Resource Tycoon Reborn

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. When Chiba Masaharu lowered his attitude so low, Fang Mingyuan naturally couldn't put on a bad face. He smiled and said, "That must have disappointed President Chiba, right?"

Ye Zhengzhi almost choked on his own saliva. Fang Mingyuan's answer was so unconventional that he didn't know how to answer it appropriately.

"Fang Jun, you are too humble." Chiba Masaharu said with some embarrassment, "I am here this time to ask for help from Fang Jun on behalf of Mitsui O.S. Lines."

Fang Mingyuan opened his eyes wide in surprise, and said with a surprised look: "President Chiba, are you kidding me? Mitsui Lines Co., Ltd., one of the world's top 500 companies and one of Japan's largest shipping companies, also needs my help.

When?"

Chiba Masaharu looked at Fang Mingyuan speechlessly for a long time, and suddenly said: "Fang Jun, although I don't understand why you are very dissatisfied with me, or with Mitsui O.S. Lines, but I am here to seek cooperation. Please

Don't bring your emotions to work. Public is public, private is private! Even if you don't care about your own losses, you should still be responsible for the other shareholders of Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd."

Fang Mingyuan was startled, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "President Chiba, you are right. It was indeed my mentality that was not right. I apologize to you. Okay, President Chiba, you can say

Your formal invitation."

Although Qianba Zhengji wanted to ask clearly why Fang Mingyuan's mentality was not right, but looking at Fang Mingyuan's expression, he also understood that even if he opened his mouth, he probably wouldn't be able to ask anything. So he simply didn't ask. He went straight to the point and said: "Fang Jun

, on behalf of Mitsui O.S. Lines Co., Ltd., I formally sent a request to Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd. and Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd., hoping to obtain the transfer of at least three LNG ships. Of course, if you are willing to transfer a few more ships, as long as the price is reasonable.

, we are also very welcome.”

"Transfer at least three LNG ships?" Fang Mingyuan said with a dumb smile, "President Chiba, why do you think we will sell LNG ships to you? We are out-and-out competitors."

"First of all, judging from the data obtained by our Mitsui Lines Co., Ltd., Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd. have a total of six LNG ships launched into the fleet this year. And next year, seven more LNG ships will be completed and launched.

, and these ships are currently owned by Guo's Shipping Group Company. Thirteen LNG ships have joined the fleet in just two years. I wonder if Guo's Shipping Group Company has found a use for them.

Is there a place?" Chiba Masaharu said seriously.

The lng transport ship is an internationally recognized "three high" product. It is a high-tech, high-difficulty, and high-value-added product. It is precisely because of its characteristics that it is known as the "crown pearl" of the world's shipbuilding industry. Since

They are all "crown jewels". Naturally, it is impossible to build a large number of them like bulk goods! Counting from January 1, 2000, it has been nearly five years, and among all the shipyards in the world,

The total number of LNG transport ships launched has not reached one hundred. Among them, the number of LNG transport ships obtained by Guo's Shipping Group Company has reached 17, and the LNG transport fleet of Guo's Shipping Group has also reached

An astonishing number of twenty-one ships. Although there is still a gap in scale compared with the LNG transport fleet of Mitsui Lines Co., Ltd., it has still become the leader in the world's LNG transport fleet.

Since China has not yet had a ship of liquefied natural gas enter the country, the current main customers of Kuok Shipping Group's LNG carriers are Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries. In these countries, liquefied natural gas

The transportation business is already relatively mature, so Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. has to compete with other shipping companies that transport liquefied natural gas. Therefore, the business development is not so smooth. To put it bluntly, the growth of the business cannot keep up with the growth rate of ships.

Leaving part of the transportation capacity vacant.

And next year, Guo's Shipping Group Co., Ltd. will also receive a batch of LNG transport ships. The vacant shipping capacity will undoubtedly be further expanded. This is why Chiba Masaharu is more confident that he can obtain it from Guo's Shipping Group Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd.

The key to the ship is that if the LNG transport fleet of Guo's Shipping Group Company is too tight and has no spare capacity, then there is nothing to say. Since Guo's Shipping Group has ships but no business for a while,

However, Mitsui O.S. Lines has so much business that its shipping capacity is seriously insufficient. So wouldn’t everyone be happy if the two parties reach a deal for LNG carriers?

"Haha..." Fang Mingyuan said hehe, but didn't say anything. He just motioned for Chiba Masaharu to continue.

"Second, I heard that Fang Jun is actively working to open up the import and export channels from the three northeastern provinces of your country to the Sea of ​​Japan through Primorsky Krai of Russia?" Chiba Masaharu said confidently, "We at Mitsui O.S. Lines Co., Ltd. can

In this matter, help Fang Jun acquire the shares of the company that owns the port operating rights of Vostok Port in Nakhodka, Russia!"

There was a look of surprise on Fang Mingyuan's face. No wonder Chiba Masaharu had the confidence to negotiate with us and get at least three LNG transport ships from Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd.

Vostok Port belongs to the city of Nakhodka in Russia. It is the largest and deepest port in the Far East. It is also the terminal station of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

If calculated in terms of cargo volume, Vostochny Port can rank third among all ports in Russia, second only to Novorossiysk and St. Petersburg. It is navigable all year round, and the port is equipped with high-power loading and unloading equipment.

The annual cargo throughput has reached more than 20 million tons! Oriental Port has a total of 18 terminals, which can be used to export coal, wood, oil, and grain. It also has the largest specialized container port in the Far East, with a cargo handling capacity of 100,000 tons per year.

Three hundred thousand TEU!

The terminal operation rights of this largest seaport in the Far East are now controlled by four Russian companies. Each of these four companies has a large Russian private enterprise as its backer.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan finally showing a look of surprise, Chiba Masaharu felt extremely relieved. At this time, he finally caught something that Fang Mingyuan was interested in, right? (To be continued)
