The total number of single-hull oil tankers in Guo's Shipping Group's fleet reached more than 60% of the total number of ships in the fleet before Guo Tianyu acquired Mawei Shipyard. After receiving Fang Mingyuan's reminder, In recent days, the supertankers ordered by Guo's Shipping Group have been put into operation one after another, which has greatly eased the transportation pressure of Guo's Shipping Group, thus freeing up Guo Tianyu to gradually remove these ships.

The priority to be disposed of is naturally the older single-hull oil tankers, and priority is given to single-hull oil tankers made in Japan. This batch of oil tankers were built by Japanese shipbuilding companies in the 1970s using inferior steel. It was possible to manufacture ships at the fastest speed and at the lowest price. As a result, more than 300 single-hull oil tankers were crudely manufactured. Especially the thickness of the ship's steel plates was saved to the point of indispensability. These oil tankers were sunk in many shipping accidents. , causing a serious crude oil spill.

The next thing to be disposed of are the single-hull oil tankers owned by Guo's Shipping Group Company. Some of these oil tankers have been sold to other shipping companies, and some of them, such as those that are young and in good condition, have already been arranged. , after more supertankers are launched, they will be sent to the shipyard for major modifications and transformed into ore transport ships to contribute to future iron ore transportation in Perth. There are still some that are being considered for sale to Some ports use offshore oil depots for oil storage.

There are also those ships that are leased. Since the ownership of these ships is not in the hands of Guo's Shipping Group Company, if you don't want to pay the default fees, you can only stop leasing them when they expire. Although, once they arrive, The two-year lease period can be said to be very short, but Fang Mingyuan still wants to see if he can no longer renew the contract! After all, the world today has undergone tremendous changes compared with his previous life. Even the president of Russia has changed. Who can guarantee that these single-hull oil tankers will not cause big trouble to Kuok Shipping Group Company at some time in the future!

Therefore, even though Fang Mingyuan knew that these eleven Aframax tankers were an indispensable and important shipping capacity of Guo's Shipping Group Company, he still wanted to drive them out of the fleet as soon as possible.

Fang Mingyuan and the others were busy all day long, and at night, they had only dealt with one-fifth of the affairs that had been accumulated over the past few days. After all, Fang Mingyuan had just taken over, and he had to obtain many of the contents in these documents. After checking one by one and asking Cheng Jiarong and Gao Lifang in detail, a decision can be made. This undoubtedly makes the processing speed obviously a bit slow.

After Fang Mingyuan signed a contract requesting funding, he took a deep breath, stood up, moved his body that had become somewhat stiff due to sitting for a long time, and said to Cheng Jiarong and Gao Lifang: "We are here today. Come here." Rome was not built in a day. Nor could he finish processing all these documents in one go.

Cheng Jiarong and Gao Lifang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were very tired that day. Fang Ming was far from Guo Tianyu. He knew all aspects of the company, and some data could even grasp single-digit changes. Fang Mingyuan asked endless questions, some of which were still questions for laymen. Just explaining these things made them have to say more than they usually did in a week.

At this time, the phone in the office rang, and Gao Lifang answered it. After a moment, she hung up again, and Fang Mingyuan said, "Mr. Fang, Business Manager Lu is coming over soon and said he has something important to report to you." Gao Lifang

The business manager Lu in his mouth refers to the company's business manager Lu Zhijian. Fang Mingyuan paused for a moment while packing the documents. It's already been this time. Is there anything important that Lu Zhijian can't put off until tomorrow to report?

Lu Zhijian rushed over quickly, and with him were two white-collar beauties who looked to be in their thirties - Luo Xiuyi and Li Meiting, the company's global marketing managers.

"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry to bother you." Lu Zhijian said apologetically, "It's just this matter that I have to report to you."

"What's the matter? Manager Lu, please tell me!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "It's not an interruption, Manager Lu doesn't need to worry about it."

Lu Zhijian winked at Luo Xiuyi, and Luo Xiuyi and Li Meiting hurriedly said: "Mr. Fang, it's like this..."

It turns out that Thailand's Tenakalin Petroleum Company is the second largest petroleum refining company in Thailand and an important customer of Kuok Shipping Group. The company imports nearly 10 million tons of crude oil from overseas every year, of which

About 50% of the share is transported from the Persian Gulf to Thailand by Kuok Shipping Group Company. By the end of this year, the crude oil transportation contract between Kuok Shipping Group Company and Tenaka Oil Company will be finalized.

Expired.

Now, Kuok Shipping Group Company is actively contacting Tenaka Lin Petroleum Company regarding the renewal of the contract. However, today, Kuok Shipping Group Company’s office staff in Thailand received information from internal personnel of Tenaka Lin Oil Company.

According to the news, Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. is actively contacting Tenaka Oil Company, hoping to get a share of Tenaka Oil Company’s crude oil transportation business.

"Mr. Fang, the remaining 50% of the transportation share of Tenakalin Petroleum Company is divided among three domestic shipping companies in Thailand, and the CEOs of these three shipping companies are not directors of Tenakalin Petroleum Company.

They are members of well-known families in Thailand. Moreover, the latest transportation contract signed by Tenakalin Petroleum Company with them will not expire until July 2002. Therefore, we believe that Japan Diamond Cruises

This move of the Co., Ltd. is aimed at our Kuok Shipping Group Company!" Lu Zhiqiang said calmly. The new president had just taken office, and something like this happened among the old customers they were responsible for. Why?

Wouldn't it make him feel bad?

Not only was he feeling awkward, but Fang Mingyuan felt the same way! On his first day of taking office, he was about to end his work smoothly. How could something like this happen?

Although Fang Mingyuan's understanding of the world's shipping industry is far less than that of Guo Tianyu, he has also heard of the name of Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. This is a Japanese shipping company established in 1900 and has now grown to

With nearly 30,000 employees, it can be called Asia's top shipping company. It is affiliated to Japan's Mitsubishi Consortium. Although Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd.'s tanker fleet is much smaller than its container shipping fleet, it is

It is also a company with considerable shipping capacity in Asia.

"What Tenaka Oil Company currently means is..." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "How did our company reach an agreement with them in the first place?"

Lu Zhijian said: "We signed this transportation contract with Tenaka Lin Oil Company three years ago. At that time, the chairman of Tenaka Lin Oil Company was a good friend of Mr. Guo. But last year, Tenaka Lin Oil Company

The company's original chairman passed away due to an accident, and the company's shares underwent drastic changes. The original company's third largest shareholder, Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya, became the largest shareholder. He is now the company's chairman."

"That Dawang so-and-so, how is your relationship with us?" Fang Mingyuan frowned and asked. This kind of contract obtained because of interpersonal relationships is easy to get, and naturally it is also easy to lose. It is common for people to leave after leaving.

"The relationship between Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya and us is not very good." Lu Zhijian hesitated and said, "He is a well-known pro-Japanese person in Thailand. Moreover, this time, we heard that Tokyo Mitsubishi

The bank played a very important role in it!" Fang Mingyuan was not surprised by this news. Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi and Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. originally belonged to the Mitsubishi Consortium. In this matter, if everyone cooperates, it can be said

This is a completely normal thing.

"What's the purpose?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

Lu Zhijian said with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "We are still continuing to check. All we know now is that it seems that the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi has agreed to lend money to Tenaka Oil Company."

Fang Mingyuan suddenly realized. If this is the case, it makes sense. After the Southeast Asian financial crisis, although all Asian countries have experienced economic rebound and recovery, Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand no longer have the rapid development before the crisis.

Momentum. Although the economy is still growing, the growth rate is pitifully small. The Thai government can be said to be worried about this.

Therefore, if Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi agrees to provide loans, or agrees to launch any projects in Thailand, it will indeed be a great temptation for Thai people. At this point, Hong Kong's local financial industry, compared with Japan's financial industry,

There is still a big gap. After all, Japan has been the world's second largest economic power for many years, and its financial industry is still very strong, and its influence in Southeast Asian countries cannot be underestimated - before the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, Japanese financial institutions

It has penetrated deeply into Southeast Asian countries. The Southeast Asian financial crisis was certainly caused by international financial speculators seizing the loopholes in the financial systems of Southeast Asian countries and causing trouble. However, it later became more and more serious, but to a large extent it was because of,

The financial order in Japan was in turmoil, and major banks were withdrawing funds from overseas.

"Furthermore, there is news from Tenaka Oil Company that the current chairman Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya is very dissatisfied with the calculation and payment of freight in the crude oil transportation contract signed with us.

I think we have been given too many discounts by Kuok Shipping Group!" Lu Zhijian said in a low voice. In the international crude oil market over the past two thousand years, crude oil prices have risen significantly, which represents the recovery of the world economy, strong energy demand, and crude oil transportation costs.

Naturally, a rising tide lifts all boats. When Tenaka Oil Company released the news, he originally thought that Tenaka Oil Company would take the initiative for future renewals. Now it seems that it may also be because of Japan Diamond Cruises.

Co., Ltd.’s intervention.

"Manager Lu, compared with other shipping companies, are our freight rates high?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

Lu Zhijian said bitterly: "Why is it higher? Compared with the three companies in Thailand, our freight is at least 30% lower than them! To say that we have an advantage, apart from the timely settlement, there is nothing else.

What's wrong? Dawanglaye? Na Ayutthaya is just talking nonsense with his eyes open!"

Fang Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He believed that Lu Zhijian could not lie to him about this kind of thing. In that case, the new chairman of Tenaka Oil Company intended to part ways with Guo's Shipping Group Company.

At this time, the lights were already bright in a mansion in a wealthy area of ​​Bangkok. This was owned by the family of Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya, the new chairman of Tenakalin Petroleum Company. In the restaurant of the mansion

, four people are sitting around the dining table.

"Mr. Togaki, in order to show our sincerity, we have expressed our opinion to Kuok Shipping Group Company not to renew the contract." Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya smiled and said, "I believe this.

, it won’t take long, Mr. Togaki, you will be able to see it! However, Mr. Togaki, I would like to know when your loan can be processed? Our Tenaka Oil Company needs this very much.

A loan to expand our production scale!”

Tsuchigaki Okita, who was sitting opposite him, put down the chopsticks in his hands. He smiled and said in Thai: "Neda Wanglaye? Na Ayutthaya, can you still not trust the credibility of our Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi? That of your company

The loan amount is huge and cannot be easily decided by our Bangkok branch. It must be reported to the head office in Tokyo. The head office also needs time to verify and investigate the situation. There is an old Chinese saying, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Naida

Wanglaye Na Ayutthaya, you have to have some patience!"

Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya couldn't help but change his face slightly. This loan from Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi is not only very important to Tenakalin Oil Company. It is also very important to himself and the Na Ayutthaya family.

It is also very important to say that the Na Ayutthaya family is one of the important political and business families in Thailand. They are members of the original aristocracy from Ayutthaya. Although Thailand has announced the abolition of feudalism since the reign of King Rama VIII

Titles of nobility. However, in Thailand, these members of the original nobility still enjoy high social status.

This loan is indeed intended to be used by Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya for the expansion project of Tenakalin Petroleum Company, but the company that will take over this project in the future has a close relationship with the Na Ayutthaya family.

Another closely related family is the Varariello. The Varariello family will give generous rewards to the Na Ayutthaya family in other ways. In this way, secretly, the Na Ayutthaya family will receive

Excessive benefits. And these days, the Varariello family has been urging Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya to start new projects as soon as possible.

"Neda Wanglaye? Na Ayutthaya, please don't be anxious. This is a prudent move by Mr. Togaki. After all, your company's loan amount is huge. No matter which bank it is, after the experience of 1997,

, will never lend such a large loan easily again. Therefore, the necessary procedures still need to be followed. We can guarantee that as long as your company faithfully fulfills our agreement, this loan will definitely be approved.

"The middle-aged man sitting on the other side of Togaki Okita smiled and said, "We at Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. are also looking forward to getting your company's crude oil transportation contract."

"Hmph!" Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya snorted lightly. Although the negotiator Oe Yusaburo sent by Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. was right, since 1997,

Whether it is Thailand's own banks or banks in Southeast Asian countries, the approval of huge loans is much stricter, and there are many additional conditions. If Tenaka Lin Petroleum Company borrows money domestically, the procedures are not only complicated, but also time-consuming.

Long. This is naturally something that the Varariello family cannot tolerate. But when he hears it, he always feels very uncomfortable.

"Neda Wanglaye? Na Ayutthaya, your country and our country have been allies for many years. Naturally, we should support each other, develop and prosper together, and jointly resist the economic invasion of those countries with bad intentions. We, Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi and Diamond

Cruise Lines Co., Ltd. hopes to become a close business partner with your company, you have no doubt about this!" Tsuchigaki Okita raised his glass and smiled. Thailand was an axis of participation during World War II.

Japan had signed the "Japan-Thailand Offensive and Defensive Alliance Treaty" with Japan. At that time, Thailand also openly declared war on Britain and the United States. Japan ceded part of its occupied territories in Burma and the northern part of the Malayan Peninsula to Thailand. During World War II,

After that, both countries became allies of the United States.

Dawanglaye Na Ayutthaya also raised his glass, and everyone drank it down.

"I heard that Guo Tianyu, the president of Guo's Shipping Group, was in a car accident recently. Although his life was saved, he fell into a coma. Now Guo's Shipping Group is in chaos!" Oe Yuzaburo

With a bit of excitement. Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. has developed much faster than its counterparts in Asia in recent years. Especially its big move to build seventeen supertankers at one go has made Japan Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. feel

a serious threat.

In this regard, Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. once wanted to purchase new supertankers tit for tat to expand its shipping capacity, but was surprised to find that shipping companies in Japan and South Korea that can produce supertankers have more or less accepted them.

When the order came in, production tasks have been scheduled until the end of this year. The largest buyer is naturally the Kuok Shipping Group Company, and the rest of the buyers are from all over the world. Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. cannot investigate them one by one.

This time, Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. competes for the crude oil transportation contract of Tenaka Oil Company, which is an obstacle to the expansion of Kuok Shipping Group. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
