Chapter 330: Seize development opportunities

In Wei Li's CEO office, Wei Li and Bertha Gall met Li Yihui, who had come from afar.

Although we are not from the same company, and are not even related to each other, after all, we are all working for the boss in Su Cheng. It would be best if the two parties can cooperate.

"Mr. Wei Li, it's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you." Li Yihui said with a smile as soon as he saw Wei Li.

Although it was his first meeting with Wei Li, Wei Li, as the president of Hutchison Whampoa Group, was the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa before Su City took over, so he often appeared in newspapers, TV and the like, even in There is often news about him in Singapore, and he is quite a news figure, so Li Yihui still knows Wei Li.

"Hello Mr. Li, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Bertha Gall, the general manager of our Hutchison Petroleum Company." Wei Li nodded and smiled, and then introduced Bertha Gall to Li Yihui.

After Li Yihui shook hands with Wei Li and Bertha Gall respectively, everyone sat down.

Although Hutchison Oil Company has been cooperating with Tianwen Oil Company, Li Yihui has not been in office for a long time, so he has not met Bertha Gall.

"I wonder if Mr. Wei Li and Mr. Gal asked me to come here. Do you have something to discuss?" Li Yihui asked directly.

"Mr. Gall, tell me." Weili turned to Bertha Gall and said.

Bertha Gall nodded, and then said to Li Yihui: "Mr. Li, this is it. You should also know the general situation of our Hutchison Petroleum Company. Our Hutchison Petroleum Company currently owns 62 gas stations. Even if Before the oil crisis, the business of our 62 gas stations was very good. Now, they are busy almost 24 hours a day, so we plan to expand to chain gas stations in places like Hong Kong and Malaysia. Many gas stations have been closed, and we can even expand our business in Indonesia, Siam and other places."

"Do you want us to expand the size of the refinery?" Li Yihui suddenly thought of the key.

It has been some time since he took office at Tianwen Oil Company, and he naturally has a clear understanding of the specific situation of Tianwen Oil Company. The shortcoming of Tianwen Oil Company now is its insufficient refining capacity.

The oil base in Tuen Mun will become a super large-scale oil refining base in the future, but construction will take time. It will take at least half a year for it to be officially put into production.

"Mr. Li is indeed smart. Yes, we hope your company can expand its refining capacity. Now is the best opportunity. I heard that the boss has been asking you to sell crude oil. I think you can make a lot of money just by selling crude oil, but If you sell refined products, the profit will definitely be higher, which will be beneficial to both Hutchison Petroleum Company and Tianwen Petroleum Company. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Bertha Gall said with a smile.

"I also want to increase production capacity, but you should also know that it will take more than half a year for the oil base in Tuen Mun to be officially put into production." Li Yihui shook his head and said.

"Mr. Li, we don't know when this oil crisis will end. If we wait more than half a year, it might end. By then we will have missed the best development opportunity, so we must seize this most critical opportunity." opportunities, I think Mr. Li can acquire one or two large refineries or several small refineries. The most important thing in the world right now is the lack of crude oil. Large oil companies can still get crude oil, but small oil companies may not be able to. They have obtained crude oil, so if they cannot get crude oil, they will definitely not be able to start operations and they will lose money every day. This is also the best time for you to acquire the refinery." At this time, Weili said aloud.In fact, Hutchison Petroleum Company can also acquire the refinery itself, but this is equivalent to grabbing Tianwen Petroleum Company's business. They are considered competitors, and they are all Sioux City's industries. Weili is afraid of what Sioux City will do to him. opinions, so after discussing it with Bertha Gall, he felt that it was best not to get involved in this field and just do a good job in their sales.

I am not a manufacturer, I am a sales channel dealer, and I can still make a lot of money!

After hearing Wei Li's words, Li Yihui did not rush to answer, but thought about the feasibility of this matter.

It has been almost a month since he joined Tianwen Oil Company. Today's Tianwen Oil Company is indeed still small before the Tuen Mun oil base is officially put into production.

When the future develops, if you want to be on par with world-class oil companies such as Shell, Exxon Mobil, and BP, it will be impossible to rely only on the Tuen Mun oil base and the two small refineries on Lamma Island and Singapore. matter.

Now, he is selling the crude oil for Sioux City, and the money will not go to the capital account of Tianwen Oil Company.

And Wei Li is also right. Just selling crude oil is indeed a bit wasteful. Don’t look at the crude oil in Sioux City now, which has four times the profit, but the products refined by the Lamma Island Refinery and the Singapore Refinery are more profitable. It’s twice as much as the selling price of crude oil!
In other words, if you refine it and then sell it, the price of oil can easily be eight times higher!
Especially now, the refined gasoline and diesel have no worries about selling!
What Mr. Weili said is indeed reasonable. The international oil crisis is not easy to encounter. The development of oil so far has only encountered two international oil crises. Now is the second time, so if you miss this time Development opportunities, I don’t know when the next time will be.

Moreover, the boss has stockpiled crude oil during this oil crisis. He may not be able to stock up on oil when the next oil crisis occurs.

In Li Yihui's view, it was pure good luck that Sioux City was able to stock up on oil within two months before the oil crisis!
If these 1.7 million barrels are sold based on raw materials, the pattern is indeed too small!
In this case, it is better to use part for refining and sell part as raw materials.

1.7 million barrels is a very huge amount, and Li Yihui certainly wouldn’t dare to digest it all himself.

However, it is still good to take out some of it for digestion.

For example, of the 1.7 million barrels of crude oil, if 7 million barrels of crude oil are put into a refinery for refining, then the final profit of these 7 million barrels of crude oil will be 8 times terrifying!
This is much better than selling them all, and I believe the boss will agree.

After thinking a lot, Li Yihui finally said: "Mr. Wei Li, Mr. Gal, you are right. This is indeed a rare opportunity. Thank you for reminding me. I have just joined Tianwen Petroleum Company not long ago, so I haven't thought too much about it." Duo, I will discuss this matter with the boss immediately and let you know as soon as there is any news!" Li Yihui said solemnly.
