Chapter 960 [Buy your family's things with your wealth]
When John Bryan came here this time, he actually came here first to have a look and see if he could really negotiate any substantive results. His level was not high enough.
It was precisely because he was not of a high level that Lu Ming left him alone for such a long time, and then completed the meeting in a manner that was almost summoned with a notice. Lu Ming actually regarded John Bryan as a "mouthpiece" to take the words back, because he could not do it. final decision.
"...But Mr. Lu, you have to return some of it, right? The scale of wealth you harvested this time is too huge. To be loose, I would say that the US$2 trillion stimulus plan in North America has gone into your pocket. This is no matter what." Neither Wall Street nor the North American authorities will accept it." At this moment, John Bryan had lost all momentum.
Lu Ming smiled inwardly when he saw this, but remained calm on the surface, and immediately said: "No, no, the Federal Reserve has announced unlimited QE. You can print unlimited money to expand your balance sheet. In fact, we are not making any money, we are just hedging your crazy printing." The invisible harvest of money is nothing more than that.”
At this point, Lu Ming added: "If you can guarantee not to print money like crazy, I can even return all 3 trillion US dollars to you, but you obviously can't do that, so there is no need to refund the money. Say it again."
It is obviously impossible to ask the United States to stop printing money.
John Bryan was furious in his heart. This bastard was so incompetent, but he was helpless when being manipulated. After a while, he said with a wry smile: "Okay, Mr. Lu, what do you think we should do to solve it?"
Lu Ming was waiting for the other party's words, so he said in an orderly manner: "Not to mention, in addition to considering the solution after lifting the table, we also considered a whole set of solutions without lifting the table."
John Bryan was expressionless.
Lu Ming didn't care at all, but said clearly: "First of all, you return the frozen control rights of 1.16 trillion US dollars to Tiansheng Capital, otherwise the 300 billion US dollars Tiansheng Capital will make excess profit commissions in accordance with the agreement. You are not the only ones who can play unilateral actions."
"If the control rights of 1.16 trillion US dollars are returned, I, Tiansheng Capital, will use this money and add hundreds of billions of additional US dollars to enter the North American capital market to support your market. In this way, Satt, you The party has made some explanations, and it will be of great help to the international crude oil market."
"In addition, Tiansheng Capital can spend an additional US$500 billion to buy the US dollar bonds issued by you and lend the money to you." It is true that Lu Ming said that the US$500 billion should be used to buy US bonds, but it is not used. Tiansheng Capital itself does not use the money of the company's domestic LPs, but the money of foreign LPs.
Judging from Tiansheng Capital's internal data, the company's foreign LP capital scale is approximately US$1.77 trillion, of which US$1.16 trillion has been frozen by the United States, and the remaining US$610 billion needs to be reduced by US$500 billion to buy In the end, there were only US$110 billion of US debt left. It was previously promised that in addition to the US$1.16 trillion, hundreds of billions of additional US dollars would be invested in the US stock market.
After calculating this account, it is obvious that the amount of funds only used by foreign-invested LP institutions is not enough, and there is a gap of hundreds of billions of dollars.
But Lu Ming doesn't have to worry at all, because after this game is over, as long as Lao America agrees to the series of agreements reached by both parties, there will definitely be more overseas capital that will hand over the money to Tiansheng Capital for custody.
Regardless of the huge funding gap of hundreds of billions of dollars, it can be filled in minutes.
After a while, Lu Ming added: "In addition, Tiansheng Capital can also help you support oil prices, that is, launch large-scale oil procurement operations around the world."
When John Bryan heard this, he thought "Madefak" frequently. It turned out that the other party was so shameless. He used the wealth harvested from North America to buy North American resources backhand.
Can I also thank you for co-authoring it?
But he could only curse in his heart. Seeing Lu Ming pause for a moment, John Bryan suddenly said with a thought: "Only buy North American shale oil?"
If this is the case, it is not impossible to accept this condition, it is quite tempting.
Lu Ming glanced at him and said lightly: "Mr. Brian, you are so funny."
John Bryan: “…”
I felt the ridicule coming towards me.
Lu Ming continued: "If we, Tiansheng Capital, decide to help you support oil prices, we will definitely open up multiple channels, including not only purchasing shale oil from North America, but also including Sate, Oros, Iraq and even Venezuela.
Wait a minute, we have always advocated peace as the most important thing, and we only buy your oil. Other friends will be unhappy. A bowl of water will be flat, don’t you think this is true?"
John Bryan’s inner reaction: Tsk
It would be a fool to put all the energy imports on the United States. It will still be taken advantage of when the time comes.
Lu Ming further added: "We at Tiansheng Capital not only spend money to buy oil from overseas countries, but also buy oil mined in our country. Mr. Bryan, don't forget that our country's currently proven shale oil reserves are at least
Reaching 47.6 billion tons, it is the third largest in the world after North America and Russia."
It is worth mentioning that if Tiansheng Capital wants to buy domestically mined oil, it will definitely not end up doing so on its own, because oil is something that private companies cannot enter on a large scale. However, Tiansheng Capital is a non-bank financial company and can do so through capital operation management.
accomplish.
For example, if it brings capital to invest in relevant oil companies, those oil companies can increase capital and expand shares in a targeted manner. Tiansheng Capital does not seek control of the company, and can even give up voting rights, just as a long-term financial investor.
John Bryan heard an overtone from what he said, and it also contained a threatening meaning, which meant that if both parties completely decoupled and disbanded, the entire Greater China region would be left without oil.
Shale oil is not unique to your family. I also have a lot of it in my family.
Moreover, the relevant oil fields are in operation and have not been shut down. Although the volume is not large, this shows that the shale oil extraction technology has not been interrupted. Although the extraction technology is more advanced than in North America, at least there are technical reserves. It is critical that there is no interruption.
, and also maintain slow technology upgrades through continuous operations.
The reason why we now import crude oil on a large scale and do not exploit our own shale oil on a large scale is to protect the environment and follow the path of sustainable development. We will not engage in destructive exploitation unless it is absolutely necessary.
But if we really break up and live their own lives, there is nothing we can do in this worst-case scenario, and we will have to mine even if we damage the environment.
Under this special situation, even if the shale oil extraction technology in Greater China is relatively backward, it can be quickly upgraded when the general environment is forced to do so. It just takes more time.
Even if the cost of extracting our own shale oil is about US$50 to US$70 per barrel, even in the worst case, we can at least ensure that we will not face a situation where there is no oil available.
So in short, I have a series of guarantees and guaranteed cards in my hands. You can weigh them carefully and calculate with your fingers whether it is a good deal or not.
After a while, Lu Ming tapped the other party and put another sweet date, and then added: "But to purchase your shale oil, Tiansheng Capital can buy it at a price of 50 US dollars per barrel, but the premium is
The premise is to sign a long-term order agreement.”
