Resource Tycoon Reborn

"Xianlong, what are you talking about here?" It wasn't until someone interrupted him that Li Xianlong noticed that the room had turned dark at some point.

"Bah!" The person came and turned on the ceiling light in the room.

"Xianping, are you back?" Li Xianlong glanced at his watch and said in surprise, "The auction is over? Why so fast?" The person who came in was Chen Xianping, his friend, who represented Singapore's shipping company in the afternoon to participate in the Iraq War.

We went to the auction of Stern Co., Ltd. Li Xianlong thought, even if we don’t count those single-hull oil tankers, eleven small and medium-sized double-hull oil tankers, two double-hull super oil tankers and up to 39 orders for double-hull oil tankers, it would be enough.

The auction has been going on for quite some time.

"Of course it's fast. East Co., Ltd. Auction Company is simply cutting through the mess with a quick knife!" Chen Xianping said angrily, "Those smaller companies don't have many opportunities to bid at all!"

"Huh? What's going on?" Li Xianlong was refreshed and asked quickly, "How many ships did we take pictures of?"

Amidst Chen Xianping's complaints, Li Xianlong realized that it turned out that the East Auction Co., Ltd. did not auction each ship, but adopted a package auction method. The spot goods were divided into two groups of roughly equal tonnage.

During the auction, the shipping companies present spent a lot of money on these double-hull tankers, including two super tankers, which they bought and put into use.

"How much do you think they spent?" Li Xianlong said in disbelief. He wondered whether his ears were hallucinating. Having worked for the Singapore Port Authority for many years, he was familiar with the market price of oil tankers. Although

It is said that the selling price of double-hulled oil tankers on the market has been rising during this period of time, but the number mentioned by Chen Xianping is too exaggerated. It is almost 240% of the market price of these oil tankers! These shipping

Are all companies going crazy?

"You heard it right! There are just so many!" Chen Xianping nodded solemnly and said, "They are going crazy for these ships!"

Li Xianlong was silent for a long time. After all, he was considered an insider in the industry. He quickly figured it out. Ever since the governments of South Korea and Southeast Asian countries revealed their intention to withdraw single-hull oil tankers from the transportation industry, major shipping companies have been trying their best to rent or rent single-hull oil tankers.

Until now, there are very few double-hulled oil tankers that are still ownerless ships. Although most of these two groups of ships are medium-sized oil tankers, their total tonnage is still considerable. In

At this time, the importance of these transport capabilities is naturally self-evident.

As for those oil tanker orders, although they are also needed by these companies, don't they have to wait for a while to get them? Now, whoever can get more oil tankers first will have a larger market and leave more

As for the customers, the high cost of buying ships and the equally high freight charges will help them solve part of the problem. But for the rest, with the market and customers, can’t they still make money back?

As far as Li Xianlong knows, many shipping companies are now looking for transit ports in Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka to the west of the Strait of Malacca. In this case, they can use single-hull tankers more than fifteen years old to transport crude oil from the Persian Gulf.

Go to the transit port and then use single-hull or double-hull oil tankers with a ship age of less than 15 years to transport them to Southeast Asia and East Asia. In this way, although it will increase transportation costs, it can also alleviate the need for low-age single-hull oil tankers and

The dilemma of insufficient double-hull tankers.

Although this idea is good, it is not easy to implement. These ports are not like Singapore, which has world-class oil storage facilities. And these oil storage facilities cannot be built in a short period of time.

Li Xianlong had to admit that Fang Mingyuan had seized the opportunity very well!

"Then how much did you get?" Li Xianlong asked again. He had asked just now, but Chen Xianping did not answer. But he soon realized that the price of a Temasek company was 240% of the market price.

The directors of the controlling company would probably not allow him to pay such a high price to purchase a ship. Two hundred and forty percent of the market price, which is almost three times the cost of new ships before the crude oil spill! This way

Crazy prices, how to explain to shareholders in the future?

"So what about those oil tanker orders? How many have you got?" Li Xianlong continued to ask.

Chen Xianping shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Not even one!" "Ah?" Li Xianlong opened his mouth wide again, and Chen Xianping could even see the little tongue in his mouth.

Although, judging from what Chen Xianlong just said, Li Xianlong was mentally prepared to return in disgrace this time, but when he thought about it, Chen Xianping was able to capture one or two oil tankers, and it was impossible to return empty-handed.

Bar.

"I have said that East Co., Ltd. Auction Co., Ltd. conducts auctions in the form of packages. The order for seventeen super tankers and the remaining twenty-two Suezmax tankers are divided into six groups. The number of super tankers

They are four, four, three, three, two, and one, with various Suez tankers, and the launching time of these tankers ranges from three months to one year..." Chen Xianping's voice was low.

Li Xianlong was silent for a long time before saying: "So which companies got it?" Although compared with the current ship auction just now, the average price is lower, only 220% to 200% of the market price.

But considering the number of these ships, the ship payment paid by each company is not a small amount.

"American Oxon Lines, South Korea's Hyundai Merchant Marine, Hong Kong's Kowloon Shipping Group, Taiwan's China Petroleum Corporation, Thailand's Preecaus Shipping Company and Malaysian Shipping Company." Chen Xianping sighed.

"Did Japan's Mitsui Marine Co., Ltd. and Diamond Cruises Co., Ltd. not participate?" Li Xianlong said in surprise. These two companies are very powerful oil transportation companies in Asia.

"Their representatives went and raised placards, but they didn't last until the end. I think they came more to experience the atmosphere." Chen Xianping curled his lips and said. He returned empty-handed, naturally hoping for others.

It would be best for each of these companies to pay a sky-high amount of money, so as to give an explanation to their leaders.

Li Xianlong was just surprised for a moment and then thought that these two major companies were probably negotiating with Fang Mingyuan. As local companies in Japan and established transportation companies in Asia, they naturally have advantages that others cannot match, and they have other channels.

, naturally you don’t have to fight with others at the auction.
