Chapter 1803 Seeing the Poor Dagger 7

True and false, false and true, many things cannot be said clearly, and at the same time, I don't want the other party to know. How much you can understand depends on the understanding of the kid in front of you. Don't say that Bauhaus-Sanderson is a family heir, and he is not very sure about that; even the patriarch; he dare not attack BP easily!

The two sides are not in the same order of magnitude at all. If someone else told him that he supported the acquisition of BP, he would definitely think he was crazy; or make fun of him.

But the richest man Bao is a man of his word, so why should he make such a joke with you; there is no need at all.

Bauhaus-Sanderson thought for a moment and said: "All the money I have at my disposal at the moment; no more than 1 billion. But want to buy BP, even if the government shares can be paid in installments; no 4 billion; simply can't do it arrive."

Unexpectedly, this kid in front of him has some family background. It seems that the old man of the family is really kind to him.

Basic information shows that the total assets of the entire Sanderson family are around 3.0-3.5 billion pounds. The prices of many real estates are not well evaluated; especially after Britain launched a war abroad; housing prices have even dropped slightly.

A century-old family has absolutely no shortage of art collections; there are too many uncertainties in the price, so it can only be estimated.

But one person can mobilize one-third of the family's assets, which means that the old man passed away this time; there is no shortage of benefits.

This is indeed the case, before the old Sanderson died; he had already transferred many assets to his grandson. It's just that it hasn't been fully completed, which makes Bauhaus-Sanderson not the patriarch.

The elderly who have controlled the family for more than 30 years have absolutely indispensable assets; making Bauhaus-Sanderson the biggest beneficiary. Before, his personal assets would not exceed 100 million pounds; it was mainly the inheritance left by his mother.

Although there are one billion pounds, I want to turn them all into cash; I still need to find a bank loan and sell some items. However, in order to show their strength and get the hard-won opportunities, they don't care so much.

Not everyone can be recognized by Bao Zixuan, even if he becomes the opponent's younger brother; it is not unacceptable.

Michael Kadoorie is the best example, currently in Xiangjiang; no one is more chic than the Kadoorie family. All projects are proceeding in an orderly and unstable manner, and the family's assets have inflated many times. And it has never been heard that Bao Zixuan has interfered with the operation of the other party's company. Heiyun Group alone is busy enough, so there is so much time.

After BP was successfully acquired, he must be the one to manage it; at present, it is simply unrealistic to want to fully control Standard Chartered Bank. Although he has never studied oil extraction, he is no stranger to company management.

Another important point is BP; it is very difficult for outsiders to get involved easily, and the official will never agree. Unless Bao Zixuan voluntarily became a British citizen; there was still a glimmer of hope before; but after owning Fujairah, the road has been blocked.

At most, he can cooperate with the other party in the international market, but these are not harmful to him. At this moment Bauhaus-Sanderson already had an idea in mind. And I very much agree with Bao Zixuan's previous statement that there is only one chance; if you don't seize it, it will be difficult to have it again in the future!

Bao Zixuan was able to become the world's richest man from a poor boy, and he was admired by thousands of people wherever he went; why couldn't he. Leaving for a short time is not a bad thing; it can not only confuse uncle and make him relax his vigilance. As long as it is done well enough, it will even become a good story.

There is no need for the other party to deceive himself, he is not that high in value; once it gets out, it will cause great damage to his reputation!

Now that I have decided, I think about how to act next; in order to be recognized!

Seeing the other person's expression, Bao Zixuan knew; the kid in front of him was definitely moved, and things became easier!

At present, the official holds 51% of the shares of BP, and has long wanted to sell it; especially when the country needs funds. The United States suppressed the Soviet Union, which kept international oil prices at a low level; British Petroleum Company was good at not losing money because of the cost of exploitation; that's why no one was willing to take over.

Although we all know that oil is a good thing, it is not a profitable business; and the price is too high, so I dare not try it lightly!

The cost of labor in the North Sea oilfield is extremely high, and oil extraction is extremely difficult. In 1/3 of the oil fields, the exploitation cost is above USD 50/barrel. In the years when the oil price fluctuated violently around $30, many energy projects around the world were forced to cancel; it was just because the UK did not want to be controlled by others in terms of energy, and had to subsidize it with funds!

As someone who has experienced it, Bao Shoufu clearly knows that the price of oil will not remain unchanged; it will always be at a relatively high position in the future. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States lost its biggest competitor; it is natural to appease some countries in the Middle East; oil prices are always low, of course there will be opinions!

Although the cost of oil extraction in Saudi Arabia is extremely low, you can't always take advantage of others; after a long time, everyone will resist!

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Don't worry about the funds, as much as you need will be provided to you. And don't worry if you can't pay, BP has a lot of high-quality assets."

"For example, offshore oil exploration technology, patent authorization, and equipment sales will all be a considerable amount of income. The previous management personnel did not know how to do business at all, and did not know how to be flexible; this caused the pearl to be dusty, and many technologies did not make full use of them. value."

"There are too many similarities, it depends on whether you can dig."

Bao Zixuan specifically mentioned offshore oil extraction technology, which made Bauhaus-Sanderson immediately understand the other party's purpose.

Offshore oil fields are mainly divided into three categories: shallow sea, deep sea and ultrdeep sea. The ultrdeep sea refers to the ocean with a water depth of less than 1,500 meters. There are two sets of standards for distinguishing shallow sea and deep sea, namely Norwegian standard and European and American standard. According to Norwegian standards, shallow sea refers to the ocean with a water depth of more than 300 meters, and deep sea refers to the ocean with a water depth from 300 meters to 1500 meters. The standard for distinguishing shallow sea and deep sea in European and American countries is based on a water depth of 500 meters, that is, shallow sea is within 500 meters, and deep sea is below 500 meters.

At present, countries in the world capable of deepwater oil and gas exploration include the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, and Australia. Up to now, the deepest record of deepwater drilling in the world is 3174 meters; and the deepest operating record of underwater oil and gas exploitation is 2943 meters; all created by British Petroleum.

The technical difficulty of deep-water operations is almost the same as that of aerospace engineering. From the perspective of the design, development and application of large-scale mechanical equipment in the world, the underwater production system of deep-water oil and gas fields, or underwater mining system, can be regarded as the pinnacle of contemporary human scientific and technological achievements, just like aviation and aerospace engineering. Such a high-tech, its cost is of course not cheap. Currently, the average cost of building a set of deepwater underwater oil and gas extraction systems in the world exceeds US$1 billion.

BP has been operating in the UK since it lost its drilling rights in Iran. The main forces are concentrated on the North Sea oil fields, making offshore oil extraction technology reach world-class standards.

Even though Heiyun Group has a strong industrial foundation, it will take some time to master deep-sea oil extraction technology. During the period, a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources will be wasted; and whether it will be successful in the end is still uncertain.

Offshore oil extraction technology is basically in the hands of super giants; that is, the so-called seven oil sister companies.

There is no need to consider the three companies in the United States. As for other companies, the ownership structure is complicated; it is not so easy to obtain core technologies.

British Petroleum Corporation had always been the official holding company before; even if Bao Zixuan wanted to buy it, there were too many departments that needed to be persuaded;

Among these companies, the company with the most mature offshore oil exploration technology is none other than British Petroleum. After all, apart from working **** it, I really don't know where to get oil.

With the weakening of the British Empire, the Middle East did not dare to think about it; other countries did not have oil for you to mine. This is why the cost of mining oil fields in the North Sea has always remained high, and BP is still insisting on it. There is no other choice but to carry on!

At present, half of the Persian Gulf is controlled by Bao Zixuan. How many oil resources are there below; it is simply unimaginable. If you want to mine, you must have deep sea mining equipment.

Once you control BP, you can not only obtain equipment; you can also master related technologies. Combined with the industrial strength of Heiyun Group, most of the world will not be difficult for them.

Bauhaus-Sanderson thought for a while and said: "As long as I can control BP, I will definitely meet all the requirements of Baosheng."

The other party just wanted to find an Englishman, and he was not obligatory; if there was any hesitation, it would definitely not be considered. Bao Zixuan has money in hand, so he can find someone to cooperate at any time; but he can't. Apart from the other party, there was really no one who was willing to spend money to fund his acquisition of British Petroleum.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It's not that serious, as long as the two sides cooperate. Remember that we are partners and have no direct affiliation. Cooperation requires fairness and justice, and oppression cannot last long."

Although it takes the initiative, I still have to say some polite words; at least it makes people feel more comfortable. If the other party is too serious, it can only be said that the person is too naive; no one else is to blame.

Bauhaus-Sanderson said with a smile: "When the Asian affairs are arranged, I will return to England; nothing will be delayed, and Baosheng can rest assured."

Dealing with smart people is simple, knowing what you want.

So the two talked about some details, and at the same time Bao Zixuan promised to send people to fully support; the Blackstone team will go to London.

Unlike HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank does not have its core business in Hong Kong. In addition, HSBC's shareholding structure is too complicated, unlike Standard Chartered, which owns and controls the family; therefore, it buys government bonds more in the name of the enterprise.

In the royal dinner, the Sanderson family is also on the list of invitations; such an opportunity to perform, as the new patriarch, naturally he will not miss it. Has already purchased 50 million pounds of bonds on behalf of the family, so Governor Wilson Wilson did not come to him.

Just when Bao Shoufu felt that he could take a break, an acquaintance came over.

They are all old friends, besides, it is true that we haven't seen each other for too long; it is not easy to meet each other, so naturally we have to communicate with each other.

If you want to talk about the many established families in Xiangjiang, which one has opened up a new field and achieved great success; Guo Desheng is definitely on the list.

Following Bao Zixuan's suggestion, after entering edible oil processing; the Guo family invested a huge amount of money. There is even a posture of breaking the boat and swearing not to give up until the goal is reached!

Edible oil processing is different from other technologies; there is no so-called technology blockade. Seeing the money, many companies will not have any objection to providing equipment and transferring technology. The technical threshold itself is not high, if you do not seize the opportunity, it is easy to cheap competitors.

The Guo family insisted on establishing the world's largest and most advanced edible oil processing plant in the Chinese mainland. Although land prices in mainland China have risen slightly, it is equivalent to the price of cabbage for a family that has been engaged in real estate in Xiangjiang for decades.

And because of good contacts, cooking oil can be sold throughout Southeast Asia; the bigger the scale, the better. At present, the efficiency of the factory is very good, and the production is basically at full capacity.

Others may not know it, but Guo Desheng knows it very well; everything is thanks to Bao Zixuan. If he hadn't followed other people's advice, it would have been impossible to hatch this golden hen.

As long as the factory is well done and reaches a certain scale, real estate is really nothing. Another important point is cash flow. There is income every day, which is very different from the real estate business.

I have long wanted to have a good chat with the other party, not only to express my gratitude; but also to learn from the other party. Let's see which direction to develop in the next step. At the moment in Xiangjiang, except for the richest man Bao; Guo Desheng really doesn't trust other people.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Guo Sheng~www.mtlnovel.com~ Long time no see; they say people are happy when happy events happen. Seeing your condition, is there any happy event you want to share with me?"

The two grades are quite different, and it can even be said that they are not in the same generation at all. But according to what Bao Zixuan meant, he was more like a peer. Although it seems awkward, almost everyone, including Guo Desheng, thinks there is no problem.

Strength determines everything, and it is the first generation; even if there is a gap in age, the two can only be defined as peers.

Guo Desheng said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Baosheng, I've wanted to come here a long time ago; but you are too popular here, so I can only wait until no one talks about it."

"As for your saying that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, it's pretty much the same; although it's not like Baosheng's attacking cities and territories all over the world, since he followed your advice, the Guo family has found the right direction. First, I came here to express my gratitude, and second, I want to learn from it! "

The honest businessman has been planning it, even if he doesn't say it; he still wants to pull it into his chariot. Moreover, Guo Desheng is very responsible in doing business and knows how to be grateful; there is no need to worry about cooperating with him.

After passing away, the family still ranks among the top ten richest people in Xiangjiang; even though there was a production struggle, it is enough to show that the ability of the descendants is not bad!
