It’s only this time.” Xie Kai said calmly, “Although it looks like there are two months, but all the oil must be shipped out of the Oman Sea within 36 days. Including the previous time, it only takes about one month.”

There is no talk about long-term cooperation in order to let the other party mobilize more ships.

If there is no problem this time, then I found a good business for the river crab mercenary group.

Even, escort orders from European and American countries can be obtained. After all, the Soviet Union has not yet disintegrated, and European and American countries have to avoid excessively stimulating the mood of the Soviet Union.

Otherwise, Xie Kai would really not be able to pull in the crab mercenary group.

Even the mercenary group can rent a base in the Middle East.

The whole thing is for the huge plan behind.

“Is safety really guaranteed?” Lin Yiyang frowned.

Xie Kai shook his head, “Anything has accidents. Although, we signed an escort contract with the crab mercenary group. As long as the banner of the mercenary group is hung, the Persians dare to attack and they will be killed. No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. …”

“You don’t want to sign a contract anymore?” Tan Lin was a little anxious.

Lin Yiyang did not believe that the mercenary group was capable of completing the escort work.

“There is a risk, so there is such a high freight.”

“We can provide about 1.5 million tons of oil tankers.” Lin Yiyang thought for a while, and did not say to mobilize all the oil tankers in the entire Southeast Asia region.

Xie Kai thought about it, 1.5 million tons, but only about 11 million barrels.

There is a gap of nearly 5 million barrels before all the crude oil has been transported.

This requires several oil tankers of more than 100,000 tons.

“2.25 million tons of gross tonnage, and a freight subsidy of US$2 per barrel.” Since the other party is short of money, Xie Kai doesn’t mind using it.

For a ton of 7.35 barrels, the freight per ton reaches $14.7, which is just an additional subsidy.

“All freight will be settled in cash.” Xie Kai once again offered a condition that Lin Yiyang could not refuse, “If you agree, you can sign the contract immediately.”

The freight in the oil company already has some profit.

The 2.25 million tons of transportation business can bring an additional US$33 million in net profit to the Eastern Company.

When the financial situation of the entire company is not good, how does Lin Yiyang refuse?

Therefore, after weighing it repeatedly, Lin Yiyang directly signed a contract with Tan Lin.

Towards the evening, Zhao Linchen took the initiative to invite Xie Kai to eat together. The feast was very luxurious, but Xie Kai did not have the intention to seriously savor the level of top chefs in Singapore’s five-star hotels, but wondered whether the other party would sign the contract.

“I don’t know what is your plan for the advance payment?” Zhao Linchen still didn’t hold back during the dinner.

Use the advance payment to test if Xie Kai they are real.

Up to now, he always feels that this problem is not small.

“You don’t need any advance payment, you only need to sign a contract, and at the same time, mobilize the transport fleet to the Oman Sea.” Xie Kai said, “Each tanker leaving the Oman Sea is settled according to the amount of crude oil on board.”

“Aren’t you afraid that we won’t settle it?” Zhao Linchen asked suddenly, not knowing what was going on.

“Don’t be afraid.” Xie Kai said calmly, “Every oil tanker will have mercenaries in the process of passing through the Persian Gulf. As long as you don’t give money, you can’t move the oil. I like people who speak honesty.”

The corner of Zhao Linchen’s mouth twitched.

Many more questions were asked, and in the end, he took out the prepared contract directly from his pocket.

Xie Kai did not look at the contract, but asked Zheng Yucheng and the staff arranged by them to look at the above contract. There was no problem. The settlement was made at the 36 dollars per barrel he requested. The payee was the account of Tan Lin Leather Bag Company, who signed the contract. It is also Tan Lin.

“Happy cooperation.” After the two parties signed the contract, Xie Kai offered to extend his hand.

Zhao Linchen smiled bitterly, “This is the first time I have signed such a trivial contract with a total amount of more than one billion U.S. dollars!”

Isn’t it?

This contract was signed too quickly.

Not only is the contract signing like a trifling matter, even the payment method is also a trifling matter.

“You want gas and we want money. Both parties don’t need to waste time. Simple is the best.” Xie Kai said calmly.

“I hope we won’t have any problems with this gambling.” After Zhao Linchen came out, he took a deep breath and exhaled the stale air in his chest.

Up to now, even if the contract is in his hands, he doesn’t believe it is true.

If it were not that the other party’s price was low enough, and it seemed that there was no benefit, he even learned that the other party had already signed a supplementary transportation agreement with Dongfang Company, paying up to US$2 for each barrel of crude oil, and he would not sign the contract so easily.

Under such circumstances, Singapore Petroleum Corporation actually signed a contract with Eastern Shipping Company for the transportation of up to 2.25 million tons of crude oil at a transportation price of 50 cents per barrel.

“Now it’s up to the ship king of the world to decide. If we can get it done, we have to go to the Middle East.” Xie Kai hopes to get everything done in one day, and now starts shipping oil out of the country.
