When the topic was raised, Yao Haiming, Lu Yan and even Guo Jian all expressed their opinions, all feeling that it was time to get rid of the Jidam family.
They had previously chosen to cooperate with the Jidamu family. After all, only a force like the Jidamu family could help them gain a foothold in Kanem.
Not to mention that the refined oil refined and produced in the future will be sold in Kanem, even the construction permit for the refinery will not be easily obtained by anyone.
Otherwise, with such a high price difference between Kanem refined oil and crude oil, I don’t know how much capital would have been tempted to invest in building factories.
The separation of the Conero Lake Port from the Lonta area and the acquisition of franchise rights for casinos and hotels are inseparable from the Guidam family's mediation. As a foreign capital, Taihua is not able to handle these things.
of.
However, apart from these, the Jidam family could not contribute much to the investment and construction of many subsequent projects, and even hindered them.
They had to use construction engineering companies controlled by the Jidam family to undertake many projects. The construction progress was slow and the quality was rough. They could hear complaints from the project supervisors below almost every day.
The Cornero cement plant owned by Felician and Sika family building materials, not counting the preliminary preparation time, was completed from the start of construction to the second phase of the project in only seven months. Such a construction speed is what Yao Haiming
What they expect.
And if they continue to cooperate with the Jidam family, they will not only encounter increasing resistance in the future, but may even get involved in uncontrollable trouble.
However, many things are just as Huang Hebin said. The Jidam family has invested so many hidden resources on the south shore of Lake Cornero, and at the same time it is a centipede that will not die until it dies. How can they get rid of it if they want?
"This matter still needs to be dealt with slowly, and we can't be too hasty..." Lu Jianchao said thoughtfully.
"The port group is going to divest its investment now, and the administrative jurisdiction of the Port of Conero Lake is attached to the Port of Draculamo. We can't offend them yet. This problem still needs to be resolved first," Huang Hebin said.
"We don't have to rush to cut off ties with the Guidam family, nor will we categorically stop cooperating with the Guidam family, but this time is an opportunity for us to fully take over the Port of Conero Lake,"
Lu Yan had some vague ideas before, but today when he heard Zhou Han pierce the window paper, he suddenly felt enlightened and said,
"The divestment of the Decullamo Port Group is related to the Guidam family. If we accept the divestment of the Decullamo Port Group but the Guidam family does not withdraw, the future operation of the Conero Lake Port will be very unlikely.
They will encounter all kinds of unexpected troubles. The Jidam family has some difficulties in cash flow. If they can withdraw from the Port of Conero Lake, they can still get more than ten million US dollars in turnover. [.]
Funding is the best of both worlds.”
The refinery built on the south shore of Lake Conero is planned to be incorporated into a listed company to facilitate financial audits, and it is all an investment from the Lu family.
If they can take this opportunity to fully take over the Port of Conero Lake, they will be able to
In fact, in the field of oil refining, we can first financially decouple it from the Jidam family. After the refinery, crude oil terminal, storage tank area, etc. are completed, whether we should use the Jidam family’s illegally mined and smuggled from Rivers State.
Crude oil, they have the initiative.
It is admittedly unrealistic for them to get rid of the Jidamu family all at once, but it is extremely necessary to start deploying a decoupling plan now. In this way, even if they will inevitably be dragged down by the Jidamu family in the end, they can control the losses.
within a limited range.
Lu Yan did not speak clearly, but everyone present could understand his thoughts.
Oil refining is the most important part of Taihua and the Lu family's industrial layout in Kanem. Now that there is such a good opportunity, why not decouple from the Jidam family first?
"..." Lu Jianchao pondered and did not rush to respond.
Lu Yan's idea is good, but if they want to fully take over the construction of the Conero Lake Port, in addition to quietly persuading the Jidam family to accept it, they also need to get hundreds of millions of dollars in real money in order to build the Port of Degu.
After the withdrawal of Lamo Port and the Jidam family, follow-up construction continued.
As a listed company, Taihua's own business does not directly involve the investment and construction of port terminals. It is difficult for them to say that the shareholders' meeting of the listed company will approve this huge investment in a short time.
Without investing through listed companies, the Lu family would not only bear the subsequent investment of more than 60 million US dollars in the refinery, casino hotel and grinding station, but also want to come up with an additional hundreds of millions of US dollars in cash, which is still somewhat stressful.
Zhou Han folded his hands in front of his chest and stood leaning on the table. He observed the subtle reactions on Lu Jianchao's face with his beautiful eyes. He believed that it would be difficult for Lu Jianchao to resist the strong temptation of completely controlling an oil refining industry chain in Kanem.
With the rapid rise of emerging economies such as China and the BRIC countries in recent years, international iron ore and crude oil prices have also entered a rapid growth path.
Before 2003, the price of international crude oil fluctuated below US$30 per barrel for a long time. However, after 2003, the price of international crude oil rose rapidly to more than US$60 per barrel in just three years. It even fell below US$60 per barrel earlier this year.
In a short period of time, the price reached a high of seventy-five dollars per barrel.
With such high international crude oil prices, everyone knows that the profits of crude oil smuggling are huge, but there is no way to truly increase the scale of crude oil smuggling.
Crude oil export is the lifeline of Kanem's economy, accounting for 90% of its export revenue. The federal government's finances are almost completely dependent on crude oil revenue. Therefore, in this country where corruption is rampant, crude oil smuggling has an unusual role.
Strict supervision and crackdowns.
And even if you don't engage in crude oil smuggling, with the current increasingly strong demand for international crude oil and refined oil markets, and the completion of the entire Lujia project, you can still tap into attractive and lucrative legal benefits.
This profit is not millions of dollars, nor is it tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions or billions of dollars; how can crude oil smuggling in Kanem bring such terrifying profits?
"If we take over the construction of the Conero Lake Port, the intention may be too obvious. Rumisu Jidam will not be fooled so easily," Zhou Han felt that it was time to push forward, and said, "If the West African
joint
Would it be more reasonable for an oil trading company to replace the Jidam family's investment?"
"This is more prudent." Huang Hebin also felt that Zhou Han's suggestion was more prudent than Lu Yan's.
Western Union Petroleum is a crude oil trading company in Akwa. It is not very large and has not been established for a long time. However, it controls the crude oil supply agreement of Akwa National Petroleum and Mining Company.
They want to build a refinery on the south shore of Lake Cornero. They want everything to comply with Kanem's legal procedures. If they build the refinery directly if there is no crude oil supply from the upstream, no one will doubt their ulterior motives.
Soon after the construction of the Taihua Industrial Park started, they took the initiative to find cooperation with Western Union Petroleum, which was engaged in small-scale crude oil trade between Akva and Spain. The two parties later jointly registered a crude oil trading company in Deculamo in order to wait for the oil refining.
Once the plant is built, it will be able to share the supply agreement with Western Union Petroleum and purchase crude oil from Akwa for refining.
The reason why we found Western Union Petroleum to cooperate is that on the one hand, the main crude oil traders in Kanem have their own stable trade chains and will not look down on them easily. On the other hand, the crude oil terminal of Conero Lake Port is based on 50,000 tons.
The construction of berths is not compatible with the newly built large-scale deep-water crude oil terminal in Kanem River State. The crude oil terminal of Akwa Pemé Port is equivalent to the crude oil terminal of Conero Lake Port, and the distance between the two ports is only a little over 200 kilometers.
A little more can keep transportation costs extremely low.
So when they first went to Akwa to look for a collaborator, they contacted Western Union Petroleum.
At this time, if Western Union Petroleum can be persuaded to replace the investment of the Jidam family, on the one hand, the future crude oil supply of the refinery will be more guaranteed, and at the same time, it will also have more sufficient reasons to persuade the Jidam family to withdraw from the construction of the Conero Lake Port.
"...Since I'm here this time, I want to meet with Rumisu Jidam first to see their opinions on the recent changes in the situation." Lu Jianchao pondered for a long time and did not immediately express his position on this matter.
I feel it is necessary to meet with Rumisu Jidam, the leader of the Jidam family, to test their attitude before making any plans.
"Perhaps Yan Zhicheng can help us say something..." Huang Hebin suggested when he saw that Lu Jianchao was already interested.
In fact, Baha Jidam doesn't have much contact with them. Rumisu Jidam sometimes relies more on Yan Zhicheng to contact them. If Yan Zhicheng can speak for them, the Jidam family will not be so wary.
Heavy.
"With the current situation of the Jidam family, I believe Yan Zhicheng will have some ideas in his heart, but we must not be too impatient..." Lu Jianchao nodded and said.
Although Yan Zhicheng smuggled himself to Kanem in the 1980s, in the eyes of Lu Jianchao and Huang Hebin, they believed that he was Chinese after all, and it was impossible for him to follow the Jidam family all the way to the dark side.
Of course, the Jiedam family is so skinny that a camel is bigger than a horse, and Yan Zhicheng is definitely a veteran. Even if he has the idea of getting rid of the Jiedam family in his heart, he will never expose it easily.
How to persuade Yan Zhicheng to speak for them? It is not easy to master this speed. Thinking of this, Lu Jianchao also feels a headache...
