Resource Tycoon Reborn

In fact, Komatsu Heimori really guessed some of them right!

Fang Mingyuan initially proposed this plan. Ultimately, he intended to take advantage of the fact that the shipbuilding industries of Japan and South Korea were at a trough. By placing large orders, on the one hand, he could lower the purchase price of a single oil tanker and give himself more initiative; on the other hand, he could lower the purchase price of a single oil tanker.

On the one hand, it is also to expand the Kuok Shipping Group as quickly as possible and at the same time make a fortune by changing hands!

But after Fang Mingyuan reported this plan to Mr. Guo and Su Huandong, after several considerations, the two old men expressed great support for Fang Mingyuan's action, and the reasons given by the two men were surprisingly consistent -

- If Fang Mingyuan’s judgment on the future direction of the world economy and China’s economy is basically true, this will be a strategic layout for China’s petroleum energy transportation link!

It is an obvious fact that the crude oil transportation capacity of China's state-owned tanker fleet is insufficient. Anyone who cares can easily judge this. As of the end of 1998, China's crude oil imports exceeded 30 million tons, and

How much of this crude oil is transported by the state-owned tanker fleet? Less than one-third! And as the amount of crude oil imported by China continues to rise rapidly, the number of domestic oil tankers built is far from keeping up.

At this rate, this ratio is still shrinking!

Since oil imported from the Middle East and Africa accounts for the vast majority of China's overseas oil imports, the oil must be transported to China through a long sea route, and it must pass through sensitive areas controlled by the US military.

areas, including the war-torn Strait of Hormuz and the pirate-ridden Strait of Malacca! This makes it very likely that China’s maritime oil transportation channel will be forcibly cut off due to war, terrorist attacks, politics and other factors, thus posing a serious threat

China’s oil supply is secure!

In order to ensure the country's rapidly growing energy supply, the country has to hire a large number of oil tankers from foreign shipping companies to transport overseas crude oil back to the country. Chapter 148 Strategic Layout These foreign shipping companies include Europe, North America,

Major shipping giants in Asia, such as Denmark's Maersk, Japan's "Nippon Yusen Line", "Kawasaki Kisen", "Mitsui O.S. Lines", as well as shipping companies in South Korea, Singapore and other countries. Moreover, the maritime oil transportation business of these state-owned shipping companies,

Most of them are chartered from overseas oil tanker companies for transportation. The large oil tankers owned by the company are limited in number, not to mention the transportation capacity!

Under normal circumstances, oil import companies must sign a charter contract with a shipping company before signing an oil purchase contract with an oil developer. However, during the period of expansion of oil tankers, these Japanese shipping giants require their customers to sign "long-term charter parties".

"Ship Contract", this method is equivalent to the "off-plan" method of construction developers, that is, before the shipping company entrusts the shipbuilding company to build the giant ship, it obtains a deposit from the chartering customer and prepays the rental fee in advance.

By reducing their shipbuilding risks, this method enabled Japanese shipping giants to not only earn huge profits, but also gain capital for excessive expansion!

It is precisely because China’s own oil tankers are insufficient in number and transportation capacity that foreign oil tanker companies, especially Japanese oil tanker companies, take advantage of the opportunity to make huge profits. With the rapid increase in demand for oil tankers, Japanese shipping companies not only hide the number of oil tankers,

By pretending that there is insufficient oil transportation capacity, and on the grounds that China's oil import companies have not signed long-term charter contracts with them, they take the opportunity to increase ship charter rates and make huge profits from it!

Without sufficient overseas oil supply, for China's economy, which is currently undergoing rapid development, it is like a plane engine without fuel. It is not only a problem that it cannot continue to fly, but may even

It caused an air crash and caused turmoil in the entire country! Therefore, in many cases, the country can only grit its teeth and endure these exploitations!

If the current situation does not change, then in the first few years of the next century, about 90% of the crude oil purchased by China will be transported by sea, and only 10% or even lower will be transported by sea.

China's own oil tankers are responsible for transportation. Even if the oil tanker transportation capacity of Guo's Shipping Group is included, this share will only increase to 178%. The rest of the share will have to be provided by foreign oil tankers.

Responsible for transportation! However, Japan, which relies entirely on imported oil, uses its own super tankers to transport oil as high as 90%. Therefore, the international shipping community also regards Japan as having a super tanker fleet of more than 100 super tankers.

It is called a supertanker-owning country. This means that its oil imports completely rely on its own oil tankers.

In this regard, Brande Clotte, Regional Manager for Greater East Asia of Det Norske Veritas, an international organization that provides risk management services, commented: "Japan's approach reflects its desire for energy security. Its main purpose is to

Ensure there is a stable energy input. If you rely on tankers from other countries for transportation, then you will not have the same control over the fleet!" This principle also applies to China!

If China can have its own supertanker fleet, the benefits will be obvious!

First of all, it is helpful to break the risk of international shipping giants taking the opportunity to monopolize shipping prices; secondly, learning from the shipbuilding experience of Japan and South Korea can drive the overall development of domestic steel, trade and finance; thirdly, it can significantly reduce overseas resources

Import costs, especially the scale effect of the 300,000-ton supertanker, can significantly reduce the unit transportation cost, which is conducive to controlling oil prices; and the most important point is to facilitate the country's armed escort in times of crisis, thereby maximizing the

Ensure the country’s energy security!

Therefore, how to strengthen China's overseas crude oil transportation capacity has always been a concern of China's leaders! However, due to insufficient national financial resources, it is difficult to invest on a large scale, and domestic shipyards have not yet mastered this shipbuilding technology. In the past few years,

The prosperity of the shipping industry has made the shipbuilding industry in various countries around the world have orders for several years. This is especially true for Japanese and Korean shipyards that can build supertankers. Not to mention trading the market for technology, they just want to purchase a few ships.

Super tankers also have to wait for several years at a high price. Therefore, this situation has not been truly resolved!

As for the plan proposed by Fang Mingyuan, Su Huandong, after confirming his views on the future economic trend, said that the government will fully support this action and will provide cooperation and cooperation with Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. in all aspects such as policy and financial support.

! Mr. Guo told Fang Mingyuan that if he was confident, just go ahead and do it! As long as he could buy the boat back, he wouldn't have to worry about the operation! With the commitment of these two people, Fang Mingyuan and Guo Tianyu felt at ease with each other.

It's like taking a reassurance pill.

If these ships are bought back, whether they are operated by Guo's Shipping Group in the future or leased to domestic shipping companies, at least they don't have to worry about losing them. Of course, these plans will not go well with Komatsu.

, Benji Sato said it!

"President Guo!" Benjie Sato said in a trembling voice, "Is what this Fang Jun said true?"

"We have this plan, and the board of directors has also approved this intention. We will take a look at the situation of several major shipyards and choose the ones with the best conditions!" Guo Tianyu said with a smile, "Originally, we planned to do it when I leave Japan tomorrow.

Officially announced publicly! Mingyuan, you!"

"Uncle Guo, you can't blame me for this! I refused Minister Komatsumoto's request and didn't explain it clearly to him. If it caused any bad misunderstanding, wouldn't it mean that I missed a major event of the company!" Fang Mingyuan said with a wry smile.

typical.

"You!" Guo Tianyu shook his head repeatedly.

Naturally, Komatsu Heimori could no longer let Guo Tianyu talk like this anymore. No matter whether they were acting or not, if Guo Tianyu said what made Fang Mingyuan angry, what if people hated everyone and excluded Mitsubishi Heavy Industries from the selection?

I have to cry to death! Although Mitsubishi Heavy Industries does not lack orders, after all, it has not started working at full capacity. This super tanker costs 70 to 80 million. If it can win seven or eight ships, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will have no shortage of orders in recent years.

No need to worry about insufficient work.

More importantly, if you get a few more ship orders, you can reduce the orders that Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. may get! This time, Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. was lucky, and happened to catch up with the crazy purchasing of Kuok Shipping Group.

Next time, he would like to see if Benji Sato can still be so lucky!

As for what Guo's Shipping Group was doing with purchasing so many supertankers, Komatsu Heimori thought about it for a moment and then threw it out of the window! Even if they were purchasing ships for China's state-owned shipping companies, then what?

What can we do? In today's Japanese shipbuilding industry, Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. is not the only company waiting for new ships to be built. The general lack of construction and shortage of orders have made the entire Japanese shipbuilding industry like a hungry tiger in a cage.

, once an order appears, whoever dares to stop them can be said to be their sworn enemy. What happened to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries? Even the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu does not dare to cause public anger at this time!, House Hand Fight, $ House provides this book for download.

.

Moreover, even if these Japanese shipbuilding companies can reach a consensus, the problem is that there are still three major shipbuilding companies in South Korea. They will never dance to the baton of Japanese companies. They are still eager for these Japanese shipbuilding companies.

They all withdraw from the competition and let them eat alone!

Therefore, at this time, everyone can only do their best to fight for this piece of cake, and no longer care about fighting with each other!!!
