I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 541 [Oil Middleman]

In early June, Hong Kong.

In the reclamation section of Central (the location of the ferry terminal), two buildings have risen from the land!

One building resembles an oil drilling platform, and the other resembles a big blue pillar soaring into the sky. The two buildings have become the landmarks of the island;
The building resembling an oil drilling platform is naturally the Global Building, while the sky-high blue pillar is the Cheung Kong Building completed last year;
The 55-storey Cheung Kong Building is the tallest building in Asia;

Looking at Cheung Kong Building from a distance, it looks like a cylinder. In addition, the external structure is made of blue glass curtain wall, so it is called "the sky-high blue column" by Hong Kong people.

The entire Cheung Kong Building has a floor area of ​​50 square feet. The first to sixth floors are shopping centers, and the seventh to 55th floors are office buildings, restaurants, hotels, etc.

As the tallest and most luxurious building in Hong Kong, it naturally attracts many multinational companies to lease office buildings;

At this time, the Changshi Building has been fully rented out.

However, affected by the stock market crash in Hong Kong Island, rental prices fell by about 20%;

Shopping malls with one to six floors, with a shop area of ​​6 square feet;

The average rental price of shops is 15 Hong Kong dollars per square foot per month, with a monthly rent of 90 Hong Kong dollars and an annual rent of 1080 million Hong Kong dollars;
The area from floors 55 to 44 is 4 square feet, with an average rental price of HK$176 per square foot per month, a monthly rent of HK$2100 million, and an annual rent of HK$[-] million.

The current annual rent of the entire Cheung Kong Building can reach 3180 million Hong Kong dollars, while the total construction cost (including the land price) is 6 million Hong Kong dollars.

It seems that it takes 20 years to recover the cost, but it is not. Once the housing price rises later, the cost may be recovered in ten years.

The Rolls-Royce motorcade slowly drove into the basement of Changshi Real Estate, and Wu Guangyao was sitting in the car;

The first floor of the basement is where restaurants and snacks gather, and the second and third floors are the parking lot;

There is also a government-managed parking lot next to Cheung Kong Building, so people who come to Changshi Building Shopping Center don't have to worry about parking spaces at all.

After Cheung Kong Building was put into use, the Wu family finally owned a shopping center in Central;

You must know that it is impossible to have a separate commercial complex in Central, so the shopping centers are located on the lower floors of the building;
Wu Guangyao is not a person who has an eye for money, so although many buildings have been completed ahead, considering that they are the headquarters of various group companies, they are not leased to shopping centers, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

And Wu Guangyao's positioning for Changshi Building is a high-end office building, a high-end shopping center, a high-end restaurant, and a high-end hotel, all in one;

At the same time, the 'Guangyao Family Office' also chose to be on the top two floors.

Four Rolls-Royces drove into the second-floor underground garage and arrived at the dedicated parking space;

Before Wu Guangyao got out of the car, the bodyguards had already carefully observed the surrounding environment and blocked them.

It seems that Wu Guangyao's bodyguard team is a bit of a fuss, and some people may say that Wu Guangyao is showing off;
In fact, Wu Guangyao never cared about the details of the bodyguards, he just spent money to provide jobs, and the rest was the team's business;

Things that I take for granted, but others think that I am showing off, this shows that everyone looks at it from a different perspective!

A 'long leg' protruded from the back door of a Rolls-Royce, with polished black leather shoes and flat black trousers,

Then a temperamental and charming man with a big back came out;
Needless to say, this is the protagonist's debut!
Wu Guangyao walked towards the elevator entrance with confident steps.

The top floor of Cheung Kong Building.

In a very luxurious conference room, Wu Guangyao, Morse, Rong Bensheng, Hollande, Jonas, Gao Ke, and Li Ming were having a meeting.

This combination is a bit strange. Morse, Rong Bunsen, Hollande, and Jonas are Wu Guangyao's personal consultants. Gao Ke and Li Ming are the heads of Global Shipping and Global Terminals.

In fact, it is not surprising at all, because Wu Guangyao is planning a big plan!

Wu Guangyao was the first to say, "Gao Ke, how is the preparation for the oil tanker going?"

Gao Ke quickly straightened up and said, "Global Shipping can transfer a total of 8 million tons of oil tankers during the four months from August to November."

"Will the film affect the normal operation of the company?"

"Maybe a little!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "It's okay! After this time, it's time for Global Shipping to gradually reduce its ships!"

Everyone was stunned, and they all felt a little incredible!

Gao Ke said: "Boss! There is no need to reduce the number of ships. Our ships have no loans, so we can lease them out at a lower price! At least there will be a lot of profit, and so many seamen will be reduced."

Upon hearing this, Wu Guangyao said, "Don't panic, ship reduction is a slow process. My plan is that before the 80s, Global Shipping would only retain 300 million tons of oil tankers and 300 million tons of container ships; As a way out, other factories under my umbrella will give priority to their reemployment!"

Gao Ke said without giving up: "Boss! Although shipping has a downward trend, our global shipping is very competitive. Whether it is price or the quality of seafarers, we have great advantages."

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "I can't be wrong! In the cold winter season of shipping, these advantages can't be changed; if more than half of the ships are empty, the salaries of the seamen, the maintenance fees, parking fees, and damages of the ships , all of which require a lot of money to fill.”

Gao Ke was shocked. The boss predicted that the shipping winter would come?

However, everyone didn't ask the boss after all, because these may just be the boss's predictions!
Wu Guangyao went on to say: "Onassis also agreed to lease me a 200 million-ton oil tanker (3 months), and I also leased a 300 million-ton oil tanker from other ship owners on Hong Kong Island; Gao Ke, you go to Japan, Europe and the United States charter oil tankers, I need a large number of oil tankers from August to October. I will lease them in the name of my Wu family office, and I will ask someone to cooperate with you!"

Although Gao Ke was puzzled, she nodded in agreement first.

Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "The price of oil may increase recently, even if it doesn't increase, it doesn't matter. I will sell it to European and American oil companies, and I won't lose a penny!"

This!
Everyone thinks that the boss always does some unbelievable things, but in the end it turns out that the boss is right!
Therefore, since there is no risk, everyone has no advice!

Morse said worriedly: "Boss, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy 2000 million tons of oil in three months!"

Indeed, the output of oil-producing countries in the Middle East is based on demand. The daily oil production of the entire Middle East is only about 420 million barrels (60 tons), and the monthly output is only 1800 million tons.

Wu Guangyao wants to buy 2000 million tons in one go, so European and American countries should be in a hurry!

"When I went to Saudi Arabia last time, it was already negotiated! The King of Saudi Arabia will help me coordinate and supply me with 2000 million tons of oil from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and other places."

At this moment, the king of Saudi Arabia is the fourth prince who asked Wu Guangyao for a falcon. Since Wu Guangyao knew that he would become king, there is no reason why he should not invest.

Therefore, the friendship between the two has always been there all these years!
In addition, Wu Guangyao bought oil at US$3.3 per barrel this time, which means that the price per ton was US$2.1 higher, and 2000 million tons would be US$4200 million more. Even the King of Saudi Arabia was willing to help this small favor.

For this plan, Wu Guangyao started planning half a year ago;

If you want to make this vote, you must first have an oil tanker, and secondly, you must purchase 2000 million tons of oil within two months (August and September).

Finally, there is the issue of docking oil tankers. After all, if you buy oil, you cannot sell it immediately, and you have to go to Europe and the United States to sell it;

However, the global shipping container terminals around the world can naturally come in handy.

Wu Guangyao told Li Mingdao: "Wharfs in Europe, America and Japan should arrange one to two months for our ships; we must give full play to the role of computer dispatching, so as not to affect business, but also arrange my oil tankers reasonably. If there is not enough space , make arrangements nearby."

Wu Guangyao arranged everything in an orderly manner, and everyone stopped thinking about whether the boss's big move would be a waste of work!

In the end, Wu Guangyao arranged for his M&A consultant, Jonathan, to go to the Middle East in August to take charge of the oil purchase.
