After finishing the meal, the yacht had already embarked on its return journey. It was not easy for Li Jianxi to spare the time to accompany him to the sea to see the pollution situation in person, so it was impossible to stay at sea for too long. .

"Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. is going to bleed heavily this time!" Li Jianxi, who was already a bit drunk, sighed as he leaned on the railing. Naturally, he had heard about the domestic news, and many Koreans even publicly expressed their support for the government. Demanding huge compensation worth billions of dollars from Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. Although Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. is a large shipping company, it is really painful to face such a huge compensation.

"If this is just the second leakage accident of the Xiangwan oil tanker, its muscles and bones will not be damaged." Fang Mingyuan leaned on the railing, enjoying the sea breeze and said, "The important thing is whether the single-hull oil tanker will be there." In a short period of time, it was completely banned from entering East and Southeast Asia. In that case, Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. is really in trouble." As long as it can make enough profits, it doesn't matter if the expenses are larger. I'm afraid that on the one hand, the expenses will be huge, but on the other hand, I won't be able to make any money.

"In that case, it will not only be Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd., but also the shipping companies in several East Asian countries, except for your Kuok Shipping Group Company, all of them will be affected!" Li Jianxi said with a smile. Fang Mingyuan laughed and acquiesced. As people pay more and more attention to environmental protection, they are increasingly unable to accept the devastating environmental pollution caused by large-scale crude oil leaks. It will be sooner or later that single-hull oil tankers withdraw from the maritime arena. The thing is, if East Asian countries also banned single-hull oil tankers from entering their ports in advance due to the second oil spill incident of the Shomaru oil tanker, Kuok Shipping Group just happened to meet this opportunity.

"Master Fang, I'm afraid your Guo's Shipping Group Company has purchased more than those seventeen supertankers, right?" Li Jianxi looked directly into Fang Mingyuan's eyes and said. After the second oil spill from the Xiangmaru oil tanker, Li Jianxi He realized that single-hull oil tankers might accelerate their withdrawal from the crude oil shipping market. In the future, all crude oil transported by sea will be double-hull oil tankers. When he realized that this was a business opportunity, Li Jianxi also had some thoughts, but When he secretly investigated many shipyards, he discovered that, including the shipyards under his own group company, all those that can manufacture supertankers are actually quite busy now!

Of course, this is because after the world economy has significantly recovered, the shipping industry has also prospered. This has resulted in a lot more orders for various types of ships at shipyards, but Li Jianxi found that in the past year, Japan and South Korea The number of supertankers built by the two countries far exceeds seventeen, and there are also many medium-sized tankers. There are still almost ten supertankers under construction and on order. Some of the oil tankers that have been launched can be found There are clear buyers, among which Kuok Shipping Group Company is undoubtedly the largest buyer, accounting for three-quarters of the total tonnage of oil tankers, while the remaining one-quarter is divided up by other shipping companies around the world.

But there are still almost 30% of oil tankers. The buyers are some unknown overseas registered companies. Li Jianxi knows that this situation usually occurs when certain companies or individuals want to do something that is not convenient for public disclosure.

Register companies overseas. Then these companies will come forward

Fang Mingyuan's heart also skipped a beat. Li Jianxi was indeed an old fox. He didn't know where to tell. He had purchased more than seventeen supertankers. In order to avoid being too public, he secretly registered a company overseas.

Orders for eight supertankers and four medium-sized oil tankers have been placed. Up to now, more than half of these eight supertankers and four medium-sized oil tankers have been launched and leased to Kuok Shipping Group Company, joining the crude oil transportation from the Middle East to the mainland.

Go in the fleet.

"President Li really has a keen eye. There are indeed more than seventeen ships, but I will not admit this to the outside world." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Li Jianxi's expression couldn't help but change slightly. He was just a little skeptical at first, but he didn't expect Fang Mingyuan to admit it frankly. This means that the total number of supertankers owned by Guo's Shipping Group Company, whether launched or not, is up to

There are more than 20 ships. Not counting those small and medium-sized oil tankers, the deadweight tonnage of crude oil transportation may have reached six to seven million tons, which is almost equivalent to South Korea's overall crude oil transportation capacity.

Although this investment is only two to three billion U.S. dollars, which is not an amount that many multinational groups in the world cannot afford, but who dares to invest in the maritime industry with an uncertain future?

When shell tankers will not withdraw from the oil transportation market for more than ten years, why buy so many tankers all at once? You know, when there is no contract to perform, these ships are huge gold-eating beasts!

It is indeed rare for Fang Mingyuan to have such a vision, but it is even more rare to have this vision and the courage to put it into practice. However, Li Jianxi soon felt relieved. Back then, Southeast Asia

The financial crisis had not yet passed and South Korea's economic prospects were uncertain. Fang Mingyuan also resolutely invested heavily in Samsung Group. Compared with those years ago, the two to three billion US dollars was still a small investment.

Fang Mingyuan is naturally not as smart as Li Jianxi imagined, but he knows that the next ten years will be a decade of rapid economic development for China, and China's demand for imported oil will also rise along with it, and the demand for imported oil in mainland China will also rise.

Shipping companies have limited transportation capacity and rely on foreign shipping companies to transport most of their crude oil. Even if there is no second oil spill from the Shomaru oil tanker, there is no need to worry about the super tankers purchased by Kuok Shipping Group Company.

Customer. Therefore, he is not worried at all about this investment.

"Young Master Fang, your vision is indeed extraordinary. How did you see that Quan Bao'er has the potential to be a star?" Li Jianxi asked with a casual smile. Quan Bao'er has now become a famous star in South Korea.

There is no one among the hottest new singers. Of course, this is because Samsung Group chose her as an advertising spokesperson, which aroused the curiosity of the majority of Koreans, but Li Jianxi also had to admit that that little girl did have something.

What’s different! Even without the support of Samsung Group, she should be able to achieve great results. However, how could Fang Mingyuan decide at a glance that this little girl who had just debuted and was only 13 or 14 years old could become South Korea’s top star?

What about people’s idols?

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "President Li, you don't think I have a pair of God-given eyes, do you?"

"Well, that's what I think!" To Fang Mingyuan's surprise, Li Jianxi nodded without hesitation, "Otherwise, it is really impossible to explain why the people and projects you are optimistic about will achieve great success.

.”

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but said with sweat: "President Li, this is just a coincidence."

Although Li Jianxi was already a little drunk, he was not out of control yet. He just smiled and did not continue to ask questions. Only a fool would believe that these are just coincidences. The Fang family has been in this situation for more than ten years.

Here, the family has grown into a huge family with a considerable net worth in the world, all by chance, so why don't others have this good luck?

"President Li, about..." Before Fang Mingyuan finished speaking, he saw Li Xintong walking over with a mobile phone.

"Dad, Chairman Cui Taiyan's phone number!" Li Xintong said softly.

"Sorry!" Li Jianxi took the call, and Mingyuan bowed gratefully and walked to the other side.

Fang Mingyuan narrowed his eyes, Cui Taiyan, Chairman Cui? If he remembers correctly, he is the chairman and CEO of South Korea's SK Group.

"Master Fang, how many days will you stay in Seoul?" Li Xintong did not leave, but asked Fang Mingyuan softly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay for three days." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. He still had a good impression of Li Xintong. Although she was Li Jianxi's daughter, she was not coquettish or arrogant.

"So tomorrow, do you have any schedule for the day after tomorrow?" Li Xintong asked sideways.

"This... you have to ask Lin Rong for details. I just remember that I have to visit the group's subsidiaries." Fang Mingyuan hesitated and said. He had not been to South Korea for a long time. Not only did he have to listen to reports from management personnel, but he also had to go on-site.

Go to each subsidiary to have a look.

"Assistant Lin said that there are no specific arrangements for the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Can I invite you to Everland?" Li Xintong said with a slightly red face, "After June, dad will arrange for me to work in Everland.

I would like to ask Mr. Fang to see if there is anything that can be improved in the operation of Everland."

Samsung Everland is the largest and most popular theme park in South Korea. It is said to be a resort integrating natural wildlife parks, amusement worlds, shopping, water facilities, racing tracks, golf courses and resorts. The reason why Fang Mingyuan

I know because it seems that later on, I don’t know which year, Girls’ Generation filmed an advertisement for it.

Fang Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay." Looking at her expectant eyes, Fang Mingyuan could not say the words of rejection. When he came to Korea once, he should just go there to relax.

"Then we've made a deal!" Li Xintong reached out her hand excitedly and said, "Let's high-five!"

Fang Mingyuan had just high-fived Li Xinrui and made an agreement, when Li Jianxi came back with a somewhat strange expression.

"Dad, I just agreed with Mr. Fang that we will go to Everland together the day after tomorrow and let him help me see if there is anything worth improving!" Li Xintong said happily. (To be continued...)
