Resource Tycoon Reborn

In a villa in a wealthy area of ​​Busan, Fang Mingyuan leaned casually on the bed by the window, with his feet on the coffee table in front of the sofa, a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and an open novel on his lap.

When the yacht docked at Busan Port, he and Cui Taiyan completely reached an agreement. The next thing is between Cui Taiyan and Li Jianxi. Let's see how much Cui Taiyan has to pay to be able to do it.

Li Jianxi nodded, believing that Li Jianxi understood Cui Taiyan's bottom line better than he did.

However, during the negotiation, Cui Taiyan was surprised at the moment he chose to transfer environmentally friendly technology, which made Fang Mingyuan feel very unhappy. In fact, if he had a choice, he would prefer American or European technology.

.However, environmental protection technologies that are not popular in China are not popular in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, but the emperor's daughter has no worries about marrying. Strict environmental protection laws have forced companies in these countries to invest huge sums of money in the research and development of environmental protection technologies.

In order to reduce your own costs as much as possible while meeting environmental protection standards.

Therefore, it is not easy to obtain advanced environmental protection technologies from European and American countries. Fang Mingyuan has been secretly acquiring these environmental protection technologies over the years, but what he has gained is not much. Moreover, these technologies must be applied domestically

In the production of enterprises, it is still a very arduous task. Without the attention of the whole society to environmental protection, these extra costs for achieving environmental protection technology will not be digested!

Fang Mingyuan can only reserve as much technology as possible now, and slowly promote the Chinese people's attention to environmental protection, waiting for the right time.

"Mingyuan!" Lin Rong walked in quickly after opening the door, sat next to him and said, "Sister called, the matter has been settled, and a total of three billion US dollars has been spent."

"Three billion US dollars? After excluding Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., there are fourteen shipbuilding companies in Japan that have accepted our orders?" Fang Mingyuan said slightly surprised. Lin Lian did it so beautifully. This almost wiped out all the large shipbuilding companies in Japan.

Got it!

"Yes, a total of fourteen shipbuilding companies have accepted our orders!" Lin Rong said softly.

Fang Mingyuan noticed the worried look on her face, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong, you're a little worried?"

"Well!" Lin Rong did not hide her worries. Fang Mingyuan placed so many orders in one breath, with the total amount reaching nearly 20 billion US dollars. Although this amount of money is not too big for the Fang family,

Acceptable. But this step is indeed a bit too big. What if... the future development of events is not as expected by Fang Mingyuan? What should I do? No matter how large the demand for crude oil in the mainland is, it will not be necessary

So many tankers, right? Besides, there are so many state-owned shipping companies.

"Haha!" Fang Mingyuan patted her hand gently and said, "Rongrong, don't worry, we won't lose. I can promise you!"

Although this contract seems huge, it will still take a long time to complete the entire contract. And this period of time gives Fang Mingyuan sufficient room to operate!

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, 2001 and 2002 were both disaster years for single-hull oil tankers. So far, there have been two crude oil spills in East Asia.

And he remembered that this year in history, there will be another crude oil spill in the Baltic Sea. An oil tanker collided with a cargo ship in the waters near Denmark, causing the leakage of nearly 3,000 tons of crude oil.

Not to mention 2002, thanks to CCTV, there were more than four memorable incidents of oil spills transported by oil tankers throughout the year, and the most famous one among them, and the one that caused a lot of fuss, was "

The sinking of the Prestige caused a leak of tens of thousands of tons of crude oil. This incident directly contributed to the decision by coastal countries such as Spain and France to strictly restrict any cargo carrying petroleum, crude oil, and fuel oil in accordance with the spirit of the United Nations Law of the Sea two weeks after the incident.

Single-hull ships that are more than fifteen years old and carry dangerous goods that are likely to cause marine pollution pass through the territorial waters of various countries.

Three weeks after the incident, EU governments reached a consensus at dizzying speed, requiring transport companies in EU member states to ban single-hull oil tankers from operating after 2006, and to prohibit the commissioning of single-hull oil tankers from other countries.

Single-hull tankers transport oil; ship owners and personnel on board who ignore safety and cause ecological disasters in the waters of member states will be severely punished.

In short, after 2006, EU waters and US waters have also closed their doors to single-hull oil tankers.

By that time, after basically the waters of North America, the European Union, East Asia, and Southeast Asia had successively said "no" to single-hull oil tankers, the International Maritime Organization decided that only double-hull oil tankers could operate on the oceans starting from 2015.

This decision has actually been significantly advanced.

Once all these things happen as promised, the oil tankers in Fan Mingyuan's hands will become the prizes in the eyes of major crude oil transportation companies. They don't want their transportation market to be cannibalized by other companies. They want to seize more market shares. By then, they can

It's more about who has more double-hull tankers!

You know, at that time, because the International Maritime Organization decided that only double-hulled oil tankers could operate on the ocean starting from 2015, many shipping companies still wanted to squeeze out the last bit of use value of these single-hulled oil tankers, and there was no

In time, they were replaced by double-hull tankers. Even many shipping companies used not only single-hull tankers, but the ships were often more than 20 years old. The oil tanker "Prestige" in which the incident occurred was built in Japan in 1976.

The single-hull oil tanker should have been decommissioned in 1999 under normal circumstances, but it continued to operate until the incident occurred in 2002!

Fang Mingyuan can completely imagine that as soon as the EU decision came out, all shipping companies around the world involved in oil transportation must be full of shipyards with tanker manufacturing capabilities. That period was a wonderful period -

In the days of , they will definitely not worry about the orders in hand. Every shipbuilding company has received enough orders to allow them to build until three or four years later.

Lin Rong looked into Fang Mingyuan's eyes and calmed down for no reason. She chuckled and said, "As long as you have confidence. But why don't you call your sister? She is also very worried."
