Chapter 406 Jiang's Oil Company
"Ha, where do you get so many roses?" A guy asked next to Zhou Yijun with his nose sucked.
Zhou Yijun turned her head and looked at it. She was shocked to find Jiang Feng right beside her. She couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Aren't you there in the villa?"
"How far is the villa from here?" Jiang Feng said with a smile.
In fact, Jiang Feng was also on a whim. He came to the Jiang branch in Houston to check the situation, but he didn't expect that he would actually see Zhou Yijun collecting flowers, so he couldn't help but tease her.
"I just don't know how to deal with these things. What do you think should I do?" Zhou Yijun asked Jiang Feng.
"Who sent it? So many roses may cost tens of thousands of dollars." After Jiang Feng looked at the flowers in the box, he guessed that there were always thousands of flowers.
Zhou Yijun told about what happened yesterday, and then said to Jiang Feng: "I didn't expect foreigners to be so abrupt."
"It's not because you are charming." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Jiang Feng thought for a while and said, "Look for two people and send the flowers to each office to deliver them, and everyone will enjoy them."
Zhou Yijun thought Jiang Feng's decision was also good, so she called and someone came to work, and the matter was solved in a few minutes.
Just as the flowers were scattered, Jiang Feng received a call, a call from Africa.
The phone call was made by Aisha. After nearly a week of confirmation and research, Aisha finally determined that Sri Lanka's destruction of the LTTE this time was really strange. But she was very surprised why she didn't receive a call from Jiang Feng. He was very busy?
"Mr. Jiang, I feel very uneasy when I talk to you again. The peace process in Sri Lanka is a myth!"
"Ha... the myth has always been written by people with ability, isn't that the case? Miss Aisha must have been studying the current situation in Sri Lanka, right? Haven't you studied the agreement signed by the Ministry of Petroleum Industry of Sri Lanka and the Jiang Consortium?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.
"I have researched it. I think it's a secret transaction. I'll know more about it when you remind me this. It's the reward for your action? In fact, it's a difficult decision to let a country share their valuable resources with foreign investors."
Elsa's speech was political, and she seemed to be able to understand how determined the Sri Lankan government would need to make such a decision.
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "This is true, but when the civil war plagued a country for 22 years, the first thing any head of state wants to do is to end the civil war. This will be the greatest thing he has done during his term, especially a resigned president like Mrs. Kumaratonga, which is not worth a smile than a small thing like selling an oil field. If you change to Miss Aisha, you will not hesitate. I think I was not wrong, right?"
"Yes, I admit that this is nothing compared to the long-term stability of the country." Aisha said. "But, Mr. Jiang, aren't you worried about what other people think of?"
"no, my Jiang Consortium just signed a commercial contract with Sri Lanka. We went to develop oil that they did not have the ability to develop, and they got a suitable return. That's all. As for the changes in the peace process in Sri Lanka. Is there a dime relationship with the Jiang Consortium? No?" Jiang Feng smiled cunningly.
Aisha said: "So, isn't it equivalent to being exposed when you tell me this now? Does Mr. Jiang have a special trust in me?"
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "That's not the case. We just talked about some things. There was no actual evidence. Who would believe Miss Aisha said it?"
Aisha felt that Jiang Fenglang was a very cunning guy, but he still had wisdom that was not as good as ordinary people, so some of his thoughts were even more urgent. She said, "Okay, Mr. Jiang. I hope to meet you again!"
Jiang Feng said, "Is that true? Miss Aisha, but I am currently inspecting some companies in the United States, and maybe I can invest in some investment here! Is Miss Aisha going to come to the United States to meet me?"
"I don't have the idea of going to the United States..." Elsa shook her head and said, "Oh, you are telling me, are you very busy, right? It doesn't matter, I can wait for you to come back to China before visiting you!"
"That's fine. However, I suggest Miss Elsa stays low-key and goes to China, and don't make a big deal..."
Then he talked about the place where he met again. Jiang Feng laughed after closing the line. Sri Lanka's actions not only gained money from entering the oil industry, but another gain was to trap Libyan President Aisha. Will she communicate with her father? Maybe this is possible, but you can't go to that country without having to control part of Libya's resource industry.
I had previously revealed some of the crises facing Biya, and I might be jealous of Gaddafi.
If a person does not hurt the tiger's heart, and if a tiger hurts others' wishes, it is better to be careful. Let's talk about business first, and put politics second.
...
A new wave of strategy of the Jiang Consortium was launched again, and Jiang Feng finally made a decision to invest $50 billion to set up an oil company.
The money is not much, and the scale of the oil company established can only be considered average. At least it is incomparable with old oil companies such as Mobil, Shell and HP, and it is even less than that of the three major domestic oil companies, including CNPC, Sinopec and CNOOC.
However, despite this, the 50 billion US dollars of capital invested, plus the 1 billion barrels of oil resources worth $70 billion, the total assets of the newly established Jiang's Petroleum Company also exceeded 100 billion US dollars.
Moreover, Jiang Feng didn't ask anyone to borrow the 50 billion US dollars of investment. All of them were paid by Jiang's Consortium themselves, and they didn't even use the money from Jiang's Investment Bank. The money was mainly profitable from Jiang's Electronics. This time, Jiang's Consortium won the international crude oil futures market.
Due to the impact of Hurricane Katrina, more than one-third of the oil fields near the Gulf of Mexico were forced to close, and seven refineries and an important U.S. crude oil export facility had to be temporarily suspended. The price of crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange soared by $4.67 per barrel at the opening on August 29, reaching $70.8, an increase of more than 7%. Jiang Feng naturally would not miss such an opportunity. Jiang's consortium quietly set off in mid-August, before Hurricane Katrina was formed, lurking in the international crude oil futures market. When Hurricane Katrina hit and oil prices rose sharply, Jiang's consortium had quietly withdrawn, sweeping away the richest profits, leaving behind a mess.
Jiang's consortium made a lot of money, and it was pitiful for those who followed in to speculate on oil. Why do you say that? Because on August 31, the Bush administration agreed to use strategic oil reserves to help severely damaged crude oil processing plants resume production, and the International Energy Agency announced on September 2 that all 26 member states agreed to put 2 million barrels of crude oil in the strategic reserves on the market every day for 30 days to help solve the market tension caused by Hurricane Katrina and other measures, such as the introduction of a series of measures such as the introduction of crude oil in the New York market, the price of crude oil futures in the New York market fell sharply on the same day. Those who were unwilling to leave and realized it, the speculators who just followed up naturally lost all their money.
This time, Jiang Feng invested in the 50 billion US dollars to start an oil company, of which 40 billion were the gains in the futures market this time. Only 10 billion US dollars was mobilized by the Jiang Consortium in other departments. It can be said that mobilizing 10 billion US dollars of working capital will not have any impact on the current Jiang Consortium.
It can be said that Jiang Feng is very grateful to Hurricane Katrina this time, because he not only directly brought Jiang Feng more than 40 billion US dollars in profits, but also attracted the attention of the whole world, allowing his actions in Sri Lanka to be silently carried out. It was not until his great success that he was known to the world. However, at this time, the people involved in the action had long disappeared from the world's sight. There was no direct clue that could connect these with Jiang Feng.
After Jiang Feng announced the establishment of Jiang's Oil Company, he took Zhou Yijun and others to evacuate the United States, which made Jack McKesson, who had just started his pursuit of Zhou Yijun, very depressed.
However, the people who went to the United States this time did not completely withdraw. The so-called rescue team remained in the disaster area of the United States, and Irina was also still in the United States. She not only had to be responsible for commanding the rescue team, but also carried out another task assigned by Jiang Feng to her and acquired a solar energy company. This is related to Jiang Feng's grand strategy in the African continent. In the past month, Jiang Feng had not had time to come out of this matter.
...
After establishing Jiang's Oil Company and entering the oil market, Jiang Feng began to feel the pressure, from the large consortiums in the United States.
All of the top ten consortiums in the United States are not easy to match. Look at the companies owned by these ten consortiums. Take the Rockefeller consortium for example. It owns Exxon-Mobil Oil Company, the world's largest oil company, with operating income of US$270.8 billion in 2005; Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, with operating income of US$53.27 billion in 2005; Chase Manhattan Bank, the third largest banking group in the United States, with total assets of more than US$660 billion; Westinghouse Electric, one of the world's nuclear power giants, with total assets of more than US$5 billion; United Airlines, the second largest airline in the United States, has more than 500 large passenger aircraft, with operating income of US$19.3 billion in 2005; Martin Marietta, one of the US arms companies, a manufacturer of MK41 missile vertical launch system; Sperry Rand Company, one of the earliest computer equipment manufacturers in the United States...
Jiang Feng believes that these industries combined will definitely have two or three trillion US dollars. Of course, these industries do not belong to the Rockefeller Consortium, but there are shares of other consortiums. However, the Rockefeller Consortium also holds shares in the industries of other consortiums, which can basically be offset. Not to mention the more, Jiang Feng believes that the assets of the Rockefeller Consortium are no less than two trillion US dollars.
Not to mention that the best among the top ten American consortiums such as Rockefeller and Morgan consortium is the Texas consortium where Jack McKisson is located. Although it ranks last among the top ten consortiums, its consortium's total assets are at least $500 billion, which is definitely higher than Jiang Feng's Jiang Consortium.
Of course, Jiang Feng also has his advantage, that is, the Jiang family consortium is under his absolute control, and these large American consortiums are all united by several families, and in terms of action, it is difficult to compare with the Jiang family consortium.
