After seeing many Central Asian cultural relics from Afghanistan gathered in the Peshawar antique market, Liu Dong, who took the opportunity, was not stingy with money and went straight for a big purchase!
When he returned to the hotel satisfied, he had tens of millions of dollars less in his pocket, and of course he had nearly a hundred more antiques!
What surprised Liu Dong was that when he returned to the hotel, Mohammed Tanweer, whom he had met at yesterday's auction and who took the initiative to chat with him, was already waiting here.
There is a saying, ‘Don’t hit the smiling person with your stretched out hands’!
Looking at the smiling Pakistanis in front of him, Liu Dong couldn't just drive them away!
"Mr. Liu Dong, I hope you will forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting!"
Tanveer, who once studied in China, not only speaks fluent Chinese, but also has a very good understanding of how Chinese people do things and speak.
Invisibly, Liu Dong gained some intimacy!
"Mr. Tanvir, you're welcome!" Liu Dong said after briefly shaking hands with the other party.
"Mr. Liu, I have prepared a banquet here. I hope Mr. Liu will come to you!"
Seeing how polite he was, Liu Dong couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed, "It will cost Mr. Tanvir a lot of money!"
"Haha, what are you talking about, Mr. Liu! As the host, I still have to fulfill my friendship as a landlord! Please, Mr. Liu!"
"please……!"
After a while of humility to each other, the two of them went to the private room booked by Tanvir!
The decoration in the private room is not luxurious, but it is still elegant and clean, and Liu Dong has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
After the two were seated respectively, Tanvir said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, see if you are satisfied with these dishes. If not, let them go down and make whatever you want to eat!"
After taking a look at the roasted lamb legs, curry chicken and other local Pakistani specialties on the table, Liu Dong nodded.
Because his life was not very affluent since he was a child, Liu Dong is not picky about food. Even though he is rich now, his taste has not changed!
Even if it’s not delicious food, it can still satisfy him!
"These are very good, Mr. Tanveer took the trouble!"
"Haha, I feel relieved if I can satisfy Mr. Liu!" After a pause, Tanvir glanced at Liu Dong and continued, "I wonder what Mr. Liu is planning to do when he comes to Pakistan this time? If I can help
If I am busy, I will never refuse!”
Looking at the other person's generosity, even though there was some artificiality in the expression on his face, Liu Dong still felt a little benefited!
Everyone likes to hear good things, and Liu Dong is no exception!
"The main reason why I came to Pakistan this time is to consider the business environment here. If possible, I would like to invest and do some business here!"
This topic is also the answer that Liu Dong has long thought of!
However, to his surprise, Tanveer seemed to be very interested in this topic!
"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Liu plans to do?"
After looking at the other party, Liu Dong smiled and said: "I am willing to do any business that can make money, but of course it must be within the scope permitted by Pakistani law!"
"I wonder if Mr. Liu is interested in the petrochemical industry?" Tanvir said quickly after thinking for a while.
"Petrochemicals?" Liu Dong thought for a moment, and then said, "If there is an opportunity and I can make money, I will naturally not reject it! However, it seems that Pakistan is not rich in oil resources?"
Although he doesn’t know much about Pakistan’s oil industry, this is a matter for this most populous country in South Asia, which is an oil-importing country, so he still knows something about it!
"It is precisely because Pakistan is not rich in oil resources that we can make profits from it!" Tanvir said.
"Oh, I would like to hear the details!" Liu Dong said with great interest.
"Before talking, I would like to give Mr. Liu an overview of the current situation of Pakistan's oil industry! ...Although Pakistan is not rich in oil resources, there are as many as hundreds of large and small companies engaged in oil exploration, processing, and sales across the country.
There are only three large-scale oil companies in Pakistan with a real annual refining capacity of more than 5 million tons, and with oil exploration and development, oil sales, and distribution capabilities. In addition to the well-known state-owned enterprise Pakistan National Oil Company, the remaining two are
Karachi Petrochemicals and Paco Petroleum!”
“Karachi Petrochemical Group is a joint venture of two world oil giants, Texaco and Dalda, while Paco Petroleum Company is a company owned by Pakistani oil tycoon Shahsad Adil and owns the Sukkur Oilfield in Pakistan.
As well as the oil distribution system throughout the country's major cities, it accounts for % of Pakistan's oil and natural gas market. The company's turnover reached 00,000 US dollars!"
"Mr. Tanvir wants to annex Paco Petroleum Company?" Liu Dong heard the other party's implication!
Faced with Liu Dong's probing eyes, Tanvir did not hide much.
"That's right! Paco Petroleum Company spent a lot of money on finding new oil and natural gas fields in Punjab some time ago. In addition, the reserves of the Sukkur Oil Field are getting lower and lower, and there is a lack of external oil import channels. As a result, the company is now in debt.
The rate is getting higher and higher, and there are already rumors of a change of hands within the company!"
"Then if Mr. Tanvir annexes Paco Petroleum Company, these difficulties can be solved?" Liu Dong said.
"Haha, maybe Mr. Liu still doesn't understand my current occupation! I am also the owner of an oil company, and Hyderabad Oil Company is my company!"
Seeing that Liu Dong was still listening attentively, Tanveer continued: "Although the refining capacity of Hyderabad Petroleum Company is only one-quarter of that of Paco Petroleum Company, which is about 1.2 million tons. But we are
There is no shortage of crude oil supply. Even if the company’s refining capacity is doubled, we will still be able to obtain enough crude oil from the Middle East! For this reason, the Hyderabad Petroleum Company has only been established for 5 years, but it has always been rated as the most promising company in Pakistan.
Oil companies!”
After listening, Liu Dong looked at Tanvir and said slowly, "I'm curious why you are so sure that you can get enough oil from the Middle East?"
You know, since the establishment of OPEC, in order to ensure the interests of oil-exporting countries, the major oil-producing countries in the Middle East and Asia and Africa have limited the amount of oil they produce every year! Not just anyone can get a large amount of crude oil!
It was precisely because he knew these things that Liu Dong became curious!
As if knowing that Liu Dong was going to ask this topic, Tanvir quickly said: "I was a college classmate with His Excellency Mansoor, the current member of the UAE royal family! Our relationship, to use your Chinese words to describe it, is that we used to sleep in bunk beds.
Buddies'!"
Seeing the proud look on Tanvir's face, Liu Dong's eyes finally changed when he looked at the Pakistani.
Tanveer's identity may not matter to him, but if what he said is true, then the identity of his friend and classmate is really impressive!
Mansour, full name: Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Presidential Affairs, one of the sons of the former UAE President, President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed
De Al Nahyan's younger brother. One of the richest and most powerful people in the world.
It owns two super corporate flagships, First Gulf Bank and International Petroleum Company, with personal assets exceeding 17 billion pounds. Sheikh Mansour’s family wealth is at least 1 trillion U.S. dollars. The famous Abu Dhabi consortium is under his control.
enterprise!
Compared with this kind of super-rich family, the industrial capital Liu Dong was once proud of is nothing!
Moreover, the United Arab Emirates, whose oil reserves account for 10% of the world's proven crude oil reserves, can fully support the development of any oil company in the world. No wonder Tanvir is so confident!
"Since Mr. Tanvir has prepared everything, why did you tell me these things?" Liu Dong said.
"It's very simple. I would like to invite Mr. Liu to participate in the investment together, and we will jointly acquire Paco Petroleum Company!" Tanvir looked directly at Liu Dongdao with bright eyes.
"Acquire together? Why? Since you and Mr. Mansour are classmates and friends, I believe that acquiring Paco Petroleum Company should be a very simple matter, and there is no need to involve me, an outsider!"
After being immersed in business for several years, Liu Dong is not a dumb young man who just entered the society and doesn't understand anything. When faced with the opportunity in front of him, he must first judge whether it is a bait placed in a trap!
The bigger the **, the more cautious you must be!
"Mr. Liu, I believe that with your wisdom, you should understand that no matter how strong the relationship is, if you just ask for it blindly, it will only make the relationship between the two parties become more and more alienated in the end! Don't you have such an old saying in China, 'Good steel should be used on the blade.
Go'! Moreover, compared to the Emirates National Oil Company, my Hyderabad Oil Company seems to be an ant under the elephant's feet. The gap between the two sides is really too big! If the other party is allowed to intervene, I am afraid that after the acquisition is successful in the future, the newly formed Parc
But the oil company has nothing to do with me. Of course, this is just my guess, but I can't help but take precautions! Moreover, I don't want the company's development to be subject to too many external constraints in the future, which will reduce the company's profitability.
Decision-making efficiency, thus leading to business failure!”
"Then why did you come to me?" Liu Dong said after thinking for a moment.
"To be honest, I originally found Mr. Liu yesterday just because I was curious. But out of curiosity, after I went back, I checked Mr. Liu's news on the Internet. At first glance, it was really surprising! Mr. Liu is young, but
Your achievements in business are really amazing! You are probably the youngest billionaire in the world now!" Tanveer praised. (To be continued.)
