Not only people in Xiangjiang think that Chu Huan has a good life, but even Kelly in New York and people from the five major oil companies are all envious of Chu Huan's good life at this time!
"I didn't expect that you came to New York for Beihai Investment and Juvenile Investment, and now you have encountered such a good thing. Huan, you are really amazing, I love you to death!"
At this time, Kelly jumped into the arms of Chu Huan who was sitting on the sofa, and kissed Chu Huan like raindrops on her face!
Totally enthusiastic!
Faced with Kelly's enthusiasm, what can Chu Huan say?
Naturally, I worked hard!
Naturally, there must be a suitable reason for Chu Huan to come to New York this time. Otherwise, everyone would not think that Chu Huan is just lucky!
Chu Huan's apparent purpose in coming to New York was actually to reorganize three investment companies!
Prior to this, Chu Huan owned two companies, Beihai Investment and Juvenile Investment.
Beihai Investment not only participated in a sniper attack on Tianhua Toys in Xiangjiang, but also was the holding company behind Yunhai Chain and Brother Audio and Video. Of course, Chu Huan himself was also the sole shareholder of Beihai Investment.
In addition, Juvenile Investment now holds 49% of the shares of Xiangjiang Qingjin Clothing!
However, as Chu Huan's business territory becomes larger and larger in the future, more industries will definitely join in, so more hidden identities will be needed.
So Chu Huan decided to set up three more investment companies in order to deceive others and better complete his business layout.
Although it is a bit early, this reason is considered reasonable.
After the wind and rain stopped, Kelly leaned in Chu Huan's arms and said: "The heads of the five major oil companies have already called me, hoping to buy back the oil in our hands at a price of US$6 per barrel!
"
The oil Chu Huan originally purchased from the five major oil companies was purchased at a 50% discount of US$3.01 per barrel, which means that Chu Huan actually paid US$2.85 per barrel for the purchase. This included the second transaction between the two parties.
Now the five major oil companies are willing to buy back the oil at a price of US$6 per barrel, which means that if Chu Huan agrees, he can earn double the price!
Thinking of this, Kelly was a little ready to move again. Only in this way could she express her mood at this time.
Chu Huan chuckled lightly and said: "It's a good calculation. Now that the international oil price has risen to 10 US dollars per barrel, they actually want to buy it at 6 US dollars per barrel. It's a joke!"
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Kelly said with some worry: "Huan, although the price of oil has increased now, the amount of oil in your hands is so large that no one else dares to take over except them!"
This is also the reason why the five major oil companies dare to lower the price for Chu Huan so hard!
After hearing this, Chu Huan sneered and said: "Go ahead and dream of their dreams. If Wall Street knew that I had so much oil in my hands and bought it for $10 every minute, then the five major oil companies would not even be able to get the scum."
arrive!"
Compared with the global oil spot market, the oil reserves in Chu Huan's hands are actually nothing, but it also depends on whose hands the oil is. In Chu Huan's hands, at most, he will continue to operate according to the current oil market.
Go down, but if it falls into the hands of those people on Wall Street who eat people but don't spit out their bones.
This amount of oil is enough to cause huge waves in the oil market, whether it is in the hands of the five major oil companies or in the hands of OPEC.
"So, you want to contact people on Wall Street?"
Kelly asked curiously when she heard what Chu Huan said.
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Those people on Wall Street are all cannibals. It's best not to have too much interaction with them now. I prefer to cooperate with the five major oil companies, but the price must not be as high as theirs."
He said he quit the deal."
After thinking for a moment, Chu Huan said to Kelly: "Tell them it's 11.5 US dollars per barrel. If they agree, we can trade immediately!"
Kelly was stunned. She didn't expect Chu Huan's appetite to be so big. If Chu Huan's price was followed, it would be almost double the price proposed by the five major oil companies!
Can the Big Five oil companies agree?
The key is that the price now exceeds the market price.
"Although the member states within the OPEC organization have proposed to reduce oil production by 5% every month and threatened an embargo, I think this is just their strategy and it should not come true. Besides, the five major oil companies have their own
The price of oil mines has exceeded OPEC’s pricing, I don’t think they will agree!”
Facing Kelly's doubts, Chu Huan smiled confidently: "If they don't agree, just cut off contact with them. Don't worry, they will be more anxious than us!"
Although she didn't know where Chu Huan's confidence came from, Kelly was already accustomed to obeying Chu Huan's orders and doing what Chu Huan told her. After hearing what Chu Huan said, she also said that she would cooperate with the five major oil companies.
related.
Sure enough, the next day, after Kelly contacted the five major oil companies, the other party heard that Chu Huan was crazy about raising the price of oil to 11.5 US dollars per barrel, and immediately said that this was impossible.
"This price is absolutely impossible. Tell the person behind you that no one in New York except us can consume so much oil at one time!"
When Kelly heard their attitude, she immediately stopped negotiating with the other party as instructed by Chu Huan!
The other party was taken aback by Kelly's decisive attitude. They didn't expect that the other party would be so straightforward and not even give them a chance to counteroffer.
However, it was Kelly's attitude that made them a little angry and stopped negotiating with Chu Huan!
It can be said that the first collision between the two parties did not go smoothly.
"That Chu Huan from the East has no idea. Who else in New York besides us can consume so much oil at once?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Clark from Texaco Petroleum was responsible for negotiating with Kelly, and it was Clark who officially made the deal with Chu Huan.
After completing two orders from Chu Huan in succession, Clark was directly promoted to the next level and became the manager of his group's marketing department. This time, Texaco Oil wanted to buy back the oil from Chu Huan, so naturally it was sent.
I found this person who was familiar with Chu Huan.
Although the deal with Chu Huan put him in his current position, Clark was still very angry when he thought about Chu Huan's disrespect for him.
So at this time, Clark was slandering Chu Huan forcefully.
McCollum from Chevron Petroleum said with a smile: "What I'm afraid of is that some of us want to trade with Chu Huan alone!"
In this negotiation with Chu Huan, the five major oil companies formed a tacit alliance in order to keep the price of the oil in Chu Huan's hands at the lowest price.
But just like the "Avengers" in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan now has more than 50 million US dollars in oil spot, which is simply too important for the uncertain international oil market at this time, so they
Within the alliance, everyone has their own little thoughts.
The five people sitting here understand this matter in their hearts!
Sure enough, as soon as McCollum said these words, several people present immediately looked at each other, each looking at the people around them with a critical look.
At this time, Lyles, the head of Exxon Oil, said: "Everyone knows the current situation. If we unite, that nasty Easterner will definitely give in. But if at this time, we still have
If you only think about your own little welfare, you will only make this Oriental lion talk loudly, so we all must unite!"
When everyone heard what Lyles said, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they still nodded in agreement with Lyles' words.
But at this time, Gulf Oil's Davion spoke up to remind everyone.
"There is still a problem here. Although no one in New York can buy the oil from Chu Huan at once, Chu Huan can definitely contact the major oil consumers, airlines, and shipping companies across the country within this time period.
companies, as well as various other companies that need oil.
In that case, the oil in his hands will be sold by him quickly.
In addition, please don’t forget that not only are we paying attention to the international oil market, but the vampires on Wall Street are also paying attention to this market. If Chu Huan cooperates with them, they can still sell this batch of oil!"
Exxon's Lyles said again: "This requires us to continue to work together. Regarding other oil companies across the country, we can say hello to them in advance and keep an eye on Chu Huan's warehouse where the oil is stored. As long as
If Chu Huan takes action in this regard, we can immediately change our plans."
At this point, Lyles was silent for a moment and said: "As for Wall Street, we know they are vampires, and Chu Huan also knows they are vampires, so I don't think Chu Huan will necessarily cooperate with them!"
Everyone once again nodded in agreement with Lyles' words.
Seeing that everyone agreed with his opinion, Lyles showed a satisfied smile: "Everyone, 6 US dollars per barrel is naturally not our psychological price, but the price cannot be whatever the Easterners say, and it is still higher than the current international oil price.
The market price is set, so we must ask Chu Huan to lower the price!"
"That's right!" Clark said eagerly, "No one knows what will happen in the Middle East now, and although OPEC has reduced its monthly oil production, each of our companies has its own oil mines and
As long as we don't mess up the oil reserves, Chu Huan will definitely mess up first. Don't forget that the warehouse where he stores oil also charges very high prices!"
With Lyles and Clark's successive statements, the other three people had completely lost their opinions and decided to give Chu Huan a cold shoulder first and let Chu Huan take the initiative to offer a price reduction!
There was no movement from the five major oil companies. Chu Huan didn't care. He either played poker with Kelly in the hotel every day, or rented two cars and walked around New York. He only went out during the day and only visited famous places.
Chu Huan would never go to a dark, dirty place.
This is still under the protection of Qin Peng and others!
Chu Huan didn't care, but Kelly couldn't help but, so after playing poker with Chu Huan, she couldn't help but ask Chu Huan: "Actually, 6 US dollars per barrel is definitely not the psychological price of the five major oil companies. As long as we
Lower it a little bit, I think they will definitely agree!"
Chu Huan said firmly: "$11.5 is just my current psychological price. In a few days, even if they want to buy it at this price, they won't be able to buy it."
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Kelly knew that Chu Huan must have had his own plans, but now that Chu Huan didn't say anything, Kelly naturally stopped asking.
Then Chu Huan asked: "Are the other three investment companies ready?"
After all, this matter was his official purpose for coming to New York, so Chu Huan naturally had to be concerned about it.
Kelly nodded and said: "The procedures for Deep Sea Investment, Starry Sky Investment, and Langyan Investment have been completed. What are you going to do next?"
Chu Huan did not answer Kelly's question directly, but continued to ask: "Have you found the three people I asked you to find?"
Kelly replied: "Only two people were found. Spielberg had signed a seven-year director contract with Universal Pictures in 1968. This year is the fifth year, but before that, he had been
They are all filming TV movies and have not officially become film directors.
Bill Gates has just been admitted to Harvard University this year and is a freshman.
As for Steve Jobs, he hasn’t been found yet!”
Spielberg, known as one of Hollywood's most successful directors, could even knock this one off.
Although Chu Huan was not familiar with Hollywood movies in the 1970s, he also knew that Spielberg's "Jaws" would create the box office myth of Hollywood movies in the 1970s.
If possible, Chu Huan would naturally want to acquire this big and profitable director in advance, but what Chu Huan didn't expect was that the other party had already signed a 7-year director contract with Universal Pictures.
There are still two years left. If Spielberg makes "Jaws" in these two years, he will lose money!
Not to mention Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, one is the founder of Microsoft and the other is the founder of Apple.
If angel investment can be made in these two companies when they are founded, the future income will be enough to make Chu Huan's hands cramp from counting the money.
Even though Spielberg doesn't have that much wealth compared to these two, just one "Jaws" is enough for Chu Huan to make angel investments in these two companies, and even have more wealth to invest in other projects.
invest.
So compared to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, Chu Huan wants Spielberg more at this time!
"Establish a company called Apex Pictures in the name of Deep Sea Investment to communicate with Universal to see if we can buy Spielberg's contract at a negotiable price. In addition, we will contact Spielberg separately and tell him that as long as he follows us
, we can immediately invest in him making the movie he wants to make.
By the way, remember not to fall out with Universal over this matter!"
At this time, Chu Huan was not even a novice in Hollywood. Even if he signed Spielberg and made a movie, he still needed to use Universal's distribution channels, so at this time, he couldn't just sign Spielberg.
Berg fell out with the other party.
“As for Bill Gates, keep an eye on him first. If he plans to start a business, contact him immediately in the name of Star Investment and express his willingness to provide angel investment!
The same will happen when we find Steve Jobs!"
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Kelly naturally had no objection, but asked Chu Huan curiously: "Huan, how do you know about them?"
Chu Huan is from Xiangjiang, but she is so interested in three young people from North America, and she even wants to sign a contract with them or provide them with angel investment!
Chu Huan said with a smile: "You have forgotten that I also have a film company in Hong Kong. I have watched Spielberg's "Amblin" at the Atlanta Film Festival. It is a very excellent short film. With my professional eyes, I
It seems that he will definitely become an excellent film director in the future!"
Kelly immediately said in her mind: "I understand, you want to bring black and white images of Hong Kong into the European and American markets, but in order to avoid Hollywood's xenophobia, you need to find a potential director in Hollywood, especially one who is Jewish.
As a director with a strong pedigree, will this be more conducive to your ability to enter black-and-white films into the European and American markets in the future?"
Not only in Hollywood, but also in the entire North America, Jews have considerable rights. No wonder Kelly thinks so at this time.
Regarding Kelly's speculation, Chu Huan naturally said that this was the case.
"As for Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, it's because my friends studying in North America told me about them and said they are very powerful young people. In this case, it doesn't cost much to invest in them, so just treat them as first
Check it out!”
Kelly knew that there were many children of wealthy people from Xiangjiang studying in North America, so she had no doubts about Chu Huan's words.
After all, in Kelly's eyes at this time, these three people are all insignificant people.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. I've done research on Spielberg and he still really wants to become an official film director. As for Bill Gates, although his family has some background, they definitely hope to rely on their own abilities when it comes to starting a business.
Completed!"
The story about Bill Gates's self-made career has been told a lot, and everyone knows that his parents are not ordinary people at all, so there is no need to go into details here!
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction.
...
Chu Huan and the five major oil companies entered into a brief period of tacit understanding in which no one paid any attention to the other, but this period did not last long.
Because when the time came to October 22, the news about the war broke out again!
OPEC announced an oil embargo on North America!
As soon as this news came out, the five major oil companies couldn't sit still. Even if they knew that this ban would not last long, the price of oil would definitely continue to rise after this ban.
This time, their alliance was no longer as united as the last time, and quarrels began within the small team.
There were even mutual accusations.
But in the end, they stopped arguing and decided to call Kelly again to start the second round of negotiations!
After getting the news, Kelly hugged Chu Huan excitedly again, and kissed Chu Huan's face like raindrops in excitement again.
Naturally, Chu Huan threw her on the bed again and started playing poker!
Then came the second round of negotiations between Kelly and them!
This time the five major oil companies proposed to buy all the oil in Chu Huan's hands at one time at the current price of 10 US dollars!
But Chu Huan had not agreed to this price before, and it was even more impossible now.
Although Chu Huan did not come to the scene, Kelly said confidently that it was impossible, $11.5 per barrel, not a penny less!
Seeing Kelly's attitude so determined.
Naturally, this negotiation continued to break up on bad terms!
"Damn it, damn it, this greedy Oriental is so hateful!"
Lyles slapped his sofa angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with the negotiation at this time.
Lamb, the representative of Mobil Oil who had not expressed his opinion last time, now spoke out.
"It's useless to say this now. According to the other party's attitude, the other party will not agree to our offer unless God comes down. Obviously, we can't invite God, so what should we do now?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Clark from Texaco Oil immediately said: "Lamb, what do you mean, do you want to agree to Chu Huan's quotation?"
Lamb shook his head and said: "I don't want to agree to Chu Huan's quotation, but I want to ask you if there is any other way?"
Davion of Gulf Oil said: "Everyone, we don't have to worry. We all know that OPEC's ban will not last long. As long as we can survive this period, I believe that Chu Huan will give in to us by then.
!”
Clark immediately agreed upon hearing this: "Yes, we absolutely cannot agree to Chu Huan's quotation just like this. Otherwise, what will outsiders say about us, and how will we explain to the company?"
After hearing what Clark said, everyone fell silent again.
After a while, Lamb said: "I disagree with Davion's statement. The company is more concerned about whether we can get this batch of oil, rather than arguing with Chu Huan here. Before that,
I have received a call from the company asking me about the progress of the negotiations on this batch of oil. I believe you must also have received such a call.
Moreover, even if OPEC’s ban is lifted, the price of oil will definitely not drop, and we may be even more passive by then!”
McCollum of Chevron Oil also said at this time: "I agree with Lamb's statement!"
Obviously, with everyone's statements, their alliance has formed a two-to-two confrontation mode. Clark of Texaco Oil and Davion of Gulf Oil feel that Chu Huan should be delayed, while Mobil Oil's
Lamb and McCollum of Chevron Petroleum think that the deal with Chu Huan should be done at this time!
At this time, all eyes were on Exxon Oil's Lyles.
Lyles noticed everyone's gaze and said in a deep voice: "Even if the price of oil will still rise, it will take a process. We can explain the matter here to the company, and I believe the company will also
We understand, so my opinion is to wait a little longer.
Now is actually the time to test who is more patient between us and Chu Huan. If we can win this war, the company’s view of us will not only disappear immediately, but they will also value us even more!"
Three to two!
What Lyles said made sense. The other four thought about it and decided to continue with this plan!
But it was obvious that Chu Huan would not give them too long.
Because on the third day, the five of them received news that made them panic.
From the warehouse where Chu Huan stored oil, 4 million US dollars of oil was taken away in one day - 4 million US dollars of oil calculated at 3.01 US dollars per barrel!
"Who, who bought the oil in his hands?"
Lyles's furious sermon.
McCollum of Chevron Petroleum said in a deep voice: "It has been clearly investigated that it was the Xiangjiang Wanbang Shipping ship that took away the 4 million US dollars of oil! But I don't know who bought it."
At this time, everyone remembered that when Chu Huan negotiated with their company, he used the name of Wanbang Shipping to contact them.
However, it was Chu Huan and Kelly who contacted them all the time later, and they deliberately avoided the name of Wanbang Shipping.
This made them forget about it.
When I heard McCollum say this, this memory instantly came to my mind.
An alliance that is not close enough is afraid of this situation.
When things happen that are beyond their control, there will definitely be cracks within them.
Lamb of Mobil Oil stood up first and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, I want to tell the company about this immediately. As for how to decide, I think it is no longer up to us to decide!"
After saying that, Lamb left here directly.
"Sorry, I have to go back and make a call!" McCollum also left the scene.
The remaining three people looked at each other and left here as soon as possible.
Lamb did not call the company, but went directly to the hotel and found Kelly.
"Beautiful Miss Kelly, our Mobil Oil agreed to the price of 11.5 US dollars, and we also want more oil, far more than the amount our Mobil Oil sold to Mr. Chu!"
Kelly smiled and said: "I have discussed it with Mr. Chu before. For the first company to come to us, we must meet the other party's conditions.
7.02 million barrels, we can sell this amount of oil to Mobil Oil!”
Lamb immediately smiled and said: "No problem, when will we start trading!"
Kelly said: "Of course the sooner the better!"
"Okay, let's sign the contract now!" Lamb has obviously already prepared all of this!
Naturally, Kelly had no problem, so she hired a lawyer. Under the witness of the lawyer, the two parties sold 7.02 million barrels of oil to Mobil Oil for $11.50.
The total amount is 80.73 million US dollars!
In this transaction alone, Chu Huan not only recovered his capital, but also earned US$28.83 million!
One thing led to another. As soon as Lamb and Kelly completed the transaction and left, McCollum from Chevron Oil came to find them.
When he heard that Lamb of Mobil Oil had bought 7.02 million barrels of oil, he immediately said that they also wanted to buy that much oil.
But Kelly rejected the other party.
"I'm sorry, Mr. McCollum, our previous negotiations with you were just business negotiations, but it is undeniable that the five major oil companies have influence in North America. We don't want to offend anyone, so this time the oil must be sold to
The five major oil companies can all get some, but 7.02 million barrels is impossible. 3.51 million barrels is the highest amount we can give!
and.......
The price will also increase by 10 cents, which means 11.6 US dollars per barrel. This is already the biggest discount for the second person to come to us!"
If Lamb hadn't bought the 7.02 million barrels of oil, McCollum would definitely have walked away.
But now the initiative is no longer in their hands.
