Chapter 1063 Peak Oil Theory

In addition to harvesting wealth, this theory is also a tool of hegemony.

Its core is the ‘zero-sum game’.

For example, Obama’s words that made all the rabbits hate him.

If more than one billion Chinese residents also live like Australians and Americans now, then all of us will fall into a very miserable situation, because that is something this planet cannot bear.

“Does Mr. Li also agree with the ‘Peak Oil Theory’?” Xu Liang said calmly.

"Everything in this world has a limit, and oil is no exception."

Xu Liang: "When people first discovered oil, they could only mine oil fields on the surface and less than 1,000 meters underground.

Based on the technology at that time, the oil reserves within this range were the peak.

After World War II, with the advancement of oil extraction technology, oil resources at 2,000 meters, 3,000 meters, and even deeper underground became new exploitable oil fields, so the peak changed again.

So the oil peak itself is a variable.

What's more, the world's "shale oil technology" is developing rapidly now. If oil prices continue to rise, the price will cover the cost of shale oil extraction.

The oil peak may be pushed back for decades.

By that time, whether the world still needs so much oil is another matter."

Li Jiacheng's eyes flickered, "Mr. Xu, do you think shale oil will be popular?"

"It depends on how high the oil price will rise."

Xu Liang smiled.

He didn't want to reveal too much to this old fox.

"Mr. Li, do you really not plan to sell Husky Energy? I can add some other assets."

"Oh, what assets?" Li Jiacheng became interested.

"46.7% of the shares of Netcom, 18.3% of the shares of Sohu, the NBA Warriors, and the auto parts, power tools and garden machinery businesses of Torch Group. If Mr. Li is interested, you can take them."

"Mr. Xu wants to sell part of the business of Netcom and Torch?"

Li Jiacheng was a little surprised.

The shares of Sohu and the NBA Warriors are not the mainstream companies of Xu's family, so it is understandable to sell them.

But Netcom and Torch are somewhat beyond his expectations.

"When I was young, I was too greedy and blindly expanded horizontally. Now as the company grows, there are more and more things, and I feel more and more powerless, so I want to sell some businesses and reduce the scale."

Li Jiacheng's mouth twitched.

A 27-year-old man talked about his youth in front of a 90-year-old man, how can you have the nerve?

"Mr. Xu, although you are very sincere, Husky Energy is the main business of Hutchison Whampoa for many years, and we cannot sell it."

"That's a pity."

Although I didn't have much hope at the beginning, I felt a little regretful after being rejected now.

"Mr. Xu, do you really plan to sell Netcom?"

"Is Mr. Li interested?"

"Some."

Netcom is now the largest Internet cafe chain in Asia.

After years of operation, it has nearly 3,000 directly-operated Internet cafes and nearly 10,000 franchised Internet cafes in East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia except India.

In addition to the Internet cafe business, Netcom, under the leadership of Sun Haizhen, also does "second-hand computer retail" business.

It mainly sells the old computers replaced by Japan, South Korea and Huaxia to franchised small Internet cafes in Southeast Asia, South Asia and other countries.

With retail, there is also maintenance.

In addition to the retail business attached to Internet cafes.

Netcom has developed rapidly in the past two years. In the first half of 2006, its total revenue exceeded 8 billion Hong Kong dollars, with a net profit of 1.96 billion Hong Kong dollars, and a return rate of more than 20%.

The market value of the Hong Kong stock market is nearly 60 billion.

Although it is not as good as those high-tech companies, it is also an excellent company with good operations and bright development prospects.

A real blue chip stock.

"If Mr. Li really wants to acquire NetEase, I can sell it to you, but I don't lack cash, I just want assets."

"How about 20% of Hutchison Ports?"

"Not enough. NetEase's revenue this year will at least exceed 17 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its net profit will exceed 4.3 billion Hong Kong dollars. As a blue chip stock with good development and excellent financials.

The valuation of 20 times net profit is reasonable.

That is to say, 86 billion Hong Kong dollars.

46.7% of NetEase's equity is worth 40.162 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In comparison, the share price of 20% of Hutchison Ports Group is only about 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

If Mr. Li wants to exchange, at least 40% of Hutchison Ports Group's equity will be appropriate." Xu Liang smiled.

Li Jiacheng shook his head, "Although the network technology company has developed well, it is not a technology company and it is impossible to get a valuation of 20 times net profit."

"We can talk about this, but no matter how we talk, 20% of Hutchison Ports Group's shares are not enough."

Li Jiacheng certainly knew that it was not enough.

But he could not trade too much of Hutchison Ports' shares.

Otherwise, it would be a question whether Hutchison Ports was still named Li.

In addition, Hutchison's 3G telecommunications business in Europe requires a huge amount of funds. Without 20% of Hutchison Ports' shares, it would have to sell other assets to fill the hole.

Li Jiacheng was silent for a moment.

"Mr. Xu, this is a serious matter. I need time to think about it carefully."

"Of course."

"When Mr. Li has considered it, call me at any time."

Li Jiacheng stood up.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

"I'll see you off."

After leaving Hanhua.

"Father, do you really plan to acquire Internet Technology?"

"This is a good company."

"Nettech is indeed a good company, but we are currently doing our best to promote 3G business in Europe and we really cannot spare more funds to acquire Nettech." Li Zeju said.

"I'll think about it again."

"Mr. Xu, why is Li Jiacheng interested in Internet technology?"

"I guess they value its development prospects."

Xu Liang didn't know why.

He doesn't need to know either.

The Li family has many assets. If he really comes up with something he is interested in, just sell it.

Although the Internet cafe business still has five or six years of good times, excluding the two years of the subprime mortgage crisis, there is not much time left.

"Is there any news about the matter you were asked to investigate?"

"I've checked and there is no company called Riot Games in the United States."

Xu Liang was relieved.

He can plagiarize "League of Legends" unscrupulously.

After Li Jiacheng left, there was no news for three days.

Xu Liang did not stay in Xiangjiang to wait for him.

He has more important things to do.

——

boom……

With a deafening roar, a Boeing BBQ business jet painted with a golden roc slowly landed at the Po County International Airport.

Got off the plane.

"Brother-in-law."

Wearing a white floral T-shirt and denim shorts, Yang Mi, with her long white legs naked, rushed into Xu Liang's arms like a moth flying into a flame.

Holding her slender waist, embroidered with the fragrance of the beauty's bun, Xu Liang put her down with a smile.

After being admitted to Peking University, after studying for one year, she transferred from Peking University to the National University of Singapore according to Xu Liang's arrangement.

This is just my sophomore year.

In addition to studying, I also interned within Taihua Group.

"Where's your sister?"

"She's at home. My uncle and aunt didn't let her come."

Xu Liang nodded. An Kaiyue's second child was already due. Xu Yongpei and Wang Lingxiang arrived in Singapore half a month ago.

"Let's go home."

The motorcade leaves the airport.

Back to No. 33 Nathan Road.

He has lived in this luxurious manor covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters for more than five years.

Every plant and tree is familiar.

Entered the house.

"dad!"

Xu Sanbao, who was already two and a half years old, suddenly dropped the Transformer in his hand, flew towards Xu Liang with his short legs flying.

He quickly knelt down and picked him up.

He rubbed his son's little head affectionately.

"Do you miss daddy?"

"Think about it."

"Dad misses you too."

After kissing his son's tender and smooth face a few times, he turned to look at the family members walking over.

An Kaiyue, who had a big belly, walked in the front, and she was very fast.

"Kaiyue, slow down."

Wang Lingxiang and mother-in-law Yao Lifei said quickly.

"Mom, it's okay."

Before An Kaiyue could finish her words, her expression suddenly changed.

The whole person froze.

Xu Liang quickly stepped forward to support her.

"What's wrong?"

"Dear, I think I'm about to give birth." An Kaiyue said slowly.

"What?!"

The two dads and two moms just exploded.

Wang Lingxiang pushed her son away.

Together with her mother-in-law, she helped her sit down.

The medical team who had prepared in advance quickly got a cart and took An Kaiyue to the hospital.

After struggling for a long time, Xu Liang got another son.

Looking at the little guy surrounded by his two parents and Xu Sanbao.

Xu Liang smiled and said: "This brat is really impatient. He ran out as soon as I came here."

An Liyue, who was holding his hand, sat on the bedside.

She had given birth once before and had a smooth delivery this time.

When I was sent to the hospital, my pelvis had been opened two fingers, and I was given anesthesia and pushed directly into the delivery room.

It was over in less than an hour.

Because it was a natural birth, except for some physical weakness, there were basically no major problems.

"He also wants to meet dad." An Kaiyue's pretty face showed happiness.

"By the way, did my dad name him?"

Nowadays, Xu Yongpei basically decides on the names of the children of the old Xu family.

“Dad took it out when he first came here.

His eldest name is Xu Wenwen, and my mother gave him the nickname "Sparkling". "

"Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Yes, if it were a girl, her nickname would be 'Xingxing'."

Xu Liang: "Xingxing sounds more like a boy's name than Twinkle."

"Let her be happy and call her 'Xingxing' when our third son is born." An Kaiyue said with a smile.

As a smart woman, she knew she wanted to catch the father.

Beyond grabbing his stomach, there were more kids to come.

Children are the bond of family ties between husband and wife.

Therefore, she is not against having children at all, and even wants to have more children.

With the conditions at home, both her body and her children can be raised well.

"Then it's best to have a boy and a girl. The boy is called 'Xingxing' and the girl is called 'Jingjing'." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Liangzi, come and see your son, he looks exactly like you."

Mom greeted.

Patting An Kaiyue's hand, "I'll go take a look."

"Um."

After staying in the hospital for a day, An Kaiyue went home.

The infirmary environment at home is better than here, and she also has her own medical team.
