I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 524 [Oil Merchant]

After returning from BP, Wu Guangyao invited his team to Yaoyue Manor.

"Boss, do you think the oil is unstable?" Wu Guangyao's financial advisor Morse said.

It is also because he has followed Wu Guangyao for more than ten years, otherwise Morse might think that Wu Guangyao is crazy!
Because Wu Guangyao's investment of 5 million US dollars is only to form a joint venture with BP Petroleum Company;

In this way, it is not very helpful for the Wu family to enter the oil field;

There is basically no possibility of making a lot of money, and there is a possibility of losing money!

However, the boss does not have an oil company under his umbrella, and to invest in the North Sea oil field, everything is dominated by BP oil company.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "I'm betting that the Middle East is a powder keg, but now the Middle East and Israel are at odds, and Western countries are on Israel's side; therefore, OPEC dominated by Middle East oil-producing countries will never Make things easier for the West! Besides, even if the price of oil doesn’t rise, as long as I don’t lose money on this investment, just pay some tuition fees and protection fees!”

In fact, Wu Guangyao understood that he could not lose money on this investment!
First of all, I know the approximate distribution map of the oil fields in the North Sea (the middle of the sea is the most in the UK and Norway), so that I can control the cost from the source.

Secondly, there is still one and a half years before the oil crisis, and the price of oil has risen by as much as five times. Regarding mining, no matter what kind of cooperation model it is, it is very beneficial to Wu Guangyao.

Finally, I intend to deepen cooperation with BP Petroleum Company this time. When the UK starts privatization, I will use the proceeds from the North Sea Oilfield as a bargaining chip to take part of BP Petroleum’s shares; Whether you hold it, you can at least win 10% of the shares of BP Petroleum Company.

For the oil field, the Wu family does not need to own its own oil company, but it can buy shares in oil companies or oil projects. This is a self-protection investment method.

Wu Guangyao also told Hollande, the legal adviser: "The legal team must carefully analyze all possible situations. I will tell you the bottom line. Oil prices will definitely skyrocket! Don't be jealous by the British government and treat me differently from those from other countries." Oil companies."

Keira put her hand on Wu Guangyao's hand, comforting her man, everything is up to me;
This woman is becoming more and more confident!

Hollande also said confidently: "Don't worry, the boss, I will not let the London government take advantage of the loopholes. Besides, our Kayla Law Firm is already a common practice for people and the government, and the winning rate is very high!"

Wu Guangyao was dumbfounded, this group of European and American lawyers really dared to risk the world's wrongdoing!
Then, after explaining a few words to Jonathan, the M&A expert, Wu Guangyao was relieved;
I am not afraid of losing money, but I am afraid that the London government will trap me, shameless.

In the end, Wu Guangyao took Kaila's hand and said, "I'm afraid the London side has already investigated the relationship between the two of us; after all, you are the richest woman in Europe with four mixed-race children. After a little investigation, you and I will know relationship!"

Keira said indifferently: "I should have known it a long time ago! But it's okay, just like you said, we are upright, and if we don't participate in ZZ speculation, we will not be afraid of anyone."

Wu Guangyao nodded, and said affirmatively: "Also, to educate children to be patriotic, whichever country's nationality they are, they must love this country! We are a merchant family, so don't participate in those political confrontations!"

After hearing this, several consultants couldn't help admiring Wu Guangyao even more;

Especially the sentence, which country's nationality is one, one must love this country;

This shows that the boss's realm is very high, and he has not instilled bad and narrow thoughts in the children!

Wu Guangyao went on to say: "So, I think the Metro Group will also get a share of this $[-] million investment project."

Keira nodded quickly, showing her trust in Wu Guangyao, without any doubt that she would lose money;

As for the family property that can earn more for her children, Keira is also very keen.

When it comes to the oil field, the London government began to be very cautious, but it was reluctant to give up the investment of 5 million US dollars;

Therefore, after half a month of discussions between the two parties, an agreement was reached.

The London government divided the remaining 360 North Sea oilfield areas into ten large areas, and asked Wu Guangyao to choose two areas as the bidding area; that is to say, Wu Guangyao can bid for 2 areas at one time. Steady.

According to memory, Wu Guangyao pretended to be a magic stick, then prayed again, and finally selected two areas in the middle of the sea area.

The 72 regions require the new company to pay a bidding fee of 7200 million U.S. dollars, and since the new company is wholly owned by Wu Guangyao, Wu Guangyao needs to pay the 7200 million U.S. dollars.

和BP新组的公司——环球BP石油公司，股份情况如下：BP石油公司占股25%（只出技术和管理、部分设备）、吴光耀占股60%（出资4亿美金）、麦德龙集团占股15%（出资1亿美金）。

The amount of investment is not clearly stipulated, which means that Wu Guangyao and the Metro Group can withdraw at any time, and they can also add funds at any time.

Of course, the bid of 7200 million US dollars has been included in the British treasury, so naturally it will not be refunded to you!

Global BP Petroleum Company and the London government signed a mining tax mining contract. Simply put, after the oil is extracted, the government must first pay the government a mining royalty of 12.5% ​​of the current oil price;

Next is a big tax-oil tax, which needs to pay 45% of the profits from the oil exploitation;
Finally, there is another largest tax—corporate income tax, which needs to pay 52% of corporate income.

At this time, the oil tax in the UK was not high, but Wu Guangyao knew that there would be three price increases later, 60% (1979), 70% (1980), and 75% (1983).

Anyway, this time Wu Guangyao made a lot of money!

Of course, there is a premise that one's oil distribution is not wrong, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even see oil.

This is why, the governments of various countries will give oil companies a lot of profit margins;

Because once no oil is detected, oil companies will lose a lot of money.

Moreover, according to the current oil price, even if a 2 million-ton oil mine is discovered, I am afraid that the principal plus interest will not be earned;
But Wu Guangyao just knew that the price of oil was going to skyrocket!

For the newly formed company, Wu Guangyao and Kaila will naturally have to re-recruit some personnel. Otherwise, if an oil well is discovered, what will happen if BP conceals it?
Of course, this is highly unlikely to happen!
Because whoever wants to mine, it is impossible to do it quietly.

After a month, Wu Guangyao was finally able to let go and hand over the rest of the work to his team, and he had to return to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible.

In the end, Kayla did not go with Wu Guangyao because she was worried about the affairs of Global BP and wanted to participate in part of the work herself.

After all, it is an investment of 5 million US dollars, which is a big investment!
